Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Moon Chips

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was the middle of the night, around 8:00 PM, it was dark. A purple pegasus pony named Psyche was at a Canterlot observatory, talking to Princess Luna.

"Thank you, Princess Luna!" said Psyche. "This place would work perfectly for my studies!"

"Thou welcome, Psyche!" said Luna. "A friend of Flare's is a friend of mine! Feel free to use it as much as thou want!"

"Thanks Princess!" said Psyche.

"Thou need anything?" asked Luna.

"No I'm good." said Psyche.

"Good night, loyal subject!" said Luna. Then she flies out of the observatory.

"Okay! This is great!" said Psyche. "A whole observatory all to myself! I never thought I'd see the day. I have my books, my research, and of course the replica of the solar system for safe keepings!" Psyche takes out his solar system model and places it next to the big telescope with his stuff. "Now let's see what we can see in the sky. Hmm... that's weird. Why is the sky red? And I see a big line..." Psyche looks at the other end of the telescope and sees Flare sitting on the other end. "FLARE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Oh hi! Lion face." said Flare.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?" he yelled.

"I was going around Canterlot, finding a location to expand my shop, then I happened to notice that Princess Luna let you borrow the observatory! Am I right?" asked Flare.

"Yes. But I'm trying to use this observatory for a reason." said Psyche.

"Enjoying the view of the full moon? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" teased Flare.

"Get down." ordered Psyche. Flare jumps off the telescope and walks over to Psyche. Then he goes through his sattlebag and takes out Spike.

"I bought Spike along too!" said Flare.

"Hi!" said Spike.

"Why?" asked Psyche.

"Because he wanted to." said Flare.

"I couldn't breathe in there." said Spike.

"No, I mean why are you here?" asked Psyche.

"I wanted to come visit my old pal Psyche!" said Flare, putting his arm around him.

"Please don't touch me." said Psyche.

"Sorry brah." said Flare. "So what are you studying?"

"I came here to study the planets." said Psyche, looking through the telescope and taking notes. "I heard they are forming a line for something, for some reason. I'm trying to find out what it is."

"Oh really?" said Flare.

"Yes, really." said Psyche.

"What did you find out so far?" asked Flare.

"So far, nothing. I just got here." said Psyche.

"So did I! And I sure noticed something." said Flare.

"What?" asked Psyche.

"That you saw a big red full moon earlier! ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.

"You said that joke already." said Psyche.

"Problem?" asked Flare.

"Well, the same joke won't be able to be funny twice." said Psyche.

"It can. It's all about timing, brah!" said Flare.

"Well it's TIME for me to work." said Psyche.

"Go ahead! Nopony's stopping you!" Flare said, popping up in front of Psyche.

"That means I have to concentrate." said Psyche.

"Of course!" Flare said getting closer to Psyche's face with a creepy smile.

"That means you have to get outta my face." said Psyche.

"But I'm not in your face. I'm close to your face!" said Flare.

"Look dude, seriously. I have work to do." said Psyche.

"How about taking a break?" asked Flare.

"I just got here!" said Psyche.

"Your point?" said Flare.

"That was my point." said Psyche. "Look, how about you go... give this scroll to Princess Luna for me?" Psyche hands Flare a scroll.

"Praise the Wizards!" cried Flare.

"That's the spirit, Flare!" said Psyche. "Now take all the time you need..."

"DONE! Happy face!" said Flare.

"How can you be done?" asked Psyche.

"I'm not done, I'm Flare." said Flare with a squee.

Psyche gave himself a facehoof. "Okay." said Psyche. "How about this? Go to the..."

"ON IT!" cried Flare.

"No, no, listen to me." said Psyche. "I want you to..."

"RIGHT AWAY!" cried Flare.

"LISTEN TO ME!" cried Psyche.

"Kay." said Flare.

"I... want you... to go to the..." said Psyche.

"YES SIR!" cried Flare.

Then Psyche started to steam. "GO-TO-THE-BACK-ROOM-AND-FIND-ME-A-MAP-OF-NEPTONIA!" he said really fast.

"Neptonia? What's that?" asked Flare.

"A planet beyond our solar system." said Psyche. "Can you get that for me, buddy?" Flare didn't say anything. "You can respond now."

"CAPIEESH!" cried Flare, then he ran into the back room to look for the map.

"Ha!" Psyche said to himself. "That'll keep him busy for a while. That planet doesn't exisit." Psyche looks through the telescope again and takes notes on what he sees, but then Spike came up to him.

"Uh, Psyche?" he said.

Psyche sighed, then turned to Spike. "What is it Spike?" he asked.

"I'm hungry." said Spike.

"There are snacks in the fridge over there by the break area." said Psyche.

