//------------------------------// // Is that what I think it is? // Story: Supermoon // by JediWyrm //------------------------------// Twilight was excited. Tonight was a supermoon. She has everything set up to enjoy the night until the moon hit it's peak. Several books, candles for light, a thermos of hot chocolate Spike made for her, a small telescope for stargazing and for checking out the moon, a comfortable and warm blanket, and a soft pillow for Twilight to lay on. She was enjoying the night, reading the books on astronomy and charting the stars on the night sky. She had gotten involved enough that she didn't notice the moon until midnight. The moon was as close to Equestria as it will be for several years and show give a great view to all those looking at it. Twilight was all set to enjoy the view when she noticed something. Something that would probably be causing confusion amongst every stargazer out there. A cape. The moon had a cape on it. 'That shouldn't be there.' Thought Twilight. 'It can't be real, it has to be an illusion. If it was real that would require the entirety of the textiles industry to work solely on it for several years. Since Rarity hadn't turned into a raging demoness about the lack of materials, that didn't happen.' She grabbed several other more powerful telescopes to get a better look. It didn't take long before she had tried every one she had. Spike was still sleeping so she took off and flew towards Canterlot. Knocking of the door had little affect so Twilight had to take a more direct approach to waking the large form laying on the bed. Waving a cup of freshly brewed coffee underneath the white muzzle caused it to twitch. Soon enough a drowsy Solar Diarch was dragging herself out of the bed. "Celestia, somepony messed with the moon." Twilight said semi-franticly, pulling the much larger alicorn to a window to show the moon to her. "Mmhrmph. Moon problem, moon princess. Luna's job." Celestia sleepily mumbled before crawling back into bed. Twilight darted out through the castle to find the Lunar Diarch. It didn't take too long as the princess had a routine she followed. "Princess Luna." Twilight said loudly as she came up on her. "Princess Twilight. What may I ask precipitated this visit?" Luna asked. "There is a cape on your moon." Twilight explained. "I know." The older alicorn replied. "You know?" "Yes. I put it there. A wonderful illusion if I say so." Luna stated. "Why would you put a cape on the moon?" Twilight questioned. "Because it's a supermoon." Luna said matter-of-factually.
