1. Slow Friday.

I, Black Stripe, was born on a cold evening nearly twenty three years ago to two wonderful parents. Both brainiacs who wanted nothing more than to raise a fellow intellectual. Cloud Thrower and Mist Flicker raised me from birth to the legal age of adulthood in Equestria. Throughout my life I maintained a sort of book-worm state preferring literature to friendship. While I did have friends they were more or less just other class mates and I never went out of my way to be with them.

Generally I am a calm pony. I do drink, probably a good amount more than I should. I am an average, shy sort of, unicorn. I was never one for powerful magic but I do know some pretty powerful magic and can use it with a fair accumulation of my skills. Now, onto my appearance. I usually wear a nice black coat and white under shirt over my light gray body. My name is Black Stripe, and the reasoning behind this name is obvious if you see me. From my forehead to the tip of tail, there exists a black stripe. My mane is longer than most of my gender, isn't usually well kept and is rather soft.

Since I love books to no end one occupation that stuck out among the rest was, if you haven't guess it yet: Book Store owner. I took a loan from my parents and bought a large building in Canterlot. It was and usually still is a success. I buy my books in bulk and usually have a good eye and sales pitch ready for the top sellers. My service to my regulars and non-regulars alike has earned me a popularity among the Canterlot community. I simply have fair prices, treat everypony with respect, and try to be usually well mannered.

The building I bought is a three story stone structure with marble floors and an atrium style entrance with the stairs dead center in view. The stairs go up unto the second floor and the second floor has a very nice view of the first since its not a full floor but basically a squarish outline with books all around the walls. The third floor is only accessed from my office on the second. I live on the third since strangely enough it has the only other bathroom (besides the first floor) and has a gas oven already installed on some little island like kitchen set up with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The third floor has three rooms besides the kitchen. They are as follow: living room, master bed/master bath, and a dining room. All this does equate to a swanky little flat for me to live in. (Don't question my use of the word "Swanky"!)

Anyhow. One ghost town like Friday I awoke with a fit of migraines. It was a cold winter day and the only ponies out were new paper colts shouting to anypony they saw about the Manehattan stock exchange's large fire that has the place closed for repairs. I kept the shop closed for a bit and laid in bed until about ten in the morning when my migraines passed away and simply left me with a head ache and irritable attitude that only a stiff drink could solve.

Once I was out of bed and manning my little desk to the right hoof side of the entrance, I was dressed and somewhat groom. Sitting with a book in front of me and a bottle of scotch (Which I would simply swig from time to time) to my right on the mahogany desk. At noon the bottle was half empty and I was feeling slightly better. I was on chapter 6 of a book about how to possibly build space-born vessels. That feat seemed impossible since in Equestria we have no real way to gain enough upwards propulsion to get a twenty tone vessel past the sky. Yet the author vowed it could and would eventually be done with out magical assistance. (Yeah right.)

Anyway, when the grand father clock behind my desk struck one my bottle of scotch was running low and I was fairly pleased and had just finished the book. I decided that there was no point in being open since a bone chilling cold winter day decided to freeze my customers in their homes. I got up to not only put away the illogical book but also to change the sign and lock the doors. After putting the book in the "Sci-fi" section of my store I was about to lock the door when Princess Luna, my strangest but favorite regular, knocked on the glass door and greeted me through the glass with a smile.

I, of course, sprang into a happy state of mind and open the door. Returning her smile and shivering once I felt wind from outside on my face. I closed the door behind her and the just looked to the Princess with my "Good-to-see-you" smile.

"Good afternoon, friend." Luna said, her voice echoing in the emptiness as she went about warming up in my book store. "Did the chill kill your customers? This place is a graveyard with a drunk it." she said playfully as she nodded towards my nearly empty scotch bottle.

"Maybe you can ask your sister to bring the sun a few million miles closer." I said with an echoing chuckle.

Luna grew quickly a bit shy as she thought something over. She seemed a tad distant from there and onwards. As we made a bit of small talk she seemed to be per-occupied with thought. We talked about new books, recently read books, etc. (We talk about books a lot since we're both avid readers.) However after a while she brought up something else entirely.

"....so the book is very grim and the author uses dark language and details to boost this. Also....umm............" She didn't seem to want to make eye contact now. She rubbed behind her ears and seemed to blink at an abnormal rate. She was nervous. "I have a request for you Black Stripe.."

I simply grinned at her and asked. "What is it?"

"Would you like to.....maybe go out to a show or restaurant on a............" She gulped and her voice cracked as she said the word. "...date?"

My grin faltered but did not fade as I answered her.

2. Excellent Partner.

With a faltered grin I said, unfazed by the nature of the question and the obligations that followed. "Of course."

She smiled a bit and added. "Since it's dead here, we could go now." She suggested. Her normal smile returning.

As I nodded and then went behind my desk to get a small pocket sack of bits. As we left for the nearest open restaurant with heating, I felt a sensation of unease soar through my brain. It made me nervous as I realized I was on a date with the Princess of the moon. An individual who if she wished could squash me like a bug. Yes I may be able to hold her back for a few second.....ah who am I kidding? In a magical duel she was toss me into a black hole...

Anyhow, we left the store rather quickly. As we exited as took a set of keys from the behind the counter with me. Once outside I locked the door behind me, I hid the keys with an invisibility spell and used a bit of a glue like substance I had put on it long ago to stick them right above the door. We began walking north towards the castle. The town was dead except for fellow shop owners such as myself and the occasional brave individual who stepped out for a walk in the bone chilling cold of winter.

Luna wore a light black coat with her cutie mark stitched across the back. She had her hood up besides the side of her face, as I walked to her right, I saw her long horn as well. As I thought over which of the the two of us would win in magical dueling she attempted to make contact with me.

"It's quite cold, no?" She says, a blank tone attempting to mask some thought. I'm usually pretty good at catching that kind of masking.

I didn't blurt out "Something on your mind?" when I picked up that mask of a sentence. No. I went along with it to see if Luna would bring up whatever was on her mind. I said in a cheerfully dull tone "Yes and I keep myself warm with my hatred of it. Well and this jacket..." I said with a shrug. Luna gave a slight barely audible laugh.

Then she says. "You don't seem very hate-filled." Before I can respond, however, she gestures a hoof towards a small cafe in a red brick building. It was one story tall and had a fire place judging by the small smoke stack coming protruding from its roof. It's facade was decorated with the words "Mixer's coffee" in a well-done white paint. There was a large window letting passing by potential customers see the happiness of the current customers within. Quite genius, that sort of design is. There was a small wooden door to the right of the window.

"We could have a coffee?" Luna suggested with a slight grin.

I nod in agreement and as we make our way towards the little cafe; I could spy a few words, as we grow closer, beneath the "Mixer's Coffee." they were as follow: "+Bakery, and donuts."

"And donuts" I added. Luna and I share a smile as I walk a bit faster and opened the door in time for it to receive the Princess. I wave my hoof inwards towards the main room of the cafe as she enters and we share another smile.

We enter the cafe and I shut the door behind us. I approach the counter with the cash register, Luna lagging behind me slightly as she was smiling and nodding at the few customers enjoying coffees and bread. They greet her with "Good day, Princess." or some similar socially acceptable greeting.

There's a mare behind the counter. She's a young bright yellow unicorn. Her mane is blue and comes down around the right side of her head in a gentle fall. I can see her cutie mark on her right side, its a small piece of bread that appears to be freshly baked. She smiles at me and greets the Princess (who's now up at the counter on my left) with a fine and well-emotioned "Hi, what can I get ya'?"

I'm first to speak between the both of us. "Black coffee and a glazed donut, please" I say in an oddly foal-like state. I always love a good donut, so that phrase (Minus the black coffee, that was added at age 16) has become a second nature sort of phrase.

The mare nods at me and looks to Luna for an order. "Black coffee and buttered toast, if you don't mind." Luna requests with a smile.

The mare nods and writes our order on a small note pad. "Just take a seat at any table and I'll bring your order in a minute or two." She says with a smile gesturing to the many empty tables.

The cafe, besides the wooden counter with many shelves and a few counters behind it, was mostly composed of small, stone framed, glass-circular tables. There are about twenty or so in the main room, six of which were filled already, Luna and I walk to one near the front-east facing window of the cafe. I sit on my rump across from her and smile. She smiles faintly but it's clear to me that whatever clouded her mind earlier had returned.

I notice again and my smile fades and I raise an eyebrow. "Something on your mind?" I ask in a gentle voice.

She looks at me with slight discomfort as she begrudgingly answers, making vein attempts to get me to ignore her mental plight. "Oh it's nothing. It doesn't really concern you....well actually it does but not specifically you. Just something Celestia said to me this morning."

I ignore her attempt to make me over look it and press on. "Oh yeah? What was it?" I ask.

Before Luna can answer the mare from the counter brings us our orders. She sets before me a coffee in a large white mug and a light tan shiny donut on a napkin. Then she sets before Luna a clone of the mug in front of me and a large piece of buttered toast on napkin. Before trotting away she smiles and says "Enjoy!".

