Previous Chapter

(Luna's POV)

When Applejack called "Sugar-cube" I was lost in memories. It had been centuries since I could have been around someone without me having royal duties, or them being afraid of me. I gave a small sigh, thinking of my friends before I became a princess. We would always prank the other adults when we were filly's and colts, I miss them. I felt a few tears trickle down my face, just like every time I think of them.......No matter, they are with my father now, prancing across the night sky, playing pranks on him......

I felt them hugging me, and I let them. "I'm sorry that I ruined the picnic, I was just thinking of my old friends......we haven't talked for a while."

Pinkie gasped. "Well then, we'll just have to go reunite you with them!"

I bit my bottom lip, my horn starting to glow a harsh silver, the moon so longer shining down softly on us, no it was harsh, and mean. I took a deep breath, and said, "The reason that we haven' t talked for a while, is because, they-they-they died." I broke off sobbing, my horn giving off a dim glow. "Excuse me, I will see you tomorrow. I just need to think and honor them." and with that, I turned and galloped away, tears streaming down my face, making it hard for me to see. I didn't see a rick up ahead, making me trip, and hit my head on a trunk of a tree, effectively knocking me unconscious.

Pinkie stood, not seeing or hearing anything while everypony talked around her until she snapped. "Alright SHUT UP!!!! We have a friend in need, and we need to go comfort her!"

They all quieted down, and together they marched in to the night, calling and looking for their lost friend.

(Luna's POV)

I awoke to a soft bed, and the smell of broth. I was hungry, I hadn't eaten at the picnic. The broth was in a bowl by my head, and I eagerly gulped it down. It tasted of carrots and mushrooms, and was quite good. "I see you're awake." A deep baritone voice said. I know that voice, it was a solider of the Night Guard. I had made it business ti know each of my guard. This pony's name was Ink Spot, and he was a unicorn with a grey coat, black mane and tail with a cutie mark of a piece of parchment with a large black spot on it.

"Hello,and you are?" I asked pleasantly, folding my front two hooves in front of me and looking at him straight in the eye. He had deep blue eyes, with a lot of depth in them.

"I'm Ink Spot, and I do not know your name."

"I am Silver Moon, and thank you for all this." I said gesturing to the bowl, the bed, and me.

He gave me a small smile, "Your welcome, and where did you come from?"

I answered "Ponyville"

He raised a eyebrow. "That`s a long way away, what happened?"

I raised my own. "Where are we?"

He laughed, and shook his head. "That's not a answer."

"Fine, I got upset, tried to run home, hit a tree, and passed out. Now I ask my question again, where are we?"

"Fair enough, you're in the outskirts of Unicorn Range." Had I really run that far? I wondered.

(Spike's POV)

"Silver Moon! Silver Moon, where are you?" I called out. I had been looking for hours, with nothing to eat. It was at least one in the afternoon. Silver Moon had left around nine.  My tears had long dried, but they were threatening to spill. We had not seen any sign of her anywhere.......what are we going to do, Faust, what am I going to do? I love Silver Moon,  where did she go?

I ran a bit farther until I collapsed from exhaustion. Where was she?!
