They were soft, bending and flexing under your assault. Almost immediately, Princess Luna’s tongue presses forward between her lips and runs over yours, her saliva leaving a cool feel on your lips. For the first time, you can taste her. She is cool and refreshing, but unique, just like her scent. You press your tongue forward to taste hers; her body retreats as you continue the attack. She rolls on her back and you follow, your lips not once leaving contact with hers as your tongue explores her mouth. Breaking to breathe, you leave a chain of kisses up her long, regal horn before shuffling yourself down her body and forcing open her wings with your hooves. She gasps as you do, a hot blush covering her muzzle and cheeks as she looks up at you with loving, passion, and just a touch of trepidation. You had planned to continue teasing Princess Luna with kisses, but her gaze captures you. You simply stare into her deep, azure pools for several minutes with a soft smile. She returns the gesture. “Thank you for that, Princess.” “Please, call me Luna.” Proceed to Chapter 49. Chapter 46A year later, you sit on the outdoor pool/patio of your Chicacolt penthouse, sipping a drink made from expensive, imported spirits. You were still a bit of a night owl (an old relic from your days in the guard, It is important to take some time to relax, especially since there was so much to do over the next few days. You were producing a film and had to make an appearance at the set the day after tomorrow, not to mention the big party you were throwing at your place on Friday. The most eligible and attractive mares in all of Equestria would be there! You love your life. You had enough to bits to buy whatever you wished and travel the world to your heart’s content. Not to mention, you could pick out just about anypony who tickled your fancy and date them! Such were the perks of being the fourth wealthiest pony in Equestria. It wasn’t all great, of course. Yeah, you had ruined your chances with the only mare you had ever truly loved. Okay, so money had destroyed most of your positive character traits and tainted your sense of moral direction. Sure, you woke up every night screaming in a cold sweat from a recurring nightmare in which you relived the horrid day when Princess Luna sobbed in public court as she was confronted with the civil charges you had placed against her, and your five billion bits were carted out to you down the main thoroughfare of Canterlot. But really, who gives a shit? You’re friggin’ loaded! SECRET ENDING Chapter 2You steel your nerves and rotate towards Princess Luna as far as your nerves will allow. You fall to your front legs in a brief bow, saying, “Good evening Princess,” before standing up again at attention. Princess Luna’s ears perk up, and her eyes begin to display interest. She closes the gap between you and your mind begins to go fuzzy as you look into her entrancing indigo eyes. “You guards do talk, after all,” she says with a fleeting grin. “I don’t get many nice greetings at this late hour…” Proceed to Chapter 3. Chapter 4“I enjoy it immensely, Your Highness,” you tell her, shuffling a bit as you speak. “It’s a highly prestigious position.” Princess Luna lets out a few chuckles. “And I’m sure it’s not boring at all, since I’m the only pony you ever get to see and we normally do not speak.” She eyes you mischievously. “You guards are all business…” You swallow a lump in your throat as she continues to analyze you. Proceed to Chapter 6. Chapter 5“T-to be honest,” you begin, biting your lip in apprehension for a moment before continuing, “it’s not the most…interesting post. But, I-I’m of course quite grateful nonetheless.” Princess Luna smiles again. “Ah, your honesty is quite refreshing. Perhaps I’ll be able to help your career somewhat soon with a change of scenery, if you still feel this way in the future.” You murmur some faint, professional thanks before shutting your mouth again. Proceed to Chapter 6. Chapter 6Princess Luna tilts her head as she continues to look at you. Suddenly, she walks past you towards the doors to her chambers. “We’ll be speaking more in the future,” she says, opening the door and disappearing inside. Your eyes twitch as you think about what just happened. Did you just set yourself up for getting a pink slip, or get promoted? Or, an even more nerve-wracking possibility: did you just become Princess Luna’s friend? Proceed to Chapter 7. Chapter 7The next evening, you are slacking off at your position, staring out into the cool night through the window at the end of the hallway. You couldn’t get your interaction with Princess Luna the previous night out of your head. Did you make the right decisions, or did you destroy your chances before they even existed? The sound of hoofsteps coming down the marble hallway breaks your train of thought and you snap back to attention. Princess Luna comes briskly trotting down the hallway towards you. What was she doing back at her chambers so early!? It’s not even 2am! You’re not prepared to talk with her again...not yet! Luna’s voice regally carries the across the ten feet of cold hallway to your ears. “Hello again.” Before you know it, she’s closed the distance between you and walks in front of you to look you in the face. Drat. No chance of avoiding her investigating gaze. “I forgot to ask you your name, last night. Would you do your Princess the honor of telling us?” You stumble over the letters once, but by the second time you are able to clearly communicate your name to her. “That is a very fine name for a guard,” Luna muses, before returning her full attention to you. “I very much enjoyed our chat last night, and would like to speak more with you. Since I finished my duties early tonight, I would like for you to accompany me on a night stroll through the castle gardens.” You blink a few times, being blindsided by her statement. “As in, now. Post-haste,” she clarifies upon seeing your startled expression. If you want to accept her invitation, proceed to Chapter 8. If you want to decline her invitation, proceed to Chapter 9. If you want to remain silent, proceed to Chapter 10. Chapter 8You barely have time to nod in affirmation before Princess Luna springs into action. “Ah, excellent!” she cries, grabbing one of your forehooves briefly to tug you in the right direction, “I knew that you were a pony of action! We must make the most of the evening.” “O-of course, Your Highness, we should never waste a second of any night,” you ingratiate as you attempt to match your pace with hers. Luna looks back at you in approval. “How right you are!” She leads you around a corner, through an arch and into the castle gardens. Proceed to Chapter 11. Chapter 9“I…I don’t think that would be appropriate, Your Highness,” you reluctantly tell her. “I’m only a guard, and it is not my place to accompany you on such a walk. Plus there is the possibility of disciplinary hearings to consider-“ Luna flashes you a smile and softens her expression. “But your Princess wills it. Is it not your job to serve our will?” If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna to the Gardens, proceed to Chapter 9.5. If you will remain steadfast in your refusal, proceed to Chapter 9E. Chapter 9ELuna sucks in a tight breath as you shake your head no. “Well, th-that is fine!” she replies quickly and a little too loudly. “We will, uh…G-go alone! Yes!” She trots a little too quickly down the hallway towards the gardens, leaving you alone outside her quarters. When she returns a scant five minutes later, she enters her chambers without talking to you, or even acknowledging your existence. Proceed to Chapter 44. Chapter 10EPrincess Luna scowls as you refuse to answer. “Not even a polite refusal!? Fine! Be that way!” she huffs, turning away from you and quickly slamming the door to her chambers. Uh oh. Proceed to Chapter 44. Chapter 12You tear your eyes away quickly and look toward the flowers, pretending to pay attention to their color and detail as Luna finishes her long-winded explanation and turns toward you. “We are so glad that you appreciate our flowers,” she says, staring at you with sparkling eyes and a broad smile. “Come now, the rest of the gardens beckon to us!” Proceed to Chapter 15. Chapter 13Your eyes run over Luna; her delicately shaped flanks, long, elegant legs, wispy tail…It’s enough to drive you wild. You bite your lip as your eyes widen to maximize the number of somewhat arousing photons hitting your retina. Unfortunately, in your trance you weren’t paying any attention to Princess Luna’s words. “Hello?” she asks, which jolts you back into the real world. She turns her body to face you, tearing it away from your line of sight. “Did you hear our question? What were you looking at, loyal servant?” Her expression makes her appear confused. If you wish to dodge the question in a demure manner, proceed to Chapter 13.5. If you wish to tell Princess Luna the truth about what you were doing, proceed to Chapter 14. Chapter 13.5“U-uh,” you say, your mind scrambling for a sufficient response, “I just lost my concentration and spaced out for a moment.” You manage a nervous smile. Luna studies you curiously for a moment before a slight grin begins to play at her lips. “Is that so?” she asks, her gaze changing and displaying something new. Was it…understanding? “Come along,” she continues, turning again to continue down the path, her hips swaying once before her gait normalized again. “There is still much more to see and discuss.” Proceed to Chapter 15. Chapter 14“I was caught up looking at you,” you say confidently. “Looking at me?” Princess Luna asks, tilting her head. “But I was facing the oth-“ She stops speaking and an awkward silence reigns for several seconds. “…Oh,” she finishes, her eyes crinkling in thought and a slight blush across her cheeks. The rest of your walk through the gardens was uneventful…and silent. Proceed to Chapter 44. Chapter 15You waltz happily with Princess Luna through the rest of the royal gardens, the conversation becoming lighter and more pleasant with each passing minute. After a little less than a half hour, she takes a seat on a bench beside the central fountain and beckons you to join her, which you do. “I have very much enjoyed your company this evening,” she tells you. “The nights can get a little lonely, and…well, let’s just say that the flowers show more of their beauty, if you have somepony to share the sight with.” A soft, genuine smile graces her muzzle. Despite some lingering nervousness, you copy her smile almost perfectly. “Thank you for inviting me, Your Highness.” You spend the next few minutes staring at the arcing jets of water erupting from the ancient stone edifice. It is peaceful beyond your ability to comprehend. The serenity of the moment is shattered by a quiet, demure yawn from Princess Luna, which prompts her to stand up from the bench and perform a light stretch. “The night grows old, and the day cometh soon. Would you be so kind as to accompany me back to my chambers?” Proceed to Chapter 17. Chapter 16You look at the white crescent on Princess Luna’s flank, and an impish grin works its way onto your muzzle. “Your moon is very beautiful, Your Highness,” you tell her, quickly shifting your gaze to the glowing white orb in the sky. “Hmm?” she inquires, turning around and following the line of your gaze into the sky. “Oh! You noticed! I brought the moon about a percent closer than normal and rotated it about three degrees. It hides the maria and increases the surface’s reflectance, which is why it appears slightly larger and brighter tonight.” She regards you with an impressed smile and a raised eyebrow. “It takes quite a trained eye to pick out that difference, you know. Are you classically trained in astronomy?” You grin and hoof-bump yourself mentally for getting away with that, suppressing the urge to press your luck again by conjuring up some absurd butt/astronomy double entendre. “No ma’am. Beginners luck, I assure you.” Her smile grows wider and her other eyebrow raises itself as well. “I am impressed. A guard with a knack for astronomy and an appreciation for the aesthetic value of flowers is a rare commodity indeed.” Without letting her smile falter, she places a wing around you and leads you into another area of the garden, your sides touching as you walk. “Just do not refer to me as ‘Ma’am’ again. It makes me feel old,” she tells you, in what you assume is half-jest. You waltz happily with Princess Luna through the rest of the royal gardens, the conversation becoming lighter and more pleasant with each passing minute. Not once does she remove her wing from around your midsection, nor does she pull her side away from yours. After a little less than a half hour, she takes a seat on a bench beside the central fountain and beckons you to join her, which you do. “I have very much enjoyed your company this evening,” she tells you. “The nights can get a little lonely, and…well, let’s just say that the flowers show more of their beauty, if you have somepony to share the sight with.” A soft, genuine smile graces her muzzle. “And that’s not even mentioning the first compliment I’ve gotten about my night sky in weeks.” Despite some lingering nervousness, you copy her smile almost perfectly. “Thank you for inviting me, Your Highness.” Princess Luna gently leans her head against yours, and leaves it there, practically paralyzing you. You spend the next few minutes staring at the arcing jets of water erupting from the ancient stone edifice. It is peaceful beyond your ability to comprehend. The serenity of the moment is shattered by a quiet, demure yawn from Princess Luna, which prompts her to stand up from the bench and perform a light stretch. “The night grows old, and the day cometh soon. Would you be so kind as to accompany me back to my chambers?” Proceed to Chapter 17. Chapter 19“Well, Your Highness, perhaps you could visit me in my dreams?” you ask as blood rushes to your face. “I-I’ve heard you can do that, and-“ “Consider it done,” Princess Luna tells you, cutting you off. “I can spare a little time to do just that; not many foals have nightmares during the daytime, anyway.” She turns around and closes the door behind her without another word. It felt a little abrupt, but…was it meant to be? You were a little nervous and curious, but nonetheless you fall asleep almost as quickly as your head hits the pillow after you get back to the barracks. Just as your fuzzy thoughts about the day begin to coalesce into a dream, Princess Luna suddenly arrives, which seems to clear your mind. You feel almost as sharp as when you were awake, but with a strange sensation that you were floating. “Hello there,” she says with a warm smile. “Here, as promised.” You look her up and down for a moment. “How can I be sure you’re really Princess Luna, and not just my dream version of her?” Her eyes widen at the thought. “Ah, an excellent question! And one that I am asked far too infrequently!” She waves a hoof and immediately you are transported to a scene depicting what appears to be an edgy teenage Princess Celestia with black highlights yelling that she’s serious about wanting to conquer and enslave other territories. “It isn’t ‘just a phase’, Starswirl!” she cries through some thick, metal doors. Princess Luna turns to you. “So embarrassing! This actually happened, by the way. I wasn’t the first one to come up with the idea of turning evil. Just the first to implement it.” By the way her right ear droops as she speaks, you can tell that she’s depressed herself with her own words. Time to move the conversation along. “So you can change dreams. My own psyche would be able to do that too, right?” Princess Luna rolls her eyes and uses her magic to clear away the cringy theater show. “Look, I came out to your dream because that’s the reward you wanted. You don’t have to trust me…” She leans in and narrows her eyes at you, “but it’s not wise to reject a Princess’ gift, especially when you are to see her tomorrow during your shift. So, art thou feeling lucky, knave?” You force your demeanor to change instantaneously after an extremely brief cost-benefit analysis. “Your Highness,” you beam nervously, “so glad you could make it! Thank you for coming!” She tilts her head and smiles, closing her eyes as she does so. You notice she doesn’t pull back from her previously intimidating position. “You are most welcome. What do you have planned for me?” Your eyes widen and you crane your neck around the blank dreamscape. “Uh…planned?” “It’s your dream. You can make whatever world you wish. I, of course, can as well, although I assume since you asked me here…” “N-no worries!” you tell her a little too loudly as your brain scrambles for purchase. “I-I have something great in mind!" If you wish to create a picnic, proceed to Chapter 19P. If you wish to create the royal gardens from earlier today, proceed to Chapter 19G. If you wish to create a hoofball game, proceed