Day-6-Wednesday
The next morning Locke was awoken by the sunlight streaming into the room. 

Uhh... To bright... Wait what? Why is the sun up? 

While Locke thought about it he felt something soft lying next to him. 

He turned over and saw Luna lying there. She had her wings wrapped around herself like a cocoon. 

He was surprised, but not unpleasantly so. He did what any rational, sensible boy would do in this position.

He thought about waking her up. 

Nah, she needs to sleep. I'll wake her up later. 

Locke got up carefully and crept downstairs to make breakfast.

He was surprised to see his mum in the living room; she was watching TV. 

"Good morning." She said. "Are you feeling better today?" 

Locke let out an slightly unconvincing fake cough. 

"Not really."

"Well, you better be well enough to to to the city this weekend." his mum said as she got into a more comfortable position.

"Yeah, I hope so too." Lock went into the kitchen and made a sandwich and a bowl of cereal.

He went back to his room and saw Luna still sleeping. He went to her side and gently shook her awake.

"Morning sleepyhead. Rise and shine." 

"I don't shine. My moon glows." Luna mumbled as she covered her head with her wings.

"Oh, I guess you don't want breakfast then?" Locke placed the sandwich on the table. He then turned on the TV and sat on the bed.

Luna shivered as she sat up. "It's cold." She wrapped her wings around herself and ducked back under the covers.

"Here." Locke turned on the heater. It took a minute to warm up the room.

"That's better. Thanks. I'm feeling a lot better today, by the way." She walked over the the bedside table and ate the sandwich in a few bites. She then sat down to watch TV.

Lock went to the wardrobe, grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom. After a few minutes his mum knocked on the door. Luna jumped and hid under the bed. "Locke! I'm going to work now! I'll be home by 5 o'clock!" Locke's mum yelled.

"Okay! Goodbye!" Locke yelled back. He finished his shower and went back into his room. 

"That was a close one." Luna exclaimed. "I thought she was going to come in." 

"Nah, she wouldn't come in if I was in the shower, in case I had the door open." Locke informed her. 

"If you say so. So what  are you going to do today?" She hopped on the bed and looked at the TV, which was playing some morning cartoons. 

"Well I was thinking about going to the library to search for anything about the "mysterious element"." He said as he tapped his chin thoughtfully. Should I talk to her about this morning? Nah, later.

No! Don't leave me! She desperately wanted him to stay but she instead said "Well... Can you make it quick today? Please?"

Aww, she looks so cute like that. How can I say no? "Okay I'll be quick."

As Locke was on his way to the library, Luna sat at home, alone. She decided to try to look around because while she had been here for almost a week she hadn't explored the whole house. She went into the hallway and towards one of the doors. 

Inside was another bathroom. At first Luna thought that it was the same as in Locke's room but then she realised that there was a bath. She felt herself get exited at the thought of having a nice, warm bath. They were her favourite way to get clean back in Equestria. I wonder if Locke would run me a bath when he gets back? I hope so.

Luna left the room and closed the door. Then she chose another door and went into the room.

Oh! This must be his mothers room. I should stay out of here. She closed the door. 

There was one last door. She had somewhat high hopes about this door. So hoping there was something interesting behind it, she opened the door.

It was just the boiler room. 

Luna huffed in annoyance. Then she turned and went back to Locke's room. 

She heard her stomach grumble. She was still hungry. 

Luna went downstairs and into the kitchen to make herself something to eat. This was when she saw a poster advertising a party. Why is that there? She wondered. Is Locke's mum planning a party? 
This could be bad.

Soon Locke was back.

As he walked in the door Luna came out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. As soon as she saw Locke she went back to smiling.

Hm, I wonder what's up with her? Locke thought.

"Hi Locke." She said in a somewhat quiet voice.

"Hi Luna. Look, I found something. The closest and most recent event happened two weeks ago, in the shopping centre. I remember that they had to shut down the whole place." Locke smiled, glad that they had gotten closer to the truth.

Luna smiled more brightly. "Okay. That's good." Then she went back to a more nervous state. 

"Umm... I was wondering if you could ehh give me a bath?" She asked at a whisper.

"Sorry, what was that?" Locke asked not hearing her properly.

"Couldyoupleasegivemeabath?" Luna asked quickly with her eyes closed, a slight blush gracing her cheeks.

Locke looked confused for a second then smiled and chuckled "Of course I'll give you a bath. All you had to do was ask. Do you want it hot or cold?"

"Hot please." Luna said, almost crying with happiness. This was one of the nicest things anyone have done for her.

"Okay, it'll be ready in about 10 minuets." Locke started to walk upstairs then stopped and turned around, "Almost forgot, do you want bubbles?" 

"Yes please." She looked so happy Locke couldn't help but smile as he went up the stairs.

Luna walked into the living room and began to lay down on the sofa. When she was comfortable she sighed. "This isn't helping. It's just make ping me love him more." She sighed again.

10 minuets later

"Luna! The bath is ready!" Locke called down. 

"Okay!" Luna slowly walked up the stairs.

When she was in the bathroom she saw the bath Locke had prepared her. It was incredible! The were tons of bubbles that smelled like strawberries and it was steaming hot. 

"I didn't know how hot you wanted it so I can put some more cold water in if you want." Locke smiled at her as he sat in the chair next to the bath. 

"Thank you!" Luna exclaimed as she hugged him. 

No! Stop! This isn't good. This will make it worse! Luna thought as she hugged him. She quickly pulled away causing Locke to look at her, confused.

She brought out a stool with her magic and climbed on it. She then dipped her hoof into the water to test it. Perfect. Luna slowly slipped into the bath.

She sighed in content and closed her eyes.This is nice. 

