Story Theme - The Promised Call
Chapter One: The Accident
Princess Luna charged the spell with all of her might. She had to have this special item from Earth in order to complete her wishes and grant not only herself, but others, eternal happiness.
The portal opened, and a young boy about the age of 20 came rolling out and fell into the river.
Damn. This wasn't supposed to happen.
* * *
I opened my eyes and gasped for air, only to be greeted by a mouthful of water and a blurred vision as I slowly descended deeper into the lake of The Ever Free Forest.
I began to scream out for help, and claw at the reflection of the bright moon upon the water.
The more I screamed out into the darkness of the water, the more I felt myself run out of air and begin to give away to drowning.
* * *
I woke up and gasped for air. My entire body was soaked and I coughed up water onto the ground.
I groaned and rolled over.
What the hell was going on? Where am I?
My eyes adjusted to the darkness to see a young looking alicorn mare looking over my body, obviously worried about my current state.
“What... what's going on?” I sputtered.
“A-are you okay...?” Luna asked me.
I was in Equestria.
“How did... how did I get here?” I asked.
“I'll explain when we get to the castle and you're not freezing to death. Come on.” Luna opened one of her wings, a warm welcoming smile on her face.
"I don't... understand... This place isn't real..." I sputtered.
"Your reaction was the same as mine when I figured out you knew all about us?"
"W-What?" I asked weakly.
Luna shook her head, "I'll explain when we get to the castle. Now stand under my wing, I will keep you warm."
I walked over to her weakly and felt my body suddenly become warm as Luna wrapped her wing around my body and held me close to her.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention Princess Luna was my favorite pony. I liked to call her “My Favorite”.
I was shaking furiously for a few minutes, but eventually calmed down and Luna transported us to the castle.
* * *
Princess Celestia walked around me. Studying my every feature from the top of my head, to the bottom of my damp shoes.
“I warned you about transporting certain objects from other planets here, sister.” Celestia said.
Luna's head hung down towards the ground. “I guess we should send him back, then.”
Celestia looked over at Princess Luna. “Correct. But you are going to be the one to do it. Transportation spells use the moon's energy, so you will be the one to do it.”
Luna nodded her head. She motioned for me to follow her.
We walked down the seemingly endless hallways down to Luna's bedroom. She opened the door.
“You'll be staying here until I can send you back.”
I sighed. “You still haven't given me an explanation to why, or how I got here.”
Luna handed me a large towel, which I began to dry myself off.
“I was trying to use a spell to bring a specific item from Earth. I don't know what it's called, but I do know what it looks like. I guess I made a mistake and you ended up coming here instead.”
I nodded slowly, trying to understand while attempting to get some stubborn water out out my ear.
“How long do you think I'll be here for?” I asked.
Luna began shuffling through a large selection of books from a nearby bookshelf, “I'm not sure. But the faster I find a book, the faster you'll be sent home.”
I nodded slowly, “Okay. I understand.”
I checked the clock which rested on Luna's nightstand. It was getting late.
I yawned quietly and looked around for a place to sleep.
Luna noticed me gazing around, You can have the pull-out bed from the couch here. Besides my bed.”
She pointed her nose towards a large, comfortable looking couch that rested at the end of her bed.
“Just hit the switch on the left side. The bed will pop out soon after.” Luna said. She pulled out a book and rested it on a nearby stand. Her horn began to glow and the book was engulfed in a dark blue aura and the pages began to turn as she began to look for a way to send me back home.
This shouldn't be too bad, I thought as I pulled the switch and the pull-out bed sprung out from the couch.
Luna looked over to me again. “I'll go get the guards to bring you a pillow and some sheets.”
I waved my hand, “Yeah, sure. No problem.”
A few minutes later, a guard walked in with a large sack.
“Here you go. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Canterlot Castle.”
I opened the bag to reveal a large, puffy, pillow, with two blankets.
“Thank you. You are excused for the rest of the night.” Luna said.
“You're welcome, your majesty, and thank you.” The guard said before trotting off to enjoy the rest of the night.
I yawned again and began to set up my bed.
When I finished, I took notice of my irritated body as my damp clothes plastered themselves to my body.
“Uh... Princess Luna...?”
