Eclipse

by Hiver

Chapter 36

The doors to the outside were open to the night. A slight wind from the outside brought the scent of flowers into the room.

The moon shone outside among the sparkling stars.

Luna smiled, glancing over at me before looking smug and going back to reading the paper before her in the light of her lamp.

I grumbled slightly and shifted slightly to get more comfortable, Celestia's wing tightening across my back, “Ignore her,” she said softly against my ear, “They will all be smug for a while.”

“I’m just glad it will be a while before I run into Cadance next,” I admitted quietly, ”Hopefully she'll have most of it out of her system by then.”

Celestia looked amused, “Lucky me, she’s coming to Canterlot next month.”

I grinned up at her, “Oh look, I’m leaving in a few days. Suddenly it’s not looking too bad.”

“Bat!” Celestia laughed and bumped her nose against mine, “Luna, your husband is being mean!”

“Don’t pull me into this,” Luna answered with a grin, “Now he’s your problem too, sister.”

I looked between them before sticking my tongue out at them in turn. Then I settled back down, rolling onto my back with a small sigh, “...Leaving in another couple of day,” I said as I got myself comfortable.

“Are you certain you can’t stay longer?” Celestia asked softly, looking down into my eyes.

“...I have been away long enough as is,” I admitted with a sigh, “But I wish I could.”

Celestia nodded, “We do still have Sanctuary,” she admitted, “We can move our lessons there. Twilight and Sunset can join us too when they wish.”

“That sounds nice,” I admitted, running my hoof along her wing, “But I’m not sure they can handle our lessons.”

“Oh?”

I smiled at her, “Mmm. You know, in case we get ideas for some practical demonstrations. There are some subjects we haven’t covered fully yet.”

“Is that so?” Sunshine asked with a small smile, “Is there any in particular you have in mind? I’m sure we can work them in.”

“Maybe I can,” I said, looking up into her eyes with a small grin, “If you think you can handle them.”

Celestia raised her wings in display, spreading her feathers, “I believe I may be able to do so. I may have some ideas for lessons already.”

“Really?” I teased, “that was fast. Or had you thought about them before?”

“Some… but the lessons may be pretty hard. Do you think you can deal with it?”

“As long as you can. Will there be an exam?” I asked with a smile up at her, “Is there a reward if I pass?”

Celestia smiled, her nose touching mine as she looked into my eyes, “I think we can work something out.”

“Oh for buck sake!” Luna groaned, “And I thought you two were bad before!”

I grinned as Celestia laughed and pulled back to smile at her,

“Luna, put those papers away and join us. Those can wait until tomorrow night,” she said with a smile.

Luna put the paper down and slipped off her chair, “I wanted to give you two some room.”

“Buck that, I want my Luna,” I said with a smile before I frowned and rolled onto my stomach, looking around, “But I’m not sure we all fit on the cou-yelp!”

To my surprise, I found myself pulled up by my tail, hanging from Luna's magic as she trotted towards the bedroom, floating me behind her.

“I can walk you know,” I complained as I pulled my legs to myself and wrapped my wings around myself.

“But this seems so much faster,“ Celestia teased and walked along behind me.

“So it is,” Luna agreed with a smile before she looked at Celestia, “Are you sure, sister, that you do not want to have time alone with Page? Your relationship is new and they are leaving soon.”

Celestia smiled, “Is it really?”

“Oh no, spending the evening spending time with the most beautiful mares in Equestria, oh woe is me.”

“Well, in this way in any case,” Luna answered, ignoring me as she turned to Celestia, “Things are different now.”

Celestia shook her head, “Luna, we have had the same husband before.”

Luna smiled, “I’m well aware, sister. But it is different this time which is part of why you were being dumb. For one thing, we actually like this one and it’s not simply politics.”

“I don’t know,” Celestia admitted, “I seem to remember him growing on both of us in the end.”

“...Admittedly, he did turn into a nice pony,” Luna admitted, “But I never loved him. Not like this.”

“Neither did I,” Celestia said softly and then gave Luna a hug, “Which is why I worried.”

