- >Just another sleepless night in Equestria
- >For the past month, you've struggled with sleeping at night
- >On any other planet, you would be angry
- >In any other world, it would be driving you crazy
- >But not this one, and definitely not tonight
- >You threw on your clothes and stepped outside your house
- >You made sure you had your key, and that the door was locked
- >Some ponies still didn't understand why you insisted on being able to lock up your house
- >You didn't expect you'd ever be able to explain to them why it made you feel safer
- >You shook your head, you had somewhere to be
- >You made your way out of town to the nearby grassy hills
- >You found the usual spot immediately, a hill whose only recognizable feature was a large rock
- >You took your usual place next to the rock, and waited
- >It wasn't long before you heard the soft whoosh of a teleport spell and felt the accompanying breeze of displaced air
- >During your time in Equestria, you'd heard teleportation often enough to pick out the slight differences between spellcasters
- >...Okay, so there were only like four ponies who were capable of teleportation, but still
- >It was a nice trick to have
- "Hey, Luna. Glad you could find the time to join me tonight."
- >She chuckled softly to herself
- >"I wish you'd stop doing that Anonymous, it makes it so hard to surprise you."
- >You shrugged
- >"How do you do that, anyway?"
- "Maybe I'll tell you later. For now, don't we have something more important to talk about?"
- >"Yes, I suppose we do."
- >You turned your head skyward as Luna took her usual spot next to you
- "So, what should we talk about tonight, Luna?"
- >She put a hoof to her chin, thinking it over
- >You had a feeling you knew what her answer would be
- >She always wanted to know more about your home
- >"The stars of Earth."
- >You smile
- "Good choice."
- >For the next hour or two, you told her everything you could remember about Earth's constellations
- >She even made a few of them, with your help
- >It still amazed you to watch her work her magic on the stars
- >Soon enough, however, you were feeling exhaustion set in
- >You leaned against the rock, struggling to keep up the conversation
- >Your eyelids were so heavy... it wouldn't hurt to close them for a minute
- >"Anonymous, could you tell me more about this 'Hubble Telescope' you mentioned-"
- >Luna hadn't noticed you succumb to sleep
- >When she saw your peacefully slumbering form, she smiled to herself
- >"Let's get you home."
- >A soft whoosh and a gentle breeze signifies your departure
- >Back home, Luna places you in your bed
- >"Good night, Anonymous."
- >She kisses your cheek, and is surprised when you return the favor
- "Good night, Luna."
- >Tonight was a good night
