Luna's Lament

Ever since that night, Andrew had been promoted to Sergeant and spent many a night with Luna. They would just lie on the balcony and stare at the sky. Andrew marveling it’s beauty as Luna swirled the stars to her heart’s desire.

One evening as Andrew was getting his armor on and preparing to begin his patrol when his commanding officer came in.

“Sir!” Andrew snapped to attention and gave a salute.

“Cut it out Sergeant Andrew. You’re a royal escort. You may not be nearly the same rank as I but I trust you more than some of my officers.” Shining Armor chuckled.

Andrew dropped his salute into a handshake, which Shining quickly obliged.

“Oh, by the way, Princess Luna would like you to skip your patrol and be her post in her office. Something about diplomacy.” Shining shrugged.

“You got it sir.” Andrew said.

“Enjoy your shift Andrew.” He said, hanging his armor up.

“Thanks Shiney!” Andrew shouted as he left.

“Hey! Where did you hear that nickname?” Shining asked after him.

“Next time you have some ‘quality time’ with your wife, make sure that the walls are soundproof and the door is locked!” Andrew shouted over his shoulder.

Shining opened his mouth but said nothing.

“Who dares disturb me?” Princess Luna shouted at the door as she heard the loud knocking.

“It’s me Moon Butt, calm down.” Andrew said opening the door.

“Oh you know how I detest that name.” Luna giggled.

“So I’m your personal escort now huh? It seems you can’t live without me can’t you” Andrew smirked.

Luna blushed a deep crimson.

“What mare could resist you my dear Andrew?” Luna purred, giving Andrew a quick peck on the lips.

“Princess Luna would you like me to....” Another voice separate from Andrew and Luna’s trailed off as she saw the two.

Andrew looked in horror at the purple alicorn before him.

Luna pulled away from his face with a small “eep”.

Twilight smirked.

“So this is why you requested him instead of-” Her statement was cut off by the door swinging open.

“Auntie? Where are we going this time and-EGAD what is that hideous creature standing in such close proximity to you?” the white unicorn said in a nosey and high pitched voice.

Luna’s eyes flashed red for a moment.

“You dare call my personal escort hideous?!” Luna yelled in her royal Canterlot voice.

“Well, I describe things as they are auntie.” Blueblood growled.

“This is exactly the reason that you will be stripped of your diplomatic duties! After that incident in Griffonia? You are done here, excuse yourself or I will have Andrew here escort you forcibly.” Luna boomed once more.

“Why are you so mean Auntie!” Blueblood cried as he trotted out the door.

“What the fuck did he do in Griffonia?” Andrew asked the two alicorns.

“He threw a tantrum in front of the emperor during a feast” Luna sighed.

“Jeez really?” Andrew sucked a breath in through his teeth.

“Unfortunately. Good for us however as you will be taking his spot.” Twilight said, looking at Luna sideways.

“So this is why I’m your personal escort now?” Andrew smiled.

“So Luna, can you let me in on any details about you and Andrew’s relationship?” Twilight asked smugly.

Luna giggled.

“Maybe on tomorrow’s train ride to Zebrica.” She smiled.

“Well, I’ll see you two then. Goodnight.” Twilight bid farewell and left the office.

“So Andrew my dear, what would you say to a night in the sheets with me? Simply to enjoy each other’s company.” Luna smiled coyly.

“Allow me to pack my three BDU’s and some PJ’s for the journey first and I will be right up Princess.” Andrew bowed and ran back to his quarters. He picked up a suitcase and put his three BDU’s in it. The BDU’s were exactly replicated by a master seamstress in Canterlot. She had said she detested the design but would do it if it was for the princess’. The one Andrew was wearing was his favorite. It was the one that made the journey with him.

Carrying his suitcase up the many flights of stairs, Andrew made his way to Luna’s chambers. He knocked three times and heard nothing. This was considered strange, Luna almost always answered the door. Andrew knew something was up. He found the door unlocked, another bad sign.

“Luna?” He called out.

A muffled scream was heard from the bathroom. Andrew burst through the door and found....

Luna, sitting in the bathtub, with little toy ships and a Tirek action figure.

Luna had jumped as he burst through the door and as soon as Andrew saw what was happening, put a palm to his forehead.

“What is the meaning of you interrupting my bath time?!” Luna used the royal canterlot voice jokingly.

“I heard a scream, you never answered the door, and it was also unlocked.” Andrew listed.

Luna frowned.

“Blast! I knew I forgot to do something!” She cursed herself.

“Does it matter now? As I have saved the princess from an unseen threat!” Andrew said in a fake boldness.

Luna did a fake swoon.

“Thank stars my heroic prince is here to save me from the dreaded bath time!” Luna held her giggled back until the end of the sentence.

“Need a towel your majesty?” Andrew asked the alicorn, her cyan mane hung dripping wet from her bath.

“Of course my prince.” Luna smirked.

Andrew grabbed a towel from the rack as Luna stepped out of the tub, pulling the plug as she did so.

Andrew dried her off gently, being extra careful to dry off her sopping wet mane and torso.

As his hands danced from behind the towel, Luna gave happy sighs as the human essentially massaged her. When he was finished, Luna wrapped her hooves around Andrew’s neck and he cradled her as he carried his precious cargo to the bed.

When they got there Andrew pulled the covers apart and laid the alicorn down. She looked at him with a sultry gaze.

“Could you fetch me my socks Andy? It’s rather cold tonight.” Luna purred.

“Of course.” Andrew smiled as he fetched the rather sexy garments.

She slid them onto her legs and motioned Andrew to get under the covers with her. Andrew shook his head.

“What’s wrong?” Luna asked, a look of worry on her face.

“Just let me grab some pajamas.” Andrew said, unzipping his suitcase and pulling out a pair of long flannel pants and a grey shirt that read ARMY in plain black letters across the front.

“Please, leave the shirt off my dear. I have always been rather curious as to what a human looks like without their top layer of clothing on” Luna gave a smug grin.

“Why the fuck not?” Andrew shrugged, tossing the shirt back in the suitcase, taking the BDU off, slipping his flannel pants on.

Andrew was chiseled from military work back on Earth and the Equestrian diet didn’t exactly fatten him up. His abs were like forged steel. Luna looked him over with half lidded eyes.

“Do all humans look that gorgeous?” Luna twirled her still damp mane with a free hoof.

“Only me I’m afraid.” Andrew gave a fake shrug.

“Come here and let me get a good feel for it.” Luna beckoned him over,

As he entered the bed, Luna began running her hoof along his torso.

“You know Luna, I think Twilight is going to be a tad uncomfortable on the train tio Zebrica tomorrow.” Andrew said as they both collapsed in fits of laughter.
