//------------------------------// // This Night // Story: Luna and I. // by ApplebloomOwnsCMC //------------------------------// Luna and I walk down the street in Canterlot. I could see the restaurant we were to eat at in the distance. Tonight the city wasn't as busy and buzzing as it usually was (I guess everypony was recovering from Nightmare Night). Most of the shops were closed. There was barely anypony around at all. A few ponies walking down the street (probably to or from work, someone has to work the night shift). Luna seemed pretty exited. She even dressed in something other than jeans and a t-shirt. She was wearing a purple sundress and a pair of what would have been Toms (I couldn't come up with a good equestrian version of Toms) her mane was sparkling brighter than ever flowing all the way down to her lower back. Me, I wore new clothes, a Pierce the Tail t-shirt (you see what I did there), a new pair of black pants, and a pair of shoes that rarity made for me. We arrive at the restaurant where the snooty douche bag waiter walked us to our seats, "Maaay I start you off with a drink tonight?" " I'll take a water" Luna says. " I'll take a sweet tea" "Coooming right up sir" the waiter says as he walks away. " So, how was the diplomatic stuff today?" I ask Luna "Same o'l same o'l. Just me my sister and a bunch of old griffins and ponies alike. How was your day?" "Well I helped out the apple family at their farm today. Ya'know it being apple buck season and all. My arms still hurt" I say as I massage my left shoulder. Luna suddenly hits my left shoulder with a balled up fist, and before I can say anything she just bursts with laughter. My pain subsides so I join in. "Uhmmm." The waiter clears his throat. He brought us our drinks. "Are you ready to order?" "I'll take a salad" Luna says "Aaand for you sir?" "I'll take a few green apples. Sliced if you please." "Coming right up." He walks away * * * Luna and I walk down the street after dinner her fingers entwined with mine. The city even more deserted than before. She suddenly starts to half sing half mumble "Princesses for a Day" by Pierce the Tail, so I join in and before long we were walking down the street laughing and joking. We pasted an alleyway while she was singing and I saw a figure behind a trash can. It looked like Celestia staring right at me. I do a double take and there is nothing there. wow that was weird. I just shake my head and start to sing along with Luna. We reach the castle after our walk and head straight to her room. We lay down and I fall asleep with her in my arms. I wake up to my alarm clock buzzing. I face palm "Just another dream" I get up and get dressed for my first day of sophomore year. Once I reach the school I walk through the crowded hallway to my first period and thats when I saw her. It was a light skinned girl wearing purple skinny jeans and a pair of vans with a Devil Wears Prada t-shirt. I'm so dumbstruck that I walk right into her. She drops her phone she was occupied with and looks up at me. "Oh, shit" I say embarrassed. I bend down and pick up her phone and give it back to her. As I hand her phone back to her she says with a puzzled look, "Do I know you?" "I don't think so, but you do look familiar" I reply using what confidence I have. She looks so much like her. "Whats your name?" I ask her. "Megan." She said as she nervously brushed her hair behind her ear.
