2. The First Day and Night - Part Two
Letters From a Little Princess Monster
The First Day and Night - Part Two
...to celibate our first night in ponyville mom says we can have a sleepover. i did not think i wood like it much because nopony ever stayed at night in my house before but we all stayed in the work room except princess celesta who went back to the city and big mac who said he had to take a cold shower or twelve. it was a lot more fun than i thought but mom threw her back out playing twistar and trixie kept trying to leave to take a shower too. i wish you could stay here and help me not be scared but i know princess celestia really needs you and i have all my friends not to be scared with. i hope you and miss smarty pants make a bunch of friends too and visit me a lot so we can be friends too.
the end
i just remembered. i dont know if i should use my old name any more. that part of me seems gone and faded like it was in the sun. i remember some things so well and other things are like a dream, so i was thinking about making a new name. like twinkle. or star. trixie says i should be menace and applebloom says monster is just fine, and mom is really liking flower. i could use them all like trixie i suppose.
good night. good dreams
monster star twinkle flower menace.
The little alicorn filly blew gently over the paper until all of the ink had dried, and after one quick review for damp spots, she wrapped it around a stick and held it over the baby dragon’s mouth. Tickling the dragon on the side the way Trixie had taught her made the little dragon burp out a belch of green fire just big enough to consume the scroll, and Monster watched in fascination as the sparkles of the burning scroll wafted out of a nearby window and on their way to the light princess. This new world was just filled with exciting things, and although there was a lot to be scared of, there were so many more things she was looking forward to experiencing.
Listening to the faint whistling snores of her friends, Monster curled up against the little purple dragon and closed her eyes, asleep even before the letter reached its target.
---~^~^~^~^---
Morning dawned brightly over Sweet Apple Acres, the first blinding beam of light breaking through the window outside of Big Mac’s bedroom to illuminate the room and bringing him to that drowsy state of wakefulness that always preceded the thought of the long line of chores awaiting his attention. He rolled out of bed to trudge to the bathroom, a routine that had occupied nearly his entire life at the farm ever since he had gotten old enough to put on a yoke and pull a plow. It was a welcome routine, so well worn and polished that he could have followed in pitch darkness through the familiar dents he had worn in the floorboards of the house. But today, something was different.
For one thing, it was not morning yet.
And for a second thing, the light was not coming from the sun.
Thick silver rays of moonlight cascaded down from the radiant sphere in the sky, formed into a beam so coruscatingly bright that it seemed solid enough to stand on. It certainly was solid enough for the dark figure that Big Mac saw up in the sky, sliding down the ray of moonlight as if it were the silver road beneath a goddess, lowering herself from the heavens where she belonged to touch one hoof upon base earth. Or in this case, the floor of Big Mac’s bedroom as four silver-clad hooves touched upon the floorboards with faint clicks, and Princess Luna looked down at the prostrate stallion bowing before her.
“Arise, Son of Equestria.” Her voice was as delicate as a summer breeze, and it drew Big Mac to a standing position as smoothly as if he had been levitated there, although his knees shook and bumped against each other.
“We have come to apologize for the actions of our sister, Macintosh of the Apple clan. She did force herself upon thee in a manner not appropriate in any locale, let alone a public gathering of thy family.”
“T-that’s f-fine, Your Highness,” blurted out Big Mac. “It’s fine. R-really.”
Luna’s brows drew together as she regarded the nervous stallion at closer range. “Do you fear me, Macintosh Apple?”
“Jest a tad, Your Highness.”
“Oh.” The gentle roil of stars and nebulae in Luna’s mane slowed to a halt as she turned for the open window. “We see. We apologize for our actions in addition to those of my sister, Macintosh Apple. We meant to assuage thy fear of my sister, and we did naught but add to thy discomfort.” Princess Luna made a small gesture and a ragged lump of cloth appeared, which she held against her chest as if it were made of priceless diamonds.
“Smarty Pants,” said Big Mac, startled into speech by the sight of the ragged doll. Two mismatched buttons had been sewn on for eyes and a few precise stitches around the outside edge showed the frayed edge of what appeared to be a small tablecloth, but it was recognizably the same doll he had returned to Monster a few short weeks ago.
