My Little Pony: Reversed Roles

"Where is Luster?" Celestia couldn't help but wonder.

"Patience everyone; Princess Twilight will have an announcement shortly." Moondancer said.

It's the day after Luster had left through the portal, but the only one who knew where she had vanished off to was Princess Twilight and the High Council. The High Council in particular was instructed to keep where Luster left to under wraps. Soon Princess Twilight entered the room.

"Please Princess...where is our dear Luster?" One of the unicorn mare nearby said. Celestia figured she was Luster's mother.

"I'm afraid I don't know. Last night after confronting her about her attitude towards Fluttershy and other students, Luster Dawn unfortunately fled from the castle. And I'm afraid, where she went after that is unknown." Princess Twilight said.

"Will she ever be allowed back in the school?" Luster Dawn's father asked.

"Considering how she was acting, unless she shapes her act up before coming back, I am afraid that Luster Dawn is unable to reenter the school unless she cleans up the way she was acting." Princess Twilight said.

"How bad could she have been?" Luster Dawn's mother asked.

"She ran out of class after learning of Miss Fluttershy's loss at the primaries for the slot Rainbow Dash got." Moondancer said.

"She also argued with her fellow student; Lucky Star; quite a few times too." Rainbow Dash said.

"It's true. I don't know why she would do that though." Lucky Star said.

"And to top it all off, she went off on Fluttershy about how animals should fend for themselves which as you know, is not very well tolerated with her." Princess Twilight said.

"I was going to punish her for the things she said. But...she ran off before I could do so." Fluttershy said.

"Oh dear..." Luster Dawn's Father said.

"Where did we go wrong with her?" Luster Dawn's Mother asked.

"It's not your fault. Do not blame yourselves." Princess Twilight said.

"With all due respect your highness, we can't help but feel that we failed our daughter because of the way she acted..." Luster Dawn's Mother said.

"Just please...promise us you'll find our little girl." Luster Dawn's Father said.

"I'll do my best to do so, but if she doesn't want to be found...she won't be." Princess Twilight said.

"Another letter from my sister?" Celestia said. She was with Lucky Star and Princess Twilight.

"Yes. I figured that after Luster Dawn's departure, hearing this new letter might help you out. I was planning on saving it's words for you after the mid-terms but given the circumstances..." Princess Twilight said.

"Well I might as well stick by." Lucky Star said.

Dear Celestia,

You doing okay at Princess Twilight's School so far? Knowing you, you are. I mean, come on; your like the friendliest pony I've ever known. Then again, your one of the few ponies I got to interact with because of me being a Pegasus and you being a unicorn.

As for me, I'm doing great. Spitfire is really nice. She told me her dream is to become a Wonderbolt one day and I figured I might as well support her as much as I can.

Of course she is a bit jealous that I had a childhood in Canterlot. I did tell her I had a sister whose a unicorn and that's who I wanted to make sure to write to as much as I could. She litterally fainted when I told her you were going to attend Princess Twilight's School of Gifted Unicorns.

I think Mid-terms might be coming up soon for you. Knowing you, you won't just pass your mid-terms, you'll ace them. You one of the smartest ponies I know on top of being one of the friendliest. I just hope you take time to make friends while you're in class. Can't keep me as your only friend, after all.

I better go now. Take care of your self sis. -Luna

Celestia smiled. "It's good to know my sister is doing a-okay." She said.

"Yeah it's nice. Say, I could use a study budy. Studing is always best in groups." Lucky Star said.

"I like the sound of that. Let's go to the library and grab a few books." Celestia said. As the pair ran off, Twilight smiled.

"Good. The beginnings are there." Princess Twilight said. "What's more, I didn't have to push her to make friends. She's making them on her own. Good. She will need that once she's older." She added.

And that night, staring up at the sky, Twilight was looking at the reason why.

The mare in the moon; what many considered an old pony's tale; was in fact, no fable at all. For the mare in the moon was Princess Twilight's fellow ruler and lover. None but she knows the truth as to who that is.

All anyone will tell you regarding the mare in the moon, is the evil tyrant known as Burning Light.

But to Princess Twilight, she knows her lover is there in that corrupted form of Burning Light.

"It'll just take time to bring her back to normal..." Princess Twilight said.
