"So do I have to do this again?" asked Luna as she trudged along behind her sister.
Celestia let out a sigh "This is the tenth time you've asked. You have to do this because you've done something bad and when ponies do something bad they need to be punished."
The two alicorns approached the large wooden doors that led to the main hall. Before Celestia could make it to the door however Luna rushed ahead and placing herself between her older sister and the door. Knowing she had little time to save herself from a fate worse than Death.
"But sister you never gave me a chance to defend myself." she said attempting to stall her sister long enough for her to think of a long term solution.
Celestia was well aware of her sister’s intention. She was also aware that Luna had no defense. However she was in need of a good laugh.
"Okay than Luna, give me one reason to justify blowing up have the castle."
"It was only one third of the castle" Luna said awkwardly.
Celestia glared at the moon goddess
"You have one minute if you are unable to convince me than you'll have to march into the room and face your punishment with what little dignity you still have."
"Okay" Luna stammered "The reason I blew up part of the castle was...." Luna did her best but her mind kept drawing blanks. Deep down inside she knew she had no actual reason for what she'd done, or more accurately what her and Discord had done. At the time it seemed quite funny. Discord had conjured up some of his special chocolate milk which they placed under Nightmare's bed. Not enough to cause major damage to the castle, just enough to send her half way to Las Pegasus. However they might have over done it with the milk. Either way it had been four days since they last saw Nightmare. Luna was quickly snapped out of thought by a hoof waving in front of her.
"Equestria to Luna, do you read me? Come in Luna." her sister finished with a giggle.
"Huh... What?" asked the slightly dazed Alicorn.
"30 seconds and you still haven't told me anything thing."
The princess of the Moon began to panic. She had no defense, heck she didn't even have a window to jump out of.
Pony feathers she swore to herself If Nightmare were here she'd be able to sweet talk her out of this.
"So Luna your times up, what do you have for me?" Celestia said smugly.
"Buck it" She answered flatly "I've got nothing."
Celestia's expression quickly became serious "Than Princess Luna of Equestria due to your crime against Equestria and to my trip to Las Pegasus which I now have to postpone. I find you guilty and you shall serve out your sentence within the castle wa...”
"You really enjoy being a judge don't you?" interrupted Luna
Celestia's face quickly changed from serious back to her normal cheerful one.
"Just a little." She said with a chuckle. "Let us go, so you may serve out your punishment."
"Fine." The night princess said with a sigh before stepping away from the door.
With the familiar golden flare of Celestia's horn the door began to open. Luna closed her eyes and braised herself whatever waits beyond that door could possibly be the worst thing ever. However nothing happened, but Luna didn't dare to open her eyes she knew it could be anything including another cockatrice. Last time Celestia had hid one in her bathroom. It had taken her seven hours to remember the reversal spell. She knew if she opened her eyes now it meant infinite suffering.
Several minutes passed and nothing happened. Luna began to wonder if maybe it wasn't that bad after all, with all her courage and will power Luna opened her eyes. What she saw stunned her, where once only her sister stood there were now several smaller unfamiliar foals and one very familiar black Alicorn.
"Sister what is the meaning of this?" asked the extremely confused Luna.
"Oh what ever do you mean dear sister?" answered Celestia with a sly grin.
"I thought you said I was going to be punished, instead you lead me to a room of foals.” Luna's expression quickly shifted to one of pure terror. "Please don't tell me I have to foal sit them, you know I'm not good with children."
Celestia let out soft chuckle "No sisters you do not have to foal sit them. Your punishment is much simpler than that. You see these are the children of the castle staff and guards most of the time they are off in the castle play area. However since you and Discord decided to blow it up these foals have nothing to do for most of the day."
Nightmare leaned in, pulling Celestia closer to her. "Did they really blow up the Foals play area?" she asked with a hoof over her mouth in an attempt to keep Luna from reading her lips.
"Nope" Celestia said with a grin "I'm well aware of the risks within the castle I personally placed the barriers over that portion of the castle myself. Not even a god could crack those barriers."
"Hello?" Interrupted Luna
"Oh where was I?" Celestia said with another chuckle "Oh yes, since you two left these children with nothing to do for most of the day. I've decided that it is only fair if you entertain them yourself."
"Wait!" Shouted Luna "If this is supposed to be both of our punishment than where is Discord? Secondly how am I supposed to entertain seven foals for most of the day?"
Before Celestia could begin answering Luna's questions Nightmare began to speak.
"First off since both of you felt the need to disturb my sleep I've decided to personalize the punishment. Discord is currently the center piece of a garden belonging to a cheerful purple sea serpent in the middle of the ever free forest. To answer your second questions it's quite simple really. All you have to do is read a story to these foals each day."
Luna perked up "Well that's not a problem at all, I enjoy read and we have a big selection of books.....in the....library, aw pony feathers that blew up didn't it?"
Nightmare and Celestia both nodded in unison.
"So what am I suppose to read to them?" asked the now heartbroken Luna.
Celestia shrugged "You're a being of infinite age; you have to have something stored in that head of yours." With a flash Celestia vanished leaving Luna to fend against Nightmare Moon and seven foals.
"Okay than let’s get comfortable as I think of a story for us." With a flash of her horn the Center of the room was filled with pillows and chairs.
"So does anybody have a favorite story? Maybe I know it too." Luna asked hopefully
Nightmare hoof quickly shot up "Pick me! Pick me!" she repeated.
"No Nightmare I will not tell them the story of how we tried to conquer Equestria and bring about eternal night." Luna said sternly.
"Aw" Nightmare sighed a look of disappointment on her face "But it's a classic"
Luna's face lit up. "I've got a great story; it was one Celestia use to tell me when we still lived in the Everfree castle."
Luna's magic began to form into a cloud above her head. At first many of the foals were a little nervous as the lights began to die out in the room. Noticing this she used her magic to relight some of the candles scattered around the room.
"Do not worry my little ponies; this is the tale of Woona. The most adorable princess to ever live. Not only is she the most adorable princess she's also the best princess, do you want to know why?"
Several of the foals nodded their heads.
"The reason Woona is the best princess is simple, she is princess of the moon. Now you might think that's a ridiculous thing to be princess of moon, but you should know the moon is the most interesting place ever. Now listen as I tell you the story of Woona and her adventures stuck on the moon.
"That sound a lot like another Princess I know." Nightmare said glaring at her.
"Quiet you!" Luna snapped
With a flare of her horn the purple cloud of magic above her began to form into an image.
"Any resemblance to famous Alicorn ether Living or Dead is purely coincidental and should be ignored because Nightmare Moon is a big meanie therefore whatever she says is wrong." Luna quickly blurted out
