Princess Luna pulled Moonstone into a hug, her warm, motherly smile growing calm as she pulled away. “Goodnight. You are our most loyal student; we see you as another one of our daughters. Please continue the magnificent studying.”
 
Moonstone smiled up at Luna. “Thank you, Princess. To be honest, you’re like a third mother to me! I’m so glad I’m your student and I will do my very best for you!”
 
Firefly looked around the corner at them and scowled before sulking down the hallway.
 
Luna swiftly planted a kiss on her forehead before curtsying to bid her adieu. She began walking down the hall to her night post where she can admire the moon’s beautiful glow. On her way she spotted her daughter. “Hello there, my love,” Luna pulled her close
 
Firefly pushed her away. “Don’t touch me,” she grumbled as she started walking in the other direction.
 
Luna used her magic to grab Firefly by the tail. “What is the matter?”
 
“Nothing! You go have fun with your OTHER daughter since you love her so much…” Firefly yanked her tail away and crossed her arms.
 
“Firefly, Moonstone is like a daughter to us. We love her too, but we shall never love her as much as we love you. You are our REAL daughter!” Luna insisted.
 
“Yeah, well, that’s good to know as you literally spend all your time with HER. Even Mom and Phil spend more time with me than you!” Firefly bitterly turned away.
 
Luna sighed. “Firefly, she is my STUDENT. That would be like telling Princess Twilight’s consort that she spends to much time at the Ponyville Schoolhouse.”
 
“Oh…” Firefly was deep in thought for a moment. “You gotta point, I guess, but…” She mumbled under her breath. “…when have you ever spent time with me?”
 
Luna felt an intense twinge of guilt, her royal “we” fading away as she remembered what it was like to feel ignored and unloved. “I’m sorry, I understand what you’re going through.” She looked her daughter in the eye. “I promise I’ll spend more time with you!”
 
Firefly hesitated for a moment before turning to hug Luna. “Thank you, Mother…”
 
“I love you, my dear!” Luna pulled her into a hug swiftly before pulling away and walking towards the balcony with a warm and loving smile.
 
Firefly started walking towards her bedchambers when a thought popped into her head. “You know, Mother,” she turned towards Luna. “I don’t think we’ve ever watched the stars together.” She followed her mother into the night, ready for some much-needed bonding time.