“Y-you know of our gift?” Luna looked perplexed for a moment before taking a deep sniff of the ragged cloth, then moving up to Big Mac and placing her nose into his mane. A second sniff seemed to bring the glitter of a thousand sparks dancing down his neck and across his flank before Luna backed up a step with a smile. “Thou art the stallion. The one who earned the trust of Twilight Sparkle, who saved me from my darkness. Thank you.”
Big Mac twisted in embarrassment, grinding the toe of one hoof into the floorboards.
“Tweren’t nutting, really. She just needed a little trust and some friendship to get over her fears.”
Her enigmatic smile slowly faded as Luna turned back to the window. “I shall not trouble thyself with my fearsome presence any more this evening. Good Night, Macintosh.”
His big head came up abruptly, eyes wide in realization. “You’re scared of me too, just like her.”
Luna hovered at the windowsill, her wings extended much as a goddess would do to ascend back into the heavens, only a goddess probably would not have a rag doll hovering beside her in a tight magical grip. “No! We are… a princess. We do not fear.”
Big Mac did not reply at first. He just stared at Miss Smarty Pants for the longest time before walking up to Luna’s side and looking out his window at the glittering farm, laid out in silver moonlit tracery in the beautiful night.
“Everypony is afraid of somethin’ they can’t do nuttin’ about. Ah was just a little one when Pa took me camping my first time. We was all the way out in the west pasture watching the stars when a big ol’ hydra sounded off a couple miles out in the Everfree Forest. Ah plum near tore that tent in half tryin’ to get out, but my Pa, he sat me down and told me somethin’ I’ve been tryin’ to live up to ever since. He said sometimes when you’re afraid, you can think your way out of it, and sometimes you just gotta hit it head-on with the biggest shovel you can find. The hard part is finding out just which kind are thinkin’ problems and which ones are hittin’ problems.”
Luna leaned towards Big Mac, almost at the end of his nose before whispering, “I’ve tried to think this one out, and it didn’t work. Now what?”
Big Mac shrugged and leaned closer. “Improvise.”
Her lips were as cold as ice. But they warmed throughout the night.
It may not have lasted forever.
But it felt that way.

... Filly Twilight, y u so cute?
Personally, I like running from my fears, and if they find me, then smash them with a shovel. But that's just me...
Keep count there are now three Alicorns infatuated with Big Mac. One more and I get free tea!
Shouldn't Spike be older?
It would be hilarious if by the end of this sequel the story was completely about Big Mac and his romantic misadventures for no explained reason.
And thus was triggered the third great alicorn war. A war not over something as trivial as night and day, but for the affections of the best stallion in Equestria.
Nope, forget about putting on my read laters... This is going straight to the Favorites... with the other 70+
Why do I think that Luna will be in trouble once Applejack hears about this?
3444316
At the end of S3, Spike was still a baby dragon, so I don't know why that would be different here. Besides, he's asleep at the moment. If Spike was awake, she could've asked, but he wasn't, so Spike got tickled instead.
Big Mac man, dude getting some tail everywhere.
Two out of three Princesses recommend Big Macintosh.*
*: The third is quite happily married, thank you very much
3444368 70+? amateur. including this site I should have 800 stories, half of which are complete and half aren't. most of the stories are on this site though. I have over 60 pages of favs on this site. as they say on the infamous 4chan "don't talk to me you filthy casual".
sorry if this seems weird. its late, im fucking nackered and ive got a job interview tomorrow and a phone call about another tomorrow as well that im expecting
hmmm, sounds like Luna got farther than any of the others so far
so looking forward to the fight
Leave it to the antisocial workaholic to get all the best pontang...Horse pun
Did they cuddle? or did they make out?
If it was #2 then Celestia and Trixie at least will be Pissed
Good
3444303 Quickly, make some random pony an alicorn! umm... maybe, OH! HEY! YOU, Yes you! OVER HERE!
A purple earth pony with curly tresses trots over. "Yes?" She asks.
Using your fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/078/c/e/phenomenal_cosmic_power__by_troll_overlord-d5ym0vr.png You quickly turn her into an alicorn. "What!?" She cries, rather startled and very disturbed by the sudden species change.
