Locked Out of Heaven

Luna stood in the dream realm, looking at the imaginary watch on her hoof as she sat there with her resting bitch face. Forty-eight sheep, forty-nine sheep, fifty-

“What the hay do you want from me?!”

“Ah, there she is,” Luna smirked, snapping out of her thoughts to stare at Celestia’s marefriend, stomping towards her. “Twilight Sparkle, the star to my moon, you should know the answer to that by now.”

“I’m not the star to your anything!” Twilight snapped. “Your sister loves me, why can’t you accept that!”

“Oh, great stars!” Luna’s eyes widened. “I would never deny or taint such a precious feeling. I’m happy for you two, Twilight.”

“Then why the winking, the dream spying?” Twilight demanded.

“Twilight, you’ve had the same dream for several nights in a row, on several occasions.”

“Oh no.”

“Yes,” Luna smiled gently, walking closer to Twilight. “About a specific mare, two actually. Neither of them are your current marefriend, I might’ve stretched the truth to my sister.”

Twilight felt her hooves shaking, her thoughts dashing like ping-pong balls in search for an escape from the dream-elephant in the room. Her eyes began to water as she looked away.

“Twilight,” Luna hugged the purple alicorn, nudging her closer. “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Many mares across Equestria have their own harems, or polyamorous trios. There’s way too much love and harmony to be shared with just one pony.”

“And besides,” Luna whispered. “You pushed those feelings of her deep down, you just wanted her and your brother to be happy. You didn’t want to choose between me and your sister, nopony is blaming you for your choices.”

“When I saw you doing that to her,” Twilight admitted. “It awakened feelings that I hadn’t felt in a long time, it scared me night after night…what do I tell Celestia? She’ll think I don’t love her enough, that she disappointed me somehow.”

“I’ll admit, she hasn’t quite pursued her past students to the extent she’s pursued you,” Luna admitted. “They were on-and-off lovers, the lot of them. But she made you an alicorn to love and cherish for eternity…”

“We should’ve gone over what was okay before our love-making,” Twilight sighed. “I’m such a dumb cum-whore, skipping the long talk and cutting to the fucking-”

“No,” Luna growled. “You of all ponies, are not a dumb whore. It’s never too late to speak to her about what is best for you, and what will make you happiest. Whether she wants to stay on the train or jump off is her choice.”

“Do forgive me, Twilight,” Luna whispered once more. “I did not expect this to touch a nerve inside you.”

“It’s okay,” Twilight looked at Luna, a gentle smile lifting upon her lips. “You have a beautiful voice, Luna.”

“Thank you,” Luna smiled back, feeling the fluffy warmth within her chest, one that was new to the moon princess. “Act upon this dream, or don’t. Do what your heart tells you, Twilight, and sleep well.”

Luna pulled closer briefly, feeling Twilight’s breath tickling her muzzle, before pulling away and disappearing into the depths of the dream realm. Twilight felt the same fluffy warmth, dancing dangerously from the tips of her ears to the bottom of her hooves. More than she would’ve liked.

“T-Thank you, Luna,” Twilight whispered, laying down and succumbing back to her dreamless sleep.
