> The View from the Closet > by Highlord Langslock > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The View from the Closet > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story. It does not take place in the same universe as my Harmony and Valor series, but there are parallels. Princess Twilight Sparkle wished that she had said no to Sunset Shimmer's rather disturbing request. Unfortunately, when her friend on Gaia had sent her a message asking for her help, she had immediately said yes before she actually learned what it was that Sunset needed help with. Then again, it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference anyways. Twilight could rarely, if ever, say no when someone asked her for help. So it was that she found herself in the human world late in the evening, with Sunset, both of them dressed in pitch black sweatpants and sweatshirts, plus matching ski masks that were turned up to expose their faces, plotting to break into a man's house. “We're going to get caught,” Twilight moaned. “We're not going to get caught,” Sunset Shimmer told her as she took of her backpack and set it on the doorstep. “I told you, I've done this before.” “With student lockers and classroom doors. This is a man's house! With a electronic security system! I'm telling you, we're going to get caught. I'm going to be the first princess to cause an international incident in another universe!” “That's why I brought this.” Sunset opened her backpack and pulled out what looked like some sort of tablet connected to a metal cylinder by a long wire. She pressed the cylinder against the door where it stuck, and began to fiddle with the tablet. “And even if we do get caught, which we won't, you won't be able to cause any incidents because nobody outside of school knows about Equestria. Well, besides some of our families. And everyone at Crystal Prep. But otherwise, this world knows nothing about Equestria or magic.” “They'll find out,” Twilight insisted. “Once they realize that I'm not the Twilight Sparkle of this world, a bunch of guys from a secret government organization will take me away for questioning, and after I crack and spill the beans, they'll panic and try to send a nuke through the portal, and then Princess Celestia will decide that humanity is too dangerous to be allowed to exist, so she'll teleport all of Equestria into this world and attack with a force field that disrupts technology and a potion that converts humans into ponies!” Sunset didn't even look up from her equipment. “While I could literally spend all night explaining all of the reasons why none of the things you've just described would ever happen, seeing as we're pressed for time, I'll limit myself to the most important one: if humanity did try to nuke Equestria, Princess Celestia wouldn't bother with a bunch of potions and stuff. She would simply have the Mage Corps cast a Singularity Spell to create a controlled black hole that would annihilate everything within one hundred square miles.” “That is so not better,” Twilight moaned. “Which is why we'll make sure it never happens by not getting caught,” Sunset assured her. Her tablet beeped. “I've taken care of the security system,” she said. Removing the cylinder from the door, she put he equipment away and pulled out some wire tools that she used to pick the lock on the door. “Where did you get that stuff anyways?” asked Twilight. “The less you know, the better,” said Sunset. The lock clicked and she opened the door. “Now let's see what kind of skeletons this guy's got stuffed in his closet.” “Remind me, why are we doing this again?” asked Twilight. “Because Principal Celestia has gone crazy, and she controls my permanent records,” answered Sunset. A couple of months ago, Vice-principal Luna had started dating a man named Night Watch after being set up with him by her best friend, Cadance. According to her, he was a detective for the Canterlot City Police Department, he had lived in Manehattan all his life before transferring to Canterlot City a year ago, and his hobbies included astronomy, hiking, reading, and watching horror movies. The effect he had on Luna was quite remarkable. While she had never been unfriendly by any means, she'd become much more open and sociable after she started dating him. She conversed casually with the faculty much more often, was friendlier with the students, showed more leniency for minor infractions, and was just plain happier and more relaxed than anyone had seen her be in a long time. Several students had even said that they didn't find her completely terrifying anymore. There was one person, however, who wasn't happy about Luna's new love life. While details about their past before they came to work at Canterlot High were sketchy at best, it was apparent that Principal Celestia had always had her little sister to herself for a long time, and she did not appreciate having to share her all of a sudden. While everyone else was happy to listen to Luna talk about her boyfriend, Celestia would shuffle to the side and sulk, and she would often complain about how Luna always came home late, and how she kept skipping out on their usual activities together, becoming more and more bitter about it over time. The final straw came when Luna announced that she was moving out of the house they shared together for years to move in with Night Watch. Upon hearing that, Celestia had called Sunset into her