Uhm, I would like to join but, I'm not sure if maybe I should just juuump iin or... I don't know, I'd just rather ask you about it first

Moon Beam listened intently to Spawn, watching him as he worked. When the tea appeared next to her, she looked at it quickly, a bit surprised. However, she picked it up and took a sip.

"Mmm.. This is good." she said. Then suddenly, she realized something, and looked at Spawn. "Wait.. So, that means, you're nicer? Because, this was pretty nice. At least, I'd say." she said, grinning. "And what kind of tea is this?" she looked at the tea, watching the steam come from it. 

Senia looked at Grell, then smiled, remembering what her and Moon Beam had done.

"Oh, me and and Moon set up a kind of obstacle course for her for Easter. She should actually be done by now. But, the ending is this really secret part of the Everfree, so I don't know when she will be back. Depending on her, she could be back in a few minutes, or possibly an hour or two..." she said, looking towards the ceiling and wondering how Astrid liked the place they showed her. "But I mean, I could ping Moon Beam. As long as she is somewhere in the Everfree, I can get to her." she said. She looked at Grell, but almost seemed to be looking through him. Her eyes glinted and moved, sparkling with the pixels of her eye screen. Flicking her tail, she finally got to what she wanted.

"Ping Moon Beam. Hey, Moonie. We kind of need to know what's going on. I know you told me that Steel left, but Grell doesn't even know where. If you have anything, tell me. Uhm, where are you by the way? I'm a bit worried about you. Send ping." she said, then the pixels in her eyes went away. "Alright, she should probably ping me back soon. Well, hopefully." 

Senia took the sandwich, but only looked at it for a brief moment, then looked at Grell. 

"Well, no, I haven't been up that long. But shouldn't we be trying to find Steel and Moon Beam? Either, or both of them, could be in some serious trouble or something. And knowing Moon, I should be worried." Senia said, then took a bite of the sandwich. She was quite hungry, and couldn't help but have at least a little bit.

Moon Beam grunted, then sat down, watching Spawn. She smiled, then began to look around.

"So, why aren't you totally up for a fight, huh, Spawn? I thought you would be more than willing to try and beat my plot." she said, giggling a bit. "Interesting place up in here..." she said, scanning the area around them. She then looked at Spawn with a confused look, realizing something. 

"You seem, calmer... Or, at least something like that. Every time I've met you, you have been... pretty bogus, really. What's so different here, Mr. Grumpy Scales?" Moon Beam asked, giggling a bit at her own joke. At the moment, she was having quite a good time.

As Astrid finished, finding the last obstacle and getting to a single cherry tree in the middle of a clear area. This tree marked a very special spot in the Everfree that was home to rare animals, plants, fruits, and many more. There were ligers, purple frogs, and even two headed snakes. There were exotic lilies and lotuses and extremely tall sunflowers. 

A few meters from the tree, there was a small pond with fish of all different vibrant colors. The water was so clear and clean looking. This pond however, could be both magical and beautiful, and dangerous and evil. You just had to make the right choice. 

When Astrid walked up to the tree, a misty note emerged from its trunk, telling her all about this mystical area of the Everfree. It told her to be wary of the pond, but to be sure to at least take a glance, and how to be smart with it. It also told her of the animals and such, and encouraged her to explore, yet be careful. In the end, it said this:

"Once you are done here, slowly make your way back towards Grell's cabin. When you get there, you will see a large circle of flowers. Sit in the middle, and watch to flowers light up around you. They will glow until I am on my way back. They will fade as i draw nearer to you. So be patient, and take this. I love you, Astrid. And Steel loves you too. Be very careful. Love, Moonie."

As she read "..and take this.", a lotus came from behind the note and tucked itself behind her ear. It was a midnight blue color, like the other flower Moon Beam had given her. It began to glow immediately, and was meant to protect her from anything dangerous. 

"Ignoring me, I see. It's not very nice to ignore ponies, Spawn." Moon Beam said, grinning and giggling. She drew closer, the black mist washing over her. 

"I told you already, we are going to finish this right here, right now. And if you're not going to participate, then this will be all one sided. That wouldn't be very fun, would it now, Spawn? I thought you liked a good, bubbly fight." she said, flashing a quick devious smile.Then, her expression changed, and she glared at Spawn. 

