Butterfly Effect (Out For Dinner) (Patreon)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Star was saying goodbye to Pony Head as she was going home and she really did want to stay, but she said she needed to have a little talk with her daddy. It was after breakfast, but I could still fell a little tired from last night because for a horse with no body, she moves around a lot in her sleep. I even almost fell asleep in the shower with them, but I snapped out of my thoughts when Pony Head came over to the couch then kissed my forehead a few times before she nuzzled into me.

Pony-Don't worry, i'll have a chat with my daddy then i'll come right back over and take you and Star out to the bounce longue, so don't even think about going out partying with anyone else. You got me for that. Later!

She rushed out the door and Star waved her goodbye before she closed the door then came over to me. She sat on the couch before she pulled me onto her lap then I saw my mom and dad come in and it looks like they were both off today. I already did way too much to want to do anything, so I really just wanted a lazy day, but that's when my mom and dad sat next to us.

Mommy-Sweetie, we're gonna go out to eat tonight. All of us, so where do you wanna go?

(Y/N)-Um... how about that Chinese place downtown? I love their orange chicken.

Star-What's orange chicken?

(Y/N)-It's really good with rice or noodles and there are all kinds of other foods you get with your meal.

Daddy-Alright, we'll go tonight. Be sure to be ready to leave by 7.

I was really excited and Star tried to guess some of the foods by what she had here before and I told here that there was no nachos or anything like that at this restaurant. We just played some games and relaxed and get to go out for a good dinner.

(Y/N)'s mind-No adventure, no crazy stuff, and no blowing stuff up... This is a good lazy day.

(Moon's POV)

I just had Eclipsa locked in her room which she was really calm about, but I don't trust her and this was all just so stressful. I had no idea how I was going to tell the high commission this and I had time to figure this out on my own, but I can't think under all this stress and I love my husband, but I can't do with a loose cannon right now... The answer was clear, so I went to my room to get changed in secret then looked in the mirror while grabbing a pair of dimensional scissors. This make up felt even odder on my skin, but it does hide the dark markings on my arms.

<figure></figure>

I should be able to blend in better with this outfit that I had a servant secretly get me from the earth dimension, but I thought I looked a little odd. I shook that thought to place a mental note to check on Eclipsa by the hour before I opened a portal directly to my daughters room to see nobody was in here, but I heard noises out of the door, so I left to go into the hall then down into a living room where I saw my daughter and... son doing something on what I believe was called a Television before they turned to see me.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

Star-Mom? What are you doing here... and what are you wearing?

Moon-I thought I would blind in more while i'm here. I was hoping to do something with the 2 of you.

(Y/N)-Well... we're going out for dinner tonight. You wanna come?

Moon-I did enjoy the select foods in this world. Would it be the same as last time?

They both tried to explain the food they were going out for tonight and (Y/N) did a bit of a better job, but I still had questions about this "Chinese food". Regardless I accepted the invitation and told them I would have no problem paying for it as well given an invitation. We went over it with the parents and I could just feel it in my heart that I prefer they not come, but I guess it can't be helped.

Moon's mind-I never really dined in a public place before. The most I have was with other royal figure heads... He said it was still a nice place, so it should be fine.

With that I left to go deal with my other problem since I had an escape for the night, so i'll just tell River I have queen business to attend to tonight.

(Timeskip To Night)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Right now my mommy was dressing me since what Star had in mind was not for this place and even if I do love it a lot, they are kinda strict on rules. Clothes is not one of them, but my mommy and daddy like to dress for places like this even if it's not suit and tie fancy. Soon we saw Star come in and she looked really fancy and pretty like she was going to a school dance in high school or something,... but she didn't look too happy.

<figure></figure>

Daddy-Star, you know we aren't going to a place that fancy, right? You didn't have to dress up like this.

Star-I didn't really want to.

Mommy-Then why did you?

She stepped out of the way then we saw Moon was here and she looked dressed too. My parents knew she was coming and offered to pay, so they said yes.

<figure></figure>

Moon-Greetings. I just thought there was no harm in dressing up a little for the night out. I brought more than enough to pay, so feel free to get what you desire to eat tonight.

We all started to go and we took the care that was a little tight squeeze in the back because of the dressed and I was in the middle of Star and Moon. It felt like they were leaning into me on purpose or maybe their dresses took up room by the doors, but when we made it to the restaurant we got out of the car and went inside. The only weird part was before my mommy grabbed my hand, I saw Moon try to grab it first then pulled away while looking at my mom with no emotion on her face.

(Eclipsa's POV)

It was rather nice to be in my own room again and the view of the garden at night with the candles lit and everything outside was breath taking. Moon should be back later for her hourly check up on me to make sure I wasn't up to anything evil and it was kinda fun to tease her about it a little, but if I was being honest with myself, it was rather lonely in here. My daughter was no doubt dead of age, my husband was still trapped in his crystal, but i'm sure my daughter had a good life as a princess and I believe I can free my husband. Later I noticed Moon was a bit late and she never late before then I remembered she looked rather well dressed when I do believe we have no events tonight. I just looked into my mirror in my room covered in a bit of vines with only one question on my mind.