After the kind mare left Luna look back at me and seemed unable to speak, but forced herself to utter the next words. "Celestia said I should...date.She said that I've had about three years to re-adjust to the world and that it's high time I start putting myself out there again." Luna says her voice growing slightly shaking as she speaks. She pauses, sighs and says. "That's why I came to visit you today. When she said that you came to mind. I couldn't help but think of my good friend and I figured you'd make an excellent......'partner' for me to date. And so I must ask: would you like to be my dating partner?"

I can't believe what I've just been offered. The chance to date a Princess! How often is this offered? I stutter slightly before I answer her. "Y-y-yes...of course." I say with a gentle nod.

3. Dear, it's cold outside... Mature Content Detected!

I sip my coffee with a light grin as Luna breathes a sigh of relief. She seemed relieved; to accuratly put her relif into words take this simile: it's as if she had been trapped in a room with a bomb and she had cut the right wire, on a guess.

"You really don't know how nervous I was about this moment. May I come to that side of the table and sit a bit closer to you until my heart slows a bit?" She asks shifting a bit on her rump as she readies herself for my answer.

I don't hesitate as I say "Sure." I sip my coffee and take a bite of my warm donut as Luna rises, then moves over to my said. I offer her a bite of my donut by holding it up for her. She leans down takes a little bite then plops down on her rump next to me.

"Thanks." Luna says as she swallows the little bite of donut. "That's a very good donut. Remind to get a pack of those before we leave."

I nod as I take a large bite out of the donut.

"So.....what should we do now?" Luna says looking to me as she sips her coffee.

I down my coffee in a final gulp and instead of speaking. I wrap a hoof around her. I catch her grin at me and she hums. "Thank you, Black Stripe."

____________________________

Through the rest of the lunch we make small talk but the contents of which were uninteresting to say the least. Instead of returning to my shop we simply walked to the castle since it was closer and we'd probably shiver less since the taller structure offers cover from the wind. When we entered the castle Luna and I went to her bed room. The guards all gave me odd looks. One even thought it was necessary to apply his threatening warning to me: "If you make any sudden moves towards the Princess's rear, I'll rip something personal off of you.". Yeah, you touch me there....we'll see who gets what ripped off.

Anyhow, Luna and I were sitting in her room thinking of something to do...

Luna looks out a large rectangular window across the room from the fire place, a large pack of twelve donuts was sitting on the alicorn sized bed to her left against the wall. I'm sitting to the left hoof side of the fire place, poking at the fire with an iron poker while browsing Luna's book collection. Most, if not all, of her books had the "Black Books" logo on a little sticker at the base of the spine. It was a jet-black square with "B. Books" sketched in cursive. It appeared as if I was Luna's only source for new reading material. Sadly I had read everything on these shelves at one point or another when they had existed upon my shelves.

"Well, it's snowing. Quite a lot of it already, I'm afraid." Luna says grimly. She steps away from the window and turns to see me getting up to leave.

"I should probably head home before it starts to look like the arctic." I say as I began to slowly walk for the door.

I open it to only have it close before I can place a hoof outside. I turn my head back as far it would go to see Luna just out of the corner of my eye holding it closed with magic. I turn and state "I need to get through the door, dear."

Luna approaches, still holding the door closed and asks me with he most gentle and well, cute eye expression "Why don't you stay?" she asks reaching a hoof out, combing it through my mane.

My first thought is something like 'Oh sweet Celestia! What is she getting at?!'. As I speak out the next words I struggle to contain my nerves as they toss red flags at my brain like spears. "Well....I uhh....need to keep the store safe from looters. Ya' know those dang hoodlums and their dastardly ways!

Luna smiles a kind and caring smile. Tilting her head 30 degrees to my right and leaned a bit closer. "Dear, it's cold outside....." she gives my mane a second once over and then continues. "...you'll stay here. My sheets are top bit, we'll be warmer than any tropical summer day even when the temperature reaches the negatives. And your store is safe. You locked it and hid your key well enough."

I return her smile faintly and try one last time. "I really should keep my store in check. I...umm.....left my money safe open! Oh how stupid of me! I'd better get home before I'm robbed!" I say as I try to open the door. Suddenly, Luna lunges at me pulling my head towards hers. My ear inches from her mouth.

"Forgive me for being so.....rude about this.....but I......I need this. Now." She whispers. Her words sharper than any knife or dagger I've ever encountered in my many years in this world. She pulls me back, away from the door quickly. Putting our noses together, still pulling me away. I meet her seductive eyes with my panic-filled ones and she cracks off a clever line.

"You're quiet. Cat got your tongue? No? The Princess wants it. Bad." She says as she guides me to the bed. Our noses constantly pressed against each other. Her alluring eyes still eternally fixed upon mine. As she lifts me effortlessly and lays me on the soft velvet-like fabric of the bed. I'm on my back as she climbs onto me. Our bellies touching she looks down into my eyes and smirks. I hear the door lock. I gulp down a little bit of saliva in my mouth.

I'm shaking as she sits atop my stomach, stroking my face. I'm sprawled out, unable to stop her from bucking my body every which way she pleases. She was taking her time, however. Tenderizing her meat before cooking it. Or maybe adding condiments to her sandwich.....oh you get the point. Stop giving me that look I said "Condiments." not whatever you're thinking.

She runs her right fore hoof down my left cheek. Following my natural coat down in a vertical line segment. Going down my neck parallel to my wind pipe. Down my chest, just over my million-beat-per-second heart. She slows as her hoof glides over it, then stops and I can feel her examining my heart beat.

"You're nervous." She states, a sly smile dancing upon her lips. "You'll have to forgive me for me for doing this just minutes into our relationship. I've awaited an opportunity like this one for so long, so many sleepless night I could never bear to go into detail over. I would lay right here...where you are. Maybe with a nice romance novel; I'd replace the main characters names with ours as their steamy love enveloped them in that dirty dance of passion. Now, I sit atop the very item that generated those sleepless nights. Ready to pounce like a lion on the scared gazelle." She continues her glide. "Don't be scared or nervous my little gazzele. I have a feeling we'll both enjoy this." Passing my belly and going lower. Towards my stallion-hood. As I feel the soft touch of her on my most personal area I'm actually relieved. It's an intoxicating sensation to feel her soft touch on one of my sensitive body parts. I let out a sigh as she runs a hoof down the shaft.

She smiles at me as I let my head fall back and I relax. My heart beat slows slightly ,but stays at an elevated pace. I force my head back up to make eye contact with Luna. I see her smirk at me and catch a hint of anxiety in her voice "Bigger than I would have expected. I assumed the winter chill would have had you a bit smaller even after being exposed to the fire."

I meet Luna's alluring stare and she smiles wickedly at me. "Now the fun can begin." She whispers to me, taking me in a ginger kiss. I feel her tongue force it's way past my lips and explore my mouth. It's slimy, kind of like having a scale-less fish in my mouth, just it tastes...pretty good. The sensation of my tongue rolling against hers gives me some.....sexual satisfaction. It arouses and entices me. Makes me want more. As Luna kisses me her eyes shut and both of her fore hooves come up and wrap around my head. I'm tempted to close my eyes as well, but before I do, my eyes catch movement. I see Luna's tail and rump rise into the air above my erecting foal-maker. My eyes widen as I realize what she's preparing to do. Before I can say or do anything: she slams her groin down onto my John enveloping my part in hers. I see her cheeks go bright red and hear her give a hum of surprise, her face contorts as she enjoys it. She breaks our kiss.

Released from the kiss; I let out a long sigh as waves of sexual pleasure soar throughout my body. My entire body shudders as my groin sends a message to my brain. It wants more.

Before my pleasured mind can even begin to process the amount of desire that filled it, Luna pulled back, pulling my pecker almost fully out of her. As the first bit of cold air touches my shaft she slams down onto it again. I watch as she loses her composure and lets out a loud moan.

"Ahhh! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...!" She breathless exclaims. "I-I've never done this before.....e-except with......ahhhh......artificial parrrrtttnnneeers." She says dragging out each word as she shakes violently. Absorbed by her own arousal just as much as myself.

"I'm you're first? What in the...?" I say when I'm able to sort-of compose "You're a thousand times my age and I'm the first? Wow. I'm n-n-n-not sure whether to be surprised, ar-ar-ar-ar-oused, or...what are you doing?" I ask as she plants her fore hooves on either side of my head.

"Shut up and just keep going, okay?" Luna says darkly, I must have touched a nerve.

"Sorry." I whisper. I pull her a bit closer to me and thrust into her. She lets out an echoing moan and pulls my head into hers, taking me into a slobbery kiss. I wrap my fore hooves around her torso and then thrust again into her body. She near-screams into my mouth as I pull back and thrust again. Soon we've developed a near song like rhythm for the thrusts.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.....thump thump......moan...........thump, thump, thump, thump......thump, thump........moan, moan.

After a few minutes of basic humping, Luna stops me as I reach an early climax. She uses magic to lift me into the air above the bed. As she did this my.....I've tried to vary my terms for pecker and use the wittier ones.....but my yogurt gun decided to fire. Sadly at my height above the bed it was able to get a bit of range and hit Luna in the face and mane. She let out a cry of surprise and must've swallowed some of it, because following her yelp-sounding surprise came a gulp and then a mass of coughing.

