The royal wing of the castle was almost universally empty save for a few of the most elite guards, and the most loyal and quiet of servants. In fact each of the brides would be given a suitable servant and guard to accompany them. One thing that surprised Luna, was Rarity. Once the mare had snuggled up to her side, it seemed she did not in fact want to leave it. Pinkie Pie had surprised her as well by taking Luna’s other flank and cozying up under her wings. This was a feeling Luna hadn’t enjoyed in nearly a thousand years when she had two young mares pressed up against her and going to her quarters for some interesting night games. This time, it was different though, it wasn’t just lust… it was deeper, warmer, and she could swear her mane was starting to shine brighter the closer these two got to her. The few maids in the castle made barely a glance in their direction, not to be rude, but rather to give them a sense of privacy that was very much needed. In fact if Luna had decided to start an orgy right then and there with all six of them the maids were to simply clean around them. Of course even Luna was not that cruel, she’d seen their dreams and many of them had fantasies about Celestia, Luna, or both of them combined. It would be rude to force them to see such private acts when they may desperately want a piece of that pie themselves. If not for Celestia’s ruling on trying to appear modest, Luna likely would have given all of those servants their desire by now. They met a long hall with six different doors all spaced well apart. Each one had a guard standing out in front of it and each room was tended to by a single maid whose role was not only to keep said rooms clean but to also fulfill any of the wishes of those inside. Luna stopped at the first door. Upon it was the mark of Twilight Sparkle carved into the ancient purple wood. “This was Twilight’s room for many years while she studied beneath Celestia’s wing as a foal. Of course the place has been in disuse for several years now and it wasn’t exactly well used before hoof either. Twilight spent many nights with Celestia.” Rarity gasped. “Truly?” Luna smiled down at her. “Platonically of course. Nopony has yet to deflower that lavender. Celestia’s marriage will see to that changing soon enough.” There was only a small amount of envy in Luna for Celestia getting such a gift.  Going down to the next door she paused once more. This one had been yellow with a pink butterfly etched into its wood. “Fluttershy my dandere sweet, this shall be your quarters. Fret not for you shall be allowed to stay and read in my room all thou wish.” Fluttershy walked to the door and gently reached out. “Um… is, is it okay if I g-go in? I feel I need to rest a little, um if that’s alright with you.” Luna smiled down at her. “It is your room, you may come and go as you please, or decorate if you should choose. I did try to make the room to your liking but I fear my understanding of your tastes is not as developed as I hope it will be in the future.” Fluttershy opened the door. A warm gentle light came in from a large wooden sealed window. The floor abruptly changed from marble to wood and the walls inside were much the same only covered in a soft yellow wallpaper. A large bed, plenty big enough for Luna to lay in was in the middle of the room. There was a fireplace, currently cold but well stocked. Shelves filled with books and paintings of various wildlife upon the walls. Fluttershy walked in and her eyes marveled around it. Upon the bed itself, a pink bed with yellow pillows, lay a large selection of stuffed animal dolls.  Fluttershy sat down once inside, her mouth agape as she took in the room. “What is this place? Filled with so many wonders?” Luna gently closed the door behind her to allow the soft hearted pegasus a chance to recuperate her lost energy and to enjoy the room itself. If only Luna could have convinced actual animals to live in there it would be perfect she just hoped the fake ones were enough to make her happy. The next door they came to was unsurprisingly a white one with dark purple diamond etched on it. Luna nodded for the appropriate mare to leave her side and venture forth. Once opening the door the gasp she heard made Luna’s heart soar. Inside was a marbled floor with purple walls lined with thick red curtains. A few high quality photographs were on the wall showing off some of Rarity’s well known and favorite dresses, all by different designers of course to make sure Rarity never fell prey to staring at her own work too long but had ones she could look up to and admire. Finding out which ones were her favorites was a true challenge but one Luna successfully pulled off. A few poniquines stood near the window along with a seamstress desk including sewing machine, and a few select fabrics. The bed was set off more towards the wide of the room to allow for more practical space for any and all of Rarity’s machinations. Of course Luna was going to give the mare her very own room dedicated to the craft soon but inspiration had a chance to appear at any time and she knew the mare would be displeased having to walk all the way to a dedicated room just to create. There was also an obvious door leading over to the next room, the one they had not reached yet. Rarity turned back toward Luna. “This, this is so wonderful. You made this all for me?” Luna smiled. “Of course I did. My love for the six of you knows no bounds.” Rarity sniffled. “I… I wish there were words to show you how grateful I truly am.” Luna winked. “There may not be words, but your lips can still tell me how grateful you are later.” Rarity’s cheeks turned a tinge of pink. “Oh, yes, yes there are.” Applejack coughed. “Rares.” Rarity glared at her. “Applejack, just go to your room and fall in love already.” Luna let out a sigh. She knew