"And don't worry about your 'host'. I'll make this quick, then heal him myself. Steel will be fine. As long as I finish this fairly quickly." Moon Beam said, growling as she finished speaking. 

Suddenly, she ran at Spawn. As she neared him, she began to fade, becoming almost invisible by the time she was next to him. Quickly, she jumped up, letting her wings take her higher. Soon, she was eye level with Spawn. She flew at him at great speed, then when she was inches from his face, she dove down, whipping him with her tail for fun. 

Before she connected with his chest, she 'disappeared'. However, she had gone inside of Spawn's chest. Seconds after, she emerged from his back, grinning evilly. Now visible again, she turned to face Spawn's back. 

"Wasn't that fun?" she said, her eyes quickly flashing white as she said 'fun'.

"Okay.." Senia said, still sounding unsure. However, she didn't want to argue with him about it. She knew that he knew what was best for himself, and hoped he actually did what was best for him. 

"So, do you have any idea where Steel went last night? Moon said that he left. After that, she flew off without saying anything else. Did Steel tell you anything before he left?" Senia asked, watching the bottles as they moved around.

Moon Beam turned to Steel as he landed, and her smile widened. She didn't expect him to follow her, but was glad that he did.

"You can call me Violette if you would like. And most ponies just call him Trace." Violette said.

"Okay. But, are you two, like famous or royal? Usually that's the only way any ping will show up about somepony. Unless they are of some special significance to me.." she said, bringing up her eye screen as she spoke.

"Well no, we are far from either." Violette said, laughing.

"That's not completely true. We are descendants." Trace said, sounding yet again, very bored. 

"Maybe that's why." Moon Beam was looking over her eye screen and all the information that popped up, her tail flicking continuously.

"Far descendants though. However, that's the main reason are names are French. Ponies who aren't royal at all usually have names more common to their home town, which I mean, is pretty obvious I guess. That does happen everywhere, doesn't it?" Violette said.

"Yeah, mostly. But trends with foreign names are common where we come from. But, there is something about you two being royally connected. However, I don't think that's why you guys had a ping..." Moon Beam said, trailing off a bit.

"Well, why would we have one?" Trace asked, sounding more interested now.

"We're related.." Moon Beam said, looking up at the two as her eye screen faded.

Moon Beam laughed. "Oh yeah no, that's the reason that I'm here, Spawn. I'm sick and tired of you bucking everything up." she said, sounding angrier and angrier as she spoke. The black mist became darker, and spread to her mane and tail, causing them to change black and to almost imitate fire.  "You have done too much and caused too much. This is it, Spawn. I'm done with you, and you getting in the way! This is the last anypony will see of you, because I intend to rid of you right here, right now. And, I'm going to make this very quick and brief. I mean, if I didn't have somepony to stop from dying, I would make you suffer." she said, her last words quiet and fierce. An evil grin spread across her face as she stepped toward Spawn, ready for anything he decided to throw at her.

Senia smiled when the door opened, but the scent of alcohol immediately hit her nose. She did her best to ignore it, but when she saw the bags under Grell's eyes, she had a look of worry on her face.

"Grell, why haven't you gotten any sleep?" Senia asked, her voice soft and caring. She glanced behind him, seeing the bottles lying all over the floor. "And why have you been drinking so much?" she asked, sounding more and more worried with every word.

((oh yeah well the whole thing with Moon Beam was pretty long i didnt want to make it longer))

Senia sat in silence looking at the door for a long moment, not sure what Grell was doing. After about a half a minute, she sighed, feeling like she should just walk away. However, something caused her to knock on the door, except louder this time. 

Moon Beam searched Steel's mind, running and flying quickly in all directions. His mind was very large and there was a lot inside it. She didn't know how long it would take to find what she was looking for. She landed and sighed, looking around blankly. 

Suddenly, she heard something not too far away. She lifted into the air yet again and flew towards the sound. Happily, she knew she had found what she was looking for.

"Spawn." she spat fiercely, flying down to him. He looked like he was doing something, and quite frantically. However, she just wanted to get this done and over with quickly so that she could save Steel. 

