Dream Mare

After the little clothing fiasco, I decided it would be best to find something for Luna and I to do to pass the time.

"You wanna watch TV?" I asked her as she sat down next to me.

"What?" she looked at me as if I had just asked her if she knew what cold fusion is.

"You know, TV." I repeated, pointing towards the 52-inch flatscreen mounted on the wall opposite to the sofa.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand. We do not have such a strange device in Equestria." she explained.

Now I would tell you exactly what I said to explain how a TV and the remote works to Luna but considering the fact that it actually took about twenty minutes to explain everything enough for it to make sense, I would rather not. So I'll just skip to the part where I actually turned on the TV. As soon as I hit the power button and the TV turned on, Luna jumped behind the couch like she was in a Rambo movie. Can you blame me for laughing.

"It's alright, just sit down, i'll put on a movie." I chuckled "Wait...do you have movies in Equestria?"

"Yes but only on film reels." she answered as she sat back down on the couch.

I decided to have a little fun with her and ordered a movie from Netflix. I put on the first "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movie (Yes I know, I'm a dick).

As the movie started I felt Luna grab my forearm. I looked over and she was staring at the TV with curiosity and wonder. When it got to the first death scene, Luna yelped and tightened her grip, digging her nails into my arm. The situation didn't change throughout the movie. Every time the movie got scary, she would yelp and dig her nails into my forearm.

When the movie ended I turned off the TV and turned my head to face Luna.

"Uh you can let go now." I told her and she let go of my arm as her face turned slightly red.

"So what did you think?" I asked her.

She turned to face me before giving me a bemused look.

"Well I didn't appreciate the attempt to scare me--"

"The successful attempt." I added. She used her magic to launch a throw pillow at my face. Can't say that I didn't deserve it.

"Yes well...I'll admit the film was exceptional..." her expression turned serious" But the next time that you try to scare me I will not hesitate to teleport you to the moon." she warned.

"Okay I'm sorry." I chuckled.

I started to trying to think about something else we could do when it occurred to me...

"Oh shit!"

"What, what's wrong?" Luna asked, alarmed.

"I just realized that I never called my boss to tell him I wouldn't be at work today. Hang on a sec." I grabbed the phone next to the couch and called the bar. Luckily I had my boss's number on sped dial. Stan was a pretty cool guy and I knew he wouldn't press too deep to find out what was going on.

The phone rang twice and he picked up.

"Hello?" a raspy voice said from the other end of the call.

"Hey Stan, it's Miles."

"Miles...where the hell are you?" He asked. He sounded pissed.

"I'm sorry boss, something came up last second and--"

"Jesus Miles, calm down I'm not mad. Just call next time you can't make it to work." he interrupted.

"Really?"

"Really!" he reassured.

"Thanks boss." I said, hoping he wouldn't ask any questions.

"No problem. So what happened?"

GODDAMN IT ALL!

"Sorry boss, I really can't say. I'll explain at work tomorrow." Wow I really pulled that one out of my ass (that's what she said).

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow."

I hung up the phone and turned around to find Luna only millimeters away from my face.

"YEEAARGH!!" I screamed for obvious reasons.

"What is that device?" she asked.

"Well first of all, I appreciate the heart attack." I said with an annoyed tone. "Second of all, you mean you don't have telephones in Equestra?"

"EquesTREE-a." Luna corrected. "And no we don't."

"Well basically, here's how it works." I started. " You dial the phone number of the person you want to talk to and if they pick up their phone when it rings, then you'll be able to talk to them. When your'e done talking to them, you just hit the end call button and put the phone back on the reciever." I explained.

"Hmmmm...interesting." Luna responded.

A few seconds later I could hear both of our stomachs growling and I realzed that neither of us had eaten lunch.

"C'mon I'll make us something to eat." I invited her into the kitchen/dining room.

"What do humans eat normally?" Luna asked.

"We're omnivores so we can eat just about anything. Within reason of course." I answered.

Luna suddenly froze in her tracks.

"Wait...so do humans normally eat...meat?" she asked.

"Um yes, why?" I asked nervously.

Luna suddenly started turning green and ran towards the bathroom. A few moments later I could hear loud retching sounds coming from inside the bathroom. A few minutes later the retching sounds stopped.

"There's mouthwash next to the sink to get the taste out of your mouth. It's the bottle labeled 'Listerine' but don't swallow it. Just spit it back out into the sink." I hollered."And if it makes you feel any better, humans don't eat horses."

Luna staggered back into the dining room. I pulled out a chair so that she could sit down.

"So what animals DO humans eat?" she asked.

"Mainly cows, pigs, and chickens." I answered her."How about a salad?" I asked, not wanting to delve any deeper into the subject. She nodded.

After lunch we both sat back down on the couch and watched a few more movies. Around 5:00 for dinner we had, surprise surprise, more freaking salad. Then it was back to vegetating on the couch for about another six hours with me thanking God that Netflix doesn't charge per movie. Around 11:00 I decided it would be best for us both to turn in. Since Luna was my guest I let her take my bed while I slept on the couch.

I plopped down onto the couch and  fell asleep almost instantly, dreaming of the mysterious new woman in my life.
