Luna was still flying across the wide skies of Equestria as her moon was now high in the sky, she smiled at her moon as it glistened and made its rays fall upon the lands in every part of the world. For hours now she patrolled the night while all others slept or even took the time to admire her as she circled around the small kingdom of Ponyville, she felt so happy inside for the respect she was now feeling from ponies in many parts of the world, but what was really making her happy was what had occurred between her and Danny just a couple of hours ago.

After the heartwarming time she had with him, he had come to accept her for who she once was, and still saw her for what she was now, and to top it off, he was completely fine and even wanted Luna to be his new mother, she never thought this night could get any better. The thought of having a son and caring for Danny as his mother was filling her to the brim with excitement as she made one more cycle around the town of Appaloosa, now it was time for her to get back to Canterlot and her soon to be new son.

She took off towards the city at full speed as excitement grew within the princess of the night, her patrol was now done and she could now retire to her room and be with her child once more, she soared through the clear night sky full of stars as she was passing by the Crystal Empire. She looked down and could see the crystal heart just below the palace still glowing bright as she knew of its magic and knew the love the heart shared and protected as she passed by the empire and began crossing over the snowy areas beyond the empire.

"I think Danny will just love visiting the empire, “Luna said to herself as she swiftly made it through the snowy blizzards of the regions.

She was then approaching the town of Ponyville which was now known as a kingdom as well as she could see the rainbow castle and all its magical glory and power of friendship coursing through the tree like veins of the building. She began crossing over the town as she watched many stallions and mares as well as fillies and colt all retiring to their homes for some much deserved rest.

Luna then noticed as she made her way pass the massive rainbow tree castle what appeared to be Twilight Sparkle waving to her from a balcony on top of the castle, she also appeared to be an a sparkling night like night gown as Luna waved to her as well. Luna then went back to full flight speed as she could see her home in the distance resting at the side of the mountain like a child being tucked in by the moon.

The princess quickly approached her home as she was excited about spending yet another night with Danny, she felt warm inside as if the sun was rising within her, and she did not even flinch at the thought of a rising sun. She finally entered the city and gave Canterlot one last viewing to see if everything appeared to be in order, other than a few stragglers and a few colts out after bed, everything looked peaceful to her.

Luna then circled around her castle and looked for an open balcony to land on, she didn't have to look far before her moon light shined upon an open balcony that appeared to be relatively close to her bedroom. It was like a sweet sign from her night as she targeted the balcony and swooped in like a hawk before coming to a soft landing right on the balcony, she let out a small sigh as she was now home and her patrol was over.

She then began to casually yet gracefully walk into the castle and immediately turn off towards her bedroom as she then began to get excited once more at the thought of becoming a mommy for Danny. Her heart was melting, she felt like fainting, but she needed to show some restraint as she walked with ease down the cool and illuminated halls that were glowing with the light of her moon.

She saw her room at the end of a the hall way and hastened her walking as she wanted to get to the room as quickly as she could, she then couldn't help but noticed some freshly stationed guards that were standing at both sides of the room. She gave the guards a gentle and very welcoming smile as she slowed her walk just as she approached the bedroom and looked to the two guards.

"Please fair guards of the night, please enjoy yourselves on this wonderful and calm night, “Luna said softly as she magically opened her door.

"Can do Princess Luna..."One guard said with a calm and quiet tone.

With that the princess of the night entered her bedroom and quietly closing the door so she would not wake her sleeping child, but she was completely unaware of what transpired in this room as she calmly walked to the bed. She came to the side of the bed and looked to the bed as she saw a small lump in the bed thinking it was Danny, she gave a quiet chuckle as she reached a hoof out to brush the lump.

"Danny... I'm back child, you don't need to wake up, but know that I'm here for you again... Son..."Luna said as she brushed a hoof over the lump before noticing something off about it.

She suddenly froze as she noticed that it was not Danny she was touching, but something else altogether, she then magically lifted the covers off the bed and let out a horrified gasp as she revealed that there was nothing there but a few pillows, but no Danny. She threw the pillows aside in a flash before looking around the room in a panic.

"Danny...? Danny...?! Danny where are you?!"Luna called out as she searched around the room.

She quickly lifted up the bed and looked around it before slamming it down again, she looked all around the room but there were no other places that Danny could hide in, now she was greatly worried. Luna quickly then ran to the door in a panic and swung it open almost hitting one of the guards in the process as she jumped out of the room and looked both ways before taking off with the guards right behind her completely confused by her sudden actions.

Luna was racing down the hall ways and looking down each one before journeying to the next, fear had stricken her, her stomach felt sick to her stomach as she saw a bunch of rooms coming up and began looking in each one. She opened and slammed the doors in a fast pace, feeling her fear and panic rising as she could not find the child anywhere, her door slamming was so loud she was starting to wake the entire castle up with her activity.

