The music room of Canterlot High was, on most days, usually the favoured hang-out spot for the school's most noted students, the Rainbooms. But, it was also known to be chosen for a number of other activities, and today, it was seeing just one of those. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were, at this very moment, in the middle of setting up the place for something that clearly had nothing to do with music. Furniture was being moved around, large instruments were being carefully placed to the side, and by the time it was all finished, there was a single large table in the centre of the room, surrounded by four chairs. Having finished their arrangements for the room, and taking their respective seats, the three girls each placed a book down in front of where they were each sitting. After having done so, however, they didn't start speaking to one another, at least not at first. Instead, they looked to the door of the music room, occasionally glancing down to the fourth, and currently vacant, chair. After a while though, Scootaloo let out a long sigh.You're SURE she got the message?"Sweetie nodded."Yep. She responded and everything."Looking to her two colleagues, Apple Bloom's expression was one of concern."Maybe she got cold feet about it? Ah mean...she IS pretty shy bout this kinda stuff."Scootaloo opened her mouth to speak, only to be kept from doing so when, at long last, the door of the music room started to slowly creak open. All three sets of eyes turned to look upon it, just in time to see a young girl, a few years their junior, enter. At first, she merely peeked her head in through the gap of the door, but after seeing the smiling faces of those three girls, and the welcoming gestures they were giving her, she entered the place in earnest. Slowly, she closed the door behind her, and began to make her way over to her chair, all while the CMC watched. Eventually, she was seated, and as soon as she'd finished looking to the other three girls, she finally broke the silence."Um...hi. I...I'm here now."Leaning forward, Apple Bloom let out a brief giggle before replying to that."Howdy, Lily! Welcome to the Canterlot High Book Appreciation Society!"Lily blinked to that."You...you mean a book club?"Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes."Well, we WANTED to call it that, but a certain fashion-loving sister of mine felt the name needed a bit more pizazz!"Scootaloo looked to her with a raised eyebrow, prompting Sweetie to respond."Hey! It was HER word, not MINE!"Shaking her head, Scootaloo then turned to Lily."We heard you liked books a lot, so we figured we should invite you over and talk about them."Slowly, Lily looked down to the tablet she'd been carrying this whole time, before promptly placing it upon her side of the table."Oh. Um...you like books too?"The three girls nodded in unison, each holding up the book they'd personally brought with them."Yep! We may do other stuff, but the CMC love books as much as anybody here!" Apple Bloom announced."Well...besides Twilight, obviously," Sweetie Belle added."Or Rainbow," Scootaloo concluded.Apple Bloom cast them a look of irritation, then smiled again as she regarded Lily."So then...what books do YOU like, Lily?"The youngest of the four girls thought on that, then looked down to her tablet. She swiped the screen a few times, then settled on one choice in particular."Well, um...I'm in the middle of a fantasy book. It's kind of an old one, but...I'm really liking it."Scootaloo seemed eager to hear more about that."Ooh! Does it have a wizard?"Lily nodded, seeming just a touch more open now that the other girls were showing clear interest."Yes...there's definitely a wizard.""And maybe a dragon?" Sweetie asked.Lily's smile widened."Yes, a dragon too.""An' a big adventure across the land?" Apple Bloom enquired.Again, Lily nodded."Yes, it has ALL of those things."Then, she saw them all looking to her, seeming quite eager to hear what she had to say. Lily, who clearly wasn't used to being the centre of attention, started to blush a bit, hiding the bottom half of her face behind her tablet. Apple Bloom, seeing this, leaned back slightly, starting to sound a touch apologetic."Oh! Ah mean...if ya don't WANNA talk about it, we understand, right, girls?"The other two nodded together, making it clear that, despite being here, Lily was under no obligation to do anything she wasn't comfortable with. But, to the CMC's slight surprise, the younger girl lowered her tablet again, giving a nod of her own before speaking up again, albeit with a more quiet tone than everybody else."No, it's fine. I'm just...not used to people taking that much interest in my books."Then, a look of fondness came to her, as though a pleasant memory had resurfaced for her."Well...aside from really good babysitters of course."The other girls looked to each other in a way that, very clearly, showed that they didn't know who she was talking about. But, that wasn't a big matter right now. Because if she was indeed willing to talk about this beloved book of hers, then they were going to give her a willing and eager audience. They scooted their chairs closer, resting their hands upon the table and giving her genuine looks of enthusiasm. Lily, seeing all of this, looked down to her tablet, then back up to them, then finally back to the book. Taking a moment to get her thoughts in order, she eventually started talking."You see...I first heard about this story from my Mom. It was her favourite back when she was my age. She helped me find it and...and I've loved it since."A tale such as that caused clear interest in the CMC, who leaned forward even closer, prompting Lily to, at last, start describing the story of her book in earnest."...It's a story about a man who meets a wizard. And the wizard has a bunch of his friends come over to the man's house, and at the end of it they all go off together on an adventure."Scootaloo's smile widened."An adventure to fight a dragon, right?"Lily nodded."Kind of. They have to go to where the dragon is and get a big pile of treasure back, which the dragon took a long time ago."Apple Bloom chuckled."What did ah tell ya, girls? Ain't this a swell club?"Scootaloo glanced to Sweetie Belle, then to Apple Bloom."Don't you mean a Book Appreciation Society?"To that, Sweetie Belle grunted in irritation."Ugh! Can we please DROP that already?!"Lily, seeing all of that, started to giggle, much to the delight of the other girls."Glad ta see yer enjoyin' yerself, Lily!" Apple Bloom commented.Calming down a little, Lily gave a small nod."Yeah, it's...it's fun so far."Looking to her, Sweetie regained her earlier smile."So...do you wanna read it out? The story?"Lily seemed taken aback by that."You...you want me to read it? To all of you?"The round of simultaneous nods she got gave her answer, and after a brief moment of hesitation, Lily once more smiled to them. Clearing her throat, she started to speak."In a hole in the ground..."

