"Leave me alone!" Moon screamed from the other side of the door. "I hate you!"
I let out a heavy sigh, regretting my idea to play god. The god of writting, to be exact. We were doing so good, she had even snuggled up against me! I'm thinking she's actually starting to like me! Or maybe not. She does want to kill me and refers to me as her slave, so maybe it was an occasional piece of gratitude. all in all, I feel I've made a small amount of prgoress in my mission to make Moon a good pony.
"Moon, I was just playing around with you, okay? Please let me in." I begged, trying to get the door open, but she must have put some magical lock on it, or something since I can't even budge it. "Please? I'll finish your belly rubs for you!"
I swear I could hear a little snicker from the other side of the door, followed by a slight, but evil chuckle.
"What if I don't open the door?" she asked in a cocky tone.
"No more french toast!" I smirked.
"WHAT!? You can't do that to me! My slaves don't tell me what I can and cannot eat!" Moon whined, now being the one to try to open the door as i held it shut.
I couldn't help but stiffle a small laugh. "The agreement was that you be a good girl, and I make french toast every single solitary morning, right?"
"No!" Moon interjected. "It was that if you don't make me fwench toast evewy morning, I'd kill you!" she snapped, obviously getting a little flustered. Is her dander up? Well it needs to get down. Heh. I punned.
I shook my head a little hysterically before answering. "Moon, you love me too much to want to kill me and you know it."
"Whatevew! Just let me out! Pwease!"
"Alright, you win," I answered opening the door. Moon came bounding out, only to be tackled down by Goldie who'd been standing there the whole time, eager to get her paws on Moon.
"H-Hey! Get off you silly dog!" screamed Moon as she was covered in affectionate licks. Goldie refused to listen and kept licking. "Jake! Help me, pwease! I need you!" she cried, trying to fight the dog off of her.
I could only smile at how desperate Moon seemed, plus begging me for help? It's quite funny. I smiled with a small shake of my head, watching moon struggle to beat even a dog. She flailed her arms at her, kicking her, but was all in vain, as none of her defensive attacks did nothing to help her mission to get the dog off of her. Finally she lit her horn, brighter than usual, and with a very distinguishable pop, her body disappeared, followed by another pop from behind me.
I turned my gaze downwards to see Moon hinding behind my leg as protection from the dog who tought she was playing a game. Goldie was panting and wagging her tail, jumping at Moon. Moon was quick to scurry away, probably a hint of fear in her.
"Something wrong, Moon?"
"Your mutt is twying to eat me!" she cried, barely managing to avoid Goldie's pounces.
I shook my head slightly, watching the scene unfold before me, Goldie having finally cornered Moon. "She isn't trying to kill you, Moon. She wants to play!"
"Well, I don't like it!" she snapped, slowly backing away from the Golden retriever who was apparently out for her flesh.
I gave a roll of my eyes and opened my arms for her. Upon taking notice to this, she instantly flew up and darted into my chest. I could only smile as I held her, sofly petting her flowing mane. "Better?" I asked since Goldie could no longer reach Moon, even though she was at my feet jumping for her. Moon nodded, leaning her head into my scratching fingers.
"I like this," Moon smiled, where she lay in my arms. "I demand I be cawwied from now on as pwotection from your dog, plus I love how you pet me." Moon said happily.
"I can do that." I agreed, running my hand along her small back as she purred. Well, not purring, but giving small moans of comfort and pleasure.
"Nnngghhhh, this feels nice," smiled Moon, rolling onto her back. I smiled back at her as she looked up at me. I brought a hand to her stomach and began rubbing in small circles. "OOhh, bewwy wubs are the best." Moon sighed happily.
"I see, but, Moon, I have somthing very impotant to ask of you." I said in a stern and flat tone.
Moon frowned at me. "I don't take ordews from you!"
"Look, I have to start getting ready for work in an hour, and while I'm gone, I only ask you stay in the house and don't destroy the place."
"What do I get if I do this?"
"I'll get you something if you promise to be good. Maybe a plushie, a candy bar, or something. Whatever."
