Once in a Blue Moonby RIPTID3ChaptersSurprise! I'm sending you to the moon!Hoofston, We have a problem.Pwease Woona?Good... Night? Oh yea.What.GoodbyesSurprise! I'm sending you to the moon!You are, Whiplash. Your coat of fur is a fine shade of gold while your mane is a mixture of two streaks of colors, black and green. You are the God of Metal, not as well known as Celestia, but still, you're a god. Your an alicorn naturally, but you don't behave that way. Ohhhh no. You're not like the other gods. You like to have fun. And by fun, I mean cause trouble. You rarely ever visit Canterlot, but once in a while when Ol' 'Tia calls a meeting of the gods, you have no choice but to follow. But hey, at least you got to flirt with Princess Cadence while you were there. So anyways, You usually go about causing trouble throughout the town of Baltimare (You caused so much trouble that ponies started calling you Discord the second). You liked this kind of style and thought that all princes and princesses should behave a bit looser. Celestia didn't exactly agree. But hey, this was your city right? Your rules. Celestia's got no control over you here. At least, that's what you thought... So, there you were, sitting on your throne, in the castle as your legion of mares satisfied your every need. You were in no mood to go out and mess with the citizens, they didn't really care anyways.And after a while, their reactions to your chaos were starting to get a bit bland. "Guards, what's on my to-do list?" You yell A silver pegasus colt with a midnight blue mane approached you, a scroll under his leg. "Oh um, hi." "Riptide, how's it goin'?" You said In here, all the guards and staff were treated like friends unlike other guards who were treated like... Well, guards. Unlike other castles, ponies didn't need a specific color scheme to be able to work here. Neither was there a single restriction. Ponies of all age, whatever race, colts and mares, red or blue could join. "Um, yes, quite lovely." Riptide said in his British accent "So, got anything coming up?" You ask "Oh, yes. The other gods are coming over to make sure your workplace is a, eh... How would you say? Bearable." Riptide responded You almost leap out of your chair. Inspection was today?! Sure, Celestia had no power over you here, but a bunch of gods did. And if they failed you, you could end up with no power whatsoever. You'd be turned back into an earth pony and be treated like a joke. "Quick! Get the cleaning squad!" You yell "Um, sir... You gave them the day off." Riptide said "Well get them back here!" "But sir, you DEMANDED them to take a vacation. They're in Los Pegasus. They won't be able to make it back in time. The gods are coming in a few minutes." "I BLAME YOU!" You growl at RIptide "I'm sorry master!" Riptide said as he cowered in fear "Where's your pride?! Bah! I DON'T CARE. Get the whole staff dressed and lined up at the door. I'll take care of cleaning. We must make them feel welcomed, so welcomed they'll get creeped out and probably never come back!" You say 14 minutes later... You sat on your throne, waiting nervously, casting your gaze over every single staff member, making sure that everypony was in line and well attired. You were incredibly stressed, but you never let it show. You put on the most regal face you could make as you waited anxiously. *Knock Knock* A mare in a maid outfit opens the door, revealing three alicorns. One of these three alicorns was The lovely Princess Cadence. You flash her a wink and she waves in response, you've had a crush on her for as long as you could remember. But for whatever reason, she kept telling you that "You're not the one". How does she know? It's not like she's- Oh wait, she's the Goddess of Love. Next to her was Canyon, God of Earth. He was orange with a black mane. He was usually fairly serious with his work, unless he's around you. Then he'd occasionally tease you. You liked to make fun of him in return and occasionally try to get him to ease up a little only to fail miserably. You nod towards him and he gives you an impressed look. He probably couldn't believe that you'd cleaned up the castle for once. And last but definitely not least, was the sun goddess. Princess Celestia. She stood in the middle of both Cadence and Canyon. Her rainbow mane flowing ever so royally. "Celestia." You say "Whiplash. I didn't think you were capable of cleaning your castle, much less form a welcome committee as impressive as this." Celestia said as she gestured at all the servants in attendance "Why, it is inspection after all. Why wouldn't I clean up?" You say You silently prayed that your secret would not be blown. Cleaning this place up your way had it's ups and downs. It's advantages included convenience and speed. But on the downside... "What's wrong with the closet over there? The door looks like it's gonna come down any minute." Canyon said You panic. You were hoping that such a minor detail would've drawn little to no attention. Instead here it was, making a buzz. Drawing attention to itself with each passing second. You try to gain the attention of the gods and lure them away. "Nothing. It's just some old stuff." You say "Alright. Say, I'm hungry, shall we have lunch?" Canyon said The two princesses nodded. A couple of guards opened the door. You motion for the gods to enter. Canyon eyes you suspiciously at first but walks on. Cadence gave you a wink and Celestia nods at you approvingly. "I'm not all fun and games 'Tia." You said "We shall see." Was the response that came from the Goddess of the Sun. As you enter the banquet hall, Riptide flies up to you in his full set of silver armor complete with wave designs. "Sir, the door is going to burst at any second. We need to repair it." Rip says "Then fix it." You say "But we need to empty the contents." Riptide said You sigh in frustration. "Try to open the door SLOWLY." "Yes sir." Riptide says as he salutes and flies off You take one more quick glance at the scenery, everyone is still in position and everything seemed fine. Except for the closet. You enter the banquet hall and close the door behind you. You take a seat at the head of the table while Celestia sits at the opposite end. Canyon sat on your left, Cadence on your right. "I like what you've done with the place." Cadence said "Really?" You reply "Yea. At least now we won't have to wallow in the trash." Canyon said "Very funny." You say "Whiplash, I am impressed. Not only did you go out of your way to tidy up your home, but you also formed quite the welcome." Celestia said "Thank you Princess Celestia." You say Just then, some servants came and serve the food. Cadence had some maple carrots, Celestia had some potato and cabbage stew while Canyon had a plate full of pure diamonds (He is the God of Earth after all). "Perhaps I have thought of you wrongly Whiplash. At first I thought you were a juvenile delinquet who couldn't take his work seriously, now I see a little differently." Celestia said "Thanks." You say "Not only have you amazed us by your organization, but you also seem to-" Before Celestia could finish her sentence, something cut her off. "RUN! IT'S GONNA BLOW!" Riptide yelled Immediately the sound of glass shattering, metal smashing and tiles cracking was heard outside. Without even looking outside to inspect the damage, Celestia simply looked at you, an almost irrate expression on her face. "Spoke too soon." Canyon said "Whiplash, your punishment for failing inspection, is banishment." Celestia said "To where?" You asked "To the moon." Celestia replied Hoofston, We have a problem."Wait what?!" You exclaim "It is clear that you have failed to pass inspection and that we must banish you to the moon." Celestia said "FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS MY WISHES HAVE COME TRUE!" Canyon said You raise an eyebrow at him and so do the other two princesses. "Oh um... I meant to say sorry." Canyon said You pray to yourself that perhaps that noise was nothing but a mere vase break. "Celestia, you haven't even inspected the damage yet. We have to make sure that our information is correct now don't we?" You said Celestia raises an eyebrow in suspicion. "Very well. But if I find the damage too excessive, you WILL be sent to the moon. No trials." The sun goddess said You get off the chair and walk over to the door. You open it to find Riptide standing at the door way, his armor had dents all over it. "What's going on out there?" You ask "Well, everything was going fine until all of a sudden the door started creaking and soon enough it just exploded." Riptide said You curse. There was no one for you to blame. "Try and fix it." You said "How long do we have?" Riptide said "About fifteen seconds." You say "Clear the room in fifteen seconds?! That's bollocks!" "Do your best!" You close the door and turn around. Celestia had an expression on her face as if she had a battle of emotions going on in her head. "Maybe I was a bit harsh. Perhaps I can overlook this. After all you did try and for once-" Celestia said Before the alicorn could finish, there was a loud *BOOM* from outside as the walls rattled. Dust rained down on you all. Celestia closed her eyes and so did the others. Cadence sneezed. Canyon growled. When Celestia opened her eyes again. She was clearly irritated. "Someone just earned himself a trip to the moon." Celestia said "C'mon 'Tia, just give me one more chance, I can-" *Boop*. You find yourself on the moon, literally staring into space as you beg at empty air. "So much for mercy." You grumble You look around. The moon was literally a ball of dust and dirt. There was nothing and absolutely nothing around here. You decide to explore a bit. Maybe you'd find something interesting. Before you go off, you magnetize yourself to try and find any metal around you. Even underground, any kind of metal would immediately fly towards you if you magnetized yourself. Within seconds, two white circular objects fly out of nowhere and smash at your hooves. You use your magic and pick one of them up. Green light encases the object as you pick it up. Closer inspection revealed that it had a little hole with blue light coming out of it. You assumed this was it's eye. And around the rim of the eye were two handle-like things. "What are you?" You ask The object's eye dart back and forth before talking. It spoke with a British accent. "What? Where am I? Am I on the moon? Wasn't already sent there?" The object says It focuses it's eye on you and you can see it widen as soon as it did. "Oh! A sentient being! Finally some one can send me back! Oh, if you don't mind, could you perhaps just chuck me towards the little blue planet there? Yes, the one with green and white stuff on it, and by the way, name's Whe-" Before the thing could finish, you chuck it away. "Meh, reminds me of Riptide, but too annoying." You say to yourself You turn your attention to the second object. You pick it up and it stares at you with an orange eye as opposed to the other one. "Hello. And what kind of wisdom do YOU hold?" You say mockingly "Spacespacespace, spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!" The object says "Um, okay?" You say "I'm in space." "Me too buddy. Me too." You chuck it off into the never ending space of... well Space. You look around once more and magnetize again just to make sure. You end up with nothing except a faint signal of metal on the other half of the moon. In other words, the dark side of the moon. "Meh, nothing to do here anyways." You say You walk. No set destination in mind, only the faint signal of metal driving you on. Maybe there was some kind of robot on the other end. Or whatever. You continue walking. It was hard walking on the moon, it felt like you were going to fly off at any second. You pressed on and continued walking, even if you did look like a retard doing it. Eventually you arrived at the border where darkness turned to light. Literally is was just one straight line. You were standing on the safe reaches of the light. And on the other side... It was about 0.05% dimmer. "So much for the dark side." You mutter to yourself You take a hoof forward across the border. Unsurprisingly, no tentacle rape occurs. You continue walking forwards since you have nothing else to do anyways. The metal signal is stronger than ever. It doesn't take long for you to find it. Your little signal leads you to a cave. All you could see inside was darkness. You light up your horn and walk into the cave. Unaware of what dangers lay ahead. Or "lack of dangers" to be accurate. You walk through the mysterious cavern. Your horn acting as a torch. Throughout your whole search, you couldn't help but feel somepony watching you. Multiple times you turn around expecting to see a hideous creature ready to pounce and strip your flesh off your bones. But it never did happen. You were starting to get bored. No, wait... You WERE bored. You kick a wall out of frustration and the whole cavern shakes, threatening to come crashing down on you. "Okay, okay, that's a good wall. Not gonna hit you again." You say You sigh and turn around only to face a midnight blue alicorn mare with a flowing blue mane. She wore a black bib with a picture of the moon on it. Her cutiemark was a moon, but her hindquarters looked as if they'd been dipped in ink. "SPEAK THY INTENTIONS OR PERISH!" The alicorn mare says Author's Note Portal 2 reference. It was coming and you knew it. Pwease Woona?The alicorn mare lit up her horn and pointed it directly at you. She was a bit shorter than you, but she was still threatening enough. You decide to continue your usual clown ways. You put a hoof on her horn and push it down only to have it pop back in your face. "Stop that!" The mare said "No." "I demand you stop that so I can execute you!" "No." This continued for several minutes until the mare finally fired a shot of energy. You managed to push her horn away and see it fly through the roof of the cave, melting a hole. You can see the midnight blue beam of energy fly towards Equestria. "What have thee done?!" The mare said "Um... Uh, I did it for the lulz." You say Meanwhile... Down on Equestria, Celestia was sitting on her throne. still in a conflict of emotions. "Hmm, maybe I was a a bit too harsh on Whiplash, banishment to the moon for not tidying up? Wow, talk about overkill. Should I bring him back? Ooh, perhaps I'll promote him as a way of saying sorry." Celestia said Just then, a beam of midnight blue light shot through the roof of the castle and right infront of Celestia. It shot into the ground, and maintained it's beam-like form for five seconds before exploding. "Nope. He's staying on the moon." Celestia said *BOOM* Meanwhile... You stare at Equestria as a huge blue midnight blue cloud puffs up. You chuckle a bit. "Haha, Equestria go boom." You say The mare simply buries her face in her hooves and starts shaking her head in disappointment "What have thou done?" The mare says "Um, I blew up a quarter of Equestria. Say, names Whiplash, you?" You say to the mare The mare glares at you and and hesitantly sticks her hoof out. "Princess Luna." The mare says Did you just hear what she said? "Excuse me, what was that?" You ask "I'm Princess Luna." "No way. Like, Sister-of-Celestia Luna?" "Well, yes." "Shouldn't you be like, old and stuff since you've been here for like, who knows when?" Luna gives you an offended look. You shrug. "Time is different here in space." Luna responds So here you are. In a cave. On the moon. With the