Well, This Just Gets Better & Better
Chapter 9: Shes Been Found! By My Mum...
Previous Chapter"What the hell is that!"
Yup... The words I thought and hoped to never hear from another soul. The sentence that was a goal, my goal, to keep from hearing. And what was the best way to fail it? Making your mum the first one to find your hidden living treasure. So whats going to happen now?... I ponder at the thought. Id wonder if there was to be a screaming horrified woman running around the block or shed rather cowarded behind me, screaming at me to get rid of Luna.
What I got was totally unexpected...
"Aw it's sssooooo cute!".
Say what?....
"What is it?" She asks before gasping in realisation. "it a dog?! You never told me you gotten a dog?".
Really... HOW does she look anything like a dog!
"Mum..." I sighed, facepalming. "You're blind as a bat, you know that?".
My mum completely ignored me, she was to busy interacting with the "dog" in front of her. Luna who was sitting down with a raised eyebrow, was confused at what was happening. Even though she was just called a dog not that long ago.
"Aw, how cute!" She awed. "You even gave her a princess tiara." She points at Luna's tiara.
"Mum!" I exclaimed, as the skin on my face starts turning shades of red.
"Madam, We can assure you that we are not a dog." Luna started, making my mum gasped in shock.
"She talks?!"
Things for my mum were getting weirder and weirder for her, it wasn't just her only finding this. Also Luna was finding this weird, not only because she was called a dog but also for that this human in front of her wasn't panicking.
It was my time to step up and end this whole weirdness for the both.
"Ok, it looks like I have some explaining to do" I said, walking timidly towards Luna's side. "Mum, this is Luna, Princess Luna. She's -".
"Princess!?", she exclaimed. She bends to her knees lowering her head, bowing to her.
"Rise, for we are not thy ruler." Luna spoke in her royal tone. My mum risen back up to her feet.
"My name is Louise" My mum who is now Louise spoke.
"As I was saying," Getting back to the conversation at hand. "Luna here is a... winged unicorn?" I questioned facing Luna.
"The term for it is Alicorn." She answered.
"Right, Alicorn" I turned back to face Louise, continuing the explanation. "We met three days ago in the city park, at night. She came out of nowhere and needed help getting back home."
"Is she lost?" She asked shocked, I answered by nodding.
"I had to help her out. I couldn't just leave her out there in the city." I turned to Luna, who was rewarding me with a smile, to which I smiled back.
"Thy son here is a stallion of honor and of heart" Luna complemented. Me and my mum laughed a little at the word stallion used instead of the word man.
"Well, I wouldn't say stallion." I scratched the back of my head sheepishly. "But of a man you would say."
"Why not?" My mum said cheekily, Patting me hard on the belly. "You're build like a stallion."
"Not helping mum" I said through the skin of my teeth, grunting with closed eyes. Luna laughed silently. Now that thats out of the way and everyones on the ok with each other there was one thing left to say. "What now?".
"How about you come back home?", She asked thoughtfully. "I do miss you alot honey."
"Mum, my home is here now, I don't live there anymore remember?". My mum looked down upon the floor, frowning. "Besides, I need to -" I stopped as a burning smell entered my nostrils. "Is it me or do I smell burning?" I questioned.
"Fire!" Louise screamed, pointing at the source.
We turned around and jumped back as the Television was now on fire. I rush in towards the kitchen, opening into the cabinets searching for a fire extinguisher. "Ah-ha there you are!" I said as I pulled out the fire extinguisher, running back into the livingroom. I held the extinguisher nozzle aiming towards the fire.
"Halt!" Luna shouted as a wing spreads in front of me. "Let us handle this as t'was our doing." She pleaded. She faced her head at the Television and spreader her legs more apart. Her horn then started to glow as she powered it up. My mum gasped in amazement, as this was her first time seeing Luna use magic. A small magical ball appeared at the tip of her horn growing larger until it was more of the size a tennis ball, it then turned into an orb of water.
‘She isn't gonna shoot water at the television? is she? I wondered. Yet again I could be wrong. Luna leans her head closer as her spell is about to cast. ''Yes she is!" I alerted, grabbing the extinguisher and running in front.
I stopped, staring at her with my arms out "Luna don't!" I shouted. The orb started to shrink until it was the size of a pea, disappearing. Luna stood back up legs straight, looking at me with a puzzled worry look. "Just let me handle it" turning to the television, aiming the extinguisher. I pulled the handle on top of base part, releasing the foam. The foam slowly overpowered the flames, leaving nothing but smoke and melted plastic and other burnt television materials.
I removed my hand off the handle, dropping the now empty extinguisher by my side. I slowly walked on by the side of the television, removing the plugs from the wall sockets. "Rule number one," I said, walking by Luna's side. "Never! Ever! Use water on a electrical fire" i said in a serious tone. "Don't you know what would of happened if I didn't stop you!".
"Gavin!" Louise shouted.
"What!"
"Stop shouting and lets get this T.V out of here. There is a skip at the back of the building, inside of the car park." Pulling the rest of the wires and cables out carefully. "We can put it in there".
