After A Thousand Years

I flew gleefully through the sky as my brain tried to remember where Ponyville was located. Celestia told me it was near Cloudsdale; a humungous cloud where the weather was managed. A millenium ago, Cloudsdale was only a cloud the size of an average home. There were only a few settler pegasi back then, Celestia had given them the cloud we once played on as fillies (I couldn't believe it still existed after all those years) with my approval.

Since I knew that we were now mature and grown up, I agreed. But... I kind of miss it now...

*CRASH*

I shook away from my memories as I realized I had collided into the city in the sky.

Cloudsdale was without a doubt, the most breathtaking city I have ever crashed into. There was a rainbow streams flowing out of the city to the ground below and buildings made out of clouds! There were gazebos, coliseums' and such fascinating architecure built everywhere. To be honest, this was much more of a grand city rather than Canterlot itself!

I looked down from the city and saw Ponyville. But the tree wasn't in the middle... it was west of town. Curse my low memory!

My wings dove to the tree below, speeding at first; but then gracefully landing with a soft thud. That was how Celestia did it a thousand years ago, I think...

As I landed, many ponies took notice and some shot me fearful glances. I ignored those and turned my attention to the ponies who were waving and smiling. I casually waved back with my own smile then walked up to the library of Twilight Sparkle.

But as I approached the door, I stopped. What would Twilight Sparkle think of me barging through her home like a deranged foal? After all, I had just met her a couple hours ago without even knowing her name until my sister informed me of it. I should of thought this through more thoroughly...

Ugh! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I thought as I banged my head with my hoof and began to pace back and forth.

But my pacing must've caused noise. The next thing I knew, I was face to face with Twilight Sparkle. She looked rather welcoming of my presence and I smiled at the sign of that. "Hello Princess Luna! How may I be of service?" she asked.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle, We take it thy art our sister's pupil, are we right?" I spoke.

My voice blew Twilight back a few inches and even ruined her perfectly straight mane. Why did I not remember Celestia's explanation about the form of speech?

"Yes Princess, I am indeed your sister's pupil" Twilight replied with a weak and forced smile.

I was on the verge of telling her Celestia sent me to say "Hi" to her but that would be lying! Oh Celestia why aren't you here when I need you the most?

"Do you mind if we can just chat for a bit Miss Sparkle? I'm interested on finding out more about Equestria today and since my sister did say you were quite knowledgeable I was wondering could you possibly... help me...?"

Twilight then grinned from ear to ear, "Sure Princess! I'd be glad to tell you more about modern Equestria! Please, do come in"

I stepped into Twilight's home. The bottom floor had shelves carved into the walls filled with books. I swear I have never seen so many magic books about Starswirl the Bearded in my entire life! Not even the Starswirl the Bearded wing in the Canterlot Archives has this much. Twilight must certainly be quite interested in him and his works, I knew I certainly was.

"Oh Princess there is so much to explain I don't know where to even begin!" Twilight squealed excitingly; her eyes gleaming with

"Well, if you don't mind; I'd like to know where you got all these books about Starswirl the Bearded. He is so fascinating!"

Twilight's face lit with cheer and I could tell she was trying to avoid squealing like a filly just getting her cutie mark. It made me laugh by the slightest.

"Well I all got them from Princess Celestia, she gave them all to me when I was still studying in Canterlot." Twilight explained then blushed "she caught me taking a book out of her personal library one day and she said I could have all forty seven as long as I kept them in good shape"

"That's Celestia alright" I chuckled.

We laughed and chatted for a bit longer. I have learned so much from Twilight Sparkle about the ways of Equestria and a bit more about my sister. We had a lot in common to tell the truth, Twilight enjoyed stargazing, reading, and learning as much as I did and I promised to invite her to Canterlot Palace one time to stargaze with me.

Before we knew it, Celestia was already lowering the sun and raising the moon. I would've raised the moon myself but I'm still in such a weak state, it would take me a few weeks to get back to my responsibility of raising and lowering the moon.

My time limit was up, time to get home before Celestia sends out a search party to look for me all across Equestria.

"Goodbye Twilight! I'll send you messages when I can" I promised before flying off.

Twilight's POV:

I waved goodbye to my newfound friend. Princess Luna knows so many fascinating facts about- well everything! Heck I didn't even know Starswirl the Bearded was Princess Celestia's pupil too until she told me. More ponies should start getting to know her better; because once Princess Luna leaves her shy state she becomes a Pinkie Pie and a Rainbow Dash in one!

I should've hung out more with Luna during her and Celestia's brief visit to Ponyville.

But... while I was talking to her about how I became Princess Celestia's student, I suddenly felt ill...

I know I didn't get any type of sickness before arriving here in Ponyville, I even went to a doctor before coming here to make sure everything was alright. For some reason, I felt nauseous, lightheaded, and even angry.

Why am I feeling this way? Did I forget to do something that I should've done? I should go to another doctor tomorrow just to make sure I'm okay, because this was getting peculiar... more peculiar than that surprise birthday party my parents set for me as a filly.
