Day-2-Saturday
That morning literally started of with a bang,
Locke's mum banged on the door for mim to get up and the sudden noise made Luna fall out of the bed.
His mum asked "What was that noise?"
Locke said "I just fell out of bed mum! I'm okay."
He looked at Luna and saw that one of her splints had come off and that she was wincing in pain.
Locke ran over to her and helped her back onto the bed and put Luna's splint back on (which was painful for her).
The moon was still out so Luna slowly walked over to the window and began to lower it.
Locke looked at the clock and saw that it was 7 o'clock so the moon being out wasn't so unusual.
Once Luna had lowered the moon fully Locke asked "Do you want some breakfast?"
She asked "What could I have?"
Locke said "Uh...we have cornflakes." "Okay."
When Locke went down stairs he could hear Luna getting in the shower.
He had explained how to use it so she didn't use only steaming hot or freezing cold water.
His mum was in the kitchen making toast, Locke was glad she was slightly deaf so she couldn't hear the water running in the shower.
He made a bowl of cornflakes for Luna and wheat-bix for him.
When he was just about to go back upstairs his mum said "Why do you need two bowls of cereal?"
Locke quickly replied "I'm very hungry."
His mum looked at him suspiciously but let him go back upstairs.
When he got into his room he locked the door and put Luna's breakfast on the bedside table. She was still in the shower.
Locke turned on the TV and started playing his Xbox.
A few minuets later Luna came out of the shower with her mane and tail wrapped in towels, her fur was knotted and puffed up in places.
It was hard not to laugh at her but he managed to keep it to himself.
"Want some help with that?"
"Yes please. Do you have a brush?" asked Luna.
"I will have to get one from my mum." and with that Locke left the room.
He snuck down the hall into his mums room and took the most comfortable one from her draws.
When he got back to his room Luna was drying her mane and tail with the towels.
Locke walked up to her and asked "Where do you want me to start?"
Luna replied "Can you please brush my mane first?"
As he started brushing her mane he heard his mum waking up the stairs.
He quickly rushed Luna into the bathroom and shut the door right as his mum came in.
"What are you doing?" his mum asked.
"Uh...I just went to the toilet." said Locke.
"You look like you're hiding something." his mum said, looking suspicious.
"No, I'm not hiding anything." he said frantically.
"Hm, okay I don't really believe you but promise me you'll be careful." said his mum and she went back downstairs.
Locke sighed in relief and opened the door.
"It's okay. Mum's gone now."
Luna walked out and lay on the bed again "All this hiding is frustrating. Do you have any books?" she asked.
"I think I have some in the cupboard." and he walked over to the cupboard and pulled out the first of his favourite series.
"This is an interesting series, you might want to give it a read. While you're reading I'm going to look into how to get you home."
Luna looked surprised and said "Do you think there is even a way to get back?"
"I'm not sure but if there is i'l find it." promised Locke.
"Thank you!" cried Luna as she hugged him. He blushed and said
"You're welcome."
Luna then picked up the book in her magical grip and opened to the first page.
Locke began looking for information to help her get home.
After an hour or two Locke found something, "Listen to this! There have been records of an undiscovered element appearing multiple times in the last few years. Do you think this "undiscovered element" is magic, like the way you got here?"
"Maybe, but how?" Luna asked.
"I don't know. It doesn't say here. It seems the government put up fences around the site for a few months whenever it happens. I'l see if I can find anything else."
Later Locke brought Luna a late lunch, an apple, banana and grape smoothy. Locke had noodles.
After lunch he started his homework, an assignment which was due the next day.
When dinner arrived he slipped a portion of it into a bag and brought it to Luna afterward.
She said she wasn't very hungry and only ate a little bit.
Soon Luna grew drowsy and Locke put a movie on before going to sleep.
Day-3-Sunday
Miss a day where absolutely nothing interesting happened.
Day-4-Monday
The next morning the alarm went off at 6.45 AM. Luna got up to raise the moon but Locke laid on the mattress groaning.
