Chapter 17

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

For the next few minutes, Midnight and Luna had been talking about the console and what the alien had stated in regards to visiting this universe. Luna on the other hoof was still quite sore with the dark Alicorn about crushing her beloved game, but let it slide as she had around thirty more consoles hidden away within the royal vault. The only thing she would be sore about now was about getting her gamer score back to its previous number.

The two Alicorns, after some discussion, had resolved to speak of the alien incident the following day. Midnight would have to make up having crushed the console to Luna in time. For now though, he would still be doing what she asked of him. Currently they were in Luna's quarters playing dress up again. This time however, Luna had brought a few of the maids that have been the butt of a few jokes and pranks from Midnight. They were all giggling and having a wonderful time, except of course Midnight, who was now having make-up being put on his face to turn him into a pretty princess.

"You all know that you are soooooo going to regret this." He groaned as one of the maids was putting some lipstick on him.

"Now now Midnight, you owe these poor dears at least a little bit from those pranks you've pulled on them." Luna tutted causing them to all nod in agreement. "And as an order, you are to never get back at them for doing what they are doing to you at this moment." She giggled seeing them beam before an evil grin spread across their faces.

"Luna, so help me if they do something to embarrass me in public, I am going to make you pay for their transgressions." He snorted toward her sending out a small flame.

"And you are not to get back at me either, this is your gift to me and you............" She stopped as Midnight carried on.

"I know, I know, and I am regretting giving you this present. Had I known you were going to cause me so much grief, then I would never have done this." He sighed while looking away for a moment. After a second though he heard a sniffle and turned to look at Luna whose eyes were now on the verge of releasing a barrage of tears.

"Nooooo nonono, please don't cry." He stated in a somewhat comforting voice. The maids now glaring at him as he shuffled closer to the night princess.

Luna huffed a couple times as tears began to slowly stream down her cheeks. Midnight pressing his hooves to his cheeks as he watched her. "Pleeeeeeeeaaaase don't cry. I'm sorry."

The night princess paused for a moment, taking in a soft shuddering breath as she continued to pout a lip toward Midnight who was now looking worried while sitting in front of her. She gave a soft smile causing him to give a sigh of relief as his body visibly relaxed.

"I know you're sorry Night." She smiled seeing him smile back. "But you're about to be far more sorry." She gave a sinister grin causing his pupils go to pinpoints. "Ladies, you know what to do." She giggled as they all wrapped hooves around the dark Alicorn who only screamed as he was pulled backwards, away from Luna.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!" His cries were muffled by the giggles of the maids who all began to do various things to him.

After roughly ten minutes, the maids released Midnight who was now seething with annoyance as he looked himself over. He was now dressed in what looked to be a show pony outfit that made him look like a really screwed up peacock. His annoyance turned to a glare toward the princess of the night who was at that moment, holding a hoof over her mouth to stifle a giggle. Midnight gave a huff as he proceeded to trot around the room per Luna's request before coming to a stop in front of everypony, at which point they all busted out laughing.

'They are soooooo going to regret this.' Midnight thought to himself as he awaited Luna's command.

"Alright Midnight, you can remove the clothing and makeup." Luna tittered. At which Midnight quickly teleported out of said garments and makeup, letting them fall to the floor in a heap.

The maids quickly gathered up the items, cleaning the makeup from the floor as well, before placing the clothing back into a small closet within Luna's chambers. Luna smiled seeing Midnight so annoyed, but paused for a moment as she began to think of something new for the Alicorn to do.

"I know that look Luna, what are you scheming?" Midnight stated quickly as his eyes narrowed accusingly.

"I was just thinking." She began as she trotted toward the balcony door, exiting the room and stepping out before taking in a deep breath. "I haven't been out of the castle to really have any fun as of late." She sighed. "Actually, for the past five years. Ever since.........." She trailed off as she looked back to the now advancing stallion as he came up to her side.

"So you've been in a slump ever since I became a garden centerpiece?" He asked with a cocked brow.

"Well............. You were always around the castle, and we got to hang out a lot..........." She paused for a moment looking up the Midnight. "Having you around kept things interesting. You may be marrying my sister, but I am the one who always got to do things with you due to Tia's hectic schedule. She leaves me to raise the moon at night, along with Night court at times, but when you were around, I found those tasks far less tedious than before."

