This happens after the events of the episode Amending Fences. In the same universe as pinkies guardian angel.
Moondacer comes home one night after another attempt by her her friends to reintegrate her into society again depressed. And once she's home a human appears out of nowhere! What will she do? What will the human do? The human has no time to react properly before being dragged into her life by Moondancer's recent happenings. And he won't be the only one dragged along.
This story takes place during the events of Pinkie's Guardian Angel.
Two weeks after the tale of the three guardians travels ended, the gang met up again at their usual place in Canterlot. They all sat at their usual spot which was the corner booth on the front right. They sat as they did two weeks prior and waited for the last two to arrive. Rainbow groaned aloud, bored out of her skull because of waiting.
"Why are they always late? Why can't they just show up on time for once?" She asked to nopony in general.
"I dont think their..." Perfect Control Started but he was interrupted by another voice to which all people turned to and Rainbow stiffened.
"We are on time but you didn't notice us." Said a voice that made Rainbow yell and almost make a hole in the ceiling.
"Scared much? And tell the truth, we won't think of you any different." Moondancer said giggling at the sight before her.
"*sigh* Fine, yes I was scared only because I didn't expect it!" Rainbow confessed rather loudly and annoyed.
"Exactly why I did it." Konnor said with a sly grin.
"Is that how you met Moondancer?" She asked coyly.
"No, its not and thank you for reminding me why we're here." Konnor said facepalming . "You see it all started after Twilight showed Moondancer the powers of friendship."
"What? I thought she had a good start on things." Twilight said starting to get up and question him.
"And she did," Konnor defended motioning her to sit down as she did he continued. "Its just that something came up that hurt her and her sister and they went down two separate paths."
"Oh I didn't know." Twilight said hanging her head a little feeling bad because she jumped to conclusions. Solace wrapped an arm around her making her look at him she then smiled and nuzzled into his side.
"She looked fine when she was at the seminar." Spike pointed out, then it dawned on him. "Oh, you were already there by then."
Konnor nodded in agreement. "Now if there are no more interruptions, lets get started shall we?"
Nighttime, in movies its the time when weird stuff likes to happen to random strangers. All of the princesses can attest to this, especially Princess Luna, being the princess of the night and all. But this is not about her. No this is about another mare in the same city of Canterlot. This mares name is Moondancer and as of late she has reacquainted herself with the friends she had before she closed herself off to the world the first time. Now she's shut herself off again and there was many attempts to get her out in the world again but she refused to have anything to do with the outside world and the ponies in them. Why would she do this? Well as she had said, No one knew her pains, what she was feeling, she wanted that to change, and soon. She wished this as she was heading home after another failed attempt to get her out into the world again, one night. This was the night that her life changed for the better, for good.
As she got home she headed to her room where she had cried herself almost to sleep thinking of what happened to her to close herself off again when the sound of screaming was heard. She turned towards the noise with a sniffle to see a strange being on her bedroom floor in an awkward heap unconscious . She got up and went to check on it. As she got closer she noticed that it wore clothes and had some weird appendages at the end of its front legs. She adjusted her glasses with her magic and looked closer. She noticed a lack of fur on the creature, with the sole exception of its mane. She checked for a pulse and breathing, once finding both she went back to looking the being over.
'Well I don't think it will wake up anytime soon, I wonder why it came here?' Moondancer thought to herself as she looked him over to see if there was any visible breakage of bones.
Just as she finished her thought the beings eyes shot open and it immediately sat up panting looking around frantically.
"Where am I?" the being asked, continuing to look around confused then noticed Moondancer and looked even more confused. "What in blue blazes are you?" It asked pointing at her.
Moondancer took note of the beings voice and decided it was a stallion, which started to make certain dirty thoughts play out in her mind. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts with a slight blush on her face and replied in a slightly shaky voice.
"You're in Canterlot, and I'm a pony, more specifically a unicorn, whose name is Moondancer, nice to meet you sir." She said making the being look at her like he was looking at a unbelievable vine then like he was being tricked.
The being then shrugged his shoulders as if he just gave up rationalizing the whole situation. "Honestly, I could be in a worse situation, so sitting in front of a female unicorn in a world, most likely, filled with these 'ponies' isn't the worst possible thing in the world." He said seemingly talking to himself. He then looked her over and gave a small smile making Moondancer feel a little uncomfortable.
