>To be honest, you can’t actually remember where you are. >There were trees to the left of you, and a cliff to right. >It was night, but you were able to see clearly because of the bright, full moon in the sky. >You began walking forwards, walking along with the cliff, trying to see how far it extended. >It seemed to stretch on forever into the horizon. >Maybe you’d see it if it was daytime? >You continue walking on, hoping you might uncover a landmark or something. >Off in the distance you see a silhouette rest agent the edge of your vision. >You squint your eyes, hoping to make sense of what it was. >A pony possibly, definitely an animal though. >Four hooves it looked like, and it had the same structure as a pony, but it was slightly too big. “Hello?” >You called out, hoping to draw the attention of the creature. >It’s neck swung around, it’s hair swinging around across the dark blue background. >That was definitely the mane of a pony. >It takes off into the air, flying a few feet off the ground directly towards you. >You tense up, ready to do a dodging roll to the side if necessary >The creature doesn’t hit you though, rather it falls a few yards ahead of your position, clearly displaying her identity to you. “Luna” >She folds her wings back into her side, and galanty rises her head. >”Hello Anonymous.” >She says with a certain coo in her voice. >”I have been admiring you for quite some time now.” “I know, Luna.” >”Then why have you been so naive?” >You don’t say anything, hoping she was being sarcastic. >”Well, go on. Tell me why you’ve chosen to ignore me these past few months?” >Nope, she’s either completely serious, or she’s playing dumb. “Are you serious Luna?” >”Completely serious, Anonymous.” “Luna, have you forgotten the mare that’s already in my life?” >”...” >Luna’s expression shifted into one of stubbornness. >”Are you referring to the element of magic?” “Her name is Twilight Sparkle, and yes, I am.” >Luna ruffles her wings a bit and lightly stomps on the ground. >”I am far superior to her, Anonymous.” >You roll your eyes, this wasn’t the first time you’ve been over this conversation with Luna. “Luna, you’re a goddamn princess, you could literally hook up with whichever single stallion you wanted to.” >After Luna doesn’t reply, you speak again. “I realise it’s been 1000 years, so I can understand your ignorance towards some basic concepts, but even though you ARE a princess, that doesn’t mean you can steal me away from Twilight.” >Luna shifts her vision down. “After 1000 years, I’d be pretty horny for some sexual attention as well, so just go out there, find a nice stallion, and you know, go at it.” >Luna continues to stay silent. >Did you just win? Did you successfully tell Luna off? >”You don’t understand Anonymous… I need you.” >Nope, confirmed fail. >”Ever since I’ve seen you, I’ve craved your love and affection. I know that I love you more than that purple pansy does.” “Luna, you are as green as a fresh pickled toad!” >”...” >”Do you know why you’re the mayor of Ponyville right now?” “Huh?” >”If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have such a nice job.” >You weren’t sure if this was Luna’s bluff or not. >”I was the one who suggested you fill in when Mayor Mare renounced her position, I was the one who turned your life around.” “Maybe, or maybe not, but even if you were the one responsible for my job position, it doesn’t matter because nothing you say or do will make me leave Twilight. Why do you still insist on pursuing something that won’t happen?” >”Because it will happen, it can happen, Anonymous. You don’t see your love for me now, but you will eventually.” >Luna turns around and jumps into the air, releasing her wings. “Wait!” >You call out. “Where are we?” >Luna doesn’t say anything for a couple seconds, as if wondering what to say, then speaks. >”This is my realm, Anonymous. I have a great deal of power here… Just be glad I feel no pleasure in this place. ” She says before shooting off into the horizon. >Wait, what? >You try running after her, but you manage to take only a couple steps before time seems to slow down until the point where it felt like trudging through water. >You couldn’t speak, blurriness surrounded the edge of your vision. >You shake your head violently to clear the blackness, but it only made your head spin. >Your vision fills black before you fall to the ground. --------       >You shoot up in bed hastily. >Wait, bed? >You look around the room. >You are in the guest room at Canterlot Castle. *sigh* >It was just a dream. >A dream that Luna invaded. >This wasn’t the first time she pushed into your dreams, but this was definitely the furthest she’s ever taken it. >Most of the time she’d just watch it unfold, gazing in from the sidelines. >Never has she had a conversation with you. >Whatever, it was probably best not to dwell on it. You talk to her later… after some coffee. >You look over to the other side of the bed. >Empty. >Twilight probably just woke up before you, and decided to get an early start. >You’ll probably be able to find her with Celestia, or maybe in the Canterlot archives. >But, that’s a task for later. >Right now, you just have to focus on getting out of bed. >You remove the sheets covering you, and swing your legs out over the side. >You are about to stand up, but a sound coming from outside the room takes your attention. >Hoofsteps from the sound of it. >You look over towards the door, and see the Princess herself. >The sun raising one, to clarify. >The princess sees you, and smiles. >”Good morning, Anonymous. Did you sleep well?” >The princess had that early morning drowsy look, and her hair was slightly bedheaded. >You looked out the window on the other side of the