Sometimes, leisure travels to places are short- But the fun it gives you lasts a lifetime.

A few weeks ago, Nathan, a 23-year old YouTuber from the human world, met up with his favorite ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Fast forward to the present, he wakes up one day finding himself in Equestria. But before he could go out and explore the world he’d hope to be in, Twilight told him that she had something in store for him.

And to his surprise, the human found himself hanging out with some pony special.

Inspired by a story named My Little Girl. Check it out!

Blissful moments just end too quickly.

If my friends are okay with it... Will you spend quality time with me?

That one single sentence... Lingered on my mind for a while since she left. It all felt like the visit from the mane 6 was just yesterday. I could never seem to forget it- And everyone’s been telling me it’s a dream. But it definitely wasn’t- The letter was proof.

I was told by some of my fans on YouTube to stop imagining things. Must be haters.

But I couldn’t.

Back to that line, it seemed... Really interesting. I couldn’t help but feel Twilight had some kind of feeling that made her say that- She’s not keen on relationships. So why would she say something like that? Impossible. And she’ll turn away from me- Surely.

But my thought process had to stop, thanks to the sun shining in my eyes. I merely turned my brain on and my eyes opened, my vision being blurry. Then I realized something different- I wasn’t woken up by an alarm clock. It’s gone. Moving on, the interior was definitely not the same. White bedsheets, the decor and style of building, the furniture was all in the wrong place from where I remembered.

My vision cleared and I put on my glasses, which were on the little table next to the bed, where the lamp was. Once again, I thought this couldn’t be possible, since this doesn’t exist in my room. Then, I finally came to the conclusion to look out the window.

And then, I realized: I was in Equestria.

If I hadn’t just woken up and am already hyped, I would be dancing around right about now. But nope! I am still in half-asleep mode. So all I did was just smile widely as I sat up on the bed of my room. I also realised I was in the Canterlot Castle, which didn’t seem right at all to me, but I rolled with it.

On the other side of my bed, there was a cart, something like those you see in hotels. And on it, was a platter showing a nice selection of food for my breakfast. Pancakes topped with syrup and berries making a face, there’s Apple juice, there’s flower sandwiches... All that I’ve seen on the show.

I scratched my eyes and stretched my arms.

“Looks like I’m in for a wonderful dream,” I said to myself, then chuckling. “And I’ll be in for a heart-crushing moment once it ends.”

My room included a bathroom so I went there and did the usual morning routine before walking back out to have this specially prepared Breakfast-in-Bed. And on the platter, there was a note. So I read it as I was chowing down on the surprisingly tasty sandwiches.

Hey Nathan!

Didn’t expect me, huh? Save the confusion. I’ll come over in a bit.

-Twilight Sparkle

“Huh, weird,” I said. “Rather Short for someone like Twilight, haha.”

I finished up the food, but not after I praised how great the pancakes were. Yes yes, I know Celestia made them. Who else other than Pinkie Pie would do this? And I don’t recall her doing something like this before.

I just drank the apple juice, probably from Applejack, when a knock on the door was heard. I spotted a note from under the door. So I put everything down on the cart and went over to the door to pick it up.

Are you ready? :)

That’s all it said- But I shrugged and opened the door anyway. Oh, what a bad move that was- Because the next thing I saw, was a total surprise to caught me hard.

“Nathan!”

Twilight Sparkle stood on the other side and tackled me after a running start. The force pinned me to the ground, and it wasn’t until a few seconds later down on the mat that I calmed down to speak. I picked her up and hugged her as we laughed and laughed.

“*giggles* Twilight!” I said. “Hey, girl! How’ve you been?”

I sat down on my bed and we let go of each other. She chuckled.

“Great! Did I tackle you too hard? Hehe sorry!”

“No no, it’s totally fine, Twi. I’m so glad to see you! What’s going on? Am I in a dream and I got carried to Equestria or something?”

Twilight shook her head and chuckled as I continued to nuzzle her.

“No! I teleported you here!”

“You what? No you didn’t!”

“*giggles* I did! Don’t worry, I’ll just borrow you here for a day,” Twilight explained. “So it’s been a few weeks, and... Hehe, I really missed you. I wanted to have some more fun with the sweetest human I know.”

I shrugged. “Actually, I am the only one so...”

We laughed and she gave me a nudge.

“So I asked Celestia if she could take me to the exact same place I left you that night,” She said. “But I know you can’t teleport and you were asleep. So for it to work, I had to take you with me by cuddles.”

“Ahhhhh! No wonder!” I suddenly remembered something. “I was hearing a lot of shuffling noises and I felt something tugging me! That was you!”

We both gave each other a big hug.

“I missed you too, Twi!”

“I could tell,” She said, sighing happily as she let go. “How’ve you been lately? Your channel’s doing good? Any new stories?”

I shrugged. “Mmmm, the usual. I have been posting a few new stories that aren’t romance stories since we last met. I am making another story starring your old students, by the way. I say old cuz I don’t know if they’ve graduated.”

Twilight let out a chuckle. “Well, I heard they are planning to have a little bit of a gathering soon. If you tell me about it, maybe I can help and finish the story!”

“I suppose I could. By the way, can we go and explore Equestria now? I am dying to see my favourite land ever!”

“Hehe, well, Nathan... I actually planned something for you. Since you’re only gonna have a day, and I have a bit of a mission for the royal princesses...”

My mind went blank.

