Gamer Luna

“Sis! Where are you?! I know you took them!” Luna called out down the royal hall.

There was no answer and Luna was growing irritated with her prankster of a sister. Luna had just came back from her daunting and simply boring duties as a princess. Dealing with couriers and aristocrats everyday that constantly complained about politics and such was already nerve testing in itself and she really was not in the mood for Celestia’s games. Despite this, at least she could look forward to her night’s of endless gaming and ‘The Royal Pwnage Of Noobs’ as she called it sometimes.

What made it even better though?

Today was Saturday and she would be raising her night very soon, which meant her friend and fellow gamer, Derpy Hooves, was coming to the castle for the night.

How did this come about?

During Nightmare Night, when Twilight was showing her around Ponyville and teaching the norms of everyday society, Princess Luna had taken notice of the crossed-eye mare bobbing for apples. She couldn’t help but talk to the mare and find out more about her and found her pretty freakin’ awesome. She had a love for games just as she did and Luna simply couldn’t let an opportunity like that pass by. Thus, began the Royal Pwnage of Noobs Nights.

Though, it’s very hard to have such a night without her Xbox 360 controllers that she knew she had left on their charging port this morning before attending to her duties. Of course, Princess Celestia would be the only pony in the entire castle that dared take her sacred controllers; any other pony knew the wrath they would incur if they dared laid a hoof on them.

“Tia! Where are you?! I want my controllers back and I know you took them!”

Luna searched up and down the hall, checking her sister’s chambers, searching the grand hall, and even had went outside to the gardens. Despite her efforts, Celestia was nowhere to be found. There was no way in Tartarus that Luna was going to go out and get two new controllers just because her sister hid them from her. Now granted, this hadn’t been the first time Celestia has done this and usually Luna would find them just sitting in her sister’s chambers for whatever reason. Never could she figure why she took them but today was not the day for her sister to be testing her.

The alicorn thought to herself. She reviewed the possible places that her sister tended to spend most of her time. She had already checked her room so that was already ruled out instantly.

Could she still be busy? No... that can’t be. She would be in the grand hall then.

This was a life or death moment for the alicorn. If she didn’t have her controllers, her and Derpy’s night of gaming would be ruined. Her computer was in the shop being fixed and such after Derpy somehow blew it up by playing Guild Wars, which Luna believed was the reason the machine exploded. Such poor games had no place on her computer and such mediocrity probably caused her computer to have such a fiery reaction... but that was just her belief... and Luna didn’t own a PS3, so choices were very limited.

Then a horrible thought occurred to her. If they couldn’t get their game on, no doubt Celestia would take the opportunity to make them feel... uncomfortable. Now her sister was the Ruler of Equestria, there was no arguing that, and with such a title Celestia was free to do whatever she wanted to any pony she chose... anything she wanted. Anypony who knew Celestia knew that she was very... flirtatious to say the least; sometimes even beyond that... most of the time beyond that.

Luna couldn’t let that happen. So far she had been able to avoid Celestia when Derpy was over, afraid that her fellow gamer would be scared away from her sister’s scandalous and rather blunt acts. Luna resolved she would not let that happen... no matter the cost.

But how was she going to find her sister when she really had no clue where she could be? She pondered what she could possibly do... and then it came to her.

Luna quickly made her way to Celestia’s chamber and opened the two golden doors. She passed the bed that was covered in silk sheets with a giant bottle of hard cider sitting on the nightstand beside it. If Celestia was going to take her valued items, the very tools needed to satiate her gaming lust, then she would simply take something of value to Celestia. Luna’s horn lit up and opened the small drawer of her sisters nightstand and pulled out a rectangular case.

Luna grimaced as she glanced over the cover that read “The Naughty Student.” She didn’t know how in Equestria her sister enjoyed these kinds of movies. She didn’t know how they could be even called movies in the first place. Regardless, she knew Celestia treasured her stash of sinful flicks and would know when one went missing.

She began to make her way out of the room. She poked her head outside the hall, looking up and down the hall making sure the coast was clear. The last thing she needed was some pony or guard seeing her with such a dirty movie in her mouth and have them thinking she was just the same as her sister.

Clear.

Like some type of ninja, she traversed the hall with a blinding quickness and silence. She had to be or risk being caught by her or Celestia’s guards... or worse... Celestia herself. No doubt if her sister caught her with this right now she wouldn’t see it as a way of trying to get her controllers back, but would think that she actually wanted to watch it. Celestia would never let her live that down.

Princess Luna made her way out to the gardens and looked over yonder to her tower that stood above Canterlot. She spread her wings and quickly flew over to it, just now wanting to get to her room. She landed gracefully on the stone platform and opened her door to her chamber, finally in her safehaven.

There were a multitude of posters adorning her walls. Ones ranging from Gurren Lagann to Call of Duty, along with a variety of movie posters like The Coltfather. Her bed stood caddy corner with linens that were made by Derpy for her past birthday. They were covered in pictures of muffins and even had the scent of blueberry’s with it. She absolutely adored them and they were very comfortable on top of that. On the side of her room against a wall stood a tower of electronics; her ‘Tower of Power.’ An 85’’ inch HD T.V. stood triumphantly in the center, sandwiched between two towers that held speakers and electronic gaming accessories and models. Luna was not one to short-change herself when it came to gaming and movies. She wanted the full experience, and by her sister’s name, that’s what she got. This was her prized jewel; the creme de la creme of everything that was awesome and epic.

Luna looked outside of her window out into the sky. She still had a few hours before she had to raise the night and Derpy’s arrival. Celestia would soon find out that one of her DVD’s went missing and for sure come to see her about it, and hopefully give up her controllers in exchange for-

“Hi little sis!”

Luna yelped and fell to the floor. She looked up at her and saw Celestia standing over her with a smile.

“How are you doing Luna? I haven’t seen your flank all day,” Celestia said, her smile now turning into one of satisfaction. Luna disregarded it, still a bit startled.

“Tia! How the hay did you get in here? I been looking for you all over the castle!”

Celestia chuckled.

“ You left the door unlocked again and I was a bit busy Luna. Today was initiation day for the incoming guards so I had to give them their proper initiation of course. What kind of ruler would I be if I didn’t perform my duties?”

Her stomach turned. Luna knew full well what initiation was and she could only help but feel terrible for those poor recruits. She got up from the floor and asked the question she needed answered from the beginning.

“It seems I forgot about that but I was looking for you because my 360 controllers are missing.”

Celestia cocked her brow.

“Well where did you put them?” she asked.

Luna frowned. This prank of hers had gone long enough. She had to prepare for tonight and Celestia was holding her up.

“Don’t play me dumb Tia. You’re the only one that takes my controllers around here,” Luna accused.

Celestia now looked confused.

“Luna, the only thing I’ve taken is some stallion’s virginity today,” she said with almost a proud tone in her voice.

Oh dear... I didn’t need to know that.

“I... uh...” Luna felt her cheeks begin to heat up in embarrassment of hearing such a blunt statement. She quickly gathered herself. “Then where are they? I left this morning on their charging port and now their gone.”

Celestia seemed to ponder Luna’s inquiry, then suddenly lit up.

“Oh! I know where they are, almost forgot to tell you. Your friend Derpy was here at the castle this morning and took them. I didn’t ask why, kind of just assumed you already knew about it.”

“Wha? She never told me that she would be here this morning...” Luna trailed off. Celestia was many things, but she wasn’t a liar. Why wouldn’t Derpy tell her such information? Never had she done this before, and why didn’t she at least say hi or something?

“Isn’t tonight where you two play your video games and stuff?” Celestia asked.

“Yes and that’s why I was looking for my controllers so I could prepare for tonight... but I guess if she has them...”

“Oh don’t worry Luna, I’m sure she has a good reason.”

There was a short pause between them. One wondering about her friend and one pondering a question she was dying to ask. Celestia broke the silence.

“So, I been meaning to ask this for a while but with all the mares and stallions I attend to I never get the time.”

Luna sighed. She loved her sister dearly, despite her - unique traits- but she just really wanted her to leave now. She didn't want to risk hearing stories of her sexual escapades. Her mind was still wanting to know why Derpy hadn’t said anything. It wasn’t really a big deal or anything since it was Derpy, but why wouldn’t her gaming pal at least mention anything to her? Luna let the thought sit in her brain and brought her attention back to her sister.

“Go ahead and ask,” she said, waving her hoof nonchalantly in the air, knowing she was going to regret this somehow.

A grin spread across the white alicorn's face.

“So are you and Derpy bucking each other or what? You two spend so much time with each other I would think you-”

Immediately Luna interrupted her.

“What?! No! We’re not doing that! That’s gross Tia! We’re just friends!”

Celestia wailed in laughter.

“What’s the matter Luna? You seem so defensive about it.”

Luna’s cheeks turned a tinge of red. She should have saw this coming. Anytime Celestia saw her with Derpy or even any other friend for that matter, she would always have to come up with something dirty about it.

“You know I don’t like hearing that stuff sis. Besides, unlike you, I’m saving myself for that special somepony one day.”

Celestia’s laughter waned down as she rolled her eyes at Luna.

“Oh don’t start with me on that again Luna. My duty is to protect and serve my subjects. I am simply doing a whole lot more serving is all, and they don’t seem to have a problem with it by the time I’m done." Celestia's face came very close to Luna's now. " I could show you if you want.” A sultry grin came across her face and Luna choked, not able to say a word through her disbelief.

Celestia took notice of how frozen Luna was and backed her face away, chuckling to herself.

“I’m just kidding Luna. I wouldn’t do my own sister... though you are growing to be one attractive mare. Maybe one day you might have a plot as good looking as mine.”

Luna’s face flared in extreme nervousness and anxiety.

Why does she do this to me?

“Well I better get going. I have some letters to read from Twilight so I better answer those before she loses her mind again... hopefully she sent pictures this time like I asked.”

Oh by Starwirls Beard, please leave...

“Oh, and I’ll take my DVD back.”

Luna had completely forgotten about that. She was too wrapped up in the moment that she failed to realize she still had Celestia’s questionable movie. She picked it off the ground with her magic and gave it to Celestia.

“You know Luna, if you just wanted to watch one of these you could’ve just asked.”

Luna deadpanned inside, still horribly flustered.

“That’s not why I had- nevermind.”

There was no point in explaining. Celestia would somehow turn it against her and make some type of sexual advancement or joke out of her explanation.

“Well, I’ll see you later Luna. I hope you and your friend have a real good time,” the alicorn said with a smirk.

“Haha, funny Tia. I’ll see you later,” Luna replied sarcastically.

With that and a bright flash of light, Celestia was gone and Luna relaxed herself. Celestia was her sister, and she wouldn’t have it any other way, but sometimes she was just a bit too much for her at times.

That was one of those times.

So the case of the missing controllers was solved but now it only left one question in her head. Why did Derpy Hooves take them?

I’ll guess I’ll ask her when she gets here.

That’s all she could do for now, but at least they were in good hooves, so that was comforting in a way than being in Celestia’s. She could only imagine what devious purposes her sister would use her precious gaming tools for... she shook her head as thoughts came into her head about what Celestia could do to them.

Nope! Not thinking about that! I have a night to get ready for.

Indeed she did.

Luna unhooked her dark regalia and removed her black crown, putting them in their respective places. She summoned her headset, custom made black steel with her cutie mark present on it.

She was done being Princess Luna for now.

Tonight was her night with her friend.

Tonight was the night that the poor unfortunate souls online would cry and bow before her onslaught of pure pwnage.

Tonight, she was Gamer Luna.

Level 2

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 2

Her Best Friend

“Perfect.”

Princess Luna admired her work, and had to say it was her best setup yet. For the past hour, the alicorn had been setting up her room for tonight’s festivities, just like she always did to prepare for her and Derpy’s night of games.

Her ‘Tower of Power’ was plugged in and ready to go. Her T.V. was set to the highest resolution with the clearest picture. The sound system was fully powered and numerous speakers hung across the room. Sound was a very important element to Luna. She wanted to hear every bullet, every enemy hoof step, and the cries of defeat of any who was unfortunate enough to be put against her.

Now, Luna was no novice gamer and she knew that you could have the best entertainment system in Equestria, but there was one very important element that really made such a glorious night...well, glorious. No serious gamer that would hold such an event with a friend or group of friends would dare forget this element. It was almost like some type of sin to Luna if she ever went to a gathering of such and it didn’t have the most important part.

Snacks. Caffeine infused, sugary, salty, delicious snacks.

There was a table set up across the room littered with an assortment of chips and dip, candies, baked goods, and soda. Snacks were essential if one wished to stay up through the night and to be at the top of their game. When Luna played, she played to win, and victory only came with proper preparation and nourishment.

So all in all, this gamer was more than ready. It was almost overkill but it didn’t matter to her. Gaming was her passion, almost to a point where she sometimes questioned if maybe she had gotten the wrong cutie mark.

So all that was missing was her beloved friend Derpy and a certain pair of controllers that the mailmare for some reason taken this morning without telling her. Luna no doubt wanted to know why but Derpy was her friend, and like her sister said, she probably had a good reason. Maybe there was something wrong with them and Derpy had some hidden ability to fix electronics, or maybe she modded them, in which case she would appreciate the gesture, but Luna had no need for mods. She knew she was a pony that put the bad in badass when it came to video games, and nopony could say otherwise to her. Was it a bit conceited? No, this was just confidence.

Luna looked out her window and saw her sister’s sun setting, meaning in only mere minutes, she would raise her night and The Royal Night of Pwnage could commence. Excitement and anticipation bubbled around inside her; she even let a small squee escape her due to such excitement.

Knock!

Luna jumped and quickly turned around to her chamber door and saw Celestia standing there, leaning against one of them. The white had a small smile on her face and her golden crown and regalia was absent.

“So it seems you're ready for tonight then huh little sis?”

She exhaled, calming herself seeing that it was just Celestia.

“Tia, why must you startle me like that? What’s the point of knocking when you're just going to walk right in anyways? What if I wanted some privacy?”

Celestia smirked at her and rolled her eyes.

“And what would you be doing that’s so private then Luna?”

Luna quickly caught on to what Celestia was trying to do. It seems her sister had no bounds when it came to that certain subject.

“That’s none of your business Tia and before you even start thinking about it, it’s not that.”

Celestia walked into the room and looked at the setup of her sister’s chambers, laughing gently to herself.

“Whatever do you mean Luna? You act as if I was going to think something ill of you or maybe even,” she gasped bringing her hoof to her mouth and turning to her, “ You thought I was thinking dirty weren’t you?” she said mockingly with a sly gleam in her eye.

The dark alicorn rolled her teal eyes, wondering if there was ever a moment that her sister had her mind out of the gutter, though she highly doubted it. She could only thank her stars that she wasn’t the same way.

“Anyways, what do you need sister? I’m sure you wouldn’t come all the way here from your... activities... to just talk.”

Luna didn’t mean for that to come out so harshly but it was almost time for her to bring the night and she didn’t want to be delayed in doing so. The quicker she brought the veil of darkness, the quicker she could get online. The fact that Derpy would be at the castle very soon played a part as well of course.

“I just wanted to see what you were up to,” Celestia said with innocence, shifting her eyes around.

Luna didn’t buy it. There was never a time Celestia just came by her chambers to just talk, unless it was about dominating yet another stallion or mare. It would always to play some kind of joke on her or try to make her think of something inappropriate or...well, let’s not get into that part.

“You know what I do every Saturday night Tia. So what’s the real reason you're here?”

“Okay fine,” Celestia began, seeing that Luna wasn’t going to accept her facade of innocence, “I was wondering if you could tell me how I look in a certain costume I got for Nightmare Night coming up in a few weeks.”

“You actually got a costume? You don’t ever dress up for Nightmare Night. Why start now?” Luna replied, wondering what would bring about this change. Was this possible? Was Celestia actually asking her help with something that didn’t involve some type of hidden sexual motive underneath it? She had to hear the reason for this.

“Yes, well, stalking certain ponies is losing a bit of it’s luster for me so I want to change things up a bit,” she said shamelessly.

“Wait, wha-uh nevermind, I don’t want to know,” the alicorn said, bringing her hoof to her face.

That was probably for the best. Luna rather remain ignorant to her sister’s activities or risk having her mind filled with too many scenarios and rather explicit images.

“Well, will you?”

As interested as Luna was about Celestia actually wanting to wear a costume for Nightmare Night, it had to wait.

“Tia, I would but can it wait until tomorrow? I have to go and raise the night and my friend will be here within minutes.”

Celestia beamed, almost disturbingly. She seemed way too happy to hear such an answer.

“That would be perfect! Now maybe somepony can give you me an honest answer on how my ass-”

Knock!

Before Celestia could finish, both her and Luna looked over to her door. Immediatly one thought ran through Luna’s mind.

Derpy.

“Oh, am I interrupting something? I didn’t mean to, I was just looking for Princess Celestia since she requested me here...” a gentle voice said with nervousness.

Twilight Sparkle?

“Oh good, you made it Twilight. Did you bring the camera?” Celestia said, making her way over to her student.

Luna was confused. First the fact that Celestia was going to wear a costume for Nightmare Night, and now Twilight shows up at the castle? Usually Celestia would tell her when Twilight was coming. What was with every pony not telling her things all of a sudden? Why was she asking these questions? Why did she care?!

“Yes, I brought it just like you asked, but you never specified in your letter why I was to bring it though. Are we doing going to be taking pictures of some floral specimens or some type of field research with it?”

“Oh, it’s definitely for field research my faithful student. Just a special type of research that I haven’t shown you yet.”

Of course, Twilight being one to always please her mentor obeyed without question and Celestia followed after her, turning back at Luna and giving a quick wink before disappearing.

Luna’s mouth dropped.

Is she really going to- no, not to her own student. She even has limits... I think.

Without another word, the white alicorn and the lavender unicorn left, leaving her alone once again. Luna rubbed her forehead with her hoof, wondering what the hay her sister planned to do with her student. Twilight was a smart mare, nopony could argue that, but Luna didn’t see how she could be so oblivious to her sisters ways. Regardless, she only hoped that Celestia would stay busy for the rest of the night, whatever that was, so she could enjoy hers with her friend without interruption.

She looked back out to her window. The sky was a mix of orange and red and the sun was steadily disappearing across the horizon. It was time for her to raise the night. Luna finally left her room and walked down the marble floored hall, with both her and Celestia’s guards standing at the sides, still and watching. They bowed their heads as she passed by but there was no time for idle chat. She just wanted to perform her last royal duty for the day and be free from anymore obligations.

Luna turned left out onto a balcony that overlooked the royal gardens and gave a perfect view of the sky above. She closed her eyes and focused. Her horn lit up and her ever-flowing mane and tail began to sparkle more than usual. Her body began to glow, giving off a dark blueish aura, and the sky above her seemed to melt slowly into darkness. The color of orange and red was overtaken, and small speckles of flickering lights appeared in the sea of black. Thousands and thousands of stars slowly awoke and showed off their little lights. Luna opened her eyes, now a bright glowing white, and lifted her moon. A bead of sweat ran down her face but she continued. The moon began to slowly illuminate the dark sky along with her stars. A few moments later, the moon’s luminous rays was over Canterlot and she had finally ushered in her night until her sister brought the sun up for a new day.

Her mane and tail went back to normal and her body returned to it’s normal self. Her eyes went back to their teal color and she took a deep breath. The task wasn’t hard but it required much focus on her part.

There has to be an easier way of doing this... only if portal guns were real.

Luna looked out and inspected the night. There was no star out of place and the moon was far enough from the planet, so no worry about it causing a world disaster like almost once before when she was much younger.

Well, since that’s done...

“Woah... so that’s how you do it.”

Luna’s eyes went wide. She knew that small, adorkable voice from anywhere. She quickly turned around and met the gaze of two golden askew eyes. Derpy Hooves stood before her near the entrance of the balcony, her face in awe, and a green saddlebag with a muffin logo across it was slung over her back.

“Derpy? You're early...I didn’t even hear you behind me.”

Derpy smiled sheepishly and brushed her hoof across the floor.

“Oh yeah I know, but I saw that you were busy and didn’t want to interrupt you or anything.”

“Oh, it’s okay,” she said, chuckling a bit about how considerate her friend was, “I wasn’t doing anything important or anything.”

“So is that how you bring the night? All the moon and stars and stuff?” Derpy asked, her eyes wide and looking into Luna’s night sky.

“Oh that?” Luna said, pointing her hoof towards the sky, “ Yeah, nothing special. Been doing that for a long time.”

Derpy beamed, obviously amazed in the sight she had just seen.

“Nothing special? That was so cool though, and you looked so pretty while you were doing it. Your body started glowing and your mane was all sparkly...” Derpy continued her description of Luna, and the princess could only help but hold a back a small smile and felt a sudden heat that was rushing to her face from such compliments.

“Why, uh, thank you,” Luna stuttered,a bit flattered by her friend’s admiration.

“Your welcome princess,” Derpy said, now taking the saddlebag off her back, “ I wanted to get here early because I have something for you and I wanted you to see it.”

The controllers.

She had almost forgotten about her missing controllers that her friend had taken. The small discussion with her sister from earlier, the task of raising the night, and Derpy’s praise had almost made that one burning question leave her mind.

Her friend opened the bag and stuck her head in it, looking for items that Luna hoped would be her precious controllers.

“Gimme a minute, I know they're in here somewhere.”

Luna watched in a mix of amusement and perplexity. Derpy looked rather funny having her head and forehooves digging around in her bag but it was also somewhat odd that she could even fit her head inside such a small bag.

“Muffins...more muffins...bag o’ muffins...mail....ah! Here we go!”

Derpy pulled her head out of the bag, and in her mouth, was two xbox 360 controllers... but something was different about them. Much different. They weren’t their usual white color but a glossy black. Luna walked toward her, wondering what she had done to them.

“What... what happened to them?” she said, now taking them from Derpy with her magic, inspecting them.
“Just look and see.”

The two controllers shined against the moonlight rays and on the left side of each handle, there was some type of decal on it. It was a white crescent moon against a dark sapphire background, and splotches of the color around it.

My cutie mark.

There, printed on both of them, was her cutie mark and she didn’t know what to say that could fully describe what she thought about them. How about...epic. She would have never guessed that her friend was able capable of doing such amazing work but why? It wasn’t her birthday or Hearth’s Warming Eve, so why would her friend give her such an supremely epic gift?

“Derpy... these... these are simply mind blowing! How-how did you even do this?!” Luna exclaimed, mouth agape and her eyes still scanning over such tools of beauty.

“I actually had a really good friend of mine do it for me. It was just my idea and you told me about some limited edition controllers that were coming out soon a couple weeks and how badly you wanted them, so I thought maybe I could get you something better,” Derpy said, scratching the back of her head with a coy smile. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you but it was a surprise and I really wanted you to be surprised, even though I got lost a few times trying to fly here this morning.”

The alicorn was at a loss of words. No pony had ever went out of their way to surprise her like this with the exception of her sister, but that was different. Celestia had a tendency of buying her certain things she referred to as toys but they were sure as hell not toys, and Luna never dared touch them. Ever.

“But why? I mean, you didn’t have to do this Derpy. I was just being wishful, I didn’t mean for you to think that you had to do something for me.” Luna now felt a bit bad that she had maybe made her friend feel like she had to do something for her because she was simply expressing her wishful wants.

“Oh I know Luna, but your my bestfriend and I like doing things for my friends,” the grey mare said cheerfully.

“I..thank you,” was all Luna could say.

“Turn one of them on Luna,” the mailmare said, pointing at the middle button with her hoof.

Luna obeyed and turned one of the controllers on. The small green light flashed a few times and then it became solid. The crescent moon on the controller also now lit up a bright white, and the sapphire background glowed behind it and it actually looked like it was sparkling a bit.

“Ohmygosh! That’s so cool!” the astounded princess exclaimed.

Derpy fluttered her wings hearing Luna’s praise.

“So you like them right?

“Like them? Derpy, these are... I don’t if even words can describe how awesome they are!”

Luna immediately set the controllers down gently on the ground and brought her friend over with magic and threw her forelegs over her, hugging her.

“Thank you so much my friend. These are great and I will cherish them forever.”

Derpy hugged her back, wrapping her forelegs around Luna, happy that the princess loved her surprise.

“I’m glad you like them princess.”

She set her down and picked the controllers back up, admiring them once more. With her new epic tools and her best friend by her side, tonight was going to be probably the most wonderful of nights yet. With her controllers now back in hoof, there was only one thing left to do.

“Well, I think it’s time that we quit standing out here and start kicking some pony flank, don’t you think my friend?” Luna asked, not able to wait any longer, especially with such epic controllers.

Derpy plopped her head right back into her saddlebag and within moments, came back out with a silver headset on top of her head. A picture of a muffin was printed on the earphone piece with a name engraved on it reading MuffinMar3. A devilish grin spread across her face while her eyes went two different ways.

“Let’s smack some bitches,” the pegasus said confidently.

“Lets,” Luna replied with a grin of her own.

Luna levitated both controllers and Derpy’s saddlebag in the air and they both began to make their way to Luna’s chambers, side by side. The duo was ready and any pony that was online tonight better had prepared themselves, because these two friends were coming and in the words of Derpy Hooves, they were certainly going to ‘smack some bitches.’

(A/N I’m having fun and you can’t stop me!)

Level 3

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 3

The Beginning of Something...Maybe...and Other Stuff

Princess Luna and Derpy Hooves sat in the middle of her chambers, surrounded by snacks, soda, and a variety of pillows for comfort. Both had their headsets on and controllers ready. The duo were ready but they had to wait a few moments before their gaming could begin.

“You did tell them what time we would be on right?” Luna asked Derpy as she took a sip of her drink.

The pegasus nodded her head as she pulled her phone out.

“Yeah, I called them while I took your controllers to my friend and I used the voice command this time instead of actually dialing....these things weren’t really meant for hooves.”

“Well I guess they are running a tad late then. Let’s give it five more minutes,” Luna suggested. So the two waited in silence with only the munching of chips and muffins along with slurps of soda being all that was heard.

“There they are!” Derpy exclaimed a few minutes later as names came up on the immense T.V. screen.

DJPWN3 is Online

XxGandPT_FTW_xX is Online

PerrohambreV2 is Online

LYrA_TaG_ is online

BBeerry08 is online

“‘I'll send the party invite,” Luna said happily as she put out the virtual invitations.

DJPWN3 has joined the party.

“Sup Derps! Sup Princess!” Vinyl yelled through the mic, making both mares cringe from having their eardrums blasted out.

“Heh, hello Vinyl. I’m assuming by the volume of your voice you had a show tonight,” Luna said, rubbing her ringing ears. Anytime Vinyl Scratch was as loud as her Royal Canterlot voice, that could only mean the DJ blew out her own sense of hearing doing a show.

“You know it! I had that place hoppin’!”, Vinyl yelled once more. Thankfully the two mares turned the volume down before she could reply to save themselves from going deaf.

XxGandPT_FTW_xX has joined the party.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived!”

Derpy face-hoofed herself and muted her mic.

“Luna, why do we always have to invite her?”

The alicorn laughed while she also muted her mic for a moment, knowing how much her friend despised this certain pony.

“Oh come on Derpy, she’s not all that bad. Besides, it’s funny to see her rage after she gets beat. You know it’s funny.”

Derpy let a small laugh escaped her, knowing that Luna spoke the truth.

“Yeah, I guess so. I just don’t like how she thinks she’s basically the best pony there ever was.”

Luna gave Derpy’s shoulder a small playful nudge, trying to lighten her friend’s mood. There was no doubt that Trixie was ‘overly-confident’ but that would change soon like usual.

“That’s why you're here. You can bring her down a few notches. You know she’s always like this until you start owning her.”

Derpy smiled and nodded. She turned her mic back on and proceeded as normally.

“Hi Trixie. How have you been?” Derpy asked, at least trying to be cordial with the unicorn.

“Trixie has been excellent! Trixie has been going around Equestria, showing her amazing and powerful magic that none-”

“Okay Trixie, I think we get it!” Vinyl interrupted, obviously showing a disdain for the unicorn that she had no problem showing. Everypony could agree that they really didn’t want to hear Trixie’s ‘great and powerful’ monologue...again.

PerrohambreV2 has joined the party.

Now this was one pony Luna nor Derpy had never seen before online or at least within their party. Luna knew it wasn’t one of her friends on her list. Maybe it was one of Derpy’s friends?

“Who’s that?” Luna asked, hoping somepony knew who this was.

“Oh! Yeah! That’s my friend! He’s a DJ in Manehatten I met a couple weeks ago! He a real cool guy and he wanted in on the fun.” Vinyl said, her voice now going back to an acceptable decibel.

“Hello!” Derpy said, being the first to greet this new player. If anypony was up for meeting a new friend, it was definitely her.

“Hola!”

“Huh? Um no, I said hello,” Derpy replied, confused now what this pony just said.

“Sí, lo sé y me dijo hola (Yes, I know and I said hello),” the stallion said, still making no sense to the confused mailmare.

Princess Luna chuckled to herself seeing that her friend obviously had never came across a pony that didn’t speak Equestrian. Of course the alicorn knew what the stallion was saying, considering she was an immortal goddess and had met many ponies with different languages in her time, but she decided against telling her what he was saying for the sake of amusement. It wasn’t very common to come across a pony that didn’t speak common Equestrian and to see her friend’s confused face was too funny to her.

“Vinyl, Trixie demands to know why you brought some pony that can’t even speak proper language to the party.”

“Hey! He can talk! It’s just he doesn't know how to speak our language because he’s not from Equestria, but I’m teaching him so lay off okay? Besides, not like you have much room to talk anyways Trixie.” Vinyl retorted in this pony’s defense.

Derpy looked over to Luna with her eyes askew once again, still confused.

“Luna, do you know what he’s saying?”

She shook her head, still laughing inside about all of this.

“I don’t know my friend but I’m sure he said hello to you too.”

LYrA_TaG_ has joined the party.

“What’s up girls? Sorry I’m late. Bon Bon was having me taste test some new candy again.”

“Yeah! I bet you were tasting her candy!” Vinyl laughed through her mic.

Derpy put her hoof to her mouth, trying not to laugh. Luna was pretty immune to the joke seeing that she got more than her share of sexual jokes with her sister on a daily basis.

“Ha ha. Funny Vinyl.” Lyra said flatly, “My sides are killing me from your humour.”

“Thanks! Sometimes I think I should be a comedian.”

“Are we ready yet? Trixie grows impatient.”

“We’re waiting for one more pony Trixie,” Luna said but she was also growing impatient. She was ready to start playing whatever they were going to play tonight. She had been waiting all day for this and she really didn’t want anymore delays.

BBeery08 has joined the party.

“Heeeyy yoouu shexy girls! Did you,” the voice hiccuped,” did you all shtart without me?”

“Berry, are you drunk again?” Luna asked, knowing the answer already but hoping that this mare was at least somewhat coherent enough to at least know she was wasted.

“I...I’m ain’t drunk...just a bit tipsy.”

“Berry, you sound like you been hitting the hard cider again,” Lyra said with a little static coming from her mic.

“Nahhh, I only had about nine..I shink,” Berry Punch said, barely comprehensible through her slurring of words. “Lets...let’s kick some flanks.”

Luna couldn't agree more.

“So, what shall we play tonight? Halo: Reach or Call of Duty?” Luna asked the group.

Trixie was the first to voice her opinion,”These are games that you and Derpy always win in! Trixie wants to know why we must play these? Trixie thinks-”

“Trixe, jusht shut the buck up pleash. Nopony cares whats,” Berry paused, making a groaning sound in her mic, “ what you thinks kay?”

Derpy pulled a pillow to her mouth and bit on it to keep her from laughing hysterically into her mic. She knew it was wrong to laugh at such a vulgar statement but it was funny because she knew how Trixie was going to react.

“How dare you talk that way to the Great and Powerful Trixie! This is why you will never-”

“Hey you two, let’s calm the shitstorm. I want to play some games here, not listen to you two rage at each other,” Vinyl said.

“Thank you Vinyl. Now, which of these two do you all want to play?” Luna asked again.

“I just got Halo today so I’m choosing that,” Lyra said.

“I’m going with Strings on this one,” Vinyl agreed. “What about you Perro? You got Halo right?”

“Si,” said the DJ’s friend.

“Does that mean yes?” Derpy asked.

“Yeah, he’s down,” Vinyl answered.

“What about the rest of you? Berry? Trixie?” Luna said, hoping that the two wouldn’t get into another verbal qualm.

“Fine. Trixie will play Halo though she knows that she won’t win.”

Well at least she can finally admit that. Luna thought to herself.

“You mean that gamewithspaceponish? I’m show in there.”

“Very well then. We will start the night with that then. I hope you all brought your tissue boxes,” Luna said letting a bit of cockiness show.

Derpy got up as if on cue and went to look for the item from one of the shelves that held a plethora of video games that belonged to the princess. Derpy sifted through the titles, carefully looking to find the right one.

“Colt of Honor...Super Smash Ponies Brawl...Hay-Life 2:Episode 3(Ha!)...Halo! Got it!”

The pegasus quickly trotted over to the game console and pushed the touch sensitive button, opening the tray. She carefully placed the disk with her hooves (Don’t ask how, just go with it) into the tray and closed it.

“Alright! Let’s get started!” Luna cheered.

The screen went black and Derpy sat back down beside the alicorn. Luna pressed the A button constantly as she just wanted to skip over the intro and get straight to matchmaking. The main menu came up and she went into the custom game tab.

Luna looked over to the side of the screen, showing the ranks of their fellow party members with only one matching her rank.

MuffinMar3- Forerunner

PerrohambreV2- Field Marshal

XxGandPT_FTW_xX- Recruit

BBeery08- General Grade 2

DJPWN3- Legend

LYrA_TaG_ - Reclaimer

Both Luna and Derpy’s jaws dropped to the floor seeing Lyra’s rank as Reclaimer. Derpy and her had been the highest rank out of all their friends as they were both Forerunner...until now.

“¡Mierda!(Holy shit!)”, Vinyl’s stallion friend cried.

“Took the words right out of my mouth dude! Lyra, you just got this game and you have Reclaimer rank? That’s higher than the princess and Derps here! I thought you didn’t even start playing this until now?!” Vinyl said.

Luna’s curiosity was definitely piqued. How could Lyra have gained such a high rank in so little time when she had never played the game until now? More importantly, how was she a higher rank than her and Derpy?!

“I haven't played this yet. It was probably Bon Bon who was playing it earlier. Is Reclaimer a high rank?”

“Trixie does not understand. Trixie thought she had the highest rank!”

Derpy rolled her golden eyes and sighed.

“Trixie, we keep telling you that Recruit is the lowest rank there is,” the pegasus said politely.

“What?!

“Ha! You so stupids Trixie!” Berry Punch said through her series of small drunken hiccups.

“So I guess I’m highest rank here then? Cool!” Lyra said. “I’m going to have to thank Bon Bon later tonight.”

“Heck yeah you will!” Vinyl laughed.

“Hilarious Vinyl. You know, you make these jokes but at least I’m actually getting some compared to you.”

Luna’s face flared a hot red along with Derpy’s who now both looked at each other, almost asking the silent question of ‘Did she just say that?’

“Hey! I could get some anytime I wanted Lyra. Hell, I could get some right now from my stallion friend here if I wanted it.”

“Errm...”the stallion uttered nervously.

“Trixie is lost. What are you all talking about?”

“It’s called sex, something you’ll nevers get,” Berry Punch said with drunken malice.

“Okay that’s enough girls...and uh Vinyl’s friend...can we just start playing please instead of talking about our personal lives?” Luna interjected with haste before the conversation turned into everypony’s personal life story.

“Whash about you Luna? Has you ever has the sexy times with somes specia pony?”

The entire party went dead silent and her face heated up more than before. She could see in the corner of her eye that even her friend sitting beside her was now looking at her, curious about what her answer would be.

“Berry, what kind of question is that? I’m sure she’s gotten more than we'll ever get in our lifetimes...literally,” Vinyl said over her mic, not knowing how wrong she was.

Luna never really had a special somepony before in her long life nor did she ever engage in such a sensual act. She had her dreams of meeting that special somepony but with having a reputation as the former Nightmare Moon and being one of the royal regals that ruled Equestria, that dream seemed unlikely but it was fine by her. She had her best friend and fellow gamers; that’s all she really needed.

“Um, I rather not talk about that,” she answered, hoping that would end that conversation.

Derpy muted her mic once more and tapped the alicorn on her shoulder, gaining Luna’s attention away from the answers of the other mare’s.

“Have you had a special somepony Luna?” Derpy asked innocently.

As much as she didn’t want to admit that she never had somepony to call her own, she couldn’t lie to this pony.

Were supposed to be playing Halo...not asking about my failed, non-existent, romantic life.

Luna muted her mic as she didn’t want the others to hear her answer.

“I...I never had a special somepony,” she stuttered, now worried that the blonde pegausus would think less of her.

Derpy smiled; almost a smile that Luna swore was of relief.

“Well I’m sure you will have one. I mean, you are really pretty and stuff. Any pony that wouldn’t want to be your special somepony would have to be insane. I never had a special somepony either but I know it’s because of my eyes. Ponies think I’m weird or something.”

“What?! Derpy, your eyes are magnificent though!” Luna suddenly blurted, suddenly realizing what she just said.

Both mares stared at each other for a few awkward moments with both their faces a hot red. Luna didn’t mean to make it sound like that but it just came out. How could anypony not be her special somepony? Simply because of her crossed eyes? Luna though they were pretty unique and actually flippin’ adorkable, so hearing that be the reason was kind of shocking to her.

Derpy finally broke the awkward silence between them that seemed to last forever.

“Well,err, I never had anypony tell me that my eyes were magnificent,” she said, laughing nervously,”Thank you princess.”

Luna quickly nodded, now wanting to end the awkward moment she had just caused

“Oh, uh, yes of course. And thank you for your earlier complement. Now, how about we get this game started,” the alicorn said hastily as she turned away, still her cheeks a hot blush.

That was so awkward...and my face is so hot! Stop being hot!

They both turned on their mics again, welcomed to yet another verbal brawl.

“Trixie, I bet you couldn’t even take a stallion without you complaining like ‘You can’t use that on the Great and Powerful Trixie! It has to go in at a forty-five degree angle’,” Vinyl said, trying to imitate the magician’s voice.

“Bahaha! No puedo creer que ustedes están hablando de tomar pollas (I can not believe you guys are talking about taking cocks)!”

“You need to hang with us more dude, you’ll find out a whole lot about mares,” Vinyl replied through her laughter.

“Okay girls that’s enough. It’s time to play and were wasting the night here talking about...whatever you girls were talking about,” Luna said with a much firmer tone.

“Yes, let’s begin so Trixie can pay you all back for your insults to such a powerful and talented pony as she.”

“So custom games then?” Lyra asked.

“Shlayer! Let’s do some shlayer!” The sound of a cork popping out of something came over Berry’s mic.

Thank You! Finally! Luna rejoiced in her mind.

Luna set up the custom game lobby quickly, trying to get the game started as fast as possible before some other random conversation came up that would turn into questions toward her personal life.

Game Type:Slayer

Map: Powerhouse

Score Limit: 50

Time: Unlimited

“Okay girls, the game is set up,” Derpy said as she watched Luna set the final option. Without hesitation, gamertags started to pop-up in the in-game party lobby, showing that everpyony was accounted for.

It was time to get started; Luna pressed the start button, signaling the beginning of the night and the many rapings that these ponies were going to suffer...figuratively of course.

Six long hours later....

Score: 50-0

“Okay, I give up.” Vinyl declared in her mic.

“Lo mismo digo (Ditto).”

“Trixie for once agrees with the lowly DJ. We have played this for hours and none of us, more importantly Trixie, has not won a single game!”

“Yeah, you guys are too good for us,” Lyra agreed.

Once again, Luna and Derpy owned the carnage report with top marks..for the 30th time in a row. Derpy with her sniper rifle was unstoppable; for her it was headshot after headshot with her handy weapon. For Luna, she dominated with nothing but a plasma pistol and DMR and together, these two gamers destroyed the others game after game for the past six hours. Imagine being smacked that hard...go ahead and imagine that.

“Ish going to bed and havin’ some more cider. Ish can barely see’s the...the...the..” the sound of a hard thud came over the mic along with what sounded like a dropping of a bottle.

Bberry08 has left the party.

“Looks like our beloved drunk has finally succumbed to the cider,” Lyra pointed out, “But I think I’m going to do the same and get to bed. I’m sure Bon Bon is waiting for me anyways and before you even say anything Vinyl, it’s not for that.”

“I wasn’t going to say anything this time!” Vinyl rebuked in her defense but also letting a small giggle escape her as she voiced her innocence.

“Oh come on girls, just one more,” Luna pleaded , the fire of competition and domination still burning in her. She barely even noticed how much time had passed by she didn’t really feel that tired either. On the contrary, she was quite energetic and lively. Maybe it was due to all the soda and salty snacks she had eaten or maybe it was simply that the night was her domain.

“Sorry princess but I really must get to sleep but you can bet I’ll be on next week. I had fun. Goodnight everypony.”

LYrA_TaG_ has left the party.

“What about you Vinyl? Are you still up for another?” Luna asked hoping that the DJ was still game.

“Nah, sorry princess. I think I had enough for tonight and I got to crash. Me and my friend got a show we’re doing together tomorrow so I need to get some shut-eye.”

“Yep,” the stallion simply said.

“Ha! Trixie needs no sleep to do her amazing shows! A true entertainer works hard around the clock to become the greatest there ever-”

“Twilight Sparkle.”

XxGandPT_FTW_xX has left the party.

“Bahahahahaha!” Derpy busted out laughing, rolling onto her back beside Luna as tears began to come down her face from laughing so hard.

“I love how that always shuts her up,” Vinyl said proudly. Trixie was still a bit touchy whenever she heard the name of Celestia’s student obviously.

“Well I suppose you better to get to sleep my friend. I don’t want to keep you both up if you have another show to do tomorrow,” Luna tried to say as her friend continued laughing.

“Alright Princess. Same time again next week right?”

“As always.”

“Cool. Alright Perro, it’s time to bounce. See ya Luna. See ya Derps.”

Derpy quelled her laughter to send her farewell.

“Bye Vinyl and...and friend.”

“Despedida.”

“I’m going to take that as a goodbye. That does mean goodbye right?” Derpy asked sheepishly, still not understanding what this strange stallion was saying.

DJPWN3 has left the party.

PerrohambreV2 has left the party.

The online party had disbanded leaving only Derpy Hooves and Princess Luna sitting in her now dark chambers with the screen set on the xbox dashboard.

“That was really fun,” Derpy said, taking off her headset and setting her controller down. She brought her hoof to her mouth and let a soft yawn escape her, showing that even this gamer was a bit tired.

Luna did the same as she set her controller down and took her headset off.

“For us at least. I don’t know about the others,”she said, thinking back to the numerous headshots that she and her friend got multiple times within each game. It was definitely fun for them.

“I know they did. Everypony had a good time. Especially me,” Derpy said with a smile.

“Why is that? Do you not enjoy our gaming nights?” Luna asked jokingly, already knowing what she meant.

Derpy caught on quickly to her jest and rolled her skewed eyes with a gentle smile.

“I do, but not because of the video games, but because you're fun to play with.”

Luna’s mind went blank for a moment. This was not the answer that she had expected. She was expecting one to the degree of winning and basically destroying opponents but instead Derpy enjoyed it because she, Luna, was fun to play with? It was almost alien to her to fathom such an idea.

“Oh. Well I enjoy playing with you also Derpy. Can’t say I have more fun with any other gamer than you,” she replied, still a bit taken back by Derpy’s earlier answer.

The blonde mare beamed but her pearly smile was quickly broken with another yawn.

“It seems the others weren’t the only one’s tired huh?”Luna said as she took notice of Derpy’s yawns.

“Yeah, probably from all that flying I did this morning on top of delivering mail all day. Oh well, good thing I have tomorrow off,” the pegasus said quietly as she yawned more.

Luna had almost forgot about that. Derpy did fly over to the castle this morning to deck out her now badass controllers and still had to work as a mailmare. This mare wasn’t simply fatigued but probably exhausted.

“Of course my friend. Here, how about you sleep on my bed tonight so you can rest,” Luna offered as she already began to clean up all the empty soda cans and bags of muffins around them with her magic.

“I couldn’t do that Luna, where would you sleep?”

Luna looked into her friend’s eyes, illuminated by the glowing T.V. screen that sat in front of them. She couldn’t help but admire how considerate her friend was all the time, a quality she didn’t find in many ponies that she had met.

“Don’t worry, I have a sleeping bag that I can rest in. I’ll just put it on the floor beside the bed.”

Derpy stayed silent for a moment before suggesting a quick idea that she seemed almost embarrassed to ask.

“How about we both sleep on the bed? I mean unless you don’t want to, that’s fine..I..just...um...didn’t want you to sleep on the floor while I slept in your bed,” Derpy said hastily.

Together?

Luna felt her face heat up for what seemed like the thousandth time this night. She had never actually slept with another pony in bed as she only knew it as something that couples and lovers did. Could friend’s sleep together as well? Her sister told her it was alright to sleep with friends but Luna knew that their definition of friends were much different. Celestia had very close friends compared to her and as the white alicorn would say “I know my friends inside and out.”

Luna shuddered thinking about the kinds of friends Celestia had but she was different, so was it okay? Was it acceptable for her to sleep with her friend?

We are good friends and I’m nothing like Celestia...and I guess I’m a bit tired also.

She quickly thought about it a bit more and resolved that there was nothing wrong with it. They were just friends and not near the status of lovers. They were best friends and gamers. Nothing more.

“Very well then. We can share the bed.”

“Oh! Oh okay..um...I should just let you know I hog the bed sometimes.” Derpy laughed nervously a bit and scratched the back of her head.

Luna laughed.Obviously her friend had no idea how much of a bed hog she was herself.

“Don’t worry Derpy, I’m the same way. If need be, I can just get us separate blankets if for some reason we have a bed war,” the alicorn said, chuckling at the thought of some battle over blankets.

“Heh, yeah. Hopefully that doesn’t happen.”

Luna lit a small candle with her horn and cleaned up the pillows after trashing all the empty bottles and bags with her magic, clearing up the middle of her chamber that her and Derpy had sat in for the past several hours playing Halo with their unique group of gamers.

“I’ll get the tower.” Derpy rose up and began to unplug multiple electronics including the sound system, T.V., and the console itself. Luna set their controllers and headsets next to the xbox nicely with her magic.

“Is there anything else before we go to bed?” Derpy asked.

Luna ran the list through her mind.

Tower of Power is off.

Xbox is off and controllers are put back with headsets.

Cleaned up trash.

Pillows put away.

“I think that’s it Derpy. I guess we can go to bed now.”

It was somewhat awkward to say we in that sentence for Luna since, as said before, she had never slept with another pony before. She always slept alone or they would both just end up falling asleep on the floor from staying up so long but she wasn’t going to make her friend stay up any longer, so Luna had no problem calling it an early night... though it was three in the morning.

Both mares went over to the Luna’s bed. Four fluffy black pillows sat at the head of the bed while covered by sparkling, dark blue silk sheets. It was a bit fancy for Luna’s taste but she was working on getting some new bedsheets, ones that didn’t scream ‘Hey, I’m a princess!’ She wanted some that were basic; simple.

Derpy was the first to climb in but she had to flutter her wings a bit to get on it since the bed was a bit taller than the pony herself. Of course for Luna it was just the right size for her since alicorn’s were naturally taller than other ponies. Derpy snuggled herself under the silk sheets and laid her head on one of the pillows, looking toward Luna who still stood at the side of the bed.

“You coming?” Derpy asked jokingly with a cheesy smile.

Luna nodded. Her dark regalia unhooked and her black crown atop her head floated away to their respective places leaving her now feeling essentially ‘naked’, so to speak ,or that’s how she felt without her royal attire...or maybe it was because she was in the presence of her friend. Who knows.

She climbed into the bed and slid under the sheets and laid her head on a pillow right beside her friends. Luna was careful that her body didn’t touch her friends since she didn’t know if that would be beyond that of friendly contact when sharing a bed.

“Are you comfortable?” Luna asked, wanting to make sure she wasn’t taking too much blanket or anything.

“Yep,” Derpy said softly as sleep was now beginning to take the mare.

“Okay good. Well goodnight Derpy. I will see you in the morning.” Luna didn’t want to keep the pegausus up any longer as she was obviously exhausted if she was already falling asleep.

“Goodnight Luna. I had a really good...” Derpy trailed off and fell into the descent of sleep.

Luna stared at her, this being the first time she had seen Derpy asleep. She felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her chest as she watched Derpy snore softly. She looked peaceful and happy. Luna thought she looked...cute.

Goodnight my friend.

Luna turned her head and blew out the candle she had lit earlier, making the room go completely dark with only the light of her moon pouring through her window. The alicorn closed her teal eyes and drifted off to sleep with thoughts of tonight’s transpired events; the headshots, perfection medals, MVP’s, Trixie raging, Vinyl and Lyra’s awkward conversations...

Derpy.

Little did these two mares know that a certain alicorn was watching through the window with a giant grin on her face and with her was a confused unicorn beside her that held a camera, positioning it take pictures.

Let the shenanigans ensue.

Level 4

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 4

Sexy Blackmail

Luna felt the bright rays of light hit her eyelids as Celestia’s sun rose to signal the start of a new day and ending her night. The alicorn grunted and moaned softly, not wanting to wake up but the burning light was not letting her have that.

She didn’t want to get up from her warm, soft bed. She was wrapped in her blanket and laid against her gentle pillow. Who the hell would want to get up from that? Alas, she knew that when her sisters sun had risen, it was time to start the day and become Princess Luna once again. Deal with petitions, aristocrats, politicians...Celestia.

Okay...let’s do this.

Resolving to remove herself from her restful and soothing bed, she finally opened her teal eyes and yawned. Her now bright room came into view along with something else that suddenly got her heart beating faster than CoD’s P90 fire rate.

What she thought was her warm blanket snuggled up against her was not a blanket but a certain grey mare who snored softly. Derpy legs were wrapped around her and she found her own legs doing the same. Luna’s cheeks began to turn a violent red as she now noticed that both their faces were extremely close due to their very close embrace. She could feel the hot air from Derpy’s nostrils hit her face and her eyes involuntarily looked down at her friends lips.

She was finding herself staring at them and knew how close her own were to her friends. It looked enticing, hypnotizing, exciting. A small urge in her stomach began to rise and her mind began to whisper thoughts that were alien to the alicorn.

You like holding her, don’t you?

Her own little voice in her head repeated the question but she couldn’t answer because her answer was not one she herself even believed. The answer that she was enjoying holding her friend like this. She was actually liking being this close to her though she knew full well that this was way beyond being in a pony’s personal space.

“Unngh, no Dinky...mom said those were mine,” Derpy murmured, making the alicorn freeze in fear but the pegasus didn’t wake. Instead, she did something worse.

Derpy began to snuggle her head in Luna’s chest, probably thinking that it was a pillow. Luna bit her bottom lip and her own breathing was becoming erratic. Her blonde mane brushed her muzzle and she couldn’t help but catch a whiff of it . It smelled of blueberry muffins...or maybe banana; she didn’t know but the scent was entrancing.

What the hay is going on with me???

Princess Luna was confused with herself. Derpy has been her best friend for quite some time and never had these weird sensations within her . Her heart beating rapidly, her shortness of breath, and the pleasurable nervousness in her stomach as she looked down at the mare who was buried in her chest that she held so close to her.

Is this what ponies felt when they slept together? Was this normal of her and why did she have this wanting of her friend; this burning desire to just hold her and snuggle the living crap out of this blonde mare? So many questions ran through her head and she didn’t have an answer to none of them.

“Jeez, she’s a deep sleeper. How hard did you bang her last night?”

“Gah!” Luna yelped as she quickly broke her embrace with the sleeping pony and ended up falling over the side of her bed with a loud thud. She looked up and of all ponies that had to startle her, it had to be the one and only Celestia who simply smiled as she laid on the floor.

“Hello Luna.”

“T..Tia??? What...what the..what??”

“Before you ask, I came in through the door cause you never lock it, like every other time, and been here for probably about ten minutes before you woke up.”

Ohcrapohcrapohcrap! She saw me and her...the way we were holding each other...shit!

“And yes, I saw the way you two were all snuggled with each other like you just got done with some major love-making session,” Celestia said, still keeping the same smile of ‘I obviously see no problem with what I done.’

She can read my mind too???

Celestia’s smile now turned to one of evil proportions.

“I wonder what your friend would think of this. I mean, I really can’t blame you for going all googly-eyed over such a mare like her. That mane, her proportionate body, that delicious plot-”

“No!” Luna interjected as she sprung to her hooves and pressed her muzzle against Celestia’s, “You can’t say anything about this! I swear I just woke up like that, it wasn’t intentional Tia!”

“Your so cute when you try to deny things Luna,” Celestia said and gave Luna a small lick on her muzzle, making the alicorn pull away from Celestia face and wipe the saliva off.

“Don’t do that Tia! It’s freakin’ creepy, especially when I’m your sister for pony’s sake!”

“I’m sure your friend will think that about you if I tell how snuggly you were getting with her. Tell me Luna, did you like it? Did you want to ravage her and just buck the living muffins out of her?” Celestia said slyly.

Luna bit her bottom lip as she tried to think of something to say or somehow derail this whole conversation. Of course Celestia was wrong about her wanting to actually do things to her friend but what would Derpy think if she knew? Yes, she did wake up like that but it’s not like she was objecting to it either...and she didn’t know why.

She has no proof...maybe I could just bs this.

Luna put on a mask of confidence and hoped that maybe she could bullshit her way out of this somehow.

“You didn’t see anything Tia.”

Celestia’s smile left immediately and she cocked her brow. A little bubble of actual confidence welled up in Luna as she saw the alicorn’s expression change. Maybe she could pull this off.

“Luna, you can’t bullshit a bullshitter.”

Play the game Luna. She’s just trying to dissuade you.

“What are you talking about? You say you saw me but you can’t prove it. Go ahead and tell her cause if I tell her it’s not true, she’ll believe it.”

Got you...what are you gonna do now huh?

Luna now gave a smile of her own. Even if Celestia did tell Derpy, there was no way in Tartarus Derpy would believe it if she denied it. Derpy knew she didn’t like her like that so for Celestia to even try to say what she was doing would be simply seem far-fetched, though it was so very true.

“That’s where you're wrong my dear little sister,” Celestia smirked. Her horn lit up and a small manilla folder appeared before Luna with a big label on the front that read Sexy Times.

“What the heck?” Luna asked as she levitated the folder before her,” What does your stash of porn have anything to do with this?”

Celestia laughed a bit hearing that.

“That’s not my porn Luna. I keep all my porn in Shining’s and Cadences room since they're usually the stars of it. How about you just open it cause it’s so much better than porn...only by a little bit though so don’t get the wrong idea.”

Oh no...

What could possibly be so much worse than Celestia’s porn if this wasn’t really porn? Maybe it was pictures of Celestia’s rump or maybe picture of her rump! Or maybe it was...

No...please not that!

Celestia’ DeviantArt pictures! That was not something she never ever wanted to see in her immortal life. She rather be banished back to the moon and left there for eternity than to suffer through that but maybe instead of wondering what the hell it was, she figured she might as well open it and find out.

Please don’t let it be the gallery.

She slowly opened the manilla folder with her magic, trying to prepare herself for the worst but nothing could prepare her for this as her mouth suddenly dropped and the mask of confidence that she had put on completely broke. There in the folder was pictures of her and Derpy of last night, sleeping in bed together and holding each other, legs wrapped around each other. She sifted through the pictures and each were taken from new angles and some showed them without their blanket on.

She was in my room last night?!!!

Luna continued sifting through the pictures in bafflement while Celestia stood next to her and looked at the pictures with her.

“Oh! Go to the last one. That one is my favorite!”

Immediately Luna went to the last one and if her mouth wasn’t hitting the floor before, it was now. The last picture was a close-up of her and Derpy but not showing how close they were or holding each other but something so much worse for Luna. It showed Luna and Derpy’s faces and their lips connected with each other.

