Prologue: "Remembering the Past"

Prologue
“Remembering the past”


It was night time and I was sitting in my bed doing a bit of late night reading while I waited for my wife to join me. It was kind of boring but I promised her I’d study in my spare time and I was nothing if not a dutiful husband.

It’s been almost four years to the day, y’know. My, how time flies when you’re happy.’ I smiled when I heard the familiar and welcome voice in my head.

“It’s been that long, huh?” I replied calmly, just as my wife entered our bedroom wearing a set of pajamas that had the sleeves removed. You’ll see why in a second.

“What do you mean, honey?” She asked me, stretching her wings out before crawling into bed with me.

I put an arm around her shoulders as she snuggled up to me and looked with interest at the book I was reading.

“Nothing, really, just thinking that it’s been nearly four years since you pulled me from that other world and into this one, Twilight.” I replied, my finger absently stroking the lavender-colored fur along her arm, which caused her to tremble and give out a small, pleased sigh.

“Has it really only been that long?” She asked me, though her eyes were half-lidded as my fingers continued to stroke her arm “I thought it had been longer; each day has felt like an eternity of bliss since you came here.”

“Well…” I said, my expression darkening “Not every day. But even though we’ve had our bumps, we always made it through. Do you remember when we first actually met, Twi?”

“Like it was yesterday.” She replied dreamily, but then she craned her head to look at me, her eyes regretful “Leon, I know I keep saying it, but I really am sorry that I took you from your world. I know it wasn’t exactly the most beautiful or peaceful place around but at one time you did call it home.”

“Don’t be, Twi.” I replied, giving her a kiss “And I stopped calling it ‘home’ a long time ago; I don’t even refer to it as my world anymore. Equestria is my home now and this is my world, right here with you.”

She giggled and settled against my chest as we looked at the book I was reading.

“Laws Of Equestria, huh?” She said dreamily, because my finger was still stroking her arm “That’s an interesting choice for study.”

“Yes, well, it turns out that being a crowned Prince means I’m expected to act as a moderator when needed, though I think we can let Mayor Mare handle most of the small stuff.” I replied affectionately, giving Twilight a gentle squeeze and she giggled again.

And we lay there together, just enjoying the contact. This was what we loved to do with each other when we were alone; just laying in bed, holding each other and enjoying the sensitivity we feel towards each other, with her most sensitive spots (apart from erogenous areas) being her arms, belly and neck. I only ever stroke her neck and belly when we are alone, and her neck only if I was feeling particularly intimate, otherwise I’d just stroke her arms.

“Leon… do you still miss her?” My wife asked me quietly after a little bit “The girl you came here with?”

At that, my heart became heavy and I was reminded of one the saddest days of my life. I picked up the nearby moogle doll with my magic and levitated over to my hand, where I began to rub the “fur” on its cheek.

“Every day.” I replied sorrowfully “I miss her gentle presence and her sweet smiles, which brightened up my day every time I saw one. Watching her leave was so painful, but at the same time I’m happy for her and who knows; maybe I’ll see her again someday and she’ll be a grown woman with a family of her own.”

Twilight gave a small smile and took the moogle doll, also rubbing one its cheeks.

“I always wondered what her fascination with this, um… what did you call this creature again?”

“A moogle.” I said, patting its pom-pom.

“Yes.” She replied with a blush before clearing her throat lightly “I always wondered what her fascination with moogles was, but looking at this doll now… I think they’re kind of cute.”

“Yeah, though depending on what world you went to, they may not always look the same.” I said, fluffing its pom-pom now “Sometimes they had very distinct feline features or sometimes they looked just like this doll, here.”

“I wish I could meet a real one, just to see what they’re like.” Twilight said, giving the doll a light hug before setting it aside “Now, let’s see what area you’re on in your studies…” And I tilted the book so that she could read it too.

After a moment of the two of us reading the book, Twilight levitated it out of my hand and set it on the nightstand next to me.

“Why don’t you take a break from studying tonight; I’m in the mood for a story.” She said and looked at me again “Would you care to humor me this one time?”

“For you, my love? If you so desired you could shave me, wax me and then use me as a surfboard.” I replied and she laughed at my joke “What would you like to hear?”

She was thoughtful for a moment before she looked at me again, her eyes alight.

“How about our story?” She said as she began to run one of her fingers along my other arm, which was now around her waist, making me shiver with pleasure “I never get tired of you telling it.”

“Ah, and ‘tis a grand story indeed, full of romance, danger and the kind of adventure Daring Doo would be proud of!” I proclaimed, though Twilight cocked an eyebrow at me “Okay, maybe not so much adventure, but there was still plenty of it to go around. Anyway, the story begins… someplace dark…”

Author's Note:

Okay, so this is my first attempt at a full-on story. I'll admit, I'm kinda... nervous about this one.

Onwards and Upwards, as the saying goes, I actually have completed this story though I'll only be uploading Prologue and Ch. 1 to start with and upload more as I edit them (some of my chapters I just don't... feel good about just yet; more on that situation as it develops).

Anyway, if things don't seem to make sense, I sincerely apologize as it's one of the things I'm trying to improve upon in editing.

Enjoy, and stay tuned to my other story "Assist Me!! Princess Luna!"
