Luna Plays...

by Chaotic Note


Chapter 10 - Slendermane (ft. Chaotic Noteworthy, Texas Red, and Alisa)

“Remind me again, Chaotic. Why are we here?” Texas Red whispered, hoping Luna wasn’t listening onto them.

“Because she invited us to a sleepover,” Chaotic quietly responded, a look of glee was clear on his face.

“Well I’m all up for tending to Luna’s needs,” Red mumbled, blowing away the chocolate-brown bangs of his unkempt mane from his eyes. “but… shouldn’t this be kept to mares only?”

“Lighten up, Red. At least we’re getting in touch with our feminine side.”

“You mean you’re getting in touch with it.”

“Same difference.”

Being an Alicorn had many perks, including heightened senses. Senses like super smell could help detect odors police dogs would have overlooked. Super sight could help see things even farther than an eagle could. In Luna’s case, she preferred to use super hearing. Her companions’ attempts to be quiet were being successful as they would probably be unheard by a normal pony, but nothing can truly escape her bat-like senses. Their hushed conversation was no exception.

Although in retrospect, Luna probably should had guessed that Red wouldn’t like to be a part of a sleepover where he gets to have his hooves finely done. Red was the type of strong stallion that lived on masculine morals, making sure to never appear weak or silly in front of a mare with stuff like makeup. However, the green pegasus did seem to enjoy helping her with her ever-flowing mane, getting the chance to feel its ethereal texture while he brushed it.

Luna is no Cadence, but the Night Mare could tell her guard was completely enamored by her. His affection for her was very subtle, but behind every musical piece he usually played for her, behind every moon pie he ever baked for, she could tell that there was a great work of love, sweat, and tears. From the first day the both met, Luna could feel his admiration for her grow stronger and fiercer. His devotion for her was easily comparable to a seemingly calm orchestra patiently waiting for the right moment to sound out their big finale, to explode their music in a fantastic ending. Red was waiting for the perfect moment to reveal his hidden love for her, even though she could clearly see it was there.

His cutie mark literally signified his love for her. It was a full moon with flames emblazoned in the center, with a black moon flower inside the flame that wasn’t being destroyed by the fire. The moon obviously symbolized Luna, while the flames and flower represented his passion. It was a very awe inspiring cutie mark, and had gotten more than few ponies asking him what it meant.

As for Chaotic, his love for Luna was about as eager as a bunny for carrots when he wanted to show his love. He would go ask to come with him to fantastic places around Canterlot as friends, but she could tell that he was really asking her out of a date. Pretty much a forward pony and she had to admit that he could get a bit cute when he gets a little childish. Although, there were times when she thought too much childish was too much. But in a way it was rather endearing, and he had made her laugh more times she could remember in her life. He was somepony that she would like to be around with for a very long time.

The absolutely romantic pegasus and the bright, fun-loving unicorn. Those two would have made a great combo together if they both decided to attack me straight on, Luna confessed to herself as she compared the both of them. It would be nice to start a herd… but I’m still not sure if these two are the ones I’m looking for. Luna heavily sighed with contempt, angry at how indecisive she could be sometimes.

Even after a thousand years, stallions still remained the elusive, mysterious creatures they were. No mare could really understand how they work, and why they found them so extravagating. It was bad enough that Celestia has filled the entire castle with stallions for guards, but Luna also had these two as her personal guards, thus having to see them every day. If they weren’t within her sight, they were most likely hiding in the background, warily watching for anypony that may be a threat to her. As one of the best warriors in her Night Guards, they had the honored privilege to be among the ranks of her Inner Circle of Lunar Knights.

“Red, that’s daffodil-yellow. I asked for starry-gold,” Chaotic nitpicked, upset that the pegasus chose the wrong color of hoof polish.

“Well sorry Chaotic, but I can’t tell the difference between different yellow colors that look the same. I apologize for my ignorance compared to your oh so vast knowledge on colors.”

Chaotic grimaced a bit. “Well yesh, Red. You didn’t have to be like that.”

Red just glared at Chaotic as if he was trying to making lasers come out of his red eyes. Chaotic gave a light, nervous chuckle, a bit discouraged by the pegasus’s angry gaze. Luna slightly shook her head as she felt the intensity in the room increase. This was going to get out of hoof soon if she does do something quick. Red was kind most of the time, but he could get really scary and furious when things don’t his way. Usually, his blazing persona was triggered whenever her felt Luna was being threatened or insulted by any means, but his rage isn’t just limited to that. There are a few other ways that might cause him to go on a rampage.

