One thousand years have passed. One thousand years since Princess Celestia banished her sister to the moon. Now, after one thousand years, Princess Luna has returned. But even after all this time, Celestia is troubled by what she did to Luna. Celestia accepted Luna's forgiveness, but can she return the gesture after what she did?

**Author's Note: Originally inspired by the song "Lullaby for a Princess" by ponyphonic. If you haven't heard it, go listen to it right now! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4tyvJJzSDk
Seriously, you won't regret it.**
