Author's note: Um, Luna can really cook, and she is good with animals, particaly horses. Okay, I did some editing. So enjoy!

More secrets

Luna went downstairs to the kitchen to help cook.

"Well, you must be the new chef. I'll go get the ingredients, and you can start cooking. Jane, why don't you set the table." Pepper said, as she hurried to the garden.
"Okay." Jane said as she went outside to set the table.

Luna started cooking a recipe that her moms' friend taught her, with a few twists. Only her mom hated cooking, because she was more of a tomboy (secretly, she was a girly-girl and loved cooking), so she loved it when Luna cooked. Luna always liked cooking, ever since she tried one of he moms' friends dishes.

I can't wait until I taste this. It's been so long since I ate some real food...

Luna gave Pepper a list of ingredients Luna needed.

"My, this is a long list, Luna." Pepper commented.

Luna said, "The result is better than you start with."

When Pepper and Rake finally got all the ingredients, it took a while for it all to cook.

Since Jane finished setting the table, she was practicing with Gunther. Jester, Dragon, and Smithy all joined to watch them.

There was roast chicken, fresh bread, sweet baby carrots, baked apples, pea soup, mashed potatoes, pancakes, rhubarb, roasted chestnuts, figs, and wild strawberries.

Luna smiled and said, "Most of them are leftovers, but the rest are fresh from the garden."

"Why, Luna, this is as lovely as linen!" Pepper exclaimed.

"Thank you, Pepper." Luna smiled.

Just then Jane, Jester, and Smithy came to eat. Gunther was putting the swords away. He took a while on purpose.

"Wow, how did you cook all this that fast?" Smithy asked.

"Well, it's easier when you start it at the same time...." Luna rambled.

Gunther asked with a sneer, "Who is this maid?"

"Hello, Gunther. Everyone else calls me Luna. It's a nice day out, isn't it?" Luna replied sarcastically.

Gunther replied promptly, "Why, yes, it is, Luna."

"Well, lets eat!" Jester attempted to pull away the tension.

"What about little old me?" Dragon asked as he flew in.

Luna said after seeing Dragon, "Caaveee chicken."

Dragon started laughing uncontrollably.

Jane asked curiously, "You aren't afraid of Dragon?"

"Why, who would be afraid of Dragon?" Luna said with a laugh.

Dragon stopped laughing at the word Dragon.

"You aren't afraid of me?" Dragon asked with a sniffle.

"Well, no, uh, yes, erm, well, here." Luna choked as she gave Dragon some cabbages.

"CABBAGES!!" Dragon exclamed as he flew off.


After the meal everyone headed back to their rooms.
Everyone felt stuffed with food.

"Here's my room." Jane said.

"Cool." Luna said.

"I'm going to bed." Jane said with a yawn.

"Okay, goodnight." Luna replied.

Jane never answered.

When Luna knew Jane was for sure asleep, Luna sprang to action. She was getting out of here.

If I remember right, there should be a loose wooden board right about..... here.

She knew all of the secret passeges by heart.

Under the board she pulled out, there was a switch. Luna pulled it.

All of a sudden, the wall started moving. It moved backwards. It was pitch black inside. She stepped in.
Wow, hes a heavy sleeper. Thats NOT going to come in handy in a battle.

Then I should go fifty paces right, ten paces left, and three paces right again. Then press a butten.

Thats what she did. When she pressed the butten, she a passage opened from below her. She slid around in the darkness.

When she stopped moving, she heard snoring.

Dragon!

"Dragon?!"

The silence hurted Luna's ears.

"Yes?!"
