Moon and Stars

Epilogue

TWILIGHT'S POV


I waited at the gardens of Canterlot Castle, just in time for the sun to set. Luna wasn’t anywhere to be seen, so I just walked around for a while. Everything seemed like a dream, part of me unable to believe that Luna would have similar feelings.

A small noise made me jump up, just to relax immediately at the sight of Luna. She flew down to me slowly, the last signs of the sun shimmering through her feathers, making her look like a true goddess. My goddess.

She landed and I gave her a kiss, which she eagerly returned. My heart pumped loudly, it seemed it would want to escape my chest. As we broke, she looked up into the sky and I followed her gaze. Luna slowly raised the moon until it hung aloft, shining in the sky, surrounded by some magnificent stars. I looked closer at the stars and gasped, some of them shaping into my cutie mark.

“Do you like it?” Luna asked sheepishly.

“Like it? No, I don’t like it,” I said and Luna’s face froze, “I love it!” I added then with a small peck, brightening her expression again.

She just looks so lovely.

“I was afraid for a short amount of time. What do you want to do now?” she smiled a bit, looking at me awaiting an answer.

I would love to kiss you… feel your touch on me while enjoying your embrace…

I closed my eyes and smiled, not noticing that Luna had closed the gap between us. The only thing I noticed was a feathery embrace, making me feel deeply warm, then soft but firm lips pressing on mine.

I would love that too...

My eyes widened in shock, those weren’t my thoughts...

D-did I just hear Luna's thoughts? Did she hear mine? T-that’s impossible…

As we broke away, Luna smirked at me.

“You have to teach me this trick sometimes,” I said, still a bit unsure.

She gave me a small peck before replying, “It’s not a trick. I’m old enough to know some powerful spells, Twilight. I hope I didn’t scared you.”

“No, it was just interesting to hear you in my head,” came my soft answer while I brushed my wings over her side, “I love you, Luna.”

Luna unfolded her wings, touching mine softly, “I love you too, Twilight. Please forgive me that it took me so long to see it.”

“Don’t be. I should have waited and tried to control my dreams. What I did was stupid…” I replied, ears folding back

“Nopony can control their dreams completely, not even me, Twilight. Do you think we should make this official?” Luna smiled and took me into a feathery embrace.

Should we do it? At some point, we might have to. But for now we should just enjoy this..

I shook my head, returning the embrace, “There is time for that later. For now, I just want to enjoy us, together.”

She smiled at me. “I wouldn’t want it otherwise,” she said, then her lips pressed firmly on mine, hungry with passion and love, starting a small firework in my heart.

I wanted to never have this ending, and I bet Luna would agree. We were in unison, true love finally found.