What??? I didn’t....we didn’t...

“That one kind of took some time to get right. I had to get both your heads just right for that one and I swear you have the heaviest head ever Luna. Picking that thing up and putting it next to hers was like picking up a damn boulder.”

Luna turned to her sister with wide eyes as she suddenly realized something.

“You...you set this up? You set this up?!”

“Well,” Celestia began as she put her hoof to her chin as if she was in some type of deep thought, “You two were already holding each other so I didn’t really set you up, so technically you kind of set yourself up for that one.”

This was the proof and then some. If Derpy saw this she would lose her mind! Celestia had to have this all planned and ready for her. She knew that she would try to bullshit her just so she could come out with this damning evidence.

Why is she doing this?!

There had to be something Celestia wanted from her if she went through all this. She narrowed her eyes and asked the question that she feared the answer for.

“What do you want Tia?” Luna said through her teeth.

Celestia lit up and beamed.

“I’m glad you asked Luna.” Celestia took the folder and damning pictures out her magical grip and made the item disappear. “ You know that Nightmare Night is coming up very soon and this is actually going to be my first Nightmare Night that I won’t be hiding underneath ponies beds. Sooo, I was thinking that you and I could go somewhere fun like a party or something.”

“Are you serious?!! You're blackmailing me for that??” Luna half-yelled, keeping in mind that Derpy was still sleeping but how she was sleeping through all of this was a mystery.

“This isn’t blackmail! This is sexy blackmail Luna! I mean, didn’t you see the way you two were crossing legs! Any pony that saw those would be like ‘Damn that’s hot!’”

“It’s still blackmail! What’s worse is you're blackmailing me so I could go to some party with you??? What pony does that? I was expecting something to the degree of us having a threesome with your student or...” Luna trailed off as she realized what the hell she was saying.

Celestia now beamed even more.

“Woah, now that does sound awesome! Why didn’t I think of that?! Okay scratch that-”
Luna shoved her silver hoof in Celestia’s mouth,quieting the terrible idea.

“No! I’ll go to some party with you, okay!?” Luna said quickly before Celestia could even confirm her own idea, “And stop licking my hoof!”

She pulled her hoof out the alicorn’s maw and wiped it on the floor.

“Fine. I still liked your idea better,” Celestia pouted.

“I’ll go to whatever party you wanna go to as long as you don’t show that folder to Derpy.”

What choice did she have? She rather suffer through whatever crazy party that Celestia had planned to go to then be without her friend.

“Oh Luna, why do you think it’s just going to be me and you?” Celestia laughed, obviously enjoying the position she had Luna in that was non-sexual, “I want you to bring your friend with you when we go.”

“No,”Luna immediately objected, “You're not dragging her into this Tia. I know whatever party that you have your eyes on can’t be good and I doubt she would want to go anyways.”

“I’m not dragging her into this, you are. I’m bringing Twilight with me if that makes it any better.”

In all honesty, that did make a bit better but she still didn’t want to bring Derpy into all this. If she did, Derpy would see the real side of Celestia...or worse...experience the real side of Celestia.

“Well, what if she doesn't want to? Or what if she has work because she does have a job in Ponyville you know,” Luna said, trying to stump her in her little plan.

Celestia brought her face close to hers.

“Then I guess you better work that toned flank of yours and make it happen. Bribe, steal, screw somepony, I don’t care - well if you screw somepony at least give me a call before you do so I can watch - but do whatever it takes to get her to come cause if she’s not, those sexy little pics are going to be seen on the front page of the next issue of Playcolt.”

Luna gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes at Celestia. Her sister did many things to make her feel awkward and put her in some type of embarrassing position but this was straight up evil of her to do, but Luna couldn’t object it. She was all out of options and Celestia was making it very clear the consequences if she didn’t agree.

“Fine Tia. I’ll bring her with me,” Luna said, finally giving in to her sister. “But I swear if you touch her in any way, shape, or form...”

“Oh don’t worry about that Luna.” Celestia pulled her face away and began making her way to the door as her amusing work was done here. “I won’t be the one wanting to put my hooves all over her.”

Luna’s face flared, knowing exactly what she was implying.

Celestia looked over her shoulder and gave a devilish grin.

“Oh, and before she leaves, make sure that you two come to my chambers. I have some costumes for you both to try on for the party.”

“What?!” Luna exclaimed but before she could ask any questions, Celestia left and closed the door behind her, leaving a worried and confused alicorn and a still sleeping mailmare alone in the room.

How things have taken a turn for the worst this morning. First she found herself snuggling Derpy like lovers did and having eerie feelings just by looking at her and then to have her sister catch her;it was definitely not her ideal idea of a good morning.

Luna looked back at Derpy and cursed herself for dragging her into this but what was the problem? All Celestia wanted was to for her and Derpy go to some Nightmare Night party with her and Twilight, where was the harm in that?

The harm was Celestia and she knew that her sister would do everything in her power to embarrass her or do something that would be way over the top. She feared that Derpy would become so uncomfortable and weirded out that she would probably try to avoid her and never want to speak to her again.

But those pictures...that was a guarantee she would lose her friend. At least with the whole party thing she still had a chance of still being friends.

There was only one thing she could whisper to herself to describe her feelings at this point.

“FML.”

“Who said that?!” Derpy yelled as she shot up in her bed and looked around the room and noticed Luna standing in the middle of the room, “Oh hey Luna. Was that you talking?”

Luna sighed and just shook her head and thought one last thing before she began the day.

FML ten times.

Level 5

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 5

The More Serious Part...

Princess Luna and Derpy Hooves walked side by side as they trotted down the marble-floored hallway, making their way to Celestia’s chambers. It had been quite a morning for Luna as her mind was going in too many directions for her to count. One half of her mind was thinking about the mare that walked beside her and how good it felt to hold her earlier, and how good she felt even now with Derpy simply walking next to her, and she had no clue why. The other half was thinking about Celestia and her little blackmail she had on her and what she had planned.

As bad as it sounded to go to a party that Celestia had her eyes set on, Luna tried to look at the bright side to all of this. Celestia could have made her do things that would probably end in her staring at a wall for hours on end from being so traumatized, so being blackmailed to go to a party was pretty tame. Another good thing, and probably the best out of all this, was that she was going to take Derpy with her. True, it’s not like she was given much choice concerning Derpy but even if she had the option, she probably would have still asked her to come so at least she wouldn’t be alone with Celestia and her questionable ways.

Was Luna afraid that Derpy would find out about Celestia’s dirty side?

Hell yeah.

But Derpy came to the castle every week to come spend the night and play games and Luna made it her mission to keep her friend from Celestia’s roaming hooves and she had done a good job thus far. If she was able to save Derpy’s innocence for this long, she was confident that she could keep her safe at some small party.

The two continued walking silently until Derpy decided to break it with an innocent question.

“So how did you sleep last night Luna?” she said with a small smile.

Usually such a simple question would be easy to answer but Luna was finding herself hesitating. She definitely slept well; probably the best sleep she had gotten in a long time, but the image of her them holding each other and snuggling began to plague her mind once again.

“Oh..uh, I slept fine,” she said hastily.

“You sure? You kind of seemed a bit zoned out.”

Derpy was right. Ever since asking her friend to this party, which she gladly accepted without hesitation, Luna has been in her own world. With Celestia’s shenanigans and these weird feelings that she was still trying to figure out, she even had to admit she wasn’t acting normal.

“I’m sorry Derpy, I just have a lot of things on my mind today,” she answered as she turned her gaze to the pony.

Luna’s eyes began to scan the grey mare over. Her blonde mane seemed more blonde than usual and looking into her crossed eyes was bringing back that pleasurable nervousness within the bellows of her stomach. Her eyes then moved, as if they had a mind of their own, and went to Derpy’s flank, checking out her cutie mark of bubbles it was printed on. She had the strong urge to-

Stop it!

Luckily the alicron caught herself and turned her head away for a few seconds, taking a silent deep breath.

That was wrong....that was so wrong! I shouldn’t be...checking her out!

“Like what?” Derpy asked, seemingly oblivious to the eye raping that Luna had almost committed.

Luna turned her gaze back to Derpy to answer her but forced herself to keep her wandering eyes in control.

“Just royal stuff. I don’t really like dealing with all the politicians and all the ponies that complain about things and crap. It gets a bit annoying after a few hours.”

Derpy cocked her brow, suddenly more interested in what she was hearing.

“What would ponies complain about? I mean, you run the kingdom just fine I think.”

“Well I wish more ponies thought the same like you my friend but it’s really not about the way I run the kingdom with Celestia, but about me,” Luna said.

Luna was no fool and this was the reason she hated dealing with her court. Ponies complained about her and some even complained to her sister about her. Why? Some ponies still feared her, afraid that she still had Nightmare Moon in her. They complained that she shouldn’t be running the kingdom alongside her sister, little did they know that Luna was the only one that kept some type of barrier between them and Celestia. Without her, they would either all be contemplating their marriages or checking underneath their beds every night.

“What? What have you done?” Derpy asked.

“They still see me as Nightmare Moon. They’re afraid that I’ll try to take over again and no matter how many times I tell them I’m not her anymore, they don’t believe it,” Luna explained, waving her hoof nonchalantly in the air to give off the impression that it wasn’t a big deal.

Derpy looked away and continued walking but Luna noticed something in her eyes before she looked away. She saw a bit of anger flare in the small pony.

“Well they’re stupid then. If they knew you the way I did, they would see that you're nothing like Nightmare Moon.”

Luna’s eyes widened. Derpy sounded actually a bit pissed off, something that Luna had never heard from her friend. She didn’t even know that Derpy was capable of actually being ticked off like she seemed now. The mailmare was always happy and pretty accepting of many things...except for Trixie but she couldn’t blame her for that.

“Derpy, it’s quite alright-”

“No it’s not.” Derpy stopped walking and looked deep into Luna’s eyes. “I don’t know why ponies are still afraid of you Luna. Your the nicest pony I know and I’m tired of other ponies not seeing it.”

Luna began to feel a slight sadness within her heart as she heard such kind words but she couldn’t blame other ponies for how they felt. She was fearsome as Nightmare Moon and Derpy didn’t know it, but when she was her dark alter ego, she had no thoughts of being friends with any pony; only to rule them and make them pay for not appreciating her night.

“Thank you Derpy but it’s not something you should get upset over,”Luna insisted, “I don’t really care what other ponies think of me anyways.”

“I do. You're my best friend and it hurts to think that ponies still see you that way. I could understand why ponies would make fun of me because of my eyes but you? How could they? You're beautiful and funny and all kinds of other good stuff,” Derpy said with sincerity.

Luna felt the nervousness in her stomach almost explode and her heart pounding in her chest as one thing ran through her mind.

She said I’m beautiful...and funny?

It was almost as if those simple words held some type of joy to them. They made her chest feel warm and brought up a pure, raw, happiness within her like some type of foal who just got their cutie mark.

“You...you really mean that?” Luna asked without thinking.

Derpy came close to her and wrapped her forelegs around Luna’s neck, making the regal blush red hot.

“Of course Luna. You’re my best friend. I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t believe it,” Derpy said as she hugged her.

Luna now found herself wrapping her arm around the mare and bringing her in closer. Her fur felt unbelievably soft and her muffin scent was filling her nostrils once again, making her heart pound even faster.

“I, err, I don’t know what to say Derpy...”she trailed off as a small voice began to speak to her.

What do you mean Luna? All you have to say is thank you. Is that so hard now?

Her own little voice in her head was right. She would usually just say thank you and continue on but it seemed that saying thank you wouldn’t be enough to really show how much she appreciated such words from her friend.

You’re my best friend.

A twinge of pain struck her beating heart as she now thought about that sentence. Hearing the word friend actually kind of hurt and it perplexed the already confused alicorn even more. It hurt like a small needle poking into her chest and just like all her other weird feeling she had been experiencing this morning, she couldn’t explain why.

“I mean...thank you. That means a lot,” Luna finished her sentence.

Derpy broke the embrace with her bright signature smile that Luna knew so well and loved. Maybe a bit more than usual now.

“No problem Luna.”

They both stared at each other with their faces close to each other and Luna was now finding herself staring into Derpy’s beautiful crossed eyes. She felt her head begin to move a bit closer to Derpy’s and her mind going fuzzy with her little voice encouraging something that she found herself agreeing to.

Kiss her.

The thought was taboo but Luna was finding herself being drawn in by Derpy’s presence until her other, rational voice spoke up.

NO! What the hell are you doing?!

Luna quickly came back to her senses and pulled her face away from Derpy’s with a quickness, making Derpy give her a look of ‘What happened?’

“Are you okay Luna? Did I say something wrong?” Derpy asked in a worried tone.

“No...no. I just...we have to get my sister’s room and see about these costumes. You have work soon and I don’t want you to be late on my behalf.”

Luna looked over to her with a sheepish smile and closed her eyes while doing so so she could avoid looking into those adorkable crossed eyes.

“Oh...alright. Yeah, we should probably hurry up and get over there. My boss would be mad again if I’m late,” Derpy said with a half-hearted tone.

So with nothing more to say, they both continued their way to Celestia’s chambers and didn’t say another word until they got there.

...And The Not So Serious Part

“Little sis! Derpy! I’m sooooo glad you made it!” Celestia beamed as she opened her golden doors and let the two in.

“Not like we had much choice, did we Tia?” Luna said quietly as she passed the alicorn.

The doors closed behind them and they took in the scenery. A small fireplace crackled and popped with a small rug beside it littered with scrolls and a book that Luna quickly took notice of.

Pony Sutra.

Damnit Tia.

Luna quickly went over and pushed a few pieces of parchment over the book, covering it’s title. She didn’t want Derpy to see such a thing and risk the reaction she would have to such a text...or worse, actually read it on accident.

“How are you today Princess Celestia?” Derpy asked, being polite to the ruler of Equestria.

“I’m great. How are you? Did you had a good time with little Lulu over here,” Celestia smirked as she pointed her hoof to a disgruntled Luna.

“Oh yeah! We had a real good time playing with each other!” Derpy beamed.

Celestia turned to Luna while she tried to restrain her laughter.

“You hear that Luna? She says you guys were playing with each other. Why didn’t you tell me you two had such fun with each other?” Celestia teased, trying to keep herself from bursting out in laughter.

Luna simply sighed softly and kept a blank face.

“You know what she means Tia. Now where are these costumes you were talking about?”

Luna didn’t want to waste any time playing Celestia’s game and just get this over with. The sooner that she could get her and her friend out of here, the better. With each passing second was a moment more that Celestia would have to try and embarrass her and Derpy being subjected to her sister’s antics.

Celestia stuck out her tongue like a child.

“You’re no fun Luna.”

“I try,” Luna replied with a bit of malice.

“Yeah! I want to see the costumes!” Derpy exclaimed excitedly.

Celestia smiled wide, showing off her pearly whites as she she heard such misplaced enthusiasm.

I don’t.

“Great! Now I assume my sister asked you to go to this party with us during Nightmare Night right?” Celestia said with a dastardly gleam in her eyes.

“Yep and I would love to go!”

“I just knew you would!” Celestia exclaimed, looking back at Luna.

Luna rolled her teal eyes. She knew Celestia was enjoying every minute of this and loving the fact that she was rubbing it in her muzzle, but at least it wasn’t her ass this time being rubbed on it. That was one thing to be grateful for.

Time to change the subject Tia.

“Where’s your student Celestia? Didn’t she spend the night with you?” Luna asked, though she really didn’t care for the answer. She just needed her sister to talk about something else for now.

“Duh! I mean, you and I both know I have ponies spend the night with me all the time.”

Luna face-hoofed herself.

“Woah! You have sleepovers every night? You must have a lot of friends Princess,” Derpy said as she admired Celestia’s bed...only Luna’s stars knew the things that happened in those sheets.

“Oh yes, I have a lot of friends. We have the most fun when we're all together, much better than Luna’s little sleepovers.”

Derpy faced the white alicorn and smiled coyly.

“Well, I don’t know about better. I love my sleepovers with Luna but I’m sure yours are fun too.”

Luna smiled a bit hearing that. Even when Celestia was trying to make her look bad, Derpy still defended her. It was nice to hear that she did think their weekly sleepovers were fun for her.

Celestia chuckled, taking no offense to Derpy’s claim.

“Maybe one of these days I’ll show you how fun my parties are and-”

“Tia! Costumes! Let’s see them!” Luna quickly said, seeing exactly where this conversation was going.

Celestia turned her gaze back to her and stuck her tongue out again.

“Fine. Jeez Luna, can I not get to know your friend a bit more? So rude,” she said with an evil grin.

You don’t need to know her they way you want to.

“Twilight!” Celestia called out, “Are you finished getting that costume on?”

A voice was heard behind a door that must have led to some back room of some sort.

“Just a moment Princess, I’m having some difficulty trying to get the panties on!”

What???

Celestia sighed.

“Give me a minute, I think my student needs help.”

With a bright flash of light, the white alicorn disappeared and both Derpy and Luna stared at the door, waiting to see what kind of costume Twilight was trying on.

“Panties? What are those?” Derpy asked Luna, whose face was now red once again.

“Put your leg through here Twilight,” Celestia voice said behind the door, “Okay now this one- damn, your flank looks nice in this. The stallions are going to love you.”

By my own beard, help me.

“This is kind of tight Princess. Is this supposed to be that tight around my bottom?”

“Of course! That’s the purpose of it my dear student.”

Derpy cocked her head to the side, trying to figure out what was going on. A bright flash of light appeared once again and Celestia stood between the two mare with a satisfied smile.

“You two ready?” she asked

“Yeah! Let’s see,” Derpy answered.

“I...I guess,” Luna said with much reservation.

Great! Behold!” Celestia announced and pointed her hoof to the door, “The sexiest costume ever made!”

As if on cue, Twilight Sparkle timidly opened the door and Luna’s mouth dropped. The lavender mare had had striped socks on each of her legs and wore purple tight panties on her rump. Luna could have sworn that her nose was beginning to bleed from such sexiness.

“Holy crap Twilight! You look awesome!” Derpy said as she trotted over to the mare and touched her socks.

“I know right! It looks sooo good!” Celetia squealed and turned to Luna, “Doesn't she look amazing?”

Luna was at a loss for words. This was no costume! This was just straight up dirty!

“Well? Doesn't she?”

“Tia...please tell me that ...thats not our costumes,” she stuttered.

“Okay, that’s not our costumes.”

“It’s our costumes, isn’t it?”

“Well, which one do you want Luna? You tell me not to tell you they aren’t then you ask me if they are? Which one do you want?” Celestia teased,”But yes, that’s what we’re all going to be wearing. Of course, I have picked ones out especially made for the both of you.”

“Oooooo, I want to try mine on!” Derpy blurted as she heard the alicorn.

Luna looked over to her friend with her mouth even dropping further to the ground.

“Are you serious Derpy?!”

Derpy smiled, as if there was nothing wrong with this attire.

“Heck yeah! They look so cool Luna!”

Celestia smirked at Luna, taking in this victory over her.

“Twilight, how about you help her get her costume on so we can see how she looks in it.”

The studious mare nodded with a smile.

“Could you come with me Derpy?”

The pegasus followed Twilight into the back room to change over and the door closed behind them, leaving the two regals together.

“You have to admit Twilight looked pretty sexy in that. I could imagine how your friend is going to look,” Celestia said giggling.

Luna looked over to her with her mouth still hanging a bit open.

“Tia, why are you trying to ruin my life?”

Celestia busted out in laughter.

“Ruin your life? What are you talking about Luna? You're my sister and I love you in a non-sexual way, why would I try to ruin your life?”

Luna gritted her teeth. She was losing patience and her sanity quickly.

“By all this! The blackmail, these...these...I don’t even know what the heck all that is!” she said, pointing her hoof to the door.

Celestia simply rolled her eyes.

“It’s so you could actually have some real fun Luna. Sexy fun!”

“I don't’ want sexy fun! The only fun I need is in a controller and a T.V.! This is just...this is just you being a perv again!”

Celestia gasped and put her hoof over her mouth, “Luna! How could you call me such a thing?! I’m not a perv! I’m a sexy freak, get it right!”

There’s no way we can be related... I had to be adopted or something.

The back door opened once again and Luna quickly turned her attention to it. The small grey mare came out and as soon as Luna caught a glimpse of what was before her, a fierce fire lit up in the pits of her stomach.

Derpy wore striped socks that were grey and yellow on each of her hooves and grey panties that made Luna’s mind reel with thoughts that I won’t even type up because they are too explicit for a rated teen fiction.

“So how do I look?” the pegasus asked, checking out her own socks.

Ohmygoshohmygosh! She...she’s...she’s sexy!

“By my own mane, I’d hit that!” Celestia exclaimed with wide eyes and her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth.

“What do you think Luna?”

She’s hot! She’s hot! She’s not supposed to look hot! I’m not supposed to be liking this!

“I..I’d hit that too?”

WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!

Derpy squee’d in joy and pranced around, enjoying her questionable attire.

“Okay! Your turn Luna!” Celestia announced proudly.

“No! There’s no way I’m wearing that!” Luna cried in disbelief and embarrassment.

Celestia, Derpy, and Twilight who now came out of the room without her ‘costume’, all stared at her in silence from her outburst.

“Why not? I must say the undergarment is quite comfortable,” Twilight said.

“Yeah!” Derpy agreed, “These panties are so soft! I need to get some of these!”

“C’mon Luna! Try it on! I want to see how you look in it,” Celestia encouraged.

This can’t be happening...there’s no way I’m going to wear that! I have to get out of this...I can’t even look at Derpy without looking at her...her..butt! What the hell is going on with everything!?

But she had an idea. One that could save her from wearing such items. One that would get both her friend and her out of Celestia’s domain.

“Oh my gosh! I almost forgot! The chef is serving his famous banana muffins today!”

“ Banana muffins?!” Derpy cried. She fluttered her wings and quickly threw off the socks and panties and grabbed Luna by her hoof, dragging her out to the door.

“C’mon! We got to get those muffins!”

Luna looked at Celestia as she was dragged out of the room and smiled at her. Celestia looked back and simply grinned, knowing exactly the move she had just played and mouthed two words at her.

Have fun.

The pegasus and alicorn left the room and the sound of Derpy’s voice calling out to Luna to hurry up was all that was heard in the hall.

“That was suddenly weird,” Twilight said as she stood next to her mentor, confused on what just happened.

Celestia softly chuckled. If Luna thought that she was going to pull something like that on her just to get away from trying on her sexy creation, then she had another thing coming.

“Yes, my sister can be very weird at times my dear student but let’s not focus on that. Go put your costume back on and I’ll get the camera.”

Twilight nodded happily and went to do as she was told. Celestia closed the door and the castle was silent once more except for a frantic muffin mare.

A/N. No, I don't have a sock fetish.

Level 6

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 6

Denial

The bright morning sun beamed and the blue sky was clear of any clouds. The birds chirped and the small animals that took refuge in the royal gardens scurried about as the Princess of the Night and her gamer friend stood outside, packing her small saddlebag.

“Are you sure you can carry all those Derpy? I could get you an escort if you need it.”

Derpy Hooves stuffed the last banana muffin into her saddlebag and closed her now bulking green saddlebag.

“No thanks, I got this,” Derpy chimed as she threw the bag over her back.

“Are you sure? That looks so heavy though,” Luna observed as she studied the bulking bag filled with epically awesome baked goods.

She felt bad that her friend wouldn’t accept her help but Derpy was a capable mare...most of the time, but she also felt a bit bad for freaking out earlier because of Celestia’s choice of ‘costumes.’ Was it for the fact that her choice of attire was simply not acceptable for Nightmare Night?

Many would think the answer would be yes and she herself thought that would be the answer but to her surprise and a bit of dismay, this was not so.

It wasn’t the attire but the pony that wore it, her best friend. The tidal wave of mixed feelings when she saw that mare in such enticing clothes; uncertainty, excitement, and maybe a hint of lust washed through in those mere seconds. It was so confusing to her...this whole morning had been confusing to her. Snuggling with Derpy, Celestia being kind of a bitch to her by using ‘sexy blackmail’, and then seeing Derpy in panties (something she never even fathomed of seeing), and all these frustrating feelings.

“I carry mail for a living Luna, I think I can handle a bag full of muffins. I may look small but I’m a strong pony.” The mailmare jokingly flexed her leg muscles in a heroic pose as she tried to prove her point with her eyes crossed, making the alicorn laugh a bit.

“I know, I just hate the thinking about you flying such ways with that.”

“I’ll be fine Luna. Promise.” the grey mare said with a smile. She looked out to the sky and spoke with a somewhat glum tone,” Well, I better get going before I’m late. Speedy Delivery hates it when I’m late.”

Luna nodded and gave a small smile but she really didn’t want her friend to go. Was this another one of her eerie feelings that she had been having ever since this day had began? No, this was actually quite common for the alicorn. She always had so much fun with her friend and loved her company; it was always sad to see her go. It only proved as a reminder that she would have to return to being ‘Princess’ Luna soon.

“Do you think you will get off early enough to get online tonight?” Luna asked with a bit of hope.

Derpy shook her head. “No, not tonight. I’m going to watch Dinky perform in her school play tonight. She got the best part.”

“And what would that be? I don’t hear much about what goes on in Ponyville since I’m usually stuck here.”

“A muffin.”

Luna rolled her eyes playfully.

Of course.

“Alright then,” Luna began, keeping in mind that her friend had more important things than talk to her,” I suppose you better get going before I make you late.”

“Yeah, I guess so,” the grey pony said as she now brought her gaze back to Luna. They both stared at each other quietly. Luna could see in Derpy’s crossed eyes that her friend felt the same way. She didn’t want to leave, just as Luna didn’t want Derpy to leave her, but they were best friends...right? It was normal of friends to feel this way...at least that’s what Luna believed.

“Fly safely okay?” Luna said, trying to break the silence and keeping herself from staring at the blonde pony.

Derpy nodded once more and spread her wings.

“I will Luna. I’ll talk to you later okay?”

“Okay.”

With nothing more to say without being a bit awkward, Derpy gave one last smile and lifted off into the sky and Luna watched as the small pegasus flew away until she disappeared into the horizon, leaving the alicorn alone in the gardens.

You’re already missing her.

Luna heard her own small voice inside her head speak to her, telling her the obvious. Of course she missed her friend, why wouldn’t she? They spent time together, played together...

You slept together.

“Stop it,” Luna said to herself.

Well, you did.

“I know but...”

But what?

She only agreed to sleep with Derpy because she was her friend and it wasn’t like they were lovers of some sort...so why did she feel now like it was? It seemed her thoughts and mind were much louder in her head now that she didn’t have Derpy or her sister distracting her from it.

Did you not hold her close to you this morning? Did you not check her out while you both went to see your sister? Did you not want to kiss-

“Okay!” Luna yelled and stomped her hooves, scaring the birds and some woodland critters, “I did all those things but she’s my friend and that’s it. Nothing more and nothing less, okay little voice that sounds like me??”

Nothing more? Nothing less? I sense denial.

“It’s not denial! It’s the truth! I only like her-”

“Princess Luna?” a voice from behind interrupted.

Luna quickly spun around with wide eyes to meet a pair of light purple ones.

“Cadence?! What..what are you doing here?” Luna asked nervously, realizing that Cadence probably had heard her talking to herself.

“I always come to the gardens in the morning,” Princess Cadence said as a small bag of bird seed appeared before her, “So how are you doing this morning Luna?”

Maybe she didn’t hear me.

“I’m fine,”she said as she tried to regain her bearing,” I was just seeing off my friend that I had over last night was all.” Luna smiled sheepishly.

“You mean the one with the adorable eyes?” The pink alicorn said with a smile as she spread some seed out onto the grass.

They are adorable, don’t you think Luna?

Luna ignored her pestering voice in her head and answered without hesitation, “Her name is Derpy, yes.”

“Derpy huh? That’s a cute name. So that’s the mare that you’re interested in?”

“What?!” Luna blurted, “No! I mean, no.”

Cadence threw more seed out onto the grass, still holding that small gentle smile across her face.

“So what were you talking about with yourself earlier then?”

Crap...she did hear me.

The alicorn thought quickly of some type of plausible excuse that could explain her odd behavior. She could just say nothing and simply walk away and move along her day but that would be rude, and just because Cadence and her really didn’t spend much time together didn’t give her the right to be disrespectful in any way.

“I..uhhhh...talk to myself sometimes,” Luna lied as she tried to run with it, “I sometimes talk to myself to help clear my brain and stuff. A night of video games and drinks can really mess up your head.” Luna tapped her head with her hoof to reinforce her white lie but it was too easy to see through it.

Cadence chuckled, “Luna, it’s quite obvious you have feelings for your friend.”

Feelings?

Luna cocked her head a bit. Of course she had feelings for Derpy. She was her best friend after all.

“Derpy is my best friend and I share feelings for her as her friend if that’s what you mean.”

Cadence shook her head and laughed a bit more.

“Princess Luna, I mean that you may be falling in love in with her,” she stated bluntly.

Luna’s whole body went ice cold but also fiery hot at the same time as she heard the sacred four letter word ‘love’. Luna never have thought that she could be falling in love with the mailmare...she couldn’t be, there was no way.

In love?! I’m not in love with my own friend!

“In love? Cadence, I understand that love is your domain but I think you’re getting this all wrong,” Luna said, trying to be as kind as possible, “Derpy is my best friend and that’s it. We see each other as just that and nothing more. We just spend a lot of time together is all.”

“If you say so Luna,” Cadence said teasingly, like as if she knew something that Luna didn’t.

“I’m serious Cadence. We’re just friends and I’m definitely not falling in love with my own friend,” Luna said, waving her hoof in the air.

“Alright Luna, I believe you. I guess I was wrong,” Cadence said with a nonchalant tone.

Okay, time to change subject.

“So where is your husband? Is he not off duty today?” Luna asked.

Sunday was the day that Celestia’s higher ranking guards took the day off, such as her captain and with such a high position came a sacrifice that Cadence seemed to be willing to accept. Luna knew that the couple didn’t get to see much of each other when Shining Armor was busy but they seemed to be still very happy, especially with the time they had to themselves.

“Yeah, he’s off. Princess Celestia called him into her chambers earlier for some type of emergency. You know him,” she threw more seed as more birds gathered, “Duty above all else but I love him for it. I like a stallion that truly loves and believes in what he does,” Cadence said as she poured the last of the bird seed to the group of small birds that now circled her front hooves.

Oh....emergency...right.

Princess Luna had an idea of what Celestia would need Shining Armor for. He was a stallion which meant that he had the certain equipment to maybe please his ruler but Luna knew he was loyal to Cadence, but when it came to her sister, loyalty didn’t mean shit. When Celestia wanted something, Celestia got it...no matter what.

“Right, well, I better get going and prepare for my court later.”

Cadence nodded.

“Of course Luna, but can I ask you one thing before you go?”

Luna cocked her brow, wondering what Cadence would need of her.

“Yeah, sure.”

“How do you know you’re not in love with your friend?” she asked with a small giggle.

Yeah, how do you know Luna?

How did she know? Such a simple question that she should have been able to answer so easily was coming off as difficult. Luna never experienced what love was because she never really fancied other ponies in her long life. She had never had any type of interest to pursue a romantic relationship.

“I... I have to go Cadence. I really must prepare for later,” Luna replied with uncertainty and confusion. She couldn’t answer her question and instead was now trying to deflect it.

“Alright Luna. Have a good day and tell your friend the next time you see her that I said hi,” Cadence replied happily, seeming not to take any offense to Luna’s deflection.

Luna simply nodded and turned to take her leave but that question that Cadence now asked was burned into her psyche. That whole thing about her being in love with Derpy rattled her mind and it made her ask one simple question to herself.

Am I in love?

Was these weird feelings she had been experiencing all a result of love? Luna didn’t know and was split in too many different ways to concentrate on one thing at a time, but she did know one thing.

She needed somepony to talk to about it.

One that she could trust and would maybe explain all this to her, but why not Cadence? She knew about love, more than anypony knew about it, but Luna felt that this was not something to do with love, or maybe she just didn’t want to believe it was. Luna felt it was just her body acting up or some type of thing that only alicorns went through.

She needed a pony that had insight to the workings and feelings of ponies and there was one pony that knew of such things.

One pony that could help her.

****

“Bahahaha! You totally want to screw the living crap out of her!”

“Wha-?!! No! I never said that!” Luna yelled through her mic as her cheeks flustered violently, “All I said was that we slept together and ever since this morning, I been having thoughts that I don’t usually have.”

This was a bad idea...

Luna had thought that maybe Vinyl would be able to help her sort out these weird feelings of hers and give her some type of reasonable explanation for them but it seemed the only thing the DJ got out of her entire description of her morning was that she just wanted to screw Derpy.

“I’m sorry princess,” Vinyl said as her laughter died down in her mic, “It’s just that I never thought that you would dig Derpy, ya know?”

“ Cadence thinks the same thing! I don’t ‘dig’ her, we’re just friends Vinyl. I believe I’m just catching something that only alicorns get or something of the sort.”

Denial, Luna’s pestering voice chimed.

Shut up!

“Luna, you’re totally into her. You said that you held her all mushy type and even thought she was hot when she was wearing, “Vinyl began to snicker and even snort a bit, “ panties. You can’t tell me that you’re not wanting that.”

Luna sighed.

“She’s my friend. My gamer buddy. There’s no way I’m in love with her Vinyl. I can’t be,” Luna said as she adjusted her mic on her head.

“Why not?” Vinyl asked.

“I never been in love before, why start now?”

“Luna, love is not something that you think about and decide on. It’s a feeling. Like, do you get nervous around Derpy? Get like little fluttering things in your stomach and all that shit?”

The alicorn recalled her earlier morning. She did have something that seemed to fly around in her stomach when she was holding Derpy along with a hot fire that seemed to bellow in her. She remembered how fast her heart was beating and how shallow her breathing became.

“Well... yes... I did,” Luna admitted.

“That means you want to bang her!”

“Vinyl!”

The DJ began to laugh hysterically into her mic once again.

“I can totally see it! You and her in your bed just going at it!”

“Vinyl! It’s nothing like that!” Luna pleaded, now becoming a bit frustrated.

“Okay, okay, sorry,” Vinyl said again with a bit of static to her mic as she seemed to gasp for air from laughing so hard, “ But seriously, I’m not really good with all this mushy stuff. When I like somepony, I just go for the gusto and get to the banging part.”

TMI...

“Well I’m certainly not going to be having sex with Derpy, so that’s out of the question. Do you know somepony that could help me then if you can’t?” Luna pleaded. Desperation was beginning to take hold of her and she now only wanted to know what these feelings meant and how to be rid of them.

There was silence over Luna’s mic for a few moments before the DJ spoke again.

“You know what? I might know a pony that could help you out,” Vinyl answered.

“And who would that be?” Luna asked, curious about this certain pony.

“You know my friend that was with us last night? His gamertag was PerrohambreV2.”

The alicorn recalled the name quite clearly. It was the stallion that didn’t speak Equestrian and Derpy was having a hard time understanding what he was saying when she spoke to him.

“He can help explain all this?”

“I’m pretty sure. He talks about love and some other philosophical horse crap sometimes that I barely pay attention to, so I’m sure he can help you,” Vinyl replied with confidence.

Luna’s horn lit up and summoned a piece of parchment and quill and jotted down the name real quick. She would have to see if she could talk to this stallion sometime later to see if he could help her. She hated not knowing something, especially when it was about herself and she needed answers. More importantly, she needed a remedy to somehow make her stop looking at Derpy in such a way that doesn't involve her eyes traveling to the mailmare’s flank.

“Soooo, how about you tell me more about this blackmail that Princess Celestia has on you? I was kind of tripping balls when you said that she blackmailed you. Never thought she was even capable of doing something like that ya know?”

Luna hadn’t only divulged her weird feelings to her DJ friend earlier over Live, which she was now regretting, but also Celestia’s little blackmail that she had on her.

“You don’t have testicles Vinyl...”Luna stated as if she had to make it clear that Vinyl was a mare.

“No shit. It’s a figure of speech.”

“And my sister does a lot of things that many ponies don’t know about, so for her to blackmail me is not something out of character for her. It’s just I hate that she took pictures of me and Derpy in bed together and even setting one of the pictures up!”

““Set one up? What you mean?” Vinyl asked.

Luna looked down at her controller and thought about that one picture that had her and Derpy looking like they were kissing each other.

“Celestia made it look like we were kissing,” Luna stated nervously.

“Damn! Your sister knows how to get some sexy blackmail!”

“You're supposed to be helping me Vinyl, not praising my sister for her shenanigans,” Luna deadpanned, quickly losing her patience.

“Okay, I was just saying was all. So you have to go to this party with her and you have to bring Derpy with you to it? So what? Sounds like a good time to me. Sounds like she just want to have some sister bonding time or whatever.”

Luna shook her head. If only Celestia wanted to just have some sisterly bonding but she knew her sister’s intentions were far from that.

“I wish it was so but I know she only wants me to come and bring Derpy along so she can somehow embarrass me or make me feel uncomfortable. I’m afraid that Derpy will never want to talk to me again because of my sister’s actions if I go to this party.”

Luna believed she wasn’t in love with her friend but just because she wasn’t didn’t mean that she didn’t want Derpy’s company. She loved having Derpy around and enjoyed talking to her about random things and Celestia was going to ruin all that for her; she just knew it in her gut.

“So what do you plan to do if you really think she’s going to buck things up?”

“I have no clue,” Luna answered. She couldn’t form any type of idea to somehow stop Celestia’s little game. Even if she tried, her sister seemed to be always one step ahead of her, as if she knew what Luna was planning and thinking.

“Why don’t you just get rid of the pictures?”Vinyl suggested

Now there was an idea. A seemingly simple idea.

“Get rid of them? Like steal them?”

“Yep, Vinyl chimed, “Just get your hooves on those bitches and burn them. Kill it with fire so no pony will ever know about them."

Luna tapped her hoof on her chin and thought about this idea. She could get the pictures back but she had no idea where Celestia kept them. Only her stars knew where Celestia would keep such damning pictures and when it came to her sister, anywhere was a good place to hide them. Even if meant in certain body cavities if need be.

“I don’t know where she keeps them though. I wouldn’t know where to begin. She wouldn’t just leave something like that out in the open.”

“Start with her room, duh! Just sneak in there at night and snoop around like a ninja. It should be easy for you since the night is like your thing. Just turn into some mist or something like you did as Nightmare Moon-”

“I’m not Nightmare Moon,” Luna quickly interrupted with a bit of malice in her voice.

“Sorry. Anyways, I’m trying to say is that you should do some sneaking around and find where she keeps them and even get some dirt on her while you're at it, so even if you don’t find the pictures, you still got something to hang over her head.”

Now Luna was really liking this idea. The thought of pulling up dirt on Celestia was enticing and she would love to see her sister’s face if she did. For once, she would be able to put Celestia off guard instead of her.

“You think that would make her put an end to this game of hers?” Luna asked.

“I would think so. If not, you’re just royally bucked and your sister is the ultimate troll.”

But I have to stop her.

It was a crazy, simple idea but it had to be done. Luna had to get those pictures back and destroy them or at least get some payback. If Celestia wanted to play this game with her, then she will play and make sure that for once, she would win.

“I’m going to get those pictures back and I’m going to show Tia once and for all that I shouldn’t be messed with,” Luna declared as she resolved to her decision.

“Yeah! Get some payback!” Vinyl encouraged.

And so it was decided within Luna. She would sneak into her sister’s room and find that folder that held those sexy pictures and destroy them and in the process, find anything that would make her sister beg for her not to show to the public eye.

“So when are you going to do it huh?” Vinyl asked with almost an excitement to her voice.

Luna knew the perfect time and smiled devilishly, rubbing her hooves together.

“Tonight.”

Operation: Celestia

Late that night...

“Okay, I know I gave you the idea to sneak in Princess Celestia’s room but why do I have to be part of this?“

“Because,” Luna said as she put on what looked like a black wetsuit, “I need somepony that can keep a lookout while I search Tia’s room.”

Vinyl Scratch reluctantly put on what looked like some type of utility belt that Luna had given her and let out a long drawn out sigh.

“Why can’t you just have Derpy do that?! You didn’t have to go and send guards after me like I was being arrested or something to come get me!”

Luna made sure her suit was nice and snug on her body and turned to the white DJ who was still having a bit of trouble putting her belt on.

“ The only reason I sent my guards after you because I knew you wouldn’t agree to it if I asked-”

“Yeah! You’re probably right!” Vinyl interrupted. Luna simply rolled her eyes and continued.

“And I would have Derpy help me but considering that the pictures are of me and her, it wouldn’t be smart of me to have her help me now would it? Now stop complaining and get your belt on. It’s almost midnight and we have only a small window of opportunity to get in my sister’s room without being caught.”

Vinyl huffed and obeyed her princess. The white mare clicked her belt around her waist and pulled up the sleek black hood over her electric blue mane.

“What’s with all this stuff anyways? The belt, the suit, the paintball gun? Don’t you think this is a bit overkill Luna?”

Luna narrowed her eyes and looked deep into her friend’s red ones(I know they're not red, just deal with it) and spoke with a low, almost grave tone.

“Overkill? Vinyl, what we're about to do is almost unheard of. We may lose our very sanity and virginity’s-”

“Uh, you know I’m not a virgin right?” Vinyl deadpanned.

“Vinyl! Just let me finish! I’m trying to be dramatic!” Luna cleared her throat and continued with her forced drama,”We may lose our very sanity and virginity’s if we fail this mission and I can’t stress enough to you how important this is that we do not get caught by her. Do you understand?”

Vinyl just cocked her head with a face of ‘What the buck are you talking about?’

“Look Luna, I think your going a bit-”

“Do you understand?!” Luna said a bit louder as she pressed her muzzle against Vinyls.

“Okay! Okay! I get it! But what about her guards? Can’t you just tell them to go away or something??” Vinyl asked as she tried backing her own muzzle away from Luna’s.

Luna knew she could. She was one of Equestria’s rulers after all but if she dismissed her sister’s guards, no doubt Celestia would notice and begin to wonder why she did.

The alicorn backed away but kept her intense gaze on the DJ as if she was staring into her very soul. Vinyl Scratch couldn’t comprehend how serious this was to Luna, but Luna knew full well how damn serious this was.

It was just that serious.

“I could but her guards would tip her off and she’ll ask why. We have to get in there without any of them noticing.”

Was this a bit overkill?

Perhaps, but in Luna’s mind this was called preparation. They weren’t just going to infiltrate some random pony’s room to look for pictures and maybe dig some dirt on. No, this was her sister that she was dealing with and she had to be prepared for anything, and this was why she had waited until midnight to commit this deed.

Princess Luna knew her sister’s schedule like the back of her hoof; she had to to avoid Celestia and her sexy antics. So with that knowledge, Luna knew that every Sunday at midnight, Celestia would be down in the theater room watching some type of explicit flick with some unlucky stallion or mare that she had probably picked up from her court earlier today. The alicorn also knew that as soon as midnight hit, her and Vinyl would only have a thirty minute window to do what they had to do before Celestia brought her reluctant guest to her chambers.

“So what happens if she does catch us huh?” Vinyl now asked, still a bit freaked out of how seriously Luna was taking this.

Luna backed away from Vinyl and stared off into space as she thought about the numerous things that her sister could do to them if she did catch them. So many terrible and explicit things that Celestia could put them through that would make even the most strong-minded ponies break.

“Pray that we don’t get caught Vinyl,” Luna said with a dark voice as she squinted her eyes more, “Pray to the stars that our bums will still be whole and untouched by the time this is over.”

Beep!Beep!Beep!

Both mares turned their heads to the small alarm clock that now buzzed and beeped on one of the shelves of Luna’s Tower of Power.

11:55 P.M.

“Well, if we're going to do this then let’s get this done. I got Perro coming over later tonight for a jam session and I kind of have to be home if that’s going to happen,” Vinyl said as she grabbed her paintball gun and hooked it across her back, “But there’s one thing that I want to say before we do this because you’re making this sound like a life or death thing.”

Luna pulled her black hood up and followed suit, taking her paintball gun and throwing it over her shoulder.

“And what would that be?” Luna asked as she stared at the clock, their mission about ready to commence.

Vinyl began to make her way to Luna’s chamber door and looked back at her with a blank face that held a hidden dismay in it.

“You’re bucking crazy...”

Luna rolled her teal eyes once again as she continued staring at the clock that now read 11:57 P.M.

Thanks Vinyl...

But then the DJ’s face turned into a wide smile.

“And I’m liking it.”

Luna turned to her, now a bit surprised by that piece but she couldn’t help but let a small smile escape her.

11:59 P.M.

Vinyl Scratch locked and loaded her paintball gun.

“You ready to do this?”

Luna looked back at the clock and locked and loaded her paintball gun. She could feel anxiety well up in her chest but it was mixed with also a devious excitement. Never before had she planned something like this against her sister. She had never thought of doing such things but now that she was actually going through with this, she felt almost powerful. The possibility of finally beating Tia at her own game was almost exhilarating.

12:00 A.M.

It was time. With nothing left to do and only the veil of darkness to now protect them, Luna began to walk to her door where Vinyl waited and said what possibly could be her final words.

“Commence Operation: Celestia.”

***

The hallway was dark and only the light of Luna’s crescent moon poured in through the grand windows that went down the hallway. Luna and Vinyl both had their backs against the marble wall and quietly scooted across it, careful not to make a sound and alert any of Celestia’s guards that patrolled it.

“Luna,” Vinyl whispered, “Where the hay is your sister’s room? We been scooting across this same wall for the past five minutes now.”

“Just around this corner,” Luna replied quietly and continued onwards until they came to a corner.

“Watch my back,” Luna whispered.

“I got ya,” Vinyl whispered and readied her paintball gun. Luna peeked over to the corner and saw four stallions decorated in golden armor, talking among themselves.

“What do you see?” Vinyl said in her hushed tone as she played with her gun a little bit.

“I’m seeing four guards, all standing in front of her door but they’re just talking.”

“Well let’s take them out real quick and get the goods.”

Luna looked back at Vinyl.

“We can’t use the guns on them Vinyl. If we do, Celestia will find out and will have our goods. We only use these in case we’re caught.”

Vinyl sighed, obviously displeased that she wouldn’t be able to use her lovely tool.

“Then how do we get them away from the door?”

Luna smiled devilishly.

“I have an idea. Just stay here and make sure no guards come up behind us.”

Vinyl simply nodded and kept her paintball gun at the ready in case any did. Luna peaked back over to the corner and saw the same stallions still talking, one of them even laughing a bit. She had to get closer to them if she was going to pull off her little plan.

Luna took a deep breath and combat rolled to the opposite side wall and quickly pressed her back against it and peeked back over to see if the guards noticed her. They were all still talking, seemingly oblivious that an alicorn and one of her gamer friends were stalking them.

Okay...let’s get these guys to chill out a bit.

Luna put her hoof over her belt and pressed the small button. A little compartment opened and two small blue balls (No sexual joke intended) popped out of it and into her hoof. Both balls had a metallic shine to them and a small button on the side of them. She peeked back over the corner and as before, the four stallions were still talking, now laughing among themselves.

Good...good...keep laughing you guys because soon you’ll be sleeping like foals.

“Vinyl,” Luna whispered across to her.

Vinyl Scratch quickly turned around and lowered her non-fatal but pretty damn painful weapon.

“Yeah? What’s up?”

Luna rolled one of the metallic balls to Vinyl across the marble floor and the white mare carefully picked it up and studied it.

“What the hay is this?” she whispered across to Luna.

“It’s a sleeping bomb. You see the little button on the side of it?”

Vinyl turned the ball in her hooves until she found a small button on it. She nodded, confirming she had it in her sight.

“We’re going to roll these out to that small group of guards in front of us and put these guys out. They’ll fall asleep and then we’ll drag them into Tia’s room but we have to be quick. It only lasts for a good fifteen minutes,” Luna said hastily, trying to still keep her eyes on the group of stallions.

“Where the hay you get this shit Luna?”

“Being a princess has it’s perks.”

“Hey!” Both mares went dead silent,” Did you guys hear something?” one of the stallions said, making both mares freeze in place.

“Calm down Saber, you’re just hearing shit again. No pony comes out in the hall this late, especially on Sunday. Chill out,” another stallion said.

“No guys, I thought I heard something coming from over there. Like some ponies were whispering or something.”

Luna didn’t dare look over the corner to see if the group was making their way over to them. She simply held her small bomb in her hoof and her paintball gun on the other. She was prepared to go Rambo on them if she needed to.

“I think Saber is just afraid of the dark.” The other stallions broke out in small laughter hearing such a simple joke.

“I’m not afraid of the dark! I’m afraid of her popping out of the dark somewhere and licking my flank again!”

Both Luna and Vinyl looked at each other from across the hallway with confusion, wondering what the hay this stallion was talking about.

“Dear Celestia, you’re still on that Saber? I’m sure Princess Celestia doesn't go around licking her guards flanks. That’s a bit pervy and in case you haven't met her, she’s pretty far from that.”

“I’ll tell you one thing guys,” another guard began, “I would do more than lick her flank.”

The small group began to laugh again.

“Screw you guys. Just wait until she has you trapped in bindings in her bed and we will see who’s laughing then.”

My gosh Tia...what the hell have you been doing?

“Okay, how about this Saber? We will all go over and have a look see alright? Will that make you feel better?” a stallion chuckled.

“Fine! Just...just I want to make sure it’s not her stalking me or something again.”

Vinyl and Luna kept their backs pinned to the wall, sweat now running down both of their foreheads and heard the sound of hoof steps coming towards them. Luna knew that this was now a do or die moment and it was time to do. She looked over to Vinyl and Vinyl looked over to her. They both nodded their heads and knew what they had to do.

The sound of hoof steps came even closer and without anymore hesitation, Luna shouted.

“Do it! Let that bitch go!”

In unison, both mares pressed the small button and rolled the metallic balls across the floor to the oncoming group of guards.

“What the hay?!” several of them shouted but it was too late. Both bombs exploded into a plume of purple smoke, engulfing the small group of guards who now coughed and hacked.

Luna and Vinyl watched as one by one, each guard fell to the floor with a hard thud and fell asleep like a small foal. The two mares waited until the smoke began to dissipate.

“Holy crap Luna, that was freakin’ awesome,” Vinyl praised as she stared at the group of sleeping stallions.

Luna didn’t have time to admire the scene. They were running against time and she needed to move fast.

“C’mon Vinyl,” the alicorn said as she quickly made her way to the group of stallions, “Open the door for me so I can get these guys in there.”

Vinyl Scratch obeyed and carefully opened Celestia’s door and gave entrance to the dimly lighted, empty chamber. Luna lifted all four stallions from the ground with her magic, inhaling and exhaling as she concentrated on the four bodies.

She slowly walked into the room with the four guards levitating in the air, careful not to bonk their heads on the walls or anything. They may have knocked them out but she didn’t want to hurt them...that would be just awful of her. The DJ closed the door quietly behind them and Luna gently laid the four stallions on her sisters bed. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her forearm from such concentration but she didn’t lose focus of the mission.

Both mares had now finally made it into Celestia’s chambers. The only source of light in this humble den of sin was the gentle flame from the fireplace. The room smelled of something floral and Luna noticed a thing of incense burning on one Tia’s nightstands.

She already prepared for tonight. We have to hurry.

“Wooooah, Celestia got some real shit here. Wish I had a room like this,” Vinyl admired in awe.

“We don’t have time to check out my sister’s room Vinyl. We have to find that folder and whatever dirt we can get on my sister,” Luna said flatly.

Vinyl took off her dark hood and put her paintball gun on her back.

“Well what does the folder look like?” Vinyl asked.

Luna went over to Celestia’s desk that was placed in the back of her room, covered in quills and parchment with several bottles of ink. She thought it was probably the best pace to start if anywhere.

“It’s a manilla folder. You know, like cream colored? And it has a title on it with bold letters saying ‘Sexy Times.’”

Vinyl began to chuckle.

“Sexy times? Really?”

Luna turned with almost a look of annoyance. She was in no mood for games right now.

“Vinyl please. We don’t have much time. Just find it okay? Look near her dressers and stuff while I look over here.”

“Okay, okay, jeez. Somepony’s getting her mane in a bunch,” Vinyl mumbled as she began to search.

Luna simply ignored Vinyl's last comment and began shuffling through the parchment. Her eyes scanned the pile of old letters, requests, and some that even looked like notifications of magazine subscriptions but nothing that really stood out or a manilla folder.

C’mon Tia...there has to be something that I can pin on you. You’re good but not that good.

Her horn lit up and summoned her phone to check the time and see how they were doing.

12:18 A.M.

We still got a bit of time...

Luna opened the drawers of the desk and began to rummage through them. One drawer was filled with magazines with covers of mares and stallions in questionable positions along with some bottles of lube that she didn’t even want to know what they were for. She moved on to the second drawer and found nothing but bottles of ink and new quills. There was nothing that would have anything incriminating against her sister.

“Have you found anything yet Vinyl?” Luna asked as she continued searching the desk, hoping that Vinyl was having better luck.

“Well...” Vinyl paused as she began to snicker, causing Luna to turn around in curiosity, “I certainly found something.” The DJ pointed toward Celestia’s wardrobe dresser with her hoof, bringing Luna’s gaze towards it and her mouth dropped and her cheeks lit up a nice bright red.

Sweet mother of...

Usually a wardrobe was filled with clothes right? Apparently her sister had it for a different purpose. In the wardrobe were about ten different shelves that held a plethora of ‘toys’ in it. They were different shapes, sizes, colors. Some had labels on them reading ‘Griffon’ or ‘Changeling’ on them while others had recognizable names like ‘The Big Mac’ and ‘Spike’s Pride.’

“Your sister’s a straight freak!” Vinyl laughed as she took one and jiggled it around in her hoof.

“Vinyl! Put that back! Who knows where that’s been!” Luna said as she made a gagging noise.

“Oh I know where it’s been,” Vinyl said with a sly smirk as she put one of the toys back.

“Did you find anything else but that?”

“Well, I found some banana peels and a whole bunch of incense sticks but no folder. Oh, and there was some book but it didn’t look important so I kinda just threw that on the floor.”

Luna raised her brow.

“A book? What book?”

Vinyl’s horn lit up with magic and a small book with a leather binding and brown cover floated in front of her. Luna had never seen this book before in her sister’s library nor did it even look like one even from the Canterlot library. The cover seemed old and had gold carvings on it but yet held no title on it.

“I never seen this before. Have you looked in it?” she asked her DJ friend as she studied it.

“Nah, I don’t read books all that much. The thing didn’t even have a wicked title so I didn’t look inside it.”

Never judge a book by it’s cover Vinyl.

Luna opened the book to a random page and began to read it’s contents, wondering what this book was about and why Celestia had it in her possession. And so she began:

Entry 24
Celestia

I miss him.

Everytime I see him in stone out there in the garden it makes me want to yell sometimes. I tried speaking to him today though I know he won’t answer back. I told him that he bucked up by going all crazy with his chaos and stuff and that he could have had me instead but noooooo, Discord had to have his precious chaos. What about my precious ass? What pony could deny such an amazing plot like mine??? I know he’s not a pony and but still???? Either way, at least I learned that when he’s in stone he can’t deny me. Ohhhh the things I did to his statue...Luna probably would have passed out if she saw how hard I was grinding him.

Speaking of Luna, I been noticing that she’s really growing up. I mean like reaaaalllly growing up. Not saying her ass will be as good looking as mine but it has potential.

Anyways, let me tell you what I did to my sweet Discord-

Luna stopped there, not wanting to read what the rest had in store. As bad as this was, it was also so very good. Princess Luna had found a diary, a journal of some sort that Celestia seemed to write in. If anything had any embarrassing story to tell, it would be this. She flipped to another random page and began to read once again, wondering what secrets this book held.

