I wandered back to the hotel room I was sharing with Fluttershy, Spike, Twilight, Starlight, and Summer. It was a couple of hours after my bout with a certain belligerent moon princess and I had wanted to take advantage of the gym facilities while I was in Canterlot. Ponyville did have a gym, but a gym in Canterlot is obviously going to be better equipped.

“Welcome back,” Starlight greeted as I entered the room.

“I’m so sorry about Luna,” Twilight apologized sheepishly as I flopped down on one of the beds.

“I will gather an army of mice to invade the Moon,” I grumbled as I stared up at the ceiling.

“Mice don’t even particularly like cheese though,” Starlight pointed out in that way that made me wonder if she herself had once had a serious plot to have mice devour the Moon. I sat up.

“Starlight, sometimes I worry about you,” I told her.

“Why do people keep saying that to me?” Starlight sounded genuinely confused.

“We’re all just concerned about your wellbeing is all,” Spike replied smoothly.

“Well…thanks?” Starlight said.

“Ranma, was that your first face to face meeting with Luna?” Fluttershy asked abruptly.

“It was, why?” I responded.

“Oh, no reason,” Fluttershy said with a detectable note of amusement in her voice.

“Care to share what’s so amusing?” I asked with an arched eyebrow aimed at the Pegasus. To my surprise, Fluttershy giggled. Looking around, I wasn’t the only one surprised by the normally demure Fluttershy looking like the cat that caught the canary.

“Fluttershy, are you feeling alright?” Starlight asked worriedly.

“I’m fine, I just think it’s cute,” Fluttershy giggled again. For most of us, we were baffled, but something clicked for the ever quick witted Twilight.

“Fluttershy, you can’t think she really..?” Twilight trailed off.

“She already snuck into Ranma’s spar, didn’t she?” Fluttershy pointed out. Twilight’s face scrunched up as she contemplated Fluttershy’s words.

“Anyone care to enlighten me?” I asked.

“Sounds like some weird pony custom,” Summer shrugged.

“I have no idea,” Spike shook his head.

“If it’s a weird pony custom it’s probably a Pegasus one, because I’m clueless too,” Starlight admitted. We turned to Fluttershy, who seemed content to let us labor in ignorance and Twilight was too deep in thought. I stood up.

“Right, well, while we wait for Twilight.exe to process I’m going to take a shower,” I announced and headed to the attached bathroom. I cleaned myself off of the day’s grime in relatively short order and emerged from the bathroom to see the whole room smirking at me.

“None of you are going to tell me now, are you?” I asked and their continued silence affirmed my fears, “I hate all of you,” I declared petulantly.

“Ranma, we all agreed that it’d be best if Luna told you in her own time,” Fluttershy soothed.

“Told me what?!” I grumbled.

“Knowing Luna, you’ll find out soon enough,” Twilight said confidently.

“Full disclosure, I’m either going to stew on this for weeks or completely forget it happened tomorrow,” I confessed.

“Can’t help you there,” Summer quipped and I let out a long sigh and I flopped back down onto my bed. I then slipped under the covers.

“I’m gonna hope I forget. So goodnight,” I said.

“Good night, Ranma,” They said and soon thereafter sleep claimed me.

Now, I know what you're all thinking, so let me explain:

Starlight wanted to sent mice to eat the moon to free Nightmare Moon so Nightmare Moon could beat Celestia so Starlight could install her Cutie Markless paradise.
