>"Anon? You work here now?" 
"Huh? Nah. Joe had something to do so he asked me to cover for him for awhile," you explain.
>As if you had a choice, you didn't add.
>"I see. How's your work,then?" She asks. "And oh, two glazed donuts and a cup of coffee,please."
"Still toxic as fuck. I swear those aircraft parts are getting heavier and heavier each day," you grouse as you fish out two donuts at the display for Luna. 
>You place the pastries in a wax paper sleeve and pour some coffee in a cup while Luna takes out her wallet.
"No worries. Donuts and coffee are on the house, courtesy of 'ol Joe," you beam.
>"Really?"
"Well...not really. I just passed by to use the restroom and bam- by the time I returned, Joe left a note that he needs to meet a lady or something. I suppose giving out free donuts ought to even the score," you laugh hard.
>"You might get into trouble if he finds out,Anon," she warns.
You snort and chuckle at her comment. "What's Joe gonna do,fire me? He owes me a lot of favors anyhow."
"And besides, I only give free donuts to pretty ladies," you add with a wink.


>Luna just rolls her eyes and gives you a sideways look. "Always the wooer. How many girls have fallen for your sweet words,Anon?"
You laugh as you handle another customer. "I know that didn't work on you and the fish ain't biting yet, unfortunately. How about you, still sweeping men off their feet?"
>"I know I've swept you off your feet," Luna giggles as she sees you jerk on that,
>"Unsure about the others,though," she says sadly.
"Maybe you're just looking at the wrong place," you assure her. "Anyways, it's been pretty slow today so..mind if I eat breakfast with you?"
>"Sure. I've been meaning to talk to you , Mister Busy Pants," she adds with a wink.


>". . ."
>"Really,Anon?" Luna asks as she looks at your breakfast. You had a sausage patty,eggs and bacon sandwiched between two waffles.
"I need a big breakfast to get my gears going," you explain. "And I see that your breakfast isn't exactly healthy too, Vice-Principal Luna," you retort.
>She just gives you a raised eyebrow and sticks out her tongue. "I need a sugar rush to get my gears going."
"Yeah riiiight," you smile coyly. "So,what's eating you,Luna?"
>"Hm?" She says as she sips her coffee.
You cross your arms as you look at her intently. "C'mon Luna, we've know each other for what, seven years? You're not exactly what I'd call as a fan of sweets. As far as I remember, you only eat sweets when you're sad or stressed."
"So...is it about work? Lovelife?"
>She just sighs and stuffs her face with a glazed donut. "A relative is coming over to stay this coming weekend."
"So? What about it?"
>"Let's just say that we don't really..click," she says slowly. 
You furrow your eyebrows as you try to remember the name. "Wait, is it that Blood-guy thingie? I think you told me his name awhile back. He's your nephew,right?"
>"You mean Blueblood? I know it sounds childish..even Celly told me to be mature about it but," she grits her teeth as she repeatedly stabs her poor pastry with a spoon. "He's so thick and self centered that he's so unreal."

"He's that bad eh? I'm sure you can bear with him for the weekend," you give her an assuring smile.
>"I can't stand to be in the same room with him even for five minutes. Celly loves him to death but I can't say the same with me," she says with a defeated tone.
"Can't blame you with that,sister," you agree with her. "Awkward and irritating relatives,yep."
"So, you gonna stay over a hotel for the weekend or something?" You ask while wolfing down your sandwich.
>She rubs her temples tiredly and gives you a smile. "I can't afford to stay at the Canterlot Lofts even for a night. And the nearest cheap motel is ten miles away."
"Stay with a friend,then?" You ask.
>"If I can find one willing to bunk with me for the weekend,that is. If not, I'd just sleep in my car"
>Nope. That wouldn't do.
"I-ah...you can stay with me for the weekend if you like," you say nervously.
>"I don't think that would be proper if we'd sleep in the same room together," she objects. "I mean, its not like we're in some sort of...relationship."
>She clears her throat and toys with her hair a bit as you look down at your coffee mug.
"N-not in the same room with me,of course. I have a spare room if you like."
>She mulls over it a bit then finally speaks. "I promise not to be much of a burden."
"Naw no worries," you assure her. "So, pick you up on Friday say, 4pm?"
>She smiles at you warmly. "Okay."
----------

"Good afternoon, Principal Celestia," you say as you give her a big smile. "Is Luna home already?"
>"Anon,is that you? Gimme five minutes to be ready!" Luna shouts out somewhere inside the house.
>"Good afternnon to you too,Anon," She steps aside and motions you in. "Please do come in."
>You walk inside and plop at the sofa. Celestia then takes a seat in front of you.
>". . ."
". . ."
>"So, what keeps you busy these days? It's been awhile since we last talked," she starts to say.
You shrug and lean back. "All work and no play for me. Pay's good but work hours are ungodly as hell. How about you?"
>"Same old, same old. Both pay and work hours are ungodly," she laughs quietly.
>You laugh with her a bit and revert back to that awkward silence. Celestia just looks at you inquisitively as if trying to read your mind.
>Finally, she gives you a warm smile and leans forward. "I apologize if I'm making you a bit uncomfortable.."
"Oh! Not at all, principal!" You object. "It's just that...you know..I'm not much of a socialite and all."
>She nods emphatically and winks at you. "I know how you feel,Anon. Anyways, thanks for helping out Luna on this problem of hers," Celestia raises an eyebrow and puts special emphasis on the word 'problem'.
You twiddle your thumbs nervously and flash her a smile. "I'm sure she'll come around next time he passes by."
>"I can understand how my sister feels. Blueblood can be quite a handful sometimes," she assures you.

