The Forever Burning Embers of Love

Chapter 10: An Unexpected Turn of Events (Mature At Beginning)

Previous Chapter

The radiant glow of the morning sun slowly made it's way into the bedroom, being beautifully reflected across the room by the glass windows. The room was specially designed this way so that it would "capture" the light of the sun, and even the moon.

Luna's eyes slowly fluttered open as she awoke from a very peaceful sleep. Despite the fact that she got a very good rest, there was a trace of lingering tiredness in the back of her mind, but it was barely there, and by ignoring it, it just about disappeared, so she decided not to worry about it. She found that her hooves were wrapped around Blaze's toned body, therefore were very warm from the heat of it. Luna looked up at him; his face was towards her, and he was sleeping lightly, his mane hanging in front of his eyes slightly. The alicorn then thought of how much her life had changed in only two days. For the time in which she was sent to the moon to after she came back, she had felt miserable. Now, she was in bed with her eternal love for which she would give anything to be with. She smiled widely at her fortune, and kissed him on the lips gently, trying not to wake him up; she thought she'd allow him to rest as she made minor preparations concerning her appearance, since she wanted to look her best for Twilight and her friends today.

However, as she slowly inched her way from out of the bed covers, she heard a quiet voice, which she instantly knew was from Blaze.

"Good morning my love, don- don't-" he stopped as he let out a long yawn. "Don't feel bad about waking me, I was barely asleep." he spoke, moving closer to her. "That was a very good kiss, considering you thought I wouldn't be awake to feel it."

Luna smiled and moved back over to him from her half-out of bed position, and slowly pulled his head towards hers, causing their lips to meet for a tender kiss. Blaze sighed in content as he kissed her, holding her dearly. He slowly pulled away and took a long look at her, admiring her extreme beauty.

"What did I do to deserve you?" he asked lovingly.

"You were yourself, and treated me like nopony else..." Luna said, nuzzling his cheek with hers affectionately.

"I want to be able to spend every moment of my life with you, forever." He said, being nothing but entirely truthful with himself.

"I wouldn't have it any other way..." Luna responded, looking directly into his deep golden eyes.

The black pegasus continued staring at her, when he suddenly remembered something. "Aren't we supposed to see Twilight and her friends today?" He asked quickly, hoping Luna didn't forget, and, realizing she didn't as no shocked expression made itself visible upon her face, relaxed.

"Yes, I was about to say so myself, shall we go? We don't need to eat here, I'm sure Pinkie Pie and Applejack will have brought some of their delicious food to the get together." Luna said as she quickly straightened her mane with her magic, not bothering to wear her crown or jewelry, since all the ponies who she would be meeting she knew personally, especially the Wonderbolts, being her personal flight team.

Blaze, instead of agreeing right at that moment, moved even closer to her, so that his relaxed breaths warmed her neck whenever he exhaled. "Oh, Luna... before we do that, would you like to.. have some more fun?" he inquired suggestively, looking directly at her with those passion filled eyes of his that Luna loved.

Luna giggled at this, and replied, "Well, we do have a few hours, considering that I planned to meet with Twilight at her house around noon. However, she very much prefers to stay on schedule, so if you don't mind dear, we shouldn't wear ourselves out too much."

"Mhm..." Blaze mumbled, rubbing her chest slowly. So is it fine if I cause you to orgasm once? I know that mares can do so multiple times in a row... so that shouldn't be too exhausting for you." He asked, getting excited gradually, his heart thumping in his chest at a quickening rate and his wings beginning to twitch in early arousal.

"Oh, I definitely don't mind, but what is the occasion?" She asked, because Blaze was quite often extremely tired and not in the mood for anything in the mornings, to the point of where he'd sleep in until his necessary flight practice.

"It is a reward, my dear love. A reward for being you, for being the best thing ever to happen to me, and giving my life true meaning." he spoke softly with a genuine smile, blushing a little bit.

At that moment, Luna felt like melting in complete happiness, and she let out a quiet squee as she slowly reached out her hoof. Blaze kissed it gently and then pressed his against hers, looking directly into the dark alicorn's beautiful blue eyes. She stared back at him, slightly teary.

"I... I can't express how much I love you. It's more than anything in all of Equestria, for sure. I don't deserve you." she spoke, a few tears of joy running down her cheeks.

Blaze wiped them away with his hoof, speechless for the moment, and spoke, "I could say the same about you. Everything about you is perfect. The most beautiful mare in the world, always thoughtful, selfless, and... the one who went out of her way to get to know me for who I really am. I love you so much, more than my love for flying, times infinity. I.. don't know what I'd do if I lost you again." Blaze said, tearing up himself.

"I.. can't even-" Luna stopped and went forward, kissing him with as much of the infinite amount of admiration she felt for him as she could muster. She wasted no time in pushing her tongue into his mouth, and tasting him.

The two stayed together like that for a few moments, and right as pulled apart, Blaze gave her a grin. Luna gasped as she felt his tongue slowly sucking around the base of her horn, and tiny kisses being planted around that area as well.

