The storm of emotions building inside Celestia began to calm as Luna’s words sank in. She could recognize them almost immediately; after all, they were the same things she had said to cheer Luna up when ponies began to disregard her work. In fact, Luna seemed quite different as well. Gone was the raging monster that had locked her away and struck her. Instead, she was now sitting before what felt like a grown mare not unlike herself, wise and powerful. She couldn’t help but feel how Luna must have felt for all those millennia, standing before somepony that seemed to know everything.
“Luna….I….”
The filly could take no more. She leaped onto Luna so hard both ponies went tumbling backwards in a big pile. “I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault! I was being so selfish that I couldn’t think about how much I was hurting you! And…And I’m sorry I called you Nightmare Moon! You’re not a monster, Luna!””
Luna was dumbstruck at first, unable to comprehend her filly sister sitting on her barrel and sobbing. When her actual sense of consciousness returned, she wrapped her forelegs around the filly, curling her wings so they formed an additional barrier. “No, it is I who should be apologizing. I should have tried speaking to you before doing something like this. And I am sorry I slapped you. I promise, I will never do something like that again.”
Celestia looked up from her sister’s chest. “You know what? We both messed up. But that’s going to change from now on.”
“A-Are you still going to abdicate?” Luna asked hesitantly.
At this, Celestia paused. She knew Luna wasn't going to like what she said next. "I don't want to give up the throne, no. But I also don't think I'm ready to go back yet. I...I want to stay like this, at least for a little while longer."
Luna sighed, levitated Celestia off her chest, and climbed back to her hooves. "I see. I can't say I'm enthralled at ruling Equestria alone for a while longer, but it's your decision. We'll keep the cure on hoof for when you're ready to come back." She shrugged her back straight, forcing a smile to her now-little sister. "So...have you considered who you want to live with?"

Luna As The Parent: Part 1
After Luna raised the sun, she thought it might be a good idea to go and wake Celestia. She walked down the hall to Celestia’s room. When she opened the door, the white alicorn filly was sleeping while cuddling a stuffed bunny; the sight brought a warm smile to the Moon Princess’ face. With that, Luna walked over to her and shook her lightly. “Tia, wake up now. The cooks made waffles.”
Celestia woke up and stretched her petite body. Subsequently, she looked at Luna and chirped, “OK, give me a second to put my gold slippers on along with my crown.” With that, Luna went to the storage area and dug up Celestia’s old royal stuff from when she was a filly.
After Celestia had gotten her crown on, she looked at Luna with puppy dog eyes and asked in a innocent tone, “Woona, will you cawy me there?”
Luna merely rolled her eyes, but still picked Celestia up with magic and gently placed her on her back. “Come on, let’s get something to eat.”
By the time they reached the dining hall, Leafy Greens had brought out waffles with syrup and butter. With that, Celestia dug in, not even using a fork. Luna sat there, as if she was in a stupor, amazed that a filly could eat like that. After she had eaten, Celestia had syrup all over her face. Luna chuckled and asked, “So Tia, have you thought where you wanted to be educated?”
Those words struck a cord in Celestia. All she could say was, “Well, I was wondering if I could be schooled here at the castle?”
Luna smiled. “Well, I don’t see why not. However, I think your teacher should be none other than your old student Twilight Sparkle. I will contact her as soon as I can.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight groaned as she read the letter. Normally, any kind of mail from Canterlot would have been a joyous occasion, perhaps even an invitation to a new adventure. But after everything that had happened, she couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated by all that had happened to her and Celestia.
The Princess’ decision never really rested well with her. After all, she had braved Kuchen’s mind, and even worse, Pinkie’s mind to find that cure, and now her mentor wanted to remain a filly? After all that work, all she had to show for it was a massive migraine and some notes from her cruel old teacher. And now Luna wanted her to be Celestia’s teacher? She was supposed to teach the pony that taught her to begin with?
Then she realized something. If she was Princess Celestia’s personal teacher, she would have far greater access to Celestia than ever before. All she had to do was wink and nudge her in the right direction, and she would have her Princess back. With that, she replied to Luna’s letter saying she would gladly accept the offer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna looked at Celestia with a smile and said, “Twilight said she is going to do it and she will be here soon so make yourself presentable, for both of us.” Celestia gave a cute little pout not wanting to get cleaned up, but she sighed, walked upstairs, and cleaned herself with a wet towel. After Celestia had gotten cleaned up she started walking in the castle only to bump into her friend Lofty.
"Oh, hi Lofty! What’s up?" Celestia asked.
"My mom told me you decided to stay a filly and not turn back!" Lofty said with excitement in her voice.
"Yes, I did decide to stay my current age. The only problem is my student Twilight Sparkle will be coming soon to teach me magic," Celestia said with a little giggle.
"So, umm, princes-" before Lofty could finish, Celestia cut her off, saying that she did not need to call her Princess. "Oh, sorry Celestia but I was going to ask, do you want to go to the gardens and play? Or we could fly or something," Lofty said with a big smile
"Hmm... I have not tried flying yet," Celestia said with a big grin of her own.
