"I love you too, Steel." Moon Beam said, kissing his cheek before he walked away. However, even though he had told her tht Senia was out of the cabin, she didn't bother to look. She was too busy looking up at the tree and sniffing, trying to find any other good apples. She figured they would be good to have on the trip. Senia watched Steel walk away from Moon Beam. She decided to take the opportunity to talk to her. "Ah, she's free." she said, lifting into the air and flying towards Moon Beam. As soon as she landed in front of her, she began talking. "Hey, uh, Moonie. You knew what to do with me earlier and stuff , so I'm guessing you know what's going on with me and whatever. So why am I glowing? Especially this eye thing.." she said quickly. Moon Beam looked up at her in surprise, realizing her glowing wings, cutie mark, and eyes right away. "Oh, yes. Well, I can tell you kissed him, huh?" Moon Beam said with a giggle. Senia blushed, and tapped Moon Beam on the shoulder. "Not funny, Moon. But yes, I did. But what does that have to do with anything?" "Well, I realized it when I saw you look at him. I mean, I wasn't blind the first time I saw it, but the spark was big enough to be seen by anypony who knew what it was. However, after Grell blinded me, I saw it when you two were together, and when you started feeling those pains. I saw it in almost everything you did. You two are linked." Moon Beam said the last sentence with a bright smile. "Your irises show it, with the golden glow representing the inner energy of your heart and mind, clashing together. Your wings and cutie mark however, signal your love for him." she said, looking up and finding a flower. She flew up to it, then brought it back down to Senia. It was red with a white middle. She closed her eyes, and the flower glowed red for a second. "Here." she said, tucking it behind Senia's ear. "What's this for?" Senia asked. Moon Beam smiled. "It's a sign. Grell will see it, and he will know what it means. Trust me. If he is the pony Steel has made him out to be, he should know the sign. It's just telling him about you two being linked without actually telling him." she said, then turned and walked towards Steel and Astrid.

Moon Beam stops flying suddenly, and turns to Steel. "It's not that I'm afraid of them hurting or killing me, that was just me babbling, I guess. It's the fact that I kind of like it here, where I'm not insignificant." she says with a sigh. "Well, I mean, mostly..." she looks down at the floor, seeing her and Steel in the tiles' reflection.

I began circling around Stratus, laughing and smiling. We had been flying around for a while, just talking and having a good time. However, I wasn't really good at conversation at the moment, with the alcohol taking affect on me. "Hey, have you had anything to drink... tonight?" I ask, slowly flying around him. He tilts his head, then turns around to find me. "No, not yet. I'm guessing you have though." he says with a laugh. I giggle a bit. "Yeaaahhhh, I have." I say almost dreamily. "Come on. You need something to drink if you're gonna be h-hanging out with me." I say, grabbing his hoof and flying towards the bar. We land in front of the bar, and I immediately look at the bartender. "Two shots of your strongest drink." The pony gives me a wary look. "Not for me. Him." I say, motioning to Stratus. The pony nods. Soon, there are two shots in front of me. I grab them both, then turn and hoof one to Stratus. He takes it, then looks at me and smiles, then takes the shot. Then, in one swift motion, he sets the glass down then takes the other from me, taking the shot quickly. "Woah. Somepony's eager to get drunk." I say, taking the glass from him and sliding it onto the bar. "It was good, what can I say?" He is already slurring his words a bit. I look at him, and give a devious smile. "Let's get out of here. I'll find my friends later, but for now, I want to spend time with you!" I say, poking him on the chest with the last word. I giggle, then walk towards the entrance of the place. I turn back, and find Stratus following close behind, wobbling a bit.

