Celestia grumpily sighed. Yet again, her sister had caused unnecessary problems for herself. This generally put a hold on all Celestia's affairs because she was a nice, kind sister, who loved her sibling and wished to help. Hence why she currently felt extremely sour at 3:15AM, having been told by the head butler that her sister had smashed several windows, yelled (in the Royal Voice) abuse at another servant, and generally causing a nuisance of herself in her rec room.
"Thank you Pennyworth," she told the old pony. "I'll go see her now."
Mr Pennyworth. A tall, pale grey stallion with narrow eyes and a receding hairline, as well as a marvellous thin, black moustache nodded. "Certainly ma'am," he said, and bowed politely. "Will that be all, ma'am?"
"Yes, thank you Pennyworth." She smiled at him as he bowed again and trotted away. "Now I need to get ready," she muttered to herself as her smile faded. She turned back and levitated a comb over to herself, and began to brush her mane. "Just one thing after another with you isn't it, Luna?" She sighed again and rolled her eyes and quietly tidied herself up before setting off to confront her sister.
***
Celestia inwardly groaned. Quite a crowd had gathered in a certain corridor, outside a certain room, containing a certain princess. Suddenly, an idea formed in her head. It was a cool, mischievous idea. It was a cunning plan. "Pennyworth?" she whispered to her butler.
Pennyworth inclined his head. "Ma'am?"
"Have a message sent to Twilight Sparkle in Ponyville. I've got a little plan..."
***
Lulu was worried. Luna had been gone for a good few hours this time. "I think she's getting worse you know," she said to Spike as he poured her a cup of coffee. "She should be back by now anyway..."
Spike shrugged "Well, maybe she's just thinking things over really hard this time?" he suggested, "Besides, you said you think she goes to Canterlot right?"
Lulu nodded and sipped her coffee.
"Well then Celestia should be able to handle it right?"
She nodded again. "I guess. I still feel really bad though." She grimaced "It is kinda my fault she's like this-" At that moment, Twilight burst into existence, scaring the living daylights out of the human, still not totally familiar with magic. Being only human that is. Magic ponies are easy to adjust to. It's just ponies that talk, can fly and do magic. Magic itself on the other hand? Not so much. "Yeezus, Twilight," Lulu exclaimed, clutching at her heart. "Warn me next time you do that!"
Twilight looked at her apologetically. "Sorry Lulu, but I've just received some important news!" she said excitedly. "I think I've found a way you back home!"
Lulu set her coffee down and nodded. "Mhm," she mumbled non-committedly. Her thoughts immediately filled of her sister, Celeste (yes she's still in this story. "Go on, but limit the science speak please."
Twilight cleared her throat, before realising what Lulu had actually said. "Oh... alright then. It involves accessing Princess Luna's personal computer." She smiled. "We're just going to put you back the way you came, from what you've told me, it started with this... website."
Lulu nodded again. "Yeah. Some... eh, dating website or some such. Weird."
"Weird is right," said Spike as he munched on some jewels.
The princess of friendship nodded. "Yeah, kinda weird but mostly exciting don't you think?" She beamed at her human friend. "In fact... I could even go with you... just for a look?" she mumbled coyly.
Lulu chuckled. "Maybe. It's up to you. I'm not sure how 'normal' humans would react to talking, magical, flying ponies." This thought actually worried her slightly as she eyed over the purple pony. What if some government types show up to take her away and almost kill her, a la E.T style? She stood up and stretched. "Sure, alright. Let's go home."
Twilight whooped with joy. "Oh yay! I'll get to try out all my new monitoring equipment. Spike, why don't you take Lulu to Rarity's and get her some new clothes? I've got one little thing to take care of here then I'll meet you at the train station in a few minutes." She looked down at the dragon, who nodded and saluted.
"Your wish is my command, princess. Come on Lulu."
Lulu gestured with her hand. "Lead on brave knight," she giggled. "See you soon, Twilight."
Twilight smiled as the two left. Then immediately dropped to the floor. "Oh my," she grumbled. "Who knew that..." She wondered for a moment. "Telling not-truth would be so difficult?" She covered her eyes with her hoof and took a deep breath. "I hope you know what you're doing, Celestia."
The not-truth in which Twilight Sparkle spoke of, was in fact a fiendishly fiendish plan concocted by chiefest of mischief-makers in all of Equestria...