“No. You’re joking. Twi, Don’t tell me-“

“Yep. Come on! Let’s go!”

*Knock Knock*

“Twilight, is that you?”

“Mhmm!”

“Do come in, then.”

Upon granting permission, Twilight opened the throne room door, and offered me to enter first. As soon I stepped in, my wildest dreams were brought to life. Standing in the royal, huge room, I saw the giant marble pillars, the gorgeous stained glass paintings, the amazing chandeliers, and of course, the majestic golden and navy thrones.

Standing about about eight to ten feet away from me, were the two most important figures in all of Equestria. I was beyond ecstatic, and tried so, so, so hard to keep my composure. Twilight followed behind me as the doors closed.

“Princesses,” Twilight said, clearing her throat. “Meet my new human friend, Nathan.”

I blushed- I don’t know what to say. I mean- Who wouldn’t blush? I felt like a child meeting their superstar idol on YouTube for the first time at a convention. Only this time, I was alone- I am meeting the royal sisters, with Nopony else but Twilight.

Luna noticed my eyes darting around the room. She tilted her head and said:

“Is thou- *clears throat* Pardon me, is he alright, Twilight?”

The young princess came and helped me calm down. I’m still trying so hard not to start hyperventilating. Celestia just gave me a warm smile.

“Dear, it is alright,” Celestia said to me, in the warmest voice ever. “Take your time to calm down. I know how it feels like.”

The fact that she just gave me such a warm nickname gave me a wonderful first impression IRL. Yes, I’ve seen her being kind on the show in the past, when I was young, but I expected she would be freaking out when she saw a human like me. I could sense her tenderness, so I took a deep breath and calmed down.

“Greetings and salutations,” I said, trying to hide my nervousness. “As Twilight said, Nathan’s my name. How shall I thank you for your kindness, your highnesses?”

I was done on one knee and I bowed with absolute sincerity.

“It’s Alright,” Luna said, giving a shake of her hoof. “Just call us by our names. I’m Princess Luna.”

“And you already know me,” Celestia giggled, playfully boasting. Luna gave her a look of jealousy.

I chuckled and stepped forward. “Princess Celestia. Now... Don’t boast too much, Alright? You don’t want Luna to be jealous like... Never mind. I’m sorry.”

She laughed, and Luna joined in too with a blush.

“Very well,” She said, winking and offering her hoof. “It is really an honour for us to be meeting someone from a tribe we have yet to discover.”

When she put out her hoof, I was a little hesitant- Should I do this the pony way and respond with a hoof or something? Nah. That looks like a fist-bump. I gotta do this right. The blush rushed back to my face, but both of them remained very patient. Twilight gave me a nod, so I just went ahead and kindly shook her hoof with an open hand.

“And it truly is a big honour for me, too, to meet you both,” I said. Then I went to shook Luna’s hoof as well. She flashed me the same caring smile when I let go.

Celestia hummed with curiosity. “Very interesting approach there, Nathan. The act was... Rather unique, and the grasp seemed very sincere.”

“I do have to agree with that,” Luna replied.

“Oh, you know,” I joked around, “I have hands? These things? And fingers? That way I can grab stuff without using my mouth or wings or magic like you ponies do. They’re not as strong as magic but you get the idea.”

The princesses nodded.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Twilight said from behind. “Since we’re going to get into proper chat mode, why don’t we settle down at a better place, then talk?”

The three of us looked to each other.

“You know what...” Luna said. “It’s not really a bad idea. Tia, how about we-“

She immediately covered her mouth with an eep. Celestia just smiled and giggled.

“Sorry, Lulu And I-“

And now Celestia started blushing!

“Haha, save it. I think I know you both well enough to know about this nickname thing you’ve developed. Apologies for laughing and knowing about your secrets, but I’ll tell you more when we talk.” I said. “Anyway, where to?”

Twilight thought for a little. “Let’s go to the lounge. I know that whenever the two princesses aren’t talking important things with other leaders, both sides would probably go there to relax and chat instead.”

The two, still blushing from calling each other by their nickname, nodded. And then, as Twilight and I were walking out, I overheard them nudging and bickering with each other.

“What was that, big sis!?”

“I don’t know! You started it first, Lulu!”

“You know they can still hear us, Tia!”

I shrugged and went over while they’re still bickering.

“Hey, Hey!” I clapped to signal them. “Calm down! I know you two like to bicker and all but come on! I’m here and I only got a day to spend. Let’s not waste time, shall we?”

The two dropped the topic and giggled, yet they gave each other intriguing looks and shaking their heads, rolling their eyes at their playful sister. They’re just so cute together, I thought.

For the next hour, I shared laughs and giggles with the royal sisters themselves along with Twilight, as we involved in a series of chats about my world, their world, and secrets of our own. As Twilight promised- I was tasked on sharing information about humans to the princesses for their future study, now that they’ve confirmed our existence in this dimension. In return, they wanted to make my visit here as fun as possible.

“Okay, so wait,” Luna said. “You’ve known about us for a long time?”

“Haha, yeah!” I replied. “I even have plush toys of the elements!”

Celestia laughed loudly at my statement, almost falling off the couch. “I mean, call me sexist, but you’re a sta- I mean guy! A full grown adult, too! You watching us?”

“Why not?”

Twilight giggled. “Hey, remember I told you he’s an entertainer back in his world? He’s also a writer and he sings very well too!”

My cheeks blushed a bright pink.

