Kettle smiled as she held Moonshine up to place a particularly delicate block arrangement. "She is fluffy because she is being special, Escrin. It is sometimes happening with ponies."

"Hey Noc." Cheesecake rolled her eyes. "Anyway, so... your fur changed color? That's kind of unusual. Do you think you were caught up in some magic explosion or something?"

"Right, well, almost all the guests are here..." Fireflare gave the block-builders a glance. "Hey, are you ready for singing?"

Luna made her way through the snowy city, her hooves making shapely steps in the snow, her stride perfectly even and her trail unerring. Every breath created a mini cloud below her nose, and she sniffled in the cold air. Normally she'd stay shut up in the castle, warm and safe. But today was an exception. It was a special day for one little pony, but more importantly, there was going to be cake, and despite the cold weather, probably ice cream too.

A lengthy scarf was all she wore against the cold. The chilly atmosphere couldn't really compare to Luna's cold heart. She didn't feel much at all these days. Though Nightmare Moon did not have a full hold on her, her influence was still quite prevalent. Luna was consumed by herself, and though she still missed Celestia, she couldn't deny her fear of the consequences. Still, she tried to ignore the longing for her sister, and deny the possible consequences.

She wasn't even sure what she was doing here. Nopony would be happy to see her. Of course, nopony would dare actually say that. So, with a hefty sigh, she rapped her hoof on the door. No turning back now.

Nocturne

Escrin grinned, lighting his horn and lifting up several blocks. Moving them into position, he placed several down, adding extra height to the block castle. It must have been a comical sight; he had his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth and his face was scrunched up in concentration as he magicked the blocks into place.

Nocturne, on the other hoof, was still rubbing his eye.

"Urgh... The colt is excitable, I'll give him that... Jeez, that claw of his hurts!"

Titubi giggled at the magical display, carrying more blocks up as the building was getting rather tall for something a bunch of foals and an earth pony mare had made. She was enjoying these little wooden squares and the shapes that could be made of them; she was sure that, given enough time and a high enough number of them, she could realistically make just about anything out of them.

Galaxy, for her part, decided to answer the door since everypony else was busy. She opened the door only a short way, to try and keep the heat inside, and let her magic ping out. It returned what (to her magic sense) looked like a pony-shaped night sky; with swirls of magic formed into stars and galaxies and the like. Since it was both taller than her, and there was only one such pony that could possibly have magic like that, she scowled. "Sorry, murderers aren't welcome here."

And she slammed the door in Luna's face. "Don't worry about that" She told all the others. "It wasn't anypony important."

"What the hell Galaxy?!"

Fireflare got up, handing Glory Star to Wishing Star as she trotted over to the door and opened it again. "I'm sorry about that, Luna, I'm pretty sure that Galaxy here is just being her usual cynical self. Galaxy, Moonshine explicitly asked for her to come. This is his birthday party and I'd thank you to leave politics at the door since he's not old enough to understand them. Now that we're all--"

"WOONA!"

The pegasus barely had time to dodge before Moonshine faceglomped the alicorn with unabashed delight. "Woona Woona Woona! You came! You wanna play bocks? We're making your pawace!" He turned around, having missed Galaxy's previous actions. "Woona, dis is Pitty. She is silly sometimes but she lives in a shiny world like you do!"

Cheesecake observed these events with some surprise. "Ooooooookay, so, um... yeah, I totally didn't expect her to be here. Not that I'm upset," she added quickly, "I just--Fireflare, did you save her life or something?"

"Nah, Moonshine just faceglomped her once."

"Huh."

"Oh, it's you. Hello, Princess, nice weather we're having, isn't it?" said Wishing Star, accepting Glory with one hoof and setting a piping-hot lasagna on the table with the other. "You know, I didn't think you would actually come to the party. You know, since you were so excited about our other child's birthday. Fireflare told me about that, with the having to beg for transport to the hospital and the snide comments and everything."

The little unicorn was totally disillusioned with the Night Princess, and was feeling far from welcoming towards her at the moment. Anypony who would treat a mare in labor like that was not a pony worth welcoming into her home. Even indifference would have been preferable to that particular brand of disgusted outrage; it was something Star's grandparents would have done, and she was not amused. That and the whole eternal night thing.

She peeled her son off of Her Royal Snootyness' face with telekinesis and set him down on the floor, giving him a halfhearted look of admonishment. Silly pony.

Nocturne

Snowbird glanced up from the table just as Luna appeared in the door, and Snow immediately ran over to her and started looking over the midnight alicorn. She hadn't seen hide nor hair of the princess ever since the moonrise, and the chance to actually meet her was amazing.

"Princess Luna! It's an honor to meet you at last. My cousin was one of the ponies to help rescue you, lucky. I've always wanted to talk to you about how you can do this. Is it true that the sun is actually gone? Where did it go? I mean, it'd be almost impossible for somepony to actually reduce it to nothing, but...Did you actually do that? That's amazing!"




Nocturne sighed as Snowbird zipped over to the Princess, walking over and peeling the overexcited mare away.

