“... and that is the story of my entire life, rated PG-13.” Johnny finished. It was mid-day and luna’s eye were wavering, obviously struggling to stay awake. Johnny walked down from the balcony into the dark room. At that moment, He noticed a familiar pain strike though his body as it was forced back into his wolfy form.

Luna wobbled back to her bed and collapsed, instantly snoring. The wolf chuckled and nudged luna into her bed. He then used the elegant blanket and covered the lunar princess. He then nudged himself under the blankets, and laid his head on the bed next to hers. A stray thought crossed his mind that made him smile. Now he know why dogs love being under blankets.

Johnny himself wasn’t tired but managed to fall asleep anyway. He would need to remind himself to tell Luna that she snores when she wakes up.

Warning! Hilarity ensues.

“AH!” A deafening sound rips though johnny’s ears, but can’t attest to the ringing as he is blasted off of the bed, straight into the balcony. Thankfully, Luna’s sleep addled mind reduced the power of the bolt. Not so thankfully, with the balcony being outside of the room, he was forced back into his human state, going through more pain than he ever had before.

“God damn it! That hurt!” He hissed, his body still finalizing the transformation.

“Johnny?! Oh my, I’m so sorry.” She appeared on the balcony and his eyes laid upon her. Instantly the pain was gone. He was once again overwhelm with an urge to bow. He even began to make the action before he stopped himself. Him momentarily ignored, Luna lit her horn and the sun disappeared and replaced on the opposite horizon with the moon, still full.

“It’s still full?! The fuck is this shit?!” At this point, his voice became warped. “By the way, you snore.” A scream of agony succeeded the transformation. He opened his eyes to see luna’s horn lit and deafening the noise to outsiders. Wait, why has his alter ego not taken control yet, it should have by now. He still felt its presence at the back of his mind. What is going on?

Her spell dropped, she levitated the wolf into her room where he was placed unceremoniously on the floor. “Now, you are to not sleep on my bed unless allowed, you will have your place on the floor and you will be quiet while I am not here. Mine, er my sister does not know about you yet but I will tell her in the morning. You are to not leave this room. There will be a maid coming in about an hour, do not let her see you. Do. You. Understand?”

A sense of fear overcame him, as he tried to shrink on the floor, an attempt to hide and look small. He understood what she told him but was too afraid to acknowledge to her that he understood. All he could do was shiver and whine. Look at him, earlier he was a cocky asshole, now he is reduced to a sniveling rat. What is wrong with him?

“I said. Do. You. Understand?” The fear made him act without thinking. He raised his head and sang a distressed howl. What made her go from sympathetic to downright abusive so quickly was beyond him. On her period maybe? Regardless, he earned a slap for his action which causing him to sprint away from her, crashing in to things around the room.

Outside, the crashes drew the attention of the attentive guards who heard the bang through the nearly soundproof door.

The door was opened. “Princess, are you alright? We heard a ruckus and wanted to be sure you are alright.”

“Your Princess is fine. Dismissed.” She said not looking at them.

The guards however remained adamant, having noticed the cowering creature within the room. “BEAST! submit peacefully or else we will have some problems.” A guard said, drawing a dagger from his side.

“GUARDS! I said you are disMISSED.” The guards tried to protest but left anyway. Right before the door closed, the wolf could see that one guard ran to go inform someone while his partner stayed to keep watch.

The princess’s stance faltered, having lost her anger toward him. “I’m sorry Johnny, The stress of the night court has been getting to me. I’d rather go back to the moon than deal with the noble cry-foals. Even the thought of that time of night can flip my mood for the worse. Please forgive me.” The princess hung her head in shame, looking down. From where Johnny was, he could see a tear drip from her muzzle and onto the lavender carpet below. Johnny’s heart broke.

He climbed out from his spot and walked up to the lunar princess. He felt sad, almost reflecting the feelings the mare was giving off in her aura. He placed a paw on her shoulder, causing her to look up at him. He then stretched forward to hug her. He embraced her, closing his eyes as he rested his head on her shoulder. He could feel the wispy cool presence of her mane. He breathed deeply, Feeling content being with the lunar goddess.

