Chapter 4: Family Reunion

Crescent was the first to wake up, again, he looked over to see Luna sleeping next him with a smile on her face. Crescent relieved a sigh of passion as he got off the bed and walked into his room, he looked at his calender and gave a heavy sigh. "So, it's that day already huh?" He smile turned to wither as he took another pair of clothes and walked inside the shower. He turned the valve to find a shocking surprise, the water was cold, Crescent quickly leaped out of the shower and started to shiver with antonym scalding water. "Ahhhhhh!!! COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COOOOLLLLDD!!!!" He screamed in stinging pain as he ran out of his shower. "Good god that is cold!"

Luna burst through Crescent's door with worry as Crescent quickly noticed her presence. Crescent forgot that he was... present in his form, he quickly reached out for the nearest towel and shrouded his area to prevent any more embarrassing moments. "Ah! L-Luna, please, don't you know how to knock!?" Crescent screamed in embarrassment as Luna flared up and hid her eyes with her hoof.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry Crescent, I-I-I-I heard a scream and I thought you were in trouble."

"Hang on, lemme get some clothes out, please keep your eyes closed." Luna followed as Crescent quickly grabbed his jeans and zipped them on. He also grabbed a random T-shirt from his drawer and put it on. "Okay, your good. You can look now."

Luna let go of her shielded hoof as she could see a fully clothed Crescent. "Oh thank goodness, I am most sorry Crescent."

"Don't worry you didn't know. It was just a cold shower and I jumped out of there."

"Why was the shower cold?"

"I don't really know, ah well I can take one tonight." He calmly said as he reached over to his drawers and pulled out a silver tall bag. "Hey Luna, I'm going to go somewhere and I kinda need to do this alone, do you mind if you stay here for a bit."

"No, not at all, I can stay here."

"Thanks Luna, also could you please leave my room? I need to change." He stated as he started to blush a little.

"O-Oh yes, of course." She clarified as she started to walk out the room, then she could see in the corner of her eye, a calender with red Xs and one single O, it was on today's date. She walked out his room and closed the door and trotted around the house. I wonder where he has to go?

I do not know, did you see his calender, there was a few markings as if it was counted down.

I must check on him.

But your magic and leg is injured.

I don't know, I don't feel any more pain. Luna said to herself as she concentrated on her horn, it started to shimmer as she picked up a nearby apple. Okay, basic spell, transformation. The apple flashed as it was soon replaced with an orange, she peeled the orange as she lucked a slice and ate it. Mmmm, success. But what of my real power? She asked herself as she quickly walked inside her room and closed the door. She slowly unwrapped her bandages as they became cool with breeze. Goodness that feels good. She said as she stretched her body and sat on her haunches. Her horn glimmered as the door locked and several objects began to swirl around her. Now for the real test. She said to herself as her eyes beamed heavenly white and a white bubble shield surrounded herself.

Luna woke up in a different world, she could see two massive oval like circles both with moving images. She walked up to the open ovals as she could see a road with a dark shade of black shrouding it. This must be Crescent's eyes. He's going somewhere. Luna thought to herself as she walked away from the eyes and suddenly found herself in Crescents home. I'm back? That's not possible, I-

"Hey Loan....I uh....I got bad news..." Luna looked at the corner of the wall as she could see Crescent talking on his small device, she could hear a voice, an older female voice coming from the device.

"Yea what is it?"

"It's mom, I....she...she's....she won't make it to your grand opening..." He said with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Wait...no...please no...she can't... she just..." She sounded broken.

"Just come over, I already told Don and he's on his way. He had the same reaction."

"..."

Crescent set down his device as he walked into the next room, there laid an elderly man with tears rapidly rolling down his cheeks as his eyes became red. "Hey dad, I know it's sad that mom's dead, trust me, everyone's depressed."

