Molly was A Good Girl

Luna sighed out at how frustrated she had gotten with Celestia ruining her game. Yeah, she could just redo it all again in the stage, but right now the blue Alicorn was in a gaming slump. Luna sighed out, plopping her head along her forelegs and grunting out loudly into them. It had been her third attempt and she ended up losing to the simpliest thing.

"Stupid Goombas!" Luna groaned out feeling her voice dropping low to where she felt her tone falling like her game character was doing on screen.

"Oh Luna! I found the other WiiU controller, pad.....thingy." Said a humble bubbly voice. Floating down along Luna's balcony area. Trotting along inside and noticing her friend face down along her couch. "Whats wrong, Princess?"

Luna shot up from her depressed stance and giggled loudly. Finally noticing the Pegasus coming towards her. " Oh! DERPY! Ha ha ha! Just in time!" Luna said in a slight nervous fit. Her heart beating fast embarrassed that Derpy Hooves might see her in such a lousy state. A squiggle of a smile flinging up along her face as her cheeks burned a beet red. "Let's play!" Luna said in excuse as she brought her controller to her side with a glow of blue surrounding it.

Derpy in her naive nature jumped up and rushed to Luna's side. Choosing to sit on the floor having the bottom of the couch act as a resting place for her back. She plugged in her own controller and watched as Luna clicked away returning to the menu after a quick save. She watched the screen brighten with the words "Loading" filling up a good portion of their view. Luna looked over to Derpy and smiled. For once in her stressful night she had some type of comfort. Being with such a good pony like Derpy.

Derpy in turn seemed to have the same idea as she turned her head over her shoulder. Blinking her eyes as she caught Luna looking at her. Her smile turning big and wide as Derpy simply giggled at Luna. "Hee!" Derpy squealed out bringing her hooftip along her lips. This was enough to make Luna shoot up keeping her back straight and her lips curled inwards, refusing to smile. The blue Alicorn bit down on those appendages to avoid keeping them open in awe of how cute her guest was being.

"You smiled!" Derpy mentioned happy to be with Luna while the screen changed a different color. "Cool! I wanna be the kitty!....Oh? No kitty?" Derpy asked confused. Luna in her tense state seemed to look back at Derpy from behind her distracted reaction. It easily softened Luna's stress with each passing second that she was here. Just smiling with barely a word said.

"The catsuit? There's no catsuit until you get in stage." Luna declared as she felt her hooves move along her controller selecting co-op. Slowly she was beginning to forget her worries and enjoy her night just like she had planned to do. Before she could realize it she had whispered something to Derpy as a show of gratitude. "Thank you....Derpy."

"Eh? No problem Princess! That Goomba was after you. Oh! Look out!" Luna looked towards her screen and had forgotten they were ingame. A green shelled enemy made it's way to Luna, though through her quick reflexes saw a quick jump on the head. With Luna's foe trapped in it's shelled, Derpy yelled out in glee.

"Yay! So how do we get more time?" Derpy asked moving about with Luna's character in tow.

"Grab the time tokens! Right there!" Luna felt her excitement boil up at she pointed at the screen. Derpy looked back behind her a Luna whom only seemed to intensify her pointing her hoof at Derpy. "Right there!"

"Oh! OOOOH!" Derpy and Luna continued with the game and lost their minds in the gameplay. The tip of the grey Pegasus's tongue hung right out of her lips as she clicked upon her controller. Luna hunched over her own. Refusing to fall behind as Derpy started to get use to the game. As the hours flew by. Both Luna and Derpy seemed to play a couple of levels. Though the night was just starting to get late.

"Woo hoo! We beat stage 4!" Derpy raised her hooves up in an adorable fashion as the screen had their two characters dancing about with bright words on the screen reading "Course Cleared".

"Good job Derpy, but I think it's time we make this a real night to remember!" Luna insisted as she let her magic take hold of a far off case on one of her dressers. "O-o-o-o-o-ooo! Resident Evil: Revalationns. Oooo!"

"Hee hee! You're being silly." Derpy couldn't help but laugh at how much Luna's love for that particular series made her look not scary at all.

"Oh? You'll see. How about we play a little and see if it's scary or good or good and scary. Hopefully they didn't frag this one up for the series."

"Leon!" Squealed Derpy.

"Wha-?"

"You like Leon. You told me that one time, remember?"

"Oh, right. Thought you meant that costume for Halloween."

"Huh? You liked my Leon cosplay?" Luna felt her body jolt up as the disc flew out of the case and right into the game.

"OH LOOK! IT'S STARTING!" Luna held up a forced smile as her cheeks felt a furious rush of hot blood fill them.

"Yay!" Derpy replied forgetting about their conversation.

Luna took the reigns as she began playing the single player campaign. The pair of ponies watching as the game introduced a spooky eye that stared right back at them and a sudden change of scene shown off the main character. Luna began to traverse the stage she was given. which looked to be an abandoned cargo ship. One by one as the minutes flew by the main character opened doors and was weary of any trouble. Though Luna and Derpy could feel their nerves starting to quake, as the mental images of what awaited them flooded their heads.

