This story is a side story to Crystal's Wishes

While most of their days are spent being Mom and Dad to their young foal Red Velvet, there is one day out of the year that Sunbeam and Pepper Ridge reserve to be just wife and husband: Hearts and Hooves Day. It's their special day when they can stay in bed, gaze into each other's eyes, and enjoy a kind of romance that only other married couples can understand.

It was always hard for Eclipse and Midnight Thunder to keep their emotions flat while on duty.
But as Luna places them both on duty with each other on Hearts and Hooves day,
they are tested beyond their limits.

Story plays in the Lunar Tales Universe

Some questions have easy answers. Why Applejack never revealed her feelings for Twilight was a question like that. When she discovers that her reasons were wrong, what she should do next seems like it should be, too. However, some questions are more difficult to answer than they first appear.