offended sister of the very alicorn that banished you to the moon. "I don't like your sister." You mutter "Neither do I." Luna mutters "Wait isn't she your sister?" "HAVE THEE NEVER READ THE HISTORY OF THY NATION?!" "Yeaaaaaaaaa, the gods gave me a book, with history and stuff, and I ended up making a bunch more duplicates, coating them in gold and making Towers Of Pimps for the citizens." You say as you check your hooves Luna facehoofs as you only continue looking around and continue to check your hooves. "How can somepony as ignorant as thou be a god? The god of stupidity perhaps." "Why thank- Hey!" "I have proven my point." Luna says Luna turns around and heads for the exit of the cave. "Hey, where you goin'?" You ask "Home." Luna replies "Can I follow?" "No." You follow Luna anyways. She seems irritated, but doesn't do anything. You follow her out of the cave and out into the open. You follow her, she seemed to know where she was going, or did she? You decided that being lost together was better than being lost alone. Eventually, Luna arrives at yet another cave. She enters and before you can set foot into the cave, she uses her magic to levitate a large boulder to the entrance. You stop and sit down.You sigh and use your magic on the boulder, no luck. She must've locked it. You sigh and shook your head. You hoped it wouldn't come to this. You stared at the boulder with an incredibly adorable puppy dog frown. "Pwease?" You could hear Luna moving inside, unsure of whether to let you in or not. You decide to really ham up the adorable. "Pwease Woona, let me in." The rock shifts a bit. You use your magic and lift it aside. "Hehe, works everytime." You say You enter and move the boulder back to block the entrance. inside, it's a long lit up tunnel. You follow it until you reach an ENORMOUS cavern. Complete with a queen sized bed (Which Luna was laying down on, covered in her nice little blanket of magic), a large sunroof with magic instead of glass, various furniture made out of moon dust, and basically everything you'd find in a princess' room. "Nice place. Say, why do ya' need to cover up the nice view?" You ask "To prevent the monsters from coming in." "There are monsters here?" "Yes. There is only one." "Where- Oh, me. Wait, hey!" Luna ignores you and continues staring at the sky. "Whatcha doing anyways?" You ask "I am stargazing. It helps me relax, it makes me think clearer and-" Luna said "Yea, um, you lost me. Say, would you happen to have any food here?" "Does thou have no respect for ANYTHING? Not even thyself?" "I have done some incredibly stupid things in my life, so yes. I have no respect for myself." Luna turns to her side. A clear indication that she was about to doze off. You climb in the bed and under her magic blanket. Almost immediately, a layer of blue magic levitates you off the bed and onto the floor. "Do I have to get out the puppy eyes again?" You say "No." "Then why do you hate me?" "I don't hate you. It's just that I don't allow animals on beds." "Well played Luna, well played." You say You curl up on the floor of Luna's "home" and slowly feel yourself doze off. The floor was surprisingly comfy. "Night Luna." "Keep thy mouth shut and go to sleep." Luna grumbled Wow, banishment wasn't as fun as you thought it would be is it? Author's Note Ugh, I have writer's block. Good... Night? Oh yea.You wake up and stare at the gray ceiling. You stretch and yawn a bit. Luna is still on her bed, fast asleep. You slowly get up and brush the dust off your wings, you didn't bother to be silent about it either. If Luna woke up and got mad you'd probably have no problem taking her. You could probably just bend her tiara into a dagger and drive it into her brain, just like that. But, since you don't want to live with the corpse of the princess of the night, you decide to silently walk around and explore. There's still a couple of tunnels, you decide not to enter them, for fear of the unknown. Maybe Luna kept tentacle rape monsters in there? Hey, it could happen. Dare to dream. So, you decide to be smart and leave it alone. Instead you sit on the floor and wait for Luna to wake up and perhaps give you SOMETHING to do on this barren wasteland. Preferably in bed. Hey, colts have needs. You sit on the floor, just thinking. You weren't uncomfortable, the floor was just like a sheet of fine sand. Soft, smooth and makes you want to bury yourself alive. You were just bored. On Equestria you would sigh in annoyance whenever someone gave you work (*cough*Celestia*cough*). Now you were bored out of your mind. You had absolutely NOTHING to do. Literally. There was nopony else to prank or disturb. So you made a little moonsand drawing. You drew a picture of Luna in the sand, occasionally taking glances at the princess of the night. You even wrote a little text at the bottom that said: "Why can't I have you?". You decide to write that on for the fun of it, you didn't really have a full blown crush on the mare, but you've gotta admit, she is one FINE looking mare. "Thou are awake?" Luna says as she rises from her bed "Mornin'." You say "'Tis no morning here." Luna says "You know what I mean." "I'm afraid I do not." Luna hops off the bed and lands right on your little doodle. Actually it was just your text. When Luna walks away, the text read: " ha you?" You sigh and get off your butt. "So alicorn princess, envy of little girls everywhere, what would you like to do today?" "Shut thy mouth. Thou will not be doing anything, I have business to attend to." "You're lying." "How does thee know?" "I didn't. I just assumed." Luna just growled and turned to exit the cave. You follow her even though she didn't tell you to. So, like a little puppy dog, you follow the moon mare around. For the duration of time you were following Luna, she seemed to do nothing except look here and there until she finally stopped at a cave. It was the very same one that you had slept in. You had just walked around the moon. "Luna, did we just walk around the moon." You ask "Yes." "But WHY?!" "Can thou think of anything better to do?" "Yes. But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it." Luna simply rolls her eyes and ignores you. "Are you sure you don't want to hear it out?" "Thou are not going to get intimate with me. Not now and not until the day I die." "I was just suggesting that we build like, moonsand castles or something." Luna blushes and gives you an angry frown. "Luna, you have dirty thoughts." You say "Thou best keep silent." Luna says "Okay okay." Luna enters the cave, you follow and close the boulder behind you. Luna proceeds to sit on her bed and stargaze. You sit next to her bed and stargaze with her. It was basically just a black sheet with white lights. What's so fun about that? But Luna was watching it like it was a Marecheal Jackson concert. "Tell me Whiplash, don't thee think you're treated unfairly sometimes?" Luna mutters "Kinda." You reply "Thou are nothing but a minor god. Higher than a mortal, but lower than a full fledged god." "I mean, I don't want to end up on the radar of everypony else. So I don't really care." "How can thou be so positive? Thou are just as powerful as Celestia herself yet thou are not treated the same." "Just fake it." "Fake it?" Luna asks "If somepony is strong enough to bring you down, show them that you're strong enough to-" "Get back up?" "I was about to say murder them and their family, but that works too." Luna stifles a little giggle. And you realize that this is the first time you've ever heard her laugh. Maybe she's finally snapped, whatever the reason, you were glad that the goddess of the moon didn't hate your guts. Or show any kind of emotion besides anger. She continues staring at the stars, but you however take