The next thing I knew after passing out in my bed, my eyes opened at a slow pace, as I was once again welcomed by the familiar breeze brushing past my cheeks and making a faint whistling as it flew through the grass. I couldn't help it. The very second I saw the same amazing full moon and sky that was overflowing with a magnitude of radiant constellations I don't even think I've even seen before. I felt full, a smile widening the longer I looked at the moon.

I felt a warm sensation building in my chest as it grew and came to be on my face. Thoughts of Luna, and only Luna plaguing my mind and never leaving for a moment. "I did it. I really did it." I spoke aloud, pure bliss resonating from me. "I can see her again...!”

I jolted upright and began my search for the midnight mare. Memories of her beautiful smile engraved on her muzzle flashing relentlessly passed my eyes.

Where is she? I thought, with slight anxiety at the back of my mind, pushing through to the front of my thoughts. The idea of her not showing up itched its way into my head.

But then I saw her... The princess of the night; fully dressed in a black dress that puffed out around her flanks, with a stream of silver curling its way around her neck and down the sides of the dress in somewhat of a spiral fashion. She smiled brightly when she saw me walking closer and closer. As I got close enough to see her in full, I noticed she was wearing a strange necklace that looked as though it had every phase of the moon interlocked with on another as they spun around her neck. I kind of felt under-dressed since all I was wearing was what I fell asleep in; a black t-shirt and slacks, in my bare feet.

"You look...mesmerizing." I said breathlessly from the shock of seeing her in such a formal state, much different than what I was used to from the night before.

"W-we thank you Seth. We d-did our best for this night." She looked to the side with a small blush present on her face.

"Just, for me? Luna, you're absolutely perfect even without all this." I told her. "But you do look amazing in that dress." I winked at her and she once again blushed at my complement and spoke with her cute little stutter, I simply couldn't get enough of.

"W-would thou c-care for a walk?" she asked me in the most adorable way I think she could. A warm smile spread across her muzzle, cheeks turning a warm shade of pink the longer she looked at me.

"Sound's great, Luna." I replied, honestly.

We started walking in an unknown path for quite some time before I noticed she was obviously leading me to somewhere she visited frequently. We came across a beautiful garden filled to the brim with glorious white lilacs, and blue roses that wafted a wondrous sent directly towards us, thanks to the breeze that seemed to follow me everywhere.

I inhaled deeply, loving the smell of my favorite flowers, thrown everywhere I could see. (She must have known…) Luna started walking into the garden through the green hedge's that kept the garden secret and private from any passerby that seemed too curious. And I soon followed after her as my dumbstruck body decided to move at last.

"This is our favorite place to come when we visit the plane." She spoke to me as she smelled one of the thousands of lilacs that almost had a certain glow of their own as she leaned forward, accidentally becoming hidden for a moment by the surrounding flowers."Winter lilacs are our favorite flower. They were too magnificent to only be seen in winter, so we decided to let them bloom every day of the year, here, along with the roses that our dearest friend gave us when we were just a foal."

"They're marvelous Luna." I loved the site of her being happy. “You must have really cared for her to plant them here, where they’ll never wilt.” Wait... she said "plane", like, plane of existence? "Uhm, Luna." She turned to me and tilted her head. "You said 'when you come to this plane'. Does that mean, were, well; not in a dream?"

Luna seemed shaken by this. He still didn't think she was real...did he? She spoke to herself as she felt the all too familiar pain of depression washing over her. "You think this is a dream, don't you, Seth?" Well of course I thought it was a dream, how else would I be able to talk to a pony of such grace?

"Well...yeah, Luna, how else could I talk to a pony?" After I said this, Luna's eyes began to glisten. Of course...even he didn't think she was worth enough to ponder maybe, just maybe, she was real and not just some 'illusion' or 'specter' to everypony else.

She fell to her haunches and started to cry into her now, dampening hooves. "Luna, please don't cry. I'm sorry." I ran to her side as I said this. "It’s just; I thought that I created you. I came here after I fell asleep, so I naturally assumed this was just an amazing dream I conjured. I'm so sorry Luna." I kneeled down beside her, to hold her as close as I could, to at least try to make her feel wanted. I can't stand it when she cries, it’s like my heart is being ripped apart with every tear that falls from her sapphire orbs. "Please Luna. Stop crying. I'll do anything; I can't bear to see you like this."