"Thank you!" said Spike. Then he walks over to the fridge, opens it, and looks through it. "Psyche, do you have any gems?"

"No." said Psyche.

"Well that's what I'm in the mood for." said Spike.

"Well I'm sorry." Psyche said in a grumpy tone.

"Do you have any lava juice?" asked Spike.

"No." said Psyche.

"How about mashed rocks?" asked Spike.

"No." said Psyche.

"Unmashed rocks?" asked Spike.

"No." said Psyche.

"Prehistoric bones?" asked Spike.

"No." said Psyche.

"Mine ore?" asked Spike.

"No!" said Psyche a little louder.

"Ice cubes?" asked Spike.

"Actually, yes." said Psyche. "There are ice cubes in the ice tray in the freezer." Spike walks back to the fridge and opens the freezer and sees the tray of ice cubes. He eats them all in one bite.

"Got any more?" asked Spike.

"No, you ate them all." said Psyche.

"What else do you have that's cold and hard?" asked Spike.

"LOL!" Flare said from the back room.

"There are chocolate bars in the fridge. You can have ONE. Don't eat them all." said Psyche. Spike was already eating all the chocolate bars.

"I'm sorry, what?" said Spike.

Psyche gave out a loud groan and slammed his head on his desk. "I don't care! Just stop talking to me, PLEASE!" Psyche yelled.

"Alright fine, jeez!" Spike said angerly, walking over to a chair. "Why did I agree to even come with Flare?"

Psyche went back to his studies. "Wow!" Psyche said to himself. "The moon looks great tonight! The universe is fantastic! You know, I wish there was some way for me to go up to the moon, just once, just try it."

"Hey Psyche!" said Flare.

"What is it now?" asked Psyche.

"I found Neptonia!" said Flare holding up a book and a map.

"What? But... that's not a real... thank you Flare." said Psyche.

"No problemo brah!" said Flare. "Anything else you need help with?"

"How about keepin it quiet so I can work?" asked Psyche.

"Alright! I know I could've done it earlier if you asked! Winkey face." said Flare. Psyche huffed out a loud sigh. "Hey you said something about going to the moon right?"

"Yeah I wish I could go to the moon." said Psyche. "Too bad it's impossible."

"No it's not!" said Flare. "How did Luna get up there when Rollestia banished her up there?"

"Who's Rollestia... oh you mean Celestia?" Psyche corrected.

"Yeah whatever." said Flare.

"She used her magic." said Psyche.

"I have magic!" said Flare. "Teleporting powers go!" Flare tried to activate his horn, but it wouldn't even spark. "Oh that's right, I don't know that spell. Maybe I'll go talk to Twilight."

"No don't bother. I don't think her magic is strong enough to travel to the moon, dude." said Psyche.

"So if you want to travel to the moon so much, why not build a rocket or something?" asked Flare.

"Wait a minute." said Psyche, thinking. "That's actually not a bad idea. If we can build a rocket, we can go to the moon that way."

"Took you that long to figure it out?" asked Flare.

"I'm not from Mareami like you dude." said Psyche. "This part of Equestria doesn't have all that fancy-smancy technology you're used to. Here we have magic."

"Because Friendship is Epic!" cried Flare.

"No because Friendship is Magic." said Psyche.

"Stop spoiling the moment for me! Angry face!" said Flare.

"Sorry." said Psyche. "So you wanna help out?"

"Of course! The Noble Six shall rise!" cried Flare. "I'll call the others!"

So Flare called some of the Noble Six members, but only Engineer and Crystal came.

"So what do you want us to do partner?" asked Engineer.

"BUIIIIIIIIILD UHHHH ROOOOOOCK-IIIIIIIIT!" cried Flare.

"Did ya'll have to say it like that?" asked Engineer.

"What's the rocket for?" asked Crystal.

"We're going to the moon! Psyche and I!" said Flare, putting his hoof around him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who said 'we' were going?" asked Psyche, removing his hoof.

"I did." said Flare.

"Thanks, but no thanks." said Psyche. "I'd rather go on this trip on my own."

"But dude, I thought we were gonna be moon buddies?" said Flare.

"Sorry, but you'll just get in the way." said Psyche.

"Kay, I see." said Flare. "Then I guess you'll have no trouble building this entire ship by yourself, do you?"

"What, you're not gonna help me?" asked Psyche.

"You said, I'll just get in the way. So, I'll just go." said Flare.

Psyche gave himself a facehoof. "Okay, okay" he said. "You can join me in my moon trip."

"Happy face!" cried Flare. "You guys in?"

"No thanks, dude." said Engineer. "I'm actually requested at the castle tomorrow morning."

"I'll think about it." said Crystal.

"So let's build that rocket! And praise the Wizards!" cried Flare.

