A Beautiful Night

Something He Can't Place

It was hard for her to accept that somehow he was revived, but her sadness grew when she heard him say he couldn't remember anything but her smile. She asked him if he felt anything when he did remember it though, but he told her that he didn't feel anything special about it. Just that it did make him feel good to see her smile, but he also said that he thought it would make him feel that same way by making anypony smile.

"Hey Luna are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine." She answered.

"Well thank you for letting me stay for the past few nights, and i'm sorry i didn't know you were a princess." He said looking away in shame.

"It's fine, like i told you me and you were close friends before you lost you're memory." She said looking at him with a bit of sadness.

"I know, and thank you for showing me back to my house. Though i will say i can't remember it, it still feels good to be home. But it doesn't exactly feel like my home for some reason." He said. "And i don't think it has something to do with my problem, it just feels like something is missing."

"Oh, try not to worry about it. You probably just saying that because of you're memory loss." Then she remembered. "And here before i forget, you told me to hold on to this." Levitating a ring over to him.

"Well thank you, but i thought this belonged to you? I mean it looked so lovely on you and all." He said giving her a little bit of a confused look.

"No, it belongs with you. It's your family ring and all. And here take this." She said pulling off the necklace, and she already felt bare and even more alone without it.

"The ring i guess i can understand, but you seem really attached to that necklace. Are you sure the one who gave it to you is alright with you giving it to me?" He asked, concern going into his eyes.

"I'm sure, and besides i'm not as attached to it as much as you think." Though she subconsciously reached up to wear it had laid. "It was just another thing you gave me to hold on to."

"Sounds like we were pretty close." He said taking the necklace gently. "But i think you should at least keep this, for my thanks and all." Putting the necklace on her again, and she felt herself wanting to kiss him lo thank him.

"Thank you." She said forcing herself to not kiss him.

She decided a few days ago not to tel him about their relationship before he died and came back alive. As she didn't want to make him upset, and he hadn't really asked about his life for some reason. But she just figured that he wanted to remember on his own, though while he was asleep she did try to use a very powerful memory spell on him.

Though the spell seemed to not have worked she still felt guilty about not asking him if he even wanted to remember. As much as she wanted him back, she doubt they could ever be the way they were. The reason why is because she figured just because he remembered his feelings and them being together wouldn't actually mean he would still feel them.

"I think i'm going to head back to the palace, and if you ever need to talk you know where to find me." She said with a sad smile.

"Okay, but before you go do you think you can tell me what's wrong?" He asked with concern. "I mean it sounds like we were close, but it seems that we might have been closer then what you're telling me. I know i can't remember anything but it does feel like we know each other on a whole different level."

"We were very close friends and that's all we were. It just seeing you not actually being you has taken a bad turn for me you know?" She asked lying.

"Yeah i know what you mean. Having a close friend wake up with no memory must suck. But if you ever want to talk about the real reason you're upset then like you said, you know where i am." He gave her a small smile.

"I'll keep that in mind, and don't worry nothing is really bothering me." She walked out of the door and took off before he could say anything.

Tears had started to roll down her face as she flew. She couldn't bring herself to tell him anything, though she knew she eventually would have to tell him the truth. As he seems to be able to see through her like how he used to. back when he and her were together.

-----

When he saw her take off looking upset he felt something warm roll down off his face. He put his hoof up and felt a tear escaped, this brought some questions to his mind. But the one that he kept asking was why did it feel like she was hiding more about their relationship than what she lead on.

Not wanting to think about it, he decides to explore his house that he had apparently owned. Like he said it felt good to know that he had a home, but he also meant what he said about it something missing something. Though he couldn't put his hoof on it, and he let's out a long sad sigh as he started to feel alone.

-------

"So i take it you haven't told him anything about you two or his life?" Her sister asked after she had calmed down.

"No i didn't. I don't want to try to make him feel obligated to be with me, and i don't want him to remember his tutored past either." She said quietly.

"Is that why you tried a memory spell then?" Her sister asked.

"I know that was a stupid idea, especially now that i don't want him to remember." She answered letting out a sad sigh.

"Then what are you going to do then?" She felt the concern from her sisters words.

"Maybe just be friends with him, and try to move on with my feelings." She answered.

"You know that's easier said then done. I mean he was your special somepony, and nothing will ever change that. But if that is what you honestly want then go ahead and do it and i hope whatever you decide will make you happy. And also make him happy as well." Her sister said. "I think i'll leave you alone for now and let you make up you're mind." With that her sister left.

She laid there in her bed trying to figure all of it out. If she told him he might feel like he had to take her as his special somepony, and she didn't want to force him into a relationship if he wasn't willing. Though it pained her heart as she still love's him as she did But she knew for right now that it would be better for both of them just to be friends for the moment.
