A Diplomatic Proposal

Canterlot

Throne room

It was slightly an hour after noon and Celestia was sitting in high her throne reading the royal document that would be given to Parliament to make into law if deemed acceptable. She had just crossed out a paragraph when her sister had came into the room. Luna had a stern look across her face as she walked down the long throne room till she stopped at the steps.

"Sister, may I speak with you in private?" Luna asked taking a slight glance towards the white unicorn guards in gold clad armor that guarded the steps to the throne, before fixating back on her sister.

Celestia put down the document to her side and nodded agreeing with her sister. "Very well" she sad calmly as she stood up and stretched her wings which radiated with glorious power, before stepping down from the throne. "Will you excuse us?" she asked towards her guards. They bowed their heads before they both marched out of the throne room leaving the two of them alone.

Celestia looked to her sister and studied her face "What troubles you dear sister?, you don't usually wake up for another hour or so" she stated with elegance raising an eyebrow towards her sister.

"Its something I don't understand, sister. I am sure it might be nothing yet, I fear that it may become a problem later on" Luna confessed unconfidently to her sister.

Celestia saw the mixed emotion of both worry and doubt in her younger sister's eyes. "Sister, what ever it may be we will conquer it together" she cooed warmly as her wing wrapped around her sister for an embrace. She pulled back after a minute to listen to her sister's issue.

"Sister, while I was doing my nightly dream watching a few days ago I picked up on something peculiar. There was one dream that was filled with this cold ghastly fog. No matter how far I traveled in this dream, I could not find the pony that made up the dream. Having the pony wake up, before I was able to meet with him or her. However, until recently I found somepony that called back to me for once. I was so close on helping him with his dream, or at least I was until I felt something move around in the fog" Luna explained as she looked down for a moment and shudder from remembering the cold dark experience.

"This feeling was nothing I have had ever felt like before, like I was not alone in the fog. I felt like some thing was watching me, I cant prove it yet, however I feel that something is latching on to this pony's dream" she finished feeling like a great burden was lifted off her.

This left Celestia in a state of impenetrable thought, as she analyze every bit of information that her sister gave her. "This is something we should keep an eye on, if there is something that is attracted to this specific pony. Then who to say that this could end up becoming something of a greater threat later on" Celestia expressed her opinion to her sister. "However for right now, perhaps you could help me?" she inquired raising an eyebrow to her sister.

"And what may be the problem?" Luna asked with light curiosity and caution, not wanting to get stuck with the nobles for two hours like last time. Celestia giggled as she motioned her sister to follow her. She then followed her sister out of the throne room and into the castle's hidden garden. "Sister, what reason did we leave to come here?" Luna inquired confused on why they had to leave the throne room.

Celestia let out a deep breath before turning to her sister, "For a change of scenery sister, I had been in the throne room a little longer than I would like. Now Luna, I would like to inform you that I will be gone next month, I am heading to Prance and Germane to discus some diplomatic treaties. I wont be able to raise the sun, nor will I be able to plan for this year's Grand Galloping Gala and I was hoping that you could run the event while I am gone next month" Celestia informed her sister leaving a slight shock on her face.

"Tia, surely there is somepony else that is capable of handling the responsibility of planning the Gala. I know I made it clear that I wanted to do more for Equestria, but I'm not ready for such a task" Luna replied looking frantic.

"Well, I suppose I could give the task to Blueblood" Celestia suggested rubbing her chin with her fore hoof.

"Sister, are you sure you want to give the task to Blueblood. I mean nothing against him, its just that he's a little..." Luna started before being interrupted by Celestia.

"A little rude, Luna?" Celestia inquired with a smirk.

"I was going to say something more like uncouth, but that works too" Luna replied getting a little chuckle from her sister. "That does bring up the question, why do you purpose him to plan and run the Gala sister?" Luna inquired not sure what good could come from him.

"Well as I do agree he is impolite at times, he means well none the less. Consider this as a test to see if he is capable of doing tasks for Equestria. If everything goes correctly then we can count on him being officially in charge of planning and running the Gala by himself" Celestia explained her clever plan.

"Well I think It wouldn't be a bad idea sister, and I guess I could lend him a hoof if he needs one" Luna stated as she and her sister left the garden to return back inside. "Well sister, I guess it is time for us to part ways. I will see you later, and thank you for your time" Luna stated as she hugged her sister and turned to leave.

"Oh before you go Lulu, there is something I forgot to mention" Celestia replied getting her sister's attention. "I schedule you to meet with the nobles later to listen to their problems, farewell sister" she said with a smirk before trotting off quickly, before her sister could complain.

Two hours later

Luna sat upon the throne deep in thought on how she was going to get back at her sister, for ditching the nobles on her. She thought about it all night, even as the nobles complained about their problems and suggested how the Princesses could solve it.

After some time and after the nobles, left everything grew silent as night engulfed all of Equestria; sending all but a few to sleep. There Luna focused watching over her kingdom through their dreams, hunting for nightmares that haunt her citizens. All while keeping an eye out for the mysterious pony's, weird dream hoping to find the answer on what had latched onto the pony's dreams