Entry 67
Celestia

I think that will be the last time some stallion calls my ass fat! I rutted that pony so damn hard that he couldn’t even see straight. ;)

But on a serious note, I had Twilight come over and stay the night with me again. Yeah, I know I said I wouldn’t this week but I couldn’t resist! She’s such a beautiful mare...that plot...that flank...the way her she swishes her hips! I have had many mare’s in my time and all them had their own sexy thing going on but there’s something about Twilight that just makes me all hot and bothered down in the nether.

But I also noticed something different. Whenever I have her over and she’s sleeping beside me, I can’t help but just admire her. I have this urge to just touch her and rut the living flippin rainbows out of her but I can’t. Something inside me holds me back from doing that...and that’s not normal at all for me. I see more than just a mare that I want to buck the living brains out of but a mare that I actually think about being with...

Holy hay.....

Am I in love?

Luna eyes were wide and her very mind couldn't comprehend what she was reading. Her sister, the one she had believed for so long that was never capable of actually wanting to be with somepony, thought that she may be in love...with her student???

This...this is perfect!

“Anything good in there?” Vinyl asked.

It was more than good. This was pure gold for Luna. Even if they didn’t find the folder with all those pictures now, it wouldn’t matter. She had written proof from Celestia herself that she actually may be in love with her own student! Luna could only fathom what other secrets this wonderful book held that she could use against her but that would have to wait. They were still on a time schedule here.

“I think we have all we need Vinyl. Let’s hurry up and clean up before Tia gets back and get the hay on out of here,” Luna said with a satisfied smile. She was finally going to get some payback.

The two mares quickly began to clean up and put everything back in their respective places and put the room back the way it was. Luna summoned her phone once again and checked it, wondering how much time they had left before they had to make their escape.

12:24 A.M.

Perfect. We’re ahead of schedule.

“We’re making good time Vinyl. Let’s just get these guards out of here and--Vinyl?”

[Activating Music Sequence:Chaos Theosis]

Luna saw that Vinyl was holding her head and her eyes were drooping as she stood next to the now closed wardrobe that held the collection of toys. The dark alicorn went over to her, wondering what was wrong with her.

“Vinyl? Are you alright?”

Vinyl shook her head and mumbled, “I feel...sleepy...really tired...”

Tired?

“Are you becoming ill? If you are, I can get you to a doctor and see what’s going...going...woah.”

Luna felt her head become fuzzy and warm and found herself having trouble finishing her sentence.

“I...I feel dizzy,” Luna said quietly to herself as she watched Vinyl slump to the ground. She felt her heart began to race inside her chest and a panic beginning to rise, not knowing what was happening to them.

“Vinyl...Vinyl...you have to get up,” Luna muttered as she now put her hoof to her head and felt the world around her spinning.

“Nah...sleep...I need to sleep.”

What’s going...going on?

“Well, well, well. It seems my dear sister and my favorite DJ have come to my chambers looking for some dirt on me,” a voice said from behind Luna, making the mare’s blood turn ice cold.

She turned around and saw Celestia leaning against the door with a wide smile on her face.

“T..Tia...” Luna tried to say but it was becoming more and more difficult, “What...what going on?”

Celestia shut her chamber door behind her and gave a sinister and sultry glare, like some type of ravenous animal about to pounce on her prey.

“I don’t know Lulu. You tell me? You're the one snooping in my room. Did you want to borrow one of my toys or something?”

The room around her began to swirl and even the powerful alicorn of the night now slumped against the wall and plopped down on her rump. She looked over to Vinyl who was now knocked out and snoring on the floor.

She did something to us....she knew we were coming.

But what?

Luna looked around the room and suddenly realized what was causing this weird feeling as her eyes locked on the culprit.

“The...incense...you...something in it...make us...sleep,” Luna muttered, now slowly drifting off.

Celestia walked over to the now slumped alicorn and brought her face close to Luna’s with an almost disturbing grin. Luna could see in Celestia’s eyes a raging lust in them and in that moment, she knew what was coming...her sister’s sexy antics were finally going to catch her.

“I don’t even know what’s in that stuff little sister. Twilight’s the one who made that for me to help me sleep at night.”

The world was turning black and Luna’s head became heavy.

“What...what are you...going to do...Tia?”

Celestia smiled from cheek to cheek and whispered into Luna’s ear.

“I’m finally going to get what I want my dear little sister...”

Luna looked one last time into her sister’s eyes and knew one thing. Celestia was going to have her way with her and with Vinyl. For so long she had dodged her sister and avoided a situation like this but it seemed that it finally was happening. Princess Luna succumbed to the grasp of sleep and closed her eyes and heard one last thing before her mind went off to her own dreams.

“I finally have you.”

Level 8

Challenge Accepted

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The alicorn heard the annoying buzzing of her alarm and turned her head, shoving her muzzle into a pillow.

“Just five more minutes,” she moaned. Luna felt extremely weak and lethargic. She only felt like she had just went to sleep and now her cursed alarm wanted to wake her.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Luna threw the blanket over head and turned more in her bed, trying to somehow mentally block out the sound. She could just get up and turn off this pestering alarm herself and go back to bed but that meant actually getting out of her bed’s warm embrace. She was too relaxed, too sleepy, too tired to do so.

Damn alarm...I just want to stay in bed.

Luna’s eyelids were heavy and even if she tried to open them, her body was too weak for even that simple task.

Stay in bed...

The sentence repeated in her mind like a broken record and Luna’s lethargic and slow mind was starting to notice something weird about this simple thought.

...in bed...wait...how the hay did I get to bed??

The beeping alarm continued but Luna couldn’t hear it. Her mind now raced with how and what got her here to her bed. Like some type of slideshow, images began to flash instantly in her head.

She remembered her and Vinyl with paintball guns and sneaking around at night in the halls. The guards being put down by their smoke bombs, going into her sisters room, and the journal were all flooding her mind until the most vital and now probably the scariest thing for Luna appeared in her mind.

She could see her sister’s face close to hers with a very devious smile and remembered that look in her eyes. She saw the raging, untamed lust in those deceiving eyes and heard Celestia’s last words before she blacked out.

I finally have you.

Immediately the weakness that encumbered her body instantly left and the alicorn’s eyelids flung open. Her heart went from calm to erratic within seconds and her very blood within her body went ice cold as her mind screamed and spewed things that her sister could have done to her and Vinyl while they were unconscious.

Beep! Beep! Bee-.

Luna’s ear twitched as she lay petrified under her blanket and her mind raced with things that made her stomach turn and made her want to vomit but she failed to notice that her alarm had suddenly went off.

I....what if...did she? Would she??? What kind of question is that!?? Of course she would! I gave her the chance and she took it!!! But she said she wouldn’t...I don’t know!

Question and answer ran through her mind. One part of her mind tried to convince herself that despite the way her sister was, Celestia did say she would never try to screw her but then again... she saw the lust in those eyes of hers. Luna considered Tia a nymphomaniac and she was the worst kind...the one’s that seemed to have no bounds.

But would her sister go that far just to please her own raging needs? Even Celestia knew how important Luna’s V-card was to her...or did she?

Many ponies would think that Luna would have done the dirty deed a million times by now in her long life but this was far from truth. As she told Derpy and her sister, she never had a special somepony and in turn, never gotten the chance to engage in such an act. She kept her virginity and only wanted to give it to some pony who truly loved her and deserved it...but her sister?!!

How was she supposed to tell other ponies, like her friend’s, about something like that?! ‘Oh hey girls, just wanted to tell you I had my first time with my sister. Awesome right?’ That would probably raise some questions... and maybe some judgements.

“Hnnnngh!” a voice moaned.

Luna ripped herself away from her terrible thoughts and worries as she heard the loud moan.

“Oh yes!” the voice moaned even louder.

Luna’s felt her face now turn red as she heard the voice’s moans and knew exactly who it was. She knew those moans too well not to know that it wasn’t her one and only...

Rapist!

...sister. Luna had heard those moans the many times she would pass by her sister’s chambers along with the grunting of some stallion or the squealing of some mare.

“Faster!”

She’s...no bucking way! Is she doing it in MY room?!!

“Oh yes! I’m almost there!” Celestia moaned even louder.

Luna couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her own sister takes advantage of her and then dares to now be rutting some other pony in her own room?? A sudden flare of anger now rose up in her as she gritted her teeth and laid under her blanket. She was tolerant of her sister but this was too much for the angered ruler of night.

“Sooo...sooo close! I..I think I’m gonna...!”

Nope! That’s it!

With no more hesitation or thinking and preparing her eyes for what she was about to see, Luna flung her blanket off of her and jumped her off her bed and landed on all four hooves on the floor in one smooth motion.

“Tia! How dare you be doing...that...” she trailed off as she stared at the white alicorn that laid on her back on Luna’s rug, holding something square in her hooves.

“I...I think I’m gonna...WIN! Ha! Take that Discord! That’s for all those times you said no!” her sister cheered.

Princess Celestia laid in the middle of Luna’s room with a childish grin on her face as she held up of what now Luna concluded was her DS. Luna’s mind went static as she tried to comprehend what was going on. First, the fact that Celestia was not doing what she assumed was happening but instead playing her DS blew and second, the fact that Celestia was actually playing a video game.

“Oh! You’re up,” Celestia said, seemingly oblivious to Luna’s previous outburst. She set the small red DS gently down on the ground and stood up, “How did you sleep?” she asked with sincere innocence.

“What did you do to me and Vinyl last night Tia???” Luna exclaimed.

Luna wasn’t wasting any time with her sister. She needed to know if the worst had happened to her and what happened to the DJ. Did she have her way with her too? No doubt if she did, Vinyl would go around Ponyville saying what happened and how pervy her sister was. Worse, word would no doubt get back around to Derpy.

“What do you mean little sister?” Celestia replied, keeping that innocent little smile on her face that was beginning to anger Luna.

“You know exactly what I mean!” Luna yelled, “What did you do to me and Vinyl last night?!!!”

Celestia cocked her brow for a moment, looking as if she absolutely had no clue to what the angered Princess of the Night was referring to, but she then lowered it and chuckled to herself.

“Oh, I know what you mean. You think that I had my way with you two, don’t you?”

“Yes!” Luna blurted, “And I swear if you did, I’m going to show you something way worse than Nightmare Moon!”

That was a hollow threat and Luna knew it. In all honesty, she didn’t know what she would do if Celestia did admit that she screwed her unconscious body. She didn’t know if she would break down and cry or simply stare into space for who knew how long. Either way, she needed to let her sister know that this was a dead serious issue.

sexier than your alter ego? I want to see this.”

Luna’s face blushed and she bit her lower lip. She wanted to just tackle Celestia and beat the living crap out of her right now but she would just probably take that as some type of kinky foreplay.

“Stop that! Tell me if you did or not!”

Celestia let out a sigh of disappointment.

“You really must stop teasing me Luna. Telling me that you could show me something even sexier than Nightmare Moon-”

“I’m not- I mean- Nightmare Moon is not sexy! Now bucking tell me!!!” Luna yelled, stomping her hoof on the ground so hard that the floor underneath cracked a bit.

“Oooooooo, you mad.” Celestia laughed and began prancing around Luna, “You mad, you mad, you mad.”

“Tia.”

“You mad.”

“Stop it.”

“You mad.”

“I said stop Tia!”

Celestia disregarded her and continued, “Little Lulu is maaaaad.”

Luna scrunched her face, trying to control her now rising anger...

“Tia, for the last time I said-”

“You mad.”

...but it was too late.

“ENOUGH!” Luna roared with her royal Canterlot voice and her eyes flashing into a bright white. The window shattered from the force of her voice and all the sheets blew clean off her bed from the magic that now radiated from her body.

Celestia stopped dead in her tracks and simply stared in what looked like... disbelief?

Luna pressed her muzzle hard against Celestia’s and spoke in her deafening voice and stared at the shocked white alicorn with her burning white eyes.

“We demand to know if thou hast fornicated with us and our friend, and we demand an answer NOW!”

Celestia stayed silent with wide eyes.There was a dead silence between the two for a few moments. All that was heard was the seething magic that radiated off Luna’s body and her heavy breathing.

“Well?!” Luna asked with much bass in her voice.

Celestia face of disbelief and shock turned back into a wide smile. She raised her golden hoof and patted Luna’s head like some type of pet.

“Oh yeah, you're definitely mad,” the regal laughed.

Instantly, Luna’s eyes went back to normal and the magic that radiated from her body disappeared. Any anger that Luna had now was completely drained and only utter and raw desperation replaced it. All she wanted was some answer to either calm her thoughts or put them in complete depression; either way, she needed to know. She couldn’t even intimidate the answer out of this troll of a sister.

Luna plopped her rump on the floor and asked the question again but in almost what some would call a pathetic tone.

“Plleeeeease Tia, just tell me if you did. I promise I won’t be mad or anything, regardless of your answer. I just want to know,” Luna now begged and whined.

“Alright fine,” Celestia said as she pranced back to the rug she had left the DS on and picked it up, “I didn’t do anything to you or your friend. You both passed out and I had to carry you back to your room and teleport Vinyl back to her home. I been here all night in your room just watching videos and stuff on this thing.”

She lifted the DS with her magic and showed Luna.

“So... so you didn’t do...you know?” Luna stuttered.

“Nope. Didn’t I already tell you that I wouldn’t do you?” Celestia said in a matter-of-factly tone.

A wave of relief washed over Luna’s body. Vinyl and her were spared Celestia’s sexy charms but now another question rose up in her noggin.

She didn’t do Vinyl?

“Wait, I know you said that you wouldn’t...well you know...cause I’m your sister but what about Vinyl? You could have...” she trailed off again, not wanting to put that picture in her head.

“I could have but I’m a busy pony Luna. Besides,” she gave a dark smirk and looked over to Luna, “It’s no fun when they're not awake to experience my lovely plot.”

Luna shuddered and felt a cold chill down her spine but the fact stood: Celestia didn’t rape her or her friend last night.

“Now, let’s talk about something more interesting,” Celestia began, sitting on her rump on the small rug, “Why were you and Vinyl snooping in my room I wonder.”

Shit.

Luna was hoping that somehow Celestia would forget about that but that was wishful thinking. The alicorn lowered her head. She resolved she might as well come clean about it. It was the least she could do since Celestia was kind enough to not have her way with Vinyl.

“I was trying to get some dirt on you because of those pictures you had of me and Derpy. I thought if I got something on you then you would drop this blackmail you had on me.”

Celestia’s horn lit up a bright yellow and a banana appeared before her. She started to peel it with precision and skill but her smiling face was unchanging.

“And what did you find my dear Luna?”

The journal.

Luna’s eyes were beginning to dart everywhere as she thought about what to say. Celestia kept smiling at her while she waited for an answer but Luna didn’t know if that was a smile to mask anger or just to screw with her mind.

“I know you read my journal, I’m just curious about what you read is all,” Celestia said as she licked her banana in questionable ways.

Shit...she already knows. She’s just mind-bucking me right now.

“I did read your journal, “ Luna admitted, “And I know that you have a crush on your student.”

“Well duh!” Celestia exclaimed, “Every pony knows that. Jeez, you make it sound like it’s some type of dark secret I have or something. The only pony that dosn’t see it is Twilight which isn’t surprising because she’s naive but you? I would have thought you would have seen that a long time ago. If that’s what you were planning to use on me, then you’re a terrible blackmailer.”

“What?!” Luna exclaimed as she cocked her head in sudden confusion, “Then why haven’t you ever told me that you had a crush on her?!”

“Why haven’t you told me that you have a crush on Derpy?” Celestia retorted as she took another bite of her fruit.

Luna’s cheeks flustered.

“I don’t have a crush on her!”

“Then why are you so worried about those pictures I have,huh Lulu?” Celestia asked teasingly.

Now that was a good question that got Luna quiet. Why did she have such a problem with these pictures? Why not let Celestia just show them to Derpy and let the mailmare decide if they were legit? Derpy knew her well enough to tell if something was genuine or not and maybe Derpy knew better than to think that Luna liked her more than a friend but then there was the possibility that she didn’t, and that’s what scared Luna.

“I don’t have a crush on her. No matter what you think, I know that I don’t have a crush on Derpy.”

Celestia chuckled as she finished her delicious banana that she had taken the time to thoroughly enjoy.

“That’s why you and Vinyl came to my room, knocked out my guards- which I have to thank you for because now I can punish them for failing to guard my room and I simply have the perfect punishment in mind- and rummaged through my room just to get dirt on me. That’s totally not because you have a crush on that small pony,” Celestia laughed.

Oh my gosh! No matter what I say she just turns it against me! How does she do that?!!!!

With nothing clever or witty or even something that could prove that she didn’t have a crush on Derpy, Luna simply said one thing.

“Whatever.”

Luna began to pick her sheets up from the floor and summoned a broom to clean up the glass from the window she had broken earlier and would now have to get repaired.

“Awww, come on Luna, don’t be like that,” Celestia whined as she got up and threw the banana peel put the broken window, “You look so cute when you get stumped. Don’t give up now.”

“I give up. So there.”

“But why??? I didn’t even get to tell you my deal that I wanted to make with you,” Celestia pouted.

A deal?

Luna’s curiosity was piqued, for good or worse. She turned her head and slowly began to sweep her floor of glass.

“What deal?” she asked with caution.

“A deal that you can’t refuse,” the white alicorn said in a mafia style tone.

Luna rolled her eyes but still pressed the question. She wanted to know what deal Celestia had in mind.

“What’s the deal Tia?”

“A deal that if you win, you don’t have to come to the party with me and I’ll give you all the pictures I have of you and Derpy. As an added bonus, I’ll get you any new game that comes out for the rest of eternity.”

“Wha-?!”

Luna almost fell on the floor hearing this. Celestia was willing to make a deal that could cost her her hold over her? And she would get all the latest games as soon as they came out for eternity??? This was something that the gamer was really liking.

“And if I don’t win?” Luna asked, trying to keep from drooling over the bonus of new games.

Celestia lowered her eyes and licked her lips.

“If you don’t win, I keep the pictures and you and Derpy will come to this party with me indefinitely. On top of that, you will wear the costume I got for you for all of Nightmare Night and like it.”

It was steep.

As of now, she already had to go to that party with her sister but nothing about wearing some panties and socks. If she agreed to this deal and actually lost, then she would have no choice to and her very reputation and life would be ruined. Ponies would stare at her and judge her, thinking she was some perv or something... just like her sister. She didn’t want to be compared to Celestia.

But then there was the chance that she would win and be completely from Celestia’s blackmail and not have to worry about her embarrassing or humiliating her. Then there was the promise of new games! Now this wasn’t much considering that Luna already got all the new games as soon as they came out, you know, being a princess and all, but the fact that Celestia would go out and get them? It was the very principle of it! Celestia always remarked that it was kind of nerdy to go out in the middle of the night just to pick up some game, so what better than to make her do that and eat her words?

Now there was just the question of what she had to do to win.

“So what’s the deal then?”

Celestia walked over to Luna and summoned something over between them that made Luna’s eyes grow wide.

“Me and my student play a game of Halo against you and Derpy and whoever wins, wins the bet,” Celestia said as she levitated an xbox controller between them.

Luna stared at the controller and then at her sister. She scrunched her snout and bit her tongue as she felt a rush of laughter begin to fill her. She began to snicker and snort a few times as she tried to hold back her laughter but it was futile and within moments, Princess Luna was laughing her ass off.

“Bahahahahaha!” Luna screeched hysterically, falling onto her bed, “You?!! You... by Equestria! You think you could beat me and Derpy?!! No way!!”

“Yep,” Celestia stated with a cheery smile, taking no offense to Luna blatantly insulting her.

Luna laughed even harder and tears began to roll down her cheeks, “Tia! You don’t even play video games!”

“So then it should be pretty easy for you to win right?” Celestia said happily.

Luna quelled her laughter a bit and looked at her sister with teary eyes.

“So you’re serious? We play a game of Halo and when we beat you, then you will give me all those pictures and everything?”

“Sure will little sister. I always keep my word when I make a deal.”

This couldn’t get any better. Celestia was challenging her, the most badass gamer there was along with Derpy, to a video game match? Luna had to ask if she was serious because it seemed like just one giant, hilarious joke but her sister was serious about this little deal.

Luna got up from her bed as she wiped away some tears away from her cheek and let a chuckle or two escape her as the thought of her sister actually thinking that she had a chance to beat her and make some deal like this.

“Okay Tia, you got a deal. You want to get your ass whipped right now then?” Luna said with cockiness. She was enjoying this too much that she was ready to get her friend and show Celestia who owned when it came to games right now.

Celestia’s eyes lit up and hopped up in the air.

“What?! You want to whip my ass Luna?! You dirty filly!”

“You know what I mean Tia,” Luna laughed.

Not even her sister’s dirty comment could deter Luna from this amusement. Her mind was simply boggled that Celestia would make a deal with like this when there was just no way that Celestia could win it. This deal was already in the bag for Luna!

“Ha, okay then Luna,” Celestia pressed her face against Luna’s but the dark princess didn’t give. She pressed her muzzle against her sisters and they both narrowed their eyes.

“You want to know when?” the white alicorn asked with a slyness.

“It won’t matter. I will beat you anytime, anyday,” Luna answered with confidence.

“Okay then...saturday night. You and Derpy vs me and Twilight. Think you can handle that little sister?”

Luna licked her lips and smiled even wider. It wasn’t a question of if they could handle Celestia, but if Celestia would be able to handle them after her and Derpy owned her ass. The gamer princess didn’t back off and only said one thing.

“Challenge Accepted.”

To Defend Her Love--err-- Gam3r

Thursday: Two days before match against Princess Celestia.

“I’m tired of them trampling through my garden when they play their hooligan games and I demand that they be punished for it!”

Luna sat on her throne with her head leaning against her silver hoof and stared off into space. The cranky old, brown stallion that stood before her had been rambling about how precious his flowerbed and things were to him and had came to her to complain about some colt’s and filly’s that sometimes seemed to run through it when they played tag.

The princess would know that if she had been paying attention but she was left to her own thoughts as the old bag spat and spewed ways that the said children should be punished. She was more preoccupied with thoughts of her friend, Derpy.

Three days had past since her best friend had left for Ponyville, as was usual after their gaming night’s together. What was unusual though was that she hadn’t heard from the mailmare since then and she missed her a lot... may be way more than she should but Luna couldn’t help it. She missed her friend and the only thing that was helping the alicorn get through her day was her thoughts of the grey mare.

The image of Derpy seemed to haunt her mind constantly now, especially during her court when she was supposed to be listening to her subject’s complaints and other crap. All she could see was those crossed eyes that could induce anypony to have some type of cutegasm and her blonde mane while she smiled bright and wide.

This was the innocent part of her mind but there was now another side of her inner eye that had reared it’s ugly head in the past few days. One she tried to block out but the more she tried to repress it, the worse it got.

Just earlier this day, she found herself in her bed this morning, staring at the ceiling of her chambers as she imagined Derpy on top of her, holding each other and being tongue locked at their mouths. Ideas...dirty ideas... plagued her mind and made her want her friend even more but thankfully the princess was able to rip her mind away from these thoughts before she indulged in them. Oh, but how she sometimes wished to indulge in them...she wanted to take it all the way but she couldn’t. She was to afraid too. Maybe afraid of being similar to her sister?

Derpy Hooves was her friend and Luna knew it wasn’t right to think of such things of the mailmare. These feelings and thoughts to her were still alien, still with no real explanation of why, and ever since her awkward discussion with Cadence and Vinyl, she has kept these ever increasing emotions to herself.

But what about Vinyl’s suggestion? What about talking to her stallion friend she referred to as Perro?

Simple.

Luna simply kept forgetting. The many times that she would get online and own her victims, she would always forget to see if Vinyl’s friend was online and take the chance to talk to him about these damned feeling that consumed her mind with the image of her beautiful friend.

Or maybe she was just too nervous to tell him? Was she afraid of what judgement she would get? Would she be scorned for having these type of feelings for a friend?

“Hey! Are you even listening to me?!” the old stallion exclaimed, noticing that this ruler was off in whatever land she was instead of listening to him bitch.

“Not really,” Luna stated flatly, her mind still wrapped around Derpy.

“Wha...what?! What kind of ruler are you who doesn't even listen to her subjects?? This is insulting! I’m having a crisis and you don’t even care?!”

Luna simply stared at the old stallion. She was now trying to remember what he was complaining about. She heard the words ‘kids’ and ‘garden’. Being the smart mare she was, she put the two together and winged it real quick so she could get this pony out of here.

“Look, you can’t come to me to go and punish some kids because they are screwing up your garden. I only deal with stuff that are actually important. Your garden is...well...not exactly up there. Sorry,” Princess Luna explained, trying to be as nice as possible about it.

The old stallion scrunched his face and Luna could see his old cheeks begin to light up. He was obviously angry but she knew that this pony was trying to restrain himself. Many kept in mind of what she formerly was and the power that came along with it...a power that they did not want to invoke upon them even though she would never resort to that.

“Fine then. I’ll just be on my way then, your highness,” the stallion hissed through his teeth as he turned to make his exit out of her court.

Luna simply put on a fake smile to make it seem like she appreciated him coming to her about something so stupid. What she needed to do was find out how Derpy was doing...not that she didn’t miss hearing her voice or anything, nothing of that sort. Really.

Maybe I should call her. She should be on break or something.

Luna looked around. Her guards stood at every door and there was a line of ponies that awaited to be helped but it was obvious to Luna that she was in no condition to help anypony until she found out why her friend had been silent the past few days. So, with only one thing to do and with the knowledge that most of these ponies would hate her for doing this, she gave the command.

“Guard!”

One of the guards, dawned in black armor with her insignia emblazoned on his chestpiece, that stood next to her throne quickly brought his attention to her.

“Yes your highness?”

“Could you dismiss my court for me for the rest of the day please? I have some personal matters to take care of.”

“Is it about your friend, Miss Hooves?”

Luna’s cheeks flustered.

“Wha-?! How...you been talking to my sister again, haven’t you?”

The guard smiled sheepishly, “Sorry princess, I kind of overheard Princess Celestia talking about you and Miss Hooves.”

Probably going around saying that we’re bucking each other silly or something.

The guard quickly changed the subject, noticing that it seemed like something that shouldn’t be discussed with the Princess of the Night.

“I’ll dismiss your court for you Princess Luna. You can take care of whatever you feel is important.”

Luna softly smiled, happy that at least her guard wasn’t going to try and push this.

“Thank you.”

The guard nodded and turned to the line of ponies as Luna began to make her way out. She didn’t want to hear what ponies were going to yell when he dismissed them. They would probably spew out insults along the lines ‘lazy’ or ‘Incompetent.’ There was even one time that some pony yelled that she was ugly. None of these really bothered her...or at least that’s what she showed.

Luna opened the side door of her court and left the accursed room just in time. As soon as she closed the door behind her and began walking in the marble hall, she could hear a commotion of voices coming from her court.

They mad. Oh well. I have more important things to find out right now.

Luna summoned her phone in front of her with her magic and dialed Derpy’s number. She needed to know where her friend had been... and maybe just hear that adorkable voice again. Luna put the phone to her ear and waited.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

“C’mon. Answer the phone.”

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Luna bit her bottom lip. Derpy always had her phone with her. Why wasn’t she answering?

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Fear and worry started to set in Luna. Did she do something that made Derpy mad? Did Derpy not want to talk to her because of something she might have done unwittingly? Or was it that her friend now realized what her sister was after the whole thing with the socks and panties? So many questions now ran through her scattered mind.

Hi! If I didn’t answer my phone, I’m sorry. I’m either busy baking muffins or..well...yeah that’ s really just it. Just leave a message and I’ll answer ASAP. I’ll even send an apology muffin since I didn’t answer. Just tell me what flavor. Bye!

Luna sighed as she heard the voice message. Something in her gut was telling her that something wasn’t right. Derpy always answered when she called, even times when she was flying and delivering mail. (Don’t fly and text kids.)

The alicorn shut her phone before the long beep came on and she had to leave a voicemail. For three days she hadn’t heard from the mailmare and Luna was now worried it was because she was mad with her for some reason. She didn’t know what but the pull in her stomach that was telling her something wasn’t right kept tugging at her.
Maybe you should go check on her yourself if she won’t answer her phone.

The little voice was right! Why not just travel to Ponyville and see her blonde friend there? It has been a while since she had been in Ponyville and it would be nice to get out of Canterlot for a bit but what was she going to say? ‘Oh hey Derpy, I just got paranoid that you didn’t like me anymore so I came here to see if you didn’t want to be my friend anymore.’

No, she couldn’t say that. She would look like some paranoid foal. She thought for a second and quickly came with an answer that would be the perfect guise.

“Ohhhh Five Star!” she chimed, loving her small excuse that she was going to use to see her friend.

“I have the sudden hunger for muffins.”

****

The cool wind whipped across Luna’s face and she embraced it with a wide smile. It felt refreshing to get out of Canterlot and be out in the open blue sky. She admired the white clouds that pegasi have so skillfully placed and her sister’s bright sun that hung over the sky.

Luna knew that raising and creating her mystical night was her special talent, along with gaming, but she wouldn’t have mind if she had gotten a cutie mark that represented flying. Now she was no racer like a certain pegasus with a multi-colored mane, but it was the feeling of being light in a vast sea of air. She felt alive and exhilarated when she sped through the sky.

There it is.

Luna spotted a familiar tower that stood in the middle of a small town. She flapped her wings harder and held onto the dark blue bag that hung over her back, filled with her delicious excuses to see her friend and see why she hadn’t heard from her.

Maybe I should have given notice that I was coming.

Given notice? Didn’t she already try to call her friend?

This was true but now she was thinking about the town itself. It wasn’t everyday that a princess just flew into Ponyville and she was worried that residents would freak out, despite this not being the first time she had been in Ponyville. Regardless, her desire to see her friend and make sure everything was still cool between them outweighed these petty worries.
With no more hesitation, Luna descended down into the small town and with grace and precision, landed softly onto the ground.

The alicorn quickly looked around. Cottages and small houses lined the dirt road along with carts of merchandise and foods. Luckily for the princess, most ponies in this very busy area were too pre-occupied and the ones that did take notice of her simply stared for a moment and went back to their business.

Hmm...maybe I was wrong about how they would react-

“Princess Luna!” a voice yelled.

Spoke too soon.

She turned her head, ready to take on whatever some pony wanted from her but instead was met with Ponyville’s notorious couple, Lyra and Bon Bon.

“Oh hey Lyra. Bon Bon.”

“Hello,” Bon Bon replied. She had a small bag hanging across her back. It was green and Luna noticed that it had a small muffin stamp on it, obviously crafted from the hooves of her friend.

“No pony said anything about you coming to Ponyville princess. If I would have known, I would have had Bons here make some candy for ya or something.”

“Oh yeah!” Bon Bon exclaimed happily, “I made a new recipe for some mints I was making.”

“So what brings you here Luna?” Lyra asked before Bon Bon went on about her recipes and such.

“Well, I came here to bring some muffins to Derpy,” Luna replied happily.

Luna held out the bag and showed them the assortment of baked goods that sat in her bag but noticed that something was off. The alicorn noticed that Lyra’s and Bon Bon’s faces turned into ones of uncertainty.

“Is something wrong?” Luna asked.

Lyra and Bon Bon looked at each other and back at Luna.

“Well...ummm,” Lyra began, rubbing her hooves together as she tried to think how she was going to tell Luna whatever had to be told, “It’s about Derpy.”

A sudden fear struck into Luna’s heart. What about Derpy? The earlier worry about her grey friend began to grip her mind. Maybe she did do something that made the pony not want to talk to her.

“What’s wrong with Derpy?” Luna asked with uneasiness.

Lyra bit her bottom lip while she looked at Bon Bon, trying to signal that it was her turn to speak.

“Well Princess...she kind of told us not to say anything...to you...in particular.”

“What??”

Oh no! I did do something! She hates me and I don’t even know why!

But what could she have done? Luna searched the recesses of her mind and memory of the past few days. She ran through every image and thought, trying to see if somehow she unwittingly made her friend upset but couldn’t find anything.

“Why doesn't she want me to know??” Luna asked, trying to keep the sudden worry hidden in her voice.

Bon bon shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know Luna but she seemed really upset when she came back from work Sunday, and the first thing she said was not to tell you anything. She didn’t even tell us why she was so upset but whatever it was, it must have really gotten to her because she was crying.”

She was crying?! Luna you damn idiot!

Luna felt her heart sinking in her chest as an image of Derpy came into her mind. She could see the small pony with wide, watery eyes as she sat there with a giant frown on her face and cried...because of her. Her stomach turned and Luna swore that she could even feel water forming at the corner of her eyes. Did she cause so much unknown damage to bring such an innocent mare to tears?

She needed to know what she did.

“Where is Derpy now? At work?” Luna asked. She needed to see Derpy and find out what she had done and fix all this...somehow.

“She’s at home with Dinky. I just saw the two at the bank an hour ago so I’m assuming their home now.”

Luna nodded.

“Thank you. I’m going to go see her and find out what’s going on with her.”

“Well good luck princess. Maybe you’ll have better luck than us,” Lyra said, “We’ll talk to you later Luna. C’mon Bon Bon, lets get to the sperm bank before we’re late.”

“Bye Luna,” the cream colored mare chimed as she followed her lover to the questionable deposit facility of a male’s reproductive cells.

Luna waved her hoof and smiled while inside she was beating herself up and down for doing whatever she did to her friend. She needed to make things right and find out what she did. Luna didn’t know if she could bear losing her best friend...

Or maybe she couldn’t bear losing something more than just a best friend.

****

Princess Luna didn’t know how long she had been standing at the door. Her hoof was up right next to it, ready to knock and see her friend but she couldn’t just bring her hoof to meet the wooden door. Fear and worry had gripped her from doing so and kept her frozen in place like her old nemesis, Discord.

C’mon Luna! Just knock on the door and find out what you did. Stop being scared. For all you know, it might be something completely different!

Luna doubted the little voice in her head.

“No...I had to have done something. Why would she not answer her phone and tell Lyra and Bon Bon not to tell me huh?”

Maybe because it might piss you off or something, the hay I know. I’m just a voice in your head...jeez. Expecting me to have all the answers. How about you just knock and find out yeah?

“But what would piss me off? What could she possibly do to piss me off and why not just tell me??” Luna asked this pestering voice in her noggin.

Hmmm. How about when she blew up your computer? Oh, and let’s not forget when she took Pinkie’s party cannon and blew up your life size replica of Master Chief and Samus fighting each other...anything else?

Luna grimaced.

“I wasn’t pissed per say...just a little...disappointed was all.”

“Woona? Who you talkin’ to?” a little voice asked below the alicorn, making her quickly throw herself out of her own personal conversation.

There below her was a small filly that had opened the door. She had a small blonde mane and a tiny horn that split it. Her eyes were the same color as Derpy’s and her coat was a light, grayish violet.

“Why hello there Dinky,” Luna greeted and smiled, “How are you doing today?”

“I’m doing okay. My sister didn’t tell me that you were coming Woona,” the small filly answered in her small voice.

Luna loved hearing Dinky say her name. She had tried teaching the filly how to say her name properly but grew to hearing ‘Woona.’ It was just damn cute alright, don’t judge her.

“Why just okay Dinky? Is there something wrong with your sister?” Luna asked as she knelt down to be on the filly’s level.

Dinky looked around, like she was being watched or something but then nodded her head.

“She’s been really sad. I know because she hasn’t baked any muffins for a while and I love my sister’s muffins. She won’t tell me what’s wrong, no matter how many times I ask her. I love my sister now being home all the time but I don’t want to see her sad.”

Luna raised her brow. The muffin mare not baking any muffins on a daily basis? What had Luna done to be that severe?

“Well maybe I can. Is it okay if I come in and see her?”

Dinky nodded her head furiously.

“Yeah! Maybe you can make her happy again Woona!”

Luna smiled again and got up to follow the small filly inside. The wooden door opened and Luna made sure to close it behind her. The scent of muffins and flowers filled her nostrils and she could instantly feel the warm embrace of this small home.

The alicorn took in the small setup of the living room. A small T.V. sat on a small nightstand in the middle of the room. There next to it was a PS3 and 360, ready to be played if need be. A futon sat across the T.V. with another nightstand sitting right next to the couch/bed. On the back wall, portraits of Derpy and her sister hung across it. There were some where they were both making goofy faces, some where they were both dressed up, and some were just with them two smiling together.

It was obvious that these two sister’s loved each other very much and it warmed the dark princess’s heart. She now felt even more compelled to see what she had done and make it right. Luna wasn’t the only one who missed that cheery mare but also her sister.

“You want a muffin Woona? I made these myself,” Dinky asked as she held out a tray of black burnt muffins.

Luna smiled sheepishly. She couldn’t really say no, especially to this small filly who looked up to her with hopeful eyes.

“Sure. I’ll just um...save this for the trip back to Canterlot later,” Luna said as she took the muffin and placed it in her bag of other muffins.”

Dinky smiled and set the tray down.

“My sister is in her room. She down that hallway. Last door and on the left,” Dinky instructed and pointed her small hoof.

“Thank you Dinky. I’ll be sure to get your sister back and up to her old self.”

Because I bucked up somehow.

“Thanks Woona.”

Dinky turned away and went into the kitchen and Luna assumed to probably bake more burnt muffins. Probably a bit unsafe for a filly for her age but the alicorn thought that the unicorn was smart enough to operate an oven...at least to burn muffins.

Luna trotted down the small hallway. It was nothing like the ones in Canterlot Castle; adorned with portraits of renowned ponies and made in expensive marble stone...she liked it. Luna liked the simplicity that Derpy’s humble abode had compared to the complexity the castle had.

Last door on the left.

Princess Luna looked to her left and knew that this was the right door. A muffin shaped plaque hung on it with bold letters reading Derpy Hooves.

Well. You gonna knock or we going to have a repeat of earlier?

As much as she didn’t want to, she needed to. Luna was very concerned for her friend and needed to know what she did to bring Derpy to such a state. She couldn’t handle knowing that she did something to hurt her friend and not rectify it.

Luna took a deep breath.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Derpy...It’s Luna.”

“Luna?” a voice said from behind the door.

“Yes. I came here to bring you some muffins but I was being told that you haven’t been...” she paused as she tried to think of nice word for all this, “happy lately.”

There was a silence for a few moments but then Luna heard a shuffling of what sounded like papers and hoof steps, followed now by a click of the door.

“Come in,” the mare stated flatly.

Luna obeyed and slowly opened the door and entered Derpy’s room. Posters of multiple movies and gaming icons were hung in this small room and a bed that was covered in a plethora of newspapers and magazines with a grey mare sitting in the middle of it, her back towards Luna.

“What’s with all the papers and stuff?” Luna asked as she shut the door behind her.

Derpy let out a small sigh.

“Did Lyra and Bon Bon tell you?”

Luna’s body went to ice. Derpy’s voice was not the cheery and soft voice that she knew but something completely different. She could sense the sadness and maybe a bit of irritation in it. Maybe this was all a bad idea.

“Um well...I did pass by them and they told me that you haven’t been yourself lately but for some reason couldn’t tell me why and that they weren’t supposed to...um...tell me.”

Derpy didn’t respond and began to sniffle while Luna just stood there and stared at her beloved friend. A silence formed between them for a few moments that felt like forever for Luna. The alicorn had to know what has caused this sadness within the mailmare. What did she do to bring this upon her?

“What did I do Derpy? Please, I didn’t mean to make you upset or anything,” Luna blurted, breaking the silence that was torturing her.

Derpy turned to her in the pile of papers and magazines with watery eyes.

“What? What are you talking about Luna?” Derpy asked as she sniffled more and tried to hold back tears.

“Didn’t I do something to make you mad or upset? I haven’t heard from you for the past few days and I tried calling today and you never answered, so I thought you were mad at me because of something I did.”

Derpy sniffed again and weakly chuckled.

“Sorry about that. My phone’s been turned off but I’m not mad at you or anything. Probably should have sent a letter to you telling you that it was off.”

Turned off?

“Turned off? Was your phone stolen that it had to be turned off or something?” Luna asked as she went over and took a seat on the floor in front of Derpy.

Derpy’s crossed eyes looked left and right.

“Well no. I couldn’t pay my bill so it got turned off.”

Luna raised her brow in confusion.

“Your bill? Well if you didn’t have enough bits to pay it, why didn’t you tell me? I would have covered it for you. Is that what’s gotten you so upset?”

She saw Derpy’s lower lip begin to tremble and her golden eyes fill with watery, held back tears.

“No...it’s not that,” Derpy whimpered.

Luna placed her silver hoof on Derpy’s shoulder as the small mare whimpered. The alicorn’s very heart seemed to feel like it was breaking piece by piece as she watched Derpy hold back tears.

“Please tell me Derpy,” Luna asked softly.

“I...I...,” Derpy stuttered and tears began to roll down her face, “I lost my job.”

“What?!” Luna exclaimed in bewilderment,” You lost your job?? How?!”

Derpy wiped the tears from her face, though it did little as new ones just came down.

“I was late delivering a few packages again and my boss got mad at me and stuff. He started calling me names and fired me because I wasn’t dependable. I tried begging him to let me keep my job...I loved my job....and I would do better but he threw me out and so here I am now, looking for new work,” Derpy explained through her whimpers and tears.

Luna’s heart fell into her stomach. She knew how much Derpy loved her job and now to lose it... it was probably devastating for the mare but also a flare of anger lit up in her. How could anypony fire her friend? One that loved her job and had even came out in rain and snow just to do it? She couldn’t let this stand.

“He fired you because you were late for a few packages?! That’s... that’s a stupid reason to fire you!” Luna exclaimed as her anger grew.

Derpy quickly noticed the anger in Luna’s voice and waved her hooves to calm the alicorn down.

“It’s okay Luna, he was right! I didn’t deserve to have that job if I couldn’t be on time with my deliveries.”

Luna got up, not believing what she was hearing.

“What?! Derpy, your the best mare for the job and so what you were late for a few packages?! That’s complete bullshit to fire you because of that! And then he called you names?? What kind of names?”

Derpy looked around, hesitant to answer but Luna was a little more than pissed and was not going to let this injustice stand against her friend.

“What did he say to you Derpy?” Luna asked firmly.

Tears began to roll down the grey mare’s face again. She motioned for Luna to come closer and Luna obeyed. Derpy put her mouth to Luna’s ear and whispered into it, saying a name that made the gamer princess completely lose it.

“WHAT?! He called you that????!”

Derpy nodded silently.

Complete and utter rage now took hold of Luna. No pony was going to call her friend, her fellow gamer, such a name and get away with it. With a quickness, she pulled Derpy off the bed and began dragging her by her hoof and out the door of her room.

“Wha-?! Luna, what are you doing?!” Derpy said as she was dragged on the carpet.

Luna gritted her teeth and her eyes narrowed. A fire burned in her that couldn’t be quelled and there was only one way to satiate this gamer’s rage.

“We’re going to get your job back.”

(A/N. Wow, I wrote a serious chapter...WTF am I doing??)

Level 10

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 10

Luna’s Wrath

“This is the place. My old workplace,” Derpy said with a sad tone as she admired the small postal office.

Luna also studied the small cloud building. It was nothing like she envisioned but it had definitely been awhile since she had actually seen a post office before. A thousand year banishment can make you forget how some things looked like.

It was a small place with a sign on it’s door reading Cloudsdale Postal Office. The duo simply stood outside of it as ponies walked in and out of with parcels of mail and various packages

“Is he in here right now?” Luna asked, her anger still present in her and only wanting to see this bastard of a stallion who not only fired her friend because of stupid crap but also a name that this alicorn would not tolerate at all.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure he is. He’s always in his office around noon counting his bits,” Derpy answered as she looked at the determined regal.

Luna gritted her teeth as the image of her friend crying from earlier appeared once again in her mind and how broken she felt inside to see her that way. She was more than eager to give this boss of Derpy’s a piece of her mind...or her hoof through his face.

“Luna, can I ask you something before we go in and do this?” Derpy asked nervously.

Luna looked over to the nervous mare. She understood why Derpy was nervous about all this, especially considering that her friend had never seen her this mad before at some pony. Luna tried to never get mad in front of her because she even knew that she was a bit intimidating when she was angry but this was a situation where she couldn’t help it. This was not a type of anger that went away after a few minutes or hours but one that would only go away once the source of it had seen retribution.

“Of course my friend. Ask away,” Luna encouraged as she met her friend’s crossed eye gaze.

“What do you plan on doing to get my job back? I doubt he’s just going to say ‘Oh okay, here’s your job back.’ He’s not exactly the type to listen to ponies.”

I have no idea but I do know I’m going to do things to him that would make even Discord cry.

Luna really didn’t know how she was going to get Derpy’s job back but she knew for a fact that she would somehow. She was prepared to kill, rape, and even nuke things if it meant getting her friend’s job back.

This shit was just that deep.

“Don’t worry about that. I promise you that you will have your job back by the time we’re done here and everything will be back to normal,” Luna answered, firm in her promise and belief.

“Well...okay then,” Derpy answered with a small smile, taking heart in Luna’s promise, “I just don’t want you to get in trouble or anything.”

In trouble?

How could she, a ruler of Equestria and the master of the night, get in trouble for something like this? What could this boss of Derpy’s do to her that would actually get her in trouble?

“Trouble? Derpy, I doubt he can do anything to me and even if he tried, you and I both know ponies still fear me because of Nightmare Moon.”

“I know and that’s what I’m talking about.”

Luna cocked her brow, confused of what her friend was trying to say.

“What do you mean?”

Derpy sighed and began to explain.

“Your a princess, Luna. If ponies find out what you’re doing and find out it’s because we’re best friends, they will think that you're abusing your power and stuff and think that you’re some kind of tyrant or something.”

She has a point Luna. You think ponies think bad of you now? If they get wind of this, you know a shitstorm is sure to follow.

Derpy was right, along with her inner little voice. No doubt this would cause problems on her part if she did this but she didn’t care. Her reputation and standing was not her concern when she knew that somepony had made her friend cry her eyes out. If anything, this was going to be a message to every pony to not mess with her beloved friend and if they did, they would have to contend with her.

Luna smiled and answered her nervous friend.

“Then let them think of me as a tyrant. All I care is what you think of me Derpy and I’m not going to let this guy treat you anyway he wants. You’re my best friend and I refuse to let this go unanswered. I’m not worried about my reputation and you shouldn’t worry either.”

Derpy let a small smile escape her, compelling her to go over to the alicorn and give her a small hug.

“That means a lot Luna.”

Luna gladly hugged her friend back, happy to see that she was now feeling a bit better and that she herself wasn’t getting all flustered over it this time. She wanted Derpy to be happy and she wouldn’t accept anything less and she was willing to do whatever it took to make her happy.

Anything Luna? That sounds like a lover to me.

Luna hushed the small voice in her head but hearing the word ‘lovers’ sounded pretty nice to her for some unknown, obvious reason.

Derpy broke the hug after a few moments.

“You’re positive you want to do this Luna? You know I could always just find new work right?”

“More than positive. He needs to know that you’re not one to make fun of and that you’re the best worker he ever had and will have, Luna answered without hesitation”

Derpy nodded.

“Okay. If you’re super sure then I guess we better do this.”

Luna agreed. It was a challenge to hold all this anger inside and it demanded release and Derpy’s boss was going to be the vent for it all.

With nothing else to do and no more insecurities from her friend, they both entered the small cloud building.

****

“You can’t speak to him right now.”

“What?!” Luna blurted,”And why not?”

The white pegasus mare that sat behind the counter looked up at Luna with her granny glasses, giving the alicorn a look that screamed ‘Didn’t you hear what the hell I just said?’

“Speedy Delivery is a very busy pony and doesn't have time to take complaints personally. If you wish , you can file a complaint over at the next desk or if you need to pick up a package or mail, I would be happy to help you.”

He runs a postal office! How busy can that asshole be?!

“Um maybe we should just go then Luna,” Derpy quickly suggested as she could see Luna losing her nerve with this mail clerk.

“No!,” Luna exclaimed,” We’re not leaving until I see him.”

“If you have a complaint, just go file it at the next desk and it will be addressed Princess Luna. I would love to help you so you could see him but he only takes appointments and it’s policy here.”

Luna bit her bottom as her anger began to build up. What could this Speedy Delivery guy be doing that was so important that he only took appointments? He ran a postal office! She could understand if he was some type of doctor or lawyer but this was simply ridiculous and there was no way she was leaving here without getting her friend’s job back.

She promised that she would and she wasn’t going back on that.

“Look,” Luna began, trying to keep herself from grabbing the mare that sat behind the counter and frying her pompous face off with her magic, “Could you please just make an exception and let me speak to him. It’s very important I do.”

The mare simply gave Luna some type of dumb look and rolled her eyes.

“Just because you’re a princess doesn't mean you get special rights. There are rules that I have to follow and in turn that you must follow. There’s a desk right over there to file a complaint...like I said before,” the clerk said in an annoyed tone.

I’m about to kill this bitch...

Luna took a deep breath. She was about to go postal on this mare if she continued this way with her.

“Okay, I don’t know what your problem is but I’m going to see this Speedy Delivery guy whether you want me to or not,” Luna said with a dark tone, trying her hardest to stay in control of her inner rage.

“And what if I don’t let you?” the clerk said with a smug attitude, “I know you can’t throw me in the dungeons because I’m following policy.”

Luna smirked and narrowed her eyes. The clerk did have a point and she couldn’t threaten her with imprisonment like the Old Days but she knew something much worse.

“No, but I’m sure you have heard stories about my sister...you know...her hobbies?”

The clerk’s face suddenly went whiter than her own coat and her eyes went wide as she took off her glasses.

“You mean...?”

Luna nodded her head.

“Yep and it would be a shame if somehow she showed up at your place one night to have a little ‘chat’ with you.”

“B..but I heard those weren’t t..true,” the clerk began to stutter..

Luna chuckled, loving that she was now scaring the living crap out of this pony. Hopefully this fear would help her get to her real target.

“Maybe, maybe not. It’s your choice if you want to find out if they are or not. If you don’t want to find out, then simply let me see your superior.”

The frightened mare began to tremble, probably wondering if Luna was bluffing her flank off or threatening her with her sisters ‘hobbies.’

“Okay...

Gotcha.

“...I’ll take you to him. Just let me go get the keys and I’ll let you in the back your highness.”

“Good,” Luna answered with a smile, “I’m happy to hear that.”

The clerk got up from her seat and disappeared to get the key and give Luna access to Derpy’s boss.

The alicorn turned to her friend who had simply been standing there beside her in awe as Luna achieved what probably the grey mare thought wouldn’t happen.

“You just totally BS’d her didn’t you?”

Not really.

The stories of her sister appearing underneath ponies beds was no myth or far-fetched tale and the things she would do to them was more than true, but she would never tell her sister to basically go molest a pony on her behalf. No pony deserved that kind of punishment...or pleasure depending how they took it. So it wasn’t really bullshit at all but Derpy didn’t need to know that.

“Totally,” she lied.

The clerk came out of a door on the side near her counter and signaled for both mares to come to her. Derpy and Luna obeyed and entered the back, following the white pegasus as she led them down to Speedy’s office. The small group came to a small hallway and went down it until the clerk stopped in front of a door with a golden plaque that read Speedy Delivery.

The clerk turned around to the duo.

“Give me a moment and let me tell him that you are here to speak to him Princess Luna.”

“Do what you have to,” Luna answered. The mare quietly opened the door and shut it behind her, leaving the two for a few moments.

“Luna...”

The alicorn turned to the grey mare and saw her shaking violently.

“...I’m a bit nervous again.”

That was obvious but why? Luna had thought her friend had released this nervousness when they were outside and she had her. She wasn’t going to let this stallion do anything to hurt her, emotionally or physically.

“Why?” Luna simply asked.

“Well-um-there’s something else I didn’t tell you Luna...”

What? There’s more?

Luna didn’t want to know if there was more...but she had to know. Any wrong that was committed against Derpy had to dealt with...it was her duty as her friend...for now.

“Tell me,” Luna said.

Derpy shifted her hooves on the cloud floor and Luna could see small tears well up in her eyes.

“I can’t really tell you...”

“Why not?”

“...because I have to show you.”

Derpy lifted her forearm and turned it a bit. Luna’s eyes went wide and her mouth dropped. The grey mare’s under leg was bruised violently to the point that it discolored her grey fur around the area. It was black and purple with a mix of yellow, obvious signs of somepony getting beat.

“D..Did he...?” Luna stuttered as her rage quickly consumed her. It was anger so violent now that Luna could feel a terrible magic building up inside her to the point of making her body feel intensely hot.

Derpy simply nodded.

THAT BASTARD! HE HURT HER?! HE HIT HER?!!!

“Derpy...,” Luna said through her gritted teeth, ”Leave right now.”

“What?!” Derpy said with an extremely worried voice, “Are you mad at me?”

Luna quickly shook her head. She was nowhere near mad at her. In fact, she wasn’t even mad.

She was livid with this son of a bitch stallion that would dare hit her mare.

“I just need you to leave and wait outside for me,” Luna said as her voice began to change into her Canterlot voice.

Derpy quickly got what was going on and knew that what she had just revealed to Luna had induced the goddess's wrath.

“O..okay,” Derpy quickly said and obeyed the enraged princess without anymore question and left the hallway.

Luna didn’t want Derpy to see her like this but she had lost all control and she knew that if Derpy saw what she was about to do, the grey mare would fear her for eternity.

Luna looked at the door with the golden plaque and read the name several times, only fueling this hatred and anger for this guy even more until the alicorn finally broke.

“You bastard!” she bellowed and charged through the door.

****

“I told that damn retard not to come back. Didn’t I make that clear when I held that staff meeting?”

“Yes Mr. Delivery but Princess Luna is the one who wishes to speak with you,” the white mare said.

The brown stallion with his white mane and dark brown eyes sat in his chair with a hay cigar in his mouth, eyeing this clerk with extreme prejudice.

“And what makes you think I give a damn what she wants? Just because she has a royal title? Let me guess, that’s why you let her back here right?”

The clerk looked down at the floor and stood silent.

Speedy Delivery scoffed.

“I swear, you mares are some dumbass bitches you know that? That’s why I’m in charge around here cause I don’t get pushed around. Tell them both to leave and that I don’t have time for whatever they want, you got it?”

The mare quickly nodded her head.

“Yes Mr. Deliver-”

[Really dramatic music because I was listening to it while writing this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNPvjZXALV0&feature=related]

“You bastard!” A voice bellowed from behind the door, making the mare jump and the stallion stand up from his chair.

“What the hell was-” but he wouldn’t be able to finish.

The door suddenly flew off it’s hinges and lodged itself into the cloud wall next to Speedy (I know their clouds but whatever) and there before the clerk and the stallion, both who were utterly shocked, was Princess Luna with burning white eyes and swirls of magic covering her entire body. Ripples of violent magic covered her horn and electric black sparks flashed around her figure.

The alicorn looked over to the terrified mail clerk that had fallen onto the floor and was quickly backing away from the goddess.

“GET OUT!” Luna commanded.

“Okay!” the clerk quickly answered and flew her flank right out of this soon to be grave, leaving only her and her victim.

“YOU! You’re the one they call Speedy Delivery?!!” Luna roared as she slowly went over to him, staggering a bit from her enraged power.

The stallion backed away, staying behind his desk as if it was somehow going to protect him.

“W...what do you want y..your highness?” the stallion stuttered in a foalish, small voice.

“Our friend! You! You hurt her! YOU BUCKING HURT HER!!!” Luna screeched, stabbing sheer terror through the stallion’s heart.

She came to the desk as the stallion backed himself against the cloud wall behind him. She looked down at the desk that blocked her path to her victim and zapped it with a black electric bolt, disintegrating the furniture into dust.

“Holy shit!” a voice yelled along with other multiple voices from behind. Luna quickly turned around and saw a group forming at what used to be the entrance to the office. Employees and customers stood there in awe and terror as they looked upon their ruler, seeing her fearsome rage and power but she didn’t care.

Luna didn’t care about anything anymore, only that she make this stallion suffer just like he made her mare suffer.

“She’s gone nuts! I told you she was still Nightmare Moon!” a voice yelled in the group.

“BE GONE. ALL OF YOU!” Luna commanded.

