The cold night air felt wonderful on Twilight's chest, feeling her lungs slowly start to fill with the brisk substance allowed her to calm herself. Twilight always loved taking a stroll through the Canterlot Gardens, she found it very relaxing whenever she had a large pile of work to complete during her visits to the Princess. Plus with the past week this almost felt like heaven. Princess Celestia had called onto her earlier during the week to come to Canterlot to help with the preparations for a defence spell. After Queen Chrysalis had fooled everypony at the royal Canterlot wedding, except Twilight herself of course, Princess Celestia found it necessary to take immediate measures in order to make sure that, would never happen again.
Twilight had been wandering for what seemed like hours, but in fact happened to be only a few minutes the defence spell was nearing completion and could be finished by morning. Princess Celestia however gave Twilight the night off considering how much time and effort she had put into the spell, and didn't want to over work her most faithful student. Twilight was reluctant at first to leave a job unfinished but after much convincing from the Princess, Twilight allowed herself the time off and was now grateful for it.
Slowly the minutes passed and Twilight grew cold under the night's gaze, she thought for a moment about teleporting back to her warm, cosy room but dismissed the thought on not wanting to waste this beautiful night. The only sounds that could be heard were those of the sleeping animals in the garden and that of the howling wind, eventually the cold became to much to bear and Twilight was back at her room in a flash. Twilight had gone out to the balcony in order to stare at the night sky all the more. Twilight sat on the balcony for more than two hours completely unaware of the presence that lingered near.
Twilight grew to love the night the calmness and serenity mixed with the fascination of the star filled sky, wondering how any pony could have feared the night for so long. Many nights Twilight had stayed awake until the early hours of the morning just to study the stars constellations. Twilight already knew that the stars had been created by Princess Luna, although Twilight had never asked her as to why she had made them, or if they happened to have been a spur of the moment kind of thing. All in all Twilight didn't worry to much behind the stars history, but more on the meaning of what they represent.
Completely unaware of Princess Luna's presence Twilight began to sing a song that Princess Celestia sang to her when she was just a filly in order to help her sleep, or calm down for the casting of a large spell. It had not been sung to her in a while, nor did she remember why Celestia picked that song but she still remembered the words as clear as the stars in the sky tonight.
“A falling star fell from your heart And landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, And now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart”
As Twilight finished singing the whole world seemed to come to a halt as she remembered that she was still outside, she turned to head back inside and curl down in front of the fire to read a book when she was startled to see Princess Luna there.
“Thou hath a good singing voice Twilight Sparkle we are....... uh that is to say I... find it very soothing when thou was starring at are, I-I mean my night sky pray tell why was thou out here for two hours starring into thy sky” Luna said still trying to get a hold of her grammar
“Oh Princess Luna sorry I just like to stare at the sky every now and then I find the star constellations very beautiful to look at, then again I did when I was a filly”
“Oh Miss Twilight Sparkle thou can not address me in such a royal manner we are friends are we not call me Luna”
“Okay Luna as long as you just call me Twilight deal?”
“Deal.... so does thou think of my night as beautiful? Very few had come to call it that when I was still here a thousand years ago”
“Oh yes the amount of night's I've stayed up late with my telescope just staring at the constellations and thinking about how much time and effort you must have put into them almost makes my heart burst, I often find myself singing that song on night's like this”
“Oh thoust were not aware of such affection for my night” Luna said while blushing “ And pray tell what is thy name of thy hymn thou were just singing”
“Cosmic Love” Twilight said smiling “Princess Celestia used to sing it to me when I was filly to help me calm down, I've loved it ever since”
“Really would thou believed I wrote that” Luna said with a smirk
“Really!?” Twilight said with almost a shock “Yes when I first raised the moon I used to sing it every time I raised the moon but it soon became tire-sum 'Tia' used to sit with me when I did, I didn't think she would still remember it let alone sing it to any pony”
Twilight said still shocked “Wow and yeh-eh and for what it's worth it's my favourite song Luna”
“Glad to know Twilight”
“Not that I don't love your night it's just it's rather cold outside tonight would you like to come inside instead?”
“That would be most enjoyable it is rather cold tonight”
The two wandered inside closing the balcony doors behind them.
The two sat down in front of the fire Twilight nervously shifting her hooves and searching around the room for something to keep her eyes off the princess, why would she be here with me. Twilight thought they're must be somewhere else the princess would rather be.
Meanwhile the Princess was looking over Twilight's old room. Princess Celestia had allowed Twilight to stay in her old room for the time she was in Canterlot, that had made Twilight more relaxed throughout her work. But seeing Princess Luna looking around almost inspecting it made Twilight feel nervous and almost scared, that Luna would point out a small amount of dust somewhere or a book that was not in it's correct place.
“My My Twilight thou sure does have a lot of books, this is your inventory am I correct”
“Uh yeah Luna I collected these while I lived in Canterlot, my library back in Ponyville has a much larger collection but not as much the Canterlot Archives here” Twilight said blushing
“Wow” “Does thou have a particular Genre thy like most, Adventure like the books of Daring Do, Factual Like Unicorn Anatomy, Or classics's such as StarSwirl The Bearded's Magical Mythology”
“Wow Princ- I mean Luna I didn't know you knew so much about books”
“Being gone a thousand years has put us behind on our literature reading so in the past couple of years we have gotten up to speed so to say” Luna Smiled
“ Heh well my favourite is Astronomy books those that indicate the stars, What's yours Luna” Twilight Gulped
“We uh. I personally like to delve into that of Romance we find it very relaxing what of thou why does thou like to watch and read of my stars so much”
Twilight panicked, she felt as though she was being interrogated but slowly composed herself again
“Uhh you'll think of it as silly Luna just some filly's imagination gone wild” Twilight Shrugged
“Not at all Twilight we would love to hear why thou likes are stars and moon so much. Not many pony's do and we feel honoured that Tia's most faithful student does, Please tell”
Did she just call Celestia 'Tia' Never mind Twilight shrugged it off “Okay as long as you promise not to laugh”
“Thou swears on our own sister we shall not laugh” Luna said while using her hoof to cross her heart.
“Okay...” Twilight Sighed “It all began when I was just a filly, my mother used to tell me stories of the mare in the moon. Despite how some would find them frighting I found them enthralling, I used to think that Princess Celestia and Princess Celestia alone raised the sun and the moon, but mother would tell me stories of Nightmare Moon. How she once raised the moon and the stars in all they're glory and painted the beautiful night and how the moon was a symbol of her passion just as the sun was Princess Celestia's.”
“But then she would tell me the story of how no pony else seemed to enjoy her night, being the night Princess she would stay awake during the night, and sleep during the day, as to follow her duties of raising the moon, sometimes I used to get sad when she would tell that part”
Luna raised an eyebrow
“I mean being awake when every pony else was asleep would seem kind of lonely, knowing that your moon and stars were all you had and of how much it must of hurt thinking that no pony appreciated them, thinking you were the only one to gaze at them must of hurt, I always felt sad and sometimes I would whisper into the night 'I'm watching”
Luna's eyes began to glisten
“I used to think how much effort and magic it must of taken to raise the moon, even though it's not as big as the sun the amount of stars in the sky could surely make up for it” Twilight smiled
“When mother left my room after telling me stories I used to just stare straight into the face of the moon, thinking and wondering, Many times I caught new stars appearing and others exploding. As a filly, I just thought that Nightmare Moon was merely moving the stars to another location as to change the night around, watching, waiting, to see if some pony noticed, if any pony noticed”
Luna started to feel a lump form in her throat
“As I got older despite my mother telling less and less of those stories I never lost interest in them. I'll never forget the first telescope I ever got, or my first stars of the sky book, I'd spend every other night looking at the stars writing down new ones that appeared, and the ones that vanished. Looking for the constellations in the sky, making notes and even writing my own. It was a nice break from my other studies, purely because I thought it was all myth”
Luna frowned. Twilight continued to tell the story unaware of the Princess's emotions
“But then a couple of years ago I read a book called Equestrian Mythology, that I had found in the Canterlot Archives, a book that seemed so old it looked as if it had not been read in over hundreds of years, and there I found the original tale of Nightmare Moon, in the restricted section”
Luna Gulped
“I read the book over and over again, reading about Nightmare Moon and The Elements Of Harmony, I thought more about the night and realized what I thought was myth could well be very true. I was happy that one of my most influential dreams was true but at the same time terrified that so was one of my worst nightmares”
“After Princess Celestia sent me to Ponyville to learn about friendship, I found I was missing the night, dealing with all those hyped up ponies made me miss the calmness of the night. Although my friends had started to grow on me, then just when I thought that the myth had stayed a myth, Nightmare Moon appeared, after me and my friends rushed to defeat her using The Elements Of Harmony and released her hold on you Luna I saw something I'll never forget”
Luna's ears perked up along with fresh tears flowing from her Crystal Blue eyes. Twilight still unaware that she had reduced the Princess of the night to tears.
“I saw you in all your beauty, some pony who had been freed from all hate and jealousy, all anger and fear, all pain and resentment. But I also saw a pony who had been broken, Princess Celestia's mane represents her connection with the sun as yours does with moon, but when we first freed you I couldn't have imagined how much pain you felt. Betraying your subjects. Betraying your own sister. But most of all betraying yourself, loosing the connection with the thing you care about most and waking up a thousand years later to find everything you cared about, everything you'd ever know to be gone, I couldn't imagine a worst pain, to have only your sister and your night sky left.
“Knowing you betrayed your sister, and were no longer connected to your moon, and having everything you've ever known disappear must of nearly killed you, but I'm happy to see that wasn't the case, that you over came the worst kind of pain through friendship, and even though the Princess says it's all thanks to me I feel that, couldn't be further from the truth you over came the hardest part on you own, and that's more creditable than what I did”
“No!” Luna yelled in the royal Canterlot Voice.
Twilight turned to see Luna in tears
“Princess Luna..........”
“Thou is not true Twilight Sparkle!” Luna yelled “If it wasn't for you we would still be Nightmare Moon. We would still be the same pony filled with hate and resentment for my sister and my subjects, it was thou that found out about me, thou that gathered other ponies to help defeat me, and thou that succeeded. If thou had not stopped us, we wouldn't want to imagine what would have happened to Equestria”
“But Luna I only re-opened the wounds, your the one that healed them” Twilight said almost crying
“Tis not true you saved us from ourself, we would not be here, would not be connected to our night again, would not be connected to our subjects again, and would not have resealed our bond with our sister, if it wasn't for thou, not to mention what occurred on Nightmare Night only a year ago”
Luna cried trying to keep control of her voice only to have Twilight fill with guilt at upsetting the Princess.
“You taught us the meaning of fun, the meaning of friendship, when all others ran away from us, when all others feared us, when all pony's hated us, thou didn't, thou came up to us unafraid, unshaken, and determined to help us, thou can not imagine the amount of joy we felt that night. To have some pony come up to us and take interest in our feelings, and not only that but also to have some pony fight for us, not give up on us, and more importantly not let us give up on ourself, you may see me as the brave one Twilight Sparkle but it is thou that is the courageous one not us” Luna stated, crying more in the last ten minutes than she had in the last thousand years.
Luna slumped to the floor feeling sadder than she had ever felt, not at what Twilight said about her, but at what Twilight said about herself. Luna couldn't understand why Twilight had looked down on herself, but after reading her friendship reports, with Tia's permission of course, see saw some doubt, but after all this mare had done for her, for Celestia, for her parents, for her friends, even for that dragon she calls her number one assistant, Luna just couldn't understand.
Twilight was stuck in place, she didn't know what to say to Luna, she felt like she was the worst mare in the world for making the Princess cry and went over and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
“I'm sorry Princess Luna I never thought my story would make you cry you must think I'm the worst pony in the world I'll leave if you want me to” Twilight said in tears
“No!” Luna yelled again “Why would thou think we would want thee to leave?”
