First NightView OnlineThe Nightmare That Came From AboveFirst NightAuthor's Note Behold! The over use of the letter w!!!! Also, I've had people asking why isn't discord the strongest? Well, di Discord make one battle last a thousand years? And Sombra? Beaten by fucking SPIKE! Chrysalis is pretty bad ass, but her army of lings did nothing to slow the mane 6 down really. So in my opinion, Nightmare Moon is the strongest! First Night "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," screamed Nightmare moon. Her once confident and evil manner, changed to that of pure terror while the illuminating beam of rainbow colored energy slammed down upon her, enveloping her within its magic. Pain was all the villianous mare felt as she felt herself being torn away from the body of her host; Princess Luna. Her screams of pain faded out like an echo throughout the room as her body dissipated into nothing. With whatever little fight she had left, she clung to Luna, knowing it was futile, and soon she was gone. It was finally over. After a thousand years, Luna had finally been freed from the evils that had consumed her, as she now lay on the cold tiled floor. What about Nightmare Moon? The blast of the most powerful magic to exist, exiled the broken mare back to space from whence she came. She was left a mere glimmer of life, unconscious, barely breathing. ***** "Darn it, Goldie! Give me back my hat! I can't go out there without my hat!" I yelled as I chased my golden retriever throught the hose, trying desperately to get my hat back. The pup was unrelenting in returning it to me, thus leaving me helpless in chasing her through the house. Everytime I thought I had her ,she'd just slip through my defenses. My defenses being my legs in which she'd run between to get around me. It wasn't until after ten minutes or so of running through the entire house, and the loss of breath she returned it to me. I sit panting much like a dog, ignoring the irony of it, as I tried to fill my burning lungs with oxygen. The back of my throat was sore, dry and raspy, which felt rather uncomfortable in my opinion. Goldie lay on her back with her front paws close to her chest, expecting a belly rub after she nearly killed me. With a rll of my eyes I knelt down, running my hand up and down her abdomen. She panted heavily with her tongue sticking out of her mouth, drips of her slobber dripping onto the white carpet. I couldn't help but smile since she was still young, close to reaching her full hieght. In a sudden instant, Goldie jumped to all fours and onto the couch where she began barking out the window. "Silly girl. What are you barking at besides the trees?" I asked, curious to see what could be out there. High in the sky was what looked like a comet, moving fast and descending rapidly in the distance. It's illuminating light filled the room, blinding me slightly as it appeared to be coming closer, and closer. I had to wince my eyes, shielding them with an arm to see, while Goldie kept barking. I watched as it came to crash withen the trees with a bright flash, blinding me inits white light. I heard Goldie barking still as she darted down the hall. "Goldie, get back here!" I called out to her. I sighed as I would have to bring the chasing outside of the house, late at night, and blinded. The sound of her doggie door opening and closing is what told me she had ran outisde. I blinked several times as an attempt to regain my ability to see, which was a slow, but profitable process. "Goldie!" I called out again. Her barking became more faint as she ran off for the trees, obviously in the direction which the comet crashed. Finally I could see again, and once again I gave chase after my dog. Through the trees and underbrush I went, hardly being able to keep up with Goldie, who's barking became finter and fainter. At least the full moon gave enough light to make out genreral shapes of trees, rocks and logs along the way. The tall and leaveless trees, and snow on the ground (or what little of it) made me feel as if I were in Undertale, but sadly, the punny Sans won't be showing his face. Even if he was here, there still wouldn't be a face to be shown! Me and my puns, I'm such a bonehead. I rolled my eyes at my unusual humerous antics, as I continued to run. Not too long later, I finally arrived at the crash site of the comet. Trees were blown down, and sizzling smoke as well as the whimpering of Goldie were what I hear as I approached. In the center of it all there was a large area where the snow had been melted, thirty feet in length I'm guessing, exposing the dirt beneath it. Goldie lay curled up round something, whimpering as she licked the object. "Goldie! Get away from there!" I scolded. Being the loyal dog she was, she sauntered over to me with her head low. I moved forward towards the object. In hat little light there was, I couldn't make it out. I knelt down by it, and ulled my phone from my pocket. I turned the camera and began to examine the object. My findings left me dizzy and light headed, giving the possibility oh suddenly losing my sanity. Before me lay a bruised and slightly breathing Nightmare Moon. Only...she's a filly. I blinked several times, rubbing them, pinching myself, and slapping myself, thinking this has to be a dream, but her body remained. She was unconscious, breathing slowly, and I was left with a choice. Leave her, or take her. Being a brony, I knew pretty much all there needed to be known about the show. Even little things like the fact the voice actor for Derpy does Luna as well, and whenerv there were a crowd of ponies, I would pause the film, and count all the Lyra's. I knew how Discord was beaten sitting in a chair, Sombra by Spike, Chrysalis ran, and Nightmare Moon by the mane six. There were other rivals and antgonists like Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon, Lightning Dust, Sunset Shimmer, other Twilight, and the Dazzlings. But none of them were as powerful as Nightmare Moon, and now she lay right here, living and breathing. Being a pony made me want to scoop her u and give her loving cuddles, but it so happens to be that thi spony was a ruthless villian, which made me think otherwise. I had clenched my fists, hoping to release some stress from the premise of the current situation I here find myself being involved in. Slowly and shakidly I reached a hand out to touch the filly, heat radiating from her body due to the crash. Even for an almost unstopable being, a crash like that should have left her dead on impact, let alone sliding a good thirty feet, and now on a very temperature. My hand made contact with her warm body, of which still adorned her metal armour, that somehow formed itself to fit her much smaller body. My breathing accelerated as I contemplated bringing her home. I wasn't the kind of guy to let somebody die, whether it was a person, an animal, or in some cases, even instects. Nightmare Moon was a whole different ball game. What if he were to try and take over Earth!? Tears welled up in my eyes as many thoughts raced through my head at speeds I couldn't imagine possible. I slowed my breathing to try and put my mind at ease, so I could think more clearly. The filly before me would be a surprise to survive the night if I leave her here, but what would that make me? I'd be just as bad as her. She tormented and frightened, but she never killed a single life. Maybe there's a way I could show her another way besides taking over? I let out a sigh as I made my deciion. Slowly an carefully, i lifted Moon into my arms and began walking home, but at a rather fast pace. The black filly lay unconscious still, unmoving and hardly breathing. As of now, her life depends on me to help her survive. Cal me crazy, but I will not let myself be accountable o somebody's death. Even Nightmare Moon's. Back at the house I had just finished dressing Moon with bandages, and an icepack over her head. She was still asleep, and now lay on my bed, with Goldie watching after her. I sat out on the couch, asking myself what the hell I just did. I took in Nightmare Moon of all ponies, the true god of power and destruction since even Celestia in Solar Flare form I think it was stood no chance. The miasma swallowed Luna up, and thus, the filly in my bed was born. Right now, I only fear when she might wake up. I sure hope she doesn't kill me. I let out a heavy sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose in my fingers. I couldn't help but think of the "My Little Dashie" movie, how cute and lovey dovey it was up until the end. I don't think this is goung to go anything like that. I bet the first thing she's gonna do when she wakes is blast a hole in a wall or something. I ought to go check on her. With a small heave, I lifted myself from the couch and made my way up the stairs, stopping only to frown at the picture of my parents. My mom I never knew, since she died giving birth to me due to bloodloss from having a c-section. My dad has been an emotional reck all his life since then, which meant he couldn't take care of me, and I had been put in foster care. It was a hard first ten or so years of my life, but I managed. I took in a deep breath as I opened the door and entered my room where Moon Lay on her back, sleeping peacefully. I had taken her armour off when I bandaged her, and even cleaned it for her. Her armour now sat on the nightstand next to my bed. I have to say, for a