A dry and raspy voice replaces my usual voice as I awaken to find myself halfway off my bed. "Hunnnnnnnnnnngggggg" I start to groan. I roll over to find a large, very familiar, body taking up most of the covers and the bed. I groan once again as I try to pull some of the covers away. The body groans back and tugs at them again.

"L-Luna I need something to cover up with..." I mumble as I try to fumble with the covers in the cold, dark hours of the morning.

"What was that?" Celestia asks as she rolls over.

My eyes burst open and I just about jump out of my skin and look back at the bed. I can barely make her out but Luna is there and sleeping quite soundly in the pitch black darkness. She rolls over and I can see her face in the moon light, her mouth is wide open and she is breathing lightly. I sigh and then speak out into the black room.

"I must be going crazy." I say with another sigh following it.

I climb back into bed and lay my head against the pillow I had been using before the dream. In what seems like five minutes to my dosing mind: the sun rises and my alarm clock is going off at seven in the morning. I hear Luna groan out for the noise to cease. I feel the weight of her as she rolls onto me and reaches over to slam down on the old fashioned alarm clock. I can hear her speak to me.

"Mmm my Black-" I hear what sounds like a near vomit. I'm glad she didn't vomit on me to say the least, but I open my eyes as she gallops out of the bedroom and charges straight for the bathroom.

I climb out of bed slowly and lurch towards the door as I rub my eyes. I walk out into the kitchen and look to my left. As I slowly walk towards the bathroom my mind is filled with half-awake thoughts and theories of what lay beyond the half closed bathroom door. I rub my scalp with one hoof and open the door with the other one. Luna is laying on her stomach with her head inside the toilet bowl. I can hear each hurl and the clash of chunky-liquid on water. I sigh as I come next to her and sit by her, keeping my head away from the awful smell coming from Luna's stomach contents and the toilet water. I place one hoof around Luna and gently hold her.

"Just let it flow..." I say as I give the toilet a single flush.

Luna doesn't respond she just lets loose another wave of foul smelling, half-digested, food.

"I wonder if anypony would ever buy a Princesses vomit for say.....twenty bits a pint?" I joke lightly as I pat her on the back with a tender gentleness.

She gives a sort of laugh but is interrupted by more vomit coming up and out of her mouth and into the pool of water and food. I give the toilet another flush and watch our meals of the previous day vanish down the toilet. Luna pulls her head out of the toilet bowl and rolls onto her side so she can look at me. "W-water." she says in a rasp.

"Of course." I say.

I rise and gallop out to the kitchen. I do a bit of searching in some cabinets and find a glass. After a few seconds at the sink I fill the glass about halfway then gallop back to the bathroom. Luna is now laying on her belly again and she gladly accepts the glass in her magical grip. She chugs it quickly and thanks me with an angelic smile. I get down on my stomach again and lay next to her. "Do you need anything else?"

"Y-yes.....a pregnancy test." She says in a near whisper.

My eyes widen like large dinner plates.

At a small family own pharmacy up the road from my store, I am lost. I look through each of the little isles, reading product labels and other signs that designated what was in each isle. I was currently in the mare-hygiene section looking at things whose names and uses I would prefer not to say. I grimace at the many hygiene products and continue to look for what I need. I hear a stallion's voice behind me.

"I hope you're shopping for someone else." The stallion says behind me.

I turn and see a doctor looking type in a white coat. "I am shopping for Pr-......my special some pony." I say with a bashful grin.

"Well what are you looking for, friend?" He asks.

"Something to test for pregnancies." I say with an embarrassed mumble.

"Expecting a little....ummm whats your name?" He asks as he comes to scan the shelves with me.

"Black Stripe." I say as I continue to scour the shelves of hygiene products.

"So you may be expecting a little black stripe or miniature.....errr.....mare friend's name?" He asks out of general friendly curiousity as he pulls a product off the shelf.

"A miniature Princess Luna." I say with a grin, almost knowing it will confuse him.

"Ah yes a little Black Stripe or miniature Princess-...wait...what!?" He asks dropping the box on the floor.

"You heard me." I say with a large smile. "I'm not kidding, by the way." I say with a wink and a larger smile. The pharmacist simply stares back in utter shock. Probably trying to figure out whether or not I was serious. Well as you all very well know: I am.
