I felt warm and comfortable and tried to resist waking up fully. If I wake up, I need to face everything going on and I really didn't want to do anything of the sort right now. I just wanted to stay right where I was.
Instead I nuzzled closer to the warm pony with me, holding her tighter with my forelegs.
A small groan came from her and she shifted, rolling over and cuddling closer in turn, "Is it morning?" she mumbled.
I recognized that voice. That's Sparks. Why is Sunset speaking with Sparks' voice?
My mostly asleep brain mulled that one over for a while before coming with the conclusion that the most likely answer was that it was Sparks, not Sunny that was speaking.
But that means that the pony I was cuddling was Sparks, not Sunny.
I risked opening one eye slightly.
Yep, purple.
I closed my eye again. Where are my hooves? Where's my wings?
All in safe places.
Buck it, too comfortable and waaay too sleepy.
Besides, not like Sunset haven't cuddled like this with Luna before, I'm the one that's stupid about these things, not anypony else. And right now it feels like they are really the ones that had the right idea about things.
"Dunnow," I grumbled against her mane, "...you check."
"Donwanna," Sparks mumbled with a sigh, "You open your eyes."
"No, you do it. I'm nocturnal."
"You're facing the window."
I groaned and sighed softly. "...If neither of us check, it's clearly still night and we can sleep for longer."
"Sounds good to me," Sparks agreed sleepily and sighed softly, shifting against me to get comfortable, nuzzling in against my neck.
I shifted my wing, slipping it around her and holding her a bit closer as I buried my nose into her mane. I wasn't sure how long we stayed like that, I may have drifted off for a bit too. But it was warm, comfortable and she smelled nice.
A door opened and the bed shifted slightly, "Seriously? You're still asleep?" Sunset asked and settled down behind Sparks, "It's almost noon!"
Sparks made a small sound of protest, nuzzling closer to me, hiding her face against my coat as I forced my eyes open to look at Sunset,
"Too early."
Sunset shook her head and then shifted to give me a kiss, "Okay, get up you lazy bat. Seriously, it's noon, I have been up for four hours and so has Midnight. We're about to head out to lunch!"
Sparks whined softly, "But sleepy and warm..."
"Outside is cold and horrible and light and that's where the stupid ponies are!" I agreed with a groan against Twilights mane..
The other alicorn nodded and cuddled closer, nuzzling in beneath my chin.
Sunset facehooved as she got up, "Oh for...up! Up!" she said and bounced on the bed, "Twi, get up! I'm hungry!"
I groaned and then sighed, forcing my eyes open to glower up at the cheery unicorn, "That's it… Sparks, wanna dump the unicorn and get together instead?"
"Right now, yes," Sparks grumbled before she pulled back and rolled onto her stomach, yawning as she raised her wings high before she struggled up to rub her eyes with a hoof for a second. She then sighed and leaned in to give Sunset a small kiss, "Pest."
Sunset kissed back a bit smuggle before she poked my side, "You too!"
I glowered at her before sitting up and suppressing a yawn, blinking to try to clear them before I shook my head and gave her a small kiss too, "...Good morning to you too, Sunny," I said before I suppressed another yawn, "Uhm... you said something about food?"
Sunset nodded with a smile, "Was talking to Midnight and we were thinking we'll all head out for lunch? Pick up Tempest on the way."
Sparks nodded, "Sounds good," and turned her head, nosing along her wing and starting to work her feathers into order before she sighed, "I need a shower first. How long do I have?"
"Less than if you got up when I did."
"Fine!" Sparks exclaimed and sighed, jumping off the bed, heading for the bathroom.
"I could actually use one too," I admitted, flexing my wings, "But I'm not getting wet before going out when it's freezing out, magic drying or not."
Sunset scooted up and sniffed at my neck before she shook her head, "No, you're good. You smell a bit like Twi though. Have you been sleeping with my girlfriend?" she teased.
"You're not as funny as you think you are," I told her, resting my horn against hers as I looked into her eyes.
"Yes I am," she said with a smile as she met my gaze, "So?"
"...So," I admitted, "It hasn't been fair that you bounce between me and Sparks. I can just as easily join you two some nights, assuming you can stand my stupid sleeping shedule once things go back to normal."
Sunset nodded, "I think we can deal, wingboy."
These chapters make me feel lonely
All aboard the pity parade!
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
"S-s-shut up!"
Page is gonna get shipped with everyone by the end of this.

I think that was the plan from the beginning ngl. Next Up? Definitely Celestia.
Nice. So… the way this is going he‘ll have 3 of the 4 Princesses. And to be fair, Cady is just a matter of time. (And Alicorns have more than enough time)
10495296
By the end?
Isn’t that what we‘re already doing for the last 3 Books? 😂
I‘m still waiting for Silver to get more „Screentime“ aside from picking up and leaving Fern with her. 😅
This is great
This is adorable
I love this series, but I'm hoping it doesnt go the route of "main gets every girl or guy that looks their way." I really like the idea that him and sparks stay as cuddle buddies. I have friends like that in real life who just like the physical contact and often visit for cuddles with snacks and films. Just the chance to unwind. But theres no romance or sexual tension between us. Just a mutual understanding of comfort. I like luna and sunsets dynamic and I dont think that needs to change anytime soon. Besides, I genuinely thought Dee Dee would end up digging Page after all was said and done, and I'm both happy and a little disappointed that she didnt. My shipping sensors are wild with this, but the nature of the world and the way that ponies are with eachother in this story is so compelling. I think that's why it's so easy to ship characters here, they are all intimate and touchy in ways we would see as romantic in real life, but to the world of the story it's just a normal thing to do. And I love that.
P.S. I love this series and i hope it keeps going for abit longer. One of the best on the platform!

