Moondancer's homely cottage

[Silver Shadow]

Moondancer looked up at the sky and sighed. It had been a while since she had seen a full sunset, one of the disadvantages to living in a forest was that the trees blocked out bits of the spectacular view. She looked at her little home. The cottage was covered with vines that had pinkie little flowers. Her garden held a simple pond complete with birdbath and mini-waterfall and the flowers growing there were beautifully arranged. Though it was pathetic compared to the castle, Moondancer thought, but it had that special warmth. Besides the fact it was neat and tidy, exactly the way she wanted.

I've been alone for far too long she thought. I wonder if anyone misses me at Ponyville... actually I miss them. I hate this loneliness... Oh dear. It is getting late. She yawned and walked into her cottage and locked the door. Her hair was no longer very neat after a days work of cleaning. Ych! Look at my hair!... I'll get that done later on tonight. I'll polish those earings too...I'm too tired now. Removing her ear rings from her ears, she gracefully trotted over to her neat bed, placed the earings on the dressing table along with all her other jewellery and layed down before falling into a deep sleep... dreaming... memories of Ponyville and... and... z.z.z.z.z

Moondancer opened her eyes. What time is it?... She looked at her clock. It read 6:00pm. Yawning, she slid out of her bed and arranged it neatly. After doing that she caught a glipse of her hair in the dressing table mirror and frowned. "Ych! Look at that! its gotten worse." But that didn't matter, she loved doing her hair anyway.

She got out all her hair accessories which were all arranged neatly in a portable bag, grabbed her pinkish towel, and made her way to her very small but very clean, blue bathroom. It was in no time, she was in the bathtube and washing her hair, putting in alot of shampoo and conditioner which she left in her hair for some time. After some 5 of so minutes, she washed the conditioner out and dried off. Wrapping up her hair in the towel, she clened up the bathroom. "Lovely." She said satisfied. Drying her hair off with a hair dryer, she spent the next 20 minutes brushing and curling her hair until it was very close to perfect shiny curls. Smiling she took out all her jewellery, which almost reached a total of 200 and "cleaned" the ones that seemed to need that. Until that was done, the loneliness of the cottage had got to her.

"That's it." Moondancer said while placing the last braclet into the secret drawer for her horde of jewels, gold and silver. Making sure that they were safe and that all of them were there. She locked the drawer, hid the key and then sat down. Looking around the room was perfect... but quiet. "I can't take this anymore." she whispered to her self. "I can't stay cooped up in this room. I can't become a hermit, I'm not that type of pony... I'm even talking to myself. I'm sure it won't hurt to visit all my... to visit Ponyville again..." She got up and made her way to the door. "Oh wait." She walked back, grabbed the keys, got some silver earings and put them on. "That's better." She said with a small smile.

Walking out of the cottage and locking the door, Moondancer hid the keys before she made her way to Ponyville, unsure of what was to come.

((1400 posts and I spent it on Moondancer ))

Moondancer unlocked the door and walked in quietly. It had been a long day it seemed. Yes, it was the festival tonight, but Moondancer was in no mood to celebrate at the moment. Instead, she'd rather rest for a change; it had been very busy afterall.

She headed over to her dressing table and placed down the moonstone and the little sac with the moonstone seeds (which she would come to plant when the time was right. And she wanted to plant some in the castle, once it was repaired and she moved back in). She took out the roses from her hair, and took some time admiring the Moonrose Dark had given her. She smiled as she moved the delicate flower into the light; it shimmered, though she knew it was sparkle far more splendidly on a fullmoon.

"Ahh... Dark..." Moondancer murmured followed by a soft surprised "ohh...". The blue mare thought about what she had just said; but sooner moved the thought to the side to puzzle over it later. She grabbed a water-filled vase and placed the Moonrose inside it carefully. Stepping back, she looked at it and smiled.

((and yeah, I think that's it from Moondancer for now. I'll move to the jump once the others are done. i.e. Moony, Dreamer, Ocasta.))

Dark was searching the country side at the moment. The summer air was plesent on his body, since he wasn't in his ninja garb. Today he was wearing a blue vest, letting his toned muscles get some air. The country side was just as nice, too. The wind picked up, teaseing his fire colored locks as he passed nature by, savoring the enviroment and reminding himself of just what it was he wanted to protect when he took up the path of the Ninja. "There you go again, Dark, letting your thoughts run off with you..." He mused to hmself as he walked, until he spoted a small hut nearby.