"Y-yeah right, y-you d-d-don't even t-think I'm r-real-l-lll" She bawled into her hooves as I hugged her tight.

"That's not true, Luna. There's no way I could ever feel as much as I feel for you if you weren't real." I said to her as best I could as I felt tears of my own start to well and fall from my eyes. "I'm sorry, Luna, I'm so, so sorry I ever said something so pitiful like that. You’re the only thing I could ever feel is real. If I could, I would stay here with you until the day my body is torn asunder by the ravages of time. I'd rather stay here with you than go back to that imitation of the 'real' world. Without you, there’s nothing for me to return for. The entire day I was without you by my side, I couldn’t get you out of my mind, even if I tried to. I actually got to the point that I need to see your face again and sketched an imitation of you, just so I could think you were near.” I chuckled lightly as I remembered how much work I put into the drawing, compared to anything I did at work.

Luna felt herself almost instantly stop sobbing, her tears drying up at the mention of him needing to draw her just to get through his day. As she looked up at the man holding her tight and crying as he spoke of how much he truly cared for her, and how he would dismiss his world in an instant, if it were to mean he could be with her. "True-truly?" she tried to speak even though her throat had become somewhat soar from the bawling she had just been through.

"Yes, Luna, a thousand times yes. In my eyes, you’re the only thing that matters anymore, the light, which gave me, hope and guided me through the darkness. The shining beam that brought me to remember what happiness felt like." I declared, (I wasn't lying either, she literally brought me from that black void of utter loneliness and pain, to her divine beauty) as my tears wouldn't stop flowing. The very site, or sound of her in distress or pain, leaving me as a puddle of a man, covered in tears.

Luna now let a calm smile flow over her features as she let out a sigh. "Good." She reached up and kissed me on the cheek. "Because, we do not think we could stand to be away from you again." Now there's something that can stop me from crying; a kiss from the most amazing mare in existence. (true I’ve only ever met, one. But who cares, she IS the most amazing mare)

After a few minutes of holding each other in our respective grasps, we stood and I couldn't not ask this question. "If this is a different plane... where are we?" Once again she tilted her head and let out a faint chuckle from my (to her at least) obvious question.

"Why, dear Seth, we’ve entered and are on the ethereal dreamscape." She spoke with some pride in her voice.

"Righhhhht. And what exactly is that...” I deadpanned from her answer. She didn't exactly explain what the hell it was or even where the ‘ethereal dreamscape’ was.

"This is a plane that only our-self have been able to transverse. It was a place where we would once watch over our subjects, in their dreams. Making sure horrible nightmares (heh) would never deprive them of their sleep and destroy their drowsy psyche further than they already had. But...that was of course before our mistake and banishment…" She stared down to her hooves, and sighed heavily. "And before thou showed up and made us feel like we hadn’t in centuries. How might we ask were you seemingly able to enter the dreamscape with such little effort?"

I just stared. I was able to enter another plane...easily...without effort...by falling asleep. What, the actual fuck? "Uhhhhh. I fell asleep?" now it was her turn to stare blankly at me.

'Fell...asleep.' This is impossible! He must have had some kind of magic to get him here, there's absolutely no way he could eve-. She was shaken from her internal conflict by a hand waving in front of her face. "Luuuuuuuuuuuna. Hello? Any pony still in there?" I tried to knock on her head to extenuate my point, but was stopped by a blue hoof.

"You really didn't use magic? Not even by accident?"She asked in a serious tone. She desperately wanted to get to the bottom of this.

"Luna, I can't even grasp the core concept of magic that you tried to explain to me last night. Its not part of my world. I mean sure there are crappy magicians and stuff but, no legitimate 'magic'."

"Strange..." she thought aloud.”If you didn't use any form of magic, how is it you were even able to cross dimensions? Hmmm..."

While she thought it over I started thinking about anything that could have possibly lead to my ability to get here. I have read a shit load of lucid dreaming books, maybe that was it? No. This is real. I told myself. Let’s see...

We both stood there staring into space then both sat down, and she dropped her head into lap as we thought more and more of how it was that I even came here in the first place. For what seemed like an hour we sat there, trying to come up with a logical reason of my presence. Oh shit, we have been here for about an hour... I looked and saw the moon was tilted on its axis a little more than it was previous and I could clearly see it’s decent.
I kept thinking over what I had already come to think was a waste of time on my part, but again remembered the books I read on lucid dreaming and a few I picked up from my fami-.

