Dawn woke up on a bench outside of their home,the moon was starting to set, she wondered how she got their. Dawn got up slowly to avoid headaches that came with if you did. She yawned and trotted on to the front door, opened it, and saw debris up the stairs. She investigated and saw that her room and half of the hallway were completely destroyed. She was in shock. She heard voices coming from the backyard, one sounded like Excaelum, the other sounded familiar. Dawn went downstairs and opened the door to the back where she saw an alicorn that she loved with all her heart.

"Princess Luna!!" She shouted excitedly as she ran to her to give her a hug.

"Dawn!" Luna replied happily. She wrapped her wings around Dawn.

"Do you mind telling me what happened?"

Excaelum opened his mouth,"I saw a beam of light behind me as I was above the clouds then I noticed it came from our place"s direction, I came back but as I saw the cottage in sight, it stopped. Luna brought you outside to ensure the place doesn't come down on you. You were out for at least 12 hours."

"You know we are going to have to fix this place before Shadow gets back." Luna said.

"Oh he won't do anything. And Excaelum I still don't know how a dragon your size gets around without being noticed."

"Really? Out of all what happened that's what curious about. Okay well, I use the sun to hide myself."

"I still do not know what happened to you Dawn. I mean, that was a kind magic I have not seen before. Where did you learn that?" asked Luna.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Were there any bystanders watching?"

"The whole frontier." said Luna.

"She yelled at them with what she calls her "Royal Canterlot Voice". Remember that ?"

"Oh come on, I didn't yell at them with that. At least not a lot."

Excaelum looked at her with a face that denied her statement.

"Okay, maybe I did, a lot. They left though so, it wasn't pointless."

Dawn asked,"What did you say?"

"I told them," Luna said it like she was going to reenact it,"CITIZENS," and she did,"YOU NEED NOT WORRY!! THIS IS TRADITIONAL CANTERLOT CEREMONY WHERE WE SHOOT A BEAM OF BEAUTY INTO THE SKY TO MARK THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY FIRST MOON RAISING!! GO BACK TO YOUR HOMES AND ENJOY THE NIIIIIIGHTTT!!"

"I see." Dawn stood there next by Excaelum staring at Luna awkwardly."I still need to know what I did. Do you think Celestia will know?"

"I don't think so. Big sister and I were never taught anything like that from Star Swirl the Bearded."

"We need to find somepony who does. Excaelum, do you have any idea on someone that can help?"

"No. I don't mingle around ponies much remember." he answered bluntly.

"Big sister should be raising the sun in a couple of hours. Let's start fixing this place."

"We can improve it while we're at it." Dawn suggested.

Excaelum replied,"Why?"

"So you can fit through the doors and have enough room to sleep in the living room."

"Well, how are we going to do that?" asked the dragon.

Luna made a comment,"Maybe Dawn could blow it up with her magic."

"Oh ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny Luna."

"It kind of is. I can just bring it down my claws and you and the princess can levitate the pieces so, it won't make any noise."

"Alright, let-" Dawn was interupted.

"I don't think it'd be wise for you to use your magic now Dawn. I can handle it, for now just relax. Ready Excaelum?"

They brought down what remains of the cottage in under 40 minutes. They waited for the sun to rise so, the can start with lighting. The sun rose and 50 ponies from the frontier came to help, Excaelum went to the Everfree to avoid being seen. The townsfolk were really helpful and, since they thought Dawn was hurt they did all the work and Luna oversaw their progress. Late afternoon, the frame of the house was completed. It had a second floor with two rooms, a study room, and a balcony. The first floor was built large enough for Excaelum, of course the townsfolk didn't know why they were building it that large. Luna told them to also build a library next by the future kitchen. Luna left to Canterlot and came back with the nicest furniture: a couch, 2 beds, chairs, rugs, lamps, etc. Luna came over to check on Dawn.

"Where did you get all those stuff?"

"Your dad's bed and the other things I got from a furniture store.'

"Where did my bed come from?"

Luna had a evil looking smirk on her face,"From a special furniture store. Hehehe."

Meanwhile at the Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia walked into her room, she saw something missing.

The evening was coming and surprisingly the new cottage was almost done. The townsfolk had nothing else planned so, they helped out the whole day. The only thing left to do was bringing in the furniture and they're done. Luna went inside to observe. Shadow came back with a friend.

"Hey, I'd like you to meet Ae-. What're they doing to the cottage?"

"Remodeling." Dawn answered.

"Wha-Why?"

"It kinda got destroyed."

Luna came back outside.

"Oh I see why." said Shadow.

"Shadow, didn't expect you to be here."

"Well, I live here so."

"Who's your friend?" Luna asked.

"Aero introduce yourself."

"Hello, Princess Luna." he bowed.

"Nice to meet you but, we'll continue this conversation later. I have to raise the moon."

"You didn't tell us you knew the princess." said Aero.

"Yeah, I kinda left that out didn't I?"

Dawn walked to the new house. Shadow and Aero followed.

"Wow. You two have a big place."

"It wasn't like this before Aero."

"Well, I didn't see the other look but I prefer this one. You have a library, a large living room, and nice kitchen. I wish I knew a princess."

"Let's check upstairs." Dawn said.

A few townsfolk were coming down the stairs. They just finished their job and now are returning home.

The first door Dawn opened lead to the study room, the 2nd her room.

"Why is that bed so big?" Aero exclaimed.

"And why does it have a sun at the top of the bed?" added Shadow.

"Luna said she got my bed from a 'special' furniture store."

"Let's check my room."

They went over the next room but, it lead to the balcony.

"Nice." Aero said.

They next door lead to Shadow's room.

"Why is my bed half the size as yours Dawn?"

"I don't know, ask the princess."

"I don't think I can handle another visit from her."

"I'm to rent a room at an INN. See you at Ice Valley Shadow. Bye Dawn it was nice meeting you."

They had a bit of trouble getting used to the new house, especially Shadow he was so used to the old version. The next day, Dawn and Shadow explored their new place. It was nicely polished. The rugs and carpets had a fresh fragrance. The kitchen was loaded with different utensils, pots, and had a basket of fresh fruit. The large front door was made so, that Excaelum was able to get in, it went well with the large living room. Luna was asleep on the couch that was comfortable as a bed. Shadow woke her up.

"Why did you come here princess?"

"Well, Dawn destroyed the house with a beam of light."

"That was her? I saw that beam from the clouds. How did you do it?"

"I don't know. How come you didn't come back father?" Dawn asked

"I saw a a shape in the sky and it looked like Luna; she went down there and it stopped so I thought she had it covered and stopped it."

"I didn't stop it. The magic faded away on it's own." Luna replied.

Shadow said,"Hopefully it doesn't happen the next time you come to visit."

"Hey, it's not like it happened because of me.

The three spent the rest of the day catching up on the years they had. Later that night Excaelum came inside.

"Well this is different." he said.
