My Little Luna

by Maximille De Lis


Chapter 4-Moon in the Mirror

I stood here looking at this little filly Luna as If I were dumbfounded, in which I was. I back out of the room slowly so I don’t startle her, leaving the door open. I went to the fridge to see what was in there that she could eat. A couple minutes later, I found a salad in the back that wasn’t dressed. I come back to the room as slowly as possible, trying not to scare her. As I round the corner, I see that she went back under the covers, as a form of safety between me and her. I put the salad on the bed so she doesn’t have to go far from her “safety zone”. After placing the salad I exited the room so she could eat. I came back a couple minutes later to see the plate was empty of all the leafy greens. I took the plate to the kitchen, rinsed it off, and went to go sleep on the couch.
As I was sleeping, a bundle of warmth managed to lay beside me, but not on me. I was happy, even if she only came to me for comfort. As I start to doze off, I start to wonder how I am going to raise this filly while trying to keep everyone else away. It took me a while to realize I am going to have to go somewhere secluded from society, and a miraculous amount of money. That morning, I found that she had disappeared into my room again. So I went into the astronomy room to do some research on first, how to raise a pony, Second of all, where a good place to live, and lastly, how I need to get a decent amount of money in a short period of time. Then it hit me, a theory I developed would sell for at least $2 million dollars, but then I wouldn’t have the right to say it was mine. So I did what I had to do, I sold it. I had little filly. 2 weeks later she started to come out of the room more, but if I moved to fast she would just dart back in.
So I learned that if I don’t move in her line of sight she won’t dart back in her room. Yes I did say her room because I now consider that room highly off limits, only to give her food I am allowed in. As usual, I sleep on the couch, and yet she somehow gets near me and sleeps there. I once tried to get to sleep closer, but that never ended well. I startled her and she ended up kicking me in the head. A week later she started staying out of her room and more in the living room. I still think she doesn’t trust me, even if I do feed her and stay out of her room. One day, she started to snuggle next to me, I couldn’t move to the shock she actually came up to me without being asleep.
I spent the next 2 hours stunned at what had just happened. I started to move around, and she started feeling a little nervous. Before I did anything I noticed she didn’t have her cutie mark; In the show, I never knew how she got it. I slowly raised my hand over her, and she stared at my hand as it moved. I gently put my hand on her back, feeling her tense up then relax. I started to pet her, and that seemed to make her happy. This is where we started to become friendly to each other.