"Looks like we have some unfinished business. Let's take care of that." Moon Beam said, grinning deviously, the black glow and mist returning to her eyes. Her wings and hooves had the same black mist that flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she grew a little bit bigger, getting ready to get rid of Spawn for good.

Granted, but now you get bad grades because your teachers can't give you the homework and they blame it on you 

I wish I was famous 

((sounds cool))

Moon Beam landed next to the alicorns, who looked down at her with both confusion and shock. 

"Hey! Uhm, sorry to interrupt you two, but, you came up on my eyescreen. I wanted to talk to you about that, and also about why you seem so familiar to me." she blurted excitedly. 

The alicorns stared at her for a while, then finally, the mare smiled and spoke up.

"Well hello there. Before we begin talking about all that, I would like to introduce myself. I am Luna Violette, which is French for violet moon." she said.

"And I'm Luna Trace, French for moon track." the stallion said, not sounding or looking too happy.

"I'm Moon Beam, but you could call me Moon or Moonie if you'd like. Hey, we all have 'moon' in our names. That's so cool..." Moon Beam said, smiling happily.

Moon Beam was crying now, tears falling down her cheeks. She looked at him, trying to keep her cool the best she could. Her mother always told her that in the worst situations, the best thing you could do is stay calm, because if you lost it, things could get even more out of hoof.

"Steel..." Moon Beam said, letting her head hang low. She closed her eyes, letting a tear fall down her cheek and onto the ground. She heard it hit the grass below, and her ear twitched. She sat there for a short moment, then sighed.

Moon Beam looked up at Steel, devastation all across her face. However, there was a hint of hope and courage in her eyes, causing her tears to stop falling. A slight smile made its way onto her face. 

"I'm not about to let you go, Steel. And, you see, I grew up around unicorns and lots of crazy magic and spells, and I learned many useful things with them. You may not like this, but it's my only other idea. And anyway, there's no way you are going to stop me." she said, backing away from Steel. Her eyes began to glow black, with trails of mist coming out of the sides. She began to talk, but it was in another language. She spoke softly, yet harshly. Soon, she began to fade away, and became almost transparent. 

Suddenly, she ran towards him, wings open. She jumped, aiming for his head, now yelling the chant. However, the two didn't collide. Moon Beam went inside of Steel's mind, searching for the one being she had ever wanted dead. 

((this is one thing I have been wanting to do for a while, since this was like part of her backstory sort of. she had learned a lot with the unicorns, and one of the things was like sort of body linking type thing, and she could go into other ponies' minds and could control other ponies and all sorts of almost evil type things, which she learned the more bad ones from her mother's enemy's daughter... long story, but yeah))

Senia noticed when Astrid teleported off of the cloud, feeling the lack of her presence. She smiled, then flew down towards Grell's cabin. She landed silently in front of the door, then brought her hoof up to knock. However, she hesitated, bringing her hoof down a bit, not sure id she wanted to interrupt Grell. 

"He might be sleeping, or something severely important. Maybe I should leave him alone and not bother him." she thought, then turned her head to look at the horizon. The sun was higher in the sky now, with no clouds in sight. "I should get him outside, though. It's a beautiful day." Senia thought with a smile, then lightly tapped on the door.

Moon Beam could tell she was getting closer, and she sped up, going faster and faster by the second. Her heart was pounding, and she could now feel and see the aura she was tracking. She was now only mere feet from her target. 

Suddenly, she stopped in mid air, almost falling. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. Slowly, she descended to the ground and gently landed, her eyes locked on the sight that had stopped her. 

"Steel?... What-" she began, but her throat was already swelling, the tears welled in her eyes, and the heat spread across her face. Then, out of no where, she was running towards Steel, who was bleeding on the ground. 

"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?" she yelled, placing her hoof gently on his foreleg. "Who am I kidding? I know you're crazy!" Suddenly, she calmed down, and spoke with a soft, soothing tone. "But, why?" she asked, looking into his half-closed eyes.

Moon Beam blinked, and watched her eyescreen come into view. She scanned the area, hearing little pings and watching points pop up in her vision. She smiled, twitching her tail every so often. She was reading little tidbits of information on different things in the area. She wanted to know as much as she could about this land before they went anywhere. Suddenly, she stopped looking around, and her eyes rested on something in the distance. She blinked away her eyescreen.

