"Fuck!" I shout as I shot up from my bed as my eyes opened. The feeling of sweat covering my body and heavy breathing was from the replay of the Tsunami trying to smash my head. My knuckles were white from gripping the blanket. I let go as my hands were lightly shaking. I fell back, landing my head on the pillow. I took some time to collect my thoughts. I'm no longer on Earth, my family has passed on, I've moved on thanks to Luna, and I'm in Equestria.

With that out of the way, I noticed my feet were hanging off the edge of the bed. Looking it over, I stretched my body and my head hits the baseboard. I groaned through my mouth and stretched my body again without hitting my head. I turn to the side and sat up, but when I tried to get up, however, I suddenly felt taller. This made me disoriented for a bit as I tried to find balance. When I found my balance, I walked to the bathroom to see a brown Unicorn wearing a maid outfit.

'I didn't want a maid...' I thought as I yawned, 'But I have to respect the Princess's rules... I hope she didn't hear what I shouted...'

"Good morning sir, I am Aloe Fern, I'll be guiding you to our bathing area." The maid asked with a smile.

"Awesome, let me get a change of clothing if you don't mind waiting," I informed her.

Aloe gave me a nod, "Of course Sir Trey."

That name made me shiver, "Um... Just Trey, please?"

She immediately caught on what I was implying, "Oh, sorry. Of course, Trey."

Nodding, I went to the dresser, pulled out a change of clothing and draped it on my left forearm. Without a word, Aloe led me to out of my room and down the hall towards the bathing area. Due to how grand and big the castle is, I would have never known the bathing area was just a few doors down from my room.

I noticed the sign on the entrance and I believe my gulp was loud enough for Aloe's ear to swivel towards me. 'Unisex Bathing House' it says.

"Is everything alright?" The brown Unicorn asked.

I shook my head, "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, but I have to ask if anypony else is inside?"

"If you're wondering about who's currently inside, nopony has been in since Twilight and her friends this morning. They had to get back to Ponyville as soon as possible to get back to their daily lives, much to Twilight's dismay." Aloe informed as I sighed with relief, "You have a problem with sharing a bath with other ponies?" She asked as she leads me inside.

"You might say that, but it feels... Weird to me because I've never done this type of thing before." I explained.

"Well let me explain a few things to keep you informed about what to do then." She said as she pointed to her hoof to the shelf. "This is where you put your clothes, the bottom is for dirty laundry our maids clean, and the top is your clean clothes." Aloe Fern gestures to the sliding glass windows, "Past through these windows is two bathing areas. One cold, one hot, due to the foreigners that show up, we have to keep an open mind about who shows up as a guest. Directly to the left and right, once you walk out, is a line of washing stations where you would clean yourself before getting into the bathing area to relax and collect yourself. Get the gist of it?"

"Yeah, it's sort of similar to our world in a different foreign country, and I think I can manage. Are there any towels?" I wondered.

"Just on the shelf where you put your clean clothes and there is a hamper near the exit to put your towel in. Or you can keep it for your next visit, just hang it on your towel hanger in your half bath alright?"

"Thank you, Aloe Fern, I think I'll be good to go now."

"Until next time, Trey," Aloe said heading out of the changing room.

As soon as she left, I stripped out of my dirty clothes, put my clean clothing on the designated shelf and grabbed my towel to only wrap it around my lower torso. Sighing to get my composure, I pulled the glass door open and the steam from the bathing area washed over me. It felt like I was going to have a good time.

When I got to the washing station, which was towards the end, I grabbed the available soap and started to wash with some running warm water from the shower head. I was glad that I was the only one inside because if there were anypony else, I would have been a nervous wreck.

Once I finished washing and rinsing, I looked back to see where the stairs would be to get into the hot bath side. I got up, put my towel on, and went into the bath slowly. It wasn't scalding, but just hot enough to where I had to move slowly to get used to the temperature. One thing I noticed, however, was the cold side was separated by a wall to where I could reach my whole arm into that pool if I could.

"Oh, I didn't know you were here Trey." It was the sound of the Lunar Princess herself. I turned around to see Luna, with a bad case of bed head, with no regalia whatsoever.

I instinctively covered up my lower region subconsciously, getting a giggle from Luna, "You don't need to feel embarrassed Trey, this is a Unisex bathing area." She trots to her desired seat and sits down to start washing, "Though if you wanted to watch all you need is to ask."

Feeling the blood rushing to my head, I turn around and earned another giggle from her. "Something tells me your not used to this type of thing."

My breath was finally calming down when I was looking up at a window to see the morning light coming down into the bathing area, "Y-Yeah... It's my first time and not to be rude, but you're the last pony I was expecting to show. I thought another mare or stallion would show up to get used to it..." I twiddled my fingers as I see several sponges on the ledge and a soap dispenser. I grabbed it, sprayed and started to scrub my body for anything I missed.

