“Alec, what is the meaning of this?” I paused my swim and looked up to Luna, who was back to normal, standing at the edge of the pool. There was a book floating in her magic, but I couldn't make out the title so just shrugged. “It is a book on advanced magic. And one of the pages has a bookmark.” I clamped my jaw shut, this was meant to be a surprise. She started to open the book so I grabbed it with my magic and sent it through a random portal. I'd find it later.
“That is for me to know and you to find out.” She didn't notice the glowing orange portal above her. I made sure it was wide enough, and then started summoning the other end. She then looked up, head tilted in confusion, and I struck, forming the portal under the water, which soaked her. Her face turned back to me with a smile and she jumped into the pool, swimming over and wrapping her fore hooves around my neck.
I could feel her rear leg moving in the water, rubbing against my thigh, as she leant forward and started to nibble on my neck. After a few minutes she pulled away. “So... are you going to tell me now? That page was marked on transformation spells.”
“Still not telling you.” Her rear leg started to get higher, reaching my pelvis. “That's not going to work. Luna, this is... something I need to decide, and I only I can. I've asked for some help from another, but she's promised to keep quiet. Please trust me on this.” She pouted a little but nodded, so I pulled her back for a kiss.
“Hate to break up the moment, but was there something you needed from me, Alec?” We turned our heads to see Twilight sitting on the edge, so I pulled away from Luna and got out. I grabbed a towel and partially dried off, taking a seat at a table on the patio. I looked at Luna, who understood and left, leaving me and Twilight alone. “So, what do you need?”
I summoned the book back and dumped it in front of her, cracking it open to the page I had indexed, pointing to the spell I was interested in. “That one.” She titled her head down and read, before her eyes caught my little extra note.
“Are... you sure? I mean, once you do, there's no guarantee that'll we will be able to get you back. Ever.”
“I know that Twi, that's why I asked for your help. I don't know how to pull it off.”
“Very well. I'll visit Zecora and get the necessary ingredients. This is going to take more than just magic to work. Plus we'll need more magic, and as I assume you don't want Luna to find out, we'll have to get Celestia's help.”
“Yeah... I thought as much. I've already done something to get her attention.”
“Alec, what did you do?” I just smirked back at the glare Twilight was giving me.
“The cake is a lie.”
Celestia made her way through the castle, heading towards the kitchen. Her mind was set on one thing, and she was going to get it, diet or not. Buck what her PR ponies told her, she was going to show Equestria that you didn't need to be stick thin. Sneaking her head in the door to make sure the coast was clear, she smiled as she found the room empty. She crept forward to ensure any ponies laying in wait wouldn't find her, and used her magic to open the fridge, a trickle of drool dropping from her mouth as she beheld the treasure on the shelf.
Her hoof slowly moved towards it, mere inches away, when it disappeared with a flash. She shut the fridge with a confused look, turning to find the cake on the counter behind her. She once more approached, and yet again it was teleported away. She tried to use her magic, but this time it left the kitchen entirely, a piece of parchment in its place. She floated it over and gave it a read.
Princess Sunbutt,
I have been informed that you are only allowed cake
on special occasions. Therefore I have taken it upon
myself to ensure that you stick to your prescribed diet.
I have instructed all the cooks, in your name of course,
to inform me of when a cake is baked, so I can enchant
it, not allowing you to get any. Once you have proven you
will no longer let it go to your flanks, you can have cake
any time you want.
Luna's consort!
She set the letter down, unblinking. How did he find out? Why was her magic not beating his? She set these thoughts aside and summoned more of her magic, attempting to get the cake back. Instead a long yellow object appeared with another roll of parchment on it.
PS: Here, have a banana instead.
And this one is for eating, you dirty mare!
She lit the paper on fire, hiding any evidence away. She pushed her magic throughout the castle, before teleporting to the pool and standing next to the table with a scowl on her face. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted the plate in his hands, a similar one placed in front of Twilight, who looked up sheepishly from the slice she was eating. Celestia reached her hoof towards the cake, but it once more teleported away from her. “Alec.”
“Celestia.”
“Might I have a slice of cake?”
“No.”
“And why not.”
“Because we are not at the party.”
“And how does one get to the party?”
“You need to assume the party submission escort position.” She wracked her brain, going through all the policies and modes of decorum she could think of, coming back empty. “Don't look at me, even I don't know what it is. But, I may allow you a slice. If you help me.”
“Very well, what do you need?” A book was floated over and she gave it a glance, mumbling over the first few paragraphs. “...Starwirl's theories on transforming one species to another... PERMANENT?”
“Shss! Not so loud! This is meant to be kept quiet!” She then fully realised his intentions, and what it would mean. He seemed determined to do this, and the look on his face told her that he wouldn't be dissuaded from it. “So, when do you think we can get this done?”