Luna faced me and smiled, “You can just call me, Luna.”
I blushed a little, “Uh... yeah... Luna... do you mind if I could have some clothes fashioned to fit my body?”
Luna nodded, “Why yes. I will alert the royal tailor and let him know to fashion some clothes.”
I smiled weakly, “Thanks... but I might need to... take off my current ones or else I won't be able to sleep.”
Luna blushed, “Oh... yes... no problem.”
“No! No! I won't be going naked! Just down to boxers.”
“I see. Carry on.”
I raised my hand as I got an idea. “But... could you use a spell or something to dry me off?”
Luna nodded, “Sure.”
My body suddenly felt warm and fuzzy as my clothes suddenly dried.
I felt my shirt and my jeans. Perfectly dry!
“Thanks, Luna!” I said happily as I stripped down to boxers and jumped into bed. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
“Good night.” I heard Luna say quietly.
I smiled, “'Night.”
Maybe it won't be so bad here after all...
I couldn't help myself but just release the second chapter for two reasons:
Many people have favorited this story, and I wanted to thank them and show how much it means to me by releasing the second chapter a day early.
It's a short chapter, anyway.
Chapter Two
I was falling deeper and deeper into the darkness of the welcoming embrace of death.
I woke up with a start, gasping for air and covered in sweat. I looked around me to see I was still in Equestria.
Everything is fine, I told myself. I got out of bed and began to dress myself. When I finished, I took one last glance towards my makeshift bed. Above it lay Luna, sleeping soundly under the covers.
I smiled, knowing at least I was staying with my favorite pony.
I closed the door quietly behind me, and made my way around the castle. Think of it as a way to get the nightmare off of my mind.
I eventually reached a long hallway. I grabbed one of the lit nearby torch and made my way down the dark hallway. The castle creaked eerily as I made my way down.
I saw a faint shadow. It was a guard. Relaxing, I made sure I stayed a safe distance. He turned a corner, and I ran straight ahead to a large balcony. I separated the large stained glass doors and was greeted by a gust of cold wind. My torch went out and the only light was that from the full moon above me.
I threw the torch to the ground and went over to the edge of the balcony, resting my arms on the large stone barrier.
I heard foot steps behind me, and hid behind a large potted plant.
I saw Princess Luna emerge from the darkness. I poked my head out a bit more.
She turned her head towards me, but I quickly swung my head back towards plant.
“I know you're there. I heard you wake.”
I stayed there, behind the potted plant, waiting for Luna to make an incorrect assumption and leave. But she didn't, of course.
I removed myself from behind the plant, revealing myself.
“You don't have to hide yourself from me, you know.” Luna said.
I put my hand around my neck, “I just... had a nightmare. That's all.”
“What was it about?” Luna asked,
I sighed and rubbed my eyes, “I was drowning...”
Princess Luna walked up to me. She was the size of a fully grown mare, slightly bigger.
“Touch my mane. It will make you feel better.”
I looked at Luna slightly surprised, and slowly reached out my hand. My fingers made contact with Luna's mane. I instinctivly pulled back, her mane felt soft and cold like the night sky.
My hand made it's away towards Luna's mane. This time I summoned all my courage and felt it. A massive sense of relief flowed through my body, from my head to my toes.
“Feel better now?”
I nodded, smiling, “Yes... thank you.”
I still held onto the princess's mane. I felt a sudden urge and I threw myself onto Luna, ambushing her with a massive hug.
“Thank you, princess.” I said.
Luna wrapped her wings around me reassuringly, “Don't worry. We'll get you home... somehow.”
I smiled. Together me and the princess returned to her room. I settled down back into bed and stared at the ceiling. Memories of staying with my grandparents during Summer Break flowed through my head. I would always look up at the ceiling whenever I wasn't falling asleep at home... it was... odd.
But it made me feel better, somehow.
A Session With The Princess
Chapter Three
My eyes flashed open to see the same ceiling I stared at before falling asleep.
I'm still here, I thought lazily. I realized I was still in my same clothes from last night, but didn't care too much. I wasn't too hygenic.
I faced Luna's bed to see her sound asleep under the covers. Great... now my only guide through this castle was asleep for who knows how long?!