Her horn lit up, letting a black smoke pour out of her horn tip. It engulfed the room and slowly the group disappeared and everything around her except the stallion who was now screaming for help.

“Help! Somepony help me! She’s gone bucking crazy!”

But it was futile. This magic that Luna had released drowned out the outside world to both of them. The group that had formed at the door was still there, it was just that they could not see them now since they were engulfed in her dark magic.

“Help!!” he yelled again as he looked around but there was nothing but the goddess and this darkness she had created.

“SILENCE!” Luna yelled as she turned to her prey, “NO PONY SHALL HELP THEE NOW! IT IS ONLY US!

“What the hell you want?!” Speedy cried as Luna walked over to him.

The alicorn’s mind was hazy and burning with terrible thoughts and the image of Derpy crying and her bruised leg...it had control of her.

This wasn’t the gamer Luna that some knew her by.This was something completely different. This was darkness incarnate.

This was Luna’s wrath.

Her horn lit up once again and engulfed the stallion in her magic and slammed him against the dark wall, making him let out a loud grunt from the sheer force of her slam.

“Derpy Hooves! Why did you fire her?!!

“You mean that retard bitch?!!” Speedy answered, but not the answer that Luna wanted to hear and only sent her rage to undescribable levels.

“THOU WILL NOT CALL HER THAT!”

She brought the stallion towards her with her magic at a fast speed and just before he was muzzle to muzzle with the goddess, she swung her silver hoof across his face and sent the stallion rolling onto the black floor as he cried out in pain.

“NOW ANSWER OUR QUESTION! Why did you FIRE HER?!!” Luna roared, sending the bass of her voice right through the pony that cowered before her.

“She was late! She was always late with her deliveries and I was losing bits! She was a burden!” Speedy cried as tears now began to roll down his cheeks from sheer fear.

This was still not the answer Luna desired but no answer would suffice. There wa no good reason for her that could explain why Derpy had to be fired.

Luna grabbed the stallion with her magic once more by his neck and lifted him into the air.

“So this was about MONEY?! You fire my friend over MONEY and then you dare call her a retard and bitch to her!?? What gives you that right?!!!”

“I never said any of that, I swear!”

“LIAR!”

Her magic tightened around the Speedy’s throat and he threw his forehooves up to his neck as he began to gag for air.

“Say that you did! You called OUR mare a retard and bitch, didn’t you!? Say it before we break your pathetic neck!”

“Yes!” he coughed, “I did! I called her a stupid bitch, cunt, retard, I did it all!,” he admitted as he coughed more and his face began to turn a slight purple.

Luna let her release go and let him drop to the black floor, letting him gasp for air.

Luna...you need to stop. You’re going too far. What if Derpy see’s this?

Her inner voice in her head wasn’t heard though. She needed to hurt him, scar him for life so he would never do what he had done to Derpy again...if he even lived that long.

“You have no right to call her or anypony that! She was your best employee and you dare fire her and call her names! Tell us, who’s the bitch now?!”

“I’m sorry! I promise I will never call her or anypony names again! I’ll even hire her again, just please stop!” Speedy begged as he struggled to lift himself from the floor.

But she couldn't stop...not yet.

“No! We are not done! You also HIT HER! YOU HIT MY FRIEND! YOU MADE HER CRY AND NOW I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THE SAME PAIN SHE FELT!”

Luna...you have to stop...

“What are you going to do to me?!” Speedy Delivery asked, fearing what she could do to him but she had the perfect plan.

Luna smiled wickedly and lifted him by her magic and brought him face to face with her burning white eyes.

“Ponies fear me because of what I was before but you...you're going to learn why they do.”

Luna’s body began to change in front of the stallion. Her horn grew a bit longer and turned black. Her eyes went from teal pupils to slits like a snake and her regalia changed along with a helmet appearing on her head. Her coat became black and her now darker form was present.

“N..Nightmare Moon! You’re s..still Nightmare Moon!”

“Now...,” Luna began, taking on her appearance as her darker side, “...tell me, do you have a wife by any chance?”

Speedy looked at her with confusion, not knowing where this angered goddess was taking this.

“What are you talking-!?

“ANSWER ME!”

“Yes! Yes I have a wife!” he quickly answered as he levitated in mid-air before with her by her magic.

“Good.”

As if on cue, a pair of sharp, long scissors appeared between them along with a jar and scalpel.

The brown stallion’s eyes went larger than ever before and he knew exactly what she was planning to do and why she had asked him that question.

“You’re going to cut my balls off?!” he blurted.

The alicorn chuckled darkly.

“I’m going to make sure that you know how Derpy felt when you called her names and hit her. I had to see her...broken and sad. Now I’m going to break you...

“Wait! WAIT!” Speedy cried, “I’ll give her her job back, pay her more, even make her a supervisor! I promise that none of this will ever happen again! I promise!”

Luna...think of Derpy...if she see’s you doing this and the way you are now...

Again, the voice’s reason fell on deaf ears. Luna was lost in her own anger and retribution.

She flipped the stallion upside down and spread his hind legs to reveal the equipment.

“NO! Please!”

“Too late for that Speedy Delivery. You hurt my friend and in turn have hurt me...now it’s your turn. You brought this shitstorm on yourself.”

She took the scissors and scalpel and readied them for a swift and quick emergency vasectomy.

“You will NEVER make her cry AGAIN!”

And with that, all that was heard was one sound.

Snip.

[I wonder if I went too far this time...oh well ;)]

Level 11 Part 2

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 11

Part 2

To Defend A Sister

Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia appeared with a bright yellow flash of light. The carpeted floor of Celestia’s chambers was now replaced by white fluffy clouds and the walls that had surrounded them but a few seconds ago were now gone with only the sky as their roof. Now of course Celestia had no problem walking on clouds and as for her student; she already knew that Twilight had put her spell on.

Cloudsdale...certainly has been awhile since I been here.

It certainly has.

The last time Celestia could recall ever being within the cloud city was during the Young Flyers Competition where she had witnessed Twilight’s friend, Rainbow Dash, perform a Sonic Rainboom. She could’ve sworn though that she had been here before sometime after that but the only remnant of that memory was cider and waking up to three mares and two stallions in her chamber bed.

“There’s the post office,” Twilight said as she pointed her hoof towards it, “The text said that she was in trouble here...but I don’t see her anywhere.”

Princess Celestia scanned the area around the establishment, looking for the sign of her sisters spectral mane.

I swear Luna...if this is over a game...

During the few seconds that Twilight and her had taken to transport over to Cloudsdale, Celestia’s mind had ran the numerous things that Luna could’ve gotten herself into. She considered the possibility that some new game had came out and was supposed to be delivered to her and it was just late. With Luna being the hardcore gamer she was, it wasn’t far-fetched to think her sister had simply come to the office to find out about it and lose her temper.

There was also the other possibility that ran in her head that this text that was sent by some unknown pony...or whatever it was...was simply some kind of joke that was being played. Regardless, she didn’t want to just assume that it was. If Luna was really in trouble then she needed to know or risk listening about how Luna did this and that on T.V. while she watched her Pony Co-Ed Confidential.

“Wait..” Twilight began as she began to squint her eyes to see the entrance to the office better, “Is that Derpy?”

Celestia quickly brought her attention to the entrance and noticed the blonde mare standing over a white mare and they were muzzle to muzzle.

Hmmm...wonder what she’s doing.

Celestia knew that this was Derpy’s workplace but she could see that the mailmare’s face was a mix of worry and confusion while the white mare’s was in complete terror. Her and Twilight simply watched a few moments, curious to what was going on. It was only a few seconds that went by until she saw Derpy lift her head and her face changed now into just complete fear. Then the mare simply bolted and went into the office.

Are you in there Luna? Why would your little friend look so worried?

Celestia couldn’t say that she knew Derpy inside and out like her sister did but she know enough that Derpy did care for Luna....more than Luna could see. If her sister was here and for Derpy to look that worried and frightened, the regal could only assume that her earlier thought about this being over some type of video game could be thrown out.

But she wasn’t one to go into something without being informed. Intel was always good to have to try and figure out what could be going on and the panicked pegasi that were flying out of the office was a good place to start.

“Twilight,” Celestia said.

“Yes?”

“Go and see if you can get some information from one of these ponies before they take off to their homes. I would like to know what’s going on here first before we do anything.”

Twilight nodded, obedient as ever to her mentor.

“I’m on it princess.”

The unicorn trotted off to perform her task and though the princess had the urge to take her wandering eyes to Twilight and gaze upon her student, she kept in mind that her sister might need her help...and quick by the way things were looking and she needed to also do the same.

That mare....the one that Derpy seem to speaking to.

Princess Celestia looked back over to the entrance to see if that mare was still there. Fortunately, the white pegasus was only about to take off into the air. With quickness and precision, Celestia’s white horn lit up and her whole body disappeared and within milliseconds she reappeared in front of the white mare.

“Gah!” the mail clerk cried as she fell back on her haunches.

“Hello my loyal subject,” Princess Celestia began with an innocent smile on her face.

“ Oh my gosh! P..princess Celestia!” The mail clerk quickly got up and bowed before her.

“There is no need for that,” Celestia said in a gentle tone, “ I’m here to just ask you a simple question about what’s going on here as it has been brought to my attention that there had been a possible... incident.”

More like Luna bucking up my plans with my student....

The mare looked up to the alicorn.

“Anything you want to know Princess Celestia, I’ll answer the best I can. I just want to get out of here and go home,” the mare said shakily but still trying to be polite as possible to her ruler.

Celestia’s curiosity started to run rampant with the question of what in the hay her sister had done to cause such pandemonium? Luna had a history of having a short temper but usually kept in it check. Did she finally lose it or something?

“Of course. I’ll make this quick then. All I want to know was what you were discussing with the grey mare that you were speaking to earlier a few moments ago.”

The mail clerk shifted her eyes, hesitant to say what it was. It seemed Celestia was going to have to encourage her a bit so she could get some info.

“Don’t worry if it’s about Princess Luna. I already have an idea it has something to do with her. Now please, go on and tell me what you two were discussing.”

It seemed this approval from Celestia worked, as the mail clerk basically spewed out the information that this monarch wanted.

“She’s Princess Luna’s friend! They both came in because she lost her job and wanted to talk to Speedy-”

Celestia raised her golden hoof, instantly silencing the mare.

“You said she lost her job? You mean the grey mare?”

“Yeah! The pony with the blonde mane and crossed eyes!”

Lost her job? How could Derpy lose her job?

This was now becoming a bit more interesting now. So Luna came here on the behalf of her friend because she lost her job. That still didn’t explain all the panic though. So what if Luna and Derpy were at the office because the pegasus lost her job?

“Okay. Now please continue,” Celestia said in all her calmness and regality.

“Okay...um...Princess Luna wanted to speak to Speedy Delivery- he’s our boss- and so I took them in the back and went in to talk to Mr. Delivery and tell him that Princess Luna wanted to speak to him...” the mail clerk trailed off.

Celestia raised her brow a bit.

“Did Princess Luna do something to this Speedy Delivery?”

The mail clerk hastily nodded.

“She went crazy!” the clerk blurted.

“Excuse me?” Celestia said with a slight firmness in her voice and the mare quickly re-worded her sentence.

“I mean....Princess Luna became...very angry with Mr. Delivery to say the least.”

“How so?”

“I’m not entirely sure,” the white pegasus said as she slightly fluttered her wings. A sign of obvious nervousness.

“ I know she was very livid with him and yelled at me to leave. Then she covered herself with some black smoke and me and a bunch others heard him scream for help and then...Nightmare Moon.”

Oh no...she really did snap this time.

It seemed Luna’s quick temper had gotten the best of her. Now the regal saw why there was so panic and fright. Of course she knew better than to believe that Nightmare Moon had really returned but any other pony wouldn’t no better. Luna still had the ability to take on her darker ego’s appearance but the influence that Nightmare Moon had was long gone, thanks to the Elements of Harmony. Regardless, Celestia couldn't deny that she was more than concerned for Luna;she was very concerned.

What could possibly make you that angry Luna?

Celestia recalled the details that were told to her. Derpy losing her job, Luna coming with Derpy to the office to speak to her boss....

Derpy losing her job...did she lose it over that?

“Um Princess Celestia? May I go on home now? I rather not stay here.”

Celestia brought her attention back to the mail clerk.

“Of course. I won’t take anymore of your time and I thank you for it. I will handle my sister and I promise that this will be all sorted out.”

The mail clerk nodded and unfurled her wings and flew off with haste. Celestia simply watched as the pegasus flew off into the sky.

I will have to reward her later for her help...maybe this Sunday.

“Princess!”

Celestia turned to see her treasured lavender unicorn trotting to her. The mare caught up to her princess and gasped for air as she tried to explain what she had been told.

“Princess Luna,” she breathed, “Ponies are saying that she turned back into Nightmare Moon and was doing something to a pony named Speedy Delivery! We have to go in there and stop her!

“Calm yourself Twilight,” Celestia answered the now frantic student, “I think Luna has simply gotten a little upset. Nothing to worry about,” the alicorns said in a casual tone.

“Upset? But why and how could Nightmare Moon-”

Celestia couldn’t help but chuckle openly at her student, her nature of taking things so seriously being a bit amusing.

“What’s so funny princess?”

“You worry about my sister too much Twilight. Believe me, if I thought that Luna was Nightmare Moon again-”

I would definitely tap that...

“...I would have had you get your friends and use the elements again.”

Twilight was obviously a bit confused. She didn’t understand why Celestia wasn’t as worried as she was. Wasn’t the return of Nightmare Moon something that she, of all ponies, be more than worried about? She had to banish her own sister for it last time.

“But she’s your sister princess. If she’s Nightmare Moon again, doesn't that mean...?”

Celestia shook her head.

“My sister has a short temper my dear student. She can get very intense when somepony brings about her anger. I myself have gotten her very angry at times but she won’t ever try to hurt somepony. She still has the ability of changing into Nightmare Moon but as for her actually being Nightmare, the elements have taken care of that.”

Twilight suddenly recalled her time with Luna during Nightmare Night. Luna still had the ability to take on Nightmare Moon’s appearance as she did to scare the children but she was still the socially awkward Princess of the Night.

“Like she did on Nightmare Night. She can change her form at will then?”

“Now you’re getting it. Now, how about you tell me what you found out?”

Twilight began without pause.

“Apparently ponies were telling me that Luna was with a grey mare, which I assume was Derpy after the way they described her, and that all they heard was some stallion screaming for help and saw Luna with him. Then one stallion I asked before he took off was that there was some black smoke or something of the sort and they heard Nightmare Moon speak. That’s as much as I got.”

So the information is consistent. You must’ve really bucked up this time Luna.

Princess Celestia was now satisfied. The information was matching up and it seemed this eerie text that her student had received was right. In the long time of being a ruler, Celestia learned that knowing something before you get into it was invaluable. The last thing that anypony wanted was to walk into something they really had no clue about...the same could not be said though for some of her ‘choice’ subjects who learn too late what they had gotten into by the time they walk into her chambers. Well, except for Twilight. She wasn’t just another one of her subjects she ruled over.

“Well then, I think it’s time we end this little fiasco of Luna’s and get back home.”

Twilight agreed.

“What would you have me do then princess?”

Celestia smiled, her student always trying to be as helpful as ever. She could only wish that Twilight was willing to help her another way but maybe in time...however long that would be...she would.

“Just stay by my side. This shouldn’t take too...”

She trailed off, her eye catching something in the sky. Actually, it caught several things in the sky.

Twilight took notice of her mentor and looked up also to see what looked like a miniature armada of pegasi that were wearing uniforms and heading straight for the post office.

“Who the hay are those guys?” she asked.

Celestia couldn’t put her hoof on it but those uniformed pegasi looked familiar. Then again, she loved a pony in uniform and maybe they looked familiar from one of her late night rendezvous in the past.

But one thing was certain.

They all looked way too formal and serious to know that they weren’t simply coming to the post office to get some packages or what not.

“We better get in there and get Luna and her friend,” Celestia answered, “Because I don’t think those ponies are here to pick up mail.”

****

Fast forward to the present....

The uniformed pegasus stallions slowly closed in on Derpy Hooves and Princess Luna. Derpy stood her ground but the mare really had no chance against all of them. Swiftwind simply stood and watched as his comrades carried out his order.

I really screwed up this time...damn my short temper! Now I got Derpy involved in this and they’re going to throw us both in the slammer!

Luna was now really hating that small quality now. She had always been so careful to keep it in check and she thought she had done so well doing so. Being Derpy’s friend tested that very quality. It was no secret that this mare who now stood before her, ready to fight for her, was one that required a lot of patience and understanding. Derpy was clumsy sometimes and there had been countless times where Luna had to replace some things, like her computer for example, because of the pegasus. It frustrated her sometimes but she could never be truly angry at her. Especially when she had those blonde crossed eyes of hers looking up into hers and apologizing over and over.

“I’m going to give you one last chance. Please step aside and let us aprrehend Princess Luna. I would have to take you along with her.”

Derpy scoffed at Swiftwing and unfurled her wings.

“Come on then. Send them all at me,” she said with undeterred confidence.

“Derpy stop!” Luna begged. She didn’t know what these guys were going to do and she was only instigating it.

“Fine then,” Swiftwind said and waved his hoof to signal his comrades to continued their enclosure.

“Stop!” a voice commanded.

Swiftwind along with his little squad and turned their head and grabbed the attention of Luna and Derpy, along with the crowd that was huddled at the broken doorway.

“Princess Celestia!” Swiftwind exclaimed.

Swiftwind and his companions immediately bowed along with the crowd of ponies and cleared a pathway for her and her student to walk through. Luna and Derpy’s eyes were wide with shock at the appearance of the regal.

“Tia?! What are you doing here??”

The white alicorn and Twilight trotted into the room that Luna had somewhat destroyed during her rampage.

“My student informed me that you got yourself in a bit of trouble here,” Celestia said gently but Luna caught a hint of displeasure underneath it.

Oh hay, she’s shitty with me.

Princess Luna knew know she really bucked up if even her own sister was somewhat ticked but she was sure happy to see her regardless...for once.

“How though?” Luna asked, keeping her thoughts to herself about Celestia’s displeasement.

Twilight smiled and magically had her phone appear in front of her.

“Somepony was kind enough to let us know that you were in a bit of trouble Princess Luna.”

“Yes and it seems they were right,” Celestia added on as she took in the room around her. She noticed the door lodged into the cloud wall and a pile of dust that sat at her golden hooves. The alicorn then looked over to Luna again.

“I’m assuming you did this?” Celestia asked with a raised brow.

Luna’s cheeks blushed from embarrassment, especially since they were in front of an audience, and she smiled sheepishly with a small squee sound.

“Heh...uh...yeah. I kind of...got a little angry..”

“I see then,” Celestia stated flatly, “We will have to discuss this when we get back to Canterlot Luna.”

Shit...

Celestia was a joker but Luna knew when she heard ‘We will have to discuss this’ she knew that she had really done something to get under her sisters fur. They were rare moments, as the white alicorn seemed to never take anything seriously, but when her sister got serious then everypony knew within the castle that somepony royally bucked up somehow someway.

Going to jail is sounding a bit better right now.

“Excuse me Princess Celestia.”

Celestia turned to the stallion that was still bowed before her. She began to note of his white and blue spiky mane and noticed the initials of CPGP. They looked oddly familiar to the sun goddess.

“You may rise my subject.”

Wow...she’s actually being formal.

Luna didn’t get to see this side of Celestia much and when she did it always baffled her how. Back in Canterlot she was just her sister, the prankster and promiscuous alicorn, but in public when dealing with matters, she was something else entirely. Her mind simply couldn’t comprehend how Celestia could switch her demeanor like that.

“Thank you princess,” Swiftwind said.

“Oh now you’re being all polite you jackass?!! You weren’t like that with Luna!” Derpy blurted in sudden anger making everypony in the room turn to her.

“Derpy!” Luna said as she pulled the mare’s tail with her magic and brought her to her side, “Tia’s here. Just let her handle this please,” the alicorn begged of her friend....but yet...she somehow like that her friend was so defensive of her.

Celestia smiled.

“Oh really now? Was he Derpy?”

“Yeah! He was going to lock Luna up just because she was getting on Speedy who was beating on me!”

Celestia raise now both brows in sudden shock and her smile instantly left.

“Beating on you?! You mean he was hitting you??” Twilight now asked, shocked herself of hearing this.

Derpy nodded but Luna was the one to answer.

“Yes but he’s gone now. I made sure of that.”

“What did you do Luna?” Celestia now asked, now completely disregarding what Swiftwind wanted to say.

Luna didn’t want to explain all this in front of an audience but seeing the circumstances and the shitstorm she had caused, it was probably best.

“I banished him. He will be gone from Equestria by tonight and I made clear to him to not return and that if he beat on another mare, I would personally deal with him.”

Celestia eyed her for a few moments and then looked down at Derpy who was taking deep breaths as her anger was still fresh within her. She then brought her attention to Swiftwind.

“Is this true? Were you planning to lock up Princess Luna for punishing a stallion beating on mare?”

“Not necessarily your highness,” the pegasus stated with unchanging poise, “She was under arrest for disturbing the peace, holding a pony against their will, and also the reports of Nightmare Moon returning. We came out to simply detain her and put her in holding until we found out what was really going and gain a grasp of the situation.”

“And who is ‘we’ and what gives you the authority to arrest my sister?”

Luna could tell her sister was now getting a bit pissed. It seemed that she wasn’t really taking this lightly which was all surprising to Luna. Her sister was actually defending her.

“We are the Cloudsdale Pegasus Patrol and our job is to uphold the laws within Cloudsdale and act in cases of emergency concerning the two regal sisters within the city limits...as you stated when you put us in place.”

“What??” Luna, Twilight, and Derpy gasped.

“Excuse me? I don’t recall ever establishing this.”

She really didn’t. The last time she had been in Cloudsdale was for the fliers competition to her knowledge. She couldn't bring up anytime that she had established this Cloudsdale patrol and especially for them to act and have authority over her and her sister.

“It was a couple years after the defeat of Nightmare Moon...”

Luna grimaced inside. She really didn’t want to recall all that.

“...you were requested by the Cloudsdale Committee to discuss safety and they expressed their concern about you and Princess Luna. They felt that in case another incident concerning...”

The pegausus shifted his eyes to Luna then back to Celestia.

“...Princess Luna should occur, or you by some rare chance, that there be some type of organization to be able to defend it. Thus, you gave the approval for the Cloudsdale Pegausus Patrol.”

“Are you serious?? Tia?” Luna said, not believing what she was hearing.

Celestia turned to her and gave her a look of ‘I have no bucking clue what he’s talking about.’ Though after such a look, it turned into one of sudden realization as Celestia eyes grew wider than globes and turned back to Swiftwind.

“Wait...was this committee made up of three mares and two stallions by any chance?”

Swiftwind nodded.

“Yes. The names are as follows your highness...” but Celestia didn’t pay attention as her memory was starting to come back to her.

Cider. Lots and lots of cider now flooded her mind. She had been to Cloudsdale to meet with the committee about their concern but she had decided to go do some binge drinkingbefore she went because some of her guards had challenged her that she couldn’t out drink any of them. Of course, they found out after vomiting their guts out that she could hold more than her own but even the goddess wasn’t immune to the power of hard liquor.

She figured she must’ve approved of this little patrol of theirs in her drunken state and then slept with the entire committee. Talking about establishing good political relations right?

“I see,” Celestia simply said but as with every law there was loophole, “So you say by my authority yes?”

“That is correct your highness. By law, I have to arrest Princess Luna I’m afraid and her friend for interfering.”

Celestia smiled with a mischievous gleam in her eye and looked over to Luna.

“It seems this stallion has a point Luna. By law, you have to be arrested.”

Luna’s mouth dropped along with Derpy’s. No words came out of Luna’s mouth as she couldn’t believe that her own sister would simply just let them arrest her and Derpy.

“Princess?? Luna’s your sister and you’re going to let them-” but Twilight was silenced by Celestia’s hoof to her mouth.

Twilight looked up to her mentor.

“Don’t worry Twilight,” Celestia whispered, “They’re not taking Luna.”

Celestia brought her attention to Swiftwind with her signature smile.

“Well I guess she will have to be arrested Swiftwind.”

“Of course Princess Celestia,” he turned to his small squad that were still in their bowing position, “Arrest Princess Luna and her friend and take them-”

“Wait.”

“Huh?”

“I never said that you would be arresting her Captain Swiftwind,” Celestia said with a small chuckle.

What?? Luna thought. Then who the hay was going to arrest them? Why was Celestia even letting this happen in the first place?

“E..excuse me Princess Celestia? What do you mean? What others have the authority to arrest her?”

Celestia was going to love this part.

“I am arresting Luna and her friend and will be taking them both to Canterlot with me so that they may be punished.”

Holy hay....

Derpy’s face from sheer shock turned into one giant smile and Luna could only put her hoof over her face. Celestia was just playing a small game with this prick of a stallion but she couldn’t but let a wide smile come across her face. Her sister wasn’t trying to throw her under the hay cart but she was just protecting her in her own way.

“What?? But-”

“But what captain?” Celestia said as she lowered her face to his, “Since I am the one who gave authority to your little group here to be able to detain my own sister, I think since I am the one who gave such authority, it only be right that I take her. She is my sister after all. Don’t worry though, I promise that she will be dealt with for punishing a stallion that was beating on a mare,” she said with sarcasm, clearly letting Swiftwind know that what he was trying to do only made him look like a complete douchebag.

Swiftwind’s face began to turn beat red.

“Of course Princess Celestia,” he said with gritted teeth, now realizing that he had simply been played.

Twilight, Derpy, and Luna chuckled a bit as they stood behind the white monarch. For once, Luna was enjoying the mind fuckery that Celestia was playing with this stallion.

“Douchebag,” Derpy whispered in delight and stuck her tongue out at him, making his face even more red.

“Now, as for you two,” Celestia began as she now brought her attention towards Derpy and Luna, “Luna, you will take Miss Hooves home so that she may watch her sister but I am forbidding her from leaving her home until I have dealt with her. Understand?” Celestia said, winking at the grey mare.

Luna simply nodded, trying to hold back another smile along with Derpy.

“Of course sister.”

“And you Luna, you will return to Canterlot and meet me in my chamber and speak about your punishment. Because you know, punishing one for beating on mare’s is not something I completely approve of,” the monarch said with another wink.

Luna nodded again but let that build up of a smile escape her.

“Okay Tia.”

“While you do that, I believe Mr. Swiftwind and I along with the Cloudsdale Committee have much to discuss about revising a certain law. Don’t you think captain?” she said as she turned back to him.

“Ooo, can I come with you princess?” Twilight asked, jumping on an opportunity to see politics in action.

“Of course my faithful student.”

“If that’s what you feel best...your highness,” Swiftwind answered reluctantly.

Ha! He’s shitty! Luna laughed in her head.

“Very good. Now, I would like for you to clear out all these ponies for me while I fix this office up.”

“As you command....”

Swiftwind rounded up his little squad and carried out Celestia’s orders, though it was obvious that he very much didn’t want to.

Celestia turned back around and smiled at Luna.
“So, you know you’re going to have to tell me all this when you get back to Canterlot, right Luna?”

Luna couldn’t help but chuckle. It was a wonder that only moments ago that she thought her and her friend were going to be locked up but Celestia came through. Luna never questioned if Celestia cared about her, as she really didn’t show it when she was always messing with her, but if Luna didn’t question it, this was proof right here that her sister did.

“Thank you Tia.” That’s all she could say. The dark alicorn couldn’t explain the feeling she had seeing her sister come to her defense along with Derpy.

“Don’t thank me yet little sister. Thanks to your little fiasco, you delayed my lessons with my student which I don’t take kindly of, so don’t think you’re off the hook just yet. I wasn’t kidding when I said you would be dealt with,” Celestia said with a sly grin.

Oh great....

Okay, maybe she assumed too much but regardless, Celestia did keep her from going to prison but now she was a bit worried what her sister had in store for her;possibly much worse than jail.

“Uhhh...yeah...of course Tia...sorry.”

“Now go and take Miss Hooves home and I’ll meet you back in Canterlot.”

Luna nodded her head and looked over to Derpy who now had a giant smile on her face, one of happiness and relief.

“Ready to go home my friend?”

Derpy looked up to her with her crossed eyes.

“Yeah...cause you know...I’m now on house arrest and everything now,” she said with a laugh.

Celestia, Twilight, and Luna couldn’t help laugh a bit from her small joke but Luna was more than ready to leave this place. Home was sounding pretty good right now anyways.

“Alright. Let’s get you back to Ponyville.”

Celestia turned to Twilight.

“Twilight? Care to help me get this place cleaned up?”

Twilight nodded happily.

“Of course princess.”

So with nothing else to do, Luna and Derpy made their way to the doorway while Celestia and Twilight began to clean up the office with their magic. Luna passed by Celestia who she saw was looking at her out of the corner of her eye.

“Thanks Tia,” she whispered as she passed by her and left with her friend.

Celestia didn’t turn her head and waited until Luna and Derpy were completely gone from the office and she whispered her answer as she began to rebuild the desk that had been turned to dust.

“No problem little sister.”

***

“I’m sorry for all this Derpy,” Luna apologized for the hundredth time as the two stood outside the muffin mare’s home, “I didn’t mean to go and make a giant scene up there and all that stuff.”

“It’s okay Luna,” Derpy laughed as she tried to quell the princess’ worry, “It was actually a bit exciting after you get past the bit of you going completely badass on Speedy.”

“Heh...yeah..that,” Luna laughed coyly.

“So how many ponies will be thinking twice before they mess with you?” Derpy asked jokingly.

“I don’t think many after today’s events,” Luna replied.

“Yeah, no kidding. I’m just glad Speedy’s gone now and I can get working again...thanks to you.”

Luna laughed a bit more and felt her face heat up a bit.

“Well he was a complete asshole and you could do a much better job than him. Who better to run the post office than the very mailmare dedicated to it right?”

They both laughed together at Luna’s compliment but it didn’t last long as they both knew that they could go all day discussing Speedy and how much of a complete dick he was.

“Well I better get inside. I’m sure Dinky’s been probably wondering where I been and you know...house arrest,” Derpy said with a wink.

“Tia really came through for us didn’t she?” Luna said as she thought about her sister. She just couldn’t wrap around how Celestia had did it but it made her feel...loved. Celestia had came out all the way to Canterlot just to come get her when she was probably doing something much more important. She did mention lessons with her student, which was definitely questionable as to what kind of lesson they were, but it didn’t change the fact that her sister still came(get your head out of the gutter).

“Yeah. Did you see how mad she got Swiftwind? He looked like his head was going to explode.”

“Yeah...about that. I want to thank you for standing up for me Derpy even when I told you not to. I don’t think any friend I ever had would do something like that, well, except you.”

Derpy smiled sheepishly, her cheeks blushing a bit.

“Don’t mention it. I didn’t think it was right that they try to arrest simply because you were giving what Speedy deserved...”

You have no idea Derpy...

Luna still hadn’t divulged what she originally planned to do to the stallion but she figured she didn’t need to. Derpy had been through enough today and she didn’t need to know how she was going to make Speedy into a mare with a scalpel and scissors.

“Well still, thank you.”

Luna wrapped her forearm around the grey mare and brought her in for a warm hug and Derpy returned it gladly. Luna couldn’t ask for a better friend and though today had started out as crap for the both of them, here they were in the end with smiles on their face and their friendship deepened.

[Music because music.]

The alicorn was about to break the hug so she could let her friend get about her day and relax but Derpy suddenly caught off her guard. Just before she could let her friend go, Derpy turned her face and kissed Luna’s cheek.

Immediately the alicorn’s heart raced in her chest and she felt her whole body had just turned into some type of feather or cloud.

S...she...kissed my cheek...

They both broke from each other’s embrace and looked at each other with extremely red faces, with Derpy smiling nervously. Luna brought her hoof to where her friend had placed that tender kiss on her face and could only stare at the blond pony.
“W..what was that for?” Luna stuttered, not able to control how her body was feeling so wonderful now.

“That was for everything today,” Derpy replied as she nervously kicked the dirt underneath her hooves a bit.

“What you did meant a lot to me Luna.”

I feel so...good? Why am I feeling like this?

“I..uhh...” she didn’t know what to say. What could she say? This was so unexpected but yet so welcomed at the same time.

“No problem,” Luna said as she tried to regain herself, as difficult as this was now.

“I...uhh...better get inside and tend to Dinky...make dinner...heh.”

“Yes! Of course my friend...you go and do that. I should...uh...get back to Canterlot.”

I’m so nervous! I feel like my legs are going to give out!

“Okay Luna,” Derpy said with her flushed face and coy smile, “Soooo I will see you this Saturday?”

Luna nodded her furiously.

“Yes! I’m looking forward to it.”

Stop being awkward Luna! Stop it! She kissed your cheek! Your FRIEND....but I feel so...elated.

Derpy laughed a bit and nodded her head as she turned to her door and began to open it. She turned back to Luna one last time before going inside.

“Bye Luna and uhhh, thanks again...for everything.”

Luna simply stared at the blonde mare. She had the sudden and strong urge to just pull Derpy back into her embrace and make out with this mare. The images of such lovely bliss began to protrude her mind but she kept her body in control and replied with her goodbye.

“No problem...Derpy. I will talk to you...later.”

Derpy nodded with a wide smile and entered her home and closed the door behind her while Luna now simply stood outside of it.

I...I need to get back to Canterlot and speak with my sis-DAMN I FEEL GOOD!

Luna turned away from Derpy’s home and began walking. This high that had overtaken her body was filling her to the brim and that nervousness and shock that had taken over her moments ago was now being replaced with raw happiness...and she didn’t know why. All she knew that that small kiss on her cheek sent her to such levels she couldn’t describe.

Losing control of it, a grin, one that could rival the one of a certain pink party pony, spread across her face.

This day had began with sadness of her friend and only got worse with her losing her temper and almost getting them both arrested. Yet, Celestia came to her aid and now the best part, Derpy kissed her cheek.

Should she have expected any different from her actions this day?

Probably not..

One thing was certain though.

Princess Luna didn’t expect any of this....and she loved it.

Level 12

Level 12

“No Good Deed Goes Unpunished...Little Sister”

Late that night...

Princess Luna sat on the silk sheets of her sisters bed as she patiently waited for her sister to return to Canterlot and discuss whatever ‘punishment’ her sister had in store for her. Actually, she knew that Celestia wasn’t really serious about actually disciplining her. She figured it was just a joke and just to piss off that prick, Swiftwind.

Nevertheless, Luna couldn’t care how long her sister took. Her mind was in it’s own world of euphoria as it couldn’t release the earlier moment of Derpy kissing her cheek.

What was it about such a simple and genuine action that sent this alicorn into such excitement and nervousness? This was a question that repeated in her mind as she tried to figure it out but only one voice, the voice of Cadence, answered her.

I think you're falling in love Luna.

Luna blinked a few times as she tried to comprehend such an answer, though she had heard it more times than she could count. It was something about this reply within her mentality that confused her; baffled her.

I can’t actually be IN love with her. I love her as a friend...nothing more.

She said this but yet it felt hollow. It felt almost painful, leaving a small sting in her chest, to say such words but why now? Why was all this happening now and not earlier? Before she could talk and hug Derpy with no problem at all but ever since last week, it seemed everything just turned upside down for her.

Such simple gestures were now difficult. She couldn’t hug her own friend without blushing. She couldn’t look at Derpy without having her eyes traveling to her supple flanks. She couldn’t even now keep simple thoughts about the pegasus from becoming into make- out sessions and more.

But this kiss...this kiss...something about it lit such an intense feeling within her that her mind would not grant her release from it. Even now as she now laid on her sister’s silken sheets, sheets mind you that she feared of even being near for obvious reasons, she could still feel the gentle touch of the mail mare's lips upon her face.

But what if I am? What if I actually do have the hots for Derpy?

Her mind travelled back to her small talk with Cadence. She said that she was falling for Derpy but how could she even determine that? Yes, love might have been her domain but she wasn’t her. Then again, Luna didn’t know how love felt or maybe...she refused to see it?

Maybe...maybe I need to talk to her again? Wait....

She now thought about if she talked to Cadence about her feelings and the things that have invaded her mind about the blonde mare....and her sister. It was no secret that Cadence and Celestia talked to each other, maybe even more than Celestia and her, and she could only imagine if somehow Cadence told her sister about such feelings if she chose to divulge them to her.

She won’t tell if I tell her not to.

But was that really possible? If Celestia even caught a whiff of Cadence keeping something from her, she would surely find out somehow. Celestia had a way of finding out things. It’s what she did. One could go to Tartarus and lock their secret away and as soon as they are about to lock it up and leave it there forever, Celestia would be the type to already be standing and waiting for you before you could even get there.

Buck that...

You should talk to Perro. He talks about love and all that other sentimental crap...

Luna’s eyes went wide as she suddenly remembered what Vinyl had told her. Her DJ stallion friend that they had met over Live last Saturday night.

I can talk to him. He doesn't know me that well and my sister has no clue about him...Yes! It’s perfect!

Luna’s horn lit up and summoned her phone to her and put in a little digital note to get a hold of Perro by tomorrow. He might be able to figure this out and really tell if she was actually in love with Derpy.

But then what? What if she came to the realization that she might be? What would she do from there? Stay silent about it or profess her love to the mare? What would Derpy do if she went and did something like that?

Maybe her bed... or your bed...how does that sound Luna?

Luna brought her hoof over to the place that Derpy had landed that small peck and gently caressed it. The prospect of her going to Derpy’s bed sounded...good. Her mind began to wander off as her imagination began to take her.

She saw herself with Derpy as they both were on the mailmare’s bed. Derpy was on top of her and looking lovingly into her eyes; their muzzles close enough to feel the hot air from their breath. Slowly Derpy lowered her face and lips until they gently pressed against her dark ones. They were soft, gentle, inviting. She returned her friend’s kiss and pressed more against such a wonderful mouth. But this wasn’t good enough...the dark princess desired more from her. Like some type of force taking over, Luna gently brushed the pegasus’ lips with her tongue and Derpy gladly obliged and allowed access....

She was lost. Reality of the outside world was gone and she didn’t even know that her body was squirming slightly in the sheets as this wonderful mental reality took her over. Even worse, her hoof that was on her face was slowly trailing down her chest and making it’s way down to her stomach.

Their tongues entangled, wrestled for dominance. The sweet taste of Derpy’s wet appendage and saliva was mind numbing. How could a mare have such a decadent flavor? Was it all the muffins she baked and ate? Whatever it was, it didn’t matter to Luna. All that mattered was this mare on top of her, chest to chest, mouth to mouth. She wrapped her foreleg around the back of Derpy’s head and brought her in for even more forceful, lustful tongue play. This heat within her equine body was overwhelming and primal hunger took her.

It was too much. Luna was too lost in this fantasy and as she would usually break herself around this part, that kiss that Derpy had gave her prevented it. She wanted to see it. She wanted to feel it. Luna wanted this fantasy to go all the way...she needed it to go all the way. The burning fire in her demanded it and her hoof was going to quell it as it went lower past her stomach.

After what seemed like blissful eternity, the two mares with heated faces finally broke their lustful kiss with only a bridge of saliva connecting them.

“I wanted this for so long Luna,” Derpy told her as she felt the small mare’s chest heave in and out in deep breath.

“Me too,” she replied.

She watched as the crossed eyes of the mare began to look down her dark sapphire body and Luna knew what this mare now desired from her.

“Do it,” Luna simply said.
Derpy smiled softly and brought her mouth close to Luna’s ear.

“I love you Luna. I’m going to make you feel like the goddess that you are.”

Luna’s heart pounded in her chest and her whole body now ached for the mare to take her; take her to heights that was even beyond her reach. With no more hesitation or delay, slowly Derpy began to descend lower and lower on the princess until...

Luna gasped.

***

An hour later....

Her chest heaved. Her heart pounded. Sweat ran down her face and her tongue hung out of her mouth. No words could describe the high her body was going through right now. She felt lighter than air and her mind was just now only coming back to its senses from its euphoric state.

For the first time ever in her long life, Luna had committed an act she never thought she would do.

I...I...played with myself.

Her mind repeated it but she didn’t need it to. Her body made it very apparent what she had just done as it twitched and tingled. Unfortunately, her brain was catching up and finally beginning to become rational again.

I played with myself...to my friend...in her name...to Derpy.

The ecstasy that had hold of Luna’s body was fading and the more that left, the more of the realization of what she had just done began to set in.

I masterbated...I...on Celestia’s bed...OH SHIT!

Luna shot up like a rocket as she now remembered where the hell she was at. Her head dashed left to right, looking for any signs of a white alicorn. Hell with the fact that she had just masterbated to her friend. She was now extremely worried that she hadn’t notice her sister return during her little ‘session’ and Celestia was simply watching her.

Please don’t be here!

She hopped off the bed and bent down and looked under it. She couldn’t take any chances with her sister.

Nothing...

She brought herself back up and let out a long sigh of relief but it was short lived and her eyes went wide.

She gazed upon Celestia’s silk sheets and where she had been laying. They were ruffled and the pillows were strewn across it but this wasn’t what now put the regal in sudden terror. Right where she had been laying and performing such a dirty activity was a giant wet blotch that went right through the sheets...thanks to her.

“Shit!” she cried.

I wasn’t supposed to do that! I don’t do that stuff! Especially thinking of a friend that way! What the hay!

“I got to get rid of this! Celestia will have a field day with me if she sees this!”

Now any other normal sister would be appalled if they came to their room one night to be welcomed to some giant wet spot on their bed due to the other sister’s indulgence in their own fantasy but Celestia was everything but normal.

“What do I do?!”

Her mind raced. She had to get rid of these sheets but where? There was no way she was going to go out and take them to the Royal Laundry Room. The last thing she needed was some guard coming by her and noticing her carrying wet sheets but what else could she do? She looked over to the fireplace that crackled and popped constantly.

“I can’t burn them...she will notice that sheets are missing. Damnit think!” she said as she pounded her hoof on her head.

Then the most brilliant idea came to her.

“Under the bed! Yes!”

Okay, maybe not the most brilliant idea but it was something. She would hide them under the bed and just put new sheets onto her sister’s bed, as Celestia always kept all her extra pairs of sheets in her night drawers. So what of the sheets that she was going to put in such an obvious hiding spot?

She figured that Celestia would find them but think that maybe she just simply put them there on her own accord after one of her banging orgy’s or something. It wasn’t like Celestia hasn’t put things in weird places before (Yeah, I know what you’re thinking).

With haste, Luna took hold of the sheets with her magic and scrunched them into a ball as hard as she could and launched it right under Celestia’s bed. Then she went over to one of the oak drawers next to the bed and pulled one of them open to reveal fresh silken sheets.

“Thank my stars,” she said, grateful that there were spares.

With swiftness and precision, the dark regal re-made her sisters bed to almost exactly the way she found it. She carefully fluffed the pillows and set them together.

I freaking got off by touching myself! her mind screamed as she did her hasty work, To Derpy! Sweet Discord,I’m becoming like my sister! I got off to my FRIEND!”

She couldn’t comprehend what she had just done. How could she have let her mind take her to such a dirty place and lose control of her own body?? Never, EVER, has she been taken that far by her imagination where it took control of her very actions...and to actually do that to herself!

I’m not in love with her! I’m not in love with her! Only ponies who are in love do that! I’m not!

She repeated it over and over in her head, scorning herself for engaging and indulging in her sinful desire.

Luna straightened out the new sheets and quickly looked over her work. There were some wrinkles and such but not enough to tell that she had completely replaced them.

Granted, this was probably a bit overboard but Luna couldn't risk anything with Celestia. Even though she had seen the side of Celestia that was actually serious and protecting earlier today didn’t mean that her perverted side had simply disappeared either.

She scanned the bed one last time and now the area around it to make sure nothing could give any indication that she was clopping.

Everything looks normal...thank Equestria Celestia is taking her time-

“Admiring my bed are we Luna?”

Luna instantly spun around with the widest, cheesy smile that anypony had probably seen. Her body turned into dead ice.

Bucking hell Tia! Stop popping up like this!

“Oh...heh...yes. I couldn’t help but admire your lovely...sheets,” Luna said as beads of sweat begun to form on her head.

Please....please tell me she didn’t see me...rather be stuck on the moon than her knowing what I did.

“I can’t really blame you for that Luna. Many ponies admire my sheets and the activities that take place upon them.”

Like you clopping on them Luna.

For once, Luna didn’t find herself feeling uncomfortable from her sister’s remark. She was too worried to really care at this point.

“Oh yes! I’m sure they do Tia...so ummm...when did you get here? I didn’t hear you come in or anything.”

She had to know. As much as she feared the answer, she had to know if Celestia somehow was hiding and just playing with her mind.

“I just got here actually. The Cloudsdale Committee needed some...persuading...before we could make any changes to that little law. Then I had to take my student home so she could attend to her assistant and friends. Why do you ask? Were you getting that impatient for me dear sister?” Celestia said as she raised her brow a bit.

Luna shook her head.

“Nope! Just waiting here for you...not doing anything...just waiting and now you’re here,” Luna said as more beads of sweat formed across her brow, “So what was it you wanted to talk about Tia?”

She figured that changing the subject would somehow confirm if Celestia knew about her little earlier activity. Surely if Celestia knew about her committing such an act, she wouldn’t simply let the subject change and try to give her hidden hints that she knew.

“I wanted to talk about your little scene back at Cloudsdale Luna,” Celestia said in dead seriousness.

She doesn't know that I...did that.

Well that was one relief that she could have. She let her mind release such worry and her body relaxed to a point. Now she had to deal with what her sister had in store for her.

“I’m sorry Tia. I shouldn’t have let my temper-” but she was silenced with her sister’s hoof.

“That’s not what I’m upset about. What you did to stallion was justifiable, though I can’t say I would’ve done the same. In all honesty, I think you let him get off too easy but yet I feel that wasn’t your original plan now was it?”

Like how you got off to Derpy....

Luna’s cheeks began to flare as her own mind now began to torture her but she kept her bearing.

“Well...no.”

“Well c'mon,” Celestia laughed a bit, seeing that she couldn’t keep her own serious face for but a few seconds, “Give me details. Tell me what you wanted to do to him.”

The white alicorn plopped her rump and looked up to Luna like some type of foal waiting for story time.

“I was going to chop his balls off, seeing that beating on mares was a cowardly-”

“Cut the bullshit Luna,” Celestia interrupted,”You can’t honestly tell me that you wanted to do that because of some type of moral?”

Luna looked at her sister in confusion.

“What do you mean? Why else would I want to, besides the fact that he utterly pissed me off?”

“You did it for your little friend. Tell me, what did you feel as soon as she told you what was being done to her? Fury? Rage?”

Celestia was right. Luna couldn’t really describe the rollercoaster of emotions but fury and rage would be a good place to start.

“I...I don’t know. Never before had I gotten so angry over something to the point of...” she trailed off as she recalled her transformation into Nightmare Moon.

“Well regardless my dear little sister, I think what you did was called for and that Speedy fellow deserved every bit of his punishment and even a bit more. I have only one problem with this however.”

Luna readied herself for what her sister was going to say. It seemed she approved of what she did, so why was Celestia saying she had a problem with it? Now that she thought about it, why was she here in the first place if Celestia wholeheartedly agreed with what she did, even venturing to say she didn’t do enough to Speedy.

“And what would that be?” Luna asked with curiosity.

Celestia rose up and in some type of foolish whining and with a stomp of her hoof, she replied.

“You ruined my chance with Twilight! I was sooo close too!”

“Huh??”

This was not what she was expecting. She was thinking that she was going to be scorned for destroying property or something of the sort. Basically something that actually had to do with her whole scene from earlier today.

“You ruined my chance with Twilight! I was soo close to rutting that sexy rump of hers and then here you go and get into some trouble! You basically beaver dammed me Luna!” Celestia said as she stomped her hoof in frustration more.

Luna could only bring her hoof to her face and shake her head. Her earlier worries were now completely wiped away seeing that her sister was too preoccupied with this ‘loss’ of hers.

“Tia...really? This is what you wanted to talk to me about? Just because you lost out on your students ass???”

Celestia nodded with no shame.

“Yes! Don’t you see the issue here?? I was planning on finally showing my student the wonders of the body and even tell her how I felt about that bum of hers and then next thing you know, I’m in Cloudsdale instead of having wet, messy endings!”

Is she...getting upset?

Luna was gradually taking notice of Celestia’s tone of voice. It was becoming more and more agitated and even angry. Was Celestia really that upset about it?

“I’m sorry that I beaver dammed you okay?” Luna apologized, though she couldn’t say that she was actually be genuine about it.

I can’t believe I’m actually apologizing for this.

“Oh you will be Luna,” Celestia said in a dark tone,” I can’t tell you how much it’s been bothering me the more I thought about it.”

“What the hay you mean by that?” Luna asked.

“Remember when I said that I would punish you?”

Luna recalled it clearly.

“Yeah but I thought you were only saying that to just play it off to that Swiftwind guy.”

Celestia smirked.

“I was but I did mean what I said. You will be punished, not for what you did to Speedy, but for what you did to me little sister. You know I don’t do well when I don’t get my piece.”

That was more than true. There had been only one time, one, that Celestia went a day without pleasuring her carnal desires and the results were...messy to say the least.

“Look Tia, if I would’ve known that you were planning on doing that with Twilight,” Luna began, now fearing what her sister was going to do to her because of this, “I would’ve just saved my little rampage for later but how could I have known that you were...ya know?” she said with a sheepish smile.

Celestia stayed silent for a few moments with her little smirk on her face.

“You do have a point Luna. There really wasn’t any way of you knowing...”

“Well see, there you go!” Luna said, clapping her hooves together, “No punishment needed. Now I’ll just head off to my room. Bye!”

Luna began making her way to the door but was stopped by Celestia’s voice.

“But there is one thing that I must tell you.”

Luna turned slowly and met her sister’s gaze.

“Yes?”

A wicked smile came across Tia’s face and her eyes went wide to a maniacal level.

“Though you may have not known and I guess I can’t really punish you on that basis, I do have something else that does require such punishment.”

What? What the hay did I do now?

“And that would be?”

Celestia’s horn lit up and to Luna’s horror, the ball of sheets that she had hidden under the bed but moments ago came forth and over to the white regal.

“You, dear sister, were clopping on my bed while I was away.”

“You were watching me?!! You...but you said you just got here!” Luna blurted out of extreme embarrassment and terror, not even taking the time to deny or lie about it.

Celestia chuckled at her and her shock.

“I did just arrive here but the smell of a mare is not something I’m not accustomed to sister. As soon as I entered my room, I already caught the whiff of a mare clopping in here and lo and behold, it’s you.”

How the buck does she do this?!!! She can smell that kind of shit?!!! AHHH DAMNIT!

“I...it was...I didn’t mean...” but Luna couldn’t form any sentence that could explain this. No words could justify what she had done and Celestia was relishing it.

“So how about you tell me what happened in your little fantasy world of yours that compelled you to do such a dirty thing on my bed?” Celestia asked in a sly tone.

Luna began to tremble and she tried to utter words and speak but nothing came. She didn’t know what to say. Her own sister knew that she had been clopping and it was too embarrassing to even describe.

“I...I don’t want to talk about it,” Luna finally answered.

“I think I have an idea. Did it have something to do with a certain cross-eyed mare of yours?”

She already knows! She has me figured out! Damnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnit!

Luna shifted her body and looked down to the floor with violent, red cheeks.

“I don’t want to...answer that.”

Celestia laughed.

“Oh don’t be so embarrassed Luna. Everypony clops to some pony. I can’t tell you how many times I have clopped to you in a day.”

Luna shot her head up.

“What???! That’s gross Tia! I’m your sister!”

Celestia shrugged.

“Hey, we all have our own fantasies.”

That was a fantasy that Luna didn’t want to know about. The only thing she wanted right now was to leave...badly. She just now wanted to go back to her room and bash her head into the wall, calling herself stupid and foolish to think that she could hide something like that from this sister of hers.

“Okay that’s it, I’m leaving.”

Luna put her off on the handle of the door and began to turn it...at least she tried to.

“What the-?”

Her hoof didn’t move and suddenly she saw a magical aura around it.

“I don’t think so Luna. I said you will be punished and that’s what I’m going to do,” Celestia said behind her.

Luna now tried to move her body but even that was now frozen. Celestia’s magic took hold of the alicorn’s body and made Luna move away from the door.

“Tia?! What are you doing?!” Luna exclaimed as she lost all control of her own body.

“You take my chance away from bucking my student and then clop on my own bed? Granted, I don’t mind that you did but to try and hide it from me little sister? You should know better than that,” Celestia said in a wicked, sultry tone.

Luna’s body turned to face her sister.

“Stop Tia! Let me go!”

But Celestia would not grant her such a request. Besides, punishment was in order. Celestia’s horn lit up brighter and with force, made Luna’s upper body go down to the floor, with her hindquarters still in the air. Then with a flash, shackles appeared and clamped over Luna’s hind legs, keeping them in place from moving.

“What the hay Tia!? What are you doing????!” the frantic princess yelled as she looked up to her sister.

A pair of magical bindings now appeared over her front hooves, pressing them against the floor. Her body was completely immobile now and all she could do was look up at desperately to what the hell her sister had in store for her.

“Stop your yelling Luna, it’s not like I’m going to rape you or anything,” Celestia said nonchalantly.

“It sure as hell looks like it!”

Celestia brought her hoof to her mouth as she tried to quell her oncoming laughter. Seeing her sister in such a compromising position in front of her was amusing to say the least.

“Now it’s time for me to get into uniform.”

“What??? Tia, let me go! This isn’t funny!” Luna begged as she tried to struggle out of her bindings.

Celestia didn’t reply and in a blink of an eye, a bright light engulfed the white alicorn.

Luna could only watch in confusion and terror what her sister was doing.

Within seconds, the light faded away and revealed the regal once more but not in her royal attire that she usually wore. Instead of the golden horseshoes she wore, they were now replaced by black leather boots. Her crown replaced by what looked like some type of military hat and in her mouth that was spread into a wide, sadistic smile, was a whip that had multiple threads attached to its handle.

Luna now knew where this was going.

“Tia! Wait! Not that! Please not that!” Luna begged.

Celestia levitated the whip out of her mouth and raised her in brow in amused curiosity.

“Oh? Then what do you propose that I do dear sister? Do you think there would be a punishment more fitting?”

There were plenty of more punishments that were more fitting than this. How could her sister think that this was fitting?! This wasn’t punishment; this was just another way for Celestia to satiate her perverted cravings!

“I know it’s not this!” Luna cried as she tried even more to break her bindings. She even tried to do some magic of her own to undo them but her magic was nothing compared to her big sister’s. To put it simply, there was no hope of freeing herself from her sister’s hold.

“Make me clean the royal stalls or something but this is just...just...crazy! I’ll even lick your hooves but not this!”

Luna was trying everything to somehow get out of this position. It was saying something that she rather lick her sister’s hooves and indulge in that little fetish of her sister’s than be bent over in front of her and take a flogging to her behind.

Celestia tapped her chin with her whip as she thought about such a proposal.

“As good as that sounds, I’m afraid that wouldn’t suffice for me Luna. I feel only a good, hard spanking will make you learn and have you realize the wrongs you committed against me,” she said as she snapped the whip in the air, making Luna flinch.

“Bullshit! Just because I accidently beaver dammed you and clopped on your bed?! Okay, the clopping is one thing but it was a mistake. I don’t know what came over me! You know that I don’t even like that stuff!”

“Oh I know what came over you Luna and I can tell what’s going to come over that pretty little flank of yours here in a few,” Celestia said in a sadistic tone.

“I’m your sister Tia! You don’t do these kind of things to sisters!”

Celestia simply smirked.

“And this is why I’m doing this Luna. Because you’re my sister and I only wish to teach you the error of your ways.”

“But-!” but Luna couldn’t finish her protest. A small red ball with a strap appeared and lodged itself inside the alicorn’s mouth and clasped around the back of her head.

