5 Memories of Her

Celestia opened the glass plane door and walked out on to the balcony, closing the door behind her. She didn't realize that the main building had such a high praised view of the cliff that the academy was built on. Her expression couldn't be anymore priceless as she smiles brightly, she almost didn't realize that she was smiling until she heard the door behind her open.

Celestia's smile faded quickly as fast as she turned around, she saw Luna standing in the frame of the door with her arms crossing her chest.

"Well, how was watching the waterfall for twelve hours?" Luna spoke first before Celestia could utter a single word. Celestia looked down slightly as she did feel ashamed of wasting an entire day just staring at a waterfall.

Luna sighed deeply as she approached Celestia, she felt a lot comfortable to be around her sister than surrounded by strangers who kept looking at her with lewd thoughts. Luna knew that she had such a beautiful body that could make anyone fall for her which is why she was very shy around people.

"So, I kinda did something to you," Luna said with an uptight look.

"What did you do?"

"I signed you up to the tournament," Luna spoke abruptly as she quivered, expecting a hard punch or slap to the face but nothing happened. She just a soft body hugging her tightly, she opened her eyes to see Celestia's hair flowing through the air as she hugged her.

"Why do you always assume I will hurt you?" Celestia teased Luna as she hugged her.

Luna was dumbfounded to say, she really did expect her little sister hit her. She couldn't say anything so she simply hugged back, wrapping her elegant arms around Celestia's soft skin.

"So...why did you sign me up to that tournament without my knowing?" Celestia asked softly.

Luna froze, she didn't exactly know why she threw her sister underneath the bus: "Um...about that, I actually don't know."

She heard Celestia sigh as she felt her soft skin pulling away and her deep crimson eyes staring deeply in her soul.

"It doesn't matter anymore," Celestia said as she ended the subject with a simple sentence. She pulled something out of her back pocket and she held an old somewhat rusty lighter with a scratch blue heart on both sides.

"That was once hers, right?" Luna said solemnly, she still had memories of that girl before she passed away.

Celestia didn't reply, she simply nodded her head as she opened the old lighter. The igniter still worked after so many years of it not being used, there was enough fuel that could last for a couple of days, maybe even a week.

Celestia gave the igniter a hard shove down as sparkles slowly turned into a bright blue flame, she smiled but it wasn't a smile that would show happiness. No, it showed some sort of sorrow or regret.

"So how has it been since she died?" Luna broke the silence that formed between them.

"Twenty years," Celestia said as she closed the rusty lighter, she put the light back in her back pocket as she looked back up to Luna's deep crimson eyes.

"Twenty years feels longer than what they are," Luna said, she stared down to the floor as she turned around slowly.

Celestia could feel the same if not more remorse for Luna's lost since it was her who that her life: "Let's get some sleep, I'll think the tournament starts tomorrow."

Luna glanced over her side as she made such a weak smile, it felt like a sharp ping inside of Celestia's heart but she could only ease the pain. Celestia walked beside Luna as she wrapped her arms underneath Luna's legs and back.

"There is a way I could---"

"You are not doing it," Luna said sternly, she knew exactly what Celestia was thinking and she couldn't bear to lose another loved one.

"I was only making an idea," Celestia said, there was a hint of sorrow in her voice. Even the cold-hearted have emotions that will be expressed in the right situation.

If only...if only Celestia could actually show all of her emotions someday, then maybe she could have shown emotion on that day that she caused Luna's sister to die by her own selfish needs.

"Rest well, 2223355533777784442, the real one," Celestia spoke silently.
