Journal of the Two Sisters

"Because Alicorns age at a different rate than the rest of the pony races, Luna and I don’t have our cutie marks yet. Being a “blank flank” at our age always felt unusual. I’ve always known that I would get my cutie mark at the proper time.
"But now that we’re surrounded by so many ponies who have their marks and are so much younger than we are I admit, it feels a bit odd."

"Hopefully now that we are princesses, Luna and I will find our true calling and finally get our marks."

Luna:

And I’m especially excited to talk to that Star Swirl the Bearded guy again. I bet he’s a great sorcerer and we could really learn a lot from each other.
Plus, he has the best name ever!

Celestia:
To be completely honest, I’d like it to be a place where to get away from everypony. A sanctuary, someplace where we can have our private ****. *** is that a bad thing for a princess to want?
Probably, but even a princess wants some ****** right?
Anyhow, as we continued our search, Star Swirl told us about a place in Equestria called the Everfree Forest.

It’s such a fascinating tree, and ***
On it are three markings: a sun, a moon and a star. I’ve asked Star Swirl what these stand for, but he seems to have no idea.
I don’t know why, but I feel like the sun image is calling to me. Is that weird?
Luna and I are both so draw to the Tree of Harmony that we decided to build the Castle of the Two Sisters above the ravine. Star Swirl agreed, saying that having our castle built near the Tree of Harmony would give us strength and help us protect Equestria.

Celestia:

My sister is so weird. She wants the castle to have all these odd tricks and traps all over. And what do I really want? I want a huge library where I can finally put all the books I’ve been collecting all these years! Then Luna suggested that we build a secret room in the library where I could read in private. I totally geeked out at the brilliance of that! In that way, I guess we’re both a little weird, huh?

Luna:

As the manticore tried to break free from his magical bonds, I demanded to know why he’d trapped the ponies.
I’m not sure what sort of answer I was expecting from him. It’s not like I spoke manticore or something.
But then as he began to roar his answer, I realized that I actually COULD understand him! Amazing!
The manticore roared that the ponies had smashed and destroyed his home. They had no respect for him, so he was going to make them pay!
…

After freeing the ponies from their prison, everypony apologized for this terrible misunderstanding, and Celestia and I promised that it could be remedied. Using our Alicorn magic, we quickly reassembled the manticore’s home, and he admitted that it looked even better than before.
Then the most amazing thing happened. The manticore helped us find the supplies we…

Celestia:

The castle is finally finished, and today, Star Swirl the Bearded arranged a royal introduction between Luna and me and King Bullion of the Unicorns. I must say that King Bullion was very gracious to come  to our castle, considering my sister and I are now taking over *** ** *****.
There are various kingdoms and empires that were established long before Equestria was founded.

The following pages have Luna and Princess Platinum having a verbal catfight in Royal Canterlot Voice, whom she describes as a “prissy princess”. Mostly unreadable to transcribe though.
