The Nightly Awkwardness of Luna

Princess of the Night

      The language classes worked and I was almost ready to journey the night, but I couldn't do it as Luna, as everypony would just see the crown, not the pony wearing it. I needed to pick a good disguise, nothing that showed that I was the princess, but still a cutie mark in a topic I knew about. I didn't want to give anything away, but if somepony asked about my cutie mark and I made a terrible choice, I could be stuck, I mean what if someone went and asked me to save their dying mare because I had a nurse cutie mark. It could make me a murderer. Also, there was the small matter of T̶i̶a̶ my sister finding out and currently, she hadn't been the most trusting. I mean the elements weren't great the first time and now she was just supposed to trust them again? I feel for her, I really do. Anyway, here's a photo of what I looked like.

      I decided that I would have an astronomy cutie mark, because I know so much about the stars. The cutie mark was no problem at all. The wings and horn though-or should I say lack of wings and horn could be a problem. It would be hard to get used too.

      I gathered some bits and new clothes. Soon, all I had to do was wait until the next night, but I wasn't worried. My plan was foolproof, nothing could possibly go wrong...


      Usually I found that Canterlot wasn't too hard to navigate, what with the street signs posted at every corner and maps for only a bit. But these signs wouldn't lead me to where I needed to go. No, what I needed were the backstreets and alleys, they would have the night. At least, that's what pinkie said...

     After about ten minutes, I found the place. I had gotten a little lost on my way, and had also stopped to buy some white powder off a young stallion. He said that once I had tried it I would never want to stop, but all sales ponies are like that. I hadn't tried any because I thought that my pink friend might like some too and if it was as good as he made out, then I might not leave her any. I was hungry though, so I wandered round for a while trying to find some food. I had to be quick though, or I would be late for pinkie, I was to meet her outside this building at 9, and it was 8:40 now.

      I met another stallion, this one said that he could satisfy my hunger, but only if I gave him 10 bits. This confused me, don't you have to pay different amounts for different foods? Maybe this was another thing that had changed?

      He lead me into a room, where he asked me to close my eyes. I obliged willingly. But then he started muttering about screaming. I began to tremble. What if this wasn't a restaurant? Then I felt something lick my face. I opened my eyes but couldn't see because it was dark. I felt something slap against my rear. I reared up to escape but something tightened around me. It felt like...rope? I needed help and fast, but the spell didn't wear off for another hour and I didn't have my horn or wings. I tried bucking but it was no use. I struggled against the taut rope which held me but it was in vain.


      I have never felt so violated in my life. After the...incident, I cancelled with pinkie and went home. Even after 3 baths and 5 showers I could still feel it on me. It felt sticky.


      I met up with pinkie two days later. We chatted for a bit and she mentioned a place downtown that she liked but I had to decline. I just wasn't ready to face anypony after the stallion.


      I think that sister knows that something is up.

      Celestia's looking at me.

      She's doing it again.

      I have to tell her.

      But I don't want to.

      What if she already knows?

      I can't talk about it.

      I need to talk about it.

      I'll never tell her.

      I'll tell her tomorrow.


Loony is sad. Something happened to her last night and detective pinkie is on the case...


Clue one:

This very yummy moon pie.

(Evidence was tested and tasted fantazing, fantastic & amazing.)

Although tasting good, this evidence wasn't helpful.

  Clue two:

(That rhymes!)

This stallion who claims that he 'tasted the night'. He said that him and her majesty 'did it'. I don't know what this means, but Twilight will know.

To the library!


I will find out why my sister is upset. I wont make the same mistake as last time.

This time I will save her.
