The next few months passed without much happening in Ponyville save Spike hitting his Greed phase of his dragon growth and tearing apart half the town on his its mine and no one else speech to everyone surprise however he hadn't been able to touch the Enchantment store as Harry stood on the front step his horn glowing with energy as a field seemed to cover the store protecting it from the rampaging Dragon.

Also within that time Mare Do Well made her appearances and provided much fun and laugher for both Harry and Luna who had basically moved into Harry's shop at night to read over his notes and learn the language of his home land, Harry often finding her asleep or so deeply involved with one of his notes to not notice the time while staying conformable in front the large fireplace off to one side of the store at closing time a little after Midnight.

Harry still couldn’t help but laugh a little as he remembered the fun and games within the town when Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie decided to teach Rainbow Dash a lesson in humility just to get the Pegasus to stop bragging and generally be a pain in the ass with her ego.

Both he and Luna had been seating on the roof tops watching as Rainbow ran and flow all over the place trying to catch Mare Do Well the pair nearly falling over laughing at the sight of Twilight and her friends timing their runs and disappearing acts with Rainbow getting anger and anger every time one would vanish only to seemingly appear behind her.

Although Harry didn't know it at the time but later on that evening after Rainbow had agreed to tone it down on her bragging and Rarity had put the costumes in storage only to report it later on that they had been stolen, Harry not hearing of this until he had Luna show up in his store after moonrise in the Mare Do Well costume and asked him if it looked as good on her as it did on Twilight and her friends.

Of cause after admitting that she looked just as good if not better in the purple and blue costume Luna had gone off into the night with a giggle to do some helping of everyone much like Twilight and the others had done, she had kept on doing this once or twice a night sense much to Harry's amusement as it was driving the Mare Six up the wall on trying to work out who had stolen their project.

Last thing he had heard on that front was that there was now a Mare Do Well comic book that was proving to be a best seller inside of a week of it being made, this only adding to the Mare Six's complaints on trying to find out who was the new Mare Do Well.

Shacking his head at the memories Harry moved around his store pausing at the sight of Luna who was taking the night off from saving ponies around Canterlot and Ponyville, seating down in front of the fireplace reading his notes on Runes from England floating before her, the starlit night mane and tail as always flowing and rippling like water, her head slightly bowed as she read and sounded out the runic alphabet as well as talking every now and then to herself a French like accented form of English.

“Luna I'll be in the back room crafting those collars that couple wanted would you mind looking after the store while I work, prices and such are on the items and no I don't haggle, the prices are fixed just so you know.” Harry asks looking down at Luna who just blinked at him for a moment in surprise at the request but gave a nod and raised to her feet moving around to stand behind the counter her scroll she had been reading following along like a loyal puppy.

“No problem Harry but afterwards we are going to seat down and work on my English okay.” Luna states in Equestria common Harry only nodding before moving through the only other door in the building besides the front door, his workshop that also doubled as a store room for most of his stock.

Settling in to carry on her reader as very few pony's ventured out more then a few hours after sundown, Luna carried on sounding out words and even drawing a few of the simple runes in the air with her horn to learn their shape better.

Luna had only been reading for another hour when the a small bell above the open door rang thanks to a little spell to make it ring whenever someone walked in the front door even if it was open, Twilight walking into the store with a tired smile on her face as she gave a nod to Luna.

“Having a good night I hope Princess Luna, I just stopped by to see if Harry had any more notes for me to look over as well as let him know that his invited to Grand Galloping Gala that is coming up or have you already told him that?” Twilight finishes saying with a slight tilt of her head and large yawn.

“I have let him know and I believe he is going to see Ms Rarity when she opens up Carousel Boutique in the morning and get something sorted out for the evening.” Luna answers looking up from her scroll waving her head a little to float over to Twilight a number of other scrolls. “Those I have read and have made sure their aren't any mistakes spelling wise as he is still learning to write in Equestria common and makes a few mistakes ever now and then.”

