“Mommy!” Eclipse shouted, running towards the queen of the night.
 
“Hello Eclipse! How is mommy’s little sun spot?” Luna nuzzled her excited foal affectionately and the crystal guards closed the front doors behind her.
 
“I’m good! A monster tried to kill me!” Eclipse smiled brightly and hugged her mother’s foreleg.
 
“What?” Luna frowned, confused.
 
“Why don’t we take you to Queen Cadence and Princess Twilight? There are things you must discuss.” Spoke an armored stallion to her left. The unicorn bowed and began walking towards the stairway. Luna levitated Eclipse onto her back and trotted after the guard.
 
“Hello Queen Luna.” greeted Cadence, as Luna and Eclipse entered the throne room. The unicorn they had been following stopped at the door and closed it after them, leaving the four royals alone.
 
“Hello Queen Cadenza.” Luna bowed her head briefly in a sign of respect. Cadence didn’t have the energy to correct Luna’s formality.
 
“A lot has happened since you and Queen Celestia went on your hunt for King Sombra. We had an incident involving Eclipse and my daughter.” Cadence began.
 
“What happened? Is everyone okay?” Luna walked closer to Cadence, Eclipse clutching her mother’s mane with her hooves.
 
“No. A skinwalker infiltrated the castle posing as Flurry and attempted to kill Eclipse. She’s fine aside from a few cuts, but Flurry however…” Cadence trailed off, looking away.
 
“Say no more.” Luna held up a hoof. “I understand, and I’m so sorry for your loss.” Cadence nodded, acknowledging her aunt.
 
“Aside from that horrible event, something else has occurred.” Twilight spoke up. A horrified mare recoils in fear. “During Flurry Heart’s funeral, which I’m sorry you were’n’t able to attend, Rarity was sexually assaulted by an unknown stallion.” A stallion bites his tongue as he struggles to stay silent. “Despite thorough investigation of all participants of the funeral, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and I were unable to find the culprit.” Twilight smiles.
 
“How is that possible? Surely someone must have seen something.” Luna responded, disbelief in her voice.
 
“We don’t know.” Answered Twilight. “Everyone we spoke to reported no unusual activity that night. Even the royal guards saw nothing out of the ordinary.”
 
“How long ago was this?” Luna questioned, concerned.
 
“Four weeks. Rarity is at home recovering. Tomorrow the girls and I are going with Rarity to the hospital to find out if she’s pregnant. I know it sounds horrible, but I hope she is. It’ll be easy to find out the father if we can extract a DNA sample from the fetus.”
 
“Please Twilight, inform me of the results as soon as you get them. Mating is an act protected by the realm of the night, and when it is forced upon someone, the proper consequences must follow.” Luna spoke with a serious tone.
 
“Of course.” Twilight nodded her head.
 
“Hey! Twilight! You in there!?” A loud banging resounded throughout the throne room. Twilight frowned and looked to the crystal double doors as the opened. Rainbow Dash immediately flew in followed by Applejack who galloped after her.
 
“Twilight, we’re gonna miss our train! I’m NOT waiting another hour and a half for the next one!” Rainbow complained loudly. She looked over to Luna and Eclipse. “Oh hey Luna, sup ‘Clipse.”
 
“Yo yo wassup!?” Eclipse responded excitedly. Luna’s face changed to one of bewilderment.
 
“I, w-what?” Luna stuttered.
 
“Rainbow don’t talk to Eclipse like that, you’re being a bad influence! Eclipse can barely speak as is” Twilight scolded. Cadence giggled and Twilight looked to her in surprise.
 
“That smile looks good on you Cadence.” Rainbow winked and smirked.
 
“Down girl.” AJ bit Rainbow’s tail and pulled out of the air and onto the floor. Rainbow landed on her hooves with a clatter and pouted, pulling her tail away from the earth pony.
 
“Let’s go Twi.” Rainbow urged.
 
“Fine.” Twilight sighed and looked to her old friend. “Goodbye Cadence, I’ll write.” Twilight hugged the queen and she hugged back.
 
“Eclipse and I will accompany you. Goodbye Cadenza, I wish the best for you and your husband.” Luna bowed her head before following Twilight and her friends to the door.
 
Less than ten minutes later they were on the train, with Luna planning to get off in Canterlot. Luna stood outside of the last train car, using her powerful magic to raise the moon as the sun set. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were three cars away, resting and conversing. Twilight walked up to Luna from behind as the other alicorn cast her spell.
 
“I’m really glad you showed up, Luna.” Twilight spoke.
 
Luna’s eyes were closed as she slowly raised the moon, but she smiled. Eclipse hugged her mother’s leg as she watched her preform her powerful magic.
 
“You’ve really made this much easier for me.” Twilight smiled, although Luna couldn’t see.
 
“Made what easier for you?” Luna questioned, finishing her duty and turning to face the Princess of Friendship. She was met with sickly green and red eyes, and in an instant, her mind was trapped.
 
“I only need a piece.” Twilight said cryptically. She summoned her magic and forced it down Luna’s throat, worming it deep into the night queen’s body. Twilight grinned as she found what she was looking for, and she withdrew her magic from the other’s body. To the naked eye one would see nothing, but Twilight knew she had what she needed and teleported it back to her master. She chuckled as she released her magical hold on Luna, who promptly fell to the ground in a dead sleep. Eclipse stared in horror as this transpired, then looked to her aunt with fear in her eye. Twilight slowly walked to Eclipse and lowered her head until they were eye to eye.
 
“No one will believe you.” She whispered.
