CHAPTER ONE: A Dark Night
CHAPTER ONE
A Dark Night
The Princess of the Night soared across the night sky of Equestria. She still harbored a very small resentment that ponies chose this marvelous time to sleep. In her glorious night there wasn’t Celestia’s harsh sun to beat down, and the colors of the night were easier on the eyes. And the stars, the stars! They were like the jewels of the earth but were free to all.
Princess Luna streaked across the night sky; looping, barrel rolling and swooping down to power climb back to the heights. If the Wonderbolts were awake, they would be standing slack jawed, mouth open at her flight prowess. Even that sassy friend of hers, Rainbow Dash would have to admit that, despite Luna being a princess, she would have to be named the Queen of the Sky! She smiled to think that even her older sister was no match at flight.
As she soared above that favorite town of hers, Ponyville, she observed a glint and movement on a hill outside of the town proper.
‘Somepony that enjoys the night!’ thought the princess.
Luna banked hard and flew to the secluded spot. It was no surprise that the pony there was her favorite subject, a pony that actually not a day went by that she didn’t think of, a pony that she owed much to, Twilight Sparkle.
Luna landed close with a flourish of wings. It gave her a little amusement when it startled her sister's favorite student. Twilight’s new wings shot out in surprise.
Seeing the Princess of the Night, Twilight bowed and properly addressed the co-ruler of Equestria.
“Princess Luna, You Highness!” said Twilight.
Luna smirked, from this pony the title and curtsy felt out of place. Especially on a hilltop, in the dead of night with no other pony around.
“Rise Twilight Sparkle,” said the princess, fighting not to drop back into the ancient formal speech patterns, “answer me this; do you see any other ponies around?”
“No, Your Highness,” answered Twilight.
“And have thou and thy… you and your friends not aided me in the past, and was it you and they that freed me from the self-made hell of Night Mare Moon?”
“Yes, Princess.”
“And correct me if I am mistaken, but do you now hold the rank of princess?”
“Yes again, You Highness.”
“Then knock off the ‘Princess’ and ‘Your Highness’ horse-apples!” said Luna, smiling at Twilight’s reaction, “I thought we were friends! I’m Luna, and I expect you to call me that. At least when we aren’t in formal situations, if we called each other ‘Princess’ all the time it would just get old fast! I can’t think how many centuries it’s been since I called Celestia ‘Princess’.”
Twilight snickered, Luna looked at her stern which made Twilight nervous, but Luna broke out in laughter.
Twilight had heard Luna laugh on many occasions. But for the first time Twilight noticed just how pleasant and charming Luna’s laugh was, also the way her face appeared when happy was quite lovely. Twilight didn’t understand the feeling she was having now.
“So you like to observe the stars, Twilight?” asked Luna.
“Yes Your High…, yes Luna,” stammered Twilight.
“Have you ever used the large telescope at Canterlot Castle?”
“No!” exclaimed Twilight, “I’ve always seen it from the outside, it was always off limits when I was at the School for Gifted Unicorns. It was in a secure part of the castle. I found out later that it was your section, you were still in the moon.”
Twilight, then blushed;
“Sorry about bringing that up, Luna.”
“Don’t be,” said Luna, “if not for you, I might have been sent back there. Nasty dusty place, you can only play chess with yourself so many times in a thousand years.”
Luna looked at the ground, the smile had faded as she remembered those long lonely centuries. Luna then felt a hoof on her shoulder, Twilight was looking at her with a genuine look of concern on her comely face, Luna’s smile returned.
‘She truly is a cute mare,’ thought Luna.
“Fly with me and I’ll show you wonders that your little spyglass can’t see,” said Luna with a smile.
“I can’t fly very well,” said Twilight sheepishly.
“Nonsense!” said Luna, “you just don’t have confidence. Come with me!”
There was a dark blue aura around Twilight as Luna leapt into the sky. Twilight couldn’t help but follow. They achieved an altitude in no time that Twilight had never been, even in the hot air balloon. Then Luna looked at Twilight and with a wicked grin;
“It’s sink or swim time Twilight! I’d spread my wings if I were you.”
The aura around Twilight disappeared. Twilight was no longer being supported, nothing below her hooves but empty space. It was both thrilling and sickening.
Then Twilight started to plummet. The air was whistling by her, she was about to panic when she saw Luna in a dive by her.
“Position yourself like me!” shouted Luna, “Spread your wings out.”
Twilight positioned herself with fore hooves out in front, muzzle down and wings spread. She could feel herself in some control.
