Chapter 11

It has been a month since that night with Luna. Twilight taught me to read Equestrian (and let me tell you this, learning a completely different alphabet with fifty letters will give you an Ursa Major size headache) and more spells.

Rainbow Dash teaching me more of how to control the weather (so she could pull off bigger pranks, though I don't blame her, they were funny pranks), and seeing her getting her pet tortoise, which she named Tank, (I curse myself for explaining to Rainbow Dash about our form of transportation, and vehicles).

Pinkie Pie sharing and teaching her knowledge of her techniques, which I won't explain, (but she keeps yelling into the sky saying something about cupcakes, and to leave her alone) but once again I find myself in odd places, like in a school bell, in a trunk, and the most of all (which I still don't understand) in a coach. Man I feel bad for that pony when he found me in the coach, (which was the same one, whom I nearly gave a heart attack to) it must not be his luck.

Helping Applejack around the farm, which in turn she pays me, for all the work I do. Now I have money, so I won't be a freeloader anymore.

Helping Fluttershy with her animal friends, which she finally gotten over her shyness over me.

Getting my new clothes from Rarity and paying for them, and also leaving a generous tip for her.

And of course meeting Luna every week for this past month, we don't do much, but at those times we sat there, staring into the night sky. We also talked about our worlds, our cultures, currency, and its people.

Everything was going just fine, until a letter delivered, by a slight unfocused eyes pagasus (actually crashed into) Ditzy Doo, made everything great. I gave Ditzy a muffin I pulled out of nowhere (a unique talent, taught by Pinkie) and gave it to her, she looked confused, but then that was her natural look, then she smiled and ate it in one gulp, and flew off, right into a tree.

I winced when I heard her crashed into the tree, then fell to the ground, but then jumped up shook her head, "are you ok? "I asked concerned.

"I'm alright, Doctor Whooves fix me up with something so I don't feel a lot of pain."

"But I thought the Doctor was just a made up pony."

"Nope he is real, and I really need to get going, cause I am meeting him right now, "and with that she flew off into a different direction, wow, I guess when you crash enough, you develop immunity to them, though I am bit of concern for her mind sake. I stared at Ditzy until she disappeared, I looked at the letter:

You are here by invited.

I looked in it and read it, and smiled.

Twilight's POV

I was finishing putting back the books unto the shelves in order, when, "hey Twilight."

I screamed and jumped into the air with fright, and released a blinding spell.

"Aw, my eyes,"I turned around, and saw J.C. on the ground rubbing his eyes, "well sorry, but that's what you get for scaring me. "

After J.C. vision came back he said, "Funny that was Applejack said, but she bucked at me, luckily she missed, Fluttershy, I scared her into a tree, and had to coax her down, Rarity, she fainted, so I had wake her, with Pinkie she didn't even flinch at all, and Rainbow, well let's say that she will be here any minute now, "and right there and then Dash came right though the window and yelled, "you are going to get it, "she flew and him and pinned him to the ground, "that's for scaring me off of my cloud when I was sleeping."

"Sorry, Dash, but I need you here, "he then looked at me and said, "now Twilight, you better open the door for the rest of the group."

"What are you talkin-, "but I was interrupted by knocking on my door, "this is a library, the door is open, "I yelled.

As my friends came in, and some explaining we sat in the second level of my home, and let J.C. explain his story.

J.C. POV

"Ok now that everypony is here and sorry's made,"I said looking around to everypony in the room, "but I have great news, we all have been invited to a gathering, "I said as I was giving Twilight the letter, she took it in her magical grasp and read:

Dear J.C.

You and your friend are hereby invited for the gathering of my birth, and would like if you all could come. Please send a letter of acceptance if you choose to come, if yes then a carriage will come today at the hour before sunset, at the home of Twilight Sparkle.

Princess Luna

"So should we go? "I asked, Pinkie was the first to answer, "hay yea, this is party, let alone a birthday party, those only come around once a year, I'm so excited, "giggled Pinkie.