I watch Dust take his glowsticks off and walk back into the crowd. Soon, he was out of sight. I sigh, then take the last shot myself. I look at the bartender, who looks back at me and shrugs. I do the same, then slide the three glasses towards the pony. I walk back into the crowd, not really in the mood to dance. I kept my head down, luckily not getting bumped into that much. Suddenly, I walk into a pony's side, and send him stumbling to the side. I shake my head, stumbling a bit myself. I look up, a little surprised. "Hey, I'm sorry-" I began, but was cut off when the stallion looked up at me. He only looked slightly upset, but still had a sort of grin on his face. "Oh... Wow.." I said, then realized I was talking out loud. "Sorry, you're just.. wow.." The stallion threw his head back and laughed. "Don't worry. I mean, you're pretty 'wow' yourself." he says. I giggle and blush a little. Then, smiling devilishly, I get an idea. "Well thanks. My name's Star Catcher, and I'd love it if you'd dance with me." I say, walking up to him. He looks a bit surprised, but smiles and nods anyway. "Well I'd love to dance with you. And, my name's Stratus." he says with a smile. "Nice." I say, then lift into the air. "How about up here?" I ask. He grins, then follows me up. "Yeah." Stratus and I flew up higher than most of the other ponies would go, since it was so close to the lights. "I like it up here better. It's actually a bit quieter." I say, beginning to dance with him. "I know. It's a bit more, peaceful, I guess. And lots of the ponies down there can't really see us. All they can see are our glowsticks, really. But barely that, either." he smiles, and begins to dance also. "Well, this will keep my mind off of things." I thought with a smile.

Moon Beam giggled, and looked over at Astrid, then back to Steel. "It's fine, I get it. I know how filly's can get sometimes. She is definitely different from most fillies, but every filly still act the same sometimes, no matter who raised them or how mature they are." she said smiling, looking over at Astrid once more. "We should get back to her, though." Senia smiled at Grell, then walked out the door. As soon as she was outside, she saw Moon Beam and Steel standing under an apple tree, and Astrid sitting by herself in the grass. She figured that the two were talking about something serious, since they wouldn't have left Astrid by herself unless it was important. She took a few steps toward Astrid, then stopped, figuring she would wait for Steel and Moon Beam to finish talking. Soon, she noticed the flower that Astrid had. She looked at it closely, seeing its color, and smiling brightly. "Midnight blue, huh? Fine choice for the young filly. It does describe her quite well.." she thought, looking over at Moon Beam and smiling.

Moon Beam nodded again, then smiled. "Well yeah, he did." she said, then looked at Celestia. "So, about going to this World of Alicorns.. I still don't know if I'd really want to. I mean, I have a lot here, you know, where everypony is more like me, and not giant, powerful alicorns who could kill me in an instant. I don't even know if this place is real..." she said, taking a few steps back and turning away from the group. "I'm going to need some time." she said, then lifted into the air and flew off.

Senia smiled, her pupils beginning to glow with a golden light. "Me too." she said. When she noticed the light coming from her wings and cutie mark, she looked back at them. With a sort of awkward smile, she turned back to Grell. "Well, that's uh, weird." she said, giggling a bit. She didn't know why her wings and cutie mark were glowing, and when she noticed her pupils' glow, she knew they all had to do with the same thing. She sighed, realizing that Moon Beam would probably know what was going on with her, since she knew to bring her here. "Uhm, I think I should talk to Moon about this. I bet she knows what's going on. So, should we go out there now?" she asked, looking at the door. Moon Beam was still in the tree at this point, letting the tree and everything on it come into view better. Soon, she could see every little line on the tree trunk, and she smiled. She looked around, seeing every leaf, flower, and apple. Inhaling deeply through her nose, she could sniff out where the best apples were, and flew towards the scent. Not too long after finding the apples, she had made a small basket with a strap to go around her neck, woven with leaves and twigs. "Thanks, mom." she said quietly to herself, smiling as she inspected the basket. Soon, she had she obtained a large amount of them, and was now carrying them inside the small basket, and was heading towards the ground again.

