//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Moondancing // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// The next day, Moon Dancer wakes up when she smells stuffed pastry baking in the kitchen. She then goes there and is greeted by Spike and Twilight. "Good morning, Moon Dancer," says Spike with a smile. "Good morning to you too, Spike," replies Moon Dancer. Spike then sits her and Twilight down and brings them the fresh baked apple stuffed pastry. He then goes and gets himself one and sits down with them. As the three enjoy their breakfast, they continue to talk. "What's life like in Canterlot nowadays?" asks Spike. "It's so so," replies Moon Dancer, "it hasn't been the same since Lyra moved here to Ponyville to live with Bon Bon." "I heard about that," responds Twilight, "how are the others taking it?" "Better than I am, I assure you," replies Moon Dancer. "Now what are the plans for the day? I know how you are about planning everything." Twilight blushes then tells Moon Dancer the schedule. "First off, I thought we'd go out to the fair ground today, then lunch, maybe ice cream, and then a Coloratura concert tonight." "Sounds like fun, I can't wait!" replies Moon Dancer as she eats the last crumbs off her plate. Spike then takes hers and Twilight's and his own empty plate over to the sink and washes them. Once he's done, the three head off to the fair ground for the day. At the fair grounds, Twilight and Moon Dancer enjoy playing ring toss and the other traditional games while Spike is over playing Space Sprocket, the newest alien shooting game in the kiddie area. Twilight smiles at him and giggles then looks back to Moon Dancer. "I'm glad you're here," she sighs. "Me too," replies Moon Dancer, "Canterlot gets old after awhile." The two then break out laughing. A few minutes later, Twilight hears Moon Dancer shout, "I win!" before accepting her prize of a giant stuffed Luna doll. Twilight just smiles. The two then head over to the Ferris wheel after providing Spike with a few more bits for a few more rounds of Space Sprocket. On the Ferris wheel, the two enjoy themselves especially as they approach the top, where they ooh and aah when they touch the skyline. The Ferris wheel then makes its way back around and to the ground. Once the two are off, they go and get some ice cream, cotton candy, and popcorn. As they enjoy their treats, the two laugh, joke, and tell stories. Meanwhile, Spike has fallen asleep at the Space Sprocket game and Twilight picks him up with her magic and lowers him onto her back. She and Moon Dancer then go off and play ball toss, with Moon Dancer winning yet another stuffed doll, this time, one that looks like Celestia. Three hours later, the two return to Twilight's and get cleaned up before the concert and getting Spike tucked into bed. After tucking him in and washing up, the two head off to the concert, where they get some very good seats since they are earlier than everypony else. An hour later, the concert begins. As Coloratura appears on the stage, Moon Dancer can't help but smile. She then realizes Applejack standing next to her and Twilight. "Hey AJ," says Moon Dancer. "Oh, hi Moon Dancer," replies AJ. "You're about to see a real treat." Twilight shushes them and the three listen, eyes on Coloratura as she begins to sing. The three smile as they enjoy the concert. They even sing along to the final song, "I'm Just a Pony", along with Rara. A few hours later, the three head off to meet up for dinner with Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy. A few minutes later at the Hayburger, all the friends sit down around the table and order several hayburgers and horse shoe fries. They all then begin to talk about the concert, gulping down burgers and fries every three sentences. The group has an amazing time together up until Twilight and Moon Dancer leave only because Spike is home alone. As they leave, their friends wave goodbye. Twilight and Moon Dancer smile back at them and wave in return. A half hour later back at the castle, Twilight and Moon Dancer check on Spike, who is still fast asleep, luckily. Once they are sure he's asleep, the two head off to bed themselves. Tomorrow, Twilight has another day of fun for them to enjoy together. She can't wait!