"Hey, do you see that, Steel?" she asked, pointing to two alicorns. "A ping popped up about them, but I didn't read it. None of the other alicorns had any pings about them, so they must be important." Moon Beam said, still staring off, her eyes narrowing. "You should come with me to talk to them. They look a bit.. familiar, to me.." She then lifted into the air and flew off towards to alicorns.

Senia was about to follow Moon Beam when she heard Astrid stir slightly. She looked over, watching as her eyes fluttered open slowly. Her eyes widened, and she quickly flew under the cloud, hoping Astrid hadn't seen her. When Astrid didn't say anything about her for a little while, Senia figured she was quick enough. She sighed in relief. 

About a minute had passed, and Astrid hadn't moved much or anything. Then, she sensed Moon Beam's cloud note. She would have felt or heard some kind of ping when it was opened, but that never happened. Senia figured Astrid either hadn't seen it, or didn't know what it was or how to open it. 

Senia planted her hoof on the bottom of the cloud, and focused all of her power and energy. She took a deep breath in, then slowly and deeply exhaled. Soon, the cloud spread out to form a sheet of pink, sparkly mist. Green letters began to appear, showing the directions Astrid needed to know for the hunt. 

Smiling and sighing, Senia let her hoof down. She hoped Astrid was reading it, and that she knew that with her powers, she could open any of the others she found on her way. 

As Moon Beam flew, she felt a pain in her chest. She continued to fly, but kept a hoof on her chest, constantly applying pressure as the pain would come and go. She knew what it was and how to handle it. 

She blinked once, then watched an eye screen come into view. The pixelized grid soon showed different images, words, codes, and many other things she usually needed. She flicked her tail, then her right ear, and a tracker map popped into view. Her tail twitched again, and the map faded. She could see everything around her, but a few main points remained in her vision, showing her where to go. 

"Soon." she said quietly, then increased her speed.

I found the bathroom fairly easily, since it wasn't too far from Spacer's room. Everything I needed was in an obvious place, so they were also easy to find. On the other hand, the shower settings were confusing, but that's how it usually is. 

However, I soon figured it out. I decided to change the settings from hot to cold when I felt like it instead of keeping it one temperature. The only difficult part was staying off my bad hoof, since it was such a small space. I managed with only minor pain, but it was still pretty challenging. 

After about a half hour, I got out of the shower. I grabbed my towel as I flew out and dried off as quickly as possible. Wiping off the condensation on the mirror and looking into it, I smiled at my yet again wavy mane.

"Back to normal." I said, giggling a little.

I looked over my face, slowly taking in every feature. I stared at my eyes, then smiled slightly. I love my eyes, since I see them as my best feature. Sometimes, I feel like they are the only part of my face that make me even slightly pretty. I giggled at my thoughts, shrugging them off quickly. I didn't like negative thoughts, and tried to stay positive most of the time.

Soon, I was flying out of the bathroom with the heat pouring out of the open door behind me. I smiled, feeling the fresh cold air hit me. I flew back to the room, towel in hoof, still rubbing my mane dry. I landed on the couch and looked around at everypony, smiling.

"That was refreshing. What'd I miss?" I asked.

Moon Beam had fallen asleep soon after she talked to Steel. Her and Senia made a ring of glowing flowers around them, then hummed together until the both of them were fast asleep. The flowers continued to glow, and would keep going until both ponies were awake. 

As the sun rose, Moon Beam awoke slowly. She sat up, keeping her eyes closed, then stretched and yawned. Opening her eyes, she immediately began blinking. Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she looked around. She smiled, taking in the beautiful scenery. The sunrise different hues of pink and orange, while the other side of the sky a dark blue. The ring of flowers around her swayed in the slight breeze, as well as the grass and the leaves on the trees. 

Suddenly, Moon Beam's eyes widened, and a large smile spread across her face. 

"Senia! Wake up! Nia!" Moon Beam said, shaking Senia. She jumped, as she woke, turning over to face Moon Beam quickly, a terrified look on her face. The glow of the flowers around them faded, leaving them looking irregularly dull.

"Oh my Celestia, Moon Beam! You can't do that. You scared me!" Senia said, sitting up slowly.

"But, Senia.. I have my sight back." Moon Beam's smile widened.