Twilight Sniffled “Because I made you cry, the Princess of the night's tears are not worthy of being shed over some simple unicorn” Twilight rubbed her stinging eyes “I know you think I'm some amazing mare who's done all these things to help ponies, but in truth, I'm not worth your praising words, I guess I think this way because I grew up under the wing of Celestia, I grew up thinking why the Princess chose me just because I have a bit more magical ability than most, in truth, I'm just a dork that spends to much time alone reading, overreacting when something goes wrong, and still having magic surges even thought I'm a grown mare, I may be the element of magic but I feel like so many other ponies deserve it more than me, my only friends when I was in Canterlot where my BBBFF, My Teacher Princess Celestia and my foal sitter Cadence”
Luna pulled the mare into a tight hug holding on as long as she needed to, Twilight continued still crying.
“The reason I never had friends was because I was so unlike able, when Shinning and Cadence got married I lost two of my best friends, I'm still waiting for the day when Princess Celestia tells me to go, everypony knows I'm not worthy of being her Faithful Student”
Twilight said trying to hug the life out of Luna.
Luna felt her heart breaking at Twilight's words as well as her blood boiling at what this mare thought of herself.
“Now thou listen to me Twilight Sparkle” Luna said with force still holding onto the unicorn
“I have never seen a more smart, courageous, strong, determined, beautiful mare in my life. Some pony who's not afraid to step into the unknown, a pony not afraid to take the lead. A pony not afraid to stand up and risk her life for her family, her friends and everything that is important to her, and if we have to we shall make sure to prove to thou that every word we say is true, because we want this mare to remember why she's fight, to remember to believe in herself and her cause. Because when one stops believing in themselves and they're cause, they turn into Nightmare Moon”
Twilight was still sobbing.
“There There” Luna said while wiping the tears from Twilight's eyes and muzzle “We shall have no more of that shall we”
After a few good minutes of crying Twilight finally calmed down.
“Sorry Princess Luna I didn't mean upset you” Twilight said wiping the last remaining tears from her face
“Now Now, it was us that got caught up in thou's story, thou just told it so well” Luna Smiled
Twilight looked up still in Luna embrace, the redness in her eyes had gone down and the sobs deceased, a few strands of tears where left in Twilight's eyes leaving those violet round orbs glistening in the light of the moon. If cuteness caused heart attacks Luna was sure she would have one, much to her dismay Twilight broke out of the embrace.
“Uh sorry Luna it must be very unfitting of a Princess to hug a subject” Twilight Blushed
“Not at all, we were most enjoying it” Luna Laughed “Anyway we still have not told thou Twilight of the reason we came here” Luna stated
“Reason?” Twilight questioned
“Follow us to the balcony Twilight” Luna said while already on the path towards the balcony's ledge.
“Oh Okay” Twilight said confused
They both stepped out towards the balcony staring into the night sky, Luna began to talk not taking her eyes of the stars, while Twilight didn't take her eyes of the Princess
“You have much affection for my night Twilight so thou must be familiar with the star constellations?”
“Ye-yes Luna”
“And you are aware that I created them?”
“Yes”
“Do you know why I created them”
“No” Twilight Blushed turning her gaze from the Princess. Luna Smirked
“I did not create the stars merely to decorate the sky, each star I created had a purpose behind it. When I create a star, I supply it with enough magic to last one hundred years and when the magic is gone, the star explodes, but some stars such as the constellations with which thou are familiar, I constantly supply them with magic, as they are too important to me to have them destroyed. Some stars I can not remember why I created them, so I do not miss them when they explode, but some I keep because I enjoy the memory's I feel when I look at them”
Twilight gazed at the Princess hearing the passion in her voice
“Do you see that cluster of stars just north of that mountain” Luna said pointing out towards the sky
Twilight looked where Luna was pointing and notice the stars she was pointing at “Yes”
“I created that after one of my servants Sir BlueBell he was a royal foal, he was hired to entertain me and my sister thousands of years ago, I always enjoyed feats he put on shortly after me and my sister had learned to raise the sun and the moon he fell ill, he was a simple pony, that loved to make foals smile, I think he and your friend PinkiePie was it? Would have been great friends, even during his time in sickness he still enjoyed and tried his hardest to make me and my sister smile, he had not any children of his own, nay any brothers or sisters, his parents had already passed on, so he was the last of a dying legacy. With his last dying words he gave me and my sister his two most treasured items, his Griffin feather hat, and his dragon tooth flute, he had seen a lot before coming to my sister and me” Luna said still staring into the sky, Twilight was almost entranced by the story
“I felt so sad after Sir BlueBell had passed away, I tried to imagine him again, his face, his hat, his flute and his smile, I squeezed my eyes so tight and imagined him as clear as water, when I opened my eyes I saw something amazing the first stars” Luna shed a tear at the memory
“My first ever stars where created, and they represented one of the most important ponies at the time, so you see dear Twilight, when I create a star, no matter if I let it explode, no matter if I don't mean to create it, every star represents something I am proud, of something that has made me happy, and given me hope for a brighter future, the constellations are my most important stars, although I love every star even the one's I don't remember creating” Luna's smile faded quickly
“Except One”
Twilight froze
“Have you heard of the red star Twilight?”
“Uh yes it's the star that was said to be created at the dawn of Nightmare Moon” Twilight Shuddered
“Exactly, I created that star out of pure hate, which is why it glows red, even though that star should have blown up Century's ago I keep feeding it magic, not because Nightmare Moon is still a threat, not because there's a possibility she'll return. But because she was an important tear drop in my ocean of sorrows, one that should never be forgotten. But something I must remember to ensure the amount of pain I caused, will never happen again” Luna said with a pained face
“Is this why you brought me out here Luna? To show me your night sky because I find this tale very interesting, I just wondered if you had a point” Twilight raised an eyebrow
“Ahh yes” Luna remembered “You know what I Think of you Twilight, I think of you as an amazing mare who has helped more times than she cares to recall” Luna knelt to the tiled floor
“Hop on” Luna said while stretching out her wings to they're full length.
“Prin-Princess I can't.... What would the guards think?...... What would Celestia think?!” Twilight yelled in an abrupt panic.
“Relax Twilight the guards know who thou are and Tia defiantly knows who thou are, I wish to show thou something that I need to fly to and thou can't fly can thy?” Luna questioned
“Well I know a spell that can give me temporary wings although I've never tried flying” Twilight Blushed
“Twilight you mustn't worry to much, were thou not just hugging me in thou's bed chambers” Luna repressed a smirk
Twilight's face grew redder by the minute her fur not hiding it well
“Okay..... just fly slow please?” Twilight's voice almost as low as FlutterShy's
Luna smiled as Twilight climbed on her back cautiously, she could tell the mare was trying to be careful while ascending the Alicorn. Unintentionally Twilight slipped while climbing onto Luna's back, her back right hoof fell and stroked her cutie mark while her face fell into Luna's feathers. Luna had to bring a hoof to her muzzle as the contact was unexpected, and had which brought a deep blush to the dark coated Alicorn, luckily her coat hid the blush rather well which couldn't be said for Twilight.
“Oh Princ-Princess Luna I'm so sorry I should just get down” Twilight said while placing her hoof firmly on the base of Luna Wing.
“N-No Twi-Twilight We wish to show you this please ascend now” Luna still repressing the urge to groan
“Oh okay Pri-Luna” Twilight said her face burning up now.
Twilight managed to get atop the Alicorn, she laid down her back with her Fore-Hoofs wrapped around Luna's neck.
Luna's mind was on standby her Cutie Mark was tingling, her feathers were ruffled, Twilight's body was on her back, the heat from her body and her breath on her neck almost made the Alicorn faint, but she decided to take flight before she could think on the situation.
“Okay let's go” Luna said taking to the sky
They landed on a nearby roof one which could only be accessible through flying, Twilight had her eyes closed the entire flight which had only been about a minute.
“Thou can open thy eyes Twilight we are here” Luna said whispering
Twilight opened her eyes to come into contact with a star filled sky, only to notice a star constellation she had not yet before, but that's impossible she's thought, she knew them all off by heart until she looked closer, she stared as the constellation for only a few moments before gasping.
“I-I-Is Th-That M-My” Twilight Stuttered
“Yes Twilight” Luna finished “You Cutie Mark is the newest collection to my night sky”
Twilight just stared, A new star constellations in the shape of a six-pointed star surrounded by five smaller stars left Twilight speechless.
“B-Bu-But Wh-Why” Twilight said still stuttering
“Have I not told thou this, thou helped me though my most difficult challenge and that certainly calls for a gift such as this my dear Twilight”
Twilight sat a gasp “But a whole constellation, you could have just made one star, or named an existing star, just that would have been a great honour from you, you didn't have to do all this!” Twilight said nearly fainting
“We wished to Twilight, thou means more to us than thou realizes, you have shown us nothing but kindness since we came back and we wish to do the same for thou” Luna sighed looking over the mare crying like a filly that had just received the greatest give in the world, in which she kind of had knowing Twilight's love for her stars, she breathed deep It's now or never Luna thought.
“Twilight”
“Luna”
They both said in unison
“You go first” Luna stated
“Okay okay Luna” Twilight breathed
“Yesssssssss” Luna dragged
“Tonight you have shown me what it is to be a true friend, I didn't ask for any of this but you gave it to me without a second thought, only thinking about me, that's why......... I can't lie to you any more” Twilight sobbed
“Whatever does thou mean my little pony” Luna said worried
“They're a reason why I loved your stories as a filly. A reason why I love the night sky. A reason why I want to be around you as much as possible and Nightmare Night confirmed it for me” Twilight's tears in full flow
“Twilight what's wrong please don't cry” Luna said pulling the mare into another hug
“Luna please don't hate me!” Twilight sobbed
“I could never hate you, now tell me what's wrong” A tear crept out the corner of Luna's eye, she couldn't stand to see Twilight cry
“Luna I........I.......”
“Yes Twilight”
“I........I........”
“Twilight”
Twilight held her breath “Luna I.... Love.....You.....”
At that moment Luna's world stopped, nothing could have replaced the amount of joy she was feeling, the years of pain lifted all because of this one little Unicorn. This magical, smart, strong, beautiful, Unicorn. Who has helped her time and time again. Luna looked down towards her still sobbing Twilight, she put her hoof under Twilight's muzzle and turned her to face her. Twilight's eyes stained red from tears, she closed her eyes tight whispering “Please don't hate me Luna”
Luna brought her muzzle inches away from Twilight's
“Twilight” She whispered
Twilight flinched
“I love you too” Luna said before kissing Twilight firmly on the muzzle
Twilight's eyes shot wide open, Luna was kissing her! The Princess was kissing her! All her dreams of this moment were finally coming true, all she could feel was the warmth of the Princess's coat against hers as she placed both her hooves around the Alicorns neck, while Luna wrapped her wings around Twilight. Twilight leaned into the kiss more trying to taste every inch of Luna's mouth. While Luna began prodding at Twilight's mouth with her tongue, Twilight was shocked but recovered and allowed Luna's tongue passage into her mouth, they sat they're for what seemed like hours fighting for dominance over Twilight's mouth, Luna had finally got Twilight and she wasn't going to let her slip away.
Luna used every inch of her tongue to caress Twilight's mouth but as her wings began to twitch she knew she wanted more, she brought her right Fore-Hoof down and slowly massaged Twilight's Cutie Mark. This caused Twilight to moan rather loud before burying her face in Luna's coat, something that made the Alicorn very happy, she lifted Twilight's face to hers, Smelling Twilight's excitement, Smiled and said “Bedroom”
“Bedroom” Twilight Panted
The flight back to the room couldn't have been less hurried, what took only about a minutes flight took them more than twenty as they took the long stroll through the gardens, Twilight nuzzled at Luna's neck, truth be told they both couldn't be more excited or nervous at the situation. Twilight being Twilight, Luna was the first pony she kissed and spending most of her life in the books made her panic more than anything. She wasn't worried about giving herself to Luna, who better to be with than the pony you love, a Princess none the less, and Luna had chosen Twilight. Even that didn't make her panic, that made her heart soar. But being inexperienced, not knowing what you're doing, what if she wasn't any good, what if she didn't please the Princess. The Princess, some pony who could banish her, or throw her in a dungeon, or throw her in a dungeon in the place that she banished her. That made her panic.
