Chapter 16
Smiling, I crossed the library and gave the alicorn a quick nuzzle as soon as she appeared. “Luna.”
“My Page,” she answered with a smile, nuzzling back before stealing a quick kiss. “We got quite a fright when your messenger appeared.”
I smiled up at her as I sat down, “Which one?”
“The changeling, Amber,” Luna clarified as she settled down next to me. “Rainbow Dash arrived only moments later to cancel the warning.”
“I thought it was best to send the warning, just in case. Something was able to remove ponies' cutie marks. Imagine if that happened to you or your sister?” I asked with a shiver. “Best be safe about it.”
Luna nodded and nuzzled at my ear, “You should have sent Rainbow Dash with it, not Amber. Her task was to keep you safe, not to run and warn. Rainbow Dash told us everything that happened.”
I folded my ears against my head before she could bite it, “They would have noticed if I sent Dash. They didn’t know about Amber.”
Luna just sighed but let the matter drop, “How did it all happen? From your point if view?”
Leaning softly against her side, I told her all about it. “... And now Starlight Glimmer should be on her way to Canterlot. She should arrive soon.”
Nodding, Luna nuzzled, “I can’t decide if you are lucky or not.”
“Well, I have you, so let’s go with lucky. But to be honest, I didn’t do much. It was all Sunset Shimmer. She deserves the credit for this one. All I did was go there and then get hit.”
Smiling, Luna stole a quick kiss before she frowned, “And your illusion?”
I shook my head, “Was broken in the view of the villagers. Though I think it’s salvageable. There was a lot of commotion at the time and they were getting their marks back. The Elements have promised to keep it quiet and I think all that might come from it may be unconfirmed rumours. Those we already have.”
Luna nodded and leaned against me, “You were lucky. It won’t last.”
“I’ll handle that as it happens.” I sighed before I smiled and rested my head against her neck as her wing rested across my back, “Speaking of which, as soon as I get back, I’m changing from hero to villain.”
Luna just looked at me, raising her eyebrow, “What?”
“I plan to kidnap a Princess and take her to a deserted tropical island to do unspeakable things to her. There may be screaming involved.”
That got a laugh from her and she nuzzled at my ear, “That sounds wonderful… but impossible. I’m sorry, my Page. But I can’t.”
“I’m sure they have a Moon there too, Luna.”
“It’s not that, Page.” She sighed, “A few days ago we got news that the king of the griffons has passed away.”
“Oh?”
She nodded, “Equestria is expected to send a royal representative to the funeral and then observe the trials for a new ruler.”
I pulled back to frown up at her, “Why you? Send Blueblood!”
Luna snorted, “Page, we would be at war before the week was over.”
“… I’m not sure about that. He is less useless than he pretends to be. If barely,” I said and then flicked my ears. “And why you? Someone else can go. There are more than two princesses now.”
Luna shook her head, “Who would go, Page? Princess Cadance? She is busy running the Crystal Empire and getting them integrated into the modern world. My sister? Something on this short notice would send most of the capital into chaos if she simply dropped everything. Then there is everything now involving Starlight Glimmer. Twilight will also be quite busy with that and her own duties as the Element of Magic.”
“…This sucks,” I finally sighed.
“It does,” she agreed and then smiled. “Now, if there was an alicorn I knew that got along well with other species I could send…”
I just gave her a flat look, drawing a giggle.
“Too late now anyway,” she sighed. “I’m already on the ship, we just left the port.”
I just groaned, “This sucks even more. I can’t come with you?”
Luna hesitated and laid down, pulling me down along her with her wing, “A sky chariot could might still catch us.”
I thought about that for a second before I collapsed against her side, “Would it even work?”
“Between your studies, duties, training of Sunset and whatever else comes up, my Page, along with my duties?” Luna asked and nuzzled at my ear. “Maybe.”
I rolled onto my back to look up at her, “How long will this entire thing take?”
