Pinkie Pie's POV

A Lunatic Dream: 1

All of a sudden, I noticed Luna Lulamoon; our Princess of the night, as she landed before me.

“Greetings, Pinkie Pie. Nice to see you!” she spoke, in her more dreamlike voice.

“Hiya, Luna. Likewise. Some time since you visited me!” I responded in an uncharacteristically unhyper voice.

“Yes, I know. You certainly did fulfill my missions for you in an outstanding fashion, even if we can’t speak of these events to any Pony or otherwise. With a few exceptions!” she prompted.

“If they knew, would they ever trust me with anything! I understand that some things are not to be known. I hope this is one of your more happy visits. Even if I would still perform my very best either way!” I responded.

“This will go well with your calling. I want you to spread some joy to the citizens of Philiedelphia; I trust you know how to go there, like no other Pony. Your friends will be with you on this occasion, so you don’t have to do it alone. As a matter of fact, you will need their cooperation and they will be notified!” she continued.

“Philadelphia? This is why you need me on this quest, I hope this is like the Convention you had me setting up earlier!” I suggested.

“Oh yes, the Convention. I heard it was a blast, in every sense of the word. This is the spirit I was after; even if it will be different, this time!” she explained, in a more excited voice.

This is when I noticed Rarity walking in on us with a set of strange looking suits I kind of recognized from my earlier adventure at the Canterlot High.

“Welcome to the party!” Luna exclaimed.

“I take it, she is just on time now?” I suggested.

“Thank you, Princess Luna!” Rarity responded.

“Right on the mark; quite punctual, as ever!” Luna confirmed.

“These suits are part of my mission, I take it!” I responded.

“This will be glorious!” Rarity exclaimed; in a more excited tone, along with Luna.

“Exactly. A different party, from your previous once. It is called Summer Camp!” Luna pointed out.

“This is where you need my help; as beautiful as these suits are, they will never fit the participants of your camp. I can fix that for you. I take it, this is why you invited me to this party, Luna?” Twilight sparkle interrupted, as she entered the room.

“Well said, my dear new fellow Princess. It would never have been the same without you. I am so happy Celestia picked you out. I think you have just the spell we need for this to work. Besides, you are the one best versed with the participants of the party. I hope you don’t mind the pun, Pinkie Pie. I know you were there and lifted the roof in their latest edition of their party at Canterlot High. I know they will never forget your efforts!” Luna pointed out.

“You know how I love a good pun, Luna!” I responded.

“Time for a small demonstration; in order to see if the spell does what you are expecting, Luna!” Twilight put forth, her horn aglow; just before she sapped the first suit, making it glow brightly for a moment; leaving only a slight gloss to the rubbery fabric.

“This does look about right; try it on, Pinkie Pie!” Luna responded.

While I picked up the first stocking; Twilight Sparkle sapped the next suit with her magic, giving the same result. Only this was a different suit, intended for a human to wear.

While I slipped the stockings on, pulling them all the way up; she sapped the second suit, with the same result as with the previous two.

Once I had pulled the stockings all the way up; I picked up the gloves, even if they do look like a pair of stockings; just for my forelegs, which kind of is the point. The difference is that I have to use only one hoof as I pull it up the other leg. Then I picked up the final piece of the suit, pulling it on. Now I look as if I was wearing a shiny black bathing suit and four stockings in matching colour and material.

“This feels odd, but discomforting familiar!” I exclaimed; just before the enchanted suit took hold of me, and her spell kicked in.

My premonition soon proved me right, as I felt my legs tighten up and grow thinner; before I felt a strange urge to stand up on my hind hooves in a manner only too similar to how I had been at the High-school not too far back.

“I feel as if I was going back to Canterlot High, all over again!” I exclaimed, as I rose to my hind hooves; as they changed into the more human looking feet, in a pair of what passed for shoes.

My stockings had apparently changed me into a Human girl; looking like I had been looking, once I had gone through the gate. My stockings, or rather stockings and gloves still reaching to just an inch from my body, while the suit covered my body nicely. I had been given a strange flashback, in the midst of my friends. I guess I didn’t mind.

“I do still recall that trip, the arrival was hard on me. At least I managed to bring the crown back and complete the mission. Although I made a few friends along the way; even if I guess it felt as if I had known them already, even if they had not known it as I met them!” Twilight responded.

“We all recall the event, even if the memory is more vivid to some of us!” Luna expressed, as she winked at me; while responding to Twilight’s point.

“That is exactly how we looked, back at the time. Even if we never wore suits quite like these. I kind of look forwards to seeing you like this, by tomorrow!” Twilight pointed out, just as Rainbow Dash sneaked into the room.

“Oh, is that how you looked, back at Canterlot High; Twilight and Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash inquired; with a very curious smirk, on her face.

“We all did. You and all the rest too, even if it was another you, Rainbow!” I teased back.

“You are going to be the weather manager on the project, Rainbow Dash. I guess you are going to enjoy the new uniform, the old Shadowbolt suit you saw me wearing, even if that was before you helped me with my emotional problems. Rarity will have the honour and joy to create it for you!” Luna put forth.

“Sounds like fun, even if it will take some of my free time!” Rainbow pondered.

“I am afraid that can’t be helped!” Luna expressed.

“Besides, Twilight and I will have our hands and hooves full!” I pointed out.

“Greetings, Applejack and Fluttershy. Welcome to our little group!” Luna greeted the final two Ponies.

“Howdy, Princess Luna. Nice to see ya. What d’ya have in mind for me, then?” Applejack inquired.

“Since you are good with apples, you will take care of a small orchard for me!” Luna explained.

“What would I do for you this time?” Fluttershy pondered, quietly.

“Firstly, the critters on and around the grounds; where I asked Pinkie Pie to have a Camp, will need care. After that, Rainbow Dash may require some assistance with the weather, from time to time; you did prove yourself highly qualified at it. There may be a few minor details, aside from this; if the needs arises!” Luna pointed out.

“I guess I couldn’t expect that to escape you, Princess Luna. You are after all guarding our dreams; aside from the small detail with a report most likely reaching you, in the royal Castle?” Fluttershy pondered, in her shy voice.
