Man With The Moon

So far, the night was going perfectly. Anthony took Luna to all of the wonderful sights that he'd seen when he would go out by himself. And he loved Luna enough to get her to leave her room and see them with him. Luna marveled at all of great statues, buildings and paintings. Anthony took Luna to an overlook where they got a perfect view of the Canterlot and the minuscule town of Ponyville. It was better than when Anthony took her out to the balcony before they left. There was a better view, the stars seemed closer, plus you got an extra dose of that cool midnight breeze.

Anthony pushed himself off the railing and walked towards Luna and the two took a seat near the railing so they could continue to get an extraordinary view upon the land. Anthony took Luna's hoof in his hand. The two looked at each other and smiled lovingly to each other. Anthony leaned forward to kiss Luna before someone had ruined the moment.

"Aunt Luna, what are you doing with this... creature?" A stallion asked.

I can already tell I'm not gonna like this fuckhead. Anthony thought.

Anthony sighed before letting go of Luna's hoof and slouching back in his chair. He looked to his right to see and white coated stallion with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a tux collar with a rose on it which Anthony absolutely despised.

"Jeez dude, you make Gaston look like a decent guy." Anthony snickered.

That comment made it so hard for Luna not to laugh.

"Excuse me?" The stallion said, "That's Prince Blueblood to you!" Blueblood exclaimed.

"Oh I'm so sorry Prince Blueblood, I didn't mean to offend your gay pride. So sorry." Anthony said sympathetically.

Trust me, Anthony was not a homophobe, he just didn't like the asshole standing in front of him, ruining he and Luna's night out. Prince Blueblood looked super pissed. He clenched his teeth and growled under his breath. Blueblood turned and stomped off with Luna and Anthony snickering behind him. After he'd finally left their sights, Anthony and Luna continued their night.

Anthony continued what he was doing before and he took Luna's hoof and held it tightly. The two continued to smile as they leaned forward once again. Their lips slowly met as they shared a loving passionate kiss. They both pulled away and sighed happily.

"So uh, how're you enjoying tonight?" Anthony asked.

"Just fine, why?" Luna said.

"Eh, I just wanted to make sure. I only want the best for you. But as long as you're happy, then I'm happy." Anthony replied.

"Oh come on Anthony, you know that I'm always happy with you. And I know that you only want the best for me, but it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, no matter what happens, I'll always be happy with you." Luna said.

"D'aww, c'mere you." Anthony said pulling Luna into a hug.

Luna returned the hug and nuzzled the crook of Anthony's neck. The moon began to descend and Luna let out a small yawn. She rested her head on Anthony's chest as she cooed.

"Alright sweetheart, we're headin' home." Anthony muttered to her.

Anthony picked her up in his arms and carrying her back to the castle. He wandered through the halls, struggling to keep his eyes open as well. He was so tired he almost forgot where Luna's quarters were. But he managed to accidentally stumble upon it. He pushed open the door with his foot as he walked in. Luna wrapped her hooves around his neck to hold herself up because she felt herself slipping.

Anthony laid Luna down on the bed and crawled into bed next to her pulling the blankets over them. Luna rolled over and wrapped her hooves around Anthony's chest and nuzzled his back.

"I love you Anthony." She said.

"I love you too Luna." Anthony replied.

The sunlight shone directly in Anthony's eyes waking him up. He sighed and grumbled as he sat up. He stretched his arms and his back with a yawn. His back popped loudly and he groaned in satisfaction. Anthony looked over at where Luna was supposed to be, only to see where she'd been sleeping. Anthony changed into a fresh pair of clothes and shuffled his way through the halls to find Luna.

"Luna, where are you?" He called.

No reply.

With a heavy sigh, he turned the corner and saw standing in the middle of the hall. He smiled and approached her. But something was wrong, she looked like she was staring at something, petrified. Anthony waved a hand in front of her, but got no reaction. Anthony turned to where Luna was looking and felt a knot turn in his stomach.

There were his parents... standing there, holding hands, with their backs turned towards them. Anthony slowly back away as he fell to the floor and babbled in disbelief. He looked over at Luna and yelped as she stared at him with hollow black eyes which had blood pouring out of them. He looked back towards his parents and screamed in horror. They were directly in front of him now, not only a few feet away looking at him with hollow eyes which also had blood pouring out of them.

"No, n-no, n-no, n-no!" He stammered.

Anthony continued to scoot away from them until he bumped into something. He looked up and saw Luna, looking down on him. The blood from her sockets dripped down onto Anthony's face as his eyes welled up in horror. He looked away and sat up before clasping his hands over his head. He shook his head in disbelief. Luna leaned down towards the side of his face.

"Anthony...." A mixture of Luna's and Anthony's parent's voice was in the whisper.

Anthony screamed in horror as he struggled to cope with what was going on. He suddenly heard maniacal laughter all around him as Anthony's parents began floating towards him in a horrific way.

"Anthony..." The whispers continued.

"No! No, SHUT UP!" He shouted.

"Anthony......."

"Anthony! Anthony wake up please!" Luna shouted.

"LUNA!" Anthony shouted as he lunged upwards breathing and sweating heavily.

Luna gasped and hugged Anthony tightly as he did the same. He stroked her mane and sniffled. Luna buried her face in Anthony's chest as Anthony continued to stroke her mane. A couple of the guards burst through the door and both Luna and Anthony looked over at them.

"What is going on?!" One of the guards asked.

"N-nothing. We're fine, just, leave us for a moment." Luna replied.

The guards nodded before leaving and closing the doors. Anthony looked down to Luna and smiled. She returned the smile and lunged forward, planting a kiss on his lips. Anthony returned the kiss before pulling away. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was five-forty-seven.

"Come on, let's get go back to sleep." Luna said soothingly to Anthony before the both laid down together.

Anthony wrapped his arms around Luna and held her tightly. He never wanted to experience any of that ever again, but now he came to the conclusion that it was just going to stick to him like super glue. Luna nuzzled Anthony chest as she wrapped her hooves around him and held him in a tight embrace as they fell into another deep slumber.
