	The party was winding down. The noctrali technically on duty had left, but more had stayed, finishing apples and chatting with Apples. If Applejack didn't know any better, she'd say that this would be the first of many noctrali/earth pony unions.

Luna, who had been drinking more cider than she probably should have, suddenly stopped and looked around. "Macintosh and Nova have left," she observed, with just the hint of a slur in her words.

"Yep," Applejack said. "No prizes for guessing what they're up to."

Luna laughed. "It will probably be awkward," she said. "The first time always is." She leaned in close to Applejack and whispered, "But one as special as you deserves more. I promise, dear Applejack, that I shall blow up your mind on our wedding night."

Applejack cracked a smile. "Just 'blow', Luna," she said.

Luna nodded hesitantly and tried agai. "I shall blow you on our wedding night?" 

Applejack snorted a laugh.

"Is that not right, either?" Luna asked.

"N- y- well- Yes and no," Applejack said. "It'll probably be."

Luna humphed and sat back. "Actions speak louder than words," she said. "I shall merely show you when the time comes."

Applejack smiled as she felt Luna wrap her tail around hers. Their conversation lapsed into silence, and that was alright with both of them.

"Is Macintosh afraid of heights?" Luna suddenly asked.

Applejack blinked. That had been unexpected. "Kinda, yeah," she said. "Why?"

Luna frowned. "Then their first night will probably be awkward indeed," she said.

Applejack decided it would be safest to not ask.
