1. Drury Lane Chapter 16
3. >Oh gawd.
4. >Your arms are still wrapped around Luna's neck, smoke and steam rising from the crater the two of you stand in.
5. >Pinkie Pie stands across from you, the bucket of frosting vomit beside her.
6. >The townsponies are staring at you, unblinking.
7. >They are...
8. >Stunned.
9. >Stunned at the wicked awesome fight sequence you just went through, and at the fact you kissed an inter dimensional princess.
10. "Uh."
11. >Pinkie stares daggers at you.
12. "I thought you were sick."
13. >PINK: "I thought you were trick-or-treating."
14. "I was. Then the fight with the shadow-thing happened."
15. >PINK: "And you kissed princess Luna why?"
16. "Uh."
17. >LUNA: "Uh."
18. >PINK: "You."
19. >LUNA: "Us?"
20. >PINK: "Yes, you."
21. >LUNA: "What-"
22. >PINK: "You don't speak. He does."
23. >LUNA: "Oh."
24. >PINK: "Yeah."
25. >Dear god, what have you done?
26. >You don't know what came over you. One minute you were embroiled in a battle alongside one of the closest ponies you'd ever known, the next you were sucking face with her.
27. >Wait.
28. >WAIT.
29. >IDEA.
30. "Pinkie."
31. >She stares at you, daggers still in her eyes.
32. ":3"
33. >...
34. >PINK: "No."
35. >Sweet jesus this was a nightmare...
36. >TRIX: "Anon!"
37. "WHAT?!"
38. >TRIX: "Did you try the kitty face?"
39. "YES."
40. >TRIX: "Did it work?"
41. "NO."
42. >TRIX: "Fuck."
43. >You and Luna separate and try to explain what just happened.
44. >It's kind of hard to do that when your special somep0ny got to the fight late and only saw the kissing bit.
45. >Pinkie continues to stare at the two of you, her expression dead and cold.
46. >This... this was going to be awkward.
47. >You turn to Luna, your face scratched and battle worn, and she smiles at you.
48. >That smile always seemed to give you confidence.
49. >Taking a deep breath, you decided to do something you almost never did.
50. >You thought this shit out.
51. "Pinkie? I know this looks really, really bad. So I'll be completely honest with you when it comes to questions. Okay?"
52. >PINK: "Were you just kissing the Princess?"
53. >OH FUCK LIE TO HER
54. >LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE
55. "Yes."
56. >THAT'S NOT A LIE YOU ASSHOLE THAT'S THE TRUTH UUUUUUUGHH
57. "But it's not what you think! It's not because I love her or anything, it's because of all the adrenaline, the heat of battle, the-... the..."
58. >Luna looks to you, her expression pained, but understanding.
59. >She'd given you that same look when she looked into your mind before helping you come back to Equestria.
60. >When she learned about your feelings for Pinkie.
61. >Your face contorts into a frown, then a smile, then nothing really.
62. >This was a lot harder than you thought.
63. "I mean... I DO have feelings for Luna, that's a given. But I didn't mean to kiss her, I was just... I... wow this is difficult."
64. >The townsponies begin to murmur around you, curios about all of this.
65. >LUNA: "Perhaps we should continue this discussion in... private? We worry about prying eyes."
66. >PINK: "Who said you got to talk?"
67. >LUNA: "I... excuse me?"
68. "Pinkie, come on, don't be like that to-"
69. >PINK: "I'll be however I want to her, thank you very much. Maybe you were too busy locking lips with her to get the part of all this that says that I'm MAD."
70. >You shut up, and so does Luna.
71. >Dear god this was bad.
72. >You try to regain control of all this, but it's just not working out the way you want it to.
73. >Then she asks it.
74. >PINK: "Do you... do you still love her?"
75. "What? No, I-..."
76. >You stop.
77. "I... yes... yes I still do.."
78. >Luna swings her head to you, her eyes wide at your response.
79. >Pinkie remains expressionless, but for a split-second you can see lips quiver.
80. >And that... that's when her hair deflates.
81. "...Pinkie?"
82. >PINK: "Fine."
83. >She stands from where she was sitting and picks up her frosting bucket, and turns around.
84. "Pinkie wait."
