Night Two: Siblings Fight.

Brightshine was still in shock as the princess left him. He had actually meet one of the most beautiful and powerful beings in all of Equestria. He made his way downhill and made his final rounds for evening. At about 6 am. He called it night or his case a day. He made sure his house was light proof ever since he started this job. The only problem he ever had was when the door to door sell men wanted to sell him something. Which is why he made sign that reads “do not disturb or I will bite you.” And well he has bitten a sell men before for waking him up.

Usually he woke up around 5 or 6 clock in evening. He did not have many friends per say so most of his free time was spent indoors playing video games and watching TV. This did not mean he had no friends it’s just the friends he did have usually worked at night as he did.

Like his DJ friend Vinyl Scratch. They were childhood friends. They grew up around each other. She was a lot of fun to hang out with. But, she was now a famous DJ even in some of the highbrow circles. So they only hung out once in a blue moon went she had time. Which was fine with him to be truthful he liked having a lot of quiet time. He was a bit of shut in even as kid he liked being at home and just chilling.

He wasted the day goofing off as usually. When it hit about 11 pm he got his trusty flashlight and headed out for the evening. It was same as every night. Ponies were in their homes reading to their little ones and laying them down for bed. Only a few ponies came out at night and usually it was just to go to a party or an event or they were coming back from one.

As came around to midnight he thought about the princess he wondered if she would actually be there. He was tempted to just shrug it off but, if she really was there he didn’t want to be rude and not show up. He once again made his way to the outskirt of the city.

He marched himself up the hill again and to his surprise the princess was actually there. He wondered if she came here every night and he just never noticed her. As he watched her she seemed to be a bit of mood or well it seemed to look that way. She was pacing back and forward muttering to herself loudly.

“She never….. I never…..GRRR!” She muttered.

“Umm princess are you alright?” He said sitting on grass as he watched her pace back and forth.

“Of course I am fine. A princess is always fine.” She said in annoyed tone of as she paced more in front of him.

“Are you sure princess?” He asked her.

“YES!” She shouted at him. His ear bent down behind his head as he looked at her gulping at bit. She was pretty scary went she wanted to be.

“Ooo…I am so sorry forgive my rudeness it just been….a long night.” She said sitting down at the edge of the cliff. Brightshine got up and sat down next to her.

“What wrong princess?” He asked calmly.

“No…this not right. A princess shouldn't be telling her problems to commoner it should be the other way around.” She said hanging her head down a bit.

“Ooo come on. Everyone need help sometimes even a princess. You’re still a pony at the end of the day. So come on what is wrong princess?” He said with a smile.

She looked up at with a small smile as she sighed again. “Well it just…I had fight with my older sister….again.” She said looking up at the sky.

“You mean…Celestia?” He asked

“Yes Celestia. I simply asked if night could just be tad longer. Not even that long and she got upset with me. We argued back and forth. I kind of stormed out in the middle of it. I mean when I asked her that she looked at me with such fear like I was going to turn into nightmare moon right in front of her.” He said as she hung her head a bit laying down on grass with sadness in her eyes.

The stallion was lost in thought for a minute. She was nightmare moon for quite a bit and she was banished. He knew it must have been hard on her. Most ponies ran in fear from her. He was not someone to judge a person by rumors. To him she was really nice. He just smiled.

“But, I know you are not like that. Listen I know she can seem overbearing and maybe even judgmental. But, she does care you. Sister are supposed to fight that your job as sisters. She just want you to be happy and safe.” He said happily to her.

“…I suppose you are right. Do you have any siblings?” She asked him.

“Nah, I’m only a child kind of come from a broken home ya know.” He said rubbing the back of his head with his right hoof.

“I am…sorry for asking.” She said.

“Nah you are fine princess. How could you know?” He asked.

“I suppose so….do you think I should go back to her? I don't know I think she is going to be mad at me for storming out like that.” She said sadly.

“She is Celestia and she is your sister. I know she care so much about you. She just going to be happy your home and safe.” He replied.

“But, what do I say to her? I am not good at talking to her. I done so many things to her with my foolish ways.” She stated

“Well my mother said that the best way to make amends is to start with three simple words. I am sorry.” He said happily.

“Can it really be that simple?” She asked.

“Well it is start at least. It’s hard to earn someone's trust back but, I know you can do it. You're the princess of the night. You can do anything, put your mind too.” He said happily throwing his hooves into air.

She giggled at him which just made him smile. He was kind he could cheer her up. He liked helping her. Truth of the matter he was sucker for a mare who was sad. He enjoyed cheering people up when they were down or hurt.
“You really are strange stallion. I think I will talk to my sister. She probably really worried about me. Do you mind if we cut our meeting a bit short tonight?” She asked him.

“Of course Princess. Good talk to your sister.” He said with another smile to her.

“Would you mind just calling me….Luna?” She asked.

“S….Sure. I don't mind Luna. You do have pretty name ya know.” He said with chuckle.

Luna blushed a bit as she cleared her throat. “Yes well…..I have to be going now. Don’t want to make her anymore worry then she already is. I will be here again tomorrow so please come back. I love these talks.” She said as he lifted off the ground and wave goodbye as flew off into night sky.
