The next couple days were filled with some backlash on the Equestrian front, but all in all, nothing really big happened in New Liberty. Luna and Dominic spent a few more nights stargazing and talking, all the while Jen prodded the young man for details about what had happened the night that the stars had moved. She thought there had been some real fireworks, but Dominic assured her that she needed to get her mind out of the gutter.

As it stood, Dominic was preparing for his mission through the portal. He’d gathered a good amount of gold from the reparations paid by the Changelings and had put it aside for Operation: Static. The man stood in his office, contemplating what items he should bring with him through the portal. He hadn’t told Luna yet, but he suspected she’d already figured it out, considering Bulwark had asked for Equestrian Identification Cards for two thestrals and a human.

He didn’t know why he hadn’t told her himself yet, even if she knew already, perhaps he was afraid of what she’d say. Dominic gently set his shotgun off to the side, deciding it wasn’t necessary for the mission, but he kept his knife and revolver on the table. He’d take his jacket and some extra clothes, and maybe even his helmet. Part of him wished he could bring Luna with him, but that would make things too complicated.

Slowy Dominic packed his gear into his backpack and buckled it shut, minus the gold of course. That would get its own bag, just in case. The mission was getting closer and closer, so close in fact that he would be departing for the Crystal Empire tomorrow. He had the list of what he’d need, he had his best troops coming with him, and he knew that it would all lead to a better future, but still… He worried about what would happen when he went through the portal. Would it even work? Would he end up exploding or something?

“Better me than Jen…” Dominic muttered to himself as he briefly turned his head to glance out the window, contemplating what would happen to Luna and Maria and everyone else he cared about if that happened. After a few moments he shook his head and went back to looking over his gear, thinking negatively about it wouldn’t do any good. The man nodded quietly as he finished packing what he thought he’d need, then picked up his music player and put in his earbuds. Quietly he walked to his chair and sat down, leaning back and closing his eyes as he turned on the player. It was a soft melody at first, the beginning of a song titled ‘The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight’ by a group called ‘Blind Guardian’.

Dominic hadn’t remembered putting that band on any music player he’d ever owned ever, but he figured that Discord had added a couple songs of his own when he’d had custody of the device. The man didn’t fault the chaos god’s choice of music either, it was actually some of the better music he’d heard in his time. Then again, going three years without music tends to make one biased when they hear it once again.

There was a knock on the door, one that Dominic barely heard over his music, he removed one earbud and sat up before calling out.

“Come in!” The door opened inward, revealing the familiar face of Luna. She had taken to combing her mane a bit differently lately, a way that Dominic thought looked far better than just letting it wave on its own. The mare had her horn glowing and a couple items were floating beside her, once was a manilla envelope that Dominic was sure held the ID cards that had been requested. The other was long and rather thin, wrapped in plain brown paper, Dominic didn’t know what that one was. “Hey, Luna! I was actually just about to come looking for you!” The man paused his music as the mare entered his office and set the items down on his desk.

“I assume there’s something you want to tell us?” Luna asked, she didn’t sound upset, just curious. Nonetheless, Dominic tugged at his collar nervously.

“Yeah… I wanted to tell you about the Crystal Empire thing…” Dominic began, Luna shook her head and gave a slight chuckle before she used her magic to open the envelope, then levitated three cards out of it. Two she let sit on the desk, she continued holding one up, Dominic gulped as he spotted the picture of him on the front. It wasn’t his worst picture, but it certainly wasn’t his best.

“You needn’t worry, Dominic.” Luna said as she looked at the document. “I understand, I just wish you’d told me sooner.” The man began to speak, but figured he should keep his mouth shut, Luna didn’t sound angry, but she didn’t sound happy either. “I hope you don’t mind the image we chose for your cutie mark?” She levitated the card over to Dominic and he took a look at it, next to his information and picture was the black outline of a hand clutching an arrow and an olive branch.

“It’s… Very nice, Luna. Thank you.” Dominic said nervously, Luna picked up on it and shook her head quietly.

“If I were mad at you you would know, it takes a little more than this to ruffle my feathers.” Luna smiled at him, that disarmed Dominic’s worry pretty quickly. “Actually it gave me a chance to get something shipped here with the cards.” Dominic’s eyes shifted to the box that was seated on his desk, wrapped in paper, he began reaching for it. “Ah ah, not yet… You’ll have to wait to see what’s in it, I haven’t had time to properly prepare it.”