“Now pull up and beat your wings!” Luna called out.
Twilight curved her back and put her muzzle up. She beat her wings, at first flailing but then she felt when they actually bit the air and she could feel lift. She repeated those strokes, it became easier and more powerful. Suddenly she felt the confidence and she shot up out of her dive. As she climbed, Luna flew alongside of her. Without the wind rushing by in the dive it was easier to talk and listen.
“Not bad Twilight,” said Luna with a smile, “you had a good three hundred feet left!”
“Three hundred feet!” said Twilight almost fainting.
“Focus Twilight!” said Luna laughing. “follow me!”
Luna took off like a shot. Twilight soon could feel how she was able to accelerate and was soon alongside Luna.
“Very good!” said Luna, “now to the castle!”
Twilight flew alongside Luna, she started to feel confident enough to look around her, the land passing beneath, the woods, small settlements and even her library as the flew over Ponyville. Then she looked up. She knew it only an illusion but the stars and moon felt so much closer, like she could reach out a hoof and touch them.
Before she knew it, Canterlot Castle was in sight. They headed in the direction of Luna’s tower, they touched down softly. Twilight was so excited, she forgot herself and threw a hug around Luna, who reciprocated.
“That was so fun!” said Twilight.
“Yes, it is,” said Luna.
Then Luna thought she would take the chance and gave Twilight a kiss. It was not a peck on the lips, but no tongue, and it was held for several moments. Twilight didn’t fight it, but she was a tad taken aback. They broke the kiss, Twilight blushed brightly (even in the dark). Luna didn’t want to rush things so she changed the subject.
“Follow me and we’ll go to my observatory,” said Luna.
The elegant Alicorn led Twilight through halls that she’d never been. The thought of the kiss she’d just shared with Luna kept creeping into her head. And for the first time in her life, Twilight was actually checking out another mare’s flanks. The way they were swaying was almost hypnotic, the large color splotch on which her cutie mark was located was now quite apparent. She suddenly got the odd idea in her mind wondering if the patch continued on to the other side or was there a gap under her tail. As her imagination worked she found herself thinking of Luna’s marehood, if surrounded by a blue or black coat. Twilight’s own marehood was starting to feel warm and wet.
‘What’s with me?’ thought Twilight. ‘I’ve never thought about anything like this before. Then I’ve never been kissed like that before either. Does it matter that Luna is a mare? The kiss was quite pleasant. Perhaps the fact that she’s a mare really doesn’t matter.’
Suddenly Twilight’s face impacted with Luna’s flanks. Luckily, her horn wasn’t in any position to do any injury. Luna had stopped and now was looking at Twilight amused.
“If you want a closer look, just ask.” said Luna, with a teasing flick of her tail.
“I’m sorry Luna,” said Twilight, “I was distracted.”
“I hope so,” said Luna with a quirky smile, “I was trying my best.”
Twilight stood there shocked, Luna was really ‘coming on’ to her.
A door before them opened, there was a tight spiral stair that led to the upper platform of the tower.
It was dizzying, it was perhaps the highest point of the castle and on the side that overlooked the shear drop to the valley below. There weren’t any walls, battlements or safety rails. The look on Twilight’s face didn’t go un-noticed.
“What’s the matter Twilight?” asked Luna.
“It’s…it’s so high!” said Twilight, slightly panicked, “nothing to keep a pony from going over the side.”
Luna laughed hard;
“You mean like this?”
She ran to the side and continued over the edge. But Luna just hung there in the air, flapping her wings. Then she flew back to Twilight.
“We can fly, remember?”
Twilight looked sheepish again.
“I guess I’m still not used to the wings yet.”
Luna laughed again and gave Twilight a small kiss.
“You can be so silly, Twilight,” said Luna.
Twilight smiled, it was nice to hear Luna talk to her so comfortably. And she found that she was really liking the kisses.
Luna walked over to the device that dominated the platform. It was the largest telescope that Twilight had ever seen.
“So what was it you were observing tonight?”
“I was looking at the Horsehead Nebula.” Said Twilight, “I’ve always been fascinated by the way the dust lanes show against the red emission nebula behind.”
Luna just smiled and turned her attention to the telescope.
“Right ascension 05h 40m 59.0s. Declination -02° 27’ 30.0”. 1,500 light years away,” said Luna.
Twilight was spellbound by the depth of Luna’s knowledge. She had heard Rainbow talk of being aroused by a pony ‘talking dirty’ to her. Twilight found the same with Luna ‘talking science’ to her.