>"All set!" Luna walks in while awkwardly hefting a large sports bag.
>Celestia eyes her bag and raises an eyebrow at her. You just smile at Luna.
>"I never knew you were going to stay with Anon for a year,sister," Celly says jokingly.
>Luna was about to object but Celly tells her that she's just pulling her leg.
>Celly giggles a bit and decides to toy with her sister. "Anyways, you two lovebirds should be going now."
"Here, lemme help you with that," you sheepishly say as you take the bag from Luna.
>"Please don't mind my sister.." Luna says apologetically while trying to hide her now reddening cheeks.
"I dunno Luna," you muse while giving Celly a wink. "I kinda like that idea."
>Luna looks up on you with wide eyes then just furrows her eyebrows. She does look mighty cute when she's all blushing.
You just wriggle your eyebrows and give out a chuckle. "Shall we go, Vice-Principal Luna?"
>She just nods meekly and looks at her sister. "I'd be back on Monday afternoon."
>Celestia just nods and smiles at you. "You two have fun, okay?"
"I'll take care of her, don't worry," you assure her.
>You open the door for Luna and walk back towards the boot to put Luna's bag in. You see Celestia standing by the doorway and yoy give her a wave before getting inside your car.
>"Don't patronize my sister too much, Anon." Luna says while toying with her hair.
You just look at her sideways and chuckle. "Put your seatbelt on first, missy."



"Welcome to my humble abode. Come on in," you say while holding the door for her. 
>Luna looks around a bit and looks visibly pleased. "Looks like someone does his housework religiously."
"Aw c'mon Luna..what do you take me for, someone that waddles and sleeps in heaps of pizza boxes?"
>She just lightly jabs you in the arm. "It was meant to be a compliment."
"Anyways, living room. Kitchen. Bathroom. Your room." You say as you point them out for her.
>"I know where everything is,Anon. I've been here countless of times already," she laughs slighly.
>She then furrows her eyebrows and looks at you. "Come to think of it,I just remembered that you don't have a spare room."
"I do." You just plop at the sofa and give it a rub. "This."
>She crosses her arms and gives you a stern look.
You smile at her sweetly. "I might have lied about that a bit."
>"Anon.."
"Aw c'mon Luna, I can't let you sleep in your car. And besides, I'm more used to sleeping in the sofa rather than in my room. You know that,right?" You explain.
>"No," she says evenly. "I'll sleep in the sofa."
"Sorry. Already got first dibs on it," you grin at her.
>She just pouts at you. "I do really appreciate everything, Anon."
"Don't thank me yet. You do half the chores,okay?"
>"Sounds like a good deal. Now," she saunters towards the kitchen and opens the cupboards. "How about I cook tonight's dinner?"
>You just watch her with mute interest as she tries to rummage for ingredients you know wouldn't be there.
>Luna gives up and gives you sly smile. "For reals? How long has it been since you last cooked your own food?"
"I dunno...since coming back from Manehatten so..a few years back?" 
>"I take it back about you being good at housework," She pouts.
"Well hey now! I'm good at everything except cooking," you object. "And besides, I was planning more of..you know, order a take out or something tonight. You fancy some pizza?"
>"Mhm. Pizza sounds lovely." She says as she takes a seat in front of you.
"Wait. I think I still got one of those discount coupons somewhere," you excuse yourself to rummage for the discount cards.
>It takes awhile before you find one and ring up the local pizza place. You find Luna scanning the photos you have by the bookshelf. 
>Luna smiles as she sees a photo of you together. She adjusts it slightly and looks at the frame beside it.
>She takes the photo and shows it to you. It's a photo of you and your recently deceased pet.
>"I can still remember when she was just tiny little puppy," she says sadly. 
"I do miss the little bastard," you murmur while taking the photo from her. You return the photo on the bookshelf and rub it slightly.
>Luna looks at you thoughtfully. She holds your hand and gives it an assuring squeeze.
>"I'm sure she's in a better place," Luna offers. 
You just nod at her and give out a weak smile. 
>She then plops in her seat while you slink and lie on the sofa.
You want to strike up a conversation with her but she really looks interested on that italian cooking show. Darnit.

"Am I boring you?"
>Luna turns at you and smiles. "I think I'm the one boring you, Anon. How about a game?" 
You open one eye slightly. "A game?"
>"Yep! Like a pop quiz!" She proclaims excitedly. "Loser pays the pizza. Deal?"
You sit up and smile at her tiredly. "Deal. The one with the most mistakes by the time the pizza guy arrives loses."
>"Okay. Now," she looks at the ceiling. "Uh...how did we meet?"
You just roll your eyes and laugh. "C'mon Luna. No feels trip for today."
>"So one mistake for you?" 
"City Park. You found Shelby," you trail.
>Luna narrows her eyes and gives you a sly smile. "And? Be specific!"
You just huff good naturedly and narrate it as dull as possible. "I lost Shelby because my friends and I had this stupid idea about setting her loose on the park so some chick would pick her up."
>"...And?"
"I did really lose her and almost flipped my shit worried. And you found her. Thanks about that again."
>She claps quietly and laughs. "Fine. Your turn."
"Huh. My favorite food?"
>"I remember asking you multiple times over the years and you give me different answers," she objects.
You stick out your tongue. "Guess."
>"...Pizza?" She asks hopefully.
"Which flavor?" 
>"Pepperoni?"
"Chalk one mistake for you," you chuckle and Luna just puffs her cheeks.
>"Phoey! Okay. MY favorite food?" She asks smugly.
You know the answer but you try to play dumb at first. "I'm not so sure. Is it by chance lasagna? The green kind?"
>Luna looks both surprised and impressed. "It's green bean lasagna, Anon. Your memory's quite very strong."
You feel your cheeks warm up but you just look down to hide it. "Well, I tried to make some up back then. Didn't end quite well."
>"Is that so?". The doorbell gets both your attention. 
"What was it again? Loser pays for the...pizza?"
>She gets up and lightly punches you on the cheek. "Fine. I'll get it."


