Do you need to use the restroom?" "No. I'm fine." >Celestia shushes all of you and looks back to the stage. >Three fucking princesses and they couldn't even get you all good seats? >There aren't even any snacks and it feels uncomfortable being around all of these high class ponies. >Celestia did dress you up in a nice little suit, however. >You swear you were these three Alicorn's play things. >It was nice living the high life in Equestria. >The only drawback was to have to regularly attend events like these. >A piercing sound grabs your attention. >Up on stage, a cello player has snapped one of her strings, sending her bow clattering to the floor. >The music goes on awkwardly. >As in, everyone in the whole damn place is staring at her. >And she's just sitting there staring at her bow on the floor with dead-looking purple eyes. >"Oh... My," Luna breathes. >You chuckle. "Damn. This is good." >The grey pony stands up, sets her cello down and walks toward the side of the stage, clearly not giving a shit. >You begin to laugh and clap. >Until the crowd starts getting loud. >You even hear some boos. >The grey pony stops just before curtain and looks back at the crowd. >Her dead gaze meets yours and you freeze. >She turns away, her silk-like mane obscuring her face >Then exits.     >You sit on your bed folding your clothes like a good little bitch. >Celestia loves cleanliness. >Cadence is in your room, which is pretty common. >She's trying to figure out how you are able to maneuver your fingers to do things. "Who was she?" >Cadence looks up from your hands, "who was who?" >You toss a sock aside. "The cellist who snapped." >Your humor is lost on her. >"Oh! That was, Octavia I believe?" >You carry a pile of socks over to a huge dresser and stuff them inside. "Hmm. Octavia." >You turn and flinch. >Cadence is inches from you and smiling slyly. >"Interested in Octavia?" >Your autistic side wants to call her a b-baka. >Instead, you flush and turn. "It was just a random question, I didn't ask if she was DTF." >Cadence tilts her head, "what is 'DTF'?" >You resist the urge to laugh and go to leave your room. "Nothing. Listen, I have to go. Catch ya later." >She calls out to you, "Anon." >You stop and look back over your shoulder. >Cadence crawls onto your bed and lays down with her sly smile. >"It's kind of my thing to know when a pony, or Human rather, is interested in love matters. So I have some advice." >You stare. >She lays her head down on your pillow and closes one eye. >"Princess Luna gets free tickets." >She rolls over, "I'm just going to nap here, okay?" >You leave your room, closing the door quietly and head to Luna's chambers.     >Luna rests during the day. >She doesn't always sleep however. >Luckily, this is one of those times. >You knock on her huge door. "Luna! You up?" >She opens the door, matching the volume of your voice for no reason. >"Indeed Anonymous Human! We are polishing our most prized of collections!" >You see a pile of moon rocks on her table. "Yeah. Okay. Can I ask you something?" >She extends a wing, "please do come in." >You enter and sit on her massive bed. >She smiles and trots over to her table, picking up a moon rock and staring at it. "Do you know a pony named Octavia?" >Luna rubs a spot on the stone and eyes it, "yes we do, Anonymous. Would you like to stargaze with us tonight?" >She smiles stupidly at you and gently sets down her rock. >Luna is a lot different when no one else is around. >She's far more airy and sporadic with her thoughts when her sister is not near. >Sometimes she can be a little clingy with you and other times she seems to not have time for anything other than... >Well, whatever Luna does when she's alone. "Yes. I'll be there. What I wanted to ask you was if I could score some tickets to the next production that string quartet puts on." >She pokes at a rock. >"We shall see how well our stargazing event turns out, then we may discuss business..."     >Luna is hard to read. >You have stargazed with a her a few times. >It's mostly just watching the night sky atop the castle. >Not much talking. >Tonight however, Luna sits a little closer. >It's cold out, being Autumn. >"The cosmos is most pleasant tonight." >You look up. "Yeah. It looks so big." >There's only about a minute of silence before she speaks again. >"Anonymous. You have been here for quite some time now." "Yeah. Maybe a year?" >She continues staring at the sky with her usual stern look. >"In that time, you have given us a most wonderful companionship and your appreciation of our nights hath softened the heart." >You don't know where this is coming from. >Luna is not always forward with her speech. >She looks over at you, eyes large and reflecting the moonlight. >"Tell us... Would Anonymous perhaps be smitten with one of pony kind?" >You can't help but look away. "I'm interested in someone. I wouldn't say smitten. I'm just curious." >Luna bows down from her perch, moving eye level with you. >Her eyes are excited and dancing with light now. >"Curious about ponies. Interested in... Mares."     "Princess, please. I'm just interested in seeing another performance." >She tilts her head, that wide eyed smile still there. >"The ticket for a favor." "Huh?" >She turns away and looks back at you. >Your eyes can't help but stare straight at her narrow flank, since she is a little higher up than you. >"We shall give you the ticket you seek should you give us a night." >You still don't understand. >And her tail, not being in it's usual ethereal state, is swaying. >She extends her wings. >"Let me be direct. Get on my back Anon. I desire a ride." >This is not something you would have ever expected. >The three princesses teased you every day in some way or another. >It was always innocent flirtation to get you flustered. >Never had you been asked or subject to anything as intimate as... Horseback riding. >And Luna was the last princess you would expect it from. >"Hop on, Anon." >She folds her front legs and now her ass is pushed out more to you. >You bite your lip. "Yes Princess." >With slow deliberate steps, you step around her and grab her side. >She actually makes a horse-like snort and you feel her muscles twitch below your hands. >Careful not to put pressure on her wings, you mount Princess Luna. >"Our apologies for being so unprepared. Though bareback can be... liberating."     >Luna takes off. >You grab her neck for dear life. >The wind whips around you as Luna uses little effort to fly over the side of the castle and toward the ground. "LUUUUNAAAA!" >She slows down, filling her wings with air, and lands silently in a clearing of the woods. >She looks back at you. >"Are you well?" >You nod. >She smiles and begins a slow walk into the woods. >Her wings fold over your legs, holding them in place. >"This will be an enjoyable walk. Look to the sky Anon!" >You look up, gazing at the stars through the trees. "It's nice." >Luna comes to another clearing and stops. >"We will help you gain the attention of the musician, Anon." >Luna plops down into the grass. >You move to get off of her but she holds tight with her wings. >"Please. Stay here." >You stop and let your hands rest on her back. >"Closer..." >Not knowing what to do, you falter. >Luna lays her head on the grass. >"Cold this season is. For... Many moons we- I have desired the warmth of another under the stars where memories of a bitter cold desolation sunk into bone and the void of the starscape was mine alone." >Her words seem to carry on into the woods, flittering under the trees. >"For decades and more it has been mine and... Alone. I have yet to find a more pleasant feeling than sharing my once cold void with you. Do you understand, Anon? Have you listened to my words?" >You lay against her back, wrapping your arms around her neck. "I understand, Luna." >"Please do not forget your Princess of the Night when you go... My Anon."     >The next day, Celestia retrieves you from Luna's room. >You walk beside her, down the hall rubbing sleep from your eyes. >You feel comfortable in your black silk pajamas. >The only kind Luna let you wear in her bed. >It was embarrassing to be each of the princesses personal teddy-human. >Celestia seems more relaxed today. >This is a BAD thing. >She eyes you, "I hope my sister did not keep you up all night. And I won't ask why Cadence slept in your bed alone. But I have something for you, Anon." >You yawn. "Oh?" >"I ask that you change first. Cadence is already out of your room and I asked her to remake your bed." >You sigh. >Fuck. >Dressing during 'Celestia's Anon Time' was always a pain. >Since you had no say in what you wore. >If Luna was your older sister figure and Cadence was your younger sister figure, then Celestia was your mother figure. >And she loved to exercise her rights as surrogate Equestria mother. >You sit on the bed and wait as the princess digs through your personally tailored clothes. >She giggles and titters, excited as ever. >Finally she carries a bundle of clothes to you in her mouth and drops them in your lap. >"This will look very dashing. Go ahead.~" >You sigh and begin to change. >"Don't just change the outer clothing!" >You turn and remove your underwear, quickly throwing on a new pair. >Before she can make her usual quip about your 'cute butt', you speak. "I am not a child." >Celestia's eyes glitter, "and I never said you were. I also never said you couldn't change in the restroom if you so desired." >You give her a flat look. "You are malicious, princess." >She has chosen a pair of black slacks, a white long-sleeve button-up and a black sweater vest with a tie. >"You make me like you more every day, Anon. And you really do look handsome in that outfit."     >Celestia takes you down to the main floor. "What are we doing?" >She adjusts your tie with magic and tries to tame your hair. >"To entertain guests for a nice breakfast." >You raise an eyebrow. "Dignitaries? Twilight Sparkle and her friends?" >She shakes her head. >"Just a few assorted ponies." >You shrug. >Once at the main dining hall, Celestia stops and lightly perks up her mane. >She slaps her flank and grins, "do I still 'have it', Anon?" >You groan. >A guard opens the door for both of you. >The two of you enter and you see ponies gathered around the large table. >They all get up and bow to Celestia. >Smiling, she walks regally up to the table, "please, sit. Let us enjoy a meal." >The ponies sit and a guard pulls out a seat for you next to Celestia. >You sit and Celestia grabs your hand. >"Anon, have you met Octavia?" >Your stomach does a flip. >You turn to where she motions and come face to face with mysterious purple eyes. >Octavia looks blankly at you. >Celestia giggles so that only you can hear, "say hi." >You look Octavia square in the eyes. "Hello. My name is Anon. It's a pleasure to meet you, I really enjoyed your playing." >Octavia looks down at her plate. >"I said no red grapes, servant. I don't like them."