<figure></figure>

Eclipsa's mind-I wonder what she's doing?

(Moon's POV)

I was sitting next to Star on one side of the table while (Y/N) was in the middle of his parents on the other side even when my daughter offered for him to sit with us. It was rather annoying to say the least and even if this food was delicious I could hardly enjoy it. Everything suddenly rushed in my head as well as thoughts of me doing very violent things to (Y/N)'s parents right here on the spot to just take him by force, but then I remembered it was well past the hour mark I wanted to do that was very important...

Moon's mind-Eclipsa!

I had to think of an excuse to leave the table for a moment.

Moon-Please pardon me, but I have to use the wash room.

((Y/N)'s POV)

Moon just left the table after she stared at my parents a lot and Star was still doing it too. After a bit I had to go too because after 3 cups of lemonade, it went right through me, so I poked my daddy a bit to get his attention.

(Y/N)-I'll be back. I have to go to the bathroom.

Daddy-Alright, hurry back. Can't let your food get too cold.

I got out of my chair and left the table to go to the bathroom before it was too late and I just barely made it. After I was done I just washed my hands then dried them with an air drier before I left the bathroom, but on the way back I saw the janitor's closet was cracked open with a crazy glow inside. I peaked inside just to see what it was and when I got a better look I saw it was a portal, so I opened the door all the way. The only ones I know can make a portal right now were Star and...

(Y/N)-Moon?

(Eclipsa's POV)

Moon looked rather nice with her hair down, but I wonder why she would look like that after all this time if I saw paintings of her with her hair up. She left the room for a moment to "go grab something", so I was all alone again and what makes this bad on her is that she left the portal open because she seemed in a rush to go back. I have no desire to cause problems for myself and besides, I have everything I need right here, but suddenly I heard someone come through the portal and I wasn't expecting this out of all things.

<figure></figure>

He just looked at me kinda surprised and this small child only made it to my waist, maybe a tad bit lower. Him being here was no doubt an accident, but it would be best not to frighten him after he was already on edge. I slowly walked over to him, but kept a bit of distance.

Eclipsa-Hello little one, are you lost by chance?

???-I-I-... Um... I'm looking for queen Moon?

Eclipsa-Moon?... What are you looking for her for? From what I saw and heard, she only had a daughter.

???-... What is this place?

Eclipsa-Oh, it's my room slash cell.

???-Cell?... Prison cell?!

Eclipsa-Oh, don't fret too much. I have no intentions on causing harm to you. I'm sure Moon will return... At least to close the-.

Just then the portal closed, so I guess it was closed on the other side by Moon.

Eclipsa-... Portal.

(Moon's POV)

I triple checked with the staff here if some woman walked by wearing a purple dress, but they have seen nobody like that after I closed the portal. Eclipsa might be playing some kind of mind game by waiting for me to let down my guard, but I won't let that happen. I just went back to the table and I saw (Y/N) was not there anymore, but everyone was still eating. I looked at my daughter as she looked at me then past me to the wash rooms I just came from as I sat down then turned to the parents.

<figure></figure>

Moon-Where's (Y/N)?

(D/N)-He just went to the bathroom. I guess the spicy kung poa chicken was too much for him.

Moon's mind-He went where now?!

I was trying not to panic and made sure the portal was hidden before I closed it, so there was no way and it was best not to cause a scene. I would wait a bit before I try to find a way to send Star to check for us and I will need to give her my scissors too.

(Eclipsa's POV)

I assured Moon would be back in an hour at the most to take him home and he was scared that I was a prisoner at first, but just like a certain little blue creature I know, a head scratch made most of the worries melt away. It was honestly adorable and brought life into this lonely room as I had him on my lap with him melting into my touches. It was almost like I had a chance to be a mother after my last opportunity was ripped away from me, but if i'm going to only have them for an hour at best... Why hold back.

Eclipsa-Pardon me, but it seems we haven't introduced each other as of yet. My name is Eclipsa. Care to tell me yours?

???-... (Y/N).

Eclipsa-What an adorable name for an adorable boy.

When I said that he just blushed for me and I couldn't help, but giggle which made him blush even harder.

Eclipsa-Awwww, just look how pink they are. I could just poke and pinch them.~

That got even more pink then even more so when I made good on my word to play with his cheeks. He soon got off my lap then tried his best to stop blushing and look tough, but I could still see a hint of pink in those cheeks.

(Y/N)-L-Listen to me! I know what you're doing, so don't think I don't!

Eclipsa-What am I doing then?~

(Y/N)-Y-You're tr-trying to escape by using me, but it won't work!

