Luna's Mane by Maddielittle1998 // Story: The Sun and the Stars: A Twilestia Prompt Collab // by Fuzzyfurvert //------------------------------// by Maddielittle1998 *** Twilight Sparkle sighed wistfully as she stared out of her window at the Canterlot Castle. Today had been a great day with her marefriend because they had visited the local theatre in the city to watch Dragon King the musical. Princess Celestia had recently decided to allow Twilight to court her and things were going well for the most part. They even held hooves for the first time during the play. But Twilight had tried to lean in for a kiss at the end of the showing, when the curtains closed and the theater went black. And Celestia moved her head away slightly before Twilight could place a kiss on her lips. Just enough to tell Twilight she wasn't ready. It made her feel a little sad, but she knew deep down,Celestia wanted to kiss. She was just nervous, and that was ok. The only thing that stopped Twilight from taking their relationship further was Celestia. But that could be easily fixed with a trick she learned from Rarity. And tonight at dinner in the royal dining hall, it would happen. Some way or another. She would get Celestia to kiss her. Luna sat at the right hand of Celestia at the grand table in the eating hall. Twilight walked in, a smirk on her face and her tail swaying teasingly. She could already see Celestia's eyes traveling down Twilights body. Only because Twilight was using her hips to walk more than usual. She was purposefully trying to be suggestive.And so far it was working to her advantage. Celestia fidgeted in her chair as Luna nodded to Twilight as a greeting. "Good evening, Twilight. Nice to see you here for dinner." The moon Princess stated in her serious manner. Twilight smiled deviously and sat down at the table. "Hi Luna, hi Celestia." Just as Celestia was about to say something, Twilight turned her attention to Luna. "Wow, Luna, you look absolutely stunning tonight, can I just say I have always admired your beautiful mane?" Luna raised an eyebrow at her sisters marefriend and put a hoof to her chest." Are you talking to me, Twilight Sparkle?" Twilight grinned and picked up her fork, and took a bite of her salad. "Yes, who else has a mane in Equestria like yours? You have stars flowing through it, it's incredible! It looks exactly like the night sky if you ask me." Luna looked completely surprised at the comment, but smiled anyway. "Thank you, Twilight Sparkle. I do not usually notice it.." Twilight set her fork down and gaped at Luna. "But Luna! how could you not! It is easily the most attractive mane in all of Equestria!" Celestia was watching the two smaller alicorns talk as she sat in silence. She even seemed to be glaring at Luna's mane. Twilight noticed this and smirked even more. Perfect! Luna touched her mane bashfully. "Tia, is it really that attractive?" As she said it, Luna secretly winked at Twilight. Wait, she knew what Twilight was up to? Oh, what a smart mare... Twilight thought. She's playing along with me! Thank you Luna! Twilight looked at Celestia, feeling even more confident in what her little game had caused. Celestia was having trouble controlling herself and it was visible. She looked at Twilight with her eye that wasn't hidden behind hair and Twilight could see the fire within her expression. "Of, course, Luna! it is very beautiful." She answered, between gritted teeth. Twilight felt a twinge if fear for her immortal soul at that moment, but chose to ignored it. If she did it right, like Rarity said, she should be fine and a very happy mare by the end of the night. "Yes, Luna. Why, you are probably the most beautiful mare in Equestria!" Twilight let this last comment sound the most convincing. For she knew this would be the last straw judging by the look in Celestias face. "SHE IS NOT MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN US!" Celestia shouted in the royal Canterlot voice. Celestia was absolutely seething with rage. Her patience had disappeared, and with that, Luna burst into laughter. "AHAHAHAHA! Oh Sister, you should see yourself!!" Luna did a double take over and fell onto her back rolling in laughter on the ground. Twilight was snickering herself, and couldn't stop. For some reason it was just funny to see Celestia so jealous. "We are teasing, darling. I wouldn't really flirt with Luna, you know that!" Twilight gave Celestia her best " forgive me?" Smile. It didn't work and Celestia began to walk away from the dinner table. Twilight caught up to her and placed a hoof on her shoulder. "It was all in good fun, Tia." Celestia looked at Twilight. Her large magenta eyes searching Twilights own darker ones. "I know, darling. I'm sorry for losing myself. But, I don't know, I don't like you complimenting other mares." Celestia hung her head in shame." It's jealousy. Horrible, I know." Twilight brought her hoof to meet Celestias chin. "Well, there is no other beautiful mare to pull off success a jealous roar like you just did." Celestia smiled." Really?" "Really." Twilight said, leaning into Celestia just a little more. Celestia realized how close they were to each other and moved her head to meet Twilight's. Then, without hesitation, she kissed her right on the lips.
