>Be day night in Everfree Forest
>be trotting through tall grass, searching for flowers to take delectable golden juices from
>see brief glimpse of light off to the right
>you don't exactly remember there being light such as this in Everfree
>curiosity piqued at the thought of a new light source, you decide to investigate
>(lights may or may not be your fetish)
>slowly and quietly, you gingerly place one hoof in front of the other
>you remember old mares tales about eldritch creatures deep beneath the sea, luring prey into their maw with light
>hopefully, those didn't exist
>hopefully, they didn't have legs
>as you sneak, you can make out the light just up ahead
>on closer inspection, the luminous shape seems to be a silhouette of a crescent moon
>it's almost as if a bit of the moon had just decided to go on down to earth
>so shiny....
>so warm....
>so...
>...inviting...
>in a light-induced trance, you shuffle inaudibly over to the gleaming crescent
>they said you would never touch the moon
>they said the moon doesn't actually emit light
>jokes on them now
>you're right up next to it now
>this is it
>you attempt to wrap your hooves around it...

>Be Princess of the Night
>be enjoying a walk in the calm Everfree forest
>no lantern because Nightprincess vision spell
>you suddenly hear a small, nigh soundless breaking of a branch behind you
>suddenly, something grabs your flank
>Nightprincess vision fails
>as you tense up and your eyes widen in surprise more than terror, you set your horn to "stun"
>you take aim at the thing that grasps your rump
>as you adjust aim, the light from the bony appendage you have illuminates the thing
>it's a pony
>whut.png
>it has wings coated with dust, with bizarre patterns
>wat.jpg
>it has what appears to be two tiny feelers attached to its head
>it's feeling you up with said appendages
>ohcelestiawhy.gif
>you go full canterlot royal voice on this "mo-fo," as the youth today call it
"WHY HAST THOU SEIZED OUR HINDQUARTERS?!"
>scare the shit out of tiny molester
>it jumps at least seven feet in the air
>it lands with a large 'WHUMP'
>you hear it call out, in a squeaky kind of voice:
>"PLEASEDONTEATMEIHAVESOMUCHLIGHTTOENJOYMRELDRITCHHORROR"
>pony is sentient, not primative
>you stare at the small form that shivers before you
>the stun spell quickly turns to an illumination spell
>you get a better look
>it appears to be some kind of mixture of an insect and a pony, with a pair of brown wings, and what apears to be another pair of wings behind those, colored orange
>the pony also seems to have a light grey-brown sort of coat, with extra fluff on the chest and around the hooves
"...What are you?," you somewhat awkwardly say
>"...I-I'm a m-mothpony....," the small asssailant says
"..would you care to answer my previous question about my rump?"
>being away for so long doesn't help social skills
>"I..uh..it looked like a very pretty light from this angle!," the mothpony says defensively
>you both blush
"... We must never speak of this to anypony, nor any moth for that matter."
>The minute creature nods in agreement, then speaks
>"But before you go, could I have your name?"
>wynaut.png
"You may adress me as Luna. Princess Luna, if you wish."
>"Princess? Alright then... my name is Mellilla! I would give you my full name, but it's a mouthfull."
>you both stand around a bit, not knowing how to give farewells
>"Well... see you later then."
>Mellilla takes off with a couple flaps of the wings, leaving you by yourself
>you thank your sister in a hushed tone, the awkwardness was palpable
>it's time to take some classes in social interactions, Luna