"What? Really?!" Senia exclaimed, smiling as well. 

"Yes! I can see everything again!" 

"This is great, Moon!" Senia lifted into the air and spun around quickly, smiling and laughing. 

"But, hey, let's go check and see if Astrid woke up yet." Moon Beam said, then flew up to Steel's cloud. She was shocked to find Astrid lying there, but without Steel. She noticed the charm around her neck, knowing that's the only way Astrid could stay up here.

Moon Beam landed next to Astrid. Then she looked over at the pink mist that was the note she had left. Seconds after, she noticed another note. She read it, and sighed, then turned to see Senia floating near the cloud. 

"What is it?" Senia asked.

"Steel left." Moon Beam answered. She hopped off the side of the cloud, then began slowly flying away just above the trees.

((im so sorry i havent been posting guys i've been with my friend and whenever i get on the forums and reply in my rps i tend to get really caught up but like i said im really sorry))

Moon Beam quickly dodged the trees, her vision almost back to normal now. Senia struggled to keep up with her fast pace, but managed.

"Where are we going?" Senia shouted, trying her best to follow along.

"Deeper into the woods. We'll make it like a scavenger hunt, mystery type thing. See, she'll be looking for clues and different objects to help her progress. In the end, she will get a special reward." Moon Beam called back, keeping her eyes forward. 

Suddenly, she opened her wings, dropping her speed dramatically. She landed on a tree branch, and looked around. Senia, surprised by Moon Beam's sudden stop, almost knocked her off the tree. Fortunately, she stopped just in time. 

"This is the first place she will have to find." Moon Beam said, then hopped to the ground. 

((okay i don't want to put the whole thing together and make this really long so let's just say they did the whole thing and yeah))

Senia and Moon Beam soon finished, and were on their way back to the others. When they got there, Moon Beam flew up to Steel and Astrid's cloud to find Steel awake, and Astrid asleep on his back. She smiled, and flew closer to Steel.

"Hey, I put this whole thing together for Astrid, since tomorrow is Easter. It's like, a scavenger hunt, but more Astrid's style. At least, I think. But, I'm going to leave her a special note thing that will start her hunt. Don't say anything, pretend you don't know or that you're asleep. I want to keep it a mystery, and make it a good experience for her." she whispered, smiling the entire time. 

Then, she flew back as her eyes began to glow pink. Soon, there was a little misty cloud floating in the air near Astrid.

"This will tell her about the first location and stuff, but won't give much detail about the whole hunt. This will give it more mystery. Just, keep her from ruining the surprise with her and her mind tricks." she giggled. "I don't think she'll need help or anything, but only help her if she gets really stuck. But let her do it mostly on her own, and let her be alone for it. That will make it more fun and exciting. In the end, she will get a very special prize. And don't worry, she isn't going to be put in any danger." Moon Beam said with a smile, then kissed Steel on his cheek. "Good night, Steel. I love you." she said, then flew down to Senia.

I take the brush from Spacer, and start to pull it through my mane. I listen to her talk about the shower, and smile slightly.

"Well, I do like cold showers more when the warmer weather is around. And I think that'd be better for me anyway." I say, brushing out the last parts of my mane. 

I slide off the couch and stand the best I can, keeping my weight on my three good hooves. I put the brush on the nearest table, then look over at Spacer. "Thanks for letting me use this by the way. But, I'll be back in about twenty minutes. I'm sure I'll find everything I need." I notice Spacer packing, and realize it'd be a good idea to do the same as soon as possible. "After that, I'll go straight to my place to pack up. Would you like to come with me, Dust? I'd rather have somepony some with me, just in case something happens on the way there." I ask, looking at Dust with big puppy eyes. 

Stratus looks around the room a bit awkwardly, then decides to speak up. "Well hey, it was nice meeting you all, and last night was pretty fun," he then winks at me. "But, I really should get going. This trip thing sounds pretty important, and I wouldn't want to get in the way." He turns to leave, then stops and looks back at me. "I hope you wouldn't mind me asking, but, can I have your number? I'd love to stay in touch." 

I look at him in surprise, then smile. "Sure, why not?" I say, then find a marker and piece of paper. I write down my number and my name with a little smiley beside it, to make it a bit cuter. Hoofing it to him, I smile warmly. "Don't lose it." I say, then fly out the door.