to Chapter 19H. Chapter 19PYou think with all your might, and soon you and Princess Luna are standing on a simple but charming hilltop overlooking a sweetly-colored sunset. A picnic basket adorns a nearby checkered blanket. “Ooohhh!” Princess Luna gasps, skipping over to the blanket and sitting on her haunches before you can issue any sort of invitation or explanation. “I love picnics! They are so unassuming that they hold intrinsic charm!” You sit down next to her and open the basket, removing some light foodstuffs and a cold bottle of cider to share. “Daisy Sandwiches?” Luna asks with an amused grin and a sparkling, curious expression. “How delightfully proletarian!” Throughout the rest of the illusory meal, Princess Luna slowly repositions herself close to you, and by the time that the last rays of the sun disappear, her side is touching yours. You open your eyes, revealing the cold barracks dormitory around you. Proceed to Chapter 21.5. Chapter 19GYou focus on the past few hours and conjure up your best recreation of the castle gardens. Princess Luna looks around and raises a curious eyebrow at you. “We were just here, together. Why this?” “Well of course we were just here,” you nervously scoff. “That was…on purpose.” “But what reason could we have to return so soon to…” Princess Luna’s eyes suddenly shine with understanding. “Ah! I see! It is an ironic, self-referential piece of dream art! First the flowers and now this; you are a classy one!" She takes in the scenery for another moment. "Let me try next!” Princess Luna’s magic morphs the dream world, and in a few moments you are standing outside the doors to her chambers. “What do you think of that!?” she asks proudly. “Wow,” you say, covering your mouth with a hoof and feigning understanding of the current social dynamic. “It’s very…self…residential.” For the next while, you and the Princess take turns creating works of postmodern dream art. Some are actually thought provoking, while most are simply strange. One of your creations, in which Canterlot Castle is turned upside down and balancing on one of its spires while an incredibly large Prince Blueblood continually cries in anguish in the background, puts Princess Luna in stitches. Eventually her howling laughter infects you, as well. The next thing you know, your bunkmate is shaking you awake and asking what is so funny. You nearly smack him. Proceed to Chapter 21.5. Chapter 19HYou create a hoofball game in a large stadium, complete with thousands of cheering fans. Princess Luna immediately leaps out of her blue plastic stadium seat next to you. “HAHA! YES! This sport combines my two favorite recreational past-times: non-lethal but nonetheless debilitating violence, and nachos. Before I took my leave 1,000 years ago, nachos had just been invented and had yet to be combined with violence of any sort. What fun!” You think a little harder and materialize a plastic tray of nachos and a cold bottled cider for her. Princess Luna dips one of the chips in the corner reservoir of cheese and places it delicately into her mouth. “Not just any cheese sauce, but spicy cheese sauce!” She turns to you with an appreciative smile and clinks her bottle of cider against yours using her magic. “You spoil your Princess.” You spend the rest of the game bonding with the entrancing indigo sovereign. You consider it to be a success, although the game ended on a sour note, with Canterlot losing to Manehattan 21-18. It was a dirty win. The ball was definitely underinflated. You’re still mad when you wake up. Proceed to Chapter 21.5. Chapter 21.5You spend most of your shift the next day contemplating the time you spent with Princess Luna the day prior. Things had definitely changed between the two of you, and big time. “Oh, no!” You hear Princess Luna lament from around the corner. She turns into the main hallway, carrying a thick stack of paper with her. She trots right up to you and puts on her best worried expression. “I need your help!” “Of course, Your Highness!” This was what you were trained to do, after all. She walks slowly past you towards the window a few feet away, her tail slowly brushing over the tip of your muzzle. Your muzzle scrunches up at its soft, alluring touch. “Have you heard the news?” she asks, looking back and forcing her bottom lip to quiver artificially. “No. Please give me a sitrep.” “Look!” Luna shoves the paper into your face, revealing it to be newsprint. You read the headline: ‘Canterlot Crime Rate Skyrockets: petty theft charges increase 400% over last month.’ “Isn’t it horrible!?” she asks you. “Canterlot is a very safe city,” you tell her with a furrowed brow. “There were only two petty theft cases all last month, so this is probably more a statistical anomaly than-“ “It’s terrible!” she answers for you, placing a hoof to her forehead and looking analytically at you for just a moment before readopting her horrified expression. “I don’t feel safe in my own room anymore. If only there was somepony who could protect me…” She places her hoof on your chest, just above where your metal armor ends, and rubs it in slow circles as she pouts. “Somepony that I trust. Preferably big, strong…” She leans in towards your ear, “Brave, easy on the eyes…” She gasps and her eyes widen with scripted simultaneity as she readjusts her focus on you. “You could protect me! Could you come inside my chambers and watch over me tonight?” If you wish to agree, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to explain that she is more powerful than you and that the royal guards serve more of an aesthetic and symbolic purpose than a practical one, proceed to Chapter 23. Chapter 22Princess Luna clops her hooves together excitedly and leads you inside her chambers. “Oh, thank you! I feel so safe now!” When she closes the door behind you, she uses her magic to begin untying the thick twine clasps on your armor. “P-princess?” you gasp, dumbfounded. “I have a pre-bedtime tradition,” she tells you, gesturing with a hoof toward a loveseat and magical black box at the far corner of the room. “I always play video games before bed, and I need you to cling tightly to me as I do it.” She gives you a sly smile. “To reduce the surface area available to a would-be assassin. You understand it wouldn’t be comfortable to do so with your armor.” “But without my armor I’m just a living pony shield!” Her eyes flash with intrigue. “Indeed. Do you object to the plan?” she asks, leaning in towards you to look deep into your eyes. Her scent wafts towards you and makes you a little lightheaded. A few pieces of your armor clattering to the ground. “O-of course not, Your Highness. I’m here to serve.” “Wonderful,” she whispers heavily, her mane tracing patterns over your ear as she pulls away from you. She elegantly turns around and walks toward the seating area, setting up her game. You follow her, removing your helmet and placing it delicately next to the rest of your armor. When she is finished, she turns to you. “Dear protector, you may know better than me. How would you suggest that you protect me?” If you wish to encourage Princess Luna to decide, proceed to Chapter 24. If you wish to suggest that you hold Princess Luna from behind while seated, proceed to Chapter 25. If you wish to suggest that you spoon together (with you as the big spoon), proceed to Chapter 26. If you wish to suggest that you spoon together (with you as the little spoon), proceed to Chapter 27. If you wish to suggest you sit side-by-side to snuggle up, proceed to Chapter 28. Chapter 23“You’re the Princess,” you tell her matter-of-factly. “I may be well trained, but I can’t do anything compared to your magical power!” Princess Luna’s expression falls a little bit before she clears her throat and puts on another vulnerable face for you. “Untrue! You’re so strong and brave that I’m certain you could make me safer. Please?” She places a hoof on your foreleg to accentuate her point. If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna inside, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to continue explaining how little value you would add to any dangerous situation (since she seems to just not get it), proceed to Chapter 47. Chapter 25After telling the Princess of your recommendation, she smiles and saunters slowly over to the cushy loveseat, using her magic to make it a touch shorter so it functions more like a large recliner. You stumble in it to sit down, and Princess Luna wastes no time in sitting in front of you. You gingerly wrap your hooves around her as she begins to play her video game. Eventually, she begins leaning into you with more and more of her weight, and you gain some courage, tightening your hold around her midsection with one hoof while placing the other on her hip above her cutie mark. Princess Luna wiggles her rear just a touch, prompting you to begin rubbing your hoof in soft, tiny circles. She seems to enjoy it, letting out occasional hums as she blasts bad buys with a wireless controller. Proceed to Chapter 29. Chapter 26You recommend that you lay down and cradle the Princess from behind. “Oh, what an excellent idea,” she says, nudging you into the couch. You get the hint and lie down, turning on your side to face Princess Luna’s expensive-looking magic crystal television. She lies down in a similar fashion, pressing herself into you and floating a blanket over to cover you up as she begins to play her game. With one hoof caught under Princess Luna’s neck (and her mane tickling the entire corresponding foreleg), your options are limited. You decide on placing a hoof on her soft tummy, which is covered by downy coat. You begin rubbing gently up and down as you hold her to you, soliciting a purr from her. After a few minutes she begins pressing herself into you more deeply. In particular, her flanks press against the crook of yours and her tail flows freely between your legs, causing you to tense the muscles within. You instinctively place a hoof just above Princess Luna’s cutie mark, and she lets out a soft hum of approval, pushing into you again as she completes a particularly difficult level. Proceed to Chapter 29. Chapter 27You recommend that you lay down and that the Princess holds you from behind. “That way both your front and back are protected from potential attacks,” you nervously explain, grasping for suitable reasoning. Princess Luna’s cheeks heat up and she sighs in an exasperated fashion, although she is unable to hide her smile. “Well, okay… I guess that I can do so, if only for my safety’s sake.” She lays herself down lengthwise on the couch, prompting you to do the same. Her hooves shoot around you, pulling you exceptionally close to her as she begins playing the video game with her magic. Her hooves dance over your chest and midsection, rubbing in all manner of patterns. As her gameplay progresses, she also gradually pulls you tighter and tighter to yourself, to the point where you feel you are inside of a fluffy straight jacket. Something in the game irritates her, and she growls before clenching her hooves tighter, crushing your body against hers. It is uncomfortable, but highly galvanizing, and you find yourself humming gently under the pressure. Hearing your happy noises, Luna’s tail bends its way between your legs, reaching up so that the tip can begin caressing your tummy. Her tail’s whole length is pressed against your body tightly and comfortably. Her grip relents after she beats a mid-level boss, but her tail remains where it is. Proceed to Chapter 29. Chapter 29Eventually, Princess Luna saves her game and stretches a bit before craning her neck to look back at you. “It is my bedtime now, but I’m too stressed to fall asleep. What would you suggest I do, most loyal protector?” If you would like to offer Princess Luna a massage to ease her tense muscles, proceed to Chapter 30. If you would like to recommend that Luna take a hot bath to relax herself, proceed to Chapter 31. Chapter 31“Yes!” Princess Luna affirms, trotting over to the nearby entrance to her bathroom. “A bath does indeed sound like a wonderful idea.” She opens the door and you see her lean down to turn on the hot water in her ornate, marble bathtub which is inlaid in the tile floor. She peaks her head out the doorway and raises an eyebrow. “Well? Aren’t you coming?” If you wish to enter the bathroom with Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 35. If you wish to remain outside the bathroom, proceed to Chapter 36. Chapter 32You err on the side of caution, and finish rubbing Princess Luna’s back. She happily sighs throughout the process. When you step off of the bed she makes what sounds like a disappointed groan, but turns her head to smile at you anyway. “That was…adequate.” You tilt your head curiously at her. She stands up. “Follow me,” she says, walking back toward her chamber doors. Proceed to Chapter 48. Chapter 33You gently lower your haunches and press your body into her back. She tenses up for just a moment but soon relaxes, flaring out her wings. “Ahhhh,” she sighs into the blankets. You begin running your hooves teasingly along her sides, and she tenses them up as you do. Perhaps she is ticklish? Separating your back legs so you can straddle her flanks, you boldly lean forward to take in the scent of her mane. You inhale several times; each time is more intoxicating than the last. Without warning, Princess Luna flips over so that you are lying on her front and looks into your eyes with determination and a degree of hunger. She sits up and pushes you back over so that your head hits her pillows. Crawling over to you, she places the tip of her muzzle against yours and meets your gaze with the same expression as before. Proceed to Chapter 40. Chapter 35“As you wish, Princess,” you dutifully reply, following her onto the cold white tiles in her restroom. She grins at you mischievously and shuts the door behind you with her magic. The bathtub is full not a moment after, and she closes the spigot and steps into the steaming water, taking no notice that you are there watching her. Proceed to Chapter 37. Chapter 36“N-no, I-I don’t think it’s appropriate!” you stutter, taking a step backward. “Nonsense!” she cries. “What if I am to be attacked while in the bath? I would be defenseless! You are coming with me, it is your duty!” You feel your hooves heat up as friction between them and the floor, caused by the Princess’ magic aura applying force to your body, signals your ever-hastening approach to the restroom. A moment later, you collapse on the cold tile and Princess Luna shuts the door behind you. You shake your head to clear it of the fuzziness from the impact, and when you look up, Princess Luna is gingerly stepping into the bath. She sighs in ecstasy as she lowers the majority of her body underwater. Next, she opens her eyes and looks right into yours. Proceed to Chapter 37. Chapter 37You are entranced and unable to look away as Princess Luna closes her eyes and lowers her head into the bath. She remains submerged for a few seconds before her head exits the water in the same slow, deliberate manner as it entered. Your mouth is agape as you observe her. Her wet mane now sticks and clings tightly to her upper body, the stars within dimmed significantly. Drops of water coagulate and fall off of her mane and muzzle and make small splashes in the water below. She opens her eyes and smiles sweetly at you, batting her eyelashes twice. “Most loyal protector, it seems as if I’ve forgotten the soap on the counter behind you,” she coos. “Could you bring it to me? I would be most grateful…” You gingerly lift the alabaster bar off of the ornate, shining jade counter and walk over to the tub, leaning down to very carefully place the soap within the Princess’ reach so as to not- A shove is applied to your rear by some unknown force and you flail, struggling desperately not to fall in the tub with the Princess. That would definitely be the end of your career! Unfortunately, you are coordinated enough to know that you’re falling over, whether you like it or not. As a latch ditch effort to rescue yourself, you shoot your hooves forward to catch yourself on the other side of the bathtub…and just barely make it! Your extended body trembles as you struggle to stay above the water. Princess Luna giggles. “That was certainly close!” While you can’t see her face, you do hear her horn light up and feel your back hooves slowly slipping in a magical aura…until you fall in the bathtub, flank first. “Oops,” Princess Luna responds coyly, wrapping a hoof around you. “That looked like it may have hurt a little. Is my loyal protector alright?” You spin your head around to look into her lidded eyes. She had gone under the water without removing her eye shadow, which left radiating sky-blue streaks around her eyelids. Something about her gaze, and the colors that framed it, was spectacularly attractive. After croaking a few times in confusion, you finally respond. “Y-yes, Princess, I