There was a dark blue aura around the device and it started to move. Luna looked into it then waved Twilight to come over. Twilight approached and Luna backed away from the eyepiece. Twilight looked in and adjusted the fine focus with her magic.
The image jumped out at her, it was the most magnificent thing she’d ever seen. She stood there in mesmerized fascination. She didn’t even notice that the late night temperature was making her shiver slightly. That is until a warm wing draped over her and a warm body was pressed against her.
Twilight looked away from the heavenly vision in the telescope to another heavenly vision standing next to her. The band of stars of the Milky Way across the sky made a stunning backdrop to the absolutely beautiful, almost god-like mare who was looking at her in a way she had never seen anypony look at her before.
“Twilight?” said Luna.
“Yes?” replied Twilight, not knowing why it was becoming hard to breath.
“Do you trust me?”
“Yes, I trust you Luna.”
“No Twilight, do you trust me?”
Twilight could sense what the Princess of the Night was asking.
Twilight always wondered how she would react if and when this moment would come. Now it was without any thinking or analyzing.
“Yes Luna, I trust you.”
Luna leaned in to kiss Twilight as Twilight did the same. This time it was so much deeper. In the past, she’d thought that another pony’s tongue in her mouth would be disgusting, but now! Oh but now Twilight wanted more! Luna’s wing pulled Twilight closer. Twilight’s foreleg reached up around Luna’s neck and pulled her closer as well.
Parts of Twilight’s body, that she had never given any thought to were now screaming at her. She was becoming so wet, she was afraid that she’d peed herself. Luna broke the kiss, a line of saliva was still connecting the two mare’s tongues. Once again, Luna asked;
“Twilight, do you trust me?”
“Yes Luna, I trust you.”
There was a familiar glow around the two, then in a flash they were in a room reminiscent of the bed/living area she had seen of Princess Celestia's. It was decorated differently, a bit more dark but comfortable. There was a low fire burning in the hearth to ward off the chill from the grand open and glassless windows. In the middle of the room was a large cushion/bed, not unlike the one Celestia favored.
Luna walked over to it and climbed on and lowered herself down to her belly with her folded legs under her.
“Please join me,” said Luna. It wasn’t a command, it was an honest request.
Twilight climbed on and didn’t have to be told to put herself next to Luna, as close as possible, they both draped a wing over the other. The warmth of Luna’s body was arousing. Twilight had never been so aroused before.
“Do you realize that you are a Princess of the Night, just like me? I’m the moon, you’re the stars,” said Luna.
“I’d never thought of it that way,” said Twilight, snuggling a little closer. “It’s as if we were made for each other.”
Luna nodded her head;
“Perhaps we were.”
Luna and Twilight kissed again. When they broke the kiss, Twilight’s head was spinning.
“Have you ever been with another pony?” whispered Luna, her big blue eyes locked in Twilight’s purple eyes.
Twilight was about to answer that she had always been with lots of other ponies. But it struck her what Luna was asking. Luna wasn’t asking if she’d been around friends, she was wanting to know if Twilight was a virgin.
“No, Luna,” whispered Twilight, slightly embarrassed, “I never have.”
“Purity is nothing to be ashamed of Darling,” whispered Luna advancing her muzzle to Twilight’s.
Luna kissed her again. It was deeper yet, Luna started to stroke Twilight’s mane, then down her back to her dock. Twilight instinctively raised her tail, but Luna stopped there.
“Twilight, Star of my sky, do you trust me?”
“Yes Luna, my exalted Moon, I trust you.”
Luna continued her hoof down, under Twilight’s tail. The sensation was about to drive her wild. Nopony had ever touched her there.
“Star of my sky, do you trust me?”
“Yes my Moon,” said Twilight with a tremble, she never wanted anything or anypony like she was wanting Luna now. “I trust you..... I want you.
I want you to make love to me.”
Luna smiled and gently rolled Twilight onto her back. As Luna started to kiss Twilight’s neck, the world disappeared, the only thing left was the magnificent pony that was tenderly leading Twilight to levels of passion and ecstasy she didn’t know existed.
CHAPTER TWO: A Bright Day
*CHAPTER TWO*
A Bright Day
Twilight stretched as the morning light shown on her face. She had never felt so good waking up ever. Then the memories of the night came flooding back. She opened her eyes to confirm that it wasn’t a dream. She was on a very large cushion, in Princess Luna’s bedchamber. It was confirmed, she and Luna had really made love almost all night. The thought of Luna was starting to do odd things to her. Twilight sat up and looked around. There was no other pony in the room with her.
