  4. Alright, let’s do this shit.
  5.  
  6. >You sit at your computer, browsing /mlp/ as you pet the border collie sitting beside you.
  7. >After glancing over some uninteresting threads, a thread labelled “Story Time!” catches your eye.
  8. >Curious, you open up the thread and quickly read through the options.
  9. >Option 1 seemed rather uninteresting, and the prospect of spending your time with your favorite pony seemed pretty inviting.
  10. >Suddenly, there was a loud knock at your door, causing you to jump in your seat and your companion to charge the door, barking at whatever could be on the other side.
  11. “Strange, nobody ever comes out here.”
  12. >You rise from your comfortable chair and quickly approach the door. Mindful of the baseball bat sitting against the wall beside you, you cautiously open the door.
  13. >Nobody was there, much to your confusion.
  14. >You glance down and spot a large, dirty sack lying on your front doorstep, your dog cautiously sniffing at it.
  15. “I don't recall ordering anything…”
  16. >You shrug. Free shit is best shit.
  17. >You grab the sack and lift it over your shoulders, struggling to carry it’s weight despite the fact you've built up quite a bit of muscle from logging in the woods surrounding your cabin.
  18. >Walking into the living room, your faithful companion in tow, you carefully place the sack down on the floor.
  19. >After retrieving your handy dandy Ka-Bar from your desk, you begin cutting away at the ropes.
  20. >A few moments later, the ropes give, and you tear them away from the sack, cautiously opening it.
  21. >Your eyes widened as you took in what was inside the sack.
  22. >There, lying in the middle of the sack, was a pony.
  23. >But not just any pony, but the lunar princess herself.
  24. >Princess Luna.
  25. ”Well I’ll be damned…”
  26.  
  27. What do, /mlp/?

  36. >Placing aside your blade and pushing away your collie, who decided it was a good idea to aggressively lick the cheek of blue alicorn in front of you, you check the princess for any wounds that might need patching up.
  37. >There was a nasty bump on the back of her head, but it didn’t look bad enough to cause a concussion or anything like that.
  38. >Besides that, there were only a few scratches and bruises. Whoever did this to her must have caught her off guard.
  39. >You pet the head of your dog, who is sitting obediently beside you and eyeing the pony curiously, before wrapping your arms around the unconscious alicorn and lifting her up to your shoulders.
  40. >You fireman carry the mare to your bedroom and place her in your bed.
  41. >After covering the princess in a blanket, you make your way into your kitchen and open your fridge to check to see how much pony friendly food was inside.
  42. >There were plenty of vegetables and some fruits, as well as some bread, milk, and other foods. Should be enough to feed a hungry alicorn.
  43. >You close the fridge and grab an ice pack from the freezer, before making your way out of kitchen.
  44. >As you start making your way back towards your room, you pass by your computer and notice 4chan still up on the monitor.
  45. >A pang of guilt hit you, knowing that you were responsible for tearing this pony away from her home. Sure, it’d be nice having someone to talk to besides anonymous people on the internet for the first time in several years, but the knowledge that you just stole everything Luna knew away from her would likely haunt you forever. Her old life, her friends, her dear sister, everything gone.
  46. >Your thoughts are interrupted as you hear a bark from your bedroom. You exit the browser and start to walk towards your bedroom.

  54. >You can see your collie, standing at the edge of the hallway and staring at something.
  55. “What is it, girl?”
  56. >You enter the room and look where the dog is looking, to see a certain blue alicorn has awaken, standing at the edge of your bed and rubbing the bump at the back of her head.
  57. “Glad to see you’re awake. Are you feeling-”
  58. >Her head immediately shoots towards you, her eyes full of malice and anger.
  59. >She aims her horn at you, it glowing an ominous dark blue.
  60. “FUCK!”
  61. >You drop the ice pack you’re holding and dive back into your hallway, just in time to dodge the magical bolt she sent your way.
  62. >"YOU DARE KIDNAP ME?! LOWLY APE! YOU SHALL FEEL THE FULL WRATH OF THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!"