Eclipsa-If I was trying to escape, why didn't I go through the portal left in my room even before you came through?

(Y/N)-... Um... Because...

Eclipsa-I think you're just flustered that a beautiful woman thinks you're fun to play with... Little cutie.~

His cheeks went back to blushing and I went over to him and scooped him into my arms and he was very easy to hold too. When I looked into his eyes with a calm smile he just tried to hide his face in his hands to hide his blush.

Eclipsa-Awwww, don't hide that cute little face of yours. That should be a crime worthy of being locked up too.~

(Y/N)-*Whine*!

I opened his fingers a little to peek at me, but I just took this chance to give him a little kiss and not even his hands could hide his blushing anymore. This feeling in my chest is something I haven't felt in... well hundreds of years even if it only felt like days.

Eclipsa's mind-... I'm sure Moon doesn't care that much if she hasn't come back for you yet... I would also love a little snuggle companion tonight.~

I just took him to my couch since my bed was invested to lay down with him, but he was shifting a lot before he looked to the bathroom in here, so I let him go and he went running to it while closing the door. Soon after a portal opened up again then someone else walked in, but it wasn't Moon.

<figure></figure>

Eclipsa-Ah, you must be Moon's daughter, yes? Star Butterfly?

Star-I'm looking for a little boy named (Y/N). Is he here?

Normally I would tell the truth, but the thought of losing him to spend a lonely night in here... I was greatly wronged, so perhaps they owe my something and... I want him. The bathroom door was very thick for privacy reasons, so he shouldn't hear us.

Eclipsa-I'm sorry to say, but it's just me. I did see a little boy come through the last portal, but he panicked at the sight of me and ran back through.

Star-You better not be lying... My mommy will come back in here.

Eclipsa-Well, tell Moon that for leaving a portal open to let a child walk through, she is lucky I would not dare dream of doing such a act. Strangers can be rather unpredictable, you know.

She gave me a little look before she did a quick scan around the room before she walked back through the portal. I should be ashamed, but honestly... a smile curved on my face that I couldn't wipe off then my bathroom door opened to show my gift after all my suffering.

<figure></figure>

Eclipsa's mind-Such an adorable sight. Such a shame your cheeks aren't blushing anymore... We'll just have to fix that, now won't we?~

(Hekapoo's POV)

I had everything all ready to go for (Y/N) to live with me at the castle even if the others got on my case about adding a few things to my room that I barely use. I just never had a reason to settle down in it before since I had my own place in another dimension like them and we only use these when we have to stay close to work. I just wasn't comfy with (Y/N) being in the same room as lava I use to make dimensional scissors. When I made it to his home he wasn't there, so I guess he was out and I can just come get him later tonight while he's asleep. I just went back to the castle to just walk around and kill time, but soon I saw something weird... There was a light on in a certain tower that was closed off a long time ago.

Hekapoo's mind-What the?

I decided to check it out by making portals where I could get a good look in from a distance then did a few angels before I saw something that not only surprised me, but made my heart sink.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

Hekapoo's mind-Eclipsa's free?!... AND SHE HAS MY BABY?!?!?!

((M/N)'s POV)

We were still eating and I had no idea what was taking (Y/N) so long and his food was gonna get cold, but just then we saw Star coming back and she looked mad while gripping her wand that started to glow.

<figure></figure>

Star-Strawberry scented sleepy fog!

She blew a fog all around the restaurant just missing us then everyone else went to sleep, leaving only the four of us awake in this place filled with the fog still just holding back from us.

Moon-Star, what are you doing?!

Star-He wasn't with Eclipsa or in the bathroom!

Moon-Did you search her room?!

Star-He would've said something or I would've saw a sign!

Moon-She could've done something!

Star-She doesn't have a wand for magic and there was no hiding places in that room! You're the one that left that stupid portal open!

I couldn't believe what I was hearing and neither could my husband that they lost my son and dared argued about it in front of us without giving us a look. I slammed my hands down on the table which grabbed their attention after they were already angry with each other.

(M/N)-What did the 2 of you do?! Where is my son?!

(D/N)-You better explain yourselves!

Star-... Shut. Up.

(M/N)-Excuse me?! I will be getting the police involved and I want you out of my house tonight! You're not even allowed near my home or family again! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!?!?!?!

They both looked down with grim looks on their faces before Moon stood up as well then she... changed right in front of us before we started to float in the air.

<figure></figure>

Moon-It is you who needs to understand me... Let's have nice talk.

(No POV)

Meanwhile while Eclipsa was laying down and cuddling (Y/N) a portal opened and while (Y/N) was happy to see if he was going home, Eclipsa was unwilling to give him to Moon or Star or anyone for that matter, but who she saw was someone she hasn't seen in a long time and neither were happy to see each other.

<figure></figure>

(Y/N)-Hekapoo?!

Hekapoo-... Give him to me... Now.
