//------------------------------// // Goodbyes // Story: Once in a Blue Moon // by Riptid3 //------------------------------// "Have thou made thy decision?" Luna asked "Yes Luna, I have decided to..." You hesitate before answering. Were you sure that this was what you wanted? You closed your eyes, and took a deep breath. "Potato." You say. "What." Luna answered, obviously dumbfounded. You turn your head away, not daring to face Luna out of embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm really not one for making decisions as hard as this." You answer sheepishly. "My question still stands." Luna said. You take a deep breath. "No." You say. Luna raises an eyebrow, obviously puzzled at why you didn't take the ticket back home when you had the chance. "Why would that be?" Luna asks. "I know my mistakes, I haven't been on this moon for nearly long enough for it to be considered punishment. Even if I did go back, Celestia would just send me back here." You reply. Luna nods. She turns her head back to it's original position, staring at Equestria as it slowly turned. "You wanna know who should really go back though?" You answer. "Thou can't possibly-" Luna said "Yes, Luna. It's time you went home." "But-" "Do you really want to fight over it? You have every reason to go back. You've served your punishment long enough, and I think Celestia is starting to get a little tired of taking care of the moon." "But after what I've done-" "Okaythanksbye." Before Luna could react, you lit your horn, primed for a teleportation spell. "WAIT-" Luna says. Too late, there was a flash of light, and she was gone. All that was left was a black circle where she once stood. You sighed and sat down. Taking Luna's place and staring at the planet. Sure, you were lonely, you had no one else, but at least you wouldn't have to lose any sleep knowing that poor Luna was still stuck on the moon. Although the spell was rather sudden, you had a feeling that it would be good for Luna in the long run. It was about time she had some friends.
