Love and Power: A New Dawn

In Las Pegasus almost a month had passed since Twilight and Celestia's arrival. Neither one knew of any events that had happened around the world as they had shut themselves inside the room kissing and cuddling with blissful ignorance of anything outside their hotel room. Twilight was laying on the bed when Celestia crawled on top of her and looked deeply into her eyes. Celestia asked, "Twily, I know that both of us have had the time of our lives here but when do you think we should get going home?"

Twilight got a bit of a scared look on her face when Celestia asked this. She had become so happy with her and Celestia living in bliss in the hotel room that she never wanted to leave. She asked, "Celly, do we have to go back there? I really wish that you and I could just live in here forever. I don't want us to have to put up with anypony except for room service."

Celestia began to massage the inside of Twilight's mouth with her tongue. She pressed down on Twilight and kissed her deeply. She finally lifted her head and replied, "Twily, I really wish we could do that too but we do need to return to Canterlot. Don't worry, we can shut ourselves in our bedroom as much as we want."

Twilight asked, "But Celly, what about you having to raise and lower the sun? I have grown accustomed to us being wrapped together almost non-stop everyday I don't think I could survive without us being cuddled together."

Celestia smiled at Twilight. She began to stroke her wing through Twilight's mane. She pulled her close and replied, "Twily, it is ok. I am sure Luna will have no problems handling both the sun and the moon. She is probably enjoying doing it right now."

Twilight asked, "But Celly, there Luna could come in and yell at us. She could have her royal guard come barging in on us. Here we don't have to worry about being bothered. We don't have to worry about Luna being mean to us, we don't have to hear her yelling. Please could we stay here for a couple more days?"

Twilight began to tear up and Celestia could tell it. She laid back on top of Twilight and replied, "Of course we can stay here a couple more days Twily. I don't want my beautiful, sweet wife to be sad."

Twilight began to cling to Celestia like she did when they were in the library. She cried, "I just don't want us to ever be treated bad. I know Luna will be mean to us."

Celestia lifted Twilight's head up and said, "Twily, I will have a separate tower built for us. We won't have to live in the same castle as Luna. I will tell her that it will be her job to handle all affairs and that the only royal duties that you and I will have is making each other happy."

Twilight got a huge smile on her face. She grabbed Celestia and started kissing her passionately. She pulled back and replied, "Oh thank you Celly! Now our dreams of never having to be apart can become reality! I love you Celly, I love you!"

Celestia looked into Twilight's eyes and replied, "I love you too Twily!"

It was getting late so Celestia pulled Twilight close to her and neither was able to sleep all that well. Twilight turned around to where she was facing Celestia. She asked, "Celly, I can't sleep. I know you are right about us having to go home but I'm so scared of what Luna will do to us for being gone so long. What do you think she will do to us?"

Celestia kissed Twilight gently and replied, "Twily, I am going to be honest with you. I have been trying to put up a strong front but I am terrified of what Luna will do to us. She is far more powerful than she used to be and she has this idea that both of us are supposed to be these rigid, by the book overly independent princesses."

Twilight asked, "Why does she think that?"

Celestia replied, "Well I think a lot of it has to do with her not really understanding what romantic love is and her pure hatred of the little she does know about it. She does know what maternal love is, which she shows towards her royal guard all the time but with romantic love, she knows nothing of it."

Twilight asked, "So does she not have the ability to feel warmth and happiness the way we do?"

Celestia replied, "No, she doesn't."

Twilight and Celestia continued to talk until they finally fell asleep. For the remaining two days they were in Las Pegasus, they kissed, cuddled and talked until it was time for them to go.

Finally the morning arrived that they would leave. They decided to have one more breakfast in their room before departing. Twilight asked, "Celly, are you sure we have to leave today? We can't even stay just one more day?"

Celestia replied, "Twily, I think we need to get home. Besides, then it will be all the sooner that we can get our own tower built and then we can shut ourselves in there."

Twilight smiled at Celestia as they finished their breakfast. She said, "Alright Celly, I'm ready for us to go home. I'm ready for you to carry me into our bedroom for the very first time."

Celestia gave Twilight one more passionate kiss before they left their room. On the way out of the hotel they saw Flower Mane. Flower Mane asked, "Your Majesties, did you enjoy your stay here?"

Celestia replied, "Yes Flower Mane, we really enjoyed our stay here. My Twily wanted to stay here forever but I told her we had to get home."

Flower Mane laughed, "I could understand why. We do have the best luxury rooms in all of Equestria!"

After leaving the hotel Twilight and Celestia left Las Pegasus heading north towards Canterlot. They flew close together looking forward to being able to hold each other tight. They had no idea what sort of wrath awaited them when they got home. Very soon Celestia will wish she had listened to Twilight and that they had stayed in Las Pegasus forever.
