Princess Luna had been depressed before that but her sudden change in behavior over the past two weeks has Celestia wondering what has been going on.

Evening Discussions

Another evening arrived in Canterlot and like always, Princess Luna awoke from her daily slumber. She looked out towards the sun and saw it dropping towards the horizon. Luna absolutely loved this sight but not for the same reason as she used to. In the past she was happy because she would soon be able to bask Equestria in her lovely moonlight but now she thinks of just one thing. Very soon she would be able to go spend time with her marefriend, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

She bounced down the stairs into the dining hall. Celestia saw this and asked, "Good evening little sister. What has you in such a good mood?"

Luna replied, "Nothing in particular big sister. We just had a most pleasant slumber today and we are well rested for our patrol of the Everfree Forest tonight."

Celestia gave her a half smile, "Little sister, I remember it was just two weeks ago to the day that you would wake up and be unhappy. You would not be excited to go out and do your royal duty. You treated it as more of simply seeking solitude and then suddenly you have changed." She gazed into Luna's eyes and asked, "Luna, what is the real reason you are so happy now? You are happier now than you have been in your whole life."

Luna smiled, "Well we are just happy to get out." She hung her head down and blushed, "We are going to visit the Apple family tonight for some dessert. They have been inviting us for fritters here lately and we love their fritters as much as thou loves thy cake!"

Celestia could tell she was lying. "Little sister, you are just as bad of a liar as Applejack is. I know you do enjoy your fritters but I highly doubt you would be this happy over mere fritters." She pushed Luna's head up and asked, "You aren't dating Applejack are you?"

Luna replied, "No big sister, we are not dating Applejack. Thou knows that we see her as just a very good friend, nothing more." She blushed and continued, "Why wouldst thou think that we are dating somepony?"

Celestia replied, "I wonder if you are dating somepony because of the way you blush and seem to be in such a hurry to get going. It seems like you feel like if you don't arrive somewhere at a certain time that you may disappoint somepony."

Luna lied, "Big sister, we are not dating anypony! Thou knows that we have never sought love and enjoy our personal space! Dating somepony would take away from us!"

Celestia sighed, "Well ok." She cast her gaze towards the balcony and continued, "Well Luna, we better go out and do our royal duties."

After they did their royal duties and eating supper, like she had been doing lately, Luna headed straight towards the balcony rather than take part in what used to be a tradition for them, their evening talks. Celestia yelled, "Luna, what has happened with you? You used to always put so much emphasis on us being so close, now you just head out to do whatever it is you are doing without even talking anymore."

Luna replied, "We just want to go and visit the Apple Family before we head into the forest. They always engage in such cheerful conversations."

Celestia asked, "Oh and I don't engage in cheerful conversations? We used to laugh over the silliest things but now the Apples are more important?"

Luna realized that if she did not get going that Twilight may wonder if she was coming or not. She sighed, "No big sister, they are not more important." She cast her gaze towards the balcony and continued, "We must get going, we canst be late."

Once Luna headed off Celestia went out onto the balcony and watched Luna fly off towards Ponyville. She sighed, "I don't know what to think of this anymore." She got a sneaky grin on her face and continued, "Well little sister, you can say what you want but tonight I'm going to find out what is going on with you."

About an hour after Luna took off for Ponyville, Celestia did the same. While she had her doubts about whether Luna was actually going to visit with the Apple family, she decided that she would go there. If she was not there, she decided she would visit other ponies that she thinks Luna may go and see.

Suppertime Discussion

Suppertime Discussion

A half hour had passed since Luna departed Canterlot and she was flying over Ponyville. She headed straight towards Twilight's castle and just like she always is, Twilight was standing on her balcony waiting for her. Luna landed, hugged Twilight and said, "Twilight, it is so good to see you!"

Twilight replied, "It's good to see you too Luna!"

Luna asked, "How has your day been?"

Twilight replied, "Oh, it's been going. I spent some time with Rarity while she was making dresses and helped Fluttershy bathe her animals but other than that, not much. How about you?"

Luna said, "Well I had a most peaceful slumber today but once I woke up and headed downstairs my sister wondered why I was in such a good mood."

Luna's stomach growled so loudly that Twilight could easily hear it. She suggested, "Luna, you know I care a lot about what you have to say but let's talk about this inside. Besides, I have something special for you."

Luna excitedly asked, "What do you have for me?"

Twilight giggled, "Close your eyes and hold on to me."

Luna did as requested and followed Twilight. As they headed further inside Luna could smell something, something that she liked. She asked, "Twilight, did you have the chefs fix us something special."

Twilight replied, "Not exactly but I'm sure you'll like it."

Finally Twilight let Luna open her eyes and she was shocked by what she saw. Twilight had set up a candle lit table for two in her bedroom. On it was a couple hayburgers and a basket of fresh apple fritters. Luna gasped, "Twilight, did you make this?"

Twilight replied, "The burgers, yes. The fritters, no. I got those from Applejack not too long before you got here. I know how much you like her fritters so I talked to her about making some for us."