“Twilight!” I yelled. “I don’t wanna embarrass myself in front of royalty! I’m not that amazing!”

“*giggles* Yes you are! You sang in front of us that night!”

Luna laughed along, and so did Celestia. Still, I sang for them anyway- Just a random song, about dreams and creativity. I had to sing it with no backing track, though- They still applauded. I knew at once, I’ve definitely gotten much closer and personal with Celestia and Luna.

When I was still young and I was still a viewer of the show, I did thought most of the time, they were very regal and weren’t keen on fun. It was the fandom that persuaded me into thinking that way, at least for a while. But now that I’ve met them, we found ourselves laughing together, chatting and having lots of fun. I realized- Sometimes, when you see your favorite role model or idol or anyone you like in particular... Something’s undoubtedly true.

Sometimes, people aren’t like what they seem.

“Hey,” I said to the sisters, pointing to the other side of the big lounge. “I’ve noticed something the moment we walked in- The wallpaper looks strikingly interesting and it compliments each other so well. One side is golden, the other side navy. Just like you both!”

Celestia and Luna, both nodded with a smile, got off the couch and went to opposite sides. There were two bookshelves on either side of the Lounge, and they pulled out a certain book. A ‘click’ was heard, and like magic, the floor changed right below our feet! And some of the furniture was rearranged, and a special bed appeared on the side opposite the doors. The floor changed to a very nice carpet that spread across the whole floor, one side being yellow and the other side blue. When I got up to take a closer look, I saw that on the middle, an interesting and adorable symbol was formed- The sun and moon were combined together.

“Hey! That’s cute!” I commented as I looked down at it. “How’d you two do that?”

Celestia chuckled. “It’s nothing. Just magic mechanisms that we’ve installed in this room. No telling other ponies! This is our secret, right Lulu?”

Luna rolled her eyes as she got called by the nickname again. “Mhmm! Oh, and especially you, Twilight.”

Twilight blew a raspberry and giggled. “Oh, please. You can trust me! But I don’t know if you can trust Nathan... He once told me he’s a big mouth.”

“Hmph, you jerk, Twi. I won’t tell, I swear this time,” I replied. Then I saw Celestia and Luna performing some kind of spell. The tip of their horns made contact and they seemed to be transferring magic. “H-Hey, What are you two doing?”

“Nothing!” Luna said, a bit loudly due to the sounds of the spell. “And please, Tia and I want some alone time for a bit. Sorry!”

Twilight and I looked at each other.

“Well, wanna See my friends again?” She asked me, offering a hoof.

I took it with no hesitation. “Count me in!”

I wanted to give Celestia and Luna a break, so I told Twilight we’re gonna let the, have fun on whatever they’re doing and spend the rest of the day in Ponyville. When we got there, after a quick lunch break and more chatting about our races, we finally make it over to Twilight’s castle. And I was beyond ecstatic.

The princess was very kind to show me around the area before we went there, and when we did, I finally got to meet all my friends again, and I couldn’t be any more happier. Oh! And I also got to meet Starlight and Spike. That was an interesting experience since they’ve never seen me before. Even so, they were just as kind and sweet.

Oh, and did I mention Pinkie threw a surprise party?

I wasn’t expecting it at all but I joined in anyway because I was the star of the party, since I’ll be going back home soon. I bet Twilight set this up! I didn’t really have the mood to eat a lot at the party since I just had lunch. But I did play a lot of games! Not as exciting as the video games I love playing, but as long as I was with my friends, I was content with what I’m doing.

If I wanted to pick the funniest part of the party, it would be playing truth or dare. Ohhhh boy do a lot of secrets get busted out there.

“Truth or Dare, Nathan?” Dash asked me, since I was the one sitting opposite to her.

“Truth,” I said.

And of course, when you’re playing this game, you would want to think of the hardest truths for your opponent to answer.

“Do you secretly love Twilight?” She asked, winking.

We both gasped and started to blush. We buried our face in our hands.

“Ooooooooo~” Everypony giggled.

“Nathan has a crush on Twilight~” Spike jokingly teased, repeatedly. That was until I picked him up and messed with him. I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.

“We’re only friends. Right, Twi?”

“Wh- Yeah! Haha of course! There’s no way our only non-Equestrian visitor is my love interest, right~?”

They all gave us suspicious stares, and they became more excited when I unintentionally brought her close with an arm. Later on in the game, she wrapped her wing around me. I smiled- She is so caring and loving!

“Nathan?” Starlight asked. “It’s your turn.”

“Oh! Sorry!” I said. I whispered something to Twilight. “Truth or dare, Rainbow?”

I expected it- And I was super excited when she said it.

“Of course I’ll dare!” She said with confidence.

Haha! You fell under my trap! I thought. So I winked at Twilight, and she giggled and winked back. Then we said the same thing.

“Kiss Fluttershy!”

And now it’s their turn to be shy. Fluttershy even curled herself into a ball from how shy she was. Dash just sat there, dumbfounded. Both of us laughed out so loudly that we couldn’t say anything.

“OHHHHH!” I screamed triumphantly. “That’s what you get! THAT IS WHAT YOU GET BOIIIII!”

Twilight and I gave each other a high-ten. No way she’s going to do it- And she’ll have to do a Truth as compensation. I had another idea in mind.

“Hey... Flutters?” Dash asked, kindly tapping her back.

“Hm?”

As soon Flutters sat back up, Rainbow, surprisingly with no hesitation anymore, pushed herself towards her best friend, and tackled her.