Luna was just the same. The only thing she knew of love was what she had read in romance novels, just as Twilight said, she was awake when every pony else was asleep, the only ponies she had ever really talked to was her sister, Cadence, her guards and the occasional subject. She had no idea what was going to happen but she knew how much Twilight respected her, and she respected Twilight just the same, so whatever was going to happen would happen together, they'd find out together, they'd love it together by now Luna's wings had calmed down but she twitched knowing soon they'd be back up in a flash.
They finally reached Twilight's room as it was the closest, Luna stepped inside first. Twilight soon followed. Luna turned around to find Twilight facing the door casting some kind of spell, she was about to ask what she was doing when the wall's suddenly vibrated around her, Luna could only guess that Twilight had cast a sound proofing spell, Luna slowly walked up behind her and whispered in Twilight's ear.
“Gotcha” Luna Purred before nibbling on Twilight's ear, Twilight's began to blush a bright red
“Luna!” She strained caught by surprise
Luna took the opportunity to wrap her wing around Twilight's waist and pull her into a deep kiss, she carried her loved one over towards the bed and sat down softly she wanted to make Twilight feel comfortable, feel relaxed, but most of all she wanted her to feel pleasure, to please this mare the way she deserved to be pleased, for everything she had done for her she wanted nothing in returned but to see this mare writhe in pleasure. Slowly Luna began to stroke Twilight's Cutie Mark just as she had done on the roof, only this time she had picked up the pace, rubbing faster and adding a little more pressure on than last time.
This time Twilight couldn't repress a moan, Luna began to feel Twilight's wetness through her coat, as Twilight's hind legs were wrapped around her waist, this caused Luna's wings to slowly spread out as she became more and more aroused, Twilight took the opportunity to give something back to her Princess for all the kindness she had showed her and to feel the mare that she loved.
Twilight slowly ran her hoofs up both of Luna's wings making Luna moan and break away from the kiss.
“Oh Twilight thou mustn't we are quite sensitive there” Luna gasped
Taking this sign that her plan of arousing Luna was working, Twilight slowly lowered Luna onto her back all the while rubbing her hoofs up and down the base of Luna's wings. Luna gasped. As soon as Luna was on her back Twilight went to work, she pushed herself further up Luna's body and began to run her tongue from the base of Luna's wing to the tip in slow motions, this made the Alicorn almost buck Twilight off but Twilight stayed in control. The Alicorns intimidating size didn't slow Twilight on her mission, she wanted to please Luna. Every inch of her. And that's exactly what she planned to do.
Slowly she ran her tongue up and down the Alicorns wing, nipping at feathers to add pleasure to her lover. She carefully stroked the other with her hoof in long, sensual strokes, after a few minutes she swapped and did the same to the other wing. Luna's Marehood growing wet already, and soaking the sheet's beneath her, but she didn't care, they didn't care, soon Twilight had the Princess of the night begging.
“Twilight please it's so hot, we cannot take it any more”Luna panted
“Oh no Luna have I left you feeling unsatisfied” Twilight grinned Luna had no idea what the Unicorn was planning
“You know I read somewhere Unicorn horns are very sensitive” Twilight said raising her hoof to Luna's Horn.
“And that the more magical energy the Unicorn in question has, the more sensitive the horn is” Twilight placed her hoof on Luna's horn causing her to shiver.
“So I wonder how much pleasure your horn could give you” Twilight smiled, slowly running a hoof up Luna's horn.
“Twi-Twilight don't ah-ahh it's too much” Luna's horn began to shimmer
“Huh I always wanted to know what magic taste like” Twilight smiled and she slowly leaned forward and placed her tongue at the base of Luna's horn and ran it up to the tip.
“Ha-ah ahhh ahhh” Luna shouted in short gasps
“Maybe there's something else I can do to help relieve that tension” Twilight said while slowly lowering head from the tip of Luna's horn, to the base back, to the tip in a quick, swift motion sucking on Luna's horn with everything she had, feeling every bump along Luna's horn felt wonderful on her tongue.
“Ahh Twilight don't something is about to happen please......please!” Luna was almost there and with one final stroke of Twilight's Fore-Hoofs along the length of Luna's wings pushed her over the edge
“Ah Twilight!” Luna Cried
Luna released a large amount of magic into Twilight's mouth, causing Twilight almost to be blown back but Twilight held her ground and made sure to swallow down all of Luna's magic not to waste a drop of the precious substance. Luna felt her climax rip through her and only hoped she had not hurt Twilight, but still feeling Twilight's mouth wrapped around her horn made her relax, as Luna came down from her climax she felt Twilight's tongue snake it's way down her coat leaving a trail of wet kisses on it's path, first stopping at Luna's neck and biting her neck, pulling at the fur ever so lightly, as to give Luna nothing but pleasure but hard enough to leave a mark which would have been more noticeable if it wasn't for the Alicorns dark fur.
Luna couldn't stand it any more, as much as she wanted Twilight to go lower she wanted to taste Twilight for herself, feel Twilight's fur against hers, and make Twilight feel the same pleasure that she felt, Luna surrounded Twilight in an aura of dark blue magic and lifted Twilight to face her. She kissed Twilight on the muzzle and rubbed her Cutie Mark with her right hoof. Twilight groaned , sprayed her ears back and blushing furiously. “Luna!” she cried
Luna used her magic to remove her pendant and her tiara and set them on a desk beside the bed, while she kicked off her hoof-plates each landing on the floor with a 'ping' she turned Twilight to face away from her, despite how much she wanted to see her writhe in pleasure. Luna slowly ran her Left Fore-Hoof down Twilight's body while using her right hoof to circle her Cutie mark, while biting on the back of Twilight's neck leaving a very noticeable red mark Luna smiled at this.
“Luna please!” Twilight cried “Please Luna I need you!” Twilight began to arch her back and scream as Luna lowered her hoof and began to stroke Twilight's already soaked Marehood. Luna bit down hard on Twilight's ear and raised her hoof and pressed softly onto Twilight's nub, causing the mare to scream. Taking notice Luna finally decided that she had to have a taste of Twilight now, she engulfed Twilight in an aura of magic and lowered her to the bed. Slowly Luna worked her tongue down the side of Twilight's belly causing the mare to shiver, she then ran her tongue up the side of Twilight's hind legs until she reached her prize.
Twilight's Marehood was now completely soaked, Luna closed the gap and inhaled deeply taking in Twilight's scent, she was dizzy with lust now and knew she couldn't stop even if Twilight asked. Twilight didn't want her to stop, with her ears flared back, her mane in a state of bewilderment, her Fore-Hooves pressed to her chest and her tail twitching, Twilight couldn't stand it any more.
“Luna ple-please!” Twilight gasped “Please Luna please!” she begged
“Please what my dear Twilight? What do you wish for me to do” Luna cooed licking her lips
“Ple-please Luna make the itching stop, lick me please, I want to feel your tongue inside me” Twilight said while her fur colour had changed from purple to bright red.
That was the last string cut Luna knew there was no turning back now.
“As you wish my dear Twilight” Luna smiled before slowly running her tongue along the entire length of Twilight's slit causing the mare to gasp out load, Luna began to pick up the pace running her tongue up and down the length of her slit similar to how Twilight had done to her horn which was still sensitive, feeling Twilight writhe underneath her made Luna's mind frantic as she abandoned all thoughts and simply dove her tongue as deep as it could go into the mares waiting sex, licking up every inch of wetness she could find, pushing her muzzle far beyond that just so Luna could coat herself with Twilight's juices.
“Lu-Luna more!” Twilight gasped. “Fast-faster please Luna I'm I'm.......!” Without warning Twilight released all over Luna coating the Alicorns muzzle in her scent, as the Alicorn pushed herself to lick Twilight passed her orgasm, Hearing Twilight's moans, tasting her juices, having the mares scent all over her almost drove Luna to climax herself, but she had something else in mind, something she hoped the Unicorn was ready for.
As Luna sat up she gasped at Twilight's form, her mane sprayed out over the bed spread, her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth, her hind legs spread far apart revealing her soaked Marehood and the soaked sheets beneath her, and her bright violet eyes lost in a sea of Extacy. If Luna had not so much control she certainly would have fainted right there.
Twilight slowly composed herself and managed to sit upright staring into Luna's crystal blue eyes.
“Luna please allow me the honour of pleasing the Princess of the night” Twilight sighed
“Thou has done enough for us already Twilight we only wish to please thou” Luna smiled as she gazed at Twilight. Twilight wanted to protest, but Luna had brought her still soaking muzzle down to kiss Twilight, the smell and taste of her own arousal sent Twilight over the edge she wanted to make the Luna Princess feel the same. She slowly lifted her tail and brushed it over Luna's Marehood causing the Alicorn to shudder, she repeated this a few more times until Luna could take no more.
Twilight licked around the mares chest and she slowly started to lower the Princess onto the bed and began her decention down the dark coated Alicorns frame, Luna would have protested but the Unicorns tongue just felt to good, as Twilight lowered her muzzle and began to lick Luna's Marehood, causing the Alicorn to cry out just as Twilight had begun to get into it, Luna engulfed her in an aura of magic and turned her rump towards her face so that she could give Twilight the same attention.
Twilight having already received such service from the Princess dove straight in licking at the Mares slit with all her power, When Twilight felt a stream of air blow onto her Marehood, she stiffened waiting for the arrival of the Princess's tongue on her Marehood, but was shocked when she felt something else caress her slit, she turned to see Luna stroking her hole with her horn and giving Twilight a loving glance awaiting for her conformation to go further. Twilight's mind pondered for a second before knowing that this was what she wanted to do, she smiled and spread her hind legs further “Please Luna I want you” She cooed
Needing no more approval Luna slowly stroked Twilight's entrance with her horn before running the tip across her nub causing Twilight to flinch with pleasure, slowly Luna entered Twilight, the deeper she penetrated, the tighter it got and the more pleasure this caused Luna, Twilight gasped as Luna's entire length had been taken in by her, her Marehood gripping Luna's horn for all it was worth, slowly Luna slipped her horn out, much to Twilight's disappointment, only to be thrust back in with such a force, this almost caused the mare to nearly collapse.
Luna kept up her bombardment on Twilight's Marehood, pumping in and out of her at a steady pace, she was closer now more than ever, and she wanted to come. She wanted to inside Twilight, she wanted her to feel all her magic, feel all her passion, feel all her love at once and make the mare come harder than anything. Twilight not to be out best began licking furiously at Luna's slit, trying to give the mare the same pleasure she was giving her, and somewhere it was working, after a couple of minutes of licking and thrusting both mare were close. Twilight knew she was close, and as final resort bit down on the mares nub causing Luna to cry out, and trust her horn all the way into Twilight causing the mare to come.
“Luna!” Twilight cried
“Twilight!” Luna screamed
Luna released a large amount of fluids onto Twilight's muzzle, as Twilight did onto Luna's horn, coating it in her juices. As a final act Luna's horn erupted with a large flood of magic being poured into Twilight, stretching her Marehood causing Twilight to scream, as she felt the immense power of being filled to the brim, Twilight came to another climax as her eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out from the pleasure.
Luna spent all the strength she had left on rolling out from underneath Twilight and cuddling up close to the Unicorn, she pulled the blanket atop them both and she whispered into Twilight's ear.
“I love you Twilight just know we will be there for thou throughout it all” Luna said before finally falling asleep.