office for a private meeting, where she had not-so-subtly implied that if Sunset were to dust off her old “skills” and dig up some dirt on Night Watch that could prove that the guy wasn't right for her sister, it would make her a very happy principal — not that she wanted Luna to break up with him or anything, oh no, she had stated many, many, many times that that was most definitely, indisputably, absolutely-for-sure not what she actually wanted, but if that did happen, then too bad, so sad. And while she hadn't actually threatened Sunset in any way, the younger girl didn't want to take any chances considering the principal's current mental state. Entering the house, the two girls found themselves in a spacious sitting room. There was a couch set against the wall, a recliner, a coffee table, and a lamp. On the other side of the room there was a wide-screen TV set on top of a small bookshelf with several DVDs inside it, plus a larger bookshelf that contained a number of books. There was a doorway leading to a kitchen, plus two more along the wall, one without a door. Opening her backpack again, Sunset pulled out two small flashlights. She handed one to Twilight. “Keep it low, okay? We don't want to alert the neighbors.” “Right,” said Twilight, turning hers on. “So where do we start?” “You take a look around here while I check out the kitchen,” Sunset instructed. “What are you going to find in the kitchen?” “Probably nothing, but I'm hungry.” Rolling her eyes, Twilight began to examine everything in the sitting room. There was nothing remarkable on the coffee table, just some newspapers and magazines. Searching through the smaller bookcase also turned up nothing. The larger bookcase was much more interesting, but only because its shelves were filled with so many human books that Twilight hadn't read yet. As much as she would have loved to read them all right then and there, now wasn't the time for that. Twilight headed for the kitchen just as Sunset walked out of it. Her cheeks were bulging like a chipmunk's and there was a noodle dangling from her lips. She slurped it up and swallowed. “Nothing suspicious in his refrigerator.” “Could you please take this seriously?” Twilight demanded. “We're risking everything just because you can't say no to Celestia.” “Oh, like you could do that yourself,” Sunset sniped back. “I could...to this world's Celestia.” Sunset rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I'll go check Night Watch's bedroom, you search the rest of the house.” The last room turned out to be an office, with a few filing cabinets, a swirling chair and a wooden desk with several folders and letters lying on it. Glad to finally be getting somewhere, Twilight sat down and picked up a folder. Just as she was about to open it, however, she froze. What am I doing? she thought to herself. This was a man's personal information. Was she really going to violate someone's privacy just for the sake of one woman's jealousy? Sighing, Twilight laid the folder back on the desk. This whole endeavor was a mistake. There was absolutely no reason to suspect Night Watch of anything, and it was wrong for her and Sunset to indulge Celestia's paranoia. The two of them would just have to leave immediately and face the music in the morning. As Twilight stepped out of the office, a noise drew her attention to the front door. There was a click and the doorknob began to turn. OH NO! -------------------------------------------------- Sunset was searching through Night Watch's underwear drawer when Twilight burst into the room, quickly yet quietly shutting the door behind her. "They're here!” she hissed. “Damn it!” Sunset swore. She had thought that they would have been gone for a few more hours at least. Footsteps could be heard drawing closer to the room. “We need to get out of here!” whispered Twilight. “Let's go out the window.” “There's no time!” said Sunset. There was a closet with sliding doors in the room. Grabbing Twilight's hand, she slid it open, pulled her inside, and shut it just as the bedroom door opened. For a while, the two of them remained perfectly still in the cramped space filled with clothing. Eventually, Sunset dared to squirm around to slide the door open just a crack to peak outside. Luna and a man were standing beside the bed, making out. The first thing Sunset noted upon seeing Night Watch for the first time was that he was a very handsome man. He was about a head taller than Luna, with dark gray blue skin and unkempt silver hair. He had a strong chin and well defined cheekbones. His most striking characteristic, however, was his pair of bright golden eyes. For a minute, the two of them kissed each other hungrily, but then Luna seemed to lose her nerve. She pulled away, wrapping her arms around herself. “What's wrong?” asked Night Watch. Luna sighed. “It's nothing, just...Tia and I had an argument earlier this morning.” “Was it about you moving in with me?” Luna nodded with a downcast expression. Night Watch sat down on the bed and patted the space beside him. Luna sat next to him. “I didn't want to say anything, but ever since you introduced us, I can't help but feel like your sister doesn't like me,” Night Watch admitted. Luna shook her head. “It's not you she doesn't like. Under any other circumstances, she'd love you. It's just that Tia and I are very reliant on each other. “Our mother is a very demanding woman with high