“Ahhhhhhh!!” Everypony cheered in a sea of laughter.

Even I was surprised- I totally knew those two had feelings for a while, but I didn’t think she would actually kiss her! Yet there they were, two Pegasi who have been best friends for a long time finally doing what I hoped for a long time coming. It’s so weird but funny to watch.

As soon as Dash let go, Fluttershy pushed herself into the kiss! Their words were muffled since their lips were stuck together, but I was literally dying of giggles.

Party time went well into the evening, and unfortunately I wanted to bid my pony friends farewell since I wanted to leave with Twilight. I did promise her that I would try to spend quality time with her. So, after some group hugs and all, I set off back to Canterlot Castle. I wanted us to have dinner early so we could find a bit of spare time during the night.

The meal was delicious and was fit for a king and Queen. Okay, no. Don’t get the wrong idea. Anyway, so both of us had a joyous period of time chatting happily about life, friendship and each other. A lot of awkward moments here and there were probably giving me- And her, too, some signs of love.

Afterwards, she asked me if I would want to take a stroll with her around the Canterlot gardens. I was perfectly fine with that, and I’m glad she asked this. There, the lights were luminated at just the right brightness. Patches of roses and a few birds and critters hanging about made the environment much more nice. It was a pretty quiet night and the stars were out.

There was this cool little bench swing thing, with a bush resembling a big heart surrounding the contraption. We both blushed and I took her hoof. We sat down over there and as we swung to and fro, we had a peaceful chat.

“Really, Twi...”

“Hm?”

I hugged her.

“My wildest dreams- All came true in a day,” I said. “Thank you so much.”

Twilight smiled widely and returned the hug. She squeezed me with all her heart, giving a little nuzzle here and there.

“You’re welcome, Nate.” There go the nicknames again. “You’re my friend. Of course I’ll help you make this trip to Equestria as fun as it could be. I kinda prepped for the whole thing, to be honest.”

“I could already tell,” I sighed in bliss.

We let go, but kept each other close. As she unfolded her beautiful, lavender wings, she wrapped my whole body at an instant- Like a warm blanket. I put my arm around her. Soon, our heads tilted and touched. We closed our eyes, sighing happily with our friend. I lightly held Twilight’s left hoof with my hand.

“I know this wouldn’t happen, so that’s why I’m asking this,” I told her.

“What?”

“If we... If we were both in the same place, same tribe... Together... Will you go out with me?” I asked.

Twilight gasped, with a sweet smile. I smiled back.

“I know we wouldn’t meet again for some time. I’ll have to go soon. So I thought I’d ask you and see what you say. It’s not like I’m practicing to go for the big fish but-“

Twilight shut my mouth with a hoof.

“*giggles* Quiet, you,” She giggled. “If so... Of course I would’ve said yes!”

“Really?”

She laughed harder. “Oh, Nathan... You think I would just try to get you to come over once in a few weeks? No! In fact, I did something while I came to your place- I placed a spell on your closet. The one near the balcony. Now there’s a portal and you can come here whenever you want! Isn’t that great?”

I gasped- I could come here every day! I don’t need her to send me back and forth anymore!

“You know what...” I said, nervously chuckling. “In that case... I’ll save the lovey douby talk for another day. I want to know you more, Twilight Sparkle.”

She looked at me with her gorgeous purple eyes.

“It’s okay. We can still be just best friends, or we could be cheesy here and there as kind of a couple,” Twilight replied. “But, truthfully... You already do, Nathan.”

Smooch

I opened my eyes just when I was closing them. I saw Twilight, holding me in an embrace, putting her head close lovingly. There was an absolute sensation of love on my cheek- She just kissed me!

A minute later she finally broke the kiss with a loud squeak. I didn’t move- And I was speechless.

“Nathan?”

I wiped the tear in my eye. “You... You just...”

“Sorry, I- Mmm!”

I silenced her immediately and return the kiss on the lips. As the kiss dragged on, she became more comfortable and the kiss became more and more natural, and both of us enjoyed it. She wrapped me in a tight hug with her wings, so I was forced to hug her neck. When we broke the kiss, we smiled and let our foreheads touched, before making contact again. As she leaned on me to push me down, I giggled and slid my hand along her precious mane and she did the same. We even deepened the kiss to try and nuzzle our noses but that didn’t work out as well. Even so, we just laughed it off- Still in the blissful kiss, so it was tingling our heart.

Letting go, we nuzzled our noses before saying anything.

“This has been fun, really,” I told her.

“Stop it,” She giggled. “You’re so flirty and sweet. You’ll be so hyped for the last part of the day.”

“Oh, really?”

“Mhmm! Should we go? It’s almost nighttime.”

“I couldn’t say no to that. But before we do... One little present.”

I gave a kiss on her cheek- Which she was surprisingly open to. I didn’t want to be weird and kiss her suddenly but she didn’t have a problem with it. I touched her chin.

“I love you, Twilight~”

She smiled and nuzzled me in a hug.

“I love you too, Nate.”

We happily and blissfully walked together down the hallway a while later. We approached the lounge to check if the princesses were there since Twilight planned for them to be there. At this point I still don’t really know what was going to happen, so I just rolled with it and followed.

But when I approached the doors, I was hearing some pretty... Interesting, you can say, words.

“*giggles* Mmmm closer, sis...”

“Awww stop squeezing! Just kiss me!”