“Red, did you remember to heat up the mane curlers?” Chaotic asked passively.

“No Chaotic, I didn’t forget,” Red grumbled, fighting the urge to let it grow into a growl.

Yep, this was feeling like one of those moments again. Luna’s mind raced against the situation as it searched for a viable solution to water down the problem. A lot of them came up, claiming to be the answer to the rising dilemma, but most of the scenarios that were played out in her head ended up only either increasing the pressure or being totally ineffective. The idea of playing Truth or Dare would only cause Red and Chaotic to eventually start shouting Truths and Dares at each other, and the makeup session was obviously not working right now. The Pillow Fight option would cultivate into a Pillow War sooner or later, and cooking smores in the fireplace will… well one could imagine what an angry pony could do with a hot, melting marshmallow treat. Most of the ideas in her head were tossed out the window without a second thought, which only left a few ideas left.

Might as well start with a horror story session, Luna thought dismissively. She held her hoof up for a pause, causing both stallions to stop with their silent bickering. They both looked at her with curiosity, waiting for whatever their beloved mistress of the night has to say. “I think I’m perfectly fine with what I have at the moment. While I do enjoying having my hooves cared for by others, I do want to get on with the sleepover. Do you two agree?” The two stallions looked at each other (with more or less angry eyes) before nodding towards Luna. “Excellent. I know the perfect way to continue our overnight fun,” Luna smiled, relieved to know that things were going according to plan.

“And what would that be?” Red asked.

“Ghost stories!” Luna let out a cute squee.

“Ghost… stories?” Red sounded as if he never heard of ghost stories, but he was only just wondering what made his mistress decide on that. “Well if you insist ma’am, but I’m not exactly the best when it comes to—”

“Ghost stories? I love ghost stories!” Chaotic yelled. “Oh this is going to be so much fun! Hold on, I’ll go get the candles! Be right back!” The thrilled stallion dashed out the room to go scour the castle for the waxy fire holders. Red looked after him with a scowl etched on his face.

To Luna, this was the perfect moment for her to set things right. Compassionately, Luna rested her hoof on the pegasus’s shoulder. He turned towards her with a look of surprise, speculating what else she had to say.

“Red… I know Chaotic can be hard to handle sometimes, but he can be a real sweetheart if get to know him.”

“You knew?” Red looked at the floor as if it caught his attention, but Luna could see a bit of shame in his eyes. “Well Luna… I don’t know if I can get along with him. He’s always irritating me.”

“I know that, but you two only knew each other for just a few days.” Luna nudged him a bit with her nose. “Come on, Red. Give him a chance and try to understand him. Who knows, maybe you two might end up being the best friends.”

“Well… I guess he’s okay sometimes. When he isn’t asking me about every little thing like hoof polish,” Red griped, still not really looking forward to friendly to the energetic unicorn.

“Oh admit it, Red. You know you’re into mare stuff,” Luna playfully teased.

Red frowned for a moment, and then started to giggle up a storm when Luna started tickling him. “C- come on Luna! Be reasonable! I’m supposed to be — Haha! — a serious guard!”

“Tickle, tickle, tickle!” Luna laughed.

“So you guys are having fun without me?”

The two stopped to a standstill when a familiar stallion entered the room.

“I swear you two start the real party after I leave,” Chaotic smirked.

“Well… not really?” Luna had a sheepish smile, embarrassed to be caught like this.

He chuckled a bit. “It’s fine. I’m glad you two are getting closer. Anyway, I was looking around my room when I found my flash drive.” Chaotic dug around his flank pocket (Luna didn’t really question how ponies could have hidden pockets where their cutie marks were at), and brought out a small, thin storage unit for data. “I was just thinking that maybe we could play Slender in place of telling horror stories.”

“You don’t want to tell horror stories?” Luna asked.

“Well I still want too, but maybe we could do that after this? Truthfully, I’ve been waiting for a night like this to show you this game. Have you played it before?”

“I’m afraid I haven’t. What’s it about?”

“Oh it’s a fairly simple game.” Chaotic inserted the flash drive into Luna’s personal computer and turn it on. “All you have to do is go around a forest and collect eight pages. Once you collect them all, you win.”

“Well that doesn’t really sound like fun,” Luna commented.

“Trust me, Luna. This game is anything but boring,” Chaotic confidently claimed.


“Chaotic, what are you doing? Luna is about to start.” While Luna was setting up the game on the computer, Chaotic had pulled Red aside for a bit.

