Generations to come.

The Beginning

"So..." I mumble."Why are we here again?"
"Because a cup of cocoa outside in the sunset is gorgeous. Just like you are." He smiles.
I blush.
"Th-thank you." I stammer.
Why do I still act so shy around him? I mean... it's been like, two months now, right? I decide I shall not look at him whenever he talks. I feel a knot twist in my stomach whenever I look at him now.
"The suns so warm even though it's winter." He yawns, stretching out on his chair.
"Maybe that's the cocoa." I mumble.
"Yeah..." He grins.
He has a goofy grin on his face. I manage to sneak a look.
"So..." He yawns." The moons coming-" He jerks himself awake.
"Whoa!" He yells." Moon Ribbon, look! The moons rising... wobbly!"
Uh oh. Twilight must still be having trouble. I wouldn't blame her. It took me three years to master that technique. But for now, I think Lotus is suspicious.
"Doesn't matter. It's still rising." I force a smile.
"Do you think Luna is dying?" He asks, his voice shaking.
The thought brings shudders through-out my body.
"No!" I squeak."She's probably just tired!"
"What ever you say..." He mumbles.
He returns to his seat reluctantly.
"So..." He starts.
I duck my head.

Lotus' view

"So..." I smile.
This is it. The perfect timing. When the horizon shows a line of a single brightness, and the blue and purple sky unite to make the starry night.
"So, you like coffee, huh?" I ask.
I just can't contain my smile.
"I do." She answers, without looking up.
I smile more, and ask the second question.
"Do you like the night sky?" I ask.
"Of course I do." She replies almost grumpily, like it was obvious. Still, though, without looking up.
"So... Moon Ribbon. Will you marry me?" I ask, blushing.

~o~

I couldn't hear most of the rest of the words he said. The world turned into a blur. What did he just say? He asked if you would marry him. What does that mean? He wants your hoof in marriage of course. Of course. Of course. Of... course...? Everything. These whole two months. Weren't as confusing as this one moment.
"I do!" I blurt out, looking up.
I wasn't really yelling though. But it was quite a rushed 'I do.' I look at Lotus' empty seat. Where did he go? Just then, Lotus face rushes next to mine, and we kiss.

This is the beginning of our life together.

A wedding. Sadly, Luna can't attend. But-
"Cel- Sun!" I hear a voice yell."Hey, sis! My wedding is tomorrow!"
It was Luna. She was gone for quite a while. But I'm glad she wasn't nightmare moon.
"Hello, Moon!" I smile, and I puck my lips for a minute as the other ponies zip up the tight wedding dress, but I recover quickly. We hug.
"How did you find me." I ask sternly.
She holds up a letter.
"It was sent to every one in this area." She explained.
"Oh." Was all I could manage to say."So... if tomorrow's the wedding. Who's the groom?"
She knocks on the door, and a blue pony walks in.
"Hello. My names Lotus." He smiles.
"Hello." I smile.
I can't help but force myself to hold in tears. This is the colt marrying my little sister. What a happy thought. The wedding bells ring. This is the day. A day I never imagined. Now, it's not just a day, it's reality. I walk out, nodding my head to Luna and Lotus. A signal for them to follow me.
They sneak into the crowd, and I walk out, into the aisle. A mischievous voice whispers into my head,'Don't trip, don't fall, don't fart don't-' I silence it by looking around. But it was too late, I had already reached the end of the aisle when I got a peek.
"Sun Star, do you take Comet Confetti as your newly wedded husband?" The priest pony asked.
"I do." I smile.
"Comet Confetti-" The priest starts.
"I do." He smiles.
"Then I demand you two newly weds mare and colt!" He announced." You may kiss the bride."
We kissed. It was like our first kiss. Long, and wonderful. I wanted to savor this moment. But everypony knows, even forever has to end sometime. We pull back, and smile at each other. I throw the bouquet of flowers into the air as we walked, as it seemed, into the rising sun.

Today is the day. The day of my wedding. It's strange how it's directly after Celestia's, but I guess that gives Lotus something to write about.
"Which one?" Coco Pommel asks.
"Um. That one?" I reply.
"Okay." She smiles wryly.
So, yeah. I had my wedding. Only mine, mine was at night.
"Okay, you're ready." She grins." Have fun."
I smile.
"Thanks," I nod my head.
I walk down the outdoor aisle. My wedding. Just how I imagined it. Surrounded by moon lilies, and caressed by the moons beams. We say our wedding vows, and the first dance comes. It is strange. I have always imagined my wedding to be in the castle. But here, it's better that he doesn't know I'm a princess. Like I said before, if he knew I was her, he would treat me differently.

But how will he find out that your Princess Luna? You can't stay Like this forever.
How will he react?