Moon smirked at me. "You know vewy well what I want."
I gave a small scoff. "I can't give you an enternal night, Moon."
Moon's ears drooped as she gazed at the floor.
"But for now, I'm sure you're waiting to know how I knew about you and Equestria?"
Moon nodded.
I carried her out to the living room where I sat on the souch once more, where across the small living room was a thirty inch t.v. I know it's not the best but it's what I got. I took my ps3 controller in my hand from where it sat on the end table, and used it to turn on the ps3, after I remembered I had to get up again to flip the switch on the back of the system.
So after taking my seat again on the couch, Moon crawled into my lap, and pulled my arms around her, since Goldie had been there as well. I couldn't help but chuckle as Moon stuck her tongue out at Goldie. I turned on the t.v and booted up netflix and went into the kids section, where after a little searching, I found what I was after. As soon as the image of the mane six popped up, Moon's eyes went wide.
"THEM!" She yelled in anger at the raibow ponies on the screen. It's quite ironic how rainbows and unicorns are meant to bring joy and happiness as to where those two very things ruined Nightmare Moon. "THEY DID THIS TO ME!" she pointed with a hoof.
I sighed, holding her in my arms. "I know, Moon. But just watch, okay?"
"Fine," grumbled the former evil princess of the night.
I took a deep breath, hoping for the best from this as I played the first episode, which I soon came to find was a bad idea.
As soon as the part where Moon was defeated in "Friendship is Mgic Part ll" came by, Moon ended up taking the controller from me, and had tossed it at the t.v., with a enough force to result in smashing the remote through the screen. Well there goes finishing HALO for a while.
I let out a low groan, where Moon had her forelegs across her chest. "Stupid ponies!"
I sighed heavily, and moved Moon to the floor. "Have fun cleaning that mess up, Moon." I huffed, going off to my room to get ready for work. The sound of hooves on the hardwood floor followed me as I went down the hall. I turned to see Moon behind me.
"I am not picking that mess up," she snapped. "I refuse to be your servant, or a slave no less!"
I gave her a slight smirk. "I'd say in your current situation, you have no choice but to do as told."
Moon only grumbled through her teeth in response. "Fine."
"Good filly," I said back to her as she turned to walk away.
"I am merely a grown mawe twapped in the body of a fiwwy!"
"Then how come you fail to pwonounce your L's and r's, hmm?"
Moon sighed heavily. "I'm just gonna ignowe that. Just gonna stay calm...and clean up that image pwojection machine you bwoke."
A small chuckle escaped my lips. "Cause I have magic to throw remotes with."
"No you don't!" Moon snapped.
"And you're the only one that does, Moon."
I stared in amusement at the fact I had full control over Nightmare Moon herself, watching her scoop up the broke pieces of glass. Even better she was no taller than a foot and a half. So, with a satisfied grin, I entered my door to get dressed into my Culver's outfit.
Moon's P.O.V
"Stupid, hairless talking monkey, making me do his work. It's not fair!" I screamed in my head as I swept the glass shards from the floor and into the dustpan. "How worse can this get!? First stuck on the moon for a thousand years with nothing! Then when I got back, it was only to be beaten by ponies just becoming teens, then sent off to this place as a filly! Now I'm being slaved because I'm powerless, and can't even hurt a fly..."
I let out a low sigh, feeling like such a failure. My heart stings from a thousand years of pain and failure, without a shoulder to lean on. Tears filled my eyes, threatening to flow out like faucets once again. Lost in another world, with no clue of what's outside, with no ability to protect myself. What's a once all powerful princess to do, when she's lost everything, yet had nothing to begin with? I can feel my hooves shaking from beneath me, knees wobbling. Much to my despise, they gave way, and I became a crying heap of worthlessness.
Shortly after I gean crying once again, like a child, I felt the sensation of the monkey's fingers going through my mane. "I know why you're sad, Moon," he said softly.
"No you don't..." I frowned, turning away from him. "You could never understand my pain..."
