> Shattered Glass- Broken Heart's.. > by The-Survivor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One - Sleepless Night's No Longer (Princess Luna) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You grunt and moan as you toss and turn restlessly in your bed. For the last couple of night's you've been having little odd dream's here and there, You could never put your finger on it. It was always strange at a young age you could read ponies like a book just one simple stare. And you could see what they felt, you were raised in the royal family alongside your best friend Luna. Or in this case Princess Luna, my apologies the princess was always a bit..eh stingy about formalities. Any who you've grown alongside her because you were always the distant kind of child who couldn't. Really handle the burden of a large amount of friend's. But needless to say her company quenched your thirst for companionship, so you two were the closest friend's everyone. Wanted to be with their own friend, you two were so close at one point colt's and filly's called you two "Love Bug's" Ok back to this little tale, after you toss around in your silky cover's. Your eye's open to little slit's squinting as you look out your big window. To the big radiant moon looking back at you. Basking you in it's comfortable white ray's of light. Your hand comes to your mouth as you stifle a little yawn. And swing your leg's with little effort over the side of your bed. you stretch you arm's and twist left and right to relieve yourself of those agonizing sore's. After you well earned stretch you push, yourself off the bed and onto the cold. Wooden floor fortunately, for you snuggling into your big bed and warm cover's. Your warm feet prevent the cold floor from affecting your temperature. Your room is like most basic bedroom's here in the Canterlot castle. A master bedroom along with a humongous king sized bed, Fitted with scarlet red cover's and blue pillow cases. A oval shaped ceramic sink adorned with silver plating on the faucet's. Along with a mirror decorated with golden spiral's on the side's and a gold eagle perched. At the top of it looking down to you with pride, Anyways your eye's do a once over of yourself. Making sure your clean and upon further inspection, you find yourself to be rather presentable. Even though every pony in the castle such as staff and the two princess's are in their chamber's. And your most likely the only one up so no one will give a hoot at how you look. You stroll slowly over to your mirror, your oversized sweat pant's gently grazing the floor as you get closer to your mirror. When you get to your mirror your hands grip the sides of the sink, and your eye's pierce through the reflection staring back into your eye's. Your lip's curve into a small smile at the relief of looking ok. You back, away from your mirror and reach out for a cup to get a quick drink of water from your sink. But to your disappointment..there is no cup hmm eh no biggy probably the maid took it out while doing the weekly cleaning. You shrug and decide to go to the royal kitchen's to find a cup to drink out of. You open, your door with ease as it silently open's out into the dark hallway. You poke your head out and look left and right. And to your luck no guards..no servants perfect!. You raise, your fist into the air as you silently fist pump as your satisfaction of having no one around comes into play. You were always so childish like this, at one point when you were kid's. Celestia made a funny quip about you growing up to becoming "A great father" your cheek's flared, up at the comment. And you would bashfully smile and laugh as you chase her through the throne room, while she ran away laughing along with you. Ahh..good memories but pushing those aside for now. You stand on your tippie-toes and silently, tip toe down the hallway. Your eye's slowly adjust to the poor light quality as you strode swiftly down the hallway with the agility of a trained assassin. As you sneak down the hallway, pictures of you and the two princesses slowly scrolled by and as you passed more picture's of you and the princesses. A smile start's to plaster your lip's as fond memories of your two best friend's come to your brain. Your body start's to feel warmer as the feeling of..caring, and kindness courses through every part of you. As you get closer and closer to the royal kitchen's you pass by the princesses chamber's your smile seems to widen. As you pass by princess Celestia's chamber you look at the decorated stainless glass that show the element's of harmony standing side by side with Celestia's sun crest in the middle. Your foot pacing slows down as you look at princess Luna's, the stainless glass adorning her room is a dark forest with the moon at the middle. With the silhouette of her standing proud at the center of the crest, she always had the most intriguing sense of décor huh?. You stop dead center in front of her chamber door. Something is off about Luna's chambers Celestia's chambers are dark meaning that she is asleep..but Luna's had a faint blue glow in it. "Hmm that's strange." You say quietly, as you study her door. Oh by jones It's unlocked! She always locks her door when she enters her chamber's. Everyday as she wishes to be alone and not disturbed even by you. Something's up and you plan to get to the bottom, of this you step up to the door and with the flick