expectations. Ever since Tia was a child, Mother pushed her constantly to be the best at everything, never letting up for even a minute. She was never outright abusive, but was a lot of pressure for Tia, far more than any young person should have to endure. As for me, I was the result of an unplanned pregnancy; Mother never intended to have more than one child. No matter what I did or how hard I tried to prove that I was just as good as my sister, all of Mother's plans revolved around her first daughter, and it was clear that she had no idea what to do with me.” Luna sighed sadly. Night Watch reached out and pulled her close; she rested her head against his shoulder. “Anyways, in order to deal with our problems, Tia and I turned to each other. Growing up in a family as influential as our own, people were either intimidated by us or tried to curry favor by fawning over us, leaving us with few real friends, so the two us were pretty much all we had. I can honestly say that I feel like Tia raised me more than our own parents did, and she was definitely the only one who really understood me at the time. She was the only one who didn't freak out when I went through my goth phase, and she ended it herself by acting like she wanted to 'join me'. Seeing her wearing that horrible make-up and clothes and calling herself 'Nova Doom' made me realize how ridiculous I was being. “After graduating from college, I followed Tia into politics, and for a while, things were great. But then a whole lot of issues finally caught up with us. To make a long story short, we had a horrible falling out and I turned my back on her and ran away. We didn't speak to each other for nearly three years, until we finally realized how miserable we were without each other. We made up, and after a whole lot of tears and apologies, we swore that we would never let anything tear us apart ever again. But now, I'm afraid that Tia is scared that she's going to lose me again.” For several long minutes, Luna and Night Watch simply sat together in silence. Sunset mulled over everything she had just learned. It put a lot into perspective. Finally, Night Watch spoke. “Listen, if you're having second thoughts about us living together...” “No!” Luna cried hastily. “No, it's nothing like that. As much as I love Tia, I don't want my entire life to revolve around her. I want to live with you, and build a future with you. I just wish she could understand that that doesn't mean I'm leaving her behind.” “Tell you what,” said Night Watch. “Tomorrow, why don't you and I sit down and have a long talk with your sister about how you feel? We'll explain that she has nothing to worry about, because there is room in that big heart of yours for both of us.” “Do you think she'll understand?” asked Luna. “If she loves you as much as you say she does, then she'll definitely understand,” Night Watch assured her. “And no matter what happens, I'll be right there by your side.” Luna smiled and nuzzled her head against him. “Thank you.” Smiling coyly, she stood up and held her hand out to him. “Now then, where were we?” Night Watch stood up and the two of them began kissing again. Luna grabbed his shirt and pulled it off. Sunset's heart raced. While Night Watch didn't quite match the sculptured perfection of the men in the romance novels she read occasionally, he came pretty damn close. He was lean, with perfectly cut muscles and an impressive six-pack. Luna ran her her fingers over his chest and sides eagerly, licking her lips in anticipation. “We shouldn't be watching this,” Twilight whispered. She had at some point positioned her head beneath Sunset's to watch the same scene she was. Sunset silently agreed and was about to move away, but she froze when Night Watch took off Luna's own shirt for her, and then helped her remove her pants as well, leaving her clad only in her bra and panties. Sunset licked her lips. While it was unanimously agreed that the sisters who ran Canterlot High were both extremely attractive women, she had never really appreciated that fact until now. Luna's body was strong and lithe, with smooth, flawless skin and a board-flat stomach. While Celestia clearly had the better bust, Luna made up for it with a firm, perfect ass. Reaching up behind her back, she undid her bra, letting it fall to the floor, and then slowly, sensually, peeled off her panties. Sunset looked Luna's gorgeous nude body up and down, her gaze lingering on her cleanly shaven pink crotch. Night Watch leaned down to plant kisses across Luna's breasts. She moaned, entwining her fingers in his hair and pressing him closer. She gasped when his lips reached the nipple of her right breast while his hand reached down to stroke and massage her pussy. Night Watch began lowering himself further, only for Luna to grab his shoulders and pull him back upright. He looked confused, and a little disappointed, until Luna lowered herself to her knees and undid his pants, pulling them down and doing the same to his boxers; he kicked them both away. The almost electric sensation that Sunset had been feeling since things had started getting hot intensified when she caught sight of Night Watch's dick. While she didn't have much to compare or contrast it with, it was long and thick and currently very hard. Luna gently wrapped her fingers around the shaft and began stroking it from base to tip. Night Watch moaned in appreciation. Then Luna leaned forward