It Could Always Be Worse,And It Is

“Well, daddy needs to talk to Dusk Shine, so I trust that you will behave for Rising Sun.” Prince Solaris said, patting Falling Moon on the head, after which the Prince and Dusk Shine went into a room where a spell was cast so that they could not hear any noise.

“This can not be real Ste-I mean Rising Sun.” Falling Moon said.

“Actually, it can. I mean, I always believed in the multiverse theory, so I suspected this place existed.” Rising Sun replied.

“I told you about that dumbflank” Falling Moon said, hitting Rising Sun in the leg.

“No, we discussed it. I knew about it before we ever met, remember? It was the reason we became friends in the first place! Because we both believed in the existence of alternate universes.” Sun retorted.

“No, I thought it was because we were the only bronies in school so we caught crap.” Falling Moon said.

“Moon, how long have we been friends for?” Sun asked.

“If I remember, since kindergarden.” Falling Moon thought for a second.

“Right, and MLP has been out for around three years. Therefore, we’ve been friends since before MLP, so it was clearly not because we were bronies.” Sun stated.

“Well not really, since the eighties, but that is counting the first generation.” Falling Moon added with a smirk.

“Except I never saw the first generation, the only version of MLP I know is Friendship is Magic.” Sun replied.

“So what do we do then? I mean heck, apparently our rule 63 selfs existed in this world so what now?” Falling Moon asked worriedly while her wings popped open, much to Sun’s amusement.

“Dude, I don’t know how to say this, so I’ll just say it. WINGBONER!” Sun said, rolling around on the floor laughing so hard her sides started to hurt.

“Shut up ok, you pompous ass. This is freaking serious, we need to figure out what to do right now!” Falling Moon said, getting irritated.

“Sorry, sorry. But you know how I react to stress. I laugh about everything until I calm down.” Sun replied after a few minutes getting the chuckles out of her system.

“WELL COME ON, WE NEED TO THINK WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?!” Falling Moon yelled while her voice cracked at the last word.

“Alright, alright. Moon, it’s going to be fine. We’re going to get home, I promise.” Sun assured her.

“What if we can’t? Then what? Tell me! I had a life,a beautiful girlfriend, a job, and everything and now it’s all gone forever! Everybody I knew, I wont see them again. My parents, I won’t get to see any of them ever again, so how are we going to be fine!” Falling Moon, asked tearing up a little while her ears drooped.

Sun scooped her up and started rubbing a hoof up and down her back as she sobbed. “Moon, I honestly don’t know. But I will get us home, I swear, and nothing will stop me.” She said, trying to hold back her own tears.

“I-I just wish I could at least see my mother again, or anybody, even my sister. And I hate her.” Falling Moon said in between sobs.

“Moon, you remember those fanfics we read? How anytime someone ended up in Equestria, they found themselves with a purpose?” Sun asked.

“You know you are making us sound gay, but not always, in most of them the people were either beaten or never got to go back home but what are we going to do?” Falling Moon asked again barely calming down.

“Well, I’m leaving it up to you. My idea is we come clean and tell Solaris and hope he can help us figure this out. But I want your opinion on this.” Sun said seriously.

“He will think we are freaking crazy. Any other options?” Falling Moon added

“Option two is that we try and figure a way home by ourselves, the cons of which are that it could take years to find out.” Sun said sadly.

“So what do we do until then?” Falling Moon asked ever so slightly with a squeak.

“We try and act like our OCs would and hope nopony figures it out, that is, if we decide to keep it a secret.” Sun stated.

“My OC is a sweet and partially innocent little colt.” Falling Moon said.

“And mine is a trained assassin, so I guess we have to go with it for now.” Sun said.

“Wait, do you mean I have to call him daddy? If so, I am going to lose my mind.” Falling Moon said.

“Dude, remember Knight doesn’t even have parents, and I’m guessing that Sun doesn’t either, so actually having somepony to call dad, especially the Prince, is technically a good thing, at least as long as we’re here.” Sun replied, smiling a little.

“But it feels degrading doing that, and it will kill me a little on the inside.” Falling Moon reiterated

“You mean like how I did when Meadhbh disowned me as her brother?” Sun stated.

“So what you’re saying is that I have to call him ‘daddy’, does that sum it up?” Falling Moon asked while shuffling nervously.

“Well, would you be more comfortable calling him ‘dad’ or ‘father’ or something?” Sun inquired.

“Nope, I don’t want to do either.” Falling Moon said.

“What about calling him ‘old man’? That’s a term for father, right?”

“Tell you what, I will go along with it, BUT, you have to do something for me.” Falling Moon said with a sly grin.

