Prompt: Moonlight





“Pinkie, try and sit still. Your fidgeting is letting the cool air in.”

“I can’t help it, Twilight, the Moon is tickling me.” Pinkie Pie began to giggle as she allowed the warm blue blanket to slip completely off. She stood, smiling, against the light autumn breeze that swept over the hill.

Twilight glanced up from her telescope. “You’re just shivering from wind.”

Pinkie quickly inhaled a comically large lungful of air. “Twilight Sparkle! Can’t you feel the moonlight tonight? It’s so affectionate.” Pinkie giggled again while twirling around. Her tight pink curls bobbed tirelessly atop her head.

With only a brief moment to reflect on how lucky she had been to have Pinkie sit still even just long enough to introduce the pink party planner to the night sky through a telescope,  Twilight was pulled bodily from beneath the warm haven of her blanket and into the brisk fall night. The sky around the two of them was as clear as polished crystal and Twilight took a moment to bask once more in the beauty of the brilliant night before Pinkie covered her eyes with a pair of pink hooves.

“You gotta close your eyes so you can feel the moonlight, Twilight.” Twilight took a deep breath as the cold air began to chew its way through her coat. She lightly brushed Pinkie’s hooves out of her eyes.

“It’s too cold for this tonight, Pinkie. I want to get back in our blanket. If you join me,” she tempted, “I’ll show you how Luna signed her recreation of the Mare in the Moon.”

“Just a little bit, Twilight! Pleeease? Close your eyes and feel the moonlight! Come on! Come on, come on, come on! Please please please please?” Taking advantage of Twilight’s refusal to close her eyes, Pinkie brought her head in close and made the saddest face she could. Her purple friend immediately began to feel uncomfortable and her face showed it.

“A-alright. Fine. If it means that much to you…”

“It does. Please?”

Pinkie’s face held so much sincerity, Twilight could only slowly close her eyes and shiver as she was caressed by the increasingly frigid weather. “What am I supposed to be-” Twilight felt a warm energy approach and shivered as it brushed lightly against her lips.

“Well?” she heard Pinkie whisper in her ear. “Didn't I tell you the moonlight was feeling affectionate tonight?”

Twilight suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore.