am fine.” You almost stand up immediately to exit but think better of doing so before you say one more thing. “A-are you alright?” Princess Luna beams widely and wraps her other hooves around you, pulling your back firmly against hers. “Oh wonderful,” she says, purring into your ear. “You can protect me *so* much better here…” She floats the soap over to her and places it in her hoof, running it slowly over your tummy. You feel something warm on your already wet neck. Soon you realize that she's gently kissing up and down your neck, and you shiver in delight. Your whole body is frozen in ecstasy. How are you going to respond? If you wish to retain your composure under Princess Luna’s teasing assault, proceed to Chapter 38. If you wish to encourage her as she keeps toying with you, proceed to Chapter 39. Chapter 38You struggle with all your willpower to resist the Princess’ advances. You are, after all, a Royal Guard, and it is your duty to remain professional as you protect the Princess. After another minute, you are able to sit straight at attention, without any movements, as she attempts to break you her kisses. Soon, she gives up with a huff and steps out of the bathtub, drying herself off quickly. She casts an analytic look back at your still-submerged body in the tub, seeming to note it’s every detail for a few seconds before turning away and walking out the door and back into her chambers. “Meet me by my chamber entryway,” she calls to you from outside. Taking a moment to get out and dry off, you follow her orders. Proceed to Chapter 48. Chapter 40You can feel Princess Luna’s hot breath wash over your muzzle. You can see the hunger in her eyes. You feel her hoof rest heavily on your side as if she owns you. You can feel your heartbeat. You feel your body heat up. You feel the blood rush to your face. You feel that something should happen. If you wish to kiss Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 41. If you wish to take your time and consider the situation, proceed to Chapter 42. Chapter 42You simply continue to stare in awe at Princess Luna. After a few moments, she growls in frustration and a sinister grin creeps onto her lips. “Fine,” she says, drawing her muzzle closer to yours. “I much prefer submissive toys, anyway.” She rolls you over onto your back and presses her lips to yours in a hungry kiss. Her hooves run up and down your body, exploring it roughly. Your heart literally skips beats as Princess Luna overpowers you with her affection. Her scent fills your nostrils at the same time her touch and taste occupy your thoughts. She pins your legs down and bites your neck playfully, causing you to squirm. Then, she breaks the kiss and looks deep into your eyes. “From now on, you are my toy and will do just as I say. No more holding back, no more trepidation. Do you understand your Princess?” You gulp down a few breaths and nod. “What would you have me do, my Princess?” She smiles in approval. “Good. You understand already.” She lays her head down onto your chest and nuzzles into you. “You will hold us tightly as we sleep and are not allowed to leave this bed.” You nod slowly. “Do not nod yet, knave,” she orders with authority. “I am not finished. We want to feel loved. Make us feel that way.” That night, using kisses, body rubs, and cuddles, you do just that. Proceed to Chapter 49. Chapter 43Princess Luna halts in her tracks and turns to you slowly, her muzzle scrunched up in confusion. She blinks, observing you for several seconds as you stare back at her. She opens her mouth to speak…Then closes it, her lips making a soft wet sound as they meet each other. Then she opens her mouth again. “You’re fired.” What made you think that that was a good idea!? WORST ENDING Chapter 44You continue on the next evening at your post, disappointed that Princess Luna seemed displeased with you the day prior. When Princess Luna comes to her chambers that night, she doesn’t make eye contact, nor speak with you, nor acknowledge your presence in any way. The same happens the next night. Then the next. A week later you receive a letter from the royal guard captain transferring you to the front hall. It is the most prestigious post in the castle and comes along with a pay raise and possible promotion, but moving away from Princess Luna breaks your heart. Even more so because you can’t shake the feeling that she arranged your transfer. BAD ENDING Chapter 45Princess Luna is surprised by your kiss and gasps into it. Breaking away quickly, she places her forehead against yours affectionately. “I am pleased that you have found our reward suitable,” she purrs. “But if we are going to do this, it should be slow. I haven’t dated in over a thousand years, after all.” You slowly nod in affirmation, nuzzling her face with your muzzle. “Of course. I would be thrilled to take you on another walk through the gardens; that is, if I will see you tomorrow night?” Princess Luna responds with a hearty chuckle, pulling you into a short hug. “Where else would I be?” GOOD ENDING Chapter 47“I really think you’re overestimating me here,” you continue. “Compared to your own magical prowess, I really don’t contribute anything positive to the defense equation.” Princess Luna blinks a few times. “O-of course,” she says as her expression wilts. “I-I had just thought that you…N-nevermind.” Her ears press to the sides of her head. “C-continue on as before, my loyal protector.” You shoot her a salute. “Absolutely, Your Highness!” Each night after that point, Princess Luna would come up and greet you with a furtive glance and a small, sad smile, which you would return. You two, both apparently lonely souls, seemed to have a special connection with each other. Whenever your mind entertained the thought that things could have been different between you, you shook your head to clear it away. After all, did you really think that you’d ever be able to be with a Princess of Equestria? SAD ENDING Chapter 48Princess Luna presses you against the wall next to her chamber door, and pushes her muzzle into your ear. “You have proven yourself to be a strong player of this game,” she compliments, her breath makes you shiver. “But rest assured, when I place my mind on something that I want, I get it.” She pulls back and then places the tip of her muzzle against yours. “You may a tough nut to crack, but I will do so, given time. I crack nuts like nopony’s business.” You are only half-successful in suppressing a chuckle, and a sound like a cross between a scoff and a snort escapes your mouth. “Is something funny!?” Princess Luna snaps at you. “N-no Your Highness,” you reply, biting your lip to keep from smiling. “Very well!” she huffs. “I shall see you tomorrow evening.” With that, she pulls you into a passionate, passionately haphazard kiss which lasts for several seconds. You barely have a chance to register the taste of her soft, warm lips before she shoves you out the door with her magic. She shoots you a wink before slamming the door shut. Your eyes are so wide that you look like somepony has just told you that aliens do exist and are kept under a secret government facility below Las Pegasus. Regardless, you know that whatever is happening between you and Princess Luna is real. And not ending anytime soon. GREAT ENDING Chapter 50 (BONUS)Princess Celestia strides briskly yet regally down the ornate, carpeted hallway in the same region of the castle which held the royal gardens. She has to cross the whole castle to get to her next appointment in a rarely used meeting room on the top floors of the third tower, and is already a touch out of breath due to exerting herself. A strange sound emanates from a side hallway and Princess Celestia immediately halts in place, her ears flicking in the direction of the hallway. Waiting a few seconds, she hears something again. Sort of like…A moan? Narrowing her eyes, Celestia gently and quietly hoofs her way down the side hallway leading to her sister Luna’s quarters. Princess Celestia wasn’t a nosy pony, of course. She was a highly respected and beloved ruler with nothing to prove and no need for gossip material, after all. However, that didn’t mean she couldn’t check up on her sister to make sure she was okay… Gently placing an ear against the uncomfortably cold steel door, Princess Celestia listens closely. After a few moments, her ears pick up something and she is able to decipher some words. “…My…your hooves…splendid…toy,” Luna says in a tone quite foreign to her sister’s ears. Princess Celestia nudges the door open and sticks only her muzzle into the room. “L…Luna?” she calls. There is no answer. The definitely-not-nosy Princess Celestia walks further into the room, her eyes scanning it for any sign that something is not normal. Her hooves stop whenever words are heard coming out of the bathroom. They are now clear enough to be heard: “My my, you must be working out, because you’re looking particularly chiseled and ravishing this evening…Why don't you come in?...Mmmmm, do you like my perfume? Oh, you're such a good kisser..." Whatever little part of Princess Celestia was still protective of her younger sister swung the restroom door open with her magic, revealing a startled and blushing Princess Luna standing in front of the mirror. Princess Luna lets out a startled shriek and hurls the manebrush that she had been holding in her magic. The hard purple object smacks Princess Celestia square in the eye, causing her to shriek and fumble backward into Princess Luna’s video game area, sending discs flying and Celestia to fall right down on her Neightendo Switch. “My new Switch!” Princess Luna yells, darting over to hold the shattered remains of her console. “WHY!? HE WAS SO YOUNG!” She turned her attention to Princess Celestia with a scowl. “You destroyed my favorite gaming nook with your fat butt!” she accused, softly and reassuringly caressing her destroyed console next to the butt mark clearly visible on its surface. Princess Celestia, a hoof still covering her rapidly bruising eye, wasted no time in replying. “You hit me with your manebrush! I’m lucky you didn’t kill me!” “Why were you in my room in the first place!?” “Because I heard you making strange moans and flirty talk in the bathroom from all the way out in the main hallway! What on earth were you doing!?” Princess Luna’s muzzle scrunches up as a heavy blush invades her face. She looks down and gently clops her hooves together. “I…was practicing. I have a date tonight.” “A date? With who?” Whistling happily, you round the corner into the room the next moment, calling for your boss. “Luna, dear, I finished those requisition orders and just wanted to-“ You stop dead in your tracks as you come upon the strangest sight you had ever seen. Discs and video game paraphernalia were scattered everywhere, and a couch cushion seemed to have been launched more than ten feet from the loveseat. Princess Luna had tears running down her cheeks and a heavy blush on her face as she gently caressed a completely destroyed gaming console, the ground littered with shattered plastic from its casing. For her part, Princess Celestia’s mane was in tatters, her left eye was turning a very Luna-esque shade of bluish purple, and she appeared to be furious. “If this is a bad time I can come back later,” you say nonchalantly. Princess Luna’s eyes dart between you and her sister at least seven or eight times, and she bites her lip as she attempts to remain stoic. Princess Celestia only looks at you once before shifting her gaze back to her sister, her eyes displaying sudden understanding. “Oh, no. Really, Luna? That’s your date?” You frown. What’s wrong with dating somepony like you!? “Hey, love wants what love wants!” Princess Luna snaps back at her sister. “Isn’t that what you say about that human who follows you around like a lovesick puppy?” Princess Celestia’s muzzle scrunches up in embarrassment and her cheeks turn a little red. “Don’t you bring him into this!” Princess Celestia and Princess Luna then shove their muzzles right into each other’s and begin a very, very intense staring contest. “…I won’t tell if you won’t tell.” “Deal.” You stand confused and a little upset as you observe the duo’s disagreement drawing to a close among the smoking ruins of what was once a respectable entertainment center. “I’m not cleaning this up,” you say defiantly. Princess Luna looks over at you with a raised eyebrow. “You will be if you want any cuddles this week.” You attempt to remain unfazed for a few seconds, but eventually sigh in defeat. “Yes, Mistress Moon…" PERFECT/LMAO FAM U WHIPPED NOW ENDING Chapter 9.5You can’t help but smile and bow. “As you wish, Your Highness.” Princess Luna grins. “I knew you’d come around. I just had to get past that rough guard exterior.” She turns tail to walk down the hallway to the gardens, and you begin to follow her. “I have a theory that all you guards are soft and friendly under that shell,” she muses without looking at you. “Then again, perhaps that analysis is only valid for you alone.” Proceed to Chapter 11. Chapter 10“Oh, the silent treatment?” she asks, looking at you with a peculiar mixture of bemusement and amusement. “You guards are too professional. Come now, you won’t have any fun, even with your Princess?" She pulls her muzzle a touch closer to yours and shoots you a spectacular pout. If you wish to remain silent, proceed to Chapter 10E. If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 9.5. IntroductionAuthor's Note The first one was well received, so here's a sequel! Perhaps there will be more to come in the future if this, too is well-liked. Suggest who comes next in the comments! There are six unique endings and (if my dubious calculations are correct) upwards of 1.6 million different unique paths that the story can take! Can you get all the endings? Can you get the Perfect ending on the first try? Can you find the secret ending without cheating? Introduction You are a royal night guard. You’ve spent a while serving in different posts throughout the castle, but it was only recently that you were promoted to the post outside of Princess Luna’s door. You had always admired the Princess from afar in your work, and of course you heard stories about her kindness and her mysterious nature; however, it has only been in the past few days in your new post that you have garnered an appreciation for Princess Luna’s beauty. When she walks by you, your heart begins to flutter in your chest, and your normally laser-sharp focus, honed by much training, goes completely fuzzy. To make a long story short, you’re pretty sure that you’ve got a serious crush on your magical, powerful, ultra attractive…boss. It’s towards the end of your shift when Princess Luna comes trotting down the hallway. Every muscle in your body tenses as you snap to attention: you were already at attention, of course, but what you’re doing now transcends normal posture. You notice out of the corner of your eye that Princess Luna doesn’t quite seem her composed self; her head trails along near the ground, and you can hear her metallic shoes scrape against the marble floors. Your peripheral vision isn’t that good, but you even get an inkling that there are bags under her eyes. She slowly approaches the doors to her chamber, which are right next to you. This is your chance to say something! If you want to ask her how her day was, proceed to Chapter 1. If you want to simply bow and give her a greeting, proceed to Chapter 2. If you want to tell her that she’s hot, proceed to Chapter 43. Chapter 1“Good evening, Princess,” you say, still facing straight forward. “If I am not overstepping my bounds, c-could I ask how your night was?” Luna’s ears perk up; the movement is significant enough that you can pick it up in your peripheral vision. She turns her head to gaze at the side of your face. You don’t dare breathe, or make eye contact. You continue to stare straight ahead. “Well, well,” she begins, letting out a single snort of amusement which sounds almost like a giggle, “You guards can talk, after all.” “Yes, Your Highness,” you reply, your face beginning to turn red from concentration. She takes a step towards you. “At ease, loyal servant. ‘Twas only a quip from me, I do indeed know you can talk.” You force yourself to relax just a little bit and face the Princess as she continues. “It was a long night,” she says, groaning a little bit. “Much more work to be done than usual.” Her eyes begin to sparkle with appreciation as she looks at you. “Not many ponies ask me how my evenings are,” she tells you thoughtfully, albeit without any smile. Your mind begins to go fuzzy again as you look into her entrancing indigo eyes. Proceed to Chapter 3. Chapter 3Princess Luna actually smiles, and you find yourself exhaling a breath you didn’t know you were holding. “There is something about you that I like,” she muses as she studies your eyes. Being so close to her is causing your heart to bang against your chest