villian, Moon is rather adorable as a filly, which enticed a small smile to form upon my lips. Goldie lay next to Moon, licking her cheek now and again, showing she really cared. She doesn't know about Moon's origins. the only thing she knows is that she's hurt and has devoted herself to care for the filly. I sat down on the bed, wondering how I should go about taking care of Moon. All I know of her is that she's evil and wanted to rule Equestria in a never night. But how she is as a person, what she likes, doesn't like are mostly unknown. What does she prefer to eat? How can I possibly get along with her enough to not want to kill me? Guess I shall have to find out later. Slowly I reached for the icepack upon her head since it was probably warm as of now. I kept my breathing slow and silent as I inched closer, and closer to the pack, beads of sweat rolling down my face. I made contact. Her eyes shot open. She studdied my arm as I suddenly found myself frozen in place. Her eyes followed my arm, up to my face. "Who awre yo-" Moon began, but stopped short for some reason. She then gazed upon her body with wide eyes. Immediately I drew my arm back, stilling a giggle as the icepack fell from her head. "I'M A FIWWY!?!?" she shouted, scaring Goldie who retreated to my side. In an instant, she jumped to all fours glaring at me. "You did this, didn't you!?" She hisses, her slitted eyes slightly glowing. My lip quivered as I tried to form words but got only as much as a stutter. "Who are you, where am I and why did you do this to me!?" Moon roared, using the royal Canterlot voice, which resulted in me stumbling back and falling to my bum against the wall. I watched as the tip of her horn began to glow a light teal color, filling the dark room with a dim light. "I...I-I I am Jacob Hemmings, a-and you're currently in m-my home...My dog found you like that in the woods!" I choked out. "I...i took you in...and patched up your cuts...f-from what I could tell, you wouldn't have survived the night out there..." "Lies! Do you know who I am, peasant!? I am Nightmawe moon, wuler of Equestira and queen of the night!" She declared, flaring her wings, cackling viciously. She smirked at me. "Die!" She gave a sly smile as she shot a blue beam of energy at me, hitting me in the chest before I could react. I only had time to close my eyes in preperation for the impact. It gave a small shock, coursing through my body. I've felt what it's like to be shot by a tazer, since I volunteered one time to let the police force test a new tazer on me for fifty bucks. Moon's beam I assume was meant to kill me was only a fraction of the power of said tazer. I was confused by this, feeling unharmed except for a small shock that was over rather quickly. I looked up angrily at Moon, who had begun to stumble. The second she fell forward,I leapt forward to catch her in my arms before she fell from the bed. I let out a sigh as she landed on her back in my arms. She looked up at me, confused just as much as I was. "Th-that was supposed to bwow you into a miwwion pieces...how did you stop it?" Moon asked tiredly with half lidded eyes. I let out a soft sigh. "You're weak, okay? What i told you was the truth. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead, so instead of trying to kill me, you should be thanking me." I replied bluntly. Nightmare Moon scoffed in response. "Save me your pitiful whimpewing, for I am in no mood for it." "Well, Mrs. Fails a Lot," I began hysterically, for a dramatic impule in a funny way. "I'm not in th emood to be saving somepony's life, only for said pony to be homicidal to me." I smirked as I stood, still holding Moon in my arms who growled at me. "I'd hit you squawe in the face right now...but I'm too weak. The least you could do is put me down," she whined, looking away. I chuckled slightly. "Don't worry, I'll put you down." I said in a sly tone as I approached the back door, opening it. "Right out here, where you can scamper off, and try to find some sort of other shelter." "Wait! You can't do this to me!" I smiled at her as I closed the door. I turned around to see Goldie standing there wagging her tail. "Let me in or I'll bwow your houwse up!" Moon yelled through the door, knocking on it. "Funny, how you could barely shock me!" Silence. "You still there?" I asked, and I could swear to go, I heard a small sniffle. "C-can I come back in? I...I'm sorry! It's cold out here, and I can hawdly stand...I can't make it ouwt here on my own! Pwease let me in!" I smiled, opening the door. "That's all I wanted to hear." She glared up at me. "You're mean!" "I try," I chuckled as I lifted her up again. "Now, may I try to change your icepack without being shot at?" "Fine, but once I get my powers back, I'm bwasting you." She crossed her forelegs as i grabbed another icepack from the freezer part of the refrigerator in the kitchen. I simply rolled my eyes. "Unless you want me to leave you out there again, I suggest you quit the life threats. Moon stayed quiet as I wrapped the icepack in a towel and placed it on her head. "Now, its late and I need to go to bed for work tomorrow." I yawned as I once again went up the stairs, and into the guest bedroom witn only a bed in it, since I live alone, and is there for anybody who stays the night. "I can tell this isn't going to be fun or easy." Moon deadpanned, giving off a soft yawn as well as I laid her down and covered her with the blankets. "At least that's once thign we can agree on." i smirkd as I placed the icepack on her head. I turned about to leave until, "Can you weave the wight on for me? Like a nightwight?" Moon asked with pleading eyes. I let out a long sigh. "You, the queen of the night doesn't like the dark?" She shook her head blushing beet red. "I just don't like it when it's pitch black..." I facepalmed. "Alright. I'll leave the hall light on since i don't have a nightlight, and I'll leave your door a bit open." I replied as I began to leave the room. "And thanks for saving my life. I won't try to kill you as much..." I gave a roll of my eyes. "Whatever works for you, your majesty," I laughed a bit hysterically, shutting off the light as I left the room. With sleep quickly creeping up on me, I sank down into my bed once in my room, Goldie right net to me like usual. I couldn't help but have a little laugh at my first experience around the infamous Nightmare Moon. Maybe this won't be so bad after all, since she can't do me any harm. I smiled and closed my eyes, eager to see what the following morning holds in store for me.
Guide on How to Bathe the Queen of the nightView OnlineThe Nightmare That Came From AboveGuide on How to Bathe the Queen of the nightAuthor's Note And another chapter for all of my friends (everybody) If you find any errors, please let me know :D Guide on How to Bathe the Queen of the night "EEEEAAAAIIIGGHHH!!!" Moon yelped as she jumped into my arms. "That's way too hot!" She whimpered with quivering lips, and drooped ears. "Heh heh, sorry, Moon. That's how I usually have it, so it was just instinct, ya know?" I asked as I made the water cold no cancel out most of the heat as the tub slowly filled with water. "Yeah, whatever," she grumbled, rubbing her right forehoof. "I'm sorry, Moon. It should be good now. Want to try it again?" She nodded and jumped back down to the floor, cautiously sticking her hoof into the water. It was so cute how she could barely look over the top of the tub. "It's good." She smiled and jumped to get in, and ended up slipping, landing on her back in the water with a large splash. She tried to scream, but the water muffled it. I was quick to reach down and pull her up out of the water so she was now in a sitting position. She wore a face of bemusement, a lock of her mane hanging down in front of her face. I let out a slight chuckle and moved the bang out of her eye. "Be careful now, ya silly filly! You could have just asked me to put you in!" She glared at me. "Shut it! It's not my fault I can hardly cwimb the thing!" "Thus proving my point you should have asked to be put in." I smiled and ruffled her mane. Moon groaned heavily. "Darn ponies. If I beat them I wouldn't be hewe!" Moon whined, pounding a hoof into the water. "But you ARE here, and I'm going to look after you, and maybe change your mind about taking over Equestria." I continued to smile against her glare as I grabbed a brush and bottle of hair shampoo from the cupboard by the tub. I noticed her watching me curiously and cautiously with those adorable slitted eyes of hers as I squirted a bit of the Suave conditioner onto my hand. "Ready?" I asked with poo in one hand and brush in the other. It's a little ironic how funny it is when you drop the sham out of shampoo. She nodded, and thus I began lathering the 'poo' into her mane with my fingers. Moon didn't seem too happy about it, but she knew it had to be done. So, I continued to lather until the soap had turned to suds and bubbles on her head, and words could not possibly describe the cuteness of her unamused expression. "I suddenly find myself being bathed by an alien as well," said Moon in a flat tone. I only shrugged. "Well you were the one who odered me to," I replied, making quotation marks with my fingers. She suddenly smiled, her ears perking up. "You're actually taking my owders!?" Moon cheered. I chuckled shaking my head. "I should have done so lastnight because you are covered in dirt, and so is