Luna's P.O.V

Twilight and I look out the window one sunset. "My dearest sister, how could you have treated us in this way?" I sang.

"Fate has been cruel, and order unkind... How can I have sent you away? The blame is my own, the punishment, yours... The harmony's silent tonight..." Twilight sang.

"But, into the stillness, we'll bring you a song... And we will your company keep til your tired eyes and our lullabies have carried you softly to sleep..." We sang in unison.

"Once there is a princess that shone like the stars, look out on the kingdom and sigh... She smiled and said 'surely there is nobody so heroic and so well beloved as I...' So great was her fame and so brilliant her glory that long was the shadow she cast, which fell dark upon the wise teacher that she loved, and grew only darker as days and nights passed..." Twilight sang.

"Once there is a princess that shone like the moon, look out on the kingdom and sigh... She smiled and said 'surely there is nobody so appreciated and so well forgiven as I...' So great was her ability to dream walk and so brilliant her glory that long was the shadow she cast, which fell dark upon the old sister that she loved, and grew only darker as days and nights passed," I sang.

"Lullay Sun princess, goodnight teacher mine, and rest now in sunlight's embrace... Bear upon my lullaby, winds of the earth... Through clouds, and through skies, and through space..."

I imagine my sister singing lullabies to Twilight, but now this is the other way around. The sun slowly sets as we continue to sing. "Carry the peace and warmth of day, and carry my sorrow in kind... Tia, you're loved so much more than you know... Forgive me for being so blind," I sang.

Even though the people don't know it, I love my sister- even though we make mistakes sometimes. But, if only I was able to help Celestia, then she wouldn't have ended up like this...

"Soon did both princesses take notice that others did not give the Sun princess her due, and neither had loved her as she deserved... They watch as Celestia's tyranny grew..." We sang in unison.

"But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly takes the mind of both hosts... And the foolish princesses did nothing to stop the destruction of one who needed them most..." I sang as Twilight makes the sun set.

I make the moon rise into the sky. "Lullay Sun princess, goodnight sister mine... And rest now in sunlight's embrace... Bear upon my lullaby, winds of the earth... Through clouds, and through skies, and through space..." I sang.

"Carry the peace and warmth of day, and carry my sorrow in kind... Tia, you're loved so much more than you know... May troubles be far from your mind... And forgive us for being so blind," Twilight sang.

"The years... Before us, fearful and unknown... We'd never imagined that we'd face them on our own... May these thousand winters swiftly pass, we pray... We love you, and we miss you... All these miles away... May all your dreams be sweet tonight, safe upon your bed of sunlight... And know not of sadness, pain, or care... And when we dream, we'll fly away and meet you there... Sleep..." We finished as the moon rises into the middle of the sky.

Meanwhile, Celestia, though she is still corrupted by Solar Flare, hears the lullaby from Luna and Twilight... She decides to reply to them with a song...

Normal P.O.V

Celestia sighs as she thinks about her actions and how they have affected the land of Equestria. Solar Flare is to blame for the fear of potential usurpers and such, but Celestia couldn't put a finger on it just yet... Knowing that she'll be in Solar's grip for a thousand years.

"How my deeds pain me as time stretches long, how could I have hurt them this way? So, rest easy now, my punishment's mine... The fears of mine are not really true... But, into the stillness, you brought me your song... As you did long ago in your former exile... With your voice and my company kept for your tired eyes and sweet lullabies... In my exile, I pay you my debt..." She sang.

She knows that Twilight will take responsibility for most sun rises and sun sets. Her fears never came true, but it is her imagination and the untrue lies that have caused her to become a tyrant.

"Once did a princess that shone like the sun, look out on her kingdom... Angrily, she shouted 'why does everyone hate my day and love my sister's night so much more?!' So great was her tyranny, that she forced the other princesses off the thrones... And turned against those that love her most... She let her tyranny fall upon her, and becomes only more cruel as the days and nights pass... She even threatened to trap the citizens in permanent heat..." She sang.

Celestia wishes that she could have fought her fears, but they became too much for her to handle. "Lullay dear Luna, and lullay dear Twi, goodnight... Rest now in limelight's embrace. May this warm lullaby reach you in your dreams, and ease your passage of days, may my apologies find you tonight, and may my sorrow in kind... Girls, you loved me so much more than I know... How could I not be able to reconsider my actions?" She sang.

The flames around her continue to flicker as Solar Flare watches her sing. "That's pathetic, knowing that you'll never be accepted ever again," Solar remarked.

"Soon the princesses did what was demanded, and gave to the sunlight their due... Breaking the harmony, they saved the kingdoms... And banished her as the wise rulers must do... Such is the weight of the crown we wear, dearest Luna and dearest Twilight, duties we always uphold... May you forgive me that tyranny mine and live on with no burden on your souls," Celestia sang as she ignores Solar Flare's words.

She uses her magic to build a palace, where she will sleep for a while. "Lullay dear Luna, and lullay dear Twi, goodnight... Rest now in limelight's embrace. May this warm lullaby reach you in your dreams, and ease your passage of days, may my apologies find you tonight, and may my sorrow in kind... Girls, you loved me so much more than I know... How could I not be able to reconsider my actions?" Celestia sang.

She walks into the recently built palace, and enters the tower to look into space. "You'll never turn back," Solar Flare said, "That's just cheesy remorse. They don't want you at all."

"Fine. I might as well have revenge on them someday," Celestia finally said as she turns her attention back to the window.

She once again starts to sing the lullaby. "The space now, before us, empty and forlorn... I never imagined that I'd face them all alone... May those moonless seasons swiftly pass, I pray... I love you, and I miss you, all these miles away... May all your dreams be sweet tonight, safe upon that bed under the moonlight, and not know of heartache, fear, nor gloom... And when I dream, I'll fly away to meet you soon... Sleep..." She finished.

Luna's P.O.V

As Celestia finishes her lullaby, Twilight falls asleep as a result. I carry her into the absent bedroom that is once my sister's room, and I lay her gently upon the bed. "Day has passed, don't you shed a tear... For you will see her again someday... Hear me sing, and carry my lullaby, til your dreams are filled with happiness..." I sang, "She has told you goodnight... Meet her in your dreams, and I'll also be right there during the night... And sleep..."

I quietly walk out of the room, and then I enter the balcony. "My dearest sister... You shall be released from Solar Flare someday," I whispered to the sky.