While Luna was very happy about the fritters, what real excited her was the fact that Twilight would make hay burgers for her. She squealed, "You made us hayburgers? You cooked them yourself?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, I did. I just wanted to show you how much I love you."

Without even thinking as to whether Spike was around or not, she pounced on Twilight and began to kiss her passionately. While Twilight was taken off guard by Luna's action, she reciprocated her kisses but soon pulled back, "Luna, you know I love it when we lay on the floor and kiss but I think we should eat our food while it's warm."

Luna got off of her and replied, "I'm sorry Twilight. It's just that I was so happy that you would make something for me yourself."

Twilight gave her a smile and the two sat down to eat. Twilight remembered what Luna started to tell her when she first arrived. She asked, "Luna, when you first got here you said something about your sister wondering why you were in a good mood. What was that about?"

Luna sighed, "Well as you know for quite some time I was depressed when I would wake from my slumber every afternoon but ever since we have become marefriends, I have been happy upon waking. What bothers me is why it bothers her. Canst she just be happy that I'm happy?"

Twilight asked, "Has she asked you anything about why you are happier?"

Luna replied, "Yes, she has. I am worried about what she may say about us being an item so I tell her that I am looking forward to having snacks and engaging in cheerful conversations with the Apple Family."

Twilight asked, "And I take it she isn't buying it?"

Luna replied, "It doesn't seem like it. She asks us why I leave so early and given that I am a bad liar, I blush and simply tell her about my plans to visit the Apples. Then she accused me of dating Applejack!"

Twilight busted out laughing, "Oh Celestia can be so silly sometimes. She should know that you are just friends with them." She calmed down a bit and asked, "I thought Celestia had this view of you that you would never date anypony? I thought you had told her that you enjoy your personal space."

Luna replied, "I have but I think my leaving early every night has brought out a lot of suspicion from her." She gazed into Twilight's eyes and continued, "For now though, let's just enjoy our supper and cast my sister's suspicions aside."

Twilight nodded in agreement and the two continued to eat their meal. While they said little during their supper, they knew the night was young and there would be plenty of time for them to express their love as the night progressed.

Celestia Investigates

An hour after Luna took off towards Ponyville, Celestia did the same. She was bound and determined to figure out why Luna's behavior had changed so much. She was dead set on figuring out why she was in such a good mood, blushed more often and most of all, why she would leave so early. When she got to Ponyville, she headed to Sweet Apple Acres first.

When she arrived she saw Applejack out by the barn. She landed down next to her and asked, "Hi Applejack, can we talk?"

Applejack bowed and replied, "Of course we can your Majesty. What do y'all want to talk about?"

Celestia began, "Can I ask you a question? Has my sister been coming over here every evening for fritters?"

Applejack replied, "No, she hasn't. Why do y'all ask?"

Celestia continued, "Well she has been leaving the castle every night immediately after she lowers the moon and eats a light supper. She has been claiming that she comes here for fritters and cheerful conversations."

Applejack asked, "Hmm...I wonder why she'd be claiming that. Is there anypony else that she might be coming to see?"

Celestia asked in return, "I was about to ask you just that. Has anypony been altering their activities right after sundown that you would know about?"

Applejack replied, "Well not any that I can think of but earlier today Twilight dropped by to see if I could make some fritters that would be ready by sundown. She's asked me for fritters for one reason or another before but today she seemed more insistent, almost like it would be life or death if I didn't have them ready on time." She began to laugh, "Wouldn't it be funny if Luna had been coming to see Twilight all this time?"

Celestia gasped, "Luna come to visit Twilight every night? I know that Luna is closer with her than she is your other friends but Luna doesn't seem like the type to visit the same pony every single night."

Applejack replied, "Well whenever her name is mentioned Twilight has been blushing here the past couple weeks."

Celestia asked, "Seriously? Twilight has been blushing at the very mention of Luna's name?"

Applejack replied, "Yeah, she has. She tries to lie her way out of it or claim that she wasn't blushing. Most of us think she has a crush on Luna but Rarity seems to think they have something going on. I think that's a stretch but I could be wrong."

Celestia said, "Thank you Applejack. I think I'm going to go pay Twilight a visit and find out."

After they finished their supper Luna and Twilight headed back out to the balcony to talk some more. "Thank you for the meal Twilight, it was delicious."

Twilight replied, "You don't have to thank me Luna, I love you and I thought that if I cooked you something rather than the chefs, that it would have more meaning."

Luna pulled Twilight close and continued, "It would have meant a lot to me either way but it is rare for a princess to cook her own meals, much less cook for anypony else."

Twilight moved in for a kiss, "I would do anything for you Luna. If cooking a meal for you every night would make you happy, I would gladly do it."

Twilight moved closer, parted her lips and the two began to kiss passionately. As their tongues began to fight over entry into the other's mouth, they rolled onto the balcony and began to grope one another. Luna began to massage Twilight's flank, right where her cutie marks were. She pulled back, "Oh Luna, that feels so good! That feels so good!"