“Was dumb, you mean,” Luna teased her.

“...Excuse me,” I said, “Please don’t drop me.”

“Don’t worry, I have you exactly where I want you,” Luna said with a grin over Celestia's shoulder.

“Oh, I think I can come up with some better places,” Celestia said and let go of the hug to smirk at me.

“Now when you mention it, so can I,” Luna agreed with a soft laugh.

Oh dear.

Celestia suddenly grinned and leaned in, “Do you remember-” she said, starting to whisper into Luna's ear.

Luna blinked and looked thoughtful before she nodded, “I believe I do,” she finally said before she looked at Celestia with a smile, “Oh, that’s a good idea, sister.”

Suddenly I felt very worried.

Luna set me back down on the floor, “Stay,” she said and entered the bedroom. Celestia smirked at me before following.

I rolled onto my hooves at the door closed.

Uhm.

Very worried indeed.

I waited, spending the time running my magic through my mane and brushing my coat down. The door opened once more and I swallowed, gasping at the sight.

Luna exited the bedroom, but she looked…

.,..She looked like she was made from the night sky, filled with stars. It wasn’t just on the surface, it was like a part of the galaxy, depth and all. Stars shimmered through her. Luna looked like a part of the night sky having come alive.

Celestia followed her out and I had to avert my eyes. She shone like before, wings glowing and white coat shining. She lit up the previously dim room like a sunrise, her light shimmering through the dark of Luna’s night sky, her light making Lunas nebula shine..

I think I have goosebumps.

“I do believe he likes it,” Celestia teased as she walked up next to me, and I felt her magic settle my day goggles across my eyes and tighten around the back of my head.

“So he does,” Luna agreed and approached, nosing at my ear, “This was an excellent idea, sister.”

“Buck likes it,” I breathed, looking between them in awe, “I feel like starting a religion.”

Luna laughed softly and gave me a soft kiss, “Which is one of the reasons why we stopped doing this. But I think that perhaps we can at times show them to you.”

“Perhaps you more than me,” Celestia pointed out, her glowing wing settling across my back like a sunbeam, “Mine can actually hurt him.”

“I can echolocate, I don’t need eyes,” I pointed out most reasonably. At least I felt it was.

Even with the day goggles on I couldn’t look directly at Celestia's wings for very long and I had to look away, her eyes and horns blazing among her shining mane. Which caused me to gaze up at Luna. Which wasn’t exactly a downgrade. The sunlight was glowing through her now no longer flowing mane, making it glow and shimmer like a nebula.

Luna laughed and gave me a small kiss, “My silly Page.”

I moved against her in turn. It was like kissing the universe and it made my wings tingle. Celestia moved to brush a glowing wing along my back and lowered her muzzle to my ear, giving the tip a lick which sent a shiver along my spine all the way to the tip of my tail.

None of us got any real rest that night.

go you glorious bastard you. do whats right.

[Black--Soul]

Blank Page get to write his name into the Nightsky and the Sun ponified, lucky stud 👍

Cadance will be sooo smug 👍

Shining Armor already knows who will keep Cadance company when old age takes him.

Now that Celestia write her name on Pages book of mares, what comes next?
- Grogar is coming for some spanking?

- Yeti king replacement is coming for a rematch?

- Changeling Hive United versus the Canterlot and Crystal Empire Hive?
Chrysalis is to blaim for exposing them...
What about the diplomatic mission to the other Hives?!

- Did we meet the Kirin yet?

Guess Cozy Glow will not happen with Tirek dead.
Hm...
Perhaps the return of the Umbrum? The Jail of Tarterus could not hold Tirek! Why would the Crystal Empire hold the Umbrum forever?!

- Naysay rebellion of the noble class? He never liked Blank Page and the Unicorns deserve the right to the knowledge of Alicornhood in their opinion, if a unworthy non pony in pony body is deserving!
Only for Starlight Glimmer to give them equality they seek.

Remember 'Our Town'?
2.0 just them having to enjoy a equal lifestyle in Canterlot, while Starlight Glimmer is eating cake with Celestia and making bets when they have enough of equality.

