I awoke to the smell of vanilla and the feel of my face buried in somepony's chest. I pulled my face away for a moment to see who was still in bed. Surprisingly, the only pony I saw was Twilight who appeared to still be asleep. I decided that I wasn't about to try to wake her, so I nuzzled my head back into her chest and tried to go back to sleep.

It only felt like a few moments when I was awoken by the feeling of a hoof rubbing my back and somepony, presumably Twilight, nuzzling the back of my head. It took a great deal of effort just to get the strength to pull my face from her fur and open my eyes to look at her again.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" she asked sweetly, getting only a tired nod and yawn from me. "Sorry, its just that until I opened my eyes and saw you, I couldn't believe that yesterday was true... And when I saw you, I just couldn't help myself... And." her voice was cut short as I planted a kiss on her lips, partly to calm her down, and partly to get some quiet for the moment.

"Is that enough to prove I'm real?" I asked with yet another yawn, only to be pounced on and covered with kisses back, causing an urge that I remember feeling yesterday with Lulu... And it would seem that Twi has taken notice.

"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here... My dear stallion has an itch he needs scratched and I seem to be the only mare of his herd around to take care of it. Now what should I do about it?" she teased as she placed a forehoof right next to my protruding stallionhood, causing it to grow a little more.

"Twiiiliiight, please!" I moaned.

"Well since you said 'please'." she replied lustily as she brought her head down to my hips and gave my shaft a long, slow lick, earning another moan of pleasure from me.

"Well you are definitely in need of my help." she giggled just before engulfing the whole of my shaft into her hungry maw, giving the whole thing a nice coating of her saliva, then a couple strong suckles, and began bobbing her head up and down again.

The pleasure quickly began to overtake me as I felt a tightness again, but with no release as Twilight pulled herself from my shaft and began licking the saliva trails connecting her maw and my shaft away.

"Don't forget that you need to give me some pleasure too." she said with a giggle as she turned around and began moving her flanks to my face. What I saw when she layed down on my body and moved her tail was beautiful, a gorgeous pair of tight pony lips that were glistening with juices, and I quickly began taking to licking the outer edges and working my way inwards, giving a certain pink nub a few twirls from my tongue every time I passed it, earning squeals of joy and squirts of fluid to come from the lusty lavender pony.

"Hold on." she said as she removed her delicious folds from my reach, and turned back around to face me. "I need you in me NOW." she said, as she positioned herself to sit on my pelvis all while moving my shaft to line up with her tight slit. As she finished lining us up, I saw her begin to slowly lower herself down onto me,and couldn't help moaning from the feeling of my shaft passing in between her tasty lips and the warmth of her tight interior.

As she came close to hilting me, I felt something halt any progress. "Just a little bit more..." I heard her mumble under the gasps of pleasure, and suddenly, I felt my tip puncture the blockage and slide in fully, only to feel it pinch my shaft as if it didn't belong there. As all this took place, I heard the gasps of pleasure and began to get worried.

"Twi? Are you" I couldn't even finish my sentence as she planted a kiss on my lips and forced her tongue into my mouth. I accepted her challenge with fervor and my own tongue began its counterattack, earning more moans of pleasure from her.

Suddenly I felt her lifting her rear off of my pelvis for a moment until I felt the tip of my shaft come to the edge of its pinchy prison, and then she suddenly dropped back down, fully engulfing me inside her once again. As she continued this I started our battle of tongues once more until I felt a familiar tightness and pulled my face from her's and wrapped my hooves around her neck. She seemed to notice as my shaft throbbed inside her and began to coat her womb with my white paint. I quickly flooded her, but without a means of escape, it just caused her womb to stretch, causing her to tighten down on the entirety of my shaft.

As I felt my cum stop flowing into her I tried to calm my high breath rate, only to have my lavender mate start planting kisses all over my face.

"That was amazing! I haven't cum so hard since before...you know..."

"I know, and I'm proud that you were able to do it. But sheesh you're tight!"

