The curtains opened and all the lights of the room pointed at the top of the stairs.

"Introducing our Regent of the Night....Prrrrrrincesss Lunaaaaa!!!"

Luna took a few small and graceful steps to the stairs, stood her chest proud and announced. "GREE-ejem! Greetings our beloved subjects. May this celebrations brought joy and enlightenment."

The ponies respectul clop their hooves except for six young mares who cheered wildly like if they were in some pedestrian sports event.

Luna descended to the floor and smiled at her sister, proud to have been able to keep the volumes at tolerable standard.

"So glad you decided to appear, Luna." Celestia said.

"Of course. It would have been disrespectful of ours to ignore our subjects." she said and walked to the crowd, royal snout high as she greeted all the high society ponies. Luna was actually comfortable sticking to protocol so when PInkie PIe dragged her to the dance floor she was a little disoriented.

"Come on Princess, shake those hooves!!"

The ponies of Canterlot were a bit disturbed of the loud and rude manners of the Elements of Harmony so Luna searched from her sister approval before dancing. After receiving a single nod, Luna stood on her hind legs and extended a hoof waiting for a partner. She received Applejack who decided to show her what an Appleloosan dance was. Luna was a bit shaken but after being released she got a much more fitting partner on Rarity who at least knew what constitutes a waltz. Still, the movements of the Princess were stiff and old-fashioned and even Rarity had problems keeping up. As the dance continued the ponies began to stop and stare, causing Rarity to blush and Celestia to facehoof. Finally after a series of turns and bows, Luna stopped.

Silence.

"HAHAHAHA what was that?!"

Suddenly realizing that all the looks were on her, and not precisely looks of admiration; Princess Luan excused herself and basically flew to the garden.

"Rainbow!" Twilight chastised her.

"What?" Rainbow looked at her friend and the Princess. "What?”

In the garden, Princess Luna was hiding behind the statue of Friendship, trying her best to contain her tears of embarrassment.

"Princess?"

"Leave us be, Twilight Sparkle."

Instead, Twilight approached her. "The Dance of the Leaves. Its been a thousand years since the last time it was performed."

"You...knew that dance?"

"Of course. I read it in a book."

"Of course..." Luna murmured.

"It was beautiful, Princess." Twilight said, placing a hoof on her shoulder.

"The ponies disagree. Their looks showed confusion and disgust."

"Well, it was a little bit outdated so it came as a surprise. But I assure you´re a great dancer."

Princess Luna finally smiled. "Thank you, Twilight Sparkle. Could I...ejem! Could we ask a request from you?"

"Anything you want, Princess."

"Can you teach us newest forms of dance?"

Twilight practically beamed, so happy to teach a lesson. Any lesson. "Okay Princess follow my lead!"

Luna tried to but gave up after a few seconds. "Is that....how modern dance looks like?"

"Well, I may have improvised a few moves. Added a little bit of Sparkle!" she seemed proud of that. " The important thing Princess is to have fun. It doesn´t matter what other ponies think as long as you´re enjoying yourself."

"Oh so that is why you make yourself look as a buffon!"

"What? I do not look like a buffoon! I´m a good dancer!"

Twilight continued to defend her moves, further confusing Luna. Celestia watched the scene from afar and smiled. Luna was slowly catching up with the times and she had plenty of friend to help her do so.
