//------------------------------// // The Moon // Story: Sweetie Belle Can't Find Her Socks. // by Super Trampoline //------------------------------// Perhaps, thought Sweetie, Rarity had thought her socks ugly and banished them to the Moon. Her sister did live there occasionally, if the word "occasionally" is taken to mean "exactly once". She was also possessed by the Nightmare at the time, so perhaps she wasn't really in full control of her actions when she decided to relocate. At any rate, there was a distinct possibility Rarity still knew how to locomote (Not actually a word, according to the dictionary she looked at in another chapter) to and from the celestial object, and maybe she had a hidden sock cache there. Maybe she was hording socks to drive up their market price. Maybe Sweetie Belle would find a sock monster on the lunar surface. There was only one way to find out. Sweetie Belle jumped really high and landed on the moon. She found a thriving lunar landscape full of strange moon creatures, just like the Nightmare Rarity Comic Arc showed, but no socks. She explored for a while, because the moon is a big place. She even found a few hundred thousand hash marks carved into the dark side of the moon, surely the work of a bored Nightmare Moon. But she found no socks. She was also getting hungry after all this exploring. So she jumped really hard again and magically landed back on earth.
