Out of the moon
First Day Back
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSo I guess it isn't every day you have to be stopped from trapping Equestria in eternal night. .
Things had changed on earth. Apparently, my sister has a good for nothing student by the name, Twilight Sparkle. And also she's the one who stopped me from making it night. I mean, hey! What's up with ponies not liking night? But there is that bit about eternal night.... that's embarrassing... Yeah, so I kinda learned a bit about the six ponies (Oh yeah, also called the Spirits of the Elements of Harmony). So, this little orange pony, Honesty, she likes apples and stuff. What's her name... Appletack- no that's not it... something about apples... Applejack! Yeah, so she's Honesty. Then there's a pink pain in the behind, Laughter. She never stops laughing or smiling, so she's obviously Laughter. I think her name's like... Pinkie Pie? Yeah, Pinkie Pie. Then there's a Pegasus who's all like, ' Oh my! She's going to kill me! Oh my! She's so, SO scary! Ahh!' and she's Kindness. I think her name's Flutterdye? Flutterkite? Fluttershy! Yeah, she's really annoying. Then this stupid Pegasus named Rainbow Dash, who's loyalty. Then there's this weird girly unicorn that's Generosity. I can't believe she's generosity! You wouldn't think so. Her names... Oddity. No no! That's not it. It's Rarity. Yeah, Rarity. Oh, and then there's Twilight Sparkle. The little magic maker of the pack. She's, of course, Magic. I still don't know what to think of her. Celestia seems to like her all right! She's a big stupid sister taker.
We were in a carriage coming back to this place called Ponyville. I never heard of it, but apparently, everypony else had. Celestia and I were in the front seat and the Spirits of the Elements- let's call them the main six, shall we?- were in the back. They were chattering away about how awesome they were on stopping me. I just wanted to scream. I was right there! But I stayed tall and proud. Finally we got there and we stepped out. My sister went over to talk to Twilight- her dear student, the sister taker- leaving me standing there. The ponies followed her, except for a few fillies playing around with stuff. Wait, were they putting that in their mouths? And they didn't spit it out? Alright, that was creepy. Some familiar smells drifted over to me. What was that? I walked over to the stuff the fillies were playing with. Food, my mind whispered. Food? Those fillies… they weren't playing with the food... they were... what's the word... eating! Yeah so, what some ponies always forget is that I haven't eaten in 1000 years. I sniffed some round things. They smelled so familiar! What were they? I took a mouthful of them. The moment they hit my tongue, it came to me. Blueberries! I used to love these things! And I still do! I hovered a thing that was like half of a sphere. What was it called? A bool? No. A bowl? Bowl! Yeah, that's it! So I hovered a bowl over to me and stacked as much blueberries as it would hold and gobbled them down right there in about 10 seconds. "Wow! You sure are hungry!" I turned to the filly who was addressing me. It was a little orange Pegasus with a pink mane. Right next to her was a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane. I saw these fillies at the Summer Sun Celebration.
"Yeah, really hungry," I answered her. I coughed a bit. I was more used to Nightmare Moon's voice. I talked to myself in the moon to keep myself sane. Also, the only time I really used my real voice was with Celestia in the ruin.
"Did you even have breakfast?" the little unicorn asked.
"Um.. no, I didn't."
"When was the last time you've even eaten?" the pegasus inquired
"A-A very long time!"
"You must be very hungry then!"
"Sweetie Belle?" I winced at the familiar voice.
"Oh, hi Rarity!" said the little unicorn.
"There you are!" the white unicorn trotted over, thankfully ignoring me.
"Luna? Oh, there you are Luna!" I looked over my shoulder and smiled when I saw Celestia. I galloped over to her and hugged her. It's been so long since I've saw her! Just so long! Okay, so it was just a little while. When you've been separated from your only friend in the world, you'd miss her in ten seconds. "Luna, it's time to go." And so we left, followed be a bunch of annoying goodbyes from the ponies back at the tiny village.
On the way back, I looked at a big castle in front of us." What's that?" I asked.
"That's Canterlot," was the answer.
When we got there, Celestia showed me our room. It was a pretty good size, with a tall ceiling, red and yellow walls, sun decorations, and -yea!- pictures of me and Celestia when we were fillies! Also some pictures of our family! There was Mother, a tall, white alicorn with fiery red hair. Her cutie mark is a flame. And Father, a black alicorn, who looks like he was made from the night sky. His cutie mark is stars that seem to blink like they really were stars. And Celestia, with her pink, cotton candy-like hair curled up like a princess. Well, I guess she is a princess! Then little me! I'm so cute! Celestia and I were both blank-flanks, at the time. Celestia got her's about a month afterwards.
I sat by the fire place and Celestia offered me some tea. While we sipped the steaming drink, I noticed an empty bird cage. 'Maybe she just likes the decoration,' I thought.
Celestia gave me a tour of the castle. She showed me the Star Swirl the Bearded wing(the most scrolls I have ever seen in my life), the dinning room(huge, can't wait for dinner), the place where my room will soon be(very big! I'm going to put some awesome things in there!), the gardens(why the heck did she put Discord there?), and everything else. It took a good 2 hours. Maybe more. Soon it was dinner time and we went to the huge dinning room. Celestia got a simple salad while I got the biggest buffet in Equestria. Well hey! When you get locked up for 1000 years, a bowl of blueberries won't fill you up. I ate it up in about 10 minutes.
Celestia sighed and got up after she was done. "Well," she said."I need to lower the sun," she looked at me. "Would you like to raise the moon?"
"Wait, you mean, like, now? Tonight? Now?" I said. I couldn't believe it! She was still going to let me raise the moon! Yes! We went to her bed chambers and to her balcony. It was a beautiful view. I could see Ponyville and the Everfree Forest and a field of apple trees. Celestia let the sun down and turned to me. "Do you still know how to do it?" she asked. I nodded automatically.
I concentrated on the moon and the moon only. I felt my magic go into it's center and I pushed up. I stumbled like it was on my back. I couldn't hear anything. I could only see the moon. I flash of blue sparked from my horn and I saw a little bit of white glow. Come on! I thought. Just a bit further! What felt like another 1000 years, I finally saw it. I let go of the moon and plopped down on my flank. Ow. Okay, apparently I sat on a rock. Ow.
"Well, there you go sis," I said. "I did it!"
She laughed. "Well, congrats then! Listen, I know you don't like sleeping at night, but how about you do it, just this once."
"Okay!" I said cheerfully. "As long as I stay in bed the next day."
"Sure, but you still have to lower the moon."
"Okay!"
I snuggled into the warm bed after we brushed our teeth and manes and fell asleep as soon my head touched the pillow.
And that was my first day back.
