Nightmare Night

>Be Nightmare Night, first one since falling into Ponyville

>Strolling around White Tail Wood

>Decide to check out the statue of Night Mare Moon

>Hear a rustle, not my jimmies

>System Search: Loc. Fucks.**

>SYSTEM ERROR

>File: “Fucks.**” not found.

>Have you tried locating in another folder?

>Seriously, you couldn’t care.

>Nothing too dangerous in these woods.

>Rustling gets closer

>Still not a fuck

>Suddenly, tackled to the ground

>Remember what your father used to say to you

>”I find your lack of fucks disturbing”

>Open your eyes to see you have been attacked by an Alicorn

>Dark blue coat, Almost black really, and a shimmering blue mane.

>Very sharp horn close to your throat.

‘Oh hello Princess Luna’ you say without a care.

>’YOU DO NOT FEAR ME!!!’ She bellows in the Royal Voice

‘Not really. I also remember the sweet Princess that greeted me when I arrived here.’

>Her form changes back to her regular look, but her face is blushing.

>’You do not fear something killing you?’

‘I have my reasons why I don’t fear anything.’

>Her horn glows, and her face turns to a look of confusion.

>’You tell the truth. You truly fear naught.’

‘Does that worry you, your highness?’’

>’I…I don’t know. But please, address me as Luna.’

>You decide to walk with Luna for a while.

> ‘Everyone fears me, which on a night like tonight, I am not ashamed of. I grew to enjoy the fear that I brought on this night, because after all is said to be  finished, I can be seen as a Princess again and have fun.’

‘This night reminds me of a night back on earth called Halloween. Humans would dress up but to scare off spirits.’

>’Do you miss earth?’

 ‘No, I have found things here are much better.’

 >You can’t help but blush, and look at her.

>You notice she blushes too

>CRAP, SHE READS MINDS TOO.    

>’Anon, why is it you have no fear?’

>You sigh heavy.

‘Luna, I will tell you, but I need for you to not read my mind. I have to explain things, and I don’t want you to get the wrong idea before I finish.’

>She gives you a solemn nod.

>You make your way towards her statue and sit in front of it.

‘Back on earth, as I have said before, we have many problems. War, Famine, Pestilence, and no one able to stop it. When humans start feeling really upset, they lose hope in living on this planet.’

>’What do you mean, Anon?’

>You roll up your shirts left sleeve, revealing scars from cuts, both horizontal and verticle.

‘Everyday I suffered on that planet. I wish I would never return to such a horrid place, and I have found a place to accept me. But I tried to escape from the world time and time again. And after all my attempts, I saw the other side of death itself. I thought death was a horrible force, taking many by force. I was wrong.

>‘Death should be greeted like an old friend, for he is the only one who stands beside you in the end. After I knew what death was, I knew nothing could make me fear death. Anything can kill you, so why fight back, so to speak.’

>She looked at you with an intense interest.

‘I'm sorry if I burden you with these thoughts. I do not wish to inconvenience you.’

>’Worry not, Anon. I felt your story was intriguing, and I am glad I can understand you further.’

>You feel your face get red again. Never has anyone taken the time to talk to you.

>’But what are you doing so far out in the woods?’

‘No reason really.’

>You hoped that Luna would be out this far so you could see her—

>Luna chuckled

‘Did you just read my mind again?’

>’I don’t know what you are talking about Anon’

>Both you and Luna blush.

>’I should be going.’

‘Oh…okay. Thank you for the wonderful night Luna.’

>Realising how bad that sounded.

>You feel her kiss you on the cheek

>’Good night Anon.’

>In a flash of light, Luna was gone.

>But not the blush on your face.
