"Greetings I have come to help Thy subject!."
"That's wonderful, but I'm surprised that Princess Celestia agreed on adopting this Mare!?" The Matron pony said hugging her softly with her front hooves.
"What is this problem with WISH GRANTER?" asked the Princess wanting more information.
"Over the years, I've been trying to get the ponies to adopt Wish Granter, since she came to me as a little filly."
"But sadly this Orphanage, is getting knocked down and the other ponies who, use to work here moved to find better jobs."
"ONLY YOU STAYED, WHY?!"
"I couldn't leave Wish Granter alone, she has Nopony else to care for her!" The Matron pony spoke firmly to Luna.
"Which is why, I sent a letter to you Princess asking to help Wish Granter!"
"I can't adopt Wish Granter myself, our duties as Matron ponies are to care for fillys and find them loving homes."
"Wish Granter is a young mare and she can't stay here anymore, I must leave to find work to feed my family." The Matron bowed her head in sorrow and shame.
"When you take her away from this Pony Orphanage, I'm worried, she'll be in that empty Canterlot Castle by herself."
"EVERYPONY BELONGS SOMEWHERE, AND THOU WILL STAY WITH HER FOREVER!"
"But Princess...you have the whole of Equstria and the night to think about!"
"Matron, show me where Wish Granter might be, I'm not leaving her alone!" Princess Luna spoke in a calm but demanding tone.
Her horn started to glow a Moderate cobalt blue and light violet, as she opened the door and went in.
Princess Luna closed the door, she didn't want the Matron pony secretly listening to there conversation.
She then used a levitation spell pulling the young unicorn mare off the windowsill and straight towards her.
"You are Wish Granter!" Princess Luna held both of her hooves out wide in a gesture of motherly love.
The burly unicorn only nodded her head, before turning her gaze back towards the window, looking up at the stars and moon.
Princess Luna needed to get Wish Granter's attention, but how?
"Moonlight,moonlight."
"Fireflies awake."
"Make a wish."
"And do A little shake!"
Wish Granter slowly joined in with Lunar doing her own tail shake.
Princess Luna made a mental note to say thank you to her niece-in law Twilight Sparkle and adoptive niece Princess Cadance for the inspiration, when they next spoke.
"No,hiding your true self from me Wish Granter." Princess Lunar lowered her voice.
The Unicorn blinked her eyes in surprise, used her horn to change her appearance back to an Alicorn princess.
"It's okay to be frightened of me." she said without speaking any words.
Her icy controlled quietness and attractiveness were both breathtaking and mysterious that Princess Luna couldn't move.
"WHY WOULD THOU THINK THY IS FRIGHTEN OF YOU?"
"Is their more like us, living in Equstria?"The mysterious Alicorn asked Luna.
"You Are Not Alone, if thou is willing to live with me in Canterlot Castle, I'll show thee?
"Princess Celestia,I bring you great news come thy Sister!"
"Lulu, it's 12 at night, can't this wait until the morning?" Princess Celestia yawned loudly.
"NO, IT'S IMPORTANT!" Princess Luna said, her feelings hurt because of her older sister yet again.
Then Lulu teleported herself and Wish-Granter towards Princess Celestia's royal bedroom,before she could get into bed again.
"Why have you brought her into my chambers with you?" Celestia said pointing her horn at Wish Granter, who hide behind Lunar's mane in panic.
"That was rude, SISTER I have a small request!"
"And what request would that be?"
"I would like you to let me,raise this mare as my Step-Daugter!"
"Do you think that would be possible, giving your duties of the Nigth?"
My duties are non of your concern, Sister dear!" Princess Lunar growled at her.
Princess Celestia looked towards Wish Granter before speaking to her younger sister.
"You may keep her!"
"But...she must have a guard with her at all times at Night or Day!" Celestia said with a sigh.
The following day, Princess Luna and Princess Twilight Sparkle both became aware that Celestia was crying.
"WHAT HAPPENED SISTER?, WHY ARE YOU CRYING TEARS OF SADNESS!"
"Luna, my beloved Sister,these are tears of joy not sadness!"
"Luna, please do not use your canterlot voice again!"
"You might scare Wish Granter." Princess Celestia whispered to her youngest Sister in an annoying tone.
"We fear that Wish Granter thinks that everypony can live by themselves, and not depend on anypony else..."
"Oh, It breaks my heart seeing her in this state, is their anything we can do?" Twilight said wipeing her tears away.
"That's calling the kettle black." Spike mumbled to himself.
"And I thought Twilight was the master at being friendless" Spike said smugly at the lavendar Princess.
Twiligh sighed "I use to be friendless, Spike and Wish Granter doesn't need to be!"
"I made a Pinky Promise to Fleur Mistral and Silver Song, her parents, that if they disappeared after she was born."
"I was tasked in finding Wish Granter the perfect family to raise her, but sadly she went missing before I could rearrange anything."
"But now my younger sister, has found her she'd been living in an Orphanage."