“*muffled* Better?”

“*muffled* Mhmm... *sigh* Oh, How I love you, Tia...”

“Hey! Don’t you dare leave the cuddles! Get back here, you little sister!”

“Ahhh! Okay! My neck is gonna break now! Hehehe!”

At this point I have no clue what in the name of Equestria is going on in there. Twilight didn’t either.

“You’re hearing this, right?” She whispered to me, so we don’t get caught.

“I am and I don’t know what in the ****-“ I slipped my tongue and covered my mouth after saying that word. “Oh god, sorry. Didn’t mean to! I don’t know what is going on with those two!”

Twilight had an idea.

“Waitwaitwait! I have an idea!”

“Ooooh do tell me!”

I kneeled down to nuzzle her cheek to beg her. She giggled.

“Check this out!”

She did a spell, and instantly, I could only see her completely transparent. Must be an invisible spell, and I know if we talk and get spotted, we’re going to turn visible again, so I signalled her to go in at the same time, when I count to three. So I did- And we went through the door without opening, since we were invisible.

And boy did we regret it.

“OH GOD NO!” I yelled, covering my eyes and bursting into laughter.

“What in the name of Equestria are you two doing!?” Twilight joined in on the hysterics.

The second we stepped in, I saw a shocking yet adorable sight. Celestia and Luna were both on the bed, wrapping each other with their wings, and their manes were so messy and aren’t flowing anymore. There was lose hair everywhere and I noticed the red and blue marks on their cheeks from the kissing.

“Hey! You didn’t see anything!” Luna cried.

Celestia was blushing- I can’t believe it!

“Uhh... Hey, you two,” She said. “I wasn’t-“

“I saw it!” I proclaimed. “You and Luna were making- No wait, not that far. I mean, you and Luna were... You were...”

I squeaked in my falsetto voice and I was ecstatic.

“You’re cuddling!!! Awww!!!”

The two looked at each other, then Twilight, then me, then back to their sister. They just smiled and laughed.

“Well, as Queen Novo said, the pearl’s out of the oyster now, I guess.” Celestia laughed.

Luna giggled along, wiping the red kiss marks from Celestia. “Haha, I can’t deny that. So! How have you two been up to?”

“Haha, nothing. Just spent a nice day with my best friend,” I told them. “We visited our friends, and went for a stroll around town and all that-“

“And Nathan confessed to me!! Hehe!”

“Twilight!!”

Celestia was laughing hysterically as she wiped off the same blue kiss marks from Luna.

“My, my! Twilight, you’re a cheeky princess, Aren’t you?”

All four of us laughed.

“So!” Twilight said, winking. “You all ready for the best part?”

The princesses giggled and nodded. As soon I saw their faces, it totally looked like I was getting myself into a really, really interesting situation. So my cheeks were burning with embarrassment.

“Awww Twi...”

“Come on, it’ll be fun! Just do it like you did with us last time! And you wouldn’t say no to royalty, right~?”

“That’s what’s making me shy! They’re the princesses of Equestria! I can’t just go and start cuddling them!”

Twilight nudged me.

“Hey, I’m one too, you know.”

“*giggles* Okay, Fine.”

So Twilight and I climbed to the middle of the bed, right in between Celestia and Luna. It was a really big bed so they didn’t mind all four of us cuddling at the same time. Though they did feel bad about us splitting her and Luna apart.

“So... How do you girls want to do this?” I asked.

“Just relax. Just like we did last time,” Twilight booped my nose. “You can have fun with Celestia- I’ll admit, her cuddles are so much more amazing than mine.”

I turned to my right, only to be met with Celestia giving me the cutest face ever- Begging for affection. Her eyes were sparkling and that smile- So beautiful. If she was a girl in my world, I would’ve fallen for her right then and there.

“H-Hey, princess,” I stuttered sheepishly. “Shall we begin?”

She giggled and placed her white, feathery wings on my body, and wrapped around me to bring it in. She was really sweet indeed- Cuddling me even by the neck lovingly. Celestia sighed in bliss, and I drew in the scent of her mane- It was a very, very fabulous perfume scent that she chose. I just blushed the whole time and I didn’t really want to move, because I was so timid. She noticed this and played along, motioning me to turn my body around to be the little spoon. I giggled and nuzzled against her white fur on her hooves.

Celestia smiled. “Don’t be shy. I’m very open to snuggling.”

“How’d you know I’m shy?”

“I’m kind of an expert on cuddling,” She explained. “Hehe, I know, weird. I can tell you’re holding back- I can feel that you’re very tense. I respect that, since cross-race Cuddling is probably a first experience for me, and you don’t want to make a bad impression. Don’t worry, dear. Relax into the embrace.”

I turned my head slightly to glance at her. She’s right- I was holding back. It was ten at night and I wanted to make this last moment special and cheery. So I started to return the hug and began my attack on my royal, yet challenging prey. I turned, to wrap her in my arms. I sighed happily, before nuzzling her furry chest, making her chuckle from the tickling. I wiggled my body excitedly.

“There you go!” Celestia complimented, nuzzling my nose as a reward. “You’re getting there!”

I hesitated to think of my next assault for just a moment- But I threw away the worries of insulting her sexually. But that gave her the time to snuggle me harder. Her squeezing was tight yet loving, and she didn’t mind to give me a peck on the forehead.

“*chuckle* Awww!” I squeaked. “Come here, you...”