I pout when Dust tells me that he doesn't drink, then sigh. "Well that's no fun." I say. As he talks about where we should go after the party, I look at him with a slightly bored expression. Then, he brings up the option to talk later, I smile. "Yeah, because right now, I want to have something good to drink." I say, then turn to the bartender. "Give me a couple shots of your strongest drink. Let's say, like three for starters." I said, then look back at Dust, then wink at him. When the bartender slides me the three small cups, I quickly take a shot. I make a weird face, then shake my head rapidly. "Wooh! Now that's good!" I say with a smile and a laugh. "Sure you don't want to try anything? You could start simple, with a not-so-strong drink." I say, turning to Dust. A flash him a warm smile. "Come on, at least try some. For me?" I giggle, then grab another shot glass from the two others, and take another shot. This time, I just laughed really loudly. "Haha, sorry. It's so strong, I think I might already be getting drunk! Buck!" I say, laughing, then pick up the third glass. This time, I hesitate, and look at Dust with a devious grin. I hold out the glass towards him. "I dare you." I say in an almost seductive voice, a flirty look on my face.

Moon Beam nodded when Steel told her that the filly was his daughter. Then, when the necklace began to glow, she looked down, then back up at Aries. "Just as you thought? What do you mean?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Oh great, what does Mr. Mysterious have to say?" she thought.

Moon Beam looked at Astrid, then to Steel, and went back and forth for a bit, not sure what to say or do. She began to look around, searching for something that could possibly change the subject. After a while, she spotted a tree, thats aura was spotted with small orbs of light. She sniffed the air, getting the familiar scent of apples. "An apple tree! Great!" she thought. "Uuuuhhh... Oh hey look at that! An apple tree! Anypony want some apples? Hah, I know I do!" she said nervously, then walked over to the tree and flew up, disappearing into the branches. "Oh wow, they actually smell really delicious.." she said. She didn't plan on going back down for a while, trying to avoid that awkward situation. Senia smiled even wider when Grell began kissing her back, happy that he didn't push her away or anything. She was surprised when he pulled her closer, but didn't mind, and she couldn't help but smile more. She was so happy that every thought in her head was gone. She could only think about one thing: how amazing this moment was. Soon, she pulled away, and looked into his eyes. "I hope you don't think this is too, forward or anything like that, but... I think.. I love you." she said, smiling a little.

"Well, You're wel-" I began to talk, but before I could finish, Dust kisses me on the ear. I hear him laugh a bit, so I realize he didn't exactly mean to do it. However, I star to laugh, too. When he picks me up with his magic and puts me on his back, I began laughing even more. I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly, to keep myself from falling. At one point, I looked over to see a bar on the far side of the room. I grinned, then looked down at Dust. "Hey, there's a bar over there. Wanna go have some shots?" I ask, then hop off of his back. But, before he even had a chance to answer me, I grab his scarf yet again and run off with it in the direction of the bar. "Come get it!" I yell to him, pushing through the crowd of ponies. I threw the scarf around my neck, then turned my head to see if Dust was there. However, it was fairly dark and all I could really see while I was rushing through the crowd were glowsticks. So, I turned back around and began pushing through ponies again, watching the lights dance around the room with everypony else.

Moon Beam looked up at Steel and smiled. It had felt as if all her worries and fears had been pulled out of her. She looked over at the cabin door, hoping that Senia and Grell would walk out soon. "At least I know she'll be okay.." she said quietly, still staring at the cabin door, waiting for it to open. "Maybe waiting will just make me more nervous." she thought, turning away quickly. She remembered how she still hadn't shifted back to normal, with everything that had recently happened causing her curse to keep her in defense mode. She looked around, , trying to find the aura of flowers. Luckily, she saw a small patch, not too far away from them. "I'll be back." she said, shaking off Steel's wing and running towards the patch. When she got a bit closer, she jumped and began flying towards the flowers. Once she was closer, her eyes and wings began to glow, and she smiled. She began to circle the patch, watching as they lit up more in her vision, their auras intensifying. As the auras did so, they became visible to others, too. So they looked as if they were glowing. Soon, the flowers began to lift out of the ground and follow the breeze Moon Beam was creating as she flew around them. They were now floating in a tornado like pattern, glowing brighter every second. She began to fly higher and higher, the flowers following her lead. As she flew faster, they spun faster, growing brighter. Suddenly, once she was high enough, and they were going fast enough, and glowing bright enough, Moon Beam banked into a turn towards the center of the flowers. Once she was in the middle, she flew up through them. The flowers then exploded with light and color, looking almost like fireworks, just more magical. She looked over at Astrid and smiled as the sparkling flowers slowly drifted down around her. "Did you like my little show?" she asked, flying back towards them. As she flew, she found one flower that was sparkling brightly, still spinning wildly. She plucked it from the air, and brought it with her. She reached the two, then presented the flower to Astrid. It was a sort of midnight blue. "Here, this is for you, Astrid. The color represents you. Since the night is mysterious, yet amazing. It's dark, yet bright. Dangerous, yet beautiful and innocent." she said with a smile. Senia looked into Grell's eyes as he spoke. She smiled as he finished. "Good." she said, then leaned in quickly and kissed him. She didn't know if that was a bad idea or not, but frankly, she didn't care. Once their lips met, her wings shot open, glowing brightly. Also, her cutie mark was emitting a luminescent light. She smiled as she kissed him, realizing what was going on.