  76. >You whistle to your faithful companion to come to you, who obediently runs out of danger and towards you.
  77. “HEY, I DIDN’T KIDNAP-”
  78. >Another magic bolt is fired towards the doorway, impacting against the nearby wall.
  79. >Seems diplomacy won’t work.
  80. >Your mind flashes to the Mosin Nagant hidden in a closet down the hall, but you quickly dismiss that idea. You’d probably react the same way if you were in her shoes… or whatever the pony version of that is.
  81. >With only one option left, you charge out of cover and towards the princess.
  82. >She charges up another spell, but you get to her before she’s able to kill you. The spell still fires off though, and hits the ceiling above you.
  83. >Putting all of your weight into your tackle, you force the mare down the ground and into a pin.
  84. >She struggles and almost breaks your pin.
  85. >Sadly for her, you lift and cut down trees for a living.
  86. >”Let me go, you mongrel!”
  87. “Ask nicely.”
  88. >”I’d never grace you with manners, beast!”
  89. “Ouch. Are the insults really necessary?”
  90. >”YOU KIDNAPPED ME!”
  91. “But I didn’t kidnap you! I just found you on my doorstep! Honest to God.”
  92. >The mare momentarily ceased her struggling and look up at you.
  93. >”How can I trust you?”
  94. “Good question. However, if I kidnapped you, why am I letting you sleep in my bed and why am I patching up your wounds? Doesn't sounds like something a kidnapper would do, does it?”
  95. >The princess thought this over for a few moments.
  96. >”I… I guess not.”
  97. >Feeling there was no longer a threat of you being vaporized, you released the princess from your pin and helped her off the floor.

  105. “Are you okay? I hope I didn’t hurt you.”
  106. >”No, I believe I’m fine. Though my head is killing me.”
  107. “Here, put this on that bump. It’ll numb it and keep down the swelling.”
  108. >You pick up the discarded ice pack and hand it to the princess, who plucks it from your hand with her telekinesis and places it against her head.
  109. >”Thank you… my apologies for attacking you. It was a rash decision on my part.”
  110. “Don’t worry about it, I would have done the same thing in your place… though I am a bit ticked about the damage you caused to the cabin my grandfather built with his bare hands.”
  111. >She looks mortified for a couple seconds, but you smile at her and wave it off.
  112. “Forget about it, really. I’m just glad you didn’t hurt me or my dog.”
  113. >Luna looks as if she’s going to say something else, but is interrupted by a loud growl from her stomach.
  114. “Come on, let’s get you something to eat. You must be starved.”
  115. >”I am rather famished.”
  116. >You lead the princess into the kitchen, your faithful companion following at a distance and keeping a suspicious eye on the mare.
  117. >You open the fridge and look around for something to feed Luna. After a few minutes of digging around, you find some leftover pea soup and pull it out.
  118. “It might be not worthy of royalty, but it’s better than nothing, right?”
  119. >Luna nodded, eyeing the soup hungrily.
  120. >You toss it in the microwave for a minute. Upon it finishing warming up, you retrieve it from microwave and toss in a pinch of white pepper for some added flavor.
  121. >You grab a spoon and bring it over to the table, placing it down and pulling the chair out for the princess, who hops up onto it and tries to make herself comfortable.
  122. >She glances at the spoon for a second, but instead picks up the bowl and starts drinking the soup out of it.
  123. >Within a few short moments, the soup is completely gone, and the princess looks satisfied with her meal. Score one for Anon.

  133. >"Um... I actually never caught your name. What was it?”
  134. “Anonymous, though you may call me Anon if you like.”
  135. >”Anonymous… a peculiar name. Well Anon, I am Luna. Princess of the Night, Guardian of Dreams…”
  136. >As the princess goes through all of the titles that have been bestowed upon her over the years, you hold back the temptation to tell her that you already knew who she was. But he had a feeling that wouldn’t turn out very well. He’d tell her when she was ready.
  137. >”...and the Booty Dancing Champion of Equestria, 2012.”
  138. >You nod.
  139. “I see…”

