I followed Luna out into a really big yard. There was a huge ring in the middle of it, and there were tons of weapons all neatly arranged in little racks along the outside of the yard area.

"Please wait just outside this area, we need to make a few last preparations before knighting you." Luna ordered. I nodded and walked back down the hall we had just come from. I stood around and waited for a while, when Fluttershy appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh! H-hi Sharky..." She muttered.

"Hi Fluttershy!" I grinned at her. It always made me happy to see her. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh... I was looking... for you..." She muttered.

"Why were you looking for me?"

"Oh... Twilight told us you fell out of a wall... none of us had seen you since then... I was worried." She murmered sadly. I kneeled down next to her.

"Oh, I'm sorry for worrying you guys!" I reached out and pulled her into a hug. "I need to stop making you girls worry about me..." I sighed. She wrapped her forehooves around me. Then she started talking, but she still sounded really sad.

"So... I heard that you... asked Twilight.... to help you raise Unity... does this mea--"

"Yes! I did ask her that!" I interrupted. "Which reminds me, I'd like you to help me raise him too." I said simply.

"REALLY?!?" Fluttershy squealed in excitement and gripped me tighter. Geez, I hadn't thought these girls would be so happy to help.

"Really, Twilight may have the magic to help keep him under control, but your kindness is exactly what he needs." I explained. "So, as Twilight put it, you'll kinda be like his mom!"

"Yay!" (She said it! SQUEEEEEE it will never get old.)

"Wow, I can't believe you girls are so happy about this!" I exclaimed.

"Why wouldn't we be? This is simply wonderful!" She gushed. Then she got really quiet again. "Oh... I don't know how you're gonna explain this to Twilight...." She mumbled. She sounded... scared?

"Why would that be a problem?" I asked. She pulled away from the hug and looked me in the eyes.

"Y-you really don't know what that meant to her... do you?" She asked. I frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing..." She sighed. Then she remembered something. "Hey Sharky?"

"Yes?"

"Do you remember your promise?"

"Hmm? To take good care of Fang? Yeah, I try to keep him out of danger, but he doesn't listen..." I sighed. "Just like you girls actually."

"I... I don't think I even made you promise that..." She answered.

"You didn't? Hmm... I must have imagined it..."

"I-I w-was talking about your... other p-promise." She was starting to sound really nervous.

"What other promise?"

"T-t-the p-promise f-f-f-from N-new Year's...." She was stuttering so hard it took me a few seconds to make out what she had said. I started laughing.

"HA HA HA HA HA! I can't believe you even remembered that! Don't worry Fluttershy, I know you were drunk off your flank. You don't need to worry about what you said." I consoled her. She must be regretting her drunk words.

"N-no S-sharky, t-tha--"

"Sharky White! Please procced to the Sparring Yard for your knighting!" I looked up to see a lunar guard standing down the hall.

"OK sir! I'll be right there!" I shouted at him. He nodded and trotted out into the yard. I looked back down to Fluttershy. "Hold that thought, I gotta go." I stood up and placed her on the ground. Then I dashed towards the yard.

"--t's... not what I meant..." Fluttershy finished. She sighed.

Someday he won't have time to run off somewhere... She thought to herself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stepped out into the yard, which had changed drastically since I had last come here. Now there were two HUGE lines of lunar guards lined up all the way to the back of the field. Each of them was in full armor and they each had a lance. At the back of the field, sitting in a throne as black as night, was Luna. She was dressed in Nightmare Moon's ceremonial armor, but she didn't look menacing at all. She waved me forward with her right foreleg.

"Sharky White, come forward." She commanded. I did as I was told, and started walking towards Luna. As I approached the first pair of guards, they raised their lances to form an arch that was just tall enough for me to walk under. Each pair of guards repeated the process as I approached them. It made me feel like I was in a wave. The movements were perfectly synchronized, it obviously took a lot of practice to get this right. I was touched that Luna had gone all this way for me, but then I realized she problably did this for every new knight. I kept walking throught the sea of rising lances until I finally made it to the end of the yard where Luna awaited me. I exited the lance tunnel, and behind me every lance snapped back to the ground with a resounding thud.

"Cool..." I breathed. Luna spoke to me again.

"Approach me and kneel, Sharky." She commanded. I walked forward and bent down onto one knee. I looked up at the princess the whole time. "We shall now have thee make the sacred pledges." She started. "Doth thou swear to protect the citizens of Equestria with thine life?" She asked.

"I do." I answered.

I made that promise to myself awhile ago actually. I thought to myself. As I said 'I do', A dark blue aura wrapped itself around me. It stayed for a few seconds, then dispersed.

"Doth thou swear to stand by your princess, even in the most dire of times?"

"I do." The aura wrapped itself around me again. More powerful this time. It dispersed again though.

"Doth thou swear to always conduct thyself with honor?"

"I do." The aura came for a third time, to dark to even see through. It dispersed nontheless.

"And finally, thou must swear to abide by the commands of your princess." She finished.

