Moon Loons

by Super


Well, We're doomed guys

"Well, this can't possibly get any worse." Super thought aloud as he stared out into the void. A few stars burned in that void, but they didn't offer him much comfort. He shivered, the 'air', or lack there-of made this place feel so cold...

"I fucked up." Sighing, he sat on the ground, about to contemplate his actions...

"And here I thought you'd try and make it all 'sciency.'" Super's ears perked up at the sound of a new voice. He turned his head to see...

"No way."

"Eeyup. We just got here too." Jolt said with a less-than sane grin. "I've been here since yesterday, actually."

Super blinked a few times, rubbing his eyes with his hoof, making sure they were real. When they were still here, he asked the obvious question first.

"What the hell are you all doing here?!"

The group of ponies all shrugged, while simultaneously saying: "It's a long story."

Super stared at them in silence, unsure of what exactly to make of the situation.

'This is it. All of my experience and studies are telling me I must be going completely bat shit crazy...'

"Hey guys?" Winter Twister broke the silence. "I've been wondering this whole time; If we're on the moon, how can we still breathe?"

"DON'T say that, you fool!" Jolttix yelled, startling the Pegasus with a hoof to the back of his head. "You'll start suffocating if you do!"

"Bah, that's just stu-URK." Winter was cut off as he suddenly realized he could no longer breathe.

"I TOLD you!" Jolttix stuck his tongue out in triumph as Winter began choking from asphyxiation.

"I can breathe in space! I can breathe in space!" He shouted quickly with his last breaths as he suddenly went limp and began floating away. Super flew up to his fellow Pegasus and quickly pulled him back to the moon, where miraculously he started breathing again.

"Well, while this is all very interesting, I really need a drink. Now." Waffler said, rubbing his head in his hooves to fight off an oncoming headache.

"Waffles, there is no alcohol on the moon." Jolttix pointed out with a sigh. "I could go for a drink right now too..."

Waffler paled at the realization. "B-But what about moonshine?"

The whole group, even the unconscious Winter Twister, facehoofed.

"Well, what the hell are we going to do?" Super said, rubbing his temples. "Sit here in the void of space for... how long are we supposed to be up here again?"

"That's just it!" Joltixx shouted with triumph, startling Winter awake. "As soon as the Princess realizes she's made a mistake, she'll bring us back, right?"

"Actually no." All heads turned to the source of the new, more regal voice.

"Oh great. We're screwed." Winter shook his head and sighed.

"Ah balls." Super facehoofed again. "So much for that."

"L-Luna?" Joltixx stammered.

Princess Luna gave the group a sheepish smile and a shrug. "In my anger... I kind of... sentmyselfhereonaccident..."

"Oh..." Jolt stared blankly for a moment before smiling again. "That's fine! I'm sure your sister will-"

"Left on a trip to Aeries to meet with the gryphon king."

The group stared in silent resentment, causing the Princess of the night to squirm a bit, mostly from embarrassment then anything else.

"Okay..." Super began, taking in a deep breath to keep from having an outburst. "It's okay... Alright, how long are we supposed to be up here?"

Luna began to fidget more. "Well... I set the spell for... three-hundred years..."

The group just stared in silence again.

Super peered over the edge of the crater they stood on the precipice of. "I wonder if a fall from this height would be enough to kill me? Probably not."

"This already sucks." Said Waffler, rubbing his head as the withdrawal began to set in. "I wonder what my hero would do in this situation?"

Somewhere in an alternate univerese...


"I just freebased coke out of a fishbowl! YEAHHHHHHH" Ted Nugent screamed and then died for becoming an internet meme.


Back on the moon...

"How are we supposed to eat? How are we supposed to survive?" Asked Winter, whom was surprisingly concerning himself with real world issues.

"Good to see everypony's confident..." Skyward remarked sarcastically.

"Who the FUCK are you?" Waffler practically screamed at the new arrival, who just shrugged in response.

"The pony from your nightmares!" The strange Pegasus spread his odd metallic wings and laughed. If he was trying to intimidate, it went right over Waffler's head. The rest of the group were too focused on their own problems to care.

"FUCK IT, I'm building a rocket to Equestria!" Twister shouted, a manic grin playing out on his face.

"You don't have the materials." Jolt pointed out drearily.

"Fuck you! I have moon rocks!"

"...might help if you build a brain first..." Super muttered under his breath.

A loud, annoyed snort came from Winter Twister. "This kind of shit wouldn't even happen if you idiots didn't-"

"Well... maybe things aren't all bad." Everpony turned to Jolttix, who now shared the Princess' grin. "The Princess has a lot of magic, right?"

Slow nods came from all around.

"Well, why doesn't she just-" A small clicking noise cut him off, drawing both the groups' ire and attention.

"Hey guys! I found my typewriter!" Super happily exclaimed. The rest of the group just gave him an empty stare as he pressed 'buttons' on what looked like a large rounded moon rock.

"Well, the 'psycho smart' people always lose it first..." Winter remarked, drawing a circle beside his head with his hoof to accentuate his point.

"So true!" Super exclaimed, slamming his hooves down on the 'buttons' with an expression of mad glee on his face. This time instead of a clicking noise, there was a loud beeping. Everypony turned towards Super again, whose face was contorted in confusion.

"I don't think my typewriter ever did that before..." Jolttix and Luna looked over his shoulder, Jolt sharing his look of confusion while Luna's eyes widened in horror.

"I've never seen that before in all my life. What do you think your..." Jolttix looked up to see The Princess frantically galloping away.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" She shouted loud enough to make the moon shake.

Super turned back to the typewriter, yanking it from the ground with his hooves with a loud grunt.

"Huh. I don't remember my typewriter being so round. Or having numbers on it."

"Round? Numbers?" Jolttix looked at the side of the strange metal balloon Super had yanked from the surface of the moon.

Green glowing numbers were slowly counting down...

"RUN!" Jolttix screamed. Super watched the unicorn's gallop for a while before chucking the foreign object into space and following the now panicked group of ponies.

A few seconds later, the had moon was enveloped in an odd light, accompanied by a thick grey mist for a few moments before clearing. The only noticeable change was that, for some odd reason, the full-moon that was scheduled for tonight was now a crescent one. Nopony in Equestria contemplated the cause or the meaning of the mysterious change for more than five seconds.