While hovering a foot or two above her I look down at the mess on her face. She's a mess to say the least. Unable to open one eye due to blockage, unable to open her mouth, or breathe in threw her left nostril.

"Not you're fault." She hums trying to keep her mouth closed. "This stuff tastes like fish."

Author's Note

Please due keep in mind. I am not much of a clop writer, but hope to improve as time progresses.

4. Wet Princess.

Luna doesn't seem upset now. After we had our spraying incident. I cleaned her off with a towel from her bathroom that bore her cutie mark. After cleaning her mane out the best I could she told me to go into the hall to order the guards to bring us some coffee.

I step out into the hall outside the bed room. I close the door quickly, mostly the save Luna the embarrassment of being seen with my juices in her mane. Since I was unable to get that out with a towel. One of the guards cracks a faint smile at me and I realize: they heard us.

There were three in all in the hallway. The one with the smile starts laughing, but attempts to hold it in and fails. Both of his counterparts join in with chuckles and grins. I'm fully aware of this and ask. "Is something...funny?"

"No. Sir!" The one that smiled says, getting his composure back. The others follow suite.

I point to one near the stairs to my right. "You. Go get the princess and I some coffee, just black coffee. Now." I order sternly, then retreating into the bed room again. Luna is no where to be seen, however I can hear the bath water running from beyond a half-closed mahogany door. I walk to the door and fully open it. Inside, Luna is scrubbing her mane beneath a light spray of water. This sparks a bit of guilt in me.

"I'm....uhhhh......sorry I....got it in your mane." I say apologeticly.

Luna takes her head out from beneath the spray and smiles at me. "I suppose it was my fault, instead of just pulling you out of me I lifted you up. Besides, it was kinda of........erotic I suppose." Luna says with a smile, then she frowns and holds her mane beneath the shower again. "I just wish this goo was easy to get out of hair." she says with a light laugh.

I'm relived, and let out a small laugh as well.

Luna pulls her head out of the shower a second time. "Why don't you come join me. I still need to apply soap to the rest of my body." She says, gesturing for me to come to her.

I can't say I wasn't enticed at all, but I was still tired from the sex just minutes before this. "Sadly I can't. I think I'm gonna try and grab some Z's on your bed, if you don't mind."

Luna smirks then says "Your loss, my friend. I'll come join you in a few minutes. I'll be wet and probably slippery if this moisturizing body wash does it job well enough." She squirts a bit of clear blue liquid on her right hoof from a purple bottle that had been on the flat rim of the tub.

"Alright, Luna." I say walking out of the bathroom and to the bed. I swiftly proceed to fall onto the semi-damp bed, wrap my self in the wet covers and begin to sleep.

____________________________________

The first thing I usuassly do when I wake up after a nap or sleep in general: is wonder where I am. (That is: if I'm not in my bed). After that I usually grumble a bit and if I have no where to go: I attempt to return to sleep. However, if I wake up a few minutes after falling asleep to some moist, slick, warm body pressing itself against mine....well actually that's never happened before so this is a first.

I wake up to hear Luna's gentle humming in my right ear. I can feel a moist stomach pressed against my back and feel a set of wet hooves hugging me as I try to rest. Sadly, the cold water that clung to her woke me up.

I raise my head slightly and speak out: "Where am I?"

"You're with me, Luna, dear. Just rest if you like." She whispered quietly as she pulled the blanket up to our necks. I can feel a bit of warm breath in my ear.

I open my eyes and roll over make eye contact with Luna. She smiles at me. "How does a slow day at work end in me having sex with princess?" I ask as she starts to run one fore hoof through my mane while the other remained wrapped around my torso.

"I'm not sure. Luck maybe." Luna says. "You seem to be getting very lucky today." she grins at me and attempts to take me in a kiss, but I stop her on the spot.

I frown slightly, still a tad aroused from earlier, but I'm able to force out the next horrid few words. "Lets....just slow things down a bit for the time."

Luna's grin fades quicker than a rain drop falling but in the blink of an eye she had a determined look in her eyes. "You can try and slow me down but every chance I get will be spent attempting to get you again."

I laugh, however soon realize she's serious.

"I'm going to have you. We may take it a bit slow as you wish, but I will have my way. I cannot emphasize that enough' She says stroking my mane and attempting to pull me in for a kiss. Before I react however, she simply kisses my cheek and then lays her head against my mine.

As I begin to drift off to sleep again my last thought is what Luna had said. " 'I'm going to have you.' " something about that last little tid bit got to me for some reason. I am forced to wonder what methods she'll employ to 'get me'.

5. "Can you do that again?"

After waking up the next day I went back to my store with Luna. I hadn't insisted she come along for my daily dribble of a job, she just sort of followed me. Today wasn't as cold as yesterday , but was still cold enough to allow the snow to remain. When we arrived at my store after a silent walk I found that I hadn't been robbed. Which is, of course, good.

The doors were unlocked and my trusty little red sigh read "Open". I sat behind the mahogany counter and doodled on the edge of some petition I was suppose to ask ponies to sign. Something about an old tree that's going to be cut down. Luna sat beside me and flipped through a small book about recent history. She had chosen one that covered history over the last one thousand years. Customers had started pool in; by about nine in the morning there were nearly sixty ponies inside (Hey, its a big store). Most were surprised to see the Princess, but being lost in her book she'd dismiss them with a wave and half-hearted "Hello" or "Good morning". Then they'd give me a curious facial expression and sometime, the stallions at least, would let off a chuckle as they walked away.

Luna barely raises her head from the book as she asks. "What is with all the strange chuckles and laughs?"

I look to my right and smile at her as she barely makes eye contact with me "Just some ponies using their imaginations."

Luna shrugs and dives back into her book. I smile and go back into mine.

Luna looks up from her book again. "Psst!"

I look up from my book and look at her. "What?"

"I said 'PSST!'" Luna says. "Next time one of the customers gives us a chuckle and a strange look, we should kiss. Like....really really kiss."

I laugh and nod. "Yeah, you know what...lets do that. It should be funny."

It took a little while before another customer approached us. I was deep in reading when it happened. I was on the chapter of my book were the butler wakes up next to his previously living employer while clutching a bloody hammer. Suddenly I heard a 'Good Morning' from Luna then some chuckling as I felt my head get jerked away from the book and a tongue thrust into my mouth. I close my eyes and move my tongue around with the one in my mouth. I opened one eye and look to my left at he shocked customer and laugh into Luna's mouth.

She laughs back into mine. Then we open our eyes fully, meet eyes and laugh. The kiss is broken the instant we start laughing. After a few minutes we stopped laughing and simply set down our books and cuddled up against each other behind the counter. We resumed reading now physically closer. The butler panics and tries to revive the long dead ex-employer. A customer approaches the counter and she asks. "Can you do that again?"

Luna and I look up with our eyes like giant white dinner plates.

________________________________________________

Many hours after that awkward moment we had retreated to my home above the store at closing time and sat at my small wooden dinner table. I had prepared us two salads for dinner, Luna had brewed up some hay-shakes and added a teeny-weeny amount of rum, I assumed she figured I wouldn't notice. However, while she was adding it I happen to look over from my work at the salad bowl. I didn't bother to say anything and just smiled to myself at the time.

Now with my salad and rum and hay shake in front of me I look across the table at the beautiful princess who decided to sleep with me just the night before. "I hope you're fine with a salad that lacks tomatoes, I hate the ruddy things and don't keep any in my home."

"You hate tomatoes? As do I!" Luna exclaimed a bright smile coming about on her face. "W- I mean, I was quite pleased to see you didn't add any." She stabbed a bit of ranch covered salad with her silver-salad fork and looked up at me. "I assumed you were out of those ugly little red weeds." Luna shoveled a fork-full of salad into her mouth and got a bit of ranch on her lips without noticing.

I grin at Luna as I chew on some ranch covered lettuce and croutons from my plate. As I swallow I prepare to speak, after wiping my face I've prepared what I am going to say. "Luna, your very cute with a little ranch on your lips." I say with a polite and joyful smile.

"Wha-oh my!" She near-shouts as she levitates a napkin to her lips and wipes them vigorously. "Thank you, dear." She said with a bright smile towards me. She quickly drops the smile in exchange for a mundane half-smile half-frown.

"No problem." I say at first not noticing the new look of troubling thought. Once I took notice I frown as I being to accumulate thoughts of my own, wondering about her thoughts. Thoughts within thoughts? No, wait: thoughts ABOUT thoughts. Quite odd, but nonetheless my thoughts were of her thoughts. "Something on your mind?" I ask with a slight frown playing along my lips. I look down at my plate of salad and scoop more of the salad onto my fork. I move the fork up, it covered with lettuces, ranch, and many other things, to my mouth and dumped the contents onto my tongue.

"I'm.......aroused." Luna says with a quizzical look about her.

6. "Sorry" Mature

"Excuse me?" I ask nearly choking on salad as Luna puts a little more salad into her mouth.

She grins slyly at me after swallowing. "Were you not paying attention? Well then I'll repeat myself." She clears her throat. "I. Am. Aroused." She stabs the last large bit of her salad and runs it through some of the surplus ranch that had pooled in little puddles on her plate. Then lifts her fork to her mouth and begins to chew the last of her plate of salad. Before the fork goes in she says. "What should we do about that?"