"Well it HAS been six years. And its mostly been just me and Chrissy. Not to mention you're the only stallion in our herd. I just can't wait until you're full grown again, that'll be some fun times." she said with a smirk.

Suddenly, it hit me! "Wait! Aren't you going to get pregnant now?" this earned a laugh from Twilight.

"Im not in heat, silly. I just had to have you again. It's been so bucking long..." she said as she nuzzled me. I obviously nuzzled her back as my softening shaft slipped from its tight prison, causing a moan from Twilight. It didn't take long for me to hear her slightly snoring as I began to drift into unconsciousness myself.
...

...

"Really? I thought I told you to wake him up, not drain him dry and put him back to sleep!"

"Sorry Luna... I just couldn't help myself. You remember what it's like to be with him!"

"I do, but we need to get him ready to go!"

"All right all ready! I'm up! You don't need to keep bickering with each other!" I yelled tiredly before attempting to stand, only to fall flat on my face.

"Are you all right sweetheart?" I heard Luna ask. My only response was a tired grumble. Suddenly I felt myself begin to rise and placed on somepony's back.

"The both of you need to get cleaned up before we take the train to Canterlot. And NO screwing around!"

"Yes Luna..." I heard Twi mumble as she took us to the bathroom.

I peeked open my eyes as I floated into what looked like a tub for two. Shortly after I was sat down, I saw Twilight climb in after me and turned the water on. Surprisingly, it was already nice and warm and it made me sigh as I moved to rest my head on Twi's shoulder.

"*Giggle* You always did hate getting up if you didn't want to, but at least I can get you cleaned up from our early morning fun." The whole time she cleaned my fur, I was focusing solely on the vanilla scent she was rubbing into it.

"Do you think you could help me get my back?" Twi asked me. I tried to help as best as I could in my tired state, and seemed to get most of her back lathered nicely, only to have her pour water all over my hard work shortly after.

I decided I would go back to snuggling up with her while enjoying the warmth of the bath for a few more minutes...but as I woke up once more, I was laying on the bed with a towel wrapped around me while Luna was cleaning dust off a pair of boxes. One of these boxes had her cutie mark on the top and front of it, and as she opened it, she pulled out what looked to be her royal regalia which she quickly put on with her magic.

I felt better rested now and began to try and get up so I could see what was on the other box, and it went surprisingly well, my legs still wobbled a bit, but I was able to keep myself up for at least a little while. However the markings on the box seemed to hint at memories I hadn't unlocked yet, it appeared to be a duo of cutie marks; one a solar eclipse with a ring of red flame wrapped around it, and one a lunar eclipse with a blue starburst of flames behind it. Suddenly the box floated up to the bed and I noticed it was surrounded by purple magic that seemed to be quite weak.

"Twi? Why does your magic look weaker then normal?" I asked as she appeared from the bathroom with a towel rubbing behind her ears.

"After your banishment, my magic weakened greatly, this is actually the strongest its been since then... I can only guess its because you're finally back..." As she said this, she opened the box and made its contents float out... A crown, a set of shoes, and a pendent, all made of what looked to be black metal which appeared almost corrupted. "This can't be right... Your regalia didn't look like this before..."

"I like it." I said, "Its got character to it."

"It will have to do." Twilight said as she moved my pendent and crown to rest on my shoulders and head respectively, and my shoes to my feet as well.

"Luna! Twilight! Shadow! Rainbow Dash is here!" we heard Chrissy called up the stairs.

"We're coming Chrissy!" I yelled back as I spread my wings and took off down the tubular stairway...and promptly flew into Chrysalis who was climbing the stairs herself. The two of us then tumbled down to Rainbow Dash's feet.

"Are you two okay?" she asked as she untangled us, my mane catching on the holes in Chrissy's legs, and her tail catching on my pendent.

"Oww.." I complained, but as soon as I finished I was pulled into a hug by a certain blue pegasus that began checking my over for injuries.

Sheesh, are you alright? Good, you don't look hurt.But you need to be careful little... Shadow? But... How?"

