Dark Fortune, Luna's only child, was kind and sweet. But his father has a plan for him.

Luna did not mean it to go that far with Black Cloud. Just after the date, things escalated. Luna could not resist his red eyes and shining white coat. After Dark Fortune was born, Black Cloud diapered. Luna was heartbroken, and Celestia was concerned about the young colt, who did not seem to share the same interests as the other colts. Then came Rainbow Dash.

Black Cloud

I look up as I walk into the brightly lit restaurant. I can barely keep myself from giggling with joy. This is my first time meting Black Cloud, and I want it to go good. We have sent letters to each other plenty of times, and decided it was time to meet face to face. I look around the tables for him, a shining white stallion with a black and red mane and tail. A young mare walks up to me, smiling.

"Why, hello Princess Luna! What brings you down her this fine night?" I look down at her for only a second before continuing my search. The mare was a cream white with purple strips in her white mane. She had three purple stars for a cutie mark.

"Uh, I'm here with a friend." I say and smile, spotting Black Cloud sitting in a booth. "Oh there he is!" I say and walk around the mare. I make my way over to the booth and slid in the seat opposite him. He looks up from his menu and gives me a perfect smile. I watch his eyes travel up and down me, and I suddenly feel self consensus. I shift in my seat and Black Clouds ruby eyes flick up to mine and he smiles.

"Hello Luna, dear." He says and slides a menu over to me. "Order whatever you want." I look down at the menu and then back up to him. Hes looking at me with kind eyes and I feel my heart do a flip. This night is going to be great.

The mare I saw earlier walked over. Her name tag read Twilight Velvet Drawn. She smiled at me and shyly glanced at my date. I looked around, noticing that Black Cloud was attracting a lot of attention from the mares in the room. I looked back at him and smirked. Well, he is really cute. Twilight Velvet Drawn picked up a note pad out of the black pouch she had tied around her waist. It hovered in the air in front of her, glowing a light purple.

"What can I get you?" I don't like the way she was looking only at Black Cloud or the way she said I. I glared at her and Black Cloud chuckled.

"Carrot soup," He glanced at me, "for me and my date. Our drink, The Canterlot Specialty." The mare scribbles down our order and walks back to the kitchen, clearly disappointed.

Black Cloud looks at me and smile. His white coat shines in the low light. The red strip in his mane stands out almost as much as his eyes. I sigh and rest my head in my hooves. He reaches over and pushes a piece of my mane out of my face. When his hoof touches my check, I shudder. I have never acted like this over a stallion, so why now?

"You are so beautiful, you know that Luna?" Black Clouds soft voice brings my thoughts back to him. I flash him a big smile and feel my face flush. He reaches his hoof across the table and places it on mine. "I'm glad we have finally got to met, my dear Luna."

A bowl of carrot soup and a bottle of wine later, I found myself cuddling with Black Cloud on his couch. I had my head on his shoulder and he was playing with my hair. I sigh and snuggle closer to him.

"I think I love you already." I say and sigh again. I can feel him smile. He starts to move but pauses for a moment, and then gets up. I look up at him, missing his soft touch already. Black Cloud looks at me lovingly and reaches down and lifts me up. I get up and follow him happily. He leads me down the hallway and I feel effects of the wine. It was good wine. I start to hum and trot up to him. He glances at me and chuckles. His horn glows red and a door on the left of the hallway opens. I trot in as Black Cloud flicks on the lights. Its a bed room. I turn around and gave Black Cloud a confused look, my instincts telling me that it was time to leave.

"I love you too." Black Cloud said and leans in to kiss me. The second his lips hit mine, I knew he was the one. He scooped me up and playfully flopped me on the bed. I giggled and pulled him on the bed. We wrestled and Black Cloud ended up on top. He leaned down and gave me a long kiss. I hope Celestia wont be to mad at me for being late home.