After a moment, The princess rose from the floor, there were tears dried on her cheek that the young wolf could see. He fell from her lap and onto the floor where he immediately got back up. Outside, it was still dark and he estimated he had several more hours of being trapped in his wolf body.

He heard a knock on the door, to which he responded by climbing under the royal bed as Luna opened it.

“Ah! Sister, glad to see you are well. I had heard from an on-duty guard that there was a creature in your room. While I doubt it would be able to hurt you in any way, I still worry for you.” A warm feeling overcame the wolf. It was like standing next to a fireplace after being naked in the snow for a minute.

“Tia, you know that I am capable of protecting mineself, er myself. You do not need to worry for me. As for the creature, I suppose there is no use hiding it from you as you can tell when I lie. Johnny come on out. My sister needs to see you.”

After a moment, Celestia turns to her sister. “Well, I never took you to have imaginary friends.” Under the bed, Johnny’s entire body is thoroughly warm and no limbs respond to his will. The only sound that came from him was a whimper. One that would not be heard by humans, but both ponies in the room had heard it.

Luna flies to the side of the bed and looks under, to see johnny, half transformed. Half wolf and half human. Lighting her horn, she drags the rag-doll of a body out from under the bed and lays him on her bed.

“What's wrong Johnny?” Luna whispered. Tears welling up. Celestia shook herself out of her look of shock and awe and walked forward. She places a hoof on the blue alicorn’s shoulder.

“I am not sure but I may have an idea. Is this the werepony that Twilight and her friends tried to fight?” After receiving a brief nod she continues. “I believe our very presence might be doing this. Mine in particular.”

Luna’s eyes widen in realization. “So my presence is conflicting with his form?” Her brows furrow. “But that can’t be, earlier he was standing on the balcony with me next to him. he didn't change, not even partially. If our presence is doing this, why did it not apply earlier?”

Celestia scrunches her muzzle. “I’m not sure. Perhaps since he is a werepony he is naturally attuned to your presence and not mine since my presence is of the day and he is of the night.”

“Tia!” Luna exclaims. “You’re a genius! He is not a threat and he likes me as a friend. He wouldn't hurt any pony."

"Alright little sister," The solar goddess teases. "I trust you. Just be careful." Celestia lights her horn, shutting the double door entry before teleporting presumably back to her personal quarters. Almost immediately after the goddess was gone, Johnny's body twitched again as his body quickly formed back into a wolf.

Feeling slowly returned to the canine, the overwhelming warmth seeped away. He sat up from the bed and looked around. Opening his mouth and vocalizing a strange mixture of snarls, growls and barks, He realizes he is still a canine.

Sighing in frustration he circles the bed a few times before laying down next to the pillows and exhaling loudly in a saddened sigh.

He was depressed. His mind seemed to have locked away the alter ego but it’s presence at the back of his mind still concerned him. Why was it still there? He has control of the body now, there should be no reason for it to still be a part of him. Or was there? His parent’s favorite quote was ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ Surely there is some explanation for it.

He becomes aware of his surroundings as he hears the ‘woosh!’ of Luna’s horn lighting up with magic. From his position, he cannot see the moonset but can see the sunrise.

After a moment, the magic engulfing luna’s horn dissipates and she wobbles over toward him. He jumps from the bed to avoid the large alicorn going to bed. He barks a small laugh at the sight.

What next? He would explore. Not stay in this room for the rest of his life. That is senseless. He walks to the door and slowly cracks a door open. Peaking out, he sees two male guards standing stoic next to Luna’s quarters. Down the hall, he catches a glimpse of a pony wearing what appeared to be a maid’s outfit. right, forgot.

