‘Tomorrow is the last day,’ thought Luna with a sigh as she sliced some carrots for a late night snack. While they weren’t as neat or as cleanly sliced as Applejack’s, she was certain nopony would complain.

Speaking of whom, Luna turned to look at the farming mare who was also in the kitchen whipping up some hot apple cider. Applejack was still wearing the same green bikini she had been wearing all week, but she no longer seemed ashamed to be wearing it. Her posture, the way she slowly sashayed her hips and tail in front of a certain stallion, and even the way she sat said that she was now more comfortable wearing such revealing attire.

A small smile appeared on Luna’s face as she remembered the conversation the two of them had a few days ago. Applejack and Harvest had returned to the beach house after their very first romp, and it was easy for the adults to tell what had happened given the way AJ was walking. While Apple Bloom left to collect sea shells to make necklaces for her friends, Luna pulled Applejack into the kitchen as Big Mac gestured Harvest to follow him. Most likely to give the clichéd, “big brother” talk.

Once in the kitchen, Luna went over the questions like what did they did and how it was. Each answer was followed by a large blush from the farming mare. When she was done asking questions, Luna told Applejack that if she ever needed help she could come to her for advice.

After that, things became… interesting, to say the least. With both relationships now in the open, there was very little reason to hide them. Well, at least from each other. It was Apple Bloom who they needed to hide their more debaucherous actions from. Luckily this proved to be very simple. One couple always stayed near Apple Bloom if the other ever went off to have some fun. Also the couple that left had to make sure that they were either far away from the group; whether it be the waterfall or locking themselves in the bedroom.

“And no more humping in the kitchen!” Luna had declared during their chat, following the explanation of the desire to not find suspicious fluids that may or may not end up in their food...

Then after Apple Bloom went to bed, the adults would gather around like they were doing right now to play dirty games. Apparently Celestia had numerous board games like Screw; a sexualized version of the game Clue. Or they would make up their own games.

Strip poker only went so far, then Luna decided—once everyone had removed their clothes, that the lowest value hand of cards, i.e. the loser, had to pick someone that wasn’t their other half to declare a sexual act their partner had to perform; like one partner eating out the other, or sucking on their dick.

Another game their liked to play was called Brink. It was played with pairs of however many, but this case was two teams of two. With each pair, one was a giver and the other was the receiver. The giver’s job was to push the receiver almost to the edge of an orgasm without the receiver cumming. The receiver, however, was not allowed to give any sign that he or she was about to cum. In other words, they had to remain still as possible while getting pleasured.

After a few hours of these games, the couples headed up to their bedrooms for more private fun. Applejack, who had taken Luna up on her offer, had been trying on various kinds of sexy attire that the moon princess had helped pick out. Sometimes, after Harvest had come out of the shower, he would find Applejack waiting on the bed dressed in sexy lingerie that she would normally be too ashamed to wear. Sometimes she would wear a laced corset that stopped just below her boobs with fishnet stockings, and other times she would wear a bra and panty set with heart shaped cut outs around her nipples as well as her pussy.

Every night, Applejack would wear one of these types of outfits before finally falling asleep, naked, after all their fun next to Harvest, both covered in each other’s sweat and fluids.

Then there were the toys. The closet had many, many different types of sex toys which the two liked to try out. Mostly Applejack liked to stick to the anal beads, but they did try out some of the light bondage gear from time to time. Nothing painful, just handcuffs and ball gags to restrict movement.

As for Luna and Big Mac, their lovemaking was simple, yet still extremely passionate. Each night the two would explore the others bodies, learning what pleased the other as if making a map of the erogenous zones on each body. They didn’t bother with anything extra, all they needed was each other and that was enough to make them cum time after time until they both passed out from exhaustion.

Luna didn’t bother to hide the blush on her face as she remembered her favorite time with Big Mac, other than their first of course. It had been the other day and Luna was in the shower cleaning off the sand from her body. She saw Mac enter the bathroom and she beckoned him to join her. The night princess trembled slightly as she remembered his firm yet soapy hands as they moved around her body under the pretense of cleaning it.

Soon she found herself pressed against the glass door, her breasts flattened and in full view for anypony walking in to see as Big Mac took her from behind. It was an indescribable feeling. Just thinking about it caused a drip of Luna’s arousal to leak from her pussy and down her leg.

Once the snacks were finished, the two mares brought them into the family room where the stallions were waiting on different love couches, a table separating the two. Both Luna and Applejack placed the food they had prepared on the table before sitting next to their respective lover.

“So what are we going to do tomorrow?” asked Harvest as he picked up a mug of hot apple cider and a carrot stick.

“We could just do whatever we feel like,” said Mac before taking a bite out of his carrot stick.

“Come on big fella,” said AJ. “It’s our last day here and we gotta make it count!”

“Well,” said Luna, drawing the attention of everypony there. “There is something that I would like to do.”

“What’s that, Luna?” asked Applejack.

“I was thinking that we spend the day without any clothes on,” the princess said. This earned her several odd expressions from her friends. They all seemed to scream ‘are you crazy?’.

Harvest was the first to recover. “Princess, I mean no disrespect, but why’s that?” he asked.

Luna picked up her drink and took a sip. “I guess because this will be the last time we will ever get to do something like this,” she said. “We’re on an island where we can do almost whatever we want with nopony to judge us. So let’s dispense all sense of modesty for one day and walk around naked like our ancestors did. Plus, don’t you think it’ll be kinky?”

“Uh, Luna, we can’t do that,” said Big Mac. “Apple Bloom is here and it wouldn’t be right to lock her in her room.”

“Darn tootin’ right it’s not,” agreed Applejack while Harvest nodded.

“Oh don’t worry about that,” asked Luna with a grin. “I have a plan.”

“This is gonna be so much fun!” exclaimed Apple Bloom as she jumped up and down, still dressed in her swim wear. Standing next to her was Luna with a grin on her face while Harvest, Big Mac, and Applejack stood before them with AJ looking a little worried.

“Now ya both be safe now ya hear,” she said. “Ah want ya ta stay close ta Princess Luna. No running off now, ya hear?”

“Come on Applejack,” said Apple Bloom as she looked towards the door. “We’re just goin’ into the forest.”

“Where ya nearly got eaten,” reminded Applejack sternly, crossing her arms as she did so.

“That is why I’m going with her,” said Luna, who hadn’t lost her smile. “I can watch over her and keep her safe in case there are any more surprises that my sister forgot to tell me about. And I can teach her a few things about wilderness survival and how to protect herself. Don’t worry, she’s in good hands.”

Harvest let out sigh. “It’s true,” he said while turning to look at his marefriend. “Princess Luna regularly goes out into far worse areas of Equestria to fight monsters and the like. She’s taken several courses in wilderness survival from some of the best in Equestria.”

