Chapter 28: New Sensations

Perspective: Luna

Jake had parted ways shortly after we left the building, saying we could cover more ground split up. I just nodded and continued on without him, but as I did, I felt a very small pain in my nether region, causing me to twitch.

'Ow! What was that...?' I thought as I looked behind me to find nothing.

Shrugging I continued on my way as I looked around at the destruction before me. Buildings lay in ruin along with some bodies, Verix and human alike, that were being cleaned up off the street. I walked over to the nearest soldier as I ignored the very slight burning sensation starting up in my nether region.

"Hello. Do you need any help with anything?" I asked as the soldier looked in my direction and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Uh... y-yeah... yeah!" He began as he shook his head and motioned to the destroyed buildings. "Um we need help cleaning up the streets so we can land our ships closer to the more seriously wounded." He said as he turned to me. "Think... you can help with that?" He asked looking down at my hooves.

I gave a small smile and nodded as I lit up my horn. He watched as all of the debris from the fallen buildings were surrounded with a blue aura and slowly lifted off the ground, before being flown over to an area out of the way and piled up into a small mountain.

"Hows that?" I said happily as he looked around shocked.

"..." He sat froze for a few seconds before flicking on his mic. "You are clear for landing... the debris has been..." He paused as he looked at me for a second. "... moved..."

I nodded and walked off, trying to push out the increasingly uncomfortable feeling in my lower body that was slowly beginning to rise.

'What is wrong with me... I've never felt like this before... especially... there' I thought as I shook my head and looked around. 'Hm... well I guess I can't really do much else but clean, I'm not the best at healing magic and I don't know anything about their biology.' I thought to myself as I chuckled. 'I don't really know PONY biology either...' I thought as I remembered how bad I was at science in general compared to my sister. 'Jeez... it would sure help me right now though...' I finished as I twitched my back leg.

Trying as hard as I can to ignore the strange empty feeling welling up inside me, I continued on my way down the streets of this city, taking in the sights.

'I never realized just how tall the buildings are! They're absolutely MASSIVE' I thought as I craned my neck up to look at a building that was as high as a mountain... it seemed.

"LOOK MOMMY A PONY!" Shouted a girlish voice from behind me.

I quickly spun my head around to see a small child running toward me, giggling all the way. I slowly lowered my head and gave a small smile.

"Hello little one... whats your name?" I said gently, causing them to skid to a stop and their eyes to widen.

They spun around and took off, before returning a few seconds later, tugging on another person's hand, bringing them towards me.

'Wow... this human looks much different' I thought as I looked at their body structure, taking note of the larger chest area. 'These must be their species females...' I thought as I looked at her bewildered face.

"Mommy mommy look! She talks!" The child said happily as she hopped up and down.

"Um... hello! Is this child yours?" I asked nicely getting her to blink a few times and slowly nod.

"J-Jennie, come on let's go." She said as she took a hold of the kids hand and quickly walked off.

"But mommy I wanna see the pony!" The child cried out as the two turned a corner.

I stood still for a few moments, just staring at where they ran off to before shaking my head and turning around.

'That was strange...' I thought to myself as I felt the strange sensation again, getting a shiver to travel through my body. 'Ugh... this is so-' I stopped as I got an idea. 'Of course! Lucy can help me! She has a med-bay on the ship!' I smiled as I turned and made my way to where we had left the ship.

"Welcome aboard Princess Luna." Lucy said aloud as I stepped through the doorway as it closed behind me. "Something you needed?"

Nodding I spoke up. "Yeah... is Jake here right now?" I asked as I looked around the cabin.

"Negative, he's still out." She said as I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew... good. There's something I need you to... check." I said awkwardly as I rubbed my two hind legs together.

"...yes?" Lucy asked as I reddened a bit.

"Can you do a... check up on me..." I paused as I hid behind my mane. "Back... um... there?" I asked awkwardly as I motioned behind me with my head.

A few seconds of silence went by before Lucy tuned in.

"....OH! Oh yes I can, I'm programmed to do any kind of checkups and services in the medical profession. What exactly are your symptoms?" She asked as the lights in the med-bay lit up.

"W-Well... I'm really sensitive... back there. And um... it kind of strained up now and then." I said as I left out the empty feeling from it.

"I... see..." Lucy said as silence went by as the med-bay lights shut off before I could reach. "Hold still." She said as a laser shot out of the ceiling and scanned my body. "Oh. That's it? It's nothing serious your're just in heat." She said as my eyes went wide.

"I... I'm sorry... what did you just say?" I asked hoping I misheard.

"Your in heat. It's a cycle for equines that causes their-" Lucy began before I cut her off.

"NONONO! I know WHAT it is but... it doesn't make sense." I said as I sat on the cool metal floor and shook my head. "There's no way."

"...excuse me for asking but... why is it impossible?" Lucy asked as I breathed out a sigh.

Groaning I covered my face with my hooves. "Alicorns don't GO into heat unless-" I cut off as my breath hitched. "Oh dear..."

"Oh dear what...? What is it?" Lucy asked as I let out a small whimper.

"Unless we feel a... Ahem... connection with somepony..." I said, emphasizing the word 'connection'.

"...oh..." Lucy replied.

"The worst part is... it doesn't go away easily... and just gets harder and harder to ignore..." I said as my thoughts shifted to someone particular.

'Nonononono... NO! This is crazy! I cant be... NO! We've only known each other for a while but... he does look really good for a huma- NO STOP IT BRAIN'

"Please Lucy! You can't tell him this!" I said pleadingly.

"Well. I won't mention it... but if he orders me to tell him I have no choice." She said as I let out a small whimper.

I sat in the ship, with a pillow over my head as I tried to drown out the world, and drown out my own thoughts.

'Nope nope nope nope nope nope' I thought as my thoughts slowly drifted to Jake. 'NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE'

My thoughts were cut off as the door to the ship flung open and a familiar voice rang out down the hall.

"Luna?! You in here?!" Shouted out Jake as my eyes shot open. "Hello?!" He called out again.

"I'm here..." I squeaked out before clearing my throat. "I'm here!"

I pulled the pillow off my head and fixed my mane just before he rounded the corner and looked at me as I gave him a small wave and sheepish grin.

"Where have you been? Come on you need to be out here for this... the council want's to publicly speak with you!" He said with a smile as he grabbed my hoof and got me to follow him as a shiver went down my spin.

"...good luck..." Lucy rang out over the speakers as I exited the ship and was immediately swarmed with what looked like dozens of news crews.

'Today just isn't my day...'