It’s a sitcom. “Every pony ships Page.”
10495399
I agree with what you are saying. The relationship here is good as is. Closer than a friend but not quite in a relationship. But after 60 years when Sunset has passed.
“Twilight?”
“Yeah Page.”
“We are still sleeping together.”
“Well...I...yeah...yeah I guess we still are.”
“Do we need to...I don’t know...do anything different?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Hmm.”
“Hmm.”
“Well, goodnight.”
“Night Page.”
“Room for one more?”
“No Flurry!” “Don’t make it weird, for Auntie Twilight.”
“But Mom said he’s...”
“No!”
Discord: ...Cadance! CADANCE! I think it happened. Can I push the button?!
Cadance: Wait wait...let me check the data! Cuddle quota has reached successful levels? CHECK! Page's inner monologue shows all signs of acceptance with zero hesitation? CHECK! And I know for a fact both Luna and Sunset gave their blessing long ago so...yes! We're calling it Discord! WE. ARE. CALLING. IT!
Discord: Twilight is 3rd waifu? TWILIGHT IS THIRD WAIFU!
Shining: My sister?! She won 3rd waifu...but...but!!
Cadance: Oh Shining! I know it is scary to see your sister growing up but she's an alicorn and was already dating Sunset. Her waifu status simply only needed Page's acknowledgment at this point.
Shining: Yeah...I guess that is true. Wish I had a herd that big too tho...
Discord: Can I press the button now?! PLEASE! *bounces up and down*
Cadance: Yes you can. And can you bring over Pinkie Pie after? The Crystal Empire needs to party hard tonight!!
*Discord presses button*
*a heart-shaped disco ball appeared in every room of the castle...all staff dropped what they were doing and made a conga line...they partied for several hours...it was glorious*
10495399
10495516
...I'm still calling it 3rd waifu. He fully accepted the dynamic in this chapter and that's good enough for me!
10495296
Even Big Mac?
10495529
Waifu by association. I can get behind that.
10495522
“Well we can always ask M-“
“MIDNIGHT IS STILL MY SISTER! NO!”
“...I was going to say Moondancer.”
“...no you weren’t.”
“...I’m saying that now.”
10495536
Princess big mac
10495594
SailorMoon would be so proud
So they only cuddled or there was a threesome ?
10493845
10495616
Nope, no threesome. Last chapter they specifically noted that it would be just cuddling.
10495637
So next time
Didn't Sunset was part of one ?
Luna x Page x Sunset
So it's only a matter of time for Page x Sunset x Twilight and maybe x Midnight
Eventually the Page x Chrysalis X Skitter will also happen
10495657
I don't think Midnight or Chrysalis x Page would occur, but I suppose Page x Skitter could occur, although I don't think it will happen in the course of these stories
It is only a matter of time before Page is fully sleeping with ALL female alicorns!!!
...And for as long as Sunset lives will be sandwiched between them as well.
hmmm...
has anyone told Fluttershy that the Twilights figured out she was thestral, yet?
if not, that might have some
conseque(that word's been used already!)--complica(that one, too)--repercussi(uhoh, we're running out of options here)--issues? (okay, let's go with that for now....)10495680
Next installment: 'Things happens':p
This one had me rolling. Love the dynamic with this little herd <3
10495680
You are evil.
10495671
Kitten ( Sunset ) needs and get snuggels ♡
I know Page isn't into dudes, but at this rate one has to wonder if he's just an Alicorn magnet. Alicorn aspirants (Sunset) and Alicorn body-typed too. (Skitter, Amber)
Seeing as he's the only male one (now living), one technically can't rule it out due to lack of evidence.
10495844
Yes, I am
Good thoughts to think. Being respectful is the best way to go.
Yes she is. That got a snicker from me.
Smuggle?
... relatable.
Also... I shouldn't be surprised, but - it does show that Twilight does at least sometimes see other ponies as "stupid". I can't blame her, but it's just funny to catch her with her proverbial pants down. Princess of Friendship hard, yes, but everypony has limits... ;D
Besides, that entire scene is adorable as all fucking fuck.

Agreed
Love this community, brightened my days from day 1 ♡

This is like a beyond-dedicated fanbase for this series at this point.
First fluffy wings, than cool leather wings.
Wingboy has evolved over time.
Is Blank Page a Pokémon
Unicorn - from Level 0-16
Standard Alicorn - from level 16-50
Thestral Alicorn - through a Moonstone
Now Luna has just to catch the day version of a Alicorn, got to catch em all!
