	A knock came from Lakura's front door late that afternoon, early evening, which Lakura woke up to get the door which, he was very tired still so he decided to answer the door out of courtesy.  When Lakura opened the door he saw a familiar face when he was in Canterlot, it was Naruna Light.  Lakura invited her in so she can visit, but to his dismay, during that night, Naruna told him that her parents left Ponyville because of the choices she made that made them upset.  Lakura put his hoof on Naruna's shoulder as she was going through this emotional breakdown, but Lakura offered her to stay here with him which made Naruna look at Lakura, as he smiled politely.  As the tears from Naruna eyes stopped she hugged Lakura in which she gave him a kiss on the lips, which made Lakura blush deep red.  After they kissed, Lakura went back to bed and Naruna went to bed in the guest room as the night became peaceful within the air.

The following morning came with no surprise to young dating couple, which they agreed on not to get to close to each other's privacy life, Lakura was in bed, due to Naruna's knock on the door last night, in which he was catching up on the sleeping hours he lost, while Naruna was in the kitchen making breakfast and reading some of Lakura's works in the gaming industry.  Which it came to her surprise that Lakura has been making a huge profit with these works, and she saw Lakura walking into the kitchen from the aroma of food and getting a root beer, as his coffee, to wake up from the caffeine it provided.  Naruna smiled as Lakura smiled back, as the he drank his root beer when he finished drinking water before he drank the soda.  As the morning progressed, Lakura would be getting ready for game analysis on pro games, to break it down for lower league players, and then be coaching other players that requested him to coach them.  Naruna watched him get ready for his usual schedule, and asked Lakura if he would let her join him on his game analysis.  Lakura wouldn't turn this down at all, he accepted her invitation to join, which made her smile in delight, but he told her that the game analysis isn't gonna be for another few hours, which she nodded anyways.

Lakura suggested that he has a day at the school for the little fillies and colts and he wanted her to come.  Naruna accepted the invitation, and so they went to the local school in Ponyville, which to everyone's surprise to see that Lakura would never get a marefriend.  Some of the residents, meaning all but the colts and fillies, would not question at all, but being Lakura's popularity the residents couldn't help to ask some questions, which Lakura answered with respect while the little children followed the dating couple till they were at the school.  As the day progressed the two were treated with lunch, thanks to Princess Luna, at the Quailsant in Canterlot.  The two enjoyed the day so much that when they got back to Lakura's house, Lakura started to get things ready for the Zooiecraft dailies he does on a regular basis and having Naruna there meaning he can have some extra help in analyzing the games and discussing the builds of the recent tournament.  The daily went on for hours with Lakura and Naruna giving both their respective opinions and judging from the tournament, most of the viewers would ask key questions, most of them would want to try the builds out for themselves, however Lakura stated that all players saw the tournament, if they saw the build they were facing against, it would get shut down quick, and he always continued to say "try to manipulate your opponent", the daily ended with fine questions and such, Lakura turned off the stream and Naruna saw that he was getting another stream ready this time he was gonna do something that he had never thought of doing, coaching Naruna and helping her to get better from another player he promised to teach.

Naruna became shocked that he offered her a chance to participate in training with another player that she has never played against, she agreed to participate, which Lakura asked her to go into another room while he trains this other player.  The games that were being practiced on were helping Naruna get better at the game as well as the other player Lakura was training, as the training ended the two dating couple went to bed as any pony would do, however Lakura would be up all night talking with Luna about certain clan related things, for recruiting and many more stuff.  Naruna just went to bed after kissing Lakura on the cheeks, which still makes him blush everytime she kissed him.  The next day, Lakura was already in bed, Naruna was up getting some games in when a letter came in the mail, though Naruna set the letter on the table for Lakura to read, she saw here name on the letter.  She wanted to read the letter, but she wanted to open it when Lakura was up.  Hours later Lakura managed to get up and stumble into the kitchen, getting his daily caffeine, as usual, noticed Naruna sitting at the table looking at a letter that she hasn't opened.

The 2 ponies talked, when Naruna opened the letter, that she will be representing Night's Clan in Trottingham tourney for Zooiecraft III: Legends of War.  Lakura put his hoof on her saying, "Don't be nervous, I will be there with you to help you, and coach you, but the games you have to win on your experience from the past few days."  After hearing those words Naruna hugged him and said, "Thanks Lakura, you seem to be there to help."  Lakura smiled and kissed her on the lips which made her blush hot red, which in return she kissed back.
