"It has been a week since the explosion So far we have found a two corpses and some metled bits of metal, strangely one corpse seems to have had a serous leg infection prior to death.
We have also found evidence that this pony, identified as one willhelm Grimm, he had been working at the castle for about twenty years, and has been one of Princess Celestia's biggest supporters. However a search through the nearly destroyed building revealed some documents about his activities. He has been behind most assassinations in the past two decades, and recently kidnapped Princess Luna. More news as it comes"

Celestia turned the television off, and clopped over to her sister, who sat in her bed curled up into a shivering ball, rereading the letter again and again.

"Dear Luna,

I'm so very sorry thing had to turn out like this.
Turns out i'm not much of a distant introvert as i thought i guess... But thats not the points Don't blame yourself for my death, nor Grimms. Nor your kidnapping for that matter.
If i culd turn back time and heal our friendship believe me i would. And don't worry about nightmares anymore either,i had been using those to try to get us closer.

I know you probably can't forgive me, and even if you do you could never talk about me, too many wounds to too many families and such. Heh...look at me getting sentimental...

Anyways, please, i beg you, remember me as Selene, not as philistine. And remember, somepony loves you.

wether your sister, or me, you always have somebody.

Signed~

'The Nightmare in the palace'

Selene."

Celestia sighed, the letter told her much, phili-, selene, had truly cared for Luna and didn't know how to express it, and when it came time to do her job she rushed and it ended up failing.
She had cared for Luna yes, and thats what saved them and killed Grimm. She gazed out at the moon, and frowned, for a second she could've sworn she saw Selene's smiling face in the Lunar surface.

In the chamber under the city sat the 12 council members, they had all been ordered to come without hoods on, and were waiting for their leader to see if he, or she would follow suit.

They were all rapt with interest when their leader walked in, still wearing their hood. As he or she sat down they started talking. "I've gathered you here today for...three important announcements, one,
as you've al heard Grimm is dead." He chose to ignore the cheeres that went around the table as everpony excluding cifer congratulated everpony else, as if they did anything. When the silence slowed down the assembler spoke again. "Second, the time for secrecy is over, when i remove this hood my voice shall be unaltered, be ready." Everbodies gaze was on him as he slowly lowered his hood, revealing an alabastor Alicorn. "Im sorry for the duplicity, but i knew we'd never get anything dne if i didn't hide who i was. "But now, onto the third point of buisness, this council is hereby disbanded..." She raised a hoof as the room burst in chaos, quieting the crowd. "My sister is back, and i've figured we need to stop mistrusting one another, she gave up her inhibitions about me a week ago, and now i want nothing to imply i don't trust her the same way." That is all.

The room was silent as their princess stood up and exited.

At the far end of the table one of the lesser known lords of the council spoke up. "Okay, really, who didn't see that coming?"

~~~~~~ returned ~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was later that night, and The princesses stood in front of a memorial, on it was written "Tick tock goes the clock", and below that, in memorium for selene. On the memorial was a varitable banquet of flowers,
and in front of the grave, one sobbing midnight alcorn and one alabastor one.

They had made it themselves, so it was not a great testament to art, but if it wasn't hoofmade it would lessen the effect. They knew nobody would know probably know the name of the maid who has literally stolen into their lives. But they preferred it this way.

She had inadverdently brought the sisters together, and the moond smiled down on the scene as the two alicorns leaned into one another.

Both looking foward to the future, amidst the wreckage of a once beautiful ruin. Both knowing they could rebuild it.

And both looking foward to their bright futures, Luna moreso, she had a bright new future ahead of her, maybe she'd look to get out soon. Maybe using a holiday as an excuse.

She'd like that...

But first she needed to make a new star, one that would sit right next to the moon, the first of it's kind.

~~~~~~ Final A/N ~~~~~~~~~~~~

so this is finally done, i don't know about you guys but i think the ending feels kind of...rushed.

I'm kind of happy i'm done with this, i think it could've been a lot better, but that could just be me. So this is oficially over, sorry if anybody expected more but im tired of this story.

I'ts my first work and i honestly could polish it, which i shall probably do eventually.

Adieau~

Calmfacade
