It Could Always Be Worse,And It Is

Falling Moon had awoke the next morning stretching her wings after she hopped off her bed letting out a yawn in the process.

“Great I hoped it was all a bad dream, but, i am a filly and that sucks.” she said to herself while walking down stairs.

“Oh umm good morning Moon i hope i did not wake you up, Im sorry if i did.” Said a shy voice.

“No you did not... Ummm....?” Falling Moon said trying to think of the pony’s name.

“Moon are you ok? Its me, Butterscotch.” Butterscotch said to the filly.

“Yeah, I am fine Butterscotch, but where did Dusk go?” The filly asked curious while looking around the library.

“Oh um he went to help Bubble Berry with something.” Butterscotch said to the small filly.

“Well what is it what is he helping him with?” Falling Moon was now questioning Butterscotch.

“Oh, I can't tell you I’m sorry.” He apologized.

“Why not?” The filly asked giving the cutest pair of puppy dog eyes ever, forcing Butterscotch to use the stare on her.

“Sorry I did that but i was asked not to tell you” Butterscotch said while Falling Moon was shaking. Butterscotch noticed he had scared the poor filly and hugged her.

“Put me down, now!” Falling Moon demanded while pushing Butterscotch away.

After two hours Dusk Shine came back to pick up Falling Moon. He picked her up with is magic, so she wouldn’t have to walk.

“Hey put me down I can walk by myself, I am not some helpless little child.” Falling Moon complained.

“Calm down, I just felt like a princess like you, should not have to walk.” Dusk said with a little smile, and continued on walking.

“Just put me down, I can walk on my own geez.” Falling Moon said with an angry face.

“Oh fine, but remember when your feet start to hurt, it was your idea.” Dusk said.

“They won’t hurt you jackflank.” Falling Moon said with a sadistic smile on her face.

“Ok Moon calm down, you are going to like this surprise!”Dusk said with a little secret smile.

“Fine but if that Bubble Berry pony jumps out of a cake again I am going to hurt him.” Falling Moon stated rather seriously.

“Oh, come on you know he is just trying to make you laugh. After all, that is his specialty, is it not?” Dusk asked.

“Sure, but he doesn’t have to come out with a ton of balloons which eventually fall on my head, now does he?” Falling Moon said with a serious face.

“Well, I guess...” Dusk had realised he had been beaten in the word game by Falling Moon and has retreated.

“I told you” Falling Moon said with a little smile.

As the journey went on, the little filly became engulfed in boredom, and was searching for new ways to entertain herself.

“How about we play “Hoof, Pony, Haystack?” Falling Moon Suggested.

“No Moon, we can’t stop now to play that silly game!” Dusk told the filly.

“Who said it was silly?! I for one think it’s educational!” Falling Moon said.

“Educational my flank! Look, the more we focus on the travel the faster we’ll get there, okay?” Dusk said.

“Okay....” Said Falling Moon with a little sad face.

Several minutes later

“Duuuuuuuuuuuuuusk!!! I’M BOOOOOOOOOOOOORED!” Falling Moon said with a following massive yawn.

“Oh come on princess, we’re almost there!”

“Can’t we just play something now?” Falling Moon said, using her brutal tactic. The puppy dog eyes!

Eventually, even Dusk has fallen victim to the puppy dog eyes.
“Fine, we can play. But what?” Dusk said.

“Oooh! We can go into that forest, it looks so much fun!” Falling moon said with a little glitter in her eyes.

“That’s the Everfree forest, I don’t think we should go in there”Dusk said to her

“THAT’S the Everfree?.” Falling Moon exclaimed

Falling Moon then recalled the events of how she even got there, and remembered the house she stayed in, which was in the Everfree forest.

“You know what, I swiped a deck of cards from Butterscotch, we can have some fun with that.” Said Falling Moon with a worried face.

“No! How much longer is it to sweet apple acres?” Falling Moon whined.

“Not much you said you can walk, so, you can walk, or i can carry you the rest of the way.” Dusk said to the filly.

“Fine just carry me the rest of the way, I am getting lazy now!” Falling Moon said with a bit of sarcasm.

After about an hour of walking Dusk and Falling Moon arrived at Sweet Apple Acres where Applejack was waiting, when they got in the barn everypony in Ponyville shouted

SURPRISE!