Applejack bit her bottom lip. “That may be true an’ all,” she said before letting out a defeated sigh and patting Apple Bloom on the head. “Ya both just be careful.”

With that, Luna and Apple Bloom said their goodbye’s before walking out the door. A moment or two after they left the three remaining adults heard hoof steps walking down the stairs. When they turned around they saw Princess Luna standing naked before them with a satisfied smirk on her face. With a hand on her hip, she leaned against the doorway while wearing an expression that said ‘so what are you all waiting for’. Taking the hint, all of them began to strip out what little clothing they were wearing.

“Ya sure that illusion can take care of Bloom?” asked Applejack as she undid her top, letting the twins out for all to see.

“For the last time, it isn’t an illusion spell,” said Luna as she rolled her eyes. “It’s called the doppelganger spell.” Luna’s eyes then began to glow bright white and her mane began to become longer until it reached the floor. Then another Luna walked out of her mane with a smile on her face. As the original Luna’s mane began to shrink the second Luna walked over to Applejack, took hold of her bikini bottom, and pulled it down.

“What the?” cried out Applejack as the stallions watched with their mouths hanging.

“This is the same spell used against Rainbow Dash when she was trying to fix the bridge to get you all to the Castle of the Two Sisters,” said the second Luna. “It’s also the spell that allows me to watch over the dreams of foals while also being able to fight monsters. The doppelganger spell makes a physical copy of me with all of my memories and skills.”

“And that’s not all,” said the original with a grin. She snapped her fingers and her mane connected with her clone’s mane. When that happened the clone’s body seemed be sucked back into the mane. “When the clone is returned, I receive all of her memories so I will know what happened while she was away from me. This way, when I next see Apple Bloom, I will know everything that ‘we’ did together.”

“Wow, that trick must come in handy,” said Applejack as she stepped out of her bikini bottom. “Sure wish ah was a unicorn now. Trick like be mighty useful durin’ apple bucking season.”

“It has its uses, but it has its drawbacks,” admitted Luna. “Each time I use it, I am literally cutting my magic and soul in half with each copy. If I make too many both me and my copies will be too weak to do anything. I might even die. That’s why I try never to go about six at once.”

“Now ah don’t want that,” said Big Mac as he moved to step next to Luna. The two looked each other in the eye for a moment before kissing the other passionately.

“You have nothing to fear, my love,” said Luna after they pulled apart. “I would never put myself in that kind of position. Not now when I have somepony like you in my life.” Her words caused all of the adults in the room to blush.

“So,” said Harvest, drawing attention to himself. “We’re all naked. Now what?”

“Ah bet the water’s nice,” said Applejack with a smile.

With that, the four of them made their way out of the cabin onto the sandy beach. Once outside, they could all feel something was different than before. From a young age, they had been told that it wasn’t decent to walk around naked. That they should at least cover their private areas and only show those to somepony they loved. Most of them had expected to feel shame or something similar as soon as they walked out the door.

That, however, wasn’t the cause. It was very odd, but they felt… free. Like something primal inside of them had begun to rise inside of them, telling them that this was the way it should be. To show off their cutie marks proudly for all to see as well as display their bodies.

Soon the four were in the water, playing like they were all foals again but not caring. They swam and splashed each other, laughing more than the others times they had done the same during the week. At one point, Big Mac hoisted Luna onto his shoulders and felt her naked sex press against his neck. This caused Luna to laugh, her arms stretched out towards the sky as her nipples became hard for all to see while her breasts bounced freely before the two fell into the water.

Soon they found themselves playing a new game. Big Mac and Harvest took Applejack by her hands and hooves before swinging her back and forth. Once they felt they had enough momentum, they released her so that she went flying towards the water. Once she swam back it was Luna’s turn. Then Applejack and Luna switched with the guys. There was no score to see who could be flung the farthest or anything like that. They were too busy laughing to be bothered by such little details.

After a few hours of playing in the water, Luna suggested a volleyball tournament. Stallions versus mares, with the losers having to make the winners a snack.

“Ha, there’s no way we can lose,” said Applejack, her breasts freely bouncing with each step.

Things, however, did not go as well as she suspected. Several times, the two mares hit the ball so hard it went out of bounds. Other times they crashed into each other, landing on top of the other in the process. Sure, they managed to put up a good fight, but in the end they lost by six points.

“Well, we’d better get cleaned up before we make you colts a snack,” said Luna as she winked at the stallions. She then wrapped an arm around Applejack’s shoulder and led her into the cabin.

“Still can’t believe we lost,” muttered Applejack as they walked into the kitchen and headed towards the cabinets. “Ah mean, we had one of the most athletic earth ponies from Ponyville and a thousand year old alicorn on our team. How could we lose?”

“First,” said Luna as she pulled out some chocolate sauce from fridge, “one of us was a little over confident going in. Second, just because I’m old or an alicorn doesn’t mean I have unlimited experience in all things. I hate it when ponies assume that.”

Applejack’s ears flatten against her skull. “Oh, sorry,” she said sheepishly. “Ah guess ah never thought of it like that. Must get pretty annoying.”

Luna rolled her eyes as she pulled out some strawberries. “You have no idea,” she said. “But, to be honest, I was hoping we’d lose.”

“Say what?!” yelled Applejack. “Ya mean ya threw the match?”

“Nope,” said Luna while pulling out some whip cream.

“They why did ya hope we’d lose,” asked Applejack. She then eyed the stuff Luna had pulled out before looking at the Princess herself, who was looking at Applejack like a hungry predator.

“Because I wanted us both to try something I read and make it a surprise for the stallions out there,” she said right before she grabbed Applejack’s wrist. “Now, let’s get you cleaned up properly.”

Meanwhile, Harvest and Big Mac were at the outdoor showers, cleaning off the sweat and sand from their bodies. For the longest time, the two washed in silence only occasionally glancing at the other. Finally, Mac said something.

“Ah don’t know how Ah’m gonna get by once this week is over,” he said as he turned off the water.

“Going to miss paradise too much?” asked Harvest as he did the same.

“Nnope,” said Mac as he grabbed a nearby towel and began to dry off with Harvest a step behind him. “It’s Luna. Ah…Ah know we’ll still see each other. But she’ll be in Canterlot and Ah’ll be in Ponyville. Suppose it could be worse like me being in Appleloosa or somethin’ like that, but there’s still a difference and we won’t be able to see each other all that often. And when we do Ah’ll most likely be tired and unable to give her the attention she deserves.”

Harvest, surprisingly, smiled at this. “Sounds like you really love her,” he said while planting a hand on the other stallions shoulder.

“Eeyup,” replied Big Mac.