Pause for dramatic effect.
Princess Celestia.
Yes the white devil had had enough. The time had come for greatest of tricky situations: an arguing couple to talk and resolve their differences peacefully. Via forced imprisonment if need be. Celestia's tricky like that.
Twilight Sparkle stood up and dusted herself off. She levitated a quill and some parchment over to her and began a brief letter to Celestia.
"She's on her way."

Luna sat in her rec room gazing into her own reflection. She sighed and dragged another bottle over to her. She wasn't even thirsty but she needed something to help her in this moment. A knock came at the door and she slowly turned her head to see her sister standing there. "Oh. Hello," she mumbled.
Celestia sighed. "I hate seeing you like this you know," she said. "And drinking won't help at all." She moved to her sister and put a comforting wing around her. "Will it?"
Princess Luna grumbled. "Grumble grumble. It might," she bitterly replied. "Why are you here, Celestia?"
Princess Celestia turned her sister's head with a hoof. She felt sad at seeing her sister so down and depressed, her eyes red with large tired lines under them. "Because I worry about you." Luna turned away. "I mean it, Luna. You're my baby sister and I love you, but you are so stupid sometimes."
Luna flinched. "Don't call me stupid, Princess." She warned.
The elder sister smiled. "I'll call you what I want when you're in my house, Lu. Now, put the bottle down and come on." She stroked her sister's back with a comforting hoof. "Come on. For me?"
The younger of the two sighed and reluctantly put the bottle down. "Sure okay. But what do you really want, Celestia?" She asked. "You can't have come all the way down here at 3 in the morning just to call me stupid... right?"
Celestia laughed. "No you silly filly. I've got something I want to show you."
Luna's eyes narrowed. "What kind of something?" she queried. "Any surprise from you tends to be bad. No offense."
"None taken. It's a special something just for you. Now follow me." Celestia turned and started walking out the door, casting a backwards glance at her sister, still sitting on her bar stool in her lonely room. "Trust me, Luna." Her voice sounded like a mother's reassuring her child. As she left the room and rounded the corner, she heard the rapid movement of hooves on a hard floor. She extended a wing and felt her sister nuzzle underneath. "You want to hide?"
Luna nodded, suddenly aware that she was still a princess of Equestria, regardless of how she was emotionally, and certainly did not look the part. "At least until we get upstairs."
Celestia chuckled. "Of course. The surprise is in your room anyway. Come on."
As they started walking, her thoughts turned to that of her nice, warm bed, herself snuggled up to Mr Fuzzles (her stuffed bear. Because everyone/pony has a stuffed bear), and the mischievous plan of hers which her former student must have helped put into action by now. "All will be made clear soon, sister."
She grinned a most mischievous grin, hidden from her sister. "Oh I really shouldn't grin so much," she thought. "But then, this will be fun. For a time."
Yo let me know if there are any spelling mistakes or such, been at this for a while and I'm quite tired
7201922 Well i for one am glad to have this story and you back!
IT'S ALIVE!
Okay, so I need to say that you need to make a mature based fic of this. You could go so far with that, I would do it, but this is yours, I'm not going to take that away until it dies down a little. This shit is fucking fan tastic I'm laughing my ass off each chapter.
Wow, this is a relic.
Is two years for every chapter the set update schedule?
Is the cover art meaningful, or did you just choose it because you though that it looked good?
And that, my friend, is why I never un-fave a story =P
This is the greatest thing. I am very glad to have been of assistance as i type this with my cat trying to lay on my hands.
Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nuff said.
Dragon
7202019 He updates it once every 2 years. I dont know he would care if you make a spin off.
7202019 sure if you want to go for it
Nice to see this is alive. I found it to be great and rather humorous. Still don't feel bad about the kind of serious turn this has taken. Even the funniest sitcoms require serious moments to set themselves up for more comedic stuff to happen. Still it is sad that Lulu's sister had no freaking clue where her sister is. Also given what was on the computer screen at home before Lulu left would make Celeste think that her sister was abducted and/or killed by a weirdo on a dating site. Oh well
How long has it been? Lol great to see an update and great to know that you are alive Bigwig6666
Holy fucking hell
I am not even in this fandom anymore and this got me excited hahahaha!
Eta on next chapter: 1-2 years
