//------------------------------// // Celestia Investigates // Story: Hidden Desires 2: A Discovery, a Confrontation and Acceptance // by StormLuna //------------------------------// An hour after Luna took off towards Ponyville, Celestia did the same. She was bound and determined to figure out why Luna's behavior had changed so much. She was dead set on figuring out why she was in such a good mood, blushed more often and most of all, why she would leave so early. When she got to Ponyville, she headed to Sweet Apple Acres first. When she arrived she saw Applejack out by the barn. She landed down next to her and asked, "Hi Applejack, can we talk?" Applejack bowed and replied, "Of course we can your Majesty. What do y'all want to talk about?" Celestia began, "Can I ask you a question? Has my sister been coming over here every evening for fritters?" Applejack replied, "No, she hasn't. Why do y'all ask?" Celestia continued, "Well she has been leaving the castle every night immediately after she raises the moon and eats a light supper. She has been claiming that she comes here for fritters and cheerful conversations." Applejack asked, "Hmm...I wonder why she'd be claiming that. Is there anypony else that she might be coming to see?" Celestia asked in return, "I was about to ask you just that. Has anypony been altering their activities right after sundown that you would know about?" Applejack replied, "Well not any that I can think of but earlier today Twilight dropped by to see if I could make some fritters that would be ready by sundown. She's asked me for fritters for one reason or another before but today she seemed more insistent, almost like it would be life or death if I didn't have them ready on time." She began to laugh, "Wouldn't it be funny if Luna had been coming to see Twilight all this time?" Celestia gasped, "Luna come to visit Twilight every night? I know that Luna is closer with her than she is your other friends but Luna doesn't seem like the type to visit the same pony every single night." Applejack replied, "Well whenever her name is mentioned Twilight has been blushing here the past couple weeks." Celestia asked, "Seriously? Twilight has been blushing at the very mention of Luna's name?" Applejack replied, "Yeah, she has. She tries to lie her way out of it or claim that she wasn't blushing. Most of us think she has a crush on Luna but Rarity seems to think they have something going on. I think that's a stretch but I could be wrong." Celestia said, "Thank you Applejack. I think I'm going to go pay Twilight a visit and find out." After they finished their supper Luna and Twilight headed back out to the balcony to talk some more. "Thank you for the meal Twilight, it was delicious." Twilight replied, "You don't have to thank me Luna, I love you and I thought that if I cooked you something rather than the chefs, that it would have more meaning." Luna pulled Twilight close and continued, "It would have meant a lot to me either way but it is rare for a princess to cook her own meals, much less cook for anypony else." Twilight moved in for a kiss, "I would do anything for you Luna. If cooking a meal for you every night would make you happy, I would gladly do it." Twilight moved closer, parted her lips and the two began to kiss passionately. As their tongues began to fight over entry into the other's mouth, they rolled onto the balcony and began to grope one another. Luna began to massage Twilight's flank, right where her cutie marks were. She pulled back, "Oh Luna, that feels so good! That feels so good!" Twilight began to reciprocate, causing Luna to feel the same pleasure. The two began moaning loudly and calling out one another's names. They were in such ecstasy that they did not notice a shadow fly above them. A pony landed on the balcony and stood there watching with a smirk on her face. This pony couldn't help but snicker realizing the situation that is about to materialize.
