"I said no Pinkie Pie" Jason said shaking his head, looking at the pink colored pony "Your Pinkie Sense nearly drove me nuts the first time, I really don't want to experience that again" he chuckled nervously.
Said pony hopped up and down in front of him "Come on, it was amazing! I've never seen anypony do something like that" she laughed "You were all over the place"
Jason shook his head again "Yeah, because I could feel so many bad things, even though they didn't happen" he shivered a bit "It clouded over everything I could feel" he said softly.
She blinked and nodded "Alright Jason" she said, giving up after seeing how he was reacting. She didn't feel anything strange from her Pinkie Sense. It must've had something to do with the fact that he wasn't a pony. He wasn't able to fly when he borrowed the skills of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. He also couldn't suddenly use magic like Rarity or Twilight.
Maybe her Pinkie Sense didn't work well with him because he couldn't handle it?
Jason poked her forehead "Hey, what is up?" he asked "You kinda zoned out for a little while" he smiled "Everything alright?"
She smiled and laughed "Yep, just fine" she said "I got a little lost in my head is all" she pushed him with her hoof "So what are you going to do now?"
He ran his fingers through his hair "I am going to go get some sleep" he said softly and yawned "I've been playing with this ability a little too much" he said "I need to rest"
Jason had learned a few things, specifically the fact that he couldn't borrow the abilities of any other ponies other than the Mane Six. Using Twilight's mind, he'd been able to figure out that it was somehow tied to the Elements of Harmony. He'd figured out that while he couldn't absorb magic from something, he could absorb magic used against him. He'd also been able to work with Rarity and create some new clothing for himself.
It had been nearly a week since he first found the Elements and he'd been adjusting a little bit more every day. He didn't have a cutie mark and no specific skill set, so he occupied himself by doing odd jobs for ponies around town. It was mostly for fun and no pony seemed to mind the extra help.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders really liked him because of the fact that he didn't have a Cutie Mark and the fact that he was pretty much the strangest thing they'd ever seen.
He smiled and left Pinkie Pie to her own and headed back to Twilight's to get some much needed sleep. He'd started staying there as it was a more open space. He sighed as he laid down rubbing his face. He wondered if Luna was going to appear in his dreams again. He wanted to see her.
Jason then blushed at the thought. Sure, he was attracted to Luna. The fact that she was of another species wasn't much of a problem, you really couldn't help who you were attracted to, you could just hope that they felt the same way.
But she was a Princess. How could he ever hope to measure up to that? Not to mention the fact that she might not be interested in another species than her own. He groaned and rolled over, shutting his eyes.
Of course the idea that he shouldn't be thinking romantic thoughts about Luna right before he went to sleep didn't cross his mind until the last second, right before he fell asleep.
This obviously colored his dream-scape. It was night and the moon was full and in the shape of a heart and cast a beautiful silvery light across the grass land that ranged out from the hill. Mixed in with the grass, there were many pure black Lilies with white insides.
Jason shook his head and sighed, amazed at what his mind could come up with in the time he fell asleep. He already knew that Luna was on her way as he only knew he was dreaming when she arrived.
He even heard her as she stepped up behind him, the wind blowing around them "Good evening Luna" he said turning his head and looking at her.
She smiled and stood next to him "Good evening Jason, it is nice to see you again" she looked around "Interesting choice of scenery" she grinned "Very romantic"
He blushed "Luna, I didn't mean to have it look like this, it just happened" he said shaking his head.
She chuckled softly "It is quite alright, I've been aware of your feelings for me for a while" she looked at him seriously "Jason...to be honest, I do find you very attractive, both intellectually and physically.."
Jason blinked and heard something in her voice "But...?" he asked.
She sighed "As quick as usual" she said "But, I don't think my sister would approve of you" she said.
"Celestia? Why?" he asked. He couldn't see Celestia being disapproving of any being without due cause.
She shook her head, her beautiful mane flowing around her head "I am at a loss as to why" she said "She's been so secretive about everything concerning you or where you are from" she frowned "It is frustrating to deal with as she just keeps her mouth shut every single time I bring the subject up"
This was interesting news. He hadn't expected that Celestia would be keeping secrets from anyone. It wasn't like her. At least not like the image of her that he had formed of her.
Celestia knew something and he was going to find out "Luna...I'd like to talk to your sister, is there some way I could get in touch with her" he scratched his head "I mean, I suppose I could travel to Canterlot, but I'd hate to show up unannounced, that would be rude"
She laughed and gave him a small kiss on the cheek "I can arrange everything for you to travel here" she said "You can announce your arrival through Spike" she grinned "I am sure that will surprise her"
He was a little stunned from her kiss, even if it had just been on his cheek "Ah...uh..I suppose that can work" he said "I am sure Spike will help me send a letter" he shook his head and chuckled "You sure know how to fluster a guy Luna"
She smirked "I spent a lot of time in the moon, trapped within Nightmare's mind" she said "I had plenty of time to imagine romantic scenarios" she turned starting to walk away "Though only recently have they begun to involve a certain bipedal creature"
He blushed before he remembered what had happened to him "Oh Luna, I never asked but why don't I absorb the magic you use to enter my dreams when you use it?" he'd already had a long talk with her about his abilities, though he couldn't copy her personality as the dream version of her wasn't her real body.
She smiled at him "I've thought about that actually, I think it is because I am not using the magic on you" she giggled a little "I use a spell on myself that allows me to place my image in a pony's dreams, connecting my mind with theirs"
Jason looked thoughtful "That is pretty amazing" he smiled "Well thanks for enlightening me, I guess I'll be seeing you face to face soon"
Luna nodded and opened her wings, taking flight "I await your arrival Jason" she said before vanishing.
He ran a hand through his hair and frowned "What is Celestia hiding from us?" he wondered. He was sure she had some good reason, but he still didn't want things hidden from him. If Celestia had any information on how he'd gotten to this world, he wanted to know.
He sighed and sat down, laying back starting to think up the letter he would write to send to the Princess. He wanted information from her but didn't want to come right out and say it for fear that she would turn him down. It was possible that he could use visiting Luna as an excuse.
Jason was sure that Celestia already knew about Luna's visits to his dreams, so it wouldn't come as a surprise that he wanted to visit her and he did, it just wasn't the only reason.
He groaned and figured that he would come up with a good plan eventually. He shut his eyes, slowly falling deeper into his dream, into a part where he wasn't aware.
