Timid Nightmare

Moon Light's Sontana

After running until they almost collapsed from exhaustion. Fluttershy was exhausted, she never run that fast before. But despite her exhaustion she had noticed how late it started to look. The sun had started to go down already, and the shades of twilight in the clouds were a light orange. She just stared at them a while, thinking of how beautiful they looked, having the sudden urge to fly up into them. She would have if she didn't remember why she was there.

"I'm on a date" she thought to herself, still barley believing it. As her eyes feel away from the clouds her eyes feel upon Moon Light. He was staring at something but it wasn't the sky, it was her. He looked at her with pure wonder, like looking at a work of art. The second Fluttershy noticed he had a look of playful embarrassment. Fluttershy felt a little embarrassed as well, but more than that she felt happy.

After a quick rest they decided to walk around for a little bit. While they walked Moon Light kept asking Fluttershy more questions about her. This disappointed her, she felt comfortable around him enough to talk about herself but she really wanted to know more about him. But she could also tell that it was hard for him and decided to respect that.

"Hey," Moon Light suddenly exclaimed, "Is that a piano?"

Fluttershy looked and sure enough, outside a small restaurant was a piano sitting by the door. Moon Light almost immediately ran over to it. As he sat down, he gestured Fluttershy to do the same. She was a little unsure but when she looked at his relaxed smile, she knew it would be alright.

"I know I've been kind of secretive tonight," he admitted as she sat down next to him.

"Oh, that's okay," Fluttershy said in a panic. She tried to hide her curiosity but she was never good at hiding her feelings.

"No it's not," Moon said in a very serious tone, "You've told me about you so I think it's only fair that I do the same. But I'd rather not say it with just words

At first Fluttershy was confused, but she understood when he started to play. The song reminded her of the beginning of the first song she heard him play, it filled her with a feeling of loneliness but it was much softer then the other song. And when he started to sing she realized he was singing about his past. How he lived on the streets of Canterlot, with only his music to drive him and give him purpose. And how he was lucky enough to be discovered while playing in a coffee shop to get away from the cold. The song was almost enough to drive her to tears. As the tears started to grow in her eyes, just before they could fall Moon Light wiped them away, smiling and happy he could share his song with her. She suddenly gave him a hug, which made him incredibly happy as he changed the music to something much sweeter. She hugged him tight as he kept playing, til the late hours of the night. They both never wanted it to end.
