After eating some very yummy pancakes (according to Luna, Celestia tried one, but she hated it), Luna went back to her room. "Tia, will you read me a story?"

"Sure, Luna. Which story do you want?"

"Surprise me!"

Celestia thought a minute. She went over to the bookshelf, shut her eyes, and selected a random book with her magic. She opened her eyes, looking to see which book she selected.

"How about," Celestia looks at the cover. "The Tree Princess?"

Luna had never read the story. "Okay!"

Celestia sat down on the floor, Luna sitting across from her.

"Okay," Celestia cleared her throat.

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful autumn forest,"

She checked to see if Luna was listening. And sure enough, she was. "Keep reading, Tia!"

"In that forest, there was a tree. However, that tree had been around for 10,000 years. So had the rest of the forest. But that forest was important to the village nearby. It was their only source of oxygen."

Luna held her hooves over her mouth. "Oh no!"

"But, one day, a mysterious pony, name unknown, took a stroll through the forest. However, she would drag her hoof across all of the nature. And, magically, all of it was healed."

Luna grinned. "Yay! Cool story!"

"It's not over yet, Luna," Celestia told her.

"The mysterious pony then set up a tent in the middle of the forest, next to the tree. It was like that for 100 years until the pony died. But, rumor has it, the pony's spirit went on to the tree, keeping the forest healthy to this day."

"Wow," Luna thought that was amazing.

"Now, what else do you want to do?"

"I wanna go outside!"