I sit across the table from her and sip on my rum and hay shake. "Ummmmmmmmm....." I say setting the shake down. "I'm-"

She stops me. "You know exactly what I think we should do." she says with a wink as I nearly choke on the last of my salad, but it safely makes it down my throat.

I weakly smile at Luna and nod in return. "Sh-shall I put up the rest of the salad?" I ask pointing to the big bowl of salad between our plates.

Luna nods at me. I get up to take the bowl and our plates and silver-ware away. I dumped what was left of the salad in the bowl into a large plastic container, then put a matching plastic lid on it. The silverware flew to the sink just behind our plates. I sent the plastic container ,full of a lunch for Luna and me, to my stainless steel one door refrigerator. I opened the door and set the plastic salad container on the top shelf next to a gallon jug of milk and a sandwich I had made a day before. As I shut the door of the fridge I turn around and was about to talk when a pair of lips attached to mine. I panicked slightly, my heart beat accelerated, and my eyes widened but then I quickly realized this was more or less normal for a dating couple and was able to calm myself slightly.

I gently push Luna away after a good thirty or forty seconds then say "Let's pick this up in the bedroom."

"Is your bed big enough?" She asks looking around for the bedroom.

"Yes it is."I say with a smile as I guide her to a door just besides the fridge. I open and step in to hold it open for her.

"What a gentlecolt!" She exclaims. "Best to reward those manners in anyway possible." She says as she walks to the bed just on opposite side of the bedroom as from the door. She lays down on the dark blue sheets and rest her head against the pillows near the head of the bed. She rolls onto her back and then says. "Oh, Black Stripe, where hath thou gone?"

I'm confused now and look at her quizzically.

She looks at me from her resting position and says. "Well? Get that toosh over here!"

I smile faintly and approach the bed then jump on top of it and walk until I'm right over Luna. I look down at her and smile. "Oh hi." I joke as I look down at the Princess sprawled out beneath me. "So uhhh....the weather's......mild." I say bashfully.

"Oh shut up and kiss me." Luna says with a giggle.

I oblige happily and bend my head down and plant my lips against hers. Luna slips her tongue up into my mouth and I feel a hoof against the back of my head. I'm pressed against her further. Luna hums and breathes rapidly through her nose, I break away the kiss and Luna stares fiercely at me. She grips my body tightly and rolls us over. Now on the right hand side of the bed, I lay beneath the princess for the second time in my life, she looks at me like I'm a gazelle beneath the claws of a tiger. I look back at Luna's tail and see it gradually rise. As her tail rises I prepare myself for what is to come.

Luna smiles wildly at me and drops her groin onto mine. Luna's eyes close tightly, her face contorts, and she lets out a gasp followed by a moan. I let my head fall back against the bed and exhale rapidly as my heart rate increases sevenfold. Luna leans her head down and kisses my neck as I try to catch my breath. She kisses from the base of my neck up to my lips. Her pelvic region starts to develop a rhythm while we kiss. The light thump my bed makes as she slams into me reminds me of marching drums.

Luna continues to hump me until she lets out a breathless moan and pulls me out of her. I'm left on my back, breathing like I had run a mile or someone had run a mile with my lungs tied to their hooves. "Wow."

"We-we're....not......done.......just y-yet" She says taking rapid inhales and exhales.

I to get my head off the bed by balancing the upper portion of my body on my fore hooves. As I meet Luna's eyes she crawls over me once again and puts one hoof over my chest. "Down boy." She jokes as she nudged me back down. "Relax, my lovable companion."

I obey happily and lay back with my head on the pillow. Luna hovers over me for a short time, she stared into my eyes as if she was evaluating me. I simply stared right back unable to speak; we stayed like this for a minute then she came in close and kissed my cheek then began to move backward on the bed until her head was about equal with my pecker.

Most of Luna had left my field of vision from the relaxed position, but I still saw a waving mane from the bottom of my eye ball. At first I felt a hoof graze the shaft from the tip. I hum in delight as I feel another hoof on it. They both work in unison running up the sensitive sex organ and making my brain nearly implode from sexual excitement. I lean my head back fully and close my eyes. However right as I begin to fully unwind, I feel something warm and wet engulf my pecker. My eyes dart wide open and I pounce up to see a princess with her mouth around my personal stick. She moves her head back and fourth up and down my little friend. I lean back again and let out a gasp and pleasured hum.

"L-una...." I whisper in a seductive tone of voice.

She doesn't speak, just takes her mouth off my pecker and runs her tongue up it. I moan out as loudly as I've ever. Luna takes her tongue away from my pecker and moves back up to me. Our eyes are level and I lean in to kiss her neck. I thrust into Luna once again and she goes bananas. One little thrust from me and she screams her lungs out for more. Quite exhilarating. She begins to develop a rhythm once again with the assistance of myself. My heart goes crazy like a tribal war drum.

Thump, thump, thump, thump......thump thump thump.....thumpitity, thump, thump.

After many minutes of this I sense a feeling in my groin and try to warn Luna. "L-una!" I whisper harshly. She doesn't listen but throws her back and goes in for another thrust against me. I try to squeeze out another warning but its a futile effort. I'm overwhelmed by the sensations to simply let the juices flow and well......let the juices flow. Luna meets my eyes and hers widen as she lets out a squeal of pleasure and shock. She buries her head to one side of mine and holds onto my body as tightly as possible. One the last of the flowing juices are gone she looks at me in shock.

"Wow." She whispers.

"Sorry." I say as she rolls off me. Seed put in the dirt at the wrong time.

7. Flap.....jack.

Luna cleans off her lady part while I did some finances in bed. Quite sexy I know, but tax season is on fast approach and I'll be damned if I have to do any of the work on the last minute. As I do calculations involving my last month's profit, I am unsure of what to feel regarding the use of my.........seed on the princess. She seemed calm and collective about the matter. I was a tad worried I ha overstepped some line and she was cover up her true feelings.

"Carry the two...." I whisper as I write a few digits on a note pad.

"Black Stripe?" Luna says attempting to get my attention away from the numbers in front of my eyes.

I look up at her with a faint smile. The whole experience of sex between us has been making me feel more intimate with the princess. I feel more comfortable around her. "Yes, Luna."

"I quite enjoyed what we just did." Luna says as she jumps into the bed with me.

She lifts the covers and moves her body beneath. Then moves closer to me and rests her head against mine. I feel kinda uncomfortable, but then again I'm always nervous with physical contact if it doesn't involve the genitals. Luna looks at my figures on the notes and papers levitating around. "Taxes?"

"In all they're elegance and wonder." I respond sarcastically, trying to ignore my slight anxiety towards Luna's cuddling. She ran a hoof down my chest beneath the covers. She kisses my cheek; then begins to assist me with my taxes. How sweet.

_____________________________________________

The two of us quickly fell asleep after we finished off the tax papers. As I drifted off to sleep that night my thoughts dwelled on my relationship with the princess. How would this effect our careers? Would I become known as the "The bookstore owner who is dating the moon"? Possibilities. Oh the possibilities of any aspect in life.

The morning started with a smell that one smells when a nearby dead cow is set ablaze. The smell had enough burning cow odor in it to wake me. I woke up on my back with my head halfway off the bed hanging over my dark green carpet. I lift my head and look at my king sized bed; the sheets were moved about and twisted in folded beyond their original spread out form. The pillows were near the top of the bed as they were. As I swiveled myself back onto the bed fully, I saw the bedroom door was wide open and I could hear the sound of sizzling in the kitchen. Somepony, I'm assuming Luna since she isn't in the bed, must be cooking. If not Luna then one of my customers wandered up and is trying to pay for books with food, and by customer I mean trespasser ,since the store is closed today.

I yawned and sluggishly got out of bed. I looked at my oak wood dresser, a square mirror was mounted on the wall above it. My mane is a complete mess, not that I care in the slightest, but whatever. I walk towards the door with the speed of a zombie-pony without legs. Once I was in my kitchen I look to my right towards the stove and see Luna with her mane tied back in a tight long tail. A few beads of sweat drip down her face as steam from the stove top heated the air in front of her.

She looks away from what she's cooking and her eyes widen as her mind registers me. "Good you're up!"

I groggily lawn again and ask " Whatcha making?"

"Something I got up north on a recent visit." Luna says. "I've had at least two or three each week since. The locals called it a 'Flap....jack.' I prefer 'Pancake' though." She says with a large smile towards me.

"I've never heard of them." I say looking at the brownish-white batter in the pan. "Does it taste better than it looks?"

"Yes, especially with syrup!" Luna says excitedly licking my cheek.

I look at her and nervously smile. "Do you intend to eat me or the pancakes?" I ask jokingly.

She shrugs "I'm not quite sure which myself. I guess theres an equal chance I'll throw you on the oven as well." Luna says jokingly, then she laughs and kisses my cheek. "I'm only kidding. You must forgive my sense of humor, it's a thousand years out of date." She says grinning at me, then looking back to her pancake.