"Oh... I almost forgot about that." She whispered slowly with a sharp intake of air as he continued treating the base with the dexterity of his tongue and hit a sweet spot.

Luna felt her wings spreading already from the pleasure being brought to her, and her horn was glowing dimly from the stimulation. Her feathery appendages extended completely almost instantly as Blaze closed his mouth over the tip, causing her magic to shoot a few centimeters up with a magical poof!

"Mmm.." I see that you're enjoying this as much as I am..." Blaze said suggestively as he removed his mouth from her horn and began massaging her shoulders with his strong hooves.

Luna didn't have near as much tension as before she had brought Blaze back, but she was loving the attention he was now giving her shoulders nonetheless.

"Y-yes... please don't stop." she managed after a whimper, from the amazing feeling.

"I wouldn't even think of doing such a thing!" He responded as he continued working out every last uncomfortable feeling in her upper back.

He gave her a quick kiss as he now rubbed the undersides of her wings, another very sensitive place for her.

She responded with a relaxed moan as he applied light pressure to them, careful not to hurt her, as her wings were easy to accidentally bend. As she began to feel a warm sensation in her nether region, Blaze obviously noticed, as he smiled devilishly, moving his hoof slowly down her chest, stopping just above her awaiting marehood.

As this was happening, Luna had her head laid back, eyes closed in pleasure as she was feeling his hoof descend. She looked at him pleadingly when he stopped, desiring the wondrous feeling of his appendage inside of her.

"Are you ready, my love?" Blaze asked, by now both his semi-golden wings and hardened member showing his arousal quite prominently.

"Y-yes... please pleasure me..." Luna begged, the burning heat in her loins almost unbearable.

In response to this, Blaze wasted no time in complying, and lowered his head so that it was level with her moist folds. He eagerly placed his hoof on it, feeling her liquids dampen the end of the leg, and began rubbing it, causing a slippery noise to be made as he massaged her privates, currently around the edges.

Luna groaned softly as he did this, the feeling in her erogenous zone bringing her increasing ecstasy. As she felt his hoof increase in speed, she began panting softly; this felt unbelievable, and he had only just begun.

Before he continued, the dark pegasus suddenly kissed her on the mouth passionately, removing his hoof from her marehood for a few moments. The alicorn sighed into his mouth as she stayed with her lips locked with his.

After the kiss ended, he returned to her folds, taking in her scent with a grin; she was obviously enjoying this a lot, and he was made happy by the thought that he was pleasing his mare. Then an idea struck him; it would create the definite epitome of orgasms for his beloved Princess.

Luna's eyes closed in a sudden feeling of pleasure as Blaze used the side of his hoof to expose her aroused clitoris, and closed his lips over it, sucking it gently.

"Oh, I... ah.." Luna couldn't speak, feeling too good as her lover rolled her sensitive nub in his teeth very softly, prodding it with his tongue as he did so.

Luna began to feel a heightening sensation in her loins, and continued to moan and gasp as Blaze pleasured her. She was going to tell him of her impeding orgasm, but she couldn't even bring herself to speaking correctly in this state.

When Blaze stuck his dexterous tongue completely inside her and explored her sensitive walls, she nearly went over the edge, one more lick would do it, and Blaze could tell by her very shallow breathing and tensing up marehood.

Before she released her sexual tension, he stood up, quickly and skillfully lined himself up, and thrust his primed member into her dripping folds, causing her to immediately shout out and fall into a state of complete bliss, her orgasm by far the best she'd ever experienced.

As she slowly came down from her sexually euphoric moment, she was panting softly, still feeling amazing in the afterglow of the fantastic release Blaze had caused her to feel. She stared at him as she caught her breath.

"I... I loved my reward, thank you so much Blaze, it really meant so much." Luna exclaimed, nuzzling his face with hers.

As Blaze pulled out of her, he grinned and responded,

"I'm glad you enjoyed it... now, what do you say we have a good breakfast with your sister, and then enjoy ourselves a little until we see Twilight and her friends?"

Luna nodded, and slowly stood up, wings returning in their folded state at her sides, as she walked alongside with her lover to meet the princess of the sun for a calm morning meal.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The sleek dark pegasus and his mare were on their way to Twilight's house. The two had had a peaceful and enjoyable talk with Celestia at breakfast, and Luna had then attempted to explain to Blaze some of the new innovations and changes that had come to be while he was deceased, so that he wouldn't be completely clueless. She was originally worried that he may have trouble catching on, but when she showed him a few of those things, he seemed to catch on quickly and with great interest.

As they landed in front of the library, Luna decided to try to calm Blaze, who was probably quite nervous.

"Trust me my dear, this won't be as unnerving as it may seem to be right now." Luna assured him.

"It's alright trust me, I'm used to talking to mares." He said with a grin, seeing Luna's confused expression.