of your wrist you turn the handle. And push the door open with a silent push and you poke your head, inside. Ok this strange indeed..you swore you saw a glow coming from in here but it seems to have vanished. Well the room is normal her bed is tucked in her chair is still facing the fireplace. But..her balcony door, is open you walk towards the balcony door as your toes do their thing. Making sure your footsteps aren't heard you get to the door and shiver under your breath as the cool night air caresses your skin. You look out to the balcony and see the one and only princess Luna..wow she look's amazing. The moon is at a perfect angle to outline her entire figure and to add to the scene her beautiful navy blue hair sway's. Gracefully in the night's air but there is one thing that upset's you about this scene. Her muzzle is tucked into her hooves and her eyes are closed shut with little glowing tear's in the night. "Dear Celestia.." you mutter under your breath, as worry soon takes action and makes you take a step forth. Step after step was like trying to escape death itself. Your body lock's, up after a couple feet but your still a short distance from her. You look around for anything to gain her attention. But sadly nothing is of use so you decide to use your own voice. "U-um..Luna?" You manage to speak with a tiny squeak at the end signifying your nervousness. Upon your rather silly attempt at grabbing her attention, Luna manages to completely jump out of her skin and land on her flank on the ground with a audible slam. "W-who goes there! I swear dear sister of mine if you are trying to scare me again I will personally rip your win-.." Luna look's up to you as her sentence comes to a abrupt end. As you two stare at each other in complete awkward silence you manage to wave a small gesture at her with a somewhat shy smile on your face. "Hey Luna uh..so..how's it going?" You reply with a nervous, scratch at the back of your head. Luna look's to the ground with a sad yet embarrassed look displayed across her face. "Oh I could be better." She turn's her gaze from you to the night sky as the star's slowly dance in the sky. "It's just I've been troubled lately." You tilt your head to the side a little in confusion. "Troubled? why are you troubled?" you ask as you walk over to her side and look up to the star's. "My sister Celestia has been urging me to make a urge towards choosing a..suitor for marriage." Luna say's as she sigh's sadly and paws at the floor with her hoof You look down to her with a face of surprise, and shock. "Marriage? oh..well have you found anypony that would be a perfect match for you?" Luna, shakes her head as her ear's droop down. "No I haven't I tried my best to find one I tried all suitor's from the griffon kingdom to even the crystal empire. but none I was really interested in." You get down on one knee to look into her eyes at pony-level. "Hey..Don't be like that I know what it's like trying to find someone you love and it's really tough but sometime you just gotta slow down and look for what's really important in your life." you smile reassuringly, as you place a hand on her cheek. Luna seems to relax significantly as she gently lean's into your touch with a content smile on her face. "Why can't there be more ponies in this world like you Anon." She looks up to your eye's with a loving smile and a soft gaze in her wonderful eye's. Your smile seems to widen ten fold, as you press your nose against her snout gently. "Why can't there be more extravagant mares like you in this world Luna?." That comment makes Luna's cheek's turn a light red as she gives your nose several butterfly kisses with her own. "You know I think I might have found my suitor.." Luna purrs as her hoof circles your chest slowly. Your own cheek's begin to blush as the sensation of her hoof softly rubbing your chest. "Oh and who is this lucky person that get's to be your suitor?." Your eyes, shift left and right showing that your looking around for anyone else but you know the obvious answer to this life changing event. "Haha it's you..I want you as my suitor Anon." Luna smile's as she closes the remaining distance between your lip's. You gasp lightly as your brain jumbles the sensation of Luna's soft lip's, on yours. And the predicament your in you shiver a little as her hooves wrap around your neck, and pull you in deeper into the kiss. After your heavenly kiss you pull away and pick her up in your arms and hold her tight as you look into her beautiful eye's. "Princess Luna I would be honored to take the place as your future husband." Upon saying this Luna giggles and gestures towards her royal chamber's. You nod and swiftly carry her inside and plop her down on her bed gently and scoot in next to her. She move's in closer to you and you accept her request by wrapping your arms around her and holding her close to your chest. For what seems like hour's you two just enjoy being in each other's arms. And never avert your gaze for another but sadly after that lovely moment Luna's eye's droop close as she nuzzles her snout into the crook of your neck and falls asleep. You smile and close your eye's and soon fall asleep afterwards. No doubt your future will hold nothing but love and serenity and that's all someone can hope for in life. And there is one benefit that will come from this day forth. You will no longer have Sleepless Night's! > Chapter Two - Her Knight In Shining Armor (Twilight Sparkle) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Damn, how do these ponies wear this crap!" You complain, as you lift your hand up to your shoulder plate. Trying to shift the giant piece of steel into a more comforting position..you are Anonymous the one and only human in a land of ponies. At the beginning of your new life here in these lands you suffer from severe depression. You missed your loved ones back on your own planet and the thought of never seeing them. Had you spiral into a sense of loneliness, but fortune seemed to smile on you the day you met. The leader of the elements of harmony, Twilight sparkle..she turned your life 180 degrees And to this day you still remember those amazing words that she spoke to cheer you up. "Even though you may be stuck here you shouldn't dwell on the past..think. Of the present, and focus on your future..you may think your all alone here in but you arn't you got good ponies here who look out for each other." She spoke, those sweet words as she got up on her hind legs ad gave you one big hug. And you couldn't help but shed a tear as you returned her hug tenfold and now to this day Twilight is your best friend. So after that day you helped around ponyville doing odd jobs. For no gain just to help the commonwealth, and after much encouragement by Twilight and her little assitant . You joined the imperial guard, the first couple weeks was rather..odd becuase while most trainees. Struggled to keep up the daily drills you excelled at them due to your size and shape. And all your work paid off as the captain of the guard promoted you to Guardian of Ponyville. So you "Sir Anonymous" are indebted, the repsosibiltity of protecting your home..your new family. You took the title and wore it proudly as you swore from that day forth that you would. Protect your village till your last breath the day you cam back to the ponyville with your title to walk. Across the bridge connecting the town to the other side to see everypony stopping what they were doing and started to chant and whistle as you blushed and smiled slightly embarassed. Of all this public affection but nonethless like in the olden tales of knights you strode through the crowd. a silly dork yes..but as a proud/happy dork. Thus began your life as the "" and your life really improved since day one here. You have a family of two you have friends who love and respect you and well you really have gone from a loner to. One of the most important people in the land you could just go home and call it a good day everyday because this life was..so much better. So today you stride down the road of the busy merchant district. Every clink of your armored boots hitting the cooblestone road sends a smile to ponies as they trot by. They smile and look your way becuase they know they are protected, even you know smile as you tilt up the your helmet to see the beautiful rays of your majesties sun. You turn the corner as your patrol is about to come to an end for the day so you can return home to your best friend Twilight. Your mind begins to wander around as you ponder all the greatest memories you have had with her. To the day where you were having a picnic in the park where a butterfly landed onto her muzzle and her cute blush as she stared cross eyed at it in awe. To the time where she didn't have anone to go with to the ponyville carnival and you offered to go with her as a "" she laughed. At your phrase and lightly booped you on the nose with her hoof..that was some of many great memories of her. Then your memorie seems to rearrange as it focuses on the unicorn herself. To the thought of her short beautiful mane your cheeks lightly blush. To the thought of her beautiful purple eyes your knees begin to buckle, and to the thought of her in general..makes you feel like your on air and that. You could take on anything who dares harm her, and your town. You finally reach the end of your street to have the cobblestone road run out to a small dirt road leading up to your door. You reach the end of the soft dirt road and sigh contently as you finally get to rest. With a flick of your wrist, you lightly push open the door and walk inside and as you walk inside you start stripping off your chest plate and greaves. "Twilight! ! I'm home did you miss me? haha." You say with a light chuckle, as you place your armor on the table nearby the doorway. Oddly enough you hear nothing but the silence that filled the atmosphere as you walked in the room. "Uh..ok, this is not some joke that conjured up again right?" You look in the kitchen and down the hall as you spontaneously look through every nook and cranny of the house until you hear a faint sob coming from up stairs. You stair up the mahogany stairwell, as you take the first step. Of many as you ascend you hear the sobbing getting more and more audiable and your pace quickens as you sprint up the stairs and throught the hallway and to the end of the hallway where Twilights room is. As you reach the end you fear the worst as you slow down and softly open the door. What you come across is the sight of Twilight,laying on her belly under a mass amounts of sheets. Sprawled across the wooden floor with her muzzle deep in her pillow sobbing. As your eyes gazed upon this beautiful mare crying made your heart felt like. It has shattered into a million bits like a shattered mirror your