Everfree Vanishes
Ch.2 Hearing the news
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDreamweaver and Starswhipe ran through the castle like two teenagers full of sugar and ideas as they ran up the narrow stairs. They reached the upper stairs huffing and puffing from the abundance of stairsteps. The resident took in a small breath of air, opened his door and wing-propelled himself with a swandive onto his bed. He brushed up against his bed when he felt something strange. Out of sheer habit he refused himself to look at what exactly he was leaning against. Instead he closed his eyes and brushed his face along an extremely soft surface as he felt a feathery blanket whirl around him wich couldn’t have been any bigger than his own. He felt legs curve around him into a snug hug, It felt warm, cosey but most of all, it felt safe. He opened his eyes to see what had expired when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be laying on his bed cuddled up against his big sis Luna with his muzzel resting under her chin and a dark-bleu wing draped over his body. “Are you feeling comfortable laying on a bed with you’re favourite big sister?” Luna chuckled while her sibling’s blush became visible, the akward moment was only met with an embarrased nod from the enveloped alicorn. Then he noticed the rest of the rooms occupatiants, Starswhipe stood in the doorway with a face overruled by an expression of horror and confusement looking in the direction of the balcony. In the with magic forcefully opened balconydoors stood Celestia with a face of pure amusement from the sight of her brother and sister huddled up together. Something clicked in his head. “Luna, Celestia.. what are you both doing here?” Luna looked surprised at Celestia, confused by her pressence. Celestia made a suggestive expression and motioned Luna to begin her part of the story. Luna blushed, slightly annoyed at Celestia for even thinking about suggestioning that “that” could even be a plausible option. She looked back at weaver in her arms and shyley explained herself. “I-I knew you’d jump on you’re bed the second you would enter you’re room, because.. well.. this is the most comfy bed in all of Canterlot. And I thought it would be perfect for a prank.” Luna layed her head on Dreamweaver’s pillow making a wire above them move. a falling bucket of water fell from a shelve above them and was cought in mid-air by Celestia’s yellow magic. “But what about the cuddeling little sister, do you want to confess something to us?” Celestia gigled like a schoolfilly with a naughty smile painted on her figure. Luna blushed heavely but also showed a small sign of discust. “We’re family if you didn’t remember and besides, why do you cuddle with your Loyal Student?” Celestia’s laughing instantly fell silent, she frowned at the low-blow from her royal aquaintance. “It was only a joke..” Starswhipe facehoofed and decided it was best not to get involved in family issues, she closed the door and fell flat on the couch next to it. “just so you three know, I have to take care of some family busness so I can’t guard Weaver these couple of days.” Luna looked up from her place “around” dreamweaver. “But who will guard our fiercy little adventurer while we plan the wedding” Luna nuzzled Weaver’s cheek but was pushed away by a black hoof. “I’m not little, I’m the same height as you. With the wedding over a couple of days it will mean that I’ll be bored as buck.” Said the petronised colt. Celestia scoweld him for using that kind of language, but felt good to have a solution for the problem. “Dreamweaver what did I tell you about decency with your vocabulary, and besides.. you don’t need to go to the wedding, My reason for being here is that I know you heared the conversation with bleublood. I don’t have to explain it again do i?” Starswhipe jumped up from her lying position panicking. “You where serious about that? It’s not safe for him to run around all the way out there! I won’t allow it.” Both sisters looked at eachother before Celestia whispered something in Luna’s ear: “Looks like you have competition little sister.” Dreamweaver who was still cuddling with his Luna hissed at Celestia in a hushed tone. ”Will you stop it already.” Celestia spoke up. “okay okay.. anyhow afterwards Weaver will probably just go to that Pie-family farmhouse one of my subjects Pinkie Pie spoke off, staying there till after the wedding, do you approve of that miss star?”Celestia gave her brother a playfull wink. The ocupators of the room talked for some time when one saw the light. Starswhipe looked as if she just had the best idea ever. She turned to Luna who was still cluching the comfy colt in her hooves. “Princess Luna, could you go check on him.. at the day of the wedding?” A barely audiable moan came from the guardian of the moon. “I guess I could..” starswhipe’s face brightened as the sky light outside faded, her eyes nearly glowing bright green. “Well, I’m off to prepair for my family thing. Goodbye.” She ran with a quick dash towards the balcony, jumping off and spreading her wings. The moon crept above the horizon, they had talked for quite a while. Luna’s horn barely glowed at raising it. Dreamweaver looked celestia in the eye. “I’ll figure out what is happening in everfreeforest.” Celestia nodded. “I’m sure you will, I’m off to bed.” Luna released the young pony from her grip. “And my shift begins in half-an-hour.” Weaver looked as luna appropriately left through the door and Celestia just leapt from the balcony. Luna turned around stepping back in closing the balconydoors when she asked: “What exacly am I checking up on during the wedding?” The now at ease resident simply waved her goodby with a smile on his face. She got the hint as left the room. “Luna had been acting weard towards every colt and stallion she had met these past two days. “I have read a book that discribed Luna’s behavior.. I still don’t get it.” The dark shadow never lighted the candles even once since he had lived here, he liked the darkness for some reason. The now sleepy pony laid his head to rest on the pillow. “splash” he sighted as he threw the bucket formaly containing the water to the other side of the room. He levitated the water out of his pillow, blanket and cover and into a small sink next to the empty bucket and the bookshelves. His counsiousness started to slip away without a thing to worry about, he would get his big sis back for this, but not now.
