This story is a sequel to A Big Hug
Tsuki the moon rabbit has led his people, and King Sombra, towards better places, not that he understands what he's doing. He just wants rabbits and ponies to be happy. A little hug between friends goes a long way to put bad feelings to rest, right?
This is a sequel and reading the first is likely a good idea if you want to know who this strange rabbit creature is and how he got involved with everything else.
Written for a loyal patron from the patreon.
Chapters (36)
Well this could go bad. Let's see how everyone reacts.
First chapter and I'm already on the floor with lather
At 1k per chapter, there's not a lot of room for typos to spawn, so this one looks pretty clean and tidy.
Shortest and most successful operation, ever.
I think Twilight would have found it quite difficult to 'triangulate' the current position of anything from reported sightings. BUT, she might have been able to deduce their direction of travel and extrapolate from that a likely search area. Fortunately, Tsuki seemed to be traveling in a more or less straight line through or over any obstacles and terrain.
Should I become your patron, would I only need to pay you once?

Aha! It begins. Also Luna and TsukI er Toby, would have made it to Canterlot earlier were it not all the detours they kept experiencing. Namely prodded by Toby when he kept wandering wildly off course. Prompting Luna to chase or correct their course. Enduring avalanches, Griffon poachers, and a funny incident where Luna was accosted by the Border Control for not having a up to date Equestrian Passport.
Regardless this a welcome return to this particular storyline. You know funny, thing was when I first saw the orginal when it started I pegged Tsuski/Toby to be a reincarnated version of Sombra himself. Thus funny, awkward, and a little dramatic existential crisis induced shenanigans would ensue. Well that was before I found out it was an entirely orginal character that just happened to share a similar color scheme. Which is not a bad thing. As the original story, while short and to point, was a treat to read through. Hope this just as fun too.

What follows hugs is a Vizzerdrix summoned by
Larry from Teen Titans GoDiscord.Toby is hopefully going to positively influence his king. Poor Celestia has no clue how to take this I think.

We need Tsuki's in all realities. All that troubles us can be solved with giant bunny hugs!
Can't wait to hear what Cadance says.
Charming little chapter. Meanwhile Toby encounters Blueblood and gives him his own greeting, and cue Blueblood's horr-enthusiasm when he finds that Toby Tsuki Usagi, is a high ranking foreign ambassador. Since Blueblood is a diplomat, (well as the Shining and Blueblood comic indicates), he will a lot of him the future.

Toby is best bunny and dream warrior!
8005603 Typos may think they belong in the dream worlds, but you're proving them wrong!
When a dreamer is feeling cranky, Toby is here to chew carrots and hug asses. And he is all out of carrots.
Toby-Celestia cuddles inbound.

Toby is very helpful, but in many cases, being helpful can ean pushing the button that lets the magic blue smoke out. Shortly followed by everyone turning into a shadow of themselves on the wall.
Wherefor - Wherefore
How are you are - How are you
are(Possibly not a typo and just Toby being adorably ungrammatical?)Tobly - Toby
This is doubly funny because Toby does not know that 'wherefore' means 'why?' and not 'where?' but Toby is trying hard and doing well!
8025538 It amuses me that Toby went transgender and it wasn't a minor thing. It wasn't a thing at all.
Well I see Sombra is up to his old tricks. I hope he gets turned to a statue and banished to the moon for this.
8025696 Sombra is known for... bad dreams?
8025840
It just feels like something he would do. Unless this is Nightmare Moon trying another power play and using poor Toby as an unwitting pawn.
Tsuki is just too nice. I get the feeling that his people would get along great with the ponies if not for that whole Sombra issue.
Since esentially nothing is known of this Sombra, even assumptions can be dangerously wrong?
Dah, now the ponies have new friends! Let's see how great this friendship becomes.
I have this image of Twilight and Mr Slant working together on the treaty.
I love that Sombra has no idea what he's doing and is just winging it.
8039585 Toby is trying to help!
8039725 "Whatever your offer is, we're worth twice as much!"
8039731 That was Sombra's strategy, yes. :D
8039733 Also, based on Toby's description of the current state of Tsuki currency, I love imagining Sombra collecting his royal salary. As King, he must be paid like ten belly-rubs a day!
100 moons = 2953.0589 days = 2953.0589/365.25 years = 8.085 years.

Toby is good Diplomat.
Likes things good in different ways.
Can take the slap down to the enemy when the enemy comes biting.
Perhaps he was expecting to simply have the money, instead of spending it?
So, is this what Toby would have done to Sombra if Sombra stayed stubborn? Or if he displays future malfeasance?
The action was fine, though.
8056998 Can't someone have their cake and eat it too?
8057005
I joke, but I can see where his paranoia comes from. He trades a good for money, then is immediately offered a service to spend the money on. What if the service is being overvalued, and being offered to make the two transactions result in trading a bunch of goods for petty services?
I do hope Sombra didn't send the shadow creatures himself.
8056998 I think his original plan was just to take the money back and sit on it like a dragon's hoard.
Well Luna it is time to consult Tobin's Spirt Guide. Twilight should have a current copy.
If a Class 8 is so dangerous, I woudlve thought they dont get class 10s. As a class 9 dreamer has a pretty good chance of scaring themselves to death fairly quickly?
Sombras own mental defenses.. or his umbral Tantabus?
8072015 You're assuming each class is directly 'worse' than the one before it. They're just different. Class 8 is full fear of death, be it yourself or others. Class 10 is nothing. Nothing. Not even the dreamer. It is a void.
Oh Sombrero, we you ever not take the chance to insult the ponies if Equestria like you've got a huge chip on your and are trying to justify it?
There's no eyroll emote. Imagine one, please.
VERY good story!
Sombra is going to pick up on a two day old teleport trail and analyze it for the location of the other end, or he recognises the descirtion of power, and so type of teleport used, so he has a good idea where to go, because he went there himself?
No typos!
You nearly made me cry today, Mr. Silver. Poor Summer Splash. I hope she's legit, she feels honest and sincere.
Thank goodness Toby was there to give the hugs that Sunbutt could not.
Well let's see how Sombra and Luna deal with this apparent upstart. I cannot see Luna staying on the sidelines for long on this one.