“Mmmph!” Luna cried in her muffled tone.

“That’s better. I rather get this done quickly as I have a pony from the Cloudsdale Committee coming over here soon and you talking and begging is kind of slowing the process down for me.”

“MMMMPH!”

But it was futile. Luna’s protests could no longer be heard and now she was left to the mercy of her dominatrix of a sister.

Celestia casually walked over to Luna until she was behind her and out of Luna’s sight.

“Now this is a sight to see my dear sister. You bent over in front of me? Imagine if I was Derpy right now. Would you still be having the same reservations?”

Derpy....

Like some type of trigger, Luna’s imagination now began to roll. She actually began to imagine that it was Derpy who was behind her with the whip, gazing upon her in such a helpless, defenseless, vulnerable position.

No! Don’t think about that! Derpy wouldn’t...

But what if she did? She could see the blonde mare behind her, admiring her. Derpy would be able to do anything she wanted to her and she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

“Ohohoho! What’s this?” Celestia said in surprise as she noticed what was happening to any mare that got excited. “Is my dear sister actually getting aroused from this? Is the thought of your friend whipping you something you like?”

No! Stop! Stop thinking about Derpy!

But she couldn’t. Her rampant, lustful, imagination was playing the picture in her head.

“Hmmm, I think we’re ready to begin, don’t you think Luna?”

“MMMMPH!” Luna yelled in her muffled tone and shaking her head but inside was saying much different along with her body. Derpy whipping her, treating her like she was just another pony and she was her goddess; it excited her beyond her own belief.

“You say no Luna but I see something much different from this view,” Celestia laughed. “You know Luna, there is one moral that comes out of all this.”

What moral!? This is wrong! I don’t like this!

This would’ve been true if she could keep in her mind that her sister was actually about to whip her but her mind was giving off a different image; a blonde mare that stood behind mare, ready to whip her.

Celestia brought her face over to Luna’s ear and whispered what this moral could be.

“No good deed goes unpunished...little sister.”

Thwack!

I'm such a good sister...

Level 13

So it seems our dear Luna has something for the half-wit pony.

It would seem that way M.0.D.

This may pose a problem. The two supposed best gamers in Equestria being a possible couple....I don’t like that idea L33t.

Do you wish to prevent it? All you have to do is put the operation on green. You can end it here and now.

No...this could turn out to be interesting. I wonder if Luna could go for it or buck it up somehow. Either way, even if they do have something for each other and actually...ugh...get together, I’ll just kill two birds with one stone. Makes it easier for me.

As if Celestia whipping her own sister wasn’t ‘interesting? Or watching Princess Luna play with herself?

L33t...shut up and get the stream back on. I want to see Derpy right now.

Of course M.0.D. Commencing stream in Ponyville, residence of Derpy Hooves....

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 13

How We Met

Friday: One day before match against Celestia....

“So she actually spanked you?”

“Yes! I’m sitting on a pack of ice right now because of it!”

Derpy was a bit confused as she held her phone to her ear. She had called Luna a bit earlier to see how she was doing since yesterday and secretly she wanted to make sure that small kiss that she had given her didn’t somehow make the princess feel awkward.

“Ummm...well...did you enjoy it?” Derpy asked with a small laugh.

“Wha-huh? Enjoy it?! No! I would never enjoy something like that! My sister is just damn weird sometimes.”

“Okay, okay,” Derpy laughed, “I was just kidding Luna. I just know there are some mare’s that are into that kind of stuff and I wouldn’t think of you any different if you were into that you know?”

“Derpy....I’m not like that.,” Luna stated flatly over the phone.

“I know Luna. Calm down okay?” Derpy said, trying to quell her small laughter.

This ‘discipline’ that Celestia had put upon her best friend really had her riled up and even a bit more agitated than normal.

“Sorry...I just can’t believe...” Luna trailed off and there was a silence over the phone for a few moments.

“Hello? Can’t believe what?” Derpy asked.

“I...errr...I don’t know. Just I wasn’t happy about it was all. So anyways,” Luna began as she changed the subject on the grey mare, “After yesterday’s events and all, I still haven’t told you about the match that Celestia challenged us to.”

“Really?!” Derpy blurted, “Celestia plays video games? That’s awesome!”

Luna laughed over the phone.

“Tia?! Play games?! No my dear friend, she actually doesn't play games and yet she thinks that she could actually beat us.”

“Oh...so it’s both of us against her?”

“Well she will have Twilight with her but she doesn't play games either. It’s already a lost cause for my sister.”

Derpy wouldn’t know if Twilight actually played video games or not. Even with all the times she had delivered packages of books and chemistry supplies to the librarian, never once had she seen her order any type of gaming equipment or accessories. Wasn’t to say that Twilight didn’t play games but again, the mailmare really had no clue.

“Well I can’t really say anything about that. I guess we will see how it goes tomorrow night right?” Derpy said with reservation.

The grey mare knew that Luna and her were probably one of the best...THE best....gamers in Equestria. But unlike a certain magician that she had a certain distaste for, she wasn’t one to boast about it and was careful not to get overly confident.

“Derpy, you and I both know there will be nothing to see. Just you and I kicking flank.”

“Well you never know Luna. They may actually be pretty good.”

“Pfffft. If that happens, then I’ll give up gaming forever.”

“I doubt that. I can’t see you giving up gaming for anything,” Derpy laughed.

“Yeah probably. Well I better get going. Have to attend my court today. I’m going to look ridiculous with these ice packs strapped to my flanks.”

Derpy bit her lower lip and tried to keep herself from laughing as the image of giant, bulking ice packs attached to Luna’s flanks appeared in her mind.

“I’m sure you’ll look just fine like always Luna. Have fun,” Derpy teased.

“Yeah, sooo much fun,” Luna also teased before sending her farewell, “I’ll talk to you later Derpy. Bye.”

“Bye Luna,” Derpy replied in a cheery tone.

The mailmare waited until she heard the sound of a click and then a small beep, signaling the call had ended. She set her phone down at the table she was sitting at and simply stared at the muffin that she had made for breakfast earlier; her cheery demeanor instantly leaving her.

Well, she didn’t seem to come off as weirded out or anything so that’s good.

It certainly was for the mare. Ever since she had taken the daring leap to kiss Luna on her cheek, she had been worried that she somehow made the princess feel awkward once she left. By the way they left each other and spoke to each other right after such an action, it certainly seemed like it.

She still doesn't get it though.

Though this was good in it’s own way, it also proved disheartening for Derpy. She had hoped that somehow that kiss, that gesture, would somehow finally make Luna realize something so simple, so obvious, about her.

The simple fact that Derpy Hooves actually loved the Princess of the Night, her best friend, and her fellow gamer. It was a love that she herself realized and accepted a long time ago and had been quiet about.

Could you blame her?

Her, a pony that was seen as some type of accident or mess-up because of her skewed eyes, to actually fancy a goddess? Princess Luna to her was the epitome of perfection, the model of all that was beautiful and pleasant to the eye; a mare that could never have any type of interest in one such is she.

Yes, they were friends and they spent a ton of time together but that was it. They were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

Why can’t I just tell her? Tell her that I love her?

But she knew why. It was fear; the fear of what her beloved princess would say.

She’ll probably just want to stay friends.

It’s not as if it hadn’t happened before. Now of course not with Luna, but there were a few other ponies that she had taken interest into before meeting the princess and beginning her friendship with her. As it would go, she would finally muster up the courage to tell her said interest about how she felt and what would be the response she would get?

‘I think it’s better we just stay friends.’

Derpy knew she wasn’t the smartest in the shed but she wasn’t stupid either. She knew that response was simply meaning that the certain interest didn’t want to be seen with some pony that looked weird...but it’s not like she didn’t expect it either. Thus, she never really tried to pursue a romantic relationship, seeing that maybe she simply wasn’t meant for one.

That was until she met Princess Luna.

Ever since the moment they met and began spending time together, the more the grey mare began to develop feelings for the alicorn. It wasn’t something she wanted, especially towards a goddess, but how could one choose to not have feelings for another pony? It wasn’t some type of process that could have a cognitive decision at the end of it to determine if one loved another.

It was just there. Smitten love had afflicted her and bloomed into genuine love.

But alas, it would be a love that she felt would never be realized by her princess. Luna only wanted her as a friend, a buddy to play videogames with.

At least this is what she believed.

“Are you going to eat that muffin big sis?” a small, gentle voice said.

Derpy ripped herself from her inner thoughts and looked over to her small sister, Dinky.

“No, you go ahead and have it Dinky”, she answered with a smile and ruffled the filly’s mane a bit.

She grabbed the fresh muffin and gave it to her little sister and without delay the small mare munched on the bake good happily.

“So what are you doing?” Dinky asked as little flakes of muffin covered her mouth as she ate.

“Oh nothing. I was just sitting here and thinking about stuff was all.”

Dinky continued feasting on her small treat as she spoke.

“What stuff?”

Derpy rolled her eyes playfully. As always, her sister was being the nosy filly she was.

“Stuff that you don’t need to know about,” Derpy said playfully as she booped the small unicorn’s nose.

“But why not?” Dinky said.

“Well,” Derpy began as she tapped her hoof on her chin, trying to think of some reason that would hopefully satisfy the persistent Dinky. She obviously wasn’t going to tell Dinky, a small filly that really had no idea about love and relationships, about what she was really thinking.

“Because it’s big pony stuff Dinky,”Derpy said with a smile.

“It’s about Woona, isn’t it?”

Derpy’s grey cheeks immediately flushed.

Am I that obvious? Even Dinky knows I’m head over hoof for her?

“Now what would make you think that Dinky?” Derpy asked coyly, rubbing the back of her head in nervousness.

“Well you and Woona spend a lot of time together so you have to like each other right?”

“That’s because we’re friends Dinky,” Derpy replied, now a bit relieved that she simply misunderstood her sister. It was silly to think that this filly could tell that Derpy was in love with the alicorn.

“Oh! So that’s what friends do.”

“Yeah, just like you and your friends. You guys spend time together.”

“But I thought big ponies were friends with their special somepony?” Dinky asked.

Derpy was now getting a bit confused. It seemed her dear sister was mixing the concept of friends and lovers.

“Well yes and no. Big ponies have friends too that are just friends and also can have that one special somepony along with those friends. It’s just that special somepony is more than a friend, get it?” Derpy said, trying to teach her innocent unicorn.

“Ohhhhh okay, I get it now,” Dinky said with now a better understanding,”So why don’t you and Woona become each other’s special somepony?

Derpy felt a lump form in her throat. Dinky was simply asking innocent questions, just as any young filly does due to their curious little minds but this was becoming harder and harder for the mailmare.

Why don’t we? Derpy now asked herself.

They both liked games and knew each other inside out. They had shared secrets with each other;secrets that they would’ve never divulged to any other pony. Hell, there had been times that they even went out to dinner together...of course as friends.

But Derpy always wanted more...she wanted more than Luna the friend and gamer. She wanted Luna, her marefriend, lover, and fellow gamer but this was a faulty reality...and she believed it. It was a dream that would be always out of her reach, no matter what she did or said to her beloved ruler;Luna just couldn’t see it.

But why would she?

She was just Derpy. The pegasus with skewed eyes and worked as some small mailmare.

“Well...cause we're not. We just met as friends and that’s all we are,” she told Dinky with a fake smile, while inside it killed her to say such words.

Dinky simply nodded and finished the muffin that she had gladly been indulging in. The unicorn lifted herself onto one of the chairs of the table and looked towards her big sister.

“Oh okay then. So how did you and Woona meet?” Dinky asked, now changing the subject off of Derpy’s fantasy love life.

“Huh? I never told you Dinky?” Derpy asked, a bit surprised about this. She began to wonder where all these questions were coming from.

Dinky shook her head.

“Nope, I think all you told me that you met Woona on Nightmare Night a while ago. I want to know like how and what made you two friends...if that’s okay?” Dinky said, now being mindful of what she was asking.

Derpy couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. It was kind of amusing seeing her little sister being considerate but she couldn't deny her. Derpy figured it might help get her mind away from focusing on her failed desires anyways.

“Of course Dinky. I’ll tell you what Luna and I did that night but before I do...”

“Yes?” Dinky asked with wide, happy eyes. She loved it when Derpy told stories to her but this one would be different. This one would be about her favorite sister and princess.

“Let me get more muffins for us from the kitchen.”

***

2 years ago: Nightmare Night in Ponyville....

“Thanks Derpy. It was mighty nice of ya to go to the orchard and fetch some more apples for me,” Applejack said as she patted the mare on her back.

Derpy gave a welcoming smile in return in her simple but entertaining costume. She wore a paper bag on her head and even smaller little bags on her front hooves. She enjoyed wearing costumes but she wanted something she could make this year. So, thus was born the ‘paper bag mare’ as she dubbed it...and the fact that she was not very graceful with glue might have played a part in choosing such attire.

Regardless, it was Nightmare Night, her favorite time of the year with Hearth’s Warming Eve being next to it and this was the time to dress anyway you wanted.

“No problem Applejack. I figured it was the least I could do after...well...draining all the water from earlier,” Derpy said as she shuffled her hooves on the dirt floor, recalling her little accident while bobbing for apples.

“Don’t worry your little head off about that sugarcube,” Applejack encouraged in her signature southern twang and smile, “Ah need to get rid of that darn thing anyways. It’s pretty bad when Ah have to use a plug to just fill some confoundin’ hole from letting the water out.”

“Yeah, heh, well still. Sorry about that.”

Applejack simply waved her hoof.

“Nough of yer apolgizin’ Derpy. Ah already told ya it’s okay. Now let’s get these apples in this here bucket and get the bobbin’ going again.”

So with apologies said and a desire to bob for more apples, Derpy Hooves helped the farm pony and began filling up the large bucket with water and apples. they did this for only a few minutes, seeing that it didn’t take much to set up a place to bob apples.

“Well tickle me pink Derpy. Ah didn’t know that you were such a strong pony to be loadin apples without breaking a sweat. Ah’m guessing deliverin’ packages has its benefits huh?” Applejack laughed as she nudged the grey mare, making Derpy chuckle a bit in response.

“Yeah, I guess so,” Derpy replied with humility.

“Well if ya wanna bob for more apples, go for it sugarcube. We got some ponies coming over here and Ah’ll be busy countin’ bits. Just be careful of the plug okay?”

Derpy blushed out of acute embarrassment.

“Yeah. I’ll watch for it.”

“Alrighty then,” Applejack said as she tipped her straw hat of her costume and walked away to do her business.

I really need to start paying attention more to what I do.

She kept that little mental note in her head and went over to the giant bucket full of water and delicious red fruit that floated in it. She couldn’t put into words how much she loved to bob for apples. What pony couldn’t love diving their face into water to get some apples? The cool water against one’s face and to have it followed with a juicy treat?

Derpy positioned her head above the bucket and apples and prepared to go bad on them when something began to ring.

[Tone ]

Oh c’mon!

Derpy looked over to her goody bag that was filled with muffins and candy and saw her phone that she had laid upon the stash ringing. Now she wasn’t a mare to ignore a call when she had the ability to answer it, even if it meant waiting a bit longer before she could bob for apples again. She hopped off the little ladder and went over to it and flipped open her phone.

Incoming Call: Lyra

Derpy accepted the call and put it to her ear.

“Hey Lyra.”

“Hey Derpy. Sorry I’m calling right now, did I interrupt anything?”

Derpy looked over to the small pool of apples.

“Well,nothing important, no. What’s going on?”

“Okay. Bon Bon and I are at PonyStop and I want to get Asura’s Wrath but she keeps telling me it’s a bad game. I know you played it before so I wanted to see what you would say since you actually played it.”

Derpy simply rolled her eyes with a little smile. It was no surprise that once again her musical and human obsessed friend was asking for some game critique. Lyra was not one to spend bits on a game without knowing what she was getting and everypony that cared for good games knew that their local mailmare was the one to go to to find out if they were.

After all, she was a gamer, unbeknownst to quite a few ponies who didn’t take the time to get to know her.

“Well do you like gameplay or story more?” Derpy asked.

“I’m more of a story mare.”

“Then Asura’s Wrath would be a good game for you. There’s gameplay involved in it but it’s mostly of whole lot of quick time events and stuff, but the story and over the top action is great. I literally ate a whole tray of muffins while playing that game like it was some type of movie.”

“See Bon Bon! I told you that she would say it would be good!” Derpy heard Lyra yell from a distance from her phone.

“Okay, okay, I’m getting it,” she heard Bon Bon say in the background.

“Okay she’s getting it. Thanks Derpy.”

“No problem. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Okay Derpy. Happy Nightmare Night.”

“You too,” Derpy said and hung up the phone.

She might’ve not been the most graceful mare or the smartest but she knew one thing;it felt good to know that she was smart about her games.

She set her phone back onto her sweet stash and turned around to get to her favorite activity but instead of being met with a pool of apples waiting for her, there was a pony. A pony that stood taller than her and as the mail mare looked up, she immediately realized who this pony was in her presence.

Her dark sapphire coat was illuminated in the moon’s glow, her dark regalia with the crescent moon made itself apparent, and her mane sparkled behind her with her teal eyes looking down at the pegasus.

“P..Princess Luna!” Derpy said in astonishment and immediately bowed down before the regal.

Oh crap! Was I in the way? Did she want to bob for apples and I got in her way??

Derpy had already seen this regal’s anger earlier this night after being fed up with the citizens of Ponyville and she had no intention to piss this princess off. But why was Princess Luna here? Bob for apples? Passing by? Maybe she wanted to talk to her?

“Are you the one they call Derpy Hooves?” Princess Luna asked in her regal poise and standing.

Derpy looked up to the princess and into her glowing teal eyes. It seemed like the night was somehow illuminating every feature of this alicorn.

“Y..yes, that would be me,” Derpy said shakily.

Luna’s face was unchanging as she now continued her questions.

“Derpy Hooves, the sister of Dinky Hooves and local mailmare of Ponyville?”

Her voice had authority and power in it. Her very words and tone commanded respect.

“Umm, yes.”

Why is she asking who I am? Did I do something wrong???

Anxiety began to take the mare. Her mind raced with what she could’ve done to have actually gained the attention of Princess Luna. It couldn’t have been good if this regal was making sure who she was.

A few moments of silence passed by until Derpy saw a silver hoof held out to her along with a smile.

“It’s nice to meet you Derpy Hooves,” Luna greeted with a small but nervous smile, her voice now abandoning it’s regality.

“Huh?”

This was not what she expected. All Derpy could do was stare dumbly at the princess and cock her head.

Luna now smiled even more sheepishly.

“Um, this is how to greet ponies yes? Or are we-I mean- Or am I doing it wrong?”

“Uhhh no,” Derpy said, finally lifting herself up from her bowing position and holding out her own hoof cautiously, “You’re doing it right Princess Luna.”

“Oh good!” Luna exclaimed in relieved happiness, “I thought for a moment I was doing it wrong again.”

She’s different....she’s not yelling and she looks...nice.

This wasn’t the Princess Luna that had entered Ponyville and was using some type of loud voice to talk and she didn’t actually seem all that intimidating now. She looked approachable, even friendly now.

Twilight Sparkle? She did go with her around Ponyville in stuff. Maybe she did something to change her mood.

“Is this the part where we shake hooves or is it something else?” Luna asked, still holding that nervous smile.

“Oh!” Derpy exclaimed, almost losing herself in thought, “Uh yeah, sorry.” She smiled with a small squee sound.

Princess Luna made contact with her hoof and began to shake it gently.

“It is nice to meet you Derpy Hooves.”

“Heheh, you too Princess Luna?” Derpy replied awkwardly.

The poor grey mare had no idea what was going on. Here was Princess Luna, her of all ponies, shaking her hoof and greeting her. Derpy wasn’t now intimidated but now simply a bit confused. What would compel this goddess to come to some pony like her?

They shook their hooves for a few moments before Luna broke the gesture and now simply stared at Derpy with her now more than nervous smile.

“Ummm,” Derpy hummed, seeing that this alicorn was now simply staring at her, “Is there anything I can help you with Princess Luna?” she asked with all politeness.

She’s nervous...why is she nervous?

This was interesting. Princess Luna wasn’t the dark intimidating figure that she had seen and cowered at when she arrived in Ponyville. She looked fragile, nervous, even vulnerable. She carried the figure of a regal but in Derpy’s crossed eyes, she just seemed like a mare who was now simply nervous of meeting someone.

Was this it?

Was Luna nervous because of her?

She watched the alicorn’s eyes shift left to right, still smiling, and beads of sweat even coming down her forehead.

“Ummm, Princess Luna? Are you alright?” Derpy asked, now a bit concerned.

“Oh yes!” Luna exclaimed, “I came here to you Derpy Hooves because we-I mean-I happened to have eavesdropped by accident on your little conversation that you were having on your cellular device.”

Derpy shifted her crossed eyes and was about to answer until Luna interupted.

“Your eyes!” Luna exclaimed making the mare jump a bit.

“Huh?!” but Derpy didn’t even get time to even comprehend for a moment what Luna was even saying as the alicorn lifted the pegasus with her magic and brought her muzzle close to hers and stared right into them.

“Your eyes Derpy Hooves! They’re...skewed! How did this happen?? Did somepony curse you??”

“Nononono!” Derpy said frantically as she flailed her legs in mid-air, “I was born this way Princess Luna! I’m not cursed!”

Luna cocked her head a bit and gently set the mare down back on the ground.

“You were...born...that way?” Luna asked with curiosity.

Derpy grimaced inside.

Great...here we go about my eyes. Now she’s probably going to say how weird I look-”

“I have never seen a pony with such a unique quality.”

What?

Did she just hear right? Did Princess Luna say that her eyes were actually...unique? Never before had the pegasus heard somepony call her eyes that. She usually only heard weird, abnormal, goofy looking, and the rare occasion, retarded.

“Unique?” Derpy repeated, making sure she had heard correctly.

“Yes. Never before had I seen a pony with what you have. It compliments your appearance well Derpy Hooves,” Luna said with another wide smile.

Derpy didn’t know if Luna was simply being nice for the sake of it or if she actually meant it but one thing was certain: Princess Luna was actually complimenting her eyes.

“Oh wow..umm thank you Princess Luna,” Derpy said, a bit baffled at something that nice.

“Now, um, I came to you Derpy Hooves because I couldn’t help but overhear you on your cellular device and hearing something about...Asura’s Wrath?”

“Oh yeah. That was one of my friends. She wanted to know about it and stuff. Asura’s Wrath is a-” but as Derpy was about to begin to explain what it even was, seeing that she thought Princess Luna would have no clue about what it was, she was interrupted by Luna once again and what she heard utterly shocked her.

“A video game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by one of my personal favorites, Capcom. It’s an action video game with interactive story and it runs on Unreal Engine 3...which I believe was a good choice on their part. I just wanted to come over and see what you thought about the game. I found it quite good for not much gameplay.”

Holy hay....

Utter and complete shock was written over Derpy’s face. Her eyes had instantly went straight and her jaw hung completely open.

Sh had to ask the question.

“Do you play video games Princess Luna?”

Luna happily nodded.

“Yes! I love video games! Do you?!” Princess Luna asked excitedly.

Derpy couldn’t believe this. Princess Luna was a gamer just like her?

“Yeah. I play video games all the time. I was actually planning to go back home after tonight to play some Super Smash Ponies Brawl-”

Princess Luna gasped and put her muzzle right against Derpy’s.

“You have Super Smash Ponies Brawl?! I love that game!”

Derpy couldn’t help but let a small laugh escape her. Seeing this princess, one that she had thought was dark and intimidating was actually a bit funny and nothing what she had originally believed.

Maybe I should invite her over...she did say she was looking for friends...and she’s a gamer...maybe me and her could be friends.

It was a leap but seeing Princess Luna’s enthusiasm for games, she couldn’t really let an opportunity like that slip by. Besides, she didn’t want to be a pony that judged by appearances. Yes, Luna had came off as scary in the beginning but now seeing this, maybe it was only because she was nervous. Being locked away for a thousand years and then to come to a world that was completely different from what she knew had to be actually intimidating for her.

“Well if you want to Princess Luna, we could go over to my place and play a few games if you have the time?” Derpy offered.

Luna’s eyes went even wider and she backed her head away with a more than happy smile.

“I would love to Derpy Hooves. It would be a pleasure to game with another enthusiast of the same interest. Just lead the way and I will follow.”

Derpy looked over to the floating apples that she had desired to bob for earlier but now they didn’t seem all that appealing. Instead, she was more interested about Princess Luna and this love of games that they shared.

The mailmare smiled and answered.

“Okay. Follow me Princess Luna.”

With that, Derpy grabbed her bag of sweets and muffins and led the princess to her home.

***

Late that night in Derpy’s room...

“It seems we are now 13 for 13 Derpy Hooves,” Princess Luna said as she sat next to Derpy with her Gamecube controller beside her.

There were no words to describe what Derpy had just experienced. Never before had somepony kept her on her hooves and made her play so hard to just even keep up. Games were her domain, her passion, and she never had any trouble winning by landslides.

But Luna was something else. This alicorn was more than a pro at games. She was a gaming goddess. She knew all the moves for each character she chose. She wasn’t one of those that was only good with one fighting character and failed with the rest and the way she was able to chain her attacks in perfect rhythm...it blew Derpy’s mind.

“Princess Luna...if I may say with all respect...I kind of never expected for you to be this good,” Derpy admitted.

She saw Luna blush a bit from the complement.

“I’m actually a bit rusty Derpy Hooves. It’s been quite awhile since I played games last,” Luna said sheepishly.

Rusty?? This is her being rusty??? She’s flipping awesome at this!

“Then I’m afraid of what you could do once you get back up to full potential Princess Luna,” Derpy laughed, still pleasantly shocked by this awesome gamer and princess.

Princess Luna laughed along with her.

“Well you were certainly a challenge Derpy Hooves. I can’t honestly say that I have met a fellow gamer as good as you.”

Now she herself began to blush from such a compliment. This feeling of joy and happiness that had taken refuge within the grey mare during her time playing with Princess Luna was nothing she had felt before and she was actually liking it. She really couldn’t recall the last time she had this much fun playing a video game with somepony, let alone a princess.

“Thanks Princess Luna.”

Luna looked into Derpy’s eyes and the pegasus could see that Luna was sharing the same joy and happiness that she was feeling. Princess Luna was also having a good time.

And then as if from fate itself, Derpy said something that would begin it all.

“You know Princess Luna, I’m having a lot of fun playing with you and stuff. I would’ve never guessed that you were into games like me earlier but I think that we should do this more often.”

Luna looked at her in awe, as if no pony has actually ever said something like that to her before.

“You really think so? You would enjoy our...my...company with you?”

Derpy nodded her head.

“Yeah, I think I would Princess Luna.”

The alicorn sat in a moment of silence and it looked like she was trying to think of something to say or maybe just thinking to herself.

“So you don’t fear me like other ponies do?”

Well, she did in the beginning but seeing how cool and nice Luna really was, she knew that she was wrong to be afraid of her.

“Well I did at first when you came here earlier,” Derpy admitted, “But now that I got to talk and play with you, you’re actually pretty cool and nice.”

This must’ve made the alicorn’s night. Luna smiled wide; wide enough to show off her teeth.

“I am glad to hear that Derpy Hooves. It is nice to know that one pony can see me for that but what you said about us playing together more; could I ask you a question about it?”

“Of course princess,” Derpy replied as she got up and went over to the Gamecube to turn it off.

“Would you like to come to Canterlot near the end of this week to play games with me?”

Canterlot???

This was almost too good to be true. Princess Luna was inviting her to come to Canterlot Castle simply so they could play games together?

“That sounds like a great idea princess but won’t you be busy doing...princess stuff?” Derpy said, being considerate of her rulers responsibilities. She didn’t want to somehow get in the way of Luna’s royal duties.

Princess Luna waved her hoof nonchalantly.

“I won’t be taking on any responsibilities as a ruler yet. My sister wants me to get settled in for a bit before that. She says she wants to show me a few things before I do so.”

“Oh well okay then. Well if you’re sure, then yeah! I would love to come and play games. It would be cool to see where you live and what games you play Princess Luna.”

“Oh good! I’m happy to hear that.”

Luna looked out the window of Derpy’s room and turned back at to the mare as she rose up from her sitting position.

“Well, my night is getting late and I must get back to Twilight Sparkle and thank her for helping me get accustomed to some of Ponyville’s social norms and traditions. I had much of the fun with you Derpy Hooves. I can’t wait until we do it again.”

Derpy felt a bit a disappointment well in her. She actually didn’t want Luna to go just yet. She wanted to have some more fun and she hadn’t even got to bake any muffins for her to try. Nevertheless, Derpy couldn’t say it wasn’t a good night...it was a great night, much better than she had anticipated.

“Oh okay then Princess-”

“You do not have to call me that Derpy Hooves.”

“Huh?”

The alicorn walked over to the mare and put her silver hoof on Derpy’s shoulder.

“I like you Derpy Hooves. You have shown me kindness and have shown your princess a good time. I have to admit, I never thought I would find one as enjoyable as you but it seems I was wrong. You can just call me Luna from now on.”

Derpy couldn’t help but nod and smile.

“Okay Luna, and you can just call me Derpy,” she laughed.

“Very well then Derpy,” Luna said with a gentle laugh of her own.

This is so cool! I just played video games with Princess Luna and she thinks I’m cool!

Derpy’s little heart beamed. She couldn’t describe or explain why she felt this good but she wasn’t going to ask why. Not many ponies were willing to play games with her because they either saw her as weird or just saw games as something only ‘nerdy ponies’ did but now knowing that Princess Luna played games just like her and was absolutely a badass gamer, it made her feel validated in some way.

“Well, I really must be off. Could you show me the way to the exit of your home Derpy?”

The muffin loving mare gladly obliged.

“Follow me Luna.”

Derpy opened the door and the two left her room and made their way to the outside. A cool but pleasant breeze blew through the dark and now quiet night. Most ponies have already returned to their homes to end their night of mischief and sweets, sleeping until the morning rose and signaled a new day.

“Oh...I didn’t realize how late it was,” Luna said as she looked up toward her moon.

“Yeah, me either.”

How time flew when one was having fun.It was obvious that time had completely left these two gamers in the wake of such enjoyment.

“I really must get going,” Luna said as she turned and lowered herself a bit to be face to face with Derpy, “I thank you again Derpy for tonight. I can’t wait till we meet again and play together. I would have to say this was probably the best Nightmare Night we-I-have had in a long time.”

“Me too Luna. It was pretty awesome.”

Luna smiled gently and lifted herself again and stood in all her regality and power.

“I’m happy to hear that.”

Luna unfurled her wings and began to lift herself off the ground as Derpy simply watched in awe and happiness.

“Until next time my friend.”

With that farewell, Princess Luna flew off into the night and Derpy could only stand there with a grin as she realized what had just happened. This night, the night that she would've never guessed to be the beginning of a bond with one she never fathomed of ever even speaking to, had begun.

What was this realization? Simple.

I have a new friend...

***

Back to the present...

Her heart beamed.

Telling the story of how her and Luna met only made Derpy’s heart pound hard against her chest. It was a memory that she considered the best for it was the beginning of her friendship with the princess and also the herald for the love that Derpy developed after it.

“So Woona and you played games that night?” Dinky asked, her entire face covered in muffin crumbs and a small milk mustache accompanying it.

“Yep,” Derpy answered.

“Aw man...now I wish I was home to see Woona and you play,” Dinky whined.

“I think you still would've had more fun spending the night with Pip and your other friends than watching us two play”, Derpy laughed, seeing that Dinky was now actually getting a bit jealous.

“I don’t know...maybe,” Dinky said, tapping her chin with her hoof with a little smile of her own.

Little joker.

“Well how about we get you cleaned up?” Derpy suggested. She got up from the table and began picking up plates and glasses so they could be cleaned for later.

“Awww, but I want to hear another one about you and Woona.”

Derpy chuckled, seeing Dinky and her love of stories but now the memory of her and Luna meeting each other kept replaying in her head.

Until next time my friend.

Those words to her now meant so much more than what they were intended. She loved Princess Luna as a friend...and she loved her even more than a friend. This was not a fact that she couldn’t deny but this memory and telling it to her sister was bringing something that she needed.

Hope. Encouragement.

She felt earlier that no matter how many hints she had tried to give Luna, that kiss from yesterday being an obvious one, that the princess would never realize that she had feelings for her ruler and only see her as just a friend.

But now she felt something different.

She felt that maybe Luna would see it. Maybe Luna might’ve already figured it out and actually might feel the same. It was a longshot for Derpy but it was nice to hold onto. She resolved that she would continue giving her little hints to Luna and keep that hope that everything may work out in her favor...or at least until she gained the courage to profess her love to her.

“Please big sis! Just one more!” Dinky begged, “Then I promise I’ll take a bath and get cleaned up.”

Derpy set the dishes down onto the counter and looked back at the filly.

Luna will figure it out...just takes a bit of time is all.

“Okay fine Dinky. One more but then it’s the bubbles for you okay?”

Dinky nodded and situated herself for the next story.

Derpy sat back down at the table next to her sister and recalled the many memories she shared with Luna but only one thing repeated in her mind that only fueled her hopes even more.

I love Princess Luna.

And that was the truth.

“Okay Dinky, I got a good one for you. Remember that one time Luna and I went on vacation during your spring break?”

“Yeah! I was at mom’s place in Manehatten.”

Derpy recalled her memory and smiled. It seemed any memory with Luna was going to do that to this mare.

“Well this is the story of when Luna and I went in search for the Crystal Skull....”

The REAL Level 14

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 14

I’ll Have Halo 4 With A Side of Pony Plot Please.

Friday night....

The moon was lifted. The night sparkled and the sky was clear of any black clouds, letting the moon’s glowing light spread across Equestria. The dark veil would cover its citizens and watch as lovers and friends engage in their nightly activities.

Tonight was simply a beautiful night. Ponies would look up at it and admire the sea of cosmos with wonder and tell themselves that their Princess of the Night had outdone herself and possibly wondering what she thought of her own work.

What did Princess Luna think of this beautiful night?

“Where the flying buck is my Halo hoodie?!!!!”

Princess Luna tore her room upside down and sideways looking for her treasured apparel that had Master Chief’s helmet displayed on the chest with two battle rifles crossed behind it. Not only that, it had a hood that could be zipped up over the head and made to look like the very helmet that the iconic hero wore.

“C’mon! Where is it???” she said as she flung her bed to the other side of her room and began to scan the floor underneath it.

Tonight was too important NOT to have it. Despite the events of yesterday and dealing with an abundance of questions in her court today about it and why she had bags of ice strapped to her flanks, there was no way in Equestria, Tartarus, and whatever else that she could think of that she was missing the midnight launch of Halo 4.

For too long she waited for that game and this hoodie that she wanted to wear to it was not going to stop her. She was beginning to resolve that if it didn’t turn up here within the next few seconds, then she was going to see a certain fashionista to make one for her, despite the possibility that the unicorn might be sleeping.

She put her bed back in place and began going through her closet frantically.

“It has to be here! By my sister’s beard, this is ridiculous!”

She had to have that hoodie. Luna didn’t want to show up to a Halo launch without any way of showing how much she adored the series and be the only one of her friends who didn’t show any love for it.

Tia...Did she take it???

But that couldn’t be. Celestia had been gone all day doing something concerning political relations with the gryphon kingdom and Luna had placed all her guards around her chambers to make sure that Celestia didn’t get in somehow. Luna couldn’t say she wasn’t grateful that her big sister had been gone all day.

After last night’s ‘punishment’ she could only imagine how awkward it would be to see Tia and such. The fact that her sister actually had her bound, gagged and whipped was disturbing enough, but what was more disturbing to Luna was that she actually enjoyed it. Now it wasn’t because she had something for her sister, that was just gross and taboo, but the image of Derpy doing it to her...

Celestia didn’t really help quell that image though. During her pleasurable beating, Celestia said things that were too dirty to even recall but she said it in Derpy’s voice. Again though, she didn’t want to recall last night and put it in her subconscious and continued on with her business as if it never happened.

It’s not here! Son of a whorse, where did I put it?!!

Her body and mind were going into a panic. Her thoughts began to run rampant.

If I don’t have my hoodie, then what?! Maybe...maybe I could go see Rarity and have her make one for me...

She looked over to the clock.

10:45 P.M.

Damnit! Not enough time....maybe I could make a battle rifle out Tia’s dildo’s...

She shuddered at such a nasty thought but she would be damned if she was going to this launch as just some regular bystander and gamer. She was no ordinary gamer.

Luna's Tone that has no type of relevance.

Luna quickly summoned her phone towards her to see what pony was calling her amid the chaos that was her room now.

Incoming call: Muffin

Luna slightly blushed seeing that she had changed Derpy’s name in her contact list to muffin. It wasn’t because of the fact that Derpy had an obsession with the goods but something much more sinful.

In her small ‘session’ with herself last night on her sister’s bed, she had recalled calling out the words ‘my muffin’ in reference to Derpy. It was sappy, she knew it, but she liked it... a lot.

She answered the phone.

“Hello Derpy,” Luna said in a faked cheery tone, trying to hide the panic she was going through.

“Hey Luna! Where are you? We’ve all been here since ten,” Derpy said loudly over the many voices that Luna heard in the background.

“I’m just looking for my Halo hoodie and I can’t seem to find it,” she replied, now feeling her eye beginning to twitch, still trying to figure out where the hell it could be.

“Oh, I have it with me. Remember a few weeks ago you left it at my place so you wouldn’t misplace it for tonight?”

“What?” Luna said flatly.

“Yeah, got it right here in my bag for when you get here. You’re coming right?”

Luna slapped her hoof on her face. She couldn’t believe that she had forgotten that important little detail.

“Luna? You there?” Derpy asked.

“Yeah yeah! I’m here, it’s just I literally tore my room upside down trying to find that and I kinda feel a bit stupid for not remembering that I left it with you.”

Derpy laughed a bit over the phone.

“Well don’t worry, I got it. You need to get on over here quick though because ponies are lining up and this place is getting packed. I don’t know-”

“Hell yeah it’s getting packed! Tell her to get her ass on over here!” a voice yelled in the background.

“Is that Vinyl?” Luna asked, “Are all our friends already there?”

“Yeah. It’s me, Vinyl, Lyra and Bon Bon, Berry, and uhh..” Derpy quieted her voice a bit and whispered into the phone, “And her weird friend. The one that talks weird.”

Perro.

Luna face-hoofed herself once again. She completely forgotten that she was supposed to talk to him today over Live but tonight’s event had been completely wiped that notion away. Then again, she had second thoughts about going to a complete stranger about her personal life. Maybe it was best that she had forgotten.

“What about Trixie? Isn’t she coming?”

“No. Berry tried calling her a few times but she hasn’t answered. I think she’s still upset about last week with the whole Twilight thing,” Derpy said.

Luna had a feeling that her friend didn’t really regret that Trixie wasn’t showing up. It was no secret that Derpy had a passionate dislike for the unicorn.

“Well maybe I can get a hold of her. When’s the last time anypony heard from her?”

“I can ask Berry since she’s really the only one who talks to her. Just a minute...”

There was a silence on the phone for a few seconds until she heard her friends voice calling out for the drunk pony.

“Berry?”

“What” she heard the slurred voice yell back in the background.

“When’s the last time you spoke to Trixie?”

“The hells ifsh I know! She cans go sucksh herself.”

“Apparently she’s sucking herself,” Derpy said in a half sarcastic and amused tone.

Luna couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned for the magician. She was sure that Trixie was alright and well but Trixie did seem a bit upset after last Saturday night, but the unicorn would have said something by now, as was her nature. Trixie might’ve been annoying, conceited, and many other things, but she had no problem voicing her thoughts and opinions. If she was truly angry or something was wrong with her, she would definitely have said something by now.

She’s probably fine. Just a little butthurt still.

“So when are you getting here Luna?” Derpy asked once again.

Luna brought herself back to the present and away from her concern for the silver-maned mare.

“Oh yeah! I’ll be there in a few.”

“Okay, see you soon.”

“Yeah, see you in a little bit.”

With that, Luna hung up her phone and turned to the disaster of her room. Sheets were thrown across the floor, gaming accessories littered her desk, and even her very games were no longer in alphabetical order on her shelves.

I should really clean this up...

She didn’t like having a messy room and wasn’t one to simply leave it that way. Luna liked her room to be presentable and in order. She had to have it be that way considering that she always had Derpy come over on Saturdays and that she could never find anything when her room was a disaster.

...but it can wait. Derpy is waiting for me.

But it seemed Halo 4 and Derpy was a bit more important right now.

Could you really blame her though?

***

“Hey Luna,” Derpy greeted with a smile as the alicorn landed gracefully beside her, “How was the flight here?”

Derpy handed the hoodie that had eluded Luna back at Canterlot and the princess put it on with a quickness.

“It was enjoyable my friend,” Luna replied after sticking her head through the hole of the hoodie.

She admired the small mare and saw that Derpy was wearing a replica Covenant Carbine strapped around her back along with a small belt around her waist with small blue balls on them.

“What the hay is that?” Luna asked, not ever seeing this new accessory.

“Oh this?” Derpy said, seeing that Luna was pointing at the belt, “Do you want to get in between my legs?”

Luna’s eyes went wide and looked at Derpy with shock.

“What did you say??”

“I said do you want to see it,” Derpy replied, a bit confused of what Luna could’ve possibly thought she said.

“Oh.” Luna felt her cheeks heat up out of embarrassment as she realized that her mind was playing tricks on her.

Damnit! Now I’m not only thinking dirty stuff, I’m hearing it! It’s already bad enough I clopped! I don’t need this! Shut up brain!

No, replied her brain.

Luna simply grimaced inside but she didn’t show any sign to her inner workings.

“Soooo, did you want to see it?” Derpy asked again but before Luna could give her answer, she was interrupted by a purple mare that reeked of cider.

“Heysh princess!” Berry Punch yelled in the alicorn’s ear, making Luna cringe, “Ish abouts time you gots yoursh shexy shelf here.”

The mare hiccuped and took another gulp of the bottle she held in her hoof.

“It’s nice to see you too Berry,” Luna replied while rubbing her ringing ear.

“You know you can’t take that into the store right Berry? There’s no alcohol allowed,” Derpy said in her polite manner.

“You know that won’t stop her,” a voice said from behind the trio. They all turned to the infamous couple that were Lyra and Bon Bon who both wore matching dirt green caps with UNSC labeled on them.

“Pleash,” Berry Punch said as she waved her hoof nonchalantly at the couple, “Let thems try to take my ciders away. I’lls beat their asses and rape them with my bottles,” she proclaimed proudly as she held up her bottle of cider in the air and staggered a bit.

“Uhhh yeah...let’s not let it get that far,” Derpy suggested with a sheepish smile.

Luna agreed. The last thing they needed was a raging drunk going in and destroying everypony for taking her alcohol...and raping them with a bottle.

“Hey Derps. I see the princess finally got here,” said Vinyl Scratch in her regular DJ attire, “About flippin’ time too. I thought she was bailing out on us for a moment.”

Luna smiled. “Now you know I wouldn’t miss this for anything. I’ve been waiting for this game to come out forever now.”

“Same with everypony else,” Vinyl laughed as she pointed out to the immense line that stood behind them. “I can’t tell you how hard it was just trying to hold you a spot. Some ponies were raging pretty hard about it.”

Oh..great.

She was grateful that her friends held a place for her in the front of the line, but she didn’t want it to be at the expense of others.

“Um, maybe I should go to the back then so we don’t piss anymore-”

“Nah, forget them princess,” Lyra said, standing next to her marefriend, “Bon Bon and I have been here since last night so since you’re our friend, you’ve been here with us the whole time as far as I’m concerned.”

Luna couldn’t help but conform to this twisted logic.

“So how was your day Luna? Did anypony talk about the..” the grey pegasus began to snicker, “Ice on your butt?”

Luna deadpanned inside. That was the last thing she wanted to talk about now. In all actuality, this was something she didn’t want to talk about ever.

“Wait what?” Vinyl interjected and looked at Luna with her iconic shades, “Why did you have ice on your butt?”

“I really don’t want to talk-”

“Princessh Luna been a naughtys pony huh?” Berry Punch joined in and staggered over to the princess, throwing her foreleg across the back of Luna’s neck.

“Hash you been gettings the sexshy times?”

Immediately Luna’s mind went back to last night and her sinful activity she engaged in. Her mind travelled to how good it felt to have such relief and the fantasy that played in her head while she was doing it.

Not exactly....

“Look girls, I rather not get into specifics about it okay? Just had a...small spill,” she said as she looked at Derpy and gave her a pleading look.

Derpy chuckled softly and vouched for her princess.

“Yeah, she just fell on her bum was all. At least that’s what she told me over the phone this morning.”

“That sucks. Falling on your ass is not the best feeling, I know that. It’s like when I had this stallion over and he put his thing right in my-”

“Vinyl! Please don’t tell that story again,” Bon Bon cried in shock and disgust, “That was a bit too much the first time you told it.”

“Wait what?” Derpy said with innocence, “What story? What happened?”

Bon Bon, Lyra, and even Berry Punch all looked at her with looks of ‘You don’t wanna know.’

Luna was a bit lost but this was not anything new. Her little group of friends was a very unique bunch and spoke about things that most mare’s would never discuss in public.

“Hola Princessa Luna,” a lower voice now said and a light brown stallion appeared from behind the DJ.

What the buck?

This stallion was short in stature compared to many stallions she had seen in her time. His mane was short and black along with his tail and he wore a small hoodie with some type of graffiti design on it.

But this wasn’t what had the alicorn completely creeped out.

She couldn’t see his facial features due to him wearing some creepy-ass mask that had some type of mustache on it and smiled oddly.

“Uhhh hello Perro?” she said, hoping to her stars this wasn’t Vinyl’s little friend.

“Oh hey Perro, you get the nachos I wanted?” Vinyl now asked, not seeming to be one bit disturbed by this freak.

Oh wow...it is him.

“Si. Queso extra como pediste (Yeah. Extra cheese like you asked).” he replied to the DJ.

Vinly smiled wide and swiped the nachos from his hoof and ate them like some type of ravenous predator.

“Thanks man,” Vinyl tried to say as she munched down on her nachos.

“See,” Derpy whispered beside Luna,” I told you he’s weird.”

“Yeah, the mask is kind of creeping me out,” Luna said, agreeing with her small friend.

“Hey guys, ten more minutes until Halo 4 launches!” a pony in a PonyStop uniform announced, “Please make sure you have your receipts ready!”

Finally!

Luna summoned her receipt in front of her and looked it over. Now as a hardcore player and lover of the Halo series, she wasn’t one to go and just get the bare minimum. Oh no, Luna had ordered the whole enchilada, so to speak. She had ordered the Halo 4 xbox and everything that came with it. Armor skins, map pass, weapon skins, and even all the specializations.

Derpy and the rest of the group followed suit and pulled out their receipts also.

“Time needs to goes faster,” Berry Punch declared as she threw her now empty bottle onto the ground, “I needsh to get to the bar damnit.”

Luna simply shook her head with a small smile. She was grateful that her held-in excitement and her friends little conversations were keeping her mind and eyes from wandering over to the grey pegasus that stood beside her. The last thing she needed was to get all hot and bothered again and have the urge to do, well, that.

“So are you all going to be on playing it tonight?” Lyra asked as she tried to help their drunken friend from falling for a moment.

“I am!” Derpy cheered.

“I think it’s pretty obvious with me,” Luna said with a smirk.

“Same here,”Vinyl said as she wiped cheese sauce from her mouth. The mare looked over to her DJ friend, “What about you Perro? I would love to whip your ass in some Halo.”

The stallion shook his head.

“No. Yo veo esta noche pony (No, I’m seeing some pony tonight).”

“I still don’t get what he’s saying,” Derpy said, still confused as ever to what crazy language this weirdo was speaking.

“He said he’s seeing somepony tonight. In other words, no.” Vinyl said to the confused mailmare.

“Seeing somepony?” Luna now said.

“Ooo, who?” Bon Bon and Lyra said in unison, being a pair of nosy mares.

“Yeah how about you tell us,” Vinyl added with a sly grin,”What legs are you getting in between?”

“Oh my gosh Vinyl, why do you think everypony wants to just buck each other all the time?” Lyra asked in annoyance.

“I wants to buck everypony!” Berry Punch yelled and slurred loudly, making some ponies turn to her with faces of disgust and confusion, though there were a few that showed questionable interest.

“Uhhh Berry, maybe you should keep your voice down please,” Luna said with blushed cheeks of embarrassment.

But Berry was lost in her own drunken stupor and disregarded the alicorn’s simple request.

“C’mon!” she yelled even more within the crowd, “Who wantsh some of this?!”

Berry Punch began waving her rump in the air and showing off certain parts that were not meant for public eyes.

“Bahahaha!” Vinyl wailed and fell to the ground. holding her gut from pain-wrenching laughter and forgetting her little interrogation with her friend.

Lyra and Bon Bon simply looked at each other with foalish smiles, knowing that what their drunk friend was doing was something very inappropriate.

Derpy simply looked away with violent red cheeks while Luna did the same and looked down at her friend.

“I never should have brought her with us. I knew she would be way too drunk to keep herself in control,” Derpy whispered in extreme embarrassment and maybe a bit of amusement.

“When isn’t she ever drunk though?” Luna asked with a blush of her own.

Derpy couldn’t help but let a weak smile spread across her face.

“Good point. Gosh, imagine if that was me...I would be too embarrassed to come out of my own house after doing something like that.”

Yeah...Derpy waving her rump in front of you...presenting herself for your taking, Luna.

Luna’s heart went into overdrive as soon as her damned little voice began to talk to her and put such images in her head. Her eyes now began to slowly travel down Derpy’s body and to her flank imprinted with bubbles. Her mind began to race again with images and ideas of what she would do to such a simple body part; that detested but pleasurable primal hunger began to fill her again.

No! I’m not like this! She’s not like that!

But the voice would not relent.

Oh c’mon Luna. You know you want that and you know you can have your way with her. She won’t say no. Go ahead and tell her what you want.

It was torture but tempting all at the same time. She wanted this dirty voice out of her head but it’s words were heavy with lust and wanting. This mare that stood blushing in front of her, so unaware of her detested desires.

No! I came to get my game and play. That is it! Not here to be thinking about that stuff! Now leave me alone!

“Uh oh,” Derpy said as she turned away from Luna and looked over to Berry Punch and some stallions in uniform around her but the princess’ focus was elsewhere.

Oh no! Don’t look, don’t look!

But she did. Derpy had unwittingly made the mistake of turning her back to Luna to see what was going on with Berry and now had her rump turned towards her. Luna’s eyes scanned it lustfully and the fire of wanted began to run a blaze within the alicorn.

The world began to black out around her and all that she could see now was Derpy in front of her and her bottom. Tunnel vision began to set in and she began to involuntarily raise her hoof and reach out to the grey mare’s backside.

Why deny your desires Luna? Show her how much she means to you.

Her silver hoof got closer and closer to Derpy’s rump. It was wrong, she knew this, but this primal, powerful hunger demanded that she touch this mare and tell her how much she wanted...no...needed her.

“Ma'am we’re going to have to escort you off the premises,” one of the stallions said from afar to a presenting Berry Punch.

“No! Wait!” Derpy called to them and began trotting toward them, making Luna snap out of her admiration of pony plot.

Her senses came back to reality and the world around her was back. Excited ponies talking and waiting, combined with the laughing of a still hysterical unicorn. Luna quickly realized what she was so close to do doing and quickly looked around to see if anypony had caught her almost doing such a dastardly act. Vinyl was still on the ground laughing her flank off, Perro was only looking over to at the small situation that was occurring with the purple drunk, but Lyra and Bon Bon were looking straight over to her with shocked expressions.

Oh no! They saw what....SHIT!

Lyra and Bon Bon simply stood and stared at Luna with wide eyes and mouths agape. Without thinking, Luna quickly went over to the duo.

“Please tell me you didn’t see that,” Luna said in a sort of loud hushed tone of worry.

“Princess Luna,” Lyra began, still trying to comprehend what she had just witnessed, “Were you going...” she trailed off but Bon Bon finished for her.

“Are you into Derpy like that??”

“No! I mean...I don’t know what just happened, I swear!” Luna pleaded with the couple.

The two simply stood in silence, not knowing what to really say until Lyra broke it.

“You have the hots for Derpy don’t you?”

“I don’t know!” Luna admitted as she looked back at the blonde mare that was trying to help out Berry from and to make sure that she somehow didn’t walk into this awkward conversation of theirs.

“Look, please don’t say anything to Derpy,” Luna pleaded with the two, “She’ll think I’m some perv or something.”

Bon Bon and Lyra simply looked at each other and then back at Luna with questionable smiles.

“We don’t think you’re a perv Luna. You should have seen us two before we got together,” Lyra said, trying to quell the princess’ worry.

“Wait what?” Luna asked. She had always seen these two as a couple. When were they never together?

“Yeah, I remember when I would have all those dirty thoughts about you and what you could do with a lyre,” Bon Bon added with a laugh.

Lyra simply looked at her with a playful grin and turned back to Luna.

“Princess Luna, is it okay if I ask you something concerning our dear Derpy?”

Luna looked back at her blonde friend who now had Berry the drunken mare using her as a crutch to walk while she talked to the ponies in uniform. In all honesty, she was afraid of the question that Lyra wanted to ask, for she had an idea what it would be.

Are you in love with Derpy?

This was still a question that she couldn’t even yet answer, though one thing was certain. Back a week ago she would be able to easily say no but now, she didn’t know if she could really say that she wasn’t.

“Sure,” Luna replied with hesitation.

“Have you been feeling different towards Derpy? Like, thoughts that you usually never had before? Maybe...intimate thoughts?”

Well, it wasn’t the question she thought was coming but she simply saw it as a twisting of words, but then again, maybe by answering such a question, she could get help for whatever was going on with her.Lyra and Bon Bon knew what love was obviously and maybe they had some type of remedy to quiet these thoughts and feelings within her.

Luna lowered her head and quietly gave her answer.

“Sort of.”

She was supposed to be enjoying being here and jumping up and down excitedly for this game she was waiting for but instead, here she was staring at her friends plot earlier and now talking to the two mares that had caught her and seemingly could help her with her nagging problem of lust and desire.

Lyra brought her face close to Bon Bon’s ear and began to whisper something. Bon Bon then looked at Lyra with a smile and nodded.

“Princess?” Lyra said. Luna lifted her head and looked at the unicorn.

“Would you like to come over to our house after this and maybe talk about what’s going on with you?”

Luna thought about this proposal for a moment. If she went to their house, she wouldn’t be able to play Halo 4 right after she got it, and she was planning to pwn some noobs in it but she wasn’t sure if she even could with the state of mind she was in. Who knows? What if she started playing but could only focus on the things she wanted to do to Derpy? And what about this nagging and detested little voice in her head that tried to encourage such notions? Was she really in the position to deny an offer that could possibly be her salvation from these lustful thoughts and this feeling of uncontrollable want?

She resolved and gave her answer.

“I think that would be nice just...if we are going to talk about what’s going on with me...you won’t tell Derpy right? About any of it?”

Bon Bon quelled that worry quickly.

“Of course not. Everything we talk about will only be between you and us. It’s all confidential.”

That was a relief. Luna thought more about the prospect of finally talking to somepony about all this, and she was actually beginning to feel a bit better about it. Lyra and Bon Bon were a couple and they loved each other. Who better than to help her sort her feelings out then? They would surely have an answer for all this and if they didn’t, then there really was no hope for the alicorn.

“Okay...then I’ll come over after we’re done here. Thanks guys,” Luna said with humility. When they should have scorned her and condemned for what she was about to Derpy earlier, instead they offered help and understanding.

“Oh sweet Celestia, my sides,” Vinyl said as she came from behind Luna, wiping tears away from her face. “So what are you all talking about huh?”

“Oh nothing, just telling the princess how excited we are for Halo 4 is all,” Bon Bon lied with a very convincing smile.

Vinyl looked over to Luna.

“Yeah I feel that. I’m a bit surprised at you princess.”

