A Friend of the Moon

A Friend of the Moon

All is well in the kingdom of Equestria, as the moon and stars shine lightly in the blanket of night cover, everypony is sleeping in contempt, having happy and peaceful dreams, creatures of types and sizes sleeping in their sleeping grounds, all is at rest. . . except for the Princess of the Night, Luna.

As Luna looks over Equestria in her tower, she wonders, how much of the kingdom she sees before her during her time of banishment as Nightmare Moon. She takes one final look at the land before and releases a sigh that you only let out when you feel you done something wrong, she walks back in from the patio and into her room that she had asked her elder sister to custom to her liking, dark blue carpet covering the room, a bed with covers that was also dark blue with small patterns of the gray moons and white sparkling stars all over the blanket.

The furniture was also appealing for her, as she asked for a dark wood table that had 4 dark blue cushions for any guest that comes in ‘As if anypony would come in here to visit me…’ as Luna thought to herself sadly. Luna walked to her night stand and opened the drawer and pulled out one of her favorite books ‘Star Swirl the bearded: The Secrets Of Ponykind’ which had a cover of the Star Swirl himself looking into the night sky. Before her banishment Luna loved reading this book and absorbed it despite reading it hundreds of times.

Luna placed the book at the drawer and turned around and walked to the mirror that was built into the wall. Luna just looked at the reflection of herself, gazing upon on what lies in front of her. She sees a pony that despite works to create a night sky every night, she feels unwanted by her fellow subjects. Despite what her elder sister has told her (many times in fact) she feels unwanted, Luna raised her head and said

“I will do my best to create a world of night for my fellow ponies, even if they do not acknowledge for who creates the night sky, I will be there for them- she pauses for a moment- but all I want is a friend to know how I feel.” She says in sorrow.

Luna galloped back to the patio that she had already been at, gazed upon the land of ponies

…

…

“Maybe I should get an owl.”

“I wonder if I can find some Oran berries before daytime.” As the dark fur Moon light pokemon asked itself.

As the pokemon Umbreon lazily walked through what the pokemon seemed to deem as ‘national park’ in ‘the johto region, as lights emulated from the street lights, Umbreon is looking around, trying to find berries for its meal of the night. As Umbreon passes the section of a large section of grass, he can see most of what contains in its green cover, bug pokemon. Bug pokemon of different types and forms, varying different sizes. Umbreon feels somewhat lonely as he sees pokemon with their passing by as he hides in the darkness. Umbreon ignores his feelings though as he was able to evolve from his previous Eevee form, into a creature of the night, he is thankful to have the night to give him what he felt like a comforting blanket shrouded in stars as a cover for him to live peacefully. Umbreon decided to look elsewhere as he cannot, once again find any berries in this area, right about he was about to leave, he spots what he knew was a Oran tree. Umbreon walked up to the tree and scanned the tree if it still bears berries to be plucked.

Thankfully the berries are still attached to the tree and seem to be plumped as much as they can possibly be! Umbreon hungrily gazed at the berries and thought to himself

‘A simple Tackle attack should bring those suckers down.’

And he did just that.

What he didn’t know that there was also a hungry pokemon in the tree eating the berries, a hungry Murkrow.

“What the heck!” screeched the Dark type bird pokemon as it flew out of the tree.

“Wha?” responded back by a stunned Umbreon

“What were you doing tackling trees all of the sudden?!” yelled a slowly agitated Murkrow

“Oh, sorry about that, I was looking for some food and I noticed the berries, if you don’t mind, my stomach is calling for those berries.” As Umbreon was saying this, his gaze fell on the what seem to be sparkling Oran berries scattered all over the pavement.

“Theses are my berries! I found them, so I get to eat them!” yelled by the bird pokemon

Getting tired of his selfishness, Umbreon just decided to snatch one and bolt it.

‘I should keep him busy with a Confuse Ray and get out of here before he recovers.’

Umbreon quickly went into a battle stance and started to use the Confuse Ray, as his eyes glowed a light yellow, a ball of energy twirled itself to the Murkrow that was too busy eating some of the fallen berries.

Right when the Confuse Ray hit the Murkrow, the pokemon shrieked in surprise as it is now seeing doubles of the half eaten Oran berry.

As the Murkrow is being kept busy with being confused, Umbreon quickly snatched a berry that rolled away from the rest of the berries and ran into the bushes to snack on the rightfully earned berry.

As Umbreon snacked on the berry behind a bush, he heard some rustling in the grassy areas a few feet ahead of him. Curious, he silently stepped into the bush to see a human boy with a gold and black hat, red shirt, and black shorts walking around with a Quilava tagging along behind the boy.

‘What are they doing here?’ pondered the night pokemon.

