Late in the morning, Zelda woke up and walked out of Sugarcube Corner. She felt like a nomad, going from place to place just to sleep somewhere. The delicious smell of cinnamon wafted into her nose as she looked to the right. "I wonder if they have anything to give me," She said. "I don't know about their currency, though."

She saw a few stallions walk past her, and thought for a moment as she noticed the coins in their saddlebags. Maybe that was the currency of Equestria... She smirked, and activated her magic to take some of the coins when they weren't looking. Zelda trotted away to the building with the delicious smell, and entered the building. "She's not Celestia. Why does she even come here?" A mare whispered.

"She could be working for the agents of evil," A stallion said. "Don't be fooled by her. She may seem-"

"I'm not evil. I think you're just referring to a villain that I knew from another world," Zelda objected.

"Such cruelty and sharpness," Another stallion commented.

Zelda gazed at them with scorn, turned her head away, and walked to the counter, where an old mare was hiding, cowering in fear of the alicorn's presence. "Rise," Zelda commanded. "And I will pay you for serving me. What are you serving this morning?"

"Uh, um... I am serving cinnamon rolls and some cherry pancakes. Which d-do y-you want?" The mare replied.

"I will have the cinnamon rolls this morning. I'll also have a glass of wine."

"Actually, they don't go together-"

Zelda flashed out her wings, and stared into her eyes. "It doesn't matter. I haven't ate all morning because I was tired last night from staying up for a slumber party," She said.

"O-okay... H-here you go..." The old mare quickly gave the cinnamon rolls and a glass of wine to the alicorn.

Zelda levitated a few coins and placed them onto the counter. "Thanks," She finished coldly as she trotted to a lone table next to the window. Link walked into the building, and proceeded to sit next to Zelda.

"How was the party?" Link asked. "It's a bummer when I don't get to see that nocturnal beauty..."

"Maybe you'll see her sometime. Trust me, she's not always busy. She could make time for you if she had a break from her duties," Zelda replied. "How did you sleep? Did you have any strange dreams?"

"I had a dream in which Twilight and her friends were kidnapped by a fiery mare, and the fiery mare tried to convince Princess Luna into joining the dark side. And another dream came along, involving the banishment of the fiery mare. The dreams seemed so real that I wanted to warn Princess Luna about that mare."

"She may not believe you at first, for she loves her sister, and..."

"Some ponies mentioned a few things about her sister's current attitude towards the night and the whole kingdom of Equestria."

"You're not saying..."

"That is true. There were reports of Celestia losing her head at the slightest mention of her sister or the night. There was a speculation about Celestia becoming the next 'Nightmare Moon,' because the days were longer and hotter than usual this season."

"Actually, I believe that it's late summer. Fall is coming soon. Stop being so clueless, Link."

"I can't help it."

"That's because you're not Celestia."

Zelda then paid attention to the other conversations in the building. She heard one of them talking about Celestia and Luna.

"I wonder what Celestia would call her evil side once she goes rogue as her sister once did... Daymare Sun, Blazing Ember, Deadly Sunburn, Radiant Sun, Dark Flame, Blackhole Sun, or maybe even Solar Flare. She is getting worse every month, and I'm nervous about going to the gala next Friday. What if she suddenly snapped?" A mare said.

"Don't worry. Luna would know what to do if that happens. She can protect us, as she did with the young ones in their dreams," A stallion reassured.

"And if Luna can't bring herself to stop her sister's dark side?"

"Then Twilight and her friends would do the slack for the moon princess."

Suddenly, a mare on the television started speaking. "I must inform you that a severe heat wave is now all over Equestria. The sun's rays are able to pententrate through the windows to push the harsh heat into buildings and vehicles. Anypony who dares venture outside will easily get sunburned. I advise you to stay indoors as much as possible with proper air conditioning, despite the high costs of air conditioning," She warned.

"Damn you, Celestia!" A stallion shouted.

"Now I can't enjoy a walk in the park," A mare complained.

"Darn it. I was planning to go into the forest this afternoon for some crusading," A filly moaned.

"What a buzzkill. I was planning to throw my graduation party at the beach," Another mare muttered.

Zelda and Link could sense the negativity surge through the room, because most of the ponies seemed either disappointed or angry with the sun and the heat. "Oh, let's get out of here," Zelda muttered to Link. "This place is just being so negative."

They walked outside, and felt the extreme heat touching their bodies. It was possibly about a hundred and few degrees out today, which could be a concern, since global warming could equal drought and many other deadly events. There could be a genocide, too. They walked out of the town, and soon found themselves in the country area. They saw a familiar group of ponies and approached them. "Hello," Zelda said.