Blaze flew over to the group with Aquatic Armor. "Sorry we're late guys. Mister Water pony over here needed to let some water out." said Blaze.

"That means I had to go use the restroom." said Aqua.

"Alright. The more the merrier I guess." said Psyche.

So the six of them started building the rocket piece by piece, while I Ran (So Far Away) song by A Flock of Seagulls was playing in the background. Engineer started by building a Dispenser that's full of parts. Psyche was putting parts in place while Blaze welds the parts in place with his fire breath. Aquatic Armor and Crystal were testing out the thusters that go on the bottom. Aquatic Armor tells Crystal to go test the thusters. So Crystal turns on the thusters, but unaware that Aqua was still behind the thusters and got hit by the flames, and turned black as he burnt up. Aqua glares at Crystal, and Crystal was embarrassed. Flare was using his magic to give Blaze and Psyche some pieces, but Flare wanted to be goofy and place a part over Blaze's head. Flare released the piece and it landed on Blaze's head, which bumped his head. Blaze got mad, bursted into flames and started chasing Flare. Psyche gave himself a facehoof. Crystal, Psyche, and Aqua placed the thusters under the rocket. Engineer and Crystal gave eachother a mischievious look, and started spraying logos and stuff all over the rocket. Psyche got angry and banged his head on the rocket. Flare gave Psyche a glass of lemonade. Psyche smiled and drank it, then he spit it out. Flare started laughing, and pointed to Blaze who was making a BBQ on a grill, and there was grease. Eventually, it was dawn of the day and they were all standing outside looking at the freshly build rocket.

"She's a beauty all right! And she's mah beauty!" said Engineer.

"No it's Psyche's beauty." said Aqua. "Well done Psyche! You did good! You did real good!"

"Hey I'm just glad you guys helped. Thanks." said Psyche. "So who wants to go to the moon with me? I know Engineer's out. Crystal?"

"Yeah I just remembered, my coltfriend wanted me to run some errends while I was in Canterlot. Sorry dude." said Crystal.

"Aqua?" said Psyche.

"Yeah I hate heights." said Aqua. "You're gonna have to count me out of this one."

"Blaze?" asked Psyche.

"As much as I'd love to go, I can't." said Blaze. "The Wonderbolts are having an appearance in the next Superbowl, and Spitfire really wants me to practice."

"So it's just you and me, buddy ol pal! Smiley face." said Flare.

"Hurrah." Psyche said sarcasticly.

"So who's gonna be ground control?" asked Flare.

"I guess we have time to do it." said Blaze. "Crystal? Engine?"

"Yeah, I'm down." said Aqua.

"Me too." said Crystal.

Engineer's helmet started floating. "Nope." he said. Then his neck stretched out to reach the helmet. So Psyche and Flare put on space suits and step inside the rocket.

"This suit is too tight." said Flare. "I want larger size."

"Too bad, it's all we got." said Psyche.

"It's a good thing there's enough food in the fish feeder to keep the fish healthy for at least a week." said Flare. "How long were we gonna be on this trip again?"

"I don't know. As long as it takes." Said Psyche. Flare and Psyche sat down in their seats, and strapped on. "Strap on Flare. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!"

"LOL you said strap on!" teased Flare.

Psyche sighed, and then talked through his radio. "Ground control is Psyche. We're ready for take off!" he said.

"And we're ready for nachos! Lion face." Said Flare.

"Roger that Rocket 1, you are clear for take off." Said Blaze at ground control.

"Rocket 1? It's the only rocket we me." Said Crystal.

"T-Minis 10, 9, 8…." Said Blaze, starting the countdown.

"45, 67, 99, 82…." Said Flare.

"5, 66, 98…. STOP IT FLARE!" cried Blaze.

"ROFLMAO!" said Flare.

"3... 2... 1... LIFT OFF!" said Blaze. The rocket engines start and it starts launching into the air.

"We have lift off!" cried Aqua.

"Wait. Weren't they suppose to be prepared before being launched in a rocket into space?" asked Crystal.

"How's that?" asked Aqua.

"Like getting used to non-gravity, and being trained for space." said Crystal.

"I guess they couldn't wait." said Aqua.

Inside the rocket, Flare and Psyche were screaming while they were pushed into space. Their manes were blowing behind their heads, and their lips and eyelids were tingling back.

"Why did you taught me into doing this?" asked Flare with a shakey voice.

"I didn't, you got yourself into this." said Psyche with a shakey voice.

"No you!" cried Flare.

"No you!" cried Psyche.

"No you!" cried Flare.

"No you!" cried Psyche.

They kept saying 'no you' to eachother until the rocket left the Earth's atmosphere, then they started floating, but their seat belts were still holding them down.

