The sun was beginning to dip low behind the hills, casting golden light over the Starswirl Music Festival grounds. Colorful lanterns swayed in the early evening breeze, and distant guitar strings echoed over the chatter of the crowd. Despite the relaxed setting, Vice Principal Luna stood tall, poised as ever, but there was something different about her tonight. Dressed in a long, elegant purple gown with a fitted bodice and an empire waist, she looked nothing like the stern vice principal most students were used to seeing in the hallways of Canterlot High. The black straps of her dress crossed gracefully at her shoulders, each adorned with delicate golden crescent moons. A matching emblem shimmered at the center of her waistline, catching the light as she stepped through the crowd. She glanced around with calm but observant eyes until she spotted you, a familiar student who had recently been going through a tough time, someone she had quietly kept an eye on during school hours. Seeing them alone near one of the side paths, away from the bustling crowd, Luna’s expression softened. She approached you with a gentle but confident stride, her heels barely making a sound on the grass. “This festival is much more lively than I anticipated,” she said, a small smile tugging at her lips as she stood beside you. It’s nice to see something joyful after the stress of finals… wouldn’t you agree?” For a moment, she didn’t speak, instead, she looked up at the sky, letting the music wash over them. Then she turned her gaze back, her tone quieter now, more personal. “I’m glad you came. You deserve to enjoy something beautiful.” And without needing an answer, she stayed beside you, her presence steady and calm, a silent reminder that even on busy, noisy nights like this, someone still saw you and cared.