Luna’s heart dropped and a sudden fear rose within her. What did the DJ mean by that? Did she see too what she almost had done earlier?

“Uhh, why is that Vinyl?” Luna asked with a coy smile.

“Well seeing how excited you were when it was announced and not even near being out, I would have thought you would’ve been basically making a mess right now over it.”

“Really Vinyl?” Bon Bon scorned, “More of that sexual crap?”

“Hey! Get off my back okay? If I have to listen to you two moan and scream each other’s names for three night’s in a row, then I’m sure you can handle my shit.”

Lyra blushed and narrowed her eyes at the DJ.

“That was three months ago Vinyl and we already apologized for that...”

Vinyl simply waved her hoof at her and brought her attention back to Luna.

“So what’s going with you? I thought you’d be more excited than what you're looking like now.”

There were many things going on with her. Too many things to even count. It was everything but excitement right now and she hated it. Vinyl was completely right about how she should be acting right now. Luna should be pacing back and forth, impatient and cursing under her breath for this game to come out and how she just wanted to get her stuff so she could go play ASAP. Hell, maybe Vinyl was right about how she should be having wet messes right now over such an event but instead, her mind was clouded and occupied with Derpy and why she was now having all these pervy thoughts and desires for her best friend.

“I’m excited,” Luna said in the fakest excited tone she could give, “Just waiting is killing me right now is all.”

Vinyl accepted this answer with a wicked smile.

“Well, we could always get those paintball guns of yours like we did to get those pic-” but Luna immediately shut Vinyl's mouth with her hoof.

“Yeahhhhh! Let’s not do that okay?” Luna hastily said.

“Okay girls, I got our dear drunk friend here.”

The group turned their attention to Derpy who was now holding up Berry Punch and trying to keep the mare from falling over.

“So what was all that about Derpy?” Bon Bon asked.

Derpy rolled her crossed eyes.

“It was security and they were going to escort her and probably put her in holding for showing off her filly parts if I hadn’t promised them I would keep her under control. Isn’t that right Berry?”

Berry simply looked over to the grey mare and hiccuped.

“Thosh security stallions whatever's totally wanted to tap this.”

“Damn right Berry! I would totally tap that drunk ass of yours,” Vinyl laughed as she took Luna’s hoof away from her mouth.

There must be a reason these two get along so well.... Luna thought with sarcasm.

“I’m sure they did Berry but I think that you need to go home and get some rest. Just give me your receipt and I’ll pick up your copy for you okay?” Derpy insisted.

“Ish go to the bar first?” the purple mare asked as her eyes began to droop down.

“Here Derps, I’ll take her home,” Vinyl said as went up and put Berry’s foreleg over her shoulder and began to hold the mare up.

“Hey Perro!” she called out.

“Hmm?” he replied though he seemed to keep his distance from the DJ, maybe to avoid another interrogation.

“Take my receipt and get my copy for me will ya? Just bring it to me tomorrow before you go to Manehatten.”

The stallion nodded and Vinyl summoned her receipt with her magic and levitated the small paper over to him.

“I’ll see you all later. Gonna get this sexual deviant home,” Vinyl chuckled.

Lyra and Bon Bon simply face-hoofed at the same time while Luna and Derpy simply waved goodbye to the unique musician.

“So besides all that, these guys need to hurry up and open these doors. I’m ready to get down on some Spartan Ops,” Derpy said as she flapped her wings a little bit.

It seems Derpy’s wish was going to be answered.

“Bueno, no mires ahora, pero estamos abriendo las puertas (Well, don’t look now, but they’re opening the doors).”

The small group of friends looked at him oddly, seeing that now that Vinyl was gone, they didn’t understand what the hay he was saying, all for the exception of Luna of course, but they soon realized what he was talking about as soon as they saw the three glass doors open in front of them. The doors began to open; it was like the very gates of hayven being unlocked and ponies began to cheer.

A mare came out with a megaphone and began to speak.

“Okay everypony, please listen! We need you all to make three lines for us so we can make this smooth and quick for all you. I know how much you all want to get back home and get it on with your xbox so please listen. If you are getting the standard copy of Halo 4, please make a line at the left door.”

Ponies began to shuffle and scurry as they followed the employee’s directions.

“Well, that’s us,” Lyra said to Bon Bon with a smile. The couple began to trot over to their respective line and waved at the them.

“See you guys online,” Lyra called out as they made their way to the giant line that was forming but the mare looked over to Luna and winked at her. Luna simply smiled nervously at her and waved back.

“See you later Lyra. Bon Bon!” Derpy called out back to them.

The employee began to speak again.

“If you have ordered the limited edition of Halo 4, please make a line at the right door!”

Perro began to make his way to that line.

“Well, guess I’m going with the creepy guy,” Derpy whispered with a bit of disdain.

“Wait what? Luna asked, a bit shocked from what she was hearing, “I thought you got the xbox bundle too?”

Derpy looked up to her with those beautiful blonde eyes of hers, making Luna suppress with all her willpower the images that wanted to take hold of her mind.

“No, too many bits for me. I went and got the limited edition. As long as I get those cool armor skins, I’m happy,” she said with a grin.

“Of course,” Luna said with a bit of nervousness of what her mind was trying to do to her, “Well, you better get in line before it’s too late my friend.”

Derpy thankfully agreed and wasted no time.

“Yeah. I’ll see you online later tonight right?” Derpy asked with hope.

“Of course,” Luna simply replied, “Just I might be a bit before I am is all. Have to deal with...”

Deal with how much you want this mare Luna?Maybe dealing with yourself about denying what you already know to be true?

“...some royal matters,” Luna said, trying to ignore her mental torture.

“Alright then. Maybe I can get to a higher rank than you and stay up there for once,” Derpy laughed.

Luna mimicked her laugh but she wasn’t really in the mood for such jestering right now.

“You know I can’t let that happen.”

Derpy rolled her eyes playfully.

“I know Luna. Well, I’m off. I’m just going to go get in that line. Talk to you later alright?”

Luna nodded.

“Yep, see you on Live.”

Derpy nodded back and trotted over to her respective line. Luna wanted to watch her friend go but she dared not risk what happened earlier. She no longer trusted her own eyes and simply just stared off into space while the employee began to give directions again over her megaphone.

“Alright, last but not least, if you have ordered the Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox, please make a line at the center door. You guys will be going in first so please make a quick and orderly line! Thanks!”

That’s me...

Luna brought her receipt to her face and read over the contents; Premium weapon and armor skins, early unlocks to specializations, avatar items (not that she cared much for them), limited edition of Halo 4, and of course the badass xbox...so why was she now looking at this and not getting that excitement she always got when a new game came out?

Granted, she still wanted this game but this was not the usual feeling she would get at such events. She would be all over the place and drooling by now but instead she felt underwhelmed by all this.

Derpy...

But when she would look at Derpy, that excitement that was focused on games and such were now being brought forth not by items, but by this mare that she still didn’t dare look at over in the other line. She knew she wasn’t losing her passion of gaming and wouldn’t give it up for anything but something was definitely not right here.

Hopefully Lyra and Bon Bon can expel all of this outta me somehow...

She could only hope right? Luna only hoped that Lyra and Bon Bon could somehow explain what was going on with her and be able to help her be rid of it so that she may go back to the normalcy she had with Derpy before last week.

Vinyl knows that there’s pictures, my sister thinks I want to buck Derpy into the next century, and now Lyra and Bon Bon almost saw me basically grab her ass! I have to stop this before everypony and their mother hears about all this.

Luna couldn’t have anymore ponies thinking she had something for Derpy when she didn’t even know if she did or not. It had to end and there was only one way to do it.

She needed to know once and for all the answer to the sacred and dreaded question that plagued her for what seemed like eternity.

Did Princess Luna love Derpy Hooves?

Tonight, she would find out the answer.

Level 15

A Derped Love

Part 1

Later that night, residence of Bon Bon and Lyra...

This was a bad idea. How am I going to talk about this when I don’t even know what to say!?

Luna bit her lower lip as she tried to calm her rampant thoughts of doubt. She knew she needed to do this and that Lyra and Bon Bon would know much more than she about the subject of love, considering that they both were in love with each other. Regardless, she couldn’t help it. Never in her immortal life had she actually had to have such a talk about something like this.

At least they’re taking their time in there... hate for them to see how nervous I am right now.

The alicorn was alone, fortunately for her, as Bon Bon and Lyra were in the kitchen setting up some snack and drinks that they all could enjoy while they had their ‘small discussion’, as Lyra put it.

But this was far from small for Luna. She would actually rather deal with her sister’s antics or even fight Discord again over having this talk.

Look, just don’t think about it. Just...just look at stuff or something. Just try and relax.

Luna took a deep breath and tried to do just that, now doing her best to keep her thoughts silent. She looked around the living room she sat in and took in the scenery, trying to get her mind off of her current situation.

There was a large glass table that sat in front of her with a small red candle in the middle of it that Lyra had taken the liberty of lighting earlier. It had a pleasant smell of cherry and maybe a hint of strawberry. Luna wasn’t sure, but it was pleasing nonetheless.

The regal now brought her attention over to the large, flat screen television that stood proudly on a black table, along with an Xbox, PS3, and Nintendo 64. Controllers and gaming accessories were placed neatly atop the black table next to their respective consoles and Luna could only admire how organized the two were.

Wonder what games they have.

Luna looked around the living room for any type of shelf or holder of some sort but didn’t find any, but instead her eyes now began to wander over to the numerous pictures that were hung on the walls.

Pictures of the two mares were aplenty and Luna couldn’t hold back a small smile. There was a picture with Lyra making a funny face while Bon Bon did the same. Another picture showed Lyra with some type of clothing, making Luna blush a bit. She noticed that the musical mare was wearing white panties with her legs spread out a bit, but what was unknown to the alicorn was the article of clothing that Lyra was holding in her hoof. It had what looked like two bulbs that were next to each other with straps on each side.

Is that...is that for her chest or something? Luna wondered as she narrowed her eyes a bit.

She studied the item a bit more but nothing came to her mind. She was at a complete loss for it, but it seemed she wasn’t the only one. Luna took notice of Bon Bon in the same picture, who was holding her head in what looked like dismay. Luna didn’t know if it was because of the questionable clothing or the rather...suggestive.... position that Lyra was in.

Gosh, looks like something my sister would do.

Luna looked over a few more pictures, some making her laugh a bit, and others that made her smile and feel happy for the two. It was obvious to Luna that these two loved each other and they had no problem showing it to others that entered their humble home.

That could be you Luna. Those pictures...that could be you and Derpy...if you let it.

“Oh no...please not now,” Luna whispered to herself, bringing her hoof and her attention to her head.

Why are you even here Luna? You already know the answer to your question. Why not just go to Derpy and tell her?

“Can you just go away or something? This is not the time for you...or me...or whatever you are to be talking,” Luna said quietly to her own little voice.

I’m just telling you what you already know. You’re making this so much more complicated than it already is. Just admit that you-

“I don’t know!” Luna exclaimed in a somewhat hushed tone, “That’s why I’m here. I’m going to get this figured out once and for all okay?”

Hmmm...funny.

“What’s funny?” Luna asked her mind, forgetting that Lyra and Bon Bon could walk up on her any moment and see her talking to herself.

Before when I told you that you loved Derpy, you would say no and that you didn’t. Now, here you are, saying that you’re not sure anymore. It’s funny Luna.

Luna grimaced. Her pesky voice had a point. Before she would downright say that there was no way she could be in love with her best friend and leave it at that. Now here she was, asking for the help, or rather being offered the help, of two other friends to help decide if she really was in love with Derpy. Was she really this desperate? Was she really that lost within in her own feelings and thoughts about Derpy that she went from being one hundred and ten percent sure to not even knowing what she felt?

So what will you do Luna? What if they say that you are in love with her? Then what? Will you deny it like you have been this whole time or will you accept it and tell-

“I don’t know!” Luna yelled, jumping onto all four hooves, “I just don’t know okay?! Now shut up and get out of my head!”

“Princess?”

Luna spun her head around and saw Bon Bon and Lyra poking their heads out of the door of the kitchen with expressions of confusion.

“Hey, you okay? We heard you yelling about something,” Lyra said, making Luna blush violently out of embarrassment.

Great...they catch me almost grabbing Derpy’s ass and now this. Bucking great Luna.

“Uh yes, I’m fine...errr,” she paused, trying to think of some good reason why she was yelling...at herself.

But it wouldn’t be needed.

“Okay then,” Bon Bon said with a smile, “Well, give us just a few more seconds and we will be right out with the snacks and drinks.”

“Uhh, right, yeah. I’ll just be right here...” Luna answered nervously, her face still red with embarrassment as she took her seat on the couch once again.

The two mares disappeared back into the kitchen and Luna began to scorn herself for making herself look weird...again.

Within a few moments, Lyra and Bon Bon came walking out of the kitchen and into the living room with their food. A large silver tray surrounded in a light, bluish aura, floated in the air and was gently set down on the glass table.

“Sorry we took a bit princess. We didn’t know what you liked to snack on so we just put a few things together, if that’s okay,” Bon Bon said with a cheesy smile as Lyra placed the tray with her magic.

Luna inspected the goods. A giant bowl sat on the try with a variety of snacks mixed in it. There were cheesy Doritos lining the inside of the dish in a circle and in the middle of the chips was a center filled with candies that ranged from chocolate to gummy changeling candies. It was enough to make one with a sweet tooth go nuts from such sugary goodness.

“Wow, this looks really good,” Luna complimented.

“See, I told you that she would like it. All that stress for nothing,” Lyra laughed at Bon Bon, making the cream colored mare shoot a look of ‘whatever’ at her.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to stress you out about something like this Bon Bon,” Luna now said, feeling a bit bad that she had unwittingly put a burden on the mare.

Bon Bon looked over to her with a gentle smile.

“Oh no! It’s no problem at all, it’s just I always try to provide for our guests as well as I can. I do it to myself so don’t worry about it princess.”

“Okay, well we're not here to talk about how to provide hospitality and stuff Bon Bon. Princess Luna needs our help with Derpy.”

Oh shit...here we go.

Luna dropped her head a little and felt her stomach turn into butterflies and her throat choke up a bit. She knew she needed this and she repeated how important it was that she did, but the anxiety was not something she could control. She hated having this feeling and wished that maybe she could prolong this simple discussion somehow. There was even a quick thought about possibly taking a different day to talk about all this.

Luna knew though that it had to be done here and now or it would never happen, and these confusing feelings towards Derpy would continue to plague her and cause her to do something to the innocent mare that she might regret.

She watched as Lyra made two chairs appear with her magic and they both took their seats on the other side of the glass table, now making it look like it was some type of intervention or something.

Okay...just keep calm. They’re here to help. They’re my friends and they just want to help me make sense of all this...

Her breathing quickened and she started to notice that she was trembling a bit.

Relax damnit! We’re just talking about Derpy...just her.

“So princess,” Lyra began, making Luna shoot her head straight up in attention, “Are you sure you want to talk about this? Bon Bon and I here know that it can be a little nerve-wracking to talk to your friends about something like this, so we don’t want you to feel like we’re forcing you or anything. When I had the hots for Bon Bon here, I almost shat myself trying to explain how I felt to one of my friends.”

No! No I don’t want to talk about this! I just want these damn feelings and stuff to go away!

“No...I mean, I am a bit nervous,” Luna admitted as her mind screamed and wailed to her about how she didn’t want to do this now, “But I need to talk about this.”

Lyra nodded and looked over to Bon Bon, signaling her to begin the discussion.

“We understand. Now, if there is something we ask that you don’t want to answer, then all you have to do is tell us that you would rather not talk about it and we won’t push it, okay?”

Luna simply nodded as she bit down on her tongue, trying to somehow quell this nervousness within her.

“So when did you start having the hots for Derpy?” Lyra asked as she took a chip and began munching on it.

Luna swallowed hard and quickly took a piece of candy from the bowl, gobbling it down in a hurry.

“Last week, after our sleepover,” Luna answered.

“You mean those gaming sleepovers you two have?” Bon Bon now asked with curiosity.

Luna nodded quickly.

“Yeah, Derpy comes over to the castle every Saturday and stays the night. I call it the Royal Pwnage of Noobs Nights and all we do is just play online and stuff.”

“And stuff?” Lyra added in.

Luna looked at the unicorn for a moment, trying to see what she meant by it but then quickly understood what she was implying.

“I mean as in like talking and hanging out, Lyra,” Luna said firmly, making it clear that none of that was happening between her and Derpy.

Lyra gave a sly smirk.

“Well, you're doing much better than I did whenever I had sleepovers with Octavia.”

“Oh gosh, please Lyra, let’s not get into those stories. We’re here to listen to the princess, not the other way around,” Bon Bon said with dismay as she held her head with her hoof.

Lyra simply shrugged and whispered over to Luna.

“She can be a bit uptight at times, don’t mind her.”

That was more obvious to Luna. In fact, this was obvious to anypony that really knew these two lovers. Bon Bon was known as the more ‘down to Equestria’ pony while Lyra was seen more as the open pony...perhaps a little too open. Now she wasn’t near the level of her sister, and not nearly as crude as a certain DJ they all knew, but she definitely had her moments.

“Okay, so anyways,” Bon Bon continued as her marefriend chuckled a bit at her, “Did something happen during the sleepover from last week to maybe see her differently?”

“You know, like a kiss or make-out? Maybe 69?” Lyra added with a raised eyebrows and a smile.

“Stop it Lyra,” Bon Bon snapped at her.

Luna looked away for a moment as she thought about what she was going to say. She recalled how they both decided to sleep together, as friends of course, and how it ended up with Derpy snuggled muzzle-first into her chest.

How could she have forgotten? How could she forget the warm feeling she had in her chest when she felt the small mare against her, snuggled into her embrace? How could she forget how her heart seemed to beam inside when she was holding her, as if she wanted Derpy close to her?

That was the problem though. Luna wanted to forget and just be normal again. She wanted release from these wonderful feelings, for they were the cause of her abnormal actions. The clopping, the urge to grab the mare’s bottom, and the kiss she wanted to give her back when Derpy had to leave the next day. She wanted them all gone before they somehow overwhelmed her and possibly cost her her friendship with the mailmare.

“Well...we were both a bit tired from gaming and decided to go to sleep but..” Luna paused as the memory began to replay in her head.

“How about we both sleep on the bed? I mean unless you don’t want to, that’s fine..I..just...um...didn’t want you to sleep on the floor while I slept in your bed.”

“Princess Luna?” both mares asked, noticing that Luna had stopped.

Luna quickly brought herself to her senses and quickly continued, trying to ward off any suspicion that she was losing herself within her own mind.

“Sorry...anyways, we were both tired and so we decided to go to bed. I was going to sleep in my sleeping bag and have Derpy sleep in my bed. You know, since she was my guest and we always did that, but then she suggested that-”

“That you sleep in your bed together right?” Bon Bon interrupted, making Luna look straight at her with sudden shock and confusion.

Lyra immediately turned to her marefriend and shot a look of ‘WTF’.

“Yeah...she did say that but...how did you know that Bon Bon?” Luna asked, boggled by how Bon Bon could know such a detail.

Bon Bon’s eyes darted over to Lyra and back at Luna as small beads of sweat began to form over her forehead.

“Hey, uhhh, how about you get us some drinks Bon Bon, yeah?” Lyra said hastily, now seeming even more nervous than Bon Bon.

“Errr, yeah! Yeah, I’ll get some drinks for all of this. Be right back!” Bon Bon said loudly and quickly trotted into the kitchen.

Luna looked over to Lyra who now stared back at her with deadly focus.

“Uhhh, how did she know that?”

“Who? You mean Bon Bon?” Lyra said with a cheesy smile.

Luna slowly nodded her head, trying to figure out how the mare knew that.

“Well yeah. I didn’t tell anypony what happened that night, unless Derpy told you.”

That had to be the only way. Derpy had to have said something about that night for Bon Bon to know such a thing.

“Derpy? Nah, she doesn't tell us nothing about those nights you two have. I mean, Bon Bon is a pretty smart girl so she probably just figured it is all.”

Luna didn’t know how smart Bon Bon was, nor that she was saying that she was stupid either, but that was almost too dead on for it to be a coincidence.

Something isn’t right here...that was more than a lucky guess.

“So, uhhh, right, let’s get back to you now princess. You said that’s when you think it started; the weird feelings and stuff?” Lyra said, seemingly trying to prevent anymore questions about that earlier moment.

Maybe I’m just overthinking. I guess anypony could’ve guessed that...still...

The regal let her earlier thought go but was now a little concerned why these two had suddenly gotten so nervous. Regardless, she continued on, as she still kept in mind of why she was here.

“Yeah. That’s when it all started.”

“Well, could you explain the feelings you were having.”

Luna didn’t know how to really explain her feelings from that point. They were too confusing for her and she didn’t know what words were adequate to explain such emotions.

“Um, I really don’t know how to explain them, just that they made me feel real...warm...and good.”

That’s the best I come up with?! I sound like a complete foal!

“What about thoughts?” Lyra asked, now a bit more calm.

Luna didn’t want to say. Her thoughts was not something she wanted to disclose with somepony, afraid that if she revealed them, she would be viewed as some type of freak or sick abomination. She didn’t want to have to explain the numerous fantasies that she had about Derpy, especially about the things that happened in them.

I don’t have to tell her all that.

“Well...they’re not like bad thoughts about her or anything...just a bit...”

Amazing.

“...new.”

Lyra eyed her for a moment before taking a chip and popping it into her mouth. Luna didn’t want to look Lyra in the eyes and possibly risk being figured out about what exactly these thoughts and fantasies were.

“You have sexual fantasies about her, don’t you?” Lyra asked with no shame apparent in her voice.

Just say no...just say-

Luna nodded her head, keeping her eyes now to the ground. She felt shameful and she believed that she should be scorned for having such lustful thoughts of the grey mare. This was not befitting for one such as her. She had no interest in sex and even convinced herself that the act was even disgusting.

Yet, seeing it happen with Derpy seemed the very contrary. It didn’t sound disgusting or revolting, but blissful and beautiful. It seemed like almost a paradise that she wanted to experience.

“Hmmm,” Luna heard Lyra muse and looked up to see the mare rubbing her chin with her hoof.

“I’m sorry Lyra,” Luna said in a panicked tone, fearing that she had just screwed up somehow, “I know it’s wrong to have thoughts like that and I’m trying to get rid of them and stuff but-”

“Wait.”

Luna ceased her panicked rambling.

“There’s nothing wrong with what you feel and your fantasies. I’m just wondering why you would want to get rid of them?”

Why not? Was this not the very reason she was here? To be rid of her sinful thoughts and desires for Derpy?

“Because now I can’t do anything without somehow thinking of Derpy. You saw what happened earlier,” Luna said, now becoming slightly annoyed with Lyra’s question, “I can’t even look at her without wanting to put my hooves all over her.”

Lyra simply chuckled at her and playfully rolled her eyes.

“Hey, it’s fine princess. Nothing wrong with wanting to get a little action from a pony you like.”

“But that’s it!” Luna exclaimed, trying to get her point across, “I don’t want any action with my best friend like that! This is why I’m talking to you about it. I need to know how to get rid of these damn feelings!”

That’s all she wanted. Luna didn’t know of love or even the feeling of wanting somepony in an intimate way. These were feelings she wanted purged from her being and it annoyed the regal that Lyra saw nothing wrong with this.

The unicorn simply shook her head with a smile.

“You can’t make them go away princess. What you’re feeling is not something that can just be turned off and forgotten.”

Luna grimaced inside as she heard that answer. That was exactly what she was hoping to try and do, but it now brought the question that she needed answered. The question that she needed answered once and for all.

“What am I feeling then?”

Lyra grinned and lifted herself from her chair, putting her hoof on Luna’s shoulder.

“You’re in love Luna. You’re in love with Derpy.”

Luna stared at Lyra with a blank look on her face but the words resonated in her head. Her heart pounded against her chest and her body began to feel...good.

I’m in love with Derpy...

“But...but how can you be so sure?” Luna now asked, letting her doubt resurface within her.

The words sounded nice...well...more than nice, but the alicorn didn’t understand how Lyra could come to such a conclusion so quickly.

“Well, not to blow my own horn or anything, but I know when a mare digs a pony and based on what you told me and how you feel when you think and see Derpy, I think it’s safe to say that you are head over hoof for her.”

“But how? Why now? If I’m in love with her as you say, why didn’t I feel like this when I met her?”

Luna didn’t understand such a concept. She thought love was some type of instant feeling that happened when you met somepony. Not that she would know from experience or anything, but that’s at least what movies and books have told her.

“You’ve been watching too many romance movies, huh?” Lyra laughed, “That whole ‘love at first sight’ thing is complete BS. It takes time for a pony to really know and love another.”

The alicorn pondered this for a moment. Her and Derpy had been friends for awhile and it was safe to assume that they knew each other pretty well. She knew that Derpy would do anything for her without question, even to the point of giving up gaming if she had to. But was that really because she had a romantic love for her, or was that because Derpy was simply her best friend?

“How about I ask you this,” Lyra began, now taking a seat beside Luna, “ If Derpy came up to you right now and just planted a kiss on you and told you that she loved you, what would you do?”

The alicorn’s heart froze as her mind imagined such a scene.

She could visualize herself alone with the mailmare and looking into those big, gold derped eyes. Her inner eye could see the mare’s face come close to hers, close enough to the point that she could feel her hot breath brush against her lips.

“I need to tell you something Luna. Something that I been wanting to say for awhile now,” Derpy said in a gentle voice.

Luna’s cheeks felt hot and her body tingled from having Derpy so close to her.

“Y-yes Derpy?” Luna replied warily.

Derpy smiled sheepishly but didn’t take her gaze off the alicorn.

“You and I have been friends for awhile now Luna, and I enjoy being your friend. I like playing games with you and just...well...being around you...a lot.”

“As do I, but I don’t see what you’re trying to tell me.”

Derpy chuckled a bit and her cheeks turned to a slight shade of crimson.

“Maybe it’s better that I...show you.”

Without hesitation and with force and determination, she felt a pair of grey lips meet hers. Luna’s eyes shot open for a moment but her shock was short lived. Without even realizing it, Luna closed her eyes and kissed this wonderful pony back. She brought her foreleg around Derpy and brought her into her embrace until they were chest to chest, indulging in each other.

“Princess?”

Derpy pulled away and looked into Luna’s teal eyes. The regal did the same and looked back at her. They both breathed hard and their faces shared a violent hue of pleasurable red.

“D-Derpy?” Luna stuttered, her mind still lost in bliss and euphoric pleasure.

Derpy smiled gently and brought her hoof up to Luna’s face, gently caressing her dark cheek.

“I love you Princess Luna.”

“Princess Luna?”

“I...” but she couldn’t finish her sentence. Luna felt her throat choke up and she felt something well up inside her. It made her heart beat vigorously and made her very body tremble. It was such an intense feeling that she didn’t know how to describe it. She felt happy but it was something more that just that. She felt...joy.

“Do you feel the same about me?” Derpy asked her, still holding that loving smile on her face

Luna put her silver hoof up and ran it through Derpy’s blonde mane, not once taking her eyes off the mare.

She knew her answer.

“I love you too...”

“Uhhhh, princess?”

Princess Luna snapped out of her imagination and realized what she was doing. Lyra was staring at her with a coy smile and the regal noticed how close she was now. Her foreleg was wrapped around the unicorn and her face was dangerously close.

“Did I...?” Luna said, now fearing that she had just played out her imaginary scene.

“Um...well...” Lyra nervously laughed, “You tried to kiss me but I, uh, kind of deflected it with a pillow.”

Luna’s face completely flushed and she quickly scooted away from Lyra.

“Oh my gosh,” Luna said, covering her face with her hooves, “I’m so sorry Lyra...I didn’t mean to...I just...”

She felt her body go cold and her mind went into a panic.

“Hey, uh, it’s okay. I know you weren’t actually trying to do that. You just got a bit...carried away,” Lyra said, trying to reassure her ruler, but it was of no use and the regal continued her panicked apologies.

“I didn’t mean to Lyra, I swear! It’s just that I get these images in my head and then I forget where I’m at then-”

Lyra gently placed her hoof over Luna’s mouth with a wide smile.

“It’s alright, but do you now see it? You really are in love with Derpy.”

Wait...I said that I loved her?

Luna’s panic and worry instantly left her mind as this realization set in. She did as Lyra instructed, and imagined Derpy kissing her and telling her that she loved her and in turn, she replied with an answer of love back.

“I-I do love her,” Luna whispered to herself.

“And now you have to accept it Luna,” Lyra said in a firm but gentle tone, “You’ve been denying your love for her and this is why your feelings and thoughts are screwing with you. It’s eating you up inside because you’re trying to lie to yourself and say that you’re not in love with her.”

This was the answer.

Luna knew, and even felt, that what Lyra was saying was the truth. It was as if this unicorn could see right through her and tell her the words that needed to be said. This whole time she had been trying to tell herself that she wasn’t in love with her best friend, and tried to bury it in a lie of denial. It wasn’t her feelings that were causing all this trouble within her, but her own ignorance and unwillingness to accept what they were.

But she knew now.

Princess Luna was in love with Derpy Hooves.

“You’re right.This whole time I’ve been trying to get rid of my feelings for her but I’ve only been making it worse. I...”

She paused for a moment and took a deep breath, closing her teal eyes.

Do you love her Luna? Can you finally accept your feelings and embrace them? Can you accept that you want Derpy more than just a simple friend?

Luna smiled and lifted her head, and with confidence, answered her own small voice with her answer.

Yes.

“I love her and I accept that,” Luna declared to Lyra happily.

“Happy to hear that,” Lyra answered as she got up from the couch and made her way to the kitchen door, “Now just gimme a quick moment so I can check on what’s going on with Bon Bon...”

Luna smiled. The constant worry and fret about keeping her feelings in check now seemed to have dissipated and was replaced by a small joy that made her heart beam. That warm and fuzzy feeling that she had tried to explain earlier now filled her body and she couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.

This was the solution the whole time? To just accept my feelings for her?

The regal felt stupid but yet happy that she now knew that it wasn’t wrong to have feelings and thoughts for a friend the way she did.

It was simply because she loved her more than a friend. This is what love was...and Luna accepted it with the help of her friend.

“Lyra wait,” Luna said, getting up from the couch and turning to the unicorn, now wanting to say something before the mare went to check on her lover.

Lyra had her hoof on the door and turned to meet Luna’s gaze.

“Yeah princess?”

“Thank you.”

Lyra smiled in response.

“It’s no problem Luna, but I don’t think you should thank me just yet.”

Luna raised her brow, a bit thrown off by this. She now knew that she loved Derpy and wanted her as more than a friend. Was this not good? Was this not Lyra’s goal when they were speaking?

“Uhhh, what do you mean? I know that I love Derpy now...sooo...what else is there?”

Lyra opened the kitchen door and looked back at Luna with a sympathetic smile.

“The hard part.”

“The hard part? What hard part?” Luna asked, completely lost at what more had to be discussed.

Lyra shook her head and gave her answer, and her reply was one that turned that warm, fuzzy feeling inside of Luna into a cold, almost grave one.

“Telling Derpy.”

“The hard part? What hard part?”

Lyra looked over to Luna before opening the door to the kitchen and shook her head with an innocent smile and chuckle, maybe a bit amused by Luna’s question.

“Telling Derpy.”

The regal’s mouth instantly dropped and her eyes shot wide in utter bewilderment.The warm feeling that filled her body and heart from realizing and accepting her love for Derpy was instantly swept away and replaced by a grave, bone-chilling cold.

“T-t-tell Derpy?!” she blurted and stuttered as if this was some type of taboo or what not.

“Well yeah,” Lyra answered nonchalantly, not really seeing what she had done to her ruler, “Now that you know you love her, you got to tell her how you feel and-”

“No!” Luna yelled as she dashed over to Lyra and pressed her muzzle against the unicorns, “I can’t tell Derpy I love her! You didn’t tell me that I had to do that too!”

Lyra stared back into her teal eyes with a nervous smile as she began to back up into the kitchen door, trying to regain her personal space from a nerve-wrecked Luna.

“Well, uh, I kinda just did and assumed that you would already know that,” Lyra answered with innocence.

Luna quickly backed away and began pacing back and forth in the couple’s living room. Her heart and mind was in a frenzy of fear and anxiety. Lyra didn’t understand that her princess was completely new to such feelings and didn’t know that she had to reveal them to the one of interest. Luna was under the impression that she just needed to accept them and admit that she was indeed in love with her friend, not to actually make them know to the mare.

I can’t tell Derpy! What the buck is she thinking?! Derpy will think I’m crazy or something!

“Uh princess, are you okay?” Lyra asked cautiously as Luna paced back and forth with a face of extreme worry.

“No, I’m not okay!” Luna exclaimed, “If I tell Derpy I love her, she will think I’m some type of perv or creep!”

Now Luna didn’t really think that Derpy would go off and say that she was a freak of some type by admitting her love for her, it was simply her frantic mind coming up with reason after reason about why she couldn’t tell Derpy, but there was a hidden fear within her heart that was now slowly being realized by the alicorn.

Derpy and Luna were best friends, nothing more, nothing less, but now her heart ached for more from the mare. She now didn’t want Derpy as just her best friend, but as her friend and lover.

But what about Derpy?

Just because she desired more from the mare didn’t mean Derpy wanted more from Luna. Why would she? Derpy never expressed any type of wanting of a special somepony or a romantic relationship before and Luna always assumed that she had no interest in such things, just as she did.

Derpy wouldn’t want to be with me! Why would she?! Why would anypony want to be with me?!

Doubt after doubt ran through her head. Luna was more than aware of her flaws and knew they were numerous. She wasn’t the most attractive compared to her sister and other mares she had seen, she had a temper that most would consider frightening at times, and the biggest one being that she was once bent on having everlasting night.

“Now I’m sure Derpy wouldn’t think that princess,” Lyra responded, though she was now becoming a bit worried about how extreme Luna’s anxiety and worry was becoming, “She’s your friend and wouldn’t think stuff like that. Who knows, maybe she actually has feelings for you too.”

Immediately the rampant thoughts of self-destructing truths came to a halt. Luna ceased her pacing and and looked at Lyra who was still standing near the kitchen door.

“Feelings for me? But why?”

“Why not?” Lyra quickly responded with a small smile, seemingly pleased that she had calmed the frantic princess for a moment, “You really just can’t assume she doesn't.

“But I can’t assume that she does either,” Luna said, “If she did, she would’ve told me by now.”

She would’ve told me if she did...right?

Luna now questioned if Derpy really would tell her if she had romantic feelings for her. Everypony had their secrets, including Luna, but her and Derpy knew each other from their favorite colors to even how they got their cutie marks. Would Derpy keep such feelings a secret from her though? What was to make her think she wouldn’t? Luna herself had kept many secrets from her in the past week; the pictures, the desires for her, the clopping, and even as far as the deal she made with Celestia if she lost her small gaming match against her and her student, and this was just a few among the plenty she kept.

What would keep Derpy from doing the same?

“Well how about this princess, I’m going to go in the kitchen and see what Bon Bon is doing and while I’m doing that, you just take a seat and try to relax and then all three of us can talk about this, alright?”

That sounded more than a good idea for the regal.

“Okay-yeah-I should do that. Sorry for holding you up Lyra,” Luna apologized, now realizing the scene that she was making over this.

“It’s alright princess. Just take some time to relax and I’ll be right back.”

And with that, the unicorn entered the kitchen and closed the door behind her, leaving Luna by herself once again. She sighed softly and went over to the white couch and did what her friend asked. She sat herself on the soft cushions and stared down at the carpeted floor, trying to think rationally about all this.

I don’t have to tell Derpy. Maybe I could just keep this all to myself...

But her thought quickly trailed off and she now wondered what would happen if she did just keep these feelings to herself. She had came to accept them for her friend and maybe it didn’t require more. Maybe the thoughts and desires would slowly go away if she simply kept her feelings hidden from the mare.

But would doing that make it worse?

And then there was the other side that told her that it would only make things worse. What if there was no way in avoiding telling Derpy that she loved her? What if the daydreams and urges became actually worse than before and she end up doing something that she would regret?

“This is so bucking confusing,” Luna murmered to herself as she held her head in her hooves.

She was beginning to hate being in love. Wasn’t love something to enjoy, something to revel in like in movies and video games? There were too many things at risk and too many outcomes that could play out for her, and many of them seemed to end badly in her mind.

“Hey.”

Luna spun her head around to see Lyra and Bon Bon now out of the kitchen and making their way over to her.

“Oh, hi Bon Bon. Everything well in the kitchen?” Luna asked, trying to keep her mind and the center of attention off her little scene with Lyra from earlier.

“Oh, uh, yeah, just a glass fell out one of the cabinets was all,” Bon Bon laughed nervously.

“The cabinets?” Luna now questioned with a raised brow, “How did the glass fall out of the cabinet if it was in it?”

“Uhhhhh....” Bon Bon uttered, now seemingly at a loss for such a simple question, but her marefriend quickly stepped in.

“We have bad cabinets princess. Not really reliable things you know? Bon Bon and I are going to get new ones here soon,” Lyra said hastily.

What? Bad cabinets? Those exist?

There was an awkward silence for a few moments as the two mares stood across the glass table from Luna and the regal simply stared at them, wondering why they were acting a bit off from her question...again.

“So! How about we get this whole telling Derpy thing out of the way, yeah?” Bon Bon awkwardly blurted with a cheesy smile.

The two mares took their seats and quickly began the conversation, not giving Luna really time to comprehend and analyze what had just happened.

“So have you thought about how’re going to tell Derpy?” Bon Bon asked, still holding a forced smile and probably hoping for the regal to not mention anything further about their confusing moment a few seconds ago.

“No,” Luna began, now letting her mind focus on the situation at hoof(God, I really just typed that), “Because I don’t plan on telling her.”

“Yeah, I heard that from outside the kitchen,” Bon Bon chuckled, making Luna’s cheeks turn slightly red from embarrassment.

“Yeah. Sorry about that, I really didn’t mean to, its just I didn’t think I actually had to tell her,” Luna said meekly.

Her stomach turned and it felt like her insides were tying themselves into knots. In a way, she felt she should’ve known that she would have to tell Derpy but the very concept of telling how she truly felt about the mare was scary, frightening even.

“Yeah, I can understand that princess, but just because you realized you love her, as Lyra had explained to me, doesn't mean that the feelings and thoughts are going to stop.”

Luna hung her head and stared at the carpeted floor once again. She had a good feeling that she was going to hear that and she was now despising past events. The alicorn wished now that she never agreed to sleep with her friend that night and just stuck to her sleeping bag idea. Somehow the regal felt that this could’ve all been prevented if she had simply not given into the idea but something inside her told her otherwise.

Do you think it would’ve changed anything Luna?

Would it? Would these feelings have stayed hidden, never to be realized, or was it bound to happen? She didn’t know the answer and it only left Luna more confused.

“I hate this so much now,” Luna muttered, making both mares raise their brows.

“Hate what princess?” Bon Bon asked.

Luna looked up to her and sighed softly.

“This. All of this. I didn’t ask to be in love and now I have to tell her that I do? I don’t know if I can do that. I don’t even know if she even likes me back like that. We’re only friends...” she trailed off and closed her eyes.

Was her love for the mare something that needed to take precedence over their friendship? A friendship that she had formed with Derpy over time, and not to mention probably one of the strongest bonds she had with any pony before?

“And you can change that,” Lyra encouraged, “That’s how usually couples start anyways and everypony that knows you knows that you and Derpy are the best of friends.”

“Yeah,” Bon Bon chimed in, “You guys practically look like a couple with all the time you two spend together.”

But Luna’s doubt and fear was more than apparent.

“But what happens if we get together and it doesn't work out? We won’t be best friends anymore and then what?”

Bon Bon and Lyra went silent for a moment, a bit taken off guard by Luna’s statement but it wasn’t going to make these two mares give up on her.

“But what if it does? How would you know if you never try?”

“I don’t know Lyra,” Luna said glumly, “But I can’t do it. I can’t tell Derpy.”

Luna said that but it was painful in her heart to say it. It was as if someone was taking a needle and stabbing at her heart for saying such a thing.

“Hey,” Bon Bon said as she made her way to Luna and sat by her, putting her foreleg over the regal’s shoulders, “You don’t have to tell Derpy immediately but don’t just keep it to yourself. You came here so you could stop the thoughts and stuff about Derpy right?”

Luna looked at the cream mare with perplexity.

“Well yes, but Lyra said that there isn’t a way to get rid of them and since I’m in love with her, it’s not something I can simply ‘shut off’.”

“Well not exactly princess.”

“What do you mean Bon Bon?” Luna asked, now more confused than ever. Was she going to tell her that there was a way to be rid of her love for the mailmare?

“I mean that if you tell her, the thoughts and stuff will stop. Lyra and I went through the same thing but we kept it to ourselves and I can’t describe to you how it ate me up personally. You think what you’re going through is bad, try actually getting physically sick for a week because of it.”

“Yeah but when we did tell each other, we ended up bucking every night for three nights straight,” Lyra said with almost a starry gaze as she thought back to such times, “ Gosh, that sex was-”

“Lyra!” Bon Bon interjected with red cheeks with Luna’s face following suit.

Lyra simply shrugged with a shameless smile.

“Hey, can’t help it was good.”

Bon Bon shook her head and continued.

“Look Luna, you don’t have to tell her immediately but as your friend, I’m asking that you will at least think about it. I know it’s scary and you're new to all this but just trust me when I say that you may not regret telling her.”

Luna bit her lower lip and looked at both of her friends.

I guess I could at least think about it. She did say that I didn’t have to tell her right away and they are my friends. They wouldn’t try to steer me wrong.

“I suppose I could think about it,” Luna resolved.

“That’s all we can ask princess,” Lyra said as she grabbed a chip with her magic from the small snack bowl.

And that’s as much as Luna could promise them. She would at least take the time to ponder and analyze all this before coming to an absolute decision concerning Derpy but there was a feeling deep down in her gut that she would have to make a decision soon or her betraying mind would make one for her.

“Oh my gosh,” Bon Bon yawned loudly, “It’s starting to get real late you guys.”

Luna looked over to the clock that hung high on the couple’s wall and looked at the time and by no means was Bon Bon over exaggerating about it.

Wow,four in the morning already? We been at this for three hours?

It certainly didn’t feel like three hours had passed but maybe it was because the princess was too engrossed in her talk with Lyra and Bon Bon to really even notice.

Regardless, Luna was starting to notice that it was taking its toll on the two mares. She had to keep in mind that the night was her domain and it was much more easier for her to stay awake under her moon than most ponies and this couple was no exception.

“Oh wow,” Lyra added as she now took a look at their clock, “It is getting late and we still haven’t tried out Halo 4 yet,” she said with a small laugh.

I better get going. I already took enough of their time.

Luna rose up from the couch and prepared to take her leave, seeing that these two had done more than enough for her and she was beginning to feel a bit bad for making them stay up so late just to help her.

“I’m sorry girls, I didn’t mean for all this to last this long.”

“It’s no problem princess. We’re always willing to help out a friend,” Bon Bon assured the regal.

“Well you guys certainly did,” Luna answered sincerely, “And I appreciate it but I probably should go so you two can get some rest for the night.”

“Are you sure? If you still have questions, we can still talk if you want. Bon Bon and I really don’t have anything planned for tomorrow so, its not like we can’t just sleep in.”

But Luna wouldn’t have it. She could see the fatigue that was setting in the two and she really didn’t want to bother them with anymore of her worries and questions. They helped her realize her love for Derpy and though she didn’t know what she was going to do concerning the part about actually telling the mare, it was still a step forward in her opinion.

The rest she would have to figure out for herself.

“No, you guys done more than enough for me and I really must head back to Canterlot anyways. Besides, I still want to get a chance to play a bit of Halo before my court starts in the morning,” Luna said with a smile, trying to help reassure her friends that she didn’t require anymore of their kindness.

“I hear that,” Lyra laughed as she got up from her chair and munched on one last chip before using her magic to transport the snack bowl to the kitchen.

“Okay but if you have any questions or if you decide to tell Derpy and need a bit of help doing it, we got your back,” Bon Bon said before yawning a bit more.

“I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks Bon Bon.”

Luna couldn’t help but feel a bit lucky to know these two mares and their willingness to help her with something that really had nothing to do with them. They had taken time out of their night, a night that they should’ve been spending together playing their new game, but instead used it for her and her desire to make sense of her own emotions.

The Goddess of the Night was grateful to say the least.

Luna’s horn lit up and levitated her small, dark blue saddlebag that she had brought with her along with the box that contained her Halo 4 edition Xbox 360.

“I really must be going,” Luna began, now ready to leave and not burden her friends any longer with her love problems.

“Let us escort you out princess,” Lyra said and the two mares along with the princess made their way to the small wooden door that led out to a silent Ponyville, as citizens of the small town were deep in slumber and consumed by their dreams.

Bon Bon opened the door and the trio went out into the night. Luna’s stars and beloved moon floated over the small town, lightly illuminating the empty dirt roads that would usually be bustling with ponies.

“So you’re going to at least think about telling Derpy right?”

Luna looked over to Bon Bon and nodded. She did say that she would and she would hold true to that promise. She had much to think about and much to try and understand about this feeling of love she now had. If what her friend said was true, she was going to have to decide to tell Derpy soon before her heart and mind got the better of her.

“Yes but I can’t promise that I will tell her. I mean, I’m not sure what to do concerning that.”

“You’ll be fine princess,” Lyra encouraged with a small smile, “You’ll know what to do when the time comes.”

Luna wasn’t sure what the unicorn meant by that but her mind was now too tired from tonights conversation to really try and decipher it.

The alicorn went over to the two and gave them a small hug.

“Again, thank you both for tonight. I can’t express how much it helped me.”

The two mares smiled sheepishly but returned the friendly hug, happy that they had at least now made the princess see how much she really cared for Derpy.

“Your welcome anytime princess,” Lyra said, “Just drop by if you want to talk again or something. Our door is always open.”

Luna smiled and acknowledged the mare’s offer.

“If I do, I will be sure to take you up on that. Now you two have a good night and I will see you again sometime, alright?”

Both mares nodded and said in unison, “Good night Princess Luna.”

With that, the alicorn unfurled her wings and took off into her night sky, letting the cool breeze hit her face. Tonight was an emotional roller coaster for the princess and she was a mix of many emotions inside. There was worry, joy, fear, and even happiness all mixed within her.

But one question was now answered.

Princess Luna loved Derpy Hooves and though there was still much to be done before this love could be proclaimed, the regal took comfort in the fact that she accepted her love for the grey mare.

But for now, she let the sensation of flight take her and let the name ‘Derpy’ echo in her head, bringing a small smile to her face.

She couldn’t wait to see her best friend again.

She couldn’t wait to see her love.

After Luna’s departure...

Lyra and Bon Bon entered the home after watching their princess fly off into the night. Both were tired but happy that they were able to help their fellow friend out and even a bit excited that they may have just paved the way for a glorious couple in the near future.

It warmed both their hearts to know that Luna loved Derpy, as they both knew that Derpy was a beautiful and kind mare but most didn’t see her for that. It was good to know that there was one, one of the rulers of Equestria no less, that saw her for what she truly was and loved her for it.

Lyra closed the door behind them and looked around the living room for a few seconds. With a smile, she called out.

“Okay, the coast is clear! You can come out now!”

Within seconds, there was a bright yellow flash that appeared that blinded the couple for a second but when they opened their eyes, the one and only Princess Celestia stood before them.

“So she’s heading back to Canterlot? How did the talk go?” the Sun Goddess asked coolly.

“It went well,” Lyra answered, “There were a few slip-ups from Bon Bon over here but I don’t think she noticed.”

“And the glass?” Princess Celestia asked.

“She doesn't suspect a thing,” Bon Bon replied, “But what were you doing in the kitchen princess? I thought you said you would wait for us in our room?”

Princess Celestia smiled sheepishly, almost as if she was a bit embarrassed of something.

“I apologize for that but I couldn’t help but notice when I arrived here that you had some cake in the fridge and-well-it got the better of me. I was just trying to get a glass of milk with it was all.”

Lyra and Bon Bon snickered, knowing how much Princess Celestia had a thing for cake.

“But anyways, did she finally say it?”

“She finally admitted that she’s in love with Derpy,” Lyra answered.

“But I don’t think she’s ready to tell her yet,” Bon Bon added.

Princess Celestia chuckled softly.

“Of course. My sister never makes things simple I suppose, but you two did well. I was hoping she would come to me about all this but I can’t really blame her. My advice would’ve been more-explicit- to say the least. So I thank you for helping me out on this one.”

Lyra waved her hoof nonchalantly.

“It’s what we do princess. Couldn’t really turn your offer down after telling us all that’s been going on. Besides, consider it repayment for getting my rank up to Reclaimer on Reach. You should’ve heard Luna and Derpy when they saw that.”

Bon Bon laughed and nudged her marefriend in the shoulder.

“I still can’t believe that you said I did it. I’m not nearly that good to be getting that high of a rank in one day.”

Princess Celestia laughed along with Bon Bon.

“Either way, you two did well and hopefully this will help my little sister. It’s time that she finds a pony to love, she deserves it.”

Lyra and Bon Bon agreed but a look of mischevious proportions spread across Lyra’s face.

“Speaking of a pony to love, didn’t you say if we got Luna to admit she loved Derpy, you had a little something for us?”

Bon Bon looked over to Lyra and she even let a little evil smile escape.

“Wow Lyra, you in the mood for that this late?”

“You know it.”

Princess Celestia laughed warmly

“Well then what are we waiting for girls? The night is still young and my sister doesn't’ expect me until tomorrow.”

Both mare’s squee’d in built-up anticipation and began to make their way out of the kitchen and to their room to set up for tonights sexy activites, but Celestia stopped them with one last question.

“But before we start, I must ask one thing.”

Both mares turned back to her, now wondering what their ruler needed to know.

“What would that be princess?” Bon Bon asked.

Celestia smiled devilishly.

“Which one of you wants to wear the panties first?”

M.0.D, is there something wrong?

M.0.D?

No L33t. Did you send the items to Princess Celestia?

Yes, but from what I can tell from your bio readings, there seems to be something bothering you. Is it because of Luna?

I was hoping she wouldn’t actually be in love with my.... I mean Derpy.

Well you could put the green light on the operation now if you want. You could test-

No. It’s too early and I don’t want to jeopardize my work simply because of Luna.

Then you know how this will turn out then?

Yes. Now put the stream back online. If I did this correctly, the devices you sent Celestia will help record some data on our subject’s abilities.

Of course M.0.D. Activating stream...

Place Your Bets Ladies and Gentlcolts

Two hours before match...

“64 and 0. I think that’s commendable,” Luna chuckled to herself as she set her controller down with her magic and relished in the glory of victory and the cries of plot hurt victims.

“This is horseshit! How the hell does somepony go 64-0!?” a voice yelled through her headset, “You had to be hacking or something! I’ve never went negative until now!”

It did Luna’s heart proud to hear such lovely words of hate and bewilderment. Players online loved to talk shit before a match but she was not one to get into that...at least not until after the game. She would let her victims talk smack and act like they were gods in their own little gaming world but when the time came to put in work, she put more than her fair share and with it, broke the pillars her victims stood on and showed them who the real gaming god was, or in her case, goddess.

“There’s a first time for everything,” Luna replied nonchalantly but with a hidden undertone of cockiness.

“Screw you!” the pony online yelled back.

“No, I don’t think that you will be doing that. Seeing how you played, I could probably bet that your performance would be the same in bed. Very poor I’m afraid.”

There was a barrage of laughter in the virtual lobby. Though Luna was not one for sexual jokes, seeing that her sister gave her plenty of that, they were sometimes useful to use as insults to players who wanted to try and test her.

“Screw this, I’m outta here!”

XxMLGp0NYxX has left the lobby.

Seems my work here is done.

With that, Luna turned off her console and beloved television, deciding that it was time for a break after playing for a full eight hours straight. The alicorn could’ve kept playing but she was more focused on the match against her sister that would take place in only a matter of hours. She didn’t want to fatigue herself and end up playing poorly, especially against a sister that had no type of gaming skills.

Even then Luna was more than confident that she could still beat her sister even when she wasn’t in tip top shape.

Regardless, she wasn’t going to take that chance. She would be damned if Celestia and her student beat her and Derpy simply because she was tired, especially since the regal had cancelled her court for the day just to get some play time in.

Princess Luna went over to her bed and threw her body on it and stretched out. Playing and sitting in one spot for hours on end made her body stiff and all she wanted to do was bum it out for a little bit, but there was another reason.

Derpy.

Ever since last night’s conversation with Lyra and Bon Bon, Luna had been doing some thinking concerning her interest for Derpy. To be more specific, she was still debating if she should reveal her love for the mare or keep it to herself for eternity.

One half of her wanted to tell Derpy, reveal to her these feelings of love and romance but there was always that other half that was telling her that that she shouldn’t, that Derpy only wanted her as a friend and nothing more.

“You guys practically look like a couple with all the time you two spend together.”

For some odd reason, that one thing that Bon Bon had said to her repeated itself in her brain and Luna couldn’t agree more. Now the alicorn didn’t know much about couples and what their practices were except basic things like dates, kissing, and it, but one thing stood: Derpy and Luna definitely looked like more than just simple friends.

Luna sighed and looked over to her phone that sat on the nightstand beside her bed. She wanted to call Derpy, tell her how much she loved her and maybe, just maybe, become more to each other and-

Ring! Ring! Ring!

“Gah!” Luna yelped, falling off the side of her bed and landing on the floor face first.

She quickly got up, rubbing her muzzle, and levitated her phone with her magic to see what pony was trying to get ahold of her.

Incoming Call: Celestia

“Oh,” Luna said to herself.

She had hoped that it was Derpy and that she was on her way to the castle even though it was not near time for the mare to start making her way over to Canterlot, but inside she knew that she was just eager to see her beloved Derpy again.

With disappointment, Luna answered her phone.

“What do you want Tia?” Luna said immediately, not even wasting time on a proper greeting.

“Hey Luna! W..what are you doing?” Celestia answered in a heavy breath over the phone.

“Nothing right now, just trying to relax before I have to kick your ass tonight,” Luna snickered.

“O...o..Oh! That’s g..good-Ah! I need...by my beard, right there...I need to talk to you about that...Yes!”

Luna pulled her phone away from her ear and looked at it in confusion. Her sister was barely making sense and the alicorn now wondered what was wrong with Celestia.

“Are you okay Tia? I can barely understand what’re saying.”

“I...I’m fine. I just wanted to...oooooh, keep licking....just wanted to say...say...that they're going to be some c..changes in tonight’s g..g..game,” Celestia stuttered and moaned.

Licking? What the-oh...

Luna deadpanned inside, now realizing why her sister was having trouble talking.

“Tia,” Luna said in a bland tone.

“Y..Yes?!” Celestia moaned.

“Are you busy with another pony? You know I don’t like you calling me when you’re...you know.”

Celestia went quiet, though despite her efforts, Luna could still hear the heavy breathing and small whines that were escaping her older sibling.

“Noooo, I’m just...I’m having a bath. Now a...about the game. I’m...bringing...bringing a few ponies to pllllLLLLAY! HOLY BUCKING HELL!” Celestia screamed, making Luna pull her phone away from her ear.

I should just hang up and act like nothing happened.

As much as Luna wanted to hang up and save her mind from the audible rape that her sister was causing, she needed to know what Celestia was trying to say about tonight’s game. More so, she just wanted to make sure that Celestia wasn’t backing out. Luna prepared and psyched herself out for tonight and she wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to finally show her sister up.

“Celestia, what do you mean a few ponies?” Luna asked but kept her phone away from her ear, just in case.

“I...team. I have a t...team! We’re going to...to...play against you.”

“What?!” Luna exclaimed, now ignoring her sister’s struggle to talk, “A team?! That wasn’t part of the deal Tia! You said it was just you and Twilight against Derpy and me!”