Now! you cry out, GO UNTO BIG MAC AND LOVE HIM! Cheerilee(Cause' that's clearly who it was) Cries out in protest, "Who do you think you are!? you can't just do anything you want to whomever you want! It's immoral!"
Butbutbut free tea! you protest.
"free tea!?" She exclaims. "I don't even... you know what? whatever, I'm outta here. You need to chill out maaan! You may think you're all groovy with your far out fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/078/c/e/phenomenal_cosmic_power__by_troll_overlord-d5ym0vr.png . But you're not!" She yells, an angry crease was forming on her now pointy forehead. "I'm not part of your system maaan! I'm outta here! PEACE!" And with that, she angrily stomped away from one very confused commenter, who had no idea how his comment got away from him.
That wasn't supposed to happen... the commenter whined. The commenter hung his head and threw his hands into the air. That's IT! the thing's typing on it's own and recording my actions! I'm out of here! And with that- he clicked the add comment butto
At this point, I really don't care about Twilight all that much. I am really more focused on the Big Mac x Luna x Celestia love triangle. Shall they fight, or shall they share?
Also, poor Trixie. How can she compete with two alicorns?
Go Big Mac! getting all the ladies, you lucky bastard. Fav'd and watching to see where this goes from here. The first one was easy, just a different twist on a situation already made. Now tho? Will not be able to follow ANY of the other episodes, so everything in this one will be new and unique without a guideline. Lets see where it goes

3444787 uh....uh...I don't add al the ones im going to read later to the fav list, I put them on the read later list...unless you do that to. cus if you do....damn
3444787lh3.googleusercontent.com/eyxSOIU1KNht3E2D5wk7CreydvWZ0E0BLbZ2n-l2J2XTXnKoD9fjSCfDUg3QvrpPem3vjK0LrIuvJx2cvQz29WHaaisgFH-xrEhwSAfAs1LXMCVWNqZ_lcazVA
I'm pretty casual.
I'm still with my statement in the first chapter.
It is semi-canon, after all...
31.media.tumblr.com/bfff99bc1ef032f2e17cb67ee5c22734/tumblr_msbugbtegL1s8m7yro1_500.png
3444787 Lucky! I've been getting 1 chapter per day and have nothing to do with some of them. I've read through Austraeoh, Eljunbyro, Innavedr and the current bits of Odrsjot and there's nothing else long to read.
3444734 Can someone pass that picture off to someone on DA? As it is the picture is somewhat underwhelming, but I'd like to see what it could become...
3444734
That was glorious, yer sir/madam, have made my evening.
are the spelling errors in Twilight's letter on purpose? If not, then there is a doozy.
...to celibate our first night in ponyville mom says we can have a sleepover.
I hope to Luna you meant celebrate.
3444787
Well, that makes me feel more comfortable with my situation. (I started getting nervous when my Read Later list grew past 99 entries.)
i.imgur.com/kV6cQoo.png
(I use Read Later as a way to pre-filter since there's no way to set an "except things I've already faved/rated/etc." filter on the regular search and I control its growth by limiting my tendency to go looking for new fics when I already have tons on my list. The recent explosive growth from 167 to 224 came about when I ran out of changeling fics on my Read Later list and ended up adding more human and comedy while I was at it.)
As for the 108 unread chapters in favorites, that's a site glitch. I've manually counted and I've only got about half that many unread in the three fics I've temporarily lost interest in. (Chibi Changeling, Anthropology, and Progress)
3445363 You're welcome!
3444787 I have MANY more read laters and almost as many(400 less) favorites.
How do you post that picture?
3444787 Damn, just when you think you have a lot of favorites some one comes and blows it out of the water. Though I guess it is because I don't favorite every story. Still it is possible that you have read way more then me or anyone else here.
3445413 She doesn't get the dictionary until *next* chapter.
3444945 Any day now, UPS will deliver my comics, and my productivity will take a direct hit for a day or two.
3444406 Married, yes. But that doesn't mean she has to quit looking. And can you imagine Big Mac finding out that Cadence is linked to the Hivemind. "You mean they can all... watch?"
