Chapter 8: 8. A talk about the gala

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

One evening, as Zelda and Link were relaxing in the Canterlot Castle's living room, they heard footsteps coming in. Standing in the door was the regal princess of the night. "I came here to give you an invitation. You are coming to the gala next Friday. You will wear formal attire, and I'll be in the ballroom, waiting..." Luna started as she glanced at Link. She smiled softly and giggled for a few seconds.

Soon, Link found himself gazing into Luna's eyes. He was reminded of the infinite and endless night sky with many stars dotted across the sky, and the moon hanging high in the inky blackness. Her expressive eyes melted his heart and reminded him of a sort of longing... Possibly a longing for love.

Luna stared into Link's eyes, too. When she did, she was reminded of a strong and valiant knight that would be loyal to his friends and a certain maiden that he would possibly rescue from an enemy. She thought that Link was incredibly handsome, especially with that occasionally cocky smile of his.

Zelda watched as the two gazed at each other. Maybe I could play matchmaker on the night of the gala. Those two seem perfect for each other, She thought as she smirked knowingly.

"So, what will you be wearing on that night?" A familiar voice asked, scaring the daylights out of Luna, Link, and Zelda.

"I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were studying," Luna told Midnight. "Aren't you supposed to look for a certain book in the Canterlot Library?"

"I was trying to, but Celestia rushed in and shouted at me. She chased me out of the library, hollering obscenities at me," Midnight replied.

"That's not nice, is it? I'll see Celestia about this matter once I'm done with this conversation with Link and Zelda." Luna held her left wing to hide her adorable blush, and giggled softly as she turned her attention to Link and Zelda. The two heroes of Hyrule found it to be adorable, and Midnight thought that there may be something between Link and Luna.

Luna trotted into the hallway, and found Celestia crouching in a corner, muttering about something. "Celestia?" Luna asked softly. As she approached her, scenarios ran through her mind. Celestia could not respond at all and give the wall a blank stare. Maybe she could give Luna an evil glare with the hollowed eyes like in the horror movies. Even worse, Celestia could burst into flames and become Solar Flare, a terrifying mare of flames and eternal daylight.

"Go away," Celestia said emotionlessly.

"At least tell me what's wrong. You're not going to keep secrets from me forever."

"I said, go away. I can hear a thing or two about moon worship in the castle's living room."

"There's nothing about moon worship. We didn't even mention that subject."

"You invited them to the gala... TO ADORE YOU! WHY?"

Celestia lost her temper and whirled onto Luna. "You took all the love and you stole the spotlight! Now all the young ones in Equestria looked to you with awe because of your ability to control their dreams and to give them advice! I know the night would take all of the glory," She continued. "I bet the children are coming to the gala next Friday to worship you."

"I'm not a goddess, and neither are you," Luna replied. "So, stop with this thinking and keep the darkness from consuming your mind and soul."

"Shut up!"

"No! I know you're jealous, but-"

"I SAID, SHUT UP!"

Everything fell silent between the two sisters. Luna stared into Celestia's spiteful eyes, and Celestia stared into her concerned, yet stern eyes. "Tia, you don't have to be like this," Luna said as her eyes saddened.

"What I don't understand is the fact that those Cutie Mark Crusaders fell in love with the night after you came into their dreams. A pony even considered you to be his favorite princess. My former students and her friends once stared at the night sky with awe during the meteor shower. It was your night they all chose, not my glorious sunlight! They chose your night over my day! Ponies are afraid to be in the heat, and they would dare hide their eyes from my sun," Celestia retorted.

"There's still ponies that-"

"You already told me that, and the truth is that nopony would even watch the sun rising. They watch the sunset only to await your night! And, the Autumn Moon Celebration would basically start with partying all night and seeing through the night!"

"There's more to the celebration than that."

"Remember what happened those few weeks ago during the Summer Sun Celebration? Nopony would see the sun rise. They slumbered in homes, traveled away, and went to work!"

"Everypony was busy by then! You can't blame them!"

"Yes, I can!"

"Solar Flare was probably lying to you again, right?"

"She never lied. She only told-"

"Celestia! What have we done to deserve that kind of treatment?"

"Nothing. They deserve me, not you."

"Has power really corrupted you? What were your intentions, Tia?"

"Nothing. Go away, Luna."

Luna sighed hopelessly as she trotted back to the living room. It's possibly too hard being royal, right? Sometimes, she wished for a normal life where she and her sister weren't known well. That'd be easier for her to handle things with her sister...

Just then, she heard loud banging and clashing. She wondered what her sister did this time. She rushed to Celestia's room, and gasped at the sight. Everything was broken into pieces, and Celestia just broke the mirror. Glass was scattered across the floor, and the fabric was all over the place, and so was cotton. Tons of powdery makeup was in a heap next to the broken dresser. "Get out. It was nothing," Celestia muttered as her eyes narrowed at Luna.

"Stop lying," Luna pressed. "There's no reason to take out your anger on your possessions, too... Unless you strongly detest one of your possessions."

"I'm not going to the gala next Friday."

"Give them a chance!"

"I won't."

"Please..."

"No!"

"I'll share the spotlight-"

"Everypony would run to you and worship you!" Celestia's magic levitated Luna's crown and tossed it out the window.

Luna felt shocked for a moment. "Celestia! That was nasty of you to do this," She said as she flew out the window.


Cliffhanger... Because I don't have enough time. I was staying with an annoying relative and had to always go somewhere. I hate her so much! Anyways read and review. I also got writer's block because I always had to go somewhere. My annoying relative basically took me out of my sister's house and kept me there for the rest of the week.