the bed you slept in. It was obvious you needed one anyways." "Oh..." she mumbled, looking down with a sad expression. "So it's not that you'll do whatever I demand you to..." "Nope. Like before, I offer things and you either accept or decline them. Or the other way around." I chukled as I turned on the shower head, using it to spray the suds of off Moon's mane. "I think that's your problem, Moon. "What might that be? I am curious to hear your theory to why I do the things I do." I smiled at her and lifed her chin with a finger to look at me. "You try to boss everyone around to do what you want them to do. You can't be doing that. The level you brought it to was pretty bad, Moon. why not try to reason with people like I'm doing with you?" Moon tried to look down, so I got down on one knee so she wouldn't have to force her head up. "I did! Nobody wanted to share my night with me, yet everypony was up during the day! It was so unfaiw!" Moon pouted with crosses forelegs in an angry tone. "So I forced them to live in my night." "Which is another problem, Moon. You don't just force people or ponies to do what you want. What if I were to chain you up in my basement for a thousand years and not let you go until then? How would that make you feel?" "I wouldn't wike it...," she answered softly, turning her gaze down. "See? Now you're begining to understand!" I replied cheerfully with a ruffle of her mane before finishing rinsing her mane, which she slightly giggled to. "Here," I said reaching out my arm. "Lean back on my arm so I can wash your belly without you falling in the water again." She looked at my out stretched arm for a second or two, before nodding and laying against it. I then squeezed some of the poo onto her stomach. "Hehe, that's cold!" Moon giggled as I squirted the poo onto her. I smiled as I used the brush now to lather it into her midnight black fur, as well as scraping off the dirt. "You aren't so bad, you just need to understand some things." Moon shook her head. "I'm still gonna take over Equestwia! Nothong is gonna stop me!" She declaired with a determined face. I could only smile as to how cute she was. "I wish I could give you a hug," I cooed, smiling at her. She turned her head to face me with a confused look. "What's a hug?" I chuckled slightly. "Oh, yeah. You were too evil to ever know what a hug was. Would you like me to give you a hug?" Moon shrugged. "I don't care reawwy." "Ok," I replied with a smile, and not minding she's all wet, i put my arms around her and pulled her close into me. "Uuuhhhh....this is weiwd..." I chuckled letting her go with a soft smile. "You'll get used to them." "Hugs? Maybe, maybe not," she replied, looking up at me with those blue slitted eyes of hers. "And...I don't think I ever got your name..." "Oh, silly me!" I laughed. "It's Jake." "Jake?" Moon asked with a confused look. "That's a rather odd name." she said with a face of disgust. "And Nightmare Moon isn't?" Moon rolled her eyes and scoffed. "My name is to tell the ponies of Eqwuestwia my authority over them!" "Moon...please listen to me. It was hard enough to see you last night barely clinging to life. I...I'd miss you..." "You're not going to cwy are you?" Moon deadpanned. I shook my head. "I just don't like the idea of you getting killed." "Oh sure! Evewypony hates me, yet the first awien I meet has feelings for me. Save me your pitty." "Moon, I'm serious! I'd really miss you!" Moon looked down. "Lies," she sniffed. "I have nopony..." I sighed, gently stroking her wet mane, scratching behind her ear slightly. I could tell why she felt this way. It's quite obvious actually, since she did almost kill Luna, plunge Equestria into an 'eternal night,' and must have been down right to scary to all who saw her! It's rather easy to see how nobody would like her. Heck, I bet evrypony who's heard her name, and her story has a grudge against her. It was a thousand year struggle for her, and once she thought it was time, six very unexpacted ponies sprang up out of nowhere, and in a short time, she wound up here. With me. I wonder what it must feel like to have nothing. I watched as a tear slipped from Moon's left eye before splashing into the tub water. I don't hate her. Not for a second. She just needs somebody to understand her. "Moon? You okay?" I asked. She shook her head. "Look where a thousand yeaws of fighting got me. From a mare with near infinite power, to a filly in an alien world with no power at all," she replied sadly as a couple more tears fell from her eyes. "I just wanted somepony to enjoy my night." Moon sniffed as she turned her gaze to look up at me. "Is that too much to ask?" "No, I don't think so. But I know somepony who enjoys the night just as much as you do," I smiled, rubbing her cheek with a thumb. "Who?" "The very one you possessed." She gasped in surprise. "L-Luna?" I nodded. She suddenly look confused, glancing around the room with quick breaths. "H-how do you know about Luna? A-and Cewestia!" I gave a heavy sigh. "I'll show you if you're willing to watch after your bath." I answered softly, as I resumed washing down her body with more conditioner. I figured since hair shampoo is meant for hair, which Moon is covered in it, I'd just use that on her. "Sure," she said with a sigh, letting herself go limp as I scrubbed the soap into her dark fur with the brush. As soon as she was completely cvered in suds, I began drainging the tub, while using the shower head to rinse her body clean. With the tub empty and soap bubbles all gone, she sat shivering against the wall of the tub, rubbing herself with her hooves for warmth. I couldn't help but daw a little as I reached out for her with a large purple towel. She willingly allowed me to wrap it around her, so only her face showed as I lifted her into my arms. I began rubbing her dry, thus slowing her shivering. "You said you'd miss me right?" I nodded. "Yeah, I would. Even though you have plans to kill me, i still enjoy having you here. Not much happens out here since I live out in the woods." "So I'm just a means of entewtainment?" Moon asked with a bemused facial expression. "No, No! That's nowhere what I mean! It...it's hard to explain...but I'm sure you want more to figure out how I knew about Luna and Celestia?" She nodded. "I assume you know just as much about em aswell, if not more." I nodded as well. "Yeah. But let's get going okay? Want me to take the towel off? You're dry now." She shook her head. "No, it's making me warm." Moon giggled, getting mreo comfortable in the towel. "Also, what did you do with all of my armour?" "Oh, its all in my room! I'll go and get it!" I chuckled, carrying Moon out of the bathroom, shutting off the light on the way, and down the hall to my room. "There." I pointed to the nightstand where her chestplate, helmet, and shoes sat on top. "Put me down so I can put them on." I shrugged and let her down. I watched as she took each piece of armour and slipped each pice on. "I wonder what made them srink to fit...me..." she sighed, staring down at her hooves. "I can't take over Equestria like this..." I sighed and picked her up again. "There's no changing your mind about that, is there?" I asked, slightly chuckling. She shook her head. "It's what I went to Eqwestwia for! To take over!" Moon yelled, resulting in the waking of the golden retriever that laid upon my bed. I should have named her Enderman since she takes everything she shouldn't be taking. Goldie jumped up, wagging her tail and panting, trotting over to Moon. "Hi there...dog who is...bigger than me..." Goldie replied with a long lick to the side of her face. Moon gasped and fell to the floor, frantically trying to rub it off with her hooves. "EEEWWWWW!!!!" I gave a small laugh as I tried to pull Goldie away from Nightmare Moon, delivering her a barrage of licks. "Come on, Goldie! I just gave the poor filly a bath!" Goldie complied hesitantly, before changing her mind about Moon and came to tackle me to the ground. "Yeah, get the peasant instead!" Moon hollered. I didn't fight goldie, since when it comes to me, she will NOT stop licking until she feels I've had enough. by that time, my face was wet with her slobber, and finally she ceased as trotted out of the room. "YEah, go play with your toys, ya silly mutt!" I laughed sarcastically, sitting up, drying my face with a sleeve. "Now here were we again, Moon?" "Me taking over Eqwuestwia!" she replied cheerily. I gave a roll of my eyes. "If anything, it'll be a long time till that happens. What will you do till then?" "I dunno. C-can I stay with you?" Moon asked with pleading eyes. "I don't know what's out there, and I can't even defend myself!" I chuckled slightly she finally came to understand that point out of everything else. Smiling I held her closer. "That was the whole idea, Moon. You stay as long as you need, okay?" She smiled as well. "Thank you. Your kindness for me shall nevew be forgotten," she said softly, resting her head on my chest, resulting in me planting a kiss on her head. I couldn't help myself, at this point. The cuteness was just too much! Moon gasped and jumped o the floor, glaring evily at me. "Did you just kiss me!?" I nodded, blushing from embarrassment. "Sorry, I couldn't handle it..." "So you DO want to have affaiw with me!" Moon accused, with a rather amused laugh afterwards. "No I don't! You're just a filly! and even if you were grown I wouldn't want an affair