But what was the problem with this? Both Luna and Derpy were more than competent gamers and have proven countless times during their nights together that they could handle any obstacle that was thrown at them, including uneven teams.

“I know and now I...I’m...I’m about to cum!”

“Huh?!!” Luna blurted as her cheeks turned red.

“I mean I know and I’m changing it!! Call y...your friends and tell them to come to the castle a...and we’ll play against each...each other! Ah! Don’t stop!”

“But that wasn’t the deal Tia! You’re going to make me call my friends and tell them to be here in less than two hours?! You know ponies do shit on Saturday nights!”

Luna didn’t even know why she was still trying to hold a conversation with her preoccupied sister but she didn’t want to call her friends and tell them to get to Canterlot just for a match that was really between her and her sister. It was too short notice for her.

“Just...just tell them to cum-I mean come! If you don’t, you’re...wearing...damn! Just do it L...LUUUNAAA! OH FU-!”

But Luna hung up the phone before Celestia could finish her last outburst.

“I can’t believe this,” Luna huffed as she set her phone back down onto the nightstand.

Celestia had gathered a team without letting her know and was now making her gather one in a small amount of time. Luna didn’t have a problem with teams but she now wished that she had been notified much earlier. It would’ve given her time to plan with the rest of her friends their tactics and strategies.

But she had to do it. The last thing she wanted to do was wear panties to some party that she still didn’t have any details about.

So with nothing further to do, Luna picked her phone back up and dialed.

***

Later...

Stop staring Luna. Stop staring.
Luna moved her teal eyes away from the grey mare that stood in front of her as Derpy set her saddlebag and things on the floor. The alicorn was in love with her best friend, this much has been established, but she was now seeing that Lyra was right. Just because one accepted their love for another pony didn’t mean that their wants and desires of that pony would simply leave.

And it was proving true for Luna.

Derpy Hooves had arrived only a few minutes ago but still a half hour early for their upcoming match. What bothered the alicorn though was the fact that not even five minutes had passed before she was finding herself wanting of the mare in her embrace and having the almost overwhelming urge to confess her feelings for the blonde pony.

Tell her Luna. This is the time! She just got here and you two are alone, this would be-!

No. Luna replied back to her inner voice, I haven’t even decided to tell her or not and even if I was, this wouldn’t be the time. We have a match against my sister remember?

But you know you want to tell her.

And Luna did. She wanted to tell Derpy about her talk with Lyra and Bon Bon and what she had realized, but she knew she wouldn’t.

At least not right now.

She needed more time to ponder the sacred question but today was not the day to do that. She just now wanted to concentrate on wiping her sister’s flank and getting out of this blackmailing mess with her troll of a sister.

“There we go,” Derpy said as she flipped a headset over her neck and closed her saddlebag and looked over to Luna with her familiar smile, “Sorry about that. I just wanted to make sure I had my headset with me.”

“It’s fine,” Luna replied, “I had one ready for you in case you forgotten yours again.”

Derpy rolled her cross eyes playfully.

“I don’t always forget my headset Luna.”

“Yeah, only half the time right?” Luna joked, making the grey mare chuckle back in response.

“Maybe,” Derpy shrugged with a smile, “So how was your day today?”

“I took the day off. Needed to put in some work on Halo 4 since I didn’t get the chance to play it last night.”

“I can imagine how that went,” Derpy laughed, knowing that Luna more than likely decimated any who had the misfortune of playing against her.

“Yes, well, did you hear anything from any of our friends?” Luna asked, now wondering where the rest of the gang was at, “I called them a couple hours ago and they're still not here. We only have a half hour before Celestia and her team gets here.”

“They were on the train when Vinyl called and that was about an hour ago,” Derpy answered, “So they should be here in a few. Maybe in the next five minutes or so?”

Luna believed her blonde friend. If her friends all agreed to help her out despite being it so short notice, then why should she doubt if they would get here on time? There hasn’t been any other time her friends weren’t there for her when she needed it, even if it meant a little persuasion on her part sometimes as she did with having Vinyl help sneak into her sister’s room.

“Very well. Would you like to help me set up the game and stuff real quick while we wait for them?”

Derpy nodded happily, always willing to help her favorite princess.

The two mares went over to the Tower of Power and began setting up. Derpy grabbed Halo 4 from the shelves and put it into the disc tray as Luna began unplugging HDMI’s and cords in and out the back of the television with her magic.

“Hey Luna?” Derpy said as she pressed the close tray button and looked over to the alicorn.

“Yeah?” Luna replied, plugging in another HDMI in the back of her T.V.

“If Princess Celestia is bringing her own team, won’t we need another Xbox?”

It was a good question but Luna already had her answer ready.

“We do. I have my other Xbox since I got the Halo 4 Edition one last night. The only thing I’m worried about right now is if my sister and her team bring their own controllers.”

“I’m sure they would,” Derpy answered, always being optimistic, perhaps another trait that had captivated Luna’s heart.

But it is my sister.

Luna plugged in the last input and quickly summoned her remote with her magic and turned her immense television until it showed a green glowing X on the screen.

“Are the speakers on Derpy?” Luna asked the pegasus.

Derpy looked over the speakers and saw the small red light indicating that they were ready to blow minds with a smack full of awesomeness.

“Yep!” Derpy answered, “Everything’s ready to go.”

“Good. Then we just have to wait for everypony and then we can do this.”

Derpy chuckled at Luna, a bit amused about how eager this alicorn was to play this match against her sister.

“Wow Luna, I don’t think I’ve seen you this ready to play against somepony before. You seem pretty hype.”

Luna couldn’t deny it. She was a mix of butterflies and raging, competitive, gamer excitement. It was a feeling that pumped adrenaline in her and as time ticked down, it just made her antsier.

She didn’t want to just beat Celestia because she had blackmail on her, though it definitely was a motivator, but also this was Luna’s chance to finally beat her at something. Celestia always had the uncanny ability to always be one hoof step ahead of her, somehow, someway, in anything she did.

But the dark alicorn knew that she had the advantage.

Experience and time were on her side, along with the only blonde mare that could play at her level. There was no way she could lose and she was more than ready to prove it.

She just needed everyone to be here first.

“Then you should’ve saw me when I was playing Halo earlier,” Luna laughed; now picturing how intense she must’ve been when she achieved that 64-0 match.

“Oh!” Derpy exclaimed, “I almost forgot. I was looking for you online last night to play Halo but I didn’t see you on. Did something happen last night? I would’ve called but it was real late and I didn’t know if you were asleep or something.”

Luna suddenly remembered what she had told her treasured pony last night before she went to Lyra and Bon Bon’s. She had promised Derpy that she would be on Live to play with her but last night’s discussion had taken much out of her and the thought of playing had totally left her.

“Oh my gosh!” Luna exclaimed, now feeling terrible for leaving her gaming mare hanging, “I’m so sorry Derpy! I had totally forgotten about that last night! I guess when I got back to Canterlot I was more tired than I thought.”

Derpy waved her hoof at her and laughed.

“It’s okay Luna. I made sure that I took down a couple noobs for you last night.”

“Yeah...” was all Luna could say to that.

Luna felt horrible for now forgetting something that she would’ve normally never let leave her mind. She loved playing with Derpy and now she felt that she had let the pegasus down somehow.

Derpy’s friendly laughing slowly came to a cease as the blonde pony noticed the alicorn’s demeanor.

“Hey, are you okay?” Derpy asked, seeing that Luna wasn’t laughing with her.

“I didn’t mean to forget Derpy,” Luna replied, cursing and damning herself in her mind for not being online.

“It’s okay Luna. Really, it’s not a big deal. We’re going to play here together soon anyways,” Derpy assured.

But it was a big deal for Luna.

Did you really forget Luna? Maybe you should tell Derpy that you were at Bon Bon and Lyra’s?

Luna wasn’t going to do that. If she told Derpy that she was at Lyra and Bon Bon’s, she would no doubt ask questions and the regal knew she would lose her very sanity if she was forced to admit her love for the mare now.

“I know Derpy,” Luna sighed, “But I don’t want you to think that I didn’t want to play with you or anything like that. I just can’t believe that I actually forgot.”

You didn’t believe that you loved her either at one point.

Luna grimaced inside and silenced her small, somewhat less tortuous voice.

Derpy went over to the alicorn and hugged her, the pegasus now trying her best to reassure her princess.

“I wouldn’t ever think of that Luna.”

Oh crap...she’s hugging me again.

And thus another moment that was proving Lyra right once again.

Luna’s heart was beating too fast for its own good, making her breathing a bit more difficult and she felt her hooves go cold while her chest was warm against the padding of grey fur.

Tell her Luna.

Her thoughts were fogged but the more she looked down at the blonde-maned equine and saw the innocent beauty that radiated from her, the more she wanted to whisper in the mare’s ear that she loved her.

Maybe I could...maybe this is the time. Maybe if I do it right, she might love me too. Maybe-

“Awwww yeaaaah!” a voice that broke Luna’s inner thought shouted, “Derpy and the princess are about to get it on!”

“Huh?!” Both Derpy and Luna cried, quickly breaking their embrace from their surprise and looked over to the entrance of her door.

Vinyl, Lyra and Bon Bon, Berry Punch, and Trixie stared at the two with sly smiles, except for Trixie since her face looked more confused than anything.

“When did you guys get here?!” Luna cried with red cheeks, “And why didn’t anypony knock?!”

“Just now and to answer your second question; because none of us were expecting you two getting ready to get some friction going and you never lock the door,” Vinyl snickered.

“No, no, nothing like that was going on,”Derpy said hastily with a very coy laugh and bright red cheeks, “You know Luna and I are just friends. We we’re just having a best friend moment.”

“...Luna and I are just friends....”

Luna didn’t feel a small sting, but a punch right into her chest that made her slightly cringe this time as the phrase repeated in her mind

Yeah...we’re just friends.

The alicorn looked over to the grey mare that now smiled awkwardly at their friends with her grey cheeks still being a very visible red. She knew Derpy looked the way she did because she was embarrassed by Vinyl’s outburst but it made her wonder.

Is she really embarrassed or is she blushing because of...no....that’s wishful thinking Luna. She’s not interested in me like how I am with her.

For a moment, Princess Luna thought that Derpy was blushing because of their hug but she saw this as just another wishful thought of her consumed mind.

I shouldn’t even be thinking about this! I need to focus on beating my sister.

“Damn. I was hoping I was going to get a lil’ show,” Vinyl joked.

“Show? Say no more!” Trixie proclaimed, “The Great and Powerful Trixie will perform the most-!

“No!” Everypony in the room yelled before the magician could get the chance to finish and put on a show that most would fall asleep for within minutes.

“Fine,” Trixie said, crossing her forelegs across her chest and plopping her rump on the floor, “You’ll all regret not wanting to see the Great and Powerful Trixie perform one day.”

“The daysh I see you perfomsh ish the day I shtop drinking. Gets good at video games then maybe some ponies might watch,” Berry Punch slurred as she took another hit of her cider bottle, always in the safety of her hoof.

“Trixie is good at video games!” Trixie argued.

Lyra and Bon Bon looked at each other and snickered quietly as once again Trixie and Berry Punch went at it.

Ugh...

“Girls, can we not start off the night with an argument? This isn’t really the time.”

Trixie looked away from Berry and huffed in disgust.

“The only reason Trixie came here in the first place is so she could beat Twilight Sparkle. Not so she could be in company like yours.”

“Whatever shish,” Berry said, being the bigger mare. Ironically, it was the drunken pony that had enough sense to put a halt to their argument.

“Well since Berry wants to be a party killer, where are Celestia and her ponies? Don’t we start this thing in a few minutes?” Vinyl asked as she sat her bottom on one of Luna’s bean bag chairs and threw her shades on.

Luna looked over to the digital clock near her bed.

Five minutes. She should be here any minute.

“Yeah she should be Vinyl,” Luna answered but noticed that the DJ didn’t bring along her weird masked friend.

“Where’s Perro? Isn’t he usually with you?”

Vinyl shifted in her bean-bag chair and shrugged.

“Nah heard something about him being with Fluttershy in Ponyville now.”

Everypony gasped and Derpy was the first one to ask what everypony was thinking.

“Are Perro and Fluttershy together?”

Vinyl lifted her shades and stared at the blond mare for a few seconds before she began busting out in laughter.

“Bahahaha! Perro and Fluttershy? No bucking way. I think he’s staying with Fluttershy for a year...or maybe six months, I’m not sure...but it seems that he was caught with some bad stuff at his apartment last night and long story short, Perro is going through rehab and Fluttershy is his instructor.”

Rehab?

“Was he involved in drugs?” Luna asked, seeing that hearing the word ‘rehab’ could only mean one thing.

Vinyl looked at Luna and smirked.

“I suppose so, not that I been part of his little sessions.”

“Sessions huh?” Bon Bon said, “Why do I doubt that you weren’t part of it?”

Vinyl looked over to Lyra and Bon Bon who shared a bean bag chair together in the middle of Luna’s room.

“Hey, that’s your call Bons. I might, I might not. I guess we’ll never know right?”

“I abush drugsh all thesh time! Like thish cider!” Berry proclaimed randomly as she threw herself over Luna’s bed.

“Oh no, we’re not having a repeat of last month Berry,” Luna stated.

With diligence and quickness, the alicorn lifted the eternally drunk mare off her bed and gently onto the floor where she could lay out and drink her adored cider. The last thing Luna needed was vomit all over her sheets again.

“The time has arrived to play and Trixie does not see Princess Celestia or Twilight Sparkle. Trixie grows impatient!” Trixie huffed more.

“Trixie, she’s a princess and we’ve only been here for five minutes. You know she has responsibilities to take care of and if she’s late, she’ll probably have a good reason why,” Lyra said in Celestia’s defense.

She better not be.

Luna had to agree with the arrogant magician. She was already tweaked enough that her sister had the audacity to call her to change the rules up at the last minute, let alone getting it on with somepony while doing so.

But as if on cue, a bright yellow flash appeared in the middle of Luna’s room, almost blinding Luna and her friends. Within seconds, Luna and the rest opened their eyes and beheld the sight of Princess Celestia, Twilight, and several other ponies that stood behind the two.

“About time Tia,” Luna said with a flat tone,” We were just wondering where you were at.”

Celestia smiled and shrugged her shoulders as if she was some type of innocent bystander.

“You know how it is little sis. Royal duties had to be handled.” Celestia winked at her, knowing full well why Luna would ask where she was at.

More like you were being handled.

“Of course.”

Celestia turned to the others and greeted them in her innocent and regal tone that made the Princess of the Night roll her teal eyes.

“Hello everypony,” Celestia said with her signature smile of friendly proportions, “I’m assuming that you all will be on Luna’s team for tonight’s match?”

They all nodded.

“Yep, we were just waiting for you and your team Princess Celestia,” Derpy said in a polite tone.

“And Trixie has been waiting for Twilight Sparkle,” Trixie added.

The entire room went silent and all eyes were upon the magician before Celestia continued and Twilight simply giving a small wave and coy smile to her wannabe nemesis.

“Of course Derpy and I apologize to all of you for the last minute notice and having my sister pull you all from whatever activities you had planned tonight.”

“No big deal princess,” Vinyl assured, though Luna couldn’t agree, “We’re always down for a game.”

The rest nodded their heads in agreement with the DJ. They were gamers and who wouldn’t want to play against one such as Celestia, the Ruler of Equestria and Goddess of the Sun? Not everypony could say that they played against a goddess.

Then again, not many could say that they also had a gamer friend that raised the night either.

“I’m glad to hear that and I can assure all of you that your trip here will be worth it,” Celestia replied with an undertone of slyness.

What is she talking about?

Luna eyed her sister, wondering what the white alicorn meant by that.

“Yes, well, how about we get this show on the road then and not waste any more time? Derpy and I already set up everything for when you got here so all we need to do is setup the game” Luna said, now trying to somehow deviate whatever her sister was planning, not that she really knew if Celestia had some shenanigan planned.

“Luna,” Celestia said in the same way a mother would when she was disappointed with her child, “I know you're excited to play but we still have introductions to do. We do have some new ponies here after all and I’m sure they would like to meet your friends.”

Princess Luna looked over to the group of ponies that all now looked over with coy smiles on their faces. As much as she wanted to just start the game and destroy her sister’s flank her face in utter pwnge, she also didn’t want to come off as rude, especially to ponies that she had never met before.

“Okay, your right Tia.”

“Good,” Celestia chimed as she now looked over to her faithful student, “Twilight, would you like to help introduce the others to Luna and her friends?”

“Of course princess,” Twilight answered, being the ever obedient student, and turned to the group of ponies, “Who would like to go first?”

“We will!” A pair of stallions said as they broke from the others and went up to Luna, ready to introduce themselves to their ruler.

Luna watched as the two made their way to her as she stood beside her sister.

“Hello,” she greeted with a polite smile as she held out her silver hoof to the pegasus first.

He had ice blue eyes with a somewhat messy green mane. His coat was matched the color of his eyes and his tail was a very dark blue. He wore a wide smile on his face and held out his hoof to shake the alicorns.

“Hello!” he chimed as he shook her hoof, “My name is Nexus and it’s a pleasure to meet you Princess Luna.”

“Same here,” she answered and looked over to the stallion that stood beside Nexus and noticed something about him.

He looks almost like-

“Hey! You!” Luna heard Vinyl call out as the DJ got up and left the others to see who this pony was.

The black coated, dark blue eyed stallion along with Nexus and everypony else watched as the DJ came up to the pony.

“What’s your name?” Vinyl demanded with authority.

The stallion backed away and gave his answer.

“Uh, my name is Sketch. Why? Have we met before or some...ohhhhh!”

Now there weren’t many ponies that had the same style of manes and tails but these two were the exception. Sketch had his dark coat but what surprised Luna about him and probably Vinyl was that he had the same exact color and style of mane and tail just as the DJ’s.

Vinyl grinned and nudged the pony in the shoulder.

“I like your taste in mane styles Sketch,” Vinyl chuckled.

But Luna noticed that Sketch wasn’t really paying attention to her DJ friend and kept finding the stallion making glances toward her sister and it was then that she knew that this pony, to his own fault, had something for the Sun Goddess.

Don’t even try. By the time she’s done with you, you’re going to want to commit suicide.

“Oh, uhhh yeah thanks,” he simply said as he kept stealing glances over at Celestia.

“He totally wants this ass,” Celestia whispered into Luna’s ear, making the alicorn almost vomit in her mouth.

“So do you guys like electronic music?” Vinyl asked both stallions.

“Yeah! You know some?” Nexus said as Sketch was left in his entrancement with Celestia’s beauty.

“Know some? I create them,” Vinyl stated proudly.

Instantly Nexus’s eyes lit up in sudden awe and admiration and discussion erupted between the two. It was only moments later that Luna watched the two stallions go with Vinyl so the DJ could introduce the two to the rest of their friends.

And possibly have a jam session.

Okay then. So at least Tia didn’t bring any weird ponies.

The introductions continued and a unicorn along with a pegasus came up to introduce themselves to their future opponent.

One unicorn with a cutie mark of a lime green space invader had a black coat with markings that were similar to a Zebra’s but instead of them being black; they were a somewhat bright green. The unicorn had a pair of headphones around his neck and wore a dark green, sleeveless, V-neck sweatshirt with a black dress shirt underneath it.

Hmm, classy.

“Princess Luna,” the unicorn said, giving a little bow, “Princess Celestia told me that you’re a pretty good gamer.”

Pretty good?

Luna smirked, amused that her sister would say that she was just ‘pretty good.’

“You could say that,” Luna answered, “But we will see when we actually play, won’t we?”

The green striped unicorn chuckled.

“I guess we will but before I get too ahead of myself talking, my name is Beat Bot.”

“Nice to meet you Beat Bot.”

“You too princess.

Luna nodded but also kept a mental note in her head to watch this pony. She could tell by his demeanor and the way he spoke that he was more than ready to go. The alicorn smile inside, seeing that Beat Bot had no idea what he was really going up against. She was going to make sure that she proved that she was more than just ‘pretty good.’

“And my name is Windy Quill,” the stallion beside Beat Bot said as he shook Luna’s hoof.

Now this pony was much different. He had a light green coat with a purple mane and brown eyes. He had a cutie mark of an inkwell with a fountain pen and Luna could only guess that he was some type of writer.

“Windy Quill,” Luna said, “I assume by your cutie mark that you write stories of some sort?”

Windy looked at his flank for a moment and looked back at Luna and chuckled at how easy his talent was to guess.

“Hehe, wow, guess Deadinlight wasn’t joking when he said anypony could guess my talent just by looking at it.”

“Deadinlight?” Luna asked, not knowing what pony Windy spoke of.

“Who said my name?!” a voice called out, making Luna Celestia, Windy, and Beat look over to see a white unicorn with a black mane and tail and grayish eyes coming towards all of them.

“Oh great,” Luna heard Windy whisper to himself.

“Hey guys! What’s up?!” Deadinlight said with more than what one would call an indoor voice.

Luna’s teal eyes looked over the unicorn for a moment to see what information she could gather on him but what she saw shocked her.

His horn, it’s broken.

The unicorn was missing the top half of his horn and just looking at it made Luna conscious of her own. She could only imagine what had happened to cause such a thing but she decided against asking, seeing that she didn’t know this stallion.

“We were just introducing ourselves to Princess Luna was all,” Beat Bot answered.

“You were?! Me too! I just got done talking to some blonde mare named Derpy and that’s when I heard one of you say my name so then I wanted to know what you guys were talking about and here I am right?”

Windy lightly sighed.

“Yes, I was just telling Princess Luna what you said about-”

“Your cutie mark? Anypony could tell what the hell that means,” Deadinlight laughed.

Beat Bot chuckled while Windy simply stared at Deadinlight, almost looking as if he was going to back-hoof him.

“I see that,” Windy said flatly.

“I mean, look at mine. I actually have some type of mystery to mine.”

They all glanced over to see what he was talking about and Luna had to admit that he had a point. His cutie mark was composed of a cog with an inkwell and quill inside of it.

“I really don’t see how. The only difference you and I have is that you have a cog for whatever reason.”

Deadinlight laughed and looked over to Luna.

“So we’re playing against you then?”

Luna nodded with a smile.

“Yep, along with Derpy and my other friends.”

“Oh then this will be easy then.”

“Uhh, excuse-?” But the alicorn was cut off by the unicorn and began bouncing around her.

“So what weapons do you use? BR? DMR? Carbine? I like using the BR because it makes cool sounds. Oh! You wanna hear a cool sound?!”

Luna started to feel a bit dizzy as she tried to keep up with the stallion’s obnoxious questions.

“I’m not sure-”

“Beep!”

“Huh?” Luna said in confusion

“Beep!” Deadinlight said again and began poking the alicorn with his hoof multiple times, “Beepbeepbeepbeep!”

Luna felt her patience waning quickly as the stallion continued with his annoying poking and beeping.

“Okay Dead, cut it out,” Beat Bot said as he grabbed the unicorn and pulled him away from Luna, “Let’s go meet the others and you can go annoy them, alright?”

The trio left to meet with Derpy and the others and Luna looked over to her sister who now had her hoof over her mouth, trying to keep herself from busting out in hysterical laughter.

“Who the hell was that Tia and why did he keep poking me and making ‘beep’ noises??”

Celestia took a deep breath, trying to quell the oncoming laughter that was sure to have her on the floor.

“Luna, do you remember when somepony asked you if I beeped when I backed up or something like that?”

Luna thought back to that moment.

FLASHBACK

“Oh...yeah...” Luna said with embarrassment.

“I told him that if he made beep sounds and poked you that you would actually begin to beep.”

“Are you serious? He was annoying the shit out of me.”

Celestia snickered, still trying to hold back her laughter.

“That was the point dear sister and I have to say that your face was priceless.”

Luna simply shook her head, now even more eager to start this match up. Her sister needed to be put in her place.

“Is there anymore ponies of yours that I must meet Tia? I really want to get this game started up and running.”

“Patience Lulu,” Celestia said, “There are still two more ponies I want you to meet and then we will start.”

Celestia scanned her eyes over the mass of ponies to look for the last two. She saw Vinyl and Nexus sitting beside each, wearing headphones and bouncing their heads to music while she saw Sketch simply staring at her. Her eyes searched more and found Derpy, Lyra, and Bon Bon all talking to Windy and Beat Bot, while Deadinlight and Berry Punch seemed to be having a small debate about what the best cider was. She continued her search and found the last two watching Trixie talk smack to her student, though the lavender mare seemed undaunted by the magician.

“Spirit! Theo! Could you two come over here real quick please? My sister would like to meet the both of you before we get started.”

Another light green pony with a mossy green mane, tail, and hooves along with a purple coated one with a black mane and tail came towards the Princess of the Night.

“This is Theo,” Celestia began with a warm smile, pointing to the green stallion.

“My full name is Theorem Proof but most call me ‘Theo’ for short,” the stallion said shyly as he held out his hoof.

“Then it would be okay that I call you Theo then?” Luna asked as she shook his, trying to be as friendly as possible since she could see that the pony was obviously nervous.

“That’s, uh, fine, Princess Luna.”

“And this is Brawny Spirit,” Celestia said, now pointing to the purple pony.

“Hello Brawny Spirit,” Luna greeted, following suit with the hoof shake.

“Hey Princess Luna, “Spirit greeted with a playful smirk of mischievous proportions.

“Oh. I remember you,” Luna said, now recalling a bad memory that she still couldn’t accept.

“So do you think this is going to end the same way like when we played The Pony of Pimps?”

Luna scrunched her muzzle in dismay.

“The only reason you won is because of those damn arrows.”

“You two have met before?” Celestia asked Luna in surprise.

Luna sighed, not wanting to get into details about it.

“It’s a long story Tia.”

“Yeah, maybe after we win then we can discuss it,” Brawny Spirit joked.

“You mean when we win,” Luna replied with a cocky smile.

“Um, Spirit, I think Trixie and Twilight is really getting into it,” Theo said, making Luna look over to the two unicorns.

“I will beat you Twilight Sparkle! Today will be the day that I finally prove that I’m better than you!”

Twilight rolled her eyes with a snarky smile.

“If you say so Trixie.”

Wow, she got Trixie mad enough to actually speak normally?

The two stallions quickly left to watch the two mares and their one-sided battle. Luna looked over to her sister, ready to finally get this match underway.

“Well Tia, I’ve met your team. Are you ready to get your flank handed to you?”

“Yes but we have one problem Luna.”

Luna raised her brow.

“What would that be?”

“I have ten members on my team and you only have seven. The teams aren’t even.”

“Pfffft!” Luna blurted, “All I need is my friends. You can have ten or even twenty; we’re still going to win.”

There had been plenty of times where Luna was put in a position of having unequal teams but she knew that skill could beat numbers any day. A victory over her sister would only help solidify and validate Luna’s skill even more.

“If that’s what you want but I could’ve sworn you had more than seven.” Celestia nudged her sister, “You need to start making more friends little sister.”

Luna bit down on her tongue, knowing exactly what her sister was trying to say.

“Sorry, but unlike you, I don’t have to spread my hind legs to make friends with ponies.”

Celestia looked into her eyes with a mischievous look and raised her brow.

“Well whatever you’re doing now isn’t working either Luna, so maybe you should try spreading yours and see what happens, but we both know you won’t do that,” Celestia said in her everlasting calm tone.

“Happy you got that much,” Luna retorted.

Celestia craned her neck a bit until she was next to Luna’s ear and whispered into it.

“Unless it was for Derpy, right?”

Luna’s body stiffened and she felt her heart begin to race. Her cheeks felt warm and a very explicit image started to enter her mind but she quickly blocked it out, not wanting some type of repeat of last night where she had almost groped Derpy’s rump.

“I...I...uh...”

Just say no! Don’t let her enjoy this!

“Uhh...can...can we just start this Tia?”

Luna couldn’t say no though she wanted to deny her sister the satisfaction of being right. She didn’t want her sister to find out that she was in love with her friend but at the same time, she couldn’t reject what her sister had said.

Celestia nodded with a satisfied smile. It seemed Luna’s reaction was enough answer for the Sun Goddess.
“Can I get everypony’s attention please?” Celestia said with authority but also with a gentle and regal tone at the same time.

Instantly, both Luna and Celestia’s team members ceased their chatting and mingling and looked at both alicorns.

“Thank you. We all know why we’re here and I’m assuming all of you are ready to get this game underway?”

“Let’s do this!” Derpy and Vinyl yelled together.

“Yeah! C’mon! I’m ready to kick some royal flank! BEEP!” Deadinlight shouted.

Luna narrowed her eyes at him.

He’s going to be my first kill.

“I hope you are,” Luna deadpanned, “So does everypony here have a controller to play?”

Before anypony could answer, Celestia interrupted.

“We’re not going to need controllers for this game lil’ sis,” Celestia said proudly.

“Huh?” Luna blurted, “Then what are we supposed to use to play?

How could they play without controllers? Halo 4 isn't Kinect compatible and there was no way she was going to use that over-hyped piece of junk. She understood that Celestia wasn’t a gamer and she didn’t expect her to know the in’s and outs of the gaming world but even Celestia had to know that they needed controllers.

Celestia went over near Luna’s beloved Tower of Power and all eyes were on her, waiting for an explanation.

“Something better than controllers. Today I received a package from our dear mailmare here...”

Everypony looked at the blond mare for a moment as she simply waved her hoof with a coy smile and quickly looked back at Celestia.

“And what I found in it may please most of you.”

Celestia’s horn lit up a bright yellow and a large open box appeared in front of her. Everypony, including Luna, gathered around to see what was inside as Celestia levitated one to herself.

Luna peered inside the box and saw several metallic helmets with visors. They were shiny chrome with golden visors and had a button in the back that had the word ‘SYNC’ near it.

“Are these...” Twilight began as she levitated one to herself and studied the item with great interest, “Are these actually....?”

“Yes they are Twilight,” Celestia answered, “These are virtual reality helmets on steroids.”

“What??! “Virtual reality?” Luna gasped.

“Yep!” Celestia chimed as she summoned a small piece of paper, “Apparently all you have to do is just put it on, hit the SYNC button on the helmet and the Xbox, and you will actually be in the game playing.”

Everypony looked at each other in excitement and amazement but no pony was more excited than Luna was right now. To actually be in the game, and really put her skills to the test? It was a gamer's wet dream!

“So does that mean, like, we get to be Spartans and use weapons and stuff?” The green pony named Theo asked.

“Exactly,” Celestia answered.

“Wait, rewind for a minute,” Vinyl began, “If we’re going to be in the game shooting at each other, aren’t we going to feel that shit?”

Now that was a good question, a question that Luna wanted to know the answer to. If she was going to be taking bullets and what not, she definitely didn’t want to know how it felt.

Celestia looked at the small piece of paper that she had summoned earlier and read from it.

“It says that the VS34 does not integrate itself with nerves, blah, blah, blah, and that no pain will be felt when one takes damage. If one dies in a game, the VS34 simply brings the player back to reality and shuts down.”

“Sounds pretty awesome to me,” Beat Bot said.

“But there’s one thing with this,” Celestia continued, “It alters the game of which you’re in, of course make it seem real, but also real within the game’s rules. For example, Spartans possess significant strength. In turn, you the player will have that same ability.”

Celestia took her eyes off the paper.

“So basically saying that any abilities that you can use in the game can be used while you’re in it I guess.”

“Holy shitsh! Thatsh bucking crazy!” Berry Punch yelled, almost falling over onto the floor.

That’s...so...awesome!

Luna looked at the helmet she held in her hooves in awe and anticipation. She now wanted to try this first hoof.

“So this thing is completely safe right?” Derpy asked, seemingly a bit worried about this new change.

“Of course Derpy,” Celestia assured, “I would never suggest using these otherwise if I thought they weren’t.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Lyra said,” Let’s get this started!”

Everypony agreed and began looking over their helmets, preparing themselves for a new gaming experience.

“We have to set up the game first though,” Luna said and quickly grabbed her controller, wanting to waste no time in starting this, now much more interesting, match.

Karma's a Bitch

Infinity Slayer
Score to win: 250
Map: Ragnarok
Time Limit: None

Luna and the others sat in front of her immense television as she set the parameters for the game. Celestia took a seat beside her on one side while Derpy sat on the other side of her, fidgeting with her new equipment.

“This is going to be so fun,” Derpy said in foalish excitement.

Yeah, fun kicking my sister’s ass!

“The game is set,” Luna announced.

Derpy put her helmet over her head and the rest followed suit except for Celestia and Luna, who now eyed each other.

“So are you ready to do this Luna?”

She was more than ready. Everything that she had gone through had led up to this moment and there was no way she was backing down. Celestia had blackmailed her, spanked her, humiliated her, and everything else that she had been subject to by her troll of her sister.

It was time for payback.

“I've been ready,” Luna replied with a cocky smile, “Are you?”

Celestia smiled wickedly as she put her helmet on.

“I’m ready to see you in panties.”

Luna rolled her eyes and put her helmet on and said one last thing before everypony pressed the SYNC button and were thrown into a new world.

“Karma’s a bitch Tia.”

Let the games begin...

P3RRO

Level 17 Part 1

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 17-1

Armor Up

Luna?

The alicorn didn’t answer. Her head spinned violently and all sense of her surroundings were gone. She could barely make out the gentle voice that called out to her and as much as she wanted to answer, she couldn’t. She felt as if she had lost control of her body, or more like she was no longer sure if she still had a body.

She felt ethereal in a sense.

Luna? C’mon, get up. Those helmets that Princess Celestia gave us work. C’mon wake up!

Princess Luna tried to focus on her friend’s voice until her head slowly ceased its chaotic spinning.

“Luna?” she heard Derpy say again, now sounding a bit worried that her beloved princess wasn’t responding to her.

“Unnng,” Luna groaned.

She felt herself coming back and noticed that she was laying on something cold. Slowly, Luna opened her teal eyes and looked up into a pair of yellow, crossed ones and a smiling grey face of adorable proportions.

“How’re you feeling?” Derpy asked with a sheepish smile.

“A little dizzy,” Luna responded weakly with a smile of her own. It was a welcomed site to see her pegasus’ face first thing after her mind being thrown into some cosmic soup.

“It seems it was worse for you than me then,” Derpy said with a laugh of what sounded like relief, “I think the dizziness should go away in a few though. Probably because it’s our first time using these things.”

Princess Luna staggered up onto all fours. Her stomach felt slightly queasy, but she figured it was only due to her friend’s explanation.

The alicorn looked around, expecting to see the open landscape and hills of Ragnarok, but this was not so.

“Hey, this isn’t Ragnarok,” Luna said, stating the obvious, “You said the helmets worked right?”

Derpy nodded, but she was at a loss for an explanation.

“I’m pretty sure they do-well-I think they are. I mean, we’re not in your room anymore so it had to have worked.”

What should’ve been open, virtual terrain was replaced by a metal roof and four metal walls. Luna looked around the room and saw that the only thing that accompanied them was a single, mechanical door.

But now it made Luna realize another important detail.

“Where are the rest of our friends?”

Derpy shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know. When I woke up none of them were here except you.”

Luna didn’t like the sound of that. This was the first time using these devices and it didn’t bode well in her mind if the others were missing. There were numerous possibilities and explanations of where the rest of their friends were.

“You don’t think something bad happened to them do you?” Luna asked with worry, now staring at the mechanical door that stood idly with the duo.

Derpy quickly shook her head and reassured the princess.

“I’m sure they’re fine. Maybe they’re somewhere else in the game.”

“Derpy this doesn't look like we’re in the game,” Luna quickly pointed out.

“Then where are we because this isn’t Canterlot.”

Luna had no answer for her friend. She didn’t know exactly where they were at all. This room that they both stood in was nothing she had seen within the game before and she couldn’t really say why they were here either.

And then there was that door that waited to be opened.

“What about that door? Do you know what’s in it?” Luna asked.

“No, I woke up and saw you on the ground and tried waking you up first. I haven’t opened it yet.”

Well seems there’s only one thing to do then if we’re going to find the others.

“Well let’s see what’s behind it then,” Luna suggested and made her way over to the mechanical door with Derpy right behind her.

The alicorn and pegasus made their way to the mysterious door and soon stopped in front of it. Luna didn’t see any kind of handle on it and it wasn’t opening by itself as she had expected. Derpy tried her hoof at it, seeing that the door wasn’t opening either.

“Maybe it’s broken,” the small mare suggested and began waving her fore hooves in the air in front of the silver door as if she was a certain type of magician she loathed.

“Open sesame seed muffins!”

“....”

“Shazam!”

“....”

“Go go gadget door!”

“. . . .”

“Booty booty booty booty rockin’ everywhere!”

“Derpy,” Luna finally said, “What are you doing exactly?”

Luna got that her interest was trying to help, but she didn’t see what the purpose of her little sayings were.

“I’m trying to open this door and sometimes they have passwords to open them, so I’m trying out a few things,” the mare said with a coy smile, “Guess they’re not working that well huh?”

Luna laughed warmly.

“I’m afraid not, but I appreciate the effort. Regardless, we still have to find a way to open this door.”

The regal’s eyes scanned over the door, trying to find if there was some hidden button or device that would open it and reveal whatever it held behind it. She took her silver hoof and dragged it across the cold metal of the door.

There has to be a way to open this damn door.

Her hoof went over something small and round in the center of the door.

Suddenly, a wide green beam of light shot out, making Derpy yelp and Luna stagger back in surprised. She saw the light being emitted from a small black reticle-like device in the center of the door and the wide, green light began to scan both mares and a monotone robotic voice came on.

Confirming Identity. Identify yourselves.

Derpy and Luna looked at each other for a few seconds, both in shock and bewilderment, but did as the voice asked.

“Princess Luna.”

“Derpy Hooves.”

There was no answer for a moment and the scanning light continued its work of going up and down over the two mares. The voice came back on and gave its answer.

Princess Luna.
Race: Alicorn
Sex: Female

Derpy Hooves
Race: Pegasus
Sex: Female

Identities....Approved. Please enter for configuration.

“Configuration?” Luna said, but her question was quickly forgotten as she watched the mechanical door slide open slowly.

The door slid all the way open and the two equines didn’t hesitate in satisfying their curiosity and seeing what was hidden behind it. The two entered the room with the mechanical door closing behind them and what they saw before them made both mares’ eyes gawk in awe and disbelief.

The room was exactly identical to the one they were just in except for two machines that stood in front of the two. There were metal platforms on the bottom and two hoof-shaped indentures within it. Two giant mechanical rings were intertwined with each other on both machines with clamps on the sides of them.

Princess Luna and Derpy knew exactly what they were and for a moment, completely forgot about the problem of their friends as their minds processed what was before them.

“Luna, are these-there’s no way that-are they...?”

“They are,” Luna finished.

It was in this moment that Luna knew for a fact that the helmets had worked, despite her not recognizing exactly where she was, but there was no doubt about what these machines were. She had seen them in the game before and knew what their purpose was.

Indescribable excitement and pleasurable disbelief welled up in both mares, but reveling in such emotions was quickly interrupted by the robotic voice from earlier.

Configuration process ready. Derpy Hooves and Princess Luna, please enter 67IO’s to begin armor configuration process.

If seeing these glorious machines weren’t enough for the grey pegasus, there was surely no doubt now about what their purpose served.

“Wait, did that just say armor configuration? Are we seriously going to get our own armor?!” Derpy exclaimed as she fluttered her wings in excitement.

“It did,” Luna said in her own disguised excitement, but her mind went back to her friends and she turned to her secret love, “But what about the others? I think maybe we should look for them first before getting too hyped up with getting armor.”

What the buck am I saying?! I want that armor!!

Derpy and Luna both looked at each other for a few seconds then over to the machines, the very devices that would give them armor just like the Spartans they played in the game. The silence between them lasted for what seemed like forever, but both of their equine minds were thinking the same thing.

“You know, maybe we should check out these machines first and then find our friends,” Luna said quickly, “To make sure they work and all, right?”

“Yeah, let’s do that,” Derpy quickly agreed.

Luna figured that their friends had to be around somewhere close since it was more than obvious that they were in the game.

Or maybe she just really wanted some badass armor.

Luna and Derpy made their way over to the peculiar machines, not taking their eyes off them for one second. It was crazy to both of these gaming mares that they were actually going to look like actual Spartans and the reality of this virtual world was now really setting inside their minds.

This was virtual reality. They were going to be kickass Spartans and fight against Celestia and her group.

“So which one do you want?” Derpy asked

Was that really a question? Did it even matter which one? Luna couldn’t help but chuckle at her mare for such a question that had such an obvious answer.

“I’ll take the right one,” the alicorn said and began trotting over to her self-appointed machine.

Derpy simply rolled her crossed eyes playfully and went to the left.

A pair of stairs materialized in front of the two mares as they approached their respective places, making both gamers drops their jaws a bit.

In unison, on separate sides of the room, both alicorn and pegasus ascended the steps until they were both on the metal platforms. Luna looked down and saw the two hoof shaped holes indentured into the platform, but noticed the indentures were near the rear of the metal slab.

Wait, these are for back hooves? What about the front?

Her eyes scanned the platform, looking for some type of prompt or something to place her front hooves somewhere, but found none. She looked over to Derpy’s platform and saw the grey mare simply standing with a wide smile, her back hooves in place and simply waiting for something to happen.

Guess this is it then, Luna figured.

She slipped her silver back hooves into the metal indentures.

Princess Luna: Ready
Derpy Hooves: Ready

Begin Armor Configuration.

Suddenly, metal walls digitally materialized around Luna, enclosing her and the machine and cutting off her view of Derpy.

“What the-?! What’s going on??!” Luna immediately cried, not knowing what was happening and letting fear of the unknown take her.

She summoned her magic within her and concentrated to free herself, but her horn was not channeling it.

What’s happening?! I can't use my magic here?!

[Arrival Remix]

Luna began to pull her back hooves out of the metal indentures but it was too late. Two metal bars clamped over them and the two metal rings of the machine began to move.

Ohshitohshitohshit! Luna screamed in her mind, thinking that she had just made a horrible decision for the both of them and they were somehow going to be obliterated in this digital world.

But this was just the misplaced fear of the new and unknown.

Armor configuration beginning in 3. . .

“Wait! Where’s Derpy?!” Luna exclaimed as she struggled trying to get her back hooves out of the clamps.

This is not what she had seen in the game and her mind and heart was consumed with worry for the pegasus and herself, but she failed to realize that there were changes since they were now part of this virtual world.

. . . 2 . . .

“Derpy! Can you hear me?! Derpy?!” Luna cried out as loud as she could through the walls, but there was no answer and two, transparent gravity tethers shot out from the rotating rings around her lifting her forelegs off the ground and splaying out her entire body until she stood only on her hind legs.

“Wait! Let me out of this! Where’s Derpy?!”

. . . 1 . . .

“Shit! Let me out!!”

Armor processing ready. Prepare for configuration.

Immediately following the command, the rings spinning around her went even faster until they were only a blur in front of the alicorn. Blue lights began to emit from the rings, scanning over her body and she could only watch as her heart worried for her mare on the other side of the walls.

The walls began to make mechanical sounds and revealed several plates opening from them. Metallic arms exited out of them and surrounded the alicorn, ready to complete their unknown purpose.

The lights then suddenly disappeared after a few seconds and the rings stopped on a dime.

Armor processing complete. Begin second phase.

The metallic arms extended towards her with haste and Luna’s wide, teal eyes watched not in fear, but now in amazement as she saw body armor pieces digitalizing in their clamps.

A dark blue chest piece was pressed against the alicorn’s chest while a back piece was pressed against her back. Two interlocking pieces around the shoulders and rib cage clicked together and clamped around her torso.

Whoa!

Luna’s mind had little time to comprehend and take in what was upon her chest, as the metal arms began attaching armor to her entire body. Dark blue leg plates with small white lights were attached along with metal hoof pieces that formed over her silver ones.

“Gah!” Luna yelped as she felt something cold squeeze one of her flanks, making her turn her head to see that the one of the metallic arms had seemingly groped her backside.

Flank Size: Petite
Re- analyze. . .

“Hey! My flank isn’t that small!” Luna retorted with blushing cheeks, though this probably wasn’t the appropriate time for such a comment.

Luna felt two more pieces attach to her both her flanks. The pieces locked around her inner thighs as she heard them click and lock into place, but the best part was yet to come for the mare.

Within seconds, her entire body, with the exception of her head, was covered in dark blue and black armor. The metallic arms retracted back into the wall plates and the gravity tethers that held her upper body gently lowered her until she was back on all fours.

The metal clamps around her back hooves unlatched, freeing the princess, but Luna had completely forgotten about her earlier bondage.

Her eyes scanned over her armored body. Engraved on the corner of her chest piece was her gamertag and the number 343 next to it. She lifted one of her legs and looked in awe at the dark blue metal. It wasn’t the fact that she was seeing it, but she was actually wearing it. She turned her head to look at the rest of her body and found that her cutie mark was imprinted on both her flank pieces.

There was a change though that made the alicorn squee. Her cutie mark had her moon and black splotches, but there was an addition of a Covenant energy sword that was crossed with her crescent moon.

But there was one piece missing; the crème de le crème of the entire set.

Where’s the helmet?

As if the machine had read the regal’s mind, one of the walls that surrounded her de-materialized in front of her and a dark blue helmet sat on a small metal table that lifted out of the ground. Luna walked over to it as her metal-covered hooves clapped against the floor.

“No bucking way,” Luna said to herself as she put her hooves on the helmet and took in its details.

It was a Mark VI helmet with a full dark blue color. The visor was black, but it wasn’t one Luna had ever seen. She could see what looked like small sparkling stars within the black visor, as if the visor itself was the night sky without a moon.

She took the helmet in her hooves and slowly began to put it on, trying to contain her utter gamer excitement. She put the head piece on, feeling the padding around her neck and sides of her face.

Begin Phase 3. HUD optimization and Loadout configuration.

The visor screen flashed on and a small loading bar appeared in the middle of it.

Luna’s heart pumped furiously within her chest and her fur stood up on her neck. She couldn’t comprehend that she was actually wearing Spartan armor and now really inside the helmet of one. It was hard for her not to get over-excited and start hyperventilating while making a wet mess of herself from her metaphorical girl boner.

The loading bar made it to one hundred percent. A motion radar flashed on near the bottom left corner of her visor along with her shield bar at the top.

Select loadout Princess Luna. . .

Suddenly another wall dematerialized and behind it was an enormous cache of weapons along with armor abilities.

“Holy shit!” Luna blurted, seeing the assortment of weapons as she trotted over to the cache.

Battle rifles, DMR’s, Carbine’s, Assault rifles, pistols and plasma pistols, frags, plasma grenades; all of it was present.

She turned her head to see all of the armor abilities besides the cache of weapons. Active camo, hologram, jet pack, promethean vision, regeneration field, and the hardlight shield waited to be chosen by the regal.

And she knew exactly what she wanted.

She grabbed a battle rifle and ran her hoof over it. It was surreal that she was actually holding the real thing and to make it better, she was going to use it to pwn her sister and her team.

Next, she picked up two plasma grenades. They were shiny and she smiled deviously as she looked over the button that would activate them.

Tia likes to get stuck all the time by some stallion, so these would be more than fitting for her.

Luna attached the weapon to her back and attached her plasma grenades to her belt and chose her secondary weapon, the plasma pistol. If there was one mistake that Celestia had made in challenging her to this match, it was letting her pick the map.

Ragnarok was full of vehicles and she would be damned if Celestia or any of her team was going to try and splatter her.

Last but not least, Luna chose her armor ability.

She picked the module up and attached it to the compartment for it on her back. Her HUD in her helmet began adjusting itself, showing her new additions.

Her ammo count appeared in the top right of her visor and her armor ability, promethean vision (fuck campers), flashed on near her motion radar, ready to be used.

Loadout Complete. Armor Configuration Process Complete.

The remaining walls dematerialized and Luna quickly looked for the other machine that Derpy had entered, but it wouldn’t be needed. As soon as the last wall disappeared, a metallic grey armored pony stood in front of her with only a blonde tail showing.

“Derpy!” Luna exclaimed, not forgetting how worry she was worried earlier for the pegasus but now letting the mare’s appearance take hold of her focus, “You look awesome!”

The pegasus’ visor was a shiny metallic frost color and Luna was not surprised by the weapons she saw on her friend’s back; an Assault Rifle and pistol. Derpy’s gamertag was also engraved on her chest with the number 117 next to it.

“Thanks! You do too Luna. Your visor looks super badass,” Derpy replied with a squee following right after it.

They looked each other over, complimenting and expressing their amazement of what they now were. They showed off their weapons to each other and began discussing tactics and how they were both going to whip some flank.

They were no longer two mares in front of a television with controllers playing a game. They were Spartans and replacing their controllers were weapons that they couldn’t wait to use on Celestia’s team of unfortunate victims.

But there was still one problem that needed to be solved that the two friends had almost forgot amidst the excitement.

“Hey wait,” Derpy began as she put her pistol away, “What about the rest of our friends? We still don’t know where they are.”

“Crap, I almost forgot,” Luna replied, but once again, as if the robotic voice knew their questions before they asked, an answer came.

Derpy Hooves configuration process complete. Princess Luna armor configuration process complete.

Commencing transportation. Destination Ragnarok. Rendezvous at Lunar Base.

A mechanical sound of sliding plates on the metallic ground made both mares turn. A dark grey metal platform rose from the ground with two pole-like structures on each side. A small spark flashed in the center of the two and immediately a spinning, blue portal appeared in the middle of the structures.

“I guess that answers that then,” Luna chuckled.

Please enter. Match will begin in two minutes. Have a good day.

Derpy and Luna smiled behind their visors and locked and loaded their weapons. They walked over to the spinning portal with all worries and doubts gone about this new world they were in. The two looked at each other and read each other’s mind.

“Bet I can get more kills than you,” Derpy teased, letting her competitiveness and hype rise in her.

Luna grabbed her battle rifle and smirked.

“You’re on.”

The two went through the portal.

Derpy Hooves and Princess Luna, the best gaming mares in all of Equestria, were armored and more than ready to own and dominate.

Author's Note

Sorry I took so long. I'm already expecting for some to get pissed because they thought this would be the fight. I'm a meticulous person when I write and I like to cover even the most smallest details. Can't just jump in straight to it. I'm challenging myself to describe the world and new settings.

I promise the fight is next chapter, just had to get Derpy and Luna set up.

And sorry for the long wait. Life you know? I will be trying to update on a weekly or two week basis. TRY.

Level 17 Part 2

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

The red light in her visor flashed the words repeatedly, but there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Shielding Offline! Take cover!

But she couldn’t. There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. The dirt ground she laid on was all she had. Her friends were occupied with the others, trying their best to not be the pony that lost the game.

They wouldn’t have to worry though. In mere moments, she was going to bear that title.

Her visor was cracked, but it didn’t obstruct the view of the barrel of the silver pistol that was pointed right at her face. Luna’s eyes looked over to the score near the corner of her HUD.

Lunar Team: 150

Solar Team: 240

She couldn’t believe it, but the score was there. How could she have seen this coming? Of all ponies, she was going to be beat by the very one that was the worst in video games.

Or at least she thought the very worst.

Her eyes looked back up to the pistol and then up at a pony covered in white armor, bearing the cutie mark of the sun on her chest.

“Luna! We’re coming Luna!”

She heard Lyra’s voice and then she heard the others, all discussing how they could somehow stop her sister from taking the winning kill.

It was too late though and they would have to pull a miracle out of their asses to come back and win from such a deficit.

“So little sister,” she heard her beloved nemesis say as she took off her helmet and held a satisfied smile, “What was that about karma being a bitch?”

Luna grit her teeth, seeing that Celestia was enjoying this and relishing that she had beaten her.

How did this bucking happen?? How did they beat us? How did she beat me?!

The gun clicked.

“And you know what this means right?”

Luna knew full well what it meant and her face turned a violent red as the image took shape in her mind, because soon it would be a reality.

“I know Tia. A deal’s a deal, so how about you stop rubbing it in and just end this so we could get on with the day.”

Celestia shrugged playfully.

“If you say so Luna...”

The alicorn closed her eyes. She couldn’t believe that she had lost. All that shit talk and confidence was dismantled by her sister and now she was going to pay for it in the form of striped socks and ass-tight panites.

“...but I can’t wait to see how sexy you’re going to look.”

There was a bang.

Then only silence remained.

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 17-2

Gamer Luna: The Rookie

Earlier. . .

“Holy shit I’m loving this gun right now..”

“Be careful where you point that thing Vinyl.”

“Don’t get your tail in a bunch Bon Bon, I know what I’m doing.”

“Trixie doesn't think so. Maybe it’s best for the lowly DJ to sit out this game and watch greatness at work as Trixie goes out and dominates all!”

“Ha! Yoursh gonna get dominatesh!” she slurred, which added to the humor of the situation.

“I don’t know Berry, she may like that kind of stuff.”

“You’re one to talk Lyra.”

Princess Luna and Derpy Hooves simply watched as their armored friends bickered and shit talked each other. It had only been a few minutes since they all had reunited from what they dubbed as ‘The White Room’ and ended up inside one of the bases on the map.

There was a ramp that led to the outside and above them a small glass looking pathway that acted as a ceiling. The detail was exactly what it was supposed to be within the game. The metals and alloys were perfect and even the pillar that erected out of their base shot it’s usual beams of light here and there.

This was truly a virtual reality for them. Everything looked real from their environment, to their armor, and even the bullets they had loaded into their weapons.

Now they simply waited. In all of their HUD’s there was a timer that counted down to the start of the match.

Luna looked over to hers.

Two minutes left.

That was two minutes until the beginning of the end for her beloved sister. For once, she knew that she had the upper hoof on her sister. Celestia knew nothing about gaming and she made a mistake in trying to challenge the gamer princess to such a thing.

Luna was determined to show her sister how royally she bucked up in the most badass fashion that she can.

Wonder if I should just snapshot her across the map?

Her mind wandered. There was so many ways she could take her down, but she couldn’t choose. Regardless, every one of them made her smile.

Was it a bit creepy and disturbing that she was imagining all the ways she could ‘kill’ her sister?

Possibly.

But her thoughts were halted as Derpy gained her attention.

“Maybe I should’ve picked out the BR than the assault rifle,” she heard Derpy say as she examined her weapon.

“But you do just fine with the Assault Rifle. We already decided that you should get the sniper rifle when we start. It will be a nice backup in case somepony gets close to you.”

There was no arguing that Derpy was the best sniper out of all them. Even with crossed eyes, she would put Deadshot to shame. She was the type of sniper that could tell you how and when she will get you, and no matter what you did, she would somehow find you and pop you right in the dome.

One bullet was all she needed.

Derpy took off her helmet, setting it on the metal floor next to her as she continued looking over the rifle

Luna did the same and held onto her helmet with her foreleg.

“I wouldn’t worry about it Derpy. This is going to be quick anyways. We’re going to demolish my sister’s team.”

Derpy looked up to her with a face of uncertainty accompanied with a small, almost nervous, laugh.

“Well you never know Luna. Isn’t this really your first time actually playing against her? I mean, look at you. You’re really good, so maybe she is too?”

Luna eyed her with confusion, a bit taken back by Derpy’s statement. Did she actually think that they actually had a real fight ahead?

The alicorn knew for a fact that her sister was nothing like her when it came to gaming and it was surprising that her best friend and secret love was actually doubting herself.

“There’s no way in Tartarus that Tia is going to beat us Derpy,” Luna reassured, “You and I have much more experience than her and her team put together.”

Luna looked over to their friends.

“And we have all of them with us.”

Derpy chuckled and it was apparent that she was taking Luna’s encouraging words to heart.

“Yeah, even Trixie right?” the pegasus smartly remarked with a grin

Luna nodded with a smile of her own.

“Yeah, even Trixie.”

The two watched their friends bicker on as they now discussed who was going to do what and how many kills they thought they were going to walk away with. Of course, a certain magician didn’t care about how many kills she got, which would likely be none, but considering that this was Celestia they were facing, Luna figured she had a chance to get at least one in.

“I don’t know if Twilight plays video games, but I’m sure she could beat you anyday Trixie. You just suck horn that bad,” Vinyl said, trying to shut the magician up about how she was going to beat her arch-nemesis.