"No you infinity!" said Flare.

"No you infinity plus one, HA!" said Psyche.

"LOL that is so lame! Plus one? That all you can do?" asked Flare. "Pathetic! No you, infinity plus infinity! You can't beat that!"

"Techinically, there's nothing beyond infinity." said Psyche.

"Except 'beyond'!" said Flare.

"That doesn't make sense." said Psyche.

"Neither does your face." said Flare. "And quit floating on your chair, it's getting creepy."

"I'll stop, if you stop." said Psyche.

"I'm not floating!" said Flare, but then he looks down and sees his bum is not on his seat. "I stand corrected. I don't know how it's happening. You're the pegasus here."

"You're the unicorn here." said Psyche, as he starts taking his seatbelt off. "As far as I'm concerned, maybe you're using your magic."

"I'm not using my magic right now. If I were, my horn would glow." said Flare. "And don't take off your seat belt, you'll get hurt."

"I'll be fine. There isn't much gravity here anyway." said Psyche.

"Luna did say something about not much gravy in space when she used to be stuck in the moon." said Flare. "Sounds awful! What will we do without gravy?"

"It's not gravy you twit, it's gravity." said Psyche as he unbuckles his seat belt, and starts flying. "Wow! I guess I don't need wings to fly while we're in space." Flare inhales real deep. "DON'T DO IT, FLARE!"

Then Flare yells out, "SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" Psyche covers his ears. "I've always wanted to say that! Happy face!"

"I've always not wanted to hear you say that." said Psyche.

Flare unbuckles his seat belt and starts flying. "Wow! It's like I'm an alicorn now! Except I don't have wings." said Flare. "I'm a flying unicorn! Pretty leet, huh?"

"Mmhmm." said Psyche.

Flare's stomach starts growling. "Hmm... I'm hungry." he said. "Good thing I bought a bag of potato chips." Flare takes out a bag of potato chips and opens them.

"WAIT! Don't open them!" cried Psyche, but he was too late. Then the potato chips start floating in the air.

"Whoa! Epic!" cried Flare. "Check it out dude! The chips are flying!"

"No, really?" said Psyche sarcasticly.

"No problemo brah! I can eat these chips without using my hooves, or magic!" said Flare, then he starts eating them while the Blue Danube Waltz was playing in the background. Each chip he ate was once every musical note.

"This is ridiculous!" said Psyche with a facehoof. "If a chip gets jammed on something, it'll be your fault!"

"Don't worry buddy!" said Flare. "We'll be a-okay! I'll have the place cleaned up in no time!"

"You think you'll get every crum?" asked Psyche.

"Don't act some crummy Psyche." said Flare.

"Why did I bring you along?" asked Psyche.

"Because I'm awesome possum!" said Flare. "And we're the Noble Six! The Noble Six sticks together!"

"We left over half the group back on the planet." said Psyche.

"I said the Noble Six sticks together, I didn't say we'd be all together." said Flare.

"That doesn't make a hint of sense!" said Psyche.

"Your face doesn't make a hint of sense." said Flare. "Now quit being a bore, and help me eat these chips."

"A bore?" asked Psyche, floating around not eating any chips.

"Yeah a bore." said Flare, still floating around eating chips. "You're boring me with your chit-chat."

"You're starting to get on my nerves." said Psyche.

"Well I have no idea where your nerds are, but I'm pretty much not on anything except the air." said Flare.

"What?" asked Psyche in concern.

"Hey, I'm getting full from these chips." said Flare, still eating chips. "Are you gonna help me eat them, or what?"

"No." said Psyche.

"Why not?" asked Flare.

"Because I'm not hungry." said Psyche.

"Remember when you said if the chips get jammed on something?" asked Flare. "Well it'll be partically your fault too, because you didn't help me out."

Psyche gave out a sigh. "You maybe getting on my nerves, but you make good points." he said.

"Again. Where are these nerds you are talking about?" asked Flare.

"NERVES, not NERDS!" Psyche corrected Flare.

"What you talking about? Speak Equestrian dude." said Flare.

A few hours later, they finally arrive at the moon. "Alright! Check it out Psyche!" said Flare. "We made it to the moon without Celestia banishing us here!"

"Yeah, that's nice." said Psyche. "Just put your helmet on so we can go outside."

"Why do we need these stupid suits for anyway?" asked Flare.

"Princess Luna says the air is not breathable out there." said Psyche. "We need oxygen in order to survive."

"Oh, so that's what this green cylinder thingy is for?" asked Flare.

"You catch on pretty quick dude." said Psyche, putting on his helmet. Flare puts on his helmet too, but while Psyche was gonna open the hatch, a remaining potato chip got inside a vent. Psyche opens the hatch and glides outside, and Flare follows. "This is one small step to ponykind!" said Psyche.

