When Stars Transcend The Line

-1st person: Astin-

I opened the door with my key and we were instantly hit with warm air. The blue alicorn gave a hum of approval slipping from behind him to begin exploring.

"Ok, first rule of business. Don't touch anything until I prepare my house." He said sternly as he shut the door behind them.

"What about the floor?" Luna questioned with a growing smirk.

"Luna, please." Celestia admonished shaking her head as she decided to observe my living room.

I give a slight smile to the blue alicorn "Yes. You can touch the floor."

She responded by letting out a rather unladylike groan and stretching her entire body out on the ground. Celestia rolled her eyes as Astin chuckled.

"If I may, Astin the human, do you know anything about Equestria?"

"Hmm..." He dragged a spare blanket from the depths of his closet in thought "It's actually a world in a different universe. A kid's show in this world to be precise called My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic."

"Friendship is Magic?" Celestia questioned sitting on the floor as he laid the blanket on the couch as he dug back into the closet.

"Yea, about a unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends as they defeat various enemies. My best friend loved that show, still loves it to this day. She loves to cosplay."

"Coplay?"

"Cosplay." He corrected "It's when you dress up as someone from your favorite show." Astin grunted as he slid a cord around his neck and pulled a giant, folded pile of material.

"Interesting. If I may ask, what is that?" Celestia inquired as she backed away to make space.

"Blow up mattress. This is where you will sleep."

Luna poked it in distaste "Looks uncomfortable."

"Luna!" Celestia started only for Astin to raise a hand.

"I'm aware. It is because I haven't prepared it, yet." He inserted the nozzle and flicked the switch as a loud whooshing sound filled the room.

"Now. Time to bathe." He added after making sure the pump was secure.

Celestia nodded almost hesitantly as Luna rolled to her hooves.

"Are you calling us dirty?" Luna said with a playful smile.

"Yes, you have mud caked on your face, hooves, and wings. You're lucky I let you on my carpet."

Luna gasped in mock hurt before following the human, who disappeared to find his destination. They walked into the hallway where there was a staircase at the end with 3 doors on each side.

"Do you live alone?" Celestia questioned as he turned into the second door on the right.

"Yea. Me and my species didn't really get along. Same crap everyday. My family had some land and I had a house built." He said softly as he turned on the shower head and pulled off of the hook that kept it attached to the pipe. He ran water in his hand to test the temperature.

"I see..." Celestia whispered leaning her muzzle forward "This will do nicely."

Astin yelped a bit as she levitated the shower head from his hands and wet her fur. Most of the dirt seemed to wash off her fur almost instantly.

"Dos- I mean do you have soap for me and my sister." Luna questioned with genuine curiousity.

"Oh fuck, let me look." He ran from the bathroom and went into the other part of the bathroom in another room. Astin searched under the sink and pulled out a Japanese cherry blossom bath and body works soap. It was mostly full.

He walked back into the bathroom. Instantly, the soap was enveloped in a blue aura and he was pushed out.

"Rude." He stated before walking out the other entrance. I walked upstairs and grabbed a small white board with a clip.

"I guess we could do a small Q&A" He walked downstairs.

Luna rubbed the rich lather into the solar princess's sensitive ears making sure to wash every crease in behind them.

"Luna, must you be so rough with him. He has offered us his home and bathroom. You're acting like a stuck up foal." Celestia whispered leaning towards the skillful hooves as her ears twitched.

Luna rolled her eyes "I don't trust so easily."

"Just.... Don't bite the hand that feeds us." Celestia sighed in exasperation. Luna nodded giving a soft kiss to the tip of each ear.

Her sister lets out a small squeak as she begins shaking like a wet dog. Her fur makes a humorous flapping noise as she rises.

"Collar fur." Luna said absent-mindedly as she levitated the bottle towards the alabaster alicorn.

The now clean alicorn looked down to see her fur was puffed up in a ring of puff. Her horn glowed as she brushed down the fur with her magical strands.

"Perfect." Luna chirped bending over to allowing the white alicorn to clean her back.

"Such pretty fur..." Luna whispered touching a hoof to her foreleg.

When the alicorns finished their bath, It was 10 at night. Astin couldn't believe they took a whole hour in the bathroom running up the hot water.

When they arrived into the living room, however... It was a different story.

Celestia was gorgeous, for a horse. Her fur was a soft almost white-pink color. Her magenta eyes had a cherry center that looked like glowing rubies. Her fur looked like it would glow if the sun shone down on it the right way. She even had a natural golden eyeshadow.

Luna on the other hand was a dark blue that looked like the night sky. Her eyes were the brightest of blues that looked like the ocean tides. Her fur absorbed and reflected the moonlight that shone through the window in a beautiful illusion.

Astin gulped and looked down taking out the pump. He instantly caught the plug and shoved it in before grabbing the white board.

"Ok. So how about you explain how you got here. That way we can find out what sent you here."

Celestia levitated the white board and began writing.

In Canterlot, Celestia stared up at the stars. A warm aura with a pristine white coat.

She stared longingly into a mirror waiting for a sign.

Any sign would do.

She wished to mend the bond between herself and her sister.

Should she confront her?

Should she wait?

Her magenta orbs gleamed with unshed tears.

"Oh Luna..." She whispered in a sorrowful melodic voice.

She watched as the mirror began to slowly glowing with a mysterious magic.

"And that's how I got here. The mirror trapped me in its gaze and I was sucked in somehow."

Luna perked "Something similar happened to me." She levitated the white board and wiped it clear.

A dark and gloomy cave hidden within the Everfree, only a lit with silvery moonlight. A sacred place only know of by a certain princess of the night.

Her glass slippers clanking against the ground as her soaked mane and tail hung limply against her. In front of her was a single flower.

Raindrops pooling in its center.

It was her pride and joy.

Her sister would never understand how it was.

Her hoof traced the edge of the petals allowing the droplets to flee into her fur.

What she didn't notice was the puddles beginning to glow around her.

"Then I was here, next to my sister."

"Strange. I honestly have no idea what to tell you. Magic isn't my forte." Astin grunted pulling his hair.

Luna gasped sarcastically "Nooo... We hadst nay idea."

"Luna. You're slipping."

"Sister, talking like this is tiring. My muzzle doesn't like it."

"Can we get back on track?" Astin requested.

"Of course. So what is the human world like?" Celestia questioned.

The human thought "We are quite technologically advanced. Technology is the center of human life today."

"Technology?" Luna layed on the mattress.

"Like my TV or my laptop. Just places to store hundreds upon thousands of years of information despite only being around for a few hundred years."

"Wow... Humans are quite the species." Celestia said with starry eyes. He nods and turns on the TV. Football is playing.

"Incredible..." Luna added shuffling around as she laid on her side.

"You can watch this while I shower." He pointed to the button and explained what they did before laying the remote on the couch. Celestia grabbed it in her magic and began flicking through channels.

"Oh my god! They killed Kenny! You, Bastards." The Tv blasted as Celestia and Luna laughed. Astin rolled his eyes as he undressed and stepped into the shower.