"Danny! Where are you! DANNY...!"Luna shouted as she came to the last door and still found nothing. “DANNY PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"What in the world is going on here Aunty Luna?! Do you not know what time it is?!"Exclaimed none other than prince Blue blood who emerged from another hall way in his same white and golden robe.

Luna quickly turned to see her nephew and scared every pony as she suddenly grabbed Blue Blood with her magic and slammed him against the wall, she then slammed both her hooves against her nephew's chest and pinned him there while giving him the angriest look she could ever give.

"Where is he Blue Blood...?! What did you do to Danny?! Answer me! “Luna yelled at the confused and terrified stallion.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about! I have not seen him since this morning... Please aunty I swear I don't know anything! “Blue Blood begged while the magic grip on him only got tighter.

"You had best not be lying to me or I swear I will show you a nightmare like no other you poor excuse for a STALLION! “Luna shouted before their conversation was suddenly interrupted.

"Luna...! That' is enough! Release him immediately! “Commanded the voice of Celestia as they turned to see her approaching them from another hall.

"Sister! Danny's gone! I can't find him anywhere! “Luna said in a panic as she then turned to Blue Blood.

"What...?! I swear to you I had no hoof in this child's sudden disappearance what so ever, “Blue Blood defended while Celestia suddenly nodded to him.

"He's telling the truth Luna, Blue Blood had nothing to do with this, perhaps Danny just got hungry or something and got a little lost on his way to the kitchen, “Celestia said before another royal guard suddenly arrived.

"Princesses! Prince! We have found something out in the main hall, we did not bother to take it, but it seems to be a note... To Princess Luna, “The guard said as all three royal figures looked to each other with great concern.

The guard quickly lead the way with the three members of royalty following him down the long hall way, panic was building inside Luna as she was racing faster and even out running the guard. Celestia became worried for her little sister as she attempted to pick up the pace while Blue Blood held back and yawned with disbelief that all of this was happening this late into the night.

They finally made it out to the end of the hall and entered the main hall before noticing a group of guards standing over something and not to mention that the main door leading out of the castle was open. Luna was the first to rush down the stairs with Celestia and Blue Blood right behind her, she jumped off the steps and landed it with the aid of her wings and ran over to the group of guards who quickly dispersed as Luna made her way to the scene.

Luna quickly stopped in the middle of the group and looked down to see that the guards were looking at what appeared to be a note, she raised an eye brow at it just as Celestia and Blue Blood joined Luna at her side. Luna then lifted up the note and brought it to her sight and began reading as shock and complete disbelief over took her as she read.

Dear Luna

I'm sorry about this Luna, I really am, but I have to leave this place, I have learned that if I stay here I will grow to become just like my father and I will start hurting all of you as he had hurt me... I don't want to hurt you or any of the ponies here, so I'm leaving to go be alone... Like future monsters are supposed to, thank you for trying to be my new mom and everything Luna and... I'm sorry that I have to do this, but... I can't ever be around a place that I don't deserve to be around, I'll just be a danger to you all... Good bye Luna... I'll miss you.

Danny...

The minute she was finished reading the note, Luna slowly dropped the not from her magical grip before it was suddenly taken up into Celestia's golden magical grasp and her as well as Blue Blood both began reading the note. Once they were done reading the note, Celestia let out a sigh of grief while Blue Blood just stared solemnly at Luna who was now just standing there in complete devastation.

"Luna... We'll find him, we'll get a search party out looking for him right away..."Celestia said before Luna suddenly swung the big door open and ran outside. “Luna...! Where are you going?!"

"To find my son! “Luna yelled back as she took to the skies.

Just as Celestia was about to follow her sister, she was then given a big surprise as Blue Blood suddenly took off out the door as well, why he was doing this Celestia did not know, but she couldn't help but smile as she knew for a fact, Blue Blood was intending to do something good.

Meanwhile out in the beautiful city of Canterlot, the night was quiet, the stars and the moon light were all gleaming upon the city as it sleep, but right now someone was in no mood or in any position to be admiring the night. In the middle of the streets, young Danny was now making his way through the city in his attempt to get as far away as he could from the ponies he cared for so much that he felt he could no longer be around them.

He walked through the city in the middle of the night, he felt cold from the night chill as it's breeze blew over him, his feet felt cold over the solid and rigid stone of the road ponies traveled on. He felt lost and sad as he walked the streets as the loner he was, he almost felt as if he was back in his world, walking and staring at the ground feeling worthless and disgusted with himself, he felt there was no place for him now as he walked the streets of the city.

He lazily walked to the road as he made his way passed a few shops along the road, they interested him, but he knew that he could not be caught or noticed by anything, it could lead him to being taken back to the place he wished to leave. He ignored the late night and began running through the city not caring how bad the road would scratch him up, he needed to get away, he needed to find a way out of the city, but that's when he found himself in a new situation.