Everypony agreed that they should all go, so Twilight wrote up a letter saying that we all accept, and gave it to Owlowiscious, the owl gave a "who" and flew off towards the castle.

Twilight said, "Alright everypony, we have a few hours till the carriage gets here, so let's get ready."

"Oh I can't wait to try on the gorgeous dress I made, "said Rarity.

As if on cue there was a knock on the door. Twilight went downstairs to see who was at the door, she came back a few seconds later Twilight came back up, with a letter, and said, "That was Ditzy Doo, and of course she had a letter that was suppose to deliver with the invite, but hay, Ditzy Doo is Ditzy Doo."

"P.S. this gathering is an formal attire, so Rarity you can relax with the gowns, Princess Luna, "read Twilight. I looked at Rarity and she had a down look, but then smiled, "wow, Princess Luna sure do know her subjects. "

Few hours later

We were waiting outside, when the flying carriage arrived at the time it was suppose to. The pegasus that was pulling the carriage looked at me, if you can somepony the stink eye with showing any emotion, these guys got it mastered down, we boarded the carriage and immediately took off when everypony was secure, and headed towards the palace.

When we got to the palace, we were welcomed as honored guests, as I thank the pegasus drivers, which shocked them a little to show a little facial expression, Dash looked at me and said,"I made funny faces, and jokes, trying to get them show some kind of expression, and all you said was thank you,"I laughed at her disbelief, but my laughing was cut short when Princess Luna came up to us and said, "it's good to see you all here my friends, now follow me."

We followed the Princess into a great hall where there was a giant table set upped with food on it. I look at the food selection and found that there was a lot of inedible food, "um, sorry for complaining but I can't eat this food.

"Oh sorry J.C., I forgot, but I will get the chief to make something edible for you, what can you eat, "I explained what I can eat (I didn't mention that I eat meat, so I only mentioned greens that have high protein count). Luna made the order and said, "Ok, now everypony sit down and enjoy the meal, and J.C. while your meal is being made, will you please join me, "and walked off towards a far door in the room.

I looked at everypony, and they had the same look on their face as mine, confusion. I followed Luna through the door and found myself in a staircase going up.

I went up the stairs and found myself on a balcony with Luna on the edge, and then a thought came to me, "you didn't forget what I eat, didn't you, "I asked.

Luna smiled slyly and said, "maybe, but I want to show you something. "

"What?"

"Well it's just that you never saw how I raise the moon, so I want show you."

With that she turned towards the sky and her horn started to glow. She became enveloped in a vortex of magic. Stars are forming in the vortex, when she finished charging her spell. She flew into air and released her spell, which shot into the sky, I saw the moon rising with Luna magical aura around it, bring the stars along with it.

"Beautiful."

"Indeed, my sister can make a beautiful night."

I jumped when I heard the voice, I turned around and saw Princess Celestia there giggling when she scared me, "how did you do that?"

"Not telling, but let tell you something."

"What? "I asked, wondering.

"My sister haven't anypony to get her to open up since she came back from a 1000 years of banishment, and I see that she has feelings for you, which I haven't seen for a long time, "then she looked serious at me, "if I find her feelings hurt and heartbroken because of you, I will send you to the sun, got it."

My face paled and gulped, ok don't piss off the sun princess, I nodded with understanding.

She smiled and turned towards her sister, I looked up too, and I asked, "Hey princess, what was that spell you were going to do when I first got here?"

"It was a teleportation spell to the sun, "she replied. I looked back at her to give my look horror to her, but she is gone.

"Did you see J.C.?"Luna asked as she landed.

"Yes it was beautiful, like you."

She blushed at that and said, "Well your food should be done, so let's get back to the others."

We left the balcony, and headed back to the others, when I realized something, "shoot I forgot to get you a gift."

"Don't worry. This is the first time I have been back in a thousand years, so that means I have about a thousand unopened presents to open anyway, "she said, giggling at my shocked face.