bed. >It was dark, not even a sunrise yet. Man, you woke up early. >You shift your gaze back over to Celestia. >She was visibly sporting a huge blush. “Good morning, Celestia, and I slept okay, I suppose.” >... >Celestia didn’t respond, she just smiled and slightly diverted her gaze, not quite looking away or at you. “Uh… Are you alright, Celestia?” >”I didn’t know you slept naked, Anonymous.” >Shit. >You look downwards. >No shirt, no pants, no underwear. >You look around frantically. >You are on a bed, and bed means bedcovers. >You frantically reach out towards the end of the mattress and grab a handful of covers. >As quickly as you can, you swipe them over your unclothed form. “Excuse me, Celestia… it was from last night… with Twilight...” You say, holding a heavy blush of your own. >Celestia giggles slightly and playfully rolls her eyes. >”Honestly Anonymous, you don’t need to cover your nude form here.” >You eye the room to see where your clothes lay. >”You are certainly a beautiful creature, and covering up such a nice natural form is almost an insult to yourself.” >Your pants are on the ground next to the bed, and you’ll get a new shirt from your bag. >”Clothes aren’t that necessarily, we ponies only wear them on occasion.” “I’m not a pony though.” >Celestia nods. >”Although, I want you to feel at home here in Equestria. If wearing clothes pleases you, then don’t let me stop you.” “I won’t. By the way, I wanted to talk to you about something after I get dressed.” >”Ah, alright. I’ll wait for you just outside.” “And, I was also going to take a shower...” >”Oh? Well in that case, I’ll see you at breakfast.” “Directions on the dining room again?” >”It’s the 2nd door on the left of the 4th wing on the 1st floor.” >You make a slightly confused face by cocking your eyebrow. “That doesn’t really help me.” >”If you want, I can wait in here until you’re finished.” “No, you must be busy, I don’t want to hold up somepony like you for such a meager thing.” >Celestia thinks for a second. >”I need to take a shower as well. I could join you if you want.” “Really Celestia? You know that’s out of the question.” >”Is taking showers together a taboo human thing?” “No, well… sorta. As I’ve told you, I don’t like anypony besides Twilight seeing me naked. Therefor, Twilight is the only pony that can shower with me.” >”Anonymous, you know I don’t see you in that light. I know you’re with Twilight, but just being naked shouldn’t be something you need to hide like it’s sin.” >You sigh. >*Dick to brain, come in brain* *It’s brain, what is it, Dick?* *Dick is going to assume total control of Body*   “Alright, fine, we can shower together, so long as you don’t try anything funny.” >Celestia cocks an eyebrow. >”Trust me Anonymous, I would never, ever try to violate anypony against their will.” >The princess changes her voice to a warm, nurturing one. >”If you don’t trust me, or you feel uncomfortable about this, I can leave.” >This did feel a little awkward to you, but you didn’t want to turn Celestia down. You did trust her, you trust her with everything, turning her down would just make her think that you don’t. “No, it’s alright. I completely trust you, I just want to make it clear that I’m with Twilight. She’s the only one that I can have sex with.” >Celestia giggles. >”It’s hard to picture anything like that with my student.” >You roll your eyes. “Lemme get a towel from my bag, you can start the water.” >Celestia nods and walks into the conjoined bathroom. >Was this really a great idea? >You stand up from the bed and reach down into your travel bag. >What if Twilight found out? Would she care? >You pull out a towel from within your bag. >Like Celestia said, just being naked isn’t a sexual thing, or at least, not to them. >You wrap the towel over yourself like a toga, and walk into the bathroom. >Celestia was waiting there, checking the water temperature with her hoof. >You walk up next to here, alerting her of your presents. >”Hello Anonymous, the shower is ready.” >You look over to the white alicorn. “Thank you, Celestia, but ladies first.” >You point your hand outwards towards the shower. >”If you insist.” >Celestia steps through the doorway into the shower. >You remove your towel, and step in with her. >The first thing you notice is how big the actual shower is. >It has a marble bench covering one side and a place to stand on the other. >Three water nozzles can be seen, one on each wall. The whole thing is probably about 3 times as big as your shower back home. >You walk over and join Celestia on the bench, scooting up to her so that the streams of water  hit both of you. >You two sit like that for a couple of moments before you break the tranquil silence. “Enjoying your shower?” >”Very much so, and thanks for joining me.” >You look around your surroundings while you think about how you should phrase your next question. “I have to ask… Why did you want to do this?” >”Do what?” >You wave your hands out in front of your body. “Shower. Why did you want to shower together?” >The princess shrugs. >”I guess I don’t see it as a big deal. I shower alongside Luna all the time.” >Luna… >Just hearing that name made you shudder slightly. “May I ask about your sister?” >”If you want to know about Luna, you might as well just talk to her yourself.” >You exhale while restlessly twiddling your thumbs. “I can’t, she’s the problem.” >Celestia looks at you confused, her face telling you to continue. “Luna has a huge crush on me.” >Celestia starts giggling. >”I know that, Anonymous, she’s told me herself.” “Why haven’t you stepped in yet? You know I’m with Twilight, Luna knows that too, but she refuses to acknowledge it.” >Celestia looks up and shifts into a more comfortable