The Next Morning

Moonbeam woke up by the tree that him and Luna was sitting at.

"I must of passed out last night." Moonbeam thought to himself. He rubbed his dazed eyes, still trying to wake up. He looked next to him noticing that Luna was gone.

"Luna! Luna!" He called out. After at least ten minutes of shouting her name, he sat down by the tree, tears streaming down his face. "

I should've known. I should've known it wouldn't last." Moonbeam thought sadly, making his soul and heart sink to the ground. A shadow flown over him making look up. All he saw was aquamarine eyes staring wide eyed at him. Moonbeam's soul lifted.

"Morning Moonbeam." Luna said in almost a whisper. He smiled at Luna.

"Good morning." He said back. She turned away, as she did he quickly wiped the tear trails off his face.

Luna levitated a basket over toward Moonbeam. It was still dark out, but Moonbeam didn't care. As long as he was with Luna, he didn't care what time or place it was. Luna sat right next to Moonbeam. She levitated out a large blanket. It was a very beautiful blanket. It was a deep purple, with a black trim. It had blue accents, like electric blue. And it had Luna's cutiemark. She laid it on the ground under the big oak tree. She pulled out two plates, cups, candles, forks, spoons, butter knives, and napkins. She laid out each objects in a neat set up. Moonbeam looked confused. She lit the candles with her magic. Since she used her magic the fire was a light purple and blue. Moonbeam stared at the beautiful fire before him.

"Woah. How did you do that?" Moonbeam said while cocking his head. Luna giggled.

"Well...MAGIC!" She said with a giggle.

"Oh, yeah." Moonbeam said feeling dumb.

"So....watcha doing?" Moonbeam asked looking back at Luna.

"I'm preparing breakfast! Well, more like dinner for me." Luna chuckled.

Moonbeam looked into the basket. There's no food!

"Hey, uh, Lulu?" Moonbeam said with a confused tone.

"Yes, my miniature moon?" Joked Luna.

"Um, where's the food?" He said looking at her, head tilted to the side.

"He looks so adorable!" Luna thought to herself quickly shaking away the thought.

"You'll see." She said with a mischievous grin.

"I'm scared." He said folding down his ears. Luna giggled. She lit her horn, and stared at her plate, concentrating really hard. She was still very young for an alicorn.

"Come, come on." she said, pleading inside her. She stuck out her tongue. Moonbeam just stared at her, then the plate, then her.

Then a wave of bright blue light shone over the plate. It was too bright for Moonbeam to stare at. He quickly turned away, eyes shut tightly. It quickly vanished. He looked back up. And saw a plate full of food. Luna looked at her work. She smiled a impressed look.

"Woah." Said Moonbeam breathless. Luna stood up and trotted over to Moonbeam and did the same with his plate.

Luna began eating. Moonbeam wanted to eat, but was scared that Luna would think he was a slob. I mean unicorns and alicorns can use magic to eat. But he was a Pegasus and hooves wasn't the easiest for pegasi or earth ponies to use their hooves to eat. So it wasn't easy for pegasi or earth ponies to eat mannerly.

He slowly picked up the fork with his mouth, and bent his neck in a way that he probably shouldn't. His head was right over his plate and stabbed a piece of haybrowns and raised his fork and the haybrowns to eye level. But that was when he realized how was he was get it in his mouth. He slowly opened his mouth, and when he did the fork fell out and onto his plate. Luna giggled, while levitating the fork and putting it back on its place. Right on the napkin.

"Just eat like you would normally." Luna said giving he a warm smile. He looked down embarrassment.

She went back to her food. And Moonbeam took a bite from the haybrowns. And his taste buds exploded! He could taste the seasoning, and the sweetness from the honey.

"Mmmmmm." Moonbeam chimed from his throat. Luna giggled at him. He had never tasted something so good! And that was just the first bite.

When they finished, Luna levitated a nice blue lunchbox. It was the same blue as her hair, and it also had lighter blue swirls like his hair color. And in the middle was his cutiemark!

"Wow this is beautiful!" Moonbeam said looking at every detail carefully.

"Oops, almost forgot." Luna said as she opened it and levitated all the delicious food out and used her magic to engrave the words, Moonbeam's Lunchbox.

"Woah." Moonbeam said breathlessly. Luna placed all the food back inside of it.

"Now my dear Moonbeam, this is a special kind of box. This one can hold anything without getting heavy, or losing space. So it's perfect for your stallion appetite!" Luna said, patting his tummy.

"Wow, thanks! That's very kind of you Luna." Moonbeam said smiling at her.

"Your welcome. And I already packed it." Luna said.

"Your the best!" Moonbeam said giving her a huge hug. She was shocked at first, but hugged him back. When they parted, Moonbeam kissed her right on the cheek! Luna giggled. And handed him his helmet, chest plate, and shoes.

"Thanks." Moonbeam said. Luna levitated the armor and placed it all on him.

"Your welcome." She said while putting on his helmet.

"I'll see you later?" Moonbeam asked hoping to see her again.