I made my next move- Tickling her ear and back as I rested deeper and deeper into the hug. I purred and nuzzled against her cheek with mine. She grinned at the sensation. Then I thought, Hey, she doesn’t have fingers, I should totally use them to my advantage. So I did. With a hand on her cheek, I rubbed it gently and with care, all while brushing her majestic quad-colour mane. She closed her eyes and sighed happily.

I was actually surprised at how cooperative she was- Even though I am personally touching her, cuddling her and snuggling against her. If I did this to anyone, even my friends, I would totally get called out for abusing them. But, in this case, it was very common to see ponies hugging, so why not?

I playfully used only my lips to tug on her neck.

“Ahahaha, Stop!” She laughed. “Okay, that really tickles.”

I rolled my eyes. “Believe me, Sunshine. I seldom hug with others. So to cuddle with me, you’re really lucky.”

She smiled at the nickname I gave her. She gave me a sweet kiss and I gladly returned it when she let go. When we turned to the other side, all we could do was laugh- Because Twilight and Luna were getting really personal with their cuddle session, kissing and snuggling forcefully and all.

“Haha! The fun has been doubled!” Luna laughed as she messed with Twilight’s mane.

“*laughing* Luna!! Stop!” Twilight cried playfully. Then she saw me. “Oh, and can we switch places now? I want to cuddle my mentor.”

I couldn’t say no to that. So I got off and let her roll over. Before I even got back up, Twilight threw her hooves tightly around Celestia, as the latter gave her little rubs on the head.

“Well, Luna?” I blinked affectionately at her. “You wanna- Ahhh!”

To my surprise, Luna was absolutely into cuddles- She just straight up grabbed me and nuzzled me so hard I couldn’t move! Man I could not compete with that kind of cute. While she hugged me hard, I inhaled a lovely scent- Lavender. The same flowers she puts up every once in a while during the night, in the hallways of the palace. Must be those that transferred the smell.

“Wow... That scent is one to die for, Luna,” I praised. “Holy Moly you are so unbelievably good at cuddling- More than I imagined!”

Luna winked. “If my pesky sister and your friend weren’t in the way, do expect me to get all out. I am really affectionate, Nathan.”

“Me too, Luna!”

Without thinking, I pushed myself close for a kiss. When the impact came, Luna had mixed feelings. First, surprised. Second, a bit cross, but once I deepened my hug and softened my kiss, she sighed happily. I felt her pushing close to me instead- And I had to tap her head to signal her she was pushing pretty hard and let go.

Love hearts flew around her head. She was distracted.

“Aha! Get over here, you!”

I finally got the chance to counter attack. I started with a tight hug, then with some really good snuggles. She seemed to give in for a chance to let me show what I’ve got, so as soon as I untied our legs and hooves, i asked her to flip over, and let me be the big spoon.

“Hey! No fair!” Luna whined. “I can’t be the small spoon!”

“Haha! Accept defeat, Luna! I’m better at snuggles than you!”

The princess laughed and responded playfully, “Never!”

Our eyes met and were fixed on each other. Twilight tapped me from behind, followed by Celestia’s light chuckles.

“Wow, you are pretty into cuddling, Nathan,” She said, unable to hold in her tittering.

We all had a big laugh. I was having such a wonderful and amazing time having a sleepover with them- It’s such an unbelievable experience. I really had to give them credit for spending time with me.

“Speaking of which, princesses...”

“Yes?” Celestia and Luna asked.

“What... What exactly did you both do, when we weren’t here?” I questioned. “I saw you both doing a spell, and-“

“We had to cut it off,” Luna interrupted. “Had to do something important. But we did start the sleepover early, as you saw.”

Celestia blushed and cleared her throat. “You know what, Luna... Let’s just say what happened. Even if its really really embarrassing. So, uh Nathan... W-We... *blissful sigh* Yeah, you’re right. We did kiss each other and cuddle and-“

I squeaked so loudly at it- Even though it was literally half past ten at night. Twilight immediately shut me up.

“QUIET!” She yelled. “It’s nighttime!”

“Sorry!” I said sheepishly. “I’m just so excited ahhhhh! My fan fiction was canon!!!”

They all looked at me with confused looks.

“Oh right, Twilight knows but you two don’t,” I giggled. “I wanted to tell this to the elements when they teleported over, but Applejack stopped me so I won’t be insulting you two. Let me tell you about it.”

By the end of the story, All three princesses didn’t have anything to say- Especially the sisters- They were blushing and covering their faces. I thought I was going to get absolutely blasted to the moon for this, but no, all they did was nervously laugh at it.

“Oh, psssh!” Luna chuckled. “Come on, that’s not going to happen, right Tia?”

“Yeah,” Celestia nodded. “Haha, it’s hilarious, though! Your story was pretty adorable. Sorry to say this but that’s not happening. Lulu and I still have... A tiny bit of a grudge towards each other. Just a little.”

They glanced at each other, and shot a look that they sorta hated each other. I didn’t tell them, but I could hear what they were thinking and saying to each other in thoughts with secret powers.

“We gotta settle who’s better, Tia. Dreamy fight?”

“Ha, you’re on, Luna! And you know Day is way better.”

“Mm, really now? My night is greater.”

“Lulu... Not this again...”

“Come on... I dare you, Tia.”

Twilight finally decided to break the silence, after an awkward amount of time of them staring at each other.

“Speaking of which... How do you come up with ideas for stories, Nate?”

