Moon's shadow

19 Happy

Finally, the day of the Grand Galloping Gala arrived. Yesterday I went to the 'silver horn' to book a table. They seemed very confused to see this strange creature book a table to eat with the princesses of the night. I also bought some white and blue flowers that matched very well with her coat color and did some other preparations as well.

In the afternoon Celestia teleported with me to Rarity's boutique because of a 'fashion emergency'. Rarity was a very sweet and pretty mare who offered to help me after she heard about my date with Luna. I thanked her from the bottom of my heart for her help. Twilight had agreed to bring my suit over this afternoon. I was pretty sure I had covered all of my bases, everything was prepared for a beautiful evening with the mare I felt so much for.

...

Twilight arrived after lunch and trotted in my room with a big smile.
"Hey Casanova, are you nervous about today?", she asked while she carefully levitated the suit on top of my bed.

"I'm well prepared, but yes, I am a bit nervous. What about you and your friends, you have a big night too."

"I think Rarity is the most nervous since she hopes Prince Blueblood is her true love. I'm just looking forward to spending time with Princess Celestia and talk about all the things I learned."

I looked at the suit.
"Wow, this suit looks great."

"Try it on, let's see if it fits, Rarity could do some last minute changes if something is wrong."

I took the suit from the bed. The fabric was very smooth and cool to the touch. It was in a mix of dark blue and black, once again inspired by Luna.

Twilight stared at me, waiting for the result.

"Would you mind to turn around?", I asked her.

"Really? Is there anything new to see?", she asked laughing but turned around anyway.

It was a fantastic result, a perfect fit. Back at home at suit like this would be 3000 Dollars or more, Rarity's payment idea was: "Next time you are in Ponyville, come by and tell me a bit about the fashion from the place you came from, and have a good time darling."

"Wow, you do look real good in this.", Twilight commented.

"Thanks, Rarity is a genius, please tell her that, and that I'm so happy with it."

"Well, got to go now, I have to get ready myself.", Twilight said. "To bad you don't see how I look tonight."

"I bet you will look great too, you are such a pretty mare. Maybe you too will find your true love tonight."

She had an expression on her face that I could not read.

"I don't think so.", she mumbled and left my room.

...

Finally the sun was setting. The gala would start in about an hour, and we wanted to be out of the palace by then. I knocked on Luna's door all dressed up with the flowers I had bought for her.

As her magic opened her door and gave me a full view, I was absolutely speechless. She was in a light blue dress, not far from the color of her hair, it had little diamonds on it sparkling like stars. Her mane and tail were in a braid. I didn't even know she could do that with the floating hair she had.

"You look breathtaking.", I was finally able to say.

"You too, my love.", she responded and kissed me. "Thanks for these lovely flowers."

We went out to the restaurant before the palace got crowded.

...

We walked down one of the main streets connecting the palace with the shopping district, in which also most of the high class restaurants were located. There had been a pretty large crowd at the castle gates, I felt quite happy about Luna's decision to go somewhere more private than gala. It took us only fifteen minutes to reach our target destination but every single pair of eyes along the way stared at us. I was glad to leave these large crowds behind us as we went through the entrance of 'The silver horn'. Luna was right, until others grew accustomed to our sight we should stay away from too large crowds.

The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, and a waiter brought us to the small séparée I had booked. In this more private setting we sat face to face while we both ate pasta dishes, we even fed each other some in this lovey-dovey way. Despite this wonderful setting I noticed the looks we got whenever someone got a better look at this very odd couple. I started to ignore the other ponies as much as possible, this night only belonged to Luna.

"There is one thing I don't understand.", I asked her. "If I am 'anti-magic', why could I hear Nightmare's voice in my head, isn't that magic too?"

She thought about it for a moment.
"Well, your body does resist magic, but maybe your mind doesn't. I don't know for sure, but I really don't want to talk about her."

"Sorry Sweetheart.", I apologized with a kiss to her, that attracted glances at us.

After that we had a walk in her moonlight, we walked to a little lake nearby where I had prepared a picnic basket. We lay in the grass, and she explained me the meaning of all the stars we could see, sometimes she made them twinkle to draw my view to the right one.

After quite some time the basket was empty, and the stars had been explained.
"Didn't you promise me a massage?", she asked with a seductive glance.

"I was hoping for you to say that.", I answered with a grin. "We should go to my room, Luna. I may have prepared something."
So we walked back to the palace and used one of the side entrance to get to my room unnoticed except for the guards.

I had covered my bed with blue petals, and it was surrounded by red candles.
"Would you please light up the candles for me?", I asked her, which she did in an instant.

"Now I have to undress you.", I continued. "This beautiful dress would be a hindrance for what we are about to do."

I slowly slipped off her dress which produced an exciting sound as it brushed along her coat.

I kissed her neck.

"Would you lie on the bed, belly down my love.", I whispered in her twitching ear.

As she did, I felt the heat radiate from her body.

I started to massage her back and wings with particular attention to the spots I knew.

After some minutes of massage Luna's body started to heat up from it. She glistened in the candlelight as she begun to sweat and an unbelievable sexy scent came from her body. This combined with her moaning put my willpower to the test, while she seemed to be in absolute peace at this moment.
