It was morning and Rosebud walked into Luna's room and stood
by her bedside.
"Wake up, Lunarstar," Rosebud called to her as she
shook her.
"Mmmm?" Luna mumbled.
"Come on, get up. I got your breakfast downstairs."
Luna opened her eyes and yawned while Rosebud left the room.
Luna threw the covers off of her and climbed out of bed. She
stretched her legs and wings then walked over to the dresser
and began brushing her long white hair. Just then Little Flitter
flew in her room from the partly opened door.
"Morning, Luna!"
Morning," Luna replied, feeling to tired to even talk to
her, "Do you always feel so wide awake in the mornings?
"Yes," Little Flitter replied.
Luna yawned again, then she opened her jewelry box to get her
locket but to her surprise it wasn't there. She looked all over
her desk, the floor and in her school bag but she couldn't find
it.
"What's wrong?" Little Flitter asked.
"My Locket is gone," Luna answered worriedly.
"That golden necklace you always wear?"
"Yes. Have you seen it?" Luna asked still looking around
her room.
"Nope, in fact you wasn't wearing it last night. I guess
you were too tired to notice it," Little Flitter replied.
"Why didn't you say something to me?" Luna asked looking
up at her.
"I thought you had it put away so I didn't bother asking."
"I just can't loose it!" Luna exclaimed.
She hurried out of the room with Little Flitter behind her.
She walked downstairs and saw Skyview curiously watching TV.
"Skyview have you seen my necklace?" Luna asked.
"No, like Little Flitter said. You didn't wear it last night,"
Skyview replied. He had heard Luna and Little Flitter upstairs
talking.
"Am I the only one who didn't notice it?" Luna asked.
"Notice what?" Rosebud asked walking in from another
room.
"My necklace with my locket on it."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't seen it. When was the last time
you saw it?" Rosebud asked.
"When I put it on yesterday. I never take it off except
when I go to bed," Luna replied.
"Well, why don't you look for it later. Eat your breakfast
before it gets cold," Rosebud told her.
"But what about my locket? What if someone found it and
opened it?" Luna asked as she walked to the dinning room.
"I don't think anything will happen, Luna," Skyview
answered, "It's just a picture of your parents faces. You
can't even tell Royal Heart is a pegasus."
"But..." Luna felt her eyes starting to water.
"I'll look around the house if you like," Skyview proposed.
"Thanks," Luna replied but she still felt worried.
"I'm sure you just misplaced it. It'll show up soon,"
Rosebud assured her trying to make Luna smiled but it wasn't
working.
After breakfast Luna changed to an earth pony and hurried
outside. She hurried through the park to the ice cream shop and
saw her friends sitting at booth.
"Hi, Lunarstar," Starlight exclaimed.
Luna walked up to them breathing heavily from the long hard run
she had.
"What's wrong?" Melody asked.
"I lost my locket," Luna answered, "I got to find
it."
Blizzard sat behind them listing with interest. He remembered
when he had lost his necklace which he found out Raspberry had
it.
"Where did you last see it?" Sweetheart asked.
"I put it on yesterday morning," Luna answered.
"And when did you notice it was gone?" Bright Eyes
asked.
"This morning when I went to put it on."
"Maybe someone at home took it?" Bon Bon suggested.
"No one at home had seen it," Luna replied feeling
worried that someone had found it.
"We'll help you look," Patch suggested.
"I'll check here," Starlight added.
"Lets split up," Bright Eyes told everyone.
They got out of their booths and left the shop with Luna behind
them.
Some went to town looking around the ground while some went
to the park or checked with the boys. They looked at the school
ground and asked other little ponies but still there was no locket.
Luna walked sadly though the park, she thought about when her
parents first gave it to her because of how sad she was. She
had promised not to take it off and now it's gone.
"Lunarstar," Blueberry called to her.
Luna stopped and turned trying to smile.
"I heard you lost your locket," Blueberry remarked.
Luna let a tear fall from her cheek, "I'm sorry. That locket
means a lot to me."
