Princess Luna was sad. Hearts and Hooves day was Tomorrow and she didn't have a special somepony. She sighed, dejected. "If only i had somepony to spend it with."
It was almost midnight. She was pacing her room with nothing to do. It's been well over a thousand years since she had anypony to call special. It's true she thought of 'him' every day while she was banished to the moon. Even in her angered state, she still felt love for that earth pony. Much to her dismay, and frustration, she could not remember his name. She stomped her hoof angrily. 
"Am I not allowed true happiness? Am I not allowed a special somepony? Am I cursed to live this long life alone?" She collapsed in sobs onto the floor of her bedroom. "What is a Princess of the night to do?" 
She wiped her tears. "Well duty calls." She sighed, casting her dream walking spell. 
Luna wandered the dreams of many ponies. The newly crowned Princess Twilight dreamed of her new life. It wasn't a nightmare. Little Pipsqueak dreamed of what he would be for next Nightmare Night. Pinkie Pie dreamed of a party she would plan soon. She waved as Luna passed through.
"Hi Princess!" She yelled.
"Hello, Pinkie Pie." She forced a smile.
"Aww what's wrong Princess Luna?" Pinkie asked. 
Luna sighed. "Well, it's just.... I do not have a special somepony to spend Hearts and Hooves day with."
"I'm sorry Princess." Pinkie smiled. "Would you like a party instead?"
Luna shook her head. "No thank you Pinkie Pie. Thank you anyway. I must return to my duties. Goodbye."
"Bye!" Pinkie waved with a grin.
Luna left the pink pony's dream and looked through more dreams. Filthy Rich dreamed of money of course. Pound and Pumpkin cake dreamt of Mr. and Mrs. Cake bringing them toys. More and more dreams she passed through. More and more she felt lonely. There were couples dreaming of what they would do on Hearts and Hooves day more than any other dreams. She wandered through more dreams, feeling sadder with each one. Finally she came across a dreamer in Ponyville. This one was different. This ones dreams were unintelligible. She couldn't make any sense from it. She did manage to catch a glimpse of a colt before she was forcefully ejected from the dream. She stumbled to the ground. 
"What in Equestria was that?" Luna shook her head. She was back in Canterlot castle. "Where have i seen that colt before?" She scratched her mane. "I shall visit Ponyville when Celestia takes over." She looked out the window. She had an hour before Celestia raised the sun.
She cast the spell again, finishing her duty of protecting everyponies dreams. Finally dawn arrived and she returned to the castle.
"You may go now sister. I shall watch the day." Celestia said after Luna appeared.
"Of course, sister. I am going to travel to Ponyville. I have some business to attend to." Luna stepped to the doors.
"I will see you when you return, Luna." 
Luna nodded, opening her wings and taking flight.
She thought the entire way of who this mysterious colt could be. She would know him when she saw him, but who could force her out of her domain? Who had the power to do that other than maybe Celestia and Discord? What would she do when she met this colt? Probably approach him and talk to him. She has never entered his dreams before, so he must be new to Ponyville. He might be a foreigner from Saddle Arabia or Hoofington. She didn't explore the dreams of the ponies there. 
It wasn't long until she landed in Ponyville. She watched the ponies around her bow as they realized who she was. She paid no attention, scanning the plaza. Not here. She searched near the Boutique, Sugarcube corner, the library, and even town hall. Nothing. It was proving to be difficult to find this colt. 
"Princess Luna!" Somepony called out. She turned.
"Oh. Hello Pinkie Pie." Luna smiled.
"Are you on a quest to find a special somepony??" The pink earth pony hopped up and down.
"Not... exactly. I'm trying to find somepony familiar." She looked around.
"Oh okay. I can see you're busy. Goodbye Princess!" Pinkie hopped away.
"How can i hope to find him here?" She mumbled.
"Princess!" Another voice called out.
Luna sighed, turning toward the voice. "Hello, Twilight Sparkle."
"I didn't know you were in town! If I had, I would have greeted you when you got here!" Twilight said excitedly.
Luna waved her hoof. "No need. I am just looking for something." She said, continuing to scan the walking ponies. "Continue with what you were doing, Twilight Sparkle."
"Oh." Twilight nodded. "Good luck Princess!" She walked away.
Luna sighed, beginning to give up all hope of finding the mysterious colt. She hung her head, turning to head back to Canterlot.
"Princess?" She heard for the third time in 10 minutes.
She sighed, lifting her head and smiling, turning to face the source of the voice. When she did, her heart skipped a beat.
"It is you!" The brown earth pony from the dream grinned. "I though i recognized you! You were in my dream last night. I am sorry about the shove though. You know how i can get."
Lunas eyes widened as she remembered who she was talking to. She struggled to speak, but couldn't find words.
"Princess Luna? Are you okay? Do you need water?" The colt walked up to her.
"D... Doctor Whooves? I-is it really you?" She walked around him, examining to make sure. Same brown coat. Same brown mane. Same hourglass cutie mark. Same age. She faced him. "How is this possible? You haven't aged a day. What magic do you poses?"
Dr. Whooves laughed. "My dear Princess, you forget. I have my time machine remember?"
Tears sprang into Lunas eyes. "I thought i would never see you again! All of my years on the moon, i never stopped thinking about you!" She forgot her entire image of being a princess and hugged him, smiling and laughing. "Doctor, you cruel, cruel colt!"
Dr. whooves laughed again, hugging her back. "I missed you too, Princess."
She stood up, regaining her composure. 'You are in big trouble, Doctor."
Dr. whooves smiled more. "But Luna, Is there anything I can do to get out of being punished?"
"Well first you can address me by my proper title." She smiled, unable to be serious. "and two, you have to figure something out."
"Oh?" Dr. whooves raised an eyebrow. "Well, Princess, I do have one thing to ask you."
She tilted her head. "and that is?"
"Will you be my special somepony this Hearts and Hooves day?" 
Luna smiled, embracing him. "Yes."