I plopped back down into my bed with a sigh, and dozed off again.
When I awoke, Luna was mumbling some incantations lightly before a large music stand like thing.
“Good morning,” Luna greeted me with a smile.
“Hey,” I said, waving back at her.
“I'm just working on some transportation spells to see if I could send you back home anytime soon. This is truly urgent, we don't want The Balance becoming angry...”
I shook my head slightly, “The Balance? Is there something I missed or...?”
Luna faced me, “Oh, yes. The Balance is sort of... how do I explain this...?”
I chuckled. “I'm guessing he keeps balance?”
Luna pointed her hoof at me, smiling. “Yes, he does do that. But if The Balance ever finds out something other than a pony, griffon, dragon, or anything else that hasn't existed in this world, and The Balance didn't know about it... well...”
I gestured my hands in a forward motion. “Well...?”
“The Balance would resort to destroying the two separate universes the two beings came from... you being from Earth, and being a human. Not a pony or anything else. That reminds me, what is your name?”
“Oh, yes... my name is Ryan.”
Luna cocked her head to the side, “Ryan... that is a strange name...”
I suddenly remembered The Balance. “Wait what?!”
I held me head. “If The Balance ever finds out that I came to this world by accident... he would destroy this universe... and the one I lived in before all of this?!”
Luna nodded. “Yes... sadly...”
“Can't he like... transport me back home or something?!”
“There are two things wrong with that assumption... one, The Balance moves from universe to universe, checking on everything it's created and if needed, destroying all of his work. Second, even if he does show up here... his job is to keep balance... not to transport. Even if he decides to, his transportation magic would be weaker than an unborn earth foal.”
I face-palmed, “That's... great... now I'm guessing we all have no idea when he'll show up, huh?”
“That is the case, Ryan.”
I groaned. “Might as well get some grub... can you show me the dining hall?”
Luna nodded, “Of course.”
Luna closed her book and we both exited through the door and walked down the long hallway.
In a few minutes we reached the dining hall, Luna checked the large clock that was hung up in the front of the room.
“Great timing. Breakfast is just beginning, we just arrived a few minutes early.”
At that moment, a sea of guards walked through the doors calmly. Luna motioned for me to follow her, and I took a seat next to Luna. Princess Celestia walked in after a few seconds through a different door, and sat next to me.
Now I'm surrounded by the two princesses... I really hope Celestia has already let every single guard know I'm here... I thought.
Large amounts of food appeared on the table, but everyone was staring... at me.
I felt like a tiny bug, and tried to retreat into my shirt like a turtle and his shell.
“I see you're all wondering about our... strange guest.” Celestia said.
She stood up, aw shit...
“This is a human. This boy is from a different world known as Earth. Princess Luna was trying to get another type of thing from Earth but messed up, and brought this human here instead.”
Princess Celestia neared her head towards me, “Um... what is your name?”
My eyes bulged, “Uh... my name is Ryan.”
Celestia nodded and faced the crowd again, “You shall address this human as Ryan and treat him well if he needs anything.”
“Thank you, your highness.” I said.
Celestia looked down at me and smiled, “I just want to make sure you're comfortable.”
“I appreciate that.”
Celestia gazed over the table before opening her mouth to speak, “Let's eat!”
I gazed over the food. Nothing but fresh looking fruit, salads, and sandwiches. Pretty odd for a breakfast but hey, I wasn't complaning.
After finishing up my breakfast, I noticed that Princess Luna was studying me.
“Need anything, princess?” I asked.
Luna shook her head, “Oh, no. I'm fine. It's just that I've never really seen a creature like you before...”
I scratched my head nervously. “You ever seen a monkey?”
Luna turned her head curiously. I will admit she did look adorable. “No...”
I chuckled, “I'll tell you when we're excused.”
Luna turned to her older sister and whispered something into her ear. Celestia nodded shortly after.
“Follow me and you can tell me all about your planet.”
I nodded happily, a private session with my favorite pony! How awesome is that!
Me and the princess left towards her room. She shut the door behind her and motioned towards the couch. We sat together.
Luna stared at me with her large blue eyes, I felt myself blush as she continued to stare at me.
“So uh... let's begin...”
I told her everything I knew about Earth. Its myths, facts, religions, plants, animals, houses, everything I knew.