"Oh, no no, you were my first and only love, but... due to my looks and the fact that I was captain of the Firebolts, I had many mares lining up just to see me." He said, smiling at the thought of how crazy his fans could get, especially the feminine ones.

At this, Luna rolled her eyes, and responded,

"I'm assuming none of them were close to as good looking as me?" she asked jokingly.

"I wouldn't say that..." Blaze replied, but immediately regretted that joke as he saw her hurt expression.

"It's okay... I know I'm not the prettiest mare in the world..." Luna said, feigning a pained look, and closing her eyes, making it look as if she were to begin sobbing.

"Oh no.. Luna, I didn't mean it!" Blaze said worryingly, but started to get suspicious as he thought he saw a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"GOT YOU!" Luna shouted, running into Blaze's hooves and kissing him repeatedly, on the face and neck mostly.

"Of course you did!" Blaze responded excitedly, kissing her back, as well as embracing the mare strongly, chuckling softly as she held him and licked his chest.

"Awwwwww." came a voice from behind them, startling them both.

As the two lovers turned around, they saw a blushing Twilight, who spoke quickly,

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I saw you land from outside, and..." she paused, smiling and turning redder, "I didn't expect you two to do this here."

Luna looked at Blaze, and him back at her, and they both smiled back.

"It's alright Twilight, we're done... for now." Luna reassured her, flicking her tail across Blaze's face as she began walking towards the studious violent unicorn.

"Oh, in that case, are you ready to come in and meet my friends, Blaze?" Twilight asked the pegasus, who was still recovering from being bombarded by the lips of his love.

"Yes Twilight, I believe I am." He said, smoothing out his mused mane with his hoof quickly, and then following the two mares into the book repository.

"Everypony is just in the backroom. Applejack and Pinkie brought food, and though I covered the books with 3 layers of plastic, I still couldn't risk any food getting on them! I don't know what I'd do if that happened!" The unicorn spoke dramatically, her voice deepening when she emphasized on 'what'.

Blaze looked a bit confused at her sporadic behavior, but Luna just rolled her eyes.

"It's Twilight." She said simply.

"Will you go in first my dear? I'm not sure how they'll react to me..." Blaze said nervously.

"No, we'll go in together, hoof in hoof." Luna responded, holding out hers for him to take in his.

He nodded, took hers, and opened the door; walking inside.

As soon as the mares inside noticed the entry of their princess and her lover, all noise ceased. The athletic pegasus laid back, eyes closed, saying triumphantly, "And that's how I won, it was a piece of cake!" She finished, clearing her throat at the abscence of applauding hooves. "Um guys, aren't you gonna-" she stopped as she opened her eyes, noticing the two now-present ponies, looking away and blushing as she muttered "Sorry" quietly.

Not wanting the newly awkward silence to last a second longer, Luna raised her voice.

"Hello, I have arrived with the most kinda stallion to ever live, and you may know him," she paused, looking over especially to rainbow dash, and the two Wonderbolts that could make it, Spitfire and Soarin.

"This is Velocious Blaze, captain of the Canterlot Firebolts, from one millennium ago."

Everypony gasped, and was now gazing in awe at him, and so now more awkward silence would occur, the pink party pony decided to be the first to greet him. She shot up and out of her seat and was buzzing at him from excitement in front of Blaze. "Hi there, I'm Pinkie Pie! I don't know how you're alive, because you sound really old! Do you like partying all the time? Because I REALLY do! It was nice meeting you, enjoy your time here!" She said excitedly as she almost flew back to her seat, smiling widely.

Blaze was shocked, that pony seemed a bit crazy to him, but he accepted it. Who was he to judge anypony because of a first impression? He noticed Twilight, who was standing patiently next to him and Luna, mouth the words, "Please forgive me" as she facehoofed.

Blaze felt Luna remove her hoof from his, and instead drape a wing over his back.

"Are you alright dear?" She asked Blaze, concerned.

"Y-yes, I'll be fine." he managed to respond.

"W- wait a second there Princess, but did you just call him... dear?" The orange farm pony asked, confused.

"Why yes Applejack, I was aware that two lovers may refer to each other as such, am I wrong?" Luna asked, not sure why Applejack was surprised to hear this, but then it hit her; she didn't tell any of them that she was in love with Blaze, since she assumed Twilight would do it for her.

"Oh... oh my! I'm so sorry I left that detail out!" Twilight spoke quickly in sudden realization.

Luna took a deep breath, and spoke.

"You are all quite obviously wondering how Blaze is here with us now. I think it would be best for me to explain." She paused to admire the captivated expressions of the ponies in front of her.

"I was very depressed, and felt as if I lacked the love that was shown to me before I became Nightmare Moon, when I had Blaze." Luna stopped as she saw the hurt expressions of her friends, and Twilight looking down.

"L-Luna, I'm s-so sorry I didn't pay as much attention to you as Celestia. I know it's my fault you were lonely, and-" Twilight was stopped as Luna placed a hoof on her shoulder.