>"Evening An-oh..Evenin' ma'am," the pizza guy apologises. "Uh..one pepperoni pizza for Anon?"
>Luna takes it and pays. "May I ask you something?"
>The pizza guy shuffles nervously. "Sure thing ma'am."
>"How long have you known Anon?"
>He shrugs and scratches his head. "More than a year I suppose. Usually pepperoni pizza every friday or something."
>"Is that so?" She says as she gives him a tip. "Thanks."



>She plops the pizza box at the coffee table and crosses her arms. "So?"
"So.....?"
>"The delivery guy has betrayed you. Pepperoni isn't your favorite, you say?" She asks flatly.
To try to stifle a laugh and give her a shrug. "It kinda depends on my mood,you know."
>Luna slides the box away from you when you were about to grab a slice. "You owe me one."
"Well hey, you volunteered to cook for dinner so..quits?" You offer with a charming smile. "And I got some soda. Sounds good?"
>She smiles at you warmly and nods. "But you only get two slices, okay?"
>You get up and head towards the fridge to grab some sodas. You notice that Luna changed seats by the time you get back.
>"Pizza's getting cold,Anon."
"Here," you say as you hand her a can and take a seat beside her. 



You cock you head sideways and give Luna a confused look. "Do I have something in my face?"
>Luna looks up at you and tries to stifle a laugh. "You just look funny when you stuff your face with pizza."
"I think what you meant was 'cute'."
>She nods slightly and shifts so she's facing you. "Maybe.."
"Looks like someone is getting soft on me."
>She kicks you lightly on the thigh. "Not really."
". . ."
>". . ."
"Up for another game?" You ask her.
>"Sorry," she says in between munching. "I don't play with big fat cheaters."
"C'mon Lunie," you smile. "Winner gets a first class breakfast."
>"Since when did you come up with pet names?" She asks as she kicks you lightly again. "At least give me a more proper one."
"What's wrong about it?" You ask defensively.  "Sounds cute anyways."
>"It sounds as if I'm kooky or something," she objects. "Try again."
"I'll....get back at you on that one," you offer her. "Do I get one too?"
>"Cheaters don't get one," She giggles. "I can make an exception for you but only if you give me a new one."
"Deal." You lift up your can and give her a smile. "And since you paid for the pizza, I'd make you a fine breakfast tomorrow. Sounds good?"
>"Okay I forgive you," she says as she slides the pizza box towards you. "You can have another slice."
"Wahey! Now we're talkin'!" you grin at her while pawing another piece.

". . ."
>"?"
"At least talk or something,you know," you mutter. "It's kinda weird with you all staring at me while I'm eating."
>Luna snaps out of her trance and blushes heavily. "Sorry.."
"Well, you told me last time that you've been meaning to talk to me so...fire away."
>"Oh..w-well," she fumbles.
"Let's make this easier a bit," you offer. "Pretend that it's the first time we meet."
>Luna raises an eyebrow and extends her hand. "I am Luna."
"I'm Anon. Nice to meet ya,Luna," you say as you shake her hand.
>"Anon this is ridiculous.. "


"Don't break character," You look sternly at her. "So..still working?"
>She looks at you slyly. "I work at the local high school as a vice principal. How about you?"
"Well, I work as an aircraft mechanic for an international airline and I got posted here in Canterlot a few years ago," you explain.
>"You work in the airlines? You get lots of chances to travel,then?" She does look interested now.
You shake your head no. "Not really. I get a free ticket every year but meh. Not really inclined about travel very much."
>Luna shuffles closer to you. "How so? You need to unwind every now and then,you know."
"I dunno. I mean, I'm perfectly content with just lazing about and watch a movie or two on my day off."
>"Not much of a socialite,are you?" She concludes. 
"Sort off...I can do okay in parties and stuff but I'm not that kind of 'rowdy and party hardy' kind of person," you admit. "And besides, a few friends outweigh hundreds of acquaintances, right?"
>"You do have a point,Anon."

"What about you? Anything that keeps you busy aside from work? Like a hobby or something?"
>She takes a pillow and hugs it a bit. "I tried gardening one time but I didn't turn out quite well. But I do cook during my free time."
"Really? Then you should be the one cooking tomorrow morning,then!" You exclaim excitedly.
>Luna just furrows her eyebrows and puffs her cheeks. "Don't break character!"
"Fine jeez..."
>She claps her hand cheerfully. "How about you, any hobbies?"
"Uh..aside from eating?"
>"That's not a hobby,Anon," she chides.
"Er..I do target shooting sometimes," you say and Luna makes a crinkly face on that. "I tried my hand on learning the ukelele too but yeah...clumsy fingers and all."

