"Princess! Princess, wake up!"

The curtains were opened and Luna felt the light directly in her face. It hurt.

"Rise and shine sleepy-head! Come on, up Princess!"

"I told you already to not call me Princess, Cherry Pie..."

"Uuups, sorry! But I´m so excited! Today I´m going to make a rainbow! A rainboooooow!" and the pink pegasus flew off the roof.

Luna got up slowly and moved to the mirror. She still found strange the sight of her head without the crown and horn. She had chosen to kept her wings, she couldn´t give up the joy of flight. She wondered why Celestia had chosen to be an earth pony but Tia was strange like that.

She went downstairs and found her caretaker soaring across the room, either making food or causing a small tornado. Luna slowly sit down in the chair as breakfast was served at the speed of lighting.

"I´m so excited!! Are you excited? Because I´m so excited! DId I mention I´m excited?"

"You remind me of your great-grandmother even more each passing day."

Cherry Pie giggled. " Grandma Pinkie said that the Princess was the best student she ever had. Well not you Princess the other Princess but she also was called Princes but didn't like to be called Princess.."

Cherry Pie kept on rambling while Luna finished her breakfast.

After breakfast she helped the feeble pegasus to put on her uniform and escorted her to the Weather Factory. During the ride there, Luna took the time to watch around Cloudsdale. The city hasn't changed that much from when it was funded, statues of Commander Hurricane replaced by statues of Captain Dash. Cherry Pie helped Luna move into the factory and flew into the rainbow sector while Luna walked into the literal eye of the storm.

She watched the clouds roar and the lightnings dance. She remembered the first storm that ever hit Equestria.

"BEHOLD OUR LOYAL SUBJECTS THY PRINCESS HAS BROUGHT YOU...STORM!!!!!"

The fear, the screams, the sorrow.

"Why, Tia? Why are they afraid of me?"

A young colt touched her shoulder, bringing her back to present times.

"You calculations were correct, director. The storm is a success!"

She smiled at him. She couldn't even remember the name of this colt so she just patted his head. That seemed to be enough to brought a smile to his face.

Luna watched the storm be released, all the ponies in the factory dancing and cheering around. So many smiles. So many happy smiles.

Luna fainted.

"Luna! Luna! Princess, please do something!"

Luna was about to tell Cherry Pie to stop calling her Princess when she noticed a lavender hoof stroking her face. She looked up and found a gentle and caring face looking back. A shiny crown and a glowing purple mane.

"Rest well, my friend." said the gentle voice.

Luna looked back at Cherry Pie. Please, do not cry. Just smile. That´s it, smile with me.

Luna closed her eyes.

She smiled.