“Why’d you bring it with you then?” Dominic asked.

“Because we only just now recieved them and have yet to bring them to our room…” Luna paused as she heard herself slip into the royal we, she began to ignite her horn but Dominic held up a hand.

“Please, you don’t have to do that…” He said, Luna smiled a little more as she looked back to the box.

“Thou art sweet…” She picked it up with her magic and floated it back over to her. “We shall let thee prepare for thine journey.” Dominic held up his hand again, causing the mare to stop and tilt her head at him. The man had just remembered he had his earbuds, and he had yet to let lunar princess listen to any of his human music.

“Come here, I want you to listen to something.” Dominic said in a warm tone, Luna smiled and set the box down on the desk once again. She trotted around the desk and sat down, allowing Dominic to put his earbuds on her, it was a bit awkward considering how her ears were different from a human's, but eventually he got it set up. The man flicked through a few different songs before smiling as he recognized the title on one, then he hit play..

Luna’s eyes widened as the music began to play, she moved one of her hooves up to her ears to hold the earbud a little tighter. Dominic smiled as he saw the princess contemplating what she was hearing.

“Sorry, it’s not in english.” The man began, Luna shook her head rapidly.

“Tis… Beautiful.” Luna admitted, swaying back and forth as she continued to listen to the song. “We hath not heard music like this in many years… This style seems to have gone out of fashion…”

“I always had a soft spot for opera.” Dominic admitted, going quiet once again so that Luna could continued listening to the music. She was amazed that such a small device like Dominic’s could produce such beautiful music, and more importantly, she hadn’t expected humanity’s music to sound so similar to older Equestrian styles. It brought Luna back to a time before her banishment, when she and her sister hadn’t been at odds. She froze when she felt Dominic wipe her eyes with a tissue, she hadn’t realized she’d teared up. Eventually the song came to an end and Luna removed the earbuds. “I take it you liked it?”

“Yes, we did, very much so.” Luna replied, sniffling for a moment as she composed herself. “We only wish we could’ve heard it without those little things…” She pointed to Dominic’s earbuds, the man paused and hummed to himself.

“Well, tell ya what, if I happen across any records or speakers or anything like that while I’m on the other side I’ll pick one or two up for you.” Dominic smiled at Luna, the mare returned it with a bit of a blush. The man supposed it could be viewed that he was making moves on her, in a subconscious way he was. He cared deeply about her, even if he wasn’t ready to come out and fully say it.

“Thank you, Dominic.” The princess said, she leaned forwards and nuzzled against the man before leaning back and adjusting her seat. “We must go though, there is work for us to do for tomorrow, and we art sure thou will want to deliver the identification cards.” Luna stood up, much to Dominic’s dismay, he knew he’d get to see her tomorrow though, if not again that night.

“Alright, I’ll see you around Lu.” The man said as he watched the Princess levitate the box she’d entered with under her wing, then walk to the door.

“Farewell, Dominic.” Their two stares lingered for a few moments before the princess left, Dominic sighed quietly and looked at the Identity cards that had been left on his desk. He picked up his card and looked it over again, he’d been given a false name and a birthdate that corresponded with its Equestrian counterpart.

“Honey Pop… Huh...” He read his alias aloud before shrugging and clearing his throat. “Hey, Sonar?” He called, a few seconds later the door opened and the spectacled mare poked her head in. Dominic suppressed an urge to go over and give the mare a hug, she looked like she was an absolute wreck, and yet at the same time, as professional as ever. Losing her husband had hit her harder than Dominic had thought, but it hadn’t stopped her from doing her work.

“Yes, Mister President?” She asked.

“Would you please send for General Bulwark, Major Thunder, and Corporal Walls?” Dominic asked politely, the mare nodded and gave a slight hollow smile before she closed the door. The President sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, part of him knew that going through the portal could put more ponies at risk, but the other part knew of the suffering beyond that portal, and that was kept him on his current mission to secure their safety.

He decided to just light a cigar and forget about it for now, instead musing on what was in that box that Luna had. It was rather long and small, not short enough to be a tie but definitely shorter than a rifle. He’d have to think about it a bit more, but as his thoughts went back to Operation: Terra Nova Dominic realized that he would have more than an opportunity to acquire music and radio equipment. He could acquire better armor, things that would be more suited to fighting the infected as opposed to an armed opponent. The man added that to his list of mental objectives.

