A New Moon
Mornings... With a Touch Of Blue
Load Full StoryI woke up fairly normally, stretching my arms and legs, and I let out a huge yawn; I proceeded to curl up and turn over, not wanting to get out of bed, though one thing prodded me at the back of my mind - my limbs didn't exactly feel right. Sometimes when I wake up, I find that my arms, legs, or both even, are asleep due to lack of blood circulation. The feeling in my limbs wasn't the same as then, so I somewhat knew something was up. When something unusual occurs around me, I don't really freak out a lot, I just think things through and calmly assess the situation before doing anything, so I can make an informed decision. I thought to myself, 'Alright, my limbs don't really feel right, and I feel as though I have something brushing up against the back of my legs... a tail, maybe? Though if that's true, then...' I opened my eyes and waited for them to adjust, and then looked up to see if I had what I thought I had... I found something that I had not quite expected - a horn. A navy blue horn to be exact.
I sighed,"There's only one being I know of that has a horn that long and of that color..." The voice was unmistakeable. Yep, Princess Luna. Out of all the ponies to transform into while still on Earth, it just had to be Princess Luna. "Whelp, my life had just gotten more interesting..." I dreaded what lay ahead for me in this new body. "Well, at least I have magic to aid me where I once had the convenience of hands." With that little thought, I had all the confidence I needed to get myself out of bed, and take a good look at the rest of my body.... no, not like that, you lot of perverts. Once out of bed, I walked over to the bathroom that was connected to my bedroom, and looked at myself with the large mirror that stand before me. To be quite honest, I was expecting my mane to be flowing, and looking like a cosmic entity, but this was not the case - it looked like a normal pony mane, which was a few shades lighter than my coat, though it was the same length. The regalia was still on, shoes and all, and they were quite annoying really, and so I opted to take them off as soon as I finished this little adventure of self discovery.
Next on the list to check out, was what I was both excited to see, and dreading at the same time - the private area check.... I turned around and brought my rear into view, and looked behind me... I had found that I indeed acquired the equine version of those to points of exit..... or entry, depending on one's view of them. 'Damn Luna, you really keep things clean back there.... then again, you are a princess...' I took a good look at myself back there, and found that it looked quite eloquent actually....... Alright, enough about staring at my lady bits. I looked at my toothbrush, then at my left forehoof, then back at my toothbrush; this went on for another couple minutes, until I sighed in defeat, and tried to learn how to use magic. 'No better time to try and learn than when it needs to be used, I say.' With that thought in mind, I looked at the toothbrush in concentration, and focused my mind. "I just hope that theory on magic being pure determination was correct, because I am really not in the mood for some deep thinking at the moment."
At first the toothbrush didn't move, but then I calmed my mind and took another jab at it, this time directing my will at the thought of the toothbrush floating in front of me... surprisingly, it worked. I couldn't contain my excitement. "HUZZAH!" And I had instantly regretted doing that, as I had noticed I used the Royal Canterlot Voice, which was quite loud, and nearly shattered the mirrors... but that's not why I instantly regretted voicing my excitement. My parents were still at home, and sleeping; I just wished they were really tired, because though they are heavy sleepers, they can be woken up if the sound is loud enough. Yes, Luna's Canterlot Voice is that loud. A jackhammer sounds like Fluttershy's squeaking when compared to Luna's shouting. With baited breath, I waited for the inevitable waking of my parents and younger sister, Alena... Oh, sorry, Alena is my younger sister, she's just turned 13 last week, and on her birthday I had introduced her to ponies.... she still thanks me for showing her such an awesome series. Yes, she's a full blown pegasister, so what. Eventually I had concluded that my family was still sleeping, considering the clock on the wall in the bathroom read '7:00 am', which was a blessing. I may hate waking up in the mornings, this could be counted as an exception.
I levitated the toothbrush over to me, and carefully, tried levitating the toothpaste over as well... success! I unscrewed the toothpaste, then managed to get some perfectly on the brush... then the usual morning routine of brushing my teeth began. Five minutes later, I exited the bathroom sans plaque, and went downstairs to fetch something to nom on for breakfast. Entering the kitchen, I rummaged through the different cupboards, checking out the different cereals and other foodstuffs, but for some reason I had the strangest craving for a peanut butter and daisy sandwich. "Why daisies and peanut butter though? Why not something that works, like daisies with spinach leaves and iceburg lettuce and Italian dressing? Wait a sec, why am I even thinking like this? Curse this new pony form." I continued mumbling to myself as I couldn't find anything decent to satiate my hunger, and the constant thoughts of different flowers being mixed with veggies wasn't helping my cause. I eventually settled on something that both sides could agree on: TOAST!