Luna continued to stare at me with her unblinking eyes.
“-and that's everything I know about Earth.” I said at last.
Luna nodded, “Wow... but I don't understand? You don't have pegasus?”
I shook my head. “Nope.”
“Then who controls the weather?”
“It's part of nature. Nature's nickname is Mother Nature. Her job is to keep all the wildlife and plants alive. Her husband is Father Time. He controls the movement of time, how slow things are according to the Grand Clock.”
“So they're like gods?”
“Not really... unlike this universe, we're not sure if there really is a God or not.”
Luna looked down, “Interesting.”
I looked at the clock. It took me two hours to explain everything!
2 Months Later...
I began to feel my sanity slowly drop after the first two months. I began to turn urgent, my situation became dire.
My face was all over the newspapers all around Equestria. LOCAL CREATURE: DESPERATE TO GO HOME. Is what most of them said.
I became an unwanted celebrity. Everywhere I went, ponies snapped photos as I tried to cover my face. Soon I had to be escorted everywhere by guards.
But my feelings towards Luna only became stronger. Causing me to make some foolish mistakes.
One of them putting my universe, and this one in danger.
It All Comes Crashing Down
It all happens for a reason.
Chapter Four
Like I said. Some of my actions put Luna herself in danger. One mistake putting the entire universe in danger...
But this one mistaken sent my life downhill.
I did something I shouldn't have done. An action I still regret doing to this day.
Some of you have dreamed about such an action.
But when a great mystical being who could stumble upon you at anytime and destroy everything? That changes a few things.
One of those things could be your situation. Only making it worse...
Much, much worse.
* * *
I closed the door slowly behind me. I had begun to lose sleep as the thought of The Balance gave me terrible nightmares that could only be put away if I slept with Luna in her bed.
Even that made me feel weird.
But one night that all changed.
* * *
3 Months Later...
I woke up, screaming.
I was quickly silenced as Luna wrapped her arms around me, sobbing. Tears flowed from her eyes as well.
“I put you through all of this! I'm so sorry!” Luna sobbed onto my shoulder.
I ran my hands through her mane, suddenly calming down, “I-It's fine...”
I held Luna close to me as I joined her in bed.
I got an idea...
I snuggled myself close to Luna. She made some sort of purring sound as her wings folded against us. Only putting us closer together.
I reached out my hand, and grabbed another human hand.
I jumped back to see a girl, about the same age as me laying beside me. She smiled.
“Luna?” I asked.
Luna got out of bed. She was beautiful... long dark black hair, bright blue eyes and nothing but a black bra and dark blue pajama bottoms with stars scattered across. Very fitting.
Her body was sleek and very attractive.
If I was a pegasus, let me just say I got a massive wing boner.
“I just thought this would be a little bit more... fitting.” Luna said sheepishly, blushing dark red.
“D-Don't worry about it... Princess... I...-”
Luna neared herself towards me and put her finger on my lips, “Shh...”
I sat there with my mouth gaping open.
Here I was in Equestria, in bed with my favorite pony.
Luna gently pushed me down onto the bed. I felt Luna wrap her arms around me and put her head against my chest.
Still laying down with my eyes open, I smiled to myself.
I began to rub Luna's back with my hand before I finally decided to close my eyes and fall asleep.
The Next Morning...
I woke up to see Luna, still in her human form, laying next to me.
I suddenly felt the pressure of my situation claw it's way into my skull.
Then it all came pouring in...
the depression and anxiety of my family when they noticed me missing... my entire life ahead of me hitting a massive bump, pieces spraying everywhere, never to be cleaned up...
I felt my throat tighten at the thought and released myself from Luna and got back into some custom made cloths that Rarity had made me.
I heard sheets rustling and Luna had gotten out of bed and walked towards me. I was washing my face in the bathroom.
Luna wrapped her arms around me and hugged my tightly.
At least I won't be alone, I thought.
“Do we... have something?” Luna suddenly said.
My brony side kicked in, “Of course.”
I felt Luna raise herself from my back and walked next to me. She smiled, showing her pearly white teeth.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
My hair had been cut, so at least I had that.
I faced Luna, “I wonder what my family is up to.”