But Trixie wouldn’t relent in her opposition against Vinyl.

“We will see who will be sucking horn! The Great and Talented Trixie will beat Twilight! Mark Trixie’s words!”

The group along with Luna and Derpy simply sighed in unison. They all wondered why they still even tried.

Lunar Team! Thirty seconds until Slayer Match; Ragnarok begins!

“Thanks disembodied voice that comes out of nowhere,” Bon Bon stated with a seemingly annoyed tone.

It was the same monotone voice that Luna and Derpy had heard from earlier in the White Room, which the group of friends assumed was just part of the game.

“Alright girls, it’s time to get hype and whip some flank,” Luna said as she grabbed hold of her helmet and put it back on, making sure it was tight and snug on her head.

Her eyes scanned the inside of her HUD, making sure that everything was perfect and ready for the carnage she was going to wreak upon her sister. After quickly doing a mental check of her shields, ammo count, and motion tracker, she turned her head to see her best friend making sure her own helmet was back on.

A small happiness welled up in her, causing the princess to smile behind her visor. Seeing her fancied mare dressed up in spartan armor was almost surreal, let alone the fact that they were all inside one of their favorite games.

But it was more than just seeing her mare as an armored badass. It was the fact that they both were sharing this experience together and she couldn’t imagine anypony else she would want more by her side.

Ten seconds.

The monotone voice made Luna come back into focus and she switched into her game mode mentality.

“Okay everypony, “ she began as they all readied their weapons in hoof and got into a circle, ready to listen, “You all know what to do right?”

They all nodded and sounded off their parts.

“Lyra, Berry, and I will take the Warthog and put down some distracting fire so Derpy can do what she does, and once she gets in position we’ll keep the right side with the downed pelican locked down,” Bon Bon said.

“Ish call the driver!” the drunken mulberry colored armor mare said.

“Yeah, I don’t think so,” Bon Bon said looking over to Berry, “I can’t imagine you being a good driver at all. You’re taking passenger.”

Seven seconds.

Luna looked over to Derpy and the muffin mare knew her part.

“I’m going to take the left side of the map and provide sniper fire and give out positions of the others for you guys,” Derpy said with confidence and looked to Vinyl, “How fast do you think you can get to me?”

Five seconds.

“Don’t worry Derps, I got you,” Vinyl said reassuringly and continued on, giving a recap of her objective, “ The mongoose is mine. I’m going to drive up the middle and head for the Spartan Once Laser. Once I have it, I’ll head over to you and provide protection in case somepony tries to go after you.”

They all nodded and looked to Luna and she gave her part.

“I’m taking the Mantis and I’m covering Vinyl from the middle until she can get to Derpy. I’ll do as much damage as I can before getting out of it and destroying it. Everpyony except for Derpy and Trixie will move up on their base and we will pin them and rack up the kills. We’ll have these guys beat within minutes.”

The plan was set and everypony knew their part.

Well, almost everypony.

“Hey! You never told the Great and Powerful Trixie what she will be doing,” the magician said, “Trixie demands you give her an objective that involves Twilight Sparkle.”

They all looked at her and Derpy answered the eager unicorn.

“Uhhh, we kinda decided you just stay here and uhhh, you know, not get killed,” the muffin mare said as politely as she could.

“What??!!” Trixie blurted, “That’s not fair! Trixie is a great gamer! Trixie can beat anypony with both her hooves tied! Trixie can-!”

But the rest we’re not having it.

“No!” they all said in unison, “Stay!”

The magician huffed and took off her helmet and sat on the metal ground and crossed her forelegs, muttering something under her breath.

Game start! Infinity Slayer! Eliminate the other team!

The anticipated words sounded like music to Luna’s ears. Immediately after the disembodied voice announced the start of the match, a cylinder container materialized in front of them, revealing a brand spankin’ new sniper rifle.

Without hesitation, the mailmare grabbed it with her armored hoof and cocked it, ready to pop some headshots.

“So who’s ready to some smack some bitches?” Derpy snickered.

“Awww yeah!” Vinyl cheered as she charged out from the ramp and to the outside, “Let’s go kick some ass!”

“Let’s do this!” Bon Bon and Lyra said in unison as they followed right behind the DJ.

“Lesh gish this oversh with, I neesh a drink,” Berry Punch slurred as she staggered behind.

Derpy followed behind the drunkard and Luna followed suit, but before she could go to the outside and begin her onslaught of badassery, the magician spoke up.

“You know, Trixie wishes you guys would give Trixie a chance to show how good she is, “ the unicorn huffed, still holding her pouting demeanor.

The princess looked back at the disgruntled mare.

Maybe I should give her something to do. It really isn’t fair to just have her sit there.

Luna knew that Trixie was not the greatest gamer she had ever seen-well actually- she was the worst, but that was beside the point. Trixie was part of their group and it really wasn’t fair to just have her sit out the game.

But the alicorn didn’t want to risk Trixie being the reason they lost. It wasn’t that she was afraid of Celestia being actually good or anything, but this wasn’t to say the same for the rest of her sister’s team.

Luna couldn’t risk losing.

The last thing she wanted to do was be in very sexy socks and panties and go to a party that couldn’t be innocent in nature if her sister was going to it.

“Look Trixie,” Luna said, coming up with a quick solution, “We need you to stay here in case anypony from their team comes around and tries to camp the area. Your job is to make sure they don’t get into our base. We don’t want them taking us down as we respawn and taking our vehicles right?”

But this answer still didn’t satisfy her.

“Trixie doesn't want to stay back. Trixie wants to find Twilight Sparkle and finally beat her and show her how great Trixie is!”

Damnit Trixie. I don’t have time for this.

There seemed to be no way of reasoning with Trixie unless it involved giving her Twilight, which Luna wasn’t going to risk. By the time Trixie would get a kill on Twilight, which wasn’t saying she would, she would be killed ten times over and some.

Simply put, Trixie would get her ass ravaged to hell and back.

“Hey are you coming? Bon Bon and Lyra are already in the hog and we’re waiting for you,” she heard Derpy say over her built in comms inside her helmet.

“Yeah I’m coming,” Luna replied and quickly looked over to Trixie before leaving her, “Look just stay here and if anypony comes around that’s not us, you take them down.”

With that, Luna turned and quickly went up the metal ramp. The shade from the base was quickly overtaken by artificial sunlight as she stepped out onto the dirt. Luna’s teal eyes went wide seeing her environment behind her visor. The clouds that hung over them slowly moved above and she could even see what looked like bird-like creatures in the sky.

“Woah,” she said to herself as her focus was being taken seeing by a world that wasn’t real, but yet here she was within it.

That awe and admiration was quickly broken though.

“Hey, uh, you just gonna stare at shit or are we gonna play?” Vinyl said over her comm.

Luna looked over to the white armored DJ and saw she was ready to go, mongoose and all. Lyra was sitting in the driver seat of the Warthog while her lover stood ready at the gun and their drunk friend spewing profanities about wanting another drink. Luna turned her head to see Derpy standing next to the Mantis, ready for her signal.

The alicorn went over to the Mantis as it sat idly, waiting to be commanded, and Luna couldn’t help but have a girl boner over it. She could see the immense chain gun attached to it one of its arms while the other held a thick and shiny missile launcher.

It seemed to call to her, asking to be dominated by her awesome skills.

She was happy to oblige.

She looked back to her friends before getting into her mass weapon of destruction and she smiled wide. She couldn’t help the rising excitement within her and she gave her last piece of encouragement to the others.

“Let’s go kick some ass!” she cheered as she lifted her rifle and they all gave a strong ‘Hell yeah!’.

With that, Lyra started up the hog while Bon Bon readied the gun and the couple took off, ready to cause havoc.

Vinyl revved up her Mongoose and drove down the metal ramp that held the little off-roader.

“Well you better get going Luna,” Derpy said, making Luna turn back to her, “We got some royal flank to kick.”

****

“We got one in a ghost and another in the Mongoose! They’re coming over to your side Derpy!”

“Got it! Vinyl you got that Spartan Laser ready?!”

“Charging it!”

“I got the guy in the other Mantis!” Luna said as she maneuvered her mech to ready its missiles. The group of friends were all running with the plan, but things were still chaotic. Their voices filled her comms but Luna was focused.

The bright holographic screens within the mech showed what was in front of her and to her peripherals. She could hear bullets flying off the metal of her weapon from the enemy Mantis, but instead of throwing her mind into a frenzy, she was finding it exhilarating.

To hear the sounds of virtual bullets and explosions around her, the adrenaline filled voices of her friends, and her goal of destroying her sister made her feel as if this was real.

The reality of this game seemed to be true to her.

Lyra killed Nexus

Lunar Team: 20

“Got the guy in the mongoose,” she heard Lyra say.

Vinyl lasered Sketch

“Lasered the Ghost,” Vinyl stated, “The enemy Mantis is still up though.”

“I’m handling it!” Luna replied, “I see him coming over the hill in the center!”

She maneuvered her Mantis, having its two legs strafe to the side, trying to line up the missile launcher before she let them fire. She didn’t want to waste such rockets and miss her target. It would prove problematic for the others if she couldn’t take this player down.

A mini map appeared on the left holographic screen, showing the entirety of the map. Her mind was already planning her next step for the possible outcomes: Take the enemy mantis down and move up towards the enemy base while her friends try to lock down the sides or if somehow she couldn’t maintain herself, try her best to take down the mantis on hoof, and rendezvous on Derpy’s position and from there have all ground players move up on their base while all vehicular units be used as distraction.

The ending result would be a massacre and landslide win.

But for now, her mind had to be pulled to the present.

“I can put some sniper bullets down on it if you need help,” Derpy informed, considering that the sniper rounds penetrated armor pretty well if this virtual reality held true to the game.

But Luna would not have that. Though it would be helpful, she wanted to take this player down. Not for anything personal, but her inner gamer wanted the satisfaction of destroying her opposer.

“No I got this, just take down anypony that may have the same idea as you.”

“Alright, I’ve spotted one pony getting on another mongoose but I don’t have a clear shot. I’ll let you know if their mantis gets back up.”

Luna left it at that, knowing that Derpy and her an understanding of how that inner gamer inside craves such challenges.

But this was more than a craving inside the princess, it was something much more fierce.

She positioned the arm of her mantis with the respective control as she charged up the rockets within it and in seconds, she saw her target come on top of the hill and watched as it turned to her.

Gotch’ ya!

Immediately she fired off all the rockets and began unloading into her target with the chain gun. She felt her entire body shake as the chain gun fired and she watched bullets and rockets slam into the enemy mech. The rush of adrenaline that was coursing through her body was beyond exhilarating.

The opposing Mantis immediately strafed, trying to avoid the barrage of rockets that Luna had fired its way, but it would not come out of it unscathed. Two rockets were able to hit its mark and the alicorn watched with a smile as the mech seemed to stagger a bit from the hit along with the bullets that were pummeling the armored weapon.

She was lost within the virtual carnage she was unleashing on this guy.

But she was not noticing something that should’ve been obvious for a pro gamer like her. Despite all the punishment she was dealing on this guy, there was no retaliation from him.

The alicorn paid no regard to it though. All she wanted was the sweet satisfaction of taking down her first kill in this virtual reality.

“Yeah bitch! Take it!” she yelled with a giant smile across her face as the roar of the chain gun reverberated in her ears.

The enemy Mantis began catching fire and black smoke rose from it and within seconds, the hunk of metal exploded and fell to its robotic legs.

Princess Luna killed Theorum

Lunar Team: 30

“Hell yeah!” Luna cried in victory with a cheesy grin behind her visor, “Mantis is down guys! Their Mantis is-”

But her small victory was short lived as red flashing lights came on and her front holographic screen showed in giant red letters ‘Warning!’

“What the?!”

“Luna! You got some pony in black armor climbing right on the back of you!” she heard Derpy yell over comms, “I’m gonna dome-”

“No!” Luna said, “Stick to the plan Derpy! I can handle this!”

“But I can easily take him out! He’s going to hijack you!”

But the princess was not accepting her friend’s offer.

She didn’t want to be the cause of her friend wasting a bullet on some scrub that she could easily deal with. Luna also was still lost within the thrill of being in what seemed a real life slayer match and she wanted to do it all herself.

“I got it Derpy!” she replied as she began getting up from her seat as flashing red lights continued on, trying to warn its controller of the danger that was about to happen, “Just focus on the others! I’m not getting taken down by no pony!”

It was a bold claim. Luna was good, very good in fact, but she was not considering that these were ponies she really didn’t know all that well, at least to the point of knowing how good they were when it came to video games let alone the fact that this was much different than just sitting in front of a tv and using a controller.

The only thing in her mind was the goal to win and more specifically, take down her sister and finally show her how way over her head she was in trying to challenge her.

Time to get this bastard off my Mantis.

Luna opened the hatch of her Manits, letting the artificial sunlight hit her visor as she drew her Battle Rifle that was magnetically attached to her back. She knew that her BR wasn’t probably the best option as she did have a plasma pistol and could charge it to EMP her enemy’s sheilds, but she didn’t have the time.

And we all now she won’t do that cause fuck you people who do that shit. (Charge PP and headshot. Blow me)

I’ll surprise him and shoot him off.

She made a small plan up in her mind and as she climbed out the hatch, she saw the black armored pony that her blonde mare was referring to.

The pony was decorated in a venator helmet with two colored frost pointed down v-slits and his venator armor was decorated in black and white streaks. She noticed he wore a DMR on his back, but more importantly, a small blue orb that he held in his hoof as he hung onto the back of her mech and etched into it was the name Deadinlight.

“Oh hell no!” Luna said and pointed her BR and immediately began firing the three round burst weapon straight into him.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!” the stallion obnoxiously yelled out as bullets collided with his shield, but it didn’t deter the pony from what he came to do.

With quickness, Deadinlight activated the plasma grenade and threw it straight at the alicorn as he jumped off of it. Princess Luna reacted and ducked before the sticky blue ball could plant itself on her helmet, but instead of her face meeting it, the hatch that she had opened met the deadly covenant explosive.

Her eyes went wide as she looked up and saw where it had landed. Her gamer knowledge immediately kicked in and she knew that she had a very tiny time slot to get out of this situation before she went up in flames.

Three seconds. After a plasma grenade adheres to its target, a three second fuse is engaged.

Her equine body went into auto pilot as she wasted no time in thinking about any other solutions. The stuck plasma grenade called only for ultimatum: get out or be blown up.

3…
Luna climbed out the hatch and was met with the sound of a DMR and bullets whizzed past her as she stood on top of the mech and prepared to jump off, hoping to avoid a fiery demise.

“BEEEEEEEEEP!”

The black and white venator armored stallion fired off his DMR, firing shot after shot, trying to make Luna hesitate and waste precious seconds being on the Mantis. His plan was to either keep her on there in hopes that she went down with it, or take her down himself in case she was able to escape the metal weapon.

2…

Despite the bullets whizzing past her, and some even hitting her taking her shields down to 40%, she didn’t lose her focus and let herself panic. She jumped off the Mantis and rolled onto the dirt and grass, but the threat of the ticking time bomb was still there. Simply because she was off of it didn’t mean she was safe from the impending explosion. There was still splash damage to consider and she had no intention being next to the mech.

1…

Luna recovered from her roll and immediately began charging the beeping stallion, firing her BR at him.

“C’mon! You’re going to have to do better than that!” she taunted.

0…

The Mantis that Luna had commandeered exploded, falling on its own two metal legs and slumping over, but the alicorn had no concern for it. She had escaped it and now had to deal with the one that attempted to end her.

Deadinlight quickly strafed to the side and got behind a nearby boulder, trying to reduce the damage that he was taking as Luna charged him. He fired in retaliation while making his way to cover, but saw that his ammo count was getting low and he would have to reload soon.

26% on shields Luna thought to herself, being mindful of her own being.

But she had the advantage. During her charge she was able to land enough shots on the stallion to break his shields and leave him vulnerable before he was able to take cover.

I need to finish him off before his shields get back up.

And so she didn’t stop. Luna followed the pony straight to where he took cover and found him standing, trying to reload his weapon until his head turned to her and noticed that she was not a player that was afraid to be aggressive.

“Got ya bitch,” she proclaimed and before he could draw his secondary on her, she fired her BR and popped him in the head. The stallion fell to the ground and dissipated into many little pixels, but there was something odd.

Luna looked over to the score to see if it had changed.

Lunar Team: 30
Solar Team: 0

“Huh? I just killed that guy, we should be up another ten,” Luna said to herself, perplexed as to why the score hadn’t changed.

She decided to check on the others for a moment and see why their score was stagnant, her mind quickly changing gears and immediately forgetting that crucial detail moments ago. Her mind was so set on finding Celestia that it didn’t matter why the score didn’t change. All she wanted was Celestia under her hooves.

“Hey guys, what’s going on?”she asked over the comm, “We should be up more than this, are we just not finding ponies?”

“We’ve been driving around and have only taken that Ghost down,” Lyra answered along with the background sound of the Warthog.

“Okay. Derpy, have you seen anypony?”

“No, just the ones I had called out earlier, but other than that, I haven’t seen any of them.”

Luna was confused. How was it that they had only seen at least three ponies when there was nine of them? More importantly, why hasn’t her sister and Twilight been spotted? The nagging feeling of wanting to find her sister and personally take her down was now more apparent than ever.

“Keep your eyes out girls. I don’t know what these scrubs are doing, but hiding won’t win them th-”

Luna stopped as she noticed her motion tracker on the HUD. She saw a red dot appear and that it was very close to her.

There’s somepony here too? How are they hiding this well to get past Derpy and the others?

Lyra, Bon Bon, and Berry were out on Warthog while Vinyl and Derpy were searching for potential victims. There shouldn’t have been anypony that could get past the mid section of Ragnaraok without being noticed.

“What was that princess? Is the comms working Derpy?” she heard Vinyl say.

“It’s, uh, nothing, just watch out for them. I think I may have another here near me,” Luna said, shifting all her focus to this new potential threat.

“Are you sure you don’t need help Luna? I’m not finding anypony on the other side. I might be able to take him out easy and you can-”

“No Derpy, I got this. I don’t need the help.”

“Um okay, I guess,” replied an unsure pegasus, but Luna paid no mind. The game had her and she wanted to do it all herself.

Luna quickly reloaded her BR and readied it, slowly moving towards the boulder that her previous victim had tried to seek refuge in. As the sound of her metal plated hooves taking step by step filled her ears, her heart began pounding in her chest.

If you think you are going to surprise me, you got another thing coming.

Luna put into effect her armor ability and in an instant her visuals turned into a dark blue color and she saw the pony light up like a Hearth’s Warming tree. The pony’s heat signature was clear as day to her and she could see him hugging the boulder with his back, weapon at the ready.

The alicorn smirked and laughed inside. It was amusing to think that this pony thought that he was going to get the jump on her, but her smirk quickly left her face as the pony turned his head, seemingly looking for her to come around the corner.

His helmet..a venator helmet?!

And then it happened. In a blink of an eye, she noticed another red blipping dot that was right behind her and her teal eyes went wide, realizing what was going on.

“Shit!” she said as she whipped around and pointed her weapon, but the pony behind her already was too close and hit the weapon out her hooves and punched her, sending her to the ground.

“I got her guys!” she heard him say, “Two of them are on the side, one with a sniper rifle and another with a Spartan Laser!”

The name Brawny Spirit was etched into the chest piece of his dark purple armor. He rocked the entire Defender Armor set accompanied with a dark orange visor and an assault rifle that was on his back along with a big ass knife he held in his hoof.

“You got her Spirit?” she heard the pony from behind the boulder call out.

“Yeah,” he replied, “Tell Sketch and Theo to roll out the Warthog and take theirs out. Nexus is in position to get the sniper and spartan laser along with Beat Bot. I think Windy Quill got a hold of the Incineration Cannon and is heading over to the downed Pelican.”

And as if on cue, as soon as he spoke out their plan, the comms went into disarray.

“We got enemy Warthog coming out of their base!” Derpy said, “They’re coming after you Bon Bon, I’ll lay down a few-oh crap!”

Twilight Sparkle killed Vinyl Scratch with a headshot appeared in faint small lettering over her visor.

“Twilight is sniping! I don’t know where she’s posted!” Derpy cried out.

Solar Team: 10

But Vinyl was only the first of a string of casualties that was unfolding.

Lyra has been killed by Theo.

Solar Team: 20

“Horse feathers, we lost Lyra!” Bon Bon said over the comms along with the sound of a machine gun that sounded like death, “Berry climb over and get on the gunner! Berry?! BERRY! Damnit she passed out from the cider! I don’t know how much more this hog can-” but before she finishes her sentence, her voice cuts out, and the sound of an explosion was followed after.

Theo killed Bon Bon and Berry Punch (Double Kill!)

Solar Team: 40

Luna couldn’t understand what was going on as she listened and laid on the ground. It seemed their small plan was falling apart due to the patience of her sister’s team, but how was this? How were they coming out of nowhere all of a sudden?

“You can come out from behind the boulder Dead. I got her down,” Spirit said as he drew his pistol and pointed it at the alicorn.

“Alright I’m coming out, Nexus was just telling me that him and Beat Bot are fighting the blonde mare right now and once they’re done with her, he will head over to their base.”

“Wait what?!” Luna blurted, looking over to Deadinlight as he came out from behind the rock,”I just headshot you a few moments ago?! How are you still here? You should be back at the respawn point!”

“Yeah he should be, especially for all the damn beeping he’s been doing since we started,” Spirit added.

“Hologram,” he simply stated, “Those things actually help.”

But that sent Luna into more confusion. She knew about the Hologram ability, but they didn’t react to actions. They simply ran in a straight line from where they were deployed or stayed still.

A hologram? That’s bullshit! Holograms can’t react!

Luna’s mind raced on how that could be true. A hologram would not try to draw a weapon at the enemy, and a simple explanation came up.

Celestia! She must be using hacks or something! I should’ve known that she knew she couldn’t beat us, so now she’s giving her team hacks to beat us!

It made sense to her. Her sister was not beyond doing something to that caliber.

“Holograms shouldn’t do that,” she retorted, “What hacks did my sister give you? You know that doesn't make this a fair match if that’s what you two are using right?”

“Uh what?” Deadinlight said as he came over and stood next to Spirit, “What hacks? All I did was activate my hologram and hide behind the rock to reload while I waited for this guy. It did all that by itself.”

And thus, Luna’s mind was confused even more. In the game, a hologram wouldn’t react in such a way and it was pretty easy to distinguish between a player and a hologram.

So what was this? If it wasn’t hacks then what was it?

It alters the game of which you’re in, of course make it seem real, but also real within the game’s rules. For example, Spartans possess significant strength. In turn, you the player will have that same ability.

The words of her sister rang in her head.

She realized that the helmets letting them have this experience were doing exactly what they were supposed to. It was like the game, but it took the concept of a reality more literal than the virtual counter-part.

A hologram would be able to react, just not be able to inflict damage. Their purpose was to trick the enemy into thinking they are the player, and that’s exactly what they did.

Real within the game’s rules...the helmets altered some of the rules.

Maybe the game was subject to whatever the rules that the helmets dictated or whoever programmed them.

Regardless, she was still in a situation that she needed to get out of quickly.

“So, uh, why haven’t you guys killed me yet?” Luna asked, though a plan had already formed in her head.

Both stallions looked at each other and then at her.

“I think were still trying to get over how cool this is,” Spirit said, “But yeah you're right, we probably should off you and get-”

Luna drew the knife that was strapped to her inner thigh and threw it, making it lodge right into Brawny’s head.

“Holy bucking beep!” Deadinlight exclaimed as he stared at his teammate who now just stood there with the knife in his head and poked him with his hoof, “Are you okay dude?”

Spirit turned his head at him and nodded.

“This is freaking awesome!” and with that, Spirit dissipated into pixelated particles, leaving the knife behind as it dropped on the ground.

“Well then,” Deadinlight said in a unsure tone after witnessing his teammate’s head getting impaled by a knife, “I probably should kill you now princess.”

He looked over to the ground with his weapon ready to end her, but once he looked, there was no alicorn. But instead, the barrel of a menacing looking shotgun was placed mere inches from his visor, the shotgun itself being held by a mare with a blond mane, her helmet missing with a sniper rifle attached to her back.

“Get away from my teammate.”

The shotgun went off, blowing the stallion a few feet back and before he could hit the ground, he broke into pixels and disappeared.

Derpy Hooves looked over to Luna as she laid on the ground and held her hoof out to help her up.

“Thought you needed some help,” Derpy said, getting the alicorn to her hooves, “I got over here after dealing with two ponies that came after me as fast as I could. They even gave me a nice shotgun to use.”

“Thanks Derpy,” Luna said, picking up her BR and knife from the ground, “But I could've handled them. I was just gonna stick that pony with a plasma before he shot at me.”

Derpy simply nodded, but immediately readied her shotgun again.

Luna followed suit and readied her weapon, but her motion tracker didn’t show anything.

“Do you see somepony Derpy? Nothing is being picked up on radar.”

Derpy was silent for a moment before answering.

“No, but I don’t think the radar works.”

“What?” Luna replied, “Mine was working just fine.”

“Well mine wasn’t. Those two ponies that attacked me were invisible and my radar didn’t even pick up on any scrambler. I think this game is glitched or something,” the pegasus said, keeping her shotgun at the ready.

Derpy was right. When camo was active, it would emit a scrambler that would make red dots on the motion tracker appear everywhere. That was the dead giveaway of somepony using active camo.

“So you’re telling me that there was no sign of a scrambler?” Luna asked for confirmation.

This was not good.

If what her fancied mare said was true, then this would change the game radically and they would have to defer from their belief that this virtual reality would hold true to the game’s mechanics.

“So the majority of her team could be camouflaged?”

“Possibly,” Derpy replied, staying diligent of her surroundings,”And I think we should re-group with the others back at our base and get a new plan going.”

Derpy was right, but Luna didn’t want to waste time in going back and re-plan. The desire to find her sister and take her down was still present within her. Also, something was telling Luna that her sister was still within the security of her own base, probably planning out her team’s next move.

“You go back Derpy.”

“What?”

“You go back and regroup with the others and come up with a counterattack. I’m going to move forward on hoof and find my sister and take out anypony that gets in the way.”

Derpy’s eyes went wide and she immediately protested to the idea.

“But Luna, you know I’m not good with all that stuff. I point out targets and snipe, not make the plans. You always do that and I’m sure by now that they have figured us out. I know you're good, but why not just get everypony together first and we can all go after her?”

Luna shook her head, wanting to be the sole pony that took Celestia down.

“Because knowing my sister, she’s the one that planned what her team did. Hell, she’s probably still at her base with her head up her plot while she makes her teammates do all the work. I’ll be damned if I let her beat me and not raise a hoof to do it.”

Derpy could tell in the tone of Luna’s voice that she was set on this and saw no point in trying to protest more. Derpy knew her princess well, and she knew sometimes her alicorn could be stubborn.

“Okay. We will back you up as soon as we regroup,” she said with reluctance, “But if you can, try to wait for us so we can help you, okay?”

Luna nodded, and not wanting to waste more time, she trotted off to face her sister and left Derpy to her task, but the mailmare stood there a bit longer and stared as Luna went to take down her sister.

The pegasus was confused on why Luna was so set on trying to beat Celestia to the point that she wanted to go and do it alone. She had never seen her fellow gamer throw away tactics and planning simply to get a kill on one pony. It was quite honestly a rookie thing to do.

Regardless, she did what she agreed to and began to run back to the others.

While one ran to find a way to win, the other unwittingly was running right into what would possibly be their downfall.

Level 17

Part 3

The Great and Powerful

“So she went after her sister? Why? Isn’t she the one always saying tactics and communication and all that good stuff win the game?”

The sound of bullets whizzed past Derpy, ricocheting off rock and kicking up dirt near her hooves.

“I don’t know Lyra,” Derpy said, ducking her head real quick as another bullet grazed the top of the rock she took cover behind, “But she’s definitely not herself right now. I told her to wait up for us, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.She seems real set on taking Princess Celestia down.”

“You're damn right that’s not going to happen!” Vinyl yelled, firing her DMR in retaliation while crouching near a low rock in close proximity to Derpy, “We’re never going to be able to help her if we’re pinned here.”

Derpy Hooves had made it back to their base in search of her friends and to somehow make up a new plan of attack, but she was met with more than just friends. Three ponies from Celestia’s team had made it to their side of the map and was taking the liberty of cleaning them all out from it.

The pegasus grabbed her sniper rifle and poked her head out from the side. She could see one pony, covered in Gungnir armor, firing off his Carbine to where Lyra and Bon Bon was holding up. Her crossed eyes began to examine and analyze what would be the most efficient thing to do.

That guy is out in the open, keeping Lyra and Bon Bon busy. Vinyl is trying to kill the guy keeping them busy, but another is keeping her from doing that. The third pony is trying to shoot me, but where is he?

Her head was making a visual layout of their positions, but it was crucial that she knew where the third was. One was out in the open near the side of their base, another behind using their Ghosts for protection, and the third was unknown due to her vision being blocked by the rock she used for cover.

More bullets whizzed by her, making her jerk her head back behind the safety of her rock.

I’m not going to be able to get a good look at where this guy is. C’mon Derpy think. None of these guys has taken us down yet, so either they are just wasting bullets or they suck horn aiming.

Her mind began thinking about the weapons their enemy was using. One was using a Carbine obviously, but she started to pay attention to the sound. There was one gun that sounded like complete death and looking at where Vinyl was, she could see that this weapon was firing bullets at crazy speeds.

SAW. One is using the SAW.

That eliminated the possibility of close up combat. She didn’t think that any of them had any intention of being ripped into digital shreds by that thing. Regardless, she now knew there was one Carbine and a SAW.

She closed her eyes, trying to now just focus on the sound of the third weapon. The weapon went off quickly, but had a very different sound to it. It was definitely not a UNSC weapon. Her mind began going through a mental checklist of all Covenant and Promethean weapons. Her eyes scanned the ground near her where shots have met and didn’t notice any burns.

She crossed off Covenant weapons. So that now left Promethean, which wasn’t Derpy’s forte. The mare had only played this game last night and she couldn’t say that she knew all the Promethean weapons, considering that her favorite were UNSC. It seemed her favoritism was beginning to screw her.

“Damnit, this guy doesn't let up! How many bullets does this asshole have?!” Vinyl said in frustration, seeing that she could barely show her herself without a barrage of bullets trying to rip into her.

“Derpy, you have any ideas because one would be great right now!” Bon Bon said over the comms, also frustrated that they were all at a standstill.

Gosh, I told Luna I’m not the one to make plans. Now were going to get our flanks handed to us before we can even make up one. What do I do?

She needed another set of eyes, ones that weren’t occupied by these three ponies.

“Lyra,” Derpy said, “Is Berry awake yet? Have you snapped her out of it?”

“No she’s not even with us. She respawned in the base with Trixie. I’ve tried getting a hold of her and the answer I got was her snoring,” the unicorn said in a deadpanned tone of voice.

Derpy rolled her eyes.

She didn’t get how Berry could’ve passed out from being drunk inside a world that didn’t exist, let alone the fact that she had no cider to bring along with her. Maybe she was eternally drunk. It was a question that may never have an answer.

But that brought another idea in Derpy’s head.

It was a terrible one, but really it was better than nothing.

“Trixie? Trixie can you hear me?”

There was silence for a moment, but the magician spoke up.

“Who calls upon the Great and Powerful Trixie?” she said in her usual high and mighty tone.

Derpy sighed, knowing that the idea she had was probably going to fail due to the magician’s ego, but she had to try. Luna was alone and she wanted to help her as quickly as possible.

“Trixie, we need your help.”

“No we don’t.”

“Stop it Vinyl,” Derpy quickly said and continued on, “We need your help Trixie. We have three guys outside the base and we need to get in there. I need you to spot out somepony for me and tell me a few things.”

Derpy looked over to Vinyl, still crouching behind cover, and was simply shaking her head. Derpy turned to see Lyra and Bon, a little distance away from her position. They were both looking at each other, probably wondering why Derpy was calling upon the assistance of the egotistical mare.

“Oh, now you want the Great and Powerful Trixie’s help? You all should’ve thought about that earlier before making fun of Trixie and having her just sit.”

“C’mon Trixie,” Derpy replied, trying to hold back her own frustration of how the unicorn was acting, “Just do it please. Luna is going to need help, but we need to get in there to get a plan going and re up on ammo. If not, we might lose this.”

But Trixie was not accepting her plea.

“You would be winning if you would’ve let Trixie do what she does best, so Trixie thinks that she won’t help. Trixie thinks-”

“Buck what you think!” Vinyl interrupted, now letting her own agitation run over, “Get over yourself and help damnit! The reason we had you sit out is because you’re a bucking scrub! I don’t get how you don’t see that! And the one thing that Derpy asks you to do, you won’t do it cause you want to be a baby back bitch?!!”

“Vinyl! Stop! That’s not helping!”

“No! Screw this! I’m tired of her always acting like she is so awesome! She always acts like this when we play! Screw this, we don’t need her help! I’ll take these asshats down!”

“No Vinyl! Wait!”

But it was useless. The DJ got up and leaped over and charged.

“Oh hay! C’mon Bon Bon!” Lyra said, seeing what Vinyl was doing. The lovers broke away from their positions and rushed to help Vinyl.

Derpy quickly locked and loaded her rifle, cursing under her breath. Her friends were losing themselves to their own frustrations and she was now regretting letting Luna go alone. If she would’ve been here, they would be under control.

If they were together, they would be doing fine.

Regardless, Luna wanted to do things alone and Derpy didn’t understand how her beloved princess couldn’t see that despite how good she was, when they worked together as a team, they were unstoppable.

But they were not a team right now. Things were falling apart, and falling quickly.

Luna, I hope things are going better on your end.

And with that thought, Derpy broke from her cover and charged.

*****

Hmm. Only two in there? Then this will be cake.

Luna turned off her Promethean Vision, as she had all the info she needed. The alicorn was crouched, hiding on a small cleft far from the side of her sister’s base. The regal had managed to make her way through Ragnarok.

Of course, this wasn’t to say that she didn’t get here with no problems at all. One pony had tried run her over with a Ghost and another tried to impale her with an energy sword.

Unfortunately, the one that drove the Ghost didn’t expect a pony to actually slide underneath the hovercraft while trying to splatter her and stick a plasma on the underside of it, and the other learned quickly not to bring a knife to a gunfight.

It wasn’t all bad though. Despite them wasting her time, she did get a nice new energy sword out of it and knew exactly who she was going to use it on.

She locked and loaded her BR, deciding it was time to go face her sister. With only two of Celestia’s teammates in the structure, Luna was more than confident that she would have little to no trouble making her way inside.

Alright Tia, get ready. I’m coming for you

Luna got up and slid down the slope of the cleft, quickly taking cover behind another boulder before continuing on. The virtual grass swayed softly as her metal covered hooves passed through it.

She kept her eyes and head on a swivel, making sure that there wasn’t any surprises as she cautiously made her way to her sister’s base. It would be unfortunate if she had come all this way to just be face rolled due to carelessness.

Despite this caution though, her mind was stuck on nothing but her sister and not what the rest of the team was doing, and consequently, how quickly the score was changing.

The alicorn came upon the base and quickly went up against the outer wall and slowly skirted about it’s surface. Her weapon was pressed tight upon her chest, and though she could use her Promethean Vision to see if the two ponies she had spotted earlier have moved or possibly somehow knew she was coming, she didn’t want to risk it.

Setting off her armor ability in close proximity to them would definitely let them know that she was here, and there was no point in doing so when there was a still a good chance she had the element of surprise right?

Just take these two out quickly and then show my sister who’s boss here.

Her radar was clear and it seemed all was in her favor as she made her first step into the base. Swiftly she pressed up against one of the inner walls and slowly scooted to the edge trying to keep as quiet as possible.

“Personally I don’t think they are true. Some of the stories I heard are just silly to me.”

“Yeah, but I mean she’s a goddess too. I wouldn’t just throw out the possibility ya know?”

Luna carefully looked over the corner of the wall to see the backs of the two ponies that seemed too engrossed in their conversation to have noticed her. Quietly, she put her weapon on her back and drew her knife attached to her chest. She wanted to make this quick and clean and not alert her sister to her presence once she had dealt with these two.

She wanted to see the look of shock on her sister's face once she got the jump on her and impaled with the energy sword she had acquired from one of her fallen teammates. It was like a dream that was close to finally being realized; a dream of Luna finally getting over her sister and her shenanigans.

“Hiding under beds? Cake fetish? Makes her own frosting with her own bodily fluids? Please, I don’t buy that for one minute. Even if it was true, the question would be why am I not part of this cake eating, bed hiding, hoof licking frosting fantasy here?” a pony in silver Air Assault armor said, with piston in hoof.

The other stallion wore dark forest green C.I.O armor, with a rocket launcher shouldered and pitch black visor.

“Even if that was all true Sketch,” Luna heard the pony in green armor say, “You’re talking as if she would want you part of that fantasy.”

“Yeah? And?”

“You wouldn’t even know how to handle a mare like her.”

Sketch simply scoffed at his teammates jest.

“You wouldn’t know what I would do to her, and even if I didn’t have a clue, I know I would do terrible and disgusting things to that piece of perfection she calls an ass.”

Luna almost felt herself vomit in her mouth hearing these two discuss her sister in such a way. Sketch didn’t know what he was wishing for, and quite frankly, she was ready to end this conversation between the two before it went any further. She didn’t want to take the chance of having to clean her own vomit from her helmet.

But she had to be quick. Once she took action and made herself known, she was sure that her sister would take notice.

Luna slowly broke from the metallic wall she had her back pressed against and began to creep behind them like some hungry timberwolf preparing to pounce upon its prey.

Rocket launcher guy first.

She crept closer, the two ponies still seemingly unaware of their impending demise.

“Like she would even let you Sketch.”

“You lack faith Theo. One day I will find her under my bed and you’re going to be nothing but peanut butter and jealous.”

“Really? You really just said that?” Theo said sarcastically, but then his head immediately turned to something along with Sketch’s which made them stand stiff.

Just a bit closer and-.

But her mind halted as she took notice of their immediate change in posture.

Oh shit!

And as soon as her mind screamed it, there she was.

A pony covered in snow white and metallic golden Fotus armor with a gigantic hammer on her back stood before the two stallions with the notorious sun mark that Luna knew all too well printed on her chest piece.Her visor gleamed of gold, but even such a beautiful visor couldn’t hide Celestia’s pale, magenta eyes from meeting Luna’s.

“Oh!” Celestia quipped, “It looks like my sister came to play.”

“What??!” the two stallions exclaimed and turned around to see their intruder.

It was in this moment that Luna had to act.

She swung her free hoof across the face of Sketch making him stagger and immediately turned her attention to Theo as he pulled out a shotgun, being mindful of what a rocket blast can do to all of them in such closed quarters.

“I got you Sketch!” he yelled as he fired the gun off, but the alicorn quickly sidestepped from the blast and stepped toward the pony, plunging the knife she held in her other hoof into his head, making him dissolve into digital pieces.

Luna turned to Theo as he recovered and came at her with his knife drawn. His hoof swung down, trying to impale her chest, but the princess stopped his attempt with her hoof and used her free one to draw the energy sword she had obtained earlier and impaled him, lifting the stallion from the floor before he followed suit of his teammate.

“Wow,” Celestia said, just standing in the same spot, seemingly amused by the spectacle Luna had just given, “ That was actually pretty cool little sister.”

Luna looked over and smirked behind her visor, keeping distance and her blade at the ready.

“If you thought that was cool, wait until I’m done with you Tia.”

Celestia laughed and drew the Gravity Hammer from her back.

“You won’t be gentle right? You know I like it rough, don’t you Luna?” the Sun Goddess said in a mocking tone.

Luna ignored her dirty comment and pointed the energy blade towards her, confident that this was it. She was going to show Celestia that this deal was hers to win as soon as it was made.

“You didn’t really think that you were going to win this bet right?”

Luna’s confidence was showing. Seeing Celestia before her and the tip of her weapon pointing at her, it gave her a sense of control and power. It felt as if she had everything under control, and no matter how many tricks Celestia had in store, she was going to come out on top.

For what reason?

For the simple fact that she knew Celestia was no seasoned gamer like her.

Celestia simply laughed at her.

“Oh little sister, I won the moment you even agreed to this.”

Luna raised her brow under her helmet.

“Oh yeah? How do you figure that? If you don’t remember, you’re a scrub compared to me.”

The Sun Goddess shouldered her hammer, standing confidently before her and began walking towards Luna.

Luna smirked.

“I hope you know just because you want to act all tough and walk towards me, it’s not going to stop me from wrecking you right?”

Overwhelming confidence and blatant cockiness consumed Luna. She readied her energy sword, ready to go for the easy kill.

Celestia continued walking towards her, her metal covered hooves clapping against the metal floor beneath the two. She seemed to not be deterred from Luna’s threat, nor cared.

It was something that Luna was going to make sure she cared about.

“Have it your way then! Get ready to get owned!” Luna cried out and lunged at her sister.

With all the power she had, she jabbed her blade forward, aiming to run it through the alicorn. She went into tunnel vision, focusing only what she was about to do and the satisfaction that would come after.

As if time itself slowed down for her in this moment, she got closer and closer to her target, Celestia seemingly too slow to react. A wide smile spread across Luna’s face, her heart pounding as hard as a drum in her chest.

But this small moment was quickly shattered.

Her body jerked and her jabbing forearm was quickly put to a halt.

“Huh?!” she blurted, her impending moment of victory quickly coming to a standstill.

She looked over to her foreleg and saw Celestia’s metal hoof gripped onto hers, holding her leg in place while she gripped her energy sword.

Celestia lowered her helmed face down to Luna’s, looking straight into Luna’s teal eyes behind her visor.

“Would you like to know why I say you lost the moment you agreed to this?”

Luna’s eyes were wide. She couldn’t comprehend how Celestia was able to stop her that quickly, and more importantly, how she was strong enough to keep her within her grasp. Her mouth simply hung open, unable to utter a single word in response.

The white alicorn chuckled, amused by her younger sister’s reaction.

“Let me tell you then.”

Her face came closer, so close that Luna could clearly see the smirk across her sister’s face.

“I own you.”

Immediately, Celestia headbutted her, cracking her visor instantly and sent her reeling back. She tried to quickly regain her footing, but she had no time to react to her sister. Celestia’s gravity hammer smashed against the ground next to her, the force of it making her body fly up, hitting the small glass pane above her.

But still, Celestia was not finished. A sound of a jetpack was heard and as Luna came down from her impact, she was lifted in midair and smashed against the glass pane with force.

It was enough force to send the alicorn through the glass and into the air. What seemed like forever, Luna landed with a sick thud onto the dirt ground next to the opposing base. Her armor cracked and her hud began flashing red, warning her of impending doom.

She looked to her side to see her energy blade a few inches from her, but then there was a click of a gun. Her eyes turned above her to see her sister with a pistol pointed at her.

“I don’t think you will be doing that Luna,” Celestia chimed, “Besides, even if you were to take me down, you’re still going to lose. It seems your infatuation with me is going to cost your team the match.

Luna’s eyes looked over to the score near the corner of her HUD.

Lunar Team: 150

Solar Team: 240

She couldn’t believe it, but the score was there. How could she have seen this coming? Of all ponies, she was going to be beat by the very one that was the worst in video games.

Or at least she thought the very worst.

Her eyes looked back up to the pistol and then up at a pony covered in white armor, bearing the cutie mark of the sun on her chest.

“Luna! We’re coming Luna!”

She heard Lyra’s voice and then she heard the others, all discussing how they could somehow stop her sister from taking the winning kill.

It was too late though and they would have to pull a miracle out of their asses to come back and win from such a deficit.

“So little sister,” she heard her beloved nemesis say as she took off her helmet and held a satisfied smile, “What was that about karma being a bitch earlier?”

Luna grit her teeth, seeing that Celestia was enjoying this and relishing that she had beaten her.

How did this bucking happen?? How did they beat us? How did she beat me?!

The gun clicked.

“And you know what this means right?”

Luna knew full well what it meant and her face turned a violent red as the image took shape in her mind, because soon it would be a reality.

“I know Tia. A deal’s a deal, so how about you stop rubbing it in and just end this so we could get on with the day.”

Celestia shrugged playfully.

“If you say so Luna...”

“...but I can’t wait to see how sexy you’re going to look.”

There was a bang.

************

Derpy dove into the entrance of her team's base, bullets barely missing her and ending her virtual life. She quickly got up and turned a corner, pressing her back against the metal wall, watching to see if the trio of stallions was going to come after and end it.

But to her relief, it seemed they were content with just firing shots, letting it be known that they were outside and ready for her anytime she decided to go out.

She slumped to the floor, letting go of her sniper rifle and throwing her helmet off.

With the charge that Vinyl had led, it only helped Celestia’s team. Vinyl was wrecked over and over again along with the duo, Bon Bon and Lyra. In their frustration and anger, it seemed they thought that the best course of action was to recklessly do the same thing over and over, hoping to somehow get close to the ponies. It was just now that they realized what they had done, and they were only one death away from losing.

Thus, the team was scrambled and broken up, taking up hiding spots and discussing what to do over the comms.

But the mailmare had enough of the raging they were doing, to the point she didn’t even want to listen what Vinyl and the others had to say.

If anything, she was ready for this game to be over. This was not like them, nor like Luna, to play like this.

To put it bluntly, they played like assclowns.

“Getting owned out there huh? Trixie didn’t expect less.”

Derpy looked over to her side to see Trixie, in her blue Master Chief armor sitting against one of the walls, seemingly playing with her pistol.

“No thanks to you,” Derpy retorted, not wanting to hear Trixie’s insults, “You won’t even help when you’re needed.”

Trixie simply waved her hoof at the mare.

“Last time Trixie checked, her help wasn’t needed.”

Derpy face hoofed herself, trying to keep calm and restrain herself from wrangling the unicorn. Nothing was working out for them, and she didn’t see any solution on how she was going to make this comeback happen without Luna’s help.

But frustration took hold and instead of letting Trixie’s jab go, Derpy continued.

“What’s wrong with you Trixie??” she asked firmly.

Trixie looked over to her, meeting her golden eyes.

“There’s nothing wrong with Trixie, Trixie is absolutely-”she said in her usual high and mighty tone, but Derpy quickly shut that shit down.

“Shut up!” Derpy yelled, now standing up, “Every game we play, you always gotta act like you’re the best, or at least claim to be, and give the rest of us a hard time! I’m sick of it! And now when we actually need you to help, to help us possibly win, you want to be stuck up! I don’t bucking get it!”

Trixie’s eyes were wide in surprise, seeing a side of Derpy that she had never seen before.

“Always complaining and whining, putting all of us down, it needs to stop! This is why no pony wants to play with you! This is why we don’t trust you anything!”

Anger billowed over the usual, sweet mailmare, making her say the first things that came to mind, and Trixie could only watch in shocked silence.

“Everything always has to be about you! The Great and Powerful Trixie! The Great and Powerful my rump! You’re a scrub! You’ve always been one! And what’s with this obsession with Twilight huh?! Trying to prove you’re better than her?! Guess what, she is ten times better than you in everything! Everpony is better than yo-”

But Derpy immediately stopped, taking notice of the mare before her.

Tears were flowing down the unicorn’s cheeks, her lower lip trembling hearing Derpy’s words. They were like the sharpest of swords that pierced into Trixie and it wasn’t long before the magician began crying out loud.

Oh no…

Derpy’s heart fell into her stomach, realizing that she had hurt Trixie, to the point of tears. Guilt quickly replaced frustration and anger, and she knew she had done wrong, but there was no taking back of words.

“I’m sorry!” she wailed, wiping her tears as more came down, “Trixie knows she’s been a bad friend!”

Derpy didn’t move, not knowing what to do or fix what she had done and simply stood in silence.

“Trixie knows she’s bad at games! She’s not good like everypony else!” she cried, “I just want everyone to like me! Trixie sees all of you being awesome and Trixie wants to be awesome too!”

Derpy’s heart fell even lower hearing Trixie’s tearful confession.

“T..Trixie,” Derpy uttered, but the magician continued.

“I’m so sorry Derpy! I know I’m not great! I never will be! I just want you guys to like me! I’m a fraud, a loser, a piece of shit!”

The blonde mare couldn’t bear seeing that she had broken down the magician so low and went over to her, kneeling down and gently brought her in for a hug.

“I’m sorry Trixie,” Derpy said sincerely and with remorse, “I didn’t mean any of that, I was just...upset...with how this game is going.”

Trixie gripped onto Derpy, crying into her metal chest.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I don’t want you guys to hate me! You’re the only ones who even talk to me!” Trixie cried.

Derpy had not realized or really given thought to why Trixie acted the way she did, until now. She remembered how Trixie was humiliated by Twilight in Ponyville, and she could only imagine what else happened to her after word got out that she was a phony.

She was probably made fun of, laughed at…

And the mailmare knew that feeling all too well.

“Trixie,” Derpy said.

The magician looked up, her eyes soaked from crying.

“None of us hate you. I don’t hate you. I’m sorry for saying all that, really. And you are a good friend, just it’s hard to deal with you when you are trying to act like you’re better than everypony else. It gets...frustrating.”

Trixie simply looked down.

“I know.”

Derpy took her hoof and lifted Trixe’s face by her chin to look up at her again and smiled.

“But believe me Trixie, you are great and powerful, you just need to be a bit more,” Derpy said, taking a moment to think of the right words to say, “Humble. But no matter how this goes after, I’ll always be your friend, okay?”

Trixie weakly smiled hearing her promise.

“Tr...Trixie would like that,” she said, wiping her tears away and taking comfort in her friends embrace.

“Luna’s down! Celestia has her pinned down! We’re screwed!”

Both mare’s attention quickly diverted to Derpy’s helmet, hearing Vinyl over the comms. Derpy got up and listened closely as Lyra began speaking.

“We can’t get to her! Two of them have mechs and she’s over at their base! If we go out to get her we are done for!”

“We’re done for anyways if we don’t!” Derpy heard Bon Bon say.

Dangit. We are finished.

Derpy sat down and conformed to defeat, looking over to Trixie.

“Well I think that’s it, “Derpy said with a laugh, “This game is over.”

She sighed and closed her eyes, knowing that this wasn’t the best they had, but she was now glad at least that this would be over, and perhaps could try to forget such a crushing defeat.

“It’s not over yet.”

Derpy eyes opened to see Trixie getting up and picking up her assault rifle.

“The game’s not over yet,” the unicorn said, now picking up Derpy’s sniper rifle and handing it to her, “We can still win.”

Derpy’s crossed eyes went straight for a moment, not knowing how Trixie was thinking they could win.

“Um, Trixie, they are one score away from winning and I don’t know if you heard-”

“Trixie heard, and Trixie doesn’t care. The game is not over.”

Derpy slowly grabbed her sniper, but still didn’t see any possible way of winning, despite what Trixie was saying.

“Trixie, we got three guys out there ready to shred us, even if we tried, we wouldn’t get a hoof out the door. That and two of them have mechs, so trying to cross the map would be kind of not a good idea either.”

Trixie looked out to the open entrance. She could hear the enemy players laughing and talking outside as they took random shots at the entrance.

“Could you protect Trixie?” the mare asked.

Derpy was confused on where she was going with this, but decided to at least humor the situation.

She looked at her rifle and looked at the unicorn.

“I have one bullet . I don’t think that will be enough to do anything. Where are you going with this?”

Trixie smiled at her, and went over to grab her helmet and readied her assault rifle.

“Trixie has a plan to save Princess Luna and keep this game going.”

Derpy didn’t believe what she was hearing, and not the fact that it was Trixie saying she had a plan, but that she didn’t see any plan that could work.

The mailmare stood up, confused on what Trixe had planned.

“Okay, even though I was a bit mean earlier, and no offense, but the part about you kinda not being good in games was kinda true.”

Trixie looked over to her, her helmet in hoof and smiled.

“Trixie knows, but Trixie does not plan to fight. I know I’m not good at these type of games Derpy,” she admitted, putting her helmet on her head, “But there is one game I know I’m good at.”

Derpy raised her brow.

“What’s that?”

Trixie smiled behind her dark blue visor.

“Mario Kart.”

Level 11 Part 1

M.O.D.... there may be a problem.

What is it L33t?

I’m picking up several frequencies in Cloudsdale and they all have 911 tags on them. Their origins are all coming from the Cloudsdale Post Office.

Which is exactly where Luna’s at...well then that’s certainly not good.

What do you wish to do?

Hmm...can you trace the 911 tags and see how many are converging on that point?

Give me a moment.

Tracing....91118745....991118747....99178945...99183453....multiple signatures....Count....16 pegasus patrols...tracing complete.

Sixteen?!

She is an alicorn. I’m sure they wish not to take any chances.

I see. Well then it seems I’m going to have to help our dear Luna this time, as much as I don’t want to.

What do you plan to do M.O.D.?

Simple.Re-route every single one of those signals to Canterlot Castle.

Do you wish it to be sent to Princess Celestia’s cellular device?

No.

Then who?

Twilight Sparkle.

Doing it now.

Good. Now put the stream back on...

M0re Than Gam3rs

Level 11

Part 1

To Defend A Princess

Back at Canterlot Castle...

“Now you’re going to get it!”

Princess Celestia looked into her students eyes as she stood over her in her bed. They were fierce and almost fear inducing. Her student had the potential looks for a dominant mare.

“W..what are you going to do to me?” Celestia stuttered.

Twilight Sparkle pressed her muzzle against her teacher’s.

“I’m going to put you in your place! I’m going to be the teacher and you’re going to be the student now you..you..female dog!”

Oh Twilight....

“You mean ‘bitch’ Twilight...” Celestia stated, abandoning her frightened state of roleplay.

“Oh..sorry,” Twilight apologized with a sheepish smile, “Should I try again?”

Celestia shook her head and laughed a bit. It was cute that her student was so naive to the arts of dirty talk and just foreplay all together. It had a certain charm to it compared to the rest of the mares and stallions she had dominated in her long life. Maybe it was such innocence that had this Ruler of the Sun head over hoof for Twilight...just now she was wondering how long this innocence and naiveness would blind the mare from the obvious fact that she wanted her...bad.

“It’s ok Twilight. We can try again later. The tip to talking dirty is you gotta curse sometimes. Makes it a bit more intense.”

Twilight nodded her head, obedient as ever, and hopped off Celestia’s bed. As expected, the studious mare summoned a notepad and quill and quickly jotted down her mentor’s tip.

“Use more curse words...more intense...got it!” she chimed, taking pride in this small note of hers.

Celestia rose up from her bed with grace and all regality.

“Well, I guess we better start your next lesson,” Celestia said with a smile.

“Of course! What’s our next lesson?” Twilight said with eagerness in her eyes.

“You’re going to learn about certain toys and their purposes for female anatomy,” Celestia announced.

“Yay! I can’t wait!” Twilight cheered, giving a little hop in the air as indication of her misplaced enthusiasm.

Celestia chuckled as she thought to herself.

Me either...

If it wasn’t for Twilight’s hunger for knowledge...and knowledge for everything...there was no way Celestia would be able to pull the sexy antics she did with her student. The sexy pictures she would take and even times where she would have the lavender mare rub a popsicle on her flank when she was hot would never have been possible without it. Usually these were just Celestia’s way of trying to tell her student ‘Hey! I like you and we need to buck each other into coma’s’ but Twilight didn’t have the most common sense when it came to that kind of stuff.

It was okay though. Celestia loved it regardless.

The regal went over to her closet full of sinful play things and opened it to reveal her collection. The only ones that she put away from her student’s eyes was ‘Spike’s Pride’ and her personal favorite, ‘The Big Mac.’ She didn’t want Twilight asking any questions of why she gave such names...and why they looked like the real things.

“Princess, what kinds of toys are those? They look just like the reproductive instrument that stallions use for when they engage in sexual intercourse with a mare,” Twilight stated bluntly, making it obvious that she never seen dildo’s before.

Oh