repeatedly. Princess Luna takes a half step back, and the smile falls off of her face. “Tell me, loyal protector, do you enjoy having this post outside my chambers?” If you want to stretch the truth and tell her Yes, proceed to Chapter 4. If you want to be completely honest and express your reservations, proceed to Chapter 5. Chapter 11You crane your neck around as you and Princess Luna trot slowly through the gardens. They are impeccably well kept, of course, and of significantly smaller size and more concentrated in their beauty than the public-access Royal Gardens located stories below. Princess Luna tells you a bit about her day, pausing often to give you chances to respond. You keep your responses brief, still unsure about the limits of your newfound freedom. “Come on, now,” Princess Luna tells you, giving you a gentle push with a hoof. Her expression’s furrowed brow and gentle pout betrays her mild displeasure. “Talk to me! I want the company!” You relax a little more. “Of course, Princess.” You gaze at your surroundings to find a topic of interest. “These roses are beautiful, and quite unique,” you say, gesturing to some deep purple roses in a bed nearby. Princess Luna smiles. “Thank you!” she beams, leaning down to sniff one of the roses. “I requested them myself. Scientific name Rosa nocturnis, but you might know them as Shadow Roses. I used to have a vase of these placed in my room every night when I was a filly, and-“ Luna’s excited monologue fades into the background as your vision and concentration become fuzzy. In her buzzing about her special roses, the Princess has squatted and tensed in such a way that you have a full view of her backside (and the rest of her body). Her cutie mark’s subtle beauty and color complementarity are issuing a siren’s call to your eyes. If you want to look away quickly to show respect to Luna, proceed to Chapter 12. If you want to stare at Luna’s body, proceed to Chapter 13. If you want to tease Luna (with plausible deniability), proceed to Chapter 16. Chapter 17When you finish the short, pleasant walk to the large double doors leading into Princess Luna’s chambers, she stops and twirls around to face you with a smile. “Thank you for a lovely evening,” she says, the stars of her billowing mane seeming to frame her face. “I have had such fun- you have served your Princess well. It is only fitting that you receive a reward.” You open your mouth to offer a canned protest to her statement but she immediately places a hoof on your lips, causing you to look down at the jewel on her hoof adornment with crossed eyes and a blush across your muzzle. “Uhp-uhp-uhp,” she says, silencing you preemptively. “I know what you are going to say- do not protest! Your Princess truly desires to give you a reward, so do not try and convince me otherwise.” She places her hoof back down on the floor and leans her muzzle in towards you. “Now, what would you like as recompense for exceeding my expectations?” Your muzzle scrunches up as you think. There are so many choices, but you have to make one soon! If you wish to tell Princess Luna that her very presence was reward enough, proceed to Chapter 18. If you wish to ask Princess Luna to visit you in your dreams during the daytime, proceed to Chapter 19. If you wish to ask Princess Luna for a farewell hug, proceed to Chapter 20. Chapter 18“Just spending time with you was reward enough, Your Highness,” you tell her with a nervous smile in which you bite your lip a little too hard. Princess Luna rolls her eyes at you, but a suppressed smile plays at her muzzle. “Well, fine. If you don’t want to tell us what you’d like…we shall think up a suitable reward ourselves.” With that, she enters her chambers and closes the door behind her. Thirty minutes later, towards the end of your shift, Princess Luna opens the door. “Come in, loyal guard,” she says, waving you in with a hoof. “I have found a reward for you.” As soon as you set your first hoof inside the room’s threshold, her magic grasps you and whips you inside, closing the door behind you. Before you know what is happening, your helmet is ripped off and thrown to the floor, and Luna presses you against the wall. Her lips press to yours in a hungry kiss. Her lips lock deeply with yours immediately, bypassing any soft introduction. Your mind blurs as your heart rate skyrockets. When she finally pulls away from you, you can feel and taste her saliva coating your lips. She grins sheepishly and averts her eyes slightly as you catch your breath. “We…I…hope that this was satisfactory payment for your services,” she tells you. “I’m actually sorry…Normally, I would never do something like this, but our walk together got me excited, and…” She lets out an exasperated sigh, her shoulders sagging with stress. “You won’t tell anypony what I did, will you?” If you wish to kiss Princess Luna back, proceed to Chapter 45. If you wish to sue Princess Luna for sexual harassment, proceed to Chapter 46. Chapter 20Princess Luna’s eyes widen but her smile remains stationary. “A hug? Truly, that is all that you wish of me?” You nod, a touch unnerved by her less-than-clear response. She embraces you, pulling you close to her. While your guard armor prevents your chest from touching hers, your muzzle is pressed tightly into her neck, allowing you to inhale her unique, cool scent. Her mane covers your face, keeping you from seeing anything but the magical, starry sky that always follows her no matter where she goes. Your body begins to heat up from the contact. The hug lasts far longer than any hug normally does, allowing you to appreciate and (crucially) lock it in your memory for later recall. Princess Luna seems to be enjoying herself too, humming occasionally, swaying a little bit, and even nuzzling the side of your face once. After a few minutes when she finally pulls away, she issues you a soft goodnight, complete with a warm smile and a wink, and closes the door, leaving you alone again. Proceed to Chapter 21. Chapter 39You press your hooves against the porcelain at the bathtub, forcing your neck back against her kisses. She makes her next move by pressing her lips deeply into your neck, massaging your skin between her lips. Smacking sounds invade your ears as she eats into your neck, and you let out a happy groan. “Are you happy, loyal protector?” “Y-yes,” you gulp. “P-please go to my ear.” She moves up, running her tongue along the length of your ear. She lets out a chuckle as you shiver. Soon she pushes you away and steps out of the bathtub. “Dry me,” she orders, tossing a towel on your head. You lament that your teasing boss has left you unfulfilled. Stepping out of the tub still overwhelmed by the experience, you grab the towel and begin roughly drying off her body. Princess Luna simply makes soft, submissive sounds as you dry her with coarse rubs of the towel. Suddenly, she attempts to maintain her composure. “Cease, and follow me,” she says. Throwing open the door with her magic, she proceeds toward her bed in the room, and you follow. Using her magic, she throws you on the mattress and lets out a hungry growl, jumping after you. She lies on her side next to you and presses her muzzle to yours, staring into your eyes with a deep, teasing glare. Proceed to Chapter 40. Chapter 21You spend most of your shift the next day contemplating the time you spent with Princess Luna the day prior. Things had definitely changed between you, and big time. “Oh, no!” You hear Princess Luna lament from around the corner. She turns into the main hallway, carrying a thick stack of paper with her. She trots right up to you and puts on her best worried expression. “I need your help!” “Of course, Your Highness!” This was what you were trained to do, after all. “Have you heard the news?” she cries, forcing her bottom lip to quiver artificially. “No. Please give me a sitrep.” “Look!” Luna shoves the paper into your face, revealing it to be newsprint. You read the headline: ‘Canterlot Crime Rate Skyrockets: petty theft charges increase 400% over last month.’ “Isn’t it horrible!?” she asks you. “Canterlot is a very safe city,” you tell her with a furrowed brow. “There were only two petty theft cases all last month, so this is probably more a statistical anomaly than-“ “It’s terrible!” she answers for you, placing a hoof to her forehead and looking analytically at you for just a moment before readopting her horrified expression. “I don’t feel safe in my own room anymore. If only there was somepony who could protect me…” She gasps and her eyes widen with scripted simultaneity as she readjusts her focus on you. “You could protect me! Could you come inside my chambers and watch over me tonight?” If you wish to agree, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to explain that she is more powerful than you and that the royal guards serve more of an aesthetic and symbolic purpose than a practical one, proceed to Chapter 23. Chapter 24“I yield to your wisdom, Princess.” She smiles and saunters slowly over to the cushy loveseat, using her magic to make it a touch shorter so it functions more like a large recliner. She relaxes into it slowly, spreading her hind legs to make a V-shaped area, and pats the chair with a deep grin. You swallow the lump in your throat and walk over, turning around slowly to sit. Before you can, Princess Luna’s magic nabs you tightly and pulls you into her. You immediately make contact with her fluffy chest, noticing that she has removed her normal regalia. All four of her hooves shoot around you. Her back hooves wrap around yours, trapping you in place, while her front hooves begin caressing your chest softly. Your entire face turns red and you can barely breathe; the attention is mostly unexpected and entirely far too much for your crush-stricken heart to handle. You feel soft fabric in contact with you as Luna floats a blanket to cover you. Placing her head on your right shoulder, her magic comes in contact with a controller and she whispers, “Now let us play a game together.” The first couple of minutes of the game pass by without too much activity. You are not paying attention to the game itself, of course, savoring Princess Luna’s touch. Soon she readjusts her muzzle deeper on her shoulder, and now you can feel each and every breath, her damp, hot exhalations rushing over the hairs on your neck. It feels so pleasurable that you have to suppress a moan in the far back of your throat every several seconds. You squirm under the feeling, and the tantalizing prospect of her lips closing the last half an inch of space between them and your neck. Princess Luna pauses the game. “Oh, are you alright, darling?” she whispers in your ear, her smooth voice and choice of words causing another shiver to course through your body. Suddenly, you feel her tail slide around your left side and slowly run over your tummy, making you tense it. “Are you comfortable enough?” You manage only an affirmative squeak in reply. “Oh, good. I was a touch concerned.” Eventually, Princess Luna saves her game and yawns, wrapping her hooves around your midsection in a hug and resting her head where your head meets your front right leg. “I can’t quite go to bed yet,” she says, yawning. “I’m still so stressed about this dangerous crime wave…" She uses a hoof to turn your head to look at her. "I think... I’ll take a bath.” You stand up and Princess Luna follows. Proceed to Chapter 31. Chapter 28You recommend that you sit side by side with the Princess. She tilts her head and flashes a soft smile at you before sitting on the loveseat and patting the region next to her. Sitting down, you feel Princess Luna’s wing wrap around you and pull you into close contact with her. Her soft feathers caress and even occasionally tickle your back and sides, and you already feel your warmth being retained by their downy quality. Feeling yourself blush, you place your hoof over one of hers. In response, she places hers over yours, creating a sandwich in which she gently massages your hoof between hers. Princess Luna picks up her controller and begins to play. Aside from the sound of the game, the only sounds heard are the content sighs that occasionally emanate from you both. Proceed to Chapter 29. Chapter 30“Oh, a massage sounds simply delightful,” she tells you, waltzing over to her bed and lying down with her hooves on the pillows and her head toward the hoofboard. “I do so despise having to leave my room for pampering treatment.” You walk over to her bed. Standing by the side, you reach your forehooves over to begin rubbing her back. “Uhp-uhp-uhp!” she stops you. “Such an angle is entirely unacceptable!” You look at your outstretched hooves, then Princess Luna’s sleek, inviting form lying on the bed. “So…What do I do?” “Climb up,” she orders you before turning her head back to the front and exhaling softly. Gingerly, and with no small amount of hesitation, you climb up onto the bed, standing above the Princess’ form and straddling either side of her. Gently, you press your hooves down into the region of her back which lies between her wings. She lets out a happy moan and immediately clears her throat. “Excuse us,” she tells you, doing her best to look back but not make eye contact. “That was not meant to be vocalized.” Her actions certainly identified the primary area where work was needed. More gently, you knead your hooves into the same region of her back, rubbing out the tense muscles in tight little circles. She melts under your touch and sighs happily Suppressing a chuckle, you begin to work your way up her back to the higher areas, running them over the area more softly. Princess Luna closes her eyes and hums as the massage turns more into a gentle backrub designed to share touch rather than improve flexibility. Princess Luna begins to gently, almost imperceptibly, rock her body side to side. She also spreads her legs to put them in contact with your hind hooves. Is the massage becoming boring for her? Is she suggesting that you are allowed to do more? If you wish to avoid risk and stay the course in your massage techniques, continue on to Chapter 32. If you wish to lie on top of Princess Luna and rub her sides, proceed to Chapter 33. If you wish to massage Princess Luna’s flanks, proceed to Chapter 34. Chapter 34Gently, as if doing it too fast would provoke her, you lay your hooves on Princess Luna’s flanks- indeed, right on the crescents of her cutie marks- and press into the tissue, beginning to move in gentle, expanding circles. Princess Luna makes strange sound that could best be described as the cross between a moan and a growl. “My my...” she begins, talking into the ornate hoofboard at the foot of her bed, “Such boldness. I don’t recall asking for you to touch us there…” Your circular hoof movements slowly grind to a halt. Uh oh. You’ve done it now, bud! Without warning, Princess Luna flips over so that you are lying on her front and looks into your eyes with determination and a degree of hunger. She sits up and pushes you back over so that your head hits her pillows. Crawling over to you, she places the tip of her muzzle against yours and meets your gaze with the same expression as before. Proceed to Chapter 40. Chapter 49You place the last flower in the ornate glass vase and fluff them up. Stepping back, you carefully observe your work. She’ll love it. “Who will love it, my brave soldier?” You whip around to find Princess Luna’s form standing elegantly behind you. Her face, as usual, holds a smug and knowing smile. “I told you not to do that!” you cry. “Daydreams are still dreams,” she answers. “And I will continue policing you until such time as you stop your incessant romantic thoughts about me while on the clock.” You blush and look away from her. You had gotten a promotion to Princess Luna’s personal guard and assistant soon after your first kiss, but it didn’t distract you from the ever-present fact that she was in charge. “Do you want your Heart’s and Hooves Day present or not, Lulu?” Now it’s her turn to blush. “You know I don’t like that name. To you, I am Luna. Or, if you’d prefer, Mistress Moon.” The blushing contest is getting old quickly, and you end it by shoving a hoof in the direction of the flowers you had gotten her. “Oh, look,” she says with a smile, lifting a hoof to caress the purple petals. “Shadow roses, my favorite.” She turns her gaze to you and gives you a soft, loving kiss on the lips which lasts almost ten seconds. “What a wonderful gift. I got you something too, you know.” “Really!?” you ask with delight, whipping your head around the room to try and spy it. “What is it?” Princess Luna lets out a soft giggle and leans her muzzle in close to your ear. “I actually bought you several!" Silence reigns for a moment. “All you have to do, my loyal protector, is choose.” PERFECT ENDING If you wish, proceed to Chapter 50 (BONUS). Author's Note I decided to add a bonus chapter. Let me know who you want to see in a CYOA next in the comments.
