The Apple Eclipse

   It was a sunny morning, and Luna woke up in a childish delight. She turned over, only to see her lovely sister's face. Luna had slept with her sister so they would reunite from the 4 days she stayed in her room.

  "Good morning little sister." Celesta said and began to wake up.

  "Oh! I'm so sorry sister! I did not mean to wake you." Luna panicked. Celestia began to giggle.

  "It's quite alright dear sister, besides.." Celestia said and began to get up, "We have a lot on our agenda today."

  "Aww..I wanted to go to Derby's house today and play Mortal Kombat." Luna complained.

  "Well miss complainy pants, you'll have to wait, I'm sure she'll be at the fireworks today." Celestia said to help insure her sister that she didn't have to worry about anything. So the 2 went downstairs to check if everything was in place. Turns out, it was.

  "Come on everypony!" said a voice, " The princesses are expecting everything to be perfect when they wake up." It seems the voice was Twilight, ordering everypony to make things perfect for the Fourth of July celebration. Princess Cadence helped all the earth ponies make food. And Princess Twilight and her friends were helping with everything else.

   "Twilight?" Luna said questionably. Twilight turned to see who it was in surprise.

   "Oh, Luna! Celestia! Hi, we were just fixing a few things while you guys were sleeping." Twilight said as she showed the two royal sisters around the castle to show them what they created.

   "Well once again my successful student aka princess, has once again impressed me and my sister. Well done Twilight!" Celestia said in a very excited mood. While Twilight and Celestia were talking, Luna went to go take a closer look at how things were set for the Forth of July celebration. In her path, she bumped into a familiar red colt.

   "Oh, howdy Luna." he said.

   "Oh my! Big Macintosh! I am very pleased in seeing you." Luna said and began to blush.

   "Oh, umm...thanks Luna, that means a lot." Big Mac said and began to blush as well. The two stood there for a long awkward period of time, and then Luna finally had enough bravery in her to speak.

   "So, do you still wanna head to Sugar Cube Corner to have that milkshake?" she asked nervously.

   "Oh, sure I guess Applejack won't mind." he said and began to hold Luna's hoof, which made her squeal inside.

   "What makes you think you can hold the royal hoof like that?" she joked. They both left out the door, and right behind them, was a familiar pink alicorn following them with a devious smile.

                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~

  So Luna and Big Mac head to Sugar Cube corner to have a delectable milkshake. Then without notice, Luna decided to get to know the handsome stranger.

"So...." she began to say, "Tell me about yourself, since you half-way know about me."

"What do you mean?" Big Mac asked.

"Well, you probably heard that I was Nightmare Moon, took over equestria, yadda yadda yadda, and some stuff like that. So you probably think of me as the evil moon queen or whatever they call me." she said in a sorrow mood.

"Well Luna, ma' life ain't that interesting either. I mean, back in fillygarten, I was always teased and bully on the way I acted, thought, and everypony thought I was dumb and stupid." he said also in a sorrow mood. Luna was distraught. She had finally meet a pony who was just like her, sad, afraid, and alone. She knew that he would understand her tale as Nightmare Moon. So with their stories, this left the two to walk in silence. On the other hoof, the pony who was following them, decided to think of something to change the subject, then she thought of a idea. The mysterious pony used her ocean blue aura from her horn, and put an acorn in the middle of their path. She decided to see her plan go in action. Luna, who was still walking in sorrow, didn't see the object until she tripped over and almost fell to the ground.

  "GAH!" she yelled. Before she and her royal head hit the ground, something grabbed her in the blink of an eye. Why, it was Big Macintosh, holding her in a tango potion like it was an end of a dance or something.

  "Perfect!" the pony said in her devious way and even decided to laugh a little.

  "Well this is awkward." Luna said still in the holding potion.

  "Well, we better get inside Sugar Cube Corner before something else happens." Big Mac said picking up Luna from the ground. So as the two headed into the store, Mrs.Cake saw her comers and gave them their order. As the two had drank and finished their milkshakes, they talked about themselves. They both got to know each other very well, and even got to hear some funny stories.

    When it hit nighttime, it was time to go see the fireworks, and Luna and Big Mac had to end their friendly date.

    "So, I guess this is goodbye then." Luna said in a friendly, but sad tone.

    "I guess it is." Big Mac said in the same way.

    "I had fun today, I really did. Well I guess I'll see you later." Luna said. As the two split apart, the pony who had been following them all day decided to test something else. She put something in Luna's path so it would make her fall, again.

    "Gah!" she said once again. Once he heard her scream, Big Mac turned to catch her, but this time, it was a little different. When he came to catch her, she rose up and he rose down, and their lips met. The pony who had followed them, had let out a big hooves up saying inside : Mission Complete!Big Mac and Luna were still in the same position, then Luna finally decided to unlock the connection of their lips.

     "OMG! I am so sorry! That was an accident!" she said as her whole face turned red.

     "I-i-it's quiet alright." Big Mac said as his face too was red as a strawberry. The two headed back to the castle, and the whole time, they were looking into each others eyes thinking of what just happened.

     "There you are Big Mac! I was worried about ya!" Applejack said, "The fireworks are about to start."

     "3,2,1! HAPPY FORTH OF JULY!!!!" everypony screamed. Some ponies jumped up and down, some gave everypony hugs, others gave their loved ones kisses. Luna took a look at Big Mac, and so did he. They gazed at the fireworks for a minute.

     "So, umm...what happened back there.....do you think you wanna go for another?" Big Mac asked as Luna looked surprised way. Her face was a whole cherry and she decided to finally answer.

     "Uh..I would love to, but we're still friends right?" she asked.

     "Of course." The two didn't waste a minute and decided to lock lips, however Big Mac held back scared and terrified, but Luna closed the gap and pressed her lips against his. Big Mac did nothing to hold back, so he closed his eyes and enjoyed the blissful moment.
