Chapter 10: Moon's Memory Is Back

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Artemis’ horn suddenly flashed. “Well, I gave your friend her memory back.” He said, “They will return by the time she finishes in the bath. But, she has one problem that the real Falling Moon has. ”

“Well dad, what is the problem?” Sun asked.

“Well, let’s just say Falling Moon had a little bed wetting problem.” Artemis chuckled.

“Wait, so you’re telling me that Moon was a bedwetter, and now Damian is too?” Sun asked, her jaw hanging just barely over the floor.

“Well in a manner, your friend is Moon, so yes, she will be.” Artemis stated.

“Ok...wait, do I have any conditions I need to know about?” Sun asked worriedly.

“Well Rising Sun had a bit of a temper, do you have a temper?” Artemis asked seeing a glare from Sun

“I think the fact that saying that makes me want to punch the wall says it all, don’t you?” Sun growled, taking a deep breath, her glare turning into a worried frown. “Seriously, are we gonna end up being exactly like them or something? Are we gonna lose what made us, well us?”

“Well, no, not really, but if you just gained her temper,” Artemis let out a nervous laugh “Heh, you're not planning on hitting something or me for that matter are you”

“No. If I get angry I’ll just find something that could actually withstand a buck from me.” She replied, letting off a quick kick into the wall, leaving a small dent.

“Poor wall, what did it do to you?” Artemis asked jokingly.

“Ha ha. So, when this is over, Damian and I can go home, right?” Sun asked hopefully.

“Well you have a choice to stay or go.” Artemis said

“As much as I like this place, I can’t abandon my little sister. It would be like if Solaris abandoned you somewhere and chose not to try and go back for you. I couldn’t do that to Meadhbh.” Sun said sadly.

“NOOOO, GET AWAY FROM ME!” They heard a high pitched voice shout “YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!”

“Uhhh, what’s going on? Is that Moon?”

“Yes it is. I have a feeling her memory is back.” Artemis said with a sigh, “Well, at least she is clean now.”

“Wait...what if she comes after you for taking her memories away in the first place? She’ll be looking for revenge.” Sun said, taking a few cautious steps away from the Lunar Stallion.

“Hey, you went along with it and made her wear a dress, so you have some blame to take.” Artemis smirked.

“BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTING LIKE THE REAL FALLING MOON BECAUSE OF YOUR SPELL!” Sun retorted.

“Calm down now.” Artemis said calmly, placing a wing on Sun’s back in an attempt to calm her.

“Alright then, dad. Hey, I have a question...how did we get named Falling Moon and Rising Sun, when Moon is Solaris’ daughter, and Sun... well I don’t know what Sun’s family tree is like.” Sun asked, raising her eyebrow as Artemis retracted his wing.

“Well Moon was born when I was lowering the moon and Sun, well, nopony knows.” He explained.

“I see. Hey, when I do go home, do you think you’d be able to visit sometime?”

“I do not think so.” Artemis said sadly

“Oh. Well, if Dam-Moon, sorry, if Moon decides to stay, keep her out of trouble for me.” Sun said, just as the door burst open, and a wide-eyed Moon ran through, slamming it shut behind her.

“Hide me.” Moon said, jumping behind Sun.

“Hey, it’s ok. What happened?” Sun asked, levitating the filly onto her back.

“Shaddup they are trying to put a ribbon in my hair.” She exclaimed.

“Don’t worry. Hey dad, you think you can tell them to cool it with the, accessorizing?”

“Yes, I think that is reasonable.” Artemis said, walking outside for a brief moment. Sun and Moon could barely make out what was said, but it sounded like Artemis was giving them a stern talking-to. They shared a relieved look when he came back in with a smile and said “Alright, they will leave accessories out of your mane now.”

“Ok. So, Moon, dad over here says we have a choice when this is over. We can stay, or we can go home. What will you do? I’ve already chosen to go, seeing as Meadhbh still needs her big brother. After all, she’s gotta have someone to take her frustrations out on.” Sun said with a small grin.

“I will go home; reason being is when I get back I plan on getting DRUNK OFF MY ASS!” Moon stated.

“Not me. I’m never touching another drop of alcohol as long as I live.” Sun said seriously.

“Thats what they all say, yet I can get them to drink.” Moon laughed.

“I’m serious Moon. Never again.” Sun deadpanned.

“Come on, we need to party when this is over, I mean--hey is that the necklace I bought?” Moon asked.

“Uh, not sure. Dad?” Sun deflected.

“Yes, this is it. Here you go, Moon.” Artemis said placing the necklace around Moon’s neck “And Sun, I think its time for a certain filly to go to bed.”

“You heard him Sun, time for you to go to bed.” Moon said with a chuckle.

“I think he meant you, Moon. You’re the filly, I’m a mare.” Sun stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

“What, no he did not!” Moon shouted.

“Dad? Who is going to bed? Me, or Moon? And where are we staying?”

“Well, Sun’s room is next to mine, and Moony, it’s time for bed.” Artemis said

“Told you. And thanks, dad.” Sun said with a small smile, briefly embracing Artemis before trotting to the room next door.

“Wait, what, no way! I am not going to bed right now, I am already stuck in these pajamas!” Moon pouted.

“DO IT OR I STICK YOU IN ANOTHER DRESS IN FRONT OF SWEEPIE BELL!” Sun declared from her room.

“Sun I would not try that if I was you; with alicorn fillies their magic sometimes is connected with their emotions.” Artemis warned.

“The only way I will go to bed is if you drag me there a-”

“Oh hey Solaris.” Sun said with a smug grin, peeking her head out the door to see Moon’s reaction.

“Hey, look at the time I was just going to bed.” Moon said nervously, before taking off in a random direction at a gallop.

“Wow. Didn’t think she’d move that fast.” Sun chuckled.

“And she is going to Moon’s bedroom.” Artemis laughed, “Lets just hope that she does not wet the bed.”

“Yeah.” Sun concurred, turning back to her own room. “Night dad.”

“Goodnight Sun.”