  153. >Arms are heavy
  154. >You didn't vomit on your sweater yet, but there was plenty of spaghetti leaking out of your pockets.
  155. "I... well..."
  156. >God damn, if your pockets leak any more spaghetti both you and the princess are going to drown in it.
  157. >Clearing your throat, you do your best to organize the hundreds of thoughts going through your head right now into a coherent sentence.
  158. “You’re not in Equestria anymore, Dorothy.”
  159. >Luna eyed you quizzically, though you couldn’t tell if it was because of the reference or the fact she wasn’t in Equestria.
  160. “You’re on Earth. I don’t know where Equestria is, but it’s not on this planet. It might not even be in this universe, or even this dimension.”
  161. >The princess remained stoic, but her eyes betrayed her. What you had said struck her like a bullet.
  162. >Perhaps you said too much.
  163. >”I… I see.”
  164. >She sighed.
  165. >”I feel like I need some time alone… is there anywhere I could sit and just think?”
  166. “Feel free to use my room. I’ll just sleep on the couch.”
  167. >She nods and cracks a smile at you.
  168. >”Thank you, Anon. I bid you a good evening.”
  169. “Any time…”
  170. >She dismounted her chair and pushed it back in place with her telekinesis.
  171. “...and hey, if you need somebody to talk to, I’m here for you.”
  172. >The princess glanced over her shoulder at you.
  173. >”Thank you, Anon. I appreciate the offer.”
  174. >With that, the mare walked out of the room. You heard your bedroom door softly close moments later.
  175. >You sighed heavily, knowing what type of emotions must be running through her head.
  176. >The guilt you felt earlier returned once again to haunt you. She’d never be here if it wasn’t for your idiot mistakes.”
  177. >With yet another sigh, you move into the living room, turn on the TV, and sit on your couch. You decide the best move would be to give Luna her space, then check on her later.

  184. >You briefly consider doing a little bit of lurking on /mlp/ before heading off to bed, but decide that it’d be best to not risk Luna seeing the truth, or worse, why she is here.
  185. >”You really shouldn’t have entered that thread..”
  186. >Startled by this voice, you glance towards the source of the voice and spot a woman with long, dark hair and wearing an elegant blue dress leaning over your couch, glaring at you.
  187. “I was wondering when you were going to show up, Serina.”
  188. >”Don’t try to change the subject on me.”
  189. “You know just what’s going on in my head. I feel horrible about this. I took away everything from you just because I wanted my waifu.”
  190. >You sigh and shake your head.
  191. “Besides… how was I supposed to know that it was going to work?”
  192. >”You didn’t, but you never know what kind of trouble you might run into if you aren’t careful.”
  193. >You glare at the woman.
  194. “Well excuse me for not thinking that there was a chance that I would end up finding a character from a cartoon on my front doorstep!”
  195. >She threw her hands up defensively.
  196. >”Easy Anon, easy. Don’t want your guest to hear you. Besides, what happened doesn’t matter. Right now you have a princess who was taken from her home in your room in need of comfort, and you’re the only one who can deliver.”
  197. >You frown and look away from her, thinking this through. After a few moments, you come to a conclusion.
  198. “You’re right… nobody was there for me when I needed help, and I’ll be damned if I left somebody to suffer.”
  199. >You turn to where she was before, but find nothing there.
  200. “Thanks for leaving before I could finish, Serina, as usual…”
  201. >Rising from the couch, you walk out of the living and start making your way towards your room, mentally preparing yourself for what’s to come.

  209. >Curious, you put your ear up against the door and listen carefully.
  210. >On the other end, you’re able to make out the sound of light sobbing of the rooms occupant.
  211. >You sigh. You know she said she wanted to be alone, but…
  212. >Fuck it. Serina’s right. She needs someone to comfort her and you know it.
  213. >You reach down, turn the door handle, and open the door, preparing for whatever is on the other side of the door.
  214. >Looking around the room, you find Luna lying on your bed, crying to herself. Evidently, she didn’t notice you enter the room.
  215. >Or perhaps she just didn’t care. You weren’t sure which.
  216. >You slowly approach the princess and sit beside her, reaching over and combing your fingers through her mane in an effort to comfort her.
  217. >She flinched at your touch, her sobs stopping as you continued to comfort her.
  218. >The two of you sat there is silence, the only sounds in the room being your breathing and the occasional sniffle from the princess.
  219. >”I miss my home, Anon. I miss my sister, my niece, my sister’s apprentice and her friends. I’m even starting to miss my insufferable nephew.”
  220. >You continue to comb your fingers through her mane, listening to her intently.
  221. >”Why did this have to happen to me? I already had everything stolen from me, and I just got it all back. And now I’ve lost everything once more...”
  222. >As the waterworks begin once more, your guilt sprung up once more.
  223. >She would have never been in this situation if it wasn’t for your bullshit.
  224. >Why did you even have to go into that thread? Why couldn’t you have just went on /fit/ and talked about your gains or show off your nugget on /k/ instead?