Chapter 41You lurch forward, pressing your lips into Luna’s. They were soft, bending and flexing under your assault. Almost immediately, Princess Luna’s tongue presses forward between her lips and runs over yours, her saliva leaving a cool feel on your lips. For the first time, you can taste her. She is cool and refreshing, but unique, just like her scent. You press your tongue forward to taste hers; her body retreats as you continue the attack. She rolls on her back and you follow, your lips not once leaving contact with hers as your tongue explores her mouth. Breaking to breathe, you leave a chain of kisses up her long, regal horn before shuffling yourself down her body and forcing open her wings with your hooves. She gasps as you do, a hot blush covering her muzzle and cheeks as she looks up at you with loving, passion, and just a touch of trepidation. You had planned to continue teasing Princess Luna with kisses, but her gaze captures you. You simply stare into her deep, azure pools for several minutes with a soft smile. She returns the gesture. “Thank you for that, Princess.” “Please, call me Luna.” Proceed to Chapter 49.
Chapter 46A year later, you sit on the outdoor pool/patio of your Chicacolt penthouse, sipping a drink made from expensive, imported spirits. You were still a bit of a night owl (an old relic from your days in the guard, It is important to take some time to relax, especially since there was so much to do over the next few days. You were producing a film and had to make an appearance at the set the day after tomorrow, not to mention the big party you were throwing at your place on Friday. The most eligible and attractive mares in all of Equestria would be there! You love your life. You had enough to bits to buy whatever you wished and travel the world to your heart’s content. Not to mention, you could pick out just about anypony who tickled your fancy and date them! Such were the perks of being the fourth wealthiest pony in Equestria. It wasn’t all great, of course. Yeah, you had ruined your chances with the only mare you had ever truly loved. Okay, so money had destroyed most of your positive character traits and tainted your sense of moral direction. Sure, you woke up every night screaming in a cold sweat from a recurring nightmare in which you relived the horrid day when Princess Luna sobbed in public court as she was confronted with the civil charges you had placed against her, and your five billion bits were carted out to you down the main thoroughfare of Canterlot. But really, who gives a shit? You’re friggin’ loaded! SECRET ENDING
Chapter 2You steel your nerves and rotate towards Princess Luna as far as your nerves will allow. You fall to your front legs in a brief bow, saying, “Good evening Princess,” before standing up again at attention. Princess Luna’s ears perk up, and her eyes begin to display interest. She closes the gap between you and your mind begins to go fuzzy as you look into her entrancing indigo eyes. “You guards do talk, after all,” she says with a fleeting grin. “I don’t get many nice greetings at this late hour…” Proceed to Chapter 3.
Chapter 4“I enjoy it immensely, Your Highness,” you tell her, shuffling a bit as you speak. “It’s a highly prestigious position.” Princess Luna lets out a few chuckles. “And I’m sure it’s not boring at all, since I’m the only pony you ever get to see and we normally do not speak.” She eyes you mischievously. “You guards are all business…” You swallow a lump in your throat as she continues to analyze you. Proceed to Chapter 6.
Chapter 5“T-to be honest,” you begin, biting your lip in apprehension for a moment before continuing, “it’s not the most…interesting post. But, I-I’m of course quite grateful nonetheless.” Princess Luna smiles again. “Ah, your honesty is quite refreshing. Perhaps I’ll be able to help your career somewhat soon with a change of scenery, if you still feel this way in the future.” You murmur some faint, professional thanks before shutting your mouth again. Proceed to Chapter 6.
Chapter 6Princess Luna tilts her head as she continues to look at you. Suddenly, she walks past you towards the doors to her chambers. “We’ll be speaking more in the future,” she says, opening the door and disappearing inside. Your eyes twitch as you think about what just happened. Did you just set yourself up for getting a pink slip, or get promoted? Or, an even more nerve-wracking possibility: did you just become Princess Luna’s friend? Proceed to Chapter 7.
Chapter 7The next evening, you are slacking off at your position, staring out into the cool night through the window at the end of the hallway. You couldn’t get your interaction with Princess Luna the previous night out of your head. Did you make the right decisions, or did you destroy your chances before they even existed? The sound of hoofsteps coming down the marble hallway breaks your train of thought and you snap back to attention. Princess Luna comes briskly trotting down the hallway towards you. What was she doing back at her chambers so early!? It’s not even 2am! You’re not prepared to talk with her again...not yet! Luna’s voice regally carries the across the ten feet of cold hallway to your ears. “Hello again.” Before you know it, she’s closed the distance between you and walks in front of you to look you in the face. Drat. No chance of avoiding her investigating gaze. “I forgot to ask you your name, last night. Would you do your Princess the honor of telling us?” You stumble over the letters once, but by the second time you are able to clearly communicate your name to her. “That is a very fine name for a guard,” Luna muses, before returning her full attention to you. “I very much enjoyed our chat last night, and would like to speak more with you. Since I finished my duties early tonight, I would like for you to accompany me on a night stroll through the castle gardens.” You blink a few times, being blindsided by her statement. “As in, now. Post-haste,” she clarifies upon seeing your startled expression. If you want to accept her invitation, proceed to Chapter 8. If you want to decline her invitation, proceed to Chapter 9. If you want to remain silent, proceed to Chapter 10.
Chapter 8You barely have time to nod in affirmation before Princess Luna springs into action. “Ah, excellent!” she cries, grabbing one of your forehooves briefly to tug you in the right direction, “I knew that you were a pony of action! We must make the most of the evening.” “O-of course, Your Highness, we should never waste a second of any night,” you ingratiate as you attempt to match your pace with hers. Luna looks back at you in approval. “How right you are!” She leads you around a corner, through an arch and into the castle gardens. Proceed to Chapter 11.
Chapter 9“I…I don’t think that would be appropriate, Your Highness,” you reluctantly tell her. “I’m only a guard, and it is not my place to accompany you on such a walk. Plus there is the possibility of disciplinary hearings to consider-“ Luna flashes you a smile and softens her expression. “But your Princess wills it. Is it not your job to serve our will?” If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna to the Gardens, proceed to Chapter 9.5. If you will remain steadfast in your refusal, proceed to Chapter 9E.
Chapter 9ELuna sucks in a tight breath as you shake your head no. “Well, th-that is fine!” she replies quickly and a little too loudly. “We will, uh…G-go alone! Yes!” She trots a little too quickly down the hallway towards the gardens, leaving you alone outside her quarters. When she returns a scant five minutes later, she enters her chambers without talking to you, or even acknowledging your existence. Proceed to Chapter 44.
Chapter 10EPrincess Luna scowls as you refuse to answer. “Not even a polite refusal!? Fine! Be that way!” she huffs, turning away from you and quickly slamming the door to her chambers. Uh oh. Proceed to Chapter 44.
Chapter 12You tear your eyes away quickly and look toward the flowers, pretending to pay attention to their color and detail as Luna finishes her long-winded explanation and turns toward you. “We are so glad that you appreciate our flowers,” she says, staring at you with sparkling eyes and a broad smile. “Come now, the rest of the gardens beckon to us!” Proceed to Chapter 15.
Chapter 13Your eyes run over Luna; her delicately shaped flanks, long, elegant legs, wispy tail…It’s enough to drive you wild. You bite your lip as your eyes widen to maximize the number of somewhat arousing photons hitting your retina. Unfortunately, in your trance you weren’t paying any attention to Princess Luna’s words. “Hello?” she asks, which jolts you back into the real world. She turns her body to face you, tearing it away from your line of sight. “Did you hear our question? What were you looking at, loyal servant?” Her expression makes her appear confused. If you wish to dodge the question in a demure manner, proceed to Chapter 13.5. If you wish to tell Princess Luna the truth about what you were doing, proceed to Chapter 14.
Chapter 13.5“U-uh,” you say, your mind scrambling for a sufficient response, “I just lost my concentration and spaced out for a moment.” You manage a nervous smile. Luna studies you curiously for a moment before a slight grin begins to play at her lips. “Is that so?” she asks, her gaze changing and displaying something new. Was it…understanding? “Come along,” she continues, turning again to continue down the path, her hips swaying once before her gait normalized again. “There is still much more to see and discuss.” Proceed to Chapter 15.
Chapter 14“I was caught up looking at you,” you say confidently. “Looking at me?” Princess Luna asks, tilting her head. “But I was facing the oth-“ She stops speaking and an awkward silence reigns for several seconds. “…Oh,” she finishes, her eyes crinkling in thought and a slight blush across her cheeks. The rest of your walk through the gardens was uneventful…and silent. Proceed to Chapter 44.
Chapter 15You waltz happily with Princess Luna through the rest of the royal gardens, the conversation becoming lighter and more pleasant with each passing minute. After a little less than a half hour, she takes a seat on a bench beside the central fountain and beckons you to join her, which you do. “I have very much enjoyed your company this evening,” she tells you. “The nights can get a little lonely, and…well, let’s just say that the flowers show more of their beauty, if you have somepony to share the sight with.” A soft, genuine smile graces her muzzle. Despite some lingering nervousness, you copy her smile almost perfectly. “Thank you for inviting me, Your Highness.” You spend the next few minutes staring at the arcing jets of water erupting from the ancient stone edifice. It is peaceful beyond your ability to comprehend. The serenity of the moment is shattered by a quiet, demure yawn from Princess Luna, which prompts her to stand up from the bench and perform a light stretch. “The night grows old, and the day cometh soon. Would you be so kind as to accompany me back to my chambers?” Proceed to Chapter 17.
Chapter 16You look at the white crescent on Princess Luna’s flank, and an impish grin works its way onto your muzzle. “Your moon is very beautiful, Your Highness,” you tell her, quickly shifting your gaze to the glowing white orb in the sky. “Hmm?” she inquires, turning around and following the line of your gaze into the sky. “Oh! You noticed! I brought the moon about a percent closer than normal and rotated it about three degrees. It hides the maria and increases the surface’s reflectance, which is why it appears slightly larger and brighter tonight.” She regards you with an impressed smile and a raised eyebrow. “It takes quite a trained eye to pick out that difference, you know. Are you classically trained in astronomy?” You grin and hoof-bump yourself mentally for getting away with that, suppressing the urge to press your luck again by conjuring up some absurd butt/astronomy double entendre. “No ma’am. Beginners luck, I assure you.” Her smile grows wider and her other eyebrow raises itself as well. “I am impressed. A guard with a knack for astronomy and an appreciation for the aesthetic value of flowers is a rare commodity indeed.” Without letting her smile falter, she places a wing around you and leads you into another area of the garden, your sides touching as you walk. “Just do not refer to me as ‘Ma’am’ again. It makes me feel old,” she tells you, in what you assume is half-jest. You waltz happily with Princess Luna through the rest of the royal gardens, the conversation becoming lighter and more pleasant with each passing minute. Not once does she remove her wing from around your midsection, nor does she pull her side away from yours. After a little less than a half hour, she takes a seat on a bench beside the central fountain and beckons you to join her, which you do. “I have very much enjoyed your company this evening,” she tells you. “The nights can get a little lonely, and…well, let’s just say that the flowers show more of their beauty, if you have somepony to share the sight with.” A soft, genuine smile graces her muzzle. “And that’s not even mentioning the first compliment I’ve gotten about my night sky in weeks.” Despite some lingering nervousness, you copy her smile almost perfectly. “Thank you for inviting me, Your Highness.” Princess Luna gently leans her head against yours, and leaves it there, practically paralyzing you. You spend the next few minutes staring at the arcing jets of water erupting from the ancient stone edifice. It is peaceful beyond your ability to comprehend. The serenity of the moment is shattered by a quiet, demure yawn from Princess Luna, which prompts her to stand up from the bench and perform a light stretch. “The night grows old, and the day cometh soon. Would you be so kind as to accompany me back to my chambers?” Proceed to Chapter 17.
Chapter 19“Well, Your Highness, perhaps you could visit me in my dreams?” you ask as blood rushes to your face. “I-I’ve heard you can do that, and-“ “Consider it done,” Princess Luna tells you, cutting you off. “I can spare a little time to do just that; not many foals have nightmares during the daytime, anyway.” She turns around and closes the door behind her without another word. It felt a little abrupt, but…was it meant to be? You were a little nervous and curious, but nonetheless you fall asleep almost as quickly as your head hits the pillow after you get back to the barracks. Just as your fuzzy thoughts about the day begin to coalesce into a dream, Princess Luna suddenly arrives, which seems to clear your mind. You feel almost as sharp as when you were awake, but with a strange sensation that you were floating. “Hello there,” she says with a warm smile. “Here, as promised.” You look her up and down for a moment. “How can I be sure you’re really Princess Luna, and not just my dream version of her?” Her eyes widen at the thought. “Ah, an excellent question! And one that I am asked far too infrequently!” She waves a hoof and immediately you are transported to a scene depicting what appears to be an edgy teenage Princess Celestia with black highlights yelling that she’s serious about wanting to conquer and enslave other territories. “It isn’t ‘just a phase’, Starswirl!” she cries through some thick, metal doors. Princess Luna turns to you. “So embarrassing! This actually happened, by the way. I wasn’t the first one to come up with the idea of turning evil. Just the first to implement it.” By the way her right ear droops as she speaks, you can tell that she’s depressed herself with her own words. Time to move the conversation along. “So you can change dreams. My own psyche would be able to do that too, right?” Princess Luna rolls her eyes and uses her magic to clear away the cringy theater show. “Look, I came out to your dream because that’s the reward you wanted. You don’t have to trust me…” She leans in and narrows her eyes at you, “but it’s not wise to reject a Princess’ gift, especially when you are to see her tomorrow during your shift. So, art thou feeling lucky, knave?” You force your demeanor to change instantaneously after an extremely brief cost-benefit analysis. “Your Highness,” you beam nervously, “so glad you could make it! Thank you for coming!” She tilts her head and smiles, closing her eyes as she does so. You notice she doesn’t pull back from her previously intimidating position. “You are most welcome. What do you have planned for me?” Your eyes widen and you crane your neck around the blank dreamscape. “Uh…planned?” “It’s your dream. You can make whatever world you wish. I, of course, can as well, although I assume since you asked me here…” “N-no worries!” you tell her a little too loudly as your brain scrambles for purchase. “I-I have something great in mind!" If you wish to create a picnic, proceed to Chapter 19P. If you wish to create the royal gardens from earlier today, proceed to Chapter 19G. If you wish to create a hoofball game, proceed to Chapter 19H.