Moon Beam looked over at Steel and Aries, eyes wide. She sort of smiled, happy to see Steel again, but forced herself not to. "Well hey there, strangers." she said with a giggle. "Who's the little one?" she asked, looking at the filly on Steel's back. Moon Beam looked Steel over, taking note of the many weapons all over him.

thank you sooooo much

The way he talked made me laugh a bit, since he was acting so nervous. I giggled, and began dancing again. "Thanks. And, you don't have to be so nervous, babe." I say, smiling. I move closer yet again, and kiss him on the cheek. "Concert's aren't meant for being nervous. They're meant for dancing and being free. But most importantly, letting your true feelings show." I said, then winked at him. "So just dance." Soon, I was dancing again, eyes closed, feeling the vibe in the crowd. Every so often, I'd steal a glance at some of the other ponies around me, who were dancing and laughing and going crazy. I usually ended up laughing with them, not even knowing why. At one point, I looked over at Bre, who hadn't been talking the entire time. "Guess Bre's having too much fun to talk." I thought with a smile. I looked over at Dust, and smiled a sweet, innocent smile. I walked over to his side, and nudged him softly. "Having fun?" I asked, moving a bit closer to him. "I know I am. This is really bubbly." I say, giving him another slight nudge and laughing.

Senia kept staring down at the floor, not daring to look up. "Uh, yeah, that'd be nice." she said, smiling weakly. She then gulped, and took a deep breath. "Well, I can't really remember everything he said. But he said something about your family, and how you sold your soul to try and save them.. But it didn't work... And you have these powers and you could kill anypony you want or something. But now you help ponies move on when they die and stuff..." she explained, keeping her eyes glued to the same spot. "That's really all I can remember." Moon Beam moved closer to Steel, then picked her head up. Wiping her tears away with her wings, she smiled and laughed. "Astrid, you're such an amazing little filly." she said, looking up at her. She then turned to Steel, worry still filling her eyes. "But, I know Grell won't hurt her or anything, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about Senia hurting herself.." Moon Beam said looking back down at the ground. She wiped the last tears off of her face, then rested her head on Steel's shoulder. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to get her mind off of Senia and Grell.

I giggled and nodded at Dust. "Yeah, a lot actually. Looking very bubbly." I said. Closing my eyes momentarily, I could literally feel the mood in the room. With everypony dancing and laughing and having a great time, the room simply felt excited and energetic and happy. I laughed, then opened my eyes and looked at Dust. "He seems to have loosened up a bit. A lot more, brave and free." I thought, watching him dance. He looked like he was having fun. Looking down at his scarf, I got an idea. I grabbed it from him, and started waving it around in the air. I lifted up into the air and spun around, letting the scarf flap around freely. As I landed, I looked at Dust, and flashed a devious smile. "Why don't you come a bit closer?" I said, putting the scarf around his neck and pulling him towards me. We were face to face, and I giggled, looking into his eyes. "Better." I said, then wrapped the scarf around the rest of the way. I closed my eyes and laughed, the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Again, I got real close to his ear. "Did I ever tell you that you're really cute?" I asked, then pulled away a bit, but stayed inches away from his face, and smiled.

