I can change
late that night
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt had been a few months since their picnic and already Luna had grown much closer to Sombra. It seemed like every time he was around he was more and more like the Sombra she knew over a thousand years ago. Sombra was finally aloud to walk around the castle without an escort of guards or one of the princesses, having finally won the trust of Celestia and the royal guards. While he was aloud to walk around alone now, she still found him waiting for her outside his bedroom door. "Why hello Sombra," she said, once again seeing him waiting for her outside his bedroom door so they could walk to breakfast.
"Hello....... Lulu," Sombra said with a playful grin plastered across his face.
"You know only Tia is aloud to call me that," Luna said playfully punching him in the shoulder, a smile on her face as well.
The two lovers made their way to the dining hall. When they took their seats, Cadence and Celestia were seated with an agenda list in front of them. Celestia looked up from the to-do list and smiled when she saw Luna and Sombra walk in. "Hello Lulu, how are you today Sombra?"
"I'm wonderful, thank you," Sombra said.
"Hey Tia, what annoying nobles do we have to deal with today?" Luna said with a smile.
"Lulu, how many times do I have to tell you. As annoying as the nobles are, we only voice it when no one is around," Celestia chastised.
"But the only ones around are Cadence and Sombra," Luna said with a playful smile.
The Sun Princess thought for a moment, as if considering Luna's words. "True. Well if you must know which annoying noble it is today, it's that Fluer De Lis, I swear, she is the most obnoxious pony in the world, not to mention her name."
"Her! What does she want this time, trying to buy the park again?" Luna said.
"Yes," Celestia sighed, "I made it very clear that i wanted the park to stay the way it was, not everything has to be modern. Besides, everypony else seems to enjoy the rustic, ancient feel of it."
"Damn straight!" Luna said slamming her hoof on the table.
Celestia chuckled, "honestly Luna, your supposed to look professional."
"How can I look professional about this, she comes to us about this matter every single day. You'd think that a year straight of 'no' would finally get it through her thick skull," Luna countered.
"Your right Lulu, I know. We'll just have to make it extra clear today that if she comes to us about the matter again, we will never accept another audience with her again, on this matter or otherwise." Celestia gave a slight nod as if assuring this to herself as the servers came in, a nervous look on they're faces from obviously hearing Luna yelling.
"Thank you, and I apologize if my yelling frightened you," Luna said obviously noticing the nervous look on the servers' faces.
The mare bowed and smiled, "your welcome, Princess, it was just kind of sudden." The mare knew Luna was a bit more short tempered than Celestia, but she meant well. "Enjoy breakfast your majesty," the mare said turning to leave.
Luna nodded.
Breakfast came and went as Luna and Celestia departed for the throne room.
"I'm sorry, but we have told you no about the park time and time again," Luna said, her patience running dangerously thin.
"Please, reconsider. The park looks absolutely monstrous with it's.... ancientness." Fluer De Lis said. She saw the look on Luna's face and instantly regretted her choice of words.
Luna was seething with anger as she stood and slowly walked towards the annoying noble. Celestia walked up next to her sister to make sure she didn't completely snap. "Is thou saying that she doth not like the park my sister so graciously left untouched?" The deep blue alicorn said with an angry voice. If looks could kill, This noble would have died five times already.
The pale pink mare shrank away, taking a step back to put some distance between her and the angry princess. "I.... I...."
"Luna, let me handle this," Celestia said. Leaning in just loud enough for Luna to hear she whispered, "before you do something you will regret."
Luna took a deep breath and stepped back, still giving the noble her signature death stare. Celestia sighed, "Miss Fluer, my sister is correct. I left the park the way it was for Luna. Tell me, if you were gone for such a long time and came back, finding everything different. Would you want at least one familiar thing left?"
"Well I...."
"You will not have the park, and it will stay the same. If you come to me about this matter again I will not accept another audience with you for any reason, whatever it may be, again. You are dismissed."
The unicorn wasted no time in turning tail and trying not to bolt to the door as she made her exit. When the unicorn was out of sight Luna slouched over and sighed. "Is it okay for me to say that if that damn pony ever comes back that i refuse to join you in an audience with her?"
"Luna, even if you wanted to join me, i would send you elsewhere to do something until she leaves," Celestia said chuckling.