“Well then, as far as I know, all of those worries comes with the territory,” said Harvest. “This might sound cheesy but making love work may be hard but is rewarding. Heck, I’m going to be transferring to Ponyville once I get back home so I can be with AJ. The job will be slightly different but I really don’t care as long as I can be there to make her as happy as she makes me.”

Big Mac nodded slightly as the two walked towards the cabin, thinking about what the thestral had said. Thoughts began to swirl in his head about possibly starting up his own farm outside of Canterlot. It would take time, and a lot of bits to purchase land so close to the capital, but it would be worth it to be closer to-

Big Mac’s thoughts stopped abruptly when he saw the ‘treat’ Luna had planned for them. Lying on the kitchen floor were the two mares, decorated in a way that caused both of their members to stiffen. Mac kept his eyes glued on Luna who was lying on her back and had used whipped cream on naked body to cover her breasts and pussy like a bikini with two juicy red strawberries were her nipples were. Also, around her neck was chocolate sauce that gave her the appearance that she was wearing a necklace.

While Big Mac licked his lips at the sight of Luna, Harvest moved towards Applejack. Unlike Luna, Applejack was lying face down with her head raised and ass raised. Her hands were holding her ass cheeks apart, revealing that her tail hole was covered with whipped cream and a single strawberry. And her legs, they had strands of whip cream and chocolate sauce running down them.

Next to the mares were more toppings for the two to add as they wished. There were apple slices cut into quarters, bananas, more chocolate sauce, sprinkles, two cans of whipped cream, oats, and so much more.

“Come and dig in,” said Luna in a husky voice. Nothing more needed to be said as the two stallions went towards their respective mare to enjoy their ‘treat’.

Big Mac was the first to dig in, going for Luna’s chocolate necklace first. Sticking out his tongue he gave it a long lick, lapping up the sauce while causing Luna to throw her head back and moan. Smirking at this, Mac continued his assault as he licked every inch of her throat until there was nothing left. But still he hungered for more. He brought his lips to Luna’s neck and began to kiss and suck on it, tasting the chocolate that still lingered in her coat until he could taste it no longer. Then he would move to another spot and try again. Luna had her eyes closed tightly as he did this, doing her best not to buck her hips or move in a way that would cause the toppings on her body to be disturbed. But she found it so hard not to bringer her fingers down to her lower lips and stimulate herself.

Luckily she didn’t have to. Big Mac reached over to where the additional toppings were and took an apple slice. He then brought it down to her trembling pussy and pushed it in causing her to open her eyes in surprise. Despite being out for a few minutes in the hot kitchen the apple slices were still chilled and made a distinct contrast to her warm pussy. Mac released the hold his lips had on her neck as he moved the slice around, coating it with her flowing juices. Finally he removed it and while Luna moaned in disappointment he brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

“Mmm,” he said in delight. “Might just become my favorite flavor of apple.” With that, he finished the slice before going down to kiss Luna while placing a hand on her right breast. He began to squeeze and knead it, crushing the strawberry on it in the process and smearing all over breast as well as mixing it with the whipped cream. Luna, for her part, wrapped her arms around his head as to keep them locked together as she tasted the snack he just ate as well as a bit of herself. She also spread her legs a bit more to further invite her lover and coltfriend.

Off to the side, Applejack was letting out small whines and moans. Harvest had started with her legs and thighs, lapping up both the chocolate and whipped cream at the same time. He nipped, sucked, and licked the powerful legs of his marefriend with the knowledge that it excited her. And he knew it was working. It wasn’t just the noises she was making, but he paid attention to her pussy out of the corner of his eye. He watched in growing satisfaction as Applejack’s juices began to run down her legs. He could also see her arms shaking, doing her best to keep her flank cheeks open so as not to ruin the ‘main dish’.

‘I think that’ll do’, he thought as got up onto his knees and licked his lips. He moved himself between Applejack’s legs and once he had gotten into position his hands moved down to AJ’s firm flank in a way that would keep them open for him. This also allowed Applejack to lower her arms so that they could rest.

Licking his lips, Harvest moved his head down towards his marefriend’s plot-hole. Once he was close enough he used to his tongue to pick up the strawberry before bringing it into his mouth. He quickly chewed the sweet fruit, not really caring to savour it, for he hungered for something more primal. Once the fruit had been swallowed he began to lap up the whipped cream only to discover that her hole had been covered with chocolate sauce.

The thestral was not put off by this sight. Ever since he and Applejack began seeing each other, she had always made sure that her back door was clear for their love making. It was the only way he’d lick that hole. So he knew that, if Applejack wanted him to focus on that hole, she would have made sure it was clean for him.

With a slight smirk, Harvest began to lick Applejack’s anus causing her to whine with pure delight. She then began to pound the floor with her fists as her body trembled in pleasure as Harvest’s tongue swirled around her hole. Over and over, round and round it went. Harvest continued to his assault while Applejack’s cry’s spurred him on.

Over with Big Mac and Luna, the red stallion had moved lower on the goddess’ perfect body. His tongue had finished lapping up the whipped cream and strawberry on her left breast to reveal a rock hard nipple that was just begging to be played with. He could also feel the other one, rock hard as well, underneath the palm of his hand. Skillfully he twirled his tongue around the left one while he continued to knead the right breast

Luna let out small, pleading whimpers. Each time his tongue circled her tit she felt small ripples of pleasure in her chest. And with each passing moment she felt them growing more intense. Luna could feel her juices leaking out, some of the whipped cream sliding off from her juices coating her nethers.

She then threw her head back, a primal scream escaping her mouth as she did so. For Big Mac had stopped his actions with his tongue and instead brought the tit into his mouth to bite it. It wasn’t a hard bite, more like a nibble. But her nipple was so hard, so sensitive at that moment she almost came right there.

As Luna lay there panting, Big Mac managed to get up and move towards where the extra toppings were. He then picked up the chocolate bottle and drizzled a hearty amount onto his member. When he turned to show it to his princess, Luna’s mouth watered at the sight of Big Macintosh’s chocolate-coated cock as a few stray drips of the delicious treat dripped to the floor. The look in her eyes screamed that she wanted it more than anything else at that moment. Mac smiled at her as he got on top of her and placed his rod between her breasts.

Lifting her head off the floor, Luna was able to take about an inch of his member into her watering mouth while her hands pressed against her breasts. Luna then began to suck as furiously as she could on Big Mac’s cock, bobbing her head slightly as she did. As the pressure increased between her breasts, Luna then added her tongue to the mix as the twirled it around the tip of his dick. At first, Mac’s eyes widened followed by a throaty groan. The feeling of what Luna was doing to his cock… it was next to impossible to explain. It look every ounce of willpower he had not to start thrusting into her mouth as he felt his precum began to leak out.

