"So...you adore me?" The way she looked at me when she asked that question, I couldn't say anything else but this.

"Of course I do, who wouldn't adore you, I mean, look at you." Her blush was now a full crimson red. She looked away slightly before looking back at me with a sweet smile.

"Do you really mean that?" I placed my claw on her shoulder and knelt down and put a claw to my chest.

"I do, I mean it with all of my mechanical heart." She brought me into a big hug, I guess that the ponies here still haven't fully accepted her yet, even after Luna Eclipsed, that was one town, not everywhere else. Many still look at her and see Nightmare Moon, but very few see what is actually there, a beautiful mare with feelings, thoughts and dreams. If more ponies saw this side of her, I'm sure that they'd accept her.

Lunas eyes shot open and she pulled away from the hug, recomposing herself. "Thank you Metal, for your kind words, they mean a lot to me." I placed a claw on her cheek and looked into her eyes. At this point I got a good look at her. Her body was slimmer that Celestias and her hair was much more extravagant, showing twinkling stars as it flowed in the magical wind. Her eyes were like sapphires, cutting deep into my soul. I stopped looking her over to find she was starting to scoot closer to me.

I looked to the right to find an extraordinary view of Ponyville and the fields and forests surrounding it, it all looked like a piece of art in the light of the sunset. "I think it's time for you to raise the moon." She nodded and waited for the sun to lower beyond the horizon. She closed her eyes and her horn glowed, she floated upwards and the moon came into view from behind her. She struck a pose in the moonlight that would have made my mouth drop, marvelling in her beauty as the moonlight shined on her. "Woah..."

She descended and looked up at me, I was too busy admiring the beautiful work of art that these ponies feared. The clearest night on Earth couldn't even come close to this level of artistic brilliance. "This is so beautiful." I walked over to the balcony and leaned on the rails. "How can anyone even want to sleep through this?" Luna walked to my side and slowly started moving closer, then her body made contact with mine, I paid little attention to it until she rested her head on my shoulder.

Her blush still hadn't left her face. I could tell she was becoming unsure of what she was doing, so to ease her mind, I wrapped on arm around her neck and held her close. She started nuzzling my shoulder which I found to be absolutely adorable. "Metal?"

"Yes?"

"Do you like video games?"

*mental Squee*

Celestia returned to her chambers and locked her door. She walked over to a table at the far side of the room and places the chaos emerald down and examined it. She could feel powerful energy coming from within the gem, similar to the energy inside the elements of harmony. "Metal Sonic was right, in the wrong hooves the results would be cataclysmic." She placed the emerald in a chest and locked it with a spell. "If what he said is true, he should have six more of them, when separated they can't do very much other than be a power source. I might just have to keep this from him until I can trust him fully."

Meanwhile

After many long hours of playing various games with Luna, we were curled up in a snuggle pile with a few of the castle staff, including maids, guards, bat ponies and a little chef, you heard me, they actually have a midget pony chef here, it was both terrifying and adorable. I don't know how this cuddle pile started, but here I was, in the middle of a pile of snoozing ponies.

You know, this isn't so bad. Nothing's gone wrong yet and I probably have Luna as a marefriend in the making, I'm living every bronys dream. There is one downside though...actually, I never checked hold on...huh...it's still there, that's unexpected. Well, now there's no downsides.

Oh how wrong I was. No matter what I do there is always something that goes wrong in a displaced...every...single...time!

While Luna slept through the day I made my way to the gardens, I might as well do something productive while she's sleeping. I decided to check on the emeralds and made my way to a clearing. There I took out the six emeralds and the master emerald, something seemed off. I saw something moving inside of the master emerald, didn't take a genius to figure out who was messing about in there.

"Great, now I've got to deal with Chaos." I put the emeralds back but kept the master out. "It's ok, as long as I can keep the emeralds away from him, I can take him, then I just need to put the master emerald back together, simple." I needed to find some place where I could keep the master emerald, I couldn't keep it around the normal ones. "Gotta tell Celestia, get this thing to a shrine of some sort." I shrank it down and kept it in my claw, then I started running towards the throne room.

I couldn't take any chances with this, I can't risk Perfect Chaos being unleashed on this world. "This is not gonna end well."