a glance sideways and look at Luna. She looks stunning. You catch yourself staring at her for waaaay too long. You turn your gaze away and find your face a little hot. "Um, uh. I'm just gonna take a nap now." "Okay." You lay down by the side of Luna's bed and curl up to go to sleep, you had just woken up, but you took afternoon naps all the time so, you had no problem falling asleep. The fact that Luna was behaving strangely was unsettling, but you managed to fall asleep anyways thinking that it was just from being stuck on the moon for too long. How little did you know that it was the start of something MUCH worse. What.You wake up. Once again the dull, dark grey ceiling of Luna's moon cave greeted your eyes, little to nothing had changed. You stretch your forelegs and your wings, eliciting the sound of your spine popping. You yawn a bit and smack your lips, looking around at your surroundings. Everywhere you looked, it was nothing but a sheet of grey moon dust. Except maybe the magical roof. You get up on your hooves, turning your head to Luna's bed, you notice that she's gone. You automatically assume that she's probably gone on her hourly walk on the moon again. You decide to go out and look for her considering you have nothing else to do. You could try and sleep again, but you probably couldn't even if you tried. You never thought you could get tired of sleeping. You stretch your legs and go to the tunnel that led outside. The 'door' was open. You come to the conclusion that yes, Luna was outside. You decide to join her, stepping outside, you levitate the rock back into place. Despite the fact that you and Luna were the only two living organisms on the moon, (Excluding microorganisms) you felt like you had to shut the cave. It just made you feel less lonely. Outside, Luna was sitting in the middle of nowhere, completely spaced out. You walk over and wave your hoof up and down in front of her face. She proceeds to just push your hoof out of the way. "What'cha lookin' at?" You ask Luna. "Home." Luna said. You stand next to Luna and stare at the direction she was facing. You saw the planet as it slowly turned and rotated, the blend of the clouds, water and grass formed a beautiful mixture of colors. The bits and pieces of broken meteors and asteroids floating in slow motion together with the shining stars in the background only enhanced the beauty of it all. "Graceful is it not?" Luna says. "Quite." You reply. "I've almost forgotten to thank thou." "For what?" "For being an ignoramus." "What?" "If thou had not messed up, I'd still be alone here." "You're thanking me? For being a jackass? Well, that's a first." Luna had a little smile tug at the edge of her lips. You wondered why. Maybe she was finally seeing you as a decent pony. Or maybe she finally snapped. Either way you didn't mind, at least now the only company you had didn't hate your guts. But then again, it probably wouldn't help that she just so happens to be insane. You and Luna continue to sit and stare into space for an unknown period of time. It might've been an hour, half an hour, but you couldn't tell. Time in space was different to Equestria's. From the time that's passed, it could've already been nine to eight weeks now, or maybe two to three years. You weren't really worried about the town, the gods would usually just pitch in to run it. And the citizens could probably use a break from your usual shenanigans, the guards probably needed some discipline hardwired into them from the other gods anyways, the cleaning staff could probably get put to good use. "Does thou want to go back?" Luna asked You were a bit startled from her breaking the silence. But not for long. You thought about what she said, and decided of course! You'd like to go back. Sure beats being stuck on the moon with nothing to do. But what about Luna? She hadn't even crossed your mind during that short duration of time you took to think about it. What if you did go back? She'd be alone again. And how often did Celestia send ponies to the moon? Quite rarely if you remembered. You were probably the only form of company she's ever had in a long time. Your departure would only serve as another bittercold memory if you chose to go back. "Why'd you ask that? We can't go back. Didn't Celestia enchant the moon so you wouldn't have enough magic to teleport back?" You say. "Not exactly correct." Luna replied "Huh?" "Individually, yes, we do not have the power to send anypony back or cast any other spells. But together, our magic would be that of an individual unicorn's'." "How does that even work anyways? Do we have to cast a spell together or something like that?" "Not necessarily. Magic is like a kind of aura, it would be with thou, internally and externally. All I have to do is stand close to thou and I shall have sufficient power for the spell to work and send you back." "I'm a little confused and I may have lost track of what you were saying but okay." "So, would thou choose to go back? I know thou have nothing better to do here." "What about you? Don't you want to go back? Aren't you tired of the moon?" "I'd like to. But I know my wrong doings. I must stay, to serve my punishment. Besides, the moon is my element. My home away from home if you will." You thought about it, and finally it hit you. Luna was asking if you'd like to go home right now, she had the magic to send you back combined with yours. All you had to do was say yes. But would you be happy with that decision? You thought about it for a long time. The answer was clear. "Have thou made thy decision?" Luna asked "Yes Luna, I have decided to..." Author's Note I'm a bit rusty after not writing so long, forgive the length and quality, I need some time to shake off the dust. Anyways, now it is up to you, the viewers, to decide. Do you want to stay on the moon? Or shall you go back? The choice is yours. Leave your vote in the comments below. Goodbyes"Have thou made thy decision?" Luna asked "Yes Luna, I have decided to..." You hesitate before answering. Were you sure that this was what you wanted? You closed your eyes, and took a deep breath. "Potato." You say. "What." Luna answered, obviously dumbfounded. You turn your head away, not daring to face Luna out of embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm really not one for making decisions as hard as this." You answer sheepishly. "My question still stands." Luna said. You take a deep breath. "No." You say. Luna raises an eyebrow, obviously puzzled at why you didn't take the ticket back home when you had the chance. "Why would that be?" Luna asks. "I know my mistakes, I haven't been on this moon for nearly long enough for it to be considered punishment. Even if I did go back, Celestia would just send me back here." You reply. Luna nods. She turns her head back to it's original position, staring at Equestria as it slowly turned. "You wanna know who should really go back though?" You answer. "Thou can't possibly-" Luna said "Yes, Luna. It's time you went home." "But-" "Do you really want to fight over it? You have every reason to go back. You've served your punishment long enough, and I think Celestia is starting to get a little tired of taking care of the moon." "But after what I've done-" "Okaythanksbye." Before Luna could react, you lit your horn, primed for a teleportation spell. "WAIT-" Luna says. Too late, there was a flash of light, and she was gone. All that was left was a black circle where she once stood. You sighed and sat down. Taking Luna's place and staring at the planet. Sure, you were lonely, you had no one else, but at least you wouldn't have to lose any sleep knowing that poor Luna was still stuck on the moon. Although the spell was rather sudden, you had a feeling that it would be good for Luna in the long run. It was about time she had some friends.