"I............ didn't know you felt so much toward me, I honestly don't know what to say." He chuckled slightly.

There was an uncomfortable silence as the two continued starring off into the sky. Their eyes tracing the cloud line in the distance for a few minutes until Luna gave a girlish giggle.

"I know, ho about we go to a club?" She smiled causing Midnight to give her a questionable stare.

"A club? During mid day?" He asked as he looked up to see the sun at its zenith in the sky above.

"You forget that there are two sides to this planet Night." She smirked.

"So you want to travel to the other side of the planet, just to go to a club. Were you planning on dressing up?" He chuckled only to get an eye roll in return.

"I usually use transformation magic before going out into the public, It helps to keep to many individuals from knowing who I really am." She smirked as her horn lit up, making her body shrink down to a normal size unicorn, along with making her wings vanish. She was now a unicorn around the same height as Twilight, her coat was still a brilliant dark blue but her mane had turned to a solid black with a white streak going through it. Her cutie mark had changed into a plain crescent moon without the black background.

"Now then." She smiled as she jumped into the air outside of the balcony, seemingly floating in mid air.

"Ah, made your wings invisible. Nice touch." Midnight chuckled as his horn lit up, causing his frame to shrink to the same size as Big Macintosh's. His coat turning into an electric blue while his mane and tail turned into a flaming red. He smiled up to Luna who watched his horn vanish from his head before he spread his wings and took flight next to her.

"You got a name to match that guise doll?" He asked giving a wink.

"Lunar Shadow." She stated with a smile.

"Not very original are we?" He groaned while face hoofing.

"Really? And what would be your name for this form?" She asked as she crossed her forelegs.

"Blazing Sky." He chuckled giving a smirk.

"Yes, just as I thought." She groaned.

"What?"

"You pick such show pony names as if you are trying to get attention." She sighed.

"And you pick silly names that say 'Don't look at me, I'm nothing special'." He snapped back.

"So!? At least I try to have fun in a club without drawing attention to myself!" She growled toward him.

"Admit it, you don't know how to have fun, so you just sit on the sidelines and watch idly as the world goes by without you." He smirked back only to see her getting redder in the face.

"I DO TO KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN!" She shouted, causing Midnight to flip over a couple of times before regaining his altitude and flying back up to her.

"Prove it then, once we get to the club, I bet that you won't know how to have fun." He chuckled as he watched her seethe with anger.

"Fine, and if I win, your punishments will be doubled from this moment forward." She smirked.

"And if I win, you have to be my slave for a day." He retorted as the both bumped hooves to seal the bet. "So how are we going to........ *SNAP* ........... get there?" He began to ask but paused as they were quickly teleported into an alleyway next to the club in question. It was now pitch black outside as Midnight looked around before his eyes rested onto Luna who was now walking out of the alley and around the corner. Midnight quickly following behind her so that he wouldn't get left behind.

As the two stepped up to the door, a burly looking unicorn held up a hoof before pointing to the long line of ponies, along with various other species, waiting to get in. Luna smiled as she pressed forward, lifting a hoof and placing a bag of bits into the pocket on the stallions vest. He gave a smirk and nod toward the door signalling the two to enter.

The heavy beats of the music could be heard from outside of the building, vibrating the ground all around it. Many of the beings outside the club were chatting each other up while others would move a little to what they could hear from inside. As Luna and Midnight entered into the club though. The heavy bass from the speakers could be felt vibrating through their very beings. It took Midnight a minute to get used to it as Luna dragged him onto the dance floor.

She gave a smile as she began to move to the music. Although Midnight wasn't used to this particular type of music, he attempted to follow along with Luna's moves. Giving a chuckle as she would make curtain moves and stumble slightly only to laugh at her mistakes.

After the song came to a close, the two left the dance floor and toward the bar, taking a seat on a couple of stools before ordering a drink each. Luna getting a lemonade while Midnight received a water.

"So what do you think about this little club off the beaten path?" Luna asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"A little out of my league I'm afraid. I'm getting to old for this." He laughed as he took a sip from his water bottle.