>"Really? I'm sure you'd play really well," she assures you. "I'd love to hear you play sometime."
"Nah. All I got is some cheap tourist gift I got from Hawaii a few years ago," you say apologetically. "I'll try to reacquaint myself again."
>"It would be so romantic if someone would serenade me~," she coos dreamily.
You chuckle at her and finish your soda. "We'll see.."
>"So...any love interests?"
You look at Luna and you just laugh nervously at her. "I-ah..I haven't got one right now."
>Luna tilts her head sideways. "Why not? You're fairly handsome and charming yourself anyways."
Your eyes grow wide and you can feel your ears get hot. "Really? Thanks..I mean, I do have a crush on someone..."
>She leans closer at you. "Go on.."
"She's smart..thoughtful..funny and a bit of a klutz," you say as you twiddle with your thumbs. 
"One hell of a pretty bombshell too," you murmur.  "What about you?"
>She leans back and you can see that she's trying to supress a smile. "I'm married to my work but I have a crush on someone too."
You look at her expectantly. "Really?"
>"He's cute..charming..a bit of a hopeless romantic..he knows how to make me laugh," she narrates. "He's patient and never gave up on me."
>"But.."
"But?"


>She squirms and sits up them bops you in the nose. "He's too young for me."
>"And don't he give me that 'age is just a number' excuse!" She cuts you off before you could say the same thing.
>"So,this..girl you like," she asks with a glimmer in her eye. "How much do you like her?"
"I'd....I'd walk the streets of Canterlot wearing nothing but socks and a placard saying how much I like her."
>Luna punches you in the arm and giggles. "Very scandalous. What time of the day?"
"In the middle of lunchbreak where everyone can see," you laugh with her. "How about you, Vice-Principal Luna, how much do you like this...'guy'?"
>"Let's see..I'd eat days old pizza for him."
"Boooo! That's not even hard to do!"
>Luna just pouts at you. "I like him so much that I might even reconsider the whole 'age is just a number' thing."
"Really?"
>"Really."
"....so"
>"so?"
"Is this some sort of 'yes'?" You ask her expectantly.
>Luna just rolls her eyes and throws the pillow at you. "It's not you,silly!"
You feel as if Luna just slapped you. "Wha-?"
>Luna giggles and pinches your nose. "Of course it's you,you dummy!"




"Oh..OH." You stutter while rubbing your arm. "I...ah.."
>"Aha! Someone is going soft on me," she remarks. "Whatever happened to 'charming and smooth'?"
"Well," you laugh nervously. "I was hoping you'd say yes but damn.."
>She just giggles and looks at you thoughtfully. "Looks like I've swept someone off his feet."
You look at her dreamily and give her a warm smile. "You do have a way with words."
"So...where do we go from here?" You ask her.
>Luna just laughs at you and retrieves another pillow to throw at you. "We'll see."
>"Also, you still have to cook me up that first class breakfast tomorrow," she reminds you as she stands up. 
"Way to kill the moment,Lunie," you say as you try to get ahold of her hand as she goes around the sofa towards her room.
>She just sticks her tongue out and points a finger at you. "Breakfast tomorrow. And a new pet name,okay?"
You give her a salute and a grin. "Yes ma'am!"
>"Goodnight, Anon."
"Goodnight, Luna. I-ah...you know the rest!"
>She just laughs quietly and looks at you thoughtfully. "Finish that up next time,will you? Goodnight."


>Shit
>Shitshitshitshitshitshit
>That really did sweep you off your feet. You slump back at the sofa and take a few deep breaths. 
>Still riding the coattails of euphoria, you reminisce of the time she first agreed to try if a relationship would work out.
>With her being worried with the very noticeable age gap and being a bit busy with her work, nothing substantial came up.
>Thank God it didn't turn out awkward. The two of you instead develop a very cordial friendship.
>Years pass by and little by little, she opens up to you. Emotions have matured and lots of common interests were found. 
>It was quite funny that you eventually reached the level of understanding with her that words sometimes wasn't even needed--a simple eye contact was sufficient to get a message across.
>Then last year, your company decided you send you overseas to assist on the training of new mechanics.
>Luna was deeply saddened when you broke her the news. You assured her this was temporary and you'll return as soon as possible.
>She reluctantly agrees but makes you promise that you'd call her every now and then and on your return, the two of you would try again and hopefully, end up as more than friends.
>And then just last month, your contract was up and your company had you come back to Canterlot. 
>Of course the first person you told the news to was to Luna, and she was very much happy about it.
>Oh how painful it was as the days till your return dragged on.
>Your first meeting with her was without any drama. A hug was given, a few laughs were shared.
>You thought she might have forgotten about the promise she made you. A bit sad,yes, but seeing her after such a long time made you unable to feel bad about it.
>Fortunately, it doesn't take long before Luna stops holding back her emotions and the two of you tried to be with each other's company as many times as possible.
>And now, you're here.

>You snap out of your daydream and smile as you realize how far the two of you have gone.
"Now, what to do," you mutter. "What to do."
>The thought of what just happened a few moments ago still makes you blush.
>The things you'd do just to make her happy...
>An idea suddenly hits you. You stand up and open one of the cabinets under your bookshelf.
"There you are,little buddy," you murmur while taking out your little ukelele and that instruction book.
>You sit down at the sofa again and prop the book with the pizza box. You give the instrument a few test strums and breathe out.


