Intro
-7:00pm-
"Are you sure you can do it? I don't want you to get found, Luna."
"Yeah, I'm not a baby anymore, I can handle just going to the market."
"I guess you're not a baby....... I don't kn-"
"Then I'll be going!"
"No, wait! I didn't say tha-"
"Lighten' up, sis, I'll be fine. No one will figure out I'm 'Princess Luna of the moon' okay?! Bye!" I shout as I run out the door.
Finally, I can get out of being royal. You have to be so perfect. I flip my hood over my head thinking of what to get. Ink, paper, glue (Dropped my crown), and envelopes. Not too much, not too little. Just enough for me.
-8:19pm-
"Now to get some glue." I mumble while I look at the map. I'm walking along the street, staring at my map (not looking where I'm going) when I feel my head touch something. A wall maybe? I look up to see a guy looking about my age. I walk a little back and shade my face so he doesn't see my face.
"Sorry! I was not looking at my surroundings! Did I knock any of you're things down?! I'll pick them up! If they're damaged I'll even pay for-" I step back again. My dress then trips me and I fall backwarks.
"No, it's alright. No need to worry young lady." He helps me up.
I look at him. Did he figure me out?
He looks at me,"Are you alright?"
"Yes....I'm okay."
"Oh,"He looks at my circle on my map."You looking for something?"
"Yes. I'm looking for some good glue."
"Oh, then let me help you, a..... What's your name"
Oh-no, he's asking for my name. If I tell him then he will...No, I can't.
"Moon. Moon Stone."
"What a beautiful name."
I blush at this, but at the same time I kind of feel bad.
"Thanks."
He leads me road after road until he looks at me and says,"So, do you live around here?"
"A....I guess. You?"
"Yeah. Over that hill."
"Oh, I once went there when-" I was about to say guards when I realize. Not everyone has guards."when my...Parents....A.....Went...Out of town to work!"
"Ah, isn't it beautiful place?"
"Yeah."
We spend the rest of the time to get there silent.
-7:34pm (after purchasing glue)-
"Thank you for guiding me....What's your name?Sorry I didn't remember to ask before.."
"Night Star."
"Thank you so much! Now I must go. Bye Night! Have a nice night"I began to walk away slowly.
"Wait, Moon!"
I stop to hear him.
He looks at me with a gentle look,"Can I see you again?!"
I frown.
"A....Well...."
"Can you meet me tomorrow at that tree?"He points to an old pine."At sunset?"
l look at him,"Okay..."
-7:40pm-
Luckily the castle wasn't far from the place I was because I was already tired. The castle doors looked so welcoming.
-8:03pm-
I'm lying on my very comfy bed when I hear the castle front door open. I open my door to peek and see who it is. And it's HIM! Night! I slam the door as fast as I can. Maybe he knew I was lying about my name!
But then I hear him say,"I'm here to become a guard, Princess Celestia."
Then I hear her reply,"Do you have your training done?"
"Yes. And all the qualifications."
"Wow, and at such a young age too. How old?"
"19"
"Okay, then let's find you a place to guard. Come into this room, it has the list of castles and such."
From then on all I hear is muffled voices.
-Next day, 9:37am-
"Hey, sister, who was that guy who came in yesterday?"
"Oh, him? He wanted to be a guard. He now will guard the front doors of the castle in the morning."
"This castle?" I say as I cross my fingers hoping she will say no.
"Yes."
I sigh softly.