she was stepping on Applejack’s territory here but she hoped that Applejack would be more open later on. Sharing was challenging but with more ponies there was more chance for love, for fun, for mischief. Going to the next room, this one was specifically planned to be next door. The orange door had a red apple on it revealing who it should belong to. Applejack pushed open the door and stepped inside. This was another room filled with wood, but it had a nice earthy scent. As if it had belonged here, for many, many years. The bed was large but far more simple in design. A few saplings were growing by the window seal and a small balcony led out to where a large apple tree was growing mightily. Applejack took off her hat at the sight of the tree. “Is that Lil Twig?” Luna replied. “The sapling thou gave me when I first returned from the moon. A way for me to learn to grow and mature. A way for me to learn to be delicate with others. Without this tree I fear I may have remained in that tiny frail frame forever. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not giving Lil Twig back to thee, I am simply letting it meet you again. I shall continue to come and spend time with it.” Applejack’s lip quivered and she put her hat back on covering her eyes. “Ah… thank you. Ah think maybe it ain’t so bad staying in a fancy palace after all.” Luna glanced at the other door leading to Rarity’s room. “Don’t forget you have a door especially for you and Rarity. Should you two find need or use for it.” Applejack looked back at her with a knowing look in her glistening eye. All Luna could do was smile and close the door on her. Hopefully by showing that she valued their previously existing relationship just as much as she valued the new one she wished to build, it would bridge any gap between herself and Applejack.  The next room of course had to be the blue one with the rainbow on it. Rainbow Dash laughed. “Guess this is mine then?” She opened the door and walked in only to look down at the floor as if to realize her hooves weren’t standing on carpet, or wood, or even marble. The soft squishy material beneath her hooves was in fact cloud. The walls, the ceiling, floors, and even the bed were all made from clouds. The few furnishings in here not made of the stuff were enchanted to sit upon them as easily as any pegasus. An armor stand stood with a suit of dark blue metal armor that shone brightly as the light cast its welcoming rays upon it.  Rainbow Dash looked back at her. “This is… cool. Like really cool.” Luna giggled. “I would hope so. The suit of armor I am afraid is merely on loan for now. I wish to request Rarity’s assistance in crafting a suit that is perfect just for you, along with a magical weapon to suit your needs.” Rainbow Dash swallowed. “You mean… like a knight?” “Of course. A Wonderbolt, a knight, and a princess, there is no reason you cannot be all three at once.” Rainbow Dash sat down. “That’s… that’s amaz-“ her voice was cut off as she saw the selection of books on the shelf nearby. She zipped over there so fast she left a trail of rainbow behind her. “No, no way! How! These are, are first edition signed copies of the entire Daring Doo series!” “Of course they are, for my first edition wife.” Luna joked.  Rainbow Dash opened one and began reading. “I… and all I have to do is marry you for these?” “Rainbow Dash you will be a princess soon. You deserve all the best things in the land. No mobster, rich stuck up mare, magically talented beast, dragon or even Discord himself could stop me from obtaining these books. Just… don’t take them outside of the royal quarters please, if they were to be stolen by somepony else I might have to hunt them down.” Rainbow Dash stared at her working her mouth in silence for a long moment. “You did all that… for these books…”  “No, I did all of that for you.” Rainbow Dash blinked. “Oh my Celestia, I think I am in love with you.” “Yay!” Luna beamed. As Rainbow Dash returned to her book Luna closed the door and went to the final room. A pink door with various pink balloons on it. “Pinkie Pie, this room shall be yours.” Pinkie Pie opened the door and bounced in to find a carpeted floor. The carpet was a light blue with occasional yellow and pink spots. The bed was large and pink, and was trimmed off with designs of various sweets. The window seal was curved and had a particularly cake looking design to it. The table in the middle was large, and sturdy enough for even a mare of Luna’s size to dance on it. She had tested it herself. There was a button along the side of the wall, a big red button. Pinkie quickly pushed it and revealed a secret passage going into another room. She stuck her head in there and then pulled it out saying, “I think every party supply in Equestria is in there!” Luna smiled. “I hope this is to your liking. If there are any changes you need, please do not hesitate to make them.” Pinkie frowned. “Well… it is missing something. Something pretty important.” That one sentence was almost enough to stop Luna’s heart. What had she forgotten? Was it a pet alligator toy? No she wouldn’t need that once she brought the real Gummy here. Was it a mini fridge? No wait there was one in the corner along with an entire stove, cupboards, and pretty much anything the mare needed for cupcakes. A balcony? No everypony had their own balcony even if the entrance was a little hidden at first. What was it she missed? Pinkie Pie looked up at Luna with soft blue eyes. “It’s missing you.” Luna’s heart… it was supposed to be beating right? Why wasn’t it doing that? Not that it mattered, it wouldn’t kill her to have a heart attack. She took a few steps into the room, closed the door behind her and felt her lip trembling as she whispered. “I am here now.” Pinkie Pie beamed a smile larger than her face. “Now it’s perfect!”