"Maybe not, but understanding, an knowing are two different things, Moon," he replied in the same soft voice, soothing me somewhat as he ran a hand along my back, which felt rather nice. "I'm just merely trying to cheer you up and give you a home until you return, which hopefully by then you will have changed your mind about wanting to take over."
"I can't...they're too strong...and I'm simply a failure."
"Oh, Moon..."
I felt his hands wrap around my waist, causing me to let out a small squeak, but soon found myself in his arms, laying on my back.
"Did you see how forgiving they were in the show? Maybe try making friends with them when you return. Like I said, maybe you're meant for something else, other than taking over worlds."
I nodded. "I saw, but I'm not the friendly type..."
"You've been sort of friendly with me, Moon. It's not to late to start learning."
"And why should I listen to you? All you do is pick on me because I can't hurt you..."
Jake sighed heavily. "Yeah, I see I shouldn't do that anymore, but, Moon, just know I care about you, okay? I would hate to see you get hurt more than you already are."
"Why do you even care about me?"
He smiled down at me, softly rubbing my cheek with one of the little appendages on the other...bigger appendage that had four other longer ones like the one he rubbed my cheek with.
"Because I want to adopt you."
"WHAT!?" I screamed from shock, jumping from his arms. "I am NOT a child! I am far older than you will ever be! I can't be your little girl when im over a thousand years old!" I roared through gritten teeth, wings flaring, horn lit, even though I probably don't intimidate him.
His smile only grew. His open arms looked so welcoming, beckoning me to jump into him, but I can't go soft just like that for an alien! Especiall after only knowing him for one night! But I never had parents..or a friend...or anybody to be there for me when I needed somepony. It was always me...on my own. Yet this being, knowing my whole past, opened his home up to me, he saved my life, he held me, fed me, bathed me. Heck, he even pets me! But I can't be his daughter.
I stared at the floor as I swam through my thought, folding my wings back up, draining what little existence of power that currently fails to fill my horn. I'm fine staying here with him. I mean, his...french toast is to die for! And maybe he was right...what if I did revert back to a filly? How old am I now? Either way, I'm not trusting him to be a father figure to be after only one night. Now ehre I am, giving him my answer.
"I..." I began. "I'll put it into consideration."
"I have to leave now, Moon. Try to be safe, and don't leave the house, okay?" He said softly, reaching his hand out, soon making contact with my mane. He gave it a small ruffle.
To be honest, I did feel a little upset he's leaving. He is the reason I still exist, and I hate to admit, I don't think I'll be able to survive in this world without him. Based on what he told me, his world is probably a dangerous place. Not for Nightmare Moon of course...at least if I was still my original self. Then I'd have this whole puny planet to myself in days! But sadly I'm the equivalant of a rat.
"C-can I have a hug first?" I asked.
Jake smiled and pulled me into his protective arms.
"Anytime, Moon." He held me tight for a few seconds, followed by a kiss to the tip of my horn. Normally I'd zap him, but zapping him only makes him wiggle for a second. Although his kiss somehow made me feel cared for. Like I finally had somebody that will be there for me. He's done so much for me already. For some reason, I couldn't fight the smile that spread across my cheeks, and I snuggled more into him.
"Thanks, Jake."
"No problem," he replied, gently placing me down. "I'll be back in six hours, okay?"
I gave a small gasp at the mentioned length of time it would be before he returns. I hope it's sooner than he's saying.
"It'll go faster than you know it, okay? If you want to watch more of My Little Pony, use the T.v in my room. just don't break it, okay?"
I only nodded, watching him stand, seeming to be as tall as a castle to me.
"Please try to be safe. I'd hate to see you get hurt." He smiled at me as he left to the outside.
Quickly I jumped to the top of the couch, watching him enter some sort of a red contraption. Two lights lit up a red color, and the thing began to rumble. A few moments later, Jake was riding off in the contraption which had circular shapes at the bottom which I assume move what I think is a carriage. I sighed heavily as he disappeared around a corner.
"Bye, dad..."