"No, Twilight, none of this was your fault, and I love having you and your friends. My problem was of my own faults, please don't blame yourself." she spoke softly, giving the saddened unicorn a small squeeze. "You can sit down now." Luna whispered as she resumed her place next to Blaze.

As Twilight took a seat next to the boastful blue pegasus and the two Wonderbolts, Luna resumed her explanation.

"So, to put it in terms of which are easier to understand, I resurrected him with an ancient and forbidden form of magic." She stopped temporarily on purpose, grinning at the awestruck mares and stallion before her. "Don't worry, he's alive as he was one thousand years ago, just in a different way." She finished, satisfied that what she told them wouldn't raise any concern or discomfort.

She was expecting a bit of awkward silence to follow, perhaps somepony to ask how such a thing was possible, but none of that happened.

Suddenly, the hardy work pony got out of her seat, smiling.

"Howdy there Mr. Blaze! Pleasure to meet ya! Name's Applejack." she said in an enthusiastic greeting, holding out her hoof.

Blaze shook it, and replied, "Hello! Y-" he stopped, admiring her strength, "have quite the grip!" he told her, smiling.

"Well, ya shouldn't be too surprised, I am quite the hard worker, running Sweet Apple Acres, you should visit sometime!" she told him.

"Heh, I'll be sure to do just that." he replied, releasing her hoof, and rubbing the hoof she had held; it felt pretty numb.

Applejack looked at him doing this, and chuckled softly as the pure white unicorn with stylish purple mane trotted towards Blaze.

"Hello there darling. Rarity, fashion designer at Carousel Boutique, you seem like a very generous pony, Mr. Blaze." she said, looking directly at him, still in slight awe.

Blaze could not stop staring back at her; he was blushing slightly due to her extreme prettiness.

"Is something the matter?" asked Rarity, looking at him in slight concern.

"Oh, no, it's just that it's rare I've seen such a mare with as much beauty as you, besides Luna." he spoke, seeing as Luna rolled her eyes and grinned.

The attractive white unicorn's eyes sparkled at his compliment, and she turned a bit crimson herself.

"Why... why thank you Mr. Blaze! I must say, you are very handsome as well! Princess, you are very lucky to have met a stallion who possesses such attractiveness and etiquette!" she told the dark princess, causing her smile to grow even wider.

Rarity then returned to her seat, made happy because of how kind Blaze was to her, and her brilliant mind was already at work thinking of ideas for outfits and apparel she'd make for him and him alone in the future.

Next to stand up; albeit shakily, was none other than the timid butter-yellow pegasus with long pink mane, Fluttershy. She walked over slowly, trembling slightly. He was being kind to her friends, but what if he found her shyness to be a fault, and end up disliking her?

The thought scared her, and it was evident when she made a nervous little squeak as she reached Blaze.

This concerned him for a few moments; would she be too afraid of him to even introduce herself? He looked at her worryingly, saying, "It's okay, I won't cause you any harm."

Lune tried to go over and help, but this only caused poor Fluttershy to shake even more, and whimper softly in fear.

"Fluttershy dear? He is quite the gentlecolt, please don't be afraid." Rarity said to her quivering friend.

She finally gained enough courage to speak, though very softly.

"H-hello Velocious Blaze. I-I'm Fluttershy, and I..." she stuttered, overcome yet again by the fear that he'd dislike her.

"It's wonderful to meet you Ms. Fluttershy, you need not be afraid," he spoke with a soft smile as he knelt down to her eye level, since she was huddled on the ground and still partially hiding in her mane, previously shaking.

Reluctantly, the timid pegasus looked up into his golden eyes, being as courageous as she could.

She saw none of the anger, danger, or sadness she'd expect a millennium-old pegasus to have. Instead, she saw love, trust, and happiness.

This just about instantaneously calmed her, and she stood up to full height, causing Blaze to happily do the same.

"And I am the caretaker of many wonderful animals!" she finished with a small grin, proud of herself for overcoming her anxiety.

Everypony was a bit surprised; Fluttershy was never this calm around anypony who was new to her. She even seemed to be acting towards Blaze with such an amount of comfort, it was as if she had known him as long as her other friends.

"Nice to meet you! You sound like you live up to your element!" Blaze exclaimed, relieved that she was no longer scared.

If Luna remembered one thing to tell him about Twilight's friends before they arrived, it was the Elements of Harmony, and which mare represented which element. He was happy when he realized that he excelled in just about all of those qualities. (Asides from laughter and magic, Luna reminded him).

"Oh, well... that's very kind of you!" Fluttershy exclaimed softly, looking away with a small blush and smile.

Luna wasn't too surprised to see the flushed look on these mares' faces, even one thousand years ago, everypony, mares and stallions alike, thought Blaze was extremely handsome, and this type of reaction wasn't new to her. She thought to herself how, although there may be some stallions with his attractiveness, none of those were close to being as wonderful and thoughtful as him.

