Ch.2 A New Home

The human eventually reached the end of the ruins, and finds a cute house. Luna can be seen walking out of the house. “Whew, that took longer than expected,” she said as she was about to call the human, but she was right there. “Oh my!” She walked up to the human. “How did you get here, my child? You’re not hurt are you? Don’t worry, I’ll heal you. It was irresponsible of me to surprise you like this.” She then covered her mouth as if she almost said something she wasn’t suppose to yet. “Come, I must show you something.” She then led the human inside the house. The human found another flashing star, and touched it. She was filled with determination. When inside, the human smelled something delicious. “Do you smell that?” Luna asked. “Surprise! It’s a butterscotch-cinnamon pie!”


“Butterscotch-cinnamon pie?” the human asked. “Why would you ask me which I liked better if you were gonna incorporate both? Not that I’m gonna turn it down.”


“I had a feeling that you would’ve changed your mind a lot when waiting for me. Come, I have another surprise for you.” Luna lead the human to a hall on the right. They then stood in front of a bedroom door. “See? It’s a room of your very own. I thought you should have somewhere to stay while you’re down here.” She stroked the human’s hair. “Oh my, is something burning? Make yourself comfortable, my child.” She then left to the kitchen, and the human walked into the bedroom.


The human yawned. “It’s been a long day,” she said, “I think I need some rest.” She then laid in bed, and took a nap.


When the human woke up, she found a slice of pie lying on a plate on the floor. “Oh, this must be the pie that Luna made,” she said. “Well, bottom’s up.” She took a bite out of the pie, and she smiled. “Wow, so delicious!” She finished the pie, and went to see Luna who was reading a book.


“Oh, up already?” Luna said.


“That pie you made was delicious!”


“Aw, thanks! So, I would love to show you my favorite bug hunting spot. I even made a curriculum for your education.”


“Wait, what?”


“This may come to a surprise to you, but I’ve always wanted to be a teacher like my sister, Celestia. Actually, that doesn’t really sound so surprising. Still, I’m so happy that I have someone here with me. I’ve been pretty lonely since I’ve divorced my husband.”


“Really?” Wow, I feel so bad for her now. The human thought.


“Oh, was there something you wanted to say to me?”


The human wanted to know how to exist the ruins, but she didn’t wanted to be rude. “Oh, it’s nothing.”


“Oh, OK. Would you like to hear about this book I’m reading? It’s called ‘75 Uses for Snails’”


“Sure.”


“OK, here’s a snail fact: Did you know that there’s a colt named after these creatures?”


“That’s pretty interesting.”


Luna started to sense some suspicion from the human. “Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” She got up from her chair, and went to the basement. The human followed her downstairs. “So, you wish to know how to leave the ruins, do you not?”


“Well, I didn’t want to be rude earlier.”


“Down here lays a door that’s an exist to the ruins. I’m gonna destroy it.”


“WHAT?!”


“That way, no one can get in or out.” Luna walked further in into the basement, the human kept followed her. Luna now had a more serious expression. “All who fall down here meet the same fate. They come, they leave, they die. If you continue onward, they, Sombra, will kill you. I’m only trying to protect you. Go to your room.” Luna walked even further into the basement, and the human continued following her. “Don’t try to stop me, this is your last chance.” She then made it to the door, however, the human didn’t listen to her. “You want to leave so badly, do you? You’re just like the others. Then prove yourself. Prove to me that you’re strong enough to survive out there!” The both of them then engaged in battle.


“Wait, what? I don’t want to fight you! You’ve been too nice to me!” Luna didn’t say a word, and made her first attack. The human kept sparing her, showing her that she doesn’t want to fight.


Eventually, Luna didn’t bother trying to hit the human. “What are you doing?” The human spared her again. “Stop it!” And again, “Fight me, or give up!” and again, and again. Then, Luna stopped attacking her. The human spared her again. “I know we don’t have much…” And again, “but you can have a nice life here,” and again, “We can be happy here,” and again. Luna said nothing, then the human spared her one last time. “No, you’re right. I can’t keep you trapped in here forever. You don’t really belong down here, I understand. My expectations, my loneliness, my fear… For you, my child, I’ll put them all aside. If you truly want to leave the ruins, I won’t stop you. Do me a favor when you do. Don’t come back. I hope you understand.” She then gave the human a hug, and left her.


“Goodbye, Luna.”


“Goodbye, my child.”


The human then continued onward. She walked down a long hallway, and when she got to the end, she found Flowey. “Ugh, not you again!”


“Clever, very clever,” Flowey said. “In this world, it’s kill, or be killed, but you played by your own rules. You spared every single creature in the ruins, you must feel so good for yourself. But, what if you ran into a relentless killer? You’ll die, and you’ll die, die, die, until you get tired of trying. What will you do then?” He then made his creepy face. “Will you kill out of frustration?” He then switched back to his normal face. “I’ll let you decide.” He then made a maniacal laugh before disappearing.


“Screw you,” the human said before leaving.