"What's wrong?" asked Luna.
"It's a school day." replied Locke.
"And?" she asked as she finished lowering the moon.
Locke said "And I hate school days. Wait, what are we going to do? You can't stay here."
"Don't worry. Stay still." Her horn lit up and Locke's vision was tinted blue for a second.
"There, now only you can see me. I'm invisible to everypony else. But it will only last for 10 hours and I can only do it once a day."
"Hang on. Your legs are healed?"
"More or less I still can't walk for more than a few minutes. Maybe I can come to school with you." she said as she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
"Wait, you want to come to school with me?" said Locke surprised.
"Well I can't stay here. The spell only works if you are nearby. Your mum will find me." he heard her say from the bathroom, her voice muffled from the toothpaste.
She finished brushing her teeth and walked out of the bathroom.
"When do you go to school?"
"In a few minutes. I just have to pack my bag."
After Locke packed his bag they went downstairs.
He was very nervous so when Luna knocked something over and his mum asked "Did you knock that over?" he panicked a little.
"Uh... Yeah. Still a little tired."
So his mum didn't see Luna, the spell had worked after all.
When they were waiting for the bus Luna said
"How will we get to school?"
Locke replied "The bus will be here soon."
The bus arrived and when they got on it Luna's tail almost got caught in the door.
On the bus Luna looked around in amazement "I have never seen anything like it. A vehicle that moves on its own that isn't a train or assisted with magic."
"It's called a bus, there are other things too. Like that." Locke pointed as they passed a car.
"That's called a car. Also, can other people hear you when you're like that?"
"I don't think so." said Luna.
So to test her theory she leaned over and yelled into the person on the rows ear " HELLO! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
She she turned around and said "It appears not."
"So I look stupid then, talking to nothing." He looked over at her and saw her looking away.
"What's wrong?"
"You called me nothing." she mumbled.
"I meant that since others can't see you they'll think I'm talking to nothing. I didn't call you nothing." He said hastily.
"R...really?"
"Really." and gave her a hug (only afterwards did he realise how stupid that must have looked to everyone else on the bus).
When they got to school Locke handed up his assignment and Luna sat in the always unoccupied seat next to him.
The first lesson was maths and they where doing algebra.
He was stuck on a hard question and asked Luna for help. When she explained it it seamed really simple and easy to do.
Later it was recess and just before Locke about to bite into his food the class bully came over
"Hey, give me your food. Now!"
He didn't know what else to do so Locke handed over his food.
But just before the bully grabbed it he was surrounded by a dark blue energy and flung sideways.
He jumped up and yelled "What was that! How did you do that?!" and without waiting for an answer he ran off.
He looked at Luna, she had a satisfied smile on her face and said "He won't be giving you any more trouble."
"Uh...yeah, thanks."
Next Locke had a test in which you weren't allowed to talk or laugh. The annoying thing was that Luna kept making funny faces next to him.
So when he started to snicker everyone looked at him like he was mad.
"Luna, stop." he said under his breath. "You're going to get me into trouble."
Eventually she stopped and Locke could finish the test (with a little help from Luna).
At lunch they went to the library and started to read. Locke had brought a book for Luna to read and another book for himself.
To anyone looking it would look pretty strange for a book to move its pages on its own when, in fact, Luna was turning them.
Eventually they had to leave the library and go outside. Luna's legs where still hurting so they sat down on a bench.
Locke had to share his lunch of cheese and biscuits since she didn't have any food.
"Does the food disappear when you eat it or does it just hover there?" Locke asked Luna.
"It disappears unless I have my mouth open."
"Oh, okay."
After lunch Locke had English.
He had given his friend his sticky tape to fix his book but after a while Locke realised he wasn't going to give his tape back.
When he went over there and Luna had followed he asked to have his sticky tape back but his friend said "I'm still using it."
"No you're not. You're just sitting there, not doing anything. Can I have it back now?" Locke asked.