-----------
"Luna?" You say as you softly knock on her door. "Are you awake already?"
>"Come in."
You open the door to see her still sprawled on the bed, hugging a pillow. 
"Wakey wakey..I made you breakfast~," you offer her. 
>Luna opens one eye and smiles at you tiredly. "Breakfast in bed?"
"Sorry, no room service for today."
>She just pouts and motions for you to come closer. "You're no fun. Carry me to the kitchen then."
>You just roll your eyes and huff good naturedly. You were about to carry her when she pulls you in for a long hug.
"I could get used to this," you mutter dreamily. "Don't I get a good morning kiss too?" You ask hopefully.
>Luna sits upright and mulls it over. "My breath still stinks. We'll see after breakfast."



"Pancakes or waffles?" You ask her while sliding a plate of scambled eggs and sausages at the table.
>"Pancakes please."
"Right-o. One batch of fluffy pancakes, comin' right up!"
>You put some butter in the pan then pour a dollop of batter into it after it heats up nice.
You lean at the countertop while whistling a merry tune when you notice Luna looking at you funny. "What?"
>"World's best cook?" She reads the print on your apron. "Really?"
"I'm still working on it!" You say in a matter of fact voice.
>Luna just laughs at that and you point your attention back at the pancakes. 
"Heeeey..looks like someone is getting pretty touchy-feely today," you remark as she hugs you from behind.
>"As if you don't like it," she whispers at your ear while she sways you a bit. "Only for today,alright?"
"Pancake's done! C'mon Luna, let's get you fed," you chuckle while walking awkwardly with her still hugging you from behind.


"How is it?"
>"Best cook in the world in my book," Luna offers you a piece of pancake. "A+ for the effort."
You eat the pancake and look at her sideways. "Really?"
>She nods eagerly and crosses her legs to yours. "Really really."
>"Any plans for today?" She asks as she finishes her meal.
"Grocery run for today," you mention while clearing the dishes away. "I'd be back soon."
>"Mind if I come along?" She offers as she insists that she does the dishes. "I need to buy some things too."
"Well yeah,sure. Already taken a bath so I do the dishes," you say as you push her outside of the kitchen. "Don't take too long."
>Luna turns around the gives you a quick peck in the lips. "Okay,dad."



-----------
"All set?" You ask her while grabbing the house and car keys.
>She flashes you a dazzling smile and nods. "Ready to go."
You give her a smile of your own and cross an arm to hers. "You look like we're gonna go on a date or something."
>"Well, this is a date of some sorts if you look at it that way..."
"Whoopee...our first date was a grocery run," you muse while holding the car door open for her.
>"You like poking fun of me,do you?" She punches you in the arm before getting in.
"Not really," you assure her. "I just love seeing you smile."
>She pouts on that and tries to look angry. "Today is a 'No Cheesy Day' so that won't work on me!"

"Ready for our date?"
>"You bet. Want to have romantic stroll towards the vegetable aisle?"
You make a crinkled face. "I don't want to eat my brocolli."
>She scoffs at your remark and looks at you. "That reminds me, you ought to eat better,Anon."
"Okay,fine. I'll have extra veggies on our next pizza," you say as you put a bottle of chocolate milk on the cart.
>And then Luna removes it and replaces it with some hideous looking soya drink stuff instead.
>You give her a pleasant smile then grab a small bottle of soda.
"C'mon Luna," you mutter while she removes the bottle. "There's a reason why I put stuff on the cart."
>"Less junk food and more wholesome meals,please," she says while giving you a sweet smile.
"Fine. Can I get at least a bag of chips?" You ask her. 
>"Okay."
You point at a medium sized one and look at her. "This okay?"
>She looks at you momentarily then reads the label on one granola snack box. "Mhm."
You try to push your luck and grab a bigger pack. You were about to chuck it at the cart but Luna sees it and raises an eyebrow.
"I'll share it with you," you say defensively. "Honest!"
>She huffs a bit then takes the chip bag from you and places it on the cart. "Just one,okay?"
"Gee, thanks mom," you say as you roll your eyes. 
>"What's with the attachment with these horrible junk foods anyways?" She asks.
You give her a shrug and a laugh. "They're cheap and filling plus I don't have to cook 'em. More rest time for me."

>"Are you done with your shopping?"
>You glumly look at the cart. A bag of chips and a pack of soda crackers is all you can discern. Everything else is some sort of organic wholesome bullshit crap.
"I'm gonna die due to starvation," you mutter.
>Luna looks at you worriedly and gives your hand a reassuring squeeze. "All I'm saying is, it might be a good idea if you'd be more conscious on what you eat."
You just nod slowly and sigh. "I suppose I need to be healthy if I'd wanna see our future grandchildren grow up,huh?"
>Luna's eyes go wide for a moment and her cheeks are starting to get red. You can almost see that she's really trying her best not to smile.
>"Anon.." she murmurs while she hugs your arm. "Isn't it too early for that?"
"Well, we never know," you assure her. "But I'd be more than happy to grow old with the one I love," you add with a wink.
>"And who would that be?" She inquires.
"I'm pretty sure you know her already," you say with a kiss. "Now if she just let me grab another pack of chips then I'd be more than happy!"
>"Nice try Anon, but your sweet talk would lead you nowhere."
"Boooo! You're no fun, Lunie," You muse.