Surprise! I'm sending you to the moon!You are, Whiplash. Your coat of fur is a fine shade of gold while your mane is a mixture of two streaks of colors, black and green. You are the God of Metal, not as well known as Celestia, but still, you're a god. Your an alicorn naturally, but you don't behave that way. Ohhhh no. You're not like the other gods. You like to have fun. And by fun, I mean cause trouble. You rarely ever visit Canterlot, but once in a while when Ol' 'Tia calls a meeting of the gods, you have no choice but to follow. But hey, at least you got to flirt with Princess Cadence while you were there. So anyways, You usually go about causing trouble throughout the town of Baltimare (You caused so much trouble that ponies started calling you Discord the second). You liked this kind of style and thought that all princes and princesses should behave a bit looser. Celestia didn't exactly agree. But hey, this was your city right? Your rules. Celestia's got no control over you here. At least, that's what you thought... So, there you were, sitting on your throne, in the castle as your legion of mares satisfied your every need. You were in no mood to go out and mess with the citizens, they didn't really care anyways.And after a while, their reactions to your chaos were starting to get a bit bland. "Guards, what's on my to-do list?" You yell A silver pegasus colt with a midnight blue mane approached you, a scroll under his leg. "Oh um, hi." "Riptide, how's it goin'?" You said In here, all the guards and staff were treated like friends unlike other guards who were treated like... Well, guards. Unlike other castles, ponies didn't need a specific color scheme to be able to work here. Neither was there a single restriction. Ponies of all age, whatever race, colts and mares, red or blue could join. "Um, yes, quite lovely." Riptide said in his British accent "So, got anything coming up?" You ask "Oh, yes. The other gods are coming over to make sure your workplace is a, eh... How would you say? Bearable." Riptide responded You almost leap out of your chair. Inspection was today?! Sure, Celestia had no power over you here, but a bunch of gods did. And if they failed you, you could end up with no power whatsoever. You'd be turned back into an earth pony and be treated like a joke. "Quick! Get the cleaning squad!" You yell "Um, sir... You gave them the day off." Riptide said "Well get them back here!" "But sir, you DEMANDED them to take a vacation. They're in Los Pegasus. They won't be able to make it back in time. The gods are coming in a few minutes." "I BLAME YOU!" You growl at RIptide "I'm sorry master!" Riptide said as he cowered in fear "Where's your pride?! Bah! I DON'T CARE. Get the whole staff dressed and lined up at the door. I'll take care of cleaning. We must make them feel welcomed, so welcomed they'll get creeped out and probably never come back!" You say 14 minutes later... You sat on your throne, waiting nervously, casting your gaze over every single staff member, making sure that everypony was in line and well attired. You were incredibly stressed, but you never let it show. You put on the most regal face you could make as you waited anxiously. *Knock Knock* A mare in a maid outfit opens the door, revealing three alicorns. One of these three alicorns was The lovely Princess Cadence. You flash her a wink and she waves in response, you've had a crush on her for as long as you could remember. But for whatever reason, she kept telling you that "You're not the one". How does she know? It's not like she's- Oh wait, she's the Goddess of Love. Next to her was Canyon, God of Earth. He was orange with a black mane. He was usually fairly serious with his work, unless he's around you. Then he'd occasionally tease you. You liked to make fun of him in return and occasionally try to get him to ease up a little only to fail miserably. You nod towards him and he gives you an impressed look. He probably couldn't believe that you'd cleaned up the castle for once. And last but definitely not least, was the sun goddess. Princess Celestia. She stood in the middle of both Cadence and Canyon. Her rainbow mane flowing ever so royally. "Celestia." You say "Whiplash. I didn't think you were capable of cleaning your castle, much less form a welcome committee as impressive as this." Celestia said as she gestured at all the servants in attendance "Why, it is inspection after all. Why wouldn't I clean up?" You say You silently prayed that your secret would not be blown. Cleaning this place up your way had it's ups and downs. It's advantages included convenience and speed. But on the downside... "What's wrong with the closet over there? The door looks like it's gonna come down any minute." Canyon said You panic. You were hoping that such a minor detail would've drawn little to no attention. Instead here it was, making a buzz. Drawing attention to itself with each passing second. You try to gain the attention of the gods and lure them away. "Nothing. It's just some old stuff." You say "Alright. Say, I'm hungry, shall we have lunch?" Canyon said The two princesses nodded. A couple of guards opened the door. You motion for the gods to enter. Canyon eyes you suspiciously at first but walks on. Cadence gave you a wink and Celestia nods at you approvingly. "I'm not all fun and games 'Tia." You said "We shall see." Was the response that came from the Goddess of the Sun. As you enter the banquet hall, Riptide flies up to you in his full set of silver armor complete with wave designs. "Sir, the door is going to burst at any second. We need to repair it." Rip says "Then fix it." You say "But we need to empty the contents." Riptide said You sigh in frustration. "Try to open the door SLOWLY." "Yes sir." Riptide says as he salutes and flies off You take one more quick glance at the scenery, everyone is still in position and everything seemed fine. Except for the closet. You enter the banquet hall and close the door behind you. You take a seat at the head of the table while Celestia sits at the opposite end. Canyon sat on your left, Cadence on your right. "I like what you've done with the place." Cadence said "Really?" You reply "Yea. At least now we won't have to wallow in the trash." Canyon said "Very funny." You say "Whiplash, I am impressed. Not only did you go out of your way to tidy up your home, but you also formed quite the welcome." Celestia said "Thank you Princess Celestia." You say Just then, some servants came and serve the food. Cadence had some maple carrots, Celestia had some potato and cabbage stew while Canyon had a plate full of pure diamonds (He is the God of Earth after all). "Perhaps I have thought of you wrongly Whiplash. At first I thought you were a juvenile delinquet who couldn't take his work seriously, now I see a little differently." Celestia said "Thanks." You say "Not only have you amazed us by your organization, but you also seem to-" Before Celestia could finish her sentence, something cut her off. "RUN! IT'S GONNA BLOW!" Riptide yelled Immediately the sound of glass shattering, metal smashing and tiles cracking was heard outside. Without even looking outside to inspect the damage, Celestia simply looked at you, an almost irrate expression on her face. "Spoke too soon." Canyon said "Whiplash, your punishment for failing inspection, is banishment." Celestia said "To where?" You asked "To the moon." Celestia replied