"Don't go in there!" Derpy said scooting herself up onto the couch to sit by Luna's side. Staying within the light of the TV's beams.

"I have no choice, Derpy. For the series." Luna said bravely opening one door. Both ponies jumped as the door swung open and something fled behind some selves. The increasing note making both their ears stand on edge,

"You're not alone! Turn back now!" Derpy could feel her hooves trying to hide her gaze from the game as Luna's character strolled further in spotting nothing from the suspicious spot. Derpy ended up conversing with the character's questions hoping they wouldn't find what Luna and Derpy were expecting to see. Their character continued onward. finding other things lurking within vents. Blood dripping from the ceiling. And Derpy even gasped out at a corpse popping out from a nearby vent.

"Oh it's not that bad, Derpy." Though the grey mare disagreed as she began petting her blond mane. Trying to remain calm. The main character sticks her hand into some flesh like goop, which leaves poor Derpy rattling.

"Here it comes!" Luna says all excited like, daring the game to scare the coat off of her body. Both ponies staying strictly silent as a creature's red vision stalks their beloved character.

"No..." Whispered Derpy as Luna grinned, expecting more from the game as it predictably paced itself out.

"Yes..." Luna faced her fears and was soon feeling disappointment well up in her mind as the creature didn't even jump scare her but rather roar into their face. Luna frowned at the lame scare as Derpy panicked. "That's it? That was so l-"

The door to her room suddenly shot open as a large object towered over both ponies who were playing in the dark. Both Luna and Derpy jumped into each others' arms. With the menacing thing groaning out loudly, they held onto each other trembling in fear at the monster in front of them. Holding on for dear life expecting the creature to lunge at them any second now to end their lives.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"HEEEELLLLPPPP ME!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

The pair screamed for what felt like ten seconds as the loud groaning ended abruptly. "-OOOOh! Ohh! My head!"

"Wait a minute? A guard?" Luna was the first to stop her screaming as she noticed a stallion that was underneath the object. Luna's magic flicked her bedroom light back on and there it was. Staring her in the face with the word "SWAG" directed at her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Luna demanded. Frowning at the sight of that stupid toy that she was so desperate to get rid of earlier today.

"Ow!....Apologies your majesty! I had tripped and fell headfirst into your door. The floors are a bit wet and sticky for some reason." Steebeat the guard, laid under the banana, but soon was able to lift the thing back up with ease. The giant fruit made it difficult for Luna to sit properly as it merely took up too much space. Derpy was confused wondering why there was giant fruit in the room now.

"Oh! Thank goodness. We thought you were going to frag us." Luna looked over her shoulder and gasped out, as she felt the need to quickly let go of Derpy. Blushing yet again at how close she was with Derpy. Who merely just shuddered staying on Luna's neck. Which only seemed to aggravate Luna that Steel was staring at her.

"I'm so sorry! It will never happen again." Steelbeat explained hoping to keep his job after this fiasco.

"Think nothing of it Sir Steelbeat. Now what is it you wanted?" She rushed to the point hoping to go back to her alone time with her friend.

"Your, Majesty. I'm sorry to report that I-um...I can't continue to watch this 'thing'." He explained setting the banana down onto the ground. Which almost pushed Luna and Derpy off the couch completely. Her gaming room was narrow and quite smaller to make up for some great surround sound effects. So having that long thing taking up more than one third of the space alone was just cumbersome. By this point Derpy had calmed down

"I've failed in my duty. The task of guarding this one object was too much an ordeal. I cannot go on."

"Duty? I hoped you would have just tossed it in the trash by now." Luna said quite unhappy at the circumstances of how that swag banana didn't seem to wanna leave her alone.

"That was an option?!" Steelbeat yelled out. Wishing he had done so from the beginning.

"Yeah, it belongs to my sister. I don't want it and it's clear she isn't taking care of it." Luna explained hoping that Steel would simply leave soon enough. Her time with Derpy was being interrupted. Steel stared at the cursed item. Hating it even more as the mention of ownership changed within his mind. Now he couldn't just trash a Princess's property even if Princess Luna gave him permission. Celestia's wrath would be much more something to fear.

"Just get it out of here! I don't want it!" Luna yelled at Steel, who took that as an invitation to scram.

"Right away, Princess! My humbliest apologies!" Steelbeat bowed his head and walked right out the door backwardsonly to find his hooves meeting more wet floor. Disappearing behind a magically closing door. "Oop! Uup! OW! My head!"

"That was. Weird." Derpy told Luna. In which the Blue pony grimaced as her game seemed to end with the monster on the screen killing her character freely thanks to their little surprise.

"Still not scary." Luna huffed out trying to focus her attention on the game.

"You were scared too!" Derpy jumped onto Luna glomping her foreleg for hiding her fears.

"I was not! It was simply the game!" Luna gave an excuse as the two suddenly got into a tickle fight to make up for their rattled out nerves.