Blueberry nuzzled her cheek, "I'll keep looking for you.
Maybe I'll ask Raspberry and see if she has it."
"Thank you Blueberry," Luna replied smiling.
Blueberry turned and left. He followed the sidewalk through
the shadowy trees when he noticed Blizzard looking under bushes.
Blueberry was curious ad had to stop.
"What are you doing?" Blueberry asked.
Blizzard raised his head and looked at him blankly, "Looking
for a locket."
"You mean Lunarstar's locket?" Blueberry asked.
"Yes."
"Did the girls asked you or...were you spying again?"
Blueberry asked.
"Spying?" Blizzard asked. He didn't like the way Blueberry
was talking to him.
"Ive seen you spying on little ponies in the park
and listening to other ponies talking. I've even seen you eyeing
Lunarstar a lot. I don't want to catch you spying on her again,"
Blueberry told him, "Besides, if anyone is going to find
her locket it will be me." He turned and began to walk away.
"Not if I find it first and so what if I watch other ponies.
You should mind your own business!" Blizzard warned him.
Blueberry turned angrily and face him, "Anything that deals
with Lunarstar is my business. Why don't you go home and stay
there."
Blizzard was getting angry, "I think it would be best if
you went home with that stupid sister of your and stayed there."
Blueberry walked towards him and stood close to him, "You
just leave Lunarstar alone and I'll be happy."
"I have the right to talk to her and walk with her or even
watch her if I want to and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Oh well see about that!" Blueberry replied.
Just then Patch and Bon Bon ran up to them and was surprised
to see them looking angrily at each other.
"Is...something wrong?" Patch hesitated to ask.
"No!" The two answered.
Then they turned and left, each going the opposite direction.
Patch and Bon Bon looked at each other feeling confused.
"I wonder what that was about?" Bon Bon asked.
"I have no idea but I don't think those two liked each other.
Come on, we have to find Lunarstar," Patch replied.
The two girls turned and ran till they found Luna looking
in trash bins.
"Lunarstar!" Patch called.
Lunar looked up at them hoping they had found her locket but
she saw they weren't carrying it, she felt dissapointed.
"We looked everywhere and can't find it," Bon Bon told
her.
Just then Starlight and Clover ran up to her.
"We can't find it either," Starlight told her.
Luna sighed sadly, knowing she had lost it for good.
Just then Bright Eyes, Sweetheart and Melody ran up to her.
"We can't find it," Sweetheart told her.
"Thanks for looking you guys," Luna replied sadly.
"Lunarstar it'll show up," Starlight assured her.
"I hope so. It's all I have of my parents while Im...here,"
Luna replied.
The girls walked together to the club house and had their
tea as they talked for a while then when the sun began to set,
Luna got up and left thanking her friends for the help.
She walked to the park and was about to leave it when she ran
into Blueberry at the exit.
"I'm sorry Lunarstar. I looked everywhere," Blueberry
told her.
Luna smiled weakly, "Thank you. I guess it's gone for good."
"I'll look tomorrow."
"Thanks Blueberry," Luna replied, "I better be
going home."
"I'll see you tomorrow," Blueberry replied then he
kissed her and left.
Luna turned and was about to leave when Blizzard walked out form
the bushes.
"I...heard about your locket. I even looked and couldn't
find it," Blizzard told her.
"Thanks but I don't think I'll see it again."
"I know what's it like to be...attached to a necklace. I
lost mine and got it back thanks to you. Lunarstar, keep looking,
something that special is bound to show up soon or later."
Luna was surprised to hear more than a few words from him, she
was surprised he even said her name. Luna realized he was right,
her necklace is special to her and will show up soon she just
can't give up. Luna smiled at him, "Thank you Blizzard.
I guess your right. I will keep looking till I find it. I got
to go home before my parents sends someone to get me. Bye!"
Luna turned and ran home.
Blizzard turned towards the park and saw Blueberry looking
at him angrily. Blizzard stared at him blankly then he turned
and went back to the shack. |
