That moment you realize you're awake.

When most ponies think of snapping, most think of going insane acting crazy. When I snapped I began going through what most refer to as a mid life crisis.

"I can't be getting married!" I shouted. "There's still so much to do in my life...write a book to publish.....go sky diving....become an actor....." I had lowered my voice to a depressed toned whisper.

Celestia came over and put her hoof over me. "You can still do all those things. Just I'll be by your side as more than a lover, please do not weep. You can write, I could take you sky diving, I can also assist with the actor job too." Celestia said trying to comfort me. Even with a soothing voice and touch, she failed to comfort me. However her efforts were somewhat effective.

"But I won't be able to finish any of it.....we'll get married...you'll get pregnant...and then I'm going to have to spend half of the rest of my life raising a foal!" I sobbed.

Luna now attempted to comfort me. "You said last night you loved Celestia. Not all dreams are meant to come true, but one perk of being married to the most powerful being in current existence is eternal life. So for you, all dreams can come true. Eternal life can guarantee that."

"E-eternal life?" I asked looking to Celestia.

"Absolutely." Celestia said kissing me on the cheek."Once I get what I want, you get whatever you want." she stated in a whisper putting emphasis on 'whatever'.

"What is it that you could want? From what I can tell, as the most powerful being in Equestria, you can get anything you like." I said.

"It isn't obvious? Think about it, you're the first being I've loved in that context of love we all put our lovers in" Celestia explained "So....with that knowledge, what I want.........is you." she said with a tone of full seriousness. "You can love and tolerate anypony, but you can only love, one pony"

I now understood the price of eternal life and happiness. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. Marrying the most powerful being in Equestria. I would have thought the price would have been steeper.

I still couldn't believe that after our time together, I would have over looked the fact that Celestia can grant just about anything.

My previous mental snap seemed to vanish.

2 months later.

I stepped off the train. A cold wind stung my face, the sun seemed to be absent in this overcast day.  It was maybe 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I was in Canterlot again, my latest tour of comedy now finished, I had gone from Canterlot to Las Pegasus, to Manehatten, and then to Ponyvile. Where the tour ended. I had spent at least 3 days in each town. I kept in contact with Princess Celestia, work had interfered with our relationship. Both of us had jobs. Celestia's job had a sudden pile up of paperwork for her.

I never packed very much if I could help it. This time I had just packed one suit case. It was rather light, although when using magic you really don't have  a weight limit.  You can pick up just about anything. I began to make my way to the castle. I didn't stop for anything. When vendors in the street tried to stop me, I simply told them "I'm busy". If they continued to try and push their products or services on me I would use my best Royal voice (Which was actually just a deeper impersonation of Princess Luna's) and use words that I could not politely repeat. Sadly I just couldn't get the hole lightning and clouds swirling effect Luna could, but it still seemed to have the same effect  on the victims I used it on. My angry words and curses just seemed to be more effective than if I had just shot the vendor with a cannon. Which with some of those persistent weirdos I would have liked to.

When I finally got to the castle. My throat was worn out from that Royal voice. How can Luna do it for so long and not kill her throat? The guards knew who I was and let me by without question or order from me. The staff greeted me as I made my way through the castle. One of the guards shared some coffee with me, he gave me a mug  and poured it from a thermos her owned. It was good quality coffee, really woke the drinker up.

I went up one of the many staircases in the castle. At about the halfway mark I ran into Luna. Who seemed over joyed to see me.

"Seethe! It is good to see you again." She greeted "How was the tour?" she asked with a smile.

"Incredible. I got payed nearly 50,000 bits total. And there were incredible turn outs at each show." I said returning the smile.

"That is excellent. Celestia has been aching for your return to her. I will make sure no pony tells her your here." Luna said with a mischievous wink and continued smile. "She is in her bedroom, go right up. She is napping, paperwork can really tire her out."

With a quick "See ya later" I was again making my way up the stairs.

When I reached the door that was the entrance to Celestia's room. I took a deep breath. Then opened the door. Inside was pitch black. I tried to use memory to guide me through the room. After taking a few steps into the room, I close the door. and slowly took light steps towards the bed. I kept sticking out a fore hoof and feeling around in front of me to make sure no furniture would injure me if I stepped forward. Before I was even within 10 feet of the bed somepony tackled me. I dropped my suitcase as a pair of lips touched mine and an over excited tongue burst into my mouth like a rude neighbor. The tongue receeded, and lips went away. And I could feel Celestia sit up on top of me.

"Welcome back my handsome lover." Celestia said in a seductive whisper.
