2 years after season 4

Luna being Luna decided to travel through ponies dreams, since she had nothing better else to do; but somehow Luna 'ended up' in Celestia's dreams. Luna had an idea what she might expect in her sister's dreams, their childhood, Equestria, and maybe her banishment. But Luna never would have thought to see a part of her sister's life she didn't know about.

Luna stood in a room which she didn't recognize; the walls were decorated with drawings of a filly, toys, books, stuff animals. Luna moved towards the bed, her sister was watching a filly sleeping?

"Sister? Who is this?" Luna asks, Celestia didn't answer, her expression showing great pain. "Tia? What's the matter?" Luna asks once more, Celestia still didn't answer, Luna watch as Celestia gently brushed her hoof through the filly's mane. "Who is she?" Luna walk around the bed to get a better view of this filly, Luna eyes widen in shock "Twilight Sparkle?"

"I'm sorry Twilight" Luna look back at her sister, she wasn't talking to her, she hadn't even react to her presence; this wasn't a dream...it was a memory. "What kind of mother would sacrifice her own foal...for...for the sake of some noble's wishes?"

"Mother?" had Luna heard her sister right? What did she really mean when she said 'mother'?

Luna tried to walk closer but she felt her sister was about to awake from her sleep; Luna glance back at the memory before she left.

Luna needed answers for what she had just seen, mother? Memories? What was her sister talking about? And Twilight Sparkle?

"Sister may I enter?" Luna stood in front of her chambers, the sun had token the moon's place in the sky, another day was about to begin.

"You can" a voice shouted, Luna entered her sister's chambers; Celestia was busy brushing her mane, believe it or not.

"Tia I need to ask you something" Luna said, Celestia gave a quick glance towards Luna's direction, "Is Twilight Sparkle your daughter?", Celestia drop her brush, she was stiff as a statue.

"Ho...w" mumbled Celestia, she couldn't believe it! There was no way anypony could have known about Twilight, they've died a very long time ago and ponies have forgotten.

"So it's true?" Luna asks, Celestia just nodded her head, now it was Luna's turn to be in shock. "Sister? Are thus mad?" Luna said.

"Luna your using the old ways" Celestia said, Luna just shook her head at her

"Don't change the subject, sister" said Luna, Luna knew about Celestia's true relationship between Twilight but now she wants to know how. "A foal? You have a foal? Sister...we both agreed not to have foals since we had no idea what could happen. We don't even know if they would inherit our immortality?"

"I know...Luna" mumbled Celestia, Celestia still had no idea if Twilight would stop aging or not; she was only twenty after all, too soon to tell.

"Then explain yourself!" shouted Luna, Celestia felt like Luna was the older sister, scolding the younger for a mistake. Celestia told Luna everything that had happened, after her banishment to the moon, and what she had to do in order to keep Equestria safe. "But how was Twilight able to free me?" Luna ask, Luna knew if Twilight had a thousand year sleep then how was she fully grown and able to stop her.

"Twilight awoke seventeen years before your return, I've found a family for her and she was five after all. I gave Twilight to this family and they took her in, they know the truth about Twilight and vowed to never tell her" Celestia explained, Luna didn't say anything, she just stood there. "I was extremely lucky to see Twilight once more at the school; I could barely hold back my emotions when I saw her. And when she had her magic incident, I knew it was her alicorn magic and I had to train her; Twilight became my faithful student and I was able to 'technically' raise my daughter"

"But Twilight didn't have wings before" Luna said

"I removed them...it would have been too obvious and suspicious if she had kept them, I took the magic away and gave it back" Celestia said, Luna knew what her sister meant, when she gave Twilight back the rest of her alicorn magic.

"Are you going to tell her?" Luna ask

"I don't know..." mumbled Celestia

"Sister, as you said times are different, the nobles who've defied you have passed on long ago" Luna said, Celestia just glance away from her sister.

"But Chrysalis is still out there" said Celestia, Luna just smiled at her sister, she place her wing around her.

"Sister, you've suffered long enough, you've watch your daughter from afar without telling her the truth. Don't tell me that you never wanted to hug her? Or say I love you to her?" Luna said, Celestia just sigh, she had hugged Twilight but it wasn't the same thing as before, or having the chance to say I love you once more. "You deserve to be happy once more"

"I have you, Luna and there nothing else I need" Celestia said, as she tried to put on a brave face for her sister. Luna wasn't naive, she knew her sister would love to have her daughter back "Don't worry about it", Celestia smiled as she left her chambers, Luna just glance back when something came to her mind.

"Sister, you may not want to find happiness but I will" Luna smirk as she joyfully trotted away. Luna sent Twilight a letter, which Twilight of course took as a crisis and rushed towards Canterlot in a panic.

"PRINCESS LUNA WHAT IS IT? IS EQUESTRIA IN DANGER?!" shouted Twilight with her messy mane, bangs under her eyes and saddle overflowing with papers.

"Twilight calm down, I just sent a letter to see me and nothing else" said Luna with a slight chuckle, Twilight hadn't change much which was no surprise.

"Oh..." Twilight just lowered her saddle and sat down, "What a relief"

"It's about my sister" Luna watch as Twilight returned into her panic state, Luna just sighed, this might take awhile. "Twilight Sparkle calm down, Tia is just fine, I just wanted to talk about something which is on her mind" Twilight relax once more and sat right back down.

"Why isn't princess Celestia here?" Twilight ask

"She isn't aware of this, my sister believes she doesn't deserve any happiness" Luna explained

"That's crazy, Princess Celestia should be happy" Twilight said, she wanted her former teacher to be happy, she cared about Celestia.

"Twilight what do you remember before the age of five?" Luna asks, Twilight didn't understand why she was asking this question, but Twilight had no idea.

"I can't remember anything" said Twilight, Twilight had tried to remember something before the age of five, but she was never able to remember something.

"Twilight you're my sister's daughter" said Luna, there was no other way on saying it; Twilight just stared at Luna in shock.

"What? Princess Luna what on earth are you talking about? There no way I'm princess Celestia daughter" Twilight said, Twilight spent twenty years of her life with her parents; Twilight Velvet, Nightlight and her brother Shining Armour.

"Twilight, you need to see my sister! This is something between you two, I just got...how they say it...the ball rolling" Luna said as she left before Twilight could stop her. Twilight stood in front of Celestia's chamber, she had so many things going through her mind, and she didn't know what was going on or who to believe. Twilight raised a hoof, she took a deep breath and knock on the door, Twilight waited for Celestia's response.

"Come on!" Twilight heard, Twilight opened the door and entered the room, "Twilight what are you doing here?"