Chapter 19PYou think with all your might, and soon you and Princess Luna are standing on a simple but charming hilltop overlooking a sweetly-colored sunset. A picnic basket adorns a nearby checkered blanket. “Ooohhh!” Princess Luna gasps, skipping over to the blanket and sitting on her haunches before you can issue any sort of invitation or explanation. “I love picnics! They are so unassuming that they hold intrinsic charm!” You sit down next to her and open the basket, removing some light foodstuffs and a cold bottle of cider to share. “Daisy Sandwiches?” Luna asks with an amused grin and a sparkling, curious expression. “How delightfully proletarian!” Throughout the rest of the illusory meal, Princess Luna slowly repositions herself close to you, and by the time that the last rays of the sun disappear, her side is touching yours. You open your eyes, revealing the cold barracks dormitory around you. Proceed to Chapter 21.5.
Chapter 19GYou focus on the past few hours and conjure up your best recreation of the castle gardens. Princess Luna looks around and raises a curious eyebrow at you. “We were just here, together. Why this?” “Well of course we were just here,” you nervously scoff. “That was…on purpose.” “But what reason could we have to return so soon to…” Princess Luna’s eyes suddenly shine with understanding. “Ah! I see! It is an ironic, self-referential piece of dream art! First the flowers and now this; you are a classy one!" She takes in the scenery for another moment. "Let me try next!” Princess Luna’s magic morphs the dream world, and in a few moments you are standing outside the doors to her chambers. “What do you think of that!?” she asks proudly. “Wow,” you say, covering your mouth with a hoof and feigning understanding of the current social dynamic. “It’s very…self…residential.” For the next while, you and the Princess take turns creating works of postmodern dream art. Some are actually thought provoking, while most are simply strange. One of your creations, in which Canterlot Castle is turned upside down and balancing on one of its spires while an incredibly large Prince Blueblood continually cries in anguish in the background, puts Princess Luna in stitches. Eventually her howling laughter infects you, as well. The next thing you know, your bunkmate is shaking you awake and asking what is so funny. You nearly smack him. Proceed to Chapter 21.5.
Chapter 19HYou create a hoofball game in a large stadium, complete with thousands of cheering fans. Princess Luna immediately leaps out of her blue plastic stadium seat next to you. “HAHA! YES! This sport combines my two favorite recreational past-times: non-lethal but nonetheless debilitating violence, and nachos. Before I took my leave 1,000 years ago, nachos had just been invented and had yet to be combined with violence of any sort. What fun!” You think a little harder and materialize a plastic tray of nachos and a cold bottled cider for her. Princess Luna dips one of the chips in the corner reservoir of cheese and places it delicately into her mouth. “Not just any cheese sauce, but spicy cheese sauce!” She turns to you with an appreciative smile and clinks her bottle of cider against yours using her magic. “You spoil your Princess.” You spend the rest of the game bonding with the entrancing indigo sovereign. You consider it to be a success, although the game ended on a sour note, with Canterlot losing to Manehattan 21-18. It was a dirty win. The ball was definitely underinflated. You’re still mad when you wake up. Proceed to Chapter 21.5.
Chapter 21.5You spend most of your shift the next day contemplating the time you spent with Princess Luna the day prior. Things had definitely changed between the two of you, and big time. “Oh, no!” You hear Princess Luna lament from around the corner. She turns into the main hallway, carrying a thick stack of paper with her. She trots right up to you and puts on her best worried expression. “I need your help!” “Of course, Your Highness!” This was what you were trained to do, after all. She walks slowly past you towards the window a few feet away, her tail slowly brushing over the tip of your muzzle. Your muzzle scrunches up at its soft, alluring touch. “Have you heard the news?” she asks, looking back and forcing her bottom lip to quiver artificially. “No. Please give me a sitrep.” “Look!” Luna shoves the paper into your face, revealing it to be newsprint. You read the headline: ‘Canterlot Crime Rate Skyrockets: petty theft charges increase 400% over last month.’ “Isn’t it horrible!?” she asks you. “Canterlot is a very safe city,” you tell her with a furrowed brow. “There were only two petty theft cases all last month, so this is probably more a statistical anomaly than-“ “It’s terrible!” she answers for you, placing a hoof to her forehead and looking analytically at you for just a moment before readopting her horrified expression. “I don’t feel safe in my own room anymore. If only there was somepony who could protect me…” She places her hoof on your chest, just above where your metal armor ends, and rubs it in slow circles as she pouts. “Somepony that I trust. Preferably big, strong…” She leans in towards your ear, “Brave, easy on the eyes…” She gasps and her eyes widen with scripted simultaneity as she readjusts her focus on you. “You could protect me! Could you come inside my chambers and watch over me tonight?” If you wish to agree, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to explain that she is more powerful than you and that the royal guards serve more of an aesthetic and symbolic purpose than a practical one, proceed to Chapter 23.
Chapter 22Princess Luna clops her hooves together excitedly and leads you inside her chambers. “Oh, thank you! I feel so safe now!” When she closes the door behind you, she uses her magic to begin untying the thick twine clasps on your armor. “P-princess?” you gasp, dumbfounded. “I have a pre-bedtime tradition,” she tells you, gesturing with a hoof toward a loveseat and magical black box at the far corner of the room. “I always play video games before bed, and I need you to cling tightly to me as I do it.” She gives you a sly smile. “To reduce the surface area available to a would-be assassin. You understand it wouldn’t be comfortable to do so with your armor.” “But without my armor I’m just a living pony shield!” Her eyes flash with intrigue. “Indeed. Do you object to the plan?” she asks, leaning in towards you to look deep into your eyes. Her scent wafts towards you and makes you a little lightheaded. A few pieces of your armor clattering to the ground. “O-of course not, Your Highness. I’m here to serve.” “Wonderful,” she whispers heavily, her mane tracing patterns over your ear as she pulls away from you. She elegantly turns around and walks toward the seating area, setting up her game. You follow her, removing your helmet and placing it delicately next to the rest of your armor. When she is finished, she turns to you. “Dear protector, you may know better than me. How would you suggest that you protect me?” If you wish to encourage Princess Luna to decide, proceed to Chapter 24. If you wish to suggest that you hold Princess Luna from behind while seated, proceed to Chapter 25. If you wish to suggest that you spoon together (with you as the big spoon), proceed to Chapter 26. If you wish to suggest that you spoon together (with you as the little spoon), proceed to Chapter 27. If you wish to suggest you sit side-by-side to snuggle up, proceed to Chapter 28.
Chapter 23“You’re the Princess,” you tell her matter-of-factly. “I may be well trained, but I can’t do anything compared to your magical power!” Princess Luna’s expression falls a little bit before she clears her throat and puts on another vulnerable face for you. “Untrue! You’re so strong and brave that I’m certain you could make me safer. Please?” She places a hoof on your foreleg to accentuate her point. If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna inside, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to continue explaining how little value you would add to any dangerous situation (since she seems to just not get it), proceed to Chapter 47.
Chapter 25After telling the Princess of your recommendation, she smiles and saunters slowly over to the cushy loveseat, using her magic to make it a touch shorter so it functions more like a large recliner. You stumble in it to sit down, and Princess Luna wastes no time in sitting in front of you. You gingerly wrap your hooves around her as she begins to play her video game. Eventually, she begins leaning into you with more and more of her weight, and you gain some courage, tightening your hold around her midsection with one hoof while placing the other on her hip above her cutie mark. Princess Luna wiggles her rear just a touch, prompting you to begin rubbing your hoof in soft, tiny circles. She seems to enjoy it, letting out occasional hums as she blasts bad buys with a wireless controller. Proceed to Chapter 29.
Chapter 26You recommend that you lay down and cradle the Princess from behind. “Oh, what an excellent idea,” she says, nudging you into the couch. You get the hint and lie down, turning on your side to face Princess Luna’s expensive-looking magic crystal television. She lies down in a similar fashion, pressing herself into you and floating a blanket over to cover you up as she begins to play her game. With one hoof caught under Princess Luna’s neck (and her mane tickling the entire corresponding foreleg), your options are limited. You decide on placing a hoof on her soft tummy, which is covered by downy coat. You begin rubbing gently up and down as you hold her to you, soliciting a purr from her. After a few minutes she begins pressing herself into you more deeply. In particular, her flanks press against the crook of yours and her tail flows freely between your legs, causing you to tense the muscles within. You instinctively place a hoof just above Princess Luna’s cutie mark, and she lets out a soft hum of approval, pushing into you again as she completes a particularly difficult level. Proceed to Chapter 29.
Chapter 27You recommend that you lay down and that the Princess holds you from behind. “That way both your front and back are protected from potential attacks,” you nervously explain, grasping for suitable reasoning. Princess Luna’s cheeks heat up and she sighs in an exasperated fashion, although she is unable to hide her smile. “Well, okay… I guess that I can do so, if only for my safety’s sake.” She lays herself down lengthwise on the couch, prompting you to do the same. Her hooves shoot around you, pulling you exceptionally close to her as she begins playing the video game with her magic. Her hooves dance over your chest and midsection, rubbing in all manner of patterns. As her gameplay progresses, she also gradually pulls you tighter and tighter to yourself, to the point where you feel you are inside of a fluffy straight jacket. Something in the game irritates her, and she growls before clenching her hooves tighter, crushing your body against hers. It is uncomfortable, but highly galvanizing, and you find yourself humming gently under the pressure. Hearing your happy noises, Luna’s tail bends its way between your legs, reaching up so that the tip can begin caressing your tummy. Her tail’s whole length is pressed against your body tightly and comfortably. Her grip relents after she beats a mid-level boss, but her tail remains where it is. Proceed to Chapter 29.
Chapter 29Eventually, Princess Luna saves her game and stretches a bit before craning her neck to look back at you. “It is my bedtime now, but I’m too stressed to fall asleep. What would you suggest I do, most loyal protector?” If you would like to offer Princess Luna a massage to ease her tense muscles, proceed to Chapter 30. If you would like to recommend that Luna take a hot bath to relax herself, proceed to Chapter 31.
Chapter 31“Yes!” Princess Luna affirms, trotting over to the nearby entrance to her bathroom. “A bath does indeed sound like a wonderful idea.” She opens the door and you see her lean down to turn on the hot water in her ornate, marble bathtub which is inlaid in the tile floor. She peaks her head out the doorway and raises an eyebrow. “Well? Aren’t you coming?” If you wish to enter the bathroom with Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 35. If you wish to remain outside the bathroom, proceed to Chapter 36.
Chapter 32You err on the side of caution, and finish rubbing Princess Luna’s back. She happily sighs throughout the process. When you step off of the bed she makes what sounds like a disappointed groan, but turns her head to smile at you anyway. “That was…adequate.” You tilt your head curiously at her. She stands up. “Follow me,” she says, walking back toward her chamber doors. Proceed to Chapter 48.
Chapter 33You gently lower your haunches and press your body into her back. She tenses up for just a moment but soon relaxes, flaring out her wings. “Ahhhh,” she sighs into the blankets. You begin running your hooves teasingly along her sides, and she tenses them up as you do. Perhaps she is ticklish? Separating your back legs so you can straddle her flanks, you boldly lean forward to take in the scent of her mane. You inhale several times; each time is more intoxicating than the last. Without warning, Princess Luna flips over so that you are lying on her front and looks into your eyes with determination and a degree of hunger. She sits up and pushes you back over so that your head hits her pillows. Crawling over to you, she places the tip of her muzzle against yours and meets your gaze with the same expression as before. Proceed to Chapter 40.
Chapter 35“As you wish, Princess,” you dutifully reply, following her onto the cold white tiles in her restroom. She grins at you mischievously and shuts the door behind you with her magic. The bathtub is full not a moment after, and she closes the spigot and steps into the steaming water, taking no notice that you are there watching her. Proceed to Chapter 37.
Chapter 36“N-no, I-I don’t think it’s appropriate!” you stutter, taking a step backward. “Nonsense!” she cries. “What if I am to be attacked while in the bath? I would be defenseless! You are coming with me, it is your duty!” You feel your hooves heat up as friction between them and the floor, caused by the Princess’ magic aura applying force to your body, signals your ever-hastening approach to the restroom. A moment later, you collapse on the cold tile and Princess Luna shuts the door behind you. You shake your head to clear it of the fuzziness from the impact, and when you look up, Princess Luna is gingerly stepping into the bath. She sighs in ecstasy as she lowers the majority of her body underwater. Next, she opens her eyes and looks right into yours. Proceed to Chapter 37.
Chapter 37You are entranced and unable to look away as Princess Luna closes her eyes and lowers her head into the bath. She remains submerged for a few seconds before her head exits the water in the same slow, deliberate manner as it entered. Your mouth is agape as you observe her. Her wet mane now sticks and clings tightly to her upper body, the stars within dimmed significantly. Drops of water coagulate and fall off of her mane and muzzle and make small splashes in the water below. She opens her eyes and smiles sweetly at you, batting her eyelashes twice. “Most loyal protector, it seems as if I’ve forgotten the soap on the counter behind you,” she coos. “Could you bring it to me? I would be most grateful…” You gingerly lift the alabaster bar off of the ornate, shining jade counter and walk over to the tub, leaning down to very carefully place the soap within the Princess’ reach so as to not- A shove is applied to your rear by some unknown force and you flail, struggling desperately not to fall in the tub with the Princess. That would definitely be the end of your career! Unfortunately, you are coordinated enough to know that you’re falling over, whether you like it or not. As a latch ditch effort to rescue yourself, you shoot your hooves forward to catch yourself on the other side of the bathtub…and just barely make it! Your extended body trembles as you struggle to stay above the water. Princess Luna giggles. “That was certainly close!” While you can’t see her face, you do hear her horn light up and feel your back hooves slowly slipping in a magical aura…until you fall in the bathtub, flank first. “Oops,” Princess Luna responds coyly, wrapping a hoof around you. “That looked like it may have hurt a little. Is my loyal protector alright?” You spin your head around to look into her lidded eyes. She had gone under the water without removing her eye shadow, which left radiating sky-blue streaks around her eyelids. Something about her gaze, and the colors that framed it, was spectacularly attractive. After croaking a few times in confusion, you finally respond. “Y-yes, Princess, I am fine.” You almost stand up immediately to exit but think better of doing so before you say one more thing. “A-are you alright?” Princess Luna beams widely and wraps her other hooves around you, pulling your back firmly against hers. “Oh wonderful,” she says, purring into your ear. “You can protect me *so* much better here…” She floats the soap over to her and places it in her hoof, running it slowly over your tummy. You feel something warm on your already wet neck. Soon you realize that she's gently kissing up and down your neck, and you shiver in delight. Your whole body is frozen in ecstasy. How are you going to respond? If you wish to retain your composure under Princess Luna’s teasing assault, proceed to Chapter 38. If you wish to encourage her as she keeps toying with you, proceed to Chapter 39.
