P.O.V Jake

I get out of the bathroom to see Twilight at the door. she was sporting a huge blush. I looked down and noticed i wasn't wearing clothes. then i looked at her. "Get out of here!" I yell and she booked it. I then sighed and got dressed in my usual outfit with the excepting of me adding a hat to it. I then decided to explore the castle. While I was walking Twilight walked up to me. "So what are you? I noticed that you don't look like us ponies." She ask and pointed at my lack of a muzzle and tail.

"I'm a human. We are omnivores as we need a certain protein from meat. Have you guys always had heartless around here?" I ask as we pass the garden. she put her hand on her chin and did what i think was thinking. "Not really. The closest we have to that was King Sombra. As he was already doing dark magic." She said. We step into the dinning room to see Celestia and Luna. "Sup you two" I said as we approach. I noticed Twilight glaring at me while she bowed.

"Ah, there you two are. we were beginning to wonder if you got lost." Luna said while Celestia waved. I wasn't that hungry. so as I was sitting there going through my thoughts. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight ate and discussed stuff. I noticed they were looking at me. "Yes?" I ask them. "Are you okay? Your crying." Twilight said as i sighed and wiped the tears away. "Its nothing to worry about. Just some personal issues." I say and get up. "I'm gonna walk around." I tell them as i leave.

P.O.V Luna

We watched as Jake left the room then turned to each other. "I think we should help him get through this." Celestia said and we nodded. "I'll go catch up to him and see if i can get him to talk about it." With that said i got up and left to find him. I then saw a pair of guards turn the corner and waved. "Have you seen Jake come through here?" I asked them. "We saw him enter the garden. he looked ready to cry." He said in concern as i thank them and go towards the garden.

When i got to the garden I noticed he was next to a tree. looking up at the sky. "Hey, you okay?" I ask him. he looks at me and i noticed a mask he put on. "I'm okay." he said. he turns to look up some glint in his eye caught my attention. something I see in my eyes everytime I feel lonely. I sigh and say "Bullshit your not okay." He looked at me surprised. "I can see it in your eyes. your lonely and need someone to help you." He sighs and shakes his head while chuckling.

"Damn. I thought i would get away with it. Yes i'm lonely. i Barely had friends. then i got dragged into this mess and lost those friends." He said. I felt pity for him. he looks like he is just out of school. maybe he didn't even finish school. "We are more alike then you know friend." I told him as i sat down onto the ground. "Do you know about nightmare moon?" I ask him.

P.O.V. Jake

I nodded as I remember my Niece Watched the show. she forced me to watch it with her. "I know you were her." I said as i looked at her. she looked at me in surprised, the came the fear. it was barely there but i saw it. I just smiled and said. "It still doesn't change my opinion about you. You are just a normal, I guess pony is the correct term. everyone makes mistakes. I bet Celestia has even made mistakes before. but they make you learn. And in my eyes. As long as everyone is safe. i'm happy, and that includes you." I said as i turned to the sky.

what happened next surprised me. Luna kissed me. not on the cheek but on the mouth. I slowly leaned into the kiss and before i knew it we separated. We both sporting massive blushes while panting. Who knew that my love was in another world. "That was amazing." I said out loud. On this day, I felt love for the first time ever.
