Dawning of the Sun, Rising of the Moon

Three years passed. Celestia grew into a cheerful little filly. Being a princess, she was spoiled by her parents. However she was always grateful. Even at three years old, she was very compassionate toward all living things.  One day she was in the castle gardens with her mother and father. A baby bird fell from its nest from a nearby tree. Celestia started to cry. But she was a clever girl and she figured out what to do. She used her magic, at that age already usable, to lift the chick back into the nest. She trotted over to her parents looking rather pleased with herself. They just sat there and smiled with pride. “You like helping babies huh?” asked her father. Celestia gave a toothy grin and shook her head yes. The two parents looked at each other and smiled. “Well, how would you like to have a baby to help take care of?” asked Helia. Celestia looked quizzically at her mother. “What baby mommy? Are we getting a baby bird?” “No darling. Not a baby bird, a baby brother or sister!” said Selenos. “Mommy’s having a baby!” Celestia’s grin grew even wider. She enjoyed having two great parents, but sometimes, she was lonely. Now she had a new brother or sister to play with! But then she thought. Her smile vanished, and she started to cry. Her mother cradled her. “Celestia, what’s wrong?” “I’m the baby! I don’t want anther baby around! I wont have you guys anymore!” Selenos chuckled a bit before wiping his daughters face. “Oh darling, nothing could ever replace you in our hearts.” “That’s right sunshine.” chimed in Helia. “Just because we have another child, it doesn’t mean you’ll be any less important. We will always love you.” Celestia calmed down after hearing these words. Maybe having a little brother or sister won’t be so bad.

(9 months later)

It was late in the afternoon. Celestia was in her room. She heard her mother scream from down the hall. She was very scared. Would she like her new sibling? Would they like her? Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the doctor came in to Celestias room. “Celestia? Would you like to meet your new baby sister?” A sister! She had a sister! She trotted to her parents room where she saw her mother and father staring at the little bundle in Helia’s arms. “Come here darling.” Cooed Helia. Celestia walked over to her mother’s side of the bed. She gazed in wonder at the new baby. She too was an alicorn, just like Celestia. However, her colors where different. Her coat was a deep navy and her mane was powder blue. She opened her tiny eyes and Celestia could see that they were a dazzling blue-green. “What’s her name?” asked Celstia. Selenos and Helia looked at their new daughter. She was as radiant as the moon with eyes as beautiful as the stars. “Helia, I was thinking we could name her, Luna.” “I love that name Selenos. Our little Luna.” “Luna.” Celestia whispered.