“Oohhh,” Luna cooed as she felt Big Mac’s tangy fluid on her tongue, causing her to release the cock from her mouth while making a loud popping noise. “Looks like my big, strong stallion likes that. Tell me how much you like this. Keep moaning for me, baby.” As Luna finished that last sentence, she stuck out her tongue and licked the cocks slit while her eyes locked onto Mac’s.

The stallion couldn’t take it any longer. Without warning he began to thrust his dick into her mouth, ignoring the chocolate-covered breasts. At first, Luna looked shocked before her sultry expression returned. Slowly his thrusts went deeper into her mouth, Luna licking off every trace of chocolate she could find until she felt him hit the back of her throat. She wanted more, to get more pleasure as well as give it.

Soon it became too much for the stallion as he grabbed the back of his beloved princess’s head. With one final thrust he shot his first load into her mouth causing Luna’s eyes to roll into the back of her head in pure ecstasy. Luna did her best to swallow it all but there was just so much. In the end a bits of his cum began to leak out from her lips before finally swallowing as much as she could. Above her, Big Mac was panting slightly, sliding out and nestling his rod back between her breasts ready for another go.

However, Big Mac slid down Luna’s body so that the two were face to face. Once they were, he kissed her with the same great passion he always gave her when they made love, not being bothered in the slightest that a moment ago his seed filled her mouth. The two began a passionate make-out session, the kind that caused them to ignore all that was around them and instead focused on each other. This was the way Luna believed love should be and Big Mac always believed.

Back with the other couple, Applejack was no longer able to keep quiet under the assault that was Harvest’s rim job. The poor mare could only take so much as her stallion’s tongue continued to lick her rear, resulting in very loud moans that were almost screams of pleasure. More than once did her eyes roll into the back of her head as her own orgasm neared, only to be put off as Harvest slowed down or simply paused to allow her to calm down a bit.

In short, it was sexual torture.

It was when Harvest stopped that Applejack let out a whine. She turned her to look back so to see Harvest smirking at her. Applejack opened her mouth to say something but was quieted when she felt his fingers near her hole, spreading it slightly. Harvest then moved his head down towards Applejack’s plot and soon she felt his tongue buried in her asshole

Applejack’s head began to roll around and she was certain that, for a moment at least, she became crossed eyes. This was a new experience for her. Several times before Harvest had given her a rim job and she loved every one, but never before had she had a tongue in there before. While it didn’t go as deep as a cock could, the way it swirled around and wiggled was just mind blowing. After several minutes of this, Applejack’s body convulsed as she came hard while screaming at the top of her lungs.

As she came down from her orgasmic high, a heavily panting Applejack took notice of how sweaty she and the others were becoming. Sweat matted their fur and she could feel some dripping from her nipples. Whatever food was still on them was either falling off or was smeared and watered down against their coats.

Harvest, meanwhile, pulled his head back from the mare’s impressive flank while licking his lips. Apparently somepony hand managed to candy-coat her insides as well making this quite the treat for him. And seeing how much the mare he loved enjoy his actions drove him on while forgetting that he wanted to draw this out as long as possible.

Still, Harvest knew who he was dealing with. He knew Applejack’s limits from all their past playtimes and he could tell just by looking at her that she wasn’t done; that she could go several more rounds.

So once more he spread her ass with his fingers which was easy thanks to all the times it had been stretched before. He then brought his cock to the entrance before ramming it in. He felt Applejack tremble and heard her moan in her sweet voice. He felt the walls of her anal passage tighten and squeeze his member tightly while feeling its warmth. He then leaned forward until his chest was against her back while AJ turned her head to once more look at him. Once she was in position Harvest captured her mouth with his own, kissing her while at the same time pulling out a bit before thrusting back in. Applejack moan in his mouth and again when she felt a hand begin to grope her breast, squeezing her nipple while he thrusted into her.

Over with Luna and Big Mac, the red stallion had moved down the alicorn’s body and was eating her out. With each lick, Big Mac savored the pure taste of his goddess with the fruit this time. He nibbled at her pussy lips several times followed up by returning to run his tongue around her snatch. Every once in a while he would aim for the nub above those winking lips, giving it a light lick so as to not set her off.

As he did this, Luna was in a state of ecstasy. Her body thrashed back and forth while she did her best to keep her flank on the ground so she wouldn’t interrupt Big Mac’s work. Her large, perky breasts swayed back and forth until her hands grabbed them so that they could get the attention that Mac couldn’t provide. She squeezed them and played with her nipples, drawing out further pleasure until she could take no more.

“Please,” she said in a begging tone. “I need you inside of me.”

At this, Mac stopped in mid lick. He lifted his head before giving the night princess a knowing smile. He moved his body up, pressing it against Luna’s until they were face to face while a hand held his cock so that it could enter her canal. Once everything was set, he entered her slowly so that they could savor every second. Both closed their eyes as they enjoyed the sensation of being connected like this. It wasn’t until Mac was fully hilted inside Luna, filling her completely, that they opened their eyes.

Before Big Mac could begin thrusting, Luna leaned forwards and whispered something into his ear. He looked uncertain for a moment but decided to try and do his best. He wrapped his strong arms around Luna’s waist and pulled up while at the same time moving his legs so that, in the end, he was able to sit on his legs. Luna, for her part, wrapped her legs around Mac’s waist while at the same time taking hold of his broad shoulders for support. For a moment the two stayed where they were, adjusting to this new position. Because of how their bodies were situated, Luna’s nipples were touching Big Mac’s lips. Not only that but she felt Mac’s cock going deeper into her body.

Then, Luna began to move. It was small at first as she tested the waters. As she descended, she felt greater pleasure as Mac’s member hit her sweet spot. She threw her head back and began to go faster and faster, picking up speed with every bounce. While this happened, Mac stared as if mesmerized by Luna’s tit as it too bounced in front of him and touched his lips. Eventually he could no longer contain himself and clamped onto it, sucking on it like a newborn foal. This caused Luna to let go of the shoulders and instead wrap her arms around Mac’s head, pressing him closer to her chest.

Over with Applejack, she wore the expression of pure bliss. Her eyes were unfocused as her mouth hung open, her tongue hanging out while drool fell to the ground. Harvest was moving faster and faster, slapping her ass every once in a while giving her surges of pleasure that felt like electric shocks.All that mattered right now was the pleasure high she was on as it grew more intense with each thrust until finally she could take no more. As Harvest thrusted into her Applejack came hard, her ass clenching tightly as her juices gushed from her pussy. The feeling on her anal walls tightening around his cock caused Harvest to cum as well, shooting his load deep into his marefriend before pulling out and falling onto his back.