Hoofston, We have a problem."Wait what?!" You exclaim "It is clear that you have failed to pass inspection and that we must banish you to the moon." Celestia said "FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS MY WISHES HAVE COME TRUE!" Canyon said You raise an eyebrow at him and so do the other two princesses. "Oh um... I meant to say sorry." Canyon said You pray to yourself that perhaps that noise was nothing but a mere vase break. "Celestia, you haven't even inspected the damage yet. We have to make sure that our information is correct now don't we?" You said Celestia raises an eyebrow in suspicion. "Very well. But if I find the damage too excessive, you WILL be sent to the moon. No trials." The sun goddess said You get off the chair and walk over to the door. You open it to find Riptide standing at the door way, his armor had dents all over it. "What's going on out there?" You ask "Well, everything was going fine until all of a sudden the door started creaking and soon enough it just exploded." Riptide said You curse. There was no one for you to blame. "Try and fix it." You said "How long do we have?" Riptide said "About fifteen seconds." You say "Clear the room in fifteen seconds?! That's bollocks!" "Do your best!" You close the door and turn around. Celestia had an expression on her face as if she had a battle of emotions going on in her head. "Maybe I was a bit harsh. Perhaps I can overlook this. After all you did try and for once-" Celestia said Before the alicorn could finish, there was a loud *BOOM* from outside as the walls rattled. Dust rained down on you all. Celestia closed her eyes and so did the others. Cadence sneezed. Canyon growled. When Celestia opened her eyes again. She was clearly irritated. "Someone just earned himself a trip to the moon." Celestia said "C'mon 'Tia, just give me one more chance, I can-" *Boop*. You find yourself on the moon, literally staring into space as you beg at empty air. "So much for mercy." You grumble You look around. The moon was literally a ball of dust and dirt. There was nothing and absolutely nothing around here. You decide to explore a bit. Maybe you'd find something interesting. Before you go off, you magnetize yourself to try and find any metal around you. Even underground, any kind of metal would immediately fly towards you if you magnetized yourself. Within seconds, two white circular objects fly out of nowhere and smash at your hooves. You use your magic and pick one of them up. Green light encases the object as you pick it up. Closer inspection revealed that it had a little hole with blue light coming out of it. You assumed this was it's eye. And around the rim of the eye were two handle-like things. "What are you?" You ask The object's eye dart back and forth before talking. It spoke with a British accent. "What? Where am I? Am I on the moon? Wasn't already sent there?" The object says It focuses it's eye on you and you can see it widen as soon as it did. "Oh! A sentient being! Finally some one can send me back! Oh, if you don't mind, could you perhaps just chuck me towards the little blue planet there? Yes, the one with green and white stuff on it, and by the way, name's Whe-" Before the thing could finish, you chuck it away. "Meh, reminds me of Riptide, but too annoying." You say to yourself You turn your attention to the second object. You pick it up and it stares at you with an orange eye as opposed to the other one. "Hello. And what kind of wisdom do YOU hold?" You say mockingly "Spacespacespace, spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!" The object says "Um, okay?" You say "I'm in space." "Me too buddy. Me too." You chuck it off into the never ending space of... well Space. You look around once more and magnetize again just to make sure. You end up with nothing except a faint signal of metal on the other half of the moon. In other words, the dark side of the moon. "Meh, nothing to do here anyways." You say You walk. No set destination in mind, only the faint signal of metal driving you on. Maybe there was some kind of robot on the other end. Or whatever. You continue walking. It was hard walking on the moon, it felt like you were going to fly off at any second. You pressed on and continued walking, even if you did look like a retard doing it. Eventually you arrived at the border where darkness turned to light. Literally is was just one straight line. You were standing on the safe reaches of the light. And on the other side... It was about 0.05% dimmer. "So much for the dark side." You mutter to yourself You take a hoof forward across the border. Unsurprisingly, no tentacle rape occurs. You continue walking forwards since you have nothing else to do anyways. The metal signal is stronger than ever. It doesn't take long for you to find it. Your little signal leads you to a cave. All you could see inside was darkness. You light up your horn and walk into the cave. Unaware of what dangers lay ahead. Or "lack of dangers" to be accurate. You walk through the mysterious cavern. Your horn acting as a torch. Throughout your whole search, you couldn't help but feel somepony watching you. Multiple times you turn around expecting to see a hideous creature ready to pounce and strip your flesh off your bones. But it never did happen. You were starting to get bored. No, wait... You WERE bored. You kick a wall out of frustration and the whole cavern shakes, threatening to come crashing down on you. "Okay, okay, that's a good wall. Not gonna hit you again." You say You sigh and turn around only to face a midnight blue alicorn mare with a flowing blue mane. She wore a black bib with a picture of the moon on it. Her cutiemark was a moon, but her hindquarters looked as if they'd been dipped in ink. "SPEAK THY INTENTIONS OR PERISH!" The alicorn mare says Author's Note Portal 2 reference. It was coming and you knew it.
Pwease Woona?The alicorn mare lit up her horn and pointed it directly at you. She was a bit shorter than you, but she was still threatening enough. You decide to continue your usual clown ways. You put a hoof on her horn and push it down only to have it pop back in your face. "Stop that!" The mare said "No." "I demand you stop that so I can execute you!" "No." This continued for several minutes until the mare finally fired a shot of energy. You managed to push her horn away and see it fly through the roof of the cave, melting a hole. You can see the midnight blue beam of energy fly towards Equestria. "What have thee done?!" The mare said "Um... Uh, I did it for the lulz." You say Meanwhile... Down on Equestria, Celestia was sitting on her throne. still in a conflict of emotions. "Hmm, maybe I was a a bit too harsh on Whiplash, banishment to the moon for not tidying up? Wow, talk about overkill. Should I bring him back? Ooh, perhaps I'll promote him as a way of saying sorry." Celestia said Just then, a beam of midnight blue light shot through the roof of the castle and right infront of Celestia. It shot into the ground, and maintained it's beam-like form for five seconds before exploding. "Nope. He's staying on the moon." Celestia said *BOOM* Meanwhile... You stare at Equestria as a huge blue midnight blue cloud puffs up. You chuckle a bit. "Haha, Equestria go boom." You say The mare simply buries her face in her hooves and starts shaking her head in disappointment "What have thou done?" The mare says "Um, I blew up a quarter of Equestria. Say, names Whiplash, you?" You say to the mare The mare glares at you and and hesitantly sticks her hoof out. "Princess Luna." The mare says Did you just hear what she said? "Excuse me, what was that?" You ask "I'm Princess Luna." "No way. Like, Sister-of-Celestia Luna?" "Well, yes." "Shouldn't you be like, old and stuff since you've been here for like, who knows when?" Luna gives you an offended look. You shrug. "Time is different here in space." Luna responds So here you are. In a cave. On the moon. With the offended sister of the very alicorn that banished you to the moon. "I don't