Confession

Today would be the day. The last day of Twilight’s forgiveness class. She wondered how that last class was going to work. How would it be? Twilight was now eating pancakes at the table, along with Luna and Celestia. Luna was sitting in the middle, to her left was Twilight and to her right was Celestia. The three of them ate their pancakes with smiles on their faces.

When Luna finished eating her pancake, she looked at Twilight Sparkle, who had also finished eating. “Twilight Sparkle.”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna. “Yes, Princess?”

“Are you ready for your last class?” asked Luna.

“Yes, Princess. How will it work? ” asked Twilight Sparkle as she was curious.

“I’ll explain to you in my room, come.” Luna said as she got up from the chair. Twilight followed. Celestia just watched the two of them leave with a smile. She wondered how Twilight was going to do in that last class.

Twilight and Luna were now walking down the hall. As they walked, Twilight wondered what that last class would be like. Even though Luna had told her that she would explain to her when she got to the room, she couldn’t get that thought out of her head. Twilight, then, she heard the sound of a door opening, she looked ahead and saw that Luna was opening the door with magic her. Upon opening, Twilight entered first and then Luna, who closed the door with her magic upon entering.

Twilight Sparkle turned and saw Luna approach the bed and sit on their hips. She approached Luna and sat on her hips too. “Luna, how will this last class work?”

“Well, Twilight. This class is a daily activity that you will have to do on a daily basis if you don’t want to return to feeling guilty for what you did as Nightmare Sparkle,” replied Luna as she smiled.

“But what am I going to do?” asked Twilight Sparkle as she was confused.

“You’re the one who will choose.”

Twilight Sparkle was surprised and gaping. “What?”

“You’re the one who will choose the activity, Twilight,” repeated Luna. “Choose an activity or hobby that you enjoy and do it daily so that you avoid feeling doubt and guilt, so that you become somepony better. And act in a positive way that will allow you to forgive yourself.”

“But princess, I already forgave myself,” said Twilight Sparkle, now confused.

“I know that, Twilight,” she stroked the Twilight mane with a hoof as she smiled. “But this is to keep you from feeling guilty about something you might do in the future.”

Twilight Sparkle smiled and hugged Luna with her hooves. “Thank you, Luna. Thank you for helping me to forgive myself.”

Luna was surprised to have been hugged, but soon smiled and returned the hug with her hooves. “You’re welcome, Twilight. I am happy with that.”

Luna said, “Twilight, do you already know what you’re going to do to avoid feeling doubt or guilt so you can become a better pony?”

“Yes Princess. I will read books daily,” replied Twilight Sparkle as she stepped out of the embrace. “I mean, I already read it daily. Does that count?”

“Of course, Twilight,” replied Luna as she smiled and hugged Twilight Sparkle while her eyes were closed.

Twilight Sparkle smiled with that affection. She liked that Luna cared about her. She couldn’t help but notice that Luna was helping her a lot after the Nightmare Sparkle incident. When she was crying during those days that she hadn’t forgiven herself, Luna was always beside her, comforting her, hugging her and comforting her when she cried. Luna was a great friend to her after the wedding of Shining Armor and Cadence. She had an idea of ​​what she and Luna could do.

“Princess Luna, since my classes are over, how about we go for a walk in Canterlot?” asked Twilight Sparkle with a smile.

Luna opened her eyes while still smiling. “I liked that idea, Twilight.”

Luna released Twilight from the embrace and got up from the bed. Twilight got up from the bed too.

As they walked, Twilight looked at Luna with a smile and her ears were down. She couldn’t help but notice that Luna was quite beautiful. To tell it the truth, since she saw Luna at Nightmare Night and helped her, she realized that Luna was quite beautiful. Twilight realized something that she hadn’t noticed since her first Nightmare Night: She liked Luna, not as a friendship, but romantically.