Luna held my hand in hers, “I'm not sure, Ryan. But I know they're looking for you and I know you will be home... soon.”
I put my hand up to my face in a tired gesture, “Yeah... I hope you're right.”
Chapter Five
2 Months Later...
I had lost it. Everything. I didn't care anymore...
The anxiety, the pressure, the constant worry!
I attacked one of the Royal Guards because I thought he was saying things behind my back...
I yelled at Princess Celestia...
I threw food around the table...
I couldn't sleep...
Later That Night...
Luna slowly grinded me. Her body slowly slid up and body my chest down to my stomach.
I smiled devishly as she teased me.
Then “that action” happened.
I knew that I shouldn't have done it, but I did. I couldn't help myself but I did...
I grabbed both of Luna's arms and threw her towards me. She landed on top of me, blushing dark red.
“You ready?” I asked.
Luna caught me off guard, planting a massive kiss on my mouth.
“What do you think?” She asked.
We stripped down naked and flew into bed.
I had... “fun” that night.
But only if the consequences were worth it...
I woke up with a start. I realized Luna was on top of me. Completely naked.
Oh shit!
I gently pushed her off of me, and got dressed.
What the hell have I done?! I just banged Princess Luna!!
Well that's one thing to check off of my bucket list, at least.
I heard whimpering and turned to see Princess Luna waking up slowly. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me, suddenly turning red.
“Oh my...”
“You can say that again,” I said sheepishly.
Luna got dressed, transformed back into her regular pony form and we made our way downstairs.
We were stopped by one of the royal guards. Well this one looked different, at least.
He was white with a streaked blue and sky blue mane. He was handsome to say the least.
“If it isn't Shining Armor. Is it nice to see you again.”
“You as well, Princess Luna. You must be the strange one everypony has been talking about?”
I nodded, “Yes, I am.”
Luna suddenly spoke up, “How is Princess Cadanza?”
Shining Armor laughed, “She's great! It's just that I'm nervous about how Twily is going to react to this. With this sort of situation going on, lots of ponies have been knocking on the castle doors. But don't worry, we've been keeping them back and are enforcing the privacy rule. I've had my hooves full!”
I looked down, suddenly feeling bad, “I'm sorry...”
Shining Armor lifted my head with his hoof, “No need to be. I know Princess Luna has been working very hard to find a way to send you back home.”
The night before suddenly hit me.
“Uh... yeah.”
A Few Weeks Later...
“Ryan!” Luna came running towards me in her human form. Odd, I thought.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I need to tell you something very important, now.”
“What is it?!” I began to get frustrated.
Luna took a deep breath and looked at me with tears in her bright blue eyes.
“I'm pregnant... With your child.”
I suddenly fell back, grasping onto anything nearby.
“W-What?!”
“It had to had been from that one night!” Luna gasped.
I shook my head, “Well this changes everything.”
Now I must make a decision... stay or go, I thought.
“What about The Balance?” I asked.
“That is your decision, not mine. You can stay, and risk having this universe destroyed or return to your own,” Luna said.
“Have you told Princess Celestia?”
“Yes... she is shocked but understands.”
I nodded slowly, “Okay... I just need... to think... alone..."
Luna nodded and I walked towards the balcony. It was late at night and the stars were gleaming.
“What should I do?” I whispered softly.
I heard nothing but the soft blow of the dark cold night air.
“WHAT SHOULD I DO?!” I roared, smashing my foot into one of the potted plants.
I turned around with fury in my eyes to see Celestia standing there with a worried look on her face.
“Take your anger out, Ryan.”
“Take my anger out?! On what?! THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT!”
Something happened that night. I snapped.
“FORGET THIS! SCREW IT ALL! I can't take it anymore! The worry, the anxiety, and now this-”
My voice suddenly changed. It became deeper, and more demonic like.
“Why don't you just kill me?!”
My voice went back to normal.
“Ryan, please. You must get some rest, I-”
“NO!” I yelled turning away from Celestia. I put my hands on my face and ran them through my hair.
“Why did I deserve this? It was all Luna's fault!”
I heard hoof steps as Celestia walked next to me, putting a hoof on my shoulder, “She feels as bad as you do, Ryan.”