“Moon?” said Twilight.
But there was no response. Then she noticed a note on the bed with her.
My Darling Star,
I didn’t wish to disturb your esteemed repose. Please feel
free to come to the castle dining room and have breakfast at
your leisure.
Your Moon
The ‘Moon and Star’ names made Twilight smile. Nopony had ever had a ‘pet name’ for her before.
Twilight knew that there was a large bathroom off Celestia’s suite so she looked and found that Luna’s suite was laid out the same. She took a quick shower and then started to leave the room when she realized she was not quite sure the way to go. Twilight looked out one of Luna’s windows to get her bearings and saw the balcony of the castle dining room below.
‘What the heck?’ thought Twilight.
She spread her wings and with new-found confidence, leaped through the window and flew down to the balcony. With her magic, she opened the door and entered. At a long table sat Celestia and Luna at opposite ends.
“Twilight!” said Celestia, looking up and seeing Twilight enter, “Luna told me you were here and she was expecting you to join us. How did you sleep?”
Twilight froze, she wasn’t sure what to say. How much did Luna tell her sister. Would Celestia be upset at her if she knew that she and Luna were ‘doing it’ all night, right under her nose.
The two saw the look on Twilight’s face. Luna laughed and Celestia smiled.
“Twilight,” said Celestia, “you’re an adult and a princess. You’re free to have intimacies with anypony that consents, even my sister. So don’t be embarrassed. Luna is an honorable pony and has a heart as large as all Equestria, and she doesn’t give that heart to just anypony. If it means anything, I’m very happy for the two of you!”
“Come sit by me, my sweet Star,” said Luna motioning to an open cushion beside her.
Twilight sat by Luna who reached out, took Twilight’s hoof and kissed her quite passionately.
When the kiss broke, Twilight saw Celestia smiling quite warmly, she really didn’t mind Twilight being involvedwith her sister.
There was a plate of pancakes, muffins and fruit. There was also a pot of coffee and pot of tea along with milk and water. It had been years since she had eaten at the castle and the food was as good as she remembered.
They ate the delicious breakfast, the talk was light. Luna would often glance at Twilight and smile. Twilight would return the smile. When Luna would talk to Twilight, she would reach out a hoof and hold Twilight’s or stroke her shoulder.
It was beyond what Twilight ever expected, to have a pony, especially a pony as important as Luna fawning on her. Twilight returned the affection as best she could. At first it felt odd, she’d never been affectionate, at least as lover to lover with anypony before. And under the watchful eyes of her mentor there was still the slightest bit of apprehension.
But with Luna calling Twilight ‘Her Star’ and Twilight calling Luna ‘Her Moon’. The fact was sinking in, this might just be the beginning of a relationship that could go deeper and farther than Twilight ever expect to go with anypony. Love and relationships were never a subject that Twilight had ever given any thought to. And now, it was all Twilight could do not to keep staring at Luna, thinking of her touch, her kiss, her…..
“Twilight,” said Celestia, interrupting Twilight’s thoughts, “it’s fortuitous that you are here. I was going to contact you for a meeting. Now that you’re past the shock of your coronation, it’s time we talk about what will be expected of you. Worry not, it’ll be nothing you can’t handle and nothing too demanding. Will you be staying with us for today?”
Twilight felt Luna take her hoof, letting her know that she was hoping that Twilight would stay.
“I think that Luna and I have things to talk about,” said Twilight, smiling at Luna who had the same look on her face.
“Good,” said Celestia, “Luna’s duties are done until tonight and I have things that have to be attended to, so we can meet later this afternoon, if that’s okay with you and my sister.”
“That will be good, my sister,” said Luna.
“With me as well,” said Twilight.
“Then if you’ll excuse me,” said Celestia, getting up and heading to the door.
Luna and Twilight stood and Celestia left the room.
The two started to walk back to Luna’s apartments.
“Star, this is very important,” said Luna, it looked as if she was slightly embarrassed, “I want you to know up front that I’ve been with other ponies in the past. But it’s always been the same thing. Affection, passion and then old age and death. I finally told myself that I couldn’t go through it again.
Understand that this is not just because of your ‘elevation’, I’ve been attracted to you from almost the start. And now I’ve the chance for a love that will last forever…we have the chance.”
Twilight looked stunned.