She had one of my larger pans filled with the batter. It is semi-boiling right now in it's liquidy state. She stirs it around a bit with one of my steel spatulas. "It'll be done really soon." Luna says stirring it around counter clockwise in the pan.

"How soon?" I ask feeling my early morning stomach groan out of anger with my current status of not-eating.

"Twenty minutes?" Luna guesses as she stirs the batter one last time. "Maybe plus five for a cool down." Luna says as she leaves the pan and walks to the parlor. "The oven will shut off in twenty minutes, let's give it five to cool down."

Luna levitates a book from one of my shelves and hops up on the "L" shaped black leather couch opposite from the entrance door. "You have quite a collection of sci-fi. I've never read this one, which is a tad strange."

"Which one is it?" I ask as I come over and hop up next to her.

"'Battlestar Pegasus'" Luna says.

"Ah....the crew of the Pegasus defending Equestria from the robotic threat of the Changlons." I say remembered the three times I'd read it.

"Mmmhhmmmm." Luna says as she delves into her new found reading.

I levitate a book over to me and begin reading as well. Twenty minutes to kill.

9. Slave. I smell a MATURE moment

When I climbed into bed that night Luna was half-awake. It had been about three hours since I read the letter from Celestia. Luna welcomed me into my own bed by raising the covers for me. As I climbed into bed the rolled up letter from Princess Celestia went under the bed completely unnoticed by the weary princess. She wrapped me up in the covers and her own hooves and gently breathed on my neck. My right hoof wrapped around her and my left stayed closer just on her right side. I rub her stomach area a little bit and in my mind I'm calculating the odds of a little Luna/me forming there right now. In my mind: the odds were not to my liking. As I start to drift off to sleep I try to remember all the behavioral signs of a soon to be mother. I remember one definitive behavior that many mares and ever some stallion exhibit when they feel they may be 'expecting' is the need to clean their own things or their significant other's belongings.

Oh dang it.... I think as my mind turns off and I fall asleep.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Black Stripe?"

Who was that?

"Blaaaack Striiiiippppeee?" The voice continues, its a female voice that seems very familiar. "Why do you not dream like the rest of the ponies?"

Luna? What the...?

Quite suddenly, I found myself in the wilderness walking down some dusty path. It was about midnight and a dense fog had covered the area beneath the canopy of the thick trees. I'm wearing a black cow-colt hat with a wide brim all around it. I wore two black saddle bags and carried some small fire arm at my hip, now just so you uninformed weirdos can know: fire arms have been out lawed in Equestria for about two hundred or so years. My tail swung a mighty lasso around in the air behind me. All things considered I kinda reminded myself of some farm pony I met once in Ponyvile. I think her name was Appletart or something like that. Or maybe an apple-tart is what I bought from her?

A light cold wind tore across the forest blowing the branches and loose leaves about. As I walk calmly up the path I simply push my hat down on my head to prevent it from blowing with the leaves. As if it had just appeared I saw a figure ahead on the dirt path. I wonder who it could be and simply walk calmly. The figure is kinda large and appeared to wear a hat like my own. Before I can get a good look, the figure dashes off the path and into the complete darkness. I simply shrug and keep going as if nothing happened. It could have been a animal I guess.

I start to shiver as more cold winds blow by. I stop on the path and simply scoot out of the road onto a little patch of flat dirt and begin to set up a camp. I take out my fire arm, a small iron six shot weapon with a long skinny barrel. I quickly and skillfully take down six branches on nearby trees with five loud cracks of the pistol. One of the bullets I fired was able to down another branch after going through its first one. I holstered the pistol about twenty seconds after pulling it out and quickly gather my branches. Breaking them up into two or three pieces, I turn my head and the rocks on the ground glow and move into circle. I lay my many sticks down in the circle.

As I search about in my saddle bags for something to light this little fire pit with I find a box of matches. Odd, they weren't even invented until about eighty years after the gun was banned. I ignore this and take one match out and strike it against the box a few times. It lights on the sixth time and I drop right into the center of the fire. I smile broadly as a roaring fire soon erupts from the dry sticks. I go through my saddle bags I take out a large wool blanket, it will suffice for bedding. I lay it out flat on the dirt and as I set my saddle bags down at the head of my new bed, I hear a sound from the nearby bushes. I gulp and hope its not something that will take more than one shot if its hostile. I do a one, eighty degree turn and find myself face to face with nothing but a cold wind.

Of course..I'm paranoid.

I turn back to my bedding and lay the lasso and fire arm near the saddle bags. Then another sound echoes through the forest. A howl by some distant beast. I look out into the wilderness around me and see nothing but the slight blowing of leaves and thin branches. I turn back to my bedding again and see something is very wrong. My fire arm's last round now lays next to it and my lasso is missing. My lasso is missing.

I'm not alone....

I don't move my head but just keep staring at where my lasso had been and look around in my field of vision. I see a movement in the bushes to my right. I quickly take a breath and my horn glows as the pistol and loose round come up and are joined once again. Now aiming the pistol at the bushes where the movement had come from I call out.

"Return my lasso and you will not be harmed!" I try to sound commanding and almost succeed.

I feel warm breath on the back of my neck and out of shock: I drop the pistol. It falls and bounces off the dirt beneath and lands near the fire. I turn quickly and prepare for a close quarters brawl. However, yet again I am faced with the odd anomaly of nothingness. I felt something breath on me, yet nothing is here. I sigh and as I'm about to call out again my lasso comes out of a nearby bush and falls over my head and down to my torso.It tightens and gives me an enormous tug pulling my forward and forcing me off my hooves. Before I realize it some pony rushes up and has me on my back with my fore hooves tied together and my rear hooves tied together as well. I look up and my eyes widen.

"Luna?!" I call out.

Princess Luna is standing over me with a brown cow-colt hat on her head and my lasso between her teeth. She drops the lasso and looks down me with an authoritative expression on her face. "I think you mean 'Master', slave."

"Slave?" I repeat unsure if she was serious or not.

"Quiet, slave. Or else I'll swap our genders and take your body every which way possible and impossible right here." Okay, she's serious.

I'm quiet and simply watch as she looks over my little camp. She throws my pistol into my saddle bag and then looks at the wool blanket. "Nice blanket. It'll make for a good bedding tonight."

I'm silent as she comes over to me and simply lifts by the ropes and carries me to the blanket. She takes my hat off and tosses it on one saddle bag as she lays me on one side of the blanket. "It is cold and we will both require the extra heat that we can supply to each other when that fire dies out." She says then she eyes my rope restraints. "IF...I cut you loose and allow you to sleep like a normal pony will you try and run?"

I take a second to think. "Ummmmm...."

"And a pleasant 'ummm' right back at you. Now answer my question, slave." She says standing over me.

I shrug. "Probably."

She sighs. "Fine. I'm going to cut the restraints and if you run I'll swap our genders and make sure you can't walk for weeks."

What in Equestria is up with these freaky threats?!

Luna pulls a large knife from one of my saddle bags and cuts my restraints then ties another bit of rope around my neck. She then ties the end of the rope to her tail. As she lays down next to me she roughly pulls me in closer and wraps a hoof around me. "Sleep, slave. If you try to escape I'll..."

"I get it!" I exclaim.

Luna raises her head and gives me an evil eye. "It'd behoove you to understand that at the moment I'm your master and you should not interrupt me. Now....as punishment..." She pulls at my neck with the rope at her tail. "Put your head down near my tail..."

I stand up and lay back down with my head at level with her cutie mark and tail. Luna lays on her side and raises the leg that faced upwards revealing her....personal zone to me. I try to avoid looking directly at it but find my eyes drifting.

"Lick it, slave." Luna commands.

I move my head in slowly and nervously. As I near her 'tunnel of love' I feel a hoof come down hard on the back of my head and press me into her. My nose and mouth go right into her. I was......taking a breath at the time and soon found that instead of inhaling air: I was now inhaling Luna's natural juices and well...Luna in general. I nearly chocked on her juices and she grinds my face into her and hums in delight as I unwilling lick her.

I start to swirl my tongue in her and she moans out. "Good slave. Good Slaaaavvveee!"

I turn my head and start to lick every which way I can. She enjoys and pulls my mouth out of her. She pets my head and says. "Good work, slave. Now for your exceptional performance....." She opens her mouth and goes for my groin. I gasp as I feel her tongue working on my male sword. I moan out for her and then bury my head back into her crotch. She roughly licks and sucks upon my pecker and I gently nurse her lady part. As we moan and kiss each other, Luna rolls onto me and wraps the blanket over the both of us. She takes me out of her mouth and flips around so our eyes are level. "Ready to get dominated, my new slave?"

I nod slowly. Luna pounces on me and we're kissing roughly. Her fore hooves wrap around my head and grind my lips into hers as she shoves her tongue nearly down my throat. I return the rough kiss and try to give her the same roughness she has shown me. I run my hooves up back and tug at her wings roughly. She howls in delight into my mouth and I look into her authoritative, yet seductive eyes. I look past her head and see a familiar sight: her rump rising above my colt spear.