"Is it now? I wonde-Gah!" I turned to Luna who has dropped the soap to the floor, from what I could tell, her horn was fizzing and her wings were spread in alarm.

"You alright Luna?" I asked as I made my way towards her.

She turned her head and gave me a small smile, "May I ask you a favor?"

I blinked, "Sure."

Luna was processing her thoughts and sighed, "Mind coming up and scrubbing a certain displeasing part of my body? Usually, I have my sister or servants to take care of it."

I gulped and nodded, "Understood..." Climbing out of the bath, I walk towards Luna, who's mane is not flowing, but wet and smoothes down her body. Making sure my towel was on tightly, I grab a seat from the stall to her right and sat down. "W-Where is it?"

"I'm not proud of it, but when I was facing Celestia as Nightmare Moon, Celestia struck me down with her magic before using the Elements as a last resort." She gestured for me to come closer and I did as she pointed to her hoof to the scar at her front. It wasn't visible if you were far away, but when close enough you can see the line and new fur.

"You want me to wash that?" I asked in a calm voice.

"Don't get me wrong, I know how odd this sounds, but when I try to wash it, my horn gets in a fizzle and my magic gets haywire all over the place. Even washing it with my hooves is a pain in the neck. So I have to have an outside source to wash it otherwise it will stay dirty and get infected."

"Hey..." I rest my arm on her shoulder, "I understand and I'll be happy to do so for you."

She nodded as she levitated the sudsy soap into my hand, I took a deep breath as I began to wash the outside edge of the scar.

This coaxed a little cute sigh from her, which encouraged me to press on. I did a quick scrub over the scar and Luna shivered under my touch. Then I began to wash it deeply with the soap and a small moan escaped from Luna's mouth. Blushing really deeply, I cleared my throat and continued a little more.

"Y-You feeling alright Luna?" I asked as I tried to control my sudden growth between my legs by closing them.

"It just feels very... Hah~ Weird to me when somepony washes there. Usually, I would hold myself from... Ooo~ Letting out any noises but it's just us."

I felt very happy when she said that, it means she has a little trust in me, even though I was here for a couple of days. Once I finished scrubbing I grabbed the shower head and washed the suds on her body. Looking up, our eyes met, it was a moment that I really couldn't describe. My heart was racing when I looking into her beautiful eyes, I felt my hand feeling touched by her hoof as I saw her smile.

"Thank you, Trey, would you like to join me in the bath together?" She asked.

I think my heart just melted. "S-Sure... Let me just..." I get up and rush to the cold water side of the bathing area and plunged in. This allowed me to forget all of the erotic thoughts.

I surfaced, "Ahhh... Much better." Getting out of the cold water I saw Luna was getting into the hot side of the bathing area. I get beside her and tapped her back as I get into the refreshing warm water.

Feeling my blood flow turning back to normal, I sit on the underwater ledge. Luna sat down on the floor, her head and neck were on the surface while I assumed her magic was going around her body.

"I feel much better Trey, thank you." She said as she turned her head towards me, "May I ask why you jumped into the cold side?"

"Um... To clear my mind?" I said stretching the truth with a smile.

She seemed to hum at me suspiciously, but gave me a small knowing smirk, "Make all the excuses and I'll probably have to get it out of you."

I was silent, trying to think of what she meant until my stomach was surrounded by her blue aura. All of a sudden my belly was being tickled. I tried to hold in my laughs but it was inevitable, I laughed hard. "Hahahaha!!!! Stauoopp!!!" I pleaded.

"Not until you tell me why you jumped into the cold side!" She giggled playfully.

I didn't want to tell my embarrassing boner I had while washing her. With my feet, I walk towards Luna an I could tell the intense magic around my stomach was increasing. I was laughing when I was struggling to get to her. The tickling sensation was intense, but I had experienced worse tickling monsters in my days. Not thinking about my towel, I jump to Luna and land on the side of her barrel. She tried to use her wings to push me away, but with my fingers, I began to tickle her stomach under the water.

Hearing Luna squeal under my fingers relieved most of the concentrated magic around my torso, "TrrrEEEYYY!!!! Stop!!!" Luna laughed unable to control her laughter.

"Not untiIILLL you stoooop!!!" I was laughing back.

None of us were stopping, our tickling war was relentless to the point when Luna, the Lunar Princess stopped. "Alright!" She yells in a serious tone to which I stop and the magic around my belly disappeared.

"I admit defeat." Luna panted.