>"Well, I didn't expect to see the two of you here," someone behind you says.
>You and Luna turn around to see a giggling Principal Celestia.
"G-good morning, Principal Celestia," You manage to stutter out. "Fancy seeing you here."
>"Good morning to you too, Anon. And how is my sister?" She inquires.
>Luna just toys with her hair and mumbles a good morning.
>"Doing groceries together now, are we?" Celestia laughs. "You two really look like a couple!"
"Well..."
>Luna's now looking flustered as ever
>Principal Celestia raises an eyebrow and looks at you for an explanation. "Well?"
"I-ah..Luna and I are now dating. Again. So...yeah," You explain.
>Celestia's eyes go wide for a second then breaks into a wide smile. She moves closer to Luna and gives her a big hug.
>"I'm very happy for you, little sister!" She beams excitedly. "Do I hear wedding bells soon?"
>Luna's eyes go wide and her mouth just flaps open. She wants to say something but nothing really comes out.
"Hopefully so," You interject while giving Luna's hand a squeeze. She snaps out of her trance and squeezes your hand back.
>Celestia notices the contents of your cart and grimaces a bit. You catch her looking at you and you just give her a sad nod.
>She then hides her cart behind her but you've already seen that most of it's contents are junk food. Looks like you weren't the only one that got a mouthful about bad eating habits from Luna.
>Celestia giggles some more and gives Luna's face a pinch. "I won't bother you two lovebirds anymore. Take care of my sister, okay?"
"Of course, Principal Celestia," You assure her.
>She gives you a wink and a smile. "Just call me Celly, Anon. And besides, you're family now."
>". . ."
>You look at Luna as Celestia goes about her shopping list.
You wiggle your eyebrows and share a laugh with Luna. "Looks like I now have the royal blessing,eh?"

>After paying for everything and Luna insisting that you two play that pachinko game in which she wins a small cat keychain, the two of you head outside.
>Luna happily skips beside you as she proudly shows you her prize, leaving you to carry all the grocery. Figures.
>"Anon?"
"Yeah?" You ask while hefting the bags on one hand as you open the trunk.
>"Well, mind if I drive this time?" Luna asks expectantly.
"You sure you can handle her? I mean yours is really small compared to mine." You mentally cringe as you hesitate on giving her the keys.
>She raises an eyebrow and laughs a bit. "Making excuses are we? Don't tell me that you don't trust me," she adds with a pout.
>"Now, the keys if you may?"
You just sigh and give her the keys. "C'mon Luna. How can I say no when you're already on the driver's seat?"
She flashes you a smile in triumph and bends for a kiss. "And yes, I do trust you."

>"Hey Anon, mind if I pick up some things at my house?" Luna asks as she makes a turn.
"Sure thing," You say as you grip your seatbelt. Luna still needs to work on her distancing. She barely stops in time; almost hitting the car in front of you.
>It takes a few more minutes before her house comes into view. She did have problems parallel parking since the slot available was too tight for comfort.
>"Well?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.
You just shrug and offer a smile. "Not bad, I guess."
>She then bops you in the nose. "That's what you get for not believing me."

>Luna retrieves a spare key from a pot then looks at you. "You coming in or not?"
You stammer a bit and hesitate. "I-ah..is your sister home already?"
>She laughs and walks back to you then grabs you by the arm. "What gives?"
"Nothing," you mutter.
>She looks seductively at you and gives you a sultry giggle. "She's not home yet, Anon."

>Whoa whoa whoa where did THAT come from?
>Luna sees your eyes go wide and laughs hard. You furrow your eyebrows at her while trying to stifle a smile.
"Stop being a cocktease."
>She sticks out a tongue and laughs some more. "Stop being too serious, then."
"Whatever."
>"I didn't know my boyfriend was a conservative old man," She jeers.
You pinch her on the waist playfully as the two of you go up the stairs. "Would you like to do it on Principal Celestia's bed, then?"
>That makes her miss the top step and she looks at you wide eyed. 
>She covers her mouth with a hand to stifle a laugh and lightly slaps your arm. "I take it back. My boyfriend is an old man- a PERVERT one too!"
>Finally she composes herself and leads you to her room. All the while pinching you playfully or hugging you, of course.
>"There you go," Luna says as she pushes you to her bed. "Stay."
"Yes ma'am," You give her a salute as the goes to another room. 
>As Luna gets herself busy rummaging for whatever it is, you take the chance to study her room in detail
>It's decorated tastefully with the motif graduating hues of blue.Lots of framed photographs adorn the walls of the rom.
>Well, the knick knacks like dolls and such plus that huge dollhouse on the side makes the room look as if a teenager lives there
>Luna enters the room holding a box and takes notice at you
You give her a wide grin and jab at the dollhouse. "Never knew my girlfriend was a thirteen year old."
>"Ha-ha," Luna replies on a deadpan tone as she sets the box on a nearby table then pouts at you. "I'm a big girl already!"
>I like where this is going
>You then roll up your shirt, showing your stomach then tries to pose seductively at the bed
"Well," You whisper as you dance your eyebrows up and down. "Are you a naughty one too?"

>She saunters towards the side of the bed and delicately sits beside you
>Wait, she isn't really serious, isn't she?
>She gives out a nervous laugh and squeezes your hand a bit
>"Anon?"
"Yessss?"
>She was about to say something when she closes her eyes and abruptly turns away from you. You can then hear her mumble to herself.
>After a few more seconds, she seems to have settled down. "Okay...OKAY."
>She takes a deep breath then turns to look at you. "Anon?"
You chuckle nervously as you notice how serious she looks. "Yes?"
>She sighs slowly and looks at you intently. "Promise me you won't laugh."
You raise your right hand a bit. "I wont. I promise."
>Luna stammers a bit and talks in an almost whisper. "You know when it comes to 'the stuff'.."
You furrow your eyebrows in confusion then you realize what she means. "Okay...?"
>"I..you know?" Luna give up and finally says it outright. "I'm a virgin."