Twilight began to reciprocate, causing Luna to feel the same pleasure. The two began moaning loudly and calling out one another's names. They were in such ecstasy that they did not notice a shadow fly above them. A pony landed on the balcony and stood there watching with a smirk on her face. This pony couldn't help but snicker realizing the situation that is about to materialize.

Discovering the Truth

Author's Note

Most of this chapter will be in a back and forth dialogue.

Discovering the Truth

Celestia had suspicions over her sister's strange behavior and after flying to Ponyville, she discovered what it was. She discovered that Luna's strange behavior and altered schedule was a result of her going to visit Twilight every night. She landed on their balcony to find them groping one another, kissing and moaning. She couldn't help but smirk watching them as a memory from long ago came to her mind.

She laughed, "So Luna, I thought you weren't seeing anypony."

This caused the two to pull apart and look up at Celestia in shock. Celestia asked, "So Luna, how long has this been going on?"

Luna replied, "It has been going on for two weeks."

Celestia said, "I see, no wonder you suddenly went from being depressed to being happy two weeks ago. No wonder we haven't had a good talk in two weeks."

Before Luna could reply, Twilight interrupted, "Celestia, please don't be mad at her. She was feeling depressed, she came to talk to me and while we were talking, we discovered that we have wanted to be together for a long time."

Celestia sighed, "Oh and how long have you two wanted to be together?"

Twilight replied, "Well I fell for her when she came to Ponyville on that first Nightmare Night after her return."

Luna added, "And I fell for her back then." She saw a look of disapproval forming on her sister's face and continued, "But we didn't pursue anything because we feared of what thy reaction would be."

Celestia replied, "Well that is good. Back then I would have been extremely angry over such a relationship, I would have likely banished you." She cast her gaze at Twilight, "And I likely would have made you move back to Canterlot."

Both mares asked "Seriously?"

Celestia replied, "Yes seriously but I've mellowed out a lot and besides, you're both grown mares and you're both princesses. I'm happy for you." She smiled at Luna and continued, "While I am happy for you, that doesn't mean you don't have to pay up."

Twilight asked, "What do you mean by 'pay up?'"

Celestia giggled, "Should I tell her Lulu or do you want to?"

Luna got a nervous look on her face as she knew exactly what she was talking about. She gasped, "Tia, that bet is over 1,500 yeas old! It certainly canst still be valid!"

Twilight asked, "Lulu? Tia? What bet?"

Celestia laughed, "Come on Lulu, you know there was no expiration date on that!" She calmed down and continued, "Now are you going to tell her or do I have to."

Luna protested, "Tia, thou canst tell her! It would be most embarrassing!"

Celestia laughed, "Sorry Lulu but your marefriend has to know."

Twilight asked, "I have to know what?"

Celestia giggled, "The bet! When my sister and I were younger, a friend of ours had her heart broken by another mare and this caused us to decide against ever pursuing romance of any sort. However, being the mischievous fillies we were, we decided to make a bet."

Luna added, "We made a bet that eventually one of us would cave in and pursue romance."

Celestia triumphantly added, "And now since Lulu lost, she has to make me happy in any way I want for a whole month!"

Twilight asked, "What is with this Tia and Lulu suddenly?"

Celestia replied, "When we were younger, we gave one another pet names."

Twilight asked, "Why would you give one another pet names?"

Celestia replied, "Because of the things we did together." She began to giggle, "And for the next month, it will be just like old times, won't it Lulu?"

Luna sarcastically replied, "For you!"

Celestia laughed, "Come on Lulu, you liked it then and I'm sure you still want it!"

Twilight interrupted, "Ok Celestia, what do you mean that Luna has to make you happy any way you want for the next month and what do you mean she liked it?"

Celestia giggled, "You know Twily, join Lulu and I and you can find out!" She leaned down to Twilight and whispered, "I hope you do because then I can show you all the ways to get Luna to submit to you entirely."

Twilight gasped, "You mean you two?"

Luna replied, "Yes Twilight, we do."

Celestia interrupted, "Enough of all this small talk. Come on you two, let's get back to Canterlot. I really need a release and I'm not about to let Lulu off the hook."

Twilight asked, "But what about Spike? I can't just leave him home alone for a month! I can't just ignore my royal duties for a month and I can't just abandon my friends for a month!"

Celestia replied, "Don't be such a worry wart Twily. Everything will be fine."

Luna replied, "Twilight, please come." She stuck her bottom lip out and continued, "Please Twilight, I love you and it would mean the world to me if you did this."

Twilight sighed, "Alright Luna, I'll do this for you."

As the three took off for Canterlot, they all were experiencing different emotions. Celestia was beyond thrilled because not only did she win the bet, but she would get to have the type of fun with her sister that she loved so much so long ago. Luna was nervous about what Twilight thought about this. While she would ever admit it, she did look forward to giving her sister anything and everything she wanted. Twilight wasn't sure what to think. While she loved Luna dearly, she never imagined that she and her sister would engage in such activities. To her, incest was wrong but a nagging voice in the back of her head told her that perhaps there is a reason they do that and to keep an open mind.