with you! Here in my world, thing like that are deeply frowned upon!" She suddenly gave me a blank stare. "Then why'd you kiss me?" I struggled to form words, stuttering and sputtering like an old car engine refusing to work. "I..I just thought you were really cute is all!" I blushed redder, probably looking like a cherry, but mutated with a human face. "Whatever." Moon mumbled in a tone of sarcasm. She then jumped on the bed and laid on her back. "Now make with the bewwy wubs!" Moon ordered, pointing a hoof at her stomach, which had become a bit fluffier now that she had a bath. I rolled my eyes and sat next to her, and began rubbing her abdomen. "Yes your highness." Moon giggled and moved into my lap. "My loyal slave." She laid staring up at me with a soft smile with her forelegs to her chest, and her hind legs sprawled over my lap as she laid on her back. I smiled back at her as I scratched my nails lightly into her fur. "I'm not gonna be your slave, but if you behave, I'll reward you with treats like this." Moon groaned and gave a stern look at me. "I do not take the ordews from the likes of you. I'm only awwowing you to live because of your fwench toast which I demand be fed to me evewy morning I am here. If you cannot fufill that simple task, I will have no choice but to kill you once the opportunity pwesents itself to me. Am I cleaw?" I laughed as my only reaction to her threats to end my life. "Moon, you have no idea how hard it is to take you sewiously wif a voice wike dat!" Bazeeww!! was the sound of another beam as it shot out from ehr horn, and met my nose. It gve me a slight twitch and nothing more. "Heh, that only tickled!" I teased, poking her belly. "Will I ever be able to actually inflict damage upon your weak and nimble body?" Moon asked with an angered expression. From what I see, she's pretty upset she can't seem to inflicy any damage to me. I suddenly felt Like Edgar Allen Poe, because why not? And so my reply was simply this; "Nevermore." Quoth Nightmare Moon, "What do you mean by nevermore? That I won't ever gain back my powers needed to bwing Cewestia to evil justice!?" "Nevermore." I replied, trying my hardest to keep a straight face. Quoth nightmare Moon, "Do you even think I'll evew weturn to Eqwuestwia?" "N-nevermore!" I said again, now fighting the urge to laugh. Quoth Nightmare Moon, "I've had enough of this!" Moon grunted as she threw herself off of me. "So much for bewwy wubs!" She sighed heavily with a roll of her eyes as she left the room. "Nevermore!" I called out to her as she slammed the door shut with her magic. "I hate you!" she called back.
Going SoftView OnlineThe Nightmare That Came From AboveGoing Soft"Leave me alone!" Moon screamed from the other side of the door. "I hate you!" I let out a heavy sigh, regretting my idea to play god. The god of writting, to be exact. We were doing so good, she had even snuggled up against me! I'm thinking she's actually starting to like me! Or maybe not. She does want to kill me and refers to me as her slave, so maybe it was an occasional piece of gratitude. all in all, I feel I've made a small amount of prgoress in my mission to make Moon a good pony. "Moon, I was just playing around with you, okay? Please let me in." I begged, trying to get the door open, but she must have put some magical lock on it, or something since I can't even budge it. "Please? I'll finish your belly rubs for you!" I swear I could hear a little snicker from the other side of the door, followed by a slight, but evil chuckle. "What if I don't open the door?" she asked in a cocky tone. "No more french toast!" I smirked. "WHAT!? You can't do that to me! My slaves don't tell me what I can and cannot eat!" Moon whined, now being the one to try to open the door as i held it shut. I couldn't help but stiffle a small laugh. "The agreement was that you be a good girl, and I make french toast every single solitary morning, right?" "No!" Moon interjected. "It was that if you don't make me fwench toast evewy morning, I'd kill you!" she snapped, obviously getting a little flustered. Is her dander up? Well it needs to get down. Heh. I punned. I shook my head a little hysterically before answering. "Moon, you love me too much to want to kill me and you know it." "Whatevew! Just let me out! Pwease!" "Alright, you win," I answered opening the door. Moon came bounding out, only to be tackled down by Goldie who'd been standing there the whole time, eager to get her paws on Moon. "H-Hey! Get off you silly dog!" screamed Moon as she was covered in affectionate licks. Goldie refused to listen and kept licking. "Jake! Help me, pwease! I need you!" she cried, trying to fight the dog off of her. I could only smile at how desperate Moon seemed, plus begging me for help? It's quite funny. I smiled with a small shake of my head, watching moon struggle to beat even a dog. She flailed her arms at her, kicking her, but was all in vain, as none of her defensive attacks did nothing to help her mission to get the dog off of her. Finally she lit her horn, brighter than usual, and with a very distinguishable pop, her body disappeared, followed by another pop from behind me. I turned my gaze downwards to see Moon hinding behind my leg as protection from the dog who tought she was playing a game. Goldie was panting and wagging her tail, jumping at Moon. Moon was quick to scurry away, probably a hint of fear in her. "Something wrong, Moon?" "Your mutt is twying to eat me!" she cried, barely managing to avoid Goldie's pounces. I shook my head slightly, watching the scene unfold before me, Goldie having finally cornered Moon. "She isn't trying to kill you, Moon. She wants to play!" "Well, I don't like it!" she snapped, slowly backing away from the Golden retriever who was apparently out for her flesh. I gave a roll of my eyes and opened my arms for her. Upon taking notice to this, she instantly flew up and darted into my chest. I could only smile as I held her, sofly petting her flowing mane. "Better?" I asked since Goldie could no longer reach Moon, even though she was at my feet jumping for her. Moon nodded, leaning her head into my scratching fingers. "I like this," Moon smiled, where she lay in my arms. "I demand I be cawwied from now on as pwotection from your dog, plus I love how you pet me." Moon said happily. "I can do that." I agreed, running my hand along her small back as she purred. Well, not purring, but giving small moans of comfort and pleasure. "Nnngghhhh, this feels nice," smiled Moon, rolling onto her back. I smiled back at her as she looked up at me. I brought a hand to her stomach and began rubbing in small circles. "OOhh, bewwy wubs are the best." Moon sighed happily. "I see, but, Moon, I have somthing very impotant to ask of you." I said in a stern and flat tone. Moon frowned at me. "I don't take ordews from you!" "Look, I have to start getting ready for work in an hour, and while I'm gone, I only ask you stay in the house and don't destroy the place." "What do I get if I do this?" "I'll get you something if you promise to be good. Maybe a plushie, a candy bar, or something. Whatever." Moon smirked at me. "You know vewy well what I want." I gave a small scoff. "I can't give you an enternal night, Moon." Moon's ears drooped as she gazed at the floor. "But for now, I'm sure you're waiting to know how I knew about you and Equestria?" Moon nodded. I carried her out to the living room where I sat on the souch once more, where across the small living room was a thirty inch t.v. I know it's not the best but it's what I got. I took my ps3 controller in my hand from where it sat on the end table, and used it to turn on the ps3, after I remembered I had to get up again to flip the switch on the back of the system. So after taking my seat again on the couch, Moon crawled into my lap, and pulled my arms around her, since Goldie had been there as well. I couldn't help but chuckle as Moon stuck her tongue out at Goldie. I turned on the t.v and booted up netflix and went into the kids section, where after a little searching, I found what I was after. As soon as the image of the mane six popped up, Moon's eyes went wide. "THEM!" She yelled in anger at the raibow ponies on the screen. It's quite ironic how rainbows and unicorns are meant to bring joy and happiness as to where those two very things ruined Nightmare Moon. "THEY DID THIS TO ME!" she pointed with a hoof. I sighed, holding her in my arms. "I know, Moon. But just watch, okay?" "Fine," grumbled the former evil princess of the night. I took a deep breath, hoping for the best from this as I played the first episode, which I soon came to find was a bad idea. As soon as the part where Moon was defeated in "Friendship is Mgic Part ll" came by, Moon ended up taking the controller from me, and had tossed it at the t.v., with a enough force to result in smashing the remote through the screen. Well there goes finishing HALO for a while. I let out a low groan, where Moon had her forelegs across her chest. "Stupid ponies!" I sighed heavily, and moved Moon to the floor. "Have fun cleaning that mess up, Moon." I huffed, going off to my room to get ready for work. The sound of hooves on the hardwood floor followed me as I went down the hall. I turned to see Moon behind me. "I am not picking that mess up," she snapped. "I refuse to be your servant, or a slave no less!" I gave her a slight smirk. "I'd say in your current situation, you