heart. lays in shambles before you as you take the step forward across the bedroom floor. And due to the wooden floor your first step creates a groan within the floor boards. You freeze midstep as Twilights ear perks up. And with a little sniffle she lifts up her head and looks in your direction with her bloodshot eyes. The poor mare looked like a mess her mane was all messy half of it covered her right eye. Her, coat looked puffy and hey eyes had stress marks underneath them overall she looked terrible. And that certainly didn't help you feel any better. This awkward little stand off drones on for about another 10 seconds before you get the confidence to speak up. "Twilight..whats wrong?" You speak soothingly as you walk towards her prone position. She eyes your pacing with nervousness yet with a slight bit of..anticipation?. You get over to her and with careful movement you sit down next to her and smile comfortingly as you brush a lock of hair away from her eyes. Her frown seems to slightly change at the small sign of affection and her frown soon is replaced by a small smile. "Thank you for that..uh I was rejected by the stallion. Of my dreams today and well I know from your point of view that the rejection is not sitting well with me." As she explained her problem she lays her head. on your lap and nuzzles your knee trying to get comfortable. You scoff at the thought of being rejected you've been through. The same issue before and it was hard to get over that special someones rejection. So with your hand you place it on her messy mane in attempts of calming her down a bit. "Twilight it's that guys loss.." You speak softly as you straighten out her mane. "Whoever this fella is he obviously is blind because. He can't see a loyal,loving, and very careing beautiful mare.when there is one in plain view." You get a little bit more confident so you step it up a notch. You brush your hand up her mane then in one swift movement you take hold of ear and rub it gently. Causing the mare in your lap to sigh contently and lean into your touch a bit more. What you realized,next was that twilights. Tail was swishing back and forth happily as she enjoyed your affection. "Hehe oh Anon..you are so amazing, your the bestest friend I could ever ask for." She says as she leans up and. Nuzzles your cheek lovingly, you chuckle as you return the gesture and you actually pick up the rest of her body. And set her on your lap and soon after plopping her down in your lap. You wrap your arms around her and hold her aainst your chest in a warm embrace. And the most amazing part about this moment is that she returns your embrace my wrapping her hoofs around your neck. And pushing her muzzle against your chest and all you could was smile and look out the window to the fading sun. As the beautiful evening sky soon takes the suns place you look down and with enough courage you take your finger. And lift up Twilights chin, as you lift her chin up she slowly opens her eyes to look up to you with her big beautiful purple jewels. And one of her hooves slide up your neck to where it finds it's new. Place upon your cheek where it caresses it affectionately. Your smile grows wider and you lean forward and place your forehead against hers and time seems to slow down as Twilights. Messy mane falls over the both of you shrouding your field of vision to only this perfect mares eyes and smile. And to your own pleasure you must admit that your loving every second of this moment. Then finally..you did it you slowly tilt your head up making both of your lips connect together and while you. Blush immensely red from the soft feeling of your lips while the mare in question Just softly squeaks as your lips make contact. But soon after it all started her eyes slowly start to flutter close. And yours as well as you gently lay down on the ground with her laying on your chest. After a few more seconds of heavenly bliss you both pull away and just starw into each others eyes. You smile and lay your hand on your cheek. "Your a beautiful mare Twilight..I love you, I love you very much." She laughs a little as you say that but nonetheless she leans into your hand loving your affection. "I love you very much as well Anon, though. This is actually like a book I read a while back." She snickers as her hoof trails up and down your chest. "Where the silly little bookworm could never. Find the right pony or in this case human to love. Her so one day when she gave up hope her knight in shining armor..comes to her rescue." She says the last part with a little bit of seduction as she smiles playfully down to you. You roll your eyes and laugh as you decide to play along. "Well I do hope this damsel has found her one true love." You say as you give your new found lover a sly wink. "Oh haha yes this damsel has been rescued from her great big tower of loneliness. And she i-" She accidently cuts off her sentence with a soft cute little yawn. Soon after she kisses your lips one last time then uses her magic to levitate the sheets over to you both. And after settling down under the blankets she nuzzles her muzzle into the side. Of your neck and slowly falls asleep. Well..here you are now but what happens from here on?. Well like in every medieval story you just rescued your princess and you both fell in love and will you live happily ever after?. Yes..Yes you will becuase you are her knight in shining armor!