She grimaced, “…A month or two.”
I just stared up at her, “TWO MONTHS!?”
“At most. The longest coronation trial I remember lasted just over a moon.”
Frowning in thought, I slowly nodded, “…You are just a day out. Sky chariots are fast.”
Luna smiled sadly. “By the time you reach Canterlot I will be over three days out and moving away still. They are not that fast. I’m sorry, my Page.”
“…This sucks,” I sighed and leaned against her side.
Fuck, I really deserved some Luna time after this bullshit. I wished it would just stop being one thing after another.
I then frowned in thought, “Luna… can I talk to you about Sunset for a moment?”
“Hmm?”

Yay! first comment! I just wanted to ask if you write with a very strict outline of whats going to happen or make it up piece by piece. Thanks for such an amazing story!
HAREM TIME?
*Sits in the corner of the dream, beyond their perception*
[Sounds of crunching popcorn]
Dramas gettin' good
GO TO SLEEP. IT IS 12:25AM.
7971359 Fuck you, I need this! I NEED THIS!
The worst part about dating royalty that actually does stuff? The scheduling.
when page and luna inevitably go to the human world again they need to see rogue one, and 7
7971407 Rogue one yes, Episode 7: the force is a mary sue, I think not.
Short and building up. Wonder what's coming?
Shame Luna is busy.
7971289
Possibly
7971289 i think it's not the way we're going but if then I'm for Celestia or, let's not forget the in my imagination extremely cute silver leaf. (Not to mention the love overfead changeling Princess) Even though the Sunset in this story is even better than the real one.
But all kidding aside, as always a short but sweet chapter.
So he's been two month in Ponyville and Luna might be gone for two to griffinstone… that's four month.
Important life steps for horses take eleveb month, so Page might get a nice shock when Luna comes home. (If alicorn Biology works like that of a normal horse.)
Damn you!! That was a Fake out!!! The theory is still on though! She will come back and there will be a visable change that Page can't miss!
What about Sunset? As much as I would love to see him and Sunset get closer...that's something for an alternate universe, Luna is his only! I doubt we are going harem though.
HIVER! How are we going to get some baby Lunas and Pages running around if they are constantly not together physically! I want babies!!
As for Sunset...Page...are you planning to play matchmaker with her and Twilight? PLEASE let this happen! (Also find somepony for Celestia too~!)
Hah, knew refusing the sky chariot would bite him in the flank. Hmm, without Luna around, Lord Page might get some unwanted attention...and extra teasing from Celestia.
7971561
Agreed! They should have had the writers and director of Rogue One do SW7 instead. It will be interesting to see if page goes in a wholly different direction for his next Star Wars pony novel.
Hmm that is one way to involve Griffinstone without the Cutie Map. Though unless Rainbow comes along I doubt she will fix their friendship with Gilda in this version.
7971805 I support this theory!
No Luna time..
“A sky chariot could might still catch us.”
don't need both.
Is it just me or is that a bit of a slam-brake chapter ending?
Couldn't he, I don't know, get to the griffin kingdom himself?
7972603 meh
It's been a long day. And I want to go to bed, but I know if I do the chapter will be posted.
7972906 ...makes for a wrinkled page. ♪♫
Sorry, I couldn't resist that pun
I'm NOT sorry
*the wasteland time line intensifies*
Tell me he's Grover the Fifth
No Luna Time?!
Nooooooooooooooo!!!
11031972
Luna: Does that mean your going to do shameful things to me? *asks timidly.*
11314502
Timidly? TIMIDLY?!
Luna doesn't do "timid". She's been alive long enough to know (other people's) life is too short to get hung up on "what-ifs". She knows what she wants, and will ask for it loudly and clearly. :D
So Page is a passionate lover than? Neat
If Celestia would get free days for working that long...
She might get a uninterrupted vacation time of a millenia or so
Earning leadership through many trials?
Sounds promising ♤
Will they have to woo a princess or two?
