Though she did love her sister's day and its brightness, Luna preferred the soft glows of her night. There are times though when she would stay awake during the day. Sometimes she could spend it with Celestia, and other times the sun princess was too busy with her duties. One day, Luna was awake during the day. Her sister could not be with her for she was dealing with the royal court. Luna was restless.





She peered up to the sky and said, "I know! I will go explore the space beyond our world." She flew up high in the sky and entered space. It was so vast that at first Luna didn't know where to go. Then a comet flew by her, and she quickly jumped on its back.





"Hello, brother Comet!" said Luna. "You might not know me, but I am Luna your sister from that planet you passed."





"I know of you, sister Luna," said brother Comet. "You make the pictures with the stars. They accompany me during my travels and they me stories. I find great joy in the tales they tell." This brought a smile to the princess' face.





"I'm glad that they do," said Luna.





"Tell me sister Luna," said brother Comet. "What brings you here?"





"I wanted to explore the stars and space." said Luna. "It gets awfully boring on my planet during the day and when my sister is busy."





"Ah, you mean the solar sister, Celestia," said brother Comet. "The suns I pass speak well of her. If you wish, you may join me on my journey, and when it is time for you to bring your night, I'll return you home." And Luna did. She rode brother Comet's back as they shot through the stars. She saw many wondrous places. She saw planets they were covered in sand and another that was completely covered in an ocean. She saw many curious creatures on them such as one with hairless two-legged creatures that have no hooves! The constellations called out, "Mother Luna!" to her in greeting, and they told her stories. Nebulae called her sister and danced for her. She laughed and danced with them and brother Comet. During her travels, she saw an asteroid, but it was different than the others she has seen. It was green and it had three small volcanoes on it! She pointed at it.





"Brother Comet, have you seen something like that before in any of your travels?" asked Luna.





"No, I have not," said Brother Comet and he flew them to the asteroid. Luna hoped onto the asteroid and began to explore. The asteroid has grass growing on it and as she explored she found a single rose.





"That's so strange," said Luna. "There is nothing here besides the grass, the volcanoes, and the flower."





Suddenly the flower turned to her and spoke. "How are you? What's your name?"





"By my stars!" said Luna. "You can speak?"





"Of course!" said the flower. "My name is Rose! Who are you?"





"I am Luna, princess of the Night and its inhabitants." said Luna. "I rule my home land of Equestia with my sister, Celestia. Do you live here by yourself, Rose."





"Yes, I do," said Rose. Rose wilted slightly and this alarmed Luna. What is happening to her little flower?





"Whatever is the matter?" asked Luna.





"I'm very thirsty,"said Rose and she wilted again. "My pool of water has dried up!"





"I will fetch you some water," said Luna. She hurried back to Brother Comet and told him of Rose.





"Here, sister Luna," said Brother Comet. He broke off a piece of ice from his body. "Take some of my ice and have her drink some. Then use the rest to fill her pool." Luna did as she was told and hurried back to Rose. She held the ice up to the sun and water dripped onto the soil. Once Rose had her fill, Luna melted the rest of the ice in the pool.





"Thank you, Luna!" said Rose. "You are the first person to visit my home."





"No one comes to see you?" asked Luna, saddened by this news. Why would no one visit such a lovely creature?





"No. I am very lonely here, and I have no friends!" cried Rose. Luna pitied Rose, for she understood what it was like to be imprisoned with no one to speak to. An idea come to the night princess' head.





"Would you like to come live with me on my homeworld?" asked Luna. "It's very green there like your home, and there are plenty of ponies and flowers that you could befriend. It's nice and warm during the day, and cool at night. You will have plenty of water and soil for your roots to grow. We can even bring your home there." Rose swayed happily at this.





"Truly?" asked Rose. "Thank you, friend Luna! I won't be lonely anymore!" Luna crafted a magical rope that will never break or slip with her magic and tied it to Brother Comet and Rose's home.





"Brother Comet," said Luna. "Will you take us to my home?"





"Of course, sister Luna" said brother Comet and Luna jumped onto his back once more. Brother Comet flew them back to Equestria just as the sun was beginning to set. "I cannot take you to the surface, sister Luna, or else I will melt. If you find yourself among your stars again, call my name and I'll take you and Rose on my travels again." Luna untied the rope from brother Comet and told him good-bye. She pulled Rose's home to her palace, and placed Rose in the center of the royal garden.





"There," said Luna. "Now, you can speak to ponies and your new friends can visit you!" From them on, Luna would visit Rose whenever she could during the night and made sure that her flower friend had plenty of water. During the day, Celestia would keep Rose company, and soon Rose had new friends that visited her during both the day and night. Rose taught the other flowers to speak and they could sing together whenever they wished. Luna and Rose from that point forward became friends forever, and Rose wasn't lonely anymore.





The End





I read your description, and I couldn't help myself. I tried writing it like a fairy tale, so I hope it turned out okay. I hope you enjoyed it, Cynos-Zilla!













The day was not Luna's domain. She did not control the weather nor the rise and fall of the sun. Those are her dear sister Celestia's duties. Luna took care of the night. She made the constellations in the dark sky, controlled the rising and setting of her moon and it's phases, but the thing she loved the most about her charge were the dreams of the ponies of Equestria. She would flit in and out of the heads of any who were asleep and watch them have so much fun with their imagination.