85. >She starts to walk away back to the bakery.
86. >You run up to her and cut her off, but her eyes are emotionless to you.
87. >PINK: "If you love her so much then you can have her. I won't stop you."
88. "Pinkie please, it's not like that. I just... I just need to think this through, alright?"
89. >PINK: "Think things through?"
90. "Yeah."
91. >She laughs a little, then gives you a hard stare.
92. >PINK: "The Anon I love doesn't think things through. He's brash. Impulsive."
93. "But-"
94. >PINK: "If you know where I can find that Anon, then please point him out."
95. >You can't say anything.
96. >You're at a loss for words.
97. >PINK: "Because at the moment, I can't seem to find him."
98. >With that, Pinkie shoves past you and walks home.
99. >You stand there, dumbstruck.
100. >Your heart feels... what's the word?
101. >Broken?
102. >Cliche, but adequate.
103. >You look down to your feet, kicking a pebble or two, and turn back around to Luna, Trixie, and Hush.
104. >Hush is still in her human form.
105. >HUSH: "...dad?"
106. "...give me a minute..."
107. >You walk back into the tiny crater you and Luna made once you finished the fight, and slump down in the center of it.
108. >Trixe trots up to you, and places a hoof on you shoulder.
109. >Rubbing the space in between your eyes, you take a few deep breaths.
110. >Luna stands a few feet from you, her face hidden behind her mane.
111. >LUNA: "We... we did not mean to complicate things between you and Pinkie Pie, Anonymous."
112. "It's not your fault. Besides, she's right. I need to figure all this out."
113. >LUNA: "Would... do you want us to leave? We understand if you-"
114. "No."
115. >Luna perks her ears up.
116. "No, stay. Please."
117. >Luna looks conflicted, but smiles and nods.
118. >LUNA: "Very well. We shall quickly devise a place of rest for you in the mountains."
119. "Like the one back home?"
120. >Luna nods, then stares at you.
121. >You catch it too.
122. >You called the other Equestria "home."
123. >You've never felt this conflicted in your life.
124. >Ever.
125. >LUNA: "Yes... like the one back home. We will return shortly."
126. >With that, she flies off into the distance, towards the snowy mountains of Equestria.
127. >You'd give anything for some zany antics.
128. >But, sadly, it didn't look like that was happening tonight.
129. >You look over Hush.
130. "Sorry for ruining your first Nightmare Night, Hush. I kind of fucked up."
131. >Hush walks over to you and gives you a hug.
132. "Thanks squirt."
133. >TRIX: "Will you be alright?"
134. >You give a short laugh.
135. "Maybe. I don't know."
136. >Trixie sits next to you, and removes her hat.
137. >You take it into your hands ans look at all the stars on it.
138. >Seems like no matter where you ended up, stars seemed to follow.
139. >TRIX: "Who do you think you'll end up with?"
140. "What?"
141. >Trixie give a stern look.
142. "It's just a little abrupt to ask me that, don't you think?"
143. >TRIX: "It was a little abrupt for you to kiss Luna in front of Pinkie, don't you think?"
144. "Fuck off."
145. >TRIX: "Glad to see you're still slightly yourself."
146. >You grunt and rest your head in the palm of your hand, sighing.
147. >TRIX: "Anon?"
148. "...yeah?"
149. >TRIX: "You never answered my question."
150. "Oh... right."
151. >You look back to Sugarcube Corner.
152. >You loved her so much.
153. >The flap of wings turns your attention to Luna.
154. >You can hear her humming a song as she comes back.
155. >You know that song.
156. >The dark alicorn walks up to you, and bumps you with her snout.
157. >You turn back to Trixie, and give a weak smile.
158. "You know how they say you're supposed to fall in love with the girl next door?"
159. >Trixie nods.
160. "The girl next door happened to be on the moon."
161. >You look back to Luna, and nod, getting carefully on her back.
162. >And with that, the two of you fly off into the mountains.
163. >Hopefully, you would have figured all this out in a few days.
164. >Hopefully.
165. >Until then, you rested your head on Luna's back, her ehterial mane shrouding you in a cloak of dusk and stars.
166. >And as you two flew, you sang along with her.