Ok now i know for a fact InsertAuthorHere helped me write this chapter
Luna As The Parent: Part 2
Celestia and Lofty were playing in the gardens. Lofty was flying but Celestia was only getting a good seven inches off the ground while Lofty giggled at her
“It’s not funny, Lofty. I haven’t flown in over a century but you have,” Celestia said, letting out a frustrated groan as she landed. Lofty finally stopped flying and stood next to her friend still laughing.
“I know. Sorry Celestia, but come on! You should have seen yourself” Lofty exclaimed while Celestia fell on her haunches, letting out a sigh. “Oh, come on. Keep practicing and you will be flying in no time, I swear.”
“I know that, but it is a little annoying not being able to use magic or fly. But I am enjoying my new foalhood, seeing as I never really had one,” Celestia said before trailing off. She didn’t even pay any attention to Philomena landing on her head much to Lofty’s surprise eyes went wide with shock
“Celestia, hold still. There's a phoenix on your head,” Lofty said, staring at the bird
“Oh, this is Philomena,” Celestia said while Philomena chirped at the sound of her name. Lofty stared at the bird, not moving an inch. “Lofty, are you alright?”
“Huh? Yeah, I’m fine. Just zoned out a little tiny bit,” Lofty said with a blush, which then turned into a giggle.
“It’s understandable. I have zoned out more than once,” Celestia said while gaining a grin.
______________________________________________________________________________
Ruby Dream came out to the gardens later that day to pick Lofty up. When she arrived, she saw the two filles giggling like no tomorrow. After the laughter calmed down, Ruby Dream walked over to the fillies.
“Come on Lofty, time to go home,” Ruby Dream said, putting a hoof on Lofty’s back.
“Aww, alright mom,” Lofty said, a little sad as she began to trot away with her mother. Subsequently, Luna came out to the gardens to get Celestia. Luna took this as her chance to scare the filly. The blue alicorn snuck up behind her younger sister
“BOO!” Luna shouted, making Celestia jump about fifty feet in the air. When Celestia saw how high she was the filly began to flap her wings faster than needed to slow her fall, not even noticing she was in Luna’s magical grip. “Calm down, Tia, I've got you”
“What the heck, Luna? Why would you do that? I thought we had a truce with stuff like that!” Celestia screamed her voice cracking a little. This made Luna chuckle at her now-little sister.
“I could not resist, Tia. You looked calm and unsuspecting of a nice little jump scare,” Luna said between laughs. This only made the now-growing blush on Celestia’s face redder with anger and embarrassment - the anger that Luna would pull something like that, and the embarrassment that she fell for it.
“Well, either way I did not find it the least bit funny. I found it mean and low spirited. After what has happened this week I thought you may have learned a little bit of a lesson,” Celestia huffed out, a little mad. She had a revenge plan now, but she still had to convince the cooks to put hot sauce in Luna's oatmeal. “But come on, lets go in,” she said as her stomach grumbled
“And that is why I came to get you, Tia. It’s lunch time now. Come on, lets go,” Luna stated. The two started walking to the castle. While walking, Celestia kept flapping her wings trying to fly, only hovering an inch or two off the ground, but she never quit - at least, until they reached the castle and walked in.
As both Celestia and Luna arrived in the dining halls of the castle, the two sisters took their seats. Subsequently, Leafy Greens brought out their food
“Your Majesties,” she said, placing a plate in front of both alicorns. All the while, Celestia had a plan for Luna.
“Luna could you maybe make me some tea?” Celestia asked before giving a pair of puppydog eyes “Plllleeeeaaaasssseee” Luna let out a sigh before getting out of her chair trotting into the kitchen
“Now it’s time for this little alicorn to have her revenge” Celestia laughed to herself before picking up a bottle of hot sauce she had hidden under her chair cushion Celestia tried to use her magic again Celestia’s horn only light up like a sparkler this earned a groan from Celestia “Great my magic still won’t work”
Celestia then took the bottle of hot sauce using her hooves she popped the lid off Celestia then started to pour the hot sauce on Luna’s plate “I told Luna that the treaty was off and I would put the same hot sauce Spike uses in his food” Celestia giggled hearing Luna’s voice she threw the hot sauce trying to get rid of a evidence
“Here you go Tia” Luna said setting a cup of tea in front Celestia
“Thank you Luna” Celestia smiled “ And now I wait for Luna to take a bite of her nice hot meal “ Celestia then let out a small giggle earning Luna’s attention
“What is it Tia?” Luna asked making Celestia almost freeze up from the question
“N-nothing Luna just a thought I had it was ummmm how Twilight is going to react when she comes here” Celestia said clearly lying
“Uh huh are you sure thats all it is?” Luna asked “Your voice is shaky the only time it is shaky is when you lie” Luna stated calling Celestia out on her lie
“I-its nothing I swear Luna would I ever lie about something unless it was only for me to know” Celestia said now sweating hoping Luna would not find out “Hey Luna doesn't this food look good lets dig in I am starving” Celestia then picked her fork up with her hooves and started eating
“Okay Tia whatever you say” Luna said levitating her own fork taking a bite of her food “Tia did you do something to my food?” Luna asked seeing Celestia burst into a fit of giggles
“Y-yes I-I put h-hot sauce on your food” Celestia said between giggles
“Oh just you wait Celestia just remember this your coat got dirty when you were playing in the gardens” Luna smirked
Well everypony I know it took a while but still I had some MAJOR writers block for this so I hope you enjoy the chapter