I pushed back to look at her. Seeing a blushing and tired Luna was really cute to see. However, her eyes weren't looking at my face and I realized what happened. I was pressing my boner against Luna while tickling her. I felt the blood rush to my face as the feeling of my wet towel touched my upper thigh. Grabbing it quickly to cover my lower torso up. We looked at one another finally and something I didn't see coming was a giggle from Luna. I cocked my head, but given the situation that we were just in, it was very funny to where I smiled and chuckled with her.

"That was very silly of me to do Trey, I'm sorry." Luna calming herself.

"Yeah, it was, but I forgive you Luna and I believe you know why I jumped into the cold side?" I wondered.

She nodded, "Your secret is safe with me, but I have to ask, was it because of washing my scar or something else?"

I blushed as I gulped, 'Well I'm going to have to tell the truth anyhow.' I thought as I sighed. "With how beautiful you are..." I tried to gather my scattered thoughts, "and seeing how I've never been to a bathing room, how can I not get... Aroused by you? Seeing that you're my favorite pony when I watched you from my world?"

I actually got the Lunar Princess to blush and fluff out her wings, "O-Oh..." She turned her head to the ceiling to the window above, "No pony has ever said that to me ever..." Then her eyes land upon me, "Thank you."

"It's no problem, Luna... Did you want me to leave or...?" I held out my pause as Luna responded.

"I don't think that would be necessary Trey..." Then her eyes brightened up, "Actually, would you mind accompanying me?"

I tilted my head, "Oh?"

After getting dressed, while Luna was probably watching me with curious eyes, we walked down the castle together. The sun was very high as I began to realize something was wrong with this picture.

"Wait..." Luna's ears perked up, "Aren't you supposed to be asleep during the day?"

She shook her head, "Not at all, I usually have the night court every so often when somepony requests my presence for an appointment. Majority of my time is sleeping dream guarding our subjects dreams."

"Oh..." I said in awe, "So that's how it works? I guess something similar works for your sister?"

Nodding as we turned the corner heading further inside, "Celestia, due to working during the day, she always has appointments during the court, she does, however, get a rare occasion of having the day off to do as she pleases."

"Ah, that makes sense." I said changing the subject, "From what I was told, Twilight and her friends were taken back home. I was hoping to meet them again."

"If you want to go to Ponyville, you would have to be cautious, not a lot of our little pony's know about your presence," Luna informed as her magic opened the door, "It's down here."

Luna and I went through the doors as it leads to another hallway which gradually slopped down to a circular stone door. The door itself was a stone carving of the three races, Unicorn, Pegasus, Earth Ponys and had an Alicorn in the center with a hole in its chest. I walked forward to get a better look at the details. The wasn't much except for the symbols of the sun and moon at the corners of the door.

"Judging by the hole in the center..." I put my index finger into the hole, "You have to be an Alicorn to access it?"

"Yes, I believe you know this because...?"

"When the Changeling invasion happened during the wedding or the time when Celestia tried to get the Elements to fight against Discord." I pointed out as she nodded.

"Have you ever seen this room before though?"

I shook my head, "Never."

"Alright, I guess you'll be in for quite a surprise." She waved her hoof at me and I moved to the side as she slides her horn into the hole. Her magic radiated through her horn to which the door reacted. Hearing smooth stone sliding from the inside almost gave me chills as the circular door was being pushed in. Then Luna retracted her horn as the corners were pulled away and the circular door rolled to the left into a shelf.

"I see that this room is important?" I asked as Luna nodded with a smile.

Resuming our walk, we went inside the room it wasn't much. The room was sculpted in a way where it had four roman-like columns with a natural skylight illuminating everything. In the center, however, was a wooden pedestal holding a large orb. Inside the orb was a tiny landscape with a mountain and waterfall. It looked like someone took a small chunk of the land and stuffed it into it.

"I'm not going to say anything and let you explain what this is, but it's cool," I said keeping my mouth shut.

Luna giggled, "This orb is a place where my sister and I can relax. Time itself isn't affected in this orb. Say you want to stay inside this for about a month, you can and only a minute, day or week will pass instead."

"Very interesting... How do we get inside?" I asked as Luna rolled her eyes.

"With magic of course." She said lighting up her horn to prepare a spell.

Before I knew it, Luna and I were teleported into the orb as soon as I blinked. It was bright, the sky was blue, the air was humid, but not too much to sweat as much. The breeze coming off of my hair felt salty on my lips.

"Are we at a beach?" I asked aloud as I looked around at my surroundings. There was a beach, behind me the mountain that I saw when we were in the room was humongous when up close. There was snow forming at the top of it as my eyes lowered to see a wooden cabin, fully furnished in the inside from what I could tell from the french doors.

"How long are we going to be inside the orb?" I wondered as I heard the sand shift under my shoes.