But Applejack wasn’t done. Something primal in her spurred causing her to turn around and take hold of the semi hard member. Without wasting a moment she took the cock in her mouth, tasting the cum on it and purring. Yet this wasn’t enough. She wanted more. She wanted to feel his hot life juice as it shot into her mouth. So she then began to suck on it while her head bobbed up and down so that she could get more of his seed. And despite having already cum, Harvest felt himself get hard as another orgasm slowly approached.

Within the next several minutes, both parties reached their own climaxes. Luna felt Big Mac shoot his load deep into the depths of her body. The feeling of this caused her eyes to roll into the back of her head as she let out a deep throaty groan and cumming herself. The walls of her pussy tightened, milking Mac’s cock of every drop of his cum before he fell backwards with his princess still on top of him. Both breathed heavily and embraced each other as they calmed down. As for Applejack, her efforts paid off as Harvest shot his own load into her mouth. She took the cock out of her mouth to swallow what she had just as several more large ropes of the white fluid shot out again, hitting her in the face almost looking like she was wearing a white mask. When Harvest had finally finished his cock went limp and Applejack, too tired to even scope up the cum on her face, fell besides him.

For the longest time, the four adults just lay there panting. The only things that moved were their stomachs as well as their eyes. And they could clearly see that they were all a mess. All of their coats were matted with sweat, cum, and smeared with the remains of food. Their manes too were a mess, except for Luna’s which still seemed to move on a constant breeze. The scent of sex permeated their bodies and the air.

Then the sound of a stomach rumbling was heard, but nopony had the strength to look in his or her direction.

“I think we’d better get cleaned up,” said Luna after a while as she slowly got up, Big Mac’s cum running down her legs.

“Luna, look at all of them!” cried Apple Bloom as she looked into the trees above them and pointed. The Luna clone looked up to see that the branches above them were covered by hundreds of rainbow colored cocoons. Each one of them glistened with bright colors that only the most skilled painters in Equestria could manage to reproduce.

“Remarkable,” said Luna with a smile as she took in their beauty.

“Do ya know what they are?” asked Apple Bloom eagerly.

This caused Luna to frown. “Sadly no,” she replied. “I have a far greater knowledge of animal life that dwells during the night than that of the day.” She then let out a sigh as she looked down at Apple Bloom. “I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful.”

“Nah, it’s alright,” said the younger filly. “Ah was just curious, that’s all.”

Luna smiled as the two continued to walk, relieved that she wasn’t asked why a pony who had been alive for over a thousand years didn’t know everything. Personally, she found it rather short sighted of some ponies to assume such things. The world was indeed vast with plenty of areas that hadn’t been fully explored, with new creatures constantly springing up that neither she nor her sister had ever seen. Heck, there were teachers out there that didn’t know everything about the subjects that they teach.

‘It also doesn’t help that I was sealed in the moon for a thousand years,’ thought Luna.

After walking for a while the two came to a grassy hill overlooking a calm river. Nothing was special about it, other than it looked like a comfortable place to sit down and rest their hooves. The two sat down, pulled out several apples that Luna had packed for their trip, and began to eat.

Apple Bloom took a bite out of her apple, eager to finish it and continue her adventure. So far she had been having so much fun! Their journey had led them to walk across bridges that were nothing more than giant trees that had fallen over the rivers, and swinging across on vines too. And despite Luna not knowing about the bugs they had seen, she had taught Apple Bloom a lot. Luna had taught her about various mosses and how some of them can be used to tell directions or when there was water nearby. Then she pointed out plants that a pony could eat if they were lost in the woods with no other source of food.

But so far the best lesson she had been taught was how to defend herself. It had started when Apple Bloom had picked up a stick and began swinging it around like a sword, attacking enemies that only she could see. When Luna told her to stop the young filly thought that she was in trouble and would soon be getting a lecture. Well, she got a lecture alright! Luna told her that the stick she was better suited to be used as a staff weapon instead of a piercing one. She then began to show Bloom how to hold it, moving her hand in just the right way as well as correcting her stance. Once that was done, Luna began to tell her how to use that stick to strike down all sorts of creatures in self-defense.

‘Ah still can’t believe that she showed me that,’ thought Apple Bloom as she took another bite. ‘Heck, if Applejack had been here she would have told me it ain’t safe and that she’d protect me.’ As she finished that thought a frown appeared on Apple Bloom’s face. One that was quickly noticed by Luna.

“Is everything alright, Apple Bloom?” asked Luna out of concern.

“Luna,” began Apple Bloom as she looked over at the night princess, “did Princess Celestia every treat you like a foal when you were growing up?”

Luna blinked in surprise. ‘Well that’s a new one,’ she thought. ‘Normally when ponies ask me about my past it’s usually about me and Nightmare Moon. Kind of refreshing.’ As Luna thought about the best way to answer she laid down onto the grass, staring into the cloudless sky above them.

“No,” said Luna after a minute. “She always treated me like I was an adult.”

“Bet that was nice,” commented Apple Bloom.

“Not really,” said Luna with a sigh. “She was acted like I was capable of solving my own problems and left it up to me to figure things out. Never really getting involved too much. I guess she trusted me and felt I was mature enough to do it, but sometimes I, when I really needed her help, she wasn’t there.”

“Like when?” asked Bloom.

Luna let out another sigh. “Well there was the time she tried to help me make more friends. See, for years the two of us played in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters; just the two of us. Even when Celestia was busy with work she would always take an hour or two off just to spend time with me. Then, one day, she out of the blue said she couldn’t and left me alone. So I played in the castle by myself but it wasn’t the same. I felt so… lonely. The next day it was the same. And then the next. Eventually I went to see her, but when I found her she was having fun with Starswirl.

“I was so mad at her for not inviting me. I confronted her to let her know how I felt but all she said was that it was time that we made new friends. But I didn’t know how to do that. You saw how clueless I was on Nightmare Night. I tried and tried, but every time was met with failure. And when I went back to talk to Celestia about it and ask her for advice, she said that she knew I had it in me to figure things out on my own. So I kept trying until, finally, I gave up.”

“Wow and here Ah thought Princess Celestia was more helpful like,” said Bloom as she tossed the core of her apple away.

“That’s the thing about her teaching method,” said Luna. “Celestia… she believes that she always knows what ponies are capable of. That they have it inside of themselves to solve difficult problems. But sometimes she overestimates a pony’s abilities or knowledge.” Luna then got up into a sitting position. “Now, if you don’t mind me asking, what brought up this question?”

“Well...” began Apple Bloom as she looked down. “Lately Ah’ve been tryin’ ta do more stuff on my own like a grown up pony would. Like a while back ah was left home alone ta do the chores while everypony else had to go out of town. But Applejack came back and started treating my like a baby, putting two helmets on my head. In the end, ah had to do her delivery just ta show ah could take care of myself. And every once in a while, she still gets like that thinkin’ that ah’m not old enough or not ready enough.”

