Character(s): Luna and Jecht
Location: The Quad
Rating: PG-13 ish
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Luna has found out that her old buddy is around and decides to hang about and pester him in the best way she knows how.

Luna couldn't help her excitement as she perched herself on the stage, rolling onto her back and spreading her wings beneath her. This was the most 'fun' she would allow herself, grinning at the ceiling above her, amused about how familiar everything still was to her. Everything had barely changed, leaving her with her memories of what was around and how to get there.

Now it was a matter of waiting for Jecht to get there, knowing full well that she'd probably pester the man as much as she possibly could. He messed about just as much as she did, even if Luna never really let that side of her be seen to the general public.

Legs pulled in close to her body, tail flicking back and forth against the floor in anticipation.

"Heh. You know, I kinda think I don't like history."

Can you blame him? Once he'd found out Spira's own...

"Still, I guess a land of happy ponies can't be ALL bad. Probably a little less horrible than Spira."

"Oh shush, the history is very fascinating." Even if part of it involved how awful she'd been at one point. Whoops.

"Mmn. It is all rather nice other than the founding, Discord, my... little stunt as Nightmare Moon, and Discord's return."

"And all that ended well," Jecht said, mostly to himself.

He'd been told that his own story ended... decently, he supposed. But there was a difference between hearing it and living it. Till he did the latter, it was hard to believe things could get better.

"We would not think so. My time as Nightmare Moon ended with our being imprisoned on the moon for a thousand years, returning to seek vengeance upon my older sister, and an attempt to make it remain night forever."

If that was ending well, then she sure wondered what ending badly would look like.

"Though We suppose it did eventually lead to us being ripped of those evil times and being able to come back into society as ourself."

"Yeah, that's what I mean. In the end, despite all the stuff that happened, it worked out okay. You're here, not a monster, and you actually exist. Pretty good ending even if it was rough gettin' there," Jecht said with a thoughtful frown.

"Not being a monster is... questionable, considering how ponies continued to treat us and ran in fear of us. Who honestly knows how things will continue here, if We do not snap." She pauses a bit after that, tilting her head at him.

"We never did show you what that looked like, did We?"

"Nope, ya never did," he said, crossing his arms. "I was a little curious, though, I gotta admit... just wasn't gonna push it. It bugs you."

"Ah! It is no problem, We are able to change form between this and that at will. Even if it is a bit... odd to say." Comes with the territory of second most powerful magic pony thing or what have you.

Which, well, it really doesn't take long for her at all to get to that form, stretching her much larger wings out.

"... It does give me an idea, if you'd like to play along."

He blinked at the sudden transformation, though it really shouldn't surprise him. Luna was powerful... a lot more powerful than she let on. He could tell.

Curious, he walked a full circuit around this assumed form of hers, appraising it thoughtfully and comparing it to the Luna he knew.

Not surprising that he would do so and she'd certainly allow him to continue on with that little circuit. It was strange to have these wings again, stretching them to get used to them before hovering a bit above the ground. Ah, so much better.

"There are a few here who would remember me in this way, the things that had been done. But perhaps posing as a fake threat within the Garden could show that they are learning from someone worth their efforts in drama."

"Hmph. It ain't you," Jecht said, dismissing the form with those simply words as he came around front of her. "You'd get a kick out of that, though, wouldn't you?"

She had a wicked sense of humor. He liked that.

"Never said it was me. Perhaps I might age to look like this one day as my elder sister is about this tall." She shrugs a bit at him, though plops herself down to sit, hoof tapping lightly on the ground.

"And of course I would, it would make things a bit more... lively, don't you think?"

"Pfft, no way. Whatever this was, you're Luna, and you're gonna stay that way when you get older too." Jecht sounded absolutely sure of himself as he stuck out an elbow to lean on her head playfully.

"Not worried people might think you're really bad?"

"I meant appearance wise, I certainly won't become evil again, no intentions to do so." And give her a moment, going to huff at him and shake his elbow off. Stop that.

"Not at all. If anything, I know that the other ponies here can be used as support that I am not evil in the end."

"Heh, and ya got me to back you up in that too," he said, aborting his lean but going for the mane-ruffle instead.

And failing.

"Aww, c-- you can't stay like this. The other mane was cool, this one's just kinds goofy."

And there was the bonus to her mane in this form, no mane ruffling to be had. Hah.

"Of course. I sincerely do appreciate your back-up. And I may keep this form just to mess with you when you try that nonsense again. Though Celestia's is... far worse than this."

"Hmph. Seriously, though, I like your real you a lot better." Stop making him be all direct and stuff, Luna. It's embarrassing.

"Can't show you what I'm really like," he added after a moment. "I can't control it, if I change."

Time to play some games, it's a rare moment when she can get him in a state like this. "Aww. Is it because I'm absolutely adorable in my other form, or is it because I'm so sweet, or tiny, or nice?"

"You're a brat no matter what you look like!" he said, giving her a gentle shove. "Now I ain't sayin' anything!"

"Still older than you are, I am not the brat here!" She huffed back at him, shoving him back. "Oh come on, tell me~"

"You ACT like a brat, I don't care how old ya are! Besides, you're not even totally grown up yet, right? I'm way older than you at heart!" he said, crossing his arms.

"Oh shush, that is beside the point. Just because you at like an old man doesn't mean you're mature."

"Hey, I'm totally mature! Star athlete, wife and kid, I'm the most responsible mature adult in this whole Garden!"

...by those standards, he really was, too. How damn depressing was that?

Very depressing, in all honesty.

"How depressing that you're such a star and yet are already taken from the world. At least I can be assured that I'll stay a single mare for the rest of my lifetime. No time to be a princess, royalty, and in charge of the moon with those things holding me down."

"Hmph. If I could do it while bein' a blitzball star, you could do it while doin' those things." Obvious which role he considered the most intensive, right? "Figure you're more lacking... y'know, male ponies here."