She slammed her groin onto mine and we both howled in effect. Our kiss broken we simply stared into each others eyes and breathed rapidly while Luna pounded my groin with her own. I couldn't help myself and started kissing her face. I kissed her cheeks, fore head, and took my time around her lips. Then I went lower to her neck and ran my tongue up her wind pipe then came back up to her ears and nibbled lightly on each one. She moaned and returned the many kisses. She ran her tongue up from my neck to my lips. She shoves her tongue into my mouth and we kiss once again.

As Luna starts to pick up speed during this little romp; I smile up at her and she gives me a devilish smile in return. "You're my new personal slave..."

_________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm awake and breathing heavily on my back with Luna on top of me. Shes just waking up as well and smiles at me. "Good morning, sweety." She says licking my nose.

10. Other ways...

Luna smiles down at me and strokes my head. "Sleep well?"

I start to laugh and then just shrug. "It was an interesting sleep to say the least." Luna and I laugh together and then she rolls off of me. As she gets out of bed I take notice of the fact that she's wearing her mane in long pony-tail. I feel a slight pang of anxiety as I remember the letter from Celestia.

"Hey, Black Stripe?" Luna asks as she turns around to meet my eyes. "Do you want to go out for breakfast? Or would you rather stay here for a time?"

I shrug once again and just sit up slightly. "I'll cook." I say with a slight grin.

Luna's smile doubles and as she walks out she calls back. "I'll make coffee for now."

_________________________________________________________________________________________

I sipped my coffee while eggs sizzled before me. I smile down at them and then look over towards the white bathroom door and feel a pang of panic. Luna had been in there for ten minutes now, there was no flush yet, no shower turned on either. I grind my teeth a bit while just staring at the bathroom door, oh how I wish I had x-ray vision. Or at the very least hear Luna call out in an annoyed tone "I should never had touched those beans!". Sadly I was given no such luck. I added a little cheese to the pan of scrambled eggs and then stirred it in thoroughly.

I look back up the bathroom hoping to hear a fart or flush or some sort. Again, no such luck on my part. I sigh and hope with all my heart Luna doesn't walk out and claim that she will be eating for two this morning. I grind my teeth once again. I make a descent amount of money but not enough to support foals of any sort. Unless that sort is 'Non existent", of course. I stir the eggs again and then simply let them sit now. I shut off the burner on the stove and watch the eggs, lathered in cheese, cool down. Finally a noise is heard from the bathroom. It was the sound of the door opening....

I look to my left and my mouth drops like a brick on a planet with three hundred times Equestria's gravitational pull. Luna steps out in a white nurses outfit. It's a tad short on her and the little cap is way out of proportion but most of the outfit was like that by intention. Luna simply steps out of the bathroom, make up adorned on her face in one of best ways possible. A violet shade of lipstick was glistening across her mouth. A similar shade of purple eyeshadow nearly blended in with her skin-tone but stood out enough to be subtle yet noticeable.

I want to smile and guide her back to the bedroom but enough is enough. "We.....we need to talk." I say trying to avert my eyes.

"You're darn right we do! You missed your...checkup." She says with a wink, slyly strutting towards me.

"No Luna....seriously. We need to talk about something..." I say still trying to avert my eyes.

She notices that I have withheld my enthusiasm regarding her outfit and replaced it a grim tone and expression. She comes closer to me and raises my chin with one hoof to meet her eyes. "What's wrong? I figured I'd have a dog humping my leg with this outfit instead of my little Black Stripe."

"I got a letter from Princess Celestia last night..." I begin. I'm quickly cut off by Luna.

"Is she telling you to break up with me? I specifically told her not to butt into my personal buisness! Oh this is so like 'Tia I get something or someone good and she comes in and tries to ruin it! She'll probably just ask you out herself, you know. She's just jealous of us and wants you for herself! Luna shouts in an annoyed tone. She stalks over to the fridge and rears up, then gives the door a dent in frustration.

"Luna! She's not telling me to break up with you!" I respond in a raised voice. "If anything she was kinda happy for you and I. She simply had some....concerns; she wants us to be careful during our....love making. She said in the letter that you were on somesort of....heat cycle. She told me you're were more romantic, emotional, and even fertile at the moment and well.....I just can't afford nor do I want at the moment: a foal." I say truthfully.

Luna looks away. "I-I....should have told you." She mumbles then she lets out a sigh. "I was trying ot be careful but at the moment...I just can't help myself! You are akin to a narcotic, Black Stripe!" She says with a laugh then she gives me a kiss on the cheek and whispers. "I love you very much....if you wish: I can hold in my sexual needs until this heat cycle is over. We can-"

"Three years without sex? Luna I couldn't do that and I'm not going through a 'heat cycle'. There has to be a better solution." I say with a sigh.

Now it has come to my attention that most of you readers have these plastic 'condoms' available. Those were never invented nor shall they ever be in Equestria. The reason behind this is: (No other pony will tell you this) Equestrians really...really enjoy sex. They had tried using 'condoms' or a variant of them but the masses decided the security wasn't worth the lack of enjoyment.

"Well if you don't want to simply go cold turkey then maybe we could use other methods or ways for the 'deed'." She looks back at her toosh and reaches back; giving it a slight rub. "I think we could have fun with the other ways too." She says with a wink.

I smile. "That could work." I say wrapping a hoof around her and pulling her in for a kiss.

11. Fallen books.

A few years ago...

There she was: Nightmare M-...Princess Luna. She seemed a tad frightened by the many gazes that followed her, like one would shout her alias aloud and charge her with intent of harm. Sadly one of the pairs of eyes that followed the princess where my own. I couldn't help myself; a princess had walked into my store! Now had I know that a few years from this point she'd wind up in my bedroom I might have been a bit more casual about my first encounter with her.

She nervously browsed the history section and tried to keep her head down. A tired looking stallion is browsing the same isle with her but trying to keep his distance. As Luna pulls a book down from the upper shelf, a few loosely placed books come down with it. The books fall and Luna yelps, jumping out of the way the stallion nearby is pounded with large history books. He takes each book with a straight face then sighs and turns to see the scared looking princess of the night. Then he bursts: "You idiot!" He shouts.

From my position forty feet away, I see her shrink back and a tear come to her eye. I block out the shouts of the angry stallion and quickly walk out and around the counter. As I walk I feel a slight sense of purpose in my step, I don't even bother to think of what I'm going to say. As I come into range I call out: "Is there some problem here!?" I use an unusually authoritative voice.

The stallion stops his scolding and simply says. "None of your business. I'm just a little angry because Nightmare Moon here just tried to kill me."

I move to a point between him and the half-crying princess. "Well you see it actually is my business. Your shouting to one of my costumers, on my property too. So how about this...either you chill out right now and leave, never to return of course, or I eject you from the store and have you fined for causing a disturbance in my place of business."

The stallion huffs and charges out of my store at the speed of light. I smile as he storms off then turn to Princess Luna. She's wiping a few tears from her eyes with her hooves. "Follow me, I'll keep a few tissues behind the counter." she smiles slightly at my kindness and follows me back to the counter. I stand behind it and she walks up like any other customer, I raise an eyebrow and gesture for her to come around to the other side of the counter. As she comes about I reach in the cabinets beneath the counter and find my tissues after a minute. As she wipes her eyes off I simply sit back and wait for her to walk away with a nod. She doesn't, though. She stays and smiles at me.

"Thank you. What is your name?" She asks.

"My name is Black Stripe, I'm sorry about that run in you had with that fellow. I hope that doesn't discourage you from returning here." I say apologetically.

"No, no, no, there was nothing you could have done to prevent it." She says gently. "We umm....just....." she leans in and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Black Stripe." She then looks a bit uncomfortable as she looks to the door. "We hate to ask but could you......walk me back to the castle?"

I look to the door "Of course. Do you think you could hang around for about twenty minutes? I close in twenty."

She smiles and looks to the place where the books fell. "Shall I clean those up?"

"I'll clean those up, you just go grab whatever books you wanted." I say with a smile.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Twenty minutes later...

As I locked the front door and hid the key in my favorite way, Luna waited with a uneasy expression. The eyes of all who passed by followed her. That whole...'Nightmare Moon has returned!' fiasco had ended just days ago, so I can't fault the average pony for being a bit uneasy. Me? I saw what was there now, a scared princess who knew she had done something bad and simply wanted to now live in peace.

"Alrighty, I have to stop off at the bank before they close but I can walk you most of the way to the castle." I say with a smile as we start to walk.

Luna nods then brings up another subject. "You own the bookstore, correct?"

"Well...its called Black Books and I'm Black Stripe, so if I don't own the store, then the owner is a lazy fellow who doesn't check in on his businesses." I say with a slight chuckle.

Luna gives a half-laugh and then continues. "It is quite a nice store."

"I try to keep it clean of filth of all kinds." I say with a wink and a chuckle.

"Indeed." she agrees with a nod.

Back in these first days of our friendship, Luna was a small alicorn. Smaller than Celestia at least, still taller than me though. She had a different shade of blue-purple for her mane at the time, it was also kept a tad shorter. I never got a good explanation for the stunning change in appearance after one year. I never really theorized, just sort of...went along with it. As she grew in size and shape, she grew in personality. Instead of being like a humbly genius teen with a slight fear of anger and hatred for abandonment, she became a slightly older-looking humble genius with a microscopic fear of the anger of others and slightly larger hatred for abandonment.

