//------------------------------// // Telling The Others // Story: Nothing Can Stop The Moonlight // by I Like Pie //------------------------------// In the morning Twilight nudges Moondancer and she wakes up. "What?" Moondancer rubs her eyes. "I made the bed an hour ago. I just found a spell and put it together." Twilight looks extremely tired. "Twilight, is that the only reason you woke me up? I kinda want to go back to sleep." Twilight looks offended. "Are you not impressed?" There's a goofy smile on her face. Spike laughs and enters the room. "Twilight, we're somewhat impressed. The thing is, you've fought all sorts of baddies. We knew furniture wouldn't stump you for long. You can't play clueless." Twilight rolls her eyes even though she knows the dragon has a point. "I guess you're right . Moondancer, I want to introduce you to some ponies! This is going to be so much fun!" Moondancer nervously gets to her feet. She isn't the best with others, and she knows this. Twilight pulls her into a hug. "C'mon, this'll be fun. You're going to know one of the ponies there. I've made sure that everything will be perfect." "I'm not nervous!" "The flushing in your face and your constant twitching don't seem to agree with that statement." "You just got told!" Spike laughs. "Spike, please help me." Twilight says. She pauses for a moment and then starts ranting and raving about how she wants everything to be perfect, making Moondancer feel good, and something about being a responsible Princess. Spike hasn't seen her act like this a while but he acts accordingly. He leaps forward and quiets her. "Shh. It'll be okay. We know what each one of us is thinking. We can do it." Twily quickly tries Cadence's breathing technique. She's now a tiny bit calmer. "Let's go." *** The two ponies and the dragons stand in a hallway next to the castle's main room. The rest of the main six stand it and share small talk softly. "Stay here Moondancer, for now." Twilight and Spike walk into the main room. "Hey, guys!' The rest of the main six turn around and look at her. "Hi, Twily! Hi Spike! Nice to see you!" Pinkie says. Rainbow and Applejack wave. "Hello." Rarity says with a large smile. She's excited about the alicorn Princess telling the rest of the main six about Moony. "Hey." Fluttershy says softly. "I'm glad you guys all came. I'd like you all to meet my new marefriend. Surprisingly, Rarity already knows her." Twilight says with a humongous smile. "Marefriend?" Rainbow says. "Shut it sugarcube, I want to now who she is." Applejack says. Rainbow looks offended. "I wasn't going to say anything snarky!" Pinkie's jaw is dropped. She then moves it back up. She bonces up and down happily. "A new marefriend! A new marefriend! Oh my goodness! I'm so happy for you guys! I'm going to have party today. I'll get to make a folder about her for my Party Cave! Well, unless I already have one." "Wow. I'm so happy." Fluttershy says. Rarity flutters her eyelashes innocently. "Well, darling, who is it?" Twilight pulls Moondancer in with a smile. "It's Moondancer!" The unicorn smiles and waves nervously. Rainbow soars over to them. "So, you're of Twilight's Canterlot friends?" She nods. "Nice to finally see you in person, Moondancer, Twilight has told us so much about you." Applejack says with another wave. Rarity squeals and turns to Fluttershy. "Don't you think they are such a great couple!" Fluttershy nods somewhat meekly. Pinkie Pie practically explodes. She bounces forward and joyfully tackles Moony to the ground. The pink mare stares down at her excitedly. "Nice to see, ya! I'm going to have a party for you guys today!" She claps her hooves together. "I know. We know." Moondancer says this kindly and bluntly. Pinkie squeals just like Rarity did. "I'll make it wonderful. It'll be at four thirty today! Moondancer, Spike, and Twilight, could you guys show up a little bit late?" The unicorn doesn't know how to respond but Twilight knows with parties that she should trust Pinkie Pie. "Sure, I guess. Pinkie, could you get off of me?" Pinkie Pie laughs. "Oh. Sure." She nervously prances away and stands next to Spike. Moondancer gets to her feet. Fluttershy shakes her hoof. "The name's Fluttershy. I'm the one with all the cute little critters. Twilight must have told you about me." Moondancer nods. Rarity clears her throat. "I have to get going. I have to work on a dress that was recently ordered. Fluttershy is going to help me. See you guys later!" She leaves the castle with Fluttershy. "Me too." Rainbow says she follows Rarity out the door. "Yea, sugarcube, I better hit the road." She leaves just like the others. Moondancer yaws. "I'm going to bed. See you guys." She leaves the room. "I'm going to bed too." Twilight says and follows Moony. Pinkie Pie turns to Spike. "Well, how are you? What's it like living with the too of them?" Spike shrugs. "It's like you'd expect. It's kinda fun. It's just kinda irritating that both of them get stressed out a lot." Spike stares at the ground. "I understand. It'd be hard to live with too ponies that are so close and so similar in personality. I could never live with two Mrs.Cakes or two Mr.Cakes. That's not just because I've had bad experiences with cloning." "Thanks for talking with me Pinkie." "Your welcome. It's really nothing much. Oh! Shoot! I just realized something! I have to go now! See you later!" She rushes out just like the other main six members. Spike shrugs. "I guess I'll just go back to sleep." He mumbles.