“I'm sure Rarity well take good care of him, I have to say though that he is very popular with the mare's in town ever sense he stopped hiding his wings so it could be interesting to see if he goes alone to the gala,” Twilight says taking the scrolls and putting them in her saddle bag that Luna hadn't noticed before a number of other scrolls she had been reading before coming up to land on the counter before the Princess, “That is of course depending on if he hasn't already asked a certain Princess to accompany him as a data.”

“I well have you know he has not but it might be nice to spend the Gala with someone I can at lest talk to without them falling over in fright, but I'm sure one of the other mare's in town or at the gala well talk him into becoming their data.” Luna says back her eyes dropping a little in sadness at the thought of Harry who had quickly become her best friend going to something like the gala without her by his side.

Twilight just gave Luna a look before moving around to stand next to the blue Alicorn saying as she gave her a quick hug, “I can't see him taking anyone but you Princess, everyone in town knows that you are basically joined at the hips sense he started to open the shop more often and you always staying here not long after you raise the moon, it has also helped the other pony's get to know you better and not run and hide when you walk down the street.”

“What is all this talking out here? Sounds like your trying to wake the dead with all this noise, not something I recommend as all the dead do is moan grown and drool... that and try to eat you and not in a good way of eating you if you know what I mean.” Harry says entering the room having heard voices, his tone of voice seem to suggest that he had been in a case of raising the dead before and found it very dull.

“We were just talking about the coming gala and was wondering if any mare had caught your eye was all.” Twilight says giving Luna a small nag with her shoulder before turning to leave the store, “I'll just be going now as I have what I came for, have a good night Harry see you at some point tomorrow more then likely.”

Watching the younger fille leave the shop Luna couldn't help but give a small smile before turning to face Harry her eyes locking with his for a moment before she took a deep breath and stepped towards her head held high as she says in her soft tone yet also as formal as she could sound without going Royal Canterlot voiced.

“Milord Night-sky would you accept the honour of being my partner for the up coming Gala at Canterlot?” Luna finished with a small bow of the head but otherwise kept eye contact with Harry who's eyes had widened a little in surprise at the request but otherwise he don't show any other signs of being surprised.

“You know on my world its the guys who ask the girls out but I think I'll let it slide this one time.” Harry says after a few moments to think on her request and to also get his thoughts in order after her sudden question, “Princess Luna I would be honoured to escort you to the Gala.”

Luna fought down the erg to jump around like Pinkie Pie when she meets a new pony at Harry saying yes to taking her to the gala, shacking her head and promising herself to have that jump around later in the palace, Luna gave a nod of the head to Harry stepping closer to him and ever so lightly kissed him just below his horn.

“Then I look forward to meeting you within the main entry hall, until then I think I'll remain in the palace to make ready for the day as it is only a few weeks off.” Luna says turning and walking rather slowly towards the main door a extra swing of her tail being all Harry needed to see to know that she was very happy with herself at the moment.

“Little minx.” Harry muttered to himself taking up his post at the counter leaving the work he was doing for later when he closed the shop, that had been one thing that Luna and the wilder of the Elements of Harmony had managed to do and that was change Harry's opening hours now the store opened at a little after midday ever day and closed a little after midnight ever night.

00000000000000000000000

The next day was bright and as always Ponyville was full of life and activity, what little cloud cover their was was quickly taken away by a fly by of the Pegasus, it was this calm that greeted Harry as he entered the town his ebony wings giving a flew flaps as he landed on the edge of town after flying out of the Everfree Forest.

Turning his head from side to side Harry gave a nod of greeting some of the pony's who had paused on his arrival, turning in one smooth move he started to slowly walk up the street his eyes fix on Rarity's Boutique as he needed to get something a little more formal for his evening with Luna in a few weeks time and as much as he hated the thought of spending hours under Rarity's care he know that she was his best chance for getting something that would match with Luna evening gown she had more then likely had made by now.

He was only a little why from the Boutique when he walked in front of Sugarcube Corner coming to a stop for a moment Harry looked at the gingerbread looking shop before giving a nod and entered the store, nimble dancing around the twins Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake as he entered fully ducking his head to avoid the low flying foal his horn giving off a glow a moment later as Pound Cake suddenly found himself flying only a few inches off the ground and not at the insane speeds he shouldn't be flying at his age.