have no choice but to do as told." Moon only grumbled through her teeth in response. "Fine." "Good filly," I said back to her as she turned to walk away. "I am merely a grown mawe twapped in the body of a fiwwy!" "Then how come you fail to pwonounce your L's and r's, hmm?" Moon sighed heavily. "I'm just gonna ignowe that. Just gonna stay calm...and clean up that image pwojection machine you bwoke." A small chuckle escaped my lips. "Cause I have magic to throw remotes with." "No you don't!" Moon snapped. "And you're the only one that does, Moon." I stared in amusement at the fact I had full control over Nightmare Moon herself, watching her scoop up the broke pieces of glass. Even better she was no taller than a foot and a half. So, with a satisfied grin, I entered my door to get dressed into my Culver's outfit. Moon's P.O.V "Stupid, hairless talking monkey, making me do his work. It's not fair!" I screamed in my head as I swept the glass shards from the floor and into the dustpan. "How worse can this get!? First stuck on the moon for a thousand years with nothing! Then when I got back, it was only to be beaten by ponies just becoming teens, then sent off to this place as a filly! Now I'm being slaved because I'm powerless, and can't even hurt a fly..." I let out a low sigh, feeling like such a failure. My heart stings from a thousand years of pain and failure, without a shoulder to lean on. Tears filled my eyes, threatening to flow out like faucets once again. Lost in another world, with no clue of what's outside, with no ability to protect myself. What's a once all powerful princess to do, when she's lost everything, yet had nothing to begin with? I can feel my hooves shaking from beneath me, knees wobbling. Much to my despise, they gave way, and I became a crying heap of worthlessness. Shortly after I gean crying once again, like a child, I felt the sensation of the monkey's fingers going through my mane. "I know why you're sad, Moon," he said softly. "No you don't..." I frowned, turning away from him. "You could never understand my pain..." "Maybe not, but understanding, an knowing are two different things, Moon," he replied in the same soft voice, soothing me somewhat as he ran a hand along my back, which felt rather nice. "I'm just merely trying to cheer you up and give you a home until you return, which hopefully by then you will have changed your mind about wanting to take over." "I can't...they're too strong...and I'm simply a failure." "Oh, Moon..." I felt his hands wrap around my waist, causing me to let out a small squeak, but soon found myself in his arms, laying on my back. "Did you see how forgiving they were in the show? Maybe try making friends with them when you return. Like I said, maybe you're meant for something else, other than taking over worlds." I nodded. "I saw, but I'm not the friendly type..." "You've been sort of friendly with me, Moon. It's not to late to start learning." "And why should I listen to you? All you do is pick on me because I can't hurt you..." Jake sighed heavily. "Yeah, I see I shouldn't do that anymore, but, Moon, just know I care about you, okay? I would hate to see you get hurt more than you already are." "Why do you even care about me?" He smiled down at me, softly rubbing my cheek with one of the little appendages on the other...bigger appendage that had four other longer ones like the one he rubbed my cheek with. "Because I want to adopt you." "WHAT!?" I screamed from shock, jumping from his arms. "I am NOT a child! I am far older than you will ever be! I can't be your little girl when im over a thousand years old!" I roared through gritten teeth, wings flaring, horn lit, even though I probably don't intimidate him. His smile only grew. His open arms looked so welcoming, beckoning me to jump into him, but I can't go soft just like that for an alien! Especiall after only knowing him for one night! But I never had parents..or a friend...or anybody to be there for me when I needed somepony. It was always me...on my own. Yet this being, knowing my whole past, opened his home up to me, he saved my life, he held me, fed me, bathed me. Heck, he even pets me! But I can't be his daughter. I stared at the floor as I swam through my thought, folding my wings back up, draining what little existence of power that currently fails to fill my horn. I'm fine staying here with him. I mean, his...french toast is to die for! And maybe he was right...what if I did revert back to a filly? How old am I now? Either way, I'm not trusting him to be a father figure to be after only one night. Now ehre I am, giving him my answer. "I..." I began. "I'll put it into consideration." "I have to leave now, Moon. Try to be safe, and don't leave the house, okay?" He said softly, reaching his hand out, soon making contact with my mane. He gave it a small ruffle. To be honest, I did feel a little upset he's leaving. He is the reason I still exist, and I hate to admit, I don't think I'll be able to survive in this world without him. Based on what he told me, his world is probably a dangerous place. Not for Nightmare Moon of course...at least if I was still my original self. Then I'd have this whole puny planet to myself in days! But sadly I'm the equivalant of a rat. "C-can I have a hug first?" I asked. Jake smiled and pulled me into his protective arms. "Anytime, Moon." He held me tight for a few seconds, followed by a kiss to the tip of my horn. Normally I'd zap him, but zapping him only makes him wiggle for a second. Although his kiss somehow made me feel cared for. Like I finally had somebody that will be there for me. He's done so much for me already. For some reason, I couldn't fight the smile that spread across my cheeks, and I snuggled more into him. "Thanks, Jake." "No problem," he replied, gently placing me down. "I'll be back in six hours, okay?" I gave a small gasp at the mentioned length of time it would be before he returns. I hope it's sooner than he's saying. "It'll go faster than you know it, okay? If you want to watch more of My Little Pony, use the T.v in my room. just don't break it, okay?" I only nodded, watching him stand, seeming to be as tall as a castle to me. "Please try to be safe. I'd hate to see you get hurt." He smiled at me as he left to the outside. Quickly I jumped to the top of the couch, watching him enter some sort of a red contraption. Two lights lit up a red color, and the thing began to rumble. A few moments later, Jake was riding off in the contraption which had circular shapes at the bottom which I assume move what I think is a carriage. I sighed heavily as he disappeared around a corner. "Bye, dad..." Author's Note Hey i forgot to remove that part of moon calling jake dad. Its too soon for that, but if you want I'll keep it the way it is
Waiting For "Dad"View OnlineThe Nightmare That Came From AboveWaiting For "Dad"Author's Note OMG! Thanks so much guys for the feature, it means a lot :) Also I recently began the next chapter and i'm already 657 words into it, and I found this new song that's helping to inspire me, and gets me typing at this awkward pace, but it somehow works to keep me from making mistakes yet I can type faster :D Waiting For "Dad" It hurt to watch him leave. The only one who possibly cared about me, despite my actions and wishes. I called him dad...I don't know why. It just slipped out, you know? I'm Nightmare Moon, and... I'm a failure of a pathetic excuse of a villian. I let the power go to my head, thinking I was unstoppable, which all changed when it came to those six ponies. Because I had let my guard down, they got me, and here I am now. Dependant on some alien to help protect me since I can't harm anything. I'm a bug compared to him and his house which seemed to have gigantic furniture, but I'm just really tiny. I miss him. I miss my dad. Again I'll ask, why did I call him dad? Because Ive never had parent, or for anybody who cared about me in any way, so maybe it won't hurt to try. That saying. It won't hurt to try? I'm lost and broken because of trying. Because of trying, I've been cast far out into space to this planet where I haven't seen much of the outside. Yet, this alien who knows all about me seems to care. But why for me? Everyone sees me as a monster, where Jake finds me cute and something to pick on. What's a failure of an evil princess to do when you've got no power? I wish I knew. How did I even lose...to them!? It just doesn't make sense! I should have won! But...now that I saw the show, how happy they all were, getting along with each other. Laughing and giggling, embracing warm hugs. Maybe dad was right. Maybe I am meant for something else...but what? How will I ever find out being stuck here? Here I know nothing, have nothing, am nothing, with no purpose, or any idea of what do to. I'm just so confused. I just want dad... I sat, still wondering how I came to this. Depressing, isn't it? I suddenly find myself reffering to an alien as my father! I'm meant to be independant, and taking over the world, but sadly I failed. What am I even doing? I should be plotting an undefeatable revenge, yet I stay here, going soft for this Jake guy, who I know nothing bout, what he even is, or what is even outside this very house! I've been acting like such a child! I can't be the one bowing down, I'm supposed to be the one being bowed down to! I just wanted ponies to enjoy my night. That's all I wanted. Why did I