Honestly, the pegasus has no idea what the brash unicorn’s motives are all the time. Usually it would be as something totally innocent like free ice cream, or to undermine a secret coup among the nobles. When Luna said he should try to understand Chaotic, it was pretty much just literally easier said than done. Understand a stallion whose name literally means Chaos? Pretty sketchy if you asked Red about that.

“Well Red, I have an idea. It’s a devious idea.” Chaotic innocently smiled.

Red’s scowl grew even deeper. “What do you have in mind?”

“Well, I was thinking that we should tease Luna while she’s playing the—”

Insult her? Why the buck would I want to do that?!” he harshly whispered, interrupting Chaotic. “Look I don’t know what the buck you’re trying to pull but if you so as much hurt Luna’s feelings—” He couldn’t finish the sentence however as he found Chaotic’s hoof over his mouth.

“Dude, hear me out for a moment. I didn’t mean to insult Luna. I meant that we should tease her little things. You know like tap her shoulder when she isn’t looking, point at things at the screen while pretending something is there.”

Red’s eyes narrowed even further. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”

“Yes and no. Slender is a first person horror game where you have to survive long enough to collect all eight pages.” Suddenly blushing deep red, Chaotic nervously started fiddling with his fore hooves together as if he was having second thoughts. “I was thinking that we can use the opportunity get closer with Luna. You know, because the scare factors might cause her to depend on us for comfort.”

“And you really think that… wait did you say we?”

“Y- yes? Don’t you like Luna too?”

Red’s eyes widened at this. He didn’t think Chaotic was the most sharp of all stallions. In fact, Red had met his fair share of stallions that were not so bright in the head. They were mostly down at the pubs he went to when he went out drinking with his fellow guards, all dazed in their drunken state. The pegasus wasn’t really all for drinking, he was just there as the responsible guy to make sure all of his teammates got home safely. Alcohol could put you in quite the dozy mood, and sometimes it would make you do stupid things like pick a fight with the Royal Guards.

However, Chaotic was keen enough to realize Red had feelings for Luna as well! He thought he hid it well enough, unlike the unicorn across him. It looked like he was just proven wrong tonight in not just one case, but two as well. Red had also thought Chaotic wasn’t really the sharing type when it came to having a special somepony, but here he was asking him if he wanted to partake in the bonding exercise that the unicorn had in mind. It was thoughtful, it was generous, and it was brilliant to Red.

“You know what? I think I’m starting to like you,” Red smirked.

Chaotic just simply returned the grin. “Let’s see if Luna’s done installing.”


“So this is the game?” Luna asked, looking at the dark, blank screen on the computer while sitting comfortably from her seat. She stared at the title of the game before pressing on the start button. She couldn’t really remember why, but the name, Slender, tipped a bell in her memory, but it was a weak ring.

While there were no visuals just yet, the Night Princess could hear somepony in the computer breathing heavily, the being’s voice sounding feminine as she climbed over what seemed to be fences. Suddenly, the screen was lit up brightly from what was implied to be a flashlight, revealing the forest in front of her. The forest was incredibly dense, and very daunting in a hazardous way. Luckily, Luna was placed on a path wide enough so that she didn’t feel claustrophobic in the trees. When she walked around the dim area, she could hear the leaves crunching underneath her like crispy haychips. Her character’s steps sounded like hooves as a faint clop could be heard every time she moved, so Luna assumed she was playing as a mare since stallions let out much bigger sounding steps.

“Yes. All you need to do is to walk around and collect the eight pages scattered around in the forest,” Chaotic confirmed, flashing a light grin at her. He and Red were looking over her shoulder, with the pegasus being in the only other seat in the room. “They’re around some landmarks around here, so it’ll be easy to find them.”

Luna, already suspicious of the game, hummed with doubt at the game’s apparent simplicity. The time setting in the game was night time, the trees were looking a bit more than grim, and her character was seemingly only equipped with a flashlight. The only company she had in the game was the little crickets that were chirping in the background. The growing feeling inside of her was convincing her even more that there was more than meets the eye in this game. All the signs that were screaming in her face were shouting out the now obvious fact that this was a horror game.

Now that I think about it, Chaotic did want me to play this instead of telling horror stories. I can see why he left out the nature of this game, Luna allowed herself a tiny laugh. Very well, I shall humor him then. Let’s just hope he doesn’t chicken out while watching me play. Luna entertained herself with at the thought of Chaotic screaming at whatever horror awaited for them in the game.

