Earthling's Night In Equestria

The Dance

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Canterlot Castle was filled with guests enjoying their time during this wondrous night, their voices, laughter and the music filled the atmosphere. Inside the palace, DJ PON-3 was the deejay of the night. I was just standing at the center of the place when Princess Celestia came to me.

"Looking for my sister I suppose?" she asked. Her mane was waving constantly. "Look, there she is."

Turning to the direction of the entrance of the chamber, the ponies made way for the person entering this very place. It was then I saw this most gracious mare heading towards me and Celestia. She was dressed in noblest color, restrained and pure in crimson, tied and adorned in the style that then suited her tender age. Her looks were so beautiful, so pure, that stallions got drawn to her like how moths are drawn to a light. Her dark blue mane flowing like a perfect flag, and her makeup was done to a tee. Her wings spread majestically as they flapped gently, seducing most stallions. But most of all...her beautiful eyes...they were looking at me sweetly like an angel that promises heaven to a good mortal. Her tender lips curled into a smile as she pulled me away with her magic, her horn glimmering brightly.

I stood in shyness as Luna's face snuggled mine. From a distance, Celestia giggled and waved at me as a sign of good luck before making her way to the Mane Six. Her lips pecked my cheek as she spoke to me. "You look cute and handsome, my gracious stallion."

Her voice...so wonderful that it enchanted my ears. I reflected what Rarity had said about liking her. Fortunately, most stallions are now busy with either themselves or mares, so me and Luna had some space.

"Enjoying the royal ball, my gracious one?" asked Luna as she looked at me with her wondrous eyes. Her beauty was so anti-resistant that I was almost hypnotized by it, but I shook it off and answered her.

"Yes, Luna."

"Mmm hehehe." She pat my head with her hoof.

"J..just call me Kino."

"No no, I shall call you whatever I want. I am the Princess here. You cannot send away her affections."

And to make sure I spoke no more, she covered my mouth with her hoof.

"Hush now," she said. "My apologies if I embarrass you, Kino. I just want to show you how much I want you for the dance."

Right at this moment, Pinkie Pie was blaring at the microphone yelling "IT'S PARTY TIME!!"

I wasn't sure if the Galloping Gala were meant to be formal or what, but the next thing I knew, all the ponies began to rave like a block party. Even Fluttershy, who was about to enter, was surprised at what she saw. The animals that surrounded her burst in as they pulled her to the dance floor, encouraging her to have fun with them.

I probably won't tell about the rest of this party until the slow dance, because it was a bit chaotic. If you ask me, some of the ponies almost started a mosh pit because of an argument between two fillies. Plus, the dubstep music had some effect on party goers, so the moment Celestia had calm down the situation a little, I excused myself to the balcony and shut the glass door, ceasing the noise from inside.

Looking upwards, it seemed that the sky was also decorated beautifully with the brightest stars and moon, its purple color gave off a peaceful feel. As my eyes were awed with the graciousness of the night, I haven't noticed the most gracious mare coming to me and gave me a lovely hug from behind.

"What are you daydreaming about, my gracious human? Are you dreaming of having your own kingdom in Equestria? Or is it perhaps that you dream of me, the prettiest princess in Equestria?" said Luna proudly.

"I'm just looking at the sky...it's so pretty. Down there, everypony have the best time in their lives. It is as if they just won victory from a long sadistic war."

Luna giggled at my answer. She stood beside me and looked ahead.

"So Kino," she began. "What do you think of Equestria?"

"Mm, it is a very peaceful world...although there is evil as well as chaos in it, at most times...happiness shrouds it. As long as there aren't any villains disturbing this world, the serenity of its peacefulness would always shine upon the skies."

"You are right. Equestria is peaceful. Without the Elements Of Harmony, it won't be as the same as what it is now. You should be grateful that you are living here now."

"I am grateful. I'm very suited here, to be honest"

It was then I began to feel a pang of loneliness. Yes, this is my home world now. It gives me great comfort and serenity, however...at the question of companions and such, I felt a heavy weight in my heart. I imagined what it was like to be without my most gracious mare, my caretaker. I was saddened because of this feeling. Luna looked at me with a concerned look at my face.

"What's the matter, Kino?" she asked worriedly.

I tried to shook my head, but couldn't bring myself to do so. As if this triggered her, she gave me a big and warm hug, hushing me softly in my ear while stroking my mane.

"Shh shh. it's ok. I understand how lonely you feel sometimes."

Luna looked at me sweetly as I stared back at her eyes. To my surprise, she planted a soft kiss on the forehead while holding me, just to let me know that she will always be at my side, no matter the situation. Her smile comforted me, to say the least.

"I'm here," Luna spoke again softly. "I will always be with you, my precious Kino. You are not alone~ I'm here with you. Even if you are far away, I will be here to stay."

With those words, she softy caressed my head as she kept planting kisses on my cheek. I blushed real hard, much to her delight. She probably thought I looked 'adorable' when doing that.

Soon, the music slowly turned into a slow romantic song. Oddly, the song that played was 'The Walk' by Stone Mecca.

"Well, looks like our time is here," Luna reassured. She took me by the hoof and led me back inside. The place was now calm, and Pinkie was no longer at the deejay booth. DJ PON-3 gave the turntable a little scratching before resuming the song. Everything looked neat despite the messy-looking situation minutes ago. The lights dimmed slowly into blue color, and as I saw the Mane Six regrouping together with Celestia, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Luna holding out her hoof while smiling at me.

"Care to dance with me, Kino?" proposed Luna.

I accepted her proposal without hesitation. As the music was playing along, Luna put my hooves onto her body. She put hers onto my shoulders, and she looked at me so lovely while speaking about how to slow dance with her. It was a bit hard, sloppy and embarrassing. But with patience, I managed to dance thanks to her instructions. The moves were smooth, it almost looked like I was dancing with Juliet as Romeo. Behind me, I could here the Mane Six giggling as they watch me and Luna dancing. I was hoping that Celestia won't tease me about it after tonight.

The other dancing couples looked like they were forming a big circle around me and Luna, because the space seemed to get bigger. As I turned my attention back towards her, she grinned lovingly at my face and gave me a soft kiss on the lips.

W..what's going on?, I thought to myself. My face reddened when she slowly sucked her lips onto mine. I heard the cheers of Pinkie Pie as she launched a confetti cannon upwards. As the shot was later ceased, the most gracious mare broke the kiss and hugged me tight.

"I love you," was all she could ever say in my ear. I saw her expression turned to happiness as her eyes were welled up with tears. I could sense that she felt the same lonely feeling as mine, now that she had chose me as her eternal lover. I was happy, my longing for Luna had finally became true. Yes, I love this wonderful mare for her beauty, her kindness, and her protection. My heart leaped as my pulse increased, cheering, "Congratulations, you have your desired lover" to me. I let her embrace me like a long-lost lover as she kept whispering about being hers to me.

The Gala ended with fireworks and a farewell performance by The Wonderbolts. As I witnessed the sky decorated with fireworks, I felt another kiss on the cheek, something warm enveloped my body.

It was Luna, giving me a long and warm hug as her wings were wrapped around me and her lips curled into an infinite lovely smile. I hugged her back and we embraced like this until the last firework exploded.
