Dreamers

"Come, children" Princess Luna commanded once Business Sense made his way home. Summer's parents had left, of course with hugs and a few hundred bits of “spending money”.

From the castle, they left in Luna's black and dark blue carriage through the city. Everyone stopped to bow, and every so often she would stick her hand out of the semi-transparent dark blue curtains to wave, especially if it involved a small child.

Summer Radiance and Starry Oath were silent the whole time, unsure of what to say. Their hands were still clasped together.

"So what now?" Summer asked, finally breaking the awkward silence of the ride.

"A few things, my child. I will go through them when we arrive at the academy."

The hand holding turned into his arm over her shoulder, and she was resting her head on him, watching the city slowly pass by them.

The carriage arrived back at the front of the academy, the classes that were there when they left were long gone, replaced with a new batch of students for the same lesson. The new batch of students looked on as their Princess of the Night stepped out of the carriage, accompanied by two students, which peaked their curiosity about them.

As before, Summer and Star were holding hands, walking down the halls of the academy right behind Luna. Anyone in the halls bowed to her, which made going through the semi-crowded halls easier.

"As students of my academy, you will do your daily classes with the rest of the student body, but at night you will have a full course in the dream realm. You will be asleep a half-hour before your peers, and will be up half-hour before them, which will give you early access to the cafeteria, right after your showers, which are in the new dorms that you both will occupy away from the general body."

"Sounds like a good deal," Summer smiled

"First in the showers and first to eat? Where do I sign up?" Star added.

"I knew you would like those arrangements. Now we will get you settled in."

They went into a familiar room, the uniform room. Uniforms of all sizes were there, be it school uniforms or athletic uniforms. The man behind the counter was old, he was cranky to everyone, except two women that were important to his life.

"Morning Princess, what brings you to this decrepit corner?!" he said, with a smile reserved for his two princesses.

"Morning. These two students need the black uniforms, enough for two weeks."

"Right away!" the old man happily said, disappearing to the back and rounding up the clothes. Their names were already given, so he knew our sizes

"Wait, wait! I like the clothes I have" Summer protested, preferring the white and cream uniform instead of the black and white ones that were their new uniforms.

"You see, child." Princess Luna said with a rare grin. "The good guys wear black."

At least one pair was given to them, the rest would be waiting for them in their new rooms. But, it was time to change into their new uniforms.

"It's time to change, children," Luna said, her hand gesturing to the two stalls, with a brown heavy curtain as its door.

"We could just change in the same stall, what says you, Summer?" Star asked seductively. Summer giggled, Luna glared at him.

"Okay, nevermind," he said as they both disappeared in their own stall.

"Hey summer, you're not mad about all this, are you?" Starry Oath asked as they were changing, their conversation having to go past the wooden wall that was their stall.

"Not as I was before, and I wasn't mad at you, I was just mad at the whole situation. I seriously thought I was going to lose everything I worked my entire life for," she replied.

"You mean everything your father made you work for?"

"Basically, yes," she giggled

"It feels surreal now," Summer added "I mean, I was raised my whole life to be in this academy, only to be told you're going to another one, and that one is better for your potential position to boot!"

"Oh yea, I remember those days. You couldn't go out to play because you had to study for the addition test, which was a guaranteed a plus for you even if you didn't study!"

"Yea. Again, surreal."

Star made a record scratch noise and continued "Freeze frame. Yep, that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation."

Summer began to laugh. "Stop!"

With his best impersonation of Summer, he continued "This is me, Summer Radiance, and my goofy boyfriend by the name of Starry Oath. We were two kids doing kid things, making out, going to school, and then bam! We are now wearing goth school clothing and play dream maker."

"I swear I will hurt you!" she yelled.

"Coming this fall!" he shouted as he began to sing. "We're the kids in Equestria, oh-oh-woah! We're the kids in Equestria oh-oh-woah, everybody lives for the music-go-round. "

"Okay! That's it!" star hollered as she ran fully clothed out of the stall and charged into his. He was still shirtless, but that didn't stop her. She couldn't stop laughing as she started swinging at him. He can only have his hand to protect him as Summer continue to swing, hitting him in his arm or any part of his chest not covered by his arms. He fought back and wrapped his arms around her to keep her arms pinned to her side. They calmed down from the roughhousing and started to kiss and giggle between those kisses.

Luna cleared her throat, interrupting the couple.

"Sorry, princess," they both said.

"I'm not upset, I understand young love, but we must hurry before lunch!"

In their new uniforms, which was the same design as Celestia's sweater vest and pant/skirt uniform only black, they went to the top floor of the main building, which was restricted to normal students. When they entered, they were surprised. It was a rotunda with many doors. The only open room in the rotunda was the two bathrooms on the other side.

"Instead of the barracks-style sleeping arrangements, you will be sharing a dual room with a partner. Bathrooms with their own shower stalls are in the front and a wreck room at that door where you can relax after dinner with your peers. We will organize the rooms to have you room with another student of your proper gender." Luna said.

"Princess? Star and I were thinking that we want to share the room together." Summer asked.

"We did?"

"Shut up!" she said as she gave him a playful shove.

"Child, you must understand how uneasy the administration and I will personally feel about it," Luna said.

"I understand princess, but I feel that we would be more compatible staying together than someone we barely know."

Luna sighed," very well. But, keep in mind: if you end up expecting, you will no longer have a place here in the academy, both mine, and my Sister's,"