She knew he had a light heart when it came to scary games, even though he had made himself to be a hardcore gamer sometimes, but in reality he’s just a lovable softie. Red was more likely to just be surprised once whatever mysterious entity in the game pops out, but he’ll then learn to keep himself calm afterwards.

Suddenly, Luna found herself being pressed up by the pair of stallions on either side of her. They weren’t being forceful, but they were more like leaning on her actually. It was actually quite comforting to her. At least she had two of her friends (who thought of Luna more than friends) beside her in the middle of the night while playing what might possibly be a really scary game. Already, the darkness surrounding her was getting to her, but Chaotic and Red had lightened up the experience, giving her reason to be in her comfort zone.

Soon after fumbling around in the darkness, she found a broken down wagon in the middle of the dirt road. Looking around the side of it, she could see a note taped its wooden planks. There was a scribbled message upon it, as if a foal had hastily wrote on it as if it was a homework assignment the little student had forgot to do at the last moment.

“Don’t look… or it takes you,” Luna read out loud. “Well that doesn’t sound good,” she mumbled. She could feel her left arm being hugged tightly. She peered to the left corner of her eye to see a very worried Chaotic with his closed mouth quivering. Aww. Look at him, Luna cooed inside her mind. He’s like a little colt now.

She clicked on the page with the words of warning, storing the sheet inside whatever inventory her character had. Luna jumped a bit in her seat out of shock as the atmosphere in the game took a sudden turn around the corner from slight caution to full out mind-numbing tension. The music sounded like drums filled with thunder and was seemingly consistent, as if something right now was starting to stalk her. She could imagine the leaves in the trees being rustled from the impending doom that was lurking around in the woods. Luna could feel her heart in her throat wanting to jump out to escape whatever horror was waiting for her. Her forehead beaded with cold sweat.

“It feels like somepony… ” – Luna quickly spun her character around. – “wants to sell me something!

There was nothing there except for the dark, widespread scenery of the trees. Luna let out a nervous giggle as Red gave her a look that was asking her ‘What was that all about?’, raising one of his eyebrows. Meanwhile, Chaotic was being a blender right now as he was shivering violently out of fear from the sudden outburst Luna had.
“Luna! Don’t scare me like that,” he whimpered.

“Sorry Chaotic,” Luna apologized, attempting to calm the poor stallion down by stroke his mane. Stroke after stroke, Chaotic slowly broke out of his distress and calmed down. “I didn’t mean to startle you like that.” At this point, Luna was trying not to let out a snicker.

At times like this, when Chaotic was being the little softie that he was, Luna felt like he was the little brother she never had. Of course, this ‘little brother’ had a really warm attachment to her, so she couldn’t really bring herself to think like that. On her other side, she could feel Red giving off huge waves of jealousy. He must have felt left out on the attention Luna was giving to Chaotic.

Smiling, she turned around and asked Red, “Do want a hug too?”

Red snapped out of his jealousy state. “W- what?” Red bit his lips a little, his nerves feeling more or less hesitant. “Um… sure. I would love to have a hug from you.” He leaned towards her and wrapped his hooves around her.

After sharing a few moments or two in the little group hug, Luna lightly brushed them off so that she could focus on the game. “Okay, let’s win this,” Luna said with absolute confidence.


“I’m really starting to regret playing this game!” Luna harshly whispered.

Right now, she currently had seven pages in her hooves right now, and was currently running away from whatever was chasing her. So far, the monster’s identity was still a mystery to her, but she could tell it was tall, white, black, and very fast. Everything she looked behind her, all she saw was a white flash in the distance, getting closer and closer with each second. She didn’t look back for very long as her screen would turn into static, so her primary focus now was on staying alive, but even then she could still feel whatever appendages the monster had was hovering over her shoulders. In a metaphorically sense of course, but that didn’t stop Luna from being confused and a tiny bit afraid of whatever was out to kill her in the game.

“Luna, over there! That’s the last page,” Red shouted, jabbing his hoof to where a tall tree was on the screen.

Luna immediately veered her mouse to the left to where the tree was, and in turn caused her character to face towards it. She then pressed down on the W key with her magic, and smashed Shift to go on a full burst of speed. Her character went from a slow trot to a fast run, heading straight for the tree.

Twenty meters…

The game scared her a bit, but she was the princess of the night! After seeing the last page that she needed, she knew that the prize was just within her grasp: a full victory over the game. All she needed to do was to cover a few more meters and press the sweet mouse button to grab it, and hopefully win the game then.