As we neared the bank, which would close in about ten minutes, I said goodbye: "Well...enjoy your night." I say as I stop in my walk, a few meters from the entrance of the bank.

"Oh umm......good bye. We will be at your store tomorrow for more books." She says starting to walk away.

I smile as she walks off then shrug off the notion of taking her out to dinner after a few weeks of being friendly.

12. Little Black Stripe.

A dry and raspy voice replaces my usual voice as I awaken to find myself halfway off my bed. "Hunnnnnnnnnnngggggg" I start to groan. I roll over to find a large, very familiar, body taking up most of the covers and the bed. I groan once again as I try to pull some of the covers away. The body groans back and tugs at them again.

"L-Luna I need something to cover up with..." I mumble as I try to fumble with the covers in the cold, dark hours of the morning.

"What was that?" Celestia asks as she rolls over.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

My eyes burst open and I just about jump out of my skin and look back at the bed. I can barely make her out but Luna is there and sleeping quite soundly in the pitch black darkness. She rolls over and I can see her face in the moon light, her mouth is wide open and she is breathing lightly. I sigh and then speak out into the black room.

"I must be going crazy." I say with another sigh following it.

I climb back into bed and lay my head against the pillow I had been using before the dream. In what seems like five minutes to my dosing mind: the sun rises and my alarm clock is going off at seven in the morning. I hear Luna groan out for the noise to cease. I feel the weight of her as she rolls onto me and reaches over to slam down on the old fashioned alarm clock. I can hear her speak to me.

"Mmm my Black-" I hear what sounds like a near vomit. I'm glad she didn't vomit on me to say the least, but I open my eyes as she gallops out of the bedroom and charges straight for the bathroom.

I climb out of bed slowly and lurch towards the door as I rub my eyes. I walk out into the kitchen and look to my left. As I slowly walk towards the bathroom my mind is filled with half-awake thoughts and theories of what lay beyond the half closed bathroom door. I rub my scalp with one hoof and open the door with the other one. Luna is laying on her stomach with her head inside the toilet bowl. I can hear each hurl and the clash of chunky-liquid on water. I sigh as I come next to her and sit by her, keeping my head away from the awful smell coming from Luna's stomach contents and the toilet water. I place one hoof around Luna and gently hold her.

"Just let it flow..." I say as I give the toilet a single flush.

Luna doesn't respond she just lets loose another wave of foul smelling, half-digested, food.

"I wonder if anypony would ever buy a Princesses vomit for say.....twenty bits a pint?" I joke lightly as I pat her on the back with a tender gentleness.

She gives a sort of laugh but is interrupted by more vomit coming up and out of her mouth and into the pool of water and food. I give the toilet another flush and watch our meals of the previous day vanish down the toilet. Luna pulls her head out of the toilet bowl and rolls onto her side so she can look at me. "W-water." she says in a rasp.

"Of course." I say.

I rise and gallop out to the kitchen. I do a bit of searching in some cabinets and find a glass. After a few seconds at the sink I fill the glass about halfway then gallop back to the bathroom. Luna is now laying on her belly again and she gladly accepts the glass in her magical grip. She chugs it quickly and thanks me with an angelic smile. I get down on my stomach again and lay next to her. "Do you need anything else?"

"Y-yes.....a pregnancy test." She says in a near whisper.

My eyes widen like large dinner plates.
________________________________________________________________________________________

At a small family own pharmacy up the road from my store, I am lost. I look through each of the little isles, reading product labels and other signs that designated what was in each isle. I was currently in the mare-hygiene section looking at things whose names and uses I would prefer not to say. I grimace at the many hygiene products and continue to look for what I need. I hear a stallion's voice behind me.

"I hope you're shopping for someone else." The stallion says behind me.

I turn and see a doctor looking type in a white coat. "I am shopping for Pr-......my special some pony." I say with a bashful grin.

"Well what are you looking for, friend?" He asks.

"Something to test for pregnancies." I say with an embarrassed mumble.

"Expecting a little....ummm whats your name?" He asks as he comes to scan the shelves with me.

"Black Stripe." I say as I continue to scour the shelves of hygiene products.

"So you may be expecting a little black stripe or miniature.....errr.....mare friend's name?" He asks out of general friendly curiousity as he pulls a product off the shelf.

"A miniature Princess Luna." I say with a grin, almost knowing it will confuse him.

"Ah yes a little Black Stripe or miniature Princess-...wait...what!?" He asks dropping the box on the floor.

"You heard me." I say with a large smile. "I'm not kidding, by the way." I say with a wink and a larger smile. The pharmacist simply stares back in utter shock. Probably trying to figure out whether or not I was serious. Well as you all very well know: I am.

13. A kiss of dominance.

For the first time in my life: I am utterly speechless. Well not so, because I'm explaining how I speechless I am in speech..but you understand what I mean. No, shut up, you understand. I don't care if you don't! Just pretend you do then. Anyhow, I am quite speechless at this moment in my life. I am standing just a foot from what could either be the mother of first born child or simply the princess I had a pregnancy scare with. I stood just beyond the bathroom door, however I did not stand alone. I stood with Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight. I had alerted Celestia to our little.......you know. She alerted the other two, non possibly-pregnant princess and arranged a quick meet up at my home. Cadence was otherwise occupied, Celestia had made a crack about her being jealous of Luna and I.

Well the two available princess arrived within an hour of me alerting Celestia of the possible pregnancy afoot. I had made coffee and Luna had taken a small nap before actually going to take the pregnancy test. Now in the bathroom all was silent except for the somewhat excited and anxious Twilight Sparkle and her persistent questions.

"What will you name it if it's a mare?"

"I dunno."

"Will you two move to somewhere more spacious?"

"I don't know."

"Are you going marry the princess if she's pregnant?"

"*Sigh* I don't know."

I sip at my coffee nervously. Twilight does not take my continuing use of the phrase "I don't know" as a sign that I'm not in the mood to be questioned on decisions I may or may not have to make some time in the future.

"Where are you parents?" She asks. "Shouldn't they know their son is with a princess."

"My parents...." I stop at that. "Please stop with your questions. Now." I say with a slightly agitated tone.

Twilight gets the memo with that added tone of voice. Realizing she must've tread onto she shouldn't have, she quickly moves to just sipping at the cup of tea she had asked me to make her upon her arrival. Celestia is next to speak.

"Is there anything you'd like to talk about, Black Stripe?" She asks."I'm sensing you just avoided an old emotional wound of some sort."

I give an angered eye. "You are guest in my home. If you continue on with trying to poke at my emotional wounds: I will forcibly eject you from my home. I will only extend this warning once." I say in a more agitated tone. Then I knock on the bathroom door. "Luna?"

"I'm just about finished in here.....Black Stripe....please come in. Alone if you will." Luna calls through the door.

I set my coffee mug on a nearby table and gently open the door just enough for me to get in. I close it tightly and secure the lock behind me once I've stepped in. Luna is sitting down in front of the toilet with the little plastic testing strip floating in front of her in a blue magical aura. Her face shows indifference. She probably will show some lean towards one outcome when I show my emotions regarding the outcome. I gulp as I walk to her and sit next to her. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I wrap a hoof around her and say as I open my eyes. "Show it to me."

The test strip moves before my eyes and in an instant I imagine the future that lies before me. I take a gulp. "Are you...uhhhh....happy with this?" I ask her my voice somewhat shaky, my body feeling like a giant unsettled blob of nerve clusters.

"I am pleased." She says in a slightly more...happy tone of voice.

I smile. "You sure?"

She returns my smile and gives me a light hug. "I'm sure....you're going to be a good dad." She says with a broad smile.

We exit the bathroom at the same time, Twilight and Celestia, despite my reaction to their questions earlier, look on with anticipation. Their eyes and ears eagerly awaiting the answer either of us could supply. Luna and I exchange glances at each other. She nods to me.

"Well, everypony." I say with smile. I look to Luna. "Allow me to introduce you Luna; she's a princess, she controls the moon, and she's an expecting mother." I say with a laugh as I wrap one hoof around Luna.

Celestia and Twilight both break out into cheering for Luna and I. I turn to Princess Luna and she leans in for a passionate kiss. I can feel a tongue slip into my mouth just as the cheering for the new-found pregnancy stops. Luna is usually very forceful with her kissing, she's a bit dominate when it comes to romantic gestures like kissing. I suppose it comes from the fact that she's always been in the shadow of her sister. She seeks power of her own, or at least more than she already has. Even in bed she seeks power, at least over me. Interesting, I know, but the ability to read into other's psyche and just general emotional behaviors are useful skills to be proficient in.

Luna and I conclude our kiss and we simply sit staring into each others' eyes for a second. She sighs and say. "I know we've only dated for a short time but I swear it feels as if we've been together since the first day I walked through the doors downstairs."

I smile broadly. "Well....rest, my dear. Celestia, Twilight, and I are going to head out to get something." I say with a wink to the other princesses.

14. House and home.

Three months before six months from now.

I sip at a glass of orange juice as some mare guides Luna and I into a rather large kitchen.

