Celestia or Fluttershy: Chapter Eight
Another chapter? Wow! Did I mention that I am on a roll. Enjoy! Oh and this will be the last chapter. It's always so sad when I finish a story...though good at the same time. Mixture of emotions. :D :D :D
Celestia sat in her bedroom, tears flowing down her cheeks. She still couldn't get over the fact that Discord did not love her. She had tried so hard. She understood why he picked Fluttershy and not her but she was still upset. Loving somepony was not something easily forgotten.
She laid there and stared at the wall, bored but too sad and melancholy to get up to do anything. She heard a knock at her door.
She sighed before answering it. "Come in," Celestia said as composed as she possibly could.
Luna came in, looking sad for her sister.
"Sister, you have duties to fulfill today. We cannot do all of them. We watch the night. We shall need some sleep. Are you alright, dear sister?" Luna asked compassionately.
"No…I am not alright Luna!" Celestia snapped. Luna frowned and stepped back a bit. Celestia sighed once again. "I'm sorry Luna. I shouldn't have snapped at you. You are my sister and that was wrong. I just…miss him."
"We understand. Love is not easy to get over. You are a princess though and you must do your duties," Luna said.
"Maybe…maybe I just don't want to today! I am busy enough. Can't I just get one day off?" Celestia asked. Luna looked at her curiously.
"We do not understand what you mean. You have been in this room for three days now. We have filled in for you," Luan said. "Do you not have the concept of time, dear sister?" Luna asked.
"I do but…I just am not up to it today," Celestia said.
"We loved somepony once and we got over it. It took us a while so we understand. We shall help for another day," Luna said.
"Thank you," Celestia said with tears building up in her eyes. Luna walked away, looking back once but leaving her sister to herself, knowing she would need the rest. She had visited her dreams last night and what she saw brought tears to her own eyes.
Celestia closed her eyes, though not able to fall asleep. She was afraid to dream. They were all so sad or scary. Ponies always thought she was fearless and perfect, even Discord but this was not the case. She had fears…many actually. She got depressed just like any other pony.
She sighed and laid her head down on her hooves. She then heard a sound that sounded like magic. She opened them and saw Discord. She glared at him. She then remembered that she had told him she had forgiven him, which was not necessarily true.
"Hello Discord," Celestia said.
"Hello Tia," Discord said.
"What do you need?" Celestia asked.
"I just wanted to give you something," Discord said.
"Do you honestly think that gifts will make up for a broken heart?" Celestia asked with a snap in her tone.
"No…that's why it's a special gift," Discord said.
"Go on," Celestia said, looking out her bedroom window.
"It's this," Discord gave her a letter. He then took his claw and put it under her chin.
"What do you think you're do-"Celestia was cut off by Discord's lips on hers.
She moaned as he kissed her deeply. He petted her mane a bit. She felt sparks as he did this. She didn't want it to end.
He then pulled away.
"I thought you-"
"Fluttershy gave me permission to do that," Discord said. "Now, read my letter and I think you'll understand a bit more why you shouldn't be so unhappy and why I chose Fluttershy," Discord said. She looked down at it and then back up. She gasped as he was not there anymore.
She looked back down at the letter. She tilted her head.
How could a letter help her broken heart? She opened it skeptically. She took a deep breath as she directed her eyes to the first line.
Dear Celestia…
HA! I got you! There will be another chapter! Mhahahaha! I hope you're happy with this cliffhanger! :D :D Next chapter to come soon.