The door to his office without a knock, causing him to sit up straight. Three thestrals entered the room, the three thestrals that he’d asked to see. They snapped to attention and saluted after they closed the door behind them.

“At ease, gentlemen.” Dominic said as he rose to his feet, the soldiers stood at ease. “I have just received our identification cards from the Equestrians, as of now the mission is a go.” Dominic picked up the cards and his desk and handed one to both Rolling Thunder and Fortress Wall. “As it is very likely we will have counterparts on the other side, we have all been issued aliases. Mine is Honey Pop, Major Thunder’s is Passing Lightning and Corporal Walls is Sheet Rock.”

“Understood, sir.” The soldiers said with nods that thinly hid the smirks that had formed at the mention of the president’s alias, Dominic nodded to General Bulwark and puffed on his cigar before sitting back down.

“Get comfortable, boys. We’re going to be going over the briefing again.” Dominic adjusted his position in his seat as the Fortress Wall and Rolling Thunder sat down. General Bulwark cleared his throat as he pulled a few documents from his uniform jacket.

“Operation: Static will have you in country for at least two days, at most two weeks. During that time your main objectives are as follows. Acquire items on the list by any means necessary, acquire items of opportunity, and gain information on the other world as a whole.” Bulwark began walking back and forth as he read over the documents while Dominic and the others nodded along. “Secondary Objectives are as follows. Capture or Neutralize Equestrian fugitive Sunset Shimmer before she can inflict any harm upon the people of the other world or ours. Any questions so far?”

“I have one, sir.” Fortress Wall spoke up, Bulwark nodded. “This other world is supposed to have folks like the President and Miss Jen, and I know there’s supposed to be some sort of magic that’ll fix it so we look like them, but… What if it doesn’t work on thestrals?”

“I’ll carry out the mission alone, or have a team Equestrians sent through.” Dominic said in a neutral tone, Fortress Wall nodded and went back to sitting silently. Bulwark cleared his throat once again and continued on down the list of items that would be needed, that was honestly the part that made it boring. All those going on the mission knew what they were looking to get by heart, they’d only read it a hundred times after all.

Eventually the Mission Briefing came to an end, when it did Dominic stood up and addressed the two stallions that would be coming with him through the portal.

“You all remember what you’ve been told about military secrecy, correct?” He asked, the soldiers nodded dutifully.

“If we wouldn’t tell it to Sombra we shouldn’t tell it to anyone.” They replied in unison, Dominic nodded.

“Dismissed.” The two soldiers promptly snapped to salutes, salutes that were returned just as quickly by the president. With that the two of them turned and walked out, leaving Dominic and Bulwark as the only occupants of the room. The president sighed and and puffed on his cigar again, his expression becoming rather cold. “Any word from the Diamond Dogs or the Buffalo, I’ve been waiting on the Buffalo for a while…”

“No, sir. We’ve been sending and receiving messages between us and the Hive though, so far they’ve managed to set up a bit more of a peaceful government, but they haven’t gotten into contact with their other hives yet…” Bulwark explained, Dominic let out a long groan as he tapped the ash off the end of his cigar into an ash tray.

“So as far as the other hives know they’re still at war… Which means we could be in some deep shit if they decide to make a move.” Dominic muttered, he looked towards the ground quietly. “I don’t like having that thought if I’m going away for a while, Bulwark. We have no tactical information on them other than they’re out there… Somewhere.”

“I can increase our aerial patrols, sir, it’ll give us at least a better chance at early warning.” Bulwark suggested, Dominic nodded as he took another puff of his shortening cigar.

“Alright… See if we can get some sort of Changeling Ambassador here as well, that way if one of these guys shows up we’ll have some form of diplomatic option.” The President ordered, Bulwark nodded and mentally added that to his list of things to do. “What’s the word on the supplies we ordered?”

“It should be here within the next month, we aren’t really close to a main rail line yet, so they have to build one to us.” Bulwark commented, Dominic raised an eyebrow at that. “They’re paying out of pocket for it, sir. They’re guarantee is that they’ll ship it anywhere no matter the cost.”