3444316 He's the same age as S3 Spike, which puts him 12/100ths the way to puberty. The Dragon Zit decades are the worst.
3444366 Followed by the Peace Summit (or the Piece Summit as it was called) where the countries of North Macintosh and South Macintosh were divided out, with a few neutral zones and mutually shared territories. And then there was child support...
3443321 But, darling! Think of the color combinations you can use. The interplay of brilliant sunset chroma mixed with the sparkles in her mane. (that is when she's feeling happy, which a full wardrobe will of course help) There are colors you can use on the youth that would never be acceptable on more mature ponies, and then think of what she will look like when flying. Why, with Rainbow Dash in the area, they will be just dazzling, like a team skyshaping event.
That letter, so adorably misspelled...
Cute Twilight being cute.
Big Mac getting another Princess, he'll run out of Princesses by next chapter
3445702 I screenshotted it, cut out the useless stuff, and uploaded it to Tinypic, an awesome site for uploading useless random pics
3445919 I have read every story in my favorites. I put stories I haven't read yet in Read later, then when I hit the end, if I like it or want to be updated when new chapters come out, mostly the latter, it goes into favorites. Really there needs to be 3 options. Read later, updates, and favorites
but yeah, I sadly don't have time to go through EVERY single update for every story that updates,
Especially every time I find new stories to read and wait for updates for 
and even more sadly, I will get to it eventually, because 60% of authors are very slow, updating once every few months, or after a few months die and the story goes into limbo 
An example is a story about Nightmare being in Twilight's head that updated about 4 days ago... and a year and a half before that... 
3446766
Would you care to link that story, it sounds interesting.
3446766 Oh I know, it sucks when you never get to see the end of a story or have wait months to see more. Among the Ruins is a good example of this. It is why I try to update my story every two weeks so that people know when it is coming out. Bats used to have a schedule as well but he stopped for some reason. Really wish more Authors would do this though.
Daaaaaaaaaaw!
3447525 Indeed, it's why some authors I have seen write many of the chapters before posting the story up, and release those chapters slowly over time as a 'filler' while they work on the newest chapter, so there is always something posted and don't have to wait months for one chapter. I totally hate that they do that, because I want to read it all at once! But I understand why they do
Curse time for not having a fast forward option!
3447176 Sure! http://www.fimfiction.net/story/10149/entwined It isn't too far in, and has updated for the first time in a year resently, but that probably means the author is getting back into it and hopefully more updates soon.
Aaaah Big Mac, he'll have to beat mares away with a stick at this rate.
3446766
Only got 350 stories in my favorites.What they really need to do is allow you to make folders for your favorites.It would make sorting through them so much easier than having to flip through all 35 pages manually. I almost want to say that there should be at third category so you can follow stories but save favorites for, you know, your favroites.
Big Macintosh, you have unlocked achievement: Night and Day- Score with both Royal Sisters
New achievements available:
Do You Like Bananas? - Have Celestia find out about your night with Luna
Welcome To My Nightmare- Have Luna find out you kissed Celestia first
Juggling Hand Grenades- Survive the next week without being sent to the Moon.
3495352
That Welcome to My Nightmare achievement was already gotten since Luna already knew Celestia kissed him.
3510097
I took it to suggest that Big Mac kissed Celestia "first" as he was resuscitated. Meaning, his idea.
Ah, another fine day in Equestria. Children play, flowers bloom, birds sing, the Sun and Moon rise and set, and Big Mac gets some.
Everyone leave the poor guy alone. If I recall he had something of an unexpected adventure with "Monster" before. Is he just awfully open or terrified of refusing?
P.S.
Also, poor Shining Armor and family. I mean all that and she hardly remembers that she's technically related and doesn't even remember her *real* mother. Of course it's doubly so because she might not be biologically related anymore either.
Yes.
Despite the horny princesses, I think this story is sweet. Poor Mac seems to be the ultimate unwilling heart throb.
Mac you big lug, I always knew there was more to you than apples and farm work.
3451819 That's Granny Smith's job.
....
DAMN IT BIG MAC!
YOU ARE LIVING EVERY SINGLE BLOODY STALLION/MAN'S/MARE(There are some mares out there) DREAMS!
