Memories are Inserted Here

Celestia walked down her long, royal corridor. It was shrouded with golden curtains and windows that stood a mile high. The tiles on the floor danced as they made a checkered pattern beneath Celestia's golden hooves.

Celestia was just beginning to wind down. It was almost time to set the sun, so Luna could guard her sadly-not-everlasting night. And no evil spirits or monsters attacked Equestria today. Everything was going to plan.

When suddenly, Celestia unexpectedly lost her balanced, and tripped! She turned around to see what the little rascal that tripped her was. She then chuckled; it was only a ball. A very special ball.

“Luna,” Celestia managed to say through her giggling. “Look what I found.” Luna came out of a nearby room and strolled over.

“What is it dear -” She looked at what was in her sister’s white hooves. She gasped.“The ball from our faithful fillyhoods!”

“This brings back so many memories of when we were fillies. We had nothing to worry about then...”

Over 1000 years ago...

“Give me the ball, ‘Tia!”

In the castle courtyard, Luna wrestled with her sister to get the now-dirty ball. The ball was a nice shade of yellow , with a brilliant stripe of blue layered on top. A red star covered most of the front. The two sisters fought over two things: whose it was, and what they did with it

“But it’s mine, Luna!”

“Our guards said it was ours!”

“You listen to the guards? They're just old stallions who watch over Mom and us!”

"Yeah, but basically they're our parents other than Mom!"

"Huh."

Celestia plopped the ball down onto the dusty ground. Dust rose, and Luna let out a cough. “Then what should we do with it?” Celestia asked as she stared at the ball. They then began sitting down and pondering what this magical orb of rubber was useful for.

Suddenly, Luna had a great idea placed inside her head from the gods of thought. “Ooh! What if we pretend it’s an evil villain?”

“A villain? It’s a ball for Faust’s sake!”

“So what if it's a ball? Balls can be villains! You just have to use your imagination.” Luna made an imaginary rainbow with her hooves, then rushed inside the castle and got two costumes. They seemed to be explorer outfits; just their size. Luna showed them to Celestia with an adorable grin on her face.

Celestia stared at her sister with a blank expression. "Really."

"Yeah."

Celestia sighed. "Do I have to?"

"Yeah."

"Fine."

"Oh thankyouthankyou THANK YOU 'Tia!"

“Let’s get started before I regret agreeing with you.”

Luna nodded with a smirk.

In the mysterious land of the Everfree Forest, two alicorn fillies had a gigantic fight against one evil ball. One was the elder, with a light pink mane. It blew in sync with Mother Nature’s wind with ease. The other, the youngest, had a light blue mane, that was somehow unaffected by the wind. The ball that stood before them planned to take over Equestria with one gulp, and the soon-to-be rulers of the land had to fight him off!

“Grrr,” the ball growled with its vicious fangs. “You’ll never stop me!”

“Yeah right!” Luna said with passion. “We’re gonna take you down! Right, ‘Tia?”

There was silence.

“Right, ‘Tia?”

Celestia then became aware she was supposed to speak. “Oh yeah. Right!” She said with an embarrassed look on her face.

The ball laughed. They would never knock over his precious posture! But of course, he never knew what was going to happen a few seconds later. Then, the two sisters pounced on the ball, knocking the ball off it’s imaginary feet.

“Pfft. You think a pounce will take me down?”

They shrugged. “...Maybe.”

“Well, it didn’t. MWAHAHAHA.”

Oh no! What were they going to do? Their signature attack betrayed them when they needed it most. Their only other attack of cuteness would also obviously fail (balls can't feel cuteness, they only feel the pain of when they get bounced against a hard wall). They had to think up another plan; fast.

“Sister, what shall we do?” Luna said with worry in her face.

“How about we push it down that hill?” She pointed over to a nearby, steep hill.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

They walked over to the ball of doom. They started to roll it towards the hill.

“Hey, what’re you doing?”

“Nothing much,” Celestia said. “We are just pushing you down a hill.”

“Huh-what? You can’t do this!”

Luna giggled. “Then why are we?”

“Because I can-”

Before they knew it, the ball had been stopped in mid-speech. The ball continuously rolled down the hill., faster and faster after every cycle.

The two sisters high-fived, happy that they succeeded in their quest.

“Well,” Celestia stated. “That was actually fun!”

“Told you this would be fun, ‘Tia!”

“You never did.” Celestia said with a flat tone.

“Oh.” Luna pouted. “Well, can we pretend that it happened?”

Celestia quietly put her hoof on her face. That was enough pretending for today.

Celestia and Luna laughed as they thought about all those good memories. Being a princess alicorn filly could be so fun.

“Sister,” Luna began. “How did it get here? We pushed it down that hill.”

“I...don’t know. Maybe some freak accident with the weather. You know the pegasi can get.”

“True, true.”

“Well, we should be beginning the night now. Are you ready, ‘Tia?”

Celestia nodded.

After their dusk routines, they parted ways. Celestia walked into her room, with the ball in her hoof. She quietly placed atop of a wooden stand. She then made a plexiglass case spawn out of thin air. She gently placed it atop of the ball.
“This will remind me of the good ol’ days.”
