A change in Life

"I believe you made a visit to the crystal empire two nights ago, is that correct?" Celestia asked her sister as she levitated her tea cup to her lips and took a sip. Luna looked away from the fireplace to her sister and nodded.

"Yes and I had a very nice visit sister" Luna responded, a smile on the younger princess' face before she levitated her tea cup and took a sip. "Though Cadence was a little under the weather and tired"

Celestia gave her sister a curious look at that statement before noticing the smile on Luna's features which caused her to gasp. "You mean she is?....." began Celestia but didn't have to continue due to the nod her sister gave her. "Oh that is wonderful news! when is...." began Celestia but was interrupted by a scroll appearing out of nowhere and knocking her tea cup off the plate and onto her legs below. The mood was killed instantly, for Celestia now had tea all over her and her ears were assaulted by her sisters laughter.

"Oh do stop laughing Luna" Celestia requested before using her magic to open up the scroll and begin reading it.

Dear Princess Celestia.

I am currently having trouble adapting to my new rank in society. No pony treats me the same. Everypony bows to me and agrees with everything I say as if they fear me. I do not know what to do and how to make everypony act normal around me. If you could explain it to me or help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Your most faithful student:

Twilight Sparkle.

"What does Twilight need?" wondered Luna after finishing her tea and setting the plate and cup on the small table to her left.

"I have a task for you sister, I believe your the right mare for this since you had a similar issue" Celestia explained before dropping the scroll in front of her sister who opened it with her magic and began reading.

"Oh, yes I believe I can help with this" Luna said happily before standing on her hooves. "I'll do this task now, I wish you a good sleep my sister and sweet dreams" Luna expressed before turning and trotting out of her sisters study as Celestia said good Night to her younger sister.

"Why hasn't she replied yet?" Twilight rhetorically asked as she paced back and forth in front of her baby dragon companion. Spike sighed as he shook his head slowly. Typical Twilight.

The two friends both jumped at the sound of thunder before hearing a chariot's wheels against the stone outside and 2 sets of hooves that carried it.

The two heard a knock before Twilight unlocked the door and opened it revealing the princess of the night. Luna smiled at the surprised alicorn before her.

"Princess Luna!, come in come in!" Twilight exclaimed, happy that she actually got to ask more questions. Luna gladly entered the library before using her magic to take her cloak off and hang it on a coat hanger on the back of the door.

"Greetings Twilight Sparkle. My sister received your letter an hour ago so I decided to pay you a visit to clear any questions you may have" explained the princess of the night with a kind smile on her face.

"That is wonderful!" Twilight stated happily.

"Wonderful for my ears too" Spike added to Twilight's sentence before turning and beginning to proceed upstairs. "Good night Twilight. My medication is making me sleepy so I apologize Luna" Spike explained to the two mares.

"Quite fine, enjoy your rest" Luna said before turning back to Twilight Sparkle. "Tea?"

The two alicorns sat across from each other at the small kitchen table. The kitchen being the room Twilight spent the least amount of time in left it bare with only appliances, a table, 2 chairs and cupboards. No flowers or any decorations were usually set up unless it was a holiday but those were done by spike every year.

"So tell me Twilight Sparkle, what is the problem you are facing?" the princess asked the alicorn in front of her. She already knew what the problem was but she wanted a full explanation from her.

"Well, I find that no one looks or talks to me the same other than my friends. Everyone is always looking up to me and kissing my flank....sorry for the simile but I feel like...." began Twilight before she found she could not find the right words to express it.

"Like Celestia?" asked Luna who received a nod from Twilight. "It is not uncommon to be a little....stressed and annoyed by the attention Twilight. When Cadence first was crowned a Princess she felt the exact same way as you did. The reason why the ponies of Equestria act this way around you is because they look up to you" Luna explained which confused Twilight.

"Look up to me? I haven't done much" Twilight said before Luna smiled again.

"You cured me of Nightmare Moon, you stopped Discord from destroying Equestria, you and your friends saved Canterlot from Chrysalis and most importantly you stopped Sombra from taking over the Crystal Empire. Twilight Sparkle I haven't done anything like that. The Ponies of Equestria look up to you because you are a perfect rolemodel. You yourself use to be a normal unicorn and now you are a princess, a hero and a celebrity. Me and my sister may have stopped Discord originally but look at what I did afterwords. I became bitter and turned against my sister. I spent 1000.....very long years on the moon. That is more than 75% of my life. I wasted that time because of my anger, my jealousy and my self centered personality at the time. I spent the year after I was restored from Nightmare Moon filled with regret, shame and sorrow. I had betrayed my subjects and my sister. When I came to socialize with the ponies of Equestria for the first time since my return during Nightmare Night I was saddened that everyone still feared me. I thought it would be that way forever until you came along and helped me. You see Twilight Sparkle the ponies of Equestria look up to you because you are a kind, generous and courageous pony. Young fillies are inspired by you because you worked hard all your life and obtained your current status. Just do not make the same mistake that I made" Princess Luna explained to the alicorn who thought about it. for a few moments.

"You have nothing to worry about Twilight Sparkle, It will all become clearer once me and my sister begin to teach you how to be a princess"

"So what your telling me is, I am a rolemodel and I need to tough it out till I get to Canterlot correct?" asked the alicorn.

"Yes"

"I was hoping for more information Princess..."

"I know you did, however some things you must wait for my sister wants to explain it all to you when you arrive" explained Luna as she rose from her seat and turned to the door. "Have a nice night Twilight Sparkle" Luna expressed.

"You too princess"
