	Luna is a very curious alicorn. As well as a very manipulative one. She loved her iPod. She had hundreds of songs on it. Luna's music consisted of soft, melody, sweet music. She always fell asleep when she listened to her music. I liked rock, pop, up-beat. I had some fan-made MLP songs. Luna had about a hundred MLP songs. Her favorite song was I'll take thee away and mine was Awoken.
Luna went online once and bought herself a pair of beats headphones (dark blue). When they arrived I had no idea what they were though, considering she never told me. The most ironic part about the whole thing, that I couldn't help but laugh at. The headphones are meant for human heads not for pony heads, so they didn't fit. Luna tried putting them on normally but they just slid down past her ears. She tried wearing them like a crown, but that didn't work either. The only way the headphones would fit was if she put them on upside down.
Luna wouldn't give up though. She took a knife, a saw, a needle and thread, and some magic. After about an hour she finally made it work. Luna had cut out a chunk of the part that held the headphones together. She reconnected it on the other side and wore the headphones like they were some kind of crown. The headphones still worked and she was able to listen to music all the time.
Luna was sitting on the couch listening to her music. I was siting in front of the computer on online stock market. It's how I keep paying my bills and could afford my house. My job as a mail man couldn't pay the bills, and I didn't want to work at McDonald's or some other job. Every now and then I'd go on the stock market and buy and sell some stock and hopefully make a good enough prophet. Luna was just starting to wake up. She walked over and jumped onto my lap.
"What are you doing?" Luna said looking at the screen.
"Online stock market."
"Why?"
"So I can make money to pay for you and this house."
"Can I try?" I thought about that for a moment and after about a half hour of teaching Luna the basics of stock market she got on the computer. She was actually very good at it. I could go on the stock market and make a prophet of maybe a few hundred to a thousand dollars if I'm lucky. Luna got on and made seven thousand in seventeen minutes. Once she got the hang of it though she earned a whole one mill in thirty minutes. After a couple hours of being on there Luna had earned a total of five million dollars.
What did we do with the money? Well I always wanted to live in Hawaii. It would be great there. Luna and I could actually get some privacy. We could go for more walks, teach her more magic, even teach her how to fly. I started making plans while Luna packed everything into boxes. I hired a construction crew to start working on building a house. My parents owned property in Hawaii and if I played the cards right I would only have to pay three hundred dollars in taxes a year. I sketched blueprints with Luna. The house would be two stories, a small music studio (Luna always wanted to make music of her own), three bed rooms, garage, living room, kitchen, and little backyard space so Luna could walk around at the house without being seen.
The property was around the middle of the big island. The property had two neighbors. There was a glass blowing studio across the street and one neighbor right next door. We could deal with that when we got there though. After a few weeks we finally had everything packed away in boxes. I wasn't going to take everything I had to Hawaii though. I set up a garage sale and sold a bunch of useless I wouldn't need. Most of the stuff I sold was just things that couldn't fit in the new house.
I could only make the house in Hawaii so big before the property wasn't agricultural any more. I got some Pack Rat containers and filled them with what was left. After a week of planning I bought a plane ticket. The whole family came to see me depart. I wasn't actually going to ride on a plane. I didn't want to spend seven hours sitting on a plastic chair. I especially didn't want Luna to have to go through that amount of boredom and uncomfortable experience. So what I did was just grab my ticket, Luna was waiting in the car, and went through baggage checking. After I was out of sight from my family I ducked into a bathroom.
I checked to make sure no one was in there and then I blocked the door with a wedge. I texted Luna and in a few seconds she teleported into in there. Luna had learned to do all kinds of of magic. She was able to move big boulders out of the way and even teleport. Luna teleported me to Hawaii. Luna was still small enough to fit in my backpack so I carried her around to the car dealership. After an hour of talking and negotiating I bought a four-door, black Jeep Rangler.
I drove Luna to the hotel we were going to be staying at until the house the was done. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was starting to set. Luna was sitting in a chair on the balcony. She was staring off in the other direction waiting for the moon to rise. I never let Luna raise the moon because of obvious reasons. Luna didn't really see why she couldn't raise the moon just once, but she agreed that she wouldn't so for now she remains without her cutie mark.
When the house was finally done I got the Pack Rat containers parked out front and was unloading all the boxes. I would go out and grab the boxes and bring them in while Luna stayed inside and unloaded the boxes and decorated. I brought in a box and set it down in the middle of the room. Luna was levitating books out of a box and placing them on the shelf. She pulled out my book and stopped to look at it.
"You should try and publish this again. They might think differently now." Luna said looking at me.
"Maybe some other time. I would rather be alone with you than have a hundred people asking for my autograph."
"Oh come on, this is a good story."
"No. I like it here. With you. No one else. It's perfect!" I brought in the rest of the boxes.
"The house was a quaint little house. It had two floors and a basement. The first floor was your standard living room with a kitchen and then a bedroom. The second floor had another bedroom. My bedroom was on top of the garage and there was a secret room above it. It was Luna's music studio. The basement was just like a man-cave. It had video games, TV and movies. I was setting up the TV and my Xbox when Luna pulled out my old blue MLP edition (custom) controller.
"Can I play?" She said.
"Sure." I finished hooking up the TV and Xbox. I showed Luna the basics and she began to play. The first game she played was Minecraft. She liked that it was like a survival game where you use your imagination to create almost anything.
