Luna's Realization
Luna's eyes were as wide as saucers as they stared at the scene right in front of her; Denise on all fours on the living room of her parents' house as two girls were riding her back and making lion noises. The two girls; Dana and Jade, an eight and six year old respectively, were having the best day of their lives as they commanded their Aunt Denise to take them to the kitchen where the "Wicked Witch" was keeping the "Damsel in distress" hostage."Are you sure the witch has Princess Bubblegum?"