even call Jake dad? He's not my dad! I shall not stoop to the low level of being adopted by an alien! And if anypony in Equestria heard of it, they'd never take me seriously! It's just all so confusing! I can see myself in the reflection of the glass, a small filly, with slits for eyes, shrpened teeth, a midnight purple coat of fur, two small wings at her sides, and a small horn jutting from her forehead. A small pathetic excuse for a villian. That's all that remains of me now. I can't destroy anything, or hurt anything with my magic, I can't fight off even a simple dog, or a little as wake JAke from his sleep with endless blasts that only stun for a mere second. Seems as if I'm back to where I began. A weak and powerless entity. Pant pant pant! "What now?" I asked said dog who jumped onto the couch next to me. She wore a dogish smile, her tongue lolling out of her mouth. "Speak, peasant!" I almost shouted, impatient to hear the dogs answer, standing on my four legs. A face full of tongue was what I got for an answer, followed by the mutt rolling onto her back, her paws in the air, short tail wagging rapidly. I gave the dog an evil glare as I wiped the dog slobber from my face, leaving it sticky and stinky. I assumed she's asking for a belly rub. "No." I said flatly, turning the other way. "I don't take orders from others. Especially mutts like you!" A low whimper came from the dog. "No!" I shouted, before jumping off the couch, and off to Jakes room I ran. The sound of the dog barking, as well as her paws thumping on the floor told me she was giving chase, and catching up quickly. Almost tripping over myself, I ran into Jake's room and I shut the door as fast as I can. There was a firm thump since that dog probably ran head first into the door, but at least I'm safe from it now. Slumping down to the floor, a sigh escape my lips. Weaker than a mere dog. a pup at that. It's embarrassing really. "Maybe I should plan out my revenge, instead of complaining," I said quietly to nobody. "Now I'm stuck prisoner to that darn mutt out there." I grumble, hearing the scratchig and barking and whimpering coming from the other side of the door. I only ignore it as I begin looking around the room. There's another t.v on top of a bookshelf, plastic pony figurines strewn on top. I head over to it, to inspect further. Being so short, I have to stand on my hind legs to see. I notice the figurines were of Celestia, Luna, and those six ponies who brought me to this tormenting life I live now. There were many others, but one stood out most of all. A figurine of myself, wings flared, legs spread in what appeared to be some sort of battle stance. Her head was high, as she appeared to be cackling at nothing. I take her in my grasp, looking at her carefully. I then take the celestia figurine. She was just standing, smiling down at something, wings expanded upwards. Anger began to fill me since she had been the one to send me to the moon for a whole millenia! I thought I was strong enough. I beat her before, but it was only a mere battle. I could feel their laughter. The ponies who read the stories of how I was banished to the moon. I turn to see the Nightmare Moon figurine. A powerful princess, who could do all she wanted with her magic. Mostly anything, anyway. Yet, she was defeated in the end, depending on an alien to care for her since she is now all but helpless. Now just recently she's become prisoner to a dog, staring at figurines, wondering what went wrong. It's all because of Celestia! All of this...just because nopony enjoyed my night. Relatives hate me, my night means nothing, I failed to conquer Equestria, and now...I have nothing... They know how to defeat me, so it'll probably be impossible now to ever win. I let out a sigh as I place the figurines back where they were. I then take Luna. She looks upset, as if guilty of doing something bad. She was a regular happy mare, at least until I happened. I wonder how she feels now. Normally I'd be wanting to crush her, yet, I feel as if I want to apologize. So far, I see three possibilities. Either I work for another thousand years to gain back my power and hope to become victorious this time, or I go back, apologize, and hope Equestria accepts me. The last option I see is to stay here with Jake. I'd hate to do so much work, just to be defeated again. If I apologized, I bet nopony would accept me into their lives. Then there's Jake. An alien willing to be my father, but I'm over a thousand years old. He's around his twenties probably! It wouldn't make sense. Yet he cares about me. He saved my life. What should I do? I wish I knew. ***** Jake's P.O.V Six hours. Six hours I've been missing her. I'm worried about her. I'm scared for her. I love her. The evil villian I see as a possible daughter, who goes by the name of Nightmare Moon. I see good in her, but I don't know if she can see it. I long to get home to her, to hold her close again. When I first held her after finding her barely alive out in the woods made me feel how I do now. I still can't believe after the first night I offered to be the father to Nightmare Moon! She said she'd think about it, but I bet she was only trying to be nice. I'm driving home as fast as I can without going too far over the speed limit. It's hard anyway in this crappy Chevy Lumina. I have money for a new car, I just don't want to go through the hassle of buying one. I've got a job as a mechanical engineering technician, so I make around thirty bucks an hour which is quite a hefty pay for one man. I glance at the large, white and furry forty dollar, teddy bear in the passenger seat next to me, hoping Moon will enjoy her gift. I continue to speed through traffic, when my way through had appeared. An ambulance with sirens wailing came racing past me as other cars scurried to get out of the way. A sly smirk appeared on my lips as I sped up from forty five to sixty, following the path the ambulance had cleared with it’s passing. Following close behind the ambulance, engine rumbling and sputtering from age, I zoomed past the other cars along the way, up until the ambulance made a turn down another road. By then, there was hardly any traffic at all, and I was easily able to speed past them if needed. Soon, the dirt path to the side of the road came into view, signaling I was almost home. I took as wide of turns as I could around the bends to avoid having to slow down. I was mostly worried about her, or what could happen without my knowing. After a bit of driving, I finally came to see the large two story white house in the distance. I sped up a little more, and a few seconds later, I was crunching to a halt. Yes. Crunches. I'm on dirt which crunches, not asphalt which screeches. I put the car in park, shut it off, and quickly exited the slowly falling apart vehicle. I quick inspected the front of the house. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so I went inside after unlocking and opening the door. It didn't take long to tell where Moon was, since my dog was currently scratching at the door to my room, just at the top of the steps. I let out a sigh of relief, knowing things just may be okay, and that I may have gotten a little paranoid. Either way, I slowly headed up the steps, and stopped at the door, my hand slightly tremlng as I reach fro the knob. With the teddy bear in hand, and a doorknob in the other, I slowly entered the room. The dog was much quicker than I. “Moon?” I ask, seeing her sitting on my bed as she stared at a book of some sort. Her head turns my way and she gasps. “J-Jake! You let the dog in!!” She shrieked as she was once again tackled by the golden retriever. A small chuckle escaped my lips as I sat down on the bed next to Moon. She thrashes around for a bit, screaming for her freedom, but soon her cries for help turned to happy giggles as her face is getting a good licking. “Stop it, stop it!” Moon laughed, with her forelegs around her. “Alright.” I spoke up. “That’s enough little one, I stated firmly, removing the dog from Moon. “Thanks, Jake...I guess…” said Moon nervously, rubbing the back of her neck with a foreleg. “It’s no problem. Sow what did you do while I was gone?” “Uhhh….” ***** “Darn! He’s gonna be so mad at me!” whined Nightmare Moon as she cleaned the Hershey’s chocolate milk syrup off the floor. She tossed the once white rag into the pile with the other four chocolate soaked rags. “I didn’t mean to spill it! I just wanted to try it!” Moon sadly didn’t know the “warm it up in the microwave” technique to get the syrup to flow better, and so she forced it out by squeezing her hooves against the side of the bottle, which resulted in the cap popping off from the amount of force, which in returned caused the syrup to explode out into her face and all over the floor. ***** “....N-nothing but miss you!” She chirped, smiling up at me as I moved her into my lap. “Oh, so you missed me?” Moon nodded. “Of course! All super villains need their servant slash side kick around!” she smiled wide, and threw her forelegs around my neck. “I missed you too, Moon. And this is for you,” I smiled, picking up the bear which I had deposited on the floor, and giving it to her. She gasped, as her jaw dropped to the floor. “I...LOVE IT!” she screeched cheerfully, pulling it into a tight hug as best she could since it IS bigger than her. I couldn’t help but smile as I begin scratching behind her ears, to which she leaned