The door to Peter and Moondancer's cell opened, awaking and blinding the two. They saw silhouettes of other people, but couldn't tell as they were dragged out of their dark room into a much larger, and brighter, room. Peter was dragged by his arms, and Moondancer was dragged by her mane, and both, though in pain, slowly regained their vision. They were both dropped in the middle of the room, both rubbing their eyes and gasped at the sight.

"Aliens!" Peter and Moondancer gasped in unison. All around them, aliens stood around them, varying in shapes & colors. As far as they could tell, they were surrounded by men, all wearing leather red jackets with a fireball on it. The aliens laughed at their comment, but stopped as a particular set of steps was heard. Many of the aliens stepped aside as Yondu came in with a noticeable smirk.

"Well, well, well," he spoke "Lookey what we got 'ere; two little girls."

"Girl!?" Peter yelled in anger, standing up. "I'm not a girl! I'm a boy!"

"Heh, you sure? You both sounded like you had fun in there cell of yours." Moondancer stood up and stepped to Peter's side.

"L-l-look," she stammered "W-we don't where we are a-a-and what's-"

"I wanna go home!" Peter interrupted "I don't care who you are, but I'm getting out of here!" Yondu chuckled, followed by the others around him

"Think you can get out like that?" He asked. "And you're gonna leave without this?" He held up a backpack. Peter gasped at the sight and ran for it, only to be held back by one of the aliens.

"Give that back!"

"Oh, in a while. Let's see what we got here." Yondu opened the backpack and pulled out some junk. "Ooh! A cute little girl toy."

"That's from some girl at school!"

"Hm... a primitive device."

"That's my Walkman!"

"A walk man? It ain't no man." He dropped it, breaking the device "Nor does it walk."

"You bast-!" Yondu pulled out a wrapped gift.

"Oh! A present for me? Ah, you shouldn't." He began to slowly tear up the wrapped gift. Pater let out a furious yell, stomping on the alien's foot hard. The alien released Quill, wincing in pain, and Peter ran to Yondu, delivering a punch... below his belt. Yondu, fell to the floor, wheezing, as Peter took his backpack and stuff back with him. He turned to run away, but saw himself surrounded by the aliens. Yondu grunted to himself, grabbing Peter by his cheeks with his right hand and held a knife with the other. "Boy! You have now just PISSED ME OFF!!!" He held the knife to Peter's face. "Y'know, my boys ain't ever had Terran before, and you look mighty tasty. Maybe we should have finger fillets first, followed by-" Moondancer rushed to Peter, biting Yondu's left hand. Yondu winced in pain, dropping the knife and letting Peter go. Moondancer quickly released Yondu, but picked up the knife with the aura around her horn, holding it to Yondu's throat.

"Back off!" Moondancer demanded "You don't hurt anybody else like that, especially Peter! He's already lost his mom, and I have no memory of my home, so why don't you back off before I-!" Yondu's mohawk glowed red as he let out a whistle. As fast as a flash, an arrow came from his belt and levitated itself inbetween Moondancer's eyes, also having a red aura, though only at the back end. The filly sweated hard, taking a few steps back as the arrow slowly followed her. Yondu stood up, laughing maniacally.

"Heh! You two stepped up to me like it was nothing, and only now do you fear me. Allow me to introduce myself; The name's Yondu Udonta, and the two of you are the newest members of my fair group, the Ravagers. You will look like us, talk like us, look out for each other like brothers, and, above all else, respect my authority. We clear?" Both Moondancer and Quill nodded. "Good!" Another whistle and the arrow returned to Yondu. "Tomorrow, y'er both gonna start your training. As of now... well... I think you're both used to being in the cell. Hopefully, you'll be able to pilot some of the other ships we have onboard."

Both Quill and Moondancer were thrown back into their cell, followed by two bowls of glop sliding in near them.

"Enjoy your meal." One of the Ravagers taunted before slamming the door. The sound outside died, and the two were alone again. Peter sniffled again, holding the broken Walkman in his hands. Moondancer approached to Quill, sitting next to him.

"Quill?" she asked "Hey, don't be sad. It's just an object; it was gonna break sooner or later."

"...No." Quill wept "This... this was the very last thing my mom gave to me... before she... well-."

"Oh. I'm sorry. ...What does it do?"

"... It used to play music... awesome songs from epic singers & bands that my mom introduced me to. But... as you can see... it's garbage, as you said."

"I never said-! Oh... never mind. And your present?"

"Also from my mom."

"Right. Have a dad?"

"... No. My told me he walked out on us some time when I was young... asshole."

"...Asshole?"

"It's a term used where I came from. There's a lot you're gonna learn."

"I'd like that. Can I see your Walkman?"

"Knock yourself out." Peter handed her his broken walkman, picking up the bowl of what was soup and took a sip. He spat it out! "UGH!!! It tastes like shit!" He turned around, seeing Moondancer hold the broken Walkman in her aura. "What are you doing?"

"Fixing it."

"Fixing it? Look, I don't know anything about you, or the magical world you may have came in Ponyworld, but there's no way you can fix something that's advanced as-"

"Fixed!" She gave the Walkman to Quill. "Go on, test it out!" Peter rolled his eyes, turning on the device while putting on his headphones

"Fine, but I know for a fact that it's not gonna-"

The device was fixed. Clear music came from the headphones; in fact, the music sounded much better than before. Peter turned to Moondancer, who had what he called a Shit-Eating Grin.

"Moondancer... how did-"

"Magic. Just fixed the device altogether, plus, a spell was casted to make sure that both your Walkman is both extremely durable, never needed to charge, and the device inside to not wear down or scramble. Of course, this coming from a unicorn from a 'stupid kid's show'." Peter stared at Moondancer, still with the grin.

"... Moondancer... I'm sorry for what I said... and I wanna thank you for standing up to the Asshole... and fixing my Walkman."

"Hey, I know I'm gonna have to help you out here, as we're stuck here for a while."

"Oh... right. Do... do you think we'll be stuck here, forever?"

"With you... I can deal with it."

"And I suppose I shall with you. But... do you think I should give myself a new name?"

"...A new name?"

"Well, not a new name, but a title of some sort." Moondancer shrugged her shoulders like a human would.

"Sure, why not. What do you have in mind?" Though he didn't want to say it was from his mother again, Peter said the name.

"StarLord." Moondancer stared for a bit, but smiled.

"Now THAT is a name!" Peter smiled back, hugging Moondancer.

"Then it's settled! Watch out, Galaxy, StarLord is here!"

"Along with Moondancer." Her horn glowed as she was about to drink the soup they received. Peter stopped her.

"Don't drink the soup. Trust me, the soup is a lie." Through their actions, they became siblings to each other, and though hardships & adventures await them, they'll be together.
