Celestia landed in front of the palace, sighing, "Ow, wow, after thousands of years, the sun is still hard to raise."
Luna, here sister, regarded her questioning, "Are you okay?"
"DO I LOOK OKAY?!" Snapped the oftentimes benevolent leader.
Luna stared surprised, as did a couple of guards. Celestia blinked, shocked at her own actions, "I... am so sorry."
Luna narrowed her eyes infintismally, "I know you've had a hard day of work, let's get you to bed, dear."
"Of course, sister, you're right, thank you."
They slowly trotted out of view of the guards. When they were alone in the elder's bedroom, Luna spoke up.
"This is not weariness."
Celestia walked around her sister as if ignoring her.
"You can ignore me," Fumed the dark little pony, "But you cannot ignore the situation."
"I am ignoring nothing, Luna," She sounded almost sad saying it, "But I'd hoped..."
"You thought you were above it?"
"No," Said the lighter princess, turning away, "I just wished it would not. I thought, maybe I would escape. There's already been too much suffering..."
Luna shook her head, "That's your pride talking. You need help," Her sister turned from her, "Did you hear me?"
...For several seconds, the white pony stood with her back to her sister.
"Celestia," began Luna, only to be cut off.
"I AM THE SUN! THE FIRE OF THE SKIES, THE ABSOLUTE RULER OF ALL EQUESTRIA, AND I WILL NOT BE SPOKEN TO LIKE A CHILD!" A column of flame rose up from her flowing locks. Her eyes glowed bright and her jewelry took on the appearance of armor.
Luna just blinked. Celestia came to herself, "Oh no... Twilight, what if she learns..."
"Sleep sister," Said Luna, "I'll take the day-watch." Luna left the room, terrified over what was happening to her sister, muttering under her breath, "And people say I'm the loud one!"
