Realizing that coming clean would be better in the long run, Moonlight said "Moonlight. My name is Moonlight." Autumn gasped and said "I don't-you must be not telling the truth. How did you get your cutie mark?!" Moonlight sighed and looked at his mark with pride, with its chain scythe wrapped around a forge. "I got it when I was playing at the castle armory. The forge master fell asleep and left the tools and metal out to be handled. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. After two hours I was still at work on the forge when the master woke up and saw me but he knew the look on my face as concentration mixed with determination. When I was done five hours had passed and the spoils were both my cutie mark and the blade that now belongs to lady Luna, Brightened Darkness."

When Moonlight was finished with his tale, he noticed two things. First he was not tied down and second, Autumn was in tears. "Moonlight!" She cried as she hugged him in a grip that would put Pinkie Pie to shame. "I missed you! Your family told me you had died that day five years ago!" Then she paused and gasped before, to Moonlights blessing, released him and looked into his eyes. What ever she saw made her start to cry again "You don't remember me, do you? And you family probably used that to keep me, a commoner. away from my best friend." Moonlight not knowing what to do he tried to comfort the mare. "Well, I can't say that I remember you or what happened five years ago, but maybe we can try to rebuild our friendship." sticking out his hoof, Moonlight said "Hi. I'm Moonlight of the 2nd lunar house. What to be friends?" Autumn smiled before having a look in her eyes that said that he did good. Taking his hoof, Autumn said "I'm Autumn Wind and I would love to be your friend."

"Wait, lady Luna is coming here, you probably ran away from a noble house, you are the craftier of her may I say amazing blade...crap. I need to find a way to get you out sooner than later. Oh and do you still have that scythe you and I made together?." Now knowing why he could summon it at will, Moonlight nodded before saying "Ventus." "Good. it would have made it harder to try to get you out and get you a weapon at the same time. Aqua. Terra." When Autumn said the last two words a bow and a quiver with seemingly thousands of arrows appeared on her. Before leaving she said "I will forge the records or try to start a riot. The records could, hopefully, make them thing we have already checked you while the riot would distract them. Ether way, it will not happen this late in the day with it being 11:00 pm but I want to know which you could handle better."