"I- I'll let Rainbow Dash have her turn now, she's been waiting," Fluttershy paused as she glanced over at the cyan pegasus, who looked unhappy with having to wait and was tapping her hoof on the table quickly.

"Would you hurry up? I really wanna meet him!" Rainbow interrupted.

"Rather patiently." finished Fluttershy, rolling her turquoise eyes and hovering back to her seat, turning a tiny bit red and hiding in her mane once more to hide it when she looked back at Blaze.

As she saw Rainbow prepare to launch herself at Blaze, Applejack looked a bit concerned.

"Uh, Ah think we were right to have her go last, Ah can't imagine she'll be adorable and cautious like Fluttershy just was." she spoke quickly to Rarity.

"Don't worry dear, he's a Firebolt, and a performer of his caliber is most definitely used to a crazy fanmare like her!" Rarity responded, trying to be optimistic.

Only a few seconds later, Rainbow landed infront of Blaze, the fast air created by her dash blowing her mane slightly over her eyes. Doing this caused Blaze to flinch slightly, and then put on his best smile.

"Why hello there! I-" he was cut off as Rainbow interrupted,

"Hiya! Name's Rainbow Dash, you can call me Dash if you want! I always dreamed of being able to meet you! You're like... the BEST flyer of all time!" she shouted, fluttering her wings in joy. "You're like, SUPER AMAZINGLY AWESOME!" she said with an excited squee. "You are like, an even more skilled Wonderbolt!" she said right after. "No offense." she added, looking back at Spitfire and Soarin.

"It's fine, Rainbow Dash..." Soarin replied, chuckling softly; half at the pegasus' behavior, the other in nervous awe of who was standing before him.

At this moment, Blaze could have sworn his mane was blown backwards from her very loud and excited voice, and he spoke quickly before she could cut him off again, "Somepony is a big fan!" with a look of pride.

"A fan! Of course I am! Flying is one of my biggest passions, next to my friends!" she added. "I- is it true, about your wings?" she asked, not sure if this could be, or it was just a legend.

"See for yourself." Blaze spoke with a smile, as he speedily opened his wings.

At the sight, everpony gasped in shock, except for Fluttershy who jumped a considerable height and nearly toppled over in her chair. The light reflected off of his golden underfeathers shimmered brightly.

This caused Rainbow to squee, and do her famous "Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!" as she put a hoof up to her mouth.

After a few more moments, Blaze folded his wings, and the brightness of the room seemed to lessen a bit.

"As you just saw, my wings are certaintly more than an old pony's tale!" he spoke with a large smile.

"I know that now, and it's soooooooo cool!" We gotta fly sometime, you can teach me some of your old Firebolt maneuvers!" Rainbow practically shouted in joy.

This was unseen by anypony before; Rainbow Dash asking to be the one taught?

"I love pushing myself, I really wanna become a Wonderbolt!" she half-whined, looking at the female Wonderbolt, who seemed to be shaking ever so slightly; but there was too much excitement present for Rainbow to notice.

"As soon as we have a spot, I-I'll do what I can." she replied, letting out a small whimper, covering her mouth as soon as she realized it.

Blaze was about to ask, but was stopped when he saw Rainbow staring at him, waiting for a response.

"Of course! You are already proving to be one of the most interesting and determined ponies I've ever met!" he replied, of course entirely truthful, but his attention was brought back to the shaking golden-coated mare.

"Wow, this was SO fun meeting you, we gotta hang out sometime!" she told him, flying back over to her seat, vibrating in evident excitement.

Soarin was trying his best to comfort her, but to no avail.

"Um, miss..." Blaze started, not sure how he could help, whatever the problem may have been.

"Spitfire, just... it's Spitfire." the captain mare spoke unsteadily, walking towards him slowly.

Tears were forming in her eyes as she began to speak.

"Four years ago, I f-formed a team of extremely skilled fliers, using the title 'The Wonderbolts', which I-" she stopped temporarily, now standing directly in front of Blaze, tears now streaming down her flawless yellow fur. "Which I got from the Firebolts, started by my ancestor." she finished, looking directly into Blaze's confused eyes, seeing the realization slowly starting to dawn on him.

He couldn't believe this, but he knew in his heart she was telling the truth. He actually had a descendant? A living, breathing, famous... granddaughter? Tears of his own were struggling to break through,

"S-so you're my..." he stopped as he heard a simple,

"Yes."

At that exact moment, Luna felt a slight pain in her head, and closed her eyes. Right as she did this; she couldn't explain what happened next.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

She seemed to be in her own body still; she could feel her immobilized self, but the princess was seeing through the eyes of a young pony, the actions of who she couldn't control.

"Oh, my Celestia, I have to make it to the hospital to see this before I'm too late!" an early teenage male spoke as he flew quickly in said direction.

Luna took notice of the very old and no longer used architecture of the buildings of which this pegasus, whoever he may have been, was flying past.

This must be at least a millennium ago Luna thought to herself as she watched this scene before her.