  238. >Your thoughts flashback to your past. There were many horrors in there, things you’ve witnessed and done yourself, things you’d much rather keep forgotten.
  239. “I’ve been through my fair share of shit, Luna. And when I was suffering, crying to myself in my room and contemplating just ending it, nobody was there for me. Nobody picked me up and helped me back on my feet. No one would have given two shits if I one day decided I was going to end it, I’d just become yet another statistic.”

All because nobody bothered to ask, ‘Hey Anon, are you feeling okay?’. Nobody told me, ‘Anon, if there is ever anything you need help with, I’m here for you’. The only people who would help me and could understand what I was going through were either long gone or dead, and I was surrounded by people who either didn't care or understand.”

  252. “If I let another soul suffer in silence without trying to help, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.

  302. >Moments later, a plate of pancakes are dropped in front of you, and your blue alicorn companion takes a seat beside you with her own plate.

  304. >As you’re about to respond, you’re silenced by a mouthful of pancakes, fed to you by a fork held up by a magical dark blue aura.

  318. >Luna decides to wolf down the pancakes in a manner most unbefitting for a princess, and finishes with her meal within a couple minutes. Upon swallowing the last bite, she flashes a coy smirk at you.
  319. >”Slowpoke.”
  320. >You shrug and continue eating.
  321. >As Luna leans back and gets lost in the music, you watch her carefully.

  324. >What if you finally lost it?

  340. >”May I go with you, Anon? Some fresh air would be nice.”

  342. >Then again… there isn’t a soul for miles, and you sincerely doubt there would be anyone walking around in your neck of the woods. The area is known to have wolves, something you know from first hand experience.
  343. >Still…
  344. “I dunno, Luna. Other humans won’t react as kindly to a talking unicorn with wings as I would. Do you have anyway to disguise yourself? Maybe a cloaking or transformation spell?”
  345. >Luna raises a hoof to her chin and scratches it while she thinks.
  346. >Suddenly, her eyes light up with realization.
  347. >”Oh yeah, I have just the thing!”
  348. “Well, let’s see it.”

  351. >A few seconds later, the blinding light subsides, and you’re able to see just what Luna did.

  374. >You smile.
  375. “Though, you’re going to need some clothes. As much as I enjoyed the view, it’s a disguise to fool people, not to tease me.”
  376. >”Aww… that’s no fun.”
  377. >She transforms once more, only this time she is wearing a pair of faded jeans, some well worn khaki boots that remind you of the ones you used to wear, and a gray parka.
  378. “Perfect, let me go get ready real quick and we can head out.”
  379. >The princess nods before dropping her disguise and flopping onto the couch. You rush into your room and close the door behind you and begin to get ready.

  388. >In your hands you held a tennis ball and an axe, and slung over your shoulder was an AR, just in case the wolves didn’t learn their lesson the last time you and them tangled.
  389. >You glanced around real quick to make sure nobody was around, before ushering Luna outside.

  394. “I’m just glad you decided to show up when I moved out here instead of back then. I don’t think would have had a lot of fun being stuck inside all day.”

  397. “True.”
  398. >You walk over to your truck, a 2009 Ford F-150, open up the back and help your dog into the back. Once she’s secure, you close up the back and open up passenger seat for Luna.

  410. >You turn the ignition key and start up the engine, which roared to life not a second later.

  414. “Nothing, I was just expecting a different reaction.”

  424. >Your spot was a tiny clearing, maybe a little bigger than your front lawn, giving you just enough room to maneuver and play catch with your dog if she’s with you.
  425. >You climb out the truck, your axe in hand, as you walk around the back and let your border collie out.

  446. “Great…”

  448. >As you are making you way back, you hear more howling from the woods all around you, and the barking up head intensified with each howl.

  455. >Hearing another howl, this time much closer, you turn around with your AR at the ready.
  456. >Standing at the edge of the clearing was a single wolf, watching you.