"I've fauiled her once, I won't do it again!" Princess Celestia spoke with promise and determination in her voice.
"But I thought Princess Furry Heart was the last alicorn in Equstria!?" Twilight spoke in amazement and shock.
"My sister and I are born before the formation of Equestria. "How many births do you think we witnessed in our youth?"
" Princess, I'm not sure a few maybe?"
"ANOTHER Alicorn of what... She's the 6th Princess of Equstria and yet no-pony knew of her existence or what she can do?!" Spike stated to everypony in the room.
"SPIKE, sorry Princess." Twilight shouted at him crossly and expressed her regret for something that Spike had done wrong.
"But Spike did make a valid point, Celestia what is her title?"
"Come on...I'm standing right here, Twilight!" Spike was jumping up and down in a tantrum.
Everypony ignored the little purple dragon, he then said something about setting Twilight's Smartypants doll on fire with his flames, when he got back to ponyvillie.
"I know, first hoove the struggles and sense of purpose that comes with being a Princess, I would love to offer my personal assistance in anyway I can!"
"That would be most helpful Twilight, thank you!" Celestia was beaming with pride.
"Wish Granter's time is coming soon, she'll play her part as a princess too!" Luna said with a knowing smile.
"Make sure, your friends come back to vist, so they can meet Princess Wish Granter as well." Celestia suggested to her formal faithful student sweetly.
"I won't let you or Wish Granter down, Princess!"
"From now on, she'll be LOVED here in Equestria!" Luna said before leaving her Older Sister, Twilight and Spike for bed.
~*~*~*
Wish Granter awoke and viewed her surroundings very carefully, it was mid-day, she had slept half the day away again.
She looked toward the doorway and saw a dark-blue alicorn Princess who wore an ancient regalia that seemed to have exaggerated detail of the moon, standing before her smiling.
"Thy is pleased you are awake at last, little one!" She spoke in a very funny manner.
"My name is Princess Luna and My older Sister has decided that starting today, you will be enrolled into Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns.
"At Night you will become thy student and I'll become thy Teacher from this day forth!"
"You will take thy sister's classes during the Day and raise the stars during thy Night!"
"We think you have potential to be greater than us someday!"
"Who are Magic Nutmeg, Lily Spark and Paradise Heart?" she heared thy names from Commander Solarflare, a Solar
Guard Pegasus assigned to protect Wish Granter during Celestia's day.
Princess Luna felt jealous and feared that these ponies might take Princess Wish Granter away from her.
Luna needed to see Wish Granter interact with these ponies.
She needed order and restraint, she could feel her temper flaring up inside and struggling with the darkness inside of her.
Luna's eyes had turned into thin-slitted pupils and luna could feel her teeth starting to emerge into fangs.
"Wait for thy moment NightMare Moon, you'll get to meet her soon!"
Their was knocking at her door, followed by a voice distracting her dark thoughts.
"Princess, are you okay?" The Captain Of The Lunar Guard said.
"Ah, Captain Vladimir Vespertilio, you may enter thy room." Princess Lunar said.
"I have a favor to ask thee, Wish Granter requires a Night Guard, would you Guard her?"
"When a guard is given an order by the Princess they follow it, it's simple protocol." Vladimir said bowing his head to her.
"Captain, that is all I ask of you!" Lunar said dismissing him from her royal chambers with a wave of her hoove.
Princess Wish Granter returned to Canterlot Castle, exhausted from her studies.
Being the only Alicorn Princess in her class no-pony wanted to befriend Wish Granter and bulled and attacked her. They been calling her "The Princess of Blank Flanks and saying Wish Granter did'nt deserved to be adopted by Princess Luna."
She was leaving Magic School early this year, and she wanted to make at least one new friend before leaving to Celestia knows where.
Wish Granter was required each day to sleep an hour, every lunch-time to recharge herself, so as to help Princess Lunar with the Night by raising the stars.
"Good-night Wish Granter, I'm off to bed have a nice Night with Lulu, and I'll see you in the Morining." Princess Celestia nuzzled Wish Granter on the cheek before walking down the hallway.
Princess Wish Granter was then welcomed by a big booming voice, which could only belong to The Princess of The Night and Step-mother, Princess Luna herself.
"Greetings, dear Granter how happy thou is at thy safe return home!"
"Come, thy has somepony we would like to introduce thou to!" Luna talked excitedly about this new arrangement.
Wish Granter followed Princess Luna around the castle, not knowing whom this pony was and where she was going.
Being unfamiliar with Canterlot Castle, Wish Granter can easily get herself lost with the never-ending hallways and rooms inside her new home.
"Do what you were called to do and guard your calling!" said a burley unicorn next to Princess Luna.
"So he's my other Guard interesting!"
"What's thy name, bat-pony?"
"Living in a new castle needs guards."
"I've noticed how you never have any royal guards, so this seemed like a natural move."
"The eyesore of thy castle is just so big and how lonely you must feel."
"Amor atque vale, forget thy past my dear Wish Granter!"