"To old?" She asked while cocking a brow.

"Yea, this is the scene for kids in their mid or late teens, up til their late twenties. I'm forty now if you count the past five years." He chuckled.

"That's nothing compared to my sister and me. We are eons older than you could ever hope to be." She smirked.

"And yet you act as if you are still a teenager. That's pretty cute." He grinned causing her to spit out her lemonade across the bar before gawking at him as her face turned a bright red.

"What makes it even cuter is that you are so easily flustered from a compliment." He grinned even wider seeing her face burn ten brighter shades of red.

Just as he was about to continue trying to make the princess of the night turn into a blistering red pony. The DJ came onto the speakers.

"Hey hey HEY Everyone! This is your local DJ, sending out some new beats by the music sensation DJ-Pon3's latest album, and I have to say that they are just as sick as the rest of her previous albums! Where does she get this stuff?!" He shouted as a roar came from the crowd.

"So then, lets put something new from one of her latest albums onto the turntable and see if we can't create a ruckus!" He laughed as his horn lit up, pulling a new record from under his setup and placing it onto the turntable.

As the music kicked on, Midnight's eyes went wide and a hush fell over the crowd as they listened to it for a few seconds.

"No way she actually made that from my list." Midnight laughed as he got up and headed toward the dance floor.

"Night? What are you doing?" Luna asked as she followed.

"Doll, this was the best music to to break dance to on my world during the eighty's. There is no way in hell I am going to pass up the opportunity to dance to it on this world." He laughed as he trotted out onto the dance floor and pressed into a quick trot making a large circle in the crowd. Everyone watching as he made a twenty foot diameter circle before trotting into the center and flaring his wings out at one point when the music paused before he began to break dance to the beat.

Now keep in mind that he has had experience in break dancing as a human. But being a pony was entirely new to him while he was attempting to do many of the moves he had done as a human. However, he was doing quite a good job at moving about, even using his wings to help him balance and even giving a flap or two to throw in some new moves. Soon the floor was being stomped pretty had as many of the ponies within the club cheered loudly. Some of the other patrons even giving a hoot and holler as the song came to an end.

Once the song ended, Midnight breathed hard as he trotted back over to Luna as they headed to the bar once again. Taking a seat, she began.

"That was, rather unusual, I must say." She tittered as the next song came onto the speakers.

"That was actually pretty nerve racking. I didn't even consider how hard it was going to be while in this form." He laughed.

"Still though, you seem to have the eye of quite a few mares in here." She giggled as she gave a slight nod to the corner booth where several mares were talking and looking in his general direction.

"And I bet they are thinking that taken since I am in the presence of such a lovely mare as well." He grinned toward luna who only turned a bright red at the compliment.

"S-still, I shouldn't keep you from your fans. Even if you are mine for the day." She smirked.

"Then how about we go dance together on the next song? Show those ponies how to move those flanks." He chuckled.

"Alright then. The next song we dance together." She smirked.

As the current song came to a close, the DJ came back onto the speakers. "Alright everyone. We have a special request from a recently married couple who wants to have a change of pace to the music we have been playing tonight. So grab a partner and pull'em close, because now is the moment............ for love." He growled playfully into the mic causing the entire group of ponies to chuckle. All except Luna and Midnight who were now slightly red as they heard a slow song come onto the speakers.

"Ahem............. well..............." Midnight began as he walked onto the dance floor, Luna right behind him. The paused for a moment as they got into the dancing position and began to sway to the music. As the words of the song were sung, Luna began to grow a brighter and brighter shade of red. That was of course until she heard Midnight singing along with the song right next to her ear.

As the music came to a close, the two separated. Midnight gave her a gentle smile, however it was interrupted as she clenched her eyes shut for a moment. Midnight was about to speak up but was suddenly halted by a pair of lips pressed to his own. He stood there, frozen, as Luna pulled away from him, her lips still slightly puckered as her eyes opened. He gave s surprised smile, but it soon ended as Luna realized what she had just done and took off through the crowd and rushed out the front door of the club. After a couple of seconds Midnight took chase. As he exited the club he looked down the street one way and then the other before seeing the running mare.

"LUNA!!!! WAIT!" He shouted as he took off after her.