“That should keep you out of trouble and make it easier for your parents to keep you in line little guy.” Harry says with a small smile at the look that Pound Cake was giving him, stepping around the pair he walked up to the main counter nodding his head to Mrs. Cake. “Morning Mrs. Cake any chance of a half dozen of your special cupcakes as I have a appointment with Rarity soon and I thought I would offer something that would hopefully be enough of a peace offering to get what I want and not what she wants.”

“Is a half dozen going to be enough for her to let you have a say in the design of your suit?” Mrs. Cake says with a smile as she carefully puts a half dozen green frosted cupcakes into a box one hoof shooting out to pull little Pumpkin Cake back from the kitchen doorway.

“More then likely not but a guy could dream can't he?” Harry says with a laugh taking the box carefully and placed it on his back between his wings a number of coins floating up from a small pouch on a chain around his neck coming to rest on the counter.

“That is all you can hope for deary, also I have to ask before anyone else does but is what Gabby Gums says in the Foal Free Press true, that Princess Luna is seeing you as her special someone and that you invited her to be your data for the Gala? Their was also a few other things mentioned but not something I would talk about in well mannered company.”

“What was that? Princess Luna and I are not seeing each other yes but nothing romantic yet, also I am to much of a gentlemen to talk about her privet life or my own like that let along to a newspaper run by foal's.” Harry says turning his head enough to look over his flanks the narrowing of his eyes telling Mrs. Cake all she needed to know on what he thought of that particular little gossip column.

“I'll be sure to let my other customers know that and try to cut down on the rumours around town before Princess Luna finds out... she was scary enough on Nightmare Night don't need her turning the town into ash on us.”

“Might be a good idea.” Harry says leaving the store making a note of the three Cutie Mark Crusaders looking rather proud of themselves walking by all of them pausing at everyone who had a copy of the Foal Free Press.

'Ah why do I have a feeling that you three are behind our unknown Gabby Gums... oh well they’ll work out that they are causing trouble and hopefully learn a lesson from it.' Harry thought to himself while moving down the street giving a nod of greeting to anyone he passed.

Arriving at Carousel Boutique without any problems save the odd Mare asking if the rumours were true about him and Luna which he quickly set straight that they were just friends at the moment and no she wasn't with Foal and he was the father... that one nearly had him ready to go to the school and fry the edited of the paper for even considering allowing that story at all, he would pity the foal though when Luna found out and made her opinion know to the whole town.

“Harry darling what a lovely surprise, what can Carousel Boutique offer you this fine morning?” Rarity asks with a smile as Harry enters her Boutique her smile only growing as Harry moved the box of cupcakes from his back to before her.

“If you accept those cupcakes you agree to not do a outfit that is going to outshine my data to the Gala coming up... deal?” Harry says with a smile as he walks over to look over one of the racks of cloths that Rarity always had set up to one side for possible customers who didn't want a custom made outfit.

Rarity just looked at Harry for a moment before giving a laugh and nods her head moving over to her small workstation off to one side on the main floor saying as a measuring tape rose up, her working glasses floating up to rest on her nose as well along with a pad and pen.

“Agreed darling and now let me just get your measurements before we start to create something that well have all the mares drooling over you.” Rarity finished saying guiding Harry to stand before a wall of mirrors and started to look over his pure ebony coat and mane trying to work out what she could use.

A hour later Harry looked at himself in the mirror as he took in the sight of him in a white ruffled shirt with a black vest over the top of that the vest having a fine deep red scroll work woven through the front part with a simple black belt with a silver buckle and some more of the red scroll work stitched into the belt leather.

“You look good darling, if you give me a few days to get everything together and make some miner modification you well be stunning and I can grantee you that Princess Luna well want only you by her side all night long, no matter who approaches her.” Rarity says circling Harry slowly moving cloth if it didn't seem to be setting right by her standards or in some cases pinning it down to fit his chest better.