"Son.." He spoke in a weak tone. "I'm proud that you decided to stay with me. I knew that you were my favorite. I promise you, one day I will free you from this home. I always wanted you to follow your dreams....but I always slowed you down. I promise you that I will break you from our wasteland of a home. I promise you" He slowly gave a long breath as he looked at his son. "But one last thing son, your mother, she wanted you to have her amulet. The crescent moon one, she always said "If this moon is special from the others, then it should go to someone who is special."" His father repeated as he gave a small cough. "Promise me son, that you will find that special someone, and give that person this amulet. I don't care if he's gay, or a best friend, just please promise me.."

"I promise dad, I promise."

Luna couldn't help but place a hoof on her mouth in shock. Suddenly, in a flash of light, she could find herself in the same room. Except it looked older, the wallpaper was scrapped, chipped, and or ripped. The floor boards were even missing some plank. But then Luna saw Crescent as he started to weep painfully on the same bed his father was on. His father laid on his bed, his hands were together as they both laid on his stomach. No movement, no noise, not even a voice slipped through him, just utter silence and peace."Noooooooooo!!!" Crescent cried through sobs as his father was thought to be asleep. "Dad, please don't go! PLEASE!!!"

There was no response, Luna walked over to Crescent to try and place a hoof on him for comfort. But her hoof simply fazed through his body making him feel nothing. Crescent stood up as he ran through Luna and stormed out the door, the depressing rain poured on him as they tried to mask his tears. Crescent continued to sprint as Luna followed, he reached the nearest liquor store as bought a massive bottle full of tequila. He ran outside as Crescent completely chugged it down and fell to the floor, having his forehead bleed. "Quick, call 911!!!" The cashier screamed in horror as a white and red box like vehicle drove in and and took Crescent away.

My goodness, Crescent never told me he had to suffer through this. Luna said as the setting changed, she now found herself back outside, but this time, she could see Crescent wearing a nice suit. She could see that he was standing in front 4 tombstones, each labeled with Different names, but all the same last names. Is this his... She paused as she looked over to two different tombstones, both read Don and Loan, Luna had heard these names. These must be his older siblings, I feel awful for Crescent, for what he's been through.

"Hey guys, it's me again. Happy birthday to... me again..."

W-What? H-His...his birthday is today?

Crescent looked over to his mother's and father's graves, he gave a sly grin at it as he placed a flat hand on his chest in respect. "Hey mom, hey dad, I think I found that special somebody to give the amulet to, she's not...human.... she's something more. She's a pony name Luna, and she's from a whole 'nother world, and she's a princess. She's nice, funny, and she's really caring, plus we have something that we love in common, the dark skies, the stars, and the moon. She...she like... completes me, y'know?" He finished as he looked over to his sibling's graves. "Hey Don, I bet you're partying hard up there eh? Well, I've been taking your advice, treat my life like a video game, going 100% synchronization, it's sorta working out, but I can't say that's it's working well." He said with a sheepish grin as he cleared his throat. "Loan, I've been working hard just like you told me too, and the restaurant's been doing great, they just got another deal and they're gonna open another one in New York. Business is good there, it's almost like they don't need my help anymore, which is good." He finished as he dropped to his knees and masked his face with his hands as small drops of sadness and depression skimmed through his fingers.

Luna could feel nothing but feel pity for the human, suddenly a flash like beat pulsed through her ear as she found herself outside. She could feel the rain touch her, and hear sounds of shatter and depression. Standing in front of her was the Crescent that was weeping over his family's grave. "C-Crescent?" Crescent flinched as he faced towards Luna, she was standing right there in front of him. He became shocked, her bandages were gone and she was out of the house.

"L-Luna, why are you-" Crescent was interrupted as Luna wrapped her arms around the human with care and pity. "L-Luna, please tell me, why and how did you get here?" He asked through shock as Luna couldn't help but cry for the human. She stood up as she wiped off any remained tears.

"I saw something marked on your calender and you looked different. So I used my magic and went inside your mind, and please forgive me but, I saw your memories. After that I teleported here because I care for you... Crescent please forgive me I-" Luna was interrupted as Crescent pressed his lips on Luna's. She could feel Crescent's tongue prod and swerve along with Luna's tongue as she returned the gesture and played along. Crescent released his mouth as they both breathed heavily for air, Crescent looked through Luna's turquoise eyes as he smiled.

"Thank you."