  753. >You could feel Luna’s body shudder slightly, and you looked down to see to see several tears running down her cheek. You reach down and wipe away the tears, before gently rubbing her side.
  754. >”Yet, here you are. You took me into your home, let me sleep in your bed, and still allowed me to stay after I almost vaporized you. You’ve stayed up with me and gave me a shoulder to cry on. Even now, you continue to comfort me.”

The only ponies who didn’t flee in terror or avoid me like the plague were my sister, my niece, her husband, my sister’s protege, her friends, and this one cute little colt for Trottingham. And then, it felt… rather forced.”

  1248. “Is that so?”
  1249. >”Yeah.”
  1250. >You felt the princess grip onto your shirt tightly.
  1251. >”But I must admit…”
  1252. >That smirk showed up on her face once more.
  1253. >”...for a peasant, you are pretty cute.”
  1254. >She closed the remaining amount of space between the both of you and pressed her lips against yours.

  1260. >As your lips touched a warmth enveloped your body, and a stirring of emotion worked it's way from your stomach into your throat and to your lips as you kissed her back with all the passion and intensity of an old lover.
  1261. >It wasn't just lust that you felt though in that moment, not just some primal instinct that forced you two together. There was something deeper, an emotion that you could only relate to bliss.
  1262. >A feeling you haven’t felt in years.
  1263. >It was love.
  1264. >Your feeling of bliss was cut short as Luna pulled away from you, a goofy, satisfied smile spreading across her face.
  1265. >You can feel an equally goofy grin spread across your face as you look up at her form, barely visible in the last few rays of sunlight of the day.
  1266. “Is that a yes…?”
  1267. >The goofy grin on Luna’s face morphed into one of her trademark smirks.
  1268. >”I’ll leave it up to you, but it should be pretty obvious to you, Anon~”

  1274. >The two of you ended up sitting back and watching the sunset together before calling it quits and walking back to town.
  1275. >A twenty minute walk later, you found yourself back where you started earlier in the day.
  1276. >You check your watch real quick as you start walking back to your car and see it’s only 1750.
  1277. >The night’s still young, might as well fit something else in to complete the day before your several hour drive back home.
  1278. >Besides, you could use a bite to eat.
  1279. >You go through a quick list of restaurants in the area in your head that would have plenty of items that’d fit Luna’s likely vegetarian diet.
  1280. >You vaguely remember a restaurant called Doogers having a nice selection of salads and pastas, despite being a seafood restaurant.
  1281. >Besides, it’s probably the best option besides driving all the way to Portland to eat at some vegetarian cafe infested with hipsters.
  1282. “Hey Luna?”
  1283. >She glances over at you with a curious eye.
  1284. >”Yes Anon?”
  1285. “You wanna go grab a bite to eat? I know this great place just down the street.”
  1286. >A sly grin spread across the princess’s lips.
  1287. >”Trying to wine and dine me, dear Anon? It’ll take a little more than that to get a piece of this flank~”
  1288. “I-I… uh…”
  1289. >Luna giggled at your reaction.
  1290. >”I’m only teasing, Anon. I’d love to. I’m rather famished myself.”
  1291. >Fucking tease.

  1299. >You looked down at the meal that had been placed in front of you with hungry eyes lustfully.
  1300. >You ended up ordering a nine ounce filet mignon (which some genius in the kitchen decided to wrap in bacon at some point years ago in a moment of brilliance), served with a salad, sweet potato fries, and garlic toast.
  1301. >Silently thanking whatever deity was looking after your ass for Luna being indifferent to meat, you stop brutally eyefucking your steak for a few moment and look over at the princess sitting across from you.
  1302. >She examines the meal placed in front her with a judgemental gaze. She ended up ordering the alfredo, which was what you typically ordered here when you didn’t have a cook who didn’t make any bacon or steak.
  1303. >Prodding the pasta with her fork, she twirled a strand of pasta around her cutlery and took a bite of it.
  1304. >After a few moments of chewing, she swallowed.
  1305. >”It isn’t the best alfredo I’ve had, but it’s not the worst.”
  1306. >She stabbed her fork once more into her meal and went to work, slurping away at the noodles in a manner most unbecoming of a princess.
  1307. >You cracked a smile at the thought of her eating like this in front of a bunch of horrified dignitaries and nobles, before digging into your own steak.