"Lunie," you say as you hold her hand. "It's okay if you're not ready yet," you assure her.
>"No! I mean, I want to do it with you. I really do." She's definitely red as a tomato now. "It's just that.."
"You're afraid?"
>"A little bit," Luna admits.
"C'mon Luna," you chuckle. "We're not on a strict timetable, are we?"
>Luna shakes her head no and positions herself on top of you. Her breathing is now noticeably ragged.
>She looks at you expectantly. Well, she did say she had no prior experience on this.
>You go ahead and start caressing her arms ever so slowly. She loosens a bit as she elicits a deep sigh.
>By now you had your fingers on her collar, tracing down and stopping at the topmost button of her blouse
>One by one you unbutton them, her eyes never leaving yours. She scoots closer and rubs the tip of your nose with hers,with you breathing in deeply her scent.
....
>"Luna?" Someone below shouts. "Is that you?"
"Oh for fuck's sake YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME," you blurt out in frustration.
>It seems that Luna has broken away from her trance as well. She gets up and avoids your gaze and laughs nervously.
>"Wait here," Luna mutters as she goes to the door. The sisters enter the room after a few minutes of talking at the corridor.
>Good thing you've made yourself presentable and sat at the edge of the bed, careful to check your hair at the mirror beforehand.
>Celestia raises an eyebrow and shifts her attention from Luna to you. "I hope I didn't interfere at anything important. Did I?"
You feign indifference and you can also see Luna shake her head no even if Celly can't see her. "Nope, none at all. We just passed by since Luna wanted to get some stuff," you say coolly.
>Yes you did walked in on us, Principal Cockblock
>Luna then takes the box and hefts it up for Celly to see. "I got all the things I need so we'd be going. Anon?"
"See ya, Principal Celestia." You say as you avoid eye contact with her.
>"See you soon too, Anonymous," she says with a warm smile.


>". . ."
". . ."
>It was a very quiet walk back to the car and you can feel as if Celestia was looking out of the window, her eyes boring two holes at the back of your skull
>Yikes!
>Luna takes the passenger seat and gingerly gives you the keys. You start up the car and slowly slide out of the curb.
>After a while, you coast to a stop at an intersection. You and Luna looks at each other at the same time.
>And both of you break out in a fit of laughter.
"Close call," you finally say. Luna nods in agreement.
>Luna still is visibly embarrassed and tries her best not to look at you.
"So...how was your first time?"
>She looks at you with mock accusing eyes and slaps your arm. "You're a bad, bad man!"
You grin at her as she bends for a kiss. "Says the one that wanted to rip my pants off."
>She gives your cheek a pinch and puts a hand on her chest. "That was rather...exciting."
"Exciting? Hell," You laugh. "I was lucky Celestia didn't point a shotgun at my head."
>"We'll be careful next time," she assures you. "It's not like she walked on us doing something, right?"
"She didn't and that's the problem. I was THIS goddamn close!" You grouse jokingly. 
>Luna giggles at that and slumps at her seat. "As I said, my boyfriend IS an old pervert!"

>After a few more minutes, you finally glide the car to your designated parking slot. Luna fixes her hair first using the rearview mirror and you head back to get the groceries.
>You struggle for a bit as a wisp of chilly air passes you. The weather has been mellowing down and you expected snow by the end of the month.
>The apartment lift's broken for the third time this month so it's sweet sweet exercise for your knees. Luna tries to lighten up the mood saying it's good for you
>After maneuvering to open the door with your hands full of grocery bags, you finally drop the accursed things at the countertop.
>Luna zips behind you and makes a beeline for your room. She catches you looking and gives you a wide smile.
"Say, what's in the box anyways?" You ask.
>She closes the door slightly and offers the excuse of it being a secret and you would know soon
>You leave her be and decide to arrange the groceries to their respective shelves.
>Then you remember the sensations of having Luna so close to you in an intimate way. Your heart suddenly thumps faster as you recount how exciting-no...how intoxicating it was. You wonder...
>Luna then helps you arrange then puts a leg across the doorway preventing you from exiting.
>"Room's off limits for now, okay?"
You just roll your eyes and pout. "Okay, mom."
>That earns you a pinch on the cheek and a kiss. "Now, how about I make us a nice, healthy dinner?" She offers.
You stop yourself from making a face just in time and force a weak smile instead. "Can we do this slowly?"
>She just sticks out her tongue and slightly pushes you out. "No. Anon's healthy eating habits starts tonight!"