her head into my hand. “Thanks, da-J-Jakey!” “Da? Were you just about to call me dad?” Moon shook her head violently. “No! Of course not! You’re not my dad!” Moon grumbled facing away from me, snuggling her new bear with the pink paws,, ears, eyes and bow tie. “Moon?” I smirk. “No!” I smile softly at her as I wrap my arms around her. “It’s okay if you don’t want to admit it, Moon. Either way, I’m still here for you, okay?” “I don’t see why…” I let out a low sigh. I notice the book she was looking at just of to my side. A large photo album, filled with pictures of up to twenty years old. “Maybe I can explain,” I reply softly, taking the book in my hands, and setting it on Moon’s lap as I began turning through the pages of the many family photos that have been taken over the years. I flipped through birthdays, Christmas's, Thanksgivings, random fun times, and pet's I've had that have come and gone. I was basically watching myself grow up as I flipped through the pages, getting a bit older in each photo of mine. I explained many of the photos to her of what happened at the time they were taken to the best of my knowledge. Moon would often ive her aww's, daww's squees and giggles. then came that one photo I loved, yet hated so much. It was the last photo I had taken of me, my wife Jeanette, and my daughter, Celia, holding her persian cat named Mittens. They both had blonde hair and the same blue eyes, but Celia's face had been dotted with spots of freckles, and rosey cheeks that wore a beautiful smile as she was cuddled against Jeanette as they sat on the couch. I had an arm around the back of Jeanette, and an arm in front of Celia, holding them both close to me. A hearth hang above since it was Christmas at the time, and Mittens was Celia's present. I could already feel tears filling my eyes. Dang drunk driver plowed into them late one night, pushing them into a ditch. They were driving back from a concert Celia sang at for her school. He had t-boned them going over sixty miles an hour on the run from the cops who were just behind him, it was said on the tv. Jeanette died on impact, Celia died later in the hospital. Injuries were too much for the small eight year old. After that, I mainly stayed inside, shutting out everyone in my life except my current dog. "I...don't know what to say..." Moon murmmered, gazing at me with a concerned expression as she wiped a tear from my cheek with a hoof after I explained it to her.. "You...remind me of her. Celia. Confident, smart, and a caring heart, which I know you've got one, Moon." I smiled softly, rubbing her cheek with a thumb. "So you care about me because I remind you of her?" I nodded. "Yeah, plus the fact that you're now young like she was, and you're pretty much helpless, as much as I hate to say it like that, but I was worried about you while I was at work." I sighed. "I know you're going to say you're Nightmare Moon and you can handle anything, which I know you could if you had your powers. But...since I was a father before, I've started getting back those old instincts. Which lead to me offering to adopt you, which I know you won't want, and I can understand that." I look down as another tear slips from my eye. "I miss being called daddy, dad, husband, father, love of my life. All of those. I miss them so much..." "Well...since you saved my life, and I DO owe you, I'll agree to letting you be my dad." I look up at her. "Do you really mean that?" Moon smils and hugs me. "Yeah. Dad." I smile back at her, returning her hug. "Thank you, my little Moon." Moon giggled a little. "Just don't go too far with those cute names, okay?" "No problem," I chuckle, rubbing her mane gently.
Negotiating With an Evil Princess and French ToastView OnlineThe Nightmare That Came From AboveNegotiating With an Evil Princess and French ToastAuthor's Note Yay another chapter! Hope you enjoy! I'm trying to keep this cute, still with moon trying to be an evil overlord, but now of cuteness! Will she ever open up to her savior? Probs not. I'm trying to make this funny as well. Feedback is very well appreciated as I would love to hear what you guys think so far :D Negotiating With an Evil Princess and French Toast Sadly for me, it's been a long sleepless night, due to the fact I couldn't shake the thought of having a power crazed villian living with me all of a sudden. I slept on and off throughout the night, barely being able to fall asleep. I couldn't seem to shake Nightmare Moon from my mind, since she was currently in the room right across the hall from me. Heck, she even tried to kill me! So much for saving her life! I let out a low roan, gazing my view towards the glowing green digital clock for probably the hundreth time for tonight. 5:45 am it read, fifteen minutes it's been I've been trying to get back to sleep, but to no avail. But for Goldie, she slept peacefully without a sound, her head and right foreleg upon my chest. She simply refuses to sleep anywhere else. If it's not with me, she won't sleep. I sighed heavily, staring up at the ceiling above me, scratching Goldie's head slightly. I decided should go see how she's doing, just to make sure she's okay. Slowly I pushed Goldie off me, careful to not disturb her as I stood from the bed. Groggily snuffling my feet across the carpet, I made my way out into the hall where the light was still on, reflecting off the red painted walls. On the other side of the hall was the door to the room in which Moon was staying. I leaned my ear into the crack, to see if there was anything to be heard coming from her room. All I could hear was a light sniff. "Moon?" I asked, slightly opening the door. "Go away..." I sighed, seeing how the tone in her hushed voice was that of stress. I knew she wouldn't be too happy to wake as a filly in another world, where her powers are currently useless. I opened the door a little more and peeked in to see her sitting up on the window sill, staring up at the moon. Her shadow loomed across the floor up until where the light poured in from the hall. "Are you okay?" She turned her head back to face me. "I said go away," she replied bluntly. I stared back at her, wearing a face of concern. Yes she's evil, but maybe she can be changed. Yes it'll probably be suicide to try and do so, but I at least gotta try. "Moon, I can tell you're upset. Need somebody to talk to?" She stood and jumped around in an instant, her eyes glowing like before. "I said go away!" she yelled, the tip of her small horn lighting up the same color bfore blasting another shot of magic at me. Sadly for her, It just missed and hit the wall next to me, slightly charring the light blue paint. I sighed again, moving further into the room as she turned her gaze to the floor. "Look, if you're going to be staying here, you can't be shooting lazers and beams of magic at me when I try to help you." "I don't need help! I'm-" "Nightmare moon. Yes, I know. But names mean nothing. You're powerless, in the body of a filly, and obviously in an alien world." I interjected, moving closer. "If I wasn't a fiwwy you'd be dead!" She snapped, glaring at me, still with slightly glowing eyes. I smiled softly at her as I sat next to her. "And where would you go then, without anybody to lead you? My world is a lot different tha yours, Moon, and you'd be helpless against the forces my world can dish out." "And just how do you know I can't be defeated?" "You've been already." I said with a frown, somewhat regretting it, but she needs to know. She looked down wth a sorrow expression. "I was supposed to rule Eqwuestria, but those six ewements of hawmony had to ruin it! The night was supposed to wast forevew! Ponies were suppoed to be bowing down and kissing my hooves, begging for mercy!" Moon sniffled again, her eyes filling with tears. "And look where it's got you. Maybe you weren't meant to rule. Maybe you're meant for somehting else." "Like what?" Moon mumbled. "I'm not sure, but only you can figure it out." i smiled, reaching a hand out to touch her flowing and sparkly mane. She took several glances at me and my hand. "Wh-what are you doing!?" she asked in surprise as I ran my fingers through her mane. "My foster mom would always do this when I was upset." i smiled and continued to gently stroke her mane. She swatted my hand with a hoof. "Well stop! It...it feels..." "Nice, huh? For somebody to care about you?" Moon scoffed. "You're tweating me like such a child! I..." she gazed up at me. "Wh-what did you say?" "I care about you. I know in your world you were evil and all, but I can see good in you. You just need to find it." I replied softly, reaching out to touch her mane again. She said nothing, and leaned into my hand. I smiled, petting softly. "There you go." "This is only a one time thing." Moon deadpanned. "Do it again and I'll..." "You'll blast me into a million pieces?" "I would if I could." "But the fact is you, can't. Maybe you were sent here for a reason." I replied softly as I picked her up and set her in my lap. Immediately she jumped down to the floor, staring angrily up at me. "If anything, it's not to be an alien's pet! I'm an evil overlord, not a pet! I demand the respect I deserve!" "Hmmm.." I thought with a hand to my chin. She really didn't like it I had picked her up, just like nopony liked it how she tried to force the night on them. If this were a cartoon, you'd be able to see a small light bulb appear brightly above my head. I