“Moon, are you telling me that I am immortal?”
“Yes,” said Luna, “you’re now an Alicorn. Alicorns are immortal. Celestia is, I am, Cadence is, and now you my Darling.”
Twilight slumped back down to her haunches. The world went gray, then black.
Twilight opened her eyes, she was resting on her back on the cushion/bed in Luna’s room, Luna was sitting with her holding her hoof and stroking the bangs of her mane.
“You gave me quite the start my Darling!” said Luna, concern in her eyes, “I thought you already knew.”
“I never thought about it,” said Twilight, “nopony said anything. I guess if I’d thought about it, the question would’ve come to mind.”
Luna Leaned over and kissed Twilight, Twilight put her forelegs around Luna’s neck and pulled her close. Then it struck Twilight;
“Are you saying that you love me Moon?”
“I’ve loved you since you helped me that Nightmare Night.” Said Luna, “I was always afraid to say anything because of what I told you of the mortality of past lovers. But now, fate had dealt us a hand that can make a lasting love possible.”
“On that Nightmare Night, I wanted to go to you right away, spike held me back. But when I was with you, I felt so comfortable. I’ve never felt so at ease around your sister. And when you gave Rainbow Dash that shock, it felt so good to laugh with you. I didn’t want the evening to end. I‘d found a pony to relate with, another pony who, like myself had had trouble adjusting to friends and opening up to other ponies. A pony that I had more in common with than I’d first realized.
Thinking back on that, and how I’ve felt when we’ve interacted since then, I don’t think I can think of anypony that would be a better pony to love,” said Twilight, “you’re intelligent, witty, and a very beautiful mare. I’ve never been attracted to mares in the past, but I’ve never been attracted to stallions either.”
"Star, my love,” said Luna with a smile, “over my many years, I’ve found that it doesn’t matter mare or stallion. To love a pony is to love a pony.”
Twilight looked lovingly into Luna’s eyes.
“I love you Moon,” said Twilight.
“And I love you Star,” replied Luna.
Each kiss Twilight received was that much better than the last.
Twilight was laying in the embrace of Luna, her head resting on Luna’s chest while Luna was on her back. They were both in a very light sleep induced from the afterglow of their love making. Luna was impressed with how quickly Twilight was learning the techniques that she was teaching her. ‘Who said bookworms are poor lovers,’ Luna had thought.
Their slumber was interrupted by a knock at Luna’s chamber door. The two mares were quickly roused from their slumber.
“Come in,” called out Luna, Twilight raised her head from Luna’s chest.
“My Princesses,” said the guard at the door. “Princess Celestia sends word that she’s ready to meet with the two of you when ready.”
“Very good,” said Luna, “let my sister know that we’ll be there directly.”
Luna then leaned in and whispered to Twilight;
“Dismiss him,” she said with a chuckle.
Twilight looked at the guard.
“You’re dismissed,” Twilight called out.
“Yes Your Highness,” said the guard then he bowed and backed out.
Twilight giggled. Luna joined her then started tickling Twilight’s chest. Twilight was unfortunately, very ticklish. The tickling only stopped when Twilight reached out around Luna’s neck and pulled her in for a very passionate kiss.
They broke the kiss, both breathing heavily
“My sister is waiting on us,” said Luna.
“I guess we shouldn’t keep her,” said Twilight.
They kissed again and got up to see what Celestia had to say.
In the throne room, Celestia was already there waiting, Luna ascended to her throne. Twilight stood before the dais as she had in the past. Twilight bowed and awaited Celestia, Luna giggled.
“Rise, Princess Twilight,” said Celestia, “I need you now to understand how things work. I’m a princess just like you. Yes I’m senior, first among equals as it were. But we hold the same rank. As such, only under formal state functions will you bow or address me as formal. I’m sure my sister feels the same. I know that I’d feel odd if the pony I was ‘bedding’ had to bow to me!”
Twilight blushed.
At that moment, a unicorn guard came in levitating a throne to the dais and placed it beside Celestia’s, the opposite side of Luna’s.
“Please take your place, Princess Twilight,” said Celestia.
Twilight was lost. She’d been taught in the past, because of her position with Princess Celestia that she was by ‘etiquette’ allowed to be up as far as the last step before the platform of the dais. This was two steps above where any other pony was allowed to approach. Never had she ever thought that there’d be a throne for her on the dais, beside her teacher and mentor. Twilight ascended to the throne designated for herself. She sat, never had she felt so out of place.