"Or this is one large jump to the Noble Six." said Flare, carrying a flagpole.

"What is that?" asked Psyche, pointing to the flagpole.

"Oh this? This is the flagpole I'm gonna place somewhere." said Flare.

"What kind of flag is that? What does the six mean?" asked Psyche.

"It represents the Noble Six, dum dum." said Flare. "Duh!"

"C'mon, follow me." said Psyche. "We're gonna explore."

"Lead the way!" said Flare. Psyche was walking around exploring, along with a couple of tools. Flare was jumping around. "Weeeeeee!" cried Flare. "Look how high I'm jumping! It's like wearing spring shoes!"

"Uh huh." said Psyche not really listening to him.

"Hey Psyche, what are you planning to do up here?" asked Flare.

"Studying." said Psyche.

"Studying what?" asked Flare.

"The moon. What else?" asked Psyche in an annoyed mood.

"How about we study Uranus?" asked Flare.

"What is that suppose to mean?" asked Psyche.

"You know, the planet?" asked Flare.

"That's nice." said Psyche.

"Oh this looks like a good spot to set the flag!" said Flare. Flare raises the flag up in the air, and screams, then places the flagpole in place. "YES! I dub the Noble Six, into a full moon!" he said shaking his butt around. Psyche sighed. "Hey, I'm gonna go ahead. You're going to darn slow!" Flare said.

"Go ahead. Have fun." said Psyche. So Flare starts jumping away, having fun. An hour went by, and Psyche wanted to stop and rest for a little bit. He placed his portable telescope down, sat down on a moon rock, and looked through the telescope. As he was looking, he heard whispers in the backgound.

"Psyche..." said an echo.

"Huh? Who's there?" asked Psyche, looking around feeling concerned. He shrugged and looked through the telescope again.

"Psyche..." the echo said again.

"Flare? Is that you?" asked Psyche. "This isn't funny." Psyche looked around again. A shadow ran by behind him, but it wasn't a pony. "Flare? Stop it! If this is a prank, I'm so gonna kill you!" A sound started rolling towards him, and it was Flare's air helmet. "FLARE?" A big shadow started walking towards Psyche. Psyche screamed and started to run. He ran all the way to the ship. He started pulling the hatch, but it was shut. Flare opened the hatch from the other side, then Psyche screamed.

"Sup brah?" said Flare.

"DUDE! There's something out there!" cried Psyche.

"You mean like an alien?" asked Flare.

"Yeah, something like that." said Psyche.

Flare smiled big. "You know what this means?" asked Flare.

"Wait, I saw your air helmet out there." said Psyche.

"Uh, I'm wearing my air helmet." said Flare.

"So that means there must be somepony else up here with us." said Psyche. "And the alien has it!"

"I guess this just turned from a study project, to a rescue huh?" asked Flare.

"Yeah sure, whatever you say." said Psyche. "But listen, I don't think we can do this alone."

"Look, as long as I have my magic handy, we should be fine!" said Flare.

"And how you suppose to use your magic with an air helmet on?" asked Psyche.

"I can do magic, watch!" he said, as he uses his psychokinesis to lift Psyche up.

"Alright... alright I think you made your point." said Psyche still getting lifted in the air. "PLEASE PUT ME DOWN?"

"Sure thing!" said Flare, then Psyche slowly started falling back on the moon. "Oh I forgot about the low-gravity. Oh well."

"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Psyche.

"I'm hungry, let's have dinner." said Flare.

Psyche goes inside the rocket with Flare, and get some food out of the freezer.

"TV dinners?" asked Flare.

"Yeah." said Psyche.

"I'm kinda in the mood for spaghetti." said Flare.

"Too bad. We left the planet's orbit and now we have to eat food that won't float away." said Psyche.

"This stinks." said Flare.

"No kidding." said Psyche. "But it's the way space works."

"SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" cried Flare.

"I don't you not to do that!" said Psyche.

"I told you to stop whinning like a little foal, and start cooking the food." said Flare.

"You didn't tell me that." said Psyche.

"I did now, so hop to it!" said Flare. Psyche puts the dinners in the microwave and when they were done, he put them on the table. "What is this?"

"Spaghetti, like you wanted." said Psyche.

"Oh yeah, LOL!" said Flare. "Thanks brah!" So the two of them started eating the food. "This spaghetti tastes funny. And not LOLOL funny, more like BLAH funny."

"What's wrong now?" asked Psyche with an attitude.

"I usually like to eat fresh spaghetti. I mean, don't get me wrong, this is okay. But I kinda like fresh pasta better." said Flare.

"Sorry, no fresh pasta in space." said Psyche.

"SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" cried Flare.

