Chapter 26
“No way! Amethyst Cloud's theorem about magical transference invalidates that point.” Moondancer insisted.
Luna sipped on her tea covered sugar with a smile, “Only if you do not use a ruby.”
The other unicorn paused at that, a cookie half lifted to her mouth as she frowned, “...Of course. They have the right kind of resistance.”
I wasn't even completely sure what they were talking about anymore. Something about enchanting equipment. My skill with magic was nowhere close to there when it came to theoretical equipment.
I might have given Moondancer quite a surprise when revealing exactly who my marefriend was. Until about five minutes ago, her ears had been like glued to her head. Even after we got over the entire 'Moondancer.exe has stopped working' thing, it was still quite a bit for her to adjust for.
Talking about magic however quickly drew her into the conversation and the two mares quickly left my zone of competence and happily galloped off into the distance.
It got Moondancer to slowly relax though, so I just let them talk, simply enjoying my cup of tea, curled up in the comfy chair after a semi productive day.
“So Page said you had a theory about dragon migrations?” Luna asked after another moment.
Moondancer nodded, “Yes, Princess. My hypothesis was that the spreading pony culture and construction disrupted dragon migration routes. It was disproven however at reviewing further evidence.”
“Interesting. If that had been true, it would have been quite a problem in the long run.” Luna agreed.
“Yeah.”
“So you are studying dragons?”
Moondancer shook her head, “I study a lot of things. Dragons. Magic. Pottery. Sociology.”
Luna nodded, “You seek to be come a professor?”
“No, I just study.”
“I see.”
Huh. That actually sounded somewhat interesting, but I don't know how long I could keep that up. I would just get distracted by som...oh shiny!
“...How do you make money?” I asked, tilting my head in question.
“I receive a stipend from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.”
...That made a lot of sense. Also, there was no way that was something that would have ever been a way to get money for me.
“Ah.”
Luna put her tea down as she regarded the other mare, “Would you be interested in a research project? I need somepony to research some matters for me.”
“Of course, Princess!”
“Excellent!”
Luna jumped off the couch and trotted over to her desk to look through some papers before she returned, scribbling away on her paper with a quill, “I need you to find out the answers to the things on this list. I will of course pay you for your time.”
Taking the list, Moondancer nodded as she read it through, “Yes, Princess.”
“...I know some of those are a bit unusual, but...”
Moondancer smiled, “No problem, Princess. I can get to it at once.” before she bowed, “With your permission?”
“Of course. It was nice meeting you, Moondancer.”
As Moondancer left, I raised a eyebrow at Luna, “...What was that about?”
She smiled, ignoring my question, “I like her. She remind me of somepony.”
I frowned at that and then shook my head, “I don't see it. But you are avoiding my question.”
“Oh, not much. Some minor things. Some magic, some architecture, some farming practices.”
“Huh?”
Luna grinned, “It's a test, Page.”
Jumping off the comfy chair, moving up to her, “Why?”
Luna hmmed and nuzzled at my closest ear.
I flicked my ear and shot her a look, “Luna!”
She chuckled and put her wing across my back, “I'm thinking of offering her a position as part of my staff. I actually need a competent researcher. We will have to see how she manage the task I gave her. Moondancer seem intelligent and knowledgeable.”
Nodding, I leaned against her side, nuzzling along her neck, “I think she would do well there. I like her.”
“Do you now?”
I rolled my eyes, “Not like that.”
That got a giggle for her, “Are you sure? Replace the glasses, remove that horrible shirt... she could be cute.”
“Yes.” I chuckled and gave her a small kiss, “Apparently I have a thing for alicorns.”
“Mmm... That is quite a limited selection.”
I grinned, “Luckily I managed to snag the best one.”
The maid staff were not overly happy to later find out that her pounce at me caused us to completely destroy the table.

I ain't paying for it. It was all Page's fault
It was Luna's fault too.
That was cute, need more.

Table
Died in the Battlefield of Love.
6832942 If Lunar cuddles were involved I'm sure Page is more than willing to take the blame.
6832977 most likely
You smooth son of a bitch.
well now this chapter rats a DAWWW from me.
ok I like having Moondancer around this code be rather fun the first time Twilight meats her.
6832969 Let us never forget.
I sense a divergence in the canon. It's as if a million voices cried out in joy, only to be silenced in anticipation for more!
I kind of want to question why you released a chapter at 3am... but that would involve asking why I was up to read it...
Carry on.
unrelated:
I'm still not sure how I feel about the flow of this story, vs that of the last. It feels almost too jumpy... At least in the last story we had the occasional journal entry to say 'this much time has passed since last chapter'. Some of the chapters in this story are in sequence. Some seem to be weeks, even months apart.
That's my only complaint. Cheers.

Not everyone lives in your time zone. It's half past twelve in the afternoon for me right now.
Lunar Kitten Attack, BANZAI!
Huh.. It's look like in MLP comics Star Wars already exist. Or, at least "Star something' :). Here. Junior page, last column, filly in glaces . I think she wear "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" shirt :). Oh and colt next to her wear Batman shirt :).
6833412 Comics ain't canon.
6833678
They canon as long as they don't contadict the show. At least one of the IDW artist say that this is Hasbro position on comics.
But I mostly post this pics as a amusing thing, that all. I'm not planing to start argue with Hiver about existence of Star Wars in Equstria.
6833761 Lol. I just thought that it would be fair to point that out.
Seems I'm sticking with this story for a while longer.
Let us all take a moment of silence for the true heroes of the story.......The Maid Staff.
6833393 Thank you, I understand the concept of timezones. I was making a pass at my own shitty sleep schedule.
Nice work, well done.
6832969
6833975 ....
6832969 I FREAKING DIED
6868406
You're a table!?
6872809 ...
6833116
This exact phrase went through my head when I read that line. His cutiemark page must be blank because he's hoarding all the best words.
6872809 oh, you made me think of this silly video:
Did you mean "theirs"?
That should be either "reminds" or "reminded", probably the former.
Should be "manages" and "seems".
I felt a great disturbance in the force. As if millions of angry maids suddenly cried out in anger, and were suddenly silenced...
OK, so it may or may not have been just one maid. Hey, she was yelling so loud, it may as well have been a million maids. I think I've lost some of my hearing as a result. Thank goodness Luna casted a sound-proofing spell on her mouth when she did. Otherwise the royal guards might have thought she was attacking us, and "counter" attacked her!
6833116
he aint wrong
7996875
Can't stop laughing
7996875
*dying of laughter*
6833116
Indeed.
6833393
BANZAI!
That is understandable
You know, there's plans to ascend a unicorn, maybe the ball can roll for another?
Destroying Furniture get other ponys payed
Moony get some decent pay i hope
6832969
It will be remembered
9995199
Hold that thought. ;]
It seems quite fitting that Luna would know, befriend, or employ somepony named Moondancer.
Absolutely priceless comment section
👍
Page is uprooting destiny and is substituting it with his own