"I do." I answered. This time the air rushed around me, and an aura black as tar wrapped itself around me, lifting me clear off the ground. I was held there for a while, not even daring to breath. I hit the ground after a few moments, and I gasped for air. Luna didn't seem effected by my reaction.

"Then we doth declare you... Night Knight White!" She declared. I had to stifle a laugh. She bent her head down and tapped both my shoulders with her horn. Then the guards started chanting.

"Knight White! Ho haha!" They shouted. I froze for a second.

Now where did I hear that before? I questioned to myself.

"Welcome brother White!" Luna continued.

"Knight White! Ho haha!" The guards repeated.

Yeah, I've definately heard that somewhere before I thought.

"Guards, thou may take thine leave now!" Luna shouted. I stood to leave, but Luna caught my shoulder with her hoof. "We did not say 'knights' Sharky. We wish to speak with thou."

"Uh... ok Luna..." I wanted to get back to my friends so we could go back home, but the princess comes first I guess.

"Follow me." She ordered. I did as commanded and when she started trotting off, I followed her. We walked down another impossible number of halls and rooms, until eventually we reached her bedchambers.

"Ummm.... Luna?" I asked hesitantly.

"We don't normally do this, but we wish to make amends for our earlier treatment of you." She responded.

"Ok." Luna pushed open her doors.

"Come with us!" She said happily. I was feeling really hesitant about whatever was going to happen, but my body followed after her without my command.

"Yes Luna." Luna ignored me. She continued talking. We stepped onto the moon.

"Now, we understand thou hath been wanting this for awhile now..." She started trotting towards her bed.

"Wanting what Luna?" I asked suspiciously.

"Don't jest with us..." She giggled. She made it to her bed and jumped on. "Now come here..." She commanded. All sorts of warnings were going off in my head. I've no idea what they meant, and I was trying to figure it out, but my body obeyed her commands. I walked over to her bed. She looked down at me and lowered her eyelids. "Now, it is time for us to give you what you want..." She whispered. I started shaking in fear. Then she pulled a small gift wrapped box from under one of her pillows and hoofed it to me. "SUPRISE!!!" She squealed. "Go on, open it!"

"OH THANK GOD!" I exclaimed. I have no idea what I thought was going to happen, but I'm sure glad whatever it was didn't happen. She gave me a funny look, but I was too busy inspecting the box to care. It was a decent sized box, and it was wrapped in gray paper with a white ribbon around it. I smiled up at her and started attacking the wrapping with gusto. I revealed a brown box with a lid on it. I opened the lid. "OH MY GOSH.... THANK YOU LUNA!!!!" I exclaimed. I pulled the first item out of the box, and it was a pair of royal blue pants! They seemed to be armored. Inside the box there were also 2 more pairs of pants, and some metal boots! Also.... YES! BOXERS!!! Oh, and socks... socks.

"We heard from thine friends that thou needed clothing. We scanned you in the garden today and had a royal tailor fashion armored clothing for you to wear while working for us." She said happily. "Doth thou forgive us for our mistreatment of thou?" She asked tenatively.

"Forgive you!? I did that a long time ago! This is... just amazing Luna! Thank you!!!" I jumped up onto the bed and hugged her. She gave a small gasp of suprise, but then she wrapped a foreleg around me as well.

"It was our pleasure Sharky." We pulled away from each other.

"Geez, I can't tell you how much not having to run around in a cloth means to me..." I said happily. She smiled at me.

"We still have one more thing to give you." She said.

"Oh no Luna, I couldn't accept another gift! This is too much already."

"Well, then don't think of it as a gift. We just need you to have this so we may contact you." She said. She levitated a small hand mirror to me. "This mirror will allow us to contact you for mission assignments." She clearified. "It will change to fit it's bearers needs, so don't be startled." She warned. I nodded and reached up to grab the mirror. As soon as it made contact with my hand, it turned into an iPhone.

"What the?!" I exclaimed. Luna laughed.

"We warned you."

"That you did Luna. So, wierd iPhone aside, where can I get dressed?" I asked. She gave me an odd look.

"Thou needs to leave to dress?" She asked. I blushed.

"Yes! Yes I do! I understand you guys are ok with nudity, but humans aren't!" She nodded in understanding.

"Very well... there is a washroom over there." She pointed at another door randomly sitting on the moon. This is too freaking wierd. I jogged over to the little door and walked in. It looked like every other bathroom I'd encountered so far. Nothing fancy or ornate. I took the oppritunity to relieve myself and got dressed right after that. I put on a pair of boxers, then some pants. The pants fit like a glove, but when I pulled on them they stretched out. I was glad I wouldn't have to worry about ripping these off with a transformation. I put on a pair of socks and pulled on the boots. The boots would need a little breaking in, but the socks were so thick and soft that the boots didn't actually hurt at all. I walked them around a bit, and they were oddly silent for metal boots. I walked back out of the bathroom, finally somewhat clothed. I tied the cloth around my neck, so part of my upper body was covered as well. Just my back though. I popped the wierd iPhone into my pocket.

"Thanks again Luna! These are prefect!" I said happily. "Well, I'm gonna go grab my friends and start heading back to Ponyville."

"Not quite... We've got your first mission already Sharky."
