The Moon. An airless, lifeless ball of rock and dust.
For over a century, Luna has been trapped on this floating dustball, trying in vain to keep herself occupied. Bored and lonely, she desperately needs a companion. Any kind will do. She's not in the mood to be picky. But when the nearest living thing is hundreds of thousands of miles away, that's a bit of a challenge.
Then one day, she gets an idea. If she can't find a friend, maybe she can make one...

Of course. The comments section wouldn't rock without it.

What! What happened to Rocky!? Was he left alone forever on the moon!? Was he smashed to pieces by Nightmare!? Dammit Flint, I need to know!!! I DEMAND AN EPILOGUE!!!!!
(Holy hell this was good! Instant fave!)
I request a sequel. My feels are strong for this story.
Damn, this is one of the best short stories I've read in a while. And an original one to boot! Aside from a few grammatical booboos.
Still! I demand to know the date of Rocky!
...if you don't mind, that is.
Faved! Sequel? Oh, and here's the one big mistake I caught:
I think you meant "free will?!", right?
Nice Mariokart reference, too.

...what?
7825286 Damn phone... I meant fate.
You made me cry over an animated chunk of rock.
What kind of sorcery is this?!
Poor rocky.
Great fun! I wonder what Rocky's been getting up to in the 6 seasons, er, years since his friend left the moon? He seems to have innate magical power and free will, and a strong desire to be with his friend...
N.b. there's a mangled sentence here:
7827181
Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out!
Sequel? Rocky didn't die, so maybe a sequel where he makes some mechanism to launch himself the equis?
Personally I prefer Nightmare Moon being Luna herself renamed rather then it being it's own entity.
what's even worse..is if you look at it one way, NMM did the crime, an LUNA was the one to suffer the 1000 years near alone. only to have NMM wake up on the last day, and take over, as she was SLEEPING the whole time! totally unfair for luna, rocky, an her moon subjects!
hopefully one Luna will regain enough strength after the Element of Harmony blast, to visit her moon, or summon rocky an her moon ponies from her moon
