Pony Days Chapter 7: A Pony is a Forgiving Animal
Luna ran back to Charmy as soon as all the robots were defeated. "Charmy are you alright?" She asked. He smiled up at her.
"I'm fine, especially now that you can talk." He said. "Now we don't have to mess up the walls or make a mess inside of stores to talk to each other." Luna smiled warmly as she recalled the memories.
Luna lowered her head. "Hold onto my neck and I'll help you up." She offered. Charmy did as he was told and Luna raised her head so he could stand. He had trouble balancing so the princess allowed him to lean against her.
They both looked over to see Espio and Vector approach them. "Pack it up you two, we've got something going on inside." Vector told them. Espio glanced at Charmy as if checking to make sure he was alright but he quickly looked away before he made eye contact with either of them.
The two began walking towards the base. "Can you walk okay?" Luna asked Charmy. He gave a quick nod and the two began to slowly make their way to the building as well.
Luna and Charmy were following behind Espio and Vector. Luna wasn't sure wat was going on but trusted that the two wouldn't lead her and Charmy into any more danger. They walked into the lab where Decoe, Bocoe and the doctor were at work on some kind of device. Bokkun was sitting on a shelf and frowning at them.
Luna walked up behind the Chaotix. "What's going on?" She whispered. They both turned around.
"The doctor is sending you home." Vector said happily. Charmy smiled brightly at them.
"He is!?" He asked excitedly and Espio nodded.
"But why?" Luna asked. She wasn't sure why someone who wanted to use her and nearly killed her friends would just send her home.
"He had some encouragement." Vector said with a sly smile. Luna smiled.
"Thank you guys so much. I don't know what to say…" She said. Her eyes began to tear up. Espio quickly looked away.
"It's the least we owe you…" He mumbled. Eggman backed away from the device.
"It's ready." He said.
"Okay, give us a minute." Vector told him. Eggman rolled his eyes and leaned against the counter. Vector turned to Luna. "Luna I just wanted to apologize for treating you like an animal…" Vector said. Luna smiled.
"It is alright, it was reasonable mistake." She said forgivingly. She nearly choked when Charmy hugged her neck.
"I'm gonna miss you Luna!" Charmy said as he fought to hold back tears. Luna lay her head on his shoulder.
"I'm going to miss you too," Tears began to stream down her face, "friend." They stood like that for moments and Vector had to wipe tears from his eyes.
"I got something in my eyes, excuse me." Vector said and walked away from the group. Luna lifted her head and smiled at Charmy who smiled back at her.
"Luna…" She looked over to the chameleon who still refused to make eye contact. "I would like to speak to you… in private." She tilted her head curiously but she nodded. She brought Charmy to Vector who picked him up and then she followed Espio out of the room.
He had his back towards her but after a few quiet seconds he turned around. "Listen… I'm not that good at apologies-"
"You don't have to say anything." Luna said, she knew that it was hard for someone like him to do such a thing.
"Yes I do!" He growled. Luna was surprised. "I was selfish and refused to listen to you when you tried to communicate. Ninjas are supposed to be aware of their surroundings and pay attention to stuff like that, I failed…" He looked to the ground. "And I'm sorry."
A warm smiled spread across Luna's face. "I forgive you." She said. Espio finally made eye contact with her and for the first time she saw a light smile on his face. "Under one condition…"
"And what's that?" He asked.
"When I come back for a visit you guys will have to see me." Luna answered and Espio nodded.
"Sounds fair enough. But how will you get back?" He asked.
"If I got here once I can get here again." She said. Espio smiled and they both walked back into the room where there was an open blue portal waiting for the pony.
Espio joined his friends who were next to the portal and Luna walked in front of it. She looked back at her friends. "Goodbye and thank you for the help." She called and winked at Charmy.
"Bye!" They all called in unison.
"Be careful!" Charmy added. Luna nodded and walked through the portal. The portal was designed to read the DNA of the person who walked through it and send them to the planet they originated from. But it was only able to take one person and once Luna was through the machine lost power and died.
~Luna~
When Luna got through the portal it closed behind her. She looked around and immediately recognized that she was in the palace courtyard. It was night time in Equestria and the only sound was that of an owl perching in a tree close by. It was odd being in a familiar place but it made her feel calm and she sighed in relief.
"Princess Luna!" She looked over to see two royal guard running at her. "Princess Luna! You've finally returned!" They said happily. She smiled.
"Yes and I am well." She looked around. "Where is my sister?" She asked.
"She is in the castle, we will take you there immediately." They said and they led Luna into the castle and into the throne room.
"Sister!" Luna cried when she saw Celestia sitting in her thrown. Celestia looked around in surprise but once she saw Lina she smiled and jumped from her chair. They both nuzzled each other.
"Where have you been sister? I've searched all day and every day looking for you!" Celestia said.
"I'm terribly sorry sister but do I have a story to tell you." The two sat in their thrones and Luna began telling Celestia all about her exciting adventure.
~The Chaotix~
The Chaotix were riding home in a small motor boat that Vector had rented to get to the island. They were all quiet which was odd for the trio. "Do you think she made it home?" Charmy asked, breaking the silence. Vector smiled at him.
"I'm sure she did." He said. Espio looked away from the ocean and to Charmy.
"Charmy I apologize." He said quickly and looked away. Charmy smiled.
"Oooo! The mighty Espio apologizes." Charmy teased. Espio looked back at him with a smiled on his face.
"Yeah, and guess who's grounded for going to Eggman's base by himself." Espio retorted and Charmy's smile quickly faded.
"Aww! Come on Espio!" Charmy tried. Espio ignored his begging and looked back out to the sea, he was actually surprised to find that he couldn't wait to see the pony again and get to know her better.
~The Base~
"I say we send a missile out right now and blow them sky high!" Bokkun yelled furiously as he watched the Chaotix leave from the window. Eggman laughed which made all the robots look at him.
"Don't bother with those fools." Eggman said waving them off. "Why do we care about one pony when we can have all of them?" He said and began laughing again.
"What are you talking about?" Bokkun asked.
"I also programed this machine to track the co-ordinance of where the passenger went. I know exactly where the pony and her little friends are." Bokkun smiled as the doctor spoke. "Now all I'll have to do is figure out how to get there…"
~The End~