The filly jumped about twenty feet in the air, her eyes wide seeing that it was a welcome to ponyville party.

“Uhh thanks everypony.” Falling Moon said still unsure how to feel about the situation.

“Ohohohohohohohohohohoh come on lets play some party game come on” Bubble Berry said bouncing the whole time.

After a while of party games Falling Moon saw something that made her want to kill herself it was the CMC but they were colts when one of them came up

“Hi Princess Falling Moon my name is Sweepie Bell nice to meet you.” He said to Falling Moon and invited her to go and meet him and his friends.
______________________________________________________________________________

After a few hours the party was over everypony had left even the CMC Dusk Shine picked Falling Moon up and placed the filly on his back and started heading back home

“That party was actually fun so i am shocked” Falling Moon said laying her head down

“Yes, party’s are his talent Moon, I thought i said that already” Dusk said to the filly

“Ya you did i just did not expect it to be that fun you know?” Falling Moon said to him while star gazing.

“Ya, I know. Heck you lucky right now” Dusk said

“What do you mean lucky?” Falling Moon asked while cocking an eyebrow

“Come on lets get you into bed” Dusk said while walking into the library

“What no way i am not going to bed” Falling Moon agrued

All the while she was not paying attention and was being tucked in bed while she was protesting

“Yes come on go to bed” Dusk said to her

“No i am not going to bed like some little kid” Falling Moon argued

“Yes you are it past your bedtime and it is time for all fillies to go to bed” Dusk said to her Falling Moon looked at the clock seeing it was only 9:30pm

“No way i am not going to bed like some five year old” Falling Moon retoriated

“Yes and you have been up a hour later then you should have its past your bedtime now go to sleep little filly” Dusk said scolding the filly

“But-” she did not get to finish before Dusk interrupted her

“I don't want to hear it, it is past your bedtime now go to sleep am i under stood” Dusk scolded while he plugged something in he then walked out of the room turning the light out and closing the door

After a little bit the shock left from Falling Moon she looked around to see a dim light when she looked what it was she noticed it was a night light with added to her being a filly

“Wait a second apparently i am a five year old filly great i am little this can't get any worse” Falling Moon said to herself until she saw the night light was shaped like a heart a pink heart she then saw her bed sheets they were frilly and lacy as hell she decided just to go to bed so tomorrow would come faster
______________________________________________________________________________

Falling Moon had awoken the next day stretching she walked over and unplugged that night light when Dusk came in to wake her up he noticed she was unplugging the night light

“Good morning Moon, I take it you slept well.” Dusk said, sneaking up on the filly.

Falling Moon screamed jumping a few feet into the air, before turning to face Dusk with an angry glare. “Didn’t anypony teach you not to sneak up on ponies? It’s not nice!” Falling Moon stated.

“I’m sorry, but Rising Sun didn’t show up for the party last night, and she wasn’t here this morning. Do you have any ideas where she may have gone?” Dusk asked.

“No, I don’t, last I saw she was storming out of here yesterday.” Falling Moon said

“That reminds me, I had some time to think about yesterday. What did she mean about getting you home?” Dusk asked suspiciously.

Falling Moon froze a little at this. “N-nothing, she was helping me with something from a play she was writing!” Falling Moon was lying through her teeth.

“Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.” Dusk replied humorlessly.

“What does that mean?” Falling Moon asked.

“It means you’re lying, Moon. Do you want to come clean, or will I get your father over here to get to the bottom of this?” Dusk warned.

“I am not lying I swear.” Falling Moon stated.

“Fine, then I guess you won’t mind me finding Rising Sun and bringing her to see your father, will you?” Dusk stated as he turned to walk out the door.

“Trust me, you would think we are crazy.” Falling Moon mumbled.

“Moon, if you really think that, then you don’t know me as well as you think.” Dusk replied.

Falling Moon took a deep breath, dreading the next few minutes. “Well, me and Rising Sun are not from this world. We are from a different place called earth. Our real names are Damian and Stephen, we are best friends, and we are both males. We have known each other since kindergarten. Happy now that you know?” Falling Moon said while Dusk started laughing at her.

“Ok so what is this script a comedy?” Dusk asked while laughing.

