Love is War

Next morning Luna, waited for Celastia at the diner room, when the door finally open, she rush up to Celestia. “Sister I have something to tell you, it’s about last night!” “Luna, I don’t want to hear it, I have enough on my mind as it is.” Celestia walk pass Luna to her seat. Luna follows behind. “But sister this is important!” “Like you told me at my bed room door.” “But I’m not lying this time, I promise.” “Like you promised me at my bed room door.” Celestia sit down. “This time it’s different!” “Luna I really don’t want to hear it! Now please, return to your seat, or leave.” Celestia did not even look at her sister the hold time, instead she start to order breakfast. “FINE!” Luna storm off. ‘I’ll handle this myself, I don’t need Celestia help.’
Later that night after raising the moon, she set off for the Everfree forest landing in front of the old castle. “Flora!” She calls, while walking through the castle. “Flora!” She head to her sister’s old chamber were she first saw her. “Flora!” No answer, just silent. Luan walks throughout the castle, no sign of Flora. She walks out to the back, looking over the once to been garden, leading up to the moon; she glaze upon the stolen light it reflect, to a glowing a shine on these darkish hours. “It’s beautiful.” Spoke a mystery but familiar voice beside her. “Yes it is, I wish other could see and understand th-AWWWWW! Luna screams while jumping from the side in three feet, manga to actually stay in the air for a couple of second before coming down. “What! Where! How!” Luna stammers. “What wrong Luna?” Flora generally concern. “How did you get so close without me notice it, a-and I been calling you, where have you been?!” Luna questions in a hasty pace. “I did not know we were meeting?” “Will…No but I been calling you.” Luna spoke still a little frantic, but more or less in her normal tone, while calming down. “Sorry.” Flora says in a faint smile and apologies eyes. “It’s…al-alright, I’m not really upset.” Those eyes of Flora, Luna could not but lose her anger in those eyes, as she blushes.

“S-So what have you been doing since we last meet?” Luna trying to stick to what she came here to do, and that is to ‘question her, to gain more information on her, and to do that, I must get her to talk.’ “Nothing much, I work on evolving plants, growing new ones, nothing much, you?” Flora somehow manages to get closer, leaning in without Luna noticing until it already happen. “I-I-I tuck a nap, then sit the moon, at-.” As her memory came back with her sister. “Is something wrong?” “NOTHING!” Flora flinch back, eyes watering up, Luna realize what her action had done, and calm herself down. “I mean, nothing is wrong, thank you for asking.” Flora reaches in closer to Luna. “If you want someone to talk to, I will lend an ear.” Flora look Luna right in the eyes, with a smile. Luna could not help but feel calm and safe staring back in to those eyes. “It’s just…my sister…She can be so cruel, and I understand… Never mind, you wouldn’t understand.” Luna looks away. “I’m very understandable.” “No you want.” Luna voice climbs a little. “You remember earlier?” “What?” Luna turns to face Flora, who is looking up at the moon. “Early when you first spoke to me today; I said the moon is beautiful and you said yeah, if only other could see that. That what you was going to say, right?” Flora spoke, still looking at the moon. “Yes what about it?” “What did you mean by that?” Luna gazing at Flora; who body sings of beauty, and eyes of heavily greenery. Flora turn to Luna in the delay of an answer, Flora woke from her daze. “I-I meant that, I just wish more pony could appreciate the night sky.” Flore look back at the night sky. “Who wouldn’t, it’s a glow of beauty, for the eyes can gaze upon.” “All they can see is the bringer of darkness, were evil come out to play, they sleep it away, hoping the time will go by faster even in their dreams.” Luna looking down now, even knows her eyes are fixes on a spot in the dirt floor, she all together seeing a different image. Flora stares sadly upon Luna. “Follow me.” Luna broke from her thought, her head shoot up to see Flora standing in a direction looking back at her. “Huh?” “I want to show you something.” “What?” “There are things that can’t be put into words to descript, it have to be seen.” Flora starts to walk, Luna standing their watching Flora get father, and father away. “Hu wait!” Luna ran toward the brown coat green mane alicorn, catching up, she fell in a few feet behind her.
They walk deeper into the forest, Luna feeling the hairs on her back stand. ‘Even know I use to live and play in these forests, but that was around the castle and it would be day light time, Celestia never let me stay outside to late, even when I started to will the moon.’ Flora stop, causing Luna to crash in to her, she stay like that for a while, blushing and to captive by Flora eyes, and other feature. “Come and look.” Luna snaps out of it, separate from Flora back side. Luna walks next to Flora, looking toward her the while. When she came face to face to Flora, she gesture to look straight with her head. Luna turn her head, what she sees can’t be put into words. The strange, beautiful, flower and other plant life she ever seen. Moonlight bounce off the surface of everything, giving it a blue light glow. Luna takes a few step forward. “W-what is this?” “You like it?” Flora takes a few step to be staying side by side with Luna “I never seen anything like this. What type of flower are these?” Flora walks deeper into the area “Their flowers that only bloom under the moon light.” Flora reach a clearing in the middle of the scene, and lay down, patting the grass ground next to her for Luna to come over. “I heard such flower, but I never seen them.” Luna walks to Flora side, and lay next to her. “Look up.” Luna did as Flora said, and what she saw was an ocean of stars, the moon as the light house. Luna amaze by this, even know she the one that brought the sky and the stars in the clear night sky, she is amaze by this, even know she pay close attention to the night sky more than any other pony every night, she is a maze by this. “It’s thanks to your moon that these flower can bloom, these flower are more thin grateful.” Luna looks around, seeing the flower dance in the wind, and bath in the moon light reflection, making the glow a bluish color. They stay like that, Luna snugging close to Flora out of instinct to stay warm and more, her eyes grow heavier, and heavier, until they close, drifting off.

