The Longest Day

Dark Moons And Hot Suns
Morning
1st person (John)

I rushed into the hall barging the door down to run off to the armory while Celestia went to confront her sister. We both where worried for Luna we didn't want her to go back to the moon for another thousand years but if Luna didn't stop this Celestia would have no choice. I got to the armory to find that all the spears where gone and most of the shields where gone as well except for one that was in a corner and had a big sun on it. I grabbed a sword and the shield to head off towards Luna but that was when the door busted down with a guard flying towards me, I quickly ducked as the guard flew over my head and hit the wall then I stood up and looked at the door it was Luna or Nightmare Moon as she was calling herself.

"Luna, please stop this madness."

"And why should I, our dear sister and her sun deserves to DIE!"

"Why, for doing her duty to Equestria? For providing the crops with sunlight so they can grow? To give people a lovely morning to wake up to? To give people the daylight so they can go outside without stumbling around like a fool?" I asked as I raised my shield to show that I wasn't afraid and ready for what ever she had. she looked stunned at my sudden out burst not knowing how to react she just charged up her horn and fired a beam of magic at me with my shield raised I could only hope that It would protect me. The beam hit the shield HARD pushing me onto my knee's while burning the Image of the sun on the shield, I got up off my knee's and looked Luna in the eyes she had genuine shock I wasn't sure why tho.

"WHAT, YOU SHOULD BE DEAD, MY MAGIC SHOULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH THAT SHIELD!" I just tried to shrug it off.

"Stop this Luna, you know this isn't going to end well for you." I said dryly trying to get her to think strait.

"NEVER, OUR SISTER AND HER SUN WILL DIE AND YOU WILL PERISH WITH THEM!" That was when Celestia, Twilight and her friends rushed in a door to my right.

"JOHN, ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Celestia asked with genuine concern on her face running over to check on me while the main 6 went after Luna who fled as soon as Celestia came in the door.

"Yeah I'm fine but what about Luna?" I asked

"If she doesn't stop this foolishness, I will not hesitate to banish her to the moon again." Celestia said with tears forming in her eyes.

"But she just got back, can't we like reform her, with the elements?"

"Yes but if that doesn't work I will be forced to do so."

"We better go catch up and help the others out." That was when a bright light came from the hallway that the others where in. We rushed out of the Amory to discover what had happened, Luna was on the floor unconscious while the others where also unconscious. I went to see if Twilight and her friends where alright while Celestia checked Luna. months past while me and Celestia looked after Luna and the others Celestia also had to post pone the sun festival to a later date, it was awkward at times like that time I walked in on Celestia getting dressed in some really tight red dress that might I add showed off her slim but curvy body nicely while I was drunk of course. good times anyway we got Luna back on her feet after about 2 months in bed she explained why it had happened. Luna decided it was a good idea to use dark magic to go into my head without actually asking me about my people or planet, hell or even my past! so she got a first hand look at humans and what they can do and what they have invented, she was really keen on finding out what video games where and guns for that matter. Celestia thought she was speaking gibberish but I knew exactly what Luna was talking about but I refused to tell her about it since she looked into my mind without permission. After everyone got back on there feet me and Celestia had a VERY descriptive talk about how she felt for me even if I wasn't the guy I was before but still she harbored heavy feeling for me which I found nice and kinda cute in a way, I told her that I was willing to do something like a date with her but she said "We should take it slow and get to know each other to the full extent before committing to something so...big." I was okay with this because it was a big step that we should explore before jumping on it. I started to get bored after awhile just wandering around the castle so I asked Celestia if I could get a job and she kindly gave me a opening to working with her on paperwork, when I started helping her I found it A LOT easier than what I thought which intern left me and Celestia with lots of free time so sometimes we would go to the royal gardens and play games like hide and seek or tag which mind you was unfair as shit because she had wings. Every so often Luna would join us in our games after she finished her paperwork of cause but when I spent more and more time with Celestia I could feel like something strong was building up inside of me. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon me and Celestia had just finished our paperwork for the day and where thinking about stuff we could do for the rest of the afternoon.

