“YOU DID WHAT!?”

Luna stared at me across the dream realm and I nodded hesitantly, “It was the only way I could get him to help.”

She slowly let her breath out and moved up to look at me, “We should have turned him to stone when We had the chance. Again.”

She looked furious. Seriously furious. The dream realm seemed to darken around her and her mane moved less like it was in a breeze and more like it was a storm cloud.

I flicked my ears, “...Sorry.”

Luna lowered her head to nuzzle softly before she spoke up again, “How bad?”

Frowning, I shook my head before nuzzling back, “I have no urges to go snacking on pony necks if that’s what you mean,” I told her, “So, that’s good at least. Not sure if he would ever had done that, Fluttershy would have been so mad at him if he did.”

Luna looked thoughtful for a moment, “...I wonder…”

“Huh?”

“Is Discord trying to… play matchmaker?”

“If he is, he needs some practice,” I said dryly and shifted my wings, “And some subtlety classes.”

Not that Fluttershy wasn’t attractive. She had been a model for a very good reason after all but she just wasn’t my type.

Even if she was good looking.

Luna sighed and nuzzled softly as she sat down, slipping her wing around me, “My Page… are you okay?”

“...I don’t know,” I admitted after a moment as I laid down. Luna moved to settle down next to me, slipping her wing across my back before I continued as I leaned softly against her, “Like I said to Sunny, this is like the fourth least strange thing I have been turned into. But… I don’t know. It still feels… strange.”

“We will make him undo it.”

I shook my head, “If you do, he’ll return Tempest Shadow’s horn to it’s broken state too. I promised her I would do what I can to find a way to help her.”

“Page, this can’t possibly be what you meant.”

“...No,” I admitted and nuzzled at her neck, “But I promised. She has her horn now and… I couldn’t do that to her. Taking it away again would be so cruel.”

Luna sighed softly against my ear, “Page…”

“...Besides,” I said softly, “She’s going to live… what, half a century, a century at most? I’m an Alicorn. I can wait. This is not that bad.”

“Fifty years is a decently long time even for an alicorn,” Luna said gently, “I promise you that in fifty years you will be so used to it that going back would be even stranger.”

“I guess you’re right,” I admitted and sighed, “How will ponies react?”

If they knew as much about batponies as Sunny had, this would go over about as well as a cast iron airship.

Luna nuzzled, “Are we going to reveal it?”

“The alternative would be hiding beneath illusions again,” I said and nuzzled back, “That didn’t go that well last time and was really tedious.”

“Might be easier this time,” Luna suggested with a small thoughtful frown, “Thestrals have a natural talent for illusions.”

“...Maybe,” I admitted, “I may have to learn how to do that. I’ll hide beneath normal illusions until we figure out what to do. I may have to visit Fluttershy and see if she can teach me.”

Luna was quiet for a long moment, holding me close with her wing, “So…”

“So?”

“So how does it feel?” she asked after a moment.

I shifted my wings beneath her and flicked my ears, feeling my fangs a bit with my tongue, “...A bit odd,” I admitted, “But a lot less strange than when I woke up as a pony. Or when I gained another set of limbs with my wings. Or even when Discord turned me into a mare for a bit.”

“Really?”

I nodded, “Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really strange with the wings. They aren’t less sensitive to air or anything than pegasus wings, but they are… quiet. They make a lot less noise when I flap them,” before I sighed and looked to her, “...And I found out that I need to learn how to fly again. As it turns out, feathered wings are a lot different from bat wings in how they work, even if it is mostly magic… and to be completely honest, while the fangs feel a bit odd, I miss having them even if they are way larger than when I was human.”

Luna slowly nodded and gave me a small soft kiss, “I suppose that’s another thing you need to discuss with Lady Fluttershy.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, “I’ll head to Ponyville as soon as you and Sunshine get back,” I said before I smirked as an idea crossed my mind, “Oh, don’t tell her. I want to see how long it'll take before she notices.”

That got a small giggle from her.
