Settle down and we shall tell an old tale anew, the tale of the sleeping pony. Once upon a time there lay two kingdoms that were the worst of neighbors. One was called Equestria, it was ruled by the Lord Tirek and the other was called the Everfree forest, and it had no king, it was said that a valiant hero, or a villain would one day bring these kingdoms together. Now in the Everfree, there, in a broken castle, lived a fun loving spirit, you might take her for a filly, but she was no filly, she was a alicorn.

Little 12 year old Luna flew from the ruins and gave a laugh as she flew higher. "Tia! Oh Tia? Where are you?" She giggled. She looked all around her. "Iron Will, have you seen Tia?" She asked, zooming to a minotaur. "Iron Will has not seen Celestia today." It said. "Thanks anyway!" The little alicorn said, flying away. Then, Three little breezies flew quickly to her. Their names were Apple bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. "Princess L-" Sweetie Belle, the white unicorn brezzie interrupted Applebloom. "I want to tell her! I want to! It's my turn!" She whined. "Yeah, Applebloom, it's my turn!" Scootaloo cried. "What?!" Sweetie Belle gasped. "Girls! Just tell me what's going on!" Luna said. "Your sister, Celestia… She's been out of the borders!" Applebloom cried. "HEY!" Scootaloo and Sweetie yelled as Luna zoomed away. "Man! Why can't we have alicorn magic?" Applebloom grumbled.

Luna landed near the edge of the borders just as a white alicorn filly with a pink mane came in, looking back at the kingdom she had left. "Hide and go seek, huh? You should hide where you're allowed to go." Her little sister huffed. Celestia gasped. "Oh… Hi, Luna…" She whispered. "Tia! We promised our parents we wouldn't go to Equestria! It's dangerous! You would think I'm the older sister." Luna said, hugging Celestia. She screamed when her fur touched something on her sister. "Are you okay?!" Tia cried, holding her little sister's hoof. She saw a major burn and breathed in. "Your bracelet… It hurt me…" Luna whispered, nodding to a golden bracelet with a dark pink star on it. Celestia looked down. "I'm sorry…" She whispered, taking it off. She threw it back into the Equestria borders. "Thanks…" Luna muttered, rubbing her burn. "Don't do that, silly!" Celestia giggled. "I love you, Tia." Her little sister whispered. "I love you, Luna… I'm sorry I keep sneaking away, not a proper princess thing to do, is it?" The elder asked, nuzzling Luna. "Nope!" The little alicorn said. "Excuse me?" Celestia gasped, pretending to be alarmed. "Oh, so sorry, m'lady!" Luna giggled. "My dear princess Luna do try to be," Celestia snorted. "More delicate!" She finished. The other girl suddenly threw a pile of mud at her sister, landing it in her. "Delicate? Ha ha ha! The princess of the night shall do no such thing!" Suddenly, Celestia pushed Luna into the mud. "Nor shall the princess of the sun!" She cried. The girls giggled together, and for once, it seemed as though nothing in the world could break it. But it was not to be.

I know this first chapter is short, but I want to do it a certain way