"We could go down to the gardens and play some games?"

"I would love to but I am feeling quite drained, how about a couple hours at the royal pool?" Celestia asked as we walked to her quarters.

"Wait a second, I didn't know this place had a pool!"

"Indeed it does, how about we meet there, say about half an hour?"

"Sure." Oh its been soooo long since I last had a swim in a pool unless you count swimming in your barf. We got to Celestia's quarters without any trouble she insisted I come to help her pick out which swim suit to wear but I refused because I had to get to my own quarters to get ready for a afternoon of swimming and sun baking and plus she would look good in anything she wears so there wasn't really a point in me telling her what looks good. After refusing Celestia's offer I went to my quarters but I bumped into some trouble, should I say.

"Oh hey look its monkey boy." A voice from behind me said. I turned to see a familiar sight it was Moonlight Glitter he was a Pegasus of the lunar guard but not just any lunar guard he was the captain of the lunar guard.

"Oh hey look its Glitter boy." I shot straight back at him. He just gave me a death glare before I decided he wasn't worth my time and continued my course to my quarters.

"YOU DARE INSULT THE CAPTAIN OF THE LUNAR GUARD!?" He shot at me.

"Don't make yourself a embarrassment Glitter boy."

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" He was silenced at the sight of Luna coming down the hallway. I Luna a wave to say hello but she didn't look to impressed. She had seen it all from start to end but she just gave both of us a disappointed stare before I broke the silence.

"What?"

"I saw everything." She said in a deadpanned look.

"He started it." I said pointing towards Moonlight.

"And I'm ending it." Luna said before walking off me and Moonlight gave each other glares for a good minute or two. Your probably wondering why this guy hates me and to be frank with you I really don't know he just hates me, maybe because I'm a different species or something along those lines but I have never hurt him, humiliated him or even talk to him apart from like just then. Oh but I have wanted to hurt him or even humiliate him plenty of times but someone got in the way before anything went down but not this time I'm going to challenge him to a duel after work tomorrow just me and him.

"Hey Glitter boy, me and you, one on one, at 3:00 tomorrow, in the courtyard?"

"Your on." He said before we both walked off into different directions of the castle halls. It was almost time to go to the pool that I said I would meet Celestia at but I honestly didn't know where to go to get to the pool like she could have noted where the pool was but nope I left before she had a chance to- wait can't I just ask a maid to tell me where it is? I'm sooo dumb.

"Hey, excuse me but I was wondering where I could find the royal pool?" I asked a maid who just so happened to be walking past.

"Ah, yes that would explain Celestia." She said turning to face me in my bright blue boxers at the door way to my room.

"What do you mean?" I asked with a confused expression

"Nothing." She said with a little blush forming on her cheeks.

"Right. Anyway where can I find the pool?"

"It should be about 4 stories up not too hard to miss." She said before walking off again into the seemingly never ending halls. I made my way up to the pool to find nobody was there until I felt a warm breath at my ear, quickly doing a 180 to face Celestia in her green two piece bikini. She was stunning, her body was mesmerizing in that bikini while her face had the sweetest smile on it and it was just perfect.

"Wow you look."

"Good?"

"More than just 'good' you look amazing!"

"Oh, aren't you the charmer." Celestia said with the cutest smile.

"I try." I said before we both went to go sit down at the edge of the pool putting are feet in to see how cold it is. The pool was quite warm thanks to the sun and it had a very easy ripple from our feet.

"Its nice to have time to myself, you know?"

"Yeah, I still can't imagine how you did it for so long."

"Did what?"

"Not have time for yourself for like two thousand years like that's a long ass time even for you." I said turning to Celestia who had a calm smile planted on her face while in the suns direction.

"It wasn't easy you know, but now we have the entire afternoon to enjoy the pool and sun." She said before turning her head from the sun to face me still with that calm smile on her face.

"Then lets hop to it." I said before getting up and walking a good meter or two from the edge of the pool, still with Celestia's gaze on me.

"What are you doing?" Celestia asked and that was when it hit her strait in the noggin, I was running straight at the pool.