"As you can see this property comes with a newly remodeled kitchen. Granite counter tops, a little bar with a lockable cabinet for your special drinks, and stainless steel appliances. There is even a sliding glass door that leads right out into the beautiful back yard, you can even get a good view of the little pool the last family put in."

The backyard was fenced in with a white wooden fence that stood at nearly twelve feet. The pool was kind of a tear-drop shape with the stairs in near an area of the curve. It had little marking that stated the depth, the shallow end was three feet and the deepest part was six. Pretty nice I suppose, I'm not much of a swimmer but I guess Luna and I could spend a few summer afternoons lounging about in the clear blue waters.

"How's the neighborhood? I mean I know we're a mile out from Ponyvile but is there anypony who lives nearby?" Luna asks as she gawks at the pool and glorious back yard.

"About half a mile up the road, there is a little mare who keeps to herself. I've met her only once but she's quite shy and lives with a few cute animals." The mare says with a kind smile.

As many of you may have realized: we are shopping for a home. It was Luna's idea honestly, she and I had a spat over my current home. After a bit of an argument, I stopped the spat by promising that I would sell my store and home if we could find a home that we could both say was perfect. Thus far...this one was making my flat look like a hovel. I liked the design of the place, black stone-brick walls on the outside and bright, usually blue, wallpaper on the inside. It was two stories tall with the second story half-sized. The interior of the second floor was exactly half of the first and other half was technically exterior. Half of the roof of the first floor had been given a railing and called an 'upper deck'.

I liked that 'upper deck' quite a bit. Mostly because the master bedroom was the only room with access to it! That was through double wood/glass doors. They looked pretty good and the glass wasn't even clear it was stained glass. I liked that as well, and Luna like the half moon sections of clear glass in the center of both doors. There were three bedrooms in the house counting the master bedroom. The smallest was the other bedroom upstairs which rested across the small hall from the master bedroom and next to a bathroom that did not have a shower. There was another bathroom connected to the living room that had a shower/bath and a smaller one with a bath and shower in the master bedroom. The living room was the first room you see when you walk into the house, there was an arch way that went into the kitchen across from the front doors. In the kitchen there is a doorway to the left of the sliding glass doors that go back towards the living room but lead upstairs to the small hallway with the upstairs rooms and closet. Now back to the living room, when you enter on your right is the sofas, coffee table, etc. To your left is a door that goes into a bathroom with a bath and shower, to the right of that door is a door that leads into a bedroom about half the size of the master bedroom.

"And how much was the price?" I ask as I smile broadly. "Thus far this house seems good. What do you say Luna?"

"I agree, my dear." She says with a smirk. "Unless the price is monstrous this manor is perfect for us."

"Well the price is just under half a million bits. I'd have to get out the documents but I think it's close to four hundred and thirty thousand bits." The relator mare says the spark of a possible sale in her eyes.

I lean over to Luna and whisper so the relator can't hear me. "I can sell the bookstore for a million bits and buy a new one in Ponyvile for five hundred thousand. We can buy this house and I can keep my job!" I say in a very excited tone of a whisper.

Luna and I exchange glances then we both smile and nod. I look down at Luna's growing stomach and smile. "We'll take it." I say not even making eye contact with the relator.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

We sat in our newly bought home. Completely empty of furniture besides the living room furniture and kitchen appliances. Luna and I smiled as we talked of the future and where we'd keep our things.

"So what about your duties as a Princess?" I asked at around five in the evening. Sitting at the bar in the kitchen while Luna prepared a meager meal we had picked up just an hour previously.

"Except for on weekends, I'll teleport to my office in Canterlot and manage the empire at night from dusk til dawn." She says as she stirs the rice meal.

"Why not on weekends?" I ask with a puzzled expression.

"Telecommunication, if its an emergency they'll send a letter through magic and I'll come down, but otherwise they'll just send the occasional bit of paperwork for me to sign and send back." Luna says with a chuckle. "I love the 'night shift' but weekends are usually slow so I said 'Just mail me my work'" She says as she pours the spiced rice into two bowls. "Besides, you need me here some nights just so we can....you know." She winks at me.

I wink back and laugh. Then I smile as I look around a the new house. "This is our home." I say proudly. "I can't wait for the movers to get our furniture here. Tonight we sleep on the couches, tomorrow we sleep in that glorious master bedroom!" I laugh.

8. "Please be watchful of any seed..."

Those...'flapjacks' were actually alright. I actually kinda enjoyed them, Luna drowned hers in syrup, I preferred mine with very little syrup. Also, when I say 'drowned' I mean submerged about four or so thousand meters beneath a sea of syrup. In my case, very little means a few circles on the top, very thin little circles of syrup. Well, enough about breakfast. After we ate breakfast I went downstairs and opened the store. Sitting behind the counter was quite boring, even more so on slow days. Reading can get old after a few years or so. There was a few customers; many were bored and looking for a good day's worth of reading material.

"Heya, ummm do you have any books on star formation?" I look up from my current book, a little romance novel I had never read before. It was a mare who had asked that question. She fairly tall; about my height, dark brown mane and tail, and her tan-ish body complemented her mane and tail well. She had her mane straightened and let it fall around it her in straight little lines that formed a silky smooth style.

"Go to nonfiction, then science, then space and take your pick from the shelf marked Solar Books." I say pointing in the general direction of the nonfiction section. The mare walks off with that girl-jot spring in her trot and I return to my reading. As it gets later in the morning I start to wonder what Luna's doing upstairs. If she was nice and did the dishes there wasn't much to do. I could have and probably will do them *Assuming they're not done* in twenty minutes later on in the day.

At a few minutes before noon I had gotten about halfway through the romance novel I had been reading and decided I could put it down for a few minutes and rest my eyes. As I yanwed and rubbed my eyes I look around the shop. Many of the morning 'busy bees' had gone and been replaced with the noon 'no-lifes'. The noon no-lifes were those people who either didn't get up in the morning to grab a book before work or a day of rest and simply had nothing better to do and decided to shop instead. They annoyed me greatly; most were lifeless and boring. There were a few who like the morning bees and afternoon resters had some emotion. Most were essentially zombie-ponies and made me want to shatter my skull with a brick.

As I rubbed my eyes I heard a voice behind me. "I finished it." I turn to see Luna her mane is a bit messy and her eyes look tired.

"Finished? Finished what?" I ask.

"That Battlestar Pegasus series. I read all of the books" She says blankly.

"There are seven books in that series." I state eyes widening. "You read them all?" I ask.

"Everything from the first one to Battlestar Pegasus: snake code." She says as she rests her head on mine. "I'm tired now."

I laugh. "Then just go upstairs and rest I have several hours before I close." I say giving her a kiss on the cheek.

______________________________________________________________________________________

I decided to close at about five in the afternoon. It was dead anyhow. When I went upstairs I found my home had been cleaned a bit. It was a bit unnecessary honestly, I kept the house semi-clean, but not organized and constantly dusted. Luna had re-organized my bookshelves (To my liking as it seems) and dusted behind them, the fridge, the stove, etc. I smile as I look over the new-organizational style of my books. As I grab a kinda old hay-shake from the freezer portion of my fridge I take notice of the absence of general junk. She had cleaned out the use-less or nearly useless ingredients and inedible items! Quite an impressive cleaning if I do say so myself.

I go to the door just a few feet from the fridge and peak into my bedroom. As one would expect: the Princess of the night was asleep and drooling upon my favorite pillow. The curtains on the windows were thick and closed to block out the sun rays. Aside from the rooms behind me and their lights shining in, there was no light in the bedroom. I close the door as gently as possible and walk into the parlor. As I take a seat on my large couch I levitate one book over then send it back upon realizing that I've read everything in my apartment at least twice. I frown and debate on whether or not its too late to go out for a cup of coffee and a meal by myself. As I make my decision a small purple flash blinds me for a second and drops a rolled up letter in front of me.

I frown at the letter as I unroll it for it is the only entity keeping me from a self satisfying and hopefully delicious night to myself. I read it on the couch and I'm tempted to front at Celestia's signature at the bottom.

"Sister of the princess I'm dating. What could she want at this time of day?" I ask myself aloud.
The letter is written in extremely neat cursive.

Dear Black Stripe

It has come to my attention that you and my sister have become heavily involved in a short time. Now just to clarify before you begin to draw conclusions regarding the nature of this letter: this is NOT a cease and desist letter. My sister and yourself are both adults and are both capable of making well reasoned decisions. I would just like to caution you: Luna has entered a sort of heat cycle. For the last few weeks she has been more forth going with romantic advances. That's not to say that your relationship is just her solving her increased sexual needs. She has confessed feelings towards you in the past but she had been unsure if they were mutual. Anyhow: her heat cycle will last for the next three years and it simply makes her more romantic, slightly more emotional during intercourse, and more fertile. Please be watchful of any seed you should happen to expose her to. As much as I would love to see more Alicorns or just more Royal family in the world; I would feel pity for you if your relationship with Luna to be burdened by an early-on and unwanted foal.

Feel free to write back and deliver your writing to the castle. I'll receive it and write back as soon as possible.

In some cursive scribble reads below:

Princess Celestia.

As I re-roll the letter my left eye twitches slightly.

Ooooh noooo....