Or perhaps...
-Nocturnis get invaded by Chrysalis!
Time to snu-snuuu ♡

Yeah we will

“I’m just glad it will be a while before I run into Cadance next,” I admitted quietly, ”Hopefully she'll have most of it out of her system by then.”

Unlikely

Celestia looked amused, “Lucky me, she’s coming to Canterlot next month.”

That's gonna be fun, shame we'll likely miss it

“Oh for buck sake!” Luna groaned, “And I thought you two were bad before!”

They have no reason to restrain themselves now

Minotaur Ambassador:
"Why is the Sun and Moon rising and lowering in half hour intervals?"

Griffon Ambassador:
"What is the meaning of the 5 minute Eclipse every hour?"

Queen Chrysalis:
"Blank Page..."

Abesinian Ambassador:
"The new Alicorn Prince is responsible for this?!"

Somepony named Naysay:
"Obviously he is doing unspeakable things to our pure Alicorn rulers!"

Queen Chrysalis:
"Unspeakable? What is unusual in Blank Page attempting to create a heir for the Sun & Moon princesses?"

Somepony sputtering non verbal to understand vocal diarrhea named Naysay:
"This backstabbing little..."

Queen Chrysalis:
"Backstabbing of the finest kind, repeatedly and most insistently. Carnal perfection ~♡"

Hypogriffon Ambassador:
"Huh... Neat... ... ... sooo will the Guardtower containing Celestias descendants gain new blood?"

Wanne be noble Naysay:
"The What in where... since when?!"

Princess Skitter:
"Dawww... I can feel their love from here, i wonder if Cadance knows..."

*Somewhere in the Crystal Empire castle*
Cadance:
"F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!"

"Hey tia, that weird school chancellor showed up and I found out he was evil, so at the end of a diabolical plot he got eaten quite dramatically by a well timed dinosaur."

"Mmmkay"

[Theresa]

Actually I agree. He is long overdue to try have kids. I don't think he even got a honeymoon. He has 5 wives now and I want to see the nobles freak out because page made the princesses moms and if we're lucky alicorns.

[windy_prance]

MEANWHILE AT THE HIVE...

Skitter: ...Ok new rule! The jelly made from the love between alicorn herds has to be stored separately and NOT mixed in with our main supply.

Chrysalis: Agreed. While I knew the predator's love is very strong for individual drones, I thought it would be diluted once added in to the rest of the harvest. We...were mistaken.

*Drones everywhere collapse in drunk stupor*

Thorax: All hai--*hiccup* the tiiime of plenty! *burp*

Pharnyx: Glory to the HIVE! *snort snort snort*

Drones: *cheers and groans all around*

[midnight arrow]

Great chapter

[Raw Gem]

Next month? Cadence is probably on her way the moment they are talking about it XD

[FoxyLove]

And In This glorious chapter Blank Page finally has Snu-Snu with not only his Sky, but with his Sunshine...

AND. IT. WAS. GOOD!!!!!!!

Unfortunately for Celestia that she'll have to get the I Told You Soes from Cadence in a month... Unless she and Shiny show up in the next chapter.

[Ghost Alvasa]

Okay here's the question on everyone's mind now, will there be foals in the coming installments of this story?

[RegularBrony]

[Xamp]

Somewhere in the Crystal Empire, the Princess of Food,,,,er,,,,Love... sleeps.

Suddenly glowing eyes snap open and Cadences voice rings out, "level 4 love detonation incomming! Get everyone
To the shelters! Everypony!

Excessive booping caused it? Sound more like a horn broke off or rather was fractured, the build up magic probably got released explosively and Tempest Shadow was born...

[shadow wolf1573]

Nice

[Black--Soul]

Chrysalis, Skitter and Naysay are suspiciously absent from anything happening...
Hiver forget they existed in his story didn't he...
Like for example the author forget some character existed like 'Lunch' the identity changing gunslinger.
When remembering come from a fan he was like:
"...ooo i totally forget about her and the romance she had with the side character."

Poor Skitter, Chrysalis and Naysay... to unimportant to remember...
