Dark love
Chapter 6: Luna's dream
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Where am I?" Luna asked as she started to look around. It was the castle of the two sisters. Her and Celestia's castle that they had when they started out as princess's. But why was she here? Luna started to look around. The castle looks like it had been halfway destroyed. There was servant ponies carrying out furniture. Luna went to ask one of the ponies what was going on, when the pony passed right through her! Like she was a ghost. Luna processed everything and realized what was going on.
"This must be a dream!" She shouted expecting to have tons of eyes on her looking at her from her little outburst, but they just kept looking forward carrying supplies and furniture. This was odd, you wouldn't expect a dream walker to have dreams. As Luna passed the depressed ponies she realized a familiar piece of furniture. It was a golden throne. It was a white marble throne, with gold encrusted into it. It had red velvet seat cushioning on the throne. It had a golden sun setting on the top of it. Luna suddenly realized that the throne belonged to Celestia. She remembered sitting in it and acting like Celestia to play a prank on the guards. Good times.
She also saw another throne. This one was blue marble, with silver encrusted into it. And it had black leather cushions. With a silver moon setting on the top of it shining brightly. Luna walked into the doorway, trying to pass the rubble. She saw a pearly white alicorn. She had light bubblegum pink hair. And was crying her eyes out. Luna stepped up to her.
"A-are you okay?" She asked. The alicorn didn't budge. The alicorn started to sing in a very silky yet teenage tone.
"Oh sister please forgive me,
Why did it have to end like this?
If only I had just been there for you,
Just like I've ought of two,
I was remised.
So distracted by my duties.
And know I'm alone,
I just don't know what to do.
Do you wanna see the moon rise."
The alicorn stared up at the statue, it was a statue of two alicorns. One was bigger than the other. Luna started to sing in response, knowing the alicorn wouldn't hear her.
"Once did a pony who gleamed like the moon,
Look out on her kingdom and sighed.
Dijected she cried,
Surely no is no pony who loves me,
or finds any love in my night."
Luna finished her little song, and began to tear up. She went to hug Celestia, only to fall straight through her. She landed on the floor with a oof! She cried and cried until everything started to whirl and spin. Luna jumped up breathing heavily. She woke up to her alarm clock. It was the morning about to make way for the afternoon. Luna wiped the sweat from her forehead and tear trails. She shifted lazily out of bed. She moped out to the door. Her mane was still in a sloppy bun. But a little more messier than before.
She opened her door. And yawned. She slowly opened her eyes only to see a guard standing in front of her.
"Um hello there Princess." The guard said with a smile. Luna yawned and stretched her wings.
"Tired." She said with a muffled tone.
"Not a morning pony, huh?" The guard said teasingly.
"Oh you have no idea." Luna said with a giggle. The guard returned to his post.
Luna walked back into her room, and put on her fuzzy socks. They were very fuzzy, and was a dark blue with a baby blue. Her mane was knotted too, but she didn't care, she was hungry. And she had brunch with Clarice today. She walked out her door and shut it behind her. She slowly and mopily made her way down the corridor. She looked down the flight of stairs and moaned.
She looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm getting to old for this!" Which made a guard laugh.
"What?" Luna asked in confusion.
The guard stopped laughing said, "Well you said you're getting too old for this, and your probably still a teenager, right?" Luna laughed.
"No, silly filly. I'm about over a thousand years old.
The guard looked at her with shock. She looks so young. She just giggled and made her way down the stairs. She remembered that she also had a meeting with guards to learn their names. She moaned again.
"I need sleep!" She yelled putting her head down. She then remembered she had a spell to give her 12 hours of sleep in seconds. She lit her horn and chanted some words. Before she knew it, she was alive with energy.
She trotted to the kitchen. Everypony bowed.
"I'm just here to get a late night, or afternoon snack." She said passing them.
Chef Krumps walked up to Luna and said, "Princess, ah there you are. I have made a delicious snack creation." He pointed at a plate. They were tiny sandwiches, cut like suns and moons. They had freshly cut grass, with daisy petals, cucumbers, and a toothpick going through it with a olive on the toothpick. Luna's mouth watered, as she smelled the deliciousness of his creation.
She lit her horn once again. And levitated a sandwich to her mouth. She took a bite, and savored the flavors one by one, and then all together.
"Oh, my, gosh!" Luna said as her eyes grew wider. The chef looked proud of himself.
Luna said, "Oh look over there!" She said while pointing her hoof the other way. Of course chef Krump looked that way. Luna levitated the plate of sandwiches.
All the cooks started to giggle as Luna put her hoof to her mouth and did a "shhhhh." Which made them giggle even more. There was at least 40 sandwiches stacked on that plate. She levitated the sandwiches and handed them out to each cook.
Luna went to the dining table, where she saw Celestia counting the taxes, and signing documents. Luna put her sandwiches on the table. The table was a dark polished wood, with a red piece of crushed velvet running down the center. Celestia had on some pink glasses, and was reading very softly. Luna sat down and munched on her sandwiches. Luna levitated at least six of the sandwiches over to where Celestia was sitting.
