//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Lost Memories // by kitkat0528 //------------------------------// Luna apologized so many times to Celestia. Celestia accepted all of them, never demanded for Luna to stop, and let Luna let all of her emotions out. Finally, when Luna was finished, Celestia wanted to sleep for a bit. "Lulu, you should get some sleep.... tomorrow I will explain many things of you're time... well, I guess you felt asleep," Celestia said. "Wait," Luna hesitated. "You know... Snowdrop? How long was I asleep? Where was I? Tell me now!" Luna demanded. Celestia sighed. "Lulu... you were on the moon... and you were up there for a thousand years." Those words pierced Luna's heart. She burst into tears. "Snowdrop is... is Dead! Snowdrop's gone! I never got say goodbye!" Luna cried. Celestia sat down next to Luna and hugged her. She put Luna under her wing and pulled Luna in. Luna stopped crying drifted into a deep sleep. Luna wanted to dream freely, the ponies could survive a couple night's without Luna dreamwalking. Luna forgot she was dreaming. She was sitting on the moon, watching the stars. Watching Celestia's night. Luna didn't like it as much as her own. Somepony tapped on Luna's shoulder. Luna looked back and shuddered. Snowdrop. "Hello, Luna. I have missed you very much. Lovely news! I can see!" Snowdrop exclaimed. Luna hugged her for a few moments, and pride herself off. "How are you hear? How can you see? It' been so..." Luna trailed off. Snowdrop sadly smiled. "I would rather not tell you. I wouldn't want to brake the heart that has been broken too many times," Snowdrop replied. Luna jumped with joy. "Fine with me! Snowdrop, you can live your dream! You've always wanted to see my nights! Let me show you!" Luna used all of her strength and magic to make shooting stars, blues, purples, and reds! It was surely the best night Luna has ever made. Snowdrop was frozen, looking up at the sky in awe. A tear fell down her face, her heart was beating so loud. Her eye's were shining and her face was glowing. "It's... Luna I.... it's so beautiful!" Snowdrop looked at Luna and hugged her. But bright cracks came appearing everywhere, and Snowdrop smiled the saddest of all smiles. "I must go! Thank you for the beautiful night Luna! I loved it!" Snowdrop faded away, and Luna screamed. Tears came pooling down her cheeks. Celestia's voice started calling for Luna. Luna fell and screamed. Luna awoke. And she never got to say goodbye. Luna's vision was blurry from all of the tears in her eye's. Her pillow was wet from crying (Celestia took Luna to her bed), and Luna's eye's were red. Luna screamed again, and guards came running in. Celestia pushed through and cupped Luna's face. "Lulu, What happened?" Celestia asked. Luna pulled away and jumped out of bed. "'Tia, can we talk about it with the guards gone?" Luna said. Luna eyed the guards. They nodded and scurrried back to there post's. Celestia closed the door, and sat on Luna's bed. "Are you okay?" Celestia asked. Luna sighed and wiped her eye's. "It's Snowdrop," Luna said. Celestia sucked in a breath. "I can't help you... I'm sorry, Lulu," Celestia said. Luna nodded. "Well, now thinking about it, I don't think you can," Luna smiled the same way Snowdrop did in the end of her dream. "A lovely dream turned into my worst nightmare," Luna said. Celestia sighed.