position. >”I see no need to physically intervene, nothing extreme has ever come of it, but every time the topic comes up, (and it does a lot), I tell her the same thing.” >Celestia unfurls and retracts her wings. >”Forget about Anonymous, Luna. He is already in a relationship with my student, and pursuing him will only leave you with a broken heart.” >You sigh. “She was in my dream last night.” >Celestia nods. “I mean, I know she can watch the dreams of sleeping ponies, but last night she talked to me. She said that forcefully, I’d be hers.” >Celestia now looks a little concerned. “I guess what I’m trying to say is, will you talk to her for me?” >Celestia looks forward and furls her brow, as if in thought. >”Of course. I hoped Luna would be more responsible towards this matter, but I’ll see to it that she is informed of her wrong ways… again.” “Thank you.” >You close your eyes and lean back, letting your head rest against the wall. >Hopefully this whole ordeal can be dealt with. >The main reason you don’t like coming to Canterlot is because of Luna. >You hear some magic noises, and you open your eyes. >Celestia was getting some shampoo and conditioner down off one of the shelfs on the side. >”Normally I use special stuff that adds motion and shine to my mane, but this conventional stuff will work for today.” >Celestia squirts some shampoo into her mane, and begins using a brush to sink it in. >You take the container and do the same. >You each sit there in silence, tending to your hygiene. >Shampoo then conditioner. >After a few minutes, the two of you had finished. >You get up, shut off the water, then leave the shower. >The outside air sends icy chills down your back as you race to get dry with your towel. >Once dry, you slip into some clothes while Celestia waits by the door for you. >You’ve only been in equestria for a short while, but in that time you’ve formed a closer friendship with the ruler than most ponies could say they have in their entire lives. >”Are you ready now?” >Celestia says as you finish putting on socks. “Yup, just let me put on my shoes, then I’ll be good to go.” >You pick up your shoes, and put them on while sitting on the bed. >Once finished, you walk outside the room where Celestia was waiting. >”Ready for some breakfast?” “You know me, Celestia, I’ll never turn down a free meal.” >She laughs slightly. >”Then let’s go.” She says. “It’s this way.” >Celestia starts walking down the corridor, and you follow suit. >After walking for a dozen or so seconds, Celestia stops in front of a large set of doors. “Ah, so this is where it is. I’ll have to remember that for next time.” >”Uhh… no, this is the staircase leading down to the first floor.” >Oh. >Celestia opens the door with her magic and continues downwards. >You follow her. >After a little bit more walking, you two come upon a elegant set of doors guarded by two ponies. >”This, Anonymous, is where the dining hall is.” >The princess opens the door and you both walk inside. >The first thing you notice about this room was just the sheer size of it. It was the biggest room you’ve seen in the castle, length and height wise. >The grand table in the middle seated probably seated 50-75 ponies, but it probably only got that full for special events. >A bunch of big glass windows lined the right wall, the left was the castle kitchen. >At the very end of it, you could see Twilight nose deep inside another book. >Besides Celestia and yourself, she was the only other pony in here. “Alright, I’m going to meetup with Twilight. See you later, Celestia!” >”Goodbye Anonymous.” She says then nods. >You briskly walk up to the other side of the table where Twilight sat. >You got about halfway there until Twilight noticed you. >She sets her open book on the table, before waving to you. >”Hey!” She calls out. >You jog the rest of the way to the chair. >You walk around to the back, then lean down and kiss Twilight.. “Good morning my Princess.” >”I’m glad to see you’re awake. How did you sleep?” “Good… more or less.” >”Oh?” >Twilight puts on a slight look of concern. “Yeah, I’ll talk to you about it later. How did you sleep?” >”I woke up in the middle of the night, and couldn’t get back to bed. I got bored and went down to the archives, hence the book.” >You glanced over at the visibility old tome resting on the table. “Good book?” >”Oh yes! It’s about the mystical forest underneath the griffon kingdom.” >You cock an eye. “Underneath? Like, underground?” >”Yeah. No pony has actually been there in the last century after it was told to be a myth. Thing is, it was described in such great detail in olden day explorer’s journals.” >“This” She holds up the book she was retading. “Is one of those journals. So many things are told in here that seemingly line of with other explorers records, because of that, I don’t think the forest is a myth.” >You chuckle with an amused tone. “Huh, that does sound fascinating.” >You lean back up. “Right now I’m going to head outside to get a breath of fresh air while waiting for the food.” >”Alright, I’ll head outside to join you after this chapter!” “Tell me if you learn anything interesting.” >You say as you start to walk away. >You begin your walk to the door at the other side of the room. >Once there, you open it, and head down the path slightly, just into the garden. >After finding a good place in the garden, you look off into the sunrise, and take a deep breath. >The air was frosty, but sunrise was simply beautiful. >It reminded you of home for some reason. >”Hello Anonymous.” >Your heart skips a beat. >That voice can only belong to one pony. >You turn around and come face to face with the suspected blue alicorn herself. “Hello Luna…” >She smiles. >”We need to talk.”
