"I believe we made some progress Luna." she smiled. "now then to repeat one of my first questions... what do you think... of Celestia?" she froze for a moment before she looked down at her hands sitting on top of where her legs would be if she wasn't wearing the fancy dress.
"shes... strong... powerful... caring... kind... scary..." she started to say but she froze once she said the final word. "i... really am scared of her..." she almost broke down crying again until I spoke.
"but that doesn't mean she doesn't care for you. You may be scared of her but she will always love you regardless of what has happened. When I first came to Equestria was only a few months before you... returned... and I had gotten to know your sister as I had stayed at the castle until I got to my own feet. She missed you very much, Luna. Enough to where she would sing your favorite lullaby every sunrise and sunset as she would move the sun and the moon." she looked away slightly. " I already know what your mind is thinking. I could be lying to you. Lying to hide the fact that your own sister... would want to hurt you..." she snapped her head towards me. "its the same way my own sister thought at first. Thinking I would hurt her just like the same man who hurt her. I never once went back on my promise to help her and she recovered enough to where she could go out and work without flinching and running away screaming at every male she saw. Now I believe that is all the time we have Luna so I suggest you get going and think about what we have talked about here today."
she nodded as she stood up from her seat and wiped away her tears and eyes before I moved the tape recorder, lowering the enchantments and wards, before she walked out and closed the door behind her as I quickly moved the tape recorder back so I could do my summary. "client Luna Faust had her first visit today and thanks to it being a two hour appointment we got much more done than normal clients. I have learned more about her up to the point that she and her sister had defeated a god known as Discord and started to rule Equestria. I have come to find that she has a trigger that causes her breakdowns the most and must notify her sister of these words to help prevent any more breakdowns. The words are Nightmare Moon. They cause her to break down and remember exactly when her own sister banished her with a look of rage on her face." I turned off the recorder as I quickly marked down her name and the number one before I closed my curtains and walked over to a large potted plant. Moving the planet revealed a safe built into the floor as I quickly did a combination and put the tape inside. Inside was also my personal belongings like my photos of my family and wife as well as a few letters that were in my pocket I had wished to send but never could. Closing the safe I reset the combination before putting the plant back into its place.
Standing up I walked over to the door and walked out. "Green Honey I will return in time for my eleven o clock appointment." she gave me a nod as I quickly walked through the hall, down the stairs, through another hall, then out the door as I began to make my way to the castle. The guards let me through knowing I was allowed in the castle at any time as I quickly began making my way to the throne room. Soon I reached the room and was surprised to find no nobles waiting outside of it.
"the princess cleared up any nobles waiting to see her after ten o clock." a nearby guard told me as I nodded.
"is she free at the moment?" I then asked as he nodded. "am I allowed inside?" he responded by opening the door and allowing me to walk in. I saw Celestia sitting on her throne as I approached and I could see the concern in her eyes.
"James... how is she?"
"she is broken princess but she can be helped." she gave a sigh of relief. " I came to notify you that I found out she has a trigger which I believe you already know."
"a... trigger?" I nodded.
"basically something that would cause her to react the most. Such as a specific item or words. In her case its two very specific words... Nightmare Moon." I told her. " I suggest that you try your best to quell anybody saying these words until I can tell you for certain she would not react to them."
"thank you for notifying me, James. Is there anything else you can tell me about." I shook my head.
"no princess. All I could tell you was a small amount of progress was made today." she gave me a small smile.
"I thank you again for helping my sister James." I gave her a smile of my own.
"no problem princess. I will let you know if anything comes up that's more important than the patient-doctor contract." she nodded as I walked out of the room and towards the entrance... I passed by Princess Luna on the way as she looked surprised. I gave her a greeting which she returned before rushing off. I had a bad feeling about what she might be thinking about me in the castle.
I just hope it wouldn't bother tomorrow's appointment. After about 10 minutes I made it back to the office to find my eleven o clock appointment there early by 30 minutes. I could see the mare sitting there worried while her son played in the play area. "Doctor Barnes!" she whisper-yelled as she rushed over to me. "please... you must help my son... he met his father over the weekend and he... reverted!" the young colt, Iron Noble, was the son of a noble who saw all mares as property and soon gained the same mindset at a very young age. The mare in front of me was his ex-wife who gained custody over Iron Noble but wished to get him over to a regular colts mindset. "Hi, Iron!" I stated after nodding towards the distraught wife. "how about we go and have a small talk?"
