It was daytime in the land of Equestria. Ponie were out enjoying the sunshine, basking in Princess Celestia's radiant summer sun, while the Princess of The Night stayed in the confines of the castle, as she always did during her sister's summer daytime rule.
Counting down the hours, looking at the minutes passing by on the clock over her queen mattress moon style bed, she was patient, and usually at times like these when patience wore thin, she'd bust out with her gaming system. "Ah, there it is." Princess Luna had dug into her closet to find her HayStation4, for times called for action!
"Now, what to play, what to play," she pondered, looking over her library of popular HayStation games that the game store in Las Pegasus could provide her with. Seeing as though Canterlot is way to snobbish for such gaming contraptions. Princess Luna always closed the curtains, covering the room in a blanket of darkness, as this was a natural and much needed setting for her free time for gaming. Looking over the titles she had, that ranged from Uncharted, Final Fantasy, Mirror's Edge, The Trotting Dead Game Series -- "Huzzah! Call Of Cutie! Our favorite!" Princess Luna exclaimed, feeling the bite of competitiveness nip at her emotions this early on.
With her magic, she sets the disc into the console, whilst grabbing a pair of personally decorated headset, a bag of chips and an energy drink. Already, she plastered on her game face, as the screen lit up with the main menu and the awesome sounds of gunfire and occassional rock music can be heard -- at least in her mind there is.
"Prepare thy selves for we will send thee hind quarters back to tartarus!" Princess Luna's war cry was always thunderous and by now the whole castle could have heard it. One of the maids outside heard the commotion as she galloped past the Princess' doors with a surprised 'eep!'.
Princess Luna had her hooves full trying to conquer the likes of an army with a batallion of newbies, feeling the tension arise, "MOVE, MOVE! DON'T GET IT -- FFFFUUUUUU!" the royal canterlot voice was main stay during gaming hours like today.
Princess Celestia on the other hoof, took notice of her sisters actions. Shaking her head with an amused smile, she glanced at the clock to notice the hands of time would soon strike 6:00 p.m.. Making her way to her sister's living quarters, walking in a regal manner, she lightly tapped on her sister's door, "Ahem. Dear sister? It's tiiiime~" Celestia politely called out.
Princess Luna's ears perked, pausing mid game, looking at the clock above, seeing that it was indeed time. "HUZZAH!" she exclaimed excitedly but soon gained her composure, quitting the current game she was playing with equal frustration and exhaustion after so many near rage quit inducing moments.
"I am not a 'son-of-a-female-equines-pooch' you little..." she muttered under her breath, fixing her crown that laid on her head, opening the doors of her living quarters with a quick motion.
"Hello, my sister." Celestia welcomed her little sister, as they walked down the halls leading outside. "Hello to you too, my sister." Luna greeted back, with a light bow as they both walked in tow with regal poise.
Princess Celestia lowered her sun as expected and Princess Luna made way for the bright moon that the night sky called it's sun. "Would you like any help putting up the stars today, Luna?" Celestia asked, but knowing full well that after one of Luna's 'game nights', her sister had the adrenaline to put up an entire solar system of stars -- or defeat an entire digital army.
Princess Luna scoffed, "There is no need my dear sister. We will certainly be able to handle it." as Princess Luna uses all the forces in her might to bring about the little nighttime twinkles that line up the sky, not even breaking a sweat.
"It is as easy as that." Princess Luna replied. Princess Celestia looked on, not impressed but amused all the same, smiling at the cockiness of her little sister. "Such cockiness I would expect from one of Twilight's friends, a Ms... Rainbow Dash, it is." Celestia stifled a giggle, earning a quick blush and scowl from the younger alicorn sister.
"As appealing as it is being defined by that pegasus, I'd like to remind you of how similar an, what's the word?... an 'egghead' you used to be back in your early years," Luna merely stuck her tongue out in a playful manner as Celestia bumped her rump against her sister in playful retaliation.
Princess Luna giggled. Looking out at the night sky she so loved to make. "Sister?" Princess Celestia paused in her walk through the hall to settle beside her little sister as they stared out at the moon. "What is it, little sister?" Celestia asked in a soft tone that only she could represent.
Princess Luna looked far off, pondering the question she would ask, "How is your flying this night? Are you... up for a midnight flight?" Luna extended her wings in all it's glory. Celestia merely smiled, adjusting her pose, extending her larger than life wings to full extent, "I hope you can keep up." Celestia teased with a small smirk that could brighten any room or mood.
Princess Luna merely scoffed in an amused fashion, "Now who's being the cocky one here," she barely had time to retort her full sentance before The Princess of The Day leapt off the balcony, eliciting a giggle after seeing the childish pouted look of her little sister, cheating in their own little game of flight amongst the stars.