“What a bunch of idiots…” Dominic muttered before he exhaled a cloud of smoke. “Good though, I’ll have something to look forwards to when I get back.” The man walked over to the window and peeked out it for a brief moment, the night sky was above and he could see the constellation that Luna had made him. “Anything you had concerns about, Bulwark?”

“No, sir.” The general replied, Dominic gave a nod.

“You’re dismissed.” The President’s tone was a bit tired, the general nodded and left the room without another word. Dominic sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, hoping that at least the mission would go by easily.

Jen quietly flipped through her novel in full view of Johnny, not really caring that he could see that she was reading it. She had a devilish smile across her face, one that promised mischief among other things. She was laying on her bed while the man was sitting at the dinner table working on making a couple different things out of scrap metal and wire. Normally this time would be used for things like dinner or dessert, but put simply, they were both a little stressed out.

Johnny would occasionally glance over at Jen, every time he would she’d glance at him and smirk, then wave. He’d quickly go back to his work at the table, scowling as he did so. He’d had this boredom coming, he shouldn’t have messed with Jen’s novel. Normally the two of them would be doing something to alleviate the boredom and stress together, but she’d said they couldn’t do that for at least a couple days because he’d been an idiot and read her book.

So far Johnny had used his innate skills at making things from nothing to create a little pair of tongs from an old wire coat hanger, a miniature seesaw from his some scrap wood and some screws, and a nail in a baseball. They couldn’t all be successful or special.

“Hey, Jen?” Johnny asked, looking over at the woman with a hopeful tone of voice.

“Mmm?” She hummed, not looking away from her book.

“I’m sorry I read your novel.” Johnny said, Jen just nodded quietly as she continued to smirk her little smirk. “Can I come read it with you?”

“Nope.” Jen said in a sing song voice, flipping to another page. “You wouldn’t like it anyway, I’m at the part where they climb out of the freezing water on the shore of the island so they have to take off their clothes, you wouldn’t be interested in something like that.”

“Oh, yes, I would!” Johnny said quickly, Jen just shook her head with that same smile of hers. The man sighed and looked around for a moment, then stood up and cleared his throat. “Alright… I’m gonna go take a shower then… A very cold shower.”

“Okay, hon!” Jen replied, her eyes followed Johnny as he went into the bathroom. Once the door was closed her smile faded and she let out a slight groan. Punishing Johnny was proving harder than she thought it would be, especially now that she was reading her novel so often and her imagination had time to wander. She was sure that she’d need to take a cold shower after Johnny had finished with his. Jen scowled as she thought of that, she could just imagine him in the bathroom, soaking wet in cold water… Just like the knight in her novel.

“No no no… Bad Jen…” She said to herself, she decided to put her novel down for a second or two. Just to give herself a chance to calm down. “Just stick it out until tomorrow, then I’ll really give it to him…” Or vice versa. “Damn it.” Jen stood up off the bed and began pacing back and forth, biting at her nails as she did so, occasionally pausing to look at the window down on the street, hoping to see a pony coming up to her door or something, anything to keep her mind off the man in the shower.

She decided that to take her mind off of him she’d go to the stove and make herself something to eat, that would do it, at least she hoped it would. She looked over the items they had in their pantry, most of it was canned, but she was used to that back on earth. She grabbed a can of spam and prepared to open it, only to pause and put it back. Cooking wouldn’t help her take her mind off Johnny or the handsome knight in her novel.

“I’m gonna go out for a walk!” She called to Johnny through the bathroom door.

“Alright!” The man replied over the sound of running water, Jen quickly put on her boots and pulled on her jacket before going downstairs. She paused once again to admire just how far along it had come, there were some tables and chairs, made will some skill and sporting an oak finish. The walls had a dark burgundy paint job and the store counter was being converted into a classy looking bar. With a slight sigh she walked past them and out onto the street, closing the door behind her.

The nightlife of New Liberty was far more busy than it was back on earth, Jen had picked up on this over the past couple weeks. There seemed to be more than a few ponies and changelings wandering around, some were chatting, others were sharing a small glass of alcohol or coffee. Jen smiled when she saw that it seemed there wouldn’t be much civil unrest between the two new allies or their citizens.

At least there weren’t any infected to gum up the works. Jen sighed and tucked her hands into her pockets, walking along the streets as she normally did until she found herself back at the destroyed building that she and Dominic had met in weeks ago. She’d always found herself drawn to that spot, particularly the hole in the roof. She’d sit in the old chairs and think, lay down among the rubble and nap, and basically do what she’d done before she came to Equestria. It was familiar to her, and it made her feel at ease. Ironic, considering that often times she would do the same acts while dodging monsters that wanted to eat her.