A strong blast of wind from the right caused the still maturing pony to stumble in the air, and clip his left wing, sending a few night-black feathers to detach themselves from his feathery appendage and blow in front of him. Luna could not feel the sudden sharp pain; this was as if she was watching a movie from the main character's point of view.

This determined pegasus was young, flying fast with almost no flaws, and was black as her cutie mark. Could it be? The mane was too short for her to see without looking up; if this was indeed her lover, he must have just gotten it cut.

He had seemed to shrug off the pain of his now less efficient left wing, and whispered, "damn" with a wince.

The pony arrived at an old fashioned hospital, and galloped through the doors, panting from his recent physical exertion.

"Where is my mother?!" he shouted to nopony in particular, causing a few ponies in the lobby to look at him with curiosity, others seeming to know him.

He seemed to- no, he was growing more anxious by the second. At that moment, a light red nurse with long, light blue mane, approached him calmly.

Luna's suspicion was confirmed when the mare said,

"Mr. Blaze?"

He nodded quickly and asked hurryingly,

"Is she alright?"

The medical mare smiled and replied,

"Follow me."

Adolescent Blaze was still a bit nervous, even though the nurse didn't look concerned, he had to see for himself his mother's condition.

He was led to one of the rooms, and achieved exactly what he wanted to; he saw it for himself.

There was his father, the normally work-hardened pegasus crying tears of joy as he looked at his wife.

Blaze's eyes widened at the sight before him; he had never witnessed... this, before.

His mother, a light grey pegasus with even darker grey mane. She had large, beautiful, knowing ruby eyes. She was also holding something, and that something happened to be a newborn foal.

Dumbfounded, he began slowly walking over towards them.

"Velocious..." she spoke, smiling softly.

"Hello, beloved mother, I'm... sorry, I was-" he stopped as she weakly held a hoof up to his mouth.

"It's okay, all that matters is that you're here now, dear son." as she kissed him lovingly on the forehead. "As you can see, you now have a new baby sister." she told him quietly, giving him a better look.

Cradled in the tired mare's hooves was a smaller than normal (though still healthy), filly pegasus. She was a dark blue, though not quite as dark as Luna. However, her mane was a sleek black, similar to Blaze's fur.

"I- I'd like to hold her, if that's alright." Blaze asked politely.

"Of course dear." his mother replied, gently passing over the small foal to her son.

Blaze very carefully and curiously took the baby in his hooves. He was experiencing something he never had before; he was now the older brother to a living, breathing being.

Luna was made very happy by this, and realized the tear-obscured view of the newborn pony she now was seeing. Blaze, like his father, had begun crying in happiness. A single one of his warm tears rolled off his cheek and onto the foal's forehead.

This caused the tiny being to stir, and she slowly opened her eyes, gazing upon her elder sibling for the first time.

"Your father and I have agreed that you should be the one to name her." he heard his mother speak.

Blaze nodded, and then saw her eyes. They were a rare color, a light grey, and looked like a misty color, which seemed to naturally reflect the light of the room onto Blaze's face.

"She's... beautiful." he spoke, new tears making themselves present in his eyes.

Her coat and mane reminded him of the beautiful night sky created by his princess of the night, whom he always had an interest in and wanted to meet someday. Her eyes... their fullness and color reminded him of the moon.

"Shimmering Night." he told his mother, sure of himself.

She smiled, and nodded, looking over at her husband for his approval. He spoke with pride,

"Yes, I think that describes her perfectly. Today, I became the father of the beautiful Shimmering Night."

Shimmering Night raised her stubby forelegs in the air towards her brother. Blaze grinned and brought his head closer to hers. His smile grew even wider as he felt the sensation of her sucking on his left ear, causing him to feel happier than he had in a very long time, if there even was one in his life close to being as beautiful as this one.

Seeing the whole scene made Luna feel like crying, Celestia would occasionally remind her of the day Luna was born, and she didn't truly know what the pure white goddess could have felt until now.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Suddenly, the scene began to fade away, being replaced by temporary darkness, and then Luna's vision of the physical world she had always known had returned.

However, something happened that made no sense to her whatsoever. What she just saw; by now it made itself obvious to be a memory of Blaze's, must have been about ten minutes. In the room of the library she was in, it had looked like only a second or two, if even, had passed, since Spitfire had just finished nodding in response to Blaze, and was now staring at him.

"I... I thought I'd never have any family again!" Blaze exclaimed, now crying freely.

He embraced the golden mare tightly, feeling her shaking body in his hooves, comforting both himself and her. The emotion they were showing one another was so genuine, so pure, it was truly a beautiful sight.

"B-Blaze, I... always wanted a family member I could relate to. One that-" she stopped, sniffling and allowing Blaze to wipe the constantly flowing tears away as best he could.

"Yes? What did you want, dear granddaughter?" Blaze asked, quickly through a choked voice.

"One that understands and enjoys what I do!" she shouted, holding onto him even tighter. "Thank you, so much!" she told him, feeling an overwhelming amount of happiness make itself present.