"Of course. But for now, I need to sleep." She kissed him, and Moonbeam melted into the kiss. Moonbeam lifted his hoof to her face. And pushed back her bangs, that ended up splattered on her face.

When they parted, Moonbeam gave her a loving smile. Luna gave it back. He gave her a tight hug, and he started hovering, and flew off waving crashing into a cloud at the same time. But he tried to play it off. She sighed and went to trot back to the castle, when she was blocked a white figure. Luna knew right away what the white figure was. It was Celestia, she was glaring down at her with her violet eyes.

"Oh hey Tia!" Luna chimed up, breaking the silence. Celestia just glared at her.

"Um are you okay Tia, you look angry. Did you not get enough beauty sleep?" Luna asked while putting a hoof up.

Celestia just took in a deep breath and sighed very loudly, like she was zombie pony or something. She straightened up and spoke. "Luna, I understand that you are in the likes of one of our royal guards. The one by the name of Moonbeam. Am I right?" Celestia said with a calm tone. Luna stared at her with wide eyes.

"Ohmygosh!! How did she figure out?! Was she watching? Did Moonbeam tell? He couldn't of, I was watching him sleep, to make sure he didn't have a nightmare. Oh come on Luna! You're the Princess of the Night! You've dealt with scarier things than Celestia! Sheesh you're the one who betrayed her! And you were such a threat to her that she banished you! So snap out of it!" Luna thought gaining the confidence to finally speak.

"Well your findings are, right." Luna said putting her head down while sighing. "Luna! You know we're not supposed to date royal guards! Why their here to protect us! You must break things off! Why just imagine if w-" Celestia cut herself off noticing the tear slowly making its way down her cheek. Celestia sighed.

She felt really bad for making her sister cry. Luna couldn't help but to cry. She felt warm feathers bend over her back and formed into a hug. She opened her eyes to see Celestia nuzzling her. Luna started to cry again, but this time it was tears of joy.

"But seriously you can't." Celestia said while ending the hug.

"But Tia!" Luna whined. "Tia nothing. You know the rules. And anyway, your immortal! He's not. You wouldn't want to watch him die while you don't look a day older. I know what it feels like. I've loved and I've lost. I don't want you to go through it too. Trust me it happened to me. And I don't want it happen to you." Celestia said turning around and started to walk toward the castle.

Luna trotted over to her side.

"What do you mean by you've loved and lost?" Luna asked quickly regretting she did. Celestia couldn't help it, even though her facial expression was intense she had a tear slowly making down her cheek and falling off her muzzle, and hitting the grass.

"Long story short, we fell in love, he grew old, and me....not a day older. He died, gladly in his sleep. I heard the news from his mother. She was probably the sweetest mare I knew. Well, until I met Fluttershy. Anyway, I went to the funeral, of course everyone bowed to me. But I didn't let them, it was his funeral. Anyway, after all that I learned not to get too attached to my friends, or anypony. Luna looked down, making her feel depressed.

"Tia, I'm sorry that you have lost your love, but Moonbeam is my special somepony. He loves me, and I love him. I don't care what anypony says. We will be together. I will find a way to make that happen." Luna said while stomping the ground. Celestia looked at her sister.

"Lulu, I know your angry but-

"I AM NOT ANGRY! I AM FURIOUS!" Luna yelled. She started to trot toward the castle. She ran the corridors, passing her friend Calrice.

"Hello Miss Luna! I will see you at brunch!" Clarice yelled as Luna ran past her. She ran into a dark bat pony.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! " Luna said while helping up the bat pony. "It's okay." The bat pony had a cracky voice.

"No it's not. How can I repay you?" Luna asked staring at the bat pony. He was really handsome. His coat was a really dark grey. Like normal bat ponies. His hair was absolutely gorgeous! His hair was neon blue! It shined so bright like a blue sapphire. His eyes were so green, they looked like glowing emeralds. The bat pony looked at Luna. With complete shock.

"Ohmygosh!! " The strange bat pony said as he jumped up and down like a little filly.

Luna was confused.

"Are you the Pricess Luna!?" The strange bat pony asked sticking his muzzle in Luna's face.

Luna said, "Yeah that's me. Well I have to go, so I'll see you." She started to make her way down the corridor.

Every guard she passed said, "Hello Princess!" Luna perked up and plastered on a smile. She was good at hiding her feelings. She said hi and made her way to her bed chambers. She walked to her balcony. She stood there exhausted, she lit her horn, lowering the moon. Watching it's glowing white light, slowly turn to bright yellow light, as Celestia raised her sun. She was so tired. She flipped off her shoes, and set them neatly by her bedside. She pulled off her breastplate, gently setting it on her dresser.

She levitated her crown, and looked at it for a long moment. Luna sighed, as she gently set the little black tiara on her vanity. She looked in the mirror. She levitated a brush over and softly brushed her luscious locks. She put it into a sloppy bun, that just sat on the back of her head. She approached her bed, lifting the bed covers and sliding in. Before she knew her vision started to fade to black, as she was entering her sleep.
