"Luna? Are you excited for the sunrise today?" Celestia asked Luna.

Luna stayed solemn. She thought to herself,"I play a big role, too. I raise the first summer moon. Is that important to anypony?"
But instead she replied with, "Of course I am sister."
Luna scowled behind Celestia's back. "Good. Why don't you dress in the clothes Rarity made you." Celestia told her sister.
"I didn't get any clothes from anypony." Luna said.
"Well you can wear the one from last year then." Celestia said.
"Never mind. I can't go." Luna said. "What?! Why not?! Luna, do you know how important this is to me? Do you even care? I bet you are still jealous that I have the highest authority here!" Celestia fired at Luna.
"Of course I know how much this means to you! And don't you think for one second that I am jealous of your power!" Luna fired back.
"If you knew what this meant to me, you would come!" Celestia yelled. "Ugh! You don't know what it is like not being known by your citizens! You have no idea of the humiliation I went through coming out of Nightmare Moon. Do you think I would want to go back to that form?! You have some nerve Celestia." Luna said her voice breaking.
"Do you know the pain of banishing your sister to the moon knowing you won't see her for thousands of years?!" Celestia screamed.
"No! I don't know what it is like banishing my sister, but I sure as hell know what it feels like to be banished by my sister. I was alone on the moon for thousands of years and it is a pain you will never have to go through because you are loved! There isn't the slightest chance of you turning corrupt because you are loved!" Luna screamed at her. Tears were welling up at the rim of Luna's eye.
"Equestria can live without you, Luna! When you were banished, I took over your role and we managed just fine! You are an accident!"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it. Luna was in shock. She didn't think her sister would ever take it this far.
"Luna, I am sorry. What I said isn't true." Celestia tried to calm her sister, but Luna ran away to her room.

Celestia was about to run after her, but she scoffed and said, "Who needs her?" Then she silently added, "I do."

Celestia finished getting ready. She was wearing a yellow and white dress with flowers rimming the edges. She was wearing the same shoes she always wore to the sun rise. Her crown was the same with a few touches here and there.