“Just as long as you don't add jewels to the outfit I'll be happy Rarity...” Harry was cut off by a over powering voice sounding from just over head both of them rushing to the window while listening to Luna's voice bellow in the Royal Canterlot voice.

“I DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH THIS GABBY GUMS WITHIN THE HOUR PONY'S OF PONYVILLE FAIL TO DO SO WELL RESULT IN MY GREAT DISPLEASURE AND PUNISHMENT ON YOUR TOWN, BRING THIS FOUL TO THE ENCHANTMENT STORE WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OR MY PROMISE OF PUNISHMENT WILL COME TRUE!”

“Why on all of Equestria is she using my store as the meeting point? Why can't she loose her temper in the town hall or even the library? Just anywhere but my store.” Harry says not paying Rarity any mind as she started to left his outfit from his body and onto a near by manikin.

“I don't know Harry but maybe you should get to your store fast and see if you can calm her down a little before she does something that she'll regret later to who ever Gabby Gums is.” Rarity says giving a wave of a hoof for Harry to leave shouting out that his outfit would be ready in a few days and that he should come and see her then as he leaves her store.

Not pausing to look at all of the parents rushing to the school to fine out which one of their children were responsible for brining Princess Luna down on the town in such force, Harry ran by everyone every now and then when he came across something blocking the main road way he would vanish in a cloud of dark purple and black smoke only to reappear on the other side of said blockage.

Arriving at his store Harry paused at the sight of Luna laid out calmly on a number of throw pillows that she had summoned from the surrounding houses a glass of water hoovering before her as she drank slowly her eyes holding a spark of amusement at the chaos she had caused, her eyes did brighten however on seeing Harry coming up the street not even really pausing as he came next to her a nod of the head to two of her personal guards being all he needed to get by them to stand at her side.

“Was it really necessary to scar everyone in town with those words Luna? I swear I saw no less then half a dozen parents on a mad rush to the school to find out if their foal is this Gabby Gums.” Harry states kneeling down next to Luna giving a nod of thanks when she levitated a second glass of water up for him to drink.

“Not really but it got them all moving and be thankful it wasn't Celestia for yesterdays article, she only laughed it off and went about her work, when she read I suddenly seemed to have a special pony in my life and that she was going to be a aunt for some reason she nearly tore down here to find them and send them off to the royal jail, that and see to it you wouldn't be able to father any foals ever again.”

“You did talk her down didn't you?”

“Of course I did so don't worry you well still be able to have fouls with some lucky mare at some point in the future but you are coming to dinner at some point soon as Celestia still wants to have words with you about seeing me in privet and possible dating me.” Luna finished with a carefree smile at Harry's nerves look at the thought of getting the threatening talk from Celestia who was considered the most powerful pony in the world magical wise. “I'm sure everything well be fine.”

“You promise to protect me from your sister?” Harry almost whimpered playfully as he lay down fully next to Luna looking down the street to see Mr. Rich marching down the street with his daughter being pushed before him, it was however the sight of the Cutie Mark Crusaders slowly walking forward from a side street caught his eyes quickly as all three looked to be feeling very guilty and were very nervous as they neared Luna and his side.

“Always my dear Harry, always, now then lets see who are dear Gabby Gums is.” Luna says as Mr. Rich pushed Diamond Tiara forward.

“You tell the Princess who Gabby Gums is this minute young fella and then you can get back to the school and pack up your desk as it is clear you are not ready for that sort of responsibility, you should never have allowed half of those stories to be printed.” Filthy Rich says looked down at his daughter with a disappointed look before turning to face Luna fully and blowing deeply to her.

Luna gave a nod to Mr. Rich before looking down at the pink foul who seemed to by trying to back up without any of the adults spotting her, the sight of the all ebony black Alicorn next to Luna not helping her nerves as little was known about Harry Night-sky only that he had resonantly come forward as the first new and unknown Alicorn in a few decades.

