A Day at the Lake
The walk to the lake was very eventful. Some of Dan’s friends would pop up on the way there. They were shocked at first cause of his appearance but after Luna insured that it was Bright Star they warmed up to his new appearance. They talked and chatted with him as if he was still in pony form. Final when they reached the lake Pinkie set up everything within a second. Soon everypony was playing and having fun. Dan was happy he was back, back to his real friends and family and to be back in his real home. Soon Pinkie popped up with another pony Dan didn’t know.
“Hi Star or Dan… or whatever since you will be called Star soon anyways.This is my coltfriend MusicNote” she explained very fast as she pointed to the pony next to her. She went up to him and gave him a big kiss” We are so in love. Me and him having been dating for the past year.”
Dan blinked had everything he just heard. That was a lot to take in within 15 seconds. He looked over at Luna but all she did was shrugged and smile.
MusicNote seemed kinda of quite. He was a unicorn with a gray coat. His mane was colored black and white the same for his tail. His cutie mark was a music note. He also wore a pair of headphones.
“Pleased to meet you MusicNote” Dan said as he held out a fist. MusicNote was shy at first but after pinkie nodded at him he put a smile on his face and put his hoof up to Dan’s hand.
“it’s a true honor to meet you” MusicNote finally said to Dan.
Dan smiled at replied “thanks.” Dan thought of something and looked at MusicNote
“Come with me real quick”
He and MusicNote went over to the lakes side and stared at their friends playing.
“So you’re dating Pinkie, right” Dan asked
MusicNote seemed hesitant to say anything but managed to finally say something “Yes”
“Alright,” Dan said as he turned to MusicNote “I’ll warn you now. If you hurt her me and you are gonna make cupcakes you got that?”
MusicNote stared at Dan in wonderment what that meant. They way he said sounded like making cupcakes was bad.
“I got you” he replied
“Good. Now let’s go party.”
Every now and again Celestia would go off and move the sun but she would also enjoy herself. She even got in the water which surprised the hay out of Dan. Rarity and Twilight didn’t go into the water they manly stayed out. Eventually Dan and Luna got bored and joined the others. Dan taught them how to play chicken. It was him and Big Mac vs Luna and Celestia. Him and Big Mac lost everytime.After the fourth game Dan called quits and got out the water. Luna and Celestia where running around the water with their hoofs up in the air. That was a sight that made Dan nearly die of laughter.
When he went to retrieve his shrt it was missing. He looked around but didn’t see it. Then he heard the bushes near him move. Finally he knew where is shirt was.
“Oh I wonder where my shirt has gone is it here” he said looking up at a tree branch. Giggling came from the bush. “No than maybe it’s here” he said as he plunged his hands into the bush.
When he did that three images popped out and tackled him
“Star” screamed The Cutie Mark Crusaders in unison. The all nudged their faces into his shoulders.
“Hi guys” Dan said as he rubbed their heads.
Scootaloo had his shirt on her head.
“Scoots, can I please have my shirt back?” he asked
“I don’t know. Do you think you can catch us?” Scootaloo said as she and the other two ran around keeping the shirt away from him.
“GIRLS” screamed Rarity as she walked up to them “Give back that shirt to Star?”
They payed her no attention “Girls” she screamed “Arg. Fluttershy” she called over to Fluttershy ”Can you be a dear and tell the girls to give Star back his shirt. It was very delicate to make”
Futtershy smiled “Of course, Girls” instantly the three friends zoomed over
“Yes Fluttershy” the said in unison
“Do you think you can give back Star his shirt”
The three friends went over and Dan picked up his shirt. He smiled as the three friends went off and played more.
“Thanks Flutters” Dan said as he hugged his oldest friend.
“Don’t mention it” replied Fluttershy as she flew off to join Twilight.
He put the shirt back on and remembered something.
“Oh and by the way Rarity thank you for the shirt. How much do I owe you? I think I might have some money back at my house”
“Oh don’t mention it darling. It’s free of charge. But if you need more I will have to charge you for those”
“Alright Rarity, I’ll keep it in mind”
Soon it was Luna’s turn to raise the moon. The only ones left was Dan the two Princesses and the Mane Sic plus MusicNote. Dan started at campfire and they all gathered around it. Luna was leaning up against Dan and had a smile on her face. He did as well. Then out of nowhere he got a crazy idea.
“Hey MusicNote do you think I could get a guitar?”
“Hold on” said MusicNote as he went to the nearest tree and pulled out a guitar.
“I have guitars stashed everywhere. You know for guitar emergencies”
Dan stared at him in amazement
Ok he thought I guess he’s the perfect pony for Pinkie then
“Ok guys I’m gonna sing you a song from my world”
He plucked the strings and began
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who’s is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who’s is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
After he finished the song he stared up at his friends. All them stared at him in amazement.
“That song was so beautiful” Luna finally said
“It’s one of my favorites.” Replied Dan
They all stayed for little while put eventually everypony had to leave. Finally it was just Luna and Dan. Celestia had returned to Canterlot a while ago.
“Do you think you can come with me back to the palace and stay with me for the rest of the night?” she asked still leaning up against him
“Sure” he replied. They both got up and Dan put out the fire.
“Twilight taught me the transport spell, so I think we can get there fast” Luna said
And for the rest of the night Dan stayed with Luna in the throne room to keep her company. Untill morning finally came. Finally Luna lowered the moon for the last time that day.
“Come with me” Luna told Dan as she led her to her bedroom. It had been a while since he had been there He smiled at all the old memories.
“Come sit with me” she coaxed him over to her bed
Dan knew where she was leading him but he was not going to go that far. He was a human and it was wrong.
“Do you think you can sing another song. One for just me” she asked him as she curled up next to him.
Dan smiled at her and pulled up the guitar he brought with him “Of Course”
Heeey heeeey heeeeey
Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeey
Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you being with me
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
She closed her eyes and brought her face closer to his
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Soon he did they same. Closer and closer they drew to each other.
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Finally their lips touched and Luna gave him the most passionate kiss he had ever gotten. Soon she was on her back as they continued.
No Dan thought This is wrong. I’m a human. I can’t do this
“Are we having problems?” Said a voice in his head
He tried to break the kiss when he heard the voice
“Don’t worry. This is happening within a fraction of a second” explained the essence of Nightmare Moon “Now as I said are we having problems?”
What do you think he thought back?
“Is it the whole human and pony thing cause if it is I can fix it”
You can?
“Yeah so the moments you break this kiss watch and be amazed and then I’m out”
After that Dan broke the kiss with Luna and felt a strange sensation. It tingled at first but then he felt normal. He looked at Luna’s face and it was in shock.
“You turned back to normal” she said in amazement
“The essence helped me” he said with a smile and continued the kiss.
That night Luna and Bright Star let nature take its course. Like so many other mornings they had before.
