Lovers of the Night: The Emozian

        "Okay Lance. Remember how to use your old wings" asked Rainbow Dash. "We'll, sorta, yeah," responded Lance.

        "It's the same really. It's just that you can feel the wind rushing passed. Ya'"

        "Alright, so when do I get to fly?"

        "A little eager aren't you? Well, let me just say I'm the fastest flyer in Ponyville-"

        Lance suddenly to flight into the air. He was fast. Rainbow Dash flew up trying to catch up to Lance. "Hey! No one leaves me in the dust," she yelled. She soon caught up to Lance. She tried to get ahead of him, but he kept the same speed as her. "Looks like your not the fastest Pegasus," said Lance.

        "Oh yea?"

        Rainbow Dash got ahead of Lance to show him her rainbow trail. Lance had a smirk on his face. He sped up and got ahead of Rainbow Dash. He was way faster than Rainbow Dash. She couldn't catch up. Eventually they both landed. Lance was panting a bit, but Rainbow Dash was panting faster than a dog who was thirsty. "See? Told you," said Lance. "Lucky shot," said Rainbow Dash.

        "You'll get it next time. Heh heh."

        Lance put an arm around Rainbow Dash. She rolled her eyes. "Hey, I haven't talked with Princess Luna since yesterday," said Lance.

        "You can go ahead and talk to her. I'll be here if ya' wanna race again."

        "Alright."

        Lance walked away and began wandering the village. He searched everywhere. He asked around, he finally discovered Luna was sitting reading books and looking at the Emozian. "Luna," called Lance. She turned his head. "Oh, Lance, it's good to see the," she said.

        "What are you doing?"

        "Oh... Nothing. I am looking over some things..."

        Lance walked over to the books. Luna tried to cover them. Lance raised an eyebrow. He moved the other books over to see they were about fighting and defending.

        "Luna...?"

        "O-okay... I want to learn how to fight."

        Lance laughed. "Ya' know, you could've asked me. I mean, I am a Royal Guard."

        "Yes, but I'm embarrassed."

        "There's nothing wrong to fight. Even if your a female. Here I can teach you."

        Lance grabbed the Emozian and gave it to Luna. He stood in front of Luna. "Alright, this is what you do..." Lance taught her simple moves. Everything he knew.

        It had been a few hours since he had given her a few lessons. "This is what I know. Now, show me what you know," said Lance. She threw perfect swings. Lance was amazed. In a few hours she had managed to learn how to fight. "Good job Princess," said Lance. "Now you can defend yourself if I'm not there. Uh... I mean I will always be there but yeah..." Princess Luna giggled. "Thank you Lance," said Luna. She kissed him. Lance blushed.

        "Well Princess, I'll be going. Tomorrow, we leave for Canterlot."

       "I shall gather the others then."

       "Yes. Tomorrow. Tell them to meet here."

       It was the next day. Lance put on his new armor. He grabbed his sword and walked out of Fluttershy's house. He and Fluttershy walked together. "Oh, um Lance, where are we going?" she asked. "We are gathering at Twilight's. the princess and I are leaving for Canterlot," said Lance.

       "But you two can't go alone..."

       "We aren't..."

        All of them gathered in front of Twilight's house. Everyone was there. "Ready Luna?" asked Lance.

       "Yes. The others have agreed to come. Fluttershy?"

        Fluttershy responded, "Oh, if the others are going. Yes."

       "Then it's settled. Let's move out everyone. Canterlot is in need of our help!"

        As they walked away, something was watching them. It suddenly teleported teleported away. The thing teleported back to the castle. "Oh, so they are coming here now?" Said Sparking Blade. "Prepare Canterlot for their arrival. They shall never get Celestia." She was wrapped in a green ooze. She looked around, looking at what happened. "Lance shall never defeat me," said Sparking Blade. My queen and I shall be in our quarters."
