//------------------------------// // Not a dream... // Story: Homesickness: Another Story // by arandomboi12 //------------------------------// “By the way, what is your name?” He asked Luna while helping her get up. “Luna…” She replied while Ness helped her up from the ground just to hear approaching hoofsteps. He then got in front of Luna and into a battle stance. He then saw another being almost the same from Luna. Only that she had white fur, blue pinkish and yellowish mane that seemed to be the same with the stars embedded in her hair. She had a set of wings and a horn just like Luna and had on a robe also. Ness sensed both strong magical energy from both of them. Even though not compared to his, they were nonetheless very powerful. She gazed upon Ness and gave him a patient calm smile. Ness lowered his guard for a little bit. “I am not here to hurt you… Ness was it? Thats a nice name.” she said calmly as Luna got up and tapped Ness’ shoulder. “This is my sister Ness. She does not mean harm.” she said as he lowered his guard and looked up at her. Now he knew they weren't human. But they had fingers and legs just like humans. But instead of feet, they had hooves. He then looked up at her crown on her head. Immediately, he looked at Luna. She had a crown too. He then bowed and looked up at the both of them. “I am so sorry about the mishap ladies! Just don't lock me up in a dark cellar. I don't know where i am honest!” he begged them. Luna looked confused and Celestia patted his head. He then looked up to see her smiled at him. “Now why would i do that to one of the chosen four?” he was shocked. How did she know about the chosen four? Come to think of it, how did any of them know about that legend? Unless… the word of Giygas being defeated spread like wildfire throughout universes and dimensions. That must be it! But then he started to feel his eyelids getting heavy. He didn't have any sleep. So he started to get drowsy. “I-i am g-going to…” and just like that, Ness fell asleep. Ness was then woke up by a tap on the shoulder he shudders at whoever touched him. It was like a mother’s soft touch. Gentle, caring, and now very strong… no… he was being shaken to death. He squirmed around in the softest thing he had ever laid upon. “Knock it off… its not a laser pointer… it's a gazebo…” he said while he was again, violently shaken to the point of half consciousness. “AHHH! MOM I HAD A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE! I WAS TELEPORTED TO A DIMENSION WITH TALKING PONI- oh it's real…” Ness said as he then turned his head to the mare that woke him up. It was Luna. And she was on the verge of laughter. Ness looked annoyed and tried to get up only for his legs to not respond. They were asleep. He then let out a struggled sigh and closed his eyes. Curious, Luna decided to touch Ness only to be startled by him floating in mid air. He then lowered himself to the ground but his feet don't touch the ground. “H-how in Equis did you do that? You don't have a horn to produce magic!” she said while Ness just looked at her with a confused stare. “I don't use magic silly! I use Psionics! Or Psychokinesis, whatever you want to call it! Not a lot of humans have this ability as for my info goes, humans, animals, aliens, and even inanimate objects—are able to use PSI, potentially as a result of Giygas's influence. Also, the Dalaamese seem to have discovered the ability to tap into PSI on their own." he explained to her and then felt life come back to his legs. His feet now touched the ground. He then looked at Luna. “Ma’am, why did you wake me up by the way?” he asked while rubbing his eyes. Luna looked at the boy. He was a human, but he looked very adorable. Even though he is one of the chosen four, she couldn't help but hug him tightly and pinch his cheek. Resulting in Ness beginning to blush. “L-lady! What was that f-for? You still haven't answered my question yet!” Ness said. She snapped out of it and let go of Ness. “Ahem. Me, my sister, and niece were about to have breakfast and were wondering if you would like to join us.” she said. Ness then patted his stomach. He hadn't eaten anything before he got there. So he was pretty much famished. He then gave her the biggest smile he could muster. “Sure what's the harm of it? Unless you poisoned it.” he said giving her a stare. But then he just chuckled while scratching the back of his head. Just then, he felt no weight on his shoulders. He looks just to see his bookbag gone. “Miss, where is my bookbag?” he asked Luna as she points to one of the nightstands just to see his bookbag in all of its brown glory. He puts it on his back and smiles at her again. “Alright lead the way!” he said while Luna smiled at him.
