Author's Note

If you have't already, be sure to leave a like and push those nasty down votes to the depths of Tartarus.

On the side note, I appear to be only able to write on the weekends now that I live with my mother. Her house and her rules, I'm sorry if any of you were expecting more in less time, but I might be able to write when and while I am at school. For now, I am still struggling to find out if my move from a four block to a seven period school will allow me to keep all of my credits or I might need to redo the the whole 10th and 11th grades...T-T I hope not....

Act 1 - Chapter 4: Cococococococococo

A philosopher, I'm sad to say I can't remember their name, but they once said that the brain rambles when it is trying to figure out what exactly is your answer to your own question. I have yet to actually figure out my answer, but I do not mind.

When I lived alone or while I lived alone, I was often in my own head, screaming and shouting to the unfair world. I was a quiet screamer, always speaking my mind only to my mind because my mind is never to be heard. No one ever hears my mind because my mind is my mind, only I hear my screams...stop...

Ah, rambling again. Luna looks at me whenever I am quiet and I am afraid I have been too quiet. So I strike a conversation to get out of my mind's traps.

"So can you explain how you can create a race of bat-ponies?" I ask. "I'd like to know why we have fangs."

"The fangs were for fear." She explains. "If our enemy saw us with fangs, they'd think we're mad. Mad enemies make fearsome fighters back before my fall."

"So they're just for grabs now?"

"They make sex better for some. When a male bites a female it tends to turn them on greatly. When you bit me, I must admit, I was turned on..." She blushed at her very own words, and grabbed her heart. "You are strange, but you are learning Equestrian ways. Soon in time you will fully acclimate."

I nodded in agreement. "I hope so...At least Doughnut Joe liked me."

"He likes everypony who's a close friend of mine." Luna had a hint of sadness in her voice. "I only have a total of fifty or so ponies in my most inner circle. The Elements of Harmony included."

"Am I?"

Luna looked shocked at me. "OF COURSE! I would never choose a lover if I wouldn't plan on keeping him close to my heart that is only open to him and only him." Her shocked look turned into anger. "There are many before you who has tried taming my heart. When I only learn of their greed and lust to bed and wed me I turn them away."

Ah! There is the answer. Luna was looking for someone who harbored no ill intentions towards her. No one with greed or lust in mind, just someone who she could trust to please her. I'm sure she found at least a little lust in me, no doubt, but I was a loyal man. I only loved one at a time, and I am sure our love will live on. Our love may grow more than just short bursts of lust. Already I feel a growth between us. I am trying to maintain a even friendship between us before I mean to call her my love. For now, it is all a thoughtful ruse to get closer to her. I swear I have no ill intentions towards Luna in any way shape or form. I only mean it as a way to know why she wants me, and as a way to know her more.

I wish to know her more because it seems like she already knows me. She knows who I am, yet I don't know her. It angers me a little that my walls have been snuck through. My mind's castle has been breached without a crack or crevice to be seen. I am worried if she could be reading my mind at every moment.

Luna wraps a wing over me. "I do love you though." She says to me in a softer tone, her anger gone. "You are treating me like no other has. It makes me happy..." This his great to know. I only want her happiness, like all over the women I wanted to date. If they would have then wanted to leave me, I would be fine. I only mean to spread happiness to sad women. If Luna is looking to me as an anchor, then I am glad to keep her in place.

Although...There has been this one thought running through my head ever since we left Doughnut Joe's. He spoke about an event tonight. "Luna?" I ask her. She looks to me with a smile across her face. "What was Doughnut Joe talking about?"

She winks to me. "Maybe if you go easy on me tonight I will show you. It is an event we do every Sunday night. It is a surprise to all who joins because we never let spies aboard."

I do not understand, but I trust that she is telling the truth. If she has been doing this for a long time I do not mind it happening. It isn't my place to tell her to stop, especially since one, she's a goddess, and two I am new to this world. Although this event does pike my interest. I wonder what Luna does, and what she is talking about. I try to delve deeper into this discussion.

"I might go easy on you if you could explain what this entails." I smiled at her.

"As princess of the night it is my duty to enter the dreams of those who are having nightmares and quell them before they are demented by them. I fell by my nightmares, I wish to stop her influence in Equestria, but our little ponies are fragile. Those fifty or so ponies are a part of this event." She answered, and a smile ten miles wide grew upon her face. "We have so much fun in the dream world it is extremely comforting."

"What's the tale behind these dreams?"

"It is a construct of mine. It is a separate plane where dreamers who I allow may enter. We talk, drink, eat, and have fun."

"So a gathering?"

"An adventure that seems like a lifetime for eight hours."

"I do like adventures." I nod. "Mostly in video games, but that's only because those kinds of things could never happen."

"Yes, I believe I remember looking that over about you. You are introverted, much like I am. Our thoughts are spoken in our minds because we fear no one else will see our ways." Luna paused her walking to laugh a little. "I love so many things about you. I am glad our niece helped me search for someone."

