--//Chapter 3\\--

Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie all sat down while Rainbow Dash remained airborne, Princess Celestia immediately began looking for a book while Twilight and Spike rushed to the kitchen

“Princess Celestia would you like something?” Twilight asked her mentor

“No, thank you” was Celestia’s barely audible response.

Twilight asked everypony else, but neither of them wanted anything either. Princess Celestia, her attention drawn to the books, mumbled undecipherable words, the 7 (including Spike) soon began to chat to the others

“D’ya know what in tarnation she’s sayin or even doin here Twi?” Applejack whispered to Twilight but not taking her eyes off the Princess

“I don’t know Applejack” Twilight whispered back “But if I know Princess Celestia as well as I think I do, then I would say that if she comes inside you're Library and immediately starts to look through books, then we have a prob…”

“Twilight Sparkle…” The Princess began “Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie” The 6 of them immediately stopped their conversations as they raised their heads and leaned forward, craning their heads, dying to hear what the Princess has to say, Pinkie’s head extended like a telescope and she looked like she was going to topple over. The Princess gulped down on a lump that started rising in her throat, but she pushed on and said 3 words that generated uproars among the 6

“War is coming”.

“W…war?”

*CLUNK*

“What in tarnation?!”

“Huh?!”

“WHAT?!”

“Oh no!”

Fluttershy whimpered, Rarity was out cold, Applejack exclaimed, Rainbow Dash wore a facial expression of excitement and fear at the same time, Pinkie Pie screamed and Spike wailed. It was only Twilight who had her mouth agape, she wanted to say something but her throat was dry and no words came out of them, she just sat there, not believing at the piece of news that she was informed

“Yes” Princess Celestia sighed, she closed her eyes and continued “I guess it is time Twilight and to everypony, It is time to tell you why I banished Princess Luna to the moon, the real reason why”

“Hold on Princess” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as the Princess opened her mouth to begin the story “If we have war? Why does Princess Luna have to do with all this? I mean, is Princess Luna going to…”

Rainbow Dash stopped and her mouth was hanging open in shock at what she managed to piece together

“No Rainbow Dash, my younger sister is not the cause of all this war” Princess Celestia responded “*Sigh* I suppose it is time you heard what happened my little ponies, the truth”.

“I arrived at my new home” Princess Celestia began

All 7 of them starting at her keeping their ears pricked not willing to miss a single word

“I saw my…big sister” She raised a hoof as a few of the ponies opened their mouths

“And we played happily, I loved my big sister, she was so loyal to me, yet, my parents showed her no affection, I found this rather perplexing and I asked my parents why this was the case, but they were reluctant to answer. Years passed as my older sister grew more and more violent, my parents did nothing but negative effects to her, one day, my parents came home, with another baby, she, was Princess Luna, about 2 years few by within a matter of a heartbeat and me and Luna heard the loudest and longest fight between my big sister and my parents, we both cried, the next day, s…she left with a note saying “I’ll come back”, that message haunted me in my dreams, I hate my sister for leaving, I was still quite young and did not know the reason of her absence, but I did as my parents told Luna. A decade passed and I heard whispers in Luna’s room, I could only assume that my parents were talking to Luna since the 3 of them where nowhere to be found, I glued my ear towards the door and eavesdropped, I know I should not have done so, but…”

At this point, Princess Celestia’s eyes where puffy and red, drops after drops of tears relentlessly tricked from her while Alicorn face, she took a deep breath and continued, but a little weaker

“But I heard valuable information, that night, I learned that my parents gave birth to my bigger sister, she what not what they expected, they did not want her, she was a...a mistake. Luna took this information in without knowing her biggest sister well, I loved my big sister, she was everything in my fillyhood and I loved her with all my heart. A few years rolled by and Luna addressed this issue again while both of us sat under Luna’s moonlight, she was bringing out the stars. We argued for hours, ending in hatred, broken links between the 2 of us…things…got…a…”

Princess Celestia was resisting her temptation to burst into tears, she swallowed a lump building up and continued “A little, out of hoof…I was angry at Luna for taking my parents side that… I banished her to the moon for 1000 years”

She could not carry on anymore, she was shattered by this painful memory, she simple could not continue and burst into tears, and bowed her head until it reached Twilights hard, wooden library door, the 7 where all sniffing and crying as well, even Rainbow Dash who, with her best attempts, was crying, she tried to fight it but she simple could not resist

“I…” continued the princess taking several deep breaths “I could never forgive myself for the damage I have inflicted on Luna that day, the nightmares relentlessly haunted me for several hundred years”

She tried to regain her composure, she took several deep breaths, and politely asked Twilight for a tissue, she daubed her eyes quickly and calmly questioned

“Who here has any questions, if you do, please raise you hoof” Immediately, all 7 of them raised their hooves in the air, eager to find out more about who this “big sister” was.

“May I guess that each and everypony, and Spike, has the question “Who is MY big sister?”

All 7 where nodding like bobble heads on a bumpy road

"Well, it isn’t really easy to explain why, but…hold on…why are the light levels dropping?”

Everypony, and Spike, looked around and indeed, the light levels where dropping, Twilight looked at her clock hanging on a wall

“It’s only 3 in the afternoon!” Twilight exclaimed “What in the wide wide world of Equestria is going o…”

A thunderous rumble cut Twilight’s sentence short

“What in the hay was that?”

“Gahh!!!”

“*squeal*”

“Ahh!!”

*GASP*

Everypony looked towards Rainbow Dash who was surprised herself

“What?” she questioned everypony, and Spike, Twilight began

“Rainbow, YOU are the weather pony, hoW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?!”

Twilight’s shout rose to a yell as the winds forcing Twilight’s windows open. Anything that was not pinned down flew around the place as if a tornado was generating, the door, bursting open with a loud *BANG* Bits and pieces of loose items where dancing around the place. Everypony, and Spike, all yelled at the sudden change of weather and shock, the most shocking thing of all was Princess Celestia, fear in her eyes.

“Twilight” Celestia began as she saw her faithful students mouth open ready for another bout of screaming at Dash,

This is not Rainbow Dash’s faults, this is unnatural weather” Celestia walked towards the continuously banging door and fearfully said “Twilight, I…I must return to Canterlot, it is in danger, so is Ponyville, try to defend yourselves, using anything you can get you're hooves on, prepare yourselves. We are at war”.