My only response was a simple shrug. "When I first woke up I didn't remember anything...still don't remember much... But I know we need to get to Canterlot. I've got a hoof to burry in Blueblood's balls... Or lack thereof... Hmm..."

"He's definitely Shadow. Only he would get lost in thought over an insult he made." Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't know, Discord might do that too." Luna said as I sat there thinking.

"We need to go ponies!" Chrissy yelled as she began pushing everypony to the door.
...
...
...

After a reasonably long walk, with a lot of ponies taking notice of us(I'm pretty sure I knew a few of them), we made it to the train station.

"Phew, we made it..." Twilight said as she wandered over to the ticket booth. "Five tickets to Canterlot please."

"Sooo, what are we going to Canterlot for again?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We need to put Mother and Auntie Lulu back on their thrones where they belong, thus removing that pestilence that is my...cousin? Brother?.....Hmm..."

"Come on you, we need to get on the train." Luna said as she used her magic to put me on her back. We then proceeded to gather in a single car, only to see guards lining the inside. All of them gleaming like... Crystals?

"Uh.... What's going on?" I asked, clearly confused.

"Aunt Luna!" a pretty pink Alicorn pony with a multicolored mane shouted.

"Little sister!" a white stallion with a blue mane shouted next to her.

"Hi everyone!" shouted an alicorn that looked like the first but much closer to my age.

I slipped off Luna's back seemingly unnoticed as everypony began greeting each other, and found myself an empty seat away from the noise. I watched as the train pulled from the station, the sound of the wheels lulling me to sleep.

"Where's Shadow?" I heard Luna cry out with panic.

"Shadow? But I thought he was banished all those years ago." The pink alicorn's voice replied.

"Is this him?" a voice I didn't recognize asked.

"Yes, *sigh* thank goodness he's safe." Luna's voice sounded much closer to me and not two seconds later I felt somepony nuzzling me. On instinct I began nuzzling them back, finally opening my eyes and looking at the face of the pony that was giving me attention, nearly jumping out of my own hide as I saw the older pink alicorn's face instead of Luna's.

I quickly spread my wings and awkwardly flew to the other side of the train car and tried to calm myself down from my near heart attack. As I sat on the seat trying to calm down, I noticed Luna sit down next to me, and bring me into a hug with her wing. I fell into the hug with tears starting to form and fall.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled into her soft fur.

"Whatever for?"

"For getting scared... I should be braver if everything with Blueblood is going to work out..." I felt her pick me up with her hooves and pull me into a much deeper hug, a hoof behind my back, and one holding my head next to hers.

"There's nothing wrong with being scared, sweetheart, least of all right now with everything thats going on. But remember that we're all here for you, we will help you through this mess of ours, okay?" I nodded in acceptance and got a peck on my lips as a reward. "Good, now how's about we try reintroducing you to your brother and sister in law and their niece?" Another nod from me got me another kiss and set down so we could talk to them.

"You're my uncle?" a voice came from just beside me and made me jump to the top of the table with a cry of panic. Looking over to Luna who in turn motioned for me to see this mare that was bigger than me but acted much younger than me.

"Y-yes... I think." I said as I looked back at her only to see her right in my face again, causing me to jump to Luna's side, burying myself in her wing to get away from this pony that won't stop scaring me.

"Flurry Heart! That isn't behavior fitting a princess!" came the voice of the stallion.

"Sorry daddy..."

"Are you okay? Shadow?" I heard the older alicorn ask, then felt somepony sit next to me and Luna. I slowly poked my head out of Luna's wings to see if it was her, and sure enough, she was sitting there with concern on her face.

"Are you alright?" she asked again, only receiving a slight nod before I pulled my head back into the feathers of Luna's wing. "Do you remember me at all?" This made me think... Did I know her before?... Was she important to me at all?... Suddenly it hit me.

"Caddy?" I asked as I poked my head back out and looked at her. She smiled and I saw her eyes water slightly. Luna lifted her wing from around me and I launched myself to my once best friend, giving her a hug as she wrapped her own hooves around me.