"YESSSS!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, startling Luna in the process. "How could I have been so clueless?!" I had finally gotten the hang of it! I thought. This is so epic! I can’t wait to try it out later.

"What? Have thou found out the reason?"

"Ohhh yeah. I seriously can't believe it took me this long to figure it out." I let out a chuckle at my own stupidity.

"Well tell us! This has been hurting our head to think about." She developed a small frown and rubbed her head with a hoof, as she looked up from my lap.

"Hahaha, well you see Luna. Like I said, I hadn't been able to get to sleep for more than an hour every few days, so I thought 'hey, might as well buy some self help books on lucid dreaming and such'. But as I now know, thanks to you." I stroked her mane as she closed one eye and smiled at me. "I realized I wasn't dreaming so that was useless. But then I remembered a book my family had sent me. It was a novel filled with notes from when the guy found out he could lucid dream, travel out of his body, and even visit people while he did it!" I couldn't control my enthusiasm anymore, this was amazing for me.

"And in a certain chapter of his notes I found out he somehow realized he had the ability to astral travel. He could lift fully out of his body and fly anywhere and everywhere he wanted. In some of the notes he said that on certain occasions he was visited by people and creatures on different planes of existence that he called the 'second, and third body' he was even able to cross worlds and universes at his very whim. At the end of the book he gave a vague description of how he did it and how to expel your second body from the reality of the world around you. I deciphered as much I could from the notes he left and was studying it when I went to my psychology classes.” (They were useless anyways. The guy just blabbered on about mental health. Bad teacher, but that’s not the point here. The point is I can fucking astral travel!). I ended practically out of breath as my head was barraged with ideas of what I could accomplish now that I had found out exactly what had happened (screw college, this is happening every night! And hell, maybe even the days too!) And was now fully aware of my abilities.

"We see... but how is it you were drawn to this place?" She pondered.

I thought about it for a second before I came to the realization. "Guess I was drawn to a saddened mare in need of my help." I said to her as I placed my hand on her head and began to pet her mane once more. She cooed as I continued petting her silken mane.

"Well there's no pony we would have rather to come to our aid." she said as she slowly started to push into my stroking.” I'm glad it was you, Seth."

"So am I Luna. I can't think of a reality I wouldn't have wanted to meet you." I looked down to her and she hopped onto her hind legs as I stood up, wondering what she was doing, then she let her hooves rest on the middle of my chest as she leaned forward and gave me a gentle, but lightly firm kiss as I grabbed her flanks in both hands and felt her moan into my mouth.
The feeling of her soft and pliable lips on my own, sending a shiver down my spine. I slipped my tongue past her teeth and just as soon as I did, I felt her own tongue trying to tackle and fight mine for dominance over the kiss. Finally I was able to force her tongue to the wall of her muzzle, then bring it into my waiting mouth, and suck on her smooth muscle as she moaned into the kiss again, giving me a slight smirk.

Now that I could solely focus on her, I let her sent sink in.”Mmmm” I moaned into her mouth. Vanilla and blueberries ...still can't knock that wonderful, natural sent of nightshade that's burned into my head though. She smells and looks simply divine, she really did get all dressed up, just for me.

She broke the kiss, a large 'pop' resounding from the force of it, and hopped down giving me a small flick of her tail as she started galloping away through the flowers and out the garden, then, looking back grinning widely.

"Playful, and beautiful. You truly are perfect, Luna." I said out loud as I had already started running after her.
I’m SO glad I never paid attention in Psych. This is going to be a night full of anything that I can do to make Luna smile. And in return, fill that gap inside me, where she already started to fill.

When I finally caught up with Luna I was almost exhausted (I need to start running more) and by the time I was close enough to see her smirking face, she flicked her tail over my nose and galloped away. This mare... I thought. Oh she's gunna get it for sure.

I sprinted as fast as my legs would go and caught up to her, and when I reached out to try and pick her up, she stopped dead in her tracks leaving me to trip and fly into the grass below. "Ow." I said through clenched teeth.

When I looked up, all Luna could do was fall to her back and laugh up a storm. "Ahahahaha! You-you should s-see your face!" She wouldn't even stop laughing to talk as she pointing her hoof at me and continued her gust of laughter.

This. Damn. Mare. I got to me feet rather quickly and begun striding my way over to her, cracking each knuckle in both hands slowly as I got closer.