I shrugged. “Sudden thoughts, most of the time. For your story, Celestia and Luna, I actually thought about it after your evil selves fought in a dream.”

This snapped the two back into reality. And they weren’t really that happy, but were hanging cold smiles. My heart was beating fast when they thought of an idea to get me back.

”Let’s make them get nervous.”

”Oh, I see what you’re doing~“

“Uhhh... Did I say something wrong?” I asked them.

They turned to me.

“So.., Twilight,” Luna said coldly.

“Huh?”

“You said Nathan confessed to you? Hmm~?” She asked. “And Nathan, don’t you wanna... *giggles* You know...?”

“I certainly do, actually!”

“Wh- Hey! You can’t do that, Luna!”

Before she could blabber on about it, I silenced her with a big smooch. Once again, she flashed me the same three emotions Luna showed. In the end, she smiled and leaned into the contact, as we both lovingly pulled the other close to our hearts. We crossed our legs, hugged tightly, and wrapped each other’s heads with hooves and arms. All while being watched by the two royal sisters.

“Fine, you got me. Hehehe,” Twilight tittered as she hugged me.

I blissfully sighed- And returned it. It was then, I realised- She was fast asleep already. She blissfully snored, making cute sounds with every exhale. I rubbed her head as the two smiled and watched their friend with me together.

“Are you really sure that’s all you did while I wasn’t here?” I asked them. “What EXACTLY did you do?”

Luna giggled. “The thing we wanted to do before we returned to our work, why’d you ask?”

“Okay... What is it, then?”

Celestia joined in on the laughs. “We turned into fillies and had a cuddle battle. Again.”

I was going to squeal again- Then I realized Twilight was sleeping. Of course, I didn’t want to disturb her beauty sleep. So I kept my squeals for later.

“So that’s why you were so cheesy with each other!” I said. “Mmmm, you two sisters are up to some silly things when nopony’s around, huh?”

We all chuckled.

“Well, it’s late now,” Celestia reminded. “And I wish to snuggle with Lulu tonight. Would you mind-“

“Say no more,” I told her. “I’ll take care of Twilight. You two cuddle. Before I go though... I know I can now come back anytime and this wouldn’t be the last we see each other, but I just want to thank both of you. I know finding spare time for a princess isn’t easy at all and I’m grateful for all that you’ve planned and given me today.”

“You are so very welcome,” Luna gave me a little kiss. “We hope to see you soon, too.”

I got off, and before I went back to my room in the castle, I went to kiss Celestia’s hoof as a thank you. She smiled and levitated me into a hug, which I gladly accepted. After a bit of teary goodbyes, I carried my sleeping princess back to the room I started the day in. Everything’s nice and cleaned up, and although my bed was meant to fit one person, it’s still big enough to allow Twilight and I to lie down peacefully.

I gently laid her down on the bed, and I climbed into the warm, white blankets. Twilight, now in proper sweet dreams mode, was smiling with glee, and she could tell I was right next to her. As soon as I stepped in, she naturally placed her hooves around my neck, and nuzzled me like I was her favourite toy. I chuckled and returned the embrace, warmly touching her cheek. Her mane was messy, so I had to brush off her mane to the side for me to see her adorable and friendly face. I edged closer to her, and the pony sighed happily once more with every boop and nuzzle I gave.

She acted like a child with her father- And it was so cute I couldn’t cringe at it.

Then she did something that took me by surprise- When I almost kissed her, she sorta... Licked my lips. Just a little. I didn’t complain- I just grinned more widely. People do weird things when they sleep- And ponies were no exception. I gave a lick back at her and she giggled, probably because it was ticklish. Man if I had a phone right now this is going straight to my Twitter. No, wait. I’m not going to tell anyone about this- They’ll think I’m crazy again.

I didn’t want to wake her up- But I really yearned to hear her voice again before I disappear.

“Twilight~ Hey, Spark... Can you hear me?”

She groaned adorably for a second before merely opening her eyes.

“Hmm? You still here?”

I nodded.

“Did I... Did I fall asleep?” She asked. “I’m sorry. I wanted that to last longer. What is it?”

I was shy. Once more, I was one-on-one with my favourite pony, now my best friend. The light of the bright moon shined through the windows of the bedroom. I didn’t really know what to tell her- I just really wanted to chat with her more. I couldn’t stop myself- I have way too much to say. But, in this condition, I understand she’s tired. So I went with the lovebird route.

“I know I’m can come back, Twi,” I said, “But... Can I confess something?”

“Sure.”

“You... *sniff* You have always been my only star. Really.”

“Hmm? Is this something about love?”

“Yes. I’m finding myself... *sigh* I can’t help it... I’m... I’m madly in love with you!”

Twilight’s eyes sprang open. “You what?”

Now, I can’t say anything more. I was too quick to jump into conclusions.

“Sorry. That came out bad. I’m sorry.”

I turned my body, to face the other way. Twilight felt bad for sounding surprised- I knew she knows me well. And she knows I do the same. She just volunteered to be the big spoon and snuggled me.

“Don’t be, Nate.”

“Hm?”

She tightened her embrace. “Now that I think about it... Yes, we can be a couple if you wanted to. And, truthfully... I love you too. I just meant I need some time. We’ve only met twice. Love can wait, Nathan. I’m not experienced with relationships, just friendships. I’ll need time to think about whether we could be a good couple.”

I smiled. She cared about me lots.