Fifteen meters…

Oh I just hope this game doesn’t have a twist, Luna prayed. She had played enough games to know that the objectives would sometimes change into something completely different. She hated it when that happens.

Ten meters…

“Almost there!” Chaotic squeaked. He never been this far in the game, so now he was practically covering his eyes at this point to shield them from whatever horrible thing was going to pop out from the screen.

Five meters…

“A-a-and… got it!” Luna victoriously swiped the page from the tree, finishing the game on her first ever try.

She turned around to see if the monster was still after her, but there was not a sign of it anywhere. She turned around again, but the monster wasn’t there either. Slowly, she started to realize that there was something wrong. That creepy feeling was crawling up her back again.

“Guys… is it just me, or did the music stop playing?” Chaotic asked quietly.

Without warning, a loud boom came from the computer and Luna’s character turned around on her own. Luna, shocked at the sudden turn of events, tried to move the mouse, but found the game to be completely out of her control. Luna’s eyes then widened in surprise from what she saw on the screen. It was a pony as tall as Celestia herself, white and in a black, sharp business suit. A blood-red tie wrapped around the collar of its shirt. However, the most unforgettable feature of the monster was the full lack of features on its face. Its face was just a pure white void itself.

Luna couldn’t hear anything else other than the surprised screams coming from the two ponies beside her, and her own mind. While her ears were being abused from the stallions’ terrified yells, Luna’s mind was just swirling in thoughts of their own. What was she to feel at this point; fear or nostalgia? The screen then flickered into static surrender, and then everything went dark.


“And so that’s when Luna kicked us out of her room,” Chaotic summed up.

“Really? Why did she do that?” Alisa asked. She was a snow-white unicorn mare with an adorable, pink, fluffy, silky mane and tail that reminded Chaotic of Luna’s previous style, and the most brilliant sea-blue eyes anypony had ever saw.

“I don’t know. She had a weird look in her eyes, and she didn’t want to talk about it. All I know was that after me and Red stopped screaming… well you know the rest.” Chaotic drew tiny circles in the carpet rug beneath him with the tip of his hoof, embarrassed that he had to retell this story to somepony else.

However, Alisa was a special case. She was just the type of mare that would listen to a stallion, unlike most other mares out in Equestria. Most of them would just brush his voice off and would rather like to talk about themselves. He shuddered to think on how the mares here fit the stereotype of how stallions would act back home in Magistrum. It seemed like the gender roles here were somehow reversed. Almost like an Amarzonian nation. The more naughtier mares of Manehatten, for example, liked to poke fun at stallions with blunt compliments like 'hot flank' or 'I'd tapped that.' Of course, he slightly expected that from a country where females make up the majority of its population, but it was a just an amusing thought in the beginning.

But Alisa was not like those Manehatten mares from the dark alleys. She was sweet and kind.

“Well it’s getting late, and I need to catch some sleep.” Alisa walked past Chaotic, flashing him a shy smile. “I’ll see you around.”

“Um… yeah. Good night.” Chaotic returned the smile with his.

The stallion trotted through the hallways, making his way to his bedroom. It didn’t take long to find it as it was just around a few corners. Once he was inside, he crashed his body onto the bed and allowed the covers to hug him to sleep. It was a long night, and Chaotic was feeling quite tired from tonight’s events.


“Hello?” Chaotic nervously called out. “Is anypony here?”

He was quite in a sour pickle now. He didn’t know how he got in the dark forest that was surrounding him, but he knew that dark, spooky trees were nothing to laugh at; no matter how many times Pinkie said it was okay to giggle at the ghosties. Terrified out of his mind, he broke into a run in an attempt to escape from the place, but it didn’t take long for him to crash into something. He fell hard on the ground, wincing in pain as he closed his eyes from it.

OW, watch where you’re going!”

Wait a second. I know that voice, Chaotic thought. “Red, is that you?”

Chaotic quickly opened his eyes to see the familiar pegasus before him, whom looking at him with a surprised expression as well.

“Chaotic? What are you doing here?”

“I- I don’t know! For one moment I was in bed sleeping, and the next thing I know was that I found myself here.”

“Wait… so is this a dream?” Red pinched himself a bit to make sure he was asleep. He winced a little bit, but Red showed no signs of any other change. “I don’t get it. I’m not waking up. Do you think… we’re trapped here?”

“No… we can’t be trapped in here! I don’t wanna be here!” Chaotic quickly pinched himself in a desperate attempt to escape the grim forest, but all it resulted in was pain. “Ow… okay so maybe that wasn’t the best idea.”

