The air was crisp and cold as the days first light began to struggle to make itself known
through the thick gray clouds that still covered the sky from the storm from the night
before. A thick blanket of snow coated every surface that lay outdoors, the light glinting
off some of the flakes as the suns light, even though very dim, began to peek over the
horizon. But you took no notice of this as you awoke from your slumber on the two still
open cushions of your royal blue couch. It must have been around midnight when you
called it quits and, after winding up the cord on your controller, you had quickly fallen
to sleep. But now as the dim sun began to peek through the blinds that covered the
far wall of your den, a problem had made itself known.
"This might be a problem." You mumble as you wipe some of the sleep from your tired
eye. "I wonder how I'm going to get up without disturbing this little filly." You say with a
soft sigh.
It appeared at some point during the night, while you slept, Luna had woken up and, for
one reason or another, had crawled onto your chest an had fallen back under the spell
of slumber, her head now resting lightly under your chin as your mind came to full attention
in the really morning light.
"I could just try to slide from out under her." You think to yourself. "But in the position
I'm in I don't think I would get very far before I woke her up." You sighed, Luna shuffling
a little as you exhaled.
"Mmmmm no more salwad pwease. My tummy's full." She mumbles softly.
Then as she let out a sigh a idea popped into your head. "Well that's a bummer because
I have all these yummy pancakes and no one to eat them." You whisper temptingly into
one of her indigo ears. "But now that you said that I guess I'll have to find somebody else
to eat them"
"Well I guess a few more bites wouldn't *yawn* hurt." Luna sleepily sighed.
"Are you sure? I could just get to someone else to eat these warm, fluffy, buttery,
maple syrup drizzled, pancakes I made." You tease to her.
Slowly Luna began to stir, a strand of drool dangling from her muzzle, as she raised her
head sleepily so she could look up at you, another yawn escaping from her muzzle as
she did.
"Good morning Luna." You smile.
*Yawn* Morwing."
"Did you sleep well?" You ask, brushing a few strands of her periwinkle mane out of her
eyes.
"Yep, outpost Wuna's walls kept me warm during the harsh bwizzard wast night." She
mumbles softly.
"Well that's good and I'm happy to report that not a single bumble was spotted last night ."
"That's good." Luna yawned, rubbing a hoof against one of her eye's. "They sound scarwy."
"Yeah they kind of are but their not all that bad. They just need their teeth pulled."
"Weally?" Luna asks sleepily. "That wakes them nice?"
"Well yeah, at least that's what I hear but enough talk about bumbles how about I make
you some breakfast?"
"I would wike that." Luna smiled, as you pulled yourself up and placing a hand on her
back so she wouldn't slide.
"What would you like me to make you?"
"Mmmmm wet me think." Luna said as she placed a hoof to her lower lip, pondering the
answer to your question.
Seconds pass then minutes all the while Luna ponders, humming slightly as she does.
Eventually you get tired of waiting and, with a quick shuffle, scoot yourself the rest of the
way up right and give the pondering Luna a hug.
"How about I rattle off some idea's and you can pick what sounds the best?" You ask the
little filly held tightly in your arms..
"Ok, my heads still sweepy any ways." Luna giggles.
"Well we'll just have to wake it up then." You smile, spinning slightly so you can swing
your legs over the edge of your couch.
Quickly you go to stand and raise from your couch but as one of your feet touch the
floor a surge of slight pain shots through your foot causing you to retract it hastily
from the frigid surface, it appears that maybe you didn't apply that weather seal to
your door after all.
"What's wrong daddy?" Luna questions, concern in her indigo eye's at your sudden jolt.
"Oh nothing the floors just a bit cold. Hmmm you up for a bit of mountain climbing Luna?
"Mountain cwimbin? What's that?" The little filly questions, as you slide your legs under
each other almost crossing them.
"It's what we do when we need to find another way off big blue mountain without touching
the floor."
With a huff and a push with some effort behind it, as the soft cushion collapsed under your
weight, you push yourself up so your backside was resting on the back rest of your couch.
Then with a quick turn, along with some footwork so you wouldn't tumble forward, you and
your fellow mountain climber stood a top of said 'big blue mountain' and now looked upon
a deep valley, a.k.a. the gap between your couch and a five by three pass through window,
which separated you and Luna from breakfast. But as soon as you place one of your feet
upon the back of the couch to make the short leap a light poke from Luna stops you.
"Um daddy?"
"Yes Luna."
"Can......can I's goes first? I want to make sure its safe before you cross." Luna asks softly
as she gaze's over the valley that lays before her then to you.
A sigh escapes you as your arms tighten around the little blue filly. "Thank you sweety but
I'll be going first."
"But what if there's bumbles or if you fall?"
"Oh I think I can handle a bumble or two." You grin as you lift her above your head. "But
how about this you can sit on my shoulders and be my lookout why I cross. That way you
can spot any dangers I don't see. Sound good to you?" You ask as you feel Luna's weight
running done your spine.
"Mmmmm ok daddy, but be's careful."
"I will and besides it's not that wide silly." You say as you move one foot and place it on the
edge of the window.
Carefully and slowly you lower yourself into a slight crouch, making sure that when you
pushed off you wouldn't slam your head into the adjacent wall, with Luna on your shoulders
falling wasn't an option. Slowly you draw in a breath and, after a quick adjustment of the
foot that still rested on the back of your couch, you push off the back of your couch and,
with a quick duck, you pass through the window and stop safely on the counter of your
kitchen.
"Now would you care for a waffle or two Luna or would you like me to make you something
else?" You ask as you plop down onto your backside and place Luna down next to you.
"Yes pwease.......Wait.....What's a waffle?"
"Ummm do you know what pancakes are?" You question, a little dumbfounded.
"Mmmmmm....no." The blue filly sighs.
"Well it's kind of hard to describe them. I know how about I make you some of both for
you then. You smile patting Luna on her head. "Hey Luna did you bump your head on
something last night?"
"No daddy why?" Luna asks as you pull your hand back and look at her with concern.
"Well if you didn't how did you get that bump on your forehead?"
"Oh that's not bump, that's my horn."
"You have a horn?"
"Mmm huh." Luna says tilting her head allowing some of her mane to fall to the
side, revealing, as she put it, a small indigo horn. "See."
"Ah........."
"And I have wings too."
"You do?" Well aren't you just full of surprise's." You chuckle giving her head another
pat. "How about you show me what you can do with them after we eat ok."
"Ok daddy." Luna beams as you set to work gathering the item you needed to give you
and Luna a delicious morning meal. "Can I's help?"
"Of course, now let's get started."