"Please don't call me sir, it makes me feel old." He said playfully. "Names Konnor by the way, pleasure to meet you Moondancer." Konnor said holding his hand out for a shake, Moondancer looked at it warily for a second not knowing what to do at first but put her hoof in his hand and he gently shook it, to her surprise. He noticed how soft her fur felt and wondered if all of her felt this soft. Especially her backside.
'Where did THAT come from?' He thought to himself as his face heated up rapidly as he tried to clear his mind of his thoughts.
"So, um, mind if I ask you a question?" Moondancer asked him taking his mind fully off his other thoughts.
"Only if I can ask you one." Ethan replied.
"Deal." She said confidently. "So what exactly are you?" She asked looking him over again wondering a little more than just that, but didn't voice it.
"Glad you asked, I'm what you call a human or homo sapiens." Konnor said. "Now this is a question that involves you're name, now hear me out, have you ever danced under the moon?" He asked politely. The reason why was he didn't want the crap being beat out of him.
"No, I haven't, I don't even know how to dance properly." Moondancer said sadly while hanging her head down in shame.
"I'm sorry but your name brought up that question. I didn't know it would hit a sore spot." Konnor sputtered out.
"No it's fine it's just I never studied the art of dance." Moon dancer admitted with a slight blush on her face.
"If it will make you feel better I could teach you how to dance." Konnor offered.
"I'd like that. *yawn* Its late and I'm tired it was nice to meet you I wish I could learn more about you, but that can wait until tomorrow, Goodnight." Moondancer said sleepily.
"That isn't a bad idea, mind if I join you?" Konnor asked.
Moondancer thought about it, arguing with herself on whether or not she should do this or not eventually she decided and said.
"No not at all, just don't get any ideas." She said.
"I'm too tired to try anything anyways." Konnor said getting in next to her. "Goodnight Moondancer." He said kissing her forehead just beneath her horn..
"Why'd you do that?" She asked.
"I honestly don't know." Konnor replied. Moondancer rolled her eyes and smiled slightly.
"It felt nice, just warn me next time. Anyways, goodnight Konnor." She replied.
"So what all we know is that she was upset nothing more specific than that." Rainbow said in mild annoyance.
"I have to agree what happened to Moondancer?" Perfect order asked.
"I'm getting there all was brought to light on the next day." Konnor explained.
"Konnor, honey, you know I'm not all that comfortable with this story being told." Moondancer complained.
"I know, I know. How's about I tell one of my embarrassing stories then I'll tell them about that morning." Konnor offered.
"I really don't think they'll like what happened to you on that day." Moondancer explained to him.
"It will probably explain some things to the princess. She was wondering what I was doing there when she was talking to me the night before in your house." Konnor countered.
"*sigh* You have a point, alright you can tell that story, after you tell your embarrassing story first." Moondancer finally conceded. Konnor kissed her catching her off guard. "Konnor!" She whined, "Not in front of my friends." She finished below a whisper.
Everyone at the table "dawwed" making her blush.
"Anyways after we fell asleep I had the weirdest dream......" He began, making Luna's eyes turn to pinpricks.
Konnor was in a bar playing poker with a moose and squirrel. And he was losing, badly. The odds of his hand being the winning one were NOT in his favor. He had two twos and the cards on the table were a jack, ace, queen, King, and ten. He knew that this was his last hand with the chips he started with, so he went all in. Before the squirrel and moose showed their cards Konnor threw the table into their faces and dashed for a blue telephone booth and jumped inside yelling " Punch it Chewie!" and a man at the console said, "Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a Wookie."
Then,.... all hell broke loose.
The colsole exploded in a shower of sparks as smoke poured out of the vents. The smoke enveloped the whole room. Konnor heard voices from all sides yelling things like, "EXTERMINATE!", "DELETE", "REBEL SCUM", or "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!"
He had only one option he pulled out a gun from his inside coat pocket and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"WUB A DUB DUB MUTHA BUCKAS!" He pulled the trigger sending a ray of ear splitting bass drops to the ares that he thought the voices originated from. Once he stopped firing he heard nothing, deeming it was safe he stood up and walked in front of him till the smoke cleared.
What he saw surprised him.
Konnor was standing in a open field within a dense forest.
"Well this is new." He said to himself.
He began to walk around and had a bad feeling about where he was, his nightmares didn't usually end up like this.
