I was really happy about my routine and my life in Equestria in general, I thought everything was going great, and it was for a really long time, I was happy there, I noticed Luna was happy too, and it didn't seemed like Equestria was facing any sort of danger, so I assumed everything was just fine, this was until one day. 

I planned a new trip like I normally did and gathered all my stuff for it, I was going out when I ran into Luna, right when i found her she seemed happy to see me, then she noticed I had all my stuff and wondered about it. 
"I'm going on a trip right now" I said, that's when things got bad. 
"oh!" she said as her smile faded away from her face "I see." 
"I'll tell you all about it once i get back" I replied. 
"good" she said with an upset tone. 

I didn't really paid attention to this reaction in the moment, I was focusing solely in my trip, which made me oblivious of anything else. 
"well, bye Luna see you soon" 
"bye" she replied with a tone that seemed more angry than just upset. 

I was heading for the secret exit, and as I was getting out of the castle I realized what had just happened. 
"I'm an IDIOT!" I told myself. 
Luna was mad for some reason and I didn't really cared about this, further more I knew it was my fault she was mad, even though i wasn't sure how, exactly. I decided to go back to talk to her, apologize for being so rude and unresponsive, and try to find out what had i done to make her mad. 

I went back in the castle and I headed for her room, as I approached I noticed two guards were just passing in front of the room, I started backing off so I wouldn't be noticed, but doing this made me hit a table behind me and make a jar fall, the noise of the jar breaking called the guards attention, and in a couple seconds they were staring at me, it took me about a second to think about it but I decided to run from them, I managed to get some advantage from them and I got out trough the escaping road and hid in the castle's surroundings. 

The guards rose the security and started checking all the possible entrances looking for intruders, I stayed there waiting for a while since I wanted to get back in the castle so I could talk to Luna, but it was impossible, I had decided to postpone my trip until I could fix what was happening with Luna, but the guards made it impossible for me to enter the castle again so I decided to take on my trip as planned. 

I thought to make the trip shorter so I could get back earlier but it was futile, this trip took me longer than any i had made before, I was out for over 2 years, this was because of the terrain conditions that made me travel a really short distance in a really long time, I used this time to think about what had happened with Luna, I started looking at the options. 

I knew it was my fault but I wasn't sure why. I knew it couldn't be the surprise of me going on a trip without any previous notice, I had done that before and sometimes I would have gone without even she knowing. 
I knew it was my fault since I knew I was her only friend, and anything that made her mad she would tell me, unless it was me that had made her mad. 

When I got back to the castle, after over 2 years, I hadn't figured out yet what had happened and I couldn't take it out of my head, it was night when I got back and the guards had already dropped the excessive security they had put up when i left. I entered my room and cut my hair and shaved, I then decided to go and look for Luna. 

I first when to her room and I quickly noticed she wasn't there, so I decided to go to the gardens, I didn't saw anything when I got there and I almost dropped my search that night until I heard a *clip-clop* noise. 

I turned my head and saw Luna sitting on the roof of one of the towers hitting it with her hooves like she was making the rhythm for a song, I waved my arms so she would notice me, and she did eventually, she smiled right when she saw and recognized me, she then asked me to join her up there, I accepted and started climbing the tower, I noticed she tried to help me with her magic but I was able to climb on so she let go. 

once I got up there I sat next to Luna and greeted her, then it got to a really awkward silence, I didn't knew what to say, I wanted to talk about the reason she had got mad, but it was so much time ago that I thought she would had forgotten, I also thought that if I started talking about my trip she would get mad again. 

The silence lasted for a while until she broke it with a question. 
"Why... " she paused "why do you think something, so big and beautiful as the moon obeys somepony as small and worthless as... me?" 
The question confused and surprised me, I quickly noticed that it wasn't what she wanted to ask but then she didn't wanted to remain mute so she just asked whatever came to her mind, I looked at her in the eyes and noticed that despite it wasn't the question she originally intended to make she still expected an answer. 

I wasn’t sure how to answer it, and I didn't had much time to think of an answer, so I just let myself go and i let my mouth say whatever she could. 
"Why wouldn't it?" I started "you are, the kindest and greatest pony that has ever live in this land, and the moon just knows that you will only use that power for good, so she has no reason to not obey you" 
It took me a second to realize what i just had said, and I felt ridiculous, I looked at Luna again hopping to see her laughing and making fun at what I had said, but instead she just looked at my eyes with a pleased expression in her face, she was happy. 

I opened my mouth to say something else, but before I could even make a noise Luna... she kissed me. My mind became blank at the moment and I wasn't sure how to react, I wasn't even able to move while we were kissing. The kiss lasted a couple seconds and then she moved her head back, my mind was still blank and the only thing I could think of, or do was kiss her again and I did, after the second kiss was done we looked at each other for a while mute, the only thing in my mind was still kissing her, and when I tried to kiss her again she backed off, I was mute, unable to say a thing and I could only watch as she backed more and more and then flew away, I stood up and tried to stop her but I was still mute, and when I was finally able to say something she was already to far away to hear me. 

I just saw her fly away and I stayed there even when I couldn't see her anymore, after a while I decided to go back to my room, I was still confused, and I thought that it would become clear after I went to sleep, but I wasn't able to do it, I stayed awake all night thinking about it and I still didn't understood what had happened.
