Comments by background ponies aren’t changed after a merge though (so if you comment on both images as a background pony, the number won’t change to show both comments are by the same person).

REAL ANSWER: Sorry, dude, but… sighs Unfortunately, this artist seems NOT interested putting Moondancer in this pic because there’s NOT enough space in this pic right now, of course, I have counted how much marefriends that Twilight obtains here, which I guess that 4 marefriends should be enough now for temporarily, if we want 5 with Moondancer, then this NEEDS more background space in it so she can fit in there, same thing even if you are talking about Moondancer and the Mane Five (Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy) to be Twilight’s marefriends as well (that makes 11 marefriends! How cool is that?), then NEEDS to expand EVEN MORE space than before which this needs an extra edit or re-draw, so this is your ACTUAL answer now, the other three just lying at you and I beat them into a piece of shit, we’ll honor Moondancer X Twilight Sparkle in the next art piece.