Twilight smiled, despite being unconscious, at the memory she had just made and knew she would never regret it.
Twilight stirred woken by the sound of birds in the sky and stared out the window at the beautiful dawn, thinking Celestia alone must of planned this, she turned to see an empty bed, Twilight sat up as tears began to run down her face, 'It must have been a dream' she thought, as she buried her face in her hooves, until she heard the sound of running water coming from the bath room, she lifted her head to see Luna walk out and began crying again, Luna noticed and rushed to Twilight's side.
“Twilight what is wrong my dear” Luna said with a panicked tone
“Nothing I just thought when I woke up, and you weren't there I.... I.....” Twilight cried
“There There” Luna soothed
“But you came back I'm so happy” Twilight said hugging the mare tightly
“Of course we did I love you Princess Twilight”
Twilight's ears pricked up “Princess?” she said confused
“Of course” Luna laughed “Every Alicorn is royalty”
Twilight looked panicked “But I'm no-not a Alic.....” she turned around to find two new wings perched on the higher of her back, her eyes went wide, her pupils went small and Luna covered her ears for the next part.
“Ahh what the buck!” Twilight screamed as she panic strickenly fell to the floor. “Wha-What Bu-But Ho-How” she said turning her gaze to Luna on the bed.
“When we released our magic upon thou, it changed thy's form, when my magic became one with thou it connected u,s we are now bonded by magic” Luna blushed
“Wha-Why didn't you tell me this would happen” Twilight stated
“We didn't want thou to be influenced by the idea of immortality and power to change thy's judgement upon us, we are sorry Twilight” Luna lowered her head in silence
“No no it's just this is a lot to take in, so I'm a Princess like you and Celestia and cadence?”
Luna looked up “Yes by law you are now a royal Princess of Equestria”
“So does that mean I get to stay here with you” Twilight stared into Luna's hopeful eyes
“Yes if thou wishes” Luna Smiled
Twilight jumped back up to the bed, wrapped her fore hooves around Luna's neck, and kissed her deeply on the muzzle.
“Wait” Twilight asked “If I became an Alicorn because of uh.... you know, is that how you and Celestia became Alicorns?”
“No we were born Alicorns, but I believe thou's old foal sitter Princess Cadence is a different story”
Twilight's eyes went wide “Di-did you”
“Ha Ha no my dear, I believe thou's mentor Tia had something to do with that, she always was the experimental one” Luna Laughed Twilight just stared mouth agape
“So uh.... are we Mare friends now..... uh that is if you want to be Princess” Twilight Blushed
Luna smiled and raised a hoof to Twilight's chin and kissed her deeply, Twilight just sighed, thinking about how amazing it was, she was an Alicorn, she was immortal, and she'd get the spend the rest of her life with the pony she loved. She would have to explain everything to every pony, to her friends, to her parents, to her brother, ask Cadence a very interesting question about her and Princess Celest......... Twilight snapped out of her daze.
“Oh no, ohno ohno ohno!” Twilight yelled
“What is wrong” Luna looked puzzled
“The defence spell for Princess Celestia I need to go finish it, ARGG, but I can't let her see me like this what am I going to do!” Twilight yelled
“Simple, thou will go do the defence spell and I shall take care of Tia” Luna Smiled
“Oh-Okay” Twilight panicked she was already late as she went dashing out the room down the hall.
“Should have told her to have bathed first” Luna smiled
“Had an interesting night Luna?” Luna turned to balcony to see Celestia standing there
“Hello Tia how did thou know?” Luna smirked
“Well I was taking a nice morning flight like I always do, when I noticed an Alicorn Twilight running through the Gardens at high speed” Celestia raised an eyebrow “Care to explain?”
“She just wished to finish thou's defence spell on time dear sister, nothing more” Luna smiled
“Take care of her Luna, she is most precious to me and I wouldn't want to see her hurt” Celestia stood firm
“We wouldn't dream of it sister, for the first time we have found love and we shall protect Twilight with everything that we have” Luna stated
“Good now if there's anything else?” Celestia turned away
“Actually Tia if I were thou I would go talk to Cadence” Luna suppressed a laugh
“Why Luna?” Celestia glared back
“Just before Twilight does” Luna smiled while Celestia blushed
“Okay anything else?”
“Well........” Luna blushed “Would thy mind getting my silver plated box for me dear sister”
Celestia's muzzle formed a smile “You sure?” she asked
“More than anything” Luna smiled
“Be right back” and she was gone a flash
Luna laid back on the bed and thought of what was to come 'Twilight Sparkle Princess of Magic' she thought just then in a poof of smoke, a sliver plated box appeared with a note on it.
“I wish you nothing but happiness and I'll be keeping an eye on you both”
Luna looked down and with a baited breath and opened the box to reveal a six diamond plated engagement ring, and with a little bit of magic, those gems had been changed from white to purple.
Luna closed her eyes and began to think of the future, a brighter future, a funner future, and a future where her ocean of sorrows would be filled with magical stars .
But that's another story for another time.

Celestia breathed a heavy sigh. It was always the same.
Three hundred and forty two. Three hundred. Forty. Two years it's been, since her sisters banishment.
Three hundred and forty two years since she had to exile her own flesh and blood.
It was always the same. Every night Celestia stayed awake, looking at the moon for a sign. Any sign that her sister was safe, that she was happy, that she was okay.
What a joke. It had become Celestia's torment. Her curse.
Every night she would stay awake crying at the moon and stars telling her sister she was sorry. Screaming and calling out for her to forgive her. Only to be met by silence. The nights bitter cold winds reminding her she was now alone. Reminding her of what she lost. Reminding her of the past.
Every morning she would wake up and great the day with the biggest of smiles. Sure being a leader was hard. There was always ponies depending on her. There was always paperwork to do. There was always the day court, listening and suffering through ponies demands. It was tiring. It was hard, and every night she would retire to the royal chambers full of aches and pains, but it wasn't so bad.
Just before she retired to sleep she would always see her. Her beautiful, wonderful sister. Luna.
It wasn't for long. It never was. Ever since her coronation, Equestia had depended on her. It needed her, so she sacrificed. She sacrificed time, effort, even her relationships just to look after her kingdom. Sometimes it would take it's toll. Some nights she would lie awake and cry, or just lay on her bed and except defeat. Sometimes she would think of giving up, but one thing kept her strong. One thing reminded her that it wasn't all bad.
“We take it thou hath had a rough day dear sister?” The voice brought a smile to Celestia's face. As she rolled over to greet it's owner.
“The same as usual Lulu” She greeted her sister with a warm smile. She watched as Luna closed the chamber doors behind her and begin to shed herself of her royal décor. She watched as each piece was gracefully lifted off in a light blue aura of magic and slowly, ever so carefully placed on her table besides her bed.
“Art thou sure? Thou lookth very tired Tia. Shall we call for the hoof-maiden?” Luna looked towards her sister with a worried look.
Celestia just shook her head and smiled. “I am sure. Just a little tired as all.” She smiled.
Luna smiled back, a pure genuine smile that couldn't be mistaken for anything but love. She slowly headed towards the balcony as Celestia watched in awe. She watched as her sisters horn slowly engulfed in magic began to shimmer like a thousand tiny stars. She watched as her sun slowly fell below the horizon and the moon and stars replaced them. Her sister seemed so in place. So at peace.
“Beautiful” She whispered.
“What was that dear sister?” Luna sat down and slowly turned towards her sister, eyes glazed over in contentment.
Celestia shook her head and chuckled “Nothing” She smiled and headed towards the balcony to view her sisters work. “Have you made anything new for tonight?” She took a seat next to her sister on the cool balcony tiles. Levitating some pillows from her bed over to them.
“Indeed we hath!” Luna beamed with pride.
“Pray tell sweet Lulu” Celestia stared at her sister with affection.
“We hath be been perfecting a constellation all week, and we must say we are quite proud.” Luna's horn shone again and Celestia looked up to see some stars illuminate in the sky.
“And what? Pray tell was the inspiration behind these ones?” Celestia marvelled.
“Well thou seemed to be sad as of late so we decided to create a cluster of one of thou's favourite things” Luna smiled.
“Cake?” Celestia joked.
“No!” Luna giggled. “We know how thou art so much in love with thy newest pet” Luna's smiled so soft.
“Philomena?” Celestia asked.
“Yes, so we created the Phoenix cluster. Doth thou like it?” Luna turned towards her sister in anticipation.
A single tear slid down Celestia's eye unbeknownst to her sister. She leaned over and nuzzled her sister whispering in her ear “I love it”
“Truly?” Luna asked.
“Truly” Celestia pulled away and smiled back.
“We art glad” Luna leaned in and nuzzled her sisters chest. She stood up and stretched “Well we best get'th to the night court. Duty calls. Enjoy thou rest dear sister” Luna began to walk towards the bed to collect her royal regalia.
“Don't” Celestia said.
Luna turned back towards her sister with a confused expression. “Sister?”
“Please? Stay a little longer?” Celestia's eyes bore into Luna's how could she refuse.
Luna smiled. “Of course, dear sister” She made her way back towards her sister and sat down next to her. Celestia leaned over and nuzzled into her sisters soft fur as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
A loud knock ripped Celestia away from her memoires.
“You highness? It's time to raise the sun.” The voice called.
Celestia sighed. It was always the same. Everyday she would wake up and raise the sun. Go to day court. File paper work. Have brunch in the garden. Be bothered by countless ponies. Retire to her chambers. Cry at the balcony for hours. Lower the sun and fall into an uncomfortable sleep. Repeat.
Everyday was the same. Only this time Luna was not here to greet her every night. She was not here to offer her comfort, or show her the new stars she created. She was not here to take the days pain away. She was gone, and Celestia only had herself to blame.
Slowly she forced herself out of bed ready to meet the day, but what was the point? What was the point in ruling a kingdom when you had to do it alone.
She made her way out to the balcony and began to raise the sun. Her horn engulfing in a golden aura. She closed her eyes and raised the sun just as she had done every morning. She opened her eyes just to feel the sting of the suns burn in them. Oh how she had grown to hate it. How she had grown to hate everything it stood for. The sun was nothing more than a representation of herself, and oh how she hated herself. Everyday she would blind herself with the thing she hated most. Every night she would raise the moon and stars knowing they were not hers to control. Every moon rise made her hate herself more and more.
“Three hundred and forty two.” Celestia whispered. “Three hundred and forty two years I've had to do this. Control what is not mine to control” Tears slowly began to form in her eyes. “Three hundred and forty two years, I've had to turn your beautiful night turn into a symbol of distaste and disgust” The tears began to fall free. “Three hundred and forty two years since I failed you sweet sister” Celestia choked out the words. She looked towards the sun with a sad smile. Hoping to burn up in it's gaze. “I thought it would get easier. I was wrong. I love you Luna. I miss you” She hung her head low and proceeded towards her chamber doors ready to face another day.
“Are you alright your highness?” Celestia's ear twitched she knew who the voice belonged to, so she did not bother to meet his gaze. Celestia forced a smile onto the stone mask she had spent many years perfecting. Many years hiding behind.
“Of course” Celestia turned away refocusing on the paper work in front of her.
“Are you sure? You seem quiet. Is everything okay?” The young stallion asked.
“Yes. I am fine” Celestia forced out. Sticking her muzzle further into the papers.
“Celestia!” The young stallion said firmly.
Celestia flinched. She sighed and slowly raised her head to looked at the voices owner. She was greeted with a scowl.
“What is it Starswirl. I'm very.... busy.” She tried to lie but found she had no strength.
“I know you miss her.” The stallion said.
Celestia flinched so hard she felt as though she had been burned. “I have no idea what your talking about” She tried to ignore him.
“I think you do.” He slowly began walking towards Celestia. “Many ponies may have forgotten her but I know I haven’t, and I know you haven’t either” He stood just before her.
