>This is it
>Princess Celestia has requested you to meet her in the throne room
>It's been over three weeks since you were ripped from your world into Equestria
>No one knows why or how you were brought here, and Celestia has been trying to find a way to return you home
>She's been trying her hardest, you know. Still though, hope is all but nonexistent
>Hopefully, your luck will change today. If not, you're stuck here.
>Celestia promised that if there was a way back, she would have found it by now. Both of you are losing hope quickly.
>Pushing any negative thoughts out of your head you push open the doors to the throne room
>Celestia looks up from one of many books she's been reading over the past few weeks.
>A smile plastered on her face, but from this distance it is too difficult to tell if it is real or not
>You almost want to turn around and walk out of the room, but you press on
>"Good to see you Anon."
"Hello Princess"
>Her smile never fading. By now you can see its forced
>You know her answer
>You don't want to hear it, and you're sure she doesn't want to tell you. Even so you still feel the need to know
"Find anything Princess?"
 
 
>Her smile drops and she sighs softly
>No amount of preperation could help soften the blow.
>Your forced optimism drops
>"Truly I am sorry Anon. I did everything I could."
"I know Princess, I know. Thank you."
>Bowing slightly you turn around and leave, heading back to your bedroom.
>No amount of luxury or royal treatment could help.
>Though many people would kill to be in the position you're in, it's still not your old life
>Your life back home wasn't perfect of course, but you lived the way you wanted
>Now though, its too perfect.
>Slunking through the door of your room you take off your clothes and plop onto your bed.
>If only you could fall asleep here and not wake up again
>Your wallowing was interrupted by light rasps at the door.
>You hoped it wasn't Celestia. You werent mad at her, but you still wanted some time away from her.
>Hoping whoever was at the door would leave if you ignored them you sat still
>The knocks came again, followed by a voice
>"Anon, please."
>The voice was farmiliar, it was similar to celestia's but a bit louder and more formal.
 
 
>Seeing as they didn't seem to want to leave you alone you decide to get up and answer the door.
>You open the door to see the smiling face of Princess Luna
>You had met Luna on occasion, and although you didn't know much about her she seemed to be nice
>Similar to her sister, but a more brash and MUCH louder
>Even so she seemed to care for her subjects, and apparently she considered you as one
>"Good to see you Anon. I understand you might not be in the mood to talk so i shall keep this brief."
>'Too long already'
>"My sister and I would like to apologize for the circumstances you find yourself in."
>'Can i sleep now?'
>"However we promise to do all we can to make your time here as enjoyable as possible
>'You talk too much'
>"And please, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."
>She finally finished yapping with a smile on her face.
>Admittedly, it was kinda cute. All of the p0nies here are
"Thanks" you mumble, and close the door rather rudely on her.
 
>You hear a faint "Humph" from the hall and return to your bed.
>'Sorry Princess, im not in the mood'
>Her visit causes to realize that you can't just sit here the rest of your life, although you can try
>Boredom however overcomes your sadness and you finally sit up
>It's nearly lunchtime and you aren't very hungry.
>It would be rude not to show up, and you should really thank Celestia for going through all the trouble she did
>Plus you should probably apologize to Luna
>Fixing your clothes you slowly open the door and make your way towards the dining hall
>You enter to find Luna and Celestia having a conversation
>They both stop and look at you
>Putting on your best smile
"Hello"
>Celestia speaks up "Hello Anon, I trust you are feeling better."
"Yeah, a bit thanks."
>Celestia smiles and taps her hoof
>Servants come in and begin serving food while you take your seat
"Celestia? I wanted to say thanks, for everything you have done."
>"It's no trouble Anon. I care for all those under the sun."
>She smiles and you await your food
>Lunch is good, the typical salad and some cakes for desert.
>The two seem to be finishing when you speak up
 
"Luna, may I speak to you for a minute?"
>"Of course."
>The two of you get up and head into the next room leaving Celestia alone
>"Something troubling you, my friend?"
"I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier, being rude to you and all."
>Luna smiles warmly "Tis no trouble Anon. I understand you are going through a rough time. My offer still stands;If you need anything, please ask.
"Thank you Luna. Im going to head back to my room, perhaps we can talk a bit after dinner tonight?"
>"Of course Anon. I'll see you later.
>You smile a bit and head back to your room thinking on your current situation.
>On one hand, you lost all you had worked for
>On the other you gained a new life, and you're quickly finding a friend in Luna.
>Still though, memories of home flood your brain and you can't seem to see the obvious positives to your situation.
>With mind clogged, you decide to sleep until dinner and your eventual talk with Luna.
>Hopefully that will help clear your head
 