"Fine... Lets get this over with" I growled. I stood at the opposite side of the television carefully placing my hands on an unaffected part that didn't get caught in the fire. We both lifted it up and walked out onto the outside corridors, closing my apartment door and towards the elevator.
Just outside at the back the busted television was now inside the skip. It hasn't even been two months ever since I bought it and look at it now. Just another scrap heap of shit. ‘This princess better bloody have insurance in this Equestria place...‘ I said in my mind, walking to the back door.
*cough* *cough*
I looked back, seeing that Louise who'd just fake coughed for attention as I was just about to go back inside. Sighing, I turned and faced her. "What is it?" I asked.
There was a pause before she gave me a concerned stare, folding her arms. "You're being rough" she said.
"Excuse me?" I replied, not coming on to what she is meaning by that.
"You're being rough on Luna".
"I'm not being rough on her" I denied, making my mum sarcasticly reply with a "hmm, sure you are..." sound.
Knowing that she was mostly right I sighed and slumped on the doorsteps. "I'm just getting frustrated..." looking down at the ground. "Things are happening so fast this week". My mum sat down next to me, lifting an arm over my shoulder and pulling me closer to her. "I just want things to be normal again..."
Unknown to us we had a little friend listening in throughout the conversation.
When returning back to my apartment I was expecting Luna to be sitting near the door waiting for me, but she wasn't there. I searched the living room and then the kitchen, but she was no where to be seen. I was about to shout on her before I looked inside the bedroom but I didn't as the one I was about to call was there on the bed, staring at a window, with a saddened expression on her face.
I had to admit it... I was feeling down, just looking at her like that made me feel guilty about the way I spoke to her. I slowly walked inside, gently leaving a small open gap at the door. At the corner of her eye I came into view but she didn't turn to face me, she still faced away from me. I gingerly sat down next to her looking away as well, twiddling with my fingers and thumbs also thinking of what to say to apologize.
"Luna..." I started.
"What is it?!" She responded quite seriously, still looking away.
"I'm sor-"
"Sorry? For what! For being rough? Or for us being here?!" She asked, now changed into anger.
"What?" Whats that suppose to mean?" I asked confused.
"Thou know well what we mean?" She jumped off the bed landing on all fours, keeping that same angry expression now her face. "Does "I just want things to be normal again" ring any bells?"
As much as I wanted to not admit it... shes right. It did ring bells.
"Luna... Please don't take it the wrong way, I was-".
"Thou was what!? Wishing things were "normal" again? Wishing for us to begone!" She lowered her head, sniffing at a tear appeared on her left eye running down her cheek.
My heart sank as I looked down at the floor. "I wish you weren't here"? What was I hearing from her? I would never say that to another being. I looked back at her, she is sitting on her rear, her tail culled up around her side. Also tears leaking out of her closed eyes, running down through her cheek until they reached the end of her nuzzle, dropping to the floor.
I leaned forward placing a open hand under her nuzzle, lifting her face up gently. She opened her watery eye as she saw me looking directly at her. "I would never wish for you to be gone" I said softly. "Why on earth would I say to a good friend to leave?" Leaving a small hopeful smile.
"T-Thou mean i-it?" She said through sniffles, me giving her a nod with warm small smile.
Luna closed her eyes deeply trying to resist more tears escaping. Luna leaped off the floor, both forehooves spread far, ready to land on target... me. She landed on me making me fall backwards onto my backside. Both forehooves around my neck, both hindlegs stretched straight backwards and a weeping angels head on my chest. I accepted her hug, leaning my head above hers.
"W-why did t-thee say those things?" She started to calm down slowly.
"What things?"
"Wishing that things were normal again?" She calms down looking at me with those sad teal eyes.
"I didn't mean to say that, I'm just frustrated thats all" Staring back at her.
"What is it that frustrates thou, young Gavin?" She questions.
I looked up, starting at the window instead of her. "I don't know? Maybe because things have been happening fast lately and I don't know if I'm ready for more that comes my way..." I worried thoughtfully.
Luna leaned her head more on my chest, closing her eyes. "For whatever comes our way," I faced her with confusion, she then faces upwards at me with a determined smile. "We can do it together."
"As friends?" Leaving out a fist.
"As friends" she accepts by bumping her hoof back at my fist. We then continued to cuddle until a certain someone entered the room.
"Aw thats SO cute!" A voice awed.
"Mum!" Me and Luna separated, me standing up with red on my cheeks while Luna covered herself with her wings, saving herself from embarrassment.
"Gavin get yourself packed because your coming to stay for a while back home". She said, trying to hold her excitement.
"Mum, for the last time. I'm not going and you can't make me." I said firmly, crossing my arms.
"Ok then," she sighed. But then smirked wickedly, "I'll just have to stay here and embarrass you in front of your-"
"OK! I'M PACKING UP!" I replied quickly, pulling out clothes of the drawers.
"Works everytime" she smirked, making Luna giggle with laughter.
