Once in a Blue Moon

by Riptid3


Hoofston, We have a problem.

"Wait what?!" You exclaim

"It is clear that you have failed to pass inspection and that we must banish you to the moon." Celestia said

"FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS MY WISHES HAVE COME TRUE!" Canyon said

You raise an eyebrow at him and so do the other two princesses.

"Oh um... I meant to say sorry." Canyon said

You pray to yourself that perhaps that noise was nothing but a mere vase break.

"Celestia, you haven't even inspected the damage yet. We have to make sure that our information is correct now don't we?" You said

Celestia raises an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Very well. But if I find the damage too excessive, you WILL be sent to the moon. No trials." The sun goddess said

You get off the chair and walk over to the door. You open it to find Riptide standing at the door way, his armor had dents all over it.

"What's going on out there?" You ask

"Well, everything was going fine until all of a sudden the door started creaking and soon enough it just exploded." Riptide said

You curse. There was no one for you to blame.

"Try and fix it." You said

"How long do we have?" Riptide said

"About fifteen seconds." You say

"Clear the room in fifteen seconds?! That's bollocks!"

"Do your best!"

You close the door and turn around. Celestia had an expression on her face as if she had a battle of emotions going on in her head.

"Maybe I was a bit harsh. Perhaps I can overlook this. After all you did try and for once-" Celestia said

Before the alicorn could finish, there was a loud *BOOM* from outside as the walls rattled. Dust rained down on you all. Celestia closed her eyes and so did the others. Cadence sneezed. Canyon growled.

When Celestia opened her eyes again. She was clearly irritated.

"Someone just earned himself a trip to the moon." Celestia said

"C'mon 'Tia, just give me one more chance, I can-"

*Boop*. You find yourself on the moon, literally staring into space as you beg at empty air.

"So much for mercy." You grumble

You look around. The moon was literally a ball of dust and dirt. There was nothing and absolutely nothing around here. You decide to explore a bit. Maybe you'd find something interesting.

Before you go off, you magnetize yourself to try and find any metal around you. Even underground, any kind of metal would immediately fly towards you if you magnetized yourself.

Within seconds, two white circular objects fly out of nowhere and smash at your hooves. You use your magic and pick one of them up. Green light encases the object as you pick it up. Closer inspection revealed that it had a little hole with blue light coming out of it. You assumed this was it's eye. And around the rim of the eye were two handle-like things.

"What are you?" You ask

The object's eye dart back and forth before talking. It spoke with a British accent.

"What? Where am I? Am I on the moon? Wasn't already sent there?" The object says

It focuses it's eye on you and you can see it widen as soon as it did.

"Oh! A sentient being! Finally some one can send me back! Oh, if you don't mind, could you perhaps just chuck me towards the little blue planet there? Yes, the one with green and white stuff on it, and by the way, name's Whe-"

Before the thing could finish, you chuck it away.

"Meh, reminds me of Riptide, but too annoying." You say to yourself

You turn your attention to the second object. You pick it up and it stares at you with an orange eye as opposed to the other one.

"Hello. And what kind of wisdom do YOU hold?" You say mockingly

"Spacespacespace, spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!" The object says

"Um, okay?" You say

"I'm in space."

"Me too buddy. Me too."

You chuck it off into the never ending space of... well Space. You look around once more and magnetize again just to make sure. You end up with nothing except a faint signal of metal on the other half of the moon. In other words, the dark side of the moon.

"Meh, nothing to do here anyways." You say

You walk. No set destination in mind, only the faint signal of metal driving you on. Maybe there was some kind of robot on the other end. Or whatever.

You continue walking. It was hard walking on the moon, it felt like you were going to fly off at any second. You pressed on and continued walking, even if you did look like a retard doing it.

Eventually you arrived at the border where darkness turned to light. Literally is was just one straight line. You were standing on the safe reaches of the light. And on the other side...

It was about 0.05% dimmer.

"So much for the dark side." You mutter to yourself

You take a hoof forward across the border. Unsurprisingly, no tentacle rape occurs. You continue walking forwards since you have nothing else to do anyways. The metal signal is stronger than ever.

It doesn't take long for you to find it. Your little signal leads you to a cave. All you could see inside was darkness. You light up your horn and walk into the cave. Unaware of what dangers lay ahead.

Or "lack of dangers" to be accurate.

You walk through the mysterious cavern. Your horn acting as a torch. Throughout your whole search, you couldn't help but feel somepony watching you. Multiple times you turn around expecting to see a hideous creature ready to pounce and strip your flesh off your bones.

But it never did happen.

You were starting to get bored. No, wait... You WERE bored. You kick a wall out of frustration and the whole cavern shakes, threatening to come crashing down on you.

"Okay, okay, that's a good wall. Not gonna hit you again." You say

You sigh and turn around only to face a midnight blue alicorn mare with a flowing blue mane. She wore a black bib with a picture of the moon on it. Her cutiemark was a moon, but her hindquarters looked as if they'd been dipped in ink.

"SPEAK THY INTENTIONS OR PERISH!" The alicorn mare says
