//------------------------------// // "Hey, Luna" // Story: "Hey, handsome." // by PrincessLunas Assistant //------------------------------// Seethe's eye sight slowly recovered as he laid next to Celestia. She had her back to Seethe, breathing very lightly and letting out an occasional snore. He smiled lightly as he regained his vision fully, Seethe got out of bed. He felt the urge to pee. It was quite intense, it made Seethe's legs began to shake as his bladder wanted to release. However there was a knock on the door. Seethe cursed to himself and went to the door. He opened it and tried to halt his pee dance as much as possible. "Oh." He said as he recognized the pony on the other side of the doorway. "Hey, Luna." Princess Luna stood there before him with a grim look about her. Like she had received bad news somewhere on her way to the door. Maybe on her way to the door, lets call the door "Point A" from where ever she had come from, otherwise known as "Point B". Lets say somewhere along the path from Point B to Point A, Luna tripped in some bathroom hit her head on a toilet and forgot where she was going. Now without memory of where she was going, she went back to Point B. Found she was going to Point A before the fall, got frustrated with herself, went back on the path. Once she had returned to the point between Point A and Point B where she had fallen she received news about her fall. Some pony had seen her fall and noticed that Luna had accidentally slammed her head against the toilet then fallen into a little puddle of pee. Once she was told this she became very upset, returned to Point B, had tea, took a nap, then awoke and went back on the journey to point A. Now with the grim knowledge that she had face planted a puddle of pee. "Something wrong?" Seethe asked as he took notice of her expression, even though he didn't really care and simply wanted to release the iron grip he had on his bladder. It was a polite expression of concern but not a genuine one. "I was given vaguely unpleasant news." Luna said dully. She sighed. "Princess Cadence just gave birth and named her foal 'Woona.' " "Well.....whats wrong with that?" Seethe asked as his rear legs began to shake violently. "'Woona' is an old filly-hood name of mine. I used to say my name like that and it stuck with my sister and mother for a short time. I don't remember ever telling Cadence of this, but I think 'Tia might have. I wished to express my displeasure." Luna explained her facial expression remaining grim and heavily displeased. "Well Celestia is asleep. Probably gonna be asleep for some time." Seethe said leaning to one side to give Luna a view of the sleeping Sun goddess. "May I relay a message?" "Tell her. I...am not amuse." Luna said with a minor twinge of annoyance and then stalked off. "Fine then. 'I...am very amused' " Seethe teased poking his head out side the bedroom. "I give her the message later!" Luna called back annoyed. Seethe heard her laugh faintly as she neared the end of the hall. "Well glad I could be of service." He said to himself as he shut the door. Then resumed his pee dance. "I really need to pee!" He said galloping into the bathroom. _________________________________________________ A few hours after a taco stand halfway across the universe closed, Celestia awoke. She was quite satisfied with the coitus that had occurred between herself and Seethe earlier. This satisfaction generated a good mood in her mind. It was as if she had just had a very good meal, received good news from her doctor telling her that the pain on her rear was not a hemorrhoid, and then taken a nice nap. Seethe was halfway across the room beneath a nearby window, reading what appeared to be a mystery novel. The title was "The Prince in the bathroom with the hammer", Seethe seemed quite enveloped by the words on whatever page he was reading. "How long have you been up, darling?" Celestia asked groggily. Seethe looked up from the novel and smiled. "A few hours. I've been waiting for you to wake. Cadence finally gave birth today." "Took them long enough. It's been at least two decades since they wed and we've had two foals that have grown and might be preparing to have foals of there own soon enough." Celestia said with a few light laughs. She cleared her throat. "Would you like to join me on the bed? Continue on that book, but next to me." "Sure." Seethe said as he got off his rump and trotted around the bed and climbed right up. He buried most of his body beneath the covers and cuddled up against Celestia and went back to reading his book. Celestia smiled and kissed his cheek and levitated a book from the shelf Seethe had found his. She took and old science fiction novel began reading. "So Seethe, how are you liking that novel?" Celestia asked as she leaned her head against his. "It's good. Remind me to never hire a butler that may try to frame me for the murder of you." Seethe joked as he turned a page and wound up on chapter ten. Celestia set down her novel. "Seethe, would you like to go out on a date like we used to?" Seethe was perplexed by the question. "Why would we? We're married, we both have access to each other's privates nearly twenty four, seven, and to top it off isn't having dinner together like we always do a common 'date' activity?" Seethe asked as he wondered what brought this random question to Celestia's mind. "Most of that is true but we don't usually dress up formally and go out dancing for fun or eat dinner for fun much anymore. We do it out of the requests of others. Just last month we went to a gala in Saddle Arabia and you weren't feeling well but went out dancing with me and the leader of the region out of diplomatic courtesy, not of your own accord." Celestia stated. She leaned in close to Seethe and bated her eye lashes. "Now I ask again: would you like to go out on a date?" Seethe smiled. "Fine, fine. We'll go out on a date. What would you like to do?"
