Gilda, The Sky's The Limit

Luna had woken up early to look after her private garden, seeing as winter was coming up.
"There we go, all watered and happy my little flower friends." Luna smiled and looked upwards to see Gilda flying over.
"Hi there Gilda." Luna waved to Gilda who came down to land. "Morning Luna." Gilda was panting from flying.
"A bit tired I see." Luna giggled. "Listen Gilda I forgot to tell you something about your replacement wing."
"And that would be what?" Gilda asked with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
"Well it lasts a year then I’ll have to do the spell again... sorry that it's not perman-" Gilda hugged Luna.
"Stop saying sorry already. It wasn't your fault I lost my wing it was that weird goat thing." Gilda let go of Luna.
"Besides I was going to ask you something that's all." Luna gave a curious look.
"Seeing as winter's coming up, do you want to go somewhere for the holidays?" asked Gilda.
"What did you have in mind?" asked Luna, smiling at the idea.
"I have a little cabin near the beach for winter. Want to join me?" Gilda held out her claw as if she was giving an invite.
"Of course Gilda, though winter wrap up isn't for a few months though." Luna shook Gilda's claw. "But I would love to, just need to tell cele that I won't be here this year for winter wrap up."
"Fine. Do you want to get some lunch, I’m starving." Gilda's stomach rumbled loudly. "Sure, I’m buying." said Luna, opening the portal back to canterlot.

Luna grabbed some change and went off with Gilda to a little restraunt. "This is the place." Gilda and Luna went inside the small and deserted restraunt. "This is rather quiet." said Luna looking around at the place. it had some deserts and ice cream so it was sweet shop but there was no kids any were, no pony's to enjoy the music that played in the background, no one.

"Gilda!" the shop keeper came out and ran up to Gilda. "Twirly my friend, how are you?"
"Oh good. Low business for a while but nothing else." Twirly sighed.
"Well I’m here, your usual regular and I brought a friend with me. Twirly meet Luna, my best friend."
Twirly looked at Luna. "Hi there Luna. So what can I get you two today? Chocolate Sundays, some muffins or something else?"
"I’ll just I have some ice cream please."
"I’ll have your sugar explosions Twirly." Luna was curious. "A what?"
"There muffins with ice cream on top and a ton of sugar." Gilda started to drool. "Oh... I’ll have one of those then."
Twirly passed two sugar explosions to Gilda and Luna. Gilda ate her's in one bite and fell to the floor in a fit of laughter.
"Is that normal?" asked Luna. "Yep if you eat it one bite." said Twirly.
"I’ll just take a bit for now then." Luna took a small bite sending shivers down her spine. "I can see why Gilda likes these so much, there Delicious." Luna ate the rest and fell over laughing from a sugar rush.

10 minutes later...

Gilda and Luna stopped laughing as the sugar rush wore off.
"Twirly I’ll take a box full to go." Twirly went out back and got a box for Gilda. "Okay Gilda that will be 25 bits."
"What the hell last time it was 20 bits!" Gilda was slightly angry at this.
"I’m sorry I have to raise prices, seeing as I get so few customers." Twirly sighed.
"Here you go." Luna passed over 40 bits to Twirly. "Wow. Thanks Luna." Twirly smiled.
"It’s no problem. So Gilda what do you want to do now?" Luna came up with an idea. "Follow me I know where to go to."
Gilda followed Luna.

"Where are we going to anyway?" asked Gilda. Luna stopped and looked disappointed. "Never mind." said Luna, saddened.
"What’s wrong now?" asked Gilda, putting a claw on Luna's shoulder. "There used to be a little park here, were me and Cele would play when we were young. Now it's gone." Luna shed a few tears.
"Luna... I’m still here." Gilda wiped the tears out of Luna's eyes. "For how long though? How long before you disappear?"
"I dunno, a while yet." Luna was still crying. "Get on my back I want to show you something." Luna grabbed on and Gilda took off.

"Where are we going?" asked Luna, holding tightly on to Gilda. "Just a bit higher." replied Gilda.
"We’re here." Gilda set Luna onto some clouds. "Where are we anyway?" asked Luna.
"Just a way high up that's all. This is my little patch right here were I keep some stuff I find here and there."
Gilda got out a blue feather. "This belonged to rainbow dash, my best friend... before I met her other friends."
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." Gilda nodded. "Thanks. Though that's not the main reason I brought you up here." Gilda moved closer to Luna. "What are you doing Gilda?" asked Luna.
"I just want to tell you that I..." Gilda mumbled the last bit. "You what?" asked Luna.
"I love you Luna." Gilda held Luna tightly and started to cry. "Please don't hate me for saying that!" Gilda said, muffled by her tears. Gilda moved closer to Luna planted her beck of Luna's muzzle.
"Gilda..." Luna said after breaking the kiss. "I love you too... but..." Luna sighed.
"Luna... I love you more than anything. Your kind, caring and your willing to do anything for me." Gilda held Luna tightly.
"I just don't want to lose you." Luna stroked Gilda gently on the head. "Shh... it's going to be okay. I’ll never leave you Gilda."
Luna planted her muzzle on Gilda's beck, pushing her onto her back.
"What do you want to do now asked Luna?" she smiled at Gilda. "Well we could..." Luna widened her eyes.
"Not yet. I’m not ready for that yet. Besides, I would rather wait, until winter." Luna smiled at Gilda and planted another kiss on her beck. Gilda got up and picked up Luna and went back to the castle.

The day had gone by so quickly that it was sunset now.
"I’m going to head off to bed Luna see you to-" Gilda was cut off by Luna. "Could you stay up a bit longer tonight?" Luna said in a soft voice. "Okay Luna. What do you need to do anyway?" asked Gilda.
"Nothing much, just making some new stars that's all." Luna took Gilda to a balcony at the top of the castle.
"What colour should the stars be tonight Gilda, blue or white?" asked Luna, smiling at Gilda.
"What about a ton of colours instead of just those two?" Gilda suggested.
"Okay then." Luna jumped for joy. "Are you okay Luna? You’re acting really weird tonight." Gilda walked over to Luna and placed a claw on her shoulder. "Nothing’s wrong Gilda, I’m just happy that you’re up here with me that's all." Luna's horn glowed and changed the stars green, blue, pink, red and a bunch of other colours.
"Luna it's beautiful." Gilda said, at awe at the sky's multiple colours going across the night sky.
Gilda looked at Luna and saw she was asleep. "Off to bed Luna." Gilda picked up Luna and took her to her room.

"There you go Luna, all cosy and warm." Gilda placed Luna on her bed but as she left, Luna grabbed Gilda and held her close.
"Come here Gilda, Luna wants a hug." Luna said in her sleep. Gilda liked this as it felt nice to be with someone she loved truly rather than someone were the only thing they had in common was flying. Gilda fell asleep in Luna forelegs.
"Night Gilda." Luna whispered before planting a kiss on Gilda's head.