So, does Celestia have children? Interesting... "Who's your niece?"

"Her name is Cadence. She used to be the last of her kind before her kind's empire reappeared three years ago. Then she became the queen of her empire and remains a very close ally with Equestria. She married the elder brother of Princess Twilight Sparkle who also happened to be the very filly she enjoyed foal sitting."

"Is Cadence part of your inner circle? And should I expect to meet her?"

"She is, and yes. Fair warning, she is very beautiful, but very deadly. Her magic is focused on the heart, or love. She is the Princess and Goddess of Love."

Alicorns must be seen or are goddesses. Twilight was the Goddess of Magic because she was a master at it. Luna was the Goddess of the Moon and the night sky. Celestia was Goddess of the Sun and day sky. And this Cadence was the Goddess of Love. Very powerful beings all together in one place. They all must very close if they are all in peaceful relations with one another.

"Are there any princes in this world?"

"A few, but none that you'd be interested in meeting. If you wish to meet King Shining Armor you'll see him with Cadence tonight if all goes well." I like how she keeps bringing up her punishment. It makes me smile, knowing that deep down there's a little fear inside of her. I gave her the impression that the wrath of the Irish was some big thing. While in some cases this is true, I do not think I would bring upon the true wrath. I will just fuck her until she passes out. She got me already to jump and ride her until the sunrise, now she makes me wait all day. Fuck'n dammit! SHIT! FUCK! PISS! SHIT! DAMMIT! IT HURTS SO MUCH!!!

"Are Cadence and Shining married?"

"They are after a rocky...wedding..."

"I sense a story." I raised a brow in quarry of the tale.

"Another time, we're almost to Rectangle Boutique." I snorted at the name, nearly erupting into laughter. I saw that Luna had rolled her eyes and walked on while I was grabbing my sides. Ponies were watching me, but I was laughing at how weird things were here. I could not believe some of the names I was hearing. Luna called my name. I calmed myself down and walked on after her.

Eventually we arrived at...Rectangle Boutique. I try not laughing at the name as I hear it again when we are greeted inside by the one and only Coco Palmal. I hope that isn't actually her last name because she would have the last name of a cigarette. I found out that it is her name, and swiftly felt sorry for her. I didn't voice the human term for her name, that would be very bad if she found out that her name is related to the very thing that gave our kind lung cancer.

She quickly went to work, quiet and shy, the seamstress seemed to be admiring my body. I bet she didn't think I was paying attention to her whispers of aws and ohs. I was measured fairly quickly and she bowed to Luna before running into the backroom.

"She's quick." I said stepping off the platform. Luna shrugged as we walked over to the waiting room. "Everything alright on your end? I know she was looking at me."

She nodded. "I am well, I do not enjoy others having their eyes on you."

"That means you picked right." I quoted my mom. "If other women look at ya, it means that your woman picked right. Don't let them pick wrong...(ever). Don't worry Luna. You have my word that I would never choose another. Even if my life depended on it, I would fight my way from Hell..." I...I do not know why I had said those words then, but I felt then as though I was meaning it. I was a loyal man, still am too, well now stallion. I only had two eyes, a horn, and a goddess to take care of. I only would have time to treat her well, and not any other. I wouldn't even know how to hide myself if I ever cheated, so my options are numbered to one here.

Luna smiles at my words and rests her head on my side. I brush my hoof through her starry mane. The feeling strikes me as odd, because it feels like normal hair or mane should. Yet, it also feels chilled, warm where the dots that made stars were. Maybe her mane just projected her favorite part of space she enjoyed looking at during her nights.

I actually wander off into a light sleep. I dream of Luna and I sitting in a grass lands. Luna is in between my arms and I feel a smile crawl on over my face. It feels nice having her next to me, even though it is a dream. I hear water running from a small stream, and the leaves from the large oak tree dance in the wind. The night sky is above us with the moon shining down. Its glow didn't seem to stop from the rest of the night sky from shining brighter than it.

Everything is strange in this new world. Vivid dreams, dreams where others may gather even if they are far apart, and ponies who are like humans. What is stopping me from fully accepting this all? I think of this more even during my dream and it shifts away to a large gold door. There is a key in my hoof, but the door is open. Why was it open? I look at the door before noticing a sign. It read Humanity...

Was I really willing to give up my humanity for this world? Was this a vision Luna was giving me? Was this my choice, right here and now? Was I willing to love and trust Luna?

I hear a voice speak. You are still human. You fight, you ponder your existence here and there. A two globes appear in front of me. One was earth with the moon spinning around it, the other was a planet that looked like earth, but the sun and moon were orbiting around it, Equestria. Why fight over it all? On earth, you are seen as a fool who searched for a fool's dream. You were cast out and robbed of everything you worked hard to get. Let it go of the past Angel...

Should I? I never liked earth very much. Here, I felt like new. I felt new hope rise, and I felt a new purpose! I run to the double gold doors and slam them shut. I shove the key into the lock and throw the key off to the side.