"Hi," Twilight and her friends replied in unison.

"Didn't you hear of the warning about today's weather?" Link asked.

"Yes, but we have to meet together and discuss ways to solve the problem," Twilight said.

"We can't talk forever. Look, the crops are dying out," Apple Jack admitted.

"For some strange reason, Celestia decreed that there would be no rain blocking the sun today," Rainbow Dash complained. "I hope that doesn't happen again."

"Some of my animals became sick from the extreme heat," Fluttershy whispered.

"This dreadful heat is giving me a bad hair day. And I'm sweating, which is disgusting," Rarity whined.

"I don't know what to say, but it's better than winter anyways," Pinkie Pie quipped.

"It's not good," Zelda reminded her. "Some ponies are suffering from the cruel heat today!"

"Now, I can't wait for Luna's cool night. The heat is killing me," Link admitted.

"I don't know what we're going to do. Should we send a letter to Celestia about this?" Apple Jack groaned.

"I think we should, but she wouldn't listen nowadays. Something's on her mind and there's no reason for her to be jealous of Luna for getting more praise," Twilight confided.

"What should we do?" Rarity asked. "You're our princess, Twilight. You can do something. You can easily convince Celestia."

"What if she doesn't listen?"

"Then we must protest against all of that, and-" Rainbow Dash started.

"No! We still need the heat and the sun," Fluttershy interrupted.

"Fluttershy, this is an issue, and it's nothing beneficial!" Rainbow narrowed her eyes at the yellow pegasus.

"Oh, come on now! Twilight, think of something!" Apple Jack forced.

"At least we have air conditioning. Duh!" Pinkie interjected.

"The animals won't survive in the cruel heat," Fluttershy reminded them.

"This heat is so dreadful! My date will surely reject me tonight," Rarity complained.

"Don't pressure Twilight too much. Give her time," Zelda told them.

"Listen to Zelda," Link added in.

The group argued for about an half hour, and finally, Twilight snapped big time. "Guys, guys! That's enough! I need time to think! I'm not Celestia, but I have to think about your words and how you feel about the sun and the heat! And I may send a letter to her to remind her of the severity of today's heat!" Twilight bellowed, causing the group to become as silent as night.

She took out a scroll and a quill, and started writing a message. "Dear Celestia, I'm writing to you about the extreme heat and the excess sunlight. I know it's summer, but you have to be easy on us. There's no need to take it out on Luna and her night... That will hurt her feelings and I don''t want to go through another Nightmare Moon crisis. Also, slumber parties are not about night worship like you thought. I think you're just being disrespectful without knowing it," She said as she finished the letter.

She sent the letter, and a scroll appeared in front of her. She started reading, and she gasped loudly. "Celestia won't listen," Twilight exclaimed.

"What?" Apple Jack asked in shock. "We need to get Celestia's mind straight. She didn't seem like her usual self!"

"Oh, my..." Fluttershy whispered.

"This can't be true!" Rarity complained.

"No... More... Slumber... Parties?" Pinkie Pie asked with sadness.

"Maybe her sister knows about what's really going on. We may ask her for advice, but she might be sleeping and won't be awake at this time of day," Rainbow Dash suggested. "Tell us what the letter says, anyways."

"Alright, in the letter, she said that she isn't doing anything to hurt Luna and thought herself correct to delay the coming of her sister's night. She didn't even apologize about not going to the slumber party with Luna. Also, Celestia wrote this complaint about the fact that many more ponies are anticipating the arrival and coming of night. She also despised the fact that the ponies were shunning her day and its warmth," Twilight said.

"What was in her mind this time? Has she gone delusional?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't think she might have, but I think Luna will have the answers. She'd speak kindly of Celestia, unlike you. You jump to conclusions without thinking, Rainbow. Luna makes more logical and wise points because she had years of experience and she knew her sister really well."

"But she had to be sent away as Nightmare Moon long ago, though."

"Luna is not evil anymore, okay? I've said that many times, especially during Nightmare Night one time."

As the group spoke, the day slowly and unwillingly passed as the sun prepared to set into the horizon. The coolness of the coming night filled the world, and made the ponies filled with relief as the moon started to rise into the darkening sky. "Whew, finally," Rainbow said. "At least the day didn't last forever."

"Yeah. That would have caused drought and destroyed the crops," Apple Jack agreed.

"The night came. Let's celebrate," Pinkie exclaimed.