"it's... the least I could do." he spoke with a genuine smile, rubbing her back slowly.

By this time, everypony was crying at this spectacle. Even Soarin, who was normally able to hold back such emotions, could not, seeing his best friend so happy. Pinkie Pie was bawling in Applejack's hooves; the farm pony wiped a tear away from her eye and spoke,

"Now Pinkie Pie, it's alright, this truly is beautiful."

Fluttershy was hiding her reddened eyes in her long mane, and crying softly, making small whimpering noises; the site of this was quite sad, and Rarity was holding the yellow mare tightly.

"Now, now Fluttershy, let it out." the pristine white unicorn told her shuddering friend.

And there was Twilight and Rainbow, the two mares holding each other lovingly and assuringly.

"H-ha, Rainbow, I didn't think I'd ever see you, out of anypony, to cry." Twilight spoke as she acknowledged the redness of the light blue pegasus' eyes as she tried her hardest to keep back her emotions.

"Oh, I- I could never do t-that." Rainbow choked out, the pressure becoming too great; her vermillion eyes felt like they had more of a liquid force behind them than the dam she failed to stop from breaking in the incident with Mare Do Well. "Oh, never mind, I don't see why I was hiding it! Oh my Celestia this is sad!" she exclaimed, breaking out into tears as she held on tightly to Twilight, who was caught off guard; Twilight herself was the one who she'd expected to be sobbing more, but she was quite mistaken.

By now, Luna's head had began throbbing painfully, and she put a hoof to it. She made her way over to Blaze and Spirfire, and when she looked at the two, they seemed to have been brought back from the personal moment they had just experienced, and separated.

"You don't know how much happier I'm going to be now because of you." Spitfire spoke in a soft, happy tone.

"I could say the same for you, you beautiful, amazing mare." he replied, smiling.

Luna had tried to, but was unsuccessful in ignoring the pain she was feeling in her temple, most likely from what she had just witnessed.

Luna led the two ponies to the table, and took a seat; there were now three empty chairs, all next to each other. The other mares and stallion had moved, allowing them room.

Blaze then noticed a sad looking Pinkie Pie walk up to him from the side.

"Velocious Blaze?" she asked, her ears down and her gaze downcast. Her mane was also of a darker hue, and perfectly straight.

"Yes, Pinkie?" he replied, wondering what the party pony had to say to him.

"I- I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for earlier, and how... rude my first words were. I can just be really crazy all the time, I shouldn't have treated you, of all ponies, that way." she told him.

As he opened his mouth to speak, he noticed her look further away and whimper in fear of what she thought was to come, and he felt Luna wrap her hooves around him. He took a deep breath.

"Pinkie, it's fine. While I wasn't expecting that, feel free to act yourself whenever I'm around." he told the shaky mare before him.

"Wait, you're not mad? You're not going to hate me?" she asked, the surprise easily discernible in her voice.

"No, I'm not. Why would I hate a mare just because she wants to be her normal, eccentric, interesting self?" he asked with an obvious tone, and a sweet simle.

"Oh, that's a good point..." she said, her shaking getting more violent, but it was no longer from sadness...

Blaze didn't even flinch as she flew into his hooves, her mane inflating yet again in his face, and she nuzzled his neck, sighing softly. He felt her breathe softly into it, and he rubbed her back slowly.

"Thank you so much!" she said as she jumped out of his hooves and to the other side of the room, to a cart covered by a white cloth. "I brought CUPCAKES!" she yelled for everypony to hear, pushing over the cart and tearing off the fabric over it, allowing everypony to smell the scrumptious-looking treats, the multi-colored sparkling sugar sprinkled over the frosting, which was perfectly placed on each one.

Blaze smiled; the mare may have been crazy, but her attitude sure did make him, and it seemed every other pony around him, happy.

"Oh, uh, I kinda forgot to tell ya, I brought some food, fresh from the apples at Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack exclaimed, thanking Rarity and Twilight as they took the plates off of the cart and placed them on the table with their magic.

Luna looked at the delicious food before her eyes, and inched closer to Blaze, lightly kissing him on the cheek.

"Enjoying yourself, dear?" she asked, the thought of what had just happened to her still there.

"Yes, I am, quite a bit. I loved meeting you all; you are such great ponies! This will be great enjoying this... very healthy lunch with you all!" he told everypony, beaming.

"Yes, let's do just that, Blaze!" Spitfire said as she reached for a slice of apple pie. "Say, Blaze, would you like to work off these calories after this with me, Soarin, and Rainbow?" she asked him, taking a bite of the wonderful dessert.

Blaze felt very happy as he heard Rainbow exclaim, "A chance to work out with the Wonderbolts... and Blaze? YES!"

"Yes, I really would like that." Blaze replied, reaching for a cupcake with light blue icing. "Why wouldn't I want to spend time with my new best friend, and granddaughter?" he then asked.