I shout in the dream. "I AM ANGEL! CASTERRRRR!!!!!!"

I snap awake to see Luna trying to get me to move from my spot. "Come on Angel! Coco has your suit ready!"

I rubbed my eyes with my hooves and yawn. "How long was I out?"

"Two hours, I was still awake when you passed out. Are you okay?"

I pause. Was I okay? I had just made a choice to forget about ever being a human. I felt stronger now knowing I wasn't fighting a battle inside me anymore. "Yes." I walked on, leaving Luna still confused. I wasn't answering yes saying that I was okay. I was saying yes, because I wanted to be with her. "Luna, we should travel a little. I want to see Equestria. My new home needs to know who I am, and I need to know it."

"I cannot just shirk from my duties Angel. I am a princess of Equestria."

"You're also a goddess who can turn a human into a pony and possibly cross dimensions!" I kiss her passionately. "Do you do anything in court? Do you even have a court? Do you find yourself board nearly every moment of your life here? Back on earth, humans had a saying. Have you found your niche? Is it here, or else where?"

"W-well...no pony wants to be up late..." Luna starts. "B-but I am a princess!"

"You also have an elder sister who has taken care of Equestria while you were away. And it isn't like you have to be here to raise the moon everyday right?"

"...No." She says. "I don't even do much in the castle aside from hearing ponies bicker about my return. I 'got in the way' or 'held court too late'... I never found my niche in this new era I don't feel belong to..."

I move in before she gets to down. "Luna...um...what's your last name?"

Luna giggles. "Everfree."

'Luna Everfree, will you help me find a niche?" I know it isn't the question she is looking for, but I want to help her. I could tell she felt lost.

"Crew?" I heard an echo of Luna's voice. "CREW!"

I snapped awake, again. I looked around and saw Luna staring down at me with a worried look in her eyes. I blinked. "What am I doing on the ground?"

Luna rolled her eyes and pulled me up. "You've been asleep for a couple hours." She commented. "I guess sitting in this place does give you the dreamy vibe huh?"

I rubbed my eyes, feeling a bit drowsy. "Y-*yawn*-yeah...Wondering when the dress was going to be finished. I guess I dozed out there."

Luna put her hoof over my head. "Did you dream well?"

I blushed and nodded. Those dreams were too real. I guess Luna wanted to send a message. "Yeah, I guess. Just me and you under the night sky."

"Maybe we should do that sometime." She tapped her hoof on her chin in thought. "Is that all you dreamed about?"

"Only thing I thought was worth remembering." I lied. I do not think I will forget the dream I had where I told Luna to step down and travel with me. I did want to see all of Equestria, I just didn't know how...

Luna looked saddened until we saw Coco walk from the doors, sweat beading down her light cream colored face. "Your suit is done sir." She gave me a bow. "Come with me please, both of you."

We walked with her through a set of double doors. Inside was a room was a pony model with a red suit with a red top hat that had a wide rim. I had a flash of Hellsing run though my head. I smiled at the suit and nodded. I really wanted to wear it.

"The fabric is made of silk on the outside and simple cotton on the inside to keep you warm on chilly nights. The hat is just a piece. I wouldn't care if you-"

"I'll take the hat too." I beamed at her, smiling widely. I put on the suit with Luna's aid with magic. I walk around the room for a minute before flashing her with a smile. "You did a great job." The suit fit wonderfully.

Coco seemed visibly better and even gave a sigh of relief. Luna waved her hoof. "It looks well on him Coco, you've done a service to the crown and will be paid in full."

She seems to take a deep bow in respect. "Oh thank you your highness!"

Luna shakes her head. "No, thank you. You're payment will arrive within a couple hours of our return to the castle. You've done a fine job today and we hope with our payment you can evolve this establishment. Have a good day and dream well." There is a power the rushes through the room that I only seem to notice. Did Luna just bless her? I looked over to Coco and she has a slight glow around her.

After we take our leave I walk slower, deep in thought once again. In this world, Equestria is a land ruled by goddesses who work to maintain peace. I am glad that they aren't rivals one bit, well maybe Celestia and Luna are...Those two have to be rivals just for being siblings. I wish I had a family larger than what it was before I left. For all I knew, I was the only child. No one else to ruin my days with my mother.

I loved my mother, I really did. She taught me how to believe that there is always a way for light to shine through darkness. That no torch could be extinguished or smothered by the foul darkness. Equestria is lit with light, blessed with magic, and so I say, great. I am glad to be in this wonderful land.

So I end with a quote from a great man known as Michael J. M.

"Magic isn't witchcraft, it is the blending of nature that is at peace with the body that wishes to move it, not control it. A mind who seeks wisdom for the sake of blessing it upon others will find their path quicker than those who wish to sell for a price. Magic knows who is right and who is wrong, and I know magic is right about who may move it from nature."
