Luna and Silhouette walked into the cafeteria after their Night Skills class. They quickly got into the line, before everyone else reached it. "I wonder what's for lunch today," Luna said. Silhouette shrugged in response. They reached the enchanted food table and each took a tray.
"There are seats over here!" Leafy called from a table near the back of the cafeteria.
"Thanks!" Luna said. She and Silhouette walked over and sat down. Luna finally got a good look at her meal. There was a cornucopia filled with a variety of fruits, including a peach, a plum, breadfruit, strawberries, a pear, and a single pomegranate seed. There was also a roasted fish and some seasoned ants on the side.
"If you won't have that fish, can I have it?" Silhouette asked.
"Sure, Sil," Luna said, but was gazing intently at a fox picking on a small dog ghost. "Have, it, I'll be right back." She got up and walked over to the fox. I recognize her, Luna thought. Her name's Cherry, and she eats like a slob. The fox looked up and narrowed her eyes at Luna. "What do you want, wolf?" She hissed.
"I want you to stop bullying this small animal." Luna looked at the dog. "It's alright." He smiled gratefully at her.
"He's dead," Cherry growled.
"Let's go," Luna said, leading away the small dog.
"What was that all about?" Silhouette asked at the table.
"Bullies. Gotta have 'em."
