"Hello"-Normal Speaking
"Interesting..."- Nightmare Moon speaking.
'Huh'- Normal Thoughts.
'All mine...' Nightmare Moon's thoughts


After having been thrown into his bedroom (really a cupboard under the main stairs) a young boy of six named Harry Potter slowly whimpers as the door is locked. Not from pain, because neither his uncle nor his aunt had ever actually hit him, but from something just as bad... Loneliness. After all, verbal and psychological abuse also leaves scars, just not visible ones. Wrapping the small, threadbare blanket around him, the small boy's green eyes slowly close as a tear makes its way down his cheek. "I... I wish that I had a friend..." Unknown to the boy, at that point the light of the full moon seems to brighten for a moment as a silvery glow envelops him as his eyes close...

And reopen to an astounding sight! Looking around, he sees nothing but gray, powdery ground with large holes in it. It takes him a moment for the realization to sink in which is helped by the sight of a familiar orb hanging over the horizon as his eyes widen. 'Is this... the moon?' A split second after this realization, Harry claps his hands over his mouth and nose as he runs around before tripping on a rock. He lays there for a moment before blinking as he realizes something important. "I can Breath?" He blinks before getting up and then dusting him off. He then cocks his head to the side and scrunches his face up in thought. "Is this a Dream?" Not getting an answer, he begins walking.

Not too far away but just a few minutes before his arrival, someone else is also on the moon. A pony with a navy blue coat, a bluish-purple mane, wings, a horn, and what looks like a crescent moon on her flank. She stares up at the blue-green orb above her and sighs as she hangs her head sadly. 'Sister...' A tear slowly makes its way down her cheek. 'Why did I have to...?'

She suddenly stiffens as a silky voice begins to whisper to her."Aw... is the widdle Princess Luna sad...?"

Luna grits her teeth before shaking her head violently from side to side."Leave me alone you! This is all your fault! If you hadn't-"

The Voice just laughs darkly before speaking again, mirth carrying throughout it. "If I hadn't what Princess... tried to take our rightful place?" Luna shivers as she can almost imagine something softly caressing her making her feel unclean. "I did nothing but try to make our subjects love us... was that so bad..."

Luna just grimaces. "You were trying to force them! We... you had no right!"

She suddenly jerks as if struck while the voice venomously snarls in her ear. "No right... NO RIGHT!" The voice seems right next to her making her try to lean away. "We had every right Princess. Our dear sister on the other hand had no right to stick us here... just like she had no right giving us the time when she knew that our subjects would ignore in favor of sleeping... just to hog all the love and attention for herself!"

Luna begins to tremble as she shakes her head. "N-no! She's not like that! Celly is not like that! She loves me! Go away!"

The voice is silent for a moment before chuckling. "But I can't go away Princess... because I am you." Luna feels the ghostly touch of a hoof to her cheek before it vanishes. "I am every bit of darkness in you... all your anger, loneliness, sadness... hatred... Vengeance! I AM you Princess... it's you, the old you that's no longer real." The voice begins to laugh. "You are WEAK! And I am STRONG! You only exist because I allow it! No other reason! You-"

She is interrupted as Luna screams. "ENOUGH! THAT'S ENOUGH! Now go away! Leave me alone!" Luna collapses as she holds her head in her hooves as she softly cries. "Lea... leave me alone..." She doesn't notice a shadow detach itself from her and rush away towards the dark-side of the moon. For several minutes Luna lays there crying as her stomach feels as if it would expel anything in it, if there was anything in it. "I... I wish that I had a friend..." A tingle like an electric shock runs through her for a moment before dissipating. Sniffling, she blinks. 'What was that?' After a few moments, she ignores it to focus back on her downward spiraling thoughts. About ten minutes later though, she hears a gasp and her head shoots up in time to catch something ducking down behind a nearby crater. She blinks as her mind grapples with the fact that she might not be alone. Her eyes narrowed, she turns her head slightly away from the crater and once she sees movement from the corner of her eye, she jerks her head around to see something duck once more. Tilting her head to the side, she blinks. 'Okay... there is definitely something there... but what?'

She turns away and waits until it pops up and then ducks down before taking to the air and flying upwards a hundred feet while leaving behind an illusion of her being there. Meanwhile, in the crater, Harry is blinking. 'Was that... a unicorn? With wings?' He glances over the rim to see it again. "Pretty..."