"I put us in for an hour. I had to set the amount of time for it to work, however, when I did so, I can't undo it." She informed.

"Why's that?"

Luna turned to the side and admired the scenery as she took in a deep breath, "Starswirl was the one who made this for Celestia and me to escape, only he has the key to override his own creation." She gestured her hoof to follow her as we took a stroll down the beach.

"Tell me, Trey, what do you think about this place?" She asked.

Scratching the back of my head, I took in the scene, "Seeing this place is unreal and I can see why you and Celestia come here to relax. For being rulers of Equestria, while it has it's perks, however, I see it can cause a lot of stress." I explained, "As for the relaxing scenery, I love it. I guess I would have to ask you or Celestia to come into this room."

There was a glowing smile coming from Luna was contagious to make me smile as well, "I'm happy that you said that and I don't think you have to bother me and my sister to come in here." Before I could ask, she fired a spell towards my torso and for a moment I felt something grow within me. "Now when you want to come in, you'll be able to with using your finger."

I blinked as I felt around my body, did that spell do something to me? I shrugged it off, maybe Celestia could do something about it. Or head to the nearest infirmary. For now, I'll keep it quiet as I followed beside Luna through the beach. We pass by lounge chairs that were set up on a patch of grass that was mixed with sand, up the front patio, and into the cabin.

Inside, after ducking the top of the door frame, was a well-furnished cabin that felt warm. Everything around me, the walls, the floor, and the ceiling was made out of various woods I couldn't recognize. A stone brick fireplace was in the center of the living room while a bar separating the kitchen from it all. The high ceilings felt refreshing to where I was able to stretch and not hitting the top. I noticed that my elbows were close to the height of the door frame when I glanced at my shadow. Luna walked towards the other end of the living room and gestured her hoof to the hallway.

"The bathroom is the first door on the left down this hall. Further down is two bedrooms, there really are no assigned rooms since Tia and I use this place to escape." Luna explained as she trots to the living room and sat on the couch, "Since this entire place is enchanted, we set some spells to have a self-cleaning system when we leave this place or every twenty-four hours."

I raised my finger, but she was able to answer my unsaid question, "As for food and water, the kitchen is the only haven as it communicates with the outside world to collect it and feed us for the entire day."

"I suppose this also has a recycling system for trash?" I asked as I walked towards Luna and she gestured for me to sit on the couch with a soft pat with her hoof.

"Very much so, we have trash treatment that separates, recycles or burns it. There's also a water retreatment spell that reprocessed toilet water and shower water...." I raised an eyebrow as she then lashed out her hooves, "Never sharing of course." It was probably the first time I've seen her shudder, "Washing in reused toilet water... Preposterous."

That got me to chuckle, "So I see that this cabin, no, the entire orb is a paradise that can handle itself when one or three guests are here. I'm happy that you'd allow me to access this. Though I had to ask, why did you?"

She sighed as her body began to lay down on her front legs, "To be honest, my sister thought it would be best to give you some time alone if you needed it." I tilted my head as she glanced at me, "She is worried about your safety, seeing that you're the only one of your species in Equestria. Celestia and I thought it would be best if you needed someplace to escape you can come here and enjoy."

That was actually very thoughtful for them to do. I sort of saw this coming and thinking about how I'm going to adjust to this world. I mean, I'm not going to stay at the castle forever without a job right? I mean, I want to continue my education... I internally smacked my forehead, my education. How do the school system work in this world?

"Something on your mind?" Luna asked as our eyes met.

I felt my cheeks burn as I scratched a sudden itch on the back of my shoulder, "Y-Yeah... Before I got sent to Equestria, I was on my way to a University that I was accepted. I'm wondering how I'm going to continue-"

Luna rested her hoof on my thigh as she spoke, "If education is what you want, I'm sure Celestia will help you out with that and the... Issue your having with magic reacting to your body."

My eyes widened, "So something is wrong with me?" I said admitting my self-doubt.

"You've grown taller Trey, I'm pretty sure that it isn't because of a growth spurt," Luna informed as I blinked and all of a sudden I was sitting on a stone bench. I felt disoriented at first, but I realized that we were back in the room with the orb at the center.

"I see you're confused, but that usually happens. When the orb time limit ends, the user is teleported out suddenly." She said getting up on her hooves and stretching her barrel, "It's perhaps the only drawback to the entire experience." Luna turned her head to face me as I stood up, "Now let's make haste and get to the infirmary."

Author's Note

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I missed last month on releasing this chapter, but I do have an excuse. Life, college, family, and work. All four of those elements made me very busy. As of this moment, I'm studying for mid-terms, but luckily it's pretty easy once I understood the material and I had some time to finish this up and for my pre-reader to look it over. Hope you enjoyed it!