Senia sighed, then looked over at Astrid. She seemed a bit aggitated and tired.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Astrid. Did I wake you up? I didn't mean to." she said, an apologetic look on her face. "But, it's too bad you don't want to sing for us. I thought it might be fun, though. But I'll leave you two a lone now. Good night." she said, then began to fly towards the ground in circles with her wings out, to make her descent a bit slower. 

Moon Beam had heard the conversation, and snickered as Senia landed. She had a victorious smile on her face.

"I was hoping he would say 'No'." Moon Beam said.

"Well, I wasn't. It would've been nice. A little friendly competition, a fire, Steel playing his guitar as you two sing back and forth, then end it with a duet." Senia said with a smile. 

Moon Beam giggled. "Looks like that isn't happening, though." she said. She gazed up at the stars, then gasped. "Hey wait!" she exclaimed, looking back to Senia.

"What?" Senia almost screamed, surprised. 

"I just remembered! Tomorrow's Easter!" She smiled, then stood up. "We could do some kind of Easter egg hunt for Astrid!" she said excitedly. 

"Well, this is Astrid we're talking about. I think Easter eggs aren't very much her style." Senia said. "But I like that. And we could do something for eveypony else as well. So we could all celebrate Easter." she smiled.

"Yeah, totally bubbly." Moon Beam said. She looked at the ground and narrowed her eyes, trying to think of a way to make a good "Easter egg hunt" for Astrid, with less girly, tiny filly things. 

"We should have something more, dangerous. Like, not to put her in harm's way, just more of a challenge, like an obstical course kind of thing." Senia said. 

Moon Beam looked up, her eyes wide and a bright smile on her face. "You just gave me an idea! Follow me!" she yelled, flying off. Senia obeyed, and flew off after her.

Finshing the amazing food, I place the plate on the table closest to me, one last peice of bacon in my hoof. I look over at Stratus, then Bre, then, Dust, and finally to Spacer. I smiled, and decided to try and start a fun conersation. 

"How was last night's party for you, Spacer? Seemed like you and Bre were having fun." I say, looking at the both of them , grinning slightly. I had seen the two of them dancing together at one point, but hadn't seen them the whole night afterwards. 

I eat my last peice of bacon and drink the last of my water, then look over at the pile of glow sticks that must have been Spacer's and Bre's, since they don't have any on. I look down at my hoof and see the ones I intertwined with my bracelets. I take them off and place them on the table, then look at my back hoof. I don't see any, and figure the doctor took them off. Reaching up to my ear, I notice that one is gone too. Lastly, I check the base of my tail, and find a few. I undo them and place them on the table with the rest. 

I try to smooth out my mane and tail. I groan, knowing they probably look terrible. 

"Ugh, I look like a mess, don't I?" I ask giggling, not talking to anypony in particular.

Since Moon Beam had such keen hearing, she had heard Steel singing and playing as soon as he started. However, she could hear the music increasing slowly. She began swaying her tail slightly to the music.

Moon Beam hadn't realized it, but a bright smile had made its way across her face. Once she noticed, she simply laughed, then looked over at Senia. 

"The sky is so hypnotizing tonight. It had me hooked so bad, I didn't even realize the stupid expression on my face." she said with a giggle. 

Senia looked over and laughed with her. "Happens to all of us, Moon." she said. Then, she looked back up at the sky, a confused look on her face. "What is that?" she asked.

Moon Beam sat up and gazed at the sky. "Steel." she said, looking back down at Senia, smiling warmly. 

"Ahh, he has a nice voice." Senia said. 

"Yeah, but he's not better than me." Moon Beam said, laughing. 

"Maybe, maybe not." Senia said, looking over and smiling deviously at Moon Beam. Then suddenly, she gasped and sat up quickly. "You should have like, a singing contest! To see who's the better singer." she said. 

"Hah! No! Pfff, no.." Moon Beam said, looking up at the cloud Steel was on.

"Why? You scared he'll win?"

"No! I just, don't want him to hear me sing." 

"Oh, come on! You're great. I'll go ask him!" Senia lifted into the air before Moon Beam could reply and was up at Steel's cloud in seconds. "Hey, Steel! You and Moon Beam should have a sing off! It'd be so fun!" she shouted, bouncing around in the air.