I chuckled deeply, “I'm sure as hell she does...”
I turned my head to face Celestia, “What do I do?”
Celestia's face scrunched up in thought, “Stay or leave. That is what you must do.”
“What about the child?” I asked.
“That is something that cannot be controlled.” Celestia answered.
I sighed deeply, “Until that time comes what should we do?”
“Luna is stuck in her human form, but can still preform magic as if she never transformed at all.”
“I see. How much longer?” I asked.
“We're not sure, Ryan. But what we do know is that we're getting close. I must leave now. You can stay here if you wish.”
I turned to face Celestia, “Thank you, Princess.”
Celestia walked off, leaving me alone.
Will my child grow up in a world that was never meant to be seen my humans? Will The Balance destroy the universe after seeing the baby if I leave? Will he ever get to know his father, I thought.
“WHAT DO I DO?!” I yelled into the night sky.
Chapter Six
I returned to the bedroom, seeing Luna still in her human form. She stared instansly at the book before her, still trying to figure out a way to get me home.
"What would you do?" I asked.
Luna looked up to face me, "Hm?"
"What would you do if the same thing happened? But with you?"
"You mean if your kind transported me to their world?" Luna asked,
"Something like that, yes." I responded.
"I'm not sure what I would do, honestly."
I sighed, "Can you transport me over to Twilight Sparkle's house?"
Luna nodded, "Sure."
I was engulfed in a bright blue light, and appeared in front of Twilight Sparkle's house.
I knocked on the door several times, before it opened to reveal Twilight.
"Oh hey, Ryan. What brings you here?"
"I need some more help with universe transformation." I said.
"I guess I could expect you coming here for help on that. Spike, can you please show Ryan to the transportation section of the library?" She asked.
Spike ran up, "Sure thing, Twilight!"
Spike beckoned me to follow him until we reached a large bookshelf.
"Now here is a book about transporting-"
"I've got it!" I said, snapping my fingers. Suddenly realising something.
"What?"
"The Elements of Harmony!"
"What abo- Ooohh!"
"Aren't they supposed to be the most powerful items of magic in all of Equestria?"
Spike snapped her fingers, pointing at me. "You're right! Twilight! Ryan just thought of something!"
I held my head, chuckling to myself slightly, "Why didn't I think of this before?!"
* * *
"The Elements of Harmony?" Celestia said, rubbing her chin.
"You do have a good point, Ryan."
"But with great power, sometimes takes a great consequence... the Elements take many months to recharge."
"How many are we talking?" Luna asked nervously.
A few moments of silence passed before Celestia looked at me grimly and said, " At least ten months..."
* ~ *
After that... I fell into a deep depression. The only thing that could cheer me up was Luna's bright, smiling face. But everytime I looked at her... it only hurt me more than it helped me. I was trapped in a cycle of consequence. Nothing special happened until one particular night. The night before my entire life was blown into a spiral.
Before I became...
Dorchester
* ~ *
9 Months Later...
I stood over Luna as she lay in the hospital bed. I had lost it. Everything that had ever happened to me didn't matter anymore. I had lost every trace of emotion. I was nothing but a former husk of myself that I never wanted to be.
"I'm scared..." Luna whimpered.
I forced myself to smile weakly, holding Luna's hand in my own, "You'll be fine..."
"I hope so..." Luna said.
The Doctor pony walked in, "Since this is a... foreign species birth... I'm afraid the best I can do is just tend to the princess as best I can!"
I felt myself jolt and stared at the Doctor Pony with pure rage, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!"
Luna grabbed my face and kissed me deeply. I pulled myself away after a few moments of bliss. She smiled weakly. I reached out a shaking hand and stroked her head with my hand gently, "I love you Luna... you are My Favorite..."
"I love you to, Ryan..."
Suddenly she flinched. It was time for the birth.
"You know more about human births than I do, my friend."
I nodded, walking over to join the Doctor Pony, "Of course."
After a few minutes, it had begun time to push.
Princess Luna groaned loudly as the baby slowly made its way out.
"You're almost done, Luna..."
I looked over at the doctor pony, "You kidding? We're not even halfway done yet."
I faced back, my gloves and mask protecting me.