“You think he’s joking? I thought you were smarter than that Dusk Shine.” Came a voice from the door.

“Where did you go? You know what, I don't care.” Falling Moon said as she hugged Rising Sun.

“Oh, you didn’t notice the new additions?” She asked playfully, motioning to her sides. Moon’s eyes grew wide as she took in the sight before her.

“Are those....”Falling Moon began.

“Yup. pretty cool, huh?” Sun said proudly.

“I’ll say, I’ve never seen ones as , colourful, as those.” Dusk stated.

“Trust me, compared to greatswords, these are pretty small.” Sun replied as she drew the twin hoof and a half swords with her magic and spun them slowly.

“That is so cool.” Falling Moon exclaimed.

“Yeah, well I got you a little something too, Moon.” Sun said, smiling as she levitated a short sword over to Falling Moon.

“Wow, thanks. This is so sweet.” Falling Moon stated while her horn was glowing and shooting sparks out of itself.

“RISING SUN! HOW DARE YOU BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE AS TO GIVE A DANGEROUS WEAPON TO A FILLY! I SHOULD T-” Dusk began, only to be cut off.

“Sorry, but this is his sword. It was in the room we woke up in. same with the two strapped to my side.” Sun retorted with a small smirk growing on her face.

“Don’t worry geez i can take care of myself i am not some li-”Falling Moon was cut off by Dusk glaring at her

“I don’t want to hear it you are still a filly so no you can not have something like that” Dusk said sternly.

“Dusk, do not try it. Take the blade, and it will not let you go unpunished.” Sun warned him.

“Moon, I think you and your father need to have a nice little chat.” Dusk said to her.

“Moon, you remember the deal we made?” Sun asked.

“Yes. Why?” Falling moon asked

“I don’t think we’re gonna be able to fulfill #3.” Sun replied.

“Ok, that is enough out of all of you.” A new voice stated.Falling Moon froze hearing that angry voice. ”Now Rising Sun she is still a little filly and should not have something like that, and Dusk Shine you did not need to overreact like that. Also, Falling Moon, I need to speak with you.” Solaris said.

“One, I’m guessing you already figured out what’s going on. Two, the blade is his by right, and as such, I cannot in good conscience keep it from him. And three, if you’re gonna talk to him,” Sun gave the Prince a look, “Then I’m gonna be there too. And you already know you’re not gonna talk me out of it.”

“No, I need to talk to my daughter in private.” Solaris said while Falling Moon was still frozen in place

“Listen to me, and listen well, old man,” Solaris frowned and raised an eyebrow in annoyance, “Moon and I have been friends for a long time. As such, we don’t keep secrets from each other, so if you have something to say to him, you have something to say to me too.”

“Well, I just wanted to let Moon know that I heard about some of the things she said and Princess Falling Moon, you are grounded for a week.” Solaris said.

“What did I do!?” Falling Moon asked

“A list of things that include: swearing, lying and plenty more so you are grounded little filly, I want to hear no more from you. Am I understood?” Solaris said in a matter of finality.

Falling Moon was biting her tongue to keep from going off, though Sun wasn’t so composed.

“But- Yes sir” Falling Moon said giving up

“God, I think you really missed the memo, Solaris. Moon, we’re heading out for training.” Sun stated, ignoring the rage-face growing bigger on Solaris muzzle.

“Well I don’t care right now, she is in trouble am I understood, Rising Sun?” Solaris said, barely keeping what little composure he had left.

“Um, I think, no.” Sun retorted, as she placed Moon on her back and started to leave, while Moon kept her head down.

“Rising Sun how about I show you something I know you will like?” Solaris said.

“Solaris, I’m only gonna say this once. I’m not interested in whatever you have to show me.” Sun replied with an air of finality.

“Not even if your parents left it for you?” Solaris asked

“No, I’m not. They’re not my real parents anyway.” She retorted.

“Let’s just leave already.” Falling Moon said in a low voice.

“You got it Moon.” Sun smirked just as her horn started to glow. Before anypony could stop them, they were gone, leaving a fuming Solaris standing in the library with a terrified Dusk Shine.
______________________________________________________________________________

“I hate it here already, I thought I could at least make the best of this, but I can't.” Falling Moon stated.