Stratus smiles, and takes the bacon from Dust. "Well, I'm Stratus. Not much else other than a part time volunteer firefighter, and full time party pony." he says, winking at me then taking a bite out of the bacon. 

I look up at him and giggle. I sniff the air, smelling the delicious food. I look around, then sit up.

"Hey, Stratus? Could you be an amazingly awesome pony and get me some bacon? And an egg?" I ask, smiling at him brightly. 

He smiles and sighs, then laughs. "Sure thing, Star." He grabs an empty plate nearby, then puts a decent pile of bacon on it, followed by a single egg. "Here you go. Your pile of bacon with a side of egg." he says, attempting a bad joke. I laugh anyway, and take the plate. I don't hesitate to pick up a piece of bacon and bite into it viciously. 

"Mmmmmmm..." I close my eyes and lean back. "Oh my wow..." I say, looking at Dust. "After this breakfast, I'm going to feel able to fly around the whole world in an hour." I laugh, then take another bite. "But, I'll be fine to fly for a while. I won't even need to rest much. I used to do a lot of sports and whatever, and my coaches worked me really hard. I could fly from here to the other end of the city about a million times and wouldn't have to take one break!" I announce, laughing. 

Soon, I'm too busy chowing down the amazing food Dust prepared to talk very much.

Moon Beam watched Steel grab a cloud, then disappear as he laid on top of it. She saw a few small white puffs fly off the cloud as he landed, and she giggled.

Then, she realized how her vision was slowly going back to normal, since she could see a lot more now. Also, her sense of smell and hearing helped. When she was on the ground, vibrations helped her sight a lot. Even without seeing, her other senses made her vision almost perfect, as if she wasn't blind.

Smiling, she looked over at Senia. "I'm getting my sight back. Slowly, but surely." she said, turning to look back up at the sky. The stars twinkled, and she remembered her favorite song from when she was a filly.

"That's great! I wonder if you'll be able to see by tomorrow." Senia said. She noticed Moon Beam's expression as she looked up at the stars, which was an almost dreamy look. She looked back up at the sky. "Remember your song?" she asked, giggling.

Moon Beam laughed. "Yeah, I guess." she smiled. "You want to sleep under the stars tonight?" she asked, turning to Senia.

"That sounds beautiful." 

Moon Beam looked back up at the stars, and began humming. Senia followed along with her,smiling.

Moon Beam looked at Astrid and giggled. It'd been a long time since she had seen such a small filly, and thought that she was quite adorable.

"Uhm, I know it must be weird to see so many, non-alicorns..." she said, looking back at the alicorn and smiling nervously. 

Moon Beam smiled at Frost, and giggled.

"Good to see you too! We haven't actually talked since yesterday when you got hurt." she said, flying over and lighting down next to him. She leaned over and rested her elbow on his back. "Wassup?" she asked, then laughed a bit.

Senia watched Moon Beam and giggled at her. She walked over to Grell and stood next to him, turning towards the rest of the group. 

"It's nice to have all of us here, and happy. Nice, big, bubbly group." she said with a bright smile. 

"Yeah, I know. This is actually really nice." Moon Beam said, sitting down with a thud. She smiled, then looked around at everypony in the group. 

"Seriously. And look, the stars are coming out. We can just sit and look at the stars." Senia was staring up at the sky as it slowly got darker and darker. The stars began to appear and dot the sky with glimmering little white specks. She smiled, and looked over at Moon Beam. 

"Yeah, that'd be nice.." Moon Beam said dreamily, looking up. The stars almost had an aura of their own, and she could see them fairly well.

She looked at Senia, returning the smile. She motioned with her head towards a patch of soft looking grass, then looked around at everypony. 

"Come on." she said, flying over to the patch and laying down in the grass. Senia immediately followed, and lied down next to her. They both smiled with delight, looking up at the speckled night sky.

Moon Beam looked at Steel and gave a devious grin. 

"Then you should go first." She gigged, then stepped through to portal, immediately seeing Celestia and Hank talking to an alicorn.

"Why, hello!" she said enthusiastically, walking up the pony. She smiled warmly, staring up at the alicorn with interest in her eyes.

"I'm Moon Beam. What's your name?"