"CANNON BALL!" I said before jumping and curling up like a ball in midair to only hit the water making the biggest SPLASH I have ever done in my life. I surface seconds later to find Celestia drenched and trying to cover herself from the water that was still coming down after my little act. I just looked at her for a second and started laughing like a mad man at Celestia's angry but confused look towards my actions.

"WHAT THE BUCK JOHN!" Celestia screaming at me.

"What I thought we came here to get wet, swim, sun bake, you know." I said as I shrugged her screaming off.

"Yes but you could have warned me!" Celestia said while lowering her voice significantly.

"Where's the fun in that?" I asked her in a deadpanned voice.

"I hate you sometimes." Celestia finished.

"Yeah, yeah, now get in here." I said as I pulled down on her arm so she would fall into the pool. She fell in as intended but she didn't resurface for a good ten seconds but when she did mind you she looked breath taking. Her body sure it was stunning and all but when it was wet in the pool it was like heaven for my eyes.

"That wasn't very gentlecolt like was it?" She said in a sarcastic tone.

"Not a stallion remember." I said deadpanning her.

"Indeed your not but it would be nice if you acted like one." She said also deadpanning me.

"Well I guess I could but I don't know how to." I said in a sarcastic tone that Celestia didn't pick up on.

"John, I know you know how to be a gentlecolt." She said before I pushed some water at her face.

"Too much talk." I said before I started to do laps of the pool. Celestia on the other hand got out of the pool and started to sun bake which after I did my laps of the pool joined her mind you I did like 30 laps so I was tired.

"Are you going to be a gentlecolt now or are you going to keep goofing around?" Celestia asked as I laid next to her with a towel on the bricks.

"I could if you want me to?"

"Well I for one found some of your little pranks funny." Celestia said with a little chuckle in her voice.

"Little?" I asked not understanding her statement.

"Why is that the best you have?" She said turning her head from the sun to face me.

"No but those where some pretty good ones." I stated with a smile.

"Those are nothing compared to the ones me and Luna play on each other." she told me with a deadpanned expression.

"You guys do pranks?" I asked with a confused face.

"Yes, how do you not know?"

"Well I just assumed since you guys are the princess's you don't do pranks." I said meaning every word.

"I can assure you we do plenty of pranks to each other one could say its a prank war."

"Oh, could I join at some point?." I asked curiously.

"Sure, but I must warn you I cannot protect you against any pranks." she said with a bit of concern in her eyes for my safety.

"Whats the worst that could happen plus I am fairly capable of protecting myself." I said with a gleeful smile

"Okay, but didn't say I didn't warn you." The next couple of hours we spent sun baking until Luna found us and joined us for the last part of the day, when it was about 6:00 Celestia told me that she had to go lower the sun to make way for Luna to raise the moon. Celestia didn't come back to the pool instead she went to her chambers to think about 'Stuff' so me and Luna where left to talk about all sorts of random stuff until I sore Celestia in her chambers window she looked sad for some odd reason.

"Hey Luna do you think Celestia is sad?"

"No, why?"

"She looks upset is all." I said as I pointed at Celestia. Luna didn't say anything for a couple minutes until I splashed some water on her.

"Ah......yes I know what you are talking about now."

"Then what is she upset about?" Asking with my curiosity levels going into overload mode as I cared deeply for Celestia.

"John...you know how she wanted to take your relationship slow?" Luna said turning her gaze to the pool.

"Yeah." Was all I could say as I was about to explode with curiosity.

"Well she talk to me yesterday about you guys and she said that she felt lonely and that you were thinking of her more of a friend and not something more so to speak." She said seeming to calm my curiosity completely but not all the way.

"So, shes lonely and wants me to go to the next step her in our relationship?" I asked with hesitation at first.

"Yes precociously." Luna said with a smile as she turned her gaze once again to Celestia.

"Oh, well I'm going to go talk to her, okay."

"Okay, but try to be a gentlecolt." Luna said with a worried tone in her voice.

"I'll try." I said before leaving Luna alone in the pool.
