Waking up, I rolled over and stretched my wings. Outside the windows of the airship snow where whirling between the clouds.
We must be pretty low to have snow outside. But I’m sure the Captain had a good reason for it.
Folding my wings again, I leaned my side against the back of the couch as I looked out of the windows, very carefully not looking towards the door to the bedroom.
Finally, I turned my head towards the door and slipped off the couch and slowly headed over there. I hesitated for a second before I tapped my hoof against the wood on the door.
“Come in.”
I knew she had been awake, her dream portal had been missing just before I woke up.
Pushing the door open, I looked inside, “Morning.”
Sunset were laying on the bed, a book floating before her before she smiled, “Good morning.”
Smiling I trotted over, “What are you reading?”
Shifting slightly, she turned the book in her magic so I could see the title. It was the second Daring Do book.
“That one is good.”
“Mmm,” she agreed and shifted a bit to the side, glancing at me.
I jumped up to settle down next to her, “Sunny…”
“Hmm?”
“Talk to Luna?”
She nodded a bit with a small smile, turning back to her book, “I did.”
“Do I want to know?”
That just got a giggle from her.
…I’m guessing no, then.
Slipping my wing across her back caused her to scoot closer, putting her side against mine while closing her book.
“…Cadence is going to be so....” I finally said. Sunset snorted and then nodded,
“She will,” she agreed before she turned her head to let her horn tap against mine, “…Luna may also have been a bit… ‘I told you so’ about it as well.”
I grinned a bit I rested my horn against hers gently, “…Yeah, kind of got some of that too.”
“Figured,” she said and then looked at me, “…Page?”
“Yeah?”
“We’re still… us, you know?”
I looked at her, “How do you mean?”
“I mean…” she started before she frowned, “You’re my best friend, I don’t want to lose that. I don’t want to lose our dynamic. If we can be more, I would love that. But… if it means we lose that, I…”
I nodded a bit in agreement, “I know how you mean. But I don’t see why it would change, we just add a bit… uhm…”
Sunset shot me a playful look, “A bit what?”
“More.”
That got a laugh from her and she nodded, “More, huh? That does sound like something I want to try,” she teased.
I shifted slightly, running my wing along her back,“ Me too. But I want us to stay us too.”
“But before…” She said and rested her head against the side of my neck, “I want to talk with Twi. In person, not through a dream, it’s more traditional that way. So, let’s keep things light before then.”
The fact that any of this was traditional at all kind of blew my mind.
“But then…” Sunset continued, raising her head to whisper into my ear.
Oh.
Oh my.
I swallowed and turned to look at her, “Really?”
“Mhmm,” she agreed before she stuck her tongue out at me playfully, “Why? Don’t think you can handle it?”
“I can assure you, I most certainly can!”
“We’ll see,” she teased and flicked her ears.
Growling at her, I pulled her tight with my wing and kissed her before I smiled and rested my horn against hers, “You know what occurred to me?”
“Hmm?”
“You’re such a Mary Sue.”
Sunset pulled back a bit to look at me in surprise and a bit of outrage, “I’m not!”
“You knew what I meant!” I teased her with a grin, “And you are!”
“Am not!” she protested, “And you’re one to talk!”
I grinned at her, “You totally are. Beautiful very magical pony with dark tortured past and that managed to get two Alicorn lovers. While trained at ancient combat arts to defend Equestria.”
She rolled onto her back, looking up at me with a smirk, “And which part of that don’t also apply to you, Mister ‘also famous author and only male alicorn’.”
I glowered down at her, “So very much not the same thing and I don’t have a dark past, just a mysterious one. Besides, I’m ruggedly handsome, not beautiful. If anything, I’m more Captain Kirk than anything else.”
“Kirk!? No way you are a Kirk!” Sunset protested and put her hoof on my chest, “…Maybe Captain Reynolds. Maybe.”
“Mmm… I’d take Reynolds…” I agreed and leaned down to kiss her as her fore legs went around my neck.
Somehow, I feel like Hiver wrote this as a response to all the comments people had about both Page and Sunset as individuals and as a couple.
Don't care what anyone else says, I love this story.

Written over a month ago. Almost two months actually. :p
9195163
Agreed.
People seem to forget that this isn't their story.
It's the Author's.
And the Author can do what ever the hell they want with it.
I know who captain kirk is but Who's Captain Reynolds?!?!
9195176
Really? Huh.

I disagree, the logical progression would be if they remained close friends who try to wingman eachother into more relationships for giggles and laughs. Now its gonna reach a point where its super unrealistic with too many mares to get any kind of special attention, or they're going to get possessive and stop him from getting into so many relationships because they're losing a lot of time with him.
Making them an item, from a story tellers stand point, removes a lot of options that can be done for dynamics and interactions other characters can have in the future. If you thought them not being an item would get old, them being an item when the character is already dating so many others, will make it get old far faster.

Captain Malcom Reynolds commands the ship "Firefly" in a good sci-fi series called "Firefly".
I'd have responded with a proper Captain Mal meme, but I'm in a bit of a hurry right now.
Somebody else will have to oblige you in my stead. Any takers?

