Never knew the truth

Chapter 13: Trouble around Equestria

Moonlight, Celestia, Luna, Discord, Shadow Blade and Roselove were in the throne room of Canterlot castle. Moonlight glared at Roselove who quickly hid behind Shadow Blade. „Explain yourself, Moonlight!", Celestia commanded. „I just did what you wanted me to do, 'aunt' Celestia, then Roselove said we should play hide-and-seek in the castle and stupid as I am I agreed.", Moonlight replied, still slightly annoyed. „I did nothing of the sort!", Roselove called out. Shadow Blade looked at her. She was the reason Moonlight was in trouble and she knew that. „If I may remind the princess of the day that she is partly fault herself? If you hadn't gave Moonlight this stupid task this wouldn't have happened in the first place.", Discord said, standing up for Moonlight. 'Thank you Discord. I knew I could always count on you.', Moonlight said to herself. „Nonetheless, she used her magic against another Alicorn, which means...", Luna started. Moonlight knew what was going to come, because Luna said that in a very serious tone. „...she gets rid of her magic and flight for the next week." „I knew it. You are lucky that I didn't tell Discord to banish you to the frozen north, little brat.", Moonlight glared at Roselove, which made her cry. Shadow Blade comforted her, glaring at Moonlight. 'Ah s***. Now my boyfriend likes this little brat more than me.', Moonlight thought.

Moonlight stood in the middle of the throne room. Celestia and Luna nodded and Discord took her horn and wings with a snap of his fingers. „I'm sorry Moonlight, but you know the rule: No use of magic against other Alicorns.", Luna said, looking down at her student. Moonlight just snorted and left the room. „I think you overdid it, Celestia.", Shadow Blade looked up at Celestia. „I didn't carry out the punishment, I'm not able to use my make to get a pony rid of its horn or wings.", Celestia explained.

Meanwhile Moonlight, who is now an earth pony thanks to her punishment, was in the sculpture garden, standing at the pillar where once Discord stood on. „Discord may I ask you for a favor? I know that you actually not the kind of pony to accept such requests, but still...", Moonlight said. Whenever Moonlight was either sad, angry or scared, it was up to Discord to cheer her up, but this time even he failed. „I'm sorry for taking your wings and horn, it was a command by princess Celestia.", Discord replied. „I know and I don't blame you for this but could you teleport me to Fluttershy. She may be the onlyone who understands my struggles.", Moonlight explained. When Discord asked, why he should do that, Moonlight just said that everyone in Canterlot knows her and Ponyville just knows that princess Twillight knows Luna's student in person (or in pony in this case). He did as he was told and Moonlight was at Fluttershy's cottage.

Meanwhile in Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash's cousin came over for the week for a chemics contest in Ponyville. „Mom, Chemical Dash is boring.", Rainbow protested. „Nonsense. He is just not like you. Speaking of different, you are friends with a princess, an unicorn and two earth ponies, and let us don't forget Fluttershy.", her mother, Aurora Dash, said. A knock on the door was heard. „That must be your cousin from Las Pegasus. I'm sure you two will get along well.", Aurora opened the door but instead of Chemical Dash it was Fluttershy. „Uhm...hello...is Rainbow at home? I need to talk to her, fast.", Fluttershy asked with her shaky voice. Rainbow came to the door. „Hey Flutters, what's up? I told you that my cousin comes today.", Rainbow Dash asked. „We have a huge problem. Moonlight lost her horn and wings for a week because she used her magic against princess Roslove, Twilight's niece.", Fluttershy explained. Suddenly a red pegasus with black hair and a pair of glasses tapped on Fluttershy's shoulder, making her jump. „Excuse me, my pretty lady, I didn't know this would scare you. My name is Chemical Dash.", Chamical Dash said. „I'm used to get scared, even though it's nothing to be proud of. I'm Fluttershy. Nice to meet you Chemical.", Fluttershy awnsered.

After everything was settled, Fluttershy asked Rainbow to come with her to her cottage. Chemical Dash joined them, his excuse was that he couldn't let the pretty face of Fluttershy get hurt, as with the rest of her body. „I really appriciate it that you are such a gentlecolt Chemical Dash, but I already have a boyfriend.", Fluttershy lied with the statement she had a boyfriend.

Inside the cottage sat the earth pony Moonlight on Fluttershy's couch. Chemical Dash saw her and immidiatly liked her. For some reason did he loved earth ponies. „My dearest angel, my name is Chemical Dash. May I have your name, my dear? I'm sure it as beautiful as your face.", he said when he came to her. „My name is Moonlight. I'm actually...", Moonlight was interupted by Rainbow who pulled her cousin away from her. 'He has a strange affection to earth ponies.', Rainbow whispered to Moonlight. Moonlight nodded, still she thought that he should know that she got rid of her horn and wings because of a little princess.

What will happen if he knew that she is actually an Alicorn? And what will happen if he finds out that she already has a boyfriend?