“Well little one are you going to tell me who Gabby Gums is or am I going to have to awaken Nightmare Moon and have her feed on you?” Luna says tapping her magic a little to make a almost double image of herself appear standing over her body this double however looked like Nightmare Moon and it was hissing threateningly at Diamond Tiara.

“Its the three blank flanks! They are Gabby Gums.” Diamond screams moving quickly to hid behind her father from the image just about everyone else backing up a few steps at the image, her fear didn't lesson however as Luna looked at her with narrowed eyes at the blank flanks comment.

“I'll deal with you in a moment little Foul, but do know that if I ever hear you say those words to describe someone I'll see to it that your cutie mark vanishes, you three over here now and explain yourselves.” Luna finishes snapping off looking over at the three Crusaders who were currently trying to hid behind Applejack and Rarity who had shown up in the last few minutes.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle all stepped forward slowly feeling their sisters in Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's case only a step behind them, Scootaloo's parents only a few steps behind her. Luna looked at the three foals before her for a moment before saying while getting to her feet.

“So then my dear little Crusaders who would like to tell me why you have been printing gossip and presenting it as fact within your schools newspaper? And also why you decided to join the paper to begin with might be nice.” Luna says slowly walking around the three fouls who were now standing a little away from their parents or sisters.

“We didn't mean to write such things Princess Luna it was just that our first story was so good that Diamond Tiara kept pushing use to write more stories like that one, and after a while we just sort of made up some things to keep her happy as well as stay within the school newspaper... we tried quieting not to long ago and she threatened to print embarrassing photos of all three of use in the paper.” Apple Bloom says softly bowing her head as did her two friends. “As to joining the paper we thought we might gain our Cutie Marks if we become journalese.”

Luna looked the three over for a moment before moving to stand in front of them a glow of magic coming over her horn for a moment before all three found themselves a deep shade of green their manes changing to a swamp green which then changed to another shade of green, the colour circling through a wide range greens, they eyes remaining the same colour however.

“You punishment for spreading lies is to remain that colour for a week my dear subjects after the week is up you are to come to Canterlot and see me about working out what your Cutie Marks are as well as work at the palace a little to finish your punishment.” Luna finished saying with a small smile to the three before turning her head to look at Diamond Tiara her eyes narrowing a little but didn't seem to hold any hatred for the young foal only a slight anger for letting the power go to her head.

“As for you Diamond Tiara you are hear by banded from all school activities and management posts within the school for the rest of the school year as well being turned this lovely shade of sick green I saw long ago both you mane and coat, this is punishment for allowing such stories to be written and even forcing others to write them just to sell papers.”

Tiara screamed in shock as she turned into a very light shade of sick green running off with her father only bowing to Princess Luna in thanks for being so lenient with her compared to what Luna could have done to his daughter.

“Ah Princess we wish to apologise to you and everyone we wrote about in the paper we had planed on doing that in the coming release and were welling to take any embarrassment that might fall on our flanks for quieting the paper at the same time... we're sorry.” Sweetie Belle says her two friends echoing her apologies.

“Accepted my little pony's now run along and find something to do and I well see you in a weeks time.” Luna says with a nod of the head the three foal who quickly ran off to plan their next quest to gain their Cutie Marks not seeming to be bothered about their now green coats and manes.

Watching the three run off Harry gave a small laugh before moving to Luna's side not paying the two guards any mind as he ever so lightly kissed her neck causing the blue coated Alicorn to blush slightly before turning to face him. “Nicely done dear and let me just say I'm glade you didn't need to carry out any major threats today.”

“I aim to please my dear Harry, now I expect you to escort those three to Canterlot at the end of their week long punishment but until then don't pay them any mind unless they ask for something.” Luna says with a smile starting to walk away only to look over her flank at Harry with a spark in her eyes that hinted at how happy she was at the moment, “I'll see you tonight after moonrise my dear Night-sky for dinner and star gazing.”

“I'll make arrangements for dinner then and see you tonight Milady Moon.” Harry says back turning to open up his store a little early not paying the crowed that was still thinning out any mind, many of them looking at the display going on between Luna and Harry with a little surprise as they had never seen the pair so flirty before.