For a moment, Luna just looked at Apple Bloom as she took in what the filly had said. Then, slowly, Luna smiled before patting her on the head.

“I guess all younger sisters have to deal with this,” said Luna. “Big sisters are the ones who are supposed to help us prepare for the world. To teach their younger siblings even when they themselves don’t know how to. Or even when they’re not ready to.”

“Ya think Applejack doesn’t want me to grow up?” asked the younger Apple sister.

“More like she isn’t ready for you to grow up,” said Luna gently.

“Huh...” said Apple Bloom as she looked up at the sky. “Ah never thought of like that.” She then looked over at Luna and gave her an odd smile.

“What’s this about?” asked Luna with a raised eyebrow.

“Nothing,” said Apple Bloom. “Just that ah kind of think you’d make a good big sis. Wouldn’t mind havin’ another.”

It was later in the day and the two couples were lying on beach towels, their bodies glistening with tanning oils. Before them was the ocean which they listened to as it roared. Above them the sea gulls cried out as they looked for food.

After the sex escapade in the kitchen the four of them had washed up. Separately of course, for they were too tired to have another round at the moment and didn’t want the temptation. Then after they had all cleaned themselves off they went to work in the kitchen cleaning up the mess while opening a window to air out the smell. After all, they didn’t want Apple Bloom asking questions that they didn’t want to answer.

Once that was done, the four of them had a real meal. Applejack had cut up several apples and began cooking them on a pan while Luna made several daisy sandwiches. The stallions didn’t sit idle but instead prepared the drinks and set the table. Once everything was set they ate in order to regain their strength.

After their meal, the four spent several hours playing in the water. One such activity was a boat ride that was powered by Luna, followed by Harvest, pushing them from behind at great speed. They then did some snorkeling, examining the fish that surrounded the island as well as all of the life that existed on the ocean’s floor.

And now, they were relaxing in the embrace of their lovers.

“What a day,” said Harvest as he looked over at Applejack. When the mare turned to look at him he surprised her with a heated kiss. Applejack moaned as she wrapped her arms around him, pressing her body against him so that he could feel her hard nipples against his skin.

“Looks like someponies are ready for another go,” said Luna as she looked at them.

“Eeyup,” agreed Big Mac with a nod. He then closed his eyes so that he could better savor Luna’s hand as it gently landed on his chest and moved downwards until it landed on his slowly hardening cock.

“Let’s show them who’s better at this as I make you cum hard,” said Luna before kissing Mac’s neck.

“Them sounds like fighting words,” said Applejack as she pulled away from Harvest.

“Just stating a fact,” replied Luna, not bothering to look at Applejack. Instead she began to nuzzle Mac’s neck. “I know for certain that I can make Big Mac cum harder than you can make Harvest.”

“Oh it is on!” said Applejack right before she turned to look at Harvest with a predatory look in her eyes that silenced any protest he might have had. He then watched as Applejack licked her lips before moving down his body, kissing and licking his fur as she made her way down to his crotch. Once there she took hold of Harvest’s cock in one hand and began to stroke it while at the same time licking his ball sack.

“Now ya done it,” sighed Big Mac knowing that Luna had triggered Applejack’s competitive side. Luna, however, didn’t seem worried about it. Instead she gave him a sultry smile as her eyes began to glow white.

“Not yet I haven’t,” she said in a husky voice that nearly made him shudder in delight.

“But I know that you’ll enjoy yourself when I have,” said a voice next to him that sounded exactly like Luna. He turned his head to his other side and, sure enough, there was another naked Luna next to him giving him the same look as the original. Together as one they began kissing, licking, and nibbling driving the stallion wild in delight. Even in his wildest dreams he never thought this was possible. But then again who would ever dream about having sex with twin Princess Luna’s on the beach.

Slowly the two moved down from his neck towards his nipples. There they each took one in their mouths where they then began to circle them with their tongues. As they did this, their hands roared his well-muscled body in a gentle caress. Mac cried out loudly as his cock shot up nice and hard faster than it had ever done so before.

‘Now that just ain’t fair,’ thought Applejack as she spied on what Luna was doing while sucking on one of Harvest’s balls. As she did this she continued to stroke his still hardening member. ‘Looks like ah should up mah game somehow.’ Applejack thought about what she should do, going over what she knew she wouldn’t do along with the things she had yet to fully embrace. Then she decided.

“Ya like that Harvest?” she asked in her sexiest after releasing his ball from her mouth, making a popping noise as she did. “Ya like having your heavy ball sac in mah warm mouth?” She paused to give his sack a lick. “Ah can’t wait ta get mah hands on your cum. Ah can’t wait ta have it fill mah mouth an ass until they overflow. Would ya like ta see that, Sugarcube?”

“Yessss,” Harvest hissed in delight as he felt his cock stiffen completely. Applejack smiled as she looked up and saw that precum had begun to form at the tip of his penis. Licking her lips, Applejack moved her head so that her tongue could take the fluid into her mouth before beginning to circle around the head. Over and over and around and round it went causing Harvest to buck his hips slightly.

Over with Big Mac, the two Luna’s had also made their way down to their stallion’s cock. They, however, had a different idea on how to get his cum. Each one placed their hands underneath their breasts and parted them as they moved their lovely mounds together with Mac’s penis in the middle. Once everything was in place, the Luna’s moved their hands so that they were more to the side to press them against his member, adding pressure. While it wasn’t the same type of pressure he would normally get from a normal boob job, it was still enjoyable.

But what came next was something that he knew he would remember for the rest of his life. Both Luna’s stuck out their tongues so that they could use them to taste his meat. At first they stay on their own side, licking it up and down as their breasts moved in the same fashion. After a few minutes of this, they changed their attack plan. The Luna on the right (the original) moved her head so that she could suck on the cock’s head, tasting the precum as well as sucking on it so she could get more. While that was going on the Luna on the left (the clone) began to wrap her tongue around his shaft.

Big Mac did his best to fight his impending orgasm. But it was difficult. So very difficult as the Luna’s began to speed up their actions. The original began sucking hard and taking more of his cock into her mouth as she bobbed her head up and down. And the clone, she was now adding slurping sounds as she licked his member that seemed to get louder with each passing lick. Looking around, Mac could see that they were excited as well for they both had trails of mare juice running down their thighs.

Finally he could take it no longer as he came into the originals mouth. He could clearly see her cheeks puff as they filled with his seed, some of it eventually spilling out. He watched as she swallowed some of it while wondering why she didn’t drink it all at once. He soon would get his answer. The original’s hands gently grasped the sides of the clones head, moving it up so that they could lock lips. From there, Mac watched with his jaw hanging open, his cock hardening at the same time, as the two swapped the cum from one to the other while their tongues explored each others mouths.