She would like to declare herself to Luna, but how would she declare herself? Perhaps, she could declare herself now. But she was nervous that Luna wouldn’t accept what she felt. How could she declare herself? Should she declare herself now or should she invite Luna on a date? Like seeing the stars with her on the balcony of Luna’s room? Perhaps inviting Luna to this isn’t a bad idea. That was what she was going to do. She just hoped that Luna would accept the invitation and agree to be her marefriend.

“Princess Luna,” Twilight Sparkle started as she walked.

Luna looked at Twilight Sparkle. “Yes, Twilight?”

“Would you like to watch the stars with me in your room?” asked Twilight Sparkle nervously.

“Of course, Twilight. I’m free at night,” replied Luna. “I can’t wait to spend the night with you.”

Twilight Sparkle blew out a small sigh of relief. “Me too, Luna. Me too.”


When the night came, after Twilight had finished dinner, she would go around in circles while waiting for the arrival. She already had in mind how she was going to declare herself: She just hoped that everything would turn out perfect.

The bedroom door opened, revealing Luna, who was smiling at her and approaching her as she closed the door with her magic. “I have to confess, Twilight. No pony has ever invited me to see the stars. I usually invited Celestia to see the stars with me.”

Twilight Sparkle smiled hopefully. “And did she go with you?”

Luna’s smile fell, and her ears went down as she looked away. “No. Celestia always told me that she had to sleep early to get the sun up. I was usually alone all night. No one stayed up during my night,” she started to cry.

“Princess, I’m sorry for making you remember that,” said Twilight Sparkle, now sorry and with her ears down.

“Don’t blame yourself, Twilight,” Luna looked back at Twilight as she smiled. “Now, let’s watch the stars,” they approached the balcony and sat down. Luna sat on the left and Twilight on the right. Luna hugged Twilight with a wing while smiling and watching the stars. Twilight blushed when Luna’s wing touched her. Luna’s wing was very soft.

Twilight knew that now would be the time. The time when she would confess to Luna what she felt. But she was very nervous. Nervous that Luna wouldn’t accept it and that she wouldn’t feel the same way she did. Should she really count today? Perhaps she could leave it for another day or night. No. She couldn’t procrastinate. She was going to confess today. She just hoped that Luna would feel the same as she did. She looked at Luna.

“Princess,” she began.

Luna looked at Twilight Sparkle with a smile. “Yes, Twilight?”

“I-i have something to confess to you.”

Luna was curious. What would it be? “You can talk. I’m listening.”

Twilight Sparkle started to sweat with nerves. “Princess, do you remember our first Nightmare Night together?”

“Yes, Twilight. It was on that night that we met,” replied Luna, now smiling just to remember.

“So, from that night I realized something that I never noticed before but only now,” continued Twilight Sparkle.

“Really? What did you notice?”

Twilight Sparkle smiled as she blushed and looked away. Now would be the time. “I realized that from that night that I helped you... I realized that you were very pretty.”

Luna blushed at the compliment as she smiled. “Thank you, Twilight. No one ever us… I mean, praised me before.”

“You’re welcome Princess. But going on, I also realized that... I love you. Not as a friend, but as a marefriend,” Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna while blushing even more. “Princess Luna, would you like to be my marefriend?”

Luna was surprised by this revelation. She didn’t expect this. But then she smiled, and said, “Yes, Twilight. I accept.”

Twilight Sparkle smiled at the answer. “Really? You accept? Do you feel the same as I do?”

“Of course I do, Twilight. And yes, I feel the same way you do. Since you helped me with Nightmare Night, I started to develop feelings for you. I just didn’t confess to you before, because I was afraid that you wouldn’t feel the same as me,” replied Luna. “But I’m glad it didn’t happen and you feel the same as me.”

Twilight and Luna hugged each other while smiling. They were very happy that they were together now. Luna then remembered something. “Twilight.”

Still embracing, Twilight asked, “yes, princess?”

“Well, Twilight. Since we’re going to date, I would like you to just call me Luna. You doesn’t have to be formal with me.” asked Luna gently.

“Ok, Luna,” said Twilight Sparkle.