"This is a completely different ending than I'm used to." He commented looking around with a hint of apprehension.
"What do you mean by that?" A feminine voice asked, visibly scaring Konnor.
"Who said that? Show yourself!" Konnor said while looking around with a pissed off look holding his gun out in front of him.
"Calm down there is no need for violence here." The female voice said again. this time however when Konnor looked around he noticed that he wasn't alone. He saw a dark blue winged unicorn with a semi transparent mane that flowed in the non existent wind. He also noticed her mark looked like a crescent moon in a black feild.
"State your name rank and intention." Konnor said out of reflex.
"Princess Luna, Princess of all things of the night, to talk." Luna replied.
Konnor lowered the gun, he didn't know exactly why he did but he felt like he could trust her, for now.
"Ok what would you like to discuss Princess?" He asked.
"Your current location." She deadpanned.
"In the house of a mare?" He started looking at her for confirmation she nodded, "Mare named Moondancer." He finished. Luna was shocked.
"That's impossible! Shes secluded herself from the rest of the world and you manage to get into her house!? Unless......." Luna said not finishing her thought while she seemed distant.
"Unless what?" Konnor asked. this snapped Luna out of her train of thought for a few moments.
"Did you feel an unusual pull too Moondancer?" She asked
"Now that you mention it, yeah I think I did." Konnor replied.
"Then you might be a Guardian Angel for her." Luna said.
"Wait, have I?" Konnor began to ask.
"I don't think you have died in your world, and I really don't wish to find out right now, if you don't mind." Luna said.
"Sounds like you've been through this song and dance number before." Konnor commented.
"You have NO idea." Luna said in an exasperated tone.
"I'm sure I don't, so any tips for when I wake up?" Konnor asked in a serious tone.
"Yes, be careful what you say around her. She has been through a lot lately and shes seriously considered suicide." Luna said just as seriously. Konnors face was a mix of shock and horror.
"Oh my god, thats terrible! I can't let something like that happen to her at all, no matter what the cost may be!" Konnor declared
"Why not?" Luna asked picking her words carefully.
"I don't want to talk about it right now, ok? Maybe next time I'll tell you what I've been trough. Deal?" Konnor asked with his head hung low. Luna knew she hit a sore spot.
"Of course, whenever you're ready to talk, I'll listen." Luna replied, feeling the pain radiating off of him.
"Thank you." Konnor said as his mood grew serious again, "Now excuse me while I help my new, and first friend in this land, aside from you, of course."
"No offense taken." Luna said as he disappeared from his dreamscape. "Spoken like a true Guardian Angel. But there is so much to learn about him, maybe this one will require a bit more coaxing into telling me about him, when he is ready of course." Luna then walked over to Moondancers dreamscape door and sighed.
"She's happier with him, maybe while he's healing her, she'll heal him as well." Luna thought out loud while putting her hoof on the edge of the door as it disappeared, a sign that somepony has woken up.
"I wish them the best of luck. They're going to need it." She said as she walked to her own dream realm to finish her job on a high note, one involving her own Guardian Angel.
Luna looked cautiously at Ethan who, to her surprise was actually looking at her with a smirk!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked mentally.
"I thought there was something that went on that night, albeit your job but still, you could've just told me." He replied.
"I was afraid you'd hate me for meeting him without you." Luna said in a dejected tone. Ethan then understood.
"My dear Luna, it was your job, you know I don't meddle in your work. You handle your stuff and I'll handle mine." Ethan said.
"So you're not mad at me?" Luna said.
"No, You know I love you Luna." Ethan replied turning her face to meet his.
"Prove it." She cried mentally.
"As you wish." Came the reply before their lips met.
Konnor looked on the two of them knowingly.
"That scene looks familiar, but I remember more verbal dialogue not telepathic conversation." Konnor commented as Ethan and Luna broke the kiss, making them blush.
"You mean the next morning? And I don't remember something like this that day" Moondancer asked in deadpan.
"Yeah but I do, you were very depressed that day, considering you thought you were schizophrenic and all." Konnor replied
"Oh, right, thanks for changing my mind, even if it almost cost you your..." Moondancer was cut off buy Konnor.
"So the next day..." He began nervously holding his crotch with a pained expression.
To you out there in the reader land, I'm in a slump on this story and my first one. Actually, I'm just being a little lazy right now. But it's only because of school.
But here's what I have planned.
