Royal Romance

Once Twilight and Celestia arrived to her room Celestia closed the door. She motioned for Twilight to sit on the bed and sat down next to her. "Twilight, I heard some of what you and my sister were talking about."

Twilight interrupted, "I'm so sorry Celestia, I hope you aren't mad."

Celestia replied, "No Twilight, I'm not mad." She giggled a bit and continued, "I find it really cute how you were asking my sister about my dreams."

Twilight asked, "I hope you don't mind me asking this, but why has Luna never had romantic or sexual desires?"

Celestia replied, "I can't be completely sure about this but when I was young Luna saw the heartache I went through when a mare I loved wound up dumping me for another pony. Luna was smaller than this mare but I still remember how she attacked her and put her in her place."

Twilight asked, "Really?"

Celestia laughed, "Really! She has had that fighting spirit in her basically from birth and it angered her that anypony would dare hurt my feelings. She saw me crying for days afterwards and tried to comfort me. I do remember her vowing that she would never allow herself to be hurt or used by anypony, which is why I think she doesn't even like to forge close friendships, much less seek any relationships."

Twilight asked, "But what about the Apple Family? She is really good friends with them."

Celestia replied, "Well they are a very rare exception. They are down to earth and are hard working. That is why I think she considers them such good friends."

Twilight asked, "Why didn't you do what Luna did? Why didn't you vow to do the same as Luna?"

Celestia put her wing around Twilight and replied, "I didn't do that because true love is a wonderful experience, even if in the end you get hurt. Once you feel love, true love, it is something you want to experience again even if you have been hurt."

Twilight asked, "Luna said she has never had sexual desires and that she never wants them, why is that?"

Celestia replied, "Well that I'm not sure about. We just have completely different approaches to life. While she can pick up on my energy and understand my mindset quite well, I don't have that ability so I just have to go off of what I see. What I see in her is a pony who doesn't like other ponies violating her personal space and with thoughts like that, anything sexual would be the ultimate violation in her eyes."

Celestia pulled Twilight closer to her, looked into her eyes and continued, "I honestly feel for her. I know being single is what she desires but love is something I could never just shut off." She moved in and gave Twilight a gentle kiss and continued, "And how romance she shuns, I have no idea. I know I could never do that either."

Twilight's heart melted when Celestia kissed her. She fell forward into her hooves and dreamily asked, "Celestia, did-did you just kiss me?"

Celestia held her close and began to stroke her wing through Twilight's mane. She replied, "Yes, I did Twilight. I take it that was your first?"

Twilight replied, "Yes and I loved it. It was more than anything I could have ever dreamed of."

Celestia realized that finally she could ask Twilight what she had been wanting to for years. She asked, "Twilight, I am wondering if you would be my marefriend?"

Twilight was giddy with excitement. She leaped off the bed, started jumping up and down and said, "Yes Celestia! I would love to be your marefriend! I love you so much!"

Celestia hugged Twilight and replied, "I love you too Twilight!"

Twilight asked, "Celestia, I've never been in a relationship before. Is there some sort of book that I need to read about being in a relationship?"

Celestia couldn't help but giggle a bit. She replied, "Oh Twilight, there is no book to read about being in a relationship. Our hearts guide us to what we truly desire." She pulled Twilight close to her again and continued, "I know you are happy that we are a couple now but you do have royal duties in Ponyville that you have to fulfill and I know your friends miss you so you should probably head back home soon."

Twilight had a sad look in her eyes and asked, "Please, can't I stay here one more night?"

Celestia smiled and replied, "Of course you can Twilight, but tonight would you mind sleeping with me?"

Twilight's heart skipped a beat hearing Celestia ask this. She kissed Celestia and replied, "I would love to sleep with you!"

They pulled each other close, looked deep into one another's eyes and began to kiss passionately. Surges of warmth were flowing through both Celestia and Twilight that they had never felt before. Celestia was shocked as very quickly she found Twilight rubbing her tongue up against her's and exploring every nook and crevice in her mouth. Neither pony wanted that moment to end but they knew it had to end soon as supper time was fast approaching. Twilight finally broke the kiss and was breathing heavily. She dreamily moaned, "Oh Celestia, I have never felt such pleasure before!"

Celestia pulled her close and replied, "My beloved Twilight, I have experienced pleasure before but nothing like that, and kissing is just the beginning."

Twilight got a huge smile on her face and wondered how anything could feel better than that. They were soon broke from their happy embrace as Luna shouted from out in the hall, "Big sister, Twilight, 'tis time for supper!" Both of their stomachs were growling quite loudly but in their wonderful afternoon neither one paid attention to it. Luna continued, "We hear thy stomachs growling loudly. Thou must be most hungry!"

They headed into the throne room, walking as close together as possible with their wings around one another. Luna smiled and asked, "We take it that thou hast mended thy bridges?"

In a dream like state Celestia replied, "Yes little sister, we have mended our bridges and then some."

Luna said, "We figured as much with all the moaning thou wast doing."

Celestia asked, "We were moaning so loud you could hear us?"

Luna replied, "Yes, thou was moaning loudly, so loudly that thou woke us up from a most peaceful sleep." Luna could pick up on their energy and knows that they are going to be sharing the same bed that night but figured that supper was no place to bring something of that nature up. After supper Celestia lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon. Before Luna headed out on her patrol she smiled at Celestia and said, "Big sister, now don't go trying to go all the way tonight. Save something for further on in thy courtship with Twilight."

Both Celestia and Twilight got sheepish grins on their faces knowing that Luna can pick up on their energy easily. Celestia smiled and replied, "I won't little sister. You better go out on your patrol."

Luna headed to the balcony and headed north, towards the Everfree Forest while Celestia and Twilight headed to their bedroom. Celestia asked Twilight, "Twilight, when you said you hoped we could be married in the throne room, did you truly mean it?"

Twilight replied, "Yes Celestia. I want us to be married someday. She pulled herself close to Celestia and asked, "Do you desire the same thing? Is that why Luna mentioned your courtship with me?"

Celestia gave Twilight a deep kiss and replied, "Yes my love, I want nothing more than for us to be together forever."

Knowing that they were truly on the same page they shut off the lights, laid in bed and began to kiss passionately again. Once they became tired they wrapped themselves tightly together and fell asleep. The one thing that both of them had desired for so long had come true, they fell asleep in one another's loving embrace.
