Chapter 1: Feared Dreams

"No, please sister. Don't make me do this! I don't want to lose you again! Luna, don't. Don't! Luna?! LUNAAAA!"

*GASP! PANT, PANT, PANT!*

Celestia woke up from a frightful dream she had about another evil that was being made between the two sisters. But after Luna had became Nightmare Moon and was returned back to her good natured self ,thankfully due to the Elements of Harmony, there was supposed to be no more darkness and evil in her little sister's heart anymore! The frighten pony princess mumbled to herself "It was just a silly dream, just a fear that won't come true. That's all. Take a breather Celestia, get ahold of yourself here!" as if to reassure her that the dream was nothing.

*Large inhale, slow exhale* "Thank goodness it was just a dream. Now, what time is it?"

Celestia looked over at her sundial, then at her clock. The ancient grandfather clock claimed was 12:39 in the morning. It was nighttime, so what use is a sun dial if the moon is out?

"Okay, a couple of hours left until sunrise. I guess I can go back to sleep again." Celestia yawned before wondering where her little sister, Luna, might be.

Luna had just returned from relieving another pony from a nightmare. She couldn't help but have the feeling somepony else had fared something much worse in their dreams than this colt's fear of chickens.

The moon was shining bright that night, and so was its Princess. She beamed like a thousand moons that night. She flew off to find another pony to aid.

"Now, which subject needs Princess Luna's help next?" Luna landed as lightly as a star's twinkle on her balcony, and peered through her star covered telescope.

"LUNAAAA!"

"Tia? Art thou alright? TIA?! Oh no. What is it this time?" Luna ran to her elder sister's bedroom as fast as she could, when about halfway there she remembered she could just teleport there instead.

ZZZT! POOF!

"Tia?! What ever is the... matter? Tia?"

The only motion coming from Luna's sister was the rise and fall of her chest. "Celestia, if this is another one of those things you call 'trolls' then I do not appreciate this at all." The younger alicorn turned her back to her sister with a HMPH!Luna looked over her shoulder at her sister to see if she was awake.

Celestia had fallen deeply asleep once more and was snoring softly. Clearly not able to hear her upset and panicked sister in her peaceful slumber.

"Oh dear sister of mine , you worry me at times." Luna stroked the top of Celestia's magic filled, ethereal mane. "This is the fifth time this week you've called out fearfully in your precious dreams. Sigh." Luna walked out of her sisters room to continue watching her night.

Celestia was awoken by a whisper in her ear. Or was it... a sniff? The white alicorn opened her surprised eyes to Luna's pet opossum, Tiberius.

"Hey there little guy. Is it time to rise the sun now to begin the day so the ponies of Equestria can play?" Celestia giggled at her accidental rhyme as she reached her hoof out to scratch the opossum behind his ear as he flopped down on her bed sheets.

"Rise and sunshine sister! Litterlhay. You have to start the day now. Come on, let's go!" Luna exclaimed while ushering her sister onwards.

Still sleepy, the princess levitated her brush, crown, necklace, and shoes over to her and put them on. "All right, I'm ready."

The two sisters walked out to their balcony and signaled each other. Luna carefully lowered her moon amidst her sister rising the sun. Finally, they had finished their daily duet.

"Well I'm off for some *yawn* sleep dear sister. Good morning." Luna trotted off happily towards her dorm, tiresome from after yet another successful night.

Celestia started her day with a breakfast that consisted of oats, fruits, and vegetables. Her next objective was to read all of the scrolls, letters, and important papers that were addressed to her. Many talked about the sender's city's needs while others talked about business meetings. While she read through them all, she was looking for a certain pony's scroll in particular...

At last! The letter she was searching for in the seemingly endless piles and piles of parchment. Using her yellow aura of magic, she unfurled the letter.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I have returned from my third visit to the mirror world. Sunset Shimmer seems to be working out perfectly with the other humans, as they call themselves. I have a question that I mean no needs to offend , but should I keep sending you letters of my discoveries in friendship weekly? I am the princess of friendship now after all, so I know a lot about friendship and it's many wonders and hardships. If you have been insulted, I apologize ahead of time. Also, some of my friends have been wondering, when you and Princess Luna will visit us again? We realize that you and Luna have your royal duties to fulfill, but it would be nice to see you guys again!

Sincerely,

Princess Twilight Sparkle

The princess was slightly taken back by the purple alicorn's written words, but overjoyed as well. Not many ponies asked for her company solely like a friend for quite the while. She decided to accept this request. Why decline it when she could schedule the meeting with the rulers of Saddle-Arabia another day? The princess was craving for some "fresh air" and to go mingle with some of her friends would be more than bliss. If she still had any actual friends left after those long centuries of torturous loneliness. Celestia shook her head as of to clear her mind of those horrible thoughts.

"Um, excuse me miss." A white unicorn guard opened the chamber's door enough to where he was in full view of the princess. "Princess Luna has asked for your presence in the Hall of Memories." The stallion nodded at the princess, then took his leave.

"I wonder what Luna is wanting to speak about this time." The pearly white winged unicorn walked off to find her sister.