Celestia scowled. She didn't need this. Not This.
“It does not matter whether I miss her or not Starswirl. She's gone. It's in the past” She breathed deep.
“So your plan is to make everypony forget about her! Pretend she wasn't here! Erase her existence! Do you think that will ease the pain!” He screamed.
Celestia felt tears form in her eyes as she prepared to shed another thousand tears.
“Of course not! But what can I do! I cannot bear the thought of my subjects calling her a monster! What choice do I have but to erase her! That way.... That way.... She can still be Luna. She can still be my sister and not the Nightmare she became. I have no other choice......” Celestia dropped her quill and paper as tears poured from her eyes. She couldn't let them slander her. She wouldn't let them destroy the memory of her once dear sister.
“I'm sorry Celestia I can't imagine how much you miss her but... you cannot let this destroy you. You can only go on and live for her sake. She'd want that wouldn't she?” Starswirl lifted a hoof only for Celestia to teleport to the other side of the room.
“No!” She screamed. “I let her down! I left her to believe she was unwanted! That she didn't matter! Everypony looked to me to save them! To protect them! And what was she to them! Just.... the forgotten princess.... I failed her... I was supposed to protect her and help her but I left her to suffer...I left her alone.....and this... this is my punishment” Celestia trembled.
“Celestia...” Starswirl breathed.
“Enough!” Celestia filled with rage. Turned towards Starswirl kindness disappeared from her face altogether. “I am retiring early for the night. I do not wish to be disturbed. Understand.” She stated with a glare so cold it could freeze a pony on the spot.
“I....Yes your highness” Starswirl stared at the ground.
“Goodnight Starswirl” Celestia stated coldly as she walked towards her chambers blinded by tears.
Bursting through her chamber doors, slamming and locking them behind her. Her horn illuminating casting a sound proof spell that sent vibrations along the walls. Celestia screamed as she broke into a fit of tears for the hundredth time that day.
“Why!” She cried, chest heaving trying to keep her breathing calm and steady, but failing.
She looked to her right and saw her reflection in her mirror. Slowly on shaky legs she began to walk over towards stopping just in front of it. Staring into the mirror she took note of herself, mainly her regalia. Bright gold adorned nearly every part of her body. She hated it.
“Why...Why must I be tortured so.” She looked down at herself and scowled at the attire.
“I am suppose to be strong.” She began kicking off her shoes, slinging them across the ground with no care for where they went.
“I am suppose to be a leader” She flung one her shoes into the bookcase knocking down several books.
“I have a kingdom to rule and ponies to protect” She sent another shoe flying into a vase smashing it to pieces.
“But how can I, without you by my side!” Her horn lit up as she ripped her necklace from her body, wincing in pain as the force of speed shattered it, pieces scattering everywhere.
Celestia's hind legs gave out as she crumpled to the floor.
“How can I do this alone?” She whispered, she slowly levitated her crown off of her head as she stared into it's flawless jewel. Staring at her own pathetic reflection. Here she was shivering, red and puffy eyes, feathers ruffled, looking so....broken. She stared at her reflection for what seemed like an eternity. Staring at the one thing she hated most.
“I'm sorry Luna. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.” She cried. “I always loved your nights, they were so beautiful, like you. Every moon rise so filled with love, every star a beautiful memory every constellation a work of art.” Celestia sniffed.
“But you never knew. Never knew how much I adored your nights. I was so busy that I never told you and that was my true mistake. I left you believing that I didn't care. I can't imagine how much you wanted to hear me say it, waiting for me to tell you how amazing your night was.” Celestia sighed.
“You knew how much I loved you, so I never told you. I thought you knew. I should of told you. Maybe.... maybe if I'd told you, Told you how much I loved you, how much I appreciated you. Maybe.....you wouldn't have become what you did. I left you alone, and for that I am deeply sorry”
Her horn shone more brightly as her magic began to suffocate the crown cracking the gemstone.
“But it doesn't matter now!” Her eyes clenched shut as she threw her crown into the mirror shattering it as glass shards fell to the ground. She slowly opened her eyes tears on the brim but they refused to fall. “Nothing matters anymore” She rose on shaky legs as she headed towards the balcony. Her horn lit up again as she opened her bedside draw levitating a bottle out of it. She collapsed on the balcony bringing the bottle close to her face to look at it's contents.
'MOONSHINE Clear whiskey, Created and bottled by The Skim Sisters, Mane hattan' Was clearly written on the front. Celestia uncorked the lid and downed almost a 5th of the bottle. She grimaced at the bitter taste burning her throat. She hated drinking, but sometimes when the memories were too much, when she just needed to block them out alcohol was the only solution. She never used to drink, well not as heavily as she does now. It was Luna that liked to do that. The amount of times she'd invite her sister to taste a new wine she'd had imported from Baltimare or Maretonia. Only to watch as her sister drank their entire contents and start stumbling around and flirting with all the maids. It was quite the sight to behold. Celestia chuckled at the memory. But her smile quickly faded as she remembered that she wouldn't be making any more of those memories.
She scowled and she downed another swig of the liquid, humming contently as she began to get used to the burn once again. Her horn lit up, admitting a faint glow as slowly the last of the sun fell beyond the horizon and the moon and stars began to take their place. Finished with their placement Celestia felt disgusted. She had banished her sister and taken her rightful duty's away, the weight almost too much to bear.
She sighed as she felt the nights cool air flow through her fur and feathers, shivering in it's bitterness. Celestia sat and drank on the balcony for a couple of hours, only when going to take another sip did she notice she had finished the entire bottle of moonshine. Tipping it upside down and shaking it hoping it would produce more liquid but to no avail. She sighed as she set the bottle down on the table in the centre of her room. She stood up on shaky legs as she headed towards her bookcase stepping on broken shards of glass on the way, her body too numb to care. She pulled out a book, the cover worn and faded beyond reading. She opened it to reveal a second bottle of moonshine. Celestia hadn't planned on getting blackout drunk tonight but she had lost the will to care anymore. She opened the bottle dropping the cork on the floor as she chugged another generous amount of liquid. Coughing as she did so. She began stumbling towards her bed as she fell onto it.
Her mind fuzzy and her body numb she began swirling the liquid around in the bottle. She lied staring into the top of her bed canopy for what seemed like hours, until a flash appeared blinding her momentarily as a scroll appeared above her dropping and landing on her chest. She blinked a few times before forcing herself to sit up. As she unwrapped the scroll a small vile of liquid dropped between her haunches, She blinked in confusion and lifted it up to inspect it. A bright purple liquid swished about inside it. She looked back to the scroll and began to silently read it.
'Dear Celestia
I am truly sorry if my actions today upset you, but you have to understand. I see you as a very close and dear friend to me, you took pity on a poor orphaned foal whose only dream was to become a great wizard. Because of you I have learned so much. I honestly thought I had no place in this world, if my own parents didn't want me who else would? But you saw past that. You saw a young foal with potential and you gave me a chance, one I am eternally grateful for. Because of you my life has meaning, I have had the chance to do and learn things I only thought possible in my dreams. I owe you my life. Which is why I can't stand the thought of you throwing yours away. I can't even begin to imagine how much you miss her, but I know this isn't what she would want. You must know that deep in your heart. I know you believe this is your fault and no amount of words I can say will change that. But I can't stand seeing you like this, you've isolated yourself for too long Celestia. I know your drinking right now as we speak. Trying to erase the memories. So if your going to drink the least I can ask is that you do it in good company. Inside this scroll I've prepared a vile, (Don't worry I've tested it. Several times.) a potion that will change your outer appearance for 8 hours. I ask that you please drink it and go out and enjoy the festivities at the local establishments in Canterlot. (Although it won't hide your wings so you might want to cover them up) Who knows? You might be able to enjoy yourself. Meet some ponies and talk to them. What's the point of suffering alone? I ask that you please try my idea you might be surprised. You might even like it. And don't worry about taking any bits, I took the liberty of writing a scroll to every after hours establishment telling them somepony from the castle might be going to their establishment so they could an eye out and that all costs be sent to me. Think about it okay?
Your Dear Friend
Starswirl
Celestia scrunched up her nose as she slowly read the passage. Leave the castle? Had Starswirl lost his mind? She hasn't left the castle since..... Celestia frowned. No. Absolutely not. Celestia fell back on the bed rubbing her eyes. But maybe he was right. How long had she been trapped here? Forcing herself to be the the icon everypony needed? Forcing her every waking moment into protecting a kingdom that she no longer cared for? Too long. Maybe this was just what she needed. A night away from it all. She sat up and lifted the vial towards her face, staring at it's contents immensely. She uncorked the vial and lifted it towards her muzzle inhaling deeply. Strawberries? She thought. My favourite she smiled. She mulled it over for a few more minutes before thinking. Well what else do I have to lose? She took a deep breath before downing the entire bottles contents. Coughing as she did so. It may have smelt nice but it tasted horrible she thought. Slowly she got up out of bed feeling nauseous the Moonshine not helping.
She clutched her head in pain as the potion began to take effect. She felt everything. She felt as her body began to slowly shrink along with her horn and her wings. Her eyes stung and her fur tingled all over. After a few moments it disappeared. She opened her eyes and looked down towards her body. The first thing she noticed was that she didn't see her white hoofs staring back up at her but rather dark grey ones. She stumbled towards the broken mirror and picked up a large shard of glass she stared into it amazed.
Apart from the obvious horns and wings she looked entirely different. Her eyes, no longer a light purple were a soft green colour. Her fur a dark shade of grey. Her mane half the length and no longer flowing but rather softly resting on her head. A bright blue at the top and darker at the end, with white dots scattered in it. Like stars. She almost looked like......... No this had to be accidental. She had erased every trace of Luna so how could Starswirl..... She gasped as she looked at her Cutie mark. No longer was there a bright sun placed on her hips well.....not a whole sun at least.
Tears began to form in her eyes as she noticed half of her sun's Cutie mark had been replaced with a dark blue crescent moon. With little stars surrounding them. She sighed. “Of course he would” She thought. “Why must you dig Starswirl” She wiped at her eyes.
She looked over towards her wardrobe and gulped. She slowly walked over opening one of the big doors she pulled out the most least expensive looking thing that would cover her wings. She settled on a black and blue jacket with a moon symbol embroidered on the chest. A gag gift she gave Luna a long time ago. She smiled at the memory.
She tried it on. Fit like a horse shoe. Celestia sighed. Could she really do this? She looked around her room the destruction apparent. Then she glanced over towards the open doors of the balcony staring into the night sky. She levitated the bottle of moonshine over towards her and downed the rest of the bottle. She breathed deep and decided that out there must be better than here.
Celestia went out to the balcony. She had no idea where any establishments in Canterlot were so she didn't trust teleporting also she was far too drunk, and might end up in somepony's house instead. She removed the jacket and hugged it towards her chest breathing in deep. She stared into the the night as the cold wind rushed through her fur and spread her wings.
And with that Celestia took flight.
…......................................
On second thought maybe flying wasn't such a good idea. The change in her body's stature hadn't really effected her that much but the amount of moonshine she'd drank did. Canterlot's main street couldn't have been more than half a mile away however with the amount of alcohol Celestia had consumed it wasn't an easy trip. It was hard for her to remain air bound let alone fly straight. However even in her unsteady condition she managed to see the lights of Canterlot's high street. She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She opened them about to pick a spot to land on. But she'd already found it.
As she crashed straight into a tree.
Hitting a branch straight on, she proceeded to fall through the leaves and onto the grass below.
“Great start Tia” Groaning, Celestia rolled onto her stomach and shakily stood up swaying as she did so. She looked around hoping no pony saw her little accident luckily no pony did. She looked up into the tree as she noticed the jacket hanging from one of the branches. She levitated it down and put it on making sure her wings were safely tucked away. Slowly she walked towards the main street. Ducking her head just beyond a few buildings hoping no pony was there.
