Luna glared at the guards blocking her path. She had just been trying to go to the library to read a book but the guards wouldn't even let her out of her room.

"Princess Luna," the guard to her right, "Queen Galaxia order that we not allow you out of bed much less your room."

"And I say you must let me out," ordered Luna. Being on bed rest for the last five days made her antsy. Luna's ears involuntarily twitched as she heard her mothers light hoof steps. Just as Luna thought, her mother appeared around the corner.

"Guards you are dismissed," Queen Galaxia said as she entered Luna's room. Galaxia shut Luna's door staring down at her youngest foal. "Luna you should be resting," Galaxia said gently.

"No thanks! I've been on bed rest for the last five days mother," Luna objected stomping her hoof softly.

"What's made you such a fussy filly today?" Galaxia cooed making Luna blush.

"I'm not a filly mother, I'm a grown mare and I'm certainly not fussy," Luna protested as her mother picked her up with telekinesis. "Put me down," Luna demanded.

"Okay," Galaxia said plopping Luna down onto the bed. Luna glared up at her mother and tried to squirm off the bed. "Luna, I think it be best if you had a nap," Galaxia said gently running her wing down Luna's back.

"No way," Luna complained, "naps are for foals mother."

"If you take your nap like a good filly I'm sure there can be some rewards for it," Galaxia offered.

"Like what?" Luna asked ignoring the 'good filly' part. She was a bit tired now that she thought about it ,and the thought of rewards made her more willing to agree.

"How does dessert sound?" Galaxia asked seeing the tiredness in Luna's eyes, "If you stop fussing about a nap I'll even make sure they have some sopapillas." Luna's head bobbed up and down at the mention of sopapillas. Galaxia pulled the blanket back and motioned Luna to lay down. Luna followed her instructions laying down on her side. Galaxia smiled softly kissing Luna's forehead as she tucked her in.

"Night little moon," Galaxia said nuzzling Luna.

"Night night," Luna said her eyes closing only to open again as something pressed against her chest. She looked down squealing at what she saw. It was her old stuffed animal from when she was a filly. Luna pulled it tight against her looking up to thank her mother only to see she was gone. Luna sighed contently, feeling cozy and snug in the blankets.