"This isn't a time to celebrate yet. We're getting into a serious and sticky situation," Rarity objected. "And I'm going to meet my date after I take a cold shower."

"I must go home to check on my animals. Some of them winded up in the vetinary hospital because of the extreme heat," Fluttershy spoke.

"I may speak to Luna on the behalf of her sister. She may listen and understand," Twilight said.

"I'll follow you," Link said.

"Why are you always aiming to see Luna?" Zelda asked.

"Because I like her."

"You always did that whenever you have a crush on a dark princess!"

"Not always. Midna tried to use me one time, and Hilda tried to get the Triforce from us so that she could restore Lorule. At least you and I didn't give in."

"Hilda was successful though. She stole it, and I couldn't struggle. Perhaps if I was much stronger, then she would not take the Triforce at all."

Zelda and Link followed Twilight to Canterlot Castle, and entered the castle's throne room. Luna was sitting upon the throne, and gazed at the citizens before her. She was smiling as she watched them come close to her. "Greetings, Twilight. Is there a problem you need to tell me about? I've heard recent complaints about how cruel the heat was to them. Some ponies suffered from heatstroke today, and a few got an illness from the heat," Luna started.

"Yes. Every time I sent a letter to convince Celestia to stop doing this, she would not listen," Twilight replied. "Was she the same around you?"

"Of course. Celestia would snap at me from time to time, and it's getting worse. I have a fear that she would go rogue someday." Luna sighed deeply as her expressive eyes saddened for a moment.

"What would you do, then?" Zelda asked.

"I wouldn't want to banish her, but I don't want her to be a danger to Equestria, either. I can't imagine her plunging the world into an eternal daylight, where the crops would suffer, and drought would be worldwide," Luna confided.

"Me either. If her evil side was too much for us to stop, then we have to do what we have to do, as Celestia once did with Nightmare Moon long ago," Twilight admitted.

"I'd feel alone again if I banished my sister to the sun for many years."

"Don't worry. There are friends that will stick by you," Link reassured Luna.

A tear streamed down Luna's left cheek as she frowned for a moment. "If trying to release Celestia from the Forces of Darkness won't release her, then... she would not be here to rule by my side and to stand up for me. And the upcoming Autumn Moon Celebration would feel like a funeral. I don't want to banish Celestia someday... I just... It'll be hard without her," She sobbed.

Luna was surprised to feel Twilight hugging her tightly, reminding her that it'll be alright and that Luna may go through this with strength. "Luna..." Twilight whispered.

"What's going on?" A youthful voice asked.

Zelda looked to the left, and noticed Midnight Glitter observing the situation before her. "Midnight, it'll be hard to see your mentor as not infallible, but a pony like all of us. But, you have to be strong for her sometimes, as she was for you," Zelda reminded her.

"Wait, what?" Midnight asked.

A few minutes after Luna stopped sobbing, she took a deep breath and proceeded to calm down. "Let's move on. I can't keep my subjects waiting," She said.

Twilight left, and Zelda and Link remained in the throne room. Midnight walked up to Luna, and started to speak. "Princess Luna, did something happen?" She asked.

"Well, Celestia is changing for the bad, so there is a possible chance that she may become evil. I might get forced to banish her someday if it happens," Luna replied. "Did you learn any lessons tonight?"

"Yes. I found that an older pony may seem infallible from just one glance, but once you get to know them, they're actually fallible, as they have emotions and they don't always win."

"Did Zelda tell you that?"

"Yes."

"Good, but you can't always depend on someone to learn a lesson that may be important later in life."

Luna turned her attention to Link and Zelda, and smiled benevolently. "You must remember this and understand... Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good. You'll know the meaning when something happens badly in sheer daylight," She said. "Good deeds and acts are sometimes done at night. I deal with nightmares, and I gave advice to a few fillies when I got into their dreams."

Midnight listened to their conversation, and a question popped up in her mind. "Are they going to be your students, too?" She asked Luna.

"No, but they have to learn from the wiser ones, be it any good morals or life lessons," Luna reminded her.

"Oh, I see."

Luna chuckled gently for a moment, and Midnight sat next to her. Once again, Luna glanced at Zelda and Link, and her mind started to focus on something. She stared into Link's eyes for a few seconds, and Link did the same. Luna blushed softly, and Link turned his head away shyly. They heard Zelda and Midnight giggling, possibly at the two that just locked eye contact.

"You'll probably be adorable together," Midnight said.

"From dark princess to dark princess, this always happens like this... Link meets a dark princess and develops a crush on her," Zelda agreed.
