EPILOGUE

Narrated by Luna

You were buried in the Canterlot cemetary. The one where royalty is buried. I figured you'd like that. I never showed anyone your letter. I still have it....locked away in piles of useless papers in the old castle that me and my older sister once shared. You were buried at 2:03 in the evening... just as the sun started its heavenly decent. I remember chasing after you that day with my saddlebags insue... if only i was quicker....

I remember the walk I took home that night...

I remember the cold air and hearing your voice in the distance

I remember all the confusion and anger in your letter when you returned

I remember seeing you on that ledge

I remember what you said

I remember your decent

I wait for a death that will never come

I wait for the day in which i can see you again

I wait....

In all my years, in all my generations of people... I have only remembered one person in particular... one person from the beginning of time till now...... you

 

PART [B] NON-CYOA (GOOD END)

 

This would have been the other side of the story without all the CYOA stuff since I know some of you guys didn't like it... or thought it was forced... you're right... I'm not saying it wasn't, so here....

 

 

>you get to the castle.... thank god

>the guards let you in after an ID check to make sure you weren't a changeling

>You ask if they've seen her, they respond

Guard 1: I haven't seen her... have you Rick?

Guard 2: nah, I haven't... but I heard from Laurence that he saw her come in late last night

Guard 1: yeah but that's Laurence, that fucker's always telling lies

Guard 2:Yeah... but I really think he was tellin' the truth this time...

>you slowly walk away... leaving the two guards to bitch about Laurence... who ever the hell that was

>You spot Luna's spire on the opposite side of the courtyard and slowly make your way towards it

>you enter Luna's spire and start sprinting up the spiral stairs taking three steps at a time

>The tower was at least 200ft tall so you had a ways to go

>you finally reach the top after a good effort and a good amount of time

Anon: *huff* Goddamn she has a *huff* lot of stairs...

>You take a moment to catch your breath, drink some water, and regain your composure

>you approach the large wooden door to her bedroom

>you reach out and yank on the large brass handle that fixed itself on the door

>the door was locked, but you gave it a couple of go's just to make sure

>you sit there for a couple of seconds, wondering what to do

Anon: should I climb out on the ledge and sneak in through a window?....nah, that wouldn't work... I'd probably die too

>you contemplate for a couple more seconds before deciding on just knocking

>You knock on the old wooden door

>you press your ear against the lock in the wood, hoping to hear some sort of noise or disturbance

>unfortunately, the door was too thick

>after a few minutes you try knocking again.. this time, louder

>you hear a muffled voice from inside... a few hoofsteps toward the door, and then the lock on the door unlocking

>Luna appears in the door way... i takes a few seconds for her to realize it was you

Luna: Anon.... I-I...

Anon:" Please Luna, not another word. I have to say I am so sorry for how I acted. I was rushing things. I let my heart blindly take over my actions. I love you Luna. And-"

Luna:" Anon, please. I want to ask for your forgiveness, I stormed out of the tent. I can only imagine how you must have felt. I feel really bad for what I did. And I can see I was unclear about my feelings. So let me show you how I really feel."

Anon:" Alright Lu-"

>You are cut off mid sentence by a kiss from Luna

>Your eyes widen up at first, in shock of the action Luna is doing

>You then close your eyes, relax, and kiss her back

Anon:" Luna..."

Luna:" Anon..."

Anon:" Why did you just do that?"

Luna:" Because I really didn't make it clear on how I felt about you. As soon as I left our tent, I began to ponder about the decision I just made. I felt bad for just abandoning you. I just left you there by yourself. I was confused and I rushed out, worrying I could do something I might regret. But in fact, in doing so, I did something I now regret. I love you Anon, you have always been here for me. I gave you my friendship when we first met when my Sister had simply ignored you. And as time went on, I grew attached to you. Anon, I know I didn't make my feelings clear in the tent, but believe me, I would've turned back right away if I didn't think you were heart broken and furious with me. I thought after what I just pulled you would never want to see me again, so I walked in sadness to my room in the castle and I locked myself in. I refused any visitors. You're the exception Anon. "

Anon:" Luna... Wow... I... I... don't know what to say..."

Luna:" Then don't say anything. Let your actions speak instead."

>You dive in for a hug with Luna and you sweetly embrace each other, nudging your faces together, holding one another in your arms

>You then pull away, look at her in the eyes and see the flames of desire burning in her soul

>You kiss her with your own burning passion

Luna:" Come, let's get on my bed, I think that would be more appropriate for our embracing."

Anon:" Sounds wonderful Luna. You have no idea how happy you've made me. When you said "I love you" to me, my heart raced in pure euphoria"Luna:" Hush now, no words, just love."

>She silences you with a kiss as she pulls you to her bed

>You start to cuddle and snuggle with each other, embracing one another sweetly

>She curls up into you and you wrap yourself around her in a loving embrace

Anon:" Luna, I wish this moment would last forever. I know it can't but I truly do love you."

Luna:" Believe me, I'd love for this moment to last forever, but we can have other moments like this, if not better in the future Anon."

Anon:" You'd want to do this with me again Luna?"

Luna:" Why of course I do Anon! I can feel your passion for me and I'm sure you can sense mine for you. My heart is burning with my love for you. I'm certain with my feelings now. If there's anyone who I'd want to be my special somebody, it would be you."

>A little tear of joy slips from your eye

>You immediately wipe it and hug Luna in excitement and passion

Anon:" Luna, I want you to be my special somebody to. But I'm sure that's obvious enough from my actions. You have no idea how happy you made me just by saying that. Oh Luna, I'd want to be with you forever."

Luna:" Forever? I think that would be a bit too short."

>Luna laughs and kisses you sweetly

>You two begin to embrace each other again

>The sun's light shines gracefully through the windows in Luna's room, beaming upon you and Luna as you snuggle

Anon:" You know Luna, I'd happily be your special somebody for all of my life."

Luna:" And that life and love will last forever Anon, believe me."

>She gives you a wink and kisses you one more time

>The kisses are much more than you ever expected from Luna

>You and her have kissed so much and it has filled both your hearts with glee

>The two of you slowly and softly fall asleep, holding one another in your arms