She slowly emerged from her place. As she began to walk down the brightly lit road.
“Huh. I didn't know Canterlot had places open at times like this?” She thought
Sure enough she noticed a few ponies walking in and out of several buildings. They seemed to be quite intoxicated as well with the way they swayed about. Some drunken stallions began walking towards her destination suddenly, panic began to fill her as she ducked into an alleyway to avoid being seen. She clutched her eyes shut as she waited for the them to pass her before breathing a sigh of relief.
“How can I even think about doing this” Celestia thought.
She wondered if she could really do this but she remembered what Starswirl said.
“Meet some ponies and talk to them. What's the point of suffering alone? I ask that you please try my idea you might be surprised. You might even like it.”
She breathed deep. No she could do this. Tonight she wasn't Celestia. She was just some regular pony looking for a place to have a good drink. She opened her eyes looking down the alleyway she noticed a bright pink neon sign. She steadied herself as she began to slowly walk towards it. As she got closer she managed to make out the signs name.
“Playmares Huh?” Celestia thought. “Maybe it's a dancing establishment” Celestia looked up staring at the sign that she didn't notice where she was walking until somepony stopped her. Jumping out of her fur Celestia looked towards the pony. She was a bit taller than Celestia was in her shrunken form, quite muscular, with a short red and green mane. She was wearing a black suit, tie and sunglasses “At night?” Celestia thought.
The pony tilted her glasses as she looked down towards Celestia.
“I.D please?” The mare asked.
“Oh! Um...” Celestia looked around panicky. As she turned she accidentally flashed her Cuite mark and the tall mare spoke up.
“Oh. Moonlight Sunrise I take it?” She said.
“Huh?” Celestia looked straight at the mare frightened.
“Moonlight Sunrise? Your the pony from the castle right? The one we got the scroll about” She asked.
“Oh! Yes! Um... that's me” Celestia stared towards the ground. “Moonlight Sunrise! Starswirl what were you thinking!” Her mind screamed. She began to breathe heavily.
“Hey calm down it's okay.” The mare placed a hoof on Celestia's shoulder. “We were told complete discretion. And we keep to our word so don't worry. I take it you've never been to a place like this before right?” The mare removed her sunglasses bright blue eyes showing. She smiled down at Celestia.
“Um.. No... I...” Celestia stuttered.
“Haha! Don't worry. My boss is a top notch mare she'll take right good care of you so head on in. The bar is in the back. But be careful. A cute mare like yourself will draw a lot of attention. If your feeling overwhelmed just come see me okay?” She winked at Celestia causing her to sprout a deep blush despite her dark fur.
“Oh. Um... I.... Thank you...” She stuttered as she stumbled up the steps inside the building. She lowered her tail quickly feeling the mares gaze on it as she walked in.
She took a deep breath. “Okay!” Her mind screamed. “She was friendly. Maybe a bit too much.” Celestia's muzzle felt like it was on fire. She was not used to this much attention. “Stop blushing! The moonshine! It has the be the alcohol. That's it!” She'd been around a long time. Longer than most ponies. However she hadn't been around other ponies that much, she hadn't left the castle since she lost Luna and she hadn't left it much before that anyway. She breathed deep. She could do this. She could do this!
She turned a corner and gasped in shock. She couldn't do this.
All over bright flashing lights illuminated the entire room. There was some sort of giant dance floor in the centre of the room. With several ponies stood on their hind legs grinding against each other. If a blush could catch fire Celestia would be in flames right now. She looked around rapidly and noticed several ponies on seats kissing each other heavily. Celestia's ears pinned to her head and her tail instinctively tightened behind her. “Oh My!” She thought.
She closed her eyes and breathed in deep. “I can't do this!” She thought. “I know I'll just run out! No. No. That won't work. What if the mare outside sees me! She'll think I've done something and come chasing after me! Okay okay deep breath you can so this.” She tried to calm herself down.
She looked up and noticed that there was a Pony behind a wooden gap pouring drinks into a glass in the far back.
“That must be the bar? That the mare mentioned” She began to shakily walk towards it. She had to be careful as to not bump into anypony on the way.
“There all mares?” She thought as she glanced around. Not noticing she bumped into a mare.
“Sorry!” She cried out as she looked at the mare before her. She was bright red with a short brown mane and a few piercings. She cocked a smile which re-ignited Celestia's blush.
“Well hey there sweetheart, care for me to buy you a drink?” She smirked.
“Um..No..thank you... that's okay.” She forced herself past the mare who in-turn whipped her tail and smacked Celestia's rump causing her to yelp and tighten her tails grip.
“Okay. But if you wanna have a little fun come find me K” She winked as she walked off.
Breathing heavily Celestia pushed past a few other mares and finally made it to the bar luckily there was nopony else there, most were on the dance floor, Celestia sat down with her tail tucked between her legs. “One drink. Then I'll leave” She huffed through her nose.
“Well hello there gorgeous what's your name?” A voice asked.
Jumping Celestia looked up. A unicorn with white fur, a short black and white mane and green eyes smiled at her. She was wearing quite a smart shirt and vest.
“Oh...Um...Ce...” She caught herself. “Moon.....Moonlight Sun...Sunrise” She stuttered.
“Oh! Your the pony we got a scroll about! It's nice to meet you!” She smiled quite sweetly.
“Oh...Um...Yes...That's...Um...Me.” Celestia tried to control her breathing. Looking around rapidly the mare seem to notice her fear.
“Woah calm down. It's okay. Don't worry. We were told complete discresion. Only Blaze, Tone Myself and our boss know who you are so don't worry.” She Smiled.
“Blaze? Tone?” Celestia questioned.
“Blaze is the mare out front. She's the bouncer. Stops trouble makers from getting in ya know? And Tone is the one over there behind the DJ booth. She's in control of the music” The pony pointed behind Celestia. She followed her gaze and noticed a bright Green and white pony with a black and green mane behind a box. She nodded and turned back towards the bar mare.
“My names Mixer Glass but everyone just calls me Minx. So what can I get you?” She sets down a glass “On the house of course” She smiled.
“Oh. Um. A glass of Moonshine please.” Normally Celestia wouldn't even think about getting drunk in front of anypony but she knew she would have to if she wanted to survive the night.
“Moonshine ey? You must really be nervous” She levitated a bottle of moonshine from the top shelf and began to pour it into a glass. She passed it to Celestia. “There ya go gorgeous calls us if you want anything else” She smiled and headed towards another pony waiting to be served.
Celestia breathed a sigh of relief. Looking towards her glass. She levitated it and swished it around. She took a rather large mouthful and swallowed it. Embracing the burn. She closed her eyes as she tried to gather her thoughts. “What was I thinking coming here. Nothing will change. I'll just go back to castle and wake up with a giant headache.” She sighed downing another generous amount of liquid.
“Rough day huh?” A mare asked.
Jumping Celestia began choking on the liquid. “I... beg.. yo-your pardon?” She stuttered out.
“Your drinking Moonshine so Rough day I take it? That stuffs lethal most ponies don't drink that kind of stuff unless they've had a rough day.” She smiled sweetly. Celestia got a good look at the surprise mare. She was young bright pink unicorn, with a long yellow, dark pink and purple mane, and bright purple eyes.
“You cou- could say that” Celestia turned her gaze away.
“New around here? I've never seen you before” She took up a seat next to Celestia.
“You could say that” Celestia's grip on her drink tightened as she stared into the glass.
“Ha, well you must be new, I'd of remembered a beautiful mare like you for sure” She smirked. Celestia's blush returned full force. “Enjoying the festivities are you?” She asked.
“You-”She began before being interrupted.
“-Could say that?” The mare finished Smiling.
Celestia's blush grew deeper. As she looked away.
“Hey don't get embarrassed I'm only teasing” She laid a hood on Celestia's leg making her jump.
“Whoa, someponys nervous, Don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you.” She smiled sweetly. Celestia's blush stayed as she refused to look at the mare. Downing the rest of the her drink.
“My names Cadance what's yours?” She asked.
“Mo-” She began before Mixer Glass interrupted them.
“Boss! Good to see ya! How you doing?!” She cheerily asked.
“Boss!” Celestia's mind screamed. “She owns this-oh horse feathers!”
“Minx! My favourite girl how you doing?” The mare smiled sweetly.
“Good. Ah I see you've met our V.I.P. of the night!” She smiled.
“V.I.P?” She turned her gaze towards Celestia.
“Horseapples!” Celestia thought as she looked like owl in candle light.
“Yeh this is Moonlight Sunrise. Ya know? The one from the castle?” She turned towards Celestia.
“Reallllllly?” Cadance began to slide her arm down the bar towards Celestia. “Interesting.” She smirked. Hey eyes sparkling in a mischievous dance.
“Buck” Celestia's mind swore.
“Minx. Pour our V.I.P another Moonshine, and I'll take a Mystic Amethyst” She turned towards the mare and smiled.
“Coming right up!” The mare began to pour the drinks Cadance never breaking gaze with Celestia. “There ya go call us if ya need anything else” She smiled and walked towards another pony.
“Thanks Minx” She called out and turned her attention back towards Celestia.
“So... When we got a scroll in the late hours of the afternoon telling us that a V.I.P member of the castle might be coming down to visit the bars and clubs of Canterlot I gotta say I didn't believe it. Nor did I think that they would come to a club like mine” She took a sip of her drink. Eyes never leaving Celestia's shocked ones.
“But now.... Well let's just say that I'm utterly delighted that they not only came to my club, but also that they're an incredibly-” She scooted closer to Celestia. “Gorgeous-” Her horn sparked up. “mare too” She sent off a little spark in the shape of a heart that hit Celestia in the chest. Celestia shocked still with fear.
“But now I understand the reason for complete discretion. Walking boldly into a club like mine. Don't worry Cutie, your secrets safe with me” She winked.
Celestia's blush had almost become her new fur colour at this point. She managed to stutter out a few things while her mind was back peddling.
“Um.. Your the..Um..Own- ner of this establish- lishment?” She forced the gears in her head to move. The amount of Moonshine she'd drunken tonight probably not helping.
“Establishment?” Cadance chuckled. “That's a fancy word for nightclub” She laughed. “But yes I own this 'Establishment' along with two others here in Canterlot” She smiled and took another sip of her drink.
“Two others?” Celestia choked.
“Yes. I own PlayStallions the gay club down Faremare street and PlayPonies the straight club down Pegasuslane, and of course this one. The other two are a lot tamer than this one though. I swear mares just can't keep there hooves off each other” She turned towards Celestia with that glint in her eyes.
“Gay club?” Celestia gazed around and truly began taking notice of the building décor. Mainly the four large polls in the corner of each room with mares grinding against them. She looked around at all the mares, most grinding up against each other on the dance floor. However some were getting a 'private dance' On the couches off to the side. Celestia quickly looked away. Forcing the gears in her head to come to a hastily assumption.
“This is a- Oh buck! How of all places could I have wandered into a- a-” She turned back towards the bar breathing deep. Cadance noticing her sudden distress.
“Hey! Hey! Sweetie it's okay! Look at me!” She took Celestia's muzzle in her hooves and turned her towards herself looking deep into her eyes. Celestia stared at the mare. Still breathing heavily.
“It's okay. It's okay. No ones gonna hurt you. Your safe. Don't tell me- Oh sweetie are you telling me you didn't know this was a gay club?” Cadance seemed sympathetic.
Words failing her Celestia simply nodded.
“Ah sweetie. It's okay. Don't worry.” She smiled and held Celestia's muzzle firm in her hooves.
The kind reassuring smile put Celestia at ease a little bit. She felt safe with the mare. Even in a place as deprave as this. She managed to get her breathing under control and she turned towards he still full glass of Moonshine and downed the entire glass. Choking as she did so.
“Whoa slow down sweetie. You don't wanna pass out.” Cadance patted her on her back.