"Easy now, Snowbird..." he chided gently. Turning back to Luna, he gave a light bow.

"Good evening, Princess. A pleasure to meet you again; I take it you're well, all things considered?"

Luna barely saw the door open before it was closed in her face. She had half a mind to just blast it right then and there out of anger, but she did have some feeling left. It was cold, and it was somepony's birthday, and the offender probably wasn't the mother she had met prior. So she waited a moment, hoping somepony else would open the door before she would have to head back.

Fortunately, Fireflare was the next to greet her, in a much more polite manner. Well, that's more like it. Luna thought to herself. Fireflare was even kind enough to unintentionally point out exactly which pony was responsible for the first greeting. Luna made sure to shoot her a death glare as she entered the residence, the warmth of so many bodies quickly seeping in and heating her down to her bones.

Then, for the second time, she found a foal suddenly attached to her face. She was unable to reply to his request, seeing her face was being weighed down. She had to resist the urge to shake Moonshine off right then. She wasn't very comfortable, both with his position hindering her speech and breathing, nor his closeness.

But the mother—well, one of the mothers—finally removed him. Her disdain was evident, which Luna had expected, though not for the reason the brown Unicorn had mentioned. “What do you expect in Winter?” Luna replied sarcastically, ignoring the obvious implication about the eternal night thing. “I still got her there faster and smoother than anypony else would. She shouldn't have been out in her condition anyway! Honestly, you two have already had one foal. You both should have known better. And you could have delivered the invitation just as well.” Luna pointed an accusing hoof at Wishing Star.

“Uh. Heh.” she sized up the gray Pegasus before her. “The sun is still around, somewhere, but for Equestria, it is indefinitely set. And if it were not obvious by the moon permanently in the sky, yes, it is my doing. Of course, not just anypony can move and control the celestial bodies, so I daresay it is rather “amazing.” Luna smirked while she boasted.

“I am always well.” Luna replied to the gray Pegasus. It was an utter lie, of course. The reason for the infinite nighttime was because she was not, in fact, well. Nightmare tainted her every day, though whether or not she realized how much remained to be seen. In addition, she was an emotional wreck for various reasons. Remembering how they first met brought a wave of mixed emotions as well. The party had been fine, even if not everypony was courteous, but if they were going to show up, they could have been polite enough to say hello... such was the turmoil within her, the good ponies versus the bad, the nice ones versus the mean ones. Unfortunately, the mean ones had won out, leading to the current state of Equestria.

Tin Glade stared wide eyed and slack jawed at the Princess, only her pricked and forward pointed ears gave any hint that she was not awestruck, but rather, preparing to fight or flee. This was not something she wanted to be involved with. She didn't want to listen to the lies any more than she wanted her own lies found out, and this mare was probably the only entity in the nation who could actually do so. Or at least do so by force.

The princess reeked of nightmare, to the extent that it had clouded over her usual sense of dream and time and space, and it was no wonder, no wonder at all, that she was mindlessly condemning the ranks to death. But that made no sense, for how had the nightmare found its way in, and why was it there and not yet in control?

The dark blue earth pony very slowly backed a few steps away form the overpowering magic, distantly aware that none of the others could probably even sense it. The unicorns were all Harmonious, they would only be able to sense chaos at their levels of strength and-

She bumped into something- somepony?- and toppled gracelessly to the floor. "Right, sorry, sorry um. I just. Um." She stuttered helplessly. "I think I should be going. I didn't... think you were... serious about the- the- the- her." Her smile was obviously panicked as she stared from the ground up and up and up at the tall mare, trying not the feel ill at the general wrongness of the nightmare daring, daring to touch what was hers and her mate's by right and shared in generosity with life itself and shielded ever from the essence of death. "Um. I'm. I'm. I'm sorry for your, that is, that... I." She hiccuped, feeling her grip on the shape she had chosen slipping. No doubt her hooves were beginning to cleave as she stumbled back to her legs. Her whisper of a germane accent had already disappeared when she added, "If there's anything We can do to ease your heartache you need only ask, but not in this place I think."

And with that she bolt, hoping to dive directly beneath the tall princess's stomach and be out the door before anypony managed to stop her.

Galaxy, however, was much less subtle about her opinions than Wishing Star.

"So you're just going to let her in then; actually let the mare that's killed more ponies then a good portion of serial killers in Equestrian history put together associate with a young, impressionable foal? At least Wishing Star seems to realize how stupid this whole thing is." She was ignorant of Luna's death glare, lacking sight left you without the ability to be affected by expressions. "You know what, if you're dumb enough to allow that, I can't stop you, it's your kid you're ruining after all. I, however, will not be doing that. Titubi, we're leaving."

The flutterpony blinked. "But, Mother, I-"

"Titubi, this is not negotiable. We are leaving, and that is final. Fireflare, our present is on the table. Good day," she stressed the word rather significantly, "to you all." And, with that, she opened the door and walked out, followed by a sullen flutterpony a moment later.