Unseen by him, Luna silently lands behind him and looks him over in curiosity. 'What an odd creature... It's like nothing I've ever seen... except maybe those "Monkeys" in that book about the south...' She leans in closer, smiling as she notices that the being before her is watching her illusion. 'Hm, it's got hands like a dragon, but with no claws or scales and a mane too! But no fur? Is that why it's wearing clothes? It gets cold?' When she hears it say that she is "Pretty" however, she blushes as she's not used to be complimented on her looks except by her sister. She then begins to lean close before speaking in a soft, shy voice in order not to scare the creature before her. "Um... Hello there little guy..." The being stiffens before slowly turning, not noticing that the illusion that he's been watching wavers before dissipating into a purplish cloud. The two stare at each other before Luna gives it a shy smile. "Hi?" The being's (green, she noted) eyes widen before leaps onto the other side of the crater lip. Taking a step back in surprise for a moment, Luna leans forwards to see the being's wide eyes peering over the rim. Smothering a giggle at the sight, she gives it her best comforting smile. "Er... It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you..."

The little being slowly raises its head over the rim and gives her what she takes to be an inquisitive look. She blinks though at the words that come out of its mouth. "You can talk?"

Seeing the surprised look on the beings face, Luna cocks her head to the side in confusion. "Um... yeah. Of course I can, all ponies can talk." She then looks closer, her curiosity overtaking her for a moment. "But I don't what you are, so I am a little surprised that you can speak." She then cocks her head to the side as she notices that the being is slightly translucent and has what looks like a silver wire coming from its back and disappearing about a foot from the body. 'Is this another one of Nightmare Moon's mind games? It would be just like her.'

The being looks at her with an odd expression on its face. "But... Ponies can't talk." It then slowly climbs over the rim and sits down in front of Luna. "And I'm a human!"

Luna raises an eyebrow at this. "An Ooman? What's an Ooman?"

The little being giggles some before shaking its head. "Not 'Ooman', a 'Human!" It seems as if it's thinking something over for a moment before sticking a hand out. "My name's Harry! What's yours?"

Luna giggles some before sticking her hoof into its grasp, though slightly puzzled as to why she could feel it grip her hoof. "My name is Luna, Harry. Nice to meet you." Harry smiles as he shakes her hoof. A moment later, they let go. Luna then shrugs. "Oh well. At least this hallucination isn't as bad as some of them."

Harry just gives her an odd look. "What's a Halli... hallue..."

Luna giggles some more as she waves a hoof at him. "Hallucination Harry. It means that you're nothing but a figment of my imagination."

Harry just shakes his head. "Uh-uh! I'm dreaming this. You're the one that's not real!"

Luna just rolls her eyes. "No, you're not real."

Harry gives her a small scowl. "Uh-uh! You're not real!"

Luna shakes her head as she pokes him with a hoof. "No, I'm real."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am." Needless to say this continues for a bit before finally stopping with the two deciding that they're right and the other's wrong, but not wanting to argue anymore with a figment of their imagination. After a bit of quiet, Luna decides to just ask something. "Um... Harry?" Harry looks towards her with a smile. "Er... even though you're not real..." Harry crosses his arms at this. "Would you be my friend?" Luna watches as Harry's jaw drops and his eyes widen. She's about to say something when Harry suddenly hugs her. She blinks as she can feel him shuddering against her and could swear that she can feel tears soaking her pelt. "Harry?"

She could almost "Imagine" his arms tighten around her and she almost doesn't catch his next words due to how quiet he says them. "I... I never had a friend before..."

She just smiles as she wraps one of her front legs around him. She continues to hold him for a few minutes before he pulls away. She then lays a hoof on his shoulder. "Feel better now?" Harry just nods as Luna smiles. 'He may be nothing more than a figment of my imagination... but at least I can experience a little of what it means to have a friend.' She then gets shaken from her thoughts as Harry pokes her. "Yes Harry? What is it?"

Harry just looks at her with a curious look on his face. "Um... what do we do now?"

Luna blinks at the question, caught off guard by it. She begins to think as she considers it. 'What do friends do together anyways?' After a few minutes she shrugs. "I guess that we could... play a game? I don't know what to play, so you can decide."

Harry just looks down as he leans against her. "But I don't know any games... Except for Harry Hunting." Luna frowns as little as Harry flinches. After thinking it over and deciding to go ahead with his idea, Harry sudden brightens. "Hey! I know a game! We can play tag!"

Luna cocks her head to the side as she wonders about it. "Um... what's 'Tag' and how do you play it?"

Harry just smiles. "Oh, you just touch someone and go 'Tag! You're it!' and then they chase you, while trying to tag you... Like this." He then taps her on the snout causing her to jerk in surprise. "Tag! You're it!"

He then begins to run off leaving her blinking a little until she realizes what he just did. "Oooo! You better run Harry! I'm going to get you for that!" She then lifts off using her wings and starts to chase the laughing boy, all the while with the biggest smile she's ever had... don't know what to play, so you can decide."
