It was the next day, and I was at the Castle of the Two Sisters, now with Luna and Nightmoon, helping me fix up her old wing of the castle, Speda and I's new home.

"I can't believe how our old home has pretty much ceased to be.", Luna said, a faraway look on her face, before she brightens with a smile. "But at least we are here to rebuild!"

"Yeah! It won't be gone for long, in fact, it should be better than ever!", I said, using my telekinesis, putting a bit of strain on my eyes, before finally getting the new bed frame in the correct order.

It took a while, but eventually, the room looked very homey, along with additions from Luna and Nightmoon, which I learned they would both be staying with Speda and I, while we finish rebuilding this half of the castle.

We went to bed that night, snuggling together so we could stay warm, the fireplace ablaze with light, as I realized, it was almost Halloween, or Nightmare Night here. I decided I would decorate the castle when we woke for the next morning.

The next morning, we woke up, quite warm, and comfortable. Good bye, comfy bed, hello breezy morning.

I went to brush my teeth, and fix breakfast, eventually settling on French Toast, Eggs, and Hashbrowns. I kinda missed sausage and bacon for a moment, but perhaps I could find those who would be willing to sell me some.

A pair of Lunar ponies walked down, yawning loudly, before gaping at what was set about, already drooling.

"I... It's been so long since we've actually been able to eat.... It all looks so delicious. A... Are we allowed to have some?", Luna Moon asked, slightly nervous, and starving.

"Yes, please allow us to feast with thee, oh great one", Nightmoon spoke with an exaggerated swagger in her voice, humor laced within, but also a strong hunger that was very apparent.

"Of course, dig in, girls, you didn't think I'd let you all go starving did you? I made all this for us as a celebratory morning.", I said, smiling at them in reassurance, beginning to eat already.

Luna quickly started digging in, leaving the fork to the side, with a predatory growl. I blanched at the scene, before chuckling, soon joined by Nightmoon, who was eating with a more delicate fashion.

"I can tell there was a lot more to dig in to those words huh? For a thousand years? I'm sorry you had to go for so long without food. No wonder you were so quick to anger.", I said, still chuckling, which caused Luna to blush in embarrassment.

"Sorry.... We didst tell thee!", She said in her defence, crossing her hooves in front of her, as crumbs donned her chin.

"It's okay, just take it a little slower, it's not going any where, and you might choke. So, on other news, do you two know where we can get some more goods to pay for refilling the rooms with furniture? Somewhere that could still be around after all this time? I've got a stallion for bricks and stone working, but we need a way to pay him as well, since this is a castle and all.", I said, finishing up my breakfast, and bringing it to the kitchen, already planning up a way to install a water system.

"No, though we could ask our sister for help on that. We can ask the Town's Ponies for help in rebuilding more rooms. By the way, from experience's yesterday, we can tell you are also like us in some ways, does it perhaps include there are two of you within?", Luna asked, tilting her head, which caused Nightmoon to do the same.

I nodded. "Yeah... see, this isn't my body, but the one I'm in knows me from before, I guess? I'm supposed to be Male. Was a pretty big surprise for me to wake up too. I guess that calls for a different name, huh?", I asked, looking up to the ceiling, thinking, before bringing a hoof up into the air.

"I got it! I'll go by Thomas. Or Tommy for short. I'll decide a last name later.", I say, catching the dual Princess's attention at the oddness of it.

"That is quite an odd choice for a name... But if that's what ye choose, who are we to judge", Luna says, Nightmoon echoing a similar response, before they approach the front door of the castle. "We'll be down at the end of the bridge when you finish up Tommy. Be quick!", Nightmoon exclaims, before following Luna.

"All right!", I exclaim, spreading my wings, before sailing up the stairs to the room we share. I then change into my undergarments, my dress, my plain saddlebags, and then fasten my sword to my side. I sail back out the door after shutting it closed, down the steps, out the door, and over the small canyon to the waiting alicorns.

"Phew.... Quick enough for ya gals?", I grin at them, causing them to roll their eyes, while chuckling at me. I find out why, when I see my mane has been pushed up, back, and all around like I was stressed. I groaned, straightening it out, before settling into a comfy style.

"Looking better. All right let's go, first stop, Sweet Apple Acres!", Exclaimed Luna, who was very much still like a young filly at the moment.