Okay this is amazeballs, and I want one soooo bad I would die if I could get this like omg its so bubbly So if somepony can tell me where I could possibly get one, I'd love you FOR.EV.ER. Like, no lie, I really would <3

Moon Beam stared at the portal as Hank walked in, then looked at Celestia. "I.. I don't know about this. I mean, you kind of just told me about this "World for Alicorns". And going there is kind of a big decision." she said, looking down at the necklace, then back to Celestia. "You can't just throw something like that at me and expect me to be all like 'Okay let's go!'. I need time to think about this, you know?" Moon Beam gave a sort of awkward smile, and backed up a few steps.

Moon Beam watched Grell take Senia into the cabin, with tears still in her eyes. Once the two were out of sight, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears from falling. However, that didn't help. Even closing them tighter didn't do anything other than hurt her eyes. When Steel came over and talked to her, she kept her head down. She didn't really move, and stayed silent. But by the time Frost had finished talking, she couldn't hold back anymore. She turned to Steel and put her head on his shoulder, finally letting herself cry. "I hope she's okay.." she said quietly. Senia was no longer very weak when Grell took her to the cabin. However, she was a bit groggy. She drank what he had given her gratefully, and didn't look up from the cup, even when she had finished it. When he asked about what she knew, she looked up at him, then quickly looked down to the floor. "A lot... Steel kind of accidentally blurted it out.. But hey, please don't be mad at him, it wasn't his fault. I kind of snapped at him, about you. And that's why he said anything about it..." she said, keeping her eyes glued to the floor. "I'm sorry, Grell.." she said quietly.

I smiled when Dust agreed to dance, and started dancing along to the beat of the song with him. With all the lights and the crowd and seeing Spacer in her element, this night was turning out to be amazing. Especially since I got to spend it with my new friends. I closed my eyes and danced, feeling amazing and free. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Dust dancing a bit awkwardly. I giggled and smiled at him. I walked up to him and got close to his ear. "You don't have to be so nervous, Dust. There's nothing to worry about. It's just me, you know." I said, then pulled back and gave him a sort of flirty look. "Just follow my lead, it's easy." I yelled, then began dancing again, keeping my eyes on his. I was dancing to the beat, feeling the vibrations from the speakers in my hooves. Adrenaline was rushing through my body, and the energy from every pony else was amazing. I couldn't help myself, and began dancing a bit more flirty than I had first intended on. I kept my gaze locked on Dust, smiling the entire time. "Loosen up a bit, Dust. Dancing is easier when you just go with the flow." I said, grinning a bit.

When Moon Beam heard what Grell had said, she looked at him, shocked. Her eyes immediately went to Steel, who fell. She was about to run to him, but stopped herself. That was a terrible idea. So she stood there, watching him get back up, then sighed. Senia weakly pushed herself up again, this time, she was actually standing. She was shaking a lot, but managed to stay standing for a while. She looked up at Grell, tears falling down her cheeks now. Moon Beam simply watched, tears in her eyes. She wanted more than anything to help Senia, but she couldn't stop her, since it would most likely make her worse. "Grell... I'm... I'm sorry..." she said, her voice weak and barely audible. Losing a lot of her strength from talking, she fell to the ground again, almost screaming in pain. Moon Beam turned her head away, not wanting to watch her friend struggle. She heard Senia shift in the grass again, but didn't look. She couldn't look, for fear of seeing her friend hurt herself again stopped her from moving at all. Senia was standing again, and took a step towards Grell, not caring if he hated her, or about what he had said, or anything. She took another shaky step, smiling a bit inside. "Grell.. I didn't mean-" Senia began, but felt another pain in her chest, and cringed. She fell again, holding her chest tightly. She looked up at him. She barely had any hope left, and seeing him the way he was made that even worse. Senia looked away. "I didn't mean... what I said." she managed softly.