"Do you have to say that every time I say space?" asked Psyche. "NO WAIT-"

"SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" cried Flare. Psyche gave himself a facehoof, and finished his meal. Eventually they were both finished with their food.

"Alright Flare, I'm going back outside." said Psyche.

"Don't let the hatch hit you on the way out. Lion face." said Flare.

Psyche grunted. "What are you gonna do?" he asked.

"I'm gonna stay put." said Flare.

"Alright." said Psyche, as he puts on his helmet. He opens the hatch and hops outside, and closes the hatch behind him. Psyche glided through the open moon space, carrying some stuff with him. He walked for a few minutes and set up in a spot. "This looks like a good spot." he said, as he set everything down in that spot. Psyche was looking through the telescope and taking notes on what he can find. "Mmhmm. Interesting." he said.

"Psyche..." said an echo.

"Oh not this again." he said with a facehoof. "I'm not afraid of you! So you can just leave me be!" he yelled out.

"Psyche..." said the echo. "You're trespassing... leave at once..."

"No. You leave at once. I'm trying to study our galaxy here." said Psyche.

"Trepasser..." said the echo. "Trespasser..."

"Princess Luna wouldn't mind us here. We're friends of hers." said Psyche.

"Noooo... Princess Luna no say so." said the echo. "You... will... PERISH!" The shadow started walking slowly towards Psyche. Psyche screamed, knocked over his telescope, and started running away. Psyche then tripped over a rock, and the shadow was standing above him.

"Please! I'm sorry to intrude! My telescope is broken now anyway, so there's pretty much nothing more I can do here!" said Psyche in fear. "Please! Let me live!" Psyche started crying in mercy.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" said the echo. "You should've seen the look on your face brah!"

"What the?" said Psyche in concern. The shadow was revealed to be Flare with a voice changer and a hood with spikes on it.

"LOLOLOLOLOL! You were crying and everything! EX DEE! EX DEE!" said Flare as he laughed.

Psyche started getting real angry, and blew steam out of his ears and nose. "FLARE!" he yelled. He stood up and slowly walked towards Flare, Flare backed away in embarrassment. "THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! YOU REALLY DONE IT NOW! YOU SCARED THE LIVING FEATHERS OUT OF ME! YOU EVEN BROKE MY TELESCOPE AND MADE ME SPILL WATER MY JOURNAL! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!"

"I'm... sorry Psyche." said Flare. "Sad face."

"SORRY AND SAD FACE DOESN'T CUT IT! YOU RUINED MY RESEARCH!" Psyche yelled at Flare. "GET IN THE ROCKET! WE'RE GOING HOME!"

"But we can still have fun up here while it lasts." suggested Flare.

"GOOOO!" Psyche ordered.

Flare sadly walked to the rocket along with Psyche. "LOL, that was funny brah!" said Flare.

"NO IT WASN'T!" Psyche yelled.

"You mad bro?" asked Flare. Psyche grunted real loud, then he jumped inside the rocket. Flare followed him inside, then Psyche started the rocket.

"Buckle up. If you don't talk to me, maybe I'll forgive you." said Psyche. Psyche was about to set course to home, but the engines started to smoke. "NO NO NO!" he cried. Psyche got out of the rocket and looked at the engines. He thought for a second, then he went back inside and looked inside the engine vents. "WHAT IS THIS?" he yelled. Psyche comes out of the vents with a potato chip. "LOOK! A potato chip!" Flare didn't say anything. "I wonder where this came from?" Psyche said with an attitude. "HEY! Are you listening to me?"

"YOU TOLD ME NOT TO TALK TO YOU!" Flare yelled.

"YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID?" Psyche yelled. "BECAUSE OF YOUR POTATO CHIPS, THE ENGINES ARE FIRED! NOW WE'RE TRAPPED ON THE MOON!"

"Have you tried fixing it brah? Herp-derp!" asked Psyche.

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" Psyche yelled. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HAVEN'T EATEN THOSE POTATO CHIPS, WE WOULD BE GOING HOME RIGHT NOW! THE ENGINES ARE BUSTED! I DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS!"

"Well it's your fault you didn't bring the tools." said Flare. "Serious face."

The top of Psyche's head opened like a hatch and an explosion came out, then it closed. Psyche was steaming, his face was turning red, and he was really angry.

"Hey your brain just exploded! Lion face." said Flare. "Look, I apologize, but maybe if we work together..."

"I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP ANYMORE! I DON'T NEED YOU!" Psyche yelled. "ALL YOU DO IS MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE! YOU ARE THE MOST USELESS PONY I HAVE EVER MET! AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU, OR ANYPONY ELSE CAN DO THAT CAN CHANGE THAT! I HATE YOU!"

