3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...

7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...

"Eek," Celestia said, flatly though not without a core of humor. "Help. I surrender."

She banged the door shut, then turned to point the bag of carrots at her shinki like a weapon -- or a waggled finger. "Unless I'm allowed to be here. In my own refrigerator. In my own temple. Again."

[mighty_masked_mallard]

....oopsie. Well, that certainly wasn't what he had planned; Darkwing straightening in shock for a moment, before drooping. "OH...um..hehh...woopsie." Mostly to himself, before shaking it off. "Sorry Celestia, of course you have every right to be in your own temple. Raiding the fridge. At night."

Climbing down from the table more normally, his posture was a perfect mix of disappointment, embarrassment, and contrite-apology. "Still, you're the Goddess of the Sun. I expect you to be waking up early, not staying up late." Hat off, and looking at her with open concern.

Staying up late was his job, in some ways. Being ready and able while she was not, to protect her and others while the Sun slept. It was every bit as important as his job when helping her with rending ayakashi.

"I woke up to raise the sun every day for centuries. I've never gotten to sleep in late before, you know." That was true as far as it went, though Celestia was up unusually late even for her lazy habits.

Well-aware that he preferred to keep in shape, she shot a carrot at him as she opened the bag to get at the others.

[mighty_masked_mallard]

"All the more reason for you to get a good and full night's sleep." Darkwing countered, sounding like a boy scout. Sincere, with maybe a hint of moralizing--he meant well though.

Catching the carrot as he moved closer. "What are you doing awake anyways? Dinner seemed pretty filling." Certainly it had seemed filling to him, and she ate more than he did.

Oh, she'd made that too easy. Celestia picked up the toaster with her magic, then flung it at him with reckless disregard for his safety. "Ah, just a night," she said, still struggling to open up honestly about her problems to anypony.

[mighty_masked_mallard]

Whup--that was unexpected. A diving-roll slightly to the side, and he's blinking at her. "Right. Do you always fling toasters at night?" Also wincing at the clatter of the appliance against the wall.

At least it kept him on his toes?

"If it keeps you from building a deathcourse out of serving breakfast, I consider it a worthy use of my time," Celestia said, with a regal smile.

[mighty_masked_mallard]

One time--ONE TIME; and he would never live it down. "I cleaned up the mess and apologized." Indignant for a moment, before huffing, and then more genuinely. "But seriously, what are you doing up this late?"

[letteropener]

"You did, but if I am going to stop you from spring-loading the produce, I should help you keep in shape in other ways, should I not?" That was only fair and polite.

"Truth be told, I could not sleep," she finally admitted, unwilling to straight-up lie to his face.