“Looks good Star,” said Luna.
“Thank you Moon,” said Twilight, “I wish it felt good. This is almost too much too soon.”
“Moon and Star, eh?” said Celestia with a large smile, “I never thought anypony would ever have a ‘pet name’ for you Luna. But you know, it fits, both of you.”
Another guard came in bearing a cushion with a small silver tiara with small stars on the peaks.
“Your crown that you have is to be used at formal situations and when the Elements of Harmony are in use. But to denote your station you need to wear this. Don’t feel self-conscious, you’ll get used to it. And it’s less pretentious than your official crown,” said Celestia.
With that, Celestia levitated it to Twilight’s head. It was more comfortable than her crown.
“It fits you Star,” said Luna with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Thank you Moon,” said Twilight, trying not to feel out of place.
“You know,” said Celestia, “I think that’s so cute!”
Both Luna and Twilight blushed.
“Down to business,” said Celestia, still smiling, “Twilight, as princess, you’ll have more responsibilities and expectations. Don’t worry about being given any realm to rule, yet. You need to learn statecraft, diplomacy and other things that you will eventually need if you are to become an effective leader and ruler.”
“Ruler?” said Twilight.
“Don’t worry yet,” said Celestia with a mild chuckle, “you aren’t anywhere near ready. But what is going to have to happen is I am going to have to recall you to Canterlot.
I’m sure that you knew that Ponyville was never intended to be a permanent situation. And that is why you have lived in a library and not in a house. Plus I’m sure that when you were elevated to princess you’d figure that being a librarian would not be your destiny.”
“I’ve thought of that, princess…”
“Celestia,” corrected the princess. “I know it’ll be hard at first, but it’s easier on all of us. You already call your sister-in-law Cadence, and you now address you lover as Luna, or I guess Moon. I’m no different, we are princesses, and rank has its privileges. Familiarity with me is one such privilege.”
“Okay, Celestia, I’ve thought of that, but I wasn’t sure where it would go,” said Twilight.
“Let me ask a question,” said Celestia, “and please be honest and frank. How serious are you with Luna? It is just sex or is there more?”
Twilight blushed;
“I now know that I love your sister,” said Twilight, “I think I have for some time.”
“And I love Twilight,” said Luna, “we’ve talked about this, and I think that we’ve discovered that we both have had feelings for some time but haven’t ever tried to express them.”
“I’m so glad to hear that, your joy brings me happiness!” said Celestia, “Because of that, I think that will make moving back to Canterlot easier. You’ll have your own suite and castle personnel assigned. But I’m sure that you’ll probably be more comfortable if you cohabitate with Luna.”
Luna’s face lit up at the suggestion. Twilight’s was just as joyous. Both mares were already imagining living with the pony that they had found so special.
“I know that this will be the hard part, but to keep the pain to a minimum, I believe that you should return to Ponyville, collect your personal items and move in right away,” said Celestia.
“My friends,” said Twilight, not really to anypony.
“Your friends will always be your friends,” said Celestia, “they will be free to visit at any time. Some may actually be useful for you staff.”
“My staff?”
“Yes, you’ll need a secretary, a captain of your personal guard, and other attendants. Cooks and cleaning staff are shared. If you want, you can retain others such as your own dress maker, gardener and such. I think I can think of some of your friends that may be a good fit for some of those roles.”
“What about the Elements of Harmony,” asked Twilight.
“The Elements of Harmony choose all of you,” said Celestia, “that will not change unless they choose new wielders.”
“I will need to send a message to Spike to let the others know what is going on. I would like to stay one more night before going back to pack up.” Said Twilight who thought for a moment, “I never thought that my leaving Ponyville would happen like this. I’ll miss them, but I so want to be with Luna now. My heart is hers, I truly love her!”
“As I said, I am so happy for you two.” Said Celestia, “and as far as the message to Ponyville, I already sent it.”
Luna sprung up and hugged her sister. Celestia looked at Twilight and held out a foreleg, Twilight understood that she was being invited to join the hug.
“As Twilight hugged Celestia/Luna, Celestia kissed both ponies on the forehead and said to Twilight;
“Welcome to our family.”
The two went back to their seats, Celestia looked at the windows.
“It is time for us to do our duty, sister,” said Celestia.
Luna nodded and then looked at Twilight.
“Come with us, my Star,” said Luna with a gleam in her eyes, “you will learn to raise and lower the moon!”
Twilight became so excited that she was going to be taught such advanced magic.
