"Well, well, I do believe that's a wrap on our magic duel, Moony. Goodness me, you're so adorable right now, I could just gobble you right up-!"

"Do not patronize me, witch. You haven't won-I'll best you yet!" Moondancer squeaked indignantly, kicking in vain with his teeny mouse paws. His voice had become quite high-pitched and cute, though it seethed with self-righteous fury.

Pandora blinked. "Moondancer, dearie....you've been turned into a field mouse. Own up to it. Certainly this is game over-I mean, can you even shapeshift yourself back to normal?"

Moondancer glanced up at his nub of a horn, and for a moment, he struggled to call upon his magic, cheeks turning pink with exertion. Finally, his horn lit, then made a small sputtering sound, and he panted.

"....No." He folded his mouse arms with a huff. He pointedly didn't look at her.

"Well." Pandora smiled, amused. "I could change you back, I suppose. On the condition that you promise not to fire magical lightning at me when I'm just trying to order an oatburger. Really, a sneak attack at lunchtime? Moony, Moony, Moondancer, I thought you had better manners than that."

Moondancer glared at her, twitching his whiskers. "A true mage would never let their guard down. A magic duel can strike at any moment. You should have been prepared."

"Uh huh. And what about the oatburger cook? You destroyed half his restaurant's drywall work."

"Irrelevant." Moondancer said darkly. "Darkness will fall on whomever stands in the way of my rightful victory. I won't rest until I defeat you, she-beast. I will not rest until all of ponykind stands awed and cowed before the great and powerful Moondanc-"

"Blah blah, ultimate sorcerer, blah blah descendant of Starswirl, blah. Geez, Moony, you're a broken record. Y'know, I'd eat you, but I bet a grumpy little mouse like you would give me crazy indigestion."

"I'm not afraid of you." Quite warily, Moondancer eyed the great serpent's sharp fangs. "R-release me, witch."

"Alrighty. Good luck figuring out how to shapeshift back into a big snobby stick-up-your-bum unicorn." Pandora released him, and he dropped to the ground.

"Oh, I relish the challenge, she-demon." Moondancer balled his little fists, defiant....before looking down uncertainly at his paws. "...There must be a textbook on this sort of thing somewhere."

"I'm sure. Well it's been fun, but I do have an oatburger to eat. If I can even find the damned thing in the rubble from your magic blast." Pan had begun slithering away, thoroughly annoyed. Moondancer called after her, mortified and furious.

"This isn't over! I'll get you!" He squeaked, stomping a paw. "Our next duel will see you defeated, I swear on Starswirl's ghost!"

Pandora turned and winked. "Sounds like a date, Marshmallow. Bring it on." And she snickered when it elicited another round of angry, red-faced sputtering.

"Honestly, Moondancer, you never learn."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as adults, Moondancer challenges his rival Pan to lots of random magic duels. He's never won and that really, really rankles him

Pan finds it half amusing, half annoying, and really wishes Moondancer would drop the noble crusader thing and that they could just go back to being friends again
related:

i realized i haven't shown much of Pan's shapeshifting abilities. She loves becoming various animals, with snakes, big cats, gerbils, and chickens being her favorites. She's also fond of magicking Moondancer into various cute rodents when he tries picking fights