>You have to admit, whatever Luna's cooking smells heavenly right now. Your stomach rumbles as Luna peeks out from the kitchen and calls your attention.
>"Dinner's gonna be ready in a few minutes,Anon." she says while adjusting her hair in a bun. "Would you be a dear and set up the table?"
You stand up and give her a curt bow. "But of course, my princess." You say in an exaggerated british accent.
>She gets to laugh at that and claps at you to hurry up. "Do you have anything aside from paper plates?"
You just laugh like you'd assume they do during the oldie times. "Nonsense! Only the finest red cups and paper plates for such important occasion."
>"I'm serious, Anon."
"But doing dishes when you're full is hard.." you complain.
>"Anon," she looks at you sternly.
"Just kidding. My finest china, coming right up!" You laugh as you rummage for them. Setting the table takes no time at all and you find two nice looking candles for a ritzier effect.
>Luna then arrives with a casserole pot in hand. She looks visibly pleased on how you set the table up.
"That smells REALLY REALLY nice," you say as you pull out the chair for her.
>She stops you and instead grabs you by the shoulders and makes you sit down. She then opens the pot, and gives you a big serving of her veggie lasagna.
>"Well? Go on," Luna says as she insists you try it first. "Tell me what you think."
You let it cool down a bit first before forking a mouthful. This is...this is..
"Luna," you say as you take her hand. "I believe I haven't told you yet how much I love you."
>She giggles at that and kicks you lightly under the table. "I suppose it's true,then. Quickest way to a man's heart?"
>"I put mushrooms on it too," She explains as she looks at you attacking your food with much gusto. "I read somewhere it makes a good alternative to meat. Wait, where are you going?"
>You slightly startle Luna as you abruptly stand up and head to the kitchen. On your way back, you see her looking at you in a perplexed manner.
>You produce a piece of fabric you hid behind you and you show it to her. It's your cooking apron.
You clear your throat and kneel in front of her. "I believe the title fits you more perfectly more than it does to me. And so I present you, Vice Princess Luna, the fabled apron of The World's Best Cook."
>Luna clearly liked your theatrics and claps lightly. She then stands up and turns around so you can put it on her.
>"It does look better on me, no?" She asks while she gives a twirl in front of the mirror. "After all, I'm the.." She says as she sandwiches the 'WORLD'S BEST COOK' print on the apron with her hands.
>She catches you looking at her and gives you a big smile from the mirror. You give her two thumbs up.
"Next time it's gonna be a jeweled necklace, I promise."
>"You don't have to, Anon," She assure you. She walks over towards you and gives you a hug and a slow kiss. 
>"You don't know how much this means to me," Luna whispers as she sways you a bit. She then takes your hand and puts it on her cheek. "The moments we have and share. These memories are worth more than every jewelry in the world. And to think that we almost didn't make it." 
That pulls your heartstrings and you fight the urge to shed a tear. Thankfully Luna breaks the spell and gives you a final hug.
>Luna looks at you intently and smiles. "Anon? Will you..."
You hung to her every word like a drunk man. "Will you..."
>She leans on your shoulder and whispers. "Will you.....do the dishes tonight?"

>Your eyes go wide and your lips contort as you try to stifle a laugh.
>Luna laughs too and elicits a giggle as you pinch her waist.
"Way to ruin that beautiful moment, Lunie."
>She rolls her eyes and gives a sigh. "And you thought I was going to what, propose? Men."
>She then sticks out her tongue and makes you sit down again. "Now eat!" 
>The two of you eat in relative silence with the occasional nervous laugh whenever the two of you meet glances.
"Now about that proposal..." you joke her.
>Luna raises an eyebrow at you. "Aren't you a bit of a hurry. We've been in a relationship just yesterday, remember?"
You pout as you stand to collect the plates. "I thought the years we've known each other counted."
>"Sorry. That only counts as the 'getting to know each other' part."
"Well, how is my report card looking like?" you ask her.
>Luna looks at you with a half smile as she helps you clear the table. "A+ on everything and plus remarks on cheesiness. You get average grades on cooking though. All in all, definitely husband material."
"I can almost see it now. A quiet life with the occasional instances where you throw plates at me when you're angry." 
>She almost trips and slaps your arm. "I'm not THAT kind of a woman!"
"One can never be so sure...OW!" you blurt out as she toyfully pinches you in the butt.
>You set the dishes at the counter and grab her by the waist. Luna was squirming and laughing as you put her on top of the table
>She stops moving when she notices you look deeply at her. You just smile and give her a bop on the nose. 
"I love you."
>She giggles softly and gives you a kiss. "I know. But you still need to do the dishes,honey."
You laugh a bit as you toy with her hair. "It doesn't matter. I still love you."
>She pouts and leans in for a hug. "Hmmmm...maybe I'd help you out tonight. Just because you were really sweet to me."

>You finish washing the plates and you walk towards the living room. You notice Luna has the box she got this morning and apparently it was full of sewing supplies.
>Luna doesn't notice you until you plop beside her. She tries to hide it but ends up turning away from you and then continues to knit.
>You just scoot at the opposite side of the sofa and stretch out, your toes tickling her back.
>"Anon! Stop it!" Luna giggles as she squirms from your tickling. 
"Okay, okay sheeeesh," you mutter. "Face here, will you?"
>Luna turns toward you a bit and mouths the word no.
"C'mon Lunie. You'll definitely like this," you offer.
>Luna stops for a moment and you see her head perk up. "Okay, what is it?" She says as she turns around.
You reach and grab a foot. She gasps in surprise because your hands were cold. "Sorry."
>Luna furrows her eyebrows but starts to look sleepy as you begin kneading her foot. "I can REALLY get used to this."
>She then leans back and places the thing she's knitting at her chest. You hear her sigh deeply and slowly form a smile.
>After a few minutes, she shifts positions a bit and resumes knitting. You ask her what's its for but she just says she's not telling.
>You just grunt in indifference and close your eyes for a moment. Pretty soon your hands slow down and you start to sleep.
>"All done!" She excitedly says as she puts the knitting needles back at the box. "Now, close your eyes and..."
>Luna wraps a shawl around your neck and gives you a kiss. "There! how do you like my handiwork, Anon?"
You feel the fabric for a bit and then wrap the opposite end at Luna's neck. You motion for her to come closer and you give her a warm hug.
"What have I ever done good to deserve you," you mutter
