World on Fire

As I walk to back to my room I hear a voice and the sound of small hooves trying to catch up to. I turn and see a small unicorn filly running towards me. She was a the shade of purple twilight and her mane of a night sky indigo streaked with blue. Her eyes seemed to sparkle as she came running. "Hey mister you're awake now," she said. Her voice was familiar, but I couldn't really place it. " I was waiting for you to wake up so I could say hi."
"You were the filly from yesterday," I say remembering where I had heard her voice before.
"Uh huh, and the day before that and the day before that one. Sometimes it can be hard to tell what time it is now that the sun doesn't go down," she adds on the end.
"I'm pretty sure it must be."
"Do you think that something bad happened to the princesses?" She asks in a sad low voice.
"I don't really know for sure, but..." I don't want to lie her, but something instinctively tells me that this would be the best for her right now. "But things will be okay in the end. I'm sure that the princesses are just too busy beating up those dragons to bother with the sun and moon."
"You really think so?" she asks me perking up.
"Yeah, they're probably fine. Well, I should be on way then."
"Hold on," she pleads.
"What is it?" I ask her.
"I don't know your name."
"My name?"
"Yeah, I don't know your name."
"My name is Gambit, but that's not my real name."
"What is your real name?"
"I don't know, I'm trying to figure that out," I tell her.
"How can you forget your own name?" She exclaims.
"I'm afraid I don't the answer to that one either."
"Well, I know my own name," she says giggling.
"Prove it then," I say jokingly.
"That's easy, it's Melody Moon."
"Well it's nice to meet you Melody Moon.".
