A half hour had passed since Luna departed Canterlot and she was flying over Ponyville.  She headed straight towards Twilight's castle and just like she always is, Twilight was standing on her balcony waiting for her.  Luna landed, hugged Twilight and said, "Twilight, it is so good to see you!"

Twilight replied, "It's good to see you too Luna!"

Luna asked, "How has your day been?"

Twilight replied, "Oh, it's been going.  I spent some time with Rarity while she was making dresses and helped Fluttershy bathe her animals but other than that, not much.  How about you?"

Luna said, "Well I had a most peaceful slumber today but once I woke up and headed downstairs my sister wondered why I was in such a good mood."

Luna's stomach growled so loudly that Twilight could easily hear it.  She suggested, "Luna, you know I care a lot about what you have to say but let's talk about this inside.  Besides, I have something special for you."

Luna excitedly asked, "What do you have for me?"

Twilight giggled, "Close your eyes and hold on to me."

Luna did as requested and followed Twilight.  As they headed further inside Luna could smell something, something that she liked.  She asked, "Twilight, did you have the chefs fix us something special."

Twilight replied, "Not exactly but I'm sure you'll like it."

Finally Twilight let Luna open her eyes and she was shocked by what she saw.  Twilight had set up a candle lit table for two in her bedroom.  On it was a couple hayburgers and a basket of fresh apple fritters.  Luna gasped, "Twilight, did you make this?"

Twilight replied, "The burgers, yes.  The fritters, no.  I got those from Applejack not too long before you got here.  I know how much you like her fritters so I talked to her about making some for us."

While Luna was very happy about the fritters, what real excited her was the fact that Twilight would make hay burgers for her.  She squealed, "You made us hayburgers?  You cooked them yourself?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, I did.  I just wanted to show you how much I love you."

Without even thinking as to whether Spike was around or not, she pounced on Twilight and began to kiss her passionately.  While Twilight was taken off guard by Luna's action, she reciprocated her kisses but soon pulled back, "Luna, you know I love it when we lay on the floor and kiss but I think we should eat our food while it's warm."

Luna got off of her and replied, "I'm sorry Twilight.  It's just that I was so happy that you would make something for me yourself."

Twilight gave her a smile and the two sat down to eat.  Twilight remembered what Luna started to tell her when she first arrived.  She asked, "Luna, when you first got here you said something about your sister wondering why you were in a good mood.  What was that about?"

Luna sighed, "Well as you know for quite some time I was depressed when I would wake from my slumber every afternoon but ever since we have become marefriends, I have been happy upon waking.  What bothers me is why it bothers her.  Canst she just be happy that I'm happy?"

Twilight asked, "Has she asked you anything about why you are happier?"

Luna replied, "Yes, she has.  I am worried about what she may say about us being an item so I tell her that I am looking forward to having snacks and engaging in cheerful conversations with the Apple Family."

Twilight asked, "And I take it she isn't buying it?"

Luna replied, "It doesn't seem like it.  She asks us why I leave so early and given that I am a bad liar, I blush and simply tell her about my plans to visit the Apples.  Then she accused me of dating Applejack!"

Twilight busted out laughing, "Oh Celestia can be so silly sometimes.  She should know that you are just friends with them."  She calmed down a bit and asked, "I thought Celestia had this view of you that you would never date anypony?  I thought you had told her that you enjoy your personal space."

Luna replied, "I have but I think my leaving early every night has brought out a lot of suspicion from her."  She gazed into Twilight's eyes and continued, "For now though, let's just enjoy our supper and cast my sister's suspicions aside."

Twilight nodded in agreement and the two continued to eat their meal.  While they said little during their supper, they knew the night was young and there would be plenty of time for them to express their love as the night progressed.
