‘WHAT?’ Your voice echoes through the halls. Celestia flinches, then continues.

‘I was afraid you would react like that. Just let me explain. I will cast the same spell I did to summon you, but instead, you will be sent to the moon’ Her voice is calm and cool, as if she’s just sending you next door.

‘But, I, What? I’ll die! There’s no oxygen on the moon’ You open your mouth again to protest, but celestia cuts you off.

‘Just hear me out, okay?’ She puts a hand up to silence you. ‘I know the exact location of my sister, and that is where I will send you. When you are there, she will cast a spell which will allow you to breath in the atmosphere.’

‘And if your sister isn’t there? If she doesn’t cast the spell? Then what’

Celestia maintains her calm tone ‘It will not come to that. My sister would not allow an innocent man to die’

‘Yeah, but why not just cast the spell here? I mean, that’s a much safer option, right?’ Your breathing becomes short and sharp, your heart pumping faster than usual.

‘You do not understand, the spell adjusts your lungs to breath the atmosphere you are currently in, so casting it now would be useless.’

You rub your temples, trying to ease the thumping in your head. ‘And then what? She just let’s me in? Food? Shelter? How do we get any of that?’

‘Well, my sister can use magic as well so’

‘Wait, what do you mean “as well”?’ You cut her off before she can finish her sentence. Instead of speaking, Celestia huffs. Her horn starts to glow a bright yellow, and you are enveloped in the same colour. You start to float upwards, and you guess it is a result of Celestia’s magic ‘Hey, HEY! What the hell! Put me down!’

‘You see? Levitation is one of many powers us unicorns, and alicorns, have.’ Celestia states matter of factly. You start to float gently back down into your seat. ‘Anyway, as I was saying. Luna can summon food, and blankets. Or, to make it easier, you can share a blanket’ Celestia grins when your cheeks start to turn crimson

‘I, I, I still dont under.. understand what my purpose is for her.’ You stutter, trying to regain your former cheek colour.

‘Oh my stars, you’re not the smartest of your race are you’ Celestia groans. You protest, but again Celestia silences you ‘Well. You may not be the smartest, but you certainly are quite a handsome fellow. You will serve as company to keep her happy, and perhaps be a mate’ This time the comment does not make you blush. You’re good with women. Once you get used to the fact that they’re a completely different race.

‘Okay okay okay. I get it. Keep her happy, etc. And I live on the moon for the rest of my life. Doesn’t really seem fair to me does it?’

Celestia’s eyebrows rise ‘No no no, I’m not sending you for the rest of your life! I will keep in touch with you through letters, and once my sister is happy and reverted back to normal, I will bring you both back to live here again’ She smiles at you. And for once, you relax.

Huh, Maybe this wont be so bad after all. You smile back at Celestia, and finally, it is not forced. ‘Alright then. Cast that spell and let’s get going’

‘My. You seem awfully happy all of a sudden.’

‘Yeah well. You were right. I may not have my previous life, but there’s a whole new one ahead of me’

‘That’s the spirit! Oh and one last thing. My sister has dark blue fur, and is also an Alicorn. Not quite as pretty as me’ Upon saying this, Celestia puffs her chest outwards, showing off her curves. ‘but still a beautiful mare nonetheless. Oh what am I thinking! She’s the only other pony on the moon. Stupid Celestia’ You grin as she tells herself off.

‘Well Celestia, it’s been nice meeting you.’ You extend a hand, but Celestia brings you in for a hug.

‘Not exactly a princess-like thing to do, but I feel you deserve it. Do take care of her, I really want dearest Luna back on the throne with me’ Celestia steps backwards, and closes her eyes. You stand there as once again, her horn glows yellow, and the same portal opens in front of you. You step forward, reaching out for it. ‘I’ll send a letter as soon as possible!’ You smile as Celestia calls out to you.

‘Oh, and Celestia? I’m sorry, about earlier’ You smile at her, then step into the portal. However, this time you do not black out. You are tossed about in a wormhole like tunnel, and spat out on the other side.

You look around, taking in your surroundings. My god she wasn’t joking. I’m on the moon. Your amazement is soon replaced with panic as your lungs start to tense and you suck in nothing. Shit, shit shit shit shit. You hear footsteps and a figure appears from the darkness.

‘He.... Help, please.’ You barely manage to form a sentence. A spark runs through your body, and your lungs start to fill up again. You kneel on the floor, panting and trying to recover your breath. ‘Thank you’ You try to look up and face your saviour, but you find you cannot. You cannot move anything.

‘So. Why, exactly, are you here on my moon?’ The voice is feminine, calm, like an angel. A moon angel. ‘Have you been sent to kill me. To put me out of my misery in this lonely life I live?’

You strain your neck trying to look up, but you are still immobilized ‘Celestia sent me!’

‘Really? So you are here to kill me’ You feel your muscles start to burn and you start to cramp

‘Nonononononono. Uh, your sister is Celestia yes? She sent me to keep you company. Uh, uh, something about making you happy, and she wants to bring us back when you are, um, uh, normal, ore something. Please just let me go!’ You plead with your attacker.

The same sensation jolts through you body and you can move again. You stretch your muscles, and turn to look at whoever did that.

‘Hello. I am Princess Luna’