“I'm sorry- I didn't mean to-” She stuttered.
“Don't worry it's okay.” Cadance smiled. “I don't exactly put out signs on the front telling ponies what my businesses are. Ponies especially round here don't exactly agree with them” She smiled meekly. Celestia just listened intently.
“I've had a lot of trouble in the past. Ponies just don't like my idea of fun, but business has always been good so I think the 'pony doth protest to much'” She smiled.
“I've always believed love should be shared though and though. So I opened my clubs so ponies could let go and have fun ya know?” She looked towards Celestia. Smiling shyly.
“I mean I've always been bisexual” Cadance gestured a hoof towards herself. Celestia's blush returning.
“And I just don't get how ponies can limit themselves. I mean if you like somepony then you like them. It doesn't matter if they're a mare or a stallion. You like them for them. Do you understand me?” She looked towards Celestia with a vulnerable look.
Celestia simply nodded. Had she truly a problem with same sex relationships she would have banished her sister long ago. She understood. All too well. It took her sister years to confess to her and she simply loved her even more because she did so. She had no problem against the idea. Hell she's tried it herself!. It was just she had spent so long without the touch of another pony that she felt alienated in this environment. She had spent so long trying to be the perfect role model for ponies that she had forced herself to control such desires. Almost forgetting them completely, but right here, right now? She might as well have entered her heat cycle with how much heat was travelling through her body.
Cadance smiled having that same glint in her eyes as before. Only this time is was sweeter, softer.
“Thanks” She laughed. She turned to the bar and downed the rest of her drink. Scrunching her muzzle in a cute way as she did so.
“Well it was nice having your company. I'm sure you just dying to leave so I’ll let you go. it was nice meeting you Moonlight.” Cadance waved as she began to get down and head off.
“No!” Celestia's mind screamed. Celestia's horn illuminated holding Cadance in her grip.
“Huh?” Cadance turned back towards her curiosity filling her eyes.
“I'm not- I mean- I don't mind- I.. I.. I mean I'm not used to this much depravity but I'm not- Against it.” She forced herself to say. Blush quickly taking over again.
“Depravity? You think my establishment is depraved” Cadance questioned. Cadance's ears fell and a hurt look adorned her face.
“Well....Um.. Yes... I mean no!.. Um..Not in a bad way!” Celestia stuttered.
Cadance's face changed as a knowing smile took over her face. That sparkle in her eye returned and it promised just as much debauchery as it did before.
Cadance hopped off her seat as she walked up to Celestia and whispered in her ear making it twitch.
“Well if your feeling overwhelmed why don't we head upstairs and I'll show you just how 'depraved' I can be.” She nipped Celestia's ear causing a shudder to run up her spine. Cadance looked back at her face with a mischievous grin. Celestia nodded.
“Okay” She gulped.
…......................................
“Buck! Buck! Buck!”Was the only word running through Celestia's mind right now. As she acceded the stairs to Cadance's 'Private room'. She could feel the mare rubbing herself into her fur as they walked, causing the grip on Celestia's tail to tighten.
“How am I going to get out of this! Just politely ask if I can leave? No that won't do, It'll just upset her. Teleport? No I'm far too drunk and that would just be rude. I know! I'll pretend I don't feel well which isn't exactly a lie.” Celestia huffed through her nose.
“So um.. Cadance-” Celestia began. However Cadance nipped her ear again causing a sharp intake of breath.
“Now, now, sweetie we'll have plenty of time to talk in my room” She purred. Celestia gulped about to speak up again but not before they reached a bright red door with pink breezie lights scattered across it. The words. 'Strawberry Velvet' printed boldly on the front.
“Strawberry Velvet?” Celestia asked.
“It's my stage name” Cadence stated.
“Stage name?” Celestia seemed confused.
“Oh sweetie you must have been locked up in that castle longer than I thought.” She threw a sympathetic look her way. “A stage name is a fake name that ponies use when they preform.” Cadance explained.
“A fake name?” Celestia was even more confused.
“Of course” Cadance giggled. “As I'm sure you noticed downstairs. I have a lot of mares dancing and grinding on poles. Gets the blood racing and heat rising ya know? Sometimes I like to preform here myself as a little treat for my guests. But sometimes ponies can get a little 'hoofsy' and they try to get my girls to go home with them. A fake name means that when they leave for the night they can go about their business without being pestered. It's quite common” She winked.
“Ah okay... um you preform? Like them?” She stuttered.
Cadance's smile turned sultry as she leaned into Celestia's ear and whispered. “I sure do and I wouldn't mind preforming a private dance for you” She licked the tip of her ear.
“Private! I- I mean that's quite alright you don't have to dance for me” Celestia's blush returned.
Cadance giggled as she pushed herself further into her ear.
“Oh sweetie I'll do more than just dance for you.” She purred. Celestia's entire muzzle and neck burned a right shade of red.
“Oh Luna have mercy” She thought.
Cadance leaned back and smiled softly. Kissing the bridge of Celestia's muzzle. “Your cute when your flustered” She turned her attention to the big red door her horn lighting up to unlock it. “I now present my private quarters. Welcome to casa day Cadance” She gestured as she opened the door.
Feeling her resistance fading, Celestia slowly stepped in and admired the room. The rooms walls were a bright pink, the floor a black and white zebra lined carpet. A giant mirror on the back wall covered with breezie lights. She noticed a bar in the back right, a small kitchen in the front right, a wardrobe in the front left and a queen sized bed in the back left. A coffee table and sofa was settled directly in the middle with a giant chandelier hanging above, she noticed a balcony off towards the right and what seemed to a room off to the left. A bathroom perhaps?
“So what do you think?” Cadance urged. As she locked the door behind her making Celestia tense.
“It's very... Unique” Celestia stated. “Do you um... Bring ponies here often?” She gulped.
“No. Your only the second pony I've brought up here.” Cadance answered honestly.
“But... The bed?” Celestia pointed towards it.
“I may enjoy ponies company quite often but this is my personal room so I don't like putting it on show” Cadance admitted.
“Personal room? You live here?” Celestia asked.
“Yes it's...... easier......” Cadance's ear fell. “Where I lived before, I wasn't exactly welcome....” She looked away. “Most ponies knew who I was and what I did... I couldn't stand their judging to I left”
“Where is your family?” Celestia asked.
“Gone........” Cadance turned towards Celestia, hurt deep in her eyes, however it went as quick as it came and her ears perked right back up. “But that's in the past so enough about me” She stepped closer towards Celestia, running her muzzle just under her chin breathing deep. “ Tonight’s about you” She pulled back and gleamed.
Celestia gulped. “Ah.. No that's quite alright-” She stated before a hood on her muzzle stopped her.
“Cute” Cadance smiled as Celestia's blush grew. “Your nervous, I'll make you a drink” She said as she wandered over towards the bar. “Take a seat on the couch and I’ll be right with you” She winked. Celestia shyly made her way towards the couch and sat down breathing deep. She closed her eyes trying to collect herself. The sound of glass moving in the back.
“There you go” Celestia jumped at the sound.
“It's a 406 distilled wine I got from Manehatten a couple of years ago.” She levitated it over to Celestia who took it. Staring at it surprised. She hadn't had one of these for quite sometime. Since Luna's banishment she found she hadn't enjoyed wine as much as she used to. She took a light sip.
“You wait right here. I'm just going to go freshen up.” She smiled softly. She walked over to the room on her right and shut the door leaving Celestia alone. She stared at her glass intently swishing the liquid around deep in thought.
“Okay. Okay. Now's your chance, run, teleport, fake ill. Anything!” Her mind said. She looked over towards the door. “But.. then again... How long has it been?” She sighed. “It had been many years, took long in fact since she felt the warm of another pony, and here there was a beautiful mare, practically throwing herself at her. How could she say no?” She breathed deep rubbing her temples the alcohol not helping.
“Okay okay.... Relax it's just one night... You.. you can do it this Tia” She whispered to herself.
The sound of a handle turning brought her attention back to the door. She opened her eyes and gasped. “Holy.... Discord....” She thought. Cadance stood there in a very racy black and grey lingerie smiling down at her. Eyes glazed over.
“See something you like?” She purred.
Celestia sat there mouth agape nearly dropping her wine glass but catching it just before she did and setting it down on the table.
“I take that as a yes?” She asked slowly walking over to Celestia.
Celestia could only nod dumbly. “This mares going to be the death of me!” Her mind screamed.
Leaning down towards Celestia’s ear breathe tingling “Good” she whispered. “Now how about I give you that dance” She purred.
Celestia just nodded eyes dilating.
Cadance chuckled and began dancing swaying her hips from side to side sexily. Flicking her tail revealing a moist marehood for a few moments. Celestia's breathing picked up as she caught the mares scent. Sweet. Her eyes turned nearly completely black with lust. After a few minutes. She leaned over towards her.
“Enjoying the show?” She smirked.
“Yes....” Celestia breathed.
“Good, but there’s far more interesting things I’d rather be doing...” She whispered Just before planting a soft kiss on Celestia's muzzle. Stars exploded behind Celestia's eyes as Cadance began to kiss her desperately, nipping her lip which caused Celestia to gasp. Opening an opportunity for Cadance to slip her tongue in. Celestia all but moaned as the hot wet appendage began tenderly searching every where that it could inside her mouth. Drunk with lust Celestia didn't notice that Cadance had begun unzipping her jacket.
“Wait!” Celestia screamed shoving Cadance away, but it was too late.
Opening the jacket it all but flew off as Celestia's wings violently popped out tensing and straining in arousal. Cadance stared mouth gaped in astonishment.
“Wow that...Um..Wings?” She asked.
“I...um.. I should- should go!” Celestia's horn lit up in an attempt to escape, but a hard kiss from Cadance caused the spell to fizzle out. Cadance pulled away. Smiling lustfully down at Celestia.
“You should have told me sooner” She purred. “Tonight just go a whole lot more interesting.” She smirked.
Confused. Celestia just stared up at her.
“Ya know I've been with a few Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies, but I’ve never been with an Alicorn before.” She leaned down again breath hot on Celestia's muzzle. “Please allow me the honnor of pleasing you your highness” She whispered. Celestia just nodded all self control lost at this point.
Cadance smiled, as she kissed Celestia again. Lost in the kiss Celestia didn't noticed Cadance's horn lighting up and began to moan as a vibrating feeling began to flutter through her wings. She broke the kiss to gasp as Cadance said.
“Nice huh? I learned this trick a while back. I know how sensitive wings can be, so I’ve perfected the art of pleasing them, you like?” She smirked.
“Yes!” Celestia screamed.
“Good but you'll like this even better” She leaned over to Celestia's right wing and began preening the feathers with her mouth. Nipping and pulling out the broken ones.
Celestia felt like she was on fire all of her senses heightened. Gasping she stared up at the ceiling as every pulled feather sent a little shock through her body. Arousal reaching nearly dangerous heights. After what seemed like an eternity she finished with the right wing and proceeded to move on the the left one. Panting and moaning Celestia wasn't sure how much more she could take.
Happy with her work Cadance leaned back smiling. Celestia staring at her gasping and panting. Eyes completely black.
“Glad to know I haven't lost my touch” She smiled leaning down towards Celestia's muzzle again.
“Your so beautiful Moonlight” She whispered. Celestia stared up at her. This beautiful, gorgeous pink angel, as the last of her will power broke. She shot up claiming Cadance's lips in a hungry kiss. Almost forcing her to fall back.
“Hmpth!” Cadance said surprised before she began moaning into the kiss. She felt more excited than she had done in a long time. Celestia determined to win the battle of dominance kissed her with all the force she could. Gasping Cadance broke the kiss eyes nearly as black as Celestia's.
“Do you want to take this to the bed?” She said out of breath.
Celestia nodded heavily. Cadance smiled and lit up her horn teleporting them just a few feet away onto the bed.
