//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Just Girls Talking // Story: Loved by the Sun and Moon // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// The next day was going pretty well, and Moon was in a pretty good. And then she got called to Celestia's office. "Hello Moon. Do you have a moment?" "I've got some time. So what is it that you want to talk about?" "How were you able to dream walk with Burst last night?" "Oh! I was sleeping with him!" "What?!" "Wait! Not like that! I mean that we share a bed!", Moon panicked while blushing. "Oh. Sorry for that outburst.", Celestia said with a nervous laugh. "Sooo how is it sleeping next to him?" "Well Burst's more comfy than any pillow, and he's pretty warm. I can't help but feel safe with him.", Moon said with a fond smile. "He's like a sleeping dragon. Not to mention we got a good look at what's under his shirt." Moon said with a smirk. "I suppose I should thank you for that little sneak peek last night. Have a good day Celestia. Anything else you want to bring up?" "Actually, yes. My dragons have heard the cries of enslaved dragons. And their cries are close. Almost like they're in the school. I've alerted Sunset and the others. I thought you should know too." "Got it. Now it's just a matter of when this new threat strikes." It struck sooner than expected. The threat was revealed by legendary dragons that Ace had freed. Her name was Starlight Glimmer, and she had been capturing legendary dragons. Soon, she had even tried to attack a group of kids she and Burst had met just the other day. And Moon wasn't going to have any of that! During her duel against Starlight, the elements gave her their power and she ponied-up! With the new form of her ace card, she won the duel easily. Her ponied-up appearance reflected the form she had back in Equestria complete with cat-like eyes, pony ears, and large black wings. She was sure the kids would be scared of her, but they actually went up to her and hugged her. Moon smiled at this, and decided to show off her new form to Burst. When he saw her, his jaw nearly dropped! "You sure got yourself a make-over.", Burst said with a small smile. Moon pulled him close with her wings. "Well now you don't have to worry about me hogging the covers.", Moon said with a giggle as she powered-down. Moon told him about what had happened, and Burst told her he knew what there was to know about this new threat, and sighed as he wished she could see another way. Moon summoned her wings again and pulled him into a hug. "That's probably what Celestia and I love most about you. You're willing to give people a chance to start again. Maybe Starlight will change." "Thanks Moon. I just hope she realizes it before it's too late." The next day, Ace and Shadow had convinced Starlight to see another way. Until the real threat revealed itself. All of them entered Paradox's castle to rescue Starlight, but they got separated into groups Moon was paired up with Celestia, and they defeated the illusion that took on Moon's former self. Celestia and Moon ponied-up to beat her. "Well this is new.", Celestia said as she admired her new form. "But not unwelcome." "Well now you literally have the body of a goddess.", Moon said with a smile. "Poor Burst might get a nosebleed from looking at us." In the end Paradox was defeated, and Starlight was rescued. "Another happy ending.", Moon said with a smile.
