New story: Bonding with the Moon · 6:24am Apr 22nd, 2014
You know those field trips where you get the chance to go to the one place that you’ve never been to before, and that you’ve always yearned to see?
Well, I got that opportunity, but it wasn’t under normal circumstances.
The NORAD headquarters in Colorado went stir-crazy when their satellites detected an asteroid cluster bombarding the Arctic tundra just a few miles shy of the North Pole. For me, it was just another ordinary day in the office. The only hiccup was that the circumstances were anything but ordinary.
Several years after the last transmission from Curiosity was received, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (yes, NASA) gave the green light to send a team of astro-geologists and biologists to Mars to investigate a particularly odd discovery of a certain cluster of rocks—just before Curiosity kicked the bucket. In truth, no one was surprised about its impending shutdown after being caked with layers upon layers of Martian dust.
In any case, after the team’s arrival, we were expecting a sample meteorite from Mars several days later. A small cluster of fine algae-like bacteria was found hugging the underside of a small rock on the red planet’s surface. Nothing special to note this time, as Curiosity found many similar samples beforehand. However, one of the astrobiologists noted that the amoebic formation on the rock had a chemical makeup unlike any other Martian sample sent to us.
At least, that’s what I was told by my fellow work colleagues, who kept themselves glued to their tablets and up to date with the latest mission details non-stop.
The team fired up the catapult, which the launch was successful—no surprises there. It was during the middle of the sample’s shipment that things went wrong. Apparently, the space agency misplaced the location of an unmarked meteorite that was on a collision-course with Earth as well. So, the shipment was, uneventfully, bumped off-course.
By bump, I mean forcefully ripped apart from the collision, which inadvertently caused the meteorite to split apart. This really rustled everyone’s backsides back in Colorado, since now there were fragments of an unmarked space rock headed straight for Earth.
Fortunately for us, they were expected to land in the middle of the Arctic. No harm, no foul, right?
Of course, that’s what any other person would say. Me? Well, I would say the same, but because there was geologically sensitive equipment parked deep into the reaches of the Arctic Circle, who knows what kind of damage would happen?
Well, there's a short snippet of the new story for you. It's a romance clopfic involving a hapless young adult getting caught out in the middle of the Arctic, only to get sucked into Equestria, and meeting... well, Luna, after being saved from Equestria's arctic tundra.
The debt he wants to repay? Performing odd jobs for her, but she knows that he wants more than that. You get where that's going by this point.
It's my first clopfic, so my attempt will be rough around the edges, as was my first comedy one-shot, but maybe fortune favors the bold. Who knows? Only one way to know, though. 
I approve of every Human X Luna fanfics in existence
