Sunshower

Previous ChapterCelestia was bleeding profusely from her head, the pool starting from her pole and drooling down her face. Luna sported a few scratches, but they made her look cool. Celestia found refuge behind a long table and she levitated a chair to keep her powerful assailant at bay. Luna grinned and blew up the chair with magic. Celestia made prayers to her parents in Greek as Luna uttered nasty words in Latin.
Just before Luna could deliver the coup de grace, she was denied with an arrow to her dock. Startled, she scanned the room for the foolish shooter. It was one of the guards. He was leading a group of 300, probably and they were all in the doorway. Luna’s eyes widened and she was then spear-tackled into wall by Celestia.
Celestia ducked and a horde of arrows flew into Luna’s body. Celestia then round-horse kicked her sister out the window. Luna plummeted into the roof of another one of Celestia’s studies. This one had a fireplace and was full of scrolls. Luna struggled to stand back up, but she heavy sister had landed on her from the sky.
Luna lay inert on the floor and waited for punishment. She clenched her eyes shut and anticipated the blow. Just then, a scroll appeared over Luna’s head and fell on her. This caused Luna to faint, thinking it was her sister’s hit. Celestia knew this letter was from Twilight, and rage boiled inside her immediately.
She ripped it open, predicting there to be a postcard from wherever she was vacationing from. Instead, it was a friendship report. Luna woke up, only because she found she wasn’t dead at all. Luna snatched the letter from her sister and read it aloud.
After a few minutes of exchanging stairs and apologizing, the full message of the letter had sunk in, and the sister’s hugged. An “awwww” could be heard from the maids down the hall.
“We’ve returned from our quest!”
Celestia and Luna turned to see Trixie and the faux mane 6 materialize into the room. The divine sisters give a loving look at the team and trot over to them.
“Congratulations, my little ponies!” Celestia celebrated.
“Why are you two bleeding?” Rose asked, worryingly.
“Kisses.” Derpy said, out of nowhere, facing a mirror and assuming she’s addressing the other ponies. “We want kisses.”
Everyone looked over at Derpy, Cloudchaser actually had worry in her eyes this time.
Celestia shrugged and lifted Trixie to her level and kissed her on the cheek. Trixie looked embarrassed. Luna did the same.
Celestia then took Zecora and kissed her on the cheek, and Luna repeated, but then added a nuzzle. Celestia foolishly took this as a challenge.
Roseluck walked up to be kissed, but she went to Luna first instead, due to their friendship. Luna kissed her on the forehead and hugged her, and wished her good fortune.
In Equestria, foals who are born during the night (which is relatively rare now) are especially watched over by Luna, and foals born in the daytime are Celestia responsibility. Rose was the only night foal of the group, so this could be where the special treatment was from. Luna didn’t have many to watch over, so she loved all the night foals especially. Celestia had many day-foals, so she cared for them as anyone else.
Celestia forgot this fact and this only angered her. She grabbed Roseluck and kissed her full on the lips. Everypony gawked at her and Luna sighed. She then tossed Rose to the side and pointed at Cloudchaser. Cloudchaser shuddered and walked over to Celestia slowly. Celestia smooches Cloudchaser violently as well, but she could feel the poor filly shudder under her lips, and she puts her down gently.
Luna can feel the disappointment arise from within her, and she simply pats Cloudchaser on the head. Cloudchaser nuzzled her arm in thanks. Vinyl scratch trotted up to Princess Celestia and puckered her lips. Celestia, now seeing the error of her ways, simply gave her a gentle peck on the lips.
Vinyl lifted her head in triumph. “Octy’s gonna be so jealous when she finds out I smooched a princess!”
Before Celestia could even locate Derpy, she was assaulted by a wild nuzzle from out of nowhere. It was Derpy, and she was making a loud ‘RAWRABLARGAR’ sound as she haphazardly prodded the princess with her snout. There was almost a look of worry on Derpy’s face as she did it.
Derpy soon calmed down and received her usual stares from the other mares. Luna wanted her to leave, so she made haste to kiss her so she could do so. When Luna’s sacred lips touched the pegasi’s forehead, her eyes spread far apart.
“I love you.” Derpy said in the most angelic voice Luna had imagined. Everypony’s heart warmed at the sound. Except Trixie’s. She looked at a grandfather clock to her left and noticed the time on it.
“Trixie has to be in Baltimare at noon. As awesome as she is, she’ll never make it on time if she doesn’t leave now.” Trixie said.
“Are you not fatigued?” Luna questioned. They’d been out for a long time; it would only be sensible for them to be tired.
“No, my lord,” Roseluck confirmed, being one of the few that address her as such, “we’ve been out so long that we aren’t tired at all. A bit thirsty, but not tired.”
Trixie teleported into the middle of the conversation. “You should all come to Trixie’s show.”
They all mulled it over a bit, then Zecora spoke.
“Normally, I’d say no…” Zecora sighed and gave a smile. “But, for now, I’d love to go.”
Everypony laughed and rejoiced in the disappearance of Discord, and Luna couldn’t help but feel like an idiot.
“Discord spoke of time during my imprisonment…” Luna began, “Celestia, was Discord even free during this time?”
“No, of course not.” Celestia giggled. “You and I both turned him to stone.”
“He’s dead now.” Derpy informed the two.

It was about 1:15pm when the sun finally came out. The mane 6 and Cheerilee were still hanging around in Twilight’s library. The sunshine poked in through the window and made the ponies giggle, for they assumed the princess had just woken up, where in reality, she probably just went to sleep.
Cheerilee was just telling a story about Applebloom trotting on the roof of the school. The mention of it nearly killed Fluttershy and Applejack.
“And when I asked what the heck she was thinking, she told me,” Cheerilee made her best Applebloom impression, after giggling with everyone a bit first, “Ah jus wanted a gangsta cutie mark.” Twilight nearly fell from her bedroom ledge laughing. Rarity was in the middle of making tea, but she and to put it down and bury her face in her hooves and laugh. However, her laugh was most lady like. Pinkie was rolling around on the floor in pain. Rainbow Dash had just ate, she stood up so she didn’t laugh up her lunch. Applejack just walked outside so she could regain control of her lungs. She wasn’t prepared to here Cheerilee with a southern accent.
Cheerilee watcher her friends laugh and cherished them moment, for she knew that she could lose everything at any time. She looked out the window to see small clouds forming around the sun, but not covering its radiance. Cheerilee chuckled and pulled out her diamond and watched it capture the light and display all the colors of this world.