“So what are we supposed to do now? We can’t just –” Red cut off what he was just said as he looked past Chaotic. The pupils of his eyes shrunk dangerously, and his breathing quickly shortened into panicky bursts.

“W- what is it, Red?” Chaotic asked, scared to find out what was apparently behind him.

“… Don’t turn around, Chaotic. When I say run… run.”

Chaotic, his fear turning his mind into mush, made a move to peer at what was behind him. “W- why? What’s behind m– OH MY LUNA!” The unicorn quickly scrambled away from the menacing monster that was before him, desperate to get as much distance as he can from the horrid thing. “Y- you’re not supposed to be here! You’re not real!”

The infamous tall, white being in the dark suit that was in front of him was Slendermane. Chaotic was never one to believe in Creepystraw myths, but it never did stop from implanting these fears into his mind. And here was the most intimidating of them all, speaking only silence to the pair as he slowly edged towards them in small steps. Dark tentacles then slowly rose out from underneath Slendermane’s coat, slithering towards the two, fearful stallions. Things were not looking good for them.

“Dude, I think he’s real enough.” Red grabbed Chaotic by the barrel and carried him over his back. “We should get out of here.” He made to turn around, only to be met with Slendermane’s pale, blank face staring at them.

Together, they both let out a terrified scream before Red made a dash in another direction, carrying Chaotic on his back still. They didn’t care where they went as long as it wasn’t towards the unnaturally tall figure. Slendermane didn’t make a move to chase after them and only stood there, watching them run with their tails between their legs. He then let out an unearthly, echoing chuckle, pleased by the enjoyable show the two stallions were giving him.

Soon after the stallions were far away enough, a slim, night-blue Alicorn revealed herself from the trees she was hiding behind. “I assume you’ve enjoyed that?”

Of course, princess. I always found enjoyment in scaring the mortal minds of your ponies.” Slendermane’s tentacles retreated back into his body. He considered it to be impolite to have them out during a civil conversation, especially if it was with an old friend. “Consider this to be repayment for the favor you did for me before. Creating the Everfree forest for me was wonderful.

“Of course,” Luna giggled. “Why did you think I called you here?”

Well now I assume it would be for this,” he quietly laughed along.

“Say… you haven’t contacted me ever since I got back. You knew that I was released from the moon a few years ago.”

Well Luna, there was this thing,” Slendermane said in an awkward tone, hinting at how embarrassing this was. “The Everfree forest doesn’t exactly have the best sort of receptions, so I was forced to wait for you to find me first. Plus –” Slendermane let out a few light coughs from his nonexistent mouth. “– I would gather a lot of unwanted attention from the ponies if I were to waltz out of my home. It’s best that I stay as a figment of their imagination rather than be perceived as a true 'threat.'

“That’s no excuse, Slendy. It’s very rude to keep a mare waiting you know,” Luna teased, cutely sticking her tongue out a little.

The sharply dressed, scary, immortal abomination deeply groaned, feeling a little bit ashamed. He was always known as the most gentlecoltly among his peers back then. “Sorry, sorry. I know.

Luna giggled a bit at Slendermane’s little discomfort. “Don’t sweat it, Slendy. I’m not angry at you. By the way, I want to thank you for covering my job for a thousand years. It wasn’t exactly the easiest for me to continue governing the dream world alone from all the way on the moon.”

It was my pleasure to help. Although I suppose that means you owe me a favor as well,” Slendermane chuckled.

“Don’t push your luck,” Luna smirked. “You know you were more than happy to have some more control over the dream world, spreading around more nightmares than there should be.”

Hey, it’s not like it was my fault that fears are so delicious to me. I couldn’t help but indulge myself. Besides, ponies could always use a little more caution in their steps.

“Whatever,” Luna laughed again. She looked towards the direction where the stallions were running. She could distinctly hear them yelling out to look for pages. “So how long are you going to keep them here?”

Until I have my fill of course. It won’t be long. Fear from a stallion is the most delicious and filling, since they don’t normally show them when they’re awake.” Slendermane’s body slowly started to disappear into a cloud of smoke. “Catch ya later.” Slendermane in his smoke form then trailed after the two stallions to absorb more of their appetizing, terrified emotions.

Luna looked on after her friend for a few more moments before stretching her limbs out. She was still getting used to dreamwalking, so she had to stretch her muscles out every once and a while to rid herself of the occasional numb feelings. She then opened a portal that would lead to the next pony she had on her mind.

Hmm. I wonder if Derpy is having those muffin dreams again. She always did like her pastries.