“Moon, I promised to get us home, remember? You still have to tell your parents about that car you won, right? You kept bragging about how their jaws were gonna drop and your sister was gonna piss herself.” Sun said with a laugh.

“Ya, I guess but at least you can use magic, right now I can’t do anything. I am one useless alicorn.” Falling Moon said depressed, before receiving a light smack on the head from Sun.

“Don’t ever say you’re useless. Who’s the one that pulled me out of that wreck when we were 16? Who helped me ask a girl out for the first time? Who got me laid in ten seconds flat?” Sun inquired.

“I did.” Falling Moon said, ”But you ever hit me again and I will break your horn off and shove it somewhere.” She finished saying.

“And who was the one that took a bullet for me and just laughed at the guy who was the one that decided to be a hero during a bank robbery?” Sun kept asking.

“I was.” Falling Moon said cheering up a little

“Damn straight you were. So never say you’re useless. Besides, I can teach you a trick to learning magic if you want?” Sun offered.

“I am fine. Heck, either way I am going to have to learn it.” Falling Moon said.

“Um, I’m confused. Was that a yes or a no?” Sun asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I guess yes and no.” Falling Moon said.

“I see. Well, I’ll at least give you the basics of what I did. All you need to do, is clear your mind, and try to find something that wasn’t there when you were human.” Sun began.

“You somehow knew how to use magic when we came here.” Falling Moon said

“Nah, I just read a lot of fanfiction and tried some stuff until it worked.” Sun replied sheepishly.

“Ugg, I think this place is messing with my head.” Falling Moon stated

“Same here. I’m feeling kinda dizzy. Good thing we’re almost at the room, huh? This forest is starting to seem a lot more menacing than before.”

“No, I mean like I act like the age I currently am. I can’t even act like the age I was. Why the heck am i a filly anyway? That makes no sense!” Falling Moon inquired.

“Well, like we said before, multiverse theory. This is a reverse gender universe.” Sun said in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Yes, I know that retard, but why am I a filly I mean age wise you are a full grown mare but I am a freaking five year old filly just like the CMC.” Falling Moon said.

“Well, how old was Shooting Star, and how old was Rising Knight?” Sun asked.

“Oh, I see what you’re getting at. Well, it still sucks they treat me like a child.” Falling Moon said.

“Ok, well how about this. As long as we’re here, I refuse to treat you as anything other than my friend and fellow adult. How’s that sound dude?” Sun offered, just as they reached the room.

“That sounds good i guess or think UGGGG THIS IS IRRITATING, BEING A FILLY, BEING TREATED LIKE A FILLY! I HATE THIS SO MUCH!” Falling Moon shouted

“I know Moon. So, I guess we’re hiding out for now, huh?” Sun said sadly.

“Ya, or until the guard comes and gets us.” Falling Moon stated

“They can try. Oh, right! There’s one more thing I didn’t tell you about learning to control my magic. My body’s instincts helped.” Sun admitted.

“Lets just sit back and relax a little while.” Falling Moon said opening a bottle of whiskey from the mini bar.

“Sounds good to me, but if you don’t mind, I’ll avoid alcohol for now. After all, don’t wanna get wasted and wake up in R63 Zecora’s bed, do I?” Sun laughed.

“Ya, but I kind of want to-”Falling Moon said spitting the whiskey out.

“Dude, you ok? Something wrong?” Sun asked concernedly.

“What the hell, that tastes disgusting.” Falling Moon exclaimed

“Uh, Moon, I think your new body is literally rejecting alcohol before it even gets swallowed. That means you’re gonna have to get used to it all over again.” Sun explained.

“No, I drank it but it tasted gross.” Falling Moon said.

“I think that with your new body how you said you think that its messing with your mind well i think that you can’t stand it were your so young” Sun said sheepishly

“Whatever i am going to try and sleep” Falling Moon said laying down in the bed
______________________________________________________________________________
It was around 3am when Falling Moon had awoke blinking her eyes and was now quivering in fear she noticed it was dark outside

“I-i-i’m scared” Falling Moon said tearing up”I-i am scared of the dark” Falling Moon said now sobbing into her pillow

Hey everypony what is going to happen now only i know but this is begining to get fun to write i am enjoying it