Princess Celestia. The mare of the sun. The respected and revered Mother-figure of all of Equestria. Many things are expected of such a pony, and as such, those expectations would often tire her. Such was the case today, for once the sun had begun to set, a long sigh escaped the white alicorn, and she took a moment to head on over to the large cushion she often sat upon when her day finally came to an end. She turned, looking to the roaring fireplace that had been blazing within her office for some time, enjoying the sight and the warmth of it in the quiet moments that followed. But, this solitude did not last, for there was a knocking upon her door. However, rather than feel irritated by this, a simple smile came to her lips, and she watched as the door opened. On the other side was one of her guards, who stood aside to allow entry to the ones who now came into view. Night Light, her Captain of the Canterlot Elite. Fancy Pants, the Mayor of Canterlot. And last but not least, Mr Morgan, the head of finance."Welcome."Her voice had been soft and inviting, and all three stallions gave sweeping bows to her as they entered, with the aforementioned guard closing the door once they were all inside. Celestia, for her part, watched them carefully, seeing them take their respective places on similar floor-cushions, much like her own. And before long, they were with her, her closest advisors, and with a flash of her horn's aura, she conjured up the tea she'd been hoping for, which was graciously accepted by the three around her. They all gave her appreciative nods, taking sips at more or less the same time, all while Celestia watched. Finally, she took a sip of her own, clearly enjoying the taste of it, and as she did so, Night was the one to break the silence."Thank you for inviting us over, Princess."But the older mare simply giggled to that."Oh, Night, how may times must I say? When we're in private, you can just call me Celestia."A chuckle escaped him."Apologies, Prin...erm...Celestia. Old habits and all that."Celestia nodded, watching him well. Night was ever the soldier, and as such he had chosen to come here still decked out in the armour of the Canterlot Elite, with its distinct purple hue. He was always on-duty, even during times when he was supposed to be relaxing, and while this was somewhat irksome to the Princess, she nevertheless allowed him to do so. Instead, she turned her gaze to Morgan, continuing her warm smile as she finally spoke up to him."How have you been, old friend? It's been a while since we spoke."The old stallion smiled right back, resting one hoof upon his trademark cane."Oh, I've been well enough. Though I'll admit, I've been in something of a conundrum of late. It's my granddaughter's birthday soon, and I've been struggling to think of a gift for her."Celestia nodded."Well, Diamond ADORES you, Morgan. I'm sure that, whatever you get for her, she'll love it."Fancy looked over, letting out a sigh before speaking up himself."I'm in a similar spot myself, old boy. It's my anniversary next week and I cannot, for the life of me, think of what to get for Fleur."Night nodded."I know the feeling. When Velvet still lived, we usually just went out to dinner somewhere nice. Getting gifts was always somewhat...difficult for us."Raising a hoof to her mouth, Celestia stifled a giggle."I remember. You two were always so hopeless when it came to gift-giving. Like the time Velvet gave you a sweater with your own face on it?"Night considered that, a nostalgic smile coming to him."Yes...good times."There was an air of comfort around the four ponies after that, and as a silence fell over them, they all contented themselves with their respective drinks for the time being. But, after a while, there was another knocking upon the door, prompting Celestia to look up."Come in."The door opened, and one of the servants, a unicorn mare, entered, bowing as she did so."Apologies for the interruption, Princess. It's just..."She held up a small pile of documents and letters, and Celestia nodded, understanding."Not at all. Just leave them over here."The mare smiled to that, following her instructions and setting the papers to one side, giving yet another bow before exiting the room. The three stallions watched as their monarch levitated paper after paper in front of her, stopping briefly at one in particular."Ah...from Cadence. Reports say that things seem to be cooling off with the Lunars in Ponyville. Twilight was even invited to a party there recently."Night, looking up from his own drink, thought on that."My daughter...always trying her hardest to make friends."Celestia's smile widened, and pride tinted her voice."Indeed...you should be pleased with her."Night matched her smile."I'm ALWAYS proud of her, Princess."However, moments afterwards, Morgan spoke up."As happy as I am that things seem to be relaxing...we cannot discount the possibility that fighting might indeed occur between us."Fancy looked to him, gaining a look of disapproval."I say, Morgan, now's hardly the time for such talk."But Celestia raised a hoof."No, Mayor Fancy...he's not wrong to be worried. These may be peaceful times...but there's no guarantee that they will last."Morgan nodded."Quite. And, as distasteful as it may be to say...YOU may one day be the one to have to declare war...should things go too far."Celestia sighed, solemnity coming to her."I know...and I am prepared to do so...or possibly even SUGGEST it...if the time comes."But, rather than feel comforted by that, Morgan raised an eyebrow, speaking in a somewhat incredulous tone."