like your sister." You mutter "Neither do I." Luna mutters "Wait isn't she your sister?" "HAVE THEE NEVER READ THE HISTORY OF THY NATION?!" "Yeaaaaaaaaa, the gods gave me a book, with history and stuff, and I ended up making a bunch more duplicates, coating them in gold and making Towers Of Pimps for the citizens." You say as you check your hooves Luna facehoofs as you only continue looking around and continue to check your hooves. "How can somepony as ignorant as thou be a god? The god of stupidity perhaps." "Why thank- Hey!" "I have proven my point." Luna says Luna turns around and heads for the exit of the cave. "Hey, where you goin'?" You ask "Home." Luna replies "Can I follow?" "No." You follow Luna anyways. She seems irritated, but doesn't do anything. You follow her out of the cave and out into the open. You follow her, she seemed to know where she was going, or did she? You decided that being lost together was better than being lost alone. Eventually, Luna arrives at yet another cave. She enters and before you can set foot into the cave, she uses her magic to levitate a large boulder to the entrance. You stop and sit down.You sigh and use your magic on the boulder, no luck. She must've locked it. You sigh and shook your head. You hoped it wouldn't come to this. You stared at the boulder with an incredibly adorable puppy dog frown. "Pwease?" You could hear Luna moving inside, unsure of whether to let you in or not. You decide to really ham up the adorable. "Pwease Woona, let me in." The rock shifts a bit. You use your magic and lift it aside. "Hehe, works everytime." You say You enter and move the boulder back to block the entrance. inside, it's a long lit up tunnel. You follow it until you reach an ENORMOUS cavern. Complete with a queen sized bed (Which Luna was laying down on, covered in her nice little blanket of magic), a large sunroof with magic instead of glass, various furniture made out of moon dust, and basically everything you'd find in a princess' room. "Nice place. Say, why do ya' need to cover up the nice view?" You ask "To prevent the monsters from coming in." "There are monsters here?" "Yes. There is only one." "Where- Oh, me. Wait, hey!" Luna ignores you and continues staring at the sky. "Whatcha doing anyways?" You ask "I am stargazing. It helps me relax, it makes me think clearer and-" Luna said "Yea, um, you lost me. Say, would you happen to have any food here?" "Does thou have no respect for ANYTHING? Not even thyself?" "I have done some incredibly stupid things in my life, so yes. I have no respect for myself." Luna turns to her side. A clear indication that she was about to doze off. You climb in the bed and under her magic blanket. Almost immediately, a layer of blue magic levitates you off the bed and onto the floor. "Do I have to get out the puppy eyes again?" You say "No." "Then why do you hate me?" "I don't hate you. It's just that I don't allow animals on beds." "Well played Luna, well played." You say You curl up on the floor of Luna's "home" and slowly feel yourself doze off. The floor was surprisingly comfy. "Night Luna." "Keep thy mouth shut and go to sleep." Luna grumbled Wow, banishment wasn't as fun as you thought it would be is it? Author's Note Ugh, I have writer's block.
Good... Night? Oh yea.You wake up and stare at the gray ceiling. You stretch and yawn a bit. Luna is still on her bed, fast asleep. You slowly get up and brush the dust off your wings, you didn't bother to be silent about it either. If Luna woke up and got mad you'd probably have no problem taking her. You could probably just bend her tiara into a dagger and drive it into her brain, just like that. But, since you don't want to live with the corpse of the princess of the night, you decide to silently walk around and explore. There's still a couple of tunnels, you decide not to enter them, for fear of the unknown. Maybe Luna kept tentacle rape monsters in there? Hey, it could happen. Dare to dream. So, you decide to be smart and leave it alone. Instead you sit on the floor and wait for Luna to wake up and perhaps give you SOMETHING to do on this barren wasteland. Preferably in bed. Hey, colts have needs. You sit on the floor, just thinking. You weren't uncomfortable, the floor was just like a sheet of fine sand. Soft, smooth and makes you want to bury yourself alive. You were just bored. On Equestria you would sigh in annoyance whenever someone gave you work (*cough*Celestia*cough*). Now you were bored out of your mind. You had absolutely NOTHING to do. Literally. There was nopony else to prank or disturb. So you made a little moonsand drawing. You drew a picture of Luna in the sand, occasionally taking glances at the princess of the night. You even wrote a little text at the bottom that said: "Why can't I have you?". You decide to write that on for the fun of it, you didn't really have a full blown crush on the mare, but you've gotta admit, she is one FINE looking mare. "Thou are awake?" Luna says as she rises from her bed "Mornin'." You say "'Tis no morning here." Luna says "You know what I mean." "I'm afraid I do not." Luna hops off the bed and lands right on your little doodle. Actually it was just your text. When Luna walks away, the text read: " ha you?" You sigh and get off your butt. "So alicorn princess, envy of little girls everywhere, what would you like to do today?" "Shut thy mouth. Thou will not be doing anything, I have business to attend to." "You're lying." "How does thee know?" "I didn't. I just assumed." Luna just growled and turned to exit the cave. You follow her even though she didn't tell you to. So, like a little puppy dog, you follow the moon mare around. For the duration of time you were following Luna, she seemed to do nothing except look here and there until she finally stopped at a cave. It was the very same one that you had slept in. You had just walked around the moon. "Luna, did we just walk around the moon." You ask "Yes." "But WHY?!" "Can thou think of anything better to do?" "Yes. But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it." Luna simply rolls her eyes and ignores you. "Are you sure you don't want to hear it out?" "Thou are not going to get intimate with me. Not now and not until the day I die." "I was just suggesting that we build like, moonsand castles or something." Luna blushes and gives you an angry frown. "Luna, you have dirty thoughts." You say "Thou best keep silent." Luna says "Okay okay." Luna enters the cave, you follow and close the boulder behind you. Luna proceeds to sit on her bed and stargaze. You sit next to her bed and stargaze with her. It was basically just a black sheet with white lights. What's so fun about that? But Luna was watching it like it was a Marecheal Jackson concert. "Tell me Whiplash, don't thee think you're treated unfairly sometimes?" Luna mutters "Kinda." You reply "Thou are nothing but a minor god. Higher than a mortal, but lower than a full fledged god." "I mean, I don't want to end up on the radar of everypony else. So I don't really care." "How can thou be so positive? Thou are just as powerful as Celestia herself yet thou are not treated the same." "Just fake it." "Fake it?" Luna asks "If somepony is strong enough to bring you down, show them that you're strong enough to-" "Get back up?" "I was about to say murder them and their family, but that works too." Luna stifles a little giggle. And you realize that this is the first time you've ever heard her laugh. Maybe she's finally snapped, whatever the reason, you were glad that the goddess of the moon didn't hate your guts. Or show any kind of emotion besides anger. She continues staring at the stars, but you however take a glance sideways and look at Luna. She looks stunning. You catch yourself staring at her for waaaay too long. You turn your gaze away and find your face a little hot. "Um, uh. I'm just gonna take a nap now." "Okay." You lay down by the side of Luna's bed and curl up to go to sleep, you had just woken up, but you took afternoon naps all the time so, you had no problem falling asleep. The fact that Luna was behaving strangely was unsettling, but you managed to fall asleep anyways thinking that it was just from being stuck on the moon for too long. How little did you know that it was the start of something MUCH worse.
What.You wake up. Once again the dull, dark grey ceiling of Luna's moon cave greeted your eyes, little to nothing had changed. You stretch your forelegs and your wings, eliciting the sound of your spine popping. You yawn a bit and smack your lips, looking around at your surroundings. Everywhere you looked, it was nothing but a sheet of grey moon dust. Except maybe the magical roof. You get up on your hooves, turning your head to Luna's bed, you notice that she's gone. You automatically assume that she's probably gone on her hourly walk on the moon again. You decide to go out and look for her considering you have nothing else to do. You could try and sleep again, but you probably couldn't even if you tried. You never thought you could get tired of sleeping. You stretch your legs and go to the tunnel that led outside. The 'door' was open. You come to the conclusion that yes, Luna was outside. You decide to join her, stepping outside, you levitate the rock back into place. Despite the fact that you and Luna were the only two living organisms on the moon, (Excluding microorganisms) you felt like you had to shut the cave. It just made you feel less lonely. Outside, Luna was sitting in the middle of nowhere, completely spaced out. You walk over and wave your hoof up and down in front of her face. She proceeds to just push your hoof out of the way. "What'cha lookin' at?" You ask Luna. "Home." Luna said. You stand next to Luna and stare at the direction she was facing. You saw the planet as it slowly turned and rotated, the blend of the clouds, water and grass formed a beautiful mixture of colors. The bits and pieces of broken meteors and asteroids floating in slow motion together with the shining stars in the background only enhanced the beauty of it all. "Graceful is it not?" Luna says. "Quite." You reply. "I've almost forgotten to thank thou." "For what?" "For being an ignoramus." "What?" "If thou had not messed up, I'd still be alone here." "You're thanking me? For being a jackass? Well, that's a first." Luna had a little smile tug at the edge of her lips. You wondered why. Maybe she was finally seeing you as a decent pony. Or maybe she finally snapped. Either way you didn't mind, at least now the only company you had didn't hate your guts. But then again, it probably wouldn't help that she just so happens to be insane. You and Luna continue to sit and stare into space for an unknown period of time. It might've been an hour, half an hour, but you couldn't tell. Time in space was different to Equestria's. From the time that's passed, it could've already been nine to eight weeks now, or maybe two to three years. You weren't really worried about the town, the gods would usually just pitch in to run it. And the citizens could probably use a break from your usual shenanigans, the guards probably needed some discipline hardwired into them from the other gods anyways, the cleaning staff could probably get put to good use. "Does thou want to go back?" Luna asked You were a bit startled from her breaking the silence. But not for long. You thought about what she said, and decided of course! You'd like to go back. Sure beats being stuck on the moon with nothing to do. But what about Luna? She hadn't even crossed your mind during that short duration of time you took to think about it. What if you did go back? She'd be alone again. And how often did Celestia send ponies to the moon? Quite rarely if you remembered. You were probably the only form of company she's ever had in a long time. Your departure would only serve as another bittercold memory if you chose to go back. "Why'd you ask that? We can't go back. Didn't Celestia enchant the moon so you wouldn't have enough magic to teleport back?" You say. "Not exactly correct." Luna replied "Huh?" "Individually, yes, we do not have the power to send anypony back or cast any other spells. But together, our magic would be that of an individual unicorn's'." "How does that even work anyways? Do we have to cast a spell together or something like that?" "Not necessarily. Magic is like a kind of aura, it would be with thou, internally and externally. All I have to do is stand close to thou and I shall have sufficient power for the spell to work and send you back." "I'm a little confused and I may have lost track of what you were saying but okay." "So, would thou choose to go back? I know thou have nothing better to do here." "What about you? Don't you want to go back? Aren't you tired of the moon?" "I'd like to. But I know my wrong doings. I must stay, to serve my punishment. Besides, the moon is my element. My home away from home if you will." You thought about it, and finally it hit you. Luna was asking if you'd like to go home right now, she had the magic to send you back combined with yours. All you had to do was say yes. But would you be happy with that decision? You thought about it for a long time. The answer was clear. "Have thou made thy decision?" Luna asked "Yes Luna, I have decided to..." Author's Note I'm a bit rusty after not writing so long, forgive the length and quality, I need some time to shake off the dust. Anyways, now it is up to you, the viewers, to decide. Do you want to stay on the moon? Or shall you go back? The choice is yours. Leave your vote in the comments below.
Goodbyes"Have thou made thy decision?" Luna asked "Yes Luna, I have decided to..." You hesitate before answering. Were you sure that this was what you wanted? You closed your eyes, and took a deep breath. "Potato." You say. "What." Luna answered, obviously dumbfounded. You turn your head away, not daring to face Luna out of embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm really not one for making decisions as hard as this." You answer sheepishly. "My question still stands." Luna said. You take a deep breath. "No." You say. Luna raises an eyebrow, obviously puzzled at why you didn't take the ticket back home when you had the chance. "Why would that be?" Luna asks. "I know my mistakes, I haven't been on this moon for nearly long enough for it to be considered punishment. Even if I did go back, Celestia would just send me back here." You reply. Luna nods. She turns her head back to it's original position, staring at Equestria as it slowly turned. "You wanna know who should really go back though?" You answer. "Thou can't possibly-" Luna said "Yes, Luna. It's time you went home." "But-" "Do you really want to fight over it? You have every reason to go back. You've served your punishment long enough, and I think Celestia is starting to get a little tired of taking care of the moon." "But after what I've done-" "Okaythanksbye." Before Luna could react, you lit your horn, primed for a teleportation spell. "WAIT-" Luna says. Too late, there was a flash of light, and she was gone. All that was left was a black circle where she once stood. You sighed and sat down. Taking Luna's place and staring at the planet. Sure, you were lonely, you had no one else, but at least you wouldn't have to lose any sleep knowing that poor Luna was still stuck on the moon. Although the spell was rather sudden, you had a feeling that it would be good for Luna in the long run. It was about time she had some friends.