and wrapped her lips around his dick. He gasped loudly, throwing his head back as Luna drew more of his dick into her mouth until she reached his base, then pulled back, only to suck him in again. Sunset fought hard to keep herself from panting as she watch watched Luna give Night Watch a bonafide blow job. She wasn't sure who she was more jealous of — Night Watch for having such a beautiful woman go oral on him, or Luna for getting to put such an impressive cock in her mouth. After several minutes of Luna sucking on Night Watch's dick, he let out a loud shout, grabbing her head as his body spasmed. Luna released him, leaning back on her heels and swallowing what was in her mouth. Panting and grinning happily, he reached down and helped her up. She briefly protested when he tried to kiss her, expressing concern that he wouldn't like the taste of his own seed in her mouth, but he made it clear that he didn't mind by pulling her into a deep kiss that had her moaning as he laid her down on the bed, covering her body with his own. He continued to kiss her while playing with her breasts, gently rubbing her crotch with his leg. Without warning, Luna rolled him onto his back, straddling him. She took hold of his flagging dick and started stroking it again. Once it was nice and hard again, she pushed herself up and aimed the tip of it at the entrance to her pussy. Sunset watched, entranced, as Luna lowered herself, taking Night Watch's dick into her body, a sigh escaping from her lips. Once she had reached the base, she braced herself with both of her hands on his chest before raising herself back up and baring down, over and over again. Sunset was faintly aware that she was rubbing her crotch through her pants as she watched the two make love. Night Watch held onto Luna's hips to help guide her; he was clearly enjoying both the position and the view it afforded him. Luna moaned and gasped and whispered her lover's name as she grinded against him, her breasts bouncing slightly with her movements. Sunset could hardly believe that this passionate, downright wanton woman was the same stern, intimidating vice-principal who had managed to scare even her a little back during her time as a bully. After what seemed like forever, Luna's movements became faster, her cries louder and more desperate, until Night Watch, crying out even louder than before, thrust his hips upwards, nearly lifting her off the bed, as she threw her head back and screamed in rapture. Never in her entire life had Sunset seen anything as beautiful as two people climaxing together. Once it was finished, Luna fell forward, planting her face against Night Watch's chest. Both of them panted for breath. Night Watch raised an arm to caress Luna's back. After a moment, Luna raised her head to kiss Night Watch before whispering something into his ear that he seemed to find delightful. Pushing herself off of him, she wriggled around to face away from him on her hands and knees, raising her ass up in the air and wiggling it at Night Watch. Pushing himself up to his knees, he began stroking her pussy lips, making her moan. She grew louder when he leaned in and began to lick them. After several minutes of this, Night Watch rose up; grabbing hold of Luna's hips, he aligned his dick, now possibly even harder than before, with her slit and thrust into her, fucking her for all he was worth. Sunset never really understood the appeal of having sex “doggie-style”. To her, it seemed rather demeaning. However, seeing it in real life, she realized that she should probably reconsider her opinion. Luna was a picture of pure carnal ecstasy — her eyes were shut tight and her hands were digging into the mattress as she thrust her hips back desperately, all the while moaning and shouting with the occasional cry of “more” and “harder”. As for Night Watch, he seemed to be possessed by some primal male pride, grinning wildly and pounding into Luna harder and harder. With one final thrust, Luna arched her back, threw her head back and howled, while Night Watch let loose with an almost animalistic roar. When it was over, they both collapsed onto the bed, sweating and panting like they had just run a marathon. Pushing herself back up gingerly, Luna crawled around to lay next to Night Watch; she wrapped her arms around him and nestled her head against his chest as he pulled the covers over them and tucked the pillows beneath his head. They spent several long moments simply whispering things Sunset couldn't understand to each other before Night Watch reached over and turned off the lamp on the bedside table. Sunset and Twilight waited for a good long while before they very carefully snuck out of the closet, out of the room, and out of the house. They retrieved the bicycles they had ridden there on from the bushes they were hidden in. “Tomorrow, we tell Principal Celestia that we didn't find anything,” Sunset instructed Twilight. “We'll also tell her that we're not going to help her with her vendetta anymore, and that her sister is a grown woman who can make her own decisions, and that she needs to respect that.” “Understood,” said Twilight. She turned around and mounted her bike. “Where are you going?” asked Sunset. “The school is in the other direction.” “I'm going to Flash's house,” Twilight called back as she rode away. “Why?” “WHY THE BUCK DO YOU THINK?!” “Oh.” Sunset pondered this for a moment. “Hey, wait for me!”
