You've been stranded in this magic pony talking land for 6 years now. Thankfully you haven't lost your sanity despite being restricted to the Canterlot Castle this entire time.

During that time however, you've become friends with the Princess of the Night and, apparently, the Moon. Her name is Princess Luna but she does seem to have a mix of medieval and modern speech.

Though you wish to say she's your best friend with the pranks you both do and all around the castle. You can't help but wonder why she hangs around with you all the time though.

(Rated T for teen due to minor swearing.)

"Care to join us?"

You took a deep breath in from your nostrils as you tossed an apple in the air, looking down to the land covered in moon light below as you caught the apple on it's way back down. You take a bite out of it and start to chew the piece of apple as its juices wash over your taste buds.

Below you is the land of Equestria! Home to freaking magic casting Unicorns, flying Pegasi, and the best farmers around called Earth Ponies. But lets not forget the Alicorns with their wings and long pointy horn, which are also the Princesses of this Kingdom! You've been stuck in this crazy place for six years now and it seems like you're never getting out. At least your not alone though.

Yes, other humans have been spat out into this weird land by something called 'Veil portals', whatever the hell those are. Either way it was a one way trip and you're trapped in horse land now. What's worse is that you haven't been allowed to leave the castle for years.

It appears someone, or somepony, has been murdering humans across Equestria. You're the last human in Canterlot, the rest already buried in a grave after being killed saved for a few that escaped. Ever since you appeared in front of Sunbutt- uh, Princess Celestia of Equestria you've lived here in the Castle of Canterlot.

You could easily recall how mild her look was to you when you appeared in front of her while you tried to not lose your shit and go insane. Giant talking horse? Who wouldn't have thought they died or went insane? Either way after calming yourself down and getting introductions out of the way they set up a room for you to live in.

Despite the hospitality though you always felt out of place among the servants and the guards. You weren't royalty, just a random guy from Geneva, Switzerland that got spat out here by crazy magic.

Course...life at the castle ain't that bad now is it? You got the food, warm bed, some workers to help direct you around the giant place. Yeah, it ain't that bad. Besides, you did become friends with the Lunar Princess. Her name is Luna but you sometimes call her Moonbutt, much to her annoyance.

It didn't take long for you both to become friends, since you both liked pulling pranks on the castle's inhabitants provided that you didn't get caught. You chuckle as you remember the time you both pranked Celestia, it was a slap on the knee.

Shit you must be getting old if you're saying that. Anyway, when you found out Celestia loved cake it was too tempting. When you both reached the dining hall you had Luna distract Celestia while you slipped into the kitchen.

Once inside you quickly attempted to convince the chef to slip some hot peppers into the cake. He was reluctant at first but you eventually got him to come around. When the cake was done and delivered to Celestia she dove right in, and boy did she regret doing that!

Course the chef won't take your suggestions now, but it was hilarious to see Sunbutt's face go red as she scrambled to get a glass of water. While that was going on you and Luna quickly escaped outside to let your laughter free.

Ah, good times. Which still happen now and then but lately Luna has been acting...different to you in the past few weeks. Like not in a negative way but more...open to you. Though it shouldn't surprise you considering how long you've been friends with her it just didn't sit right with your stomach.

As you gently furrow your brows in thought you hear the gentle flap of wings behind you and the sound of hooves gently meeting the garden's grass. You smile gently to yourself and turn around to come face to face with the Princess of the Night herself.

Luna smiles back at you as you give her a small bow, causing her to giggle, "Please my friend, we have known thee for so long. There is no need for such formalities."

You stand up again and chuckle, "As long as part of your talk is medieval I can't help it Princess," It didn't take you long to figure out that Luna had a mix of modern and medieval speech due to being gone for so long. She also had a tendency to say 'us' instead of 'me' or 'we' instead of 'I'.

Nevertheless she's still your friend all the same. Her wings return to her sides as she approaches you, a gentle smile on her face. She took a quick look up, probably looking at the moon, before looking at you again.

