> Meow! > by Stelsun Darkstar > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 01 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After another surprisingly beautiful dream, and eight hour sleep, Luna felt like somebody was calling her name from the other room. Oh, yeah, it was her sister, Celestia. Even though the dark blue alicorn didn't want to get up now, she had to, because Celestia sounded like there was something important. "Alright," Luna said, as she stepped in the living room, where her sister was waiting, "what is it, Tia? Better be something really important.." The ex-moon princess then noticed a box, laying in the middle of the room. "Um, Tia? What is this..?" "I dunno. The delivery pony said that it's a package for you, some sort of.. award from 'Miss Gigantia's Guess Show'..?" Celestia said, in a slightly confused tone, while she was calmly sitting on the couch, and casually slurping tea. Meanwhile, Luna was unpackaging the cartboard box with a piece of paper on it saying "For Luna" with her magic. When she opened it, the mare got a bit disappointed when she saw only one ice cream, just like that, packaged in that price box. Like, who would package a ice cream like that?! But Luna stopped caring about that, grabbed the somehow unmelted treat and began licking it with no hesitation. Then suddenly, Celestia got up, placed her tea cup on the small wooden table and asked, "Say, what exactly did you do.. to win this?" Luna then answered, "I dunno? I don't remember.. Also, you just mentioned 'Miss Gigantia's Guess Show'. Maybe i somehow got there, got asked some questions, won and got the price." "Or maybe you got drunk? That would explain on why you barely remember anything." Without a reply, the younger sister rubbed her eyes with her hooves and continued on licking the ice cream. Celestia looked at her sister, without saying even a single word, then she looked away and said, "Oh, i almost forgot!" Then quickly gallopped into the kitchen, leaving Luna alone in the living room. The dark coated mare confusingly blinked, then she thought to herself, "What did i won exactly..? Or.. maybe i got the wrong.. package..? No, it literaly had my name written on it.." Luna stopped licking the ice cream, because for some reason the sugary flavor was getting more and more tasteless. This gave her more time of thinking, "What if this package was a surprise for me..? Hm, i doubt it. If it was, the delivery pony probably wouldn't shout my name out like that.." Luna left the now tasteless ice cream back into the box, got up and streched her back. But while she did that, she accidentaly created a specific thrilling sound.. just like a happy cat. "Luna!" The older alicorn called from the kitchen, "I'm cooking something so i can't really look at you, but, did you just made.. a cat sound?" Still in a streching position, Luna gave an akward "No?" and then began on streching her hindlegs, just like that. Then the dark unicorn sniffed the air and asked, "Tia, what are you cooking?" "Hm? Oh, nothing special, just the ordinary.." She paused for a second. "..pancakes with olive sause.." Luna looked at the kitchen entrace with a slightly disgusted look. "Don't ask!" Celestia called again. "One mare told me that it's healthy to eat pancakes with olive sause! She also told me that it fixes problems with your guts, so.. i thought of giving it a try!" Luna decided to go and check if her sister's being serious or not. When the older sister noticed the younger one entering the kitchen, the white mare raised her left eyebrow in both curiousity and confusion. "Luna?" Celestia asked. "Is it me, or your tail looks more like a whip now..?" This question made the dark blue alicorn turn around and stare at her tail for ten seconds. Yeah, now her tail really looked like a whip with the still covered in stars hair at the tip of the tail. Luna got even more confused than before. "I.. I- I- I dunno what's happening anymore!" "Alright Luna, i think it'll be the best to calm down and go to the doctor!" Celestia recommended to her sister. An hour later, the two alicorns found themselfs in the doctor's office. "Will i be alright, doctor?" Luna asked after her twenty minute check-up. "Hm," Doctor Horse placed his hoof on his chin. "well, you will be alright, sence this isn't any medical disorder or anything related to that." Celestia sighed in a slight relief. "But it's still something that might have been casted with a spell. This is mainly the reason on why i can't help." The sister's eyes widened in very slight surprise. Then, after another "Thanks" and "Goodbye", the alicorns exited out of the hospital, feeling disappointed. Especially Luna. "So now what? Am i gonna live as a cat forever?!" Said the dark blue alicorn, as she felt how on her hooves were forming cat fingers and claws. "Hey, i doubt that it'll be that bad!" Celestia tried to relax her sister, but to no success. "I mean, a cat's life is basically like a royality, especially if it's an in-doors cat!" "Yeah.. i get your point, Tia, but.." Luna groaned, this time feeling how her cat claws are making their way to the surface. "..but i don't really want to live the rest of my life as a cat, if you know what i mean." "Feeling anything bad, sister?" Celestia called from the kitchen, while once again, trying to do the perfect 'Olive Sauce Pancakes', as weird as it still sounded. Luna meanwhile, was just.. laying on the big, dark red couch, without really doing anything. She then began swinging her upper limbs in the air. The fluffy paws and sharp claws, replacing her hooves, were now fully formed. "Ohhh.. noo..." The dark alicorn quietly groaned as she left her limbs to collapse back on the couch. "I'm really gonna be a cat now.. huh..?" . . . "The pancakes are ready!!" Celestia chimed in with a levitating plate full of weird looking pancakes from behind her. The alicorn akwardly felt silent and placed the plate on the table, when she noticed that her sister wasn't in the room. "Hm, she probably went to her room because of the smell from the pancakes that i made.." The mare thought. "Those are probably one of the worst things that i've done!" Celestia thought as she was done eating two of the olive pancakes, "I think now i get on why Luna woldn't like them.." With a raised eyebrow, Celestia looked at the door for her sister's room, "Mayybe i shold throw these away, and then check on her..!" After a minute, the tall mare found the trash can and threw the rest of the pancakes away. Talk about wasted food! Anyway, Celestia approached the room and opened the door.. much to her disappointment to realise that her little sister is not in there. The alicorn sighed, "I wonder where she could possibly be.."