Luna jumped in surprise when she felt something slowly rubbing her back. She looked over her shoulder to see Locke massaging her back slowly. She blushed and looked away. Then she felt him go in between her wing joints which caused her to sigh again. 

Locke slowly worked his way up to her shoulders and neck. I had no idea that I could do this, he thought. 

Soon Luna had fallen asleep so Locke made sure that she wouldn't slip under the water and left the room. Okay, she should be fine for now, he thought as he sat at the computer and began doing some research.

When Luna woke up she immediately noticed that Locke was gone. The second thing she noticed was that the water was a bit cold and decided to get out. 

Once she was mostly dry she used her magic to pull out the plug and walked out of the bathroom. She saw Locke sitting at the computer. She walked past him and sat down on the sofa.

Locke turned to look at Luna, "Okay, I have to tell you something. I found a flyer for a party on the table. It says that it is going to be here, in this house." He looked quite worried.

"Yeah, I saw it earlier but I didn't want to say anything while you were giving me a bath." she said, hopping onto the floor once more.

"Uh, yeah... So, did you like it? The bath I mean." He said blushing.

"It was amazing. I've never been massaged by fingers before. My sister has though. The minotaur at the salon was scary." Luna shivered as she walked into the kitchen and used her magic to open one of the draws. She was going to do what she had never had to do herself before.

She was going to make a sandwich. 

Anyway, back to the party.

"So what are we going to do? I can't stay in my room the whole time. And you can't stay there on your own either, what if someone comes up?" Locke said.

"I could use the invisibility spell again. But then I wouldn't be able to use it to get to Emerald's house." Luna said, as she got out the bread.

Locke thought for a minute and suddenly came up with an idea. "So you see, it's not exactly a kids party. It's a party with alcohol that goes on until 5 in the morning. I usually go to a friends house but I'm allowed to stay home if I want. If you want to see the party yourself we can just wait until everyone is too drunk to recognise another human and take a look around."

"I don't know. It seems kind of dangerous. What if someone isn't that drunk? Or someone comes up early?" She worried as she sat on the sofa to eat her L.T (lettuce and tomato) sandwich.

"I'll scout out the party to see if anyone isn't drunk. If someone isn't I'll kick them out. And if someone comes up early then you can hide in the bathroom until I shoo them away. Ok?" Locke surprised himself with how fast he came up with good plans for each scenario.

"So when is the party anyway?" Luna said with her mouth half full of food. 

"The flyer said Friday, so we have two days to prepare." Locke said, who was starting to feel a bit more relaxed now that they had a plan.

Suddenly Luna started gasping and writhing and fell to the floor. Her coat flickered to black in some places and her wings, which were usually covered in soft looking feathers, started to become longer and sharp like blades. Locke quickly leaped to her side and tried to figure out what was happening to her.

Slowly she went started to look normal again, though it took a while for her to stop gasping. When Luna had calmed down Locke realised that she had fallen asleep. He carefully carried her up the stairs to his room. When he placed her on his bed he checked her temperature.

Odd. Locke thought, her temperature is normal.

He quickly ran downstairs and filled a cup of water. He placed it on the bedside table and, without thinking, kissed Luna on the forehead. What...? Why did I just do that? Locke could feel his face getting hot, Whoa, calm down Locke. Just go downstairs and forget what just happened. She doesn't need to know.

When Luna woke up she was hit with a headache like none other. When it started to recede she noticed some things about the room. She wasn't in the living room anymore; she was in Locke's room! How did I get here? She wondered, The last thing I remember is a spike of pain and then the laughter... that horrible laughter. She shivered under the covers. Luna saw the glass of water on the bedside table and drank it. It didn't do much to help her still pounding headache but it did help to wake her up a bit more.

After a few minutes of lying in bed Luna slowly climbed out and walked downstairs, looking for Locke. She as she passed the clock she saw that it was 4 o'clock. Luna found Locke on the computer researching mountains for some reason. 

"What are you doing?" She asked.

Locke jumped so hard that he fell off of his chair. "Who... Wha? Luna? Oh thank goodness you're okay!" He rushed over to her and wrapped her in a tight embrace. Then he pulled off her and held her at arms length. "You are okay, right?" He asked, worried.

"I don't know. What happened? All I remember is a flash of pain and then I blacked out." She said as she laid down on the floor, her muscles weren't strong enough to hold her up for long.

"You started gasping and fell to the floor. Then your coat started to turn black and your wings looked like they were sharp. Then you kind of just... went back to normal." Locke explained, trying to remember if there was anything he forgot.

"Oh no! NO NO NO! That sounds just like what happened to me before. When I turned into Nightmare Moon!" She started sobbing and wrapped her wings around herself.

"Nightmare Moon?" Locke questioned.

"That's why I was fighting my sister, Celestia." She sighed. "I might as well tell you now. My sister and I ruled the land of Equestria. She controlled the sun and I controlled the moon..."

Luna explained the events leading up to her crash landing in Lockes garden. Soon it was almost 5 o'clock and Locke's mum came back from work.

"Good afternoon Locke. Did you have a good day?" She asked as the placed her bags of the table.

"Not bad, apart from the cold." Locke lied as he coughed. 

"Yes, well I'm sure you've seen the poster. I'm having a party on Friday. As usual you can stay in you're room or mingle with the other guests." She looked him dead in the eye, as if she knew something.

"Yep. Got it. Thanks" Locke said as he quickly scrambled up the stairs. He didn't like that look in her eye.

"Oh by the way, what are we having for dinner?" He said as he poked his head back down the stairs.

"Chinese noodles. I bought some from one of the shops in town."

"Okay, thanks." Locke carried on upstairs.

He entered his room to find Luna asleep so he decided to let her rest and get her some food later.
