The innocent Evil

D'aw, atleast that is subtle romance. Oh well, back to the two love birds!

It was Luna's 15th birthday today! She is so excited, 'cos she persuaded Celestia into letting Sombra come to her party. Once Luna woke up, she was bouncing around her room like a tornado! Throwing books off shelves, 'accidently' destroying her homework, and laving hoof prints on all of the surfaces.

"Calm down, dearest!" called her mother, trotting into the room.

"Presents!?" Luna cried excitedly, leaping around her mother, trying to find the present.

"Yes, yes, but Celestia wants to give you something first." replied her mother, but her brow lowered, and a guilty looking Celestia walked in, her head low to the ground, "Go ahead, Celestia, say what she deserves to hear!"

Celestia glared viciously at her mother, then turned to Luna again. "Luna... I'm afraid that your pathetic special somepony cannot come to the party..."

Celestia's mother hit her in the back of the head with her wing. "Celestia! You are grounded!" scolded her mother.

"Thats not fair!" yelled Celestia just as loud and angry, "Mother! Thats no fair! I hate you!"

And with that, Celestia stormed out, slaming the door behind her.

"I'm sorry darling... Celestia is just stressed..." Luna's mother apologised, braiding her long, flowing hair, " How about you and I bake a cake later?"

"I'd like that..." replied Luna, smiling gently, trying to push the picture of Celestia's murderous eyes to the back of her head.

***Later***

"Careful with the eggs Luna!" giggled her mother, hardly contoling herself from laughter.

Luna had accidently poured flour all over herself, and her flowing mane and tail made her look like a ghost.

"Boo- cough cough!" coughed Luna, trying to act like a ghost, but choking on the flour.

Both Luna, and her mother nearly fell over laughing, but Celestia stood at the doorway, glaring viciously.

"Oh, come on Celestia, lighten up!" Luna chuckled, "Get it, 'Lighten up'!"

Luna chuckled, but Celestia continued her angry glare. Smiling, and getting back to work on the cake, Luna's smile was uncontained, and she started to giggle again.

A few hours later, and about 3 more attempts at the batter, the cake was finished. All that was left was the icing. Luna's mother had said to leave the cake for a while, to let it cool, and when they walked out, and began doing random things, Celestia snuck into the kitchen. Making sure her teleportation spell was working, Celestia gently put the edge of her wing under the plate of the cake, and slammed it hard onto the floor, and teleported quickly out. But, one of her feathers did not come with her, and gently landed on top of the squashed cake.

Reacting fast, Luna shot into the kitchen and screamed. The cake was nothing more than a mound of broken batter, with a small, pure-white feather sitting on top. Her mother quickly entered, and her face turned red.

"CELESTIA!" bellowed Luna's mother.

Celestia innocently walked in, "Yes mother?" she spoke in a soft tone. Her mother pointed to the ruined cake, which Luna was now sobbing over, "Oh, dear! How did that happen?"

"I think you already know!" purred her mother dangerously, "Celestia, you have gone too far this time! You are not going to your friends' sleep over!"

"WHAT?!" screamed Celestia, stomping her hoof so hard it nearly cracked the tile underneath her hoof, "MUM!!! THATS NO FAIR!!!"

"It is a just punishment!" her mother retorted.

Celestia reared back, and broke the two tiles underneath her hooves.

"That's it Celestia, you spoiled little brat, you are 18, and it is about time you acted your age!" snarled their mother, "You are going to do your, and Luna's chores for the next month and you get to go no where and get no pocket money." she paused for a moment, "Oh, and you are not aloud to do go Luna's party."

Celestia screamed in anger as loudly as she could, and stormed out.

"Mother, that was a bit much, don't you think?" Luna murmured.

"Not at all, she needs to learn." her mother judged, levitating the remains of the cake, and swiftly putting it back together, "She was a spoiled brat, and it needed to stop."

Slowly nodding, Luna went over to the icing sugar, and handed it to her mother. Quickly her mother made the icing, and put on the finishing touches to the cake.

"Go on, isn't Sombra coming over?" smiled her mother, with no trace of the angry beast she was earlier.

Luna looked up and smiled from ear to ear. "Oh, yeah!"

A few hours later, and there was some soft chapping on the door. Luna gently opened it, and was met with a large hug. Sombra was grinning as widely as her. Luna invited him in, and they went up into Luna's room. For a few hours, they sat and played Pokémon on their small Gameboy-like devices. They traded Pokémon after Pokémon, and then traded back the new evolutions.

Soon, there was some calling from downstairs calling, "Luna! Sombra! Wont you be late for the birthday party?"

"Ok, mother, we are going!" Luna called back, "I wonder where it will be!"

Sombra and Luna walked side-by-side brimming with excitement, and soon they heard the heavy poundings of wubs. The closer they got, the more violent the wubs got. Soon they got to the party place... but it was made of cloud, floating in the sky.

"Oh..." Sombra sighed, his excitement bubble popped.

"Like where I picked?" grinned a voice from above, and a white, unicorn head looked out of the door.

"Celestia!" cried Luna, "What did you do!"

"I picked a location where pussy there, couldn't follow. Then it hit me, the sky!" Celestia did some twirls in the air, and floating about two feet off the ground, "Now come on, the party is almost half way done!"

"I'm not coming." Luna growled simply.

"What?!" cried Celestia, "But, who's ever heard of a birthday party, where the birthday foal doesn't show up?" Celestia dragged Luna into the air.

"Mine, apparently." snapped Luna back.

"Celestia, we've had ENOUGH!" Sombra cut in, shocking them both, "You have treated me horribly, even though I have done NOTHING to you. You act like you are all high and mighty, but just because you are a princess, doesn't mean you are the boss of everything."

Stunned by this, Celestia's horn began to glow, "Oh, yeah." began Celestia, a grin growing on her face, "I think that you have forgotten your place, and now you have to pay the price."

Celestia shot a yellow beam right to Sombra, and Sombra shot back, his magic as black as night. The two magic aura's clashed in a brilliant flash of night and day. Celestia and Somra's faces were bathed in sweat as they fought, and soon, Celestia overpowered Sombra, and struck him in the mouth.

"GRAWL!" cried Sombra, sent flying into a wall, "Grrr..."

"Sombra!!" Luna quickly flew to him, "What did you do to him, Celestia!!"

Celestia giggled, "I disabled his speech. All he can do now are grunts, whines, and growls."

Sombra snarled viciously, but could not say a word. His horn glowed, and quickly shot from his horn, and hit Celestia's. Pure-black crystals sprung from the base of her horn, right the way up to the tip.

Screaming in horror, Celestia pretended to be in pain, and alerted the guards.

Sombra growled and snarled, and tried to explain, but the guards did not understand him, and threw him into chains.

Sombra tried to break free, but the guard's grasp on him were too great, and he was carried off into prison....