Eventually the two swallowed his seed before turning to give him a set of lusty expressions.

“That was just round one,” said the original.

“And we know you can cum much harder than that,” said the clone as she moved her body up a bit.

As this was happening, Applejack was determined not to lose. Still jerking Harvest off she moved her lower body around so that her rear was right in his face. Looking up, he could see her juices glistening as well as her nice, tight asshole that looked like it was begging to be played with.

“Come on Sugarcube,” said Applejack as she shaked her rear slightly. “Mah pussy an asshole are just beggin’ ta be played with. Ah know how much ya wanna lick mah naughty folds an’ the like. Show me what a stallion like ya can do to a naughty mare like me!”

Harvest smirked as he took hold of her firm plot with both hands and slowly moved his mouth closer towards her two holes. He then started to give her pussy, long, teasing licks, tasting her fluids as he did so and causing Applejack to moan with in her country accent. For a moment she stopped stroking and sucking on his cock to regained her composure. Harvest could still hear her breathing heavily which made him all the more excited.

Deciding to up things a bit, Harvest brought one of his fingers towards her plot hole and began to tease it. He started slowly, lightly circling it to pleasure her. Her groaning with his cock in her mouth told him that she was enjoying this so Harvest decided to take it to the next level. Being as gentle as he could, he began to push his finger against her tight hole until it was all the way in. once that was down Harvest began to pump it in and out while at the same time continuing his oral assault on her pussy.

“F-fuck,” cried out Applejack from the front and back door action she was getting. Her eye then bulged slightly as Harvest added another finger to her ass. Taking a deep breath to keep herself under control, Applejack redoubled her own efforts as she latched her mouth onto his cock once more.

While Harvest’s efforts were intense, Applejack’s words as well; the length of time she had been working on him brought him to the brink of orgasm first. He could feel the pleasure building more and more thanks to her skillful mouth. But then, just as he was about to let her know about what was going to be happening soon, she stopped and moved her rear away from his face.

“Oh, ah’m not gonna let ya cum just yet,” said Applejack once she was facing him while standing on her knees. “But don’t worry Sugarcube, ah’ll be lettin’ ya cum real soon. But ah ain’t gonna let ya cum just anywhere. Ah want ya ta mark mah insides once more with that hot white seed ya carry.”

With that said, Applejack straddled him just above his waist. As she did this, she reached behind her to undo her braided mane. It took a moment, but when it was done she shook her head back and forth to allow her mane spill over her back and shoulders. Harvest could not hide his surprise for he had yet to see Applejack like this. Truth be told he thought her braided mane looked sexier; like a wild animal in heat.

Applejack then moved back a bit while also lifting up her body so that it was slightly above Harvest’s member. Harvest watched in growing anticipation as she reached between her legs to grab his member to guide it into her waiting plot. Both of them groaned in ecstacy as they harvest slowly buried himself inside Applejack’s depths, the farm mare almost failing to control her slow descent. Then, once he was all the way in, Applejack’s hands moved towards her pussy and spread her lower lips to expose her soaking wet folds.

“See this Sugarcube?” asked Applejack in her husky voice. “See how wet ya make me? See how badly ah want ya ta cum inside mah rear? Well ah’m gonna get every drop, ya hear? Ah’m gonna ride ya till ya blow your load inside me. An ah want every. Single. Drop.”

With that said, Applejack tightened her ass muscles around his member before beginning to ride him like she would a bull at the rodeo.

Meanwhile, Mac and the two Luna’s were also in the middle of some heated action. While the original playfully licked Mac’s cock the clone moved her body up closer to his head. Once there, she got on her knees and straddled his face. Mac didn’t start eating her out right away, but took a moment to inhale her scent and take in the beauty of the sight right in front of him. Drips of arousal fell onto his face and he could see her clit poking out. It was all there for him to do what he pleased.

For a moment, he looked up at the clone’s second hole and thought about trying anal with Luna. It was a tempting thought, one that had popped up several times over the course of the week. But he knew that he was bigger and thicker than most stallions and if he tried now he was afraid it would hurt the mare he cared about. Sure this was a clone, but he knew that the memory of the pain would be transferred back to the original. Besides, if Luna ever wanted to try it in the future they could spend time making sure she was ready and get the best lube possible to help them out.

Once his eyes moved back towards Luna’s winking pussy, Mac opened his mouth and began to eat her out. It started with long, slow licks that went into her depths while avoiding her clit. With each lick he savored the taste that Luna’s body provided as if it were the nectar of the gods. Or goddesses in this case. Soon he began to speed up his actions, causing the Luna on top of him to thrash back and forth.

Seeing this, the real Luna smiled as she got up. Looking down at her own body for a moment she saw that it was covered in sand that was darker in some spots. Her eyes glowed and a moment later the sand was flung off her body so that it wouldn’t bother her nor the stallion she had given her heart to.

Now clean, she moved to insert his cock into her wanting pussy, mewing in pleasure as she did. For a moment she paused as she took in the feeling of being full. She closed her eyes as visions of Mac’s penis shooting his load into her filled her head making her wetter and wetter.

“Oh Luna,” she heard Mac cry out before beneath her clone, his voice filled with passion. This was all that she needed to begin. It started out with several small bounces, moaning with each one. Each one became bigger and she began to move faster, becoming wilder in her actions. She soon began to move her hips as well, Big Mac’s cock rubbing all around inside her as she did this. It was clear that she was giving this everything she had. Not just because she was in a competition with AJ, but because this would most likely be the last time they could go all out for a while. Thus she wanted to experience it to the fullest.

By this point, Luna’s voice was loud enough for anypony on the beach to hear. She cried out for Mac along with various one word phrases like “Fuck!” every once in a while. Had this been a normal beach she was sure that the noise she was making would have attracted a crowd. And if she had, Luna wouldn’t have cared. The only thing that would have stopped her was if somepony else had tried to join in. if that had happened she would have used her magic to banish him or her to the moon. She had given herself to one stallion and only he could have her now.

Below, Big Mac wished he could see what was happening. He longed to see Luna’s breasts bounce as she rode him, sweat glistening off her body as she did so. To see her erect nipples that would beg for him to be sucked on. His imagination then began to run away with him. He thought of the two Luna’s making out while on top of him. He thought of them caressing the others body, playing with the others boobs while the real one rode him.

Soon these thoughts and the pleasure he was getting from Luna’s actions proved to be too much. As he felt his ball sack tighten he locked lips around the clone’s clit and began to suck on it, causing her to cry out as she orgasmed all over his face. As she came, the clone fell forward onto the original. As his face became covered in mare juice he too came, shooting all of his load into Luna’s depths and filling her completely. As for the original, she cried out as she felt the warmth of Mac’s load spread inside her while at the same time her mane surrounded the clone and became one again. Once this happened, the memories of what Mac did to her hit the original as she came, clamping down hard on his cock before falling forwards onto his chest.

