Twilight's Pov

"Ms.Astral," Luna said walking up to an azure turquoise mixed mare with a pale sky blue patch over her right eye, she had a bluish violet mane fixed into a nice braid. However she had long bangs covering almost the whole length of her eyes.

"Ma'am you know aswell as I that Ms.Astral is what my mother prefers, she is quite stubborn no?" she says as a smirk reaches her muzzle, I stand there puzzled and forgotten.

" That she is," Luna says gently shaking her head as her etherial mane billows " Twilight Sparkle this is Astral Justice or Comet Wrath on the interwebs." Luna states turning the attention to me. I step towards the two and hold up a forehoof. Where have I heard that name..." I think before turning my attention back to Luna and Astral.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Astral Justice" I say a grin firmly planted on my muzzle.

"Likewise, and please just call me Astral" Astral says shaking my forehoof.

" Astral Justice will be helping you crush this threat and get settled into you're new role." Luna buts in.

" Ah, yes I specialize in technology, but I also have a special place in my heart for books. How about we get to know each other? Is that okay with you Madam Sparkle and you ma'am?" She said glancing between the two of us and I could faintly make out two crystal blue eyes but there was also a sort of green tint to them.

" I see no problem with that notion however we expect both of you here by 5 in the morning on the point." Luna said using a semi-cold glare to really get her point across.

"Yes, ma'am" we both said simultaneously.

"Well be off at once, even though I hate to say this, while the day is young!" With that Luna walked off.

"She can be quite scary when she wants to be." I whispered and get a nod of confirmation from Astral. She starts walking towards the exit of C.C.I.U. I follow close behind as the compound is still new to me. We soon reach the main lobby of the C.C.I.O she talks to an older mare sitting at the main desk while I gawk at how big the compound really is thanks to a map coveting almost the entire left wall.

" Well we are free for the entirety of the afternoon. So would like to get to know each other better Madam Sparkle?" Astral says scraping one hoof at the stone floor beneath us.

" I would love too, and if I am to call you Astral you can call me Twilight."I state resolve firm in my voice.

"Okay, Twilight...where would you like to travel first?" Astral asks as we walk out of Headquarters.

We pause for a moment while the gears in my head turn. " Maybe a restraunt? No,no that sounds more like a date,the library... no when I go in there I'm dead to the world... how about a park. I smile and say " how about the park and if we have a good time we grab a bite to eat and watch the stars?" I suggest as I quizzically stare waiting for her reaction.

" Sure! I know this great park near by with a huge pond!" She states practically beaming. My smile turns less into a polite fake smile and more into a real, large toothy grin. We start walking down the cobbled street in a semi awkward silence before I ask, " So how does your mother know princess Luna?"

"She is one of the three scribes for Ma'am- Princess Luna. It is so hard to switch" she says her voice lowering to a whisper at the end.

" Yeah, I messed up this morning and said Ma'am quietly. Anyway do you have any siblings?" I asked as we continued down the cobbled path.

"Hmm...well I have one brother named Dark Sunrise. He's a few years younger. I think he's two years younger but you could never tell, most people can't we look like twins. He of course uses that to his full advantage." She sighed shaking her head. "Wait look! There's the huge oak tree. We're almost there!" giddy lacing her tone at this point. I soon figured out why, the park was absolutely beautiful large willow trees loomed over nearly the entire outskirt of the large park, a cream colored path lead to a small building and a few groups of picnic tables and benches. However benches were more prevalent underneath the shade of the numerous willow trees. My mouth gaped open it seemed like something straight out of a fairy tale, the way the sun shine against the swaying grass due to a slight breeze, blending in perfect harmony with the deep rustle of leaves and saronaide of the birds seemingly sewn into the sky and woven into the trees. I followed after Astral trying to wrap my brain around the overwhelming sense of peace and relaxation that bombarded my mind.

"This park is entirely thanks to the help of blooming and restoration spells. It truly is beautiful isn't it, and that was only the beginning !" Astral said her voice a mix of pride and contentment.

With this the two set off into the grand park up and down stone paths admiring the creatures and each taking turns chasing a direction or spouting bits of knowledge.

"So what did you think of the small portion of the park we traveled through?" Astral said a smile etched across her entire muzzle.

Remembering everything that we had seen forced a smile onto my muzzle aswell. "It was beautiful and I enjoyed walking through it with you. I would like to possibly visit another section with you again soon." I said as we stood just outside of the entrance.

" Oh, my well I suppose we should grab a bite to eat, since you seemed to enjoy the park. Would you like to pick where we have dinner?" Astral stated glancing at me, I simply nodded my head too focused on figuring out the best restaurant.

After a few minutes I narrowed it down to a quant and subtle café, a small yet classy restaurant and a diner. Due to our attire the best place was most likely the classy restaurant.


Author's Note

The ending of this chapter is horrible. I couldn't think of a synonym for restaurant so I used it probably four or five times.
