“Ok, we’re off to class. There’s food for you in the fridge, and you can use the X-Box if you want. If you do use it, keep the noise down. We don’t want anyone getting suspicious. I guess if you get really bored, you can get on the computer, log into Nick’s account and play some games. His password is taco.”
“Why my account? Why can’t she use yours?”
“Because I have too many important papers on mine. I’m not saying she will, but I don’t want her to do something that might wipe all my files.”
I sat there silently as Justin and Nick gave me my instructions. This was going to be the first time they were leaving me here alone, and I didn’t want to blow it. They trusted me enough to be alone here, and I would prove myself worthy.
“Fine, but don’t go into the folder that says ‘Stress relief’.”
I tilted my head in confusion. “Why shouldn’t we?”
“Because, there are things in that folder not meant for mortal eyes.”
“But I’m immortal.”
“Because there are things in that folder not meant for eyes not belonging to me.”
Justin nodded his head in agreement. “Believe me, I know. I looked inside of it once, and I wish I didn’t.”
“What is inside of it that could be considered bad?”
Justin shuddered. “Just remember this Luna: what has been seen cannot be unseen.”
“But what does that-“
“Cannot be unseen!” I jumped back from his interruption, but nodded my head all the same while stifling a laugh at the look on his face. ‘It reminds me of that internet face they showed me. What was it called? The “no” face? Or was it “No me Gusta?” Eh, I’ll think of it later.’
“Alright, we won’t go into it.”
“We? There are more of you?”
I groaned in aggravation. “I, I won’t go into it.”
“That’s better. I enjoy modern English much more than Shakespearian. Alright, we’ve wasted enough time. See you this evening.” And with that, they left. I looked around, thinking about what I wanted to do first.
‘Well, they said I could use the X-Box, and I do need to get better at Call of Duty. I can beat Nick now, but I need to be able to DESTROY him. That and I at least need to be able to kill Justin at least once. That human has gone 17 rounds strait without dying. I hate that smug look he always has on his face when he wins. Just ONCE I’d like to see him stare at the screen in disbelief as his character falls dead…that is a rather dark thought. Perhaps Call of Duty can wait.’ Luna walked over to the computer and selected Nick’s profile.
‘What did Justin say the password was? Burrito? Let’s try that…nope, not it. Taco! That’s what it was! I can’t believe I thought it was burrito…’ She logged on and immediately got onto Google to look up gaming websites.
‘They said I could play flash games, but I am not allowed to download anything without their permission. It’s amazing how good I have gotten with these devices in the two days I have been here…hold on, what’s this? It appears that Nick left something open when he got off last. Mayhap he didn’t have time to close it when Justin kicked him off…again. He spends way too much time on here. Now what did he leave open…it doesn’t appear to be from the folder I was told not to enter. Oh, it is a paper on our night sky! But it isn’t finished…I should finish it for him! After all, none knows more about the night sky than the one who controls it!'
--Nick’s PoV--
‘Where is that paper?!? I thought I put it into my bag before I left this morning…wait, I left it up on the computer! Man…did I even finish it? I think I did…what? Oh thank god. I can turn it in after class. I’ll just swing by the dorm, check on Luna, print my paper, and come back. I hope she didn’t touch it…
--Justin PoV--
I was sitting in my programming class when I felt a weird chill creep down my spine. I looked around the room for anything strange. I quickly dismissed the feeling and went back to my computer work. The feeling charged down my spine again and I stopped again.
‘Why do I get the feeling I’m gonna have a huge fight or something to sort out when I get home?’
--Luna PoV--
“And almost there…done! We finally finished Nick’s paper for him! And it is a great paper at that, we may add.” I smiled to myself as Nick’s paper printed out. Just as I had finished putting it into his binder, which he also forgot, he burst through the door.
“Nick? What are you do-“
“No time! Have you seen my paper? The one on star movements?”
I once again smiled to myself as I handed it to him. “Here you go. You left it on the computer, so we printed it out for you.”
Nick ran forward, ripping the binder from my hoof as he ran back out. “Thanks, Luna! You’re a lifesaver!”
I chuckled as he closed the door and walked back into the living area.
‘Maybe now I’ll practice some Call of Duty’
--Nick’s PoV--
Ten minutes later
“What do you mean no credit?!”
“You treated this paper like a joke. I’ve dealt with some BS reports in my time here, but yours was the worst. I mean, a magical pony is the reason the stars move?”
I looked at him with the most confused look I’ve ever had. “I didn’t write that!”
“Well that’s what’s here. How about a deal? I’ll let you retry it, if you actually decide to take it seriously.”
“Thanks professor. And don’t worry, I’m gonna have a talk with the person who messed with this.”
‘Somepony has a few things to explain when I get back…’
--Justin’s PoV--
As I opened the door to the dorm, I was greeted with screaming, crashing sounds, and flying pillows. I walked into the living area and saw that it had become a warzone. Nick sat in a fort composed of what used to be the couch. Luna had claimed the hallway and constructed a gate made of books. Throwing my bag down, I walked over to each fort and grabbed their respective owners by the ears. I fixed the couch and placed the two generals on opposite ends.
“Does either of you children want to explain to me what on God’s green Earth happened here?”
Nick decided to speak up first. “Luna messed up my paper.”
“Nick didn’t thank me for finishing it for him!”
‘Dear sweet baby Jesus, how did I get stuck with these two?’ Reading over the paper, I saw why Nick was upset.
“Dude, I see why you’re upset, but just rewrite the paper. And you should still thank Luna.”
“Why?”
“Because she actually finished it for you. She didn’t have to, but she did. And Luna, you just have to remember that things work differently here. Next time, look it up on Google.”
After they apologized, I heard a puff above me and a scroll hit my head. Luna gasped as I turned it over to reveal what Luna had told us was the royal seal of Princess Celestia.
