Tea for you.
8. "Please be watchful of any seed..."
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThose...'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....
