      Well as usual, Luna was looking in her mirror while doing her hair. And as usual she was thinking about the one thing on her mind, colts. Though, she still was tongue tied about what happened at her celebration for saving equestria with Derpy. That question lies at the top of her head, Do I love him? Even she didn't know the answer, but not even her own sister could tell Luna what she was feeling. But Luna had to know. So when Luna went on her daily walk, she saw Applejack carrying a basket full of apples and Big Mac with a cart also full of apples. She decided to say hi to the two when they made their first delivery.

      "Hello there fair Applejack, Big Mac." Luna said in her royal voice.

      "Howdy there Princess Luna! What brings you here?" Applejack said in her country voice.

      "Oh just on my daily stroll to see how the ponies are doing. Where's your brother?" Luna asked. Applejack however looked at Luna with confused look on her face. She thought Luna was crazy.

      "You wanna see ma' brother?" Applejack asked.

      "Umm...yes I wanna talk to him. Please?" Luna asked again.

      "Well he's doing the rest of the deliveries. I'm a bout' to head back on to the farm to help Granny Smith. But if you wanna talk to him he'll be at the carrot farm working." Applejack answered finally. Luna had a perplexed look on her face. ALL DAY?! But I must speak to him!Her only chance to talk to him was to meet up with him at the carrot farm. So Luna went on and galloped to the carrot farm, and there she saw him helping with the others push dirt to grow more crops. When they all took a break, Luna ran to Big Mac.

      "Hello! F-F-Fair B-B-Big Mac." Luna said out of breath. Big Mac turned around when he saw that Luna had hit the ground.

      "Luna!" He said, "Are you ok?"

      "O-O-Of course I'm o-o-ok." She replied. That's when Big Mac helped her up. Luna knew that this was her chance to talk and get to know Big Mac before she does what she always do, jump to thoughts. So for the next couple of hours, Luna and Big Macintosh talked.

      "So other than carrying apples and pulling heavy charts, what else do you do?" Luna asked.

      "Well nothing much. That's all I do really. I've never gone out for fun." Big Mac answered. Luna was shocked."I never knew Big Mac never did anything fun. I gotta make it up to him." Luna thought. The two sat there in a awkward silence until Luna finally decided to speak.

      "Well umm..if your not busy this Friday, you wanna go to Sugar Cube Corner for some milkshakes?" Luna asked kindly.

      "Uh sure I guess I wouldn't mind Luna." Big Mac answered nervously.

      "Oh. Great! I'll see you then. Wanna....talk more?" Luna asked with butterflies in her stomach.

      "Sure! I love talking to you." Big Mac replied. With that response, Luna fainted to the ground.

      "Luna! Are you ok?!" Big Mac asked.

      "Umm.....yea I'm just fine." She replied. For the rest of the day, Luna and Big Mac talked about many things. Then, at dawn, Luna decided to head back to the castle and get ready to raise the moon.

                                                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Back at the farm, Big Mac put all the apples in baskets to set them up for the morning. Just then, Applejack came to talk to her beloved brother.

   "Hey Big Mac, so, I heard that you talked to Luna. How was it?" She asked.

   "It was, alright. She kept acting weird. She asked if we could go get milkshakes on Friday." He replied.

   "Oh, thats nice. But remember what Granny Smith said, She doesn't want you falling in love with the wrong pony." Applejack reminded him. Big Mac knew that she was right. Even if he had a chance to get to know her, he would never have a chance to even get her to be his girlfriend. So he had thought, and knew that his own little sister, was right. Back in Canterlot, Luna had been busy playing video games with Derpy. She had invited her over since she doesn't know much people that play games as best as her, but Derpy. Celestia, came in to tell Luna that it was time to raise the moon.

    "Luna." Celestia called, "It's time to raise the moon."

    "Kk, just need to finish this level first." Luna replied.

    "No, your gonna raise the moon!"

    "But I wanna finish-"

    "LUNA! Young mare, you must raise the moon or there will be chaos in equestria."

    "I'm sure the ponies are patient, besides they like your sun better. I'm sure nothing is diff-"

    "ENOUGH!" Celestia yelled, as the magic from her horn went to the cord of Luna's game console. She unplugged it.

    "Celestia! What's your problem!? I was on level 129! It'll take me weeks to get back on that level!" Luna yelled. Celestia made a big glare at Luna which calmed her down. Celestia then took the game console, and threw it in the trash. Luna stood in shock and started to cry. Celestia tried to comfort her, but Luna slammed the door on her face.

    "I guess you can tell Luna that I'll see her tomorrow. Bye now." Derpy said as she jumped to the door way and left.

    "Luna can we just talk about this." Celestia said.

    "No! Go away!" Luna yelled. Luna was distraught. She never realized her own sister would take something so precious away from her, again. Luna was crying her eyes out. Until she saw a purple smoke come from her mirror.

   "Luna, oh Luna." The smoke called.

   "Who's there!? Show yourself!" Luna yelled.

   "Oh, I think you know me very well. In fact, I was who you were born into."

   "No...It can't be..."

   "But it is. You may thought that I was gone, but I never left, I was always inside of you, each and every night. You can't change that, no matter how much you try. I will always be inside of you." The smoke said as it disappeared. Luna was frightened.