They reappeared on the bed, Celestia on top of Cadance. Celestia leaned down and began nipping at Cadance's neck earning a hum of approval. Her hoofs began to slowly glide over her body inspecting every detail. Wings hard and tense from Cadance's earlier treatment began voicing their approval as she lowered them, ghosting them across Cadance's fur. Cadance shivered at the light touch. She slowly lowered them until they came into contact with her teats. A light brush caused a sudden gasp to escape Cadance's mouth. She lowered them further and ran both pinions along her very wet marehood earning a shocked gasp from the mare.
Celestia looked deep into Cadance's eyes. Her mouth agape in silent moans gasping. She watched intently as she slowly pushed both pinions in, watching as Cadance release a high pitched moan.
“Sweet Celestia yes!” Her eyes clutching shut luckily as she didn't notice Celestia's twitch at her real name.
Celestia began pumping her wings in and out of Cadance at a fast pace. Watching as she gasped at each thrust.
“Oh sweet merciful....Faster!” She cried. Celestia sped up.
“Harder!” She screamed. Celestia slammed all the way in.
“Oh buck! I'm going to- going to-” Cadance screamed as a wave of ecstasy over took her, shuddering as she released herself all over celesta’s wings. Celestia slowed down and slowly removed her wings watching as Cadance tried to catch her breath. She opened her eyes as she stared at Celestia. A sudden growl erupted from her throat as she flipped them over and slammed Celestia back in the bed latching her mouth onto Celestia's neck. Celestia gasped.
“I've never used wings like that before.” Cadance growled. “Let me return the favour.” She raised her hind leg rubbing it straight into Celestia's marehood. before claiming her lips in a kiss. Celestia moaned into Cadance's mouth, shuddering with pleasure. Cadance broke the kiss as she slowly worked her way up towards Celestia's horn. She took a deliberately long, slow lick earning a deep moan from Celestia.
“I gotta say you've got quite the impressive horn. So long and stiff. Have you ever had it licked before?” She looked down as Celestia never slowing her legs movement. Celestia just gasped shaking her head.
“Oh sweetie.... Well your in for a nice surprise” She purred before drawing her attention back to the horn and began licking again. Celestia writhing below.
Slowly and delicately Cadance licked her horn, sparing no detail. Starting from the bottom and licking all the way up to the top, tongue dipping into the ridges on the way. Celestia gasped. She'd never done this before, anything like this and oh how did she regret it. She thought it couldn't get any better until she felt Cadance's lips wrap around her horns tip as she slowly took it into her mouth.
“Oh my! that-” Celestia screamed. Cadance's eyes glinted as she slowly sucked up and down the horn taking nearly the entire length. Her hind leg never slowing down.
Celestia's felt it. She gazed up to see her horn admitting a faint glow and knew that something was about to happen she tried to warn Cadance.
“Stop- Stop something- some thing’s coming-” She gasped out.
Cadance removed her mouth for a few seconds to say.
“Don't worry sweetie. You've got a lot of magical build up so I know what's coming, and I want you to give me it deep inside my mouth okay?” She winked before returning to her work. Sucking and rubbing faster.
“I- I-” Celestia began before she felt it. A large amount of magic suddenly burst from her horn straight into Cadance's mouth as pleasure ripped through her marehood and she came. She'd never felt anything like this.
Cadance had done this a few times, but she'd never met any unicorn so deprived before. The amount of magic that shot down her throat was overwhelming. As it ran through her body electrifying every nerve. She swallowed all of it before screaming as release overtook her soaking her hind legs. She collapsed on top of Celestia both panting heavily.
“Wow- that- oh sweet Celestia.” Cadance forced out. “I've never- Goddess your just full of surprises aren't you?” She smiled sweetly at Celestia who just kept gasping trying to recover. “Heh heh well it's not over yet. I promised you an amazing night and I intend to keep my promise” She stated as she began slowly making her way down Celestia's body, nipping and sucking on the way. Stopping to lick her teats earning a gasp, before continuing towards her soaked marehood.
“Well don't worry. I've only just started” She said before she look a long slow lick of Celestia's marehood earning choked moan.
“Hmm.. I love how wet you are” She said before returning to the task at hoof.
Celestia was in pure ecstasy. She'd slept with a few stallions and a couple mares but they hadn't even come close to what she was she was feeling right now. Cadance slowly licked her way up and down in fluid motions only to stop at the top to suck on the exposed nub. Earning a scream from Celestia.
“Oh-Oh... My.... That's...” Celestia tried to call out.
“That's right sweetie scream for me” Cadance said before forcing her tongue all the way in.
“Holy Tatarus!” Celestia screamed. She wasn't going to last at this point. In an impressive show of will power she illuminated her horn which was still tingling from Cadance's earlier treatment. She gripped Cadance's hind legs and brought them towards her muzzle diving head first into the sweet wetness.
“Oh sweetie... You sure know how to treat a mare!” She yelled before returning towards the marehood below her.
Celestia was down right delirious. Every lick from Cadance forced her to push her muzzle further into her marehood, surrounding her with sweetness so pure, she loved it. Cadance removed her muzzle long enough to ask.
“Moonlight please! Please put your horn in me!” She cried.
Celestia blinked a few times, but obliged. She was far to gone to care. Slowly she positioned her head at Cadance's entrance slowly pushing herself inside. Earning a scream.
“Yes!” Cadance screamed into the room before returning her attention to Celestia's marehood.
Celestia was gone. Mind body and soul. The feeling of the tight wetness wrapped around her horn in a vice like grip caused her eyes to role into the back of her head. She had never felt this kind of pleasure, and she wasn't sure how long she would last. Little sparks began shooting from the tip of her horn earning a gasp from Cadance each time they did so.
“Harder! Faster!” Cadance screamed.
With all the energy she could muster Celestia began thrusting in and out of Cadance as fast as her body would let her.
“Yes!” Cadance screamed
Celestia began to feel that familiar feeling in her horn but this time it was bigger, stronger. This was going to be enormous, messy and oh- so glorious.
“I think- I'm going to-” She gasped.
“Do it! Moonlight do it please!” Cadance begged. Completely reduced to a whimpering mess.
“I- Oh Sweet Luna!” Celestia's horn erupted as a giant wave of magic shot straight into Cadance.
“Holy!” Cadance screamed as she felt it. The magic shooting into her at an unstoppable pace. She felt as every single fibre in her body become ignited with electrical waves, but it didn't stop. It kept shooting into her causing a second, third release to rush through her body. Wetness spraying from her marehood into Celestia's mane. Cadance's eyes rolled into the back of her head before she collapsed from the overwhelming sensations. She fell forward horn slipping out of her before passing out on Celestia.
Celestia's hadn't fared much better. The amount of magic she had released draining her energy, head falling back onto the pillow she panted as sleep overcame her.
Celestia awoke, with the biggest migraine. Clutching her head groaning. She opened her eyes vision fuzzy. The first thing she noticed was that this wasn't her room as she stared at the ceiling. The second? The feeling of warm fur pressed next to her. She shot up, her eyes opened wide as she looked towards the source of the warmth mouth open in shock. The memories flooding back to her.
“Sweet Luna's mercy what have I done...” Her mind tried to process the current situation. Cadance shifted rolling over and Celestia's mind broke as she looked down at her body.
“Wings! How in sweet Tatarus she get-?” Celestia's mind screamed before a knocking interrupted her, causing her to panic.
“Yo boss? It's almost six were about to close.” The voice said.
Celestia panicked as she felt Cadance begin to stir.
“Yo boss. You in there?” The voice said a little louder as the handle began to jiggle as she attempted to open the door.
Cadance groaned. Celestia did the only thing that she could think of. Celestia's horn lit up and she teleported herself and Cadance out of the room just as the mare managed to get the door open.
“Huh maybe she's gone out?” The mare shrugged and closed the door behind her.
Reappearing in Celestia's destroyed room. Cadance was suddenly jerked awake landing on the bed.
“Huh what?” She stretched her legs making a cracking sound as she looked around the room dreamily. The sudden realization that she was not in her room dawned on her as she looked ahead to see Celestia standing in the centre of the room staring at the floor.
“Moonlight?” She asked before a sudden 'ruffling' brought her attention to the side of her body. She glanced down and gasped in shock as she noticed something, well, two things that seemed very out of place.
“Wings! How in the?!” She looked back towards Celestia. Shock on her face. “Moonlight what the buck is going on?!” She screamed.
Celestia slowly turned towards Cadance fear and regret apparent on her face. Tears filling her eyes.
“I'm so sorry” She chocked out.
“What do you mean?” She asked afraid.
Before Celestia could respond she screamed as suddenly her entire body felt like it was being ripped apart. Cadance watched in shock and fear as Celestia suddenly began growing. Almost four times her own size. She watched as her dark grey fur began to slowly turn white and her mane grew longer and changed colour, and suddenly started flowing through the air. Her Cutie mark turning into a full sun. After the transformation Cadance stared in shock.
“Princess Celestia!” She cried.
“Hello?” Celestia just smiled shyly. Celestia watched as Cadance fainted on the bed.
“Well that could have gone better” She sighed. As she proceed to the balcony to raise the sun.
“You know Celestia. When I said go out and meet some ponies. I didn't mean make one a princess and bring her home with you.” Starswirl smirked as he watched Celestia pace around the throne room.
“I didn't mean for this to happen!” Celestia snapped. “Please just tell me this is reversible!” She paced faster.
“As far as I know? No it's not.” He laughed.
“What is so funny about this situation!” She snapped. Hoping it would silence the wizard but it only made him smile more.
“I'm just so happy for you” He beamed.
“Happy! How can you be happy! What are my subjects going to think! What am I going to do! I've ruined that poor mares life” She barked.
“Ruined? Yes because no pony wants to become a princess and live in a castle. As far as I know she doesn't have any family. So what's to stop her from living here and joining you?” He tilted his head.
“Because! Because! This was an accident.! How am I going to explain to ponies that another princess just appeared!” Celestia seethed.
“Well you did a pretty good job of erasing Luna, I'm sure you'll figure something out.” His smile faded.
“Don't! Don't! You! Dare! Bring her into this!” Celestia stood tall in front of him. “This happened because I followed along with your idiotic idea! Why did I listen to you!” She turned away nostrils flaring in pure rage.
“What else would you have done! Spent the rest of your life locked away in that room wasting away and slowly drinking yourself to death! Luna wouldn't want that Celestia and you know it! Your parents wouldn't want that-” He was interrupted.
“Don't!..... Just Don't” Celestia collapsed on the tile floor. Tears filling her eyes.
Starswirl's angry face fell. He slowly walked over towards her shivering form.
“Celestia...” Starswril laid a hoof on her shoulder. She turned towards him a soft smile on his face.
“You've spent so long punishing yourself for what happened. Don't you think it's time to let go... Maybe this mare won't solve all of your problems, but maybe she can help. I won't be around forever, so it would be nice to know somepony's going to take care of you. Can you at least try? Don't you owe yourself that?” He held his smile.
Celestia turned away and released a deep sigh.
“I suppose your right.....” She accepted defeat.
“And who knows” He began to walk towards the door way. “Maybe she could bring back that passion I've only ever so rarely seen. She might surprise you” He exited the room leaving Celestia alone.
“Maybe.........” She sighed, she stood up and began heading towards her chambers.
Celestia entered her chambers and looked towards the sleeping mare on the bed. She looked around the room noticing it's state she sighed and began to clean up the damage. She heard a soft moan coming from the bed and halted in her task. She walked over to inspect Cadance's sleeping form. She looked surprisingly peaceful.
“Moonlight........” She whispered.
A small tear began to form in Celestia's eyes. Maybe Starswirl was right. Maybe Cadance would want this. Maybe everything would be alright. Her horn lit up as she moved a strand of hair away from Cadance's face. Celestia turned to look out towards her balcony, to see blue skies and the feel the suns warmth.