"How hast thou been on this wonderful night?" She asked warmly, always seeming to think about you. You had to admit she was too kind and you find the legends of Nightmare Moon hard to believe. You reply to her question.

"I've been well Luna, though there isn't much to really do at night. Especially since I'm more use to a more technologically advanced era than this." Yeah....sure they have trains and factories and power. But they didn't have cars or airplanes, course some of them can fly so why bother with an airplane?

She nods, "Understandable...we too find Equestria lacking in it's technology. Despite our sister's efforts we think it could be better but that is just us." She idly looks around then, having always not been one for politics. She's a tough gir- mare though.

You blink as your mind decides to sail into interesting waters. Your eyes focused on her mane, it was so exquisite to you. The fact it flows regardless if there was wind or not, and it blended with the night itself. But she is the night Princess after all.

She looks back to you, having caught you staring at her. She stares back but blushes lightly, "A-art thou alright? We don't have something on our face do we?" Her right hoof moves out of reflex, rubbing her cheek before she pulls her hoof back and looks at it.

You had to admit it was kinda cute. Chuckling, you reach a hand out to her and pet her mane. She doesn't resist and instead rubs into the hand. She always reminded you of a cat whenever you scratched her ear or pet her mane, always loving the attention.

Though you did question as to why she would let you do this, her being a Princess and all. It didn't seem like something royalty would allow, but it could just be human royalty you're thinking about. After all, this place is too different yet similar at the same time. Different species, same rules. Different history, same tech advancements.

You retract your hand from her head, causing her to pout. But she quickly recomposes herself and looks to the gardens before looking at you again. She then smiles, "Wouldst thou care to join us for a stroll in the gardens?"

You smile to her and reply, "I wouldn't mind taking a walk through some flowers with you Moonbutt."

She blushes and hides her face with a wing as she turns from you and starts to walk to the gardens. You chuckle and walk after her, looking at the well trimmed hedges and nicely grown flowers. The statues and fountains added to the tranquil beauty that mixed with the cool nighttime air.

She kept her face hidden from you still, but spoke up, "T-thou teasest us too often. Thou knows we do not like the nickname 'Moonbutt' so why dost thou call us such?" As she asked her question she lowers her wing and looks at you questionably as you both slowly walk through the gardens.

You smile innocently at her, "Because you got a moon on your flank?"

She swats you on your rear with her tail in return, sticking her nose in the air, "Hmpf! Thou shouldst not stare at a mare's flanks! It is rude!" You could tell she was joking though due to the small smile on her lips.

You reach a hand over to her and scratch behind her ears, causing her to forget her mock upsetness with you. Her head pushing against your fingers as she purred, which surprised you as she hadn't done it before.

You decide to keep scratching her ears anyway, your eyes looking around the gardens. It was relatively quiet save for the sound of flowing water as you both reached one of the fountains in the garden.

You feel Luna pull away from your fingers, which causes you to look at her. She smiles softly at you as the light from the moon and stars seemed to reflect gracefully off of her coat. It gave it a rather beautiful look.

Before you could contemplate if she was causing this or not she speaks up, "I-....I have something I wish to tell you," you raise an eyebrow and open your mouth to speak, but she covers it with a hoof and continues, "Do not speak."

She sets her hoof down and sits on the cobblestone path, you do the same though you cross your legs instead. She takes a deep breath and seems to look away from you. She seems quite...antsy, or anxious...and was she blushing? What's going on?

'Wait,' you thought, 'Could, she actually developed a crush on me? I mean it would make sense. The years we've known each other and the pranks we pulled together.'

Well it looks like you'll get your answer, because she turns to face you again and stares down into your eyes. She takes another deep breath and opens her mouth to say whatever is making her act...different.

"We have known thee for some time now, about five to six years to be exact, a-and we have become rather," she stops and breaths again, 'My god she is that nervous?" You thought as she continued.