"Can I have it back now?" echoed someone else in the class mocking him.
"Give it back." said Locke, a little more forcefully.
"You stole it from the school." retorted his friend.
"No I didn't." said Locke.
"No I didn't." said someone else.
His friend picked up the sticky tape and and said "I can't fix my book in English."
"Why not?" Locke asked.
"I just can't."
"Why not?" mocked someone else.
Luna could see Locke was getting annoyed so she used her magic to pick up everyone who talked pencil cases and empty them.
Then she made the pencils and rulers hit them over the head. After about ten seconds it was all over.
Everyone looked surprised and his friend gave back the sticky tape. Locke looked at Luna and smiled.
After school they got on the bus and Locke asked "How long until the spell wears off?"
"Maybe 20 minutes." replied Luna.
"Just enough to get home then."
When they got off the bus and walked into the house Luna's image flickered.
"What was that?" asked his mum.
"What was what?" said Locke as he turned to see Luna run up the stairs.
"I swear I saw something. Oh, never mind. Did you have a good day at school?"
"Yeah I'll be back in a minute." he said on his way upstairs. When he got into his room Locke closed the door and locked it.
"What happened?" he said as he sat down.
"The spell dropped. That's why your mum thought she saw something. I was visible for a fraction of a second." said Luna wincing from running with her wounded legs.
"Do you want some painkillers?" asked Locke noticing her pain.
"No thanks. I have a spell to numb the pain." And her horn lit up. Then her face became a lot more relaxed. "That's better."
"Do have a spell to fix your legs?" said Locke.
"No, I only learned basic healing magic." replied Luna.
"I said I would go back down and talk to my mum for a bit. Do you want me to put the TV on?" said Locke as he got up.
"Yes, please." Luna got more comfortable on the bed.
When Locke went downstairs he walked into the living room to talk to his mum.
"How was your day?" his mum asked.
"Not bad. Someone tried to bully me into giving him my recess but I retaliated so he probably won't hassle me again." replied Locke thinking about the day that had just passed.
"Well good for you. You need to teach these bullies a lesson. Anyway dinner's at 6 o'clock."
"Okay. I'll be back for 6." And he went back upstairs.
When Locke was back in his room and had locked the door he asked Luna if she wanted to play a board game "What games do you have?"
1 hour later.
Luna had just smashed Locke on scrabble.
"Wow! You're great" Locke
"Thanks." replied Luna, blushing.
There was a yell from downstairs "Locke! Dinner!"
"There's mum. Do you want some dinner? We're having macaroni and cheese."
"Okay. Not to much though, I feel kind of sick."
Locke looked worried. "I'll get a thermometer while I'm down there. Do you want an cool towel or a hot water bottle?"
"Towel please."
Locke nodded and walked out the door.
Luna got back into bed and started talking to herself
"Why do I feel this way?" she asked herself.
"Do I like him? Yeah sure. In a friendly kind of way, but the other way? No! I can't! But the way he cared for me when I was hurt. And how he wants to care for me now.
Oh, my goodness. I DO like him that way. But he's a human and I'm a pony and I've only been here a few days. I can't love a human. Oh, what to do?"
Downstairs Locke was oblivious to what Luna was feeling. He was enjoying some macaroni and cheese.
He slipped some in a bag and got up.
Then he remembered to get an towel for Luna.
When he went back to his room he saw Luna on his bed asleep.
"Aw, she's so cute while she's asleep." He didn't wake her up but he put the cool towel on her head.
Locke couldn't risk turning on the TV because it might wake her up.
So he went back downstairs and washed up. After reading for a while he realised it was late and got up to go to bed.
However he was stopped by his mum "There's been something odd about you the last few days. What's up?"
"Nothing mum. You're just tired. But I am feeling a bit sick, so if you don't mind I'd like to go to bed." Locke walked up the stairs.
He said he was sick so he could stay home to look after Luna the next day while his mum was at work.
When he got to his room he replaced the towel on Luna's head and turned off the light.