"You have no idea how much I missed you... I always hoped to see you again, especially since you were my first colt friend..." As she whispered the last bit in my ear, I felt a blush radiate under my fur.

"If things were different, I probably would've been the first and maybe only mare of your herd, and I won't deny there are days that I wish that had happened... But thats just between you and me, okay?"

A slow nod was the only response needed as my memories of our time came flooding back... Our first "date" to a bakery then a mountain peak overlooking Canterlot, the first time we made love, in her room while mother and Luna were away, when she broke my heart the first time by getting pissed when she thought I was also with Twilight because she kissed me in the castle library when I helped her find a book she thought she lost, and when she broke my heart for the final time when I found out she was marrying that bastard Shining Armor.

I pulled myself from her grasp so quickly that I saw the air shimmer on the path I took back to Luna. The dirty look I had planted on my face plain to all, especially Cadence whom I refused to even look at. However, I still saw her in the corner of my eye, taken aback at the sudden shift in my persona, then a look of realization, and finally remorse. I continued my unending stare at the floor even as Cadence got up and passed by, leaving a trail of tears in her wake.

"Honey, are you okay?" I heard Shining Armor ask her after she made her way back to him.

"I can already tell what memory you just got back, and it isn't one I hoped you would ever have to remember." Luna said to me sadly.

"She broke my heart Lulu. Not just once, but several times. First when she dumped me and next when she told me she was marrying that over-gloried piece of trash."

"Now you sound like Blueblood."

"Humph. After all these years we finally have something in common. A pity I had to learn it before I put his head on a pike." This seamed to surprise Luna, but before she could say anything, Shining Armor walked up with a frown on his face.

"You need to apologize to Cadence. Now."

"Hows about I take from the Crystal Empire a Prince and replace it with a Princess?" I turned to look at him and saw a red glow reflecting in his gaze, fear clearly taking hold of him. "How would you like that?" As my threat ended, he turned tail and rushed back to his wife, the only means of protection from me he has.

"Shadow, that wasn't nice."

"Yes, and he's lucky Mi Amore Cadenza is here, or else the threat would have been carried out already." I said with clear venom in my voice.

Luna sighed, and got up to move to another seat. I moved closer to the window and watched to see the city of Canterlot in the distance, at least another hour and a half away.

I decided I needed some air, and moved to the aisle. Making my way to the door, I didn't even look back as I heard somepony call my name, and slammed the door closed. The view was nice, but I decided I needed a greater amount of wind in my mane, so I did what any barely sane pony would do, and flew up to the roof. There really wasn't much more wind, but the peace and relative quiet was nice.

I sat in the center of the roof and closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing. I felt an immense amount of power flowing throughout my body, and instinctively I tapped into it. I felt it flow around me, reacting to my emotions, forming eddies in my mind's eye. Suddenly I heard my name being called and opened my eyes to see a raging storm and Luna trying her best to stay on the top of the train car as tornadoes passed around the train itself. I took a deep breath and the storm almost instantly calmed down, the tornadoes vanishing without a trace.

"Shadow, are you alright?" This question made me begin to think if she was really the one who was descending to madness and not me. Clearly I was at fault for the formation of the storm, and my fur wasn't even so much as moistened. Suddenly she brought me into a hug and began rubbing my back with a hoof.

"I know you're upset, and you have good reason to be, but taking it out on everypony you love and innocents won't make you feel better. It will just bring more guilt. I know, I've been there." After a short period, and against my better judgment, I pulled away.

"I'm sorry Lulu, but I need a little time to myself... I'll meet you at the castle." and after placing a kiss on her cheek, I spread my wings and flew off, going higher and higher until I was at the very peak of the mountain that cradled Canterlot far below. Once agan, I got into my meditative position, and felt my power flow...

This was a long one, I ended up maxing out my word limit on my notepad app on my phone for the first part. Hopefully you enjoy this as much as I did.
