The music of the spheres was set in tune as Princess Luna placed the silver orb right in the middle of the sky and circled it with stars bringin night to the kingdom.

“Congratulations dear sister. It seems even after a thousand years away you still have the touch!”

“Thank thee, dearest sibling.”

“But you still need to work on your speech...” Princess Celestia was then assaulted by a powerful yawn. “ Well, I better call it a night. I´m sure you can take care of anything from here, Luna.”

THe Princess of the Night nodded while the Sun Bringer left the balcony and went inside her chambers. Celestia levitated  her crown and boots and gently got inside her blankets on  fashion Rarity will approve. She carefully placed her head on the pillows and was then hit by a terrible realization.

“...I can´t sleep.”

****

Spike was used to been awake by a Twilight having one of her night frenzies but this was the first that they were awake by Princess Celestia sudden arrival.

“I´m not sure how I can help you, Princess...” Twilight admitted.

“Oh but Twilight, I just can´t sleep! After a thousand years of keeping both the day AND the night together I just developed a natural resistance to getting asleep!” the Princess pulled her eyelids in desperation.

“You mean you never sleep in a thousand years? Not one night?” Spike asked.

“Well, I have slept some...” Celestia admitted.

This caused a flashback on Tiwlgiht whor emembered her giving a greta lesson and the Princess just snoring.

“I just don´t know what to do!” the Princess sobbed.

“Don´t worry Princess. I´m sure we can find some way to get you to sleep.”

“Fluttershy has the sweetest voice in all of Equestria. I bet just hearing her lullaby once will send you straight into dreams land.”

“Hush now quiet now, it´s time to lay your sleepy head.  ♪ Hush now quiet now it´s time to go to bed ♫”

“...that´s it?” Celestia complained.

“Well, I´m usually interrupted on this part so I don't know the rest of the song.” Fluttershy confessed.

*****

“A glass of warm milk will get you straight to bed, Princess!”

“I sure hope so!”

“Of course we can help yah, Princess! Big Mac, why doncha grab a milk bucket?”

“Eeeeyup!”

Of course, sending a male pony on a cow´s barn while they were all sleeping to get some surprise milk was a terrible idea.

*****

“Rarity will surely have some advices on how to get a beauty sleep.”

Celestia merely nodded while Twilight knocked on the Boutique.

“YES?!”

“AAAHHH!! Bad idea bad idea!!!”

*****

“Rainbow Dash is always napping during the day. Maybe she has some advice on what to during a restless night”

Princess Celestia levitated Twilight to the cloud house and they were surprised to find the door unlocked.

“....”

“....Let´s face it Twilight, this is not the worst thing you have caught me doing.”

“Is that a Daring Do costume?” Celestia asked.

******

“...and then I went back to the market but oh surprise! I still was two bits short so I went back to the Cakes and they told me they didn´t had any spare change so I went to Rarity's because she is always carrying money but she told me she only had Griffon change and of course wasn't going to use that and...”

Twilight was already drooling but Celestia remained perfectly still. After all, she was immortal so she had literally all the time in the world to listen even the most boring of stories.

****

Twilight fell to her bed in frustration “That's it! We have tried everything! I can't think of anything else to do!”

“It´s okay Twilight. I appreciate you ef-”

“Wait! There´s something we haven´t tried!”

“Oh there is?” Celestia asked confused.

“Yes, according to all the books I have read there is no way to stay awake after doing this!”

“And what would that been?” Celestia regretted asking that question once she saw Twilight moving the blankets away and inviting her over the bed.

*****

The next morning, a squad of the Royal Guard led by Princess Luna went to Ponyville, demanding to know what was up with Celestia.

They found her arguing with a projector while Twilight and Spike have given up looong ago.

“Please, just get inside the Enterprise! Just do it! Do something! Do something!”

“Thank heavens she is not watching the J.J. Abrams one...”