"...I will be right back."

Fireflare smiled politely at the gathered ponies, including a now very confused and hurt Moonshine, before following the pink unicorn out the door. Once they were a safe distance away, the pegasus tackled Galaxy and pinned her to the ground.

"What the actual fuck, Gal! Moonshine is literally ONE YEAR OLD. I've saved him from being kidnapped by pedophiles, so don't you DARE say I don't care about him, but the fact is this is his BIRTHDAY! It's a time to celebrate HIM, not fling around politics and deities like some sort of zealot! Celestia has killed, Luna has killed, I'm pretty sure Cadance killed a few changelings back in the first invasion. Still ponies. You didn't even stick around to wish him a happy birthday! He doesn't understand, he's going to think you hate him!"

She breathed. Then, she backed off.

"Now, I know you aren't the heartless bitch you try to make yourself out to be. I don't care what you think of Luna, or whether it's right. But right now, there's a little colt back there on the verge of tears because one of his favorite ponies in the world walked out on his special day. So you're going to go back in there, put on a happy face for him, avoid the princess if you have to, and you are going to make sure he knows you love him. Cause I've seen the way you handle him, and you totally do."

"Oh shut up!" Galaxy pulled herself off the snow as Titubi stood off to the side, not looking like she was in the best shape herself emotionally. "This isn't about politics or deities; Luna is killing the entire bucking world because she won't do her damn job! These aren't the casualties of war, or the execution of those that deserve to die, this is the genocide of countless sentient beings that have done absolutely nothing wrong! She is killing every foal, ever mother and father of a foal and every family that lives on Gaia! I don't even want to think about how badly the tropical regions are fairing, they aren't used to the cold and the plants there are probably dying by the acre. All because that selfish bitch in there doesn't want to give half a damn about anything by herself!

"And your son isn't the least bit immune to that either; it he changed his name, she'd toss him out in the cold the same as she would with your daughter and you and Wishing Star! Don't you get it!? SHE IS A MONSTER! I don't care who she is; what she's doing is wrong and the fact that you let her get away with it and actually allow her to be in the same house- let alone the same room- as something so precious as Moonshine-" Words utterly failed the mare as struggled to articulate just how utterly wrong it was that somepony like Luna was allowed anywhere near a foal. "Yes, I care about Moonshine! I care about Glory Star and Titubi as well; and I know, damn well, that Luna doesn't care one iota about either of them and the only reason she so much as glances at Moonshine and hasn't just kicked him off to a corner is because she loves that lifeless rock in the sky so much that anything related to it all but gets her off! You need to get him away from her, before she decides that she deserves him more than either of you and steals him away while you're sleeping!"

Galaxy stood there, panting, and wrapped her scarf tighter around her. "If you care even the slightest bit about your son, then you will make sure that Luna never gets near him again. Because I promise you, one of these days, she's not going to let you have him back."

"Dragons are amazing too, but you don't hear anypony complimenting one while it's burning their village." said Wishing Star pointedly as she cut the lasagna into equal sections. "And I didn't deliver the invitation because Fireflare was heavily pregnant and somepony has to work. Firewood isn't free in Canterlot; it's a shame that we need so much of it. Who's hungry?"

Setting out a few disposable plates and putting a generous serving of the ricotta-cheese-infused pasta onto each, Star busied herself making sure that, personal differences and not-so-subtle sniping aside, Moonshine's first birthday would not be a complete and total disaster. She contented herself with the thought that Moony probably wouldn't grasp what exactly was going on between the unicorns at the party and the Mare of the Moon. As far as the little guy would be concerned, it was a fairly interesting day where he got free stuff.

"Mommy, when are we gonna eat da cake? And what's all the boxes on the table?" Moonshine asked curiously, after he had bored of listening to the adults chatter amongst themselves. The honest question sent a mild pang of shame through Wishing Star's heart; Fireflare had been pregnant for his entire life, and their little family had been consisting on her income alone most of period. Hearth's Warming had been rather slim indeed; they hadn't been able to afford gift wrap for the few presents he had received.

The poor colt had never seen a wrapped present before.

Nocturne blinked as first Tin Glade, then Galaxy and Titubi, then finally Fireflare ran out the door.

He stared in confusion; Yes, he wasn't too fond of the Princess either at the moment, but he had a foal in the room, and his wife was here with another on the way- would he sacrifice them for a moment of satisfaction?

.................... Haha, no.

Nocturne sighed as Wishing Star sniped the Princess with her snide remarks, wincing at Luna's haughty reply- this wasn't the Luna he saw at the party in the castle garden some months ago- this Princess was arrogant, pompous, imperious...

He wanted the other Princess Luna back.

Even so, his face brightened when Wishing Star put out the lasagna, turning to shout to Escrin.

"Oi, kiddo! Lasagna!" he shouted, and father and son alike zipped to the table, sitting in almost identical fashion- neckerchiefs coming out of nowhere to be fastened around their necks, and forks and spoons held in their hooves with identical eager expressions on their faces.
