"MARE DO WELL!!!" Luna was almost trampled by the young trio, who passed right by the pegasus just to jump on her.

"Wow, that was so cool!"
"Your clothes are so dense, how can you move like that in them?"
"It was Awesome! Erhn... I mean, awesome like Rainbow. Yep!"

The fillies, who, if the princess's memories didn't fail, was Apple Bloom, Sweet Belle, and Scootaloo, proceed to talk over each other with sets of compliments and admirations. However the etiquette towards the Princess of the Night was falling a bit, she actually liked. She ever preferred a more informal interaction. But the name they called her... Who was Mare do Well?

"Okay, okay girls! Give some space to the heroine!" Rainbow Dash gently pulled the trio with her good wing, resulting in a synced deception moan. "But I need to say... Mare do Well, that was really, REALLY AWSOME!"

The pegasus took advantage to grab Luna's hooves and shake them, while the fillies in other hand started to yelling.

"Ehh?! Not fair Rainbow! You are monopolizing her!"
"Yeah! We want Mare do Well to know our names too!"
"NOT AWESOME!!"

Luna, just as confused as some minutes ago, started to open her mouth to question the quartet. She just found strange the younger ones calling her by nicknames, but Rainbow Dash too? And where did that Mare do Well thing came from? But before any sound could be done, a strong aroma of ozone filled the air, and with it a loud bang as lightning struck not far from them, revealing a new pegasus present there.

She immediately recognizes the stallion, he was one of Shadow Blaze's companions. His sun yellow fur and cyan mane, just like Rainbow Dash fur, was semi hidden by a Wonderbolt's uniform. That didn't make any sense, he shouldn't be part of the group.

"Lightning-"
"WONDERBOLT!!!" Luna felt like she was reliving the last few moments a second time, watching the trio, now accompanied by the older pegasus, advance into the poor stallion like the last honey pot in the shelf.

Holding a frustrating sigh, she just walked away from the commotion, taking advantage of the opportunity to get her thoughts in line. She took another step. This time, she felt something out of place: a black jewel, the same one the mysterious pony, gave her, was now in her hooves. She cold swear that she has put it with her tactile telekinesis under one of her wings when she raced to save the fillies.

One more time, she analyzed the stone on her hooves, staring at herself in the reflection while thinking. Would that be the key for everything strange happening right now?

"Sensei, are you okay?" Lightning Dash had finally got a break from his admirers, and approached the alicorn while whispering. "Rainbow got a little scratch. I intend to get her on the hospital right now, but..."

In a snap Luna returned to reality. Returning the jewel to it’s place under her wing, and making sure it would stay there this time. So she moved her attention back to the quartet. The cyan pegasus was clearly in pain, while acting tough for younger girls. She should be brought to a medic fast.

"Yes, sure." She approved Lightning's judgment, approaching Rainbow while casting a spell on her hurt wing. Immediately she showed signals of relaxing. "That should stop the bleeding for now. Sorry for failing to protect you, Miss Dash."

"Ah, don't worry! I'm quite resilient. I could still take care of fifteen more timberwolves with a wing strapped to my back!"

"I would never doubt" Lightning Dash laughed a little, approaching along with Luna. "But the battle had ended, and you miss, need medic attention. I will escort you to the hospital asap! Don't worry, Mare do Well will escort these young fillies home!"

He didn't gave her a chance to protest, immediately taking Rainbow Dash up his back and taking flight. "See you in HQ sensei!" He last said while disappearing like a thunder, leaving Luna and the youngest behind.

"Mare do Well, what that word Wonderbolt calls you means?"

"Hm?" She moved her sight to the trio, who already started their way back to Ponyville, all with curious eyes set on the alicorn. Soon her horn gleamed, levitating the fillies and keeping them close to herself. Then she flap her wings, flying with them above the trees. That way they would arrive faster. "It means teacher. It's a dialect from a distant land."

"It's where you and the Harmony League came?"

Luna raised an eyebrow. Things got more confusing the longer she spent there. Mare do Well, Lightning wearing a wonderbolt uniform and calling her sensei... Wait, how did he know that word? And the daughters now questioned the land she came from...

"No, that place is almost with no reach. But, you should know that I reside in Canterlot Castle, no?"

"A castle?! SO AWSOME!!"
"A castle? A little old-fashioned.. erh, not that I think it's really bad.”
"Hmn .. but where is Canterlot?"

Author's Note

Hey guys, and wow a whole year has passed. I confess I wasn't expecting to be so late to post this next chapter. A lot of things have happened, and my PC just died on me and a considerable portion of the first version of For the Moon's Plead with it. Still saving some money for a new one, but for now I am writing by hand and posting in my cellphone. Something I simply hate. Thanks to the corrector I need to proofread everything I write twice as much. Well the good news is that this will not happen again. There's some chapters just needing revision, and soon will be posted. Sorry Dillena, more work to you, darling.

Well, good reading and good bye!