"Thank you," Luna replied standing straight once more.
Luna walked out of the throne room, having finished her royal duties for the day. Sombra was waiting for her outside the throne room. "Hello Luna," Sombra said pulling the princess close.
"Sombra," Luna replied with a smile as the unicorn gazed at her.
The grey unicorn closed the distance between him and his mare friend, pulling her into a deep passionate kiss. Something he had begun to do quite often.
It didn't take long for Luna to return it with equal passion as her sister walked out of throne room. well, that quite the thing to walk in on, Celestia thought as she walked past them, trying not to stare. "I dare say it won't be long before a proposal," Celestia said meeting Cadence at the end of the hall.
"I don't doubt that, Aunt Celestia," Cadence said with a smile.
Celestia laughed," I never thought I would see the day Sombra would be reformed."
Sombra pulled away after a few minute, much to the two lovers' dismay. "What do you say, we go out for dinner?" He asked.
"I would love to join you," Luna said. After passing it by Celestia, Luna and Sombra, followed by two guards, left to a diner thar Sombra had apparently reserved before hand.
"Table for two, reserved under the name Sombra Shadesparrow." Sombra said to the stallion with the reservation list.
"Ah, yes. Mr. Shadesparrow and....." The stallion's eyes grew wide when he saw Princess Luna. " Princess Luna! Please come in, your table will be ready in a moment." The stallion said bowing and sending them with a mare to escort them to their table.
"Your table, highness," the mare said bowing her head.
"Please, none of that," Luna said. "Treat me as you would any other customer, I don't want special treatment. If that's alright with you."
"Of course," the mare said standing up once more. "Would you like something to drink you two?" she asked with a smile on her face as she handed them the menus.
"Some sparkling water for me," Luna answered.
"I'll have what she's having," Sombra said with a smile.
"Of course, coming right up," the server mare said with a smile. She turned to leave and get the requested drinks.
Luna and Sombra talked for a bit until a white stallion walked up. "Hello, I'm Fancy Pants," the unicorn said.
"Hello Fancy Pants, pleased to make your acquaintance," Luna said.
"The pleasure is all mine, and might I add that you did a fine job on the sky tonight, it looks exceptionally beautiful tonight, and now I can see why."
"Thank you," Luna said with a smile. "What brings you here?"
"Oh right, I am aware that my wife, Fluer De Lis, was causing you some trouble today, and wanted to apologize if she offended or angered you in any way."
"Thank you, it's not your fault though, it's hers," Luna said calmly.
"Well, I will talk with her, so she can formally apologize to you, now if you'll excuse me, I will leave you to enjoy your dinner."
"Thank you, it was a pleasure to meet you," Luna said as Fancy Pants turned to leave.
Luna turned to Sombra as they're drinks and meals arrived. They thanked the servers and enjoyed their dinner. After paying for the meal and tipping their servers, the two left the restaurant and headed back to the castle. "Shadesparrow huh?"
Sombra laughed, "yes, my last name is Shadesparrow," he answered before pulling Luna into a kiss.
Luna pulled away and motioned to her room so they could have some privacy. The two lovers entered the room and shut the door. Luna cast a quick spell before turning back to Sombra. "What was that spell?" He asked, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Soundproofing," Luna answered casually with a seductive glint in her eye.
"You dirty mare," Sombra said with a smirk.
"So you don't want it?" Luna said with a frown.
"Now I never said that," Sombra answered pulling Luna close and kissing her passionately as they landed on the bed.
Luna snapped awake with Sombra hugging her close. She kissed her lover and wriggled out of bed, heading over to the balcony to lower the moon. Sombra followed her over to the balcony and turned her head up to look at him, "before you do that, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Luna asked with a smile on her face.
That smile, Sombra thought, is the most beautiful thing in the world. Sombra opened the small box he had grabbed of the nightstand and opened it. "Luna, will you marry me?"
Luna looked into the box and saw a silver necklace with a crystal moon on it, "oh Sombra," Luna threw her forelegs around the unicorn as he levitated the necklace around her neck and returned the embrace.
"You were right, Cadence," Celestia said as she looked at the balcony across from her where the couple was in an embrace. "He did propose just now."
"I knew he would," Cadence said smiling.