Chapter 38You struggle with all your willpower to resist the Princess’ advances. You are, after all, a Royal Guard, and it is your duty to remain professional as you protect the Princess. After another minute, you are able to sit straight at attention, without any movements, as she attempts to break you her kisses. Soon, she gives up with a huff and steps out of the bathtub, drying herself off quickly. She casts an analytic look back at your still-submerged body in the tub, seeming to note it’s every detail for a few seconds before turning away and walking out the door and back into her chambers. “Meet me by my chamber entryway,” she calls to you from outside. Taking a moment to get out and dry off, you follow her orders. Proceed to Chapter 48.
Chapter 40You can feel Princess Luna’s hot breath wash over your muzzle. You can see the hunger in her eyes. You feel her hoof rest heavily on your side as if she owns you. You can feel your heartbeat. You feel your body heat up. You feel the blood rush to your face. You feel that something should happen. If you wish to kiss Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 41. If you wish to take your time and consider the situation, proceed to Chapter 42.
Chapter 42You simply continue to stare in awe at Princess Luna. After a few moments, she growls in frustration and a sinister grin creeps onto her lips. “Fine,” she says, drawing her muzzle closer to yours. “I much prefer submissive toys, anyway.” She rolls you over onto your back and presses her lips to yours in a hungry kiss. Her hooves run up and down your body, exploring it roughly. Your heart literally skips beats as Princess Luna overpowers you with her affection. Her scent fills your nostrils at the same time her touch and taste occupy your thoughts. She pins your legs down and bites your neck playfully, causing you to squirm. Then, she breaks the kiss and looks deep into your eyes. “From now on, you are my toy and will do just as I say. No more holding back, no more trepidation. Do you understand your Princess?” You gulp down a few breaths and nod. “What would you have me do, my Princess?” She smiles in approval. “Good. You understand already.” She lays her head down onto your chest and nuzzles into you. “You will hold us tightly as we sleep and are not allowed to leave this bed.” You nod slowly. “Do not nod yet, knave,” she orders with authority. “I am not finished. We want to feel loved. Make us feel that way.” That night, using kisses, body rubs, and cuddles, you do just that. Proceed to Chapter 49.
Chapter 43Princess Luna halts in her tracks and turns to you slowly, her muzzle scrunched up in confusion. She blinks, observing you for several seconds as you stare back at her. She opens her mouth to speak…Then closes it, her lips making a soft wet sound as they meet each other. Then she opens her mouth again. “You’re fired.” What made you think that that was a good idea!? WORST ENDING
Chapter 44You continue on the next evening at your post, disappointed that Princess Luna seemed displeased with you the day prior. When Princess Luna comes to her chambers that night, she doesn’t make eye contact, nor speak with you, nor acknowledge your presence in any way. The same happens the next night. Then the next. A week later you receive a letter from the royal guard captain transferring you to the front hall. It is the most prestigious post in the castle and comes along with a pay raise and possible promotion, but moving away from Princess Luna breaks your heart. Even more so because you can’t shake the feeling that she arranged your transfer. BAD ENDING
Chapter 45Princess Luna is surprised by your kiss and gasps into it. Breaking away quickly, she places her forehead against yours affectionately. “I am pleased that you have found our reward suitable,” she purrs. “But if we are going to do this, it should be slow. I haven’t dated in over a thousand years, after all.” You slowly nod in affirmation, nuzzling her face with your muzzle. “Of course. I would be thrilled to take you on another walk through the gardens; that is, if I will see you tomorrow night?” Princess Luna responds with a hearty chuckle, pulling you into a short hug. “Where else would I be?” GOOD ENDING
Chapter 47“I really think you’re overestimating me here,” you continue. “Compared to your own magical prowess, I really don’t contribute anything positive to the defense equation.” Princess Luna blinks a few times. “O-of course,” she says as her expression wilts. “I-I had just thought that you…N-nevermind.” Her ears press to the sides of her head. “C-continue on as before, my loyal protector.” You shoot her a salute. “Absolutely, Your Highness!” Each night after that point, Princess Luna would come up and greet you with a furtive glance and a small, sad smile, which you would return. You two, both apparently lonely souls, seemed to have a special connection with each other. Whenever your mind entertained the thought that things could have been different between you, you shook your head to clear it away. After all, did you really think that you’d ever be able to be with a Princess of Equestria? SAD ENDING
Chapter 48Princess Luna presses you against the wall next to her chamber door, and pushes her muzzle into your ear. “You have proven yourself to be a strong player of this game,” she compliments, her breath makes you shiver. “But rest assured, when I place my mind on something that I want, I get it.” She pulls back and then places the tip of her muzzle against yours. “You may a tough nut to crack, but I will do so, given time. I crack nuts like nopony’s business.” You are only half-successful in suppressing a chuckle, and a sound like a cross between a scoff and a snort escapes your mouth. “Is something funny!?” Princess Luna snaps at you. “N-no Your Highness,” you reply, biting your lip to keep from smiling. “Very well!” she huffs. “I shall see you tomorrow evening.” With that, she pulls you into a passionate, passionately haphazard kiss which lasts for several seconds. You barely have a chance to register the taste of her soft, warm lips before she shoves you out the door with her magic. She shoots you a wink before slamming the door shut. Your eyes are so wide that you look like somepony has just told you that aliens do exist and are kept under a secret government facility below Las Pegasus. Regardless, you know that whatever is happening between you and Princess Luna is real. And not ending anytime soon. GREAT ENDING
Chapter 50 (BONUS)Princess Celestia strides briskly yet regally down the ornate, carpeted hallway in the same region of the castle which held the royal gardens. She has to cross the whole castle to get to her next appointment in a rarely used meeting room on the top floors of the third tower, and is already a touch out of breath due to exerting herself. A strange sound emanates from a side hallway and Princess Celestia immediately halts in place, her ears flicking in the direction of the hallway. Waiting a few seconds, she hears something again. Sort of like…A moan? Narrowing her eyes, Celestia gently and quietly hoofs her way down the side hallway leading to her sister Luna’s quarters. Princess Celestia wasn’t a nosy pony, of course. She was a highly respected and beloved ruler with nothing to prove and no need for gossip material, after all. However, that didn’t mean she couldn’t check up on her sister to make sure she was okay… Gently placing an ear against the uncomfortably cold steel door, Princess Celestia listens closely. After a few moments, her ears pick up something and she is able to decipher some words. “…My…your hooves…splendid…toy,” Luna says in a tone quite foreign to her sister’s ears. Princess Celestia nudges the door open and sticks only her muzzle into the room. “L…Luna?” she calls. There is no answer. The definitely-not-nosy Princess Celestia walks further into the room, her eyes scanning it for any sign that something is not normal. Her hooves stop whenever words are heard coming out of the bathroom. They are now clear enough to be heard: “My my, you must be working out, because you’re looking particularly chiseled and ravishing this evening…Why don't you come in?...Mmmmm, do you like my perfume? Oh, you're such a good kisser..." Whatever little part of Princess Celestia was still protective of her younger sister swung the restroom door open with her magic, revealing a startled and blushing Princess Luna standing in front of the mirror. Princess Luna lets out a startled shriek and hurls the manebrush that she had been holding in her magic. The hard purple object smacks Princess Celestia square in the eye, causing her to shriek and fumble backward into Princess Luna’s video game area, sending discs flying and Celestia to fall right down on her Neightendo Switch. “My new Switch!” Princess Luna yells, darting over to hold the shattered remains of her console. “WHY!? HE WAS SO YOUNG!” She turned her attention to Princess Celestia with a scowl. “You destroyed my favorite gaming nook with your fat butt!” she accused, softly and reassuringly caressing her destroyed console next to the butt mark clearly visible on its surface. Princess Celestia, a hoof still covering her rapidly bruising eye, wasted no time in replying. “You hit me with your manebrush! I’m lucky you didn’t kill me!” “Why were you in my room in the first place!?” “Because I heard you making strange moans and flirty talk in the bathroom from all the way out in the main hallway! What on earth were you doing!?” Princess Luna’s muzzle scrunches up as a heavy blush invades her face. She looks down and gently clops her hooves together. “I…was practicing. I have a date tonight.” “A date? With who?” Whistling happily, you round the corner into the room the next moment, calling for your boss. “Luna, dear, I finished those requisition orders and just wanted to-“ You stop dead in your tracks as you come upon the strangest sight you had ever seen. Discs and video game paraphernalia were scattered everywhere, and a couch cushion seemed to have been launched more than ten feet from the loveseat. Princess Luna had tears running down her cheeks and a heavy blush on her face as she gently caressed a completely destroyed gaming console, the ground littered with shattered plastic from its casing. For her part, Princess Celestia’s mane was in tatters, her left eye was turning a very Luna-esque shade of bluish purple, and she appeared to be furious. “If this is a bad time I can come back later,” you say nonchalantly. Princess Luna’s eyes dart between you and her sister at least seven or eight times, and she bites her lip as she attempts to remain stoic. Princess Celestia only looks at you once before shifting her gaze back to her sister, her eyes displaying sudden understanding. “Oh, no. Really, Luna? That’s your date?” You frown. What’s wrong with dating somepony like you!? “Hey, love wants what love wants!” Princess Luna snaps back at her sister. “Isn’t that what you say about that human who follows you around like a lovesick puppy?” Princess Celestia’s muzzle scrunches up in embarrassment and her cheeks turn a little red. “Don’t you bring him into this!” Princess Celestia and Princess Luna then shove their muzzles right into each other’s and begin a very, very intense staring contest. “…I won’t tell if you won’t tell.” “Deal.” You stand confused and a little upset as you observe the duo’s disagreement drawing to a close among the smoking ruins of what was once a respectable entertainment center. “I’m not cleaning this up,” you say defiantly. Princess Luna looks over at you with a raised eyebrow. “You will be if you want any cuddles this week.” You attempt to remain unfazed for a few seconds, but eventually sigh in defeat. “Yes, Mistress Moon…" PERFECT/LMAO FAM U WHIPPED NOW ENDING
Chapter 9.5You can’t help but smile and bow. “As you wish, Your Highness.” Princess Luna grins. “I knew you’d come around. I just had to get past that rough guard exterior.” She turns tail to walk down the hallway to the gardens, and you begin to follow her. “I have a theory that all you guards are soft and friendly under that shell,” she muses without looking at you. “Then again, perhaps that analysis is only valid for you alone.” Proceed to Chapter 11.
Chapter 10“Oh, the silent treatment?” she asks, looking at you with a peculiar mixture of bemusement and amusement. “You guards are too professional. Come now, you won’t have any fun, even with your Princess?" She pulls her muzzle a touch closer to yours and shoots you a spectacular pout. If you wish to remain silent, proceed to Chapter 10E. If you wish to relent and accompany Princess Luna, proceed to Chapter 9.5.
IntroductionAuthor's Note The first one was well received, so here's a sequel! Perhaps there will be more to come in the future if this, too is well-liked. Suggest who comes next in the comments! There are six unique endings and (if my dubious calculations are correct) upwards of 1.6 million different unique paths that the story can take! Can you get all the endings? Can you get the Perfect ending on the first try? Can you find the secret ending without cheating? Introduction You are a royal night guard. You’ve spent a while serving in different posts throughout the castle, but it was only recently that you were promoted to the post outside of Princess Luna’s door. You had always admired the Princess from afar in your work, and of course you heard stories about her kindness and her mysterious nature; however, it has only been in the past few days in your new post that you have garnered an appreciation for Princess Luna’s beauty. When she walks by you, your heart begins to flutter in your chest, and your normally laser-sharp focus, honed by much training, goes completely fuzzy. To make a long story short, you’re pretty sure that you’ve got a serious crush on your magical, powerful, ultra attractive…boss. It’s towards the end of your shift when Princess Luna comes trotting down the hallway. Every muscle in your body tenses as you snap to attention: you were already at attention, of course, but what you’re doing now transcends normal posture. You notice out of the corner of your eye that Princess Luna doesn’t quite seem her composed self; her head trails along near the ground, and you can hear her metallic shoes scrape against the marble floors. Your peripheral vision isn’t that good, but you even get an inkling that there are bags under her eyes. She slowly approaches the doors to her chamber, which are right next to you. This is your chance to say something! If you want to ask her how her day was, proceed to Chapter 1. If you want to simply bow and give her a greeting, proceed to Chapter 2. If you want to tell her that she’s hot, proceed to Chapter 43.
Chapter 1“Good evening, Princess,” you say, still facing straight forward. “If I am not overstepping my bounds, c-could I ask how your night was?” Luna’s ears perk up; the movement is significant enough that you can pick it up in your peripheral vision. She turns her head to gaze at the side of your face. You don’t dare breathe, or make eye contact. You continue to stare straight ahead. “Well, well,” she begins, letting out a single snort of amusement which sounds almost like a giggle, “You guards can talk, after all.” “Yes, Your Highness,” you reply, your face beginning to turn red from concentration. She takes a step towards you. “At ease, loyal servant. ‘Twas only a quip from me, I do indeed know you can talk.” You force yourself to relax just a little bit and face the Princess as she continues. “It was a long night,” she says, groaning a little bit. “Much more work to be done than usual.” Her eyes begin to sparkle with appreciation as she looks at you. “Not many ponies ask me how my evenings are,” she tells you thoughtfully, albeit without any smile. Your mind begins to go fuzzy again as you look into her entrancing indigo eyes. Proceed to Chapter 3.