"W-we have become rather close to thee, and thou hast become a friend we have never had in such a long time. One who we could call our...in your words, best friend. But recently we have experienced...warmer affections for our friend."

By now her cheeks appeared to be burning and she was shuffling on the cobblestone, poor mare. You reach out a hand to gentle take her hoof and comfort it, causing her to look at your hand and then you. Her blush having grown from the contact.

"A-and we ask if thou might share our a-affection?" She continued, her stuttering starting to get worse. You aren't sure yourself if you liked Luna that way. But you have to admit she has always been like the teenage girl you'd get your first real crush on, whom would usually later not return your affections at all.

But now tis quite the opposite and your heart is arguing with your head. But the sound of someone gulping snaps you out of the mental war as you look at Luna. She was biting her lips rather hard as she waited for your answer, you had to decide fast.

It appears, though, neither side can win. Effectively leaving you to decide on your own. On one hand she IS cute and kind. But on another she IS a different species and a Princess...

Ah screw it, inter-species relationships were all the rage on the internet anyway, and who cares if she's a Princess right? You move your other hand to the same hoof your first one is on, gently picking her hoof up and staring into her eyes.

She blush deepens and she fidgets, but doesn't resist. Instead staring back at you as you smiled at her. She opens her mouth to speak, but you opt to lean closer to her and kiss her on the lips to tell her the affection is mutual shared.

She freezes and her eyes go wide as her wings involuntarily leave her sides and rise a bit. It takes her a few moments to realize what you're doing before she relaxes and wraps her hooves around your neck. She gently pushes back into the kiss, her lips soft against yours.

Your heart was beating faster from just one simple kiss. You thought it would feel like nothing, but your heart made you feel like you were about to jump off the mountain itself and into the valley below. Good thing you're not or you'd not only be dead but the first human pancake!

Eventually you lungs demand oxygen or they threaten to make you pass out. You attempt to gently pull away from the kiss as you take a deep breath to refill your lungs. Luna appeared to be doing the same as her blush apparently only grew hotter from the kiss you gave her.

A minute passes before Luna speaks up, "S-so dost thou admit thine affection for me?"

You couldn't help but chuckle at that medieval speech in the mix as you nod, "Yes Luna. I admit my affection towards you."

She smiles and nuzzles your cheek, "We-...I am very glad to hear that my friend. Or should I say my coltfriend~" she giggles to herself and snuggles you, rubbing her head against your chest. You wrap your arms around her and shrug.

"Well we did just kiss and last I checked friends never really so that, so I believe I am your...coltfriend?"

She sighs happily and turns her head to look up at you, "Twould be equivalent to thy word of a boyfriend."

You nod and kiss her on the nose, making her giggle more. At least you knew what it was...not that you didn't know of course! Your left hand moves up to her mane and your start to pet it. Both of you stay like this for a few minutes as the water gently flows down from the fountain.

Eventually you both hear a bell ring 12 strokes, midnight. Luna slips from your grasp and stands up, you doing the same. She smiles and leans over to kiss your cheek before she speaks, "I must go attend to the court, as it is my duty. But I do hope to see thee again, anon."

She smiles at you and unfurls her wings, you hadn't noticed they had been tucked against her body once more. Guess you got distracted! She smiles and winks at you before flapping her wings and talking off, no doubt heading to the throne room for the next few hours.

You can't help but grin and turn around, looking at the flowers. You realize you winded up dropping your apple somewhere...the darn mare really did distract you now didn't she? Unless she...Oh that sly mare, she does love Sweet Apple Acres apples. She must've taken it while you were sitting and scratching her ears! Oh well, you can get more hopefully.

As you look to the flowers again, smiling, you notice a moonflower start to bloom. Almost as if it was a symbol of a newly blooming relationship amidst the nighttime air.

Hope y'all enjoyed the one-shot. But I wonder if anyone else knows what Anon stands for other than Anonymous?