As Danny rounded the corner going as fast as he could, he then suddenly slammed right into something and fell to his rear, he gripped his nose in pain and growled in frustration before looking up to see a sight that he had thought he would never see again. He now saw that he had run into the three colts he had gotten into an ugly ordeal with earlier when they were bullying his new friend Hershey Sprinkle.

He shook his head in fear and quickly raised to his feet while two of the colts helped the third one to his hooves, the three of them then stared at Danny with surprised looks before they turned to wicked smiles. Danny could tell what they were about to do and wasted no time as he took off down another street, the colts were left in the dust for a moment to assess what just happened before they all took off after Danny.

As Danny ran down the street he looked back to see the colts right on his tail, he quickly turned off into another street and jumped over a broken cart in the street in hopes of escaping his enemies, but the colts were able to do the same, except for one colt who accidentally crashed right into the cart and was unable to continue. Seeing the clumsiness of these colts raised Danny's confidence as he continued on with only two colts following him, and he was starting to outrun them as well.

It was then that Danny came out to what looked like the center of the city and noticed a beautiful and well-made sculpture of what appeared to be Luna, he suddenly skidded to a stop right in front of the fountain and stared solemnly at the statue as it hurt him to think about what was possibly going on back at the castle. He felt like he had betrayed Luna, it hurt the boy when he thought about what he was doing, but what the dream showed him back there felt like living proof that he was a danger to them, and he needed to get away from them.

"He stopped for a moment! Get him...!"A sudden voice shouted out.

Danny was then suddenly tackled by one of the colts and was forced into the fountain, they both went in with a big splash, it only took a moment however for Danny and one of the colts to rise from the water and start wrestling. The colt fought for control while Danny carefully held his ground, he then to the colts surprise managed to get under the colt and suddenly pick him up before throwing the colt out of the fountain.

The colt landed on his face hard and dragged it along the ground to the other colts hooves while Danny quickly scurried his way out of the fountain, he was about to run off again, but his clothes were now soaked and the night time air was now chilling him to the bone. The other colt saw Danny freeze and moving slower and saw his opportunity to strike, he ran to Danny as fast as he could and swung his back legs as the colt bucked Danny right in the chest.

The force of the buck re awoke an old pain in Danny's ribs, the boy let out a yelp of pain as he slammed his back against the fountain, he tried to get up but was then pinned against the fountain and was then taking hoof after hoof to the face from the lead colt.

"You're pretty fast for a freak! But we got you now! This is what you get for embarrassing me in front of my friends, and protecting that weak little filly you stupid ignorant LITTLE RUNT! “The colt shouted with each hoof he struck Danny with.

Suddenly as the word little reached his ears, and bruises began forming on Danny's face once more, he suddenly began to have flash backs of his father saying the exact words to him as he pounded away at Danny. Then something awoke in Danny, something made him snap, and made him angry.

Just as the colt was about to hit him once more, Danny began growling in blind fury and suddenly grabbed the colt by his hoof, he then looked the colt right in the eye with the most furious look he could then began suddenly forced the colt's hoof away from his face and the surprised the colt with a sudden punch to the jaw with his free hand. The punch was then followed up by a vicious kicked to the colts’ chest which led to the colt falling to his back, but Danny had now lost control, he was not done yet.

Danny quickly ran to the down colt and got on top of him, he made sure the colt was pinned down by his weight and then began to unleash a flurry of vicious punches across the colts face. Danny growled and yelled while the colt was crying for mercy, but Danny had now lost his temper and could not stop swinging, he could hear the cracking sounds of his fist strike the colt hard as if a baseball bat was striking a baseball. Danny now wanted to stop, but he felt as if his anger and his body had now taken over as he finally knocked the colt unconscious.

The second colt had just gotten up from face planting on the hard ground and was greeted by the shocking sight of his friend getting beaten unconscious, the other colt raised a hoof in surrender as he watched Danny rise from the defeated colt. Danny then suddenly began to calm down from his anger and looked upon the colt with shock and horror as he saw all the injuries he had delivered to the colt. He then slowly looked to his hands and saw how red his knuckles now were and began to panic in the back of his head and looked to the other colt with fear.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt him... I...just got angry, please... Just tell me how to get out of this city and I will leave you all alone forever, “Danny bartered as he looked sadly at the frightened colt.

"J-just... Followed that road down there to your left and you'll be at the main gate, you look like you could squeeze right by the bars of the gate, please just... Don't hurt me, “The colt begged while Danny's heart broke.

"I won't...! I won't hurt anyone else ever! Good bye...!"Danny yelled as he quickly took off down the road he was pointed to now wanting to leave more than ever.