Jen decided that tonight she’d lay down amongst the rubble again, just to stare at the old ceiling of the building and contemplate who had built it. She wondered when it had been destroyed, and what had happened to whoever had built it afterwards. She laid on her back and stared up through the collapsed roof, letting out a sigh and closing her eyes in thought. Part of her sensed that there was something different about her little place of solitude, for one, she could hear breathing off in a dark corner.

Slowly she opened her eyes and turned to look towards that corner, to her surprise she saw a figure hanging from the ceiling. As quietly and calmly as she could she stood up, unsure of who or what it was.

“Hey, Jen…” The voice of Chipped Blade said as the figure shifted, the leathery wings folded back and the thestral landed on his hooves with expert ease. Jen was a little surprised, but calmed down. She knew Chipped was a bit eccentric, and for that reason she didn’t freak out that he hadn’t said anything. “Sorry to scare you like that, I was actually taking a nap.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, I was going to take a nap myself… Sorry I woke you.” Jen replied as she sat back down on the floor cross legged and looking at the stallion that sat in the corner. “You alright?”

“Yeah… Yeah… Just, kinda thinking about that mission Rolling’s going on tomorrow.” The thestral replied with a sigh, he gradually inched out of the dark and sat down in front of Jen. He looked like he was upset, and it took all of Jen’s will power not to hug and cuddle him like some sort of stuffed animal. “He’s really the only one that likes me around here…”

“That’s not true.” Jen replied, Chipped nodded quickly.

“Yeah, it is. The other guys are scared of me, that or they think I’m some sort of freak.” Chipped said with a bit of a scowl. “So, when Rolling goes on missions, I’m kinda on my own.” Jen scooted over to him and put an arm over his shoulder, causing him to look at her with a bit of surprise.

“Well, don’t worry, because I like you.” She said with a smile, pausing to hold up a finger. “Not in a like like way, but, you know what I mean.” Chipped chuckled a bit, then nodded slowly. “You kind of remind me of one of my old friends from earth, he was more like a little brother than a friend really.”

“Oh really?” Chipped asked after Jen removed her arm from around his shoulder, the woman nodded and leaned back against a pile of destroyed wood.

“Yeah, his name was Smalls. Kind of a dork, but he had a good heart…” Jen trailed off as the smile ran away from her face. “Don’t know what happened to him though… I like to think he’s okay.”

“Your world was pretty screwy from what I heard, a lot worse than things here…” Chipped said, Jen nodded again.

“A lot of people died in a small amount of time, the folks that survived, like me and the other people here, had to go through some serious shit to make it here.” Jen sighed quietly as she looked back through the collapsed hole in the roof. Chipped nodded quietly and looked at the floor, unsure of what to say. “You don’t have to worry about walking on eggshells around me, I’m a big girl, I can handle myself.”

“Is that why you come to this building?” Chipped asked, Jen paused before she slowly began to nod. “It’s why I nap here too…” Jen ruffled the stallion’s mane and looked down at the floor with another sigh.

“Well, I don’t mind sharing.” She smiled briefly and stood up from the floor, Chipped returned the smile faintly. “Stick we me, kid, it’s nice to have someone on your six.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Chipped replied, Jen began walking towards the door.

“I’d stay a bit more, but it’s about time I got home and messed with my boyfriend some more. I’ll talk to you later, Chipped.” She said over her shoulder, Chipped smiled and nodded as he watched her go. With a sigh flapped his wings and went back to his normal roost.

Luna sighed quietly as she looked over the box she’d received earlier that day, the light of the hotel room wasn’t the best, but then again, it wasn’t necessarily a five star suite like she was used to. She was seated in front of a table with the box set on top of it, slowly she unwrapped the package and tossed the paper aside. Beneath the paper was a fine cherry red wood box, in fact, it was Red Wood Wolf wood. The same Red Wood Wolf that Dominic had killed many months ago, most of it had been burned, but some had survived.

Luna wasn’t really concerned about the wood box as much as she was concerned about what was inside, with a flash of magic she undid the brass latches and pushed the box open to look upon the contents. The princess let out a gasp as she saw it, it was perfect, just as she’d hoped it would look. Momentarily she began to reach into the box, but the sound of the door to the room opening forced her to quickly close the lid.