Not wasting time, he closes the door and hides under the royal bed. A moment later the door opens. and a maid walks in. Having been told not to be seen, he remains hidden, but knowing maids, they were likely to be very thorough. A cart full of cleaning supplies rolled into the room. All of the contents of the cart seemed strange as he never recognized any of the brands. Not like he expected to though. What caught his eye was a movement by pony. She, he assumed it was a she, reached into her uniform and took out a strange vial full of glowing green liquid. Curiosity and wariness came over him. He wanted to know what the vial’s contents were and the strange action from the mare seemed out of place. Not wanting to act without knowing for sure, he stayed where he was and watched the mare.

She disappeared into the bathroom and returned a minute later, the vial empty. A very faint green glow emanated from the room. It was so faint, he almost missed it. From his hiding spot he could see the mare’s expression change from stoic to almost an evil grin. Her eyes flashed green and the smile faded as quickly as it came.

She had seen him somehow. Whatever that green flash was, it can’t be good judging by the expression the mare had in reaction to seeing him. Moving quickly, Johnny climbs out from under the bed. Giving a quick shake, he turned to the mare and growled, instinctively taking an aggressive stance. The mare did the same but smiled. The smile showed two long fangs.

This was not a pony. Whatever it is, it will not get away with... Whatever it just did.

He charged, Sprinting toward the ‘pony’. Normally, he wouldn't attack a pony but not even for a place like this, this maid was out of place. He snarled and lunged, extending both claws and colliding with the creature. Both tumbled backward into the bathroom and slammed against the counter. Shaking himself out of the daze, he lunged and closed his teeth around the mare’s neck. Crunching through the outer layer of skin this creature had, his taste buds are flooded by a strange sensation. He could see green goo coming from the wound and into his mouth. The goo forced it’’s way down his throat and almost succeeded before Johnny unclasped his jaws and spat it out.

Unknowing to him, a small amount made its way into his bowels.

The dying creature looks at the wolf and whispers it’s final words before dying. “I win.” In a brilliant burst of green light, the corpse spontaneously combusted. leaving a pile of dust laying on the floor. Looking around, he saw a plastic bottle emitting a faint green light.

Knowing that this may be a hostile substance, he make sure the bottle is closed before picking it up in his mouth and racing out of the bathroom, sliding on the ashes in his way out. Luna still laid on the bed snoring loudly and nothing seemed amiss aside from the maid cart still sitting in the corner.

He needed a way past the guards. And could possibly do it using the cart. He needed to inform the other princess of this. Positioning the cart in front of the door, he swung the door open and pushed the cart, hiding inside, under a thin sheet.

The cart rolled by the guards and stopped when it hit the wall opposite the doors. Both guards became curious and looked through the closing door to luna’s room and Johnny took that moment as his chance. He could feel his body beginning to change but forced himself to run, still holding onto the bottle of liquid. His paws turned into feet and hands, his snout returned to a human stub, fingernails and toenails became less sharp and even when his center of balance altered, he forced himself to keep running, stumbling slightly to stand up and continue running.

He was almost out of sight before he heard the guards shout after him. He didn't have time to contemplate on how exactly they planned on catching him. A cone formed in front of him. He wanted to use it to his advantage, but couldn't. He had no idea where he was going and was undoubtedly lost, still, he kept running. Eventually, he came to a large room. Bigger than Luna’s room tenfold. The room was massive and also completely empty. There were rows of pillars on either side of the room leading up to two thrones. On the throne’s backrest was a bird. A orange and red bird. One unlike any he had ever seen.

Even from across the room, a sense of dread overcame him as the bird opened its beak and cried a deafening screech. He dropped to his knees, holding his ears, blood seeping between his fingers. He didn't notice the room filling with guards. He didn't notice the large white pony approach him from behind. He didn't notice the bottle of tainted liquid drop to the ground next to him. He also didn't notice the floor rapidly approaching before darkness overcame him.

Author's Note

Please note that I do NOT plan on making this a clop story, but that does not mean there won’t be any at all. Any innuendo, unless specifically told otherwise, is simply to make fun of the other or something like that. Johnny and luna are not growing a lovers relationship. It is more like the relationship between a man and a dog. Also, incase it isn’t clear, Luna’s room forces johnny into his wolf form. While inside he will remain a wolf unless countered by a magical artifact.
