Amberlocks led Nova Luna up the stairs, past her living area, and into the attic. This room would have been considerably dark and gloomy, had the country mare not taken the time to open the blinds every morning. Now Amber gave a nervous glance in the other mare's direction, and hurried to the window to close the blinds. "Well, how do ya like it, darlin'? I've been usin' it as a dressin' room, so it's got a little couch to sit on. Lucky fer you, it folds out into a bed." She had been moving numerous clothing racks out of the way, revealing that this room was quite large indeed. "So I'll show ya how to fold out the couch tonight - it's easy, so you should get it after the first time. So right now I'll leave ya to get settled. Let me know if ya need anything!" But before exiting the room, the pink mare paused in the doorway. "Do ya need anything now?"

"Well, how do ya like it, darlin'?" "It's very nice! Thanks!" Nova Luna said, noticing the mare was closing the blinds. "Thanks a lot." She added, motioning towards them. "I can't stand light. I'm nocturnal, in case you haven't guessed." She began to settle into the room as the mare started to exit. "Gee, this is sure nice! It's really great that this mare is taking all this trouble for me. (Laughs to herself) If I didn't know better, I'd think she thought I was impared in some way! The mare paused. Do you need anything now? "Oh! One thing. Will being nocturnal interfere with my job? Or maybe I could work a night shift!" Nova Luna joked.

Nocturnal. Sure. "Oh, don't you worry about a job right now, darlin!", Amber said brightly. "Still, I'm gonna be orderin' some hair scrunchies and such tonight - maybe you can help me pick somethin' out! And I have some of those fake little pony heads for practicin' on, so we can get you goin' on a stylist apprenticeship!"

"Oh! Sounds great!" Nova Luna yawned. "Do you mind if I go to bed now? I've been up all day. I really should've been sleeping..." She looked very worn out. "How do I fold out the couch?"

"Oh - ya must be right tired from all yer wanderin'! Just a sec!" Then Amberlocks reached down on one side of the couch, placed one hoof in a particular spot towards the back of the left cushion, and had it open in a flash. Unfortunately, what she'd done seemed to require explanation, and she offered none. "Ya see? Easy as catchin' glow-in-the-dark cattle at sundown! Well...it looks like the sheets are all set up, and ya can use the pillows that were on the couch to sleep on. I'll be down in the salon, or in my room down the hall, and I'll let ya know if I'm goin' out. So holler if ya need anything!" That said, the mare turned to leave and started out the door to leave, though she grabbed a trunk marked "GARDEN" on the way.
((If you want to know what that trunk thing is all about, go to the "Time for Tobe's Makeover" thread. Oh - and the Glayse/Rose thing has been updated! Happy joy!))

Nova Luna settled down into the bed, looking confused by the mare's peculiar way of speech. "Easy as catching glow in the dark.... cattle? How can cattle glow in the dark? Maybe they were painted with glow in the dark paint or something.... " She dropped off to sleep, still mumbling to herself. "Paint...... Cattle...... Zzzzzzzzz.............."
((Yeah! I know! It's great! I love the glaze/twsuari thing))

After hearing a bit of Nova's obviously delirious mumblings, Amber watched as the other mare fell asleep. Shaking her head, Amber returned to her salon downstairs.

(Ahemmm...... next morning........) Nova luna slowly sat up. She looked around her, feeling relieved that the blinds were closed. She got out of bed, puzzling over her strange dreams, which all had something to do with painting cows....... She shook off the rest of her fatigue and headed downstairs. (Cont. in salon thread)

Nova luna began to dig through a big trunk, stuffed into a corner of the room. "Let's see....." She consulted the list. "5931 scrunchies." She gazed at the pile of unused scrunchies. "This could take a while......" She began to count through the scrunchies. "1.....2.....3.....4...5........6.......7.....8....9....10......11.... What's this?" She pulled a small black stone out of the pile of scrunchies. It was carved into the shape of a small, ordinary looking pony. It did not have any markings, mane, or tail. As Novaluna held it, it began to glow. It began to slowly change. A mane grew out, and a tail formed. Markings began to slowly form themselves into the pony. Novaluna gasped. It looked just like her! The markings were the same, and the mane and tail were just the right length. "Uh, amber..... amber!" She shouted. As she shouted, the miniature pony let out a small squeak that sounded a lot like her own voice....

Amber hurried up into the attic, having heard Nova's cries. She hoped to death that the mentally unstable pony had not gotten her hands on anything sharp in her sorting. "What's wrong?", she asked. Then she spied Nova Luna's duplicate. "Oh - how'd ya come across that old thing?"

"Wha-..... what is it? Novaluna began to calm down slightly. The miniature pony let out another squeak. "Wha-.... what is it?" It sounded remarkably like her, even if its voice was a little squeaky.

"Oh - that's a ... well, I guess ya could kinda call it a dummy of sorts...", she explained matter-of-factly. "Here - I'll just go ahead and show ya!" Turning to the miniature Nova, she commanded, "Bun." Not long after the word had left her mouth, the tiny mane formed into a miniature bun. The small imitation of Nova Luna flashed a lovely smile, showing off her new look. Then she spun around slowly a few times like a model. "Ya see?" Amber talked as if it was all very simple, and something one saw every day - in fact, at some point in her carreer, she probably had seen it every day. "Hmmm...ya do look might purdy in a bun..."

Novaluna blinked and sighed with obvious relief. "Ok..... Thanks...... sorry. Ok. Mind if i go walk around for a few minutes? I need to meet new people. I promise I'll be back soon!"

"Oh - uh, sure darlin'", Amber said, but then remembered to add, "But it is a bit bright out at this time of day. And are ya sure you could find yer way back okay?"

"Oh......" Novaluna remembered how painful that bright light had been. It had burned her eyes horribly. She turned to Amber and said- "Do you have something that could maybe..... shield my eyes or something? If you do I'll be ok......"
