Lunar Rainbows
Chapter 2: Building Friendship
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was a brisk and chilly morning in Canterlot. It was just before dawn, Luna paced back and forth in her bed chambers, she was nervous. She walked to her window and peered out onto the castle grounds.
"What will I do? What if she isn't there? Should I even go? I don't know I can find it."
She flew over and say on her bed. She thought for a moment then made up her mind.
"No, I must go, this is my one chance of making a friend after being a monster for a thousand years." She put on her saddle bag and trotted to her window once again. She looked toward the horizon where the sun was just starting to show. She stretched her wings and took off. She felt the cool morning air in her face, it felt good, she gradually began to calm down.
After some time of flying, she spotted Ponyville in the distance. As she drew closer, she noticed there were no ponies out and about, then again it WAS still early. She flew low over Ponyville and found Rainbow Dash's cloud home at the edge of town. She slowly flew up to it and gently touched down. She approached the entrance archway. She peered inside.
"Rainbow Dash? I'm here!" She got no answer. She took one step inside.
"Rainbow? Are you here?" She took a few more steps in.
"HEEEEEEEYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Dash came flying out of a hallway towards Luna. Luna screeched as Dash tackled her to the ground. Dash stood over her face and laughed.
"Scared ya didn't I! Sorry u couldn't resist!" Dash said between bursts of laughter. Luna looked up at her and laughed a little bit.
"Yeah, I guess you did." They looked into each others eyes for a moment. Luna felt a sudden strange feeling in her chest and it flustered. She couldn't describe the feeling, it was pleasant, but it made her face turn dark purple in embarrassment. Dash looked at her funny.
"You ok? Hey don't worry about me scaring you, I've done to almost everypony."
"Yeah, it's that, I didn't think you would get me that easily." Luna replied lowing she was lying. Dash offered her a hoof up. Luna accepted it and brushed bits of cloud off of her legs. Dash led Luna up to her (Dash's) bedroom and sat on her bed.
"Not really much to do a grand tour, I don't spend much time here anyway, usually just come here to sleep and play video games occasionally. Luna sat down and looked around, not saying anything. After a moment, she spoke up.
"I'm sorry Rainbow, I'm not very good at this. I don't really know what to do."
"Hey, no worries, I get nervous sometimes too. Hey I know! Ever played Wonderbolt Dash?" (Pony equivalent to our Need for Speed Carbon. Don't worry, we'll get to more violent gun games later) Dash asked.
"N-no, I can't say I have." Luna replied. Dash hopped off her bed and flipped on her Xbox console.
"Well you are missing OUT! I'll show you the basics." After playing Wonderbolt Dash for a few hours, (keep in mind that Luna had a lot of fun playing it) Luna and Dash decided to take a break. They went and sat on the roof cloud of Dash's home.
"That...That was fun!" Luna exclaimed as she laid on her back to watch the clouds.
"Heck yeah it was! You caught on quick!" Dash replied back. Luna closed her eye for a moment.
"Thank you, Rainbow Dash, I haven't had such a good time for...well a thousand years."
"No problem Princess, I think you and I are going to become good friends, know what I mean?" Dash said, rolling on her side. Luna looked over and looked into Dash's eyes again, and again she felt the strange feeling. She quickly looked away to avoid Dash noticing. Dash smiled and rolled onto her back again. After hanging out for a few more hours, Luna sad her goodbyes and left. She was tired from all the fun she had and couldn't wait to be with Dash again.
