Alright, now she’s gonna do it. Now she’s going to just mare up and go down the stairs like a straight up princess. She kicked her hooves a little to get the feeling back in them. There was no stopping, all the momentum was building up. She backed up as far as she could go until she hit a wall. And then she charged forth, ready to take on this foe! She then skidded to a stop at the top of the stairs and hid her head low to the ground and covered it up with her hooves.

Who was she kidding? These stairs would whoop her royal flank.

And to make things worse, her sister appeared at the bottom of this forsaken architecture. And, as per the usual, she was snacking on a banana which meant mischievity was abound. It did not help that Celestia stopped as soon as she got to the middle of the bottom of the staircase and just stood in place, speechless.

“What is she. . .” Luna mouthed to herself.

Celestia pulled a moon pie from nowhere. Oh the delicious treat of cookies, chocolate, and marshmallow. It may sound like some casual snack, something meant for children but for Luna it was so much more. The name itself, moon pie, made it all the more special, as though it were a thing created especially for her. It was so much more than delicious, although it certainly was, but it was a symbol that despite the horrible tales told of Nightmare Moon, some pony in Equestria cared enough about the moon princess to create such a wonderful dessert. Twas a s'more but even better! Too bad for Luna, Celestia began to unwrap the colored paper around it, and immediately Luna’s mouth began to water as she saw that oh so wonderful chocolate. But of course, Celestia loves her sister and would never do anything that might intentionally upset her like selfishly eating a moon pie in front of her with nothing she can do about it.

So Celestia then pulled out a lit candle and held it close to the moon pie.

Luna stared daggers at Celestia. “Sister, thou shalt drop thine candle and leave the moon pie alone.”

Celestia couldn’t help but grin, this was by far too fun. She held the candle a little closer, enough so that the ambient heat from the flame made the chocolate begin to melt slightly and expose some of the cookie.

There was no time for words. If she didn’t look down everything will be fine, just like how it was with children and heights. After all, nothing can hurt you so long as you can’t see it! So she kept her eyes fixed on the moon pie and took one step forward. She missed the first step, hit the second step at an angle, slipped, and fell down the entire staircase. Yeouch!

At the bottom of the staircase, Luna was a total wreck. But at least she finally made it, she finally went down the stairs. Too bad she didn’t have the time to enjoy this little achievement before she passed out from the immense pain.

Luna awoke some time later, still covered in bumps and bruises and scrapes. But it wasn’t this that sent her into a rage and release a shout that unsettled all of harmony for a brief moment. Oh no. It was when she realized that she was brought back up to her bedroom that she yelled.

She looked around to see her servants had apparently been the ones to be oh so considerate as to carry her back to her room of all places. Although she only saw them for a second before they realized they were about to get busted up, and after that all that was left in their place were dust clouds in the vague shape of her servants.

So she got up from the bed, took one step onto the floor with her forehoof, and felt a crunch underneath it. Now, either she stepped on something or she broke her leg, both of which would not surprise her. Although this time luck was on her side, she stepped on something. She lifted this something up to her face and tears began to run down her face. Twas a moon pie.

Maybe her sister wasn’t the cruel mistress she would often jest about. She took a big bite of the delectable treat and savored it as she enjoyed every last morsel in her mouth. The chocolate that cloaked the cookie melted in her mouth and stained her tongue. The cookie crumbled in just such a way that turned solid into a fine powder. And the marshmallow . . . Well, it was replaced with glue. But hey, Luna loves her some glue.

Although this is still a paltry breakfast so Luna went back into the hallway to concoct yet another plan to descend the stairs for breakfast.
