Twilight was first to wake the next morning, her muzzle buried deep within the fur of Luna’s chest. She blushed a little, mostly due to the fact that she hadn’t cleaned her muzzle last night, and some of the remnants of Luna’s love juices had dried upon the princess’s chest.

This fact however didn’t seem to bother Twilight that much, who nuzzled closer into Luna’s embrace, drawing out a tiny giggle from the princess as she woke up, nuzzling into Twilight’s mane as the little mare giggled.

“Good morning Luna,” said Twilight, yawning as she stretched and got out of bed, slowly followed by the princess.

“Morning,” said Luna, stretching on the floor as a great yawn escaped her lips, “holy mother this feels weird.”

“What does,” asked Twilight, giving Luna a curious look.

“Waking up at this hour, we usually sleep through the daytime hours, only waking in the night to attend the night court and watch over our ponies as they slept.”

“Wow,” said Twilight, contemplating what this meant as they both headed down to the kitchen, Twilight getting them both breakfast before sitting down with Luna to enjoy their meal.

“So um…what plans do you have for today Luna, I mean you can’t be expected to hang around here all day can you.”

“That is correct my Twilight,” said Luna, “we must sadly part with thee for a little while, though if everything works out it will not be a long separation, we just hope our sister agrees to what we propose.”

“Hopefully so,” said Twilight, leaning against her and nuzzling into her neck before speaking. “I suppose you will also be telling her about us right, after all she will need to be informed of our relationship.”

“Um…actually Twilight, we shall not be informing our sister of our relationship with thee, not yet anyway.”

“What, but why?”

At this question, Luna blushed, getting really embarrassed and clearing her throat before speaking. “Well my Twilight you see, our sister um…is…well, she is very protective of us, and when it comes to ponies who…who try and woo us, she can be a little too protective.”

“Like how protective,” Twilight asked, fearing the answer as she noted the nervous smile on Luna’s face.

“Well…let us just say this, the last suitor who ever sought our hoof got confronted by Tia, and we found him years later in the Saddle Arabian desert speaking in tongues, which he continued to do for the rest of his life.”

Twilight was, for lack of a better word, horrified. The thought that her mentor, Princess Celestia herself, had caused such mental scarring to a pony that he had started speaking tongues, was just tantamount to terrifying. “And I just signed myself up to be her next target,” she thought, shaking from fear as she finally spoke up. “Um…maybe we should wait to tell her, you know, until we're ready.”

Luna nodded, “that would be good, but what about yourself my Twilight, what plans dost thou have for today?”

“Well first I need to find Spike,” said Twilight with a sigh, “I don’t know where he got off to yesterday, but he hasn’t come back yet, so I have to go find him, though I have a mighty suspicion I know where he is. After that is done though, I am going to go and hang out with my friend for a bit, which actually brings me to my next question.”

“Which is,” said Luna, looking curiously at her lover.

“Well…I was wondering if it would be ok to tell my friends, after all they might start wondering about me if I start spending a lot of time with you with no explanation.”

Luna thought about it for a moment, then nodded, “yes, we think it would be a good idea to tell them, though we would prefer it if you wait for us to come back, seeing as how we shall be spending much time with all of you.”

“Really,” said Twilight.

“yes, for that is what we are going to go talk to our sister about, to see if we might live in the town of Ponyville for a while, to better get used to the way our world has changed. So with that, we best be off, but fret not, we shall be back on the morrow.”

“I’ll hold you to that,” said Twilight, before giving Luna a parting kiss and watching her go, felling giddy and happy and many other emotions, many of which she knew she would be feeling again soon.

Celestia tapped her hoof on the ground as she waited for her sister to return, worry coursing through her veins as she scanned the skies for her. She tried to remain calm, but her protective instincts in regard for her sister were nagging at her to just abandon all reasonability and begin tearing the realm apart looking for her.

“Father always said I was a bit overprotective,” thought Celestia, “but I can’t help if I worry about her, she is my sister after all.”

She was brought out of her musings by the sound of hooves touching down near her, and looked up to see little Luna walking up to her with a spring in her step.

“Luna where have you been,” said Celestia as she wrapped her up in a winged hug, “I have been worried sick about you.”

“We are fine Tia,” said Luna happily, bouncing a little with each word as she spoke. “We were just down in Ponyville, for as thou know that town was not there when we were around, and we will admit we lost track of time while we explored the quaint little town. But enough about that, there is something we wanted to talk to you about, but we will have to talk about it later, as we must go and freshen up.”