“Once we have the reagents, it should only take a while. I assume you'll be collecting them, Twilight?”
“Yes, but it will be a while yet, some of these flowers aren't in season.”
For the past two months Luna had grown suspicious. What ever Alec was up to, it was clear that there were more ponies helping than just Twilight. She decided to take some time off, and head up north to the Crystal Empire. So there she was, dozing on the seat when the compartment door slid open slowly. Her ear twitched as the pony entered, but she chose to remain with the image of being asleep. Whoever it was got closer, and she picked up on a familiar scent, fighting to keep herself from smiling.
Instead of the expected kiss, she let out a pleasurable gasp of air, eyes snapping as a shudder ran through her body. He had tried something new, deciding to bite down gently on her horn. By the time she got her breath back, he was sitting down opposite her with a grin on his face. “So, I guess we've both got business up here, huh? You should have said, we could've travelled together.”
“If I had known, I might have done so. But on the other hoof, you are being frustrating with what ever you are planning! I need some time to myself.”
“Frustrating huh? Well, if you want to feel that way.” His horn glowed a little, and before she could react, she was on her back in the air. She tried to break free with her magic, but his was stronger. Sure, she could move the moon, but when it came to sheer battles of will, he won... every time. She was slowly floated over in front of him, and his hand began to run through her tail.
“Alec, not yet!” Her horn flashed once and she twisted her neck around. “There, we are soundproofed.” He pressed his muzzle closer, and she began to feel his hot breaths against her flank. Her tail was brushed aside and she then felt them drifting across her mare hood. “Please, whenever you are ready.”
He got up instead and walked round to where Luna's head was, smiling devilishly at her. “Hmm, not yet. You see, you wanted frustrating. So, you can be frustrated.” Her eyes went wide as she felt the buzzing. How the hay had he managed to place that on her without her knowing. After a few seconds it stopped, and she saw a small lump of plastic in his hand. His finger moved a little, and the toy started up again.
“O-o-oh come on! T-t-t-that's not fair!” It went off again, and she pouted at him, but it did nothing to dissuade him. She still had use of her wings, so used them to propel herself over, using her magic to undo his trousers. She gave a gasp as he started the vibrator up again, and she proceeded to continue removing his trousers, and then his underwear. She knew he would already be aroused, and licked her lips. “Only if you leave it on.”
He clicked the remote once and she gave a moan of pleasure, before dipping her head, and blowing across his shaft. She teased him a little at first, brushing across him with her wings. She gave one last smile before parting her lips and taking him in her mouth, tongue swirling as she moved her head down. She was slowly flipped the right way up and set down on her hooves.
The stimulation between her legs was still going, and she reached a fore hoof down to assist, moaning around his stallion hood. She closed her mouth slightly, pulling back whilst biting slightly, making him give off a hiss of air. She felt his hand come down and run through her mane, before going still. She had done this enough times to know that this was a sign that he was close. So she pulled away and stared at him, smirking as his face dropped. “First... you please me.”
He began to smile, slowly standing and ensuring the door was locked. He turned back to her and waved a hand at the bunk. She trotted over and laid on her back, her fore hooves going behind her head, and her rear legs slowly spreading. Alec walked over and dropped to his knees, placing his arms over her legs. He started slow, kissing around the edges, before running his tongue across her. His hands then ran through her wings, and she let out a loud moan as he gripped them at the base.
After five minutes she was breathless, and she couldn't wait any longer. Using her magic to push him away a little, she beckoned him closer when he looked up. He stood and towered over her, a soft smile on his face, before he leant down and she felt his chest press against her. And then the train lurched, making him thrust forwards into her. The screams she made were enough to pierce the spell on the compartment, but they were fortunately drowned out by the shocked noises the other travellers were making.
I stood on the bridge of my destroyed ship, looking over the salvageable stuff I had gathered. It was separated into two piles. One was stuff that the operator would need hands to use, the rest could be used by anypony. I picked up the stuff the ponies would be able to use, taking it outside and dumping it on the cart that was waiting, nodding to the two ponies attached to it. I'd see that stuff in Canterlot. I looked down at the smiling mare next to me. “And the rest is yours. I've deleted all the computers, there are no weapons, and nothing inside that can be used to harm any other ponies.”
“It will make quite a museum piece, thank you. I still wish you'd let me pay for it.” I shook my head at her, smiling at the same time.
“It's scrap. I have no use for it, and I'm pretty sure nopony wants to leave this world. Even if they did, it's never going to fly again. I made sure of that. Enjoy yourself.” With a squeal of glee she jumped through the hatch, a stead stream of mumbling coming out as she poured over the insides. I began my slow walk back to the Crystal city, when I noticed a shadow tailing me from the trees. I stopped walked and readied my magic. “You might as well come out, I know you're there.” Several minotaurs stepped out, one blocking the road in front of me. I looked to his eyes to see it was my friend from way back.