“I understand, Twilight. Very well. I too, am not experienced with love. It’s complicated, in one way. But if you think about it in a different angle, I think... Friendship, is a kind of love itself. This bigger form of friendship... Built on affection, trust, and dedication, is something risky- But it’s a part of life. Maybe you're right, I do need time to think about what I just said.”

Finally, I turned over, to reveal that I’ve been crying. Just a bit.

“Awww... Don’t cry...” She cried.

I sniffed. “No no. It’s fine, Twi. I’m okay. I just want you to know... Even if you’re not sure, or you reject me, we’re always going to stay friends. It wouldn’t change. For now... I just wanted you to know about my deep feelings for you.”

She grinned too and our noses touched, so we gave each other a nuzzle. We continued to deepen the Cuddling, kissing as we drift off to sleep.

“Sweet dreams, Nate...” She said, though muffled from our kiss.

I broke it, just so I can see her face. Then, three words from her, melted my heart.

“I love you.”

*Beep*

Hey everyone. This is Nathan.

So... I don’t really know if this video’s going to go up, but I do want to address some things that have been happening recently.

I’ve noticed many haters on the channel talking about my weird dream of the ponies from an old cartoon show visiting me. I’ve seen- You guys are getting into some pretty heated fights with them. Now, I’m here to make all of that clear. But before I move on, I must make something else clear- Explaining the situation I’m having, is the only objective of this video. I’m not doing this for the spread of scientific research, nor for terrorist attack plans. If any government, or any of you in particular, wish to use what I’m about to share, for your own good, I will be deeply appalled and disgusted. It’s something that I do not wish to be shared. But you all leave me no choice- for I am fed up with the controversy around the globe about this incident.

To begin: Yes. That visit from the mane six of the old show, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, was 100% real. Here are a few pictures and videos I took from the event- And I can assure you, this was not photoshop.

*insert clips here*

I could go on and on for hours but I want to keep this short. For those who ought to do nothing but defend the point that the visit was staged, I can assure it wasn’t. I saw it with my own eyes, and this letter- Right here, is definitive proof, written by Princess Twilight Sparkle herself. I would be saying other things right about now, but I’m not a YouTuber that attacks its own fans. I respect every one of you expressing your opinion but staging a full on war about this event was intolerable.

Now, for those who believed this was true- I have an experience to talk about. You might have noticed I was gone for a whole day a while ago, with no message on social media either. Long story short, I went to their world. I would go on, but again, most of you are still against my stance. Also, I am uploading this, to stress something out.

Please, please, please, don’t do anything to disturb them.

I beg all of you, especially any officials, if there are any, to not barge into my home and asking how I got there. I will not allow it. My friends and their nation have warned me, not to allow anyone from my world to enter theirs. Call me harsh, but humans have already ruined one world. I will not allow you all to make the same mistake only to pass it down to my friends, who have done nothing wrong. Equestria is their home, and no country, in my opinion, has the right to disturb them, just for science. You must realize, there’s a price to discover that science.

For the controversy, I won’t be online until things settle down. I don’t want to be caught in the matter, and I wish all of you to calm down and stop. It is ruining my life, my friends and the community we have built together. If they would, I’ll be more than glad to start teaming up with my new friends and record videos to prove their existence. But right now, with all the hate and suspicion of one another, and the greed of the humans from past experiences, I’m afraid that won’t happen for a long time coming.

This video won’t have anything. No comments, no like/dislike system, no ads, no sponsoring. I’m sending this message out, to all of you.

Please, just leave me, and Equestria, alone. I don’t want to see them invaded. Please, stop.

*beep*

Video uploaded.

I put the video up on YouTube. For the whole world to see. Once I did, I grabbed my phone, and I set off through the portal Twilight had set up for me. When I did go through, it was already nighttime. But, I wanted to find Twilight. I promised her a sleepover tonight. It’s been a week since we saw each other last time, after all. And that was only for a short moment.

While I wandered around the Canterlot Castle, I ran into somepony familiar, who was looking out of the big windows of the hallway. The moon was shining brightly. I sighed in bliss as I walked over. She noticed my steps, and turned.

“So you made that video?” Twilight asked, “How did it go?”

“It was alright, Thanks,” I said. “You should be Glad- I wouldn’t be leaving for a month at least.”

“*giggles* Really? Why?”

“I’m going to take a break, and let the controversy about us chill. Things are getting heated in my world.”

We walked back to my room. But before I opened the door, I told Twilight something.

“I don’t know if you’ll know what this is, but...”

I took out my phone.

“Would you mind if I took some pictures? Of us? Together?”

She giggled. “Of course not!”

When we finally entered and sat down, I asked her to hold the phone with her magic as I set a timer for the phone to take pictures. Both of us were frisky and kissed each other for the first two rounds.

“Okay, Okay,” I said. “Twi, can we just do a normal one?”

“Okay, sure.” She replied, smiling. “*sigh* Oh, and Nathan...”

“Yes?”

She wrapped her wing around me. “Let this be a reminder. Of our close friendship. I love you, and I wouldn’t let that change. Okay?”

I nodded without hesitating.

“I wouldn’t change our bond either. Not ever.”

We put our arms and hooves to bring each other close lovingly. I tugged her ear and she licked my cheek, making both of us laugh. After a while, we stopped being frisky for one second, and we finally set the timer up. As we brought each other close, I just smiled and winked, while Twilight nuzzled me and had a big, big grin.

“Smile, Twilight!”