"ANGRY FACE!" Flare yelled. "IF YOU WEREN'T SO BORING, MAYBE YOU'D STILL BE STUDYING, AND I WOULDN'VE PRANKED YOU!"

"OH, LIKE YOU WOULDN'T PRANK ME ANYWAY!" Psyche yelled.

"Hey maybe if you just cried about it, maybe it'll all feel better." said Flare in anger. "C'mon Psyche, hold my hoof. Let's cry together. WAAAAAAAH!"

"I thought you were better than that. Clearly I was mistaken." said Psyche. "I'm gonna try to radio home for help. Don't talk to me, and don't get near me. Once we get home, I don't want to see you anymore. Oh, and I'm leaving the Noble Six."

Flare started to tear up. "Crying face." he said. Then got angery. "Angry face! FINE, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANNA BE, THEN I'M LEAVING YOU IN THIS ROCKET ALONE! I JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! YOU THINK I'VE BEEN TO SPACE BEFORE?" Flare climbed out the hatch and hopped far away. Psyche shock his head.

Meanwhile back at the observatory, Spike was still trying to look for some files. Princess Luna came into the observatory. "Psyche? Are thou here?" asked Luna. Luna looked around the observatory and couldn't find anyone around. She looked all over, but still couldn't find anyone. She eventually went into the storage room, and found Spike looking at files.

"Spike?" said Luna.

"Huh? Oh hey Princess Luna." said Spike, still looking.

"What are you doing?" asked Luna.

"Looking for a file for Psyche." said Spike.

"Uh huh." said Luna. "Do you know where he is?"

"Hang on second, Princess. Found it!" said Spike, then he looks at Luna. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Do you know where Psyche is?" asked Luna.

"Oh, him and Flare went to the moon." said Spike.

"What?" said Luna in shock. "How?"

"They build a rocket." said Spike.

"Oh yeah, those new space shuttles." said Luna. "Maybe I can go check up on them."

"While you're at it, can you ask Psyche if he still wants this file?" asked Spike.

A few hours went by, and Flare was kicking a rock around. "That stupid Psyche!" he said. "He thinks he's so smart. He thinks he's better than everypony else! Angry face! I wish he wasn't so stubborn, you know? I was only trying to have fun. I didn't mean to make him break his equipment. It should teach him to be prepared for situations like this. He didn't have to bring me with him. I guess this means the Noble Six is turning into the Noble Five. Sad face." Flare sadly keeps walking, but then falls in a crater. "Ouch! You know? They should put a 'watch out' sign, or 'crater' sign, or 'wet floor' sign, or something. I just walk into a crater and fall. I'm trapped on the moon with Psyche, I might as well die here."

Flare looks up ahead and sees a light. "I guess I'm already dead." he said. "I don't feel dead. But then again, I don't feel anything when I'm dead. Do I?" Flare stands up, and starts walking towards the light on the other side of the tunnel. When Flare reaches the light, it's actually a door with a crystal light, with a big L on the door. "What in the Wizard of Feelings is this?" Flare opens the door, and sees a big room that looks like a Living Room with a kitchen. The whole room was blue, had crystals lighting the room, the couches had stars on it, and there was a plasma screen TV with some video game consoles. "What is this place?" Flare looks on the wall, and sees pictures of Princess Luna. "AH HA! This must be where Princess Luna stays when she visits the moon!" Flare then had something popped in his brain. "Wait! Maybe we won't be stuck up here in the moon forever! Maybe Princess Luna will come here, and she'll take us home! Like that!" said Flare. Flare then got angery again. "But who cares what Psyche thinks. He can rot here in space for all I care." Flare looked around Luna's place, from her bedroom, to bathroom, to a room full of monitors. Flare also looked in Luna's trash bin full of anti-Celestia photos. Once Flare went back to the Living room, he became short of breath. "Wow... is anypony else having a hard time breathing, or is it just me? Oh wait, yeah it is just me." he said. Flare looked at his oxygen tank meter, and it was on E. "I guess E means, end of the line." said Flare. "If I don't make it... tell... my fishies... I... less then three..." Flare collapsed on the floor. But before he passed out, he saw a shadow walking towards him.

Later on, Flare awakened back in the ship, with Psyche and Princess Luna. Luna was standing right over him. "Are you okay, Flare Gun?" she asked.

"Oh hey, Luna." said Flare, just coming to his senses. Flare rubbed his head and grunted. "What happened?"

"I was just checking on things, and Psyche said you and him were stranded here." said Luna. "Found you in my home."

"Your house was leet! When did you get an XBOX?" asked Flare.

"Since you told me about them, I was like, why not? So I bought one." said Luna.

"So when you were banished up here, that's where you stayed?" asked Flare.

