//------------------------------// // Confessions // Story: Love Under the Moonlight // by SerenaTheMoonPony //------------------------------// "Well...that could have gone a lot worse..." Twilight said once her parents were gone. "Are you okay?" Luna asked. "I'm...I'm fine; I knew this was going to happen regardless of what we did" she replied. "You did the right thing, Twilight" Luna said as she draped one of her cobalt blue wings on Twilight's back. "Yeah, it was better to tell them now rather than wait and have an even bigger argument then the one today" she replied. "At least it's done now..." Luna muttered as Twilight nuzzled her. Later on that day, Twilight sent a scroll to Spike requesting the girls' presence in Canterlot. She also sent six tickets for the next train to Canterlot. The wait for the girls'-- and Spike's-- arrival was long. Long enough for Twilight to somewhat catch up on her sleep-- in loving company of her fiance of course! When Twilight and Luna awoke, Twilight's friends had arrived. The two lovers made their way to the throne room where the elements of harmony and baby dragon were waiting. Twilight was nervous, but no where near as nervous as she was about talking to her parents. Compared to that, this would be a breeze. "Good evening, everypony" Luna greeted warmly. "So, Twilight, you wanted to talk to us about something?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes, huh...how do I put this? I've been...huh...seeing somepony..." Twilight started, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie. "You're seeing somepony? Do we know them? Is that why you're in Canterlot more often now?" She asked. "Yes" She replied with a slight smile. "So who's the lucky stallion?" Rarity asked. "Huh...well...I'm not...huh...seeing a stallion..." Twilight trailed on. "I'm Twilight's mare-friend" Luna said with a smile. "You...and Twilight...are dating?" Applejack asked, almost not believing what she was hearing. "Yes" the princess of friendship replied. "Not to pry darling, but how long as this secret relationship been going for?" Rarity asked. "Since Luna's first Nightmare Night" Twilight replied. "That long?" Pinkie pie exclaimed as the two mares nodded in reply. "Actually, there's another thing we wanted to tell you..." Twilight began, before Luna took over. "A couple of days ago, I decided that I wanted to take a step further into our relationship, so I asked Twilight to marry me" the lunar princess smiled. "To which I gladly accepted" Twilight smiled. "You're getting married?" the five mares and baby dragon exclaimed in surprise. "Y-yes..." Twilight replied. "Congratulations, darling . We are all quite happy for you" Rarity exclaimed, hugging the lavender mare. The other five mares also joined in on the hug. "Thanks girls" Twilight smiled. After a few hours of discussing various subjects including the wedding, a topic came up in which Twilight dreaded. "What do your folks think about all this?" Rainbow asked. "I'd rather not talk about that..." She replied as he friends exchanged concerned glances. "Let's just say it didn't go too well..." Luna said as she draped a wing around the princess of friendship. "I'm sorry Twi; I didn't mean to upset you" Rainbow Dash apologized. "Don't worry about it, Dash" Twilight replied with a faint smile. "How did princess Celestia react to your announcement?" Rarity asked, trying to change the subject. "My sister was quite happy for Twilight and I; she took the news quite well actually" the moon princess smiled. Soon enough, the sun had long since set, and the moon was at it's peak in the sky. The royal couple decided it was time to call it a night. "I think it's high time we get some rest; big day tomorrow" Luna said. "Tell me about it; especially with the announcement in the afternoon..." Twilight replied. "You needn't worry about that, Twilight. I'm sure it'll all be just fine." Rarity exclaimed encouragingly. "I know. Well, see you girls in the morning" she replied before she and Luna returned to their chambers. Once inside, Twilight began to pace around frantically-- as she usually does. "Twilight, relax. Everything is going to be fine; regardless of how things play out tomorrow morning" Luna said in attempt to calm her fiance. "I can't help it, Luna. I mean, what if I am actually pregnant? How the heck are we going to hide that from everypony? What if somepony finds out...?" Twilight began to trail into 'panic' mode. "Twilight, don't worry so much. No matter what we find out tomorrow, I'll be there with you every step of the way. We'll figure everything out; I promise" she reassured, dragging her fiance into the bed beside her. "I love you" the princess of friendship replied, kissing the love of her life. "And I you, my dear"
