I get it!
Amusing.

Don't know what's so funny about it. Maybe I've just not been in the fandom so long.

But alas, their pairing will be without issue, for as you know, an abacus cannot multiply...
(ducks for cover)
I get it! Abacus is a character in two of my old Luna fics!
I've been here since October 2011 and I have no idea.

You've never read Progress?

Nope

Progress is a pre-season-2 fic that got very popular, essentially about Luna dealing with a thousand years of technological and sociological evolution right after her return. One of the running gags was her relationship with an abacus--it's one of her few things that lasted while she was away, and she thusly treats it somewhat like a teddy bear. Of course, that started up a slew of jokes about her actually being in love with the abacus, even though the narrative never implied it was anything beyond the teddy bear analogue, and a meme was born.

She had a dream of it dueling Big Mac for her love.

It's been a while since I read the fic.