“No problem. Name your price.” Sun said without fear.

“I want two things to be exact, no, three things/” Falling Moon added with an evil grin.

“Fine, just name them.” Sun said less excitedly.

“Well one, I want you to get me something, a present. Surprise me. Two, I will ask a favor of you at any time and you can’t say no. And three, I want you to somehow go on a date with one of the main six of this world.” Falling Moon said while she bounced around.

“Fine. Any particular member you want me to take on a date.”

“Honestly, I don't care, it’s your choice, but it has to be a double date, if you understand, and all three of you have to go home together.” Falling Moon said.

“Sounds like you want to stay up all night listening, ya little peeper.” Sun replied with a small smirk.

“Ok, gross, you need to watch how you talk around a filly, and i just insulted myself.” Falling Moon said, facehoofing.

“Could be worse. If we’re here for years, then I’ll be going through, ‘things’, come springtime. It’s gonna suck if we don’t get home before then.” Sun said nervously.

“Ha you mean your period jokes on you” Falling Moon added.

“Ponies don’t have periods dumbass, they go into heat!” Sun retorted angrily.

“Ha, it really sucks to be you then.” Falling Moon said, bursting into a fit of giggles like a filly.

“Yeah, I’m definitely gonna enjoy watching you suffer when yours comes around, Moony.” Sun retorted.

“Just shut up, I hope we are not here that long, it would suck.” Falling Moon stated while she was pouting.

“Like I said, I promised to get us home no matter what. That means if I can’t find out on my own, I’ll recruit your help, and if we can’t do it together, we’ll just keep getting help until we succeed.” Sun stated seriously.Just then Falling Moon was picked up and hugged.

“Ok Moon, daddy has to leave now, I will see you later.” Prince Solaris said putting her down on the ground while Rising Sun shot her a look.

Falling Moon sucked it up “Ok, see you soon daddy” She said while not trying to kill herself in the process. Prince Solaris left after a few good minutes.

“Aww, are you a daddy’s filly.” Sun snickered, receiving a hit in the leg for his troubles.

“Just shut the hell up.” Falling Moon said

“Language Moon. Remember, ix-nay on the earing-sway in front of usk-Day.” Sun replied.

“I dont bucking care right now, hell this sucks!” Falling Moon complained.

“Sorry about her Dusk, she’s a little steamed cause I won’t teach her how to wield a sword.” Sun said, rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.

“That is a lie!” Falling Moon replied to him

“Well, don’t talk like that or else.” Dusk warned the filly.

“Don’t worry Dusk, she’ll behave. She kinda doesn’t have any other options, do you Moony.” Sun said, giving Falling Moon a look.

“Call me that again and see what I do next.” Falling Moon threatened Sun.

“Try it and I accelerate your growth so you go through, ‘that’, tomorrow.” Sun retaliated.

“I will hurt you if you don’t shut the hell up right now!” Falling Moon was threatening.

“Moon, enough. Yelling isn’t going to get us home!” Sun yelled, before covering her mouth at what she just said.

“Don’t yell at her like that Rising Sun, what has gotten into you? She is just a helpless filly.” Dusk partially scolded Sun.

“Ya, don’t yell at me!” Falling Moon said standing next to Dusk Shine.

“I’m sorry. Excuse me, I need to be alone.” Sun replied before walking out the door, with Falling Moon walking behind her.

“Wow, I bet that sucked, you got yelled at or lectured, I think this place is messing with my mind and memory.” Falling Moon said

“Moon, go back to the library. I want to be alone for a minute.” Sun said sternly.

“Hey, if we are stuck here a while then I am going to make the best of it and be as adorable as possible.” Falling Moon stated.

“I SAID GO BACK!” Sun yelled again, before finishing with a quiet “Please, just leave me alone.” and walking off.

“No I will not, thank you very much.” Falling Moon said to her while trying to keep up.

“Fine, then I’ll send you back myself.” Sun retorted, before teleporting Moon right back into the library, where she promptly fell on Dusk’s head.

“Ok, ouch, that hurt.” Dusk said.

“Just shut up Dusk.” Falling Moon said bluntly. when suddenly a pink stallion popped out of nowhere

“Oh hey Princess Falling Moon where did you disappear to last night we were looking everywhere for you we searched over and over and over and over and over and over again” Bubble Berry said only scaring Falling Moon when he came out of nowhere which ended up with her screaming

“What, we're, why, you, pinkie, toast...” Falling Moon was stammering

“Great Bubble Berry you scared her so bad she is stammering” Dusk said