...WOULD you?"Celestia looked to him, surprised."I'm...I'm sorry?"Morgan leaned forward."You believe the prospect of having war declared again them by Equestria might in some way deter them from some future terrible action?"Celestia thought on that, nodding."Well...yes...I believe it would."Morgan nodded."Very well...but WHY?""I beg your pardon?" Celestia asked."Why?" Morgan repeated."Well...because...they know war would be a terrible thing to go through, however strong they may be. And they know that I wouldn't sit idly by while they simply did what they wanted."Again, Morgan nodded."...DO they believe that?"Celestia, while startled at this forward tone by her Minister, said nothing, for it was Night who now answered, his voice one of clear anger."Be mindful of your words, Morgan. You're bordering on insubordination here!"But Celestia looked to her Captain, speaking in that usual calming tone of hers."It's alright, Night...let him speak. I think...this is something that needs to be discussed."Morgan gave her an appreciative nod, before finally carrying on as instructed."If it's any consolation, I doubt Queen Moon would simply try to annex all of Equestria. She can't even take hold of Griffonstone without a rebellion popping up. A SMALL rebellion, true, but a rebellion nevertheless."His eyes narrowed a little."So I take it you would use the threat of war against them only as a last resort?"To that, Celestia regained her certainty, giving a nod."Yes...I would."A pause, then Morgan continued."Then tell me...what IS the last resort?"And just like that, the Princess' certainty left her again."It...well...if they were to take action against us, obviously."Hearing that, Morgan gave a nod, and slowly, he got to his hooves, though every movement clearly ached him in his old age. Resting most of his weight against his cane, he began to walk slowly around the other three ponies in the room."Action against us? In that case...here is the scenario."He paused again, considering his words carefully before speaking aloud."A riot breaks out in Manehattan. There are building in flames. And the Lunars journey across the Celestial Sea from Griffonstone to send support and keep the fire under control."He stopped, looking to the Princess.Do you declare war?"Celestia seemed aghast at that."What?! Of COURSE not! They'd be coming over to help! After all, we helped them with THIER fire, so why can't they return the favour?"Morgan turned, &and he and Night shared a thoughtful look, before turning once more to the Princess."Fine then...but suppose Lunar SOLDIERS come with them? Troops who seek to HELP Manehattan by rounding up the rioters for later imprisonment by the official Equestrian authorities? Lunars...arresting Equestrian citizens?"Here, Celestia hesitated."Oh...um...that would be...rather more difficult to consider."Morgan nodded."True...but suppose then that, after the riots have been quelled and the fires put out...that those Lunar soldiers REMAIN? That they claim to be staying in order to prevent such a riot from springing up again? That they stay...just in case?"Celestia looked down to her tea, looing more than a little thoughtful."Lunars..occupying Equestrian territory."Night was the one who nodded to that one, adding his own voice to matters."That's right, Princess. I doubt your sister will simply INVADE Equestria...but she MIGHT exploit an opportunity to slip in WITHOUT fighting. Remember..."His eyes narrowed."...she did not take Griffonstone by FORCE...but through INVITATION. One of their own opened the gates to them...and now they're THEIRS."Slowly, Morgan turned from the Captain to his Princess."Celestia...I realise that such talk is unpleasant...but you must understand...opportunity is not something we can allow the Lunars to see."Here, Fancy chimed in."As much as I wish it were not so...they speak truly, Princess. Ponies like myself...my wife...Morgan's granddaughter...even your apprentice...may depend on it. Though...I admit...I would be a HARD choice to say the least."Celestia let out a long and tired-sounding sigh, nodding in agreement."Yes. You know...say what you will about my sister..."She turned, once more staring at those flames."...but she NEVER had any difficulty...with HARD choices."
