Chapter 2
New faces, Doctors Orders
Princess Luna P.O.V
"Princess Luna." a doctor said, "Are you alright?" "Yes Doctor, I am fine. However he is not." I replied, gesturing to the stallion I held in my magic. "Oh my," the doctor commented, seeing his injuries. "We will take care of him right away your Majesty. If you like, you can stay in the waiting room until we have stabilized him." "I think I will. Thank you." It was then that the captain returned. "Ma'am," he reported, " The wreckage has been cleared and your sister has been notified. She wishes to inform you that she will be here soon." "Thank you captain. Go get yourself some rest." The captain thanked me and I was left with only my thoughts to keep me company. I wonder just who he is. He's kinda cute though. Startled at that sudden and strange thought, I turned my attention to the observation window. There where the doctors and nurses, removing shrapnel, straightening bones, and stitching shut cuts and scrapes.
"Luna, there you are." Celestia says as she walks in. I notice the dark rims under her eyes, and can't help but to feel bad for waking her. "What is it dear sister?" she continues. Motening my head to the window, she steps forward and gasps at the sight of our new visitors condition. "Who is he?" she quirries. "I don't know. He crashed in the courtyard along with a comet made of metal. It must have hit him due to the broken wing and the light searing on him." I reply. " Where is this comet?" "I ordered the guards to take it to the vaults. I thought it best to hide the details of his arrival." "Good idea Luna. No-" "We have stabilized him your Majesties. He should be awake by now." the doctors interrupted. Mildly annoyed at the interruption, but gladdend at the news, I thanked them, and Celestia and I walked inside.
Unknown Alicorns P.O.V.
The area around me is dark, with shapes moving around me. I faintly hear sounds, as if their talking. I feel a faint sting on my side, and my back hurts alot. Then, the world around me brightens up, and I wake.
"W-Where am I?" I question, but nopony is there to answer. I see that I am in a white room filled with heart monitors, x-rays, and medical tools and supplies of every kind. I am laying in a clean, white bed with I.V. tubes in my legs. I am in a hospital. I think. But where is the staff? Suddenly, a door which I had yet to notice opens, and two beautiful alicorn mares walk in. My focus goes straight to the darker one for some reason. She's beautiful, with dark blue fur, blue mane and tail, and violet eyes. There's even small sparkles in her hair that look like stars. She literally looks like the embodiment of night sky. I suddenly realize something. Its her, Luna. My mind goes haywire, realizing, that i've finally found her. After all my years of searching. I wonder if she remembers me. Let's see if she does, if she doesn't, i'll wait for the right time. Before I can turn my attention to the other one, she speaks with a voice as smooth as silk. Just like I remember.
Princess Luna's P.O.V.
"Ah, good your awake." I say as I sees our guest sitting upright in bed. He looks so familiar, my mind speaks up. I feel a small blush creep up my cheeks as I see him looking at me. "Yes, it appears that I am." he says rather jovially. "Are you in any pain sir?" my sister asks. "No, i'm fine miss?" "I am Princess Celestia of Equestria. This is my sister, Princess Luna." I faintly hear him say "Luna. What a beautiful name." Another blush creeps up. He then clears his throat, and says "My name is Moonlight Shadow. You can call me Shadow for short. It is nice to meet you both. Now, may I inquire where I am?" "You do not know?" I ask. "You are in our capital city of Canterlot. I found you laying in our courtyard with a broken wing and a large gash in your side." "Well, thanks for saving me." he says, "So, when can I leave the hospital?" "The doctors say that your stable for now. I imagine you will be able to leave in the next few days. If you wish, I could visit you so you won't be so lonely." I say, wondering just why I felt the need to be near him. "That would be nice, thank you." he says. YAY! My mind screams. I notice my sister shooting me a sidelong glance. "Well Shadow, we will need to be going now. It was nice to meet you." my sister says. As we walk towards the throne room, my sister speaks "Well?" "Well what?" I reply confused. "I saw the way you were looking at him. You like him don't you." "I barely know him." I protest. "Then why were you so excited when he accepted your offer?" "Umm." "Just so you know, I approve. He seems like a nice genlepony." I stand there in shock as my sister walks away, chuckling. Maybe she's right. Mabey I do like him. Sighing, I turn back and walk towards my room, for the sun is now rising. I can only hope he likes me as well. But why does he look so familiar?