With that Luna wiggled out of the hug and skipped away happily, not noticing the fact that her sisters expression had changed from one of relief to one of confusion, for she had just noticed something strange upon looking at her sister again.

The fur on Luna’s neck was a mess, and Celestia could see that that was not the only place that was messed up; noting patches of fur scuffled along Luna’s body leading to a place Celestia refused to look, for they led toward Luna’s private regions.

Immediately the look of confusion transformed into a look of pure rage, her gaze turning toward the town of Ponyville as her breaths came out in hot angry gasps. Somepony had touched her sister; some mare had touched her precious little sister. Oh that was it, damn responsibility, damn her royal composure, Princess Celestia of Equestria was pissed.

“Whoever you are my little pony,” thought Celestia as she let her fiery gaze fall on the town, “I can promise you one thing for daring to touch my sister. You. Will. BURN!"

And in the heart of Ponyville, relaxing within the confines of her warm shower, Twilight felt a cold chill run down her spine, feeling fear course through her but not knowing where it came from.

“You kissed us, you touched us, we let you violate us,
you set our heart a-flutter with an ever rolling beat.

“You kissed us, you touched us, we let you violate us,
you set our heart a-racing in thine ever rolling heat!”

Princess Luna felt better than she had in a thousand years, the night’s activities, while brief, were having a tremendous effect on the princess's mood. If she had to place a hoof on why it had such an effect, it would have to do with the fact that for a very long time she had felt incomplete, which she had to admit partially led her to becoming Nightmare Moon all those years ago. But now she had Twilight, she felt complete, for the long empty void in her heart had finally been filled, and she planned on keeping it that way.

“Oh Lulu,” said a voice from inside her bedroom, causing the young princess to smile at the use of the old nickname, “where are you?”

“In here Tia,” said Luna happily, shutting off the water of her shower and climbing out, using her magic to dry off quickly before leaving the bathroom to go hug her sister.

“I see you’re enjoying your new bathroom,” said Celestia with a chuckle, “it must be nice after what we had to deal with before right.”

“Indeed,” said Luna with a grin, “it is so refreshing not having to worry about heating our own water for a comfortable shower, tis simply divine.”

Celestia nodded, “I can imagine, but that is not what I came to talk to you about. If I remember correctly little sister you had something you wanted to talk to me about, and I must admit I am quite curious as to what that might be.”

They both sat down on a nearby couch, Luna leaning against her big sister before deciding to speak, enjoying the feeling of her sister hugging her. “Well Tia, as you know we didn’t really…get along well with the ponies of our time, and we were thinking that…well, maybe we could go and live in the town of Ponyville for a while, to better learn the magic of friendship and thus prevent us from becoming the Nightmare once more.”

While Celestia smiled on the outside, inside the gears in her head were turning, thoughts racing around her head as she stewed over what to say. “So that’s this mystery mares game is it, get me to send her to that little town so that she could spend more time with my little sister, oh I’m on to you missy!”

“Oh lighten up,” said another voice inside her head, which she knew to be her shoulder angel. “You know she always felt lonely because of her preferences, and plus it would do her some good to learn the magic of friendship, especially in an environment as friendly and open as Ponyville.”

“Yeah, and it is also where said mystery mare is,” said the voice of her shoulder devil, “and you can bet your ass that they will be doing more than studying “friendship” when they get the chance, so I say we say no and leave it at that!’

Celestia was inclined to agree with her little devil friend, but she knew that wouldn’t work, for Luna was anything if not stubborn when it came to stuff she wanted, but then she got a wicked idea. “You know what Luna, that isn’t a half bad idea. In fact, why don’t we go down to Ponyville later today and announce it to the town, make it official and everything.”

“Really?” asked Luna, looking excited as her sister nodded her head.

“Why of course, it’s very wise of you to consider learning the magic of friendship to keep yourself from walking that dark path again, and what’s more you will be able to learn it alongside the elements bearers, so what they learn, you will learn as well.”

Luna squealed with joy, jumping out of Celestia’s hug and hooping joyfully around the room as Celestia smile, both her shoulder devil and shoulder angel popping up and giving her weird looks. Before either of them could speak however, Luna came back and hugged her sister again, causing them to vanish as she spoke to her. “Can we go now, we really want to get back to Ponyville and get our lessons started.”

Celestia nodded, and then they both set off, Luna humming happily and Celestia giggling evilly, her little plan already working in her mind as they set off to get everything ready.
