I stood on the top of Canterlot Mountain waiting for Luna to arrive. As I looked around I took in the beauty of the country in the moonlight and the night sky. There seemed to be waves of colour slowly moving through the sky, making me remember the time I went to see the northern lights. Just then I heard the beating of wings behind me. I turned around to see Luna hovering a few meters away, deciding not to act hostile I greeted her.

"Hello Luna, how have you been?" Obviously surprised by my friendly tone she took a second to respond.

"I've been fine, thank you Metal."

"Well, shall we?" I started my engine and floated off my perch. She nodded and we began slowly flying over the clouds, me flying backwards with my arms crossed and looking up at the flying colours above. After about ten minutes of flying silently I decided to have some fun for a change.

I began dipping in and out of the clouds below us, sending a small trail behind me. Luna looked at me and smiled, joining in. I cut off my engine and began free falling towards the ground, before I hit the moonlit fields below I flew up back to Luna who copied my actions. We stopped playing and began flying in silence again. As we flew I suddenly felt it was a good opportunity to finally sing my favourite song in a fitting situation.

(Music)

Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here

Luna looked at me surprised as I began.

Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe

I began to fly faster and so did she.

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
you take to the sky

We began circling each other as she joined in.

On the hills of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere

Purple burst of paper birds
This picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)

We slowed our pace as we slowly floated up wards, floating closer to each other as we circled the other.

There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
So touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground

I held her hoof and we began singing together.

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
you take to the sky
you take to the sky

We slowly approached each other and held the others shoulders.

you take to the sky

I brought her close and kissed her on the lips. Her eyes widened before slowly closing, a huge blush adorning her face as she pushed into this kiss. We remained that way for a minute before breaking apart.

"I still don't know how you do that with a mouth." I chuckled at I placed my forehead to hers and stared into her eyes.

"I do have one, it's just invisible." I placed a hand to her cheek to wipe a tear from her eye. "Hey, why are you crying?" She broke down into tears of joy and hugged me tightly. "Thank Solaris I don't have lungs..." I returned her hug and stroked her flowing mane. "Don't think this means I only chose you." She pulled away and looked at me confused. "Halfway through our little song there I came up with a solution to our problems."

"You did?" She asked with obvious disbelief in her voice. "I've already crossed out a herd, we'd never able to share you."

"Ah but that's where I found our solution. You are only awake at night right?" She nodded. "Rainbow is only awake during the day." A look of realisation made its way to her face. "I am always awake."

"Miss Dash gets you during the day, I get you at night?"

"Exactly!" She smiled and nodded. "You're ok with this?"

"Of course, herds are common in Equestrian culture and it is fair for all three of us. If Miss Dash agrees to this I will too." I hugged her and we began making our way to the castle, hand in hoof. "I'm surprised no one else thought of that."

"So am I, a lot of things slip past you ponies. Like the way you are named like your talents." She raised a brow at me. "Don't make me bring up Murder Mc'Killingspree!"

"I still don't get it, who murdered his neighbours?"

"AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!"

Meanwhile a shadowy figure watched them from afar.

"Excellent, a perfect candidate for my new vessel!" Behind him sat a mobian in the shadows. "You know what to do...Mephiles!"

The figure nodded and vanished.

Yep...getting into some Sonic 06 territory...

Also, I for one found this little musical number fitting.