“I've finally caught up with you. Time to teach you a lesson.” I raised up my right arm, the back of my hand facing the ground, curling my fingers into my palm. The others slowly surrounded me, getting closer.
“You want to teach me a lesson? Well, can you do things like this?” I snapped my fingers open, conjuring a ball of blue flame in my hand. They all glanced at each other nervously, and I summoned a ball of lightning in me left hand. “Fine, if you want to go...” My horn flashed, and a scroll appeared, dropping to the floor and rolling to the leaders feet.
He picked it up and read it over, eyes going wide at the contents. He dropped it to the floor, and with a huff walked away, the others following confused. I waited till they had left my sight, and walked over to the letter, bending down to read it.
Alec,
Everything is ready upon your return to Canterlot Castle.
When you arrive, head straight to Luna's library, we have
a plan to keep her away. I am still wary of your reasons,
but after my latest letter from Cadance, I at least know
one of them. I can also tell she will be overjoyed. I look
forward to your return.
Princess Celestia.
To Iron Will,
Don't even think about it, not unless you
would like an apartment viewing the world
from the moon. Do not test me.
It was time. I suddenly felt uneasy about my decision, but then I thought of Luna, and her smile, and her eyes. I was doing this for her, not because of her. I let my magic flow, picking out the nearest strong source, and teleported my way there. Shining Armour's head shot up, his cheeks flustered as he stared at me. “W-w-what is the meaning of the i-i-i-intrusion?”
“Thought I'd just come to let you know I'll be leaving soon. Celestia says it's ready.” I then spotted a small bit of hair sticking out from under the desk, am mix of pink, purple and yellow. “So yeah, I guess I'll see you later Armour. Oh, and goodbye to you as well, Princess.” There was a thud as she banged her head in the underside of the desk, and I walked away laughing. I could just hear their voices through the door.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes Shiny, I'm fine. Now, where were we?”
“Are you sure you want to...”
“Do me a favour, and just shut up like a good colt? There, isn't that better? And now we can continue.”
Luna trotted through the halls of the castle confused. She had received a letter simply saying 'throne room, now', but she didn't recognise the hoof writing. She stopped and blinked when she reached the entrance hall, two rows of guards forming a path to the throne room doors. Each one was in their full armour, spears pointed to the ceiling on their right. She approached the first pair, who tilted their spears until they formed an arch, the rest following suit as she walked forward. What is the need for such a vanguard? This is only used on special occasions, but there is nothing special about today.
The doors swung open to reveal a darkened room, the normal lights replaced with blue flames, give a subdued feeling. The row of guards continued inside, still creating the arch as she approached the dais, but had to stop as a row of guards prevented an further ingress. A soft voice rolled down from the throne. “Well, Captain, what should we do with this one?” She couldn't make out the speaker, as there was a shadow covering the view. To one side were the Element Bearers, surrounded by guards.
“I don't know sir, but I don't think we can do the same.” Luna's eyes went wide, that was the voice of their Captain! A light snapped on, drawing her attention to a corner. She saw Celestia in a cage, hoof stretched out to try and grab the cake that was just out of reach. There was a magic cancelling ring locked around her horn. “She's quite a looker. Why don't you take her as a mate, sire.”
“Hmm, not a bad idea. I would say I see a promotion for you in the future, but there's not much higher you can go. Princess Luna!” She whipped her head back to the shadow, not understanding how this could have happened without their knowledge. The shadow moved, making it's way down the steps. The guards parted, and the swirling darkness crept even further forward. It lowered to the floor, and the voice spoke again. “Would you do me the honour... of being my wife?”
There was flash of light and the curtains were drawn back, the room returning to normal. Celestia was now standing in front of her, to the side of the shadow, happily munching on a slice of cake. A beige hoof came through the swirling, a open box resting on it. There sat a beautiful ring, and the shadow gradually faded away, revealing a smiling alicorn stallion. Tears began to form as she stared into his piercing blue eyes, who clashed with her own, filled with hope. And then she realised who this was. “A-a-alec?”
“Yes Luna?” She jumped forward, knocking the ring away as she pinned him to the floor, locking their lips in a passionate kiss. After a few moments she pulled away, looking up to see Celestia smirking, a hoof pointed at Luna's wings, which were fully outstretched. She returned her gaze to the stallion on the floor.
“If you would have me, then... yes. I would love to have the honour of you as my husband.” His hoof came up and wrapped around her neck, pulling her back for another kiss as the room erupted with thunderous applause.
