For a few moments, Luna stared into the mirror, puzzled about what had happened, before shaking her head again.

"No! No dwelling, no doubting, just no! I do NOT have feelings for Twilight, she's a dear friend, nothing more!" She stated with an air of finality. After a short pause, as if waiting to see if anything else would happen, she rose and, still somewhat in shock and very confused, began to get ready, feeling off, as if something was wrong, then her stomach clearly made it's presence known.

"Very well, you first..." She said to her stomach, feigning a sigh, before turning on a dime and heading towards the door.

Stepping into the hall, she was surprised to see a pair of day guards standing on either side of her door, and they too, were surprised to see her, clearly flinching at the door opening, the smaller of the two holding a hoof to his chest

"Oh, sorry to startle you, Sirs" She apologized quickly, with a slight giggle to herself

"No, Ma'am, it's quite alright, we just weren't expecting you at this time of day, is all" the larger responded with a smile, having quickly regained his composure

Luna's smile fell, and morphed into slight confusion, "Why is that? What's the time?"

"It's twelve-thirty in the afternoon, your Majesty" the smaller responded, his breathing finally beginning to steady

"Oh, that explains a few things... Uh..." She started to inquire, before drawing a blank "Sorry, I should've asked sooner, but what are your names? Oh, and do either of you know where my sister is currently?"

"I am Ferrum, and this is my younger brother, Lithos" the larger replied, "However, I don't know where she is currently, but the last I knew, she was going through some petitions in her chambers, I don't know if she's left yet, though"

"Well, I guess that's where I'll start, thank you" She replied with a small nod of appreciation, and set off towards Celestia's room, only to pause when she heard hoofsteps approaching, turning back to face the two guards, she raised her eyebrow at them

"Sorry Ma'am, but protocol states that you and your sister are to be accompanied by an escort of two guards minimum, and seeing as there's nobody else to do so, the two closest guards are allowed to leave their post" Ferrum explained, as if he thought he was about to have to defend his decision

"It's quite alright, Ferrum" Luna replied with a small smile, " Let's go, then"

Upon reaching her sisters bedchamber, she heard a peculiar sound... laughing, but it wasn't just Celestia's laughter...

"Tia? It's me, do you have a minute?" She asked through the large double doors

Then something happened that really confused her, Discord was who answered it!

"Oh, excuse me, just leaving" he said with a small chuckle to nopony in particular

Luna arched an eyebrow at him, before shrugging it off, 'That is a question for a later date' she decided, before continuing on into Celestia's room

Inside she saw stacks of papers on either side of her bed, with her sister laying between them, a pair of spectacles on her nose, and a wide grin on her muzzle, when she saw her sister however, her grin turned to a look of slight concern

"Luna, you're up quite late, is something wrong?"

"Well, yes and no, it's slightly complicated"

"Oh? How so?"

"It's about Nightmare Moon..."

At the mention of that name, Celestia sat up straighter, visibly tensing, after a moment of processing, she responded "What? That's not possible, she's gone"

"Well, not according to her" Luna countered, "Let me start at the beginning..."

Author's Notes:

I'm sorry, I feel like such a jerk for failing y'all with the updates...
Definitely not as good a chapter as you deserve, but at least it's a chapter, right?