Next morning Flora walks up to Luna with fruit in a makeshift basket of leaves. She snugs Luna on the side of her face. “Luna, wake up.” “Huh, what, ‘yawn’ what is it?” Luna looks up to Flora. “Here I brought you some food.” “O thanks you.” Luna starts to eat.” She looks around notice that the flowers are close “What happen to the flower?” “They budded back up in sun light.” “O so-” “That right, they only bloom in the moon light.” “So they’re only for my night, to eye.” Then she looks around seeing that everything is brighter, hesitate at first, she look up, to see what she fear, the sun. “WHAT, HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN OUT!” “It’s noon.” “Why did you not wake me!” Flore back up a little in fear. “I was about to, but then I saw the moon lower itself, and you were sleeping peacefully.” “O no, no, no, no. I have to go!” “…O okay, bye.” Flora adios Luna with wan eyes and a downcast smile, but Luna did not notice this, as she was about to take off, but turn around. “I would like to meet with you again, to night if that is okay.” “Yes of course.” “In front of the castle the, I’ll see you then.” With that, Luna takes to the sky, flying as fast as she could, reaching the castle in a couple of minutes.

She land in the garden, when a guard came running toward her. “Princess Luna, Princess Celestia said if you are seen on the Castle ground, to tell you to go to her office.” “Very well.” Luna reaches Celestia office and knocks. “Sister it’s me.” “Come in.” Luna walks in side, seeing her sister working non-stop. “Sister, about last night, I can exp-” “What!” Celestia cut her sister out, in a cold flat tone. “Will, I was out in the Everfree Forest, investigating a pony claiming to be a Alicorn and the forest its self.” “Luna, it’s it not enough that you did not do your duty, but you have to lie to me.” “No sister, I speak the truth.” Luna spoke with desperation. “Like you always do.” Celestia spoke, never looking up from her work. “This time I mean it!” “Then what about the moon, surely you could have stop a second to lower it?” “Will I…” “You what “I feel a sleep during my investigation.” “I see.” Celestia says nothing more, the silent spoke for her. “I’m sorry…” Luna said holding back tears. “When I saw the moon still up, do you know what the first thing that came to mind?” Celestia spoke still working. “…No” Luna reply hesitantly, her voice cracking. “I though, shit, that selfish sister of my, most have converted back to nightmare moon again. Why would she do that, O that right, it’s because she only thinks about herself, never of other. Especially not her older sister; who had raised her when our parents banned us, and still watch over her for her wellbeing.” “That is not true!” Luna shouts, with tears running down her eyes, and her voice cracking. “I love you Celestia, I know all you done for me, I appreciate you more than my moon itself.” “That’s funny, all that you say falls on deaf ears, as I clearly remember you trying to kill me.” “You promise to never bring that up!” Luna shouts now with anger. There was silent for a few second as only the quill to the parchment made noise. “You know Luna, if I wanted to; I could have kill you easily. But I love you too much, even now, my love for you have not change, even now Luna, EVEN NOW LUNA, YOU CAUSE ME GREAT PAIN, ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!” Celesia raise her voice in the middle of her talking, losing control of her magic and emotion; causing her to break the quill in her magic grip. “I’m sorry.” Luna spoke, almost in a whisper. “I know Luna, you can go, I’m sorry for raising my voice, I just get a little upset; but it’s okay, because you’re sorry, just like all the time, sorry. Will then, all is good baby sister; you can go and goof off all you want. And then come back and say those word as again, I’m sorry right, and everything will be okay.” Luna starts to sob then cry, she teleport to her chamber, and cry on her bed.