A reader of FIMFiction that hasn't seen Firefly? Consider me boggled.
"We won't lose our dynamic, right?"
It will change quite a bit, and the world around it will shape it, as that is how all love is.
These two are adorable. I love watching them.

never saw the point to watch it theres only a handful of episodes to see

thanks!
MEANWHILE...IN THE PARTY CAVE
Princess Cadance: I know I might be acting a bit prematurely especially when nothing really happened yet. HOWEVER! I need to be prepared for the occasion now that Prince Page is freed from monogamy.
Pinkie Pie: Planning parties WAY in advance is what I do, Cadance! Leave it to this super party pony to plan all these future baby showers. Now I understand planning for if Luna, Sunset, or Twilight has a baby with Page but...*looks at the long list*...what's with the 10 other mares on this list?
Princess Cadance: Once again we must be PREPARED for anything. You know your top secret mission now Pinkie Pie. I'm counting on you! Good luck! *teleports away*
Pinkie Pie: Okie Dokie Loki~! Gummi! Fetch me a cupcake and let's start planning!!
Gummi: *licks eyeball slowly*
(EDIT: Also in the news, at least one person in the comments seems to have no sense of humor or fun by deciding to use the thumbs down button...pity this person)
.....ha...haha...hahahahaha!
Hiver, your so awesome!!!
9195204
I haven't either, I prefer Xbox and reading to tv.
Well if you becomes an Alicorn then she can be a Mary Sue but not before then.
This kinda, really makes me wish this entire series had been M-rated.
Nothing really, You two have already been acting like a couple for several months already!

Not really surprising. His lack of spine would make him the perfect male anime protagonist.

Very good points!
I thought you said you weren't going to talk about what you and Luna tal med about

It’s a space western that got bucked over by corporate bullcrap. What’s there, plus the movie, gives you a lot of inside into what could have been:
Very enjoyable to watch.
I'm a bit disappointed they ended up together since many stories can't keep people(ponies) purely as friends without it turning romantic. But, considering their friendship has lasted like, three stories and only now turned romantic (likely) half way through this story is alright by me. You gave us enough time to watch their friendship grow into something more than two chapters later they bang, and for that thank you.
Looking forward to the future!

I think this was the most sensible thing to do.
Whatever you write, please keep writing it without listening to 'majority' of your commenters. Doing so ruined more then a few stories i have seen.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting on this for a long time, and I cannot properly express how happy I am without excessive repeated exclamation marks.
O my the story is heating up a bit.

I see a more Seinfeld relationship here where it doesn't really go up or down, besides he's still got Luna, she's still got Twi.
Now with 60% more lampshade.

Two? Page is going to need to recount when Luna insists on joining in. :)
Ooooo..... secrets! oh my!
that part where he put his wing over her reminded me of this video:
Good thing he's an alicorn. Otherwise, I'd expect him to die of exhaustion before this story is through.
Cadance, what about us, do you have any idea how smug we are right now
why do you do this. I need the clop for this and you just keep making it worse with all this. Don’t you know deep rich character dynamics are what I live for in stories. And then you add the romance and I need it all. At this rate your gonna make me commission some of these scenes from a clop author. If I did actually do that tho It would only be for me. If you don’t want clop scenes of your story out there that’s fine but I may need it for me personal collection tho. I mean the emotions carried within the intimacy is like the most beautiful piece of art you can imagine. And I collect actually beautiful, yes pony, art as well. I mean my pony art collection is in the thousands of images rn. And actually only a small percentage is nsfw or even suggestive. Tbh most nsfw is just dumb porn for sating lust and weird fetishes. Very few capture the emotion of the bond between characters, and therefore aren’t worth collecting in my opinion. And you here are building that beautiful connection between characters and I desire to collect the entire connection in all its expressions. I collect stories very much like I collect art. Which is also why I almost never collect clop stories less than 5k words cause there ain’t no way you can build or adequately display the character bond in less words and without the bond it has no meaning and nothing of value worth collecting. After all sex is a beautiful thing with so much more than meer simplistic pleasure. To seek only for the pleasure does a great disservice to its very existence and true meaning10855038
I forget which story, but the best clop I've read was short, awkward, and far from the 'perfect' sex authors like to describe. Made the characters feel more real, and was more about them experiencing something special together, rather than just being a happily ever after of sex.
Page... To become a Kirk you need to bed at least 3 different races... Subraces dont count!

He could very well do that if he involves 2 ponies, a changeling princess and the griffon king's daughter.

I think most of us wish this story was m rated.

"So quickly"...
... it's been coming since about halfway into the first story. :D He's been pondering it on-and-off here and there, either when Luna mentioned something or when he saw it in the wild.
Personally, I'm just waiting for the Big C to give in. ;] Their slow-burn, testing-the-waters dynamic in "Welcome to..." is delicious.
Yeah...
Yeah I can't do this.
Damn it. Why is it always harems? And after 200 chapters too?
Shame...
It was good until now though. Well done.

I feel that way about the gae. At least in here it's in the background. For now at least.

AWESOME 👍
It's cool how my concerns about Page and Sunset's friendship were addressed in this chapter. Plus, another Firefly reference!

Read the latest story of Hiver? Though it was mostly Twilight and Sunset in it.
