15. David wakes Luna for Evening Court

"Wakey, wakey... come on..."

As her beloved, David, gently combed her mane and scratched behind her ears - nudging her here and there to try to wake her up - Princess Luna sighed softly. Yawning, she nuzzled and nosed foallike into the crook of his arm, before replacing her head atop her chest in a more comfortable position.

"Come on, sweetie" the human coaxed, "you've got Evening Court in half an hour; that and you need to raise the moon. If you don't, Celly 'll throw a fit..."

At his words - desperate to remain within the sanctuary of warmth and comfort - Luna groaned and rolled over in their shared bed 'till she lay on her back. "Nnn... Nooooo" she moaned as David began to rub over her belly, "dun' wanna..." Her behaviour made David chuckle, even as he leaned over to kiss her upon the nose. "You" - *kiss* - "need" - *kiss* - "to" - *kiss* - "wake" - *kiss* - "up" - *kiss* - "right" - *kiss* - "now," ending every word with a little kiss.

The Lunar Diarch just giggled and batted him playfully with a hoof. "Dun' wanna..." she repeated.

Thus, David decided to bring out one of his secret weapons. Taking her right forehood gently in hand, he ever-so-gently traced a pattern over the very sensitive underside. "This little pony went to market..." said he; then he repeated the gesture with her left, "and this little pony stayed home."

Squirming and writhing, the Moon Princess could only giggle helplessly as David then did the same to her left hindhoof, "This little pony had roast hay..." and the same to her right, "and this little pony had none... And this little pony went 'whinny-whinny-whinny' all the way home." And then David tickled her sensitive ribs, causing her to snap awake and neigh with laughter, helpless beneath his questing fingers. "Ah, hah-hah-hah-hah-hah... st-st-stop it!" she gasped through her joyful laughter, her human's face crinkling into a smile as he gazed upon her. "I'm awake! I'm awake! Hah-hah-hah!" But alas, he refused to stop; only ceasing his relentless attack when she was flushed, breathless and panting gazing up into his eyes. Then, David kissed her, a gesture that made her moan quietly as she closed her eyes and leaned in.

Then, a moment later, cold hard reality hit as David pulled away, pulling the duvet aside as he stated softly, "Come on sweetheart; Moon Raising then Evening Court..." With the most adorable pout wrinkling her muzzle, Luna snorted then sighed through her nose. "Oh, alright..." she grumbled.