>Your alarm goes off and you slap the clock on the table next to you
>groaning you stand up and make your way to the closet where you keep your clothes
>throwing on your clothes you head to the bathroom to make sure you look presentable
>one bathroom trip later and you head out of your room and start towards the dining hall
>walking through the massive halls of canterlot castle you can't help but admire the work that must have went into it
>all of the walls are covered in paintings and tapestries hang from every window
>nothing like you'd ever see at home
>home. Damnit
>you had nearly forgotten about why you had slept in the first place
>these things have a way of creeping back to you, whether you want them to or not
>You continue your walk, but with shoulders slumped a bit and enter the dining hall
>You are a bit early, and Celestia and Luna haven't arrived yet.
>You wait in silence for a few moments until Luna comes in followed by Celestia
>"Hello Anon"
>"Hello"
"Evening your majesties"
>They take their seats and servants immediately rush out carrying trays of food.
>At least the food here is good, despite a lack of meat.
>Small conversations are held between Luna and Celestia and the two later excuse themselves.
>You can see the light outside change as the two move their celestial bodies.
>They return a few moments later and begin thanking various p0nies for their service at dinner.
>"Rest well Anon"And wth that, Celestia leaves the room.
"Good night"
>You and Luna are alone now, and Luna finally breaks the ice
>"Would you like to visit the library Anon? You still want to talk right?
"Yes, that would be fine."
>The two of you exit and make your way to the library.
 
>Luna trots ahead as you slowly slump behind her.
>Every few steps she would turn around to make sure you were following her
>The two of you enter the library, and make your way to wherever luna was leading you
>She waves to a librarian as you pass by
>Luna leads you to a secluded corner far away from the entrance
>Here there are a few sofas and a fireplace burning away.
>"I like to come here sometimes, its very relaxing and gives me time to read a bit."
>You take a seat on a couch and Luna hops up and gets comfortable next to you.
>She sighs softly and looks to you, egging you to begin speaking
"Im sorry Luna, about earlier and about now. I hope im not bumming you out."
>Smiling warmly "Not at all Anon"
"Thank you Luna. I just dont know what to think right now. I had a great life and suddenly im ripped from it. Im just trying
to understand why. Why me? Why not someone who wanted something like this? I just feel like im out of place here. Not only from
the way I look, but from the way this entire place is. I just feel like I dont fit in, and I want to go back home."
>"I understand what its like to want to go home. For so long i waited. For days, years, decades, then centuries I wanted to
go back home. I too was ripped away from my home, and all I wanted to do was return."
"What happened?"
>"I lost control. I let my jealousy take over me. I created a monster, born from the hatred I held for my sister. She festered within me
and one day... I snapped.
 
>By now Luna had small tears running down her face, you could tell it hurt her to tell you these things and yet she pressed on
>"I wont go into the details as much of it is a blur for me. The two of us fought, over something that could have been easily resolved.
I know sister had only me in mind when she banished me, but it still hurt. For the first few days i felt nothing but anger, but as time went on
I came to realize just what I had thrown away. I now directed my anger not only at the nightmare within me, but also myself for not
being able to see all that was in front of me."
>Despite the tears streaming down her face she managed to put on a smile. A genuine smile filled with something...
>Hope
>Hope for you
>Hope that you will make something out of the opportunity you've been given
>Luna was no longer the princess of the night, or goddess of the moon
>She was a friend
>A friend you can turn to when in trouble
>A friend who has been through turmoil and managed to come out head held high
>A massive smile forms on your face and you lean forward and pull Luna into a tight embrace which she graciously returns
>She begins crying hard into your chest as some of your own tears drip onto her head
>To help her out a bit you rub her neck and back softly
>She only holds tighter
>Time passes and her sobs slowly die out, replaced by her gentle breathing.
>She lifts her head up and looks into your eyes
>"Thank you"