"Oooooo, what's the big bad human gunna do about it?" she closed her eyes as she started to laugh hysterically again. Bad move Luna!

While her eyes were closed, I saw my opportunity and I tackled her while my hands moved over every part of her body that they could reach. She immediately regretted making me trip as her eyes were practically bulging out of her head when I gave her sides a light pinch and watched her squirm beneath me. I pinched her sides a couple more times basking in her screeches and screams from the tickle torture she was receiving. Ah, music to my ears, I thought to myself.

"Hahahahaha, no! P-please! Stop, t-this!"She pleaded, but that only encouraged me as I brought my hands to her neck and started wiggling my fingers around her soft coat where she pleaded for it to stop once more. "Stop! Stop! Please I'll do w-what ever you w-want!" she said through giggles and chuckles.

I let up on my tickle abuse and held myself over her. I stared into her eyes as I moved so close to her muzzle I could feel her hot and deep breaths on my mouth. I let a hand drift down to settle on the inside of her right thigh. She inhaled sharply when she felt my hand on a spot so intimate.

She stared at me wide eyed as I leaned down to her velvet ear, brushing against it softly. "Anything?" I asked in a deep, husky voice, as my hand started to make small patterns on her warm thigh. She blushed, a deep red covering her entire muzzle as she tried to find her voice while her mouth opened and closed several times.

"W-well...th-th-that...isn't....um...what we...what we m-meant." She stumbled over her words so much I thought she would never talk right again.

She pushed lightly on my chest and slid out from under me with such speed, the flash would cry tears of joy. That's all I could take. "Oh sweet Jesus, that was great!" I rolled onto my side laughing harder than I ever had before. "I can't believe you actually, actually thought I was going for it! Ahahahahaha!" I broke into another fit of laughter, I just couldn't hold it all in.

All the while Luna's sitting on her haunches, glaring daggers at me, her blush only slightly faded from her puffed out cheeks. "It wasn't funny..." She said to me as I was rolling on the ground holding my sides. I came down from what was my first all out ROFL.

"Oh come on, Luna. I thought you like jokes?" I said with all the seriousness I could muster, feeling another ROFL epidemic approaching.

"We do." Luna spoke with puffed out cheeks and an annoyed expression with a hint of pink still burning on her face. "Just, not when you decide to stop when you’re getting to the good part." Her voice developed a sultry tone as she swayed her hips on her walk over to where I was laying down.

"Wait, what?" I asked a little surprised and not sure if I heard her right.

"What? You don't like getting to the punch line?" she sat on my waist as she said this and stared at me with half lidded eyes, her hips grinding back and forth in an agonizingly slow pace. "Because that's always my favorite part.” She added with pure arousal dripping from each word.

When I was about to answer, she brushed her tail over my face a few times then whispered in her normal, happy tune. "Just kidding" And that's when she carefully and insanely slowly I might add, began lifting off of where she was straddling my waist and just started walking away. Leaving me there, contemplating where the hell I went wrong, and she went so right.

Note to self: Never try to make ANY sexual joke with Luna again. She will win. I mentally pinned the note to my brain’s 'don't mess with Luna' wall. Which is sadly, pretty much covered in the yellow sticky notes.

As I lay there I looked down to the tent in my pants and thought aloud. "Why boner, just why."

"Sorry, what was that?" Luna said to me as I tried my best to get the images of sexy Luna out of my head.

"Nothing!" I replied as quickly as I could, and thanked the stars that my hard on calmed the hell down so I could walk again. She raised a hoof to her mouth to try to stifle the giggle that escaped her muzzle, but failed and laughed for a moment at how fast I answered her.

“I knew this was going to be a great night, Luna.” I said to her as she smiled at me and gave me a peck on the cheek then galloped after a monarch butterfly that seemed to land on a flower she was inspecting. “That had to be the cutest thing you’ve done so far.” I spoke to myself as I walked after her, watching as she slowly took to the air and floated next to the butterfly, a content smile on her face.

I will never get tired of that smile, I told myself.

Author's Note

Now this may seem a little rushed in some parts, but I can only say, I haven't slept in two days and have been living off coffee. Just wanted to get this chapter up for some reason. I decided Seth's ability of how he can get to the plane was going to be put in this chapter, cause I wanted to just make it a little bigger. As per usual; CRITICIZE AS HARD AS YOU CAN, HUZZAH!