"Oh thank you Luna. Why are you up I thought you rested during the day and guarded the night." Celestia said, finally looking away from the documents.
"Well I have brunch with Clarice today, and we have the meeting with the guards too. So I used the resting spell. It gives you 12 hours of sleep in seconds. Very useful, if you ask me." Luna said with a smile. Celestia giggled.
"Yup that spell has saved me too. When you were gone, I was drowning in documents and papers." Celestia nudging her at the stack of documents she had.
"Wow." Luna said looking at the papers.
"Well I have to go have to get ready for brunch." Luna said getting up from the table.
"Okay. Oh and another thing Luna. I love you." Celestia said giving her sister a loving look. Luna flew over to Celestia and kissed her on the head.
"Love you too." Luna whispered into Celestia's ear.
Celestia nuzzled Luna, and Luna nuzzled her back. When they parted Luna waved goodbye and made her way up the stairs. She trotted into her bed chambers and quietly shut her door. She went into her bathroom and turned on the bathtub. She poured in bath beads that smelled of lavenders and a fresh waterfall. As the bath beads dissolved Luna took her bun out, and jumped into the bathtub. She washed her mane and tail. And washed her coat and face. When she finished bathing, she took a towel and rubbed herself dry.
She opened the cabinet under the sink, and grabbed a couple bottles. She squirted out one of the bottles that was to make your mane and tail smell like flowers. She squirted it into a tiny bowl and set it aside. She liked the smell of flowers but she liked to mix it with another fragrance, that she made up herself. It was like the smell of nighttime air. She took another bottle and squirted out a little more than the other one. She took a Popsicle stick and stirred the two liquids until they made one. And she put them into a perfume bottle. And sprayed herself. She like the mixture, not too strong, not too weak. If you stood next to her you could smell it.
She brushed her mane and tail. Since she was having brunch in the garden, she thought of wearing something floral. She found a cute baby blue dress. It had purple, pink, and black flowers on it. She has a little hat with a feather sticking out of it. She put on her silver shoes. And went to the other side of the room, to a jewelry box. She picked out a purple gem necklace, and blue flower shaped earrings.
She did her normal light blue eye shadow, and headed off. All the guards had their mouths wide open as Luna passed them in her little outfit.
Celestia walked up from behind her and said, "What you doin? " Luna perked up at the sound of her sister.
"I'm going to see Clarice for brunch." Luna said looking at her sister.
"Well I had the cooks set up a table in the garden.
"Really? Wow thanks that's really sweet." Luna said growing excited.
"Hey anything for my lil sis." Celestia said as she nuzzled Luna. Luna hugged her and trotted off to the garden to find Clarice sitting with excitement.
"Hello Clarice." Luna said as she walked up.
"Wow Princess you look amazing!" Clarice said as she studied Luna's look.
"Awwww, thank you. And as I say you look gorgeous too."
Clarice was wearing a pink dress with yellow flowers in her hair. She was also wearing a pink hat, that also had yellow flowers on it.
"Thank you Princess." Clarice said.
"So how does it feel? " Clarice said looking down at her tea.
"How does what feel?" Luna said looking at the unicorn.
"To be back, you know home. Must be awesome! I mean ponies bow at you. And serve you, and clean for you." Clarice said waving her hoof in the air.
"Well, it's great to be back but. I really don't like it when others bow to me, it makes me feel better than other ponies. And yes being served is nice but with my magic, I can easily pop up food when I please. But I don't like too. It takes a lot out of you to preform that spell. And I can also clean too but I don't know having ponies is really nice too." Finished Luna.
As they sipped their tea, they kept talking about normal things like, work, family, and friends. Luna would tell Clarice stories about how her and Celestia were so immature back then. And star swirl was their friend. She kept out Discord, knowing it would make her cry to even think about him. When their brunch was over Clarice waved goodbye, and Luna did too. Luna went to walk in the garden, since she was already there. She kept walking and saw a familiar figure. It was Moonbeam. He was with that Terry guy.
Luna approached them, and said hello.
"Oh hey lulu." Moonbeam said as he hugged his marefriend.
"Hello Princess." He said as he saluted to her. She rolled her eyes.
"Please, just call me Luna." She said as she held out her hoof for him to shake. Terry looked in embarrassment, and shook her hoof. When they finished talking, Terry left and Moonbeam and Luna walked back to the castle.
"So when is the ball? " Moonbeam asked as they walked through the corridor.
"It's next week, on a Tuesday." Luna said as she turned the corner, hugging close to Moonbeam.
"Well d-do you wanna g-g-go to the, to the ball with m-me?" Moonbeam asked face flushed a dark pink.
"O-of course." Luna whispered. As she leaned on Moonbeam's chest. Moonbeam wing-hugged her. And she gave him a peck on the cheek, and then went into her bed chambers. She leaned against her door as she sighed happily not wanting to stop the feeling of her heart soaring in the sky like a eagle. She couldn't wait for the guard meeting.
But she really couldn't wait for the party.
Author's Note
I used the song "Do you wanna see the moon rise?" In here caused thought it would be perfect for this part.
And I used lullaby for a Princess Luna's reply. Because it was perfect too. Enjoy this chapter, I loved making it.