smirked as I quickly reach down and picked her up and held her tight so she couldn't move. "H-hey! Let me go!" She cried, squirming and wiggling, but it was fruitless attempt. "You really don't like this, huh?" I asked slyly. She didn't answer and continued to struggle. "Pretend I'm you, and you're a regular pony who doesn't like the night being forced forever onto them. You don't like it. Thsi is how they felt. Angry and hurt, doing what they could, but all was in vain since they could do nothing." "I don't cawe! Let me go! NOW!!" "How do you think Celestia felt since you took her sister for a thousand years!? She must have begged and prayed, knowing even she couldn't stop you!" I yelled over her. "What if I never let you go for a thousand years? How would that make you feel?" Suddenly she stopped struggling, as she began to cry into my chest. "It wasn't fair! Nopony liked my night! It made me feel useless, and irrelevant! Like I served no purpose!" Moon wailed, slowly soaking my shirt with her tears as I held her, loosening my grip. She banged her fore hooves against me as she cried. "Moon, it's okay." I said softly, gently stoking her mane. "No it's not! I can't even hurt you! It's not fair! I hate you!" she screamed her face still in my chest. "Just let it out, Moon. Just let it out." I replied soflty as I ran my hand up and down her back. I sat on the bed, holding her close as she cried. "I hate these darn fiwwy instincts, making me cwy!" "Just let it out," I said again, petting her still. For another minute or two she cried, and as she began to calm down, she ended up falling asleep. I'd assume she's been up all night, and all thay struggling and cryin must have knocked it out of her. I hardly felt cared of her anymore, but bad for her instead. She's lost and confused, with nowhere to turn. She's lost everything, so it's as if I'm all she has, but her prestigous evils instinct makes it hard for her to notice. Never in a thousand years would I have ever thought I'd be holding the Nightmare Moon in my arms as she cried into me about all her pains and stresses. All I wish to do now is hel her understand that there's another way than trying to take over, and forcing eveybody to bow down to her. I know sooner or later she's going to aske how I knew about Celestia, and I'd have to tell her. All I know is that this is going to be one long recovery for poor Moon. I contemplated bringing her with me back to my bed to have her sleep with me, or to put her back in her bed. She needs somebody to look after her now that she's powerless in every way. Her magical blasts don't do more than give a very faint shock, only enough to give her victims a slight and short shake from it at most. I want to keep her safe, but why I'm trying to help her, even though she wants to kill me, I don't know. I let out a sigh as I laid her back down in her bed, placing the covers over her. I smiled down at her as she slept, while I still sat on the bed. I ruffled her mane a little as I stood. I'd regret leaving her alone, but I don't think she would like having to wake up in my arms. but me being a brony, and her being an irresitibly abroable filly, beckoned me to lay back down again. So I did. I crawled under the covers next to her and pulled her close, holding her in my arms. Soon I became weary, yawning sighing slight as my eyes began to close. The next morning I woke ot find Moon still in my arms. She stared up at the ceiling. She was awake which surprised me she hadn;t tried blasting me again. I yawned softly, turning my head so my breath wouldn't end up in her face. She turned her head towards me. "Good, you're finally awake, now let me go, since my bwasts can't do so much as even wake you up." "What do you mean?" I asked as i sat up, noticing the chest area of my shirt was all hard and charred, changed from maroon to black. "hey, this was my favorite shirt! How many times did you try?" "Twelve times. how do you sleep through all that?" moo asked as she jumped to the floor. "Well, I have been known to be very hard to wake up, so I guess I'm sorry." I shrugged. "Guess I better change my shirt." "Your arm was too heavy for me to move as well. And how come you were sleeping in the same bed as me? Are you twying to have an affair with me!?" I was about to answer, but ended up choking on my words from being accused of having an affair with her. "What!? no, of course not! You...you were just so cute how you were sleeping, and I couldn't help but hold you. Plus I feel really bad for you, and I...I want to protect you." Her mouth dropped open as if she'd been offended, which I'm sure I probably just did that. "YOU pwotect ME!?" I nodded. "Yeah, since your magic blasts do nothing to help you and the fact you'e a filly who cant harm as much as a bug." Moon looked down. "Am I reawwy that pathetic?" I shook my head and ruffled her mane. "No, of course not! You aren't pathetic, you just need somebody who will be willing to look after you until you can care for yourself again." I said oftly; "Ok...and...I'm hungwy. I haven't eaten for a couple days pwobably..." I smiled and picked her up as I stood. "What do you usually eat, then?" "Fear, but you don't fear me, or your dog. I've never had actual food or anything. Also, can you put me down? I at least can walk." she deadpanned. I chuckled sightly and nodded, placing her back down on the ground. "Sure." "This reawwy sucks..." "That you can't kill me?" "That, plus the fact I can't do anything reawwy on my own now..." she craned her neck to look up at me. "If I wasn't a fiwwy, I'd be taller than you. Now I'm half as tall as your lower leg." I smiled a little. "Then I guess you'll be staying with me till you're just as tall again." Moon frowned and looked down again. "Like twenty years..." "As long as it takes. Now how about breakfast?" Moon nodded. "But as soon as I can, I'm leaving to overthrow Cewestia." "And if you are deafeated, I'll raise you up again." I smiled as i picked her up and carried her out to the kitchen. "I said I could walk, you know." I chuckled slightly. "I know, but you're just so cute." "i'm meant to be scawy, not cute," she said flatly, and booped my face with a hoof. "Sucks for you, then." I said as I sat her on the table, since she'd be too short to sit in a chair, and I don't have a highchair. even if I did, I don't think she would ever allow me to put her in one. "Shut up, and make me food! I demand you feed me!" "You're my guest. You don't mae the demands. I offer and you say yes or no." I smirked at her as I pulled a griddle out of a bottom cupboard, a spatula, a few eggs, vanilla extract and evrything else needed to make french toast. I set the griddle on the stove on a heat of four, and dunked the first slice of bread in the mix and onto the griddle. After about thirty or so seconds, I flipped it onto the otherside. showing a golden brown, almost perfectly cooked side. "Are you almost done yet?" She asked in a flat tone of irritation an annoyance. I looked back to see her laying on her stomach on the table, her head propped up on her hooves. "Wanna watch so you aren't so bored?" "Fine." She said as she stod as flew over to the counter where she took the sme position on the counter just as i was finishing the first slice. "Try this," I said as I placed the slice on a small plate with a fork. I took the syrup and drizzled a swirl of it on top of the bread. Moon took the fork in her magic and poked the toast with it. "What is this goo on top of it?" "It's french toast. The goo is syrup. Cut a piece off and try it!" Moon rolled her eyes. "Look at me. Taking orders from an awien," she scoffed as she took a bite. her eyes widened and her pupils shrank. She glared at the fork and tossed it across the room. It clanged against the wall before coming to land on the floor. She then took the whole slice of toast in her magic and shoved it in her mouth, chewing happily. Her cheeks were puffed from being full of bread. She winced as she forced it down her throat. She glanced at me, stood on her hind legs, resting her forelegs on my chest for support as she stared me in the eye. "I NEED MOWE!" I laughed and ruffled her mane. "As long as you pormise to be good I'll make this evry morning okay?" She groaned heavily. "There's always a catch." "Yep, now sit, and I'll make you another." She rolled her eyes and sat back on the counter as I dunked another slice of bread into the mix and plopped it onto the griddle. After another two slices of french toast later, Nightmare Moon let out a sigh of relief as she layed on her back, with a hoof over her buldging stomach. "I hereby appoint you my woyal slave, and I reqwest a bath!" I smiled at her and poked her belly with a finger. "Let me guess, you'll blast me if I don't?" She rolled her eyes. "Would you stop using that on me!? You're lucky my magic is weak, or your bwood would be all over the wall!" "And, if I'm dead, my blood all over the wall like you say, that means no more french toast!" Moon sighed heavily. "Vewy well. You have a reason for me not to kill you." Smiling, I picker up, laying her across my arms, knowing she must be too full to move a limb. "I know you wouldn't kill me either way. You love me too much." She glared at me. "Do not! I tolewate you! I'm only putting up with your puny existence, so you can heed to my every will!" "You keep telling yourself that," I chuckled as I entered the bathroom and started the tub.
