Lunarstar laid in bed under her warm blue covers. Her head
was half covered by the blanket, only the tip of her horn, ears
and wings stuck out. She was wide awake listening to her parents
in their room. She waiting till it was very dark outside and
for her parents to be sound a sleep before she got out of bed.
She quietly sat up, taking the covers off of her. The room wasvery
dark, she got off the bed and tip toed to her window. She peaked
between the cracks of her certains to make sure it was dark outside.
The sky was covered with twinkling stars and the Cresent moon
shinned brightly.
Lunarstar listened one last time to be sure her parents were
sleeping. She could hear them from their room.
Lunarstar smiled and winked out of her room, winking back in
above the forest trees. She flapped her wings and flew through
the sky as fast as she could and soring through the clouds. She
had wanted to fly for quite sometime and wished she could fly
all the time.
She flew over the houses towards the park when she noticed
a very strange thing. A cloud with another cloud behind it, moving
at a fast rate. The other cloud was shapped like a ball. Lunarstar
didn't get to close but she followed the cloud to the feild behind
the school.
Lunarstar flew low to the ground though the park and landed in
front of the school. She tip toed in the playground and hid behind
a white fence and tree. The fence was white like her coat and
hair so she was almost invisable agenst the fence. She gasped
when she saw Stardust and Starfire in the field, it was so dark
and their coats were so black they were hard to see. She watched
as the cloud landed and began to take shape, Lunarstar gasped
when she noticed it was Skyview. The Cloudball suddenly dissolved
and to her surpise it was Raspberry.
"Raspberry?" Lunarstar thought to herself, "What
do they want with her?" Lunarstar wanted to know but she
couldn't risk getting any closer.
She watched them talk a bit then Stardust left. Skyview and Starfire
stood wondering what to do with her.
"So Skyiew, what are you going to do with her?"
Starfire asked.
"I don't know," Skyview answered. He didn't know this
world and didn't know any other place in this world except for
Ponyland.
While Starfire and Skyview talked, Raspberry turned around and
ran to the forest. She was on the track team and had learn to
run fast but she wasn't fast enough. Suddenly she saw something
black flew by, it was to fast to see what it was. She looked
back and only saw Skyview, when she looked in front of her, she
hulted to a stop and gasped. Starfire stood in front of her waiting.
Was he the one that flew by?
"So you think you could get away from us?" Starfire
smirked at her.
Raspberry was scared, it all felt like a dream. All she knew
was she went to bed and woke up behind the school.
Skyview walked across the field and stood behind Raspberry.
"So what do we do with her?" Starfire asked again.
"I don't know. I don't know this world enough to know where
to put her."
While the two continued to talk, Raspberry turned around and
was about to get away when Skyview blocked her path. She noticed
a small opening under Skyview, it was a chance she had to make.
She quickly ran under Skyview and across the field towards the
school.
Starfire laughed while Skyview used his horn to create a cloud
in front of her.
She skidded to a stop and hit the cloud which imprisoned her
in the cloudball.
"Just what is so funny?" Skyview asked in a loud voice.
"What a smart pony. I would never have thought of going
under you," Starfire laughed.
Skyview and Starfire walked over to Raspberry. Lunarstar was
so close to them, she ducked low behind the white fence and kept
very still.
"So what do..." Starfire started to ask again.
"Don't even ask. I have no idea," Skyview interrupted
him.
"How about we take her to Dream Castle?" Starfire suggested.
"Star Cluster isn't interested in the ponies of this world.
He only want the Princess at the moment." Skyview turned
and walked through the school yard towards the park.
"Where are you going?" Starfire asked.
"To take a walk, now stop asking questions because your
not helping me one bit," Skyview answered.
Lunarstar sat up and watched them leave.
"I have to help," She thought, "but how?"
Lunarstar knew she had to think quickly before Skyview thought
of a place to take Raspberry.
"I can show myself but Skyview won't loose his concentration
on the ball...oh...I know. Stardust, they'll listen to him."
Lunarstar stood up, her horn began to glow and then her whole
body glowed and sparkled when the glow and sparkles had disappeared,
Lunarstar no longer had a white coat but instead she was tall
with a black coat and black and blue hair. She was an exact copy
of Stardust, she even sounded like him.
She smiled, "Now to find Skyview and Starfire."
Skyview and Starfire stood in the park talking about what
to do, they had thought to take her through the gate but there
was the trouble with Soilders guarding the gate.
As they talked, Stardust walked up to them through the bushes.
"Stardust I thought you left?" Skyview was a little
surprised to see Stardust so soon.
"Let her go," Stardust ordered them.