"Pretty much." said Luna. "Your oxygen tank was empty."

"Oh. Well... thanks for saving me Luna. I owe you one!" said Flare.

"You don't owe me anything. It was actually Psyche that rescued you." said Luna.

"Psyche? No." said Flare in denial. "He wouldn't."

"Actually I would." said Psyche, walking to the room wearing a sweater and drinking some hot cocoa.

"I thought you never wanted to see me again?" asked Flare.

"I did." said Psyche. "But I didn't mean it. It's not your fault. I know you didn't know that chips could actually destroy the engines."

"I know. Sorry I ruined your project. Sad face." said Flare sadly.

"It's cool man. I actually had fun." said Psyche. "An hour after you left, I got worried. I was thinking about how much I hurt your feelings, so I followed your foot prints, and found you at Luna's place. You were lying on the ground, unconcious. I was really upset, thinking I lost you. But Princess Luna came in just in time, and used her magic to put more oxygen in your tank. So we bought you back to the ship. I asked Luna how we could get home, so we fixed the engines, and we waited until you got up."

"Oh... so we're still in space?" asked Flare.

"Yeah, why?" asked Psyche.

"Good! I wanted to do one thing real quick!" said Flare. He jumped up, took a camera, then went back outside. He placed the camera in front of him, he ran back, and lifted his hooves up. The camera flash automaticly, and a picture came out, showing Flare holding the Earth. "Kay kay, I'm done. Let's go." he said. Flare took the camera, jumped back into the rocket, and strapped himself in.

"You ready Flare?" asked Psyche.

"Ready as spaghetti!" said Flare. "Luna?"

"Yep!" said Luna. So Psyche started the rocket, and started flying it towards home. Psyche presses a button and parashutes started coming out from the back.

"Careful, we're coming in hot!" said Psyche.

"I like it hot, hot, hot!" sang Flare. The rocket was falling fast, and finally landed in the Everfree Forest.

"Out of all the places, why did we have to land here?" asked Psyche.

Back at the observatory Spike, Engineer, Crystal, Blaze, and Aqua were waiting for them to return.

"Can you pass me those chocolate kisses?" asked Blaze.

"Okay." said Crystal. She puts chocolate on her lips and leans over to kiss Blaze.

"Whoa there wise filly!" said Blaze leaning away from her. "I didn't mean it like that."

"I wonder if Flare and Psyche are having fun in the moon?" asked Aqua.

"Nope, we're having fun down here!" said Psyche, walking inside the observatory with Flare and Luna.

"There ya'll are!" said Engineer. "We were gettin mighty worried!"

"We're doing epic! We had an epic time, brah! Epic, epic, epic!" said Flare.

"Yep, what he said!" said Psyche. "So Luna, mind if I borrow the observatory a little longer?"

"Of course not!" said Luna. "You can use it for as long as you want!"

"Thanks Princess!" said Psyche.

"So how did you guys do down here?" asked Flare.

"Could've been better partner. We should've went with ya." said Engineer.

"Yeah for sure." said Aqua.

"Why couldn't I go?" asked Spike.

"You didn't ask. LOL!" said Flare.

"So what did you guys discover up there?" asked Blaze.

"Lots of stuff. But a true astronaut doesn't reveal all his or her secrets. Winkey face." said Flare. "Right, Psyche?"

"That's right, Flare!" said Psyche.

"LOL right?" asked Flare.

"Alright dude, don't push it." said Psyche.

"So did you learn anything from this trip, Flare Gun?" asked Luna.

"Yes! I learned that potato chips ruin engines, they can float in low-gravity, and there is limit supply on oxygen tanks." said Flare.

"I meant about friendship." said Luna.

"Well my buddy Psyche here should help me out in this one." said Flare.

"Oh here we go about learning about friendship again." said Aqua with a facehoof.

"What the Flarester here learned, was that you should listen to your buddies if they have more experience then you in some circumstances." said Flare. "It helps not screw anything help. I should've listened to you brah."

"I know." said Psyche with a smile.

"Well? Now it's your turn dude!" said Flare.

"Oh right." said Psyche with a chuckle. "I learned that you should control your anger, and not always blame it on the ones that only want to have fun. And not always melt down when they didn't know they did anything wrong."

"That was a great lesson for you two, Flare Gun and Psyche!" said Luna with a smile.

"Thanks Luna!" said Psyche.

"So you still want a letter of what I learned today?" asked Flare.

Luna laughed. "No thank you. What I had was enough." she said.

"So can I have those chocolate kisses now?" asked Blaze.

"I thought you said you didn't want them?" asked Crystal.

"I meant..." Blaze gave himself a facehoof and sighed.

"I've been waiting for some more ice cubes." said Spike.