“You would not believe the letters I’ve been receiving…” Celestia said with a groan as she trotted in and collapsed on one of the two beds. “‘Are the humans summoning star demons to invade us?’, ‘Is it a sign of the apocalypse?’” The Princess laid her head on the pillow and looked over at her sister. “Have I really let my subjects become so paranoid that at the first sign of change they panic and hunker down in a bunker?”

“Perhaps.” Luna replied honestly as she ran a hoof over the polished wood of the box. “Again, we apologize about that, but in the heat of the moment we forgot-”

“You don’t have anything to apologize for.” Celestia cut her off as she rolled onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. “We agreed the night sky was your domain, it’s my ponies that need to learn to grow a pair and stop complaining… Pardon my Humanism.”

“Still, we should have thought it would add more fuel to the controversy over the humans. Our subjects were already riled up by the attack executed by Jen against our forces.” Luna turned in her chair and looked at her sister with a bit of a sympathetic expression. “We both need to work on our communication skills, Tia. Hopefully some of the technology gained from Dominic’s mission will help in that regard.”

“Hopefully…” Celestia replied, she caught sight of the box on the table and raised an eyebrow. “What’s that?” Luna looked between her sister and the box, then sighed quietly.

“A gift we had commissioned for Dominic some time ago, it was only just finished.” Luna said as she levitated the box and set it on the bed for Celestia to see. The solar princess examined it for a few moments before spotting an emblem that had been engraved on top of the box, the emblem had gold leaf shining in it. The emblem depicted a pair of crossed swords, the family crest of one of the oldest blacksmith families in Equestria. Curiously Celestia opened the box, her eyes widened as she saw what was inside before she closed it.

“Luna… You haven’t permitted something like this since before your banishment.” The solar princess said with a bit of shock, Luna nodded and turned to look out the window at the Capitol building in the distance. “I won’t stop you, sister… But, are you sure he will accept such an item?”

“Yes…” Luna said firmly, she turned back to face her sister with a look of resolve upon her face, it was a resolve that Celestia rarely saw in her younger sister. “He has the heart of a warrior with a fair and just soul. We are certain of our choice. Even if it should be that his heart is not ours…” Celestia watched her sister a for a few moments, looking for any sort of change in her face, but there was none. Luna floated the box back to her and latched it shut, taking a moment to close her eyes as she set the item back on the table.

“I hope things turn out well between the two of you, Lulu… I’ve never seen you this happy in a long time and I want it to stay that way.” Celestia’s tone was a bit more positive than Luna had expected, maybe her sister was starting to lighten up a bit, the lunar princess couldn’t quite pinpoint it yet.

“We should get some sleep, Tia… We have a big day tomorrow.” Luna suggested as she stood up from her seat and trotted towards her own bed. Celestia nodded and laid back on her bed as one normally would. “Good night, sister.”

“Good night.” Celestia replied as she leaned over and turned off the light. The moonlight was all that shone through the window, and it cast a bit of an eerie glow across everything it touched. The two princesses twisted and turned for a couple moments before both of them seemed to sigh at once.

Luna closed her eyes and began to hum the song she’d heard from Dominic’s music player, the soft tones echoing through the room. Celestia had to admit they had a haunting beauty to them, and she soon found herself drifting off to sleep. In Luna’s mind she could see the dream realm was a tad busy, but nothing she couldn’t handle. Still humming that song she would go from dream to dream, beating back the nightmares as she usually did. Occasionally she would summon a dream image to aid her, and that night she only had one in mind. Dominic. Images of him would appear and help to slay a nightmarish beast or to calm a restless mind. Luna normally wouldn’t have done such a thing, but she couldn’t get the man out of her head. Needless to say, her night of protecting Equestria’s dreams was a lot easier than it usually was, and she felt a lot better while doing it.

It was as close to the perfect ending of a day she could get, her and Dominic side by side.

Author's Notes:

And here's another one for you folks, because I like you so darn much. Two chapters from now will be the first Clop chapter, this is just an advanced warning before the other advanced warning before the warning in the actual chapter. Note: It isn't between Dominic and Luna, so if that's what you were waiting for, sorry.

Anyway, that's all the news out of this office. And now, your clip of the day!