"What?" They asked, not sure if they heard him right.
"Let her go. I decided to take care of her myself,"
Stardust explained.
"Are you sure?" Starfire asked.
"Yes, now leave her to me. Why don't you to get some sleep,
you guys look tired."
"I...well, we are tired," Skyview muttered, "ok
Stardust, if you say so."
Skyview dropped Raspberry on the ground. She looked up and was
about to run away when Stardust set his hoof on her tail, "Get
out of here you two!"
Skyview and Starfire left Stardust and disappearing into the
darkness. Raspberry looked up at him, she was scared and was
too afraid to look away from him.
"Close your eyes," Stardust ordered.
"uhhhh," which was all Raspberry could say.
"Close them!" Stardust yelled.
Raspberry quickly closed her eyes, she feared what he was going
to do to her.
Suddenly a white transparent horn appeared on his and white transparent
wings appeared on his back. Stardust was actually Lunarstar who
was very happy she had tricked the two black ponies. She put
her glowing horn on Raspberry and with the slightest touch, Raspberry
was gone. She had been sent to her room in bed. Raspberry didn't
hear anything and decided to take a peak. She slowly opened her
eyes and was rather shocked to find herself in her room on her
bed.
"Was I dreaming?" Raspberry wondered outloud. She didn't
know but there was no other explanation.
Lunarstar changed back to her Winged Unicorn self and began
to laugh. She laughed at the thought of what Stardust was going
to say when he finds out they let her go.
"I guess I better be getting to bed before mom and dad finds
out I left the house," Lunarstar's horn began to glow and
with in seconds she winked to her room and climbed back in bed.
Skyview and Starfire went to the shack to lay down but to
their surprise Stardust was sound asleep under the little window
and comfortable under his blankets.
"How in the world did he beat us here?" Starfire asked
surprisingly.
"Lets ask him," Skyview took his hoof and lightly shook
Stardust, "Stardust, wake up."
"Mmmm?"
"How did you get here?" Skyview asked.
"I walked," Stardust yawned.
"But we just saw you," Starfire exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?" Stardust asked sleeply.
"You were in the park," Starfire answered.
"Of course I was, I had to walk through the park to get
to the shack," Stardust yawned and turned over facing the
wall, "now go to sleep."
"But what did you do with the girl?" Skyview asked.
"Stardust lifted his head and with one eye half opened he
looked up at Skyview, "What are you talking about?"
"You said you'd take care of her," Starfire answered.
"Take care of who?" Stardust asked.
"The girl you asked me to get," Skyview answered.
Stardust was confused, he had no idea wht they were talking about,
"I've been here asleep, I never left the shack after I left
you guys at the field."
"We saw you at the park, you said you would take care of
her yourself," Skyview exclaimed.
Stardust stood up feeling surprised at what Skyview had did,
"You mean you let her go?"
"Yes, you told us to," Starfire answered.
Stardust began to paw the wooden floor, "I said no such
thing!"
"But we saw you. You stood in front of us. How many ponies
can possibly look like us?" Skyview asked.
Stardust didn't answer, he continued to paw the floor, his two
brother was getting nervous. Suddenly Stardust rammed them through
the door. They flew outside and landed on the ground against
a tree.
"I did not tell you to let her go!" Stardust yelled.
Skyview knew Stardust was really mad, he turned himself into
a cloud and left the forest. Starfire ran and took a flying leap
in the air to fly far from Stardust.
Stardust took off running like a blur, before Starfire could
get a yard off the ground. Stardust jumped and grabed his tail
in his mouth holding starfire down.
"We are serious, you we there. We saw you, he even talked
and acted like you. It was you!" Starfire cried.
Stardust let got of his tail and Starfire flew up into the tree
tops, landing in on the branches.
"You guys can't hide from me for long!" Stardust yelled.
Stardust was mad, he wanted Raspberry out of his way so he could
find the Princess without Raspberry around but what his brother
told him began to bug him. Who was the pony that looked and sounded
just like him? Could there be ponies in this world that looked
like ponies of the other world?
Stardust was deeply troubled, he walked to the cliff and laid
down thinking about what they had told him. It wasn't long till
he fell asleep and his brothers quietly came back.
"He will calm down in the morning," Skyview whispered.
"I'm glad he didn't stay up all right, I'm feeling really
tired," Starfire could feel his body begining to relax.
"Stardust keeps insisting it wasn't him but it had to be...but...Stardust
never lied to us," Skyview was so confused and tired.
"I'm too tired to care at the moment," Starfire walked
back into the shack with Skyview right behind him.
As soon as they had laid down and covered themselves, they fell
asleep. |
