Luna scooted around the playroom groaning and moaning. The front part of her body was planted firmly to the ground as her hind legs pushed her along the floor. A bored look was plastered across her face. She shifted her movement and began circling her sister as she increased her moaning. Yet her moaning went unnoticed by the elder sister who seemed more interested in her stupid book she was reading than her sweet little sister.
“Tia…”
Silence.
“Tia…”
More silence.
“Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia-”
“What Luna?!” Celestia cried, finally averting her eyes to the circling blob on the floor.
“Play with me Tia,” Luna said, still sliding in her circle.
“No Lulu. I’m reading right now.” Celestia went back to her reading despite the bored shark that still circled her.
Luna shifted tactics and ceased her scooting and opted for a more direct approach. She stood and walked up to Celestia and began poking her in the side of the head.
“Tia. Tia. Tia. Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia…” she said, accompanying each ‘Tia’ with a small jab.
Celestia’s face began to burn red at the continued prodding, her face contorting with frustration. Finally, she could take no more.
“ENOUGH!!!” she cried, slamming her book shut and sending Luna scrambling for cover. “Luna, I don’t want to play right now I want to read.”
“But Tia, please?” Luna asked as she came out from behind the toy chest that had provided cover from her sister’s wrath.
“No Luna.”
“Please?”
“No Luna.”
“Please, please, please, please, please-”
“No Luna!” she cried as she stood and held her book in her magic. “You have to learn to play by yourself.”
With that, Celestia marched out of the room and slammed the door behind her. Luna’s face scrunched up with her own frustration as she poked out her tongue and let out a very loud raspberry. Finished with her taunt, which totally could have done in front of Celestia, she wiped her muzzle from the spit and plopped down on the floor, crossing her forelegs and setting her head on top.
“Stupid Tia!” she muttered. “Making me play by myself. How are you supposed to play by yourself anyways?”
She sat on the floor for what felt like forever trying to figure out what to do, her head starting to hurt from thinking. Just when her head was about to burst, she noticed the room becoming slightly warmer, even burning hot.
“Tia, you better not be playing a joke on–AAAHHH!!!”
She screamed and leaped onto the toy chest to avoid being burned alive by the lava that had appeared out of nowhere. Seconds later, the entire floor was covered in burning magma with only a few things scattered about that had not been completely engulfed yet.
“TIA!!!” Luna screamed only to be met with silence. That and the sound of bubbling lava.
She sat on the toy chest pondering what was happening and what she was going to do. Where did all this lava come from? Was Tia that mad at her that she made lava appear? No. Tia was good at magic, but not that good. Which means…
“Tia’s in danger! I have to warn her!”
Luna scanned the entire room, searching for a path that led to the door. Right in front of her was a stuffed Ursa Minor toy, smoking and burning from the lava but still with enough space for her to stand on. Just beyond that was a pile of blocks, enough for standing room but a fragile hoof hold. She would have to move quickly and be extra careful. Past those was her castle play set. A decent hoof hold and close enough to the door for her to get out, as long as she moved fast enough. Determination filled the little filly and she gave a smug smirk.
“Challenge accepted.”
She leapt to the Ursa and landed with a soft thud, causing the lava to slosh as her weight pushed the stuffed toy further down into the burning magma. She quickly jumped to the blocks before the Ursa became completely engulfed by the lava and landed right on top of a thin stack of the colorful cubes. She wobbled and swayed, as the small tower threatened to give way. She had to move quickly before it collapsed and sent her tumbling to her doom.
She made one last sway and began leaping out to the castle play set. But fate had other plans as the blocks collapsed from the mid-section of the tower causing Luna to lose her stance mid-leap and fall towards the burning magma. Time seemed to slow as she fell and yelled out her doom.
“Nooooo!!!”
As she landed, she felt the lava sear her flesh and char her whole body. She had failed and now Celestia was doomed. Luna flailed in the liquid as she sank down until she was totally engulfed. All hope was lost.
A second later she opened her eyes to find herself flailing about on the floor. The blocks were spilled across the playroom and the Ursa toy was squashed and flattened. Luna looked around to see everything normal, as though the lava had never even existed. Confusion took over and she jumped up and tore out of the playroom.
“Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia!” she cried as she ran towards her sister’s room.
Luna barged into Celestia’s room much to her sister’s frustration, though it had to be relief as Luna had almost died. The little filly bounded all about, flailing her hooves in a completely nondramatic manner and recounted what had just happened.
“Tia! I was just sitting there…uh…playing and then lava appeared! I don’t where it came from and I tried to escape! You should have seen me! I leapt to the Ursa then to the blocks and I almost made it to the castle but I fell to my dooooom!” She put extra emphasis and dread onto “doom.”
Celestia’s eyes twitched as she placed her book onto the floor. “You were using your imagination Luna. Now if you don’t mind, GO USE IT SOME MORE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”
Luna charged out of the room and slammed the door behind her before her sister’s wrath really destroyed her. She stopped for a moment and held up her forehooves, staring in awe and wonder.
“Imagination? So I can create things with my mind without consequences of death or pain? Such power.”
A sinister smile etched its way across her muzzle. She was already thinking of what she could do with this newfound power that she now held at her hooftips. Perhaps playing by herself would not be so bad after all.
Luna trotted back to her room, her mind abuzz with the idea of imagination. How had she not heard of it before? As she emerged to her room, something caught her eye. Curled up on her bed was a massive snake!
She scrambled back, her hooves clipping on the floor. How did this beast get into her room? She reconised the creature from her books. It was a snake from the horrible lands of Blaketa! She must protect her family! She lunged for the creature, her small wings flapping furiously.
"Get away!" She cried. Her little voice seemed to contempt the creature. It pulled its head back and lunged.
Luna barely managed to get out of the way. The reptile snapped it's jaws snapped where she had been standing a moment before. The creature let out a hiss before lunging again.
Luna had been expecting this. She summoned her magic and grapped a hold on the snake's head and tail. She jerked it up and let it go. But she had flung it up at an angle, and now the snake was coming right at her!
She let out a scream. She didn't want to get crushed!
A guard burst into her room. "Princess! What-?" The guard stopped. Luna was underneath her blanket, wiggling furiously. She let out a battle cry before shooting out of it and landed on the floor, her mane frizzy from static. Her cry of war changed to a cry of surprise and pain. The guard shook his head and helped the moon princess up, drying her tears.
Luna looked at him in surprise. "How did the snake not get you?" She asked.
The guard looked around, confused. "What snake?"
"That one!" Luna pointed a hoof at the blanket on the floor. "Huh?"
The guard chuckled. "It was your imagination, Princess."
Luna looked the blanket, then back at the guard. She started to laugh too, until the guard pulled himself together. "Alright, Princess. Be careful next time." He began to exit the room. "Oh, and Luna?"
"Yes?" The little filly asked.
"Don't go off and battle snakes right now. You're a little to young for that. But I'm sure, in a few years, you'll be battling Equestria's greatest foes."