Chapter 3Princess Luna actually smiles, and you find yourself exhaling a breath you didn’t know you were holding. “There is something about you that I like,” she muses as she studies your eyes. Being so close to her is causing your heart to bang against your chest repeatedly. Princess Luna takes a half step back, and the smile falls off of her face. “Tell me, loyal protector, do you enjoy having this post outside my chambers?” If you want to stretch the truth and tell her Yes, proceed to Chapter 4. If you want to be completely honest and express your reservations, proceed to Chapter 5.
Chapter 11You crane your neck around as you and Princess Luna trot slowly through the gardens. They are impeccably well kept, of course, and of significantly smaller size and more concentrated in their beauty than the public-access Royal Gardens located stories below. Princess Luna tells you a bit about her day, pausing often to give you chances to respond. You keep your responses brief, still unsure about the limits of your newfound freedom. “Come on, now,” Princess Luna tells you, giving you a gentle push with a hoof. Her expression’s furrowed brow and gentle pout betrays her mild displeasure. “Talk to me! I want the company!” You relax a little more. “Of course, Princess.” You gaze at your surroundings to find a topic of interest. “These roses are beautiful, and quite unique,” you say, gesturing to some deep purple roses in a bed nearby. Princess Luna smiles. “Thank you!” she beams, leaning down to sniff one of the roses. “I requested them myself. Scientific name Rosa nocturnis, but you might know them as Shadow Roses. I used to have a vase of these placed in my room every night when I was a filly, and-“ Luna’s excited monologue fades into the background as your vision and concentration become fuzzy. In her buzzing about her special roses, the Princess has squatted and tensed in such a way that you have a full view of her backside (and the rest of her body). Her cutie mark’s subtle beauty and color complementarity are issuing a siren’s call to your eyes. If you want to look away quickly to show respect to Luna, proceed to Chapter 12. If you want to stare at Luna’s body, proceed to Chapter 13. If you want to tease Luna (with plausible deniability), proceed to Chapter 16.
Chapter 17When you finish the short, pleasant walk to the large double doors leading into Princess Luna’s chambers, she stops and twirls around to face you with a smile. “Thank you for a lovely evening,” she says, the stars of her billowing mane seeming to frame her face. “I have had such fun- you have served your Princess well. It is only fitting that you receive a reward.” You open your mouth to offer a canned protest to her statement but she immediately places a hoof on your lips, causing you to look down at the jewel on her hoof adornment with crossed eyes and a blush across your muzzle. “Uhp-uhp-uhp,” she says, silencing you preemptively. “I know what you are going to say- do not protest! Your Princess truly desires to give you a reward, so do not try and convince me otherwise.” She places her hoof back down on the floor and leans her muzzle in towards you. “Now, what would you like as recompense for exceeding my expectations?” Your muzzle scrunches up as you think. There are so many choices, but you have to make one soon! If you wish to tell Princess Luna that her very presence was reward enough, proceed to Chapter 18. If you wish to ask Princess Luna to visit you in your dreams during the daytime, proceed to Chapter 19. If you wish to ask Princess Luna for a farewell hug, proceed to Chapter 20.
Chapter 18“Just spending time with you was reward enough, Your Highness,” you tell her with a nervous smile in which you bite your lip a little too hard. Princess Luna rolls her eyes at you, but a suppressed smile plays at her muzzle. “Well, fine. If you don’t want to tell us what you’d like…we shall think up a suitable reward ourselves.” With that, she enters her chambers and closes the door behind her. Thirty minutes later, towards the end of your shift, Princess Luna opens the door. “Come in, loyal guard,” she says, waving you in with a hoof. “I have found a reward for you.” As soon as you set your first hoof inside the room’s threshold, her magic grasps you and whips you inside, closing the door behind you. Before you know what is happening, your helmet is ripped off and thrown to the floor, and Luna presses you against the wall. Her lips press to yours in a hungry kiss. Her lips lock deeply with yours immediately, bypassing any soft introduction. Your mind blurs as your heart rate skyrockets. When she finally pulls away from you, you can feel and taste her saliva coating your lips. She grins sheepishly and averts her eyes slightly as you catch your breath. “We…I…hope that this was satisfactory payment for your services,” she tells you. “I’m actually sorry…Normally, I would never do something like this, but our walk together got me excited, and…” She lets out an exasperated sigh, her shoulders sagging with stress. “You won’t tell anypony what I did, will you?” If you wish to kiss Princess Luna back, proceed to Chapter 45. If you wish to sue Princess Luna for sexual harassment, proceed to Chapter 46.
Chapter 20Princess Luna’s eyes widen but her smile remains stationary. “A hug? Truly, that is all that you wish of me?” You nod, a touch unnerved by her less-than-clear response. She embraces you, pulling you close to her. While your guard armor prevents your chest from touching hers, your muzzle is pressed tightly into her neck, allowing you to inhale her unique, cool scent. Her mane covers your face, keeping you from seeing anything but the magical, starry sky that always follows her no matter where she goes. Your body begins to heat up from the contact. The hug lasts far longer than any hug normally does, allowing you to appreciate and (crucially) lock it in your memory for later recall. Princess Luna seems to be enjoying herself too, humming occasionally, swaying a little bit, and even nuzzling the side of your face once. After a few minutes when she finally pulls away, she issues you a soft goodnight, complete with a warm smile and a wink, and closes the door, leaving you alone again. Proceed to Chapter 21.
Chapter 39You press your hooves against the porcelain at the bathtub, forcing your neck back against her kisses. She makes her next move by pressing her lips deeply into your neck, massaging your skin between her lips. Smacking sounds invade your ears as she eats into your neck, and you let out a happy groan. “Are you happy, loyal protector?” “Y-yes,” you gulp. “P-please go to my ear.” She moves up, running her tongue along the length of your ear. She lets out a chuckle as you shiver. Soon she pushes you away and steps out of the bathtub. “Dry me,” she orders, tossing a towel on your head. You lament that your teasing boss has left you unfulfilled. Stepping out of the tub still overwhelmed by the experience, you grab the towel and begin roughly drying off her body. Princess Luna simply makes soft, submissive sounds as you dry her with coarse rubs of the towel. Suddenly, she attempts to maintain her composure. “Cease, and follow me,” she says. Throwing open the door with her magic, she proceeds toward her bed in the room, and you follow. Using her magic, she throws you on the mattress and lets out a hungry growl, jumping after you. She lies on her side next to you and presses her muzzle to yours, staring into your eyes with a deep, teasing glare. Proceed to Chapter 40.
Chapter 21You spend most of your shift the next day contemplating the time you spent with Princess Luna the day prior. Things had definitely changed between you, and big time. “Oh, no!” You hear Princess Luna lament from around the corner. She turns into the main hallway, carrying a thick stack of paper with her. She trots right up to you and puts on her best worried expression. “I need your help!” “Of course, Your Highness!” This was what you were trained to do, after all. “Have you heard the news?” she cries, forcing her bottom lip to quiver artificially. “No. Please give me a sitrep.” “Look!” Luna shoves the paper into your face, revealing it to be newsprint. You read the headline: ‘Canterlot Crime Rate Skyrockets: petty theft charges increase 400% over last month.’ “Isn’t it horrible!?” she asks you. “Canterlot is a very safe city,” you tell her with a furrowed brow. “There were only two petty theft cases all last month, so this is probably more a statistical anomaly than-“ “It’s terrible!” she answers for you, placing a hoof to her forehead and looking analytically at you for just a moment before readopting her horrified expression. “I don’t feel safe in my own room anymore. If only there was somepony who could protect me…” She gasps and her eyes widen with scripted simultaneity as she readjusts her focus on you. “You could protect me! Could you come inside my chambers and watch over me tonight?” If you wish to agree, proceed to Chapter 22. If you wish to explain that she is more powerful than you and that the royal guards serve more of an aesthetic and symbolic purpose than a practical one, proceed to Chapter 23.
Chapter 24“I yield to your wisdom, Princess.” She smiles and saunters slowly over to the cushy loveseat, using her magic to make it a touch shorter so it functions more like a large recliner. She relaxes into it slowly, spreading her hind legs to make a V-shaped area, and pats the chair with a deep grin. You swallow the lump in your throat and walk over, turning around slowly to sit. Before you can, Princess Luna’s magic nabs you tightly and pulls you into her. You immediately make contact with her fluffy chest, noticing that she has removed her normal regalia. All four of her hooves shoot around you. Her back hooves wrap around yours, trapping you in place, while her front hooves begin caressing your chest softly. Your entire face turns red and you can barely breathe; the attention is mostly unexpected and entirely far too much for your crush-stricken heart to handle. You feel soft fabric in contact with you as Luna floats a blanket to cover you. Placing her head on your right shoulder, her magic comes in contact with a controller and she whispers, “Now let us play a game together.” The first couple of minutes of the game pass by without too much activity. You are not paying attention to the game itself, of course, savoring Princess Luna’s touch. Soon she readjusts her muzzle deeper on her shoulder, and now you can feel each and every breath, her damp, hot exhalations rushing over the hairs on your neck. It feels so pleasurable that you have to suppress a moan in the far back of your throat every several seconds. You squirm under the feeling, and the tantalizing prospect of her lips closing the last half an inch of space between them and your neck. Princess Luna pauses the game. “Oh, are you alright, darling?” she whispers in your ear, her smooth voice and choice of words causing another shiver to course through your body. Suddenly, you feel her tail slide around your left side and slowly run over your tummy, making you tense it. “Are you comfortable enough?” You manage only an affirmative squeak in reply. “Oh, good. I was a touch concerned.” Eventually, Princess Luna saves her game and yawns, wrapping her hooves around your midsection in a hug and resting her head where your head meets your front right leg. “I can’t quite go to bed yet,” she says, yawning. “I’m still so stressed about this dangerous crime wave…" She uses a hoof to turn your head to look at her. "I think... I’ll take a bath.” You stand up and Princess Luna follows. Proceed to Chapter 31.
Chapter 28You recommend that you sit side by side with the Princess. She tilts her head and flashes a soft smile at you before sitting on the loveseat and patting the region next to her. Sitting down, you feel Princess Luna’s wing wrap around you and pull you into close contact with her. Her soft feathers caress and even occasionally tickle your back and sides, and you already feel your warmth being retained by their downy quality. Feeling yourself blush, you place your hoof over one of hers. In response, she places hers over yours, creating a sandwich in which she gently massages your hoof between hers. Princess Luna picks up her controller and begins to play. Aside from the sound of the game, the only sounds heard are the content sighs that occasionally emanate from you both. Proceed to Chapter 29.
Chapter 30“Oh, a massage sounds simply delightful,” she tells you, waltzing over to her bed and lying down with her hooves on the pillows and her head toward the hoofboard. “I do so despise having to leave my room for pampering treatment.” You walk over to her bed. Standing by the side, you reach your forehooves over to begin rubbing her back. “Uhp-uhp-uhp!” she stops you. “Such an angle is entirely unacceptable!” You look at your outstretched hooves, then Princess Luna’s sleek, inviting form lying on the bed. “So…What do I do?” “Climb up,” she orders you before turning her head back to the front and exhaling softly. Gingerly, and with no small amount of hesitation, you climb up onto the bed, standing above the Princess’ form and straddling either side of her. Gently, you press your hooves down into the region of her back which lies between her wings. She lets out a happy moan and immediately clears her throat. “Excuse us,” she tells you, doing her best to look back but not make eye contact. “That was not meant to be vocalized.” Her actions certainly identified the primary area where work was needed. More gently, you knead your hooves into the same region of her back, rubbing out the tense muscles in tight little circles. She melts under your touch and sighs happily Suppressing a chuckle, you begin to work your way up her back to the higher areas, running them over the area more softly. Princess Luna closes her eyes and hums as the massage turns more into a gentle backrub designed to share touch rather than improve flexibility. Princess Luna begins to gently, almost imperceptibly, rock her body side to side. She also spreads her legs to put them in contact with your hind hooves. Is the massage becoming boring for her? Is she suggesting that you are allowed to do more? If you wish to avoid risk and stay the course in your massage techniques, continue on to Chapter 32. If you wish to lie on top of Princess Luna and rub her sides, proceed to Chapter 33. If you wish to massage Princess Luna’s flanks, proceed to Chapter 34.
Chapter 34Gently, as if doing it too fast would provoke her, you lay your hooves on Princess Luna’s flanks- indeed, right on the crescents of her cutie marks- and press into the tissue, beginning to move in gentle, expanding circles. Princess Luna makes strange sound that could best be described as the cross between a moan and a growl. “My my...” she begins, talking into the ornate hoofboard at the foot of her bed, “Such boldness. I don’t recall asking for you to touch us there…” Your circular hoof movements slowly grind to a halt. Uh oh. You’ve done it now, bud! Without warning, Princess Luna flips over so that you are lying on her front and looks into your eyes with determination and a degree of hunger. She sits up and pushes you back over so that your head hits her pillows. Crawling over to you, she places the tip of her muzzle against yours and meets your gaze with the same expression as before. Proceed to Chapter 40.
Chapter 49You place the last flower in the ornate glass vase and fluff them up. Stepping back, you carefully observe your work. She’ll love it. “Who will love it, my brave soldier?” You whip around to find Princess Luna’s form standing elegantly behind you. Her face, as usual, holds a smug and knowing smile. “I told you not to do that!” you cry. “Daydreams are still dreams,” she answers. “And I will continue policing you until such time as you stop your incessant romantic thoughts about me while on the clock.” You blush and look away from her. You had gotten a promotion to Princess Luna’s personal guard and assistant soon after your first kiss, but it didn’t distract you from the ever-present fact that she was in charge. “Do you want your Heart’s and Hooves Day present or not, Lulu?” Now it’s her turn to blush. “You know I don’t like that name. To you, I am Luna. Or, if you’d prefer, Mistress Moon.” The blushing contest is getting old quickly, and you end it by shoving a hoof in the direction of the flowers you had gotten her. “Oh, look,” she says with a smile, lifting a hoof to caress the purple petals. “Shadow roses, my favorite.” She turns her gaze to you and gives you a soft, loving kiss on the lips which lasts almost ten seconds. “What a wonderful gift. I got you something too, you know.” “Really!?” you ask with delight, whipping your head around the room to try and spy it. “What is it?” Princess Luna lets out a soft giggle and leans her muzzle in close to your ear. “I actually bought you several!"