Pauseing, he blinked a moment before he walked towards it in curiosity. "I wonder who lives out here in the wild?" Gently, Dark gave the door a few taps.

Moondancer went through the numerous boxes set out around her room, trying to look for a pair of earrings. She was going to move out soon and had started packing up all her gear. Boxes full of clothes, accessories, etc. where in random places around the room and the blue mare did not like it because she felt unorganised.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to sell the cottage and move into the castle. She loved the Celebration Castle, but she had also fallen for this little house of almost a year. She was looking at each of the boxes and reading their labels when she heard the door knock.

I wonder who has come across my home... She thought, slightly surprised and curious. She didn't often get random visitors. Moondancer walked over to the door and opened it alittle, and jumped in surprise.

"Dark!" She said, blushing the hair out of her eyes. "What a pleasant surprise!" Bother, my hair isn't done up! and the house a mess She thought to herself. How embarrassing...

[Shadow]

Dark's neon green eyes nearly fell out of his head as he stumbled back in shock. "Uh, Lady Moondancer!" Dark's thoughts were always about her the past few months; It worried Kenshin time to time that he was a bit distracted durring training. Never did it cross the ninja's mind that he'd be walking up to the very home of the one he started dreaming of after loseing Karma; He was over that loss by now. She had moved on, so now he will.

He recovered from his shock quickly, smileing at her in that charming way of his. "Well, of all my experiences, this one is the most enjoyable surprize I've ever had. I should have realised such a homely little cabin would have been the home of one so lovlly as yourself." Dark was ignoring the fact her hair was a mess altogther; He was more interested in that shining personality of her's.

[Silver Shadow]

Moondancer smiled, and allowed herself to blush and flutter her eyelashes a bit. It was a long time since she had felt anything as close as to what she felt at the moment. Yet, she had to admitt she was glad that she's gotten the chance to talk to Dark again.

"Thankyou." she said, nodding her head politely. "Though, I think should point out that this cabin may end up empty, and no longer my home. I'm going to be moving into the Celebration Castle, now that it has been repaired. I am uncertain of my decision though; I've become fond of this place, and the roses."

She glance at her garden, full of large roses of many colours, though her obvious favourites were the sparkling blue moon roses. She was proud of her garden, especially the moon roses which Dark had given to her in Winter, though she had never let many ponies see them.

[Shadow]

Dark also looked at the roses, only to smile and nod his head. "Yes, it would apper that they have been receiveing much care. A thing that they've most likely enjoyed, aside from it being your delicate hooves that have tended them. I admit, I'm rather envious." Dark chuckled a bit before he turned back to her.

"Moving? From such a homely little aboud? I'd feel sad if you left such a quant and peaceful location... After all, it isn't as far from my new Dojo that I run with Kenshin. But the castle? Think of how many others you would be living by; The confined space may even drive you to the point of feeling a void of emptyness inside." Dark turned away, the stalion's eyes downcasted. "I should know; I was confined to a plalce once, and agienst my free will."

He shook off his gloom quickly, before smileing again. "Well, if you do not find the castle to your liking, you can always move into the Dojo; If not, Kenshin and I will tend this cottage for you till you return. Would that be much more pleaseing?"

[Silver Shadow]

The mare couldn't help but beam at the comment. She didn't think that she was caring for the moon roses correctly, but since they seemed to be as lovely as ever, she assumed everything was alright.

"I know... I mean it is a lovely little location, and I was very lucky to have it. But before all this, I did live in the castle. My childhood memories are in it, and other cherishable memories... and I enjoy the company of other ponies and such..." She fell quiet, noting Darks actions, but his mood soon changed.

She managed a smile. "Thankyou for the offer, but my decision on whether or not I will move hasn't been made completely yet. I need to go see SunnyD about it. I'll tell you once I make up my mind though."

::EDIT::

She was about to ask Dark about how the Dojo was running when she heard a beeping from her mobile (or cell phone).

"Excuse me a moment." She said with a smile and a bob of the head. She made her way through the room of boxes to get to her phone and read the reminder. Ahh, yes, I best go before I forget. Though to be more truthful, she didn't want to just drop the conversation with Dark or leave him for that matter. It wasn't all that important... but she didn't want to forget and leave it to later on.

"I'm sorry, but I have to get going." she said with a slight frown and with reluctancy. "I'm going to have another look at the castle and check the rooms again. It has been a lovely surprise to see you again, I do hope we can meet up at some stage later."

When Dark left, she got herself prepared and hair done, and left.