As the two embraced each other, Luna looked over to see Applejack still riding Harvest cowgirl style. Applejack was pinching and twisting her nipples in an erotic display for the stallion beneath her as she continued to speak in a low, sexy voice.

“Ya like that don’t ya?” she asked. “Ya like fucking mah dirty ass. Ya want ta blow that load into mah tight plot? Go ahead! Fill me ta the brink. Mark mah insides with that seed ya carry. Fill me with so much that it’ll be drippin’ on out of me for a week. Don’t ya want that Sugarcube? Ah think ya do. Ah think ya want ta-”

Whatever Applejack was about to say was silenced as Harvest smacked her ass, causing her to howl out in delight and her plot hole to tighten even more. This was too much for Harvest to take as he came right there. Load after load shot into Applejack didn’t know how to take this sensation. She just looked up into the sky with her mouth hanging open in a silent scream until she fell forward onto Harvest’s chest while he continued to cum inside of her. When he was finally done, Applejack looked over at him and saw that he had passed out from exhaustion.

“Yah did good partner,” whispered Applejack as she kissed him on the cheek.

“We’re here!” cried out Apple Bloom as she and Luna walked into the kitchen. Outside, the moon was bright in the sky.

“Welcome back Sugarcube,” said Applejack as she walked into the kitchen dressed in her green bikini once more. “Did ya have fun?”

“Lots,” said an excited Apple Bloom as Luna walked towards the stairs so that she could give the two sisters some time alone.

Luna walked up to the second floor and headed to her room where the original and Big Mac were waiting on the bed. Once she entered the room she closed the door behind her and gave them both a big smile as the original walked towards her. Once they were close enough Luna’s mane wrapped around the clone and consumed her before returning to its original shape. But once that was done, Luna began to cry.

“Luna, what’s wrong?” asked a worried Big Mac. When Luna turned around to look at him, he was surprised to see her smiling.

“Apple Bloom said she would like to have me as a big sister,” said Luna as she rushed over to embrace Big Mac.

The next day the five ponies found themselves on the royal airship once more, dressed in their normal clothing. Harvest, who was sitting next to Applejack, had donned on the Night Guard uniform while Luna, sitting next to Big Mac, was dressed in a long, flowing black dress. By the look on her face they could tell that she was very uncomfortable in it. Heck, they were all feeling overdressed after wearing nothing but swimwear for the past week.

“Does this mean that ya’ll are dating?” asked an excited Apple Bloom, who noticed how close everypony was sitting next to each other. Instead of answering, Luna smiled and kissed Big Mac on the lips. Before Applejack could say anything, Apple Bloom jumped out of her seat.

“This is amazing!” she cried out. “Ah might get another sister and brother!”

“Calm down,” said Applejack as she rolled her eyes. “Things might get a little complicated with Luna livin’ in Canterlot.”

“Oh, that won’t be a problem,” replied Luna. “I’m moving.” After she said this, the room became so quiet that a pony could hear a pin drop. They all stared at her, shocked by this revelation.

“Luna, does that mean that ya plan on moving in with us?” asked Big Mac. While he would love that, he wasn’t sure Granny Smith would be ok with it.

Luna shook her head. “No, not yet at least,” she said. “I plan on finishing what Applejack and her friends started when they were fixing up the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters and turning it into a military academy.” She then looked over at Harvest. “And I think I know who to pick as one of the new instructors.”

“That’s…wow,” said Big Mac. “A military academy in the Everfree Forest. Sounds like it’ll be mighty important.”

“Sure does,” agreed Applejack. “Just wonderin’ why Princess Celestia never thought of somethin’ like that.”

“Because she doesn’t think we need one,” replied Luna with a sigh. “Nor does she agree with my decision to move out.”

“But why not?” asked Apple Bloom.

“Well,” began Luna. “It started after the Changeling Invasion. I began to notice that many of the Guards weren’t…motivated to doing extra practice or drills. Sadly, they seem to be falling more and more out of shape with each passing month. In fact, when I did an inspection during my sister’s shift, they seemed to care more about going to a school bake sale than training. It was rather pitiful. So, I began pitching the idea of a military school to train the next generation of Royal Guards to various nobles as well as an overall refocusing of our existing Guard.

“It seems that I’m not alone with my worries as many of the nobles agreed with me and shared their own worries. Right now the only reason the nobility can sleep safely is thanks to my Night Guard, who have to keep in shape in order to fight monsters on a nightly basis. The only pony who isn’t worried is my sister who believes that as long as we have Applejack and her friends we will be safe.”

Applejack’s mouth hung open. “Ya mean she’s puttin’ all her apples in a single basket an’ hopin’ for the best?! That’s crazy talk!”

“My thought’s exactly,” replied Luna. “Equestria can not afford to rely on six mares to save the day every time trouble rears its head. What if something were ever to happen to one or more of you? What should happen if one of you were away, having your own life, and we were suddenly attacked? Or what if there were multiple crisis all over Equestria? We need to be prepared!

“Then there is the matter that, despite it being public knowledge who the Element bearers are, there has been no added security to Ponyville. Twilight still hasn’t picked her own Guard nor has Celestia added troops. And considering all the problems that seem to spring up around this town, a little extra security is long overdue.”

“But why are you moving out?” asked Harvest. “Can’t you run it from Canterlot?”

“I could,” replied Luna. “But things between me and Celestia are… complicated right now. I have been thinking about moving out for a while now mainly because I feel, to be honest, useless in Canterlot. Celestia makes all the decisions and when there’s a problem she gets Twilight to fix it. I understand that I normally sleep during the day and that she won’t always have time to wake me up for various problems, but I do wish she would at least consult with me on a few problems. Plus I never really liked Canterlot all that much to begin with.”

“Wow,” said Apple Bloom.

For a moment, nopony said anything as they let the revelation of Luna’s words sink in. After a while they began to talk about other things. Wanting to know more about the academy, if the Apple family wouldn’t mind helping with a few things, and so on as the island grew further and further away.

Author's Note

Managed to fix all the parts that were missing when I last uploaded the story. I just hope I got it all. Weird, I can't seem to figure out why random parts of the story didn't load.

My idea for Celestia in this story comes from the comics. Mainly from the Relections story line and the Celestia/Spike Friends Forever Story. From those, I get the idea that Celestia used to believe that anypony can solve their own problem and thus believed that Luna could get herself out of her darker mindset without her help. When she was proven wrong I think she realized that there comes a time when she has to step in and help like seen when she helped Spike out of the volcanoe.

One more chapter to go