As Umbreon asked this question to himself, he heard the boy speaks to his friend.

“Let’s train a bit more before we head to the third gym leader, okay Quilava?”

“Quilavvaa!” responded the fire pokemon

Huh, why is he having so much fun with that human? Asked Umbreon

‘is it that much fun to have friends? Never learned that since I was always by myself…’

As Umbreon said this to himself, he walked back to his Oran berry and just stared at it. His ears folded down and thought to himself.

‘. . . I wish I had a friend. . .’

-As the sun is raised in Canterlot, two sisters meet together at the main dining hall to have breakfast/dinner-

"Ah, good morning Luna, how was the Moon court last night?" Asked Lunas older sister, Celestia.

"Uneventful...as always..." muttered Luna

Celestia realized must be feeling that Luna is still feeling down about uneventful things happening during the night.

The waiter arrives to ask the two Princesses for what they wish to have for their meal for the day.

"I wish to have haycakes, small salad,small bowl of yogurt, and a small glass of orange juice please." answered Celestia

"Hmmm... we wish to have a meal of stir-fried vegetable noodle which consists of having mushrooms, diced carrots, broccoli, green and red peppers, and the brand of Moon-beam noodles please."

The waiter then bowed and responded "I shall be back with your meals Princesses." and trotted off to fill the order.

Wanting to make sure theres no awkward silence, Celestia quickly said "Is the Moon-beam noodles any good Luna?"

Luna perked up from her sisters question, as she always wanted to share the noodles with her sister but never got the chance to tell her, as she is always busy with one thing or another and had to cancel meals together.

"Oh yes! They are really flavored from soaking in from being cooked. The flavors from the vegetables give it a more of buck to them when you first bite into it."

Celestia pondered with what Luna said, as she haven't had anything that is stir-fried since 40 years ago, learning that she was a little overweight.

"Well, once I finish my diet after the next meal, I must try it Luna."

"Sister, are you still going on with what I said 'Chunky-Celly'?"

"I am not chunky! Just a little overweight..."

As their food have arrived, the sisters continued talking and enjoyed their meals. Celestia needed to deal with poltical issue of Manehattan, with their current problem with parasprites.

As Luna trotted back to her room she heard two mare-maids gossiping to each other.

"Did you hear that Swift Spell was able to get a stallion from a teleportation spell?"

"How did that happen?"

"Well, from what she said, she said 'While wishing for a stallion like myself, I activated the spell and there he was! At first he was upset but after that we got together!'

"I wish I was a unicorn!" pouted the cream fur mare.

"I know how you feel. Plus she found it at Canterlot Archives no less!"

As Luna trotted pass the two mare-maids, the mare-maids went straight back to work, fearing that might get fired for slacking in front of a noble.

'Hmmm...Maybe I should head to the Archives and find a pony that has the same feelings for the night as I do.

And at that thought Luna teleported leaving but a smile for happiness.

Canterlot Archives

The Canterlot Archives is one of the oldest places to obtain any type of literature to read or to study. The oldest one before was the at The Celestial Sisters Castle of Equestria, which has now been claimed by the foe of time.

There are only a few ponies that would sacrifice their lives to protect the books and scrolls, knowing that its not just that but a piece of history that wish to keep for the future generation to start. One of those few ponies is Elder Flaming Quill, who has a cutie-mark of a quill writing so fast, the quill is writing flames. Most ponies only known him as Elder, since he has been protecting the Archives for 70 years. Only the Princesses know of his true name.

As Luna teleported in, Quill placed his book that he was reading and trotted towards the entrance of the Archives.

"Ah, Princess Luna, how nice to see you here again. Would you like this weeks newest copy of 'Daring Do'?"

"Not today Flaming Quill. I am in need of a list of all books that were checked out about teleportation from this past month."

"Oh? Doing a study about teleportation I see? Of course Princess Luna, I will be right back." Quill then bowed and trotted to acquire the needed list.

Moments later Flaming Quill trotted back with the list in his satchel for Princess Luna. He opened the satchel and hoofed the list to Luna. Luna then enveloped the list with her dark blue magic and placed it into her own satchel.

"Thank you Flaming Quill, I shall request for your services if they would be needed."

"Of course Princess." He then bowed and trotted back to his unfinished book.

Luna then teleported back to her tower and trotted back to her room. As turned the corner to her room, she greeted her Lunar guards and went to her room. Luna placed her satchel on her desk, opened the cover, and pulled out the list out and opened the list.

Luna stopped at the list title, as she knew that must be the title. She started to start a plan to summon her soon-to-be friend.

'Tomorrow evening shall be when I summon my new friend and talk all about the new world.' thought Luna.