"I'm honestly not sure." Spitfire returned with a smile.

In the meantime, Luna had just about recovered from her vision, and was enjoying some apple fritter. She loved it; Canterlot didn't have many desserts that weren't extremely complicated and exquisite; the homely taste of this was great to her.

She finished it, and took a look around. The mares were talking to each other, seeming absorbed in their conversations. Luna gently poked him in the side.

"Yes?" he asked, turning around, finishing his cupcake and licking his lips.

Luna didn't respond, instead she looked into his golden eyes. She had previously seen some sadness and loneliness, but that had been replaced with calmness and relief; due to how he still had a family member, and had made many friends today.

She leaned forwards, so that she could feel his breath on her face, and how it increased in speed; he must have been excited.

"I love you, and I'm so glad you now have friends and family again. You being sad was horrible, and I'm glad it's over." she told him.

"I am too, thank you for everything; for allowing me to meet these great ponies, and my descendant. It means so much, more than you could ever imagine." he responded, moving his face even closer to hers, so that they were only centimeters apart.

She felt the powerful feeling of love for him surge through her again, and she pushed forward, pressing her lips against his, and wrapping her hooves around his head. She kept doing so; her emotions could have been literally spilling out.

Blaze didn't recoil at all. Instead, he pushed back with equal force, and moaned softly. He had noticed that all the chatter around them had stopped, but he didn't care about that now. He felt her tongue enter his mouth, and he accommodated her desire, entwining hers with his.

Luna tasted the sweetness of the cupcake's frosting on his tongue, and enjoyed it for a few moments more. She pulled away slowly, untangling her tongue with his.

A string of saliva that connected their mouths dripped down onto the table, and he looked around at the quiet mares around him. Applejack had removed her hat and was smiling at him, and spoke,

"Awwwww, how sweet." she whispered.

"Wow! That sure was super fun to watch!" Pinkie shouted.

"Oh my..." Fluttershy said quietly with a blush.

"Well that was certainly more interesting than what's in the books..." added Twilight with a sheepish grin.

"What a beautiful, genuine display of affection!" Rarity beamed.

Rainbow had her wings extended, and she whispered, "T-that was... hot." as she blushed; all of the ponies could tell she was aroused by the deep kiss Luna had just shared with Blaze.

As for the Wonderbolts, Soarin had a silly grin on his face, and Spitfire was snuggling against Blaze, happy he had such a great mare as his lover.

"Um, sorry?" Luna asked, wondering if what she and Blaze had done was inappropriate.

"It's fine, Luna." Tiwlight assured her. "We just thought it was so sweet!"

"So you don't mind if me and her do things like this in front of you all?" Blaze asked.

"Nope." said all but one pony simultaneously.

A few seconds later, Fluttershy added "No, w-we don't mind at all."

Luna noticed how Fluttershy's wings were extended as well.

"I'm so sorry for my wings, you're just, so hot!" Rainbow exclaimed, followed by a short nod from Fluttershy.

"I- I apologize as well... I've tried to get it to stop, but I just can't!" Fluttershy squeaked.

Luna smiled as she thought back to the time she first saw Blaze, and her wings had done the same, causing quite a bit of embarrassment for the youthful princess.

"Oh, I... didn't know that I still had that effect on mares." Blaze told them, starting to turn a bit red.

"Awwwww.... he's so cute when he's blushing!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

Everypony looked at her and began chuckling softly as she had realized what she said, burying her face in her hooves.

Luna was happy the other mares were enjoying Blaze's company so much. However, she knew that she and him couldn't stay here forever.

After a few more hours of enjoying herself, Luna had said goodbye, and Blaze had embraced everypony one last time; Spitfire for the longest, and had departed. The two had a peaceful flight back to the castle, but Luna had told Blaze that her sister would be expecting her to return to her royal duties.

Blaze was saddened at hearing this, but quickly had his hope restored when Luna said that he'd see her every night, along with each meal every day, unless there was a dire emergency and Luna couldn't come.

She had told him that it'd be best for him to spend time with his new friends, especially Rainbow Dash, and his relative, Spitfire, while she worked it out with her sister so that she'd be doing more royal work that allowed her to be closer to Blaze.

As Luna touched down on the edge of her tower, she told Blaze to make himself comfortable; she was going to talk to Celestia about something real quick.

As Blaze nodded and sat on her bed, he nuzzled against the dark blue blankets and sighed adorably, causing Luna to squee and feel very happy, but she was still a bit nervous about what she was about to show Celestia.

She then used her magic to teleport the very book she used to resurrect her lover and herself to her sister's balcony, and noticed that the large glass doors were locked.

Celestia was replying to her daily letters, when she heard a knock on her balcony door. She looked up and saw her sister, who looked quite nervous.

Celestia stood up, stretching, and trotted over to the huge doors, opening them and welcoming her sister.

Luna simply walked over to Celestia's bed, dropped the book down, and sighed.

"Sister, we have quite the subject to discuss."