"You're doing great... deep breath, and push. Deep breath, and push. Keep that pattern going and this will be over soon eno-"
I passed out as an unbearable pain slammed into my head.
~ * ~
Think if you were in Ryans position. Wouldn't you lose it as well? Sure, you are Equestria and all. But when you know something much more powerful than you know could destroy you and your loved ones at any second? That takes away all of the fun.
Now time for a different question. What would you give to stay in Equestria with your favorite pony as your lover...
Forever?
I woke up strapped onto Princess Luna's bed. My vision was clouded, and my head hurt.
"Wha...? Luna? Doctor?"
"Oh... you're awake..." A voice said.
My eyes adjusted to the darkness to see Luna in her pony form. She held a small wrapped up towel in her hooves, smiling.
"Ha ha... very funny, Luna. Let me go..." I chuckled nervously.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Ryan."
"Huh? What do yo- AAH!"
I was suddenly hit with a blast of magic.
"What have you done?!" I yelled.
Luna walked over to me, my hand brushed up against... the baby! It was wrapped in a towel! But it vanished when I touched it...
"Smoke and mirriors, my love."
I felt my heart rate quicken.
"Now it's only a matter of time before the spell begins. So let's explain..."
Luna hit me with another blast of magic, and I was suddenly watching myself run through the forest near my house. I was panting, sweating, and looked like I could pass out. A large shadowy figure stood before me...
It was Princess Luna...
"WHAT?!" I roared.
Past Me was cornered by Princess Luna, who fired a spell at me, causing me to vanish. Princess Luna teleported soon after.
"I teleported you here into Equestria not by accident... but on purpose! And all that stuff about The Balance was a big lie. It was the only thing I could do to keep you from the truth, my love."
I looked down to see my feet turn into hooves... I was turning into a pony!
"The pregnancy... the entire scenario was one big lie, you see. I've been watching you for some time now, Ryan. You fit all the slots... but I'm afraid this is the end of your time. And the beginning of your new self! After the transformation, you won't remember anything from your human years."
I could feel my memories being erased, and new fake ones coming in. Fake memories of being with Princess Luna... as her mate...
"You're... insane! You crazy bitch! When Celestia finds out..."
Luna roared with laughter, "Celestia won't know a damn thing! I'll just erase her memory of all of this... and do the same as I am doing to you. Fake memories! I've done it so many times before, why should I be worried now? Everypony who heard about you will then 'know' you had been returned home, and everything is all peachy! It's a win, win for me! But sadly... a win, lose for you... seeing as though you won't be able to remember any of this. You never will..."
Tears began to flow from Princess Luna's eyes. She felt remorse... maybe I could talk to her!
"Please, Luna... if you really loved me this much you would let me go and I could talk to Princess Celestia about this!" I pleaded.
Luna smirked, her tears suddenly stopped. Her eyes had become horribly bloodshot, "Oh but now that you know... I can't risk another thousand years on the moon, now can I?"
"Please! Just let me go! You've risked everything! What about The Balance?!"
"The Balance is an idiot who does nothing more than destroy when things aren't what they're supposed to be. Corrupted Light, on the other hand, takes care of the rest."
Luna held her head with her hoof, looking as if she was in deep pain.
"I know, I know!" She hissed.
The entire bottom half of my body was now a gray pony with a half red, half white tail. I knew it was no use trying to reason with her now... but I had to know one thing last thing.
"But... why...?" I asked.
Luna released her head and smiled down at me sweetly, "Oh that's easy, my love... you see... you are... in your words..."
I began to tug and pull at the straps as hard as I could, yelling for help, still transforming. I clawed at every last human memory I had, hoping that Luna's spell would run out. But it didn't.
"You are... My Favorite..."
Luna planted one last kiss on my mouth.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Epilouge...
Dorchester stood in front of Luna. He was now a handsom younge Stallion which every mare would kill for. But he was Princess Luna's. Her plan had worked exactly as she planned it to be. Celestia knew nothing, and everyone who knew about Ryan now believed he was returned home. When actually is was really the opposite.
"You look dashing, my love." Luna said as she flicked Dorchester's nose. He blushed.
"You look amazing as well, my dear..." Dorchester kissed Luna deeply and they walked towards their room for another "session".
