//------------------------------// // Moonlight Dance // Story: I'm In Love With A Changeling // by GameMare //------------------------------// I walked away from my friend's laughter, following the sound of the beautiful singing. I walked to the borders of the Crystal Kingdom and saw the Crystal Tree that blossomed only on full moons, tonight was that night. I walked to the tree and peaked around the edge seeing Silkana dancing lightly as the petals flew around her almost dancing with her. "The magic will never dispersed, For I will be your spark. The love will never fade, For it will always light the dark. My Love, I will always be there, Please don't hate me. My Spark, will never leave you, I want you to see. Oh~ The sun will always shine, It will always been there. The sun may leave the skies, But I will always be your mare. My Love, I will always be there, Please don't hate me. My Spark, will never leave you, I want you to see." The petals began to calm and a huge rose blossom flew into her hair staying there as a smile never left her face. I was suddenly pushed by a gust of wind and our eyes widened as our noses pushed against each other. Silkana didn't move and neither did I, her cheeks were a dark red as my hoof laid on hers. Silkana opened her wings and the petals pushed against them as she lightly flew around, I was given same treatment but a little rougher. I flew right behind her as the mare in front of me flew into the clouds as did I, she slowed down and the clouds were clumped together but seemed to move so they didn't cover the moon. Silkana landed on the cloud and looked back at me as I landed beside her. The clouds broke apart slowly, her and I stood on a cloud that barely big enough for two. I saw as she laid down and I followed behind her, our bodies were close together and she laid her head on the crook of my neck. I laid my head on hers wrapping wing around her body, I felt her snuggle into my touch and she closed her eyes. Silkana opened her eyes and stood up, she looked down at me then started to fly in a different direction. I jumped up and flew right behind her, she looked back then turned her body around and flew backwards. I got close to her and our faces were so close, she nuzzled her muzzle against mine and I blushed lightly then started to fly wobbly. She giggled at me and flew right beside me pushing her body close against mine, I watched her and we started to fly lower. We landed in the far outskirts of the Kingdom in a field; Silkana saw the fireflies and she sat down watching them. “So, Cream Field? Tell me about your life" Silkana smiled looking into my eyes My ears perked up and I smiled; only the captain, well now prince, Princess, and Metal Feather know about my life. "Well I was the oldest of two siblings and younger than one. There was my mom, dad, RainDance my sister, Speedy, and Golden Luck my older brother. RainDance and Speedy were twins but one day RainDance went flying during an awful storm and she was struck by lighting and died in the hospital. Golden Luck was old enough that he left the Crystal Kingdom to travel Equestria, every once and a while Speedy and I get a post card from him." "Then what happened" Silkana asked, she was so intrigued on my life and I laid down on the ground continuing. "When I was still a teen colt, the whole Crystal Kingdom and King Sombra happened and that's when Speedy never stopped smiling. Speedy was just like Alteris, but now the pony just loves to make every pony smile." I smiled at the mare who had her head on her foreleg listening. "Why did you want to be a royal crystal guard? How did you become lieutenant?" Silkana asked "I wanted to be a guard because all I wanted to do was to protect others. To make sure nothing like this would happen ever again, to my friends or family or the ponies of the Crystal Kingdom. Speedy was so excited about me going to the Royal Schools that he wanted be one too." "What was is it like being in the school?" the mare asked "Just like any other school" I responded "It wasn't easy but we did it, in our second year we met Metal Feather who was in his fourth year. Metal Feather was the toughest in his class, Speedy was the fastest in our second year. After the school had ended Shining Armour actually wanted Metal Feather to be his lieutenant but he asked if that title could go to me." I smiled then laid close to her, "tell me about your life." "There's nothing really much about a changeling life, I was fascinated with the magic my Queen was using but I thought there was more. I stole books from libraries across Equestria ever since I was a filly. I love to learn about magic but being a changeling you're just at as a monster." She then got up and walked a few feet away and lowered her head, I got up and laid my head on her neck nuzzling. "I don't think you're a monster" I whispered to her We both leaned back, looked into each other’s eyes our heads got closer together and we kissed softly. The ground beneath us seemed to disappear and we felt as if we were floating in the sky. We leaned back and the ground touched our hooves again, she had her eyes still closed blushing deeply and her head was lowered lightly. My wings were extended as if I was a prince, and they wouldn't lower themselves. After struggling quite a bit I eventually was able to lower them and Silkana was giggling at me, the mare then started to run past I ran after her close beside. Silkana flew into the air as I did the same we danced in the sky close to each other, I kissed her once again and she blushed smiling. I didn't care if our love was forbidden I love Silkana, I didn't care who knew or who hated me. I wouldn't care if I was stripped from my rank, I wouldn't care if I was banished. She was the pony that I wanted to spend my life, no, my eternity with. "I love you, Silkana" I smiled to her "Even though we just met two days ago, you're everything I ever wanted, what I need." "Cream Field" She seemed to well up in tears as a huge smile never left her face when the tears fell "I love you too!" Silkana and I flew back to the Crystal Kingdom and both landed next to the crystal heart, I nuzzled her kissed her on the forehead. She smiled walking into the castle; I flew back to home to see the lights out. I walked inside quietly then saw a light switched being turned on, i turned quickly to see Metal Feather holding a glass of water up by his magic. "We got kinda worried when we couldn't find you, but I sort of had a feeling you were just with Silkana. Am i right?" Metal Feathered grinned at my blush and nod "You look like a teen-mare with her first crush," he teased "I admitted my love to her" I smiled and so did, he wrapped me into a huge hug "I'm so proud of you, Cream Field!" he cheered After the hug Metal went upstairs with the water and I went to my room, I grabbed my pillow and snuggled into them blushing almost giggling. I then stopped and thought to myself "I do sound like a teen-mare with her first crush, time to act like a stallion." I then made a goofy smile and rolled around in bed giggling more. I love you, Silkana.
