//------------------------------// // Who to love // Story: Moonshine's confused love // by MoonShine //------------------------------// Moonshine’s confused love – chapter 2 Last chapter: Over in the observatory on the outskirts of Ponyville, there is a unicorn called Dr Atom Discharge, he’s a maroon stallion, black hair with a single white stripe in it, he wears glasses and his cutie mak is an atom. He’s always studying the stars and physics but whilst he is looking through his telescope and a clipboard floating by his side he hears Moonshine’s scream, he drops the clipboard, lifts his head from the eyepiece, uses his magic to put his glasses on and walks over to the balcony. He looks down at Ponyville searching for the source of the screaming. Moments later he hears the second scream, he sharply points his head towards Twilight’s to see a pony figure disappear as the door closes. “Twilight!” he shouts to himself as he runs out of the observatory towards the library. Whilst the two of them are making out on the floor Dr Atom knocks on the door shouting, “Twilight, are you alright? I heard some screaming!” there was no response, he then uses his magic to open the door, frantically searching the library before finding the two on the floor lost in a lustful moment, “Oh my. I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” He apologised as he went to leave. Moonshine lifts her head, licks at Twilight’s horn then sees him. “Oh, hello there, come to join in have we? She asks as she stands up and limps towards him slowly, soon they are face to face, she flutters her eyes a little, looks at his horn then back into his eyes with a wide grin. She goes to kiss him when he realises she is in some sorts of lustful trance, he uses his magic to create a thunderclap that startles her bringing her out of the trance. She blushes bright red as she notices what she was about to do, she looks behind to see a lavender mare sprawled out on the floor with more than one liquid oozing from her body. She blushes even brighter even chuckling a little from embarrassment, as she was about to apologise Spike walks down the stairs half awake, “Hey, what going on down here Twi...OH MY GOSH!” he shouts out in surprise as he sees Twilight laid on the floor covered in all sorts of messy stuff. He walks up to Atom and looks at him up and down, shakes his head then the same with the sweaty mare stood next to him. “It was you, wasn’t it?” he questions, pointing at Moonshine. She knods quickly, proud of herself, she then pushes herself up against Atom as she gives him a look. She then insists they walk back to his place, they then leave with Twi awake just enough to see them go. She then groans in a rather depressed way. Spike comes over to help her. “Why did she have to leave?” she groans to him, confused by the situation her helps up to her bed, still covered in oozing liquids, washes his claws , tucks her in before going back to bed himself. Moonshine staring into Atom’s eyes whilst he resists to look back hoping that if he didn’t she wouldn’t do anything. A few moments later he went to start a conversation about the stars as he looks of at them but she puts a hoof to his lips to silence him, she removes her hoof to replace it with a pair of lips. He tried to pull back from shock as she put a hoof behind his head to stop him. The kiss intensifies as Moonshine moves herself toward him, pushing herself against him trying to topple him, he keep his balance and eventually he manages to think of what to do. He uses his magic to pull her off himself, sits her down to one side and continues to walk home. Moonshine sat on her rump in the middle of the path, tears starting to well up in her eyes, head starting to shake lightly as she bites her lower lip in an attempt to hold it in. It doesn’t work, soon after she bursts out in tears as he can be seen in the far distance. She lowers her head to the ground covering it with both hooves. Slowly falling asleep as her energy is sapped from her as she cries her heart out. At the library Twilight wakes up suddenly from the thought of what happened last night, “MOONSHINE!” she shouts out to herself, looking round the room to see nothing but can feel dampness on the bed, she looks down on the bed to see the bed soaked in the liquids from last night, she takes a minute to realise what it is, suddenly jumping off the bed in disgust knowing she slept in it. Spike already downstairs doing his chores, she rushes down knocking a few books off their shelves from force of her hooves against the stairs. Spike immediately glares at her, picks them up and begins to put them back, “Sorry Spike, I didn’t mean to do that. I was going out to look for somepony.” She tells him as he stops and looks over to her in realisation. “You’re going to look for her?” he asked. “Who Spike? I don’t know who I’m looking for...well I do but not by name.” “Well I know she did something rather horrible to you....and then walked off with a dark Maroon stallion, Dr Atom! That’s his name.” Her ears prick as she hears that name, she then slowly heads for the door, looks out towards the observatory. Her face lowers as she becomes more upset from Moonshine leaving, just then Rainbow Dash lands directly in-front of the door. “Hay, Twilight. You’re up late. You alrig....Twi? You’ve got something in you mane.” She points out to to her, Twi grabs at her mane in an attempt to hide the substance. “No I don’t. Anyway, what do you want Rainbow?” Rainbow suspicious of her hiding the thing in her mane, “I came to tell you that that horrible mare that was with you last night is asleep outside on a path near the Everfree forest.” Twilight’s face beams as she now knew who that mare would be, she dashes past Rainbow knocking her over and races towards the observatory. “Erm....I guess you don’t want breakfast then?!” Spike shouts out to her as she soon is out of earshot, holding a tray with her breakfast on it. “I’ll have it!” Rainbow exclaims, jumps up and slams her head into the bowl of food. Moonshine slowly wakes up, eyes sore from the previous river flowing from her eyes. She opens her eyes laboriously, “Why can’t I make up my mind? Do I not know who I love? The Princess, Twilight, that other one.....I guess not. Why must I molester ponies so? Maybe I should stay away from everypony, that would be best for them all.” She mutters to herself. Moments later rapid hoof steps can be heard from behind her, she sharply looks over at the source to see Twilight racing over towards her; she jumps up and slowly backs away in the opposite direction as Twi picks up the speed. “Please stay away from me, for your own good.” She asks too quiet for Twi to hear. As she approaches closer to her, Moonshine flies off towards the middle of the Everfree forest in hope that she would follow her and to get a gap between them, soon she changes her mind and flies directly upwards towards the closest cloud, soon reaching it and hiding her head in it. Twilight slows down to a stop and watches as she flies off, “Please don’t go! I want to talk to you!” she shouts out to Moonshine but in vein. She then thinks of what to do and decides to go to Atom’s to see if he can tell her what got Moonshine worked up. Atom is looking through the eyepiece of the telescope, not to the sky but instead using it to look around Equestria in hope to see if he can find Moonshine to observe her and what she does. After a few minute of searching he finds nothing, lifts his head and bashes it off the desk as if to punish him for something he did. Seconds later he lifts his head and gives it one last try, looks into the eyepiece, searches and sees her flying up onto a cloud in a hurry and bury her head in it. He lowers the elevation of the telescope to look down to the floor to see a little mare stood looking up at her. The mare then walks towards the observatory, he notices the face of the mare and jolts back in realisation, “Twilight?! Oh no. Please don’t come here. I didn’t mean to upset her. I didn’t intend for this.” He tells himself as he looks around as if panicking whilst thinking of what to do. Moments later there is a soft knock on the door. His face full of fear as hoped that he wouldn’t have to explain to Twilight what happened last night. Despite this he didn’t want to be rude and approached the door, soon reaching it, his horn glows as it unlocks the door and opens it, it slowly creaks open revealing a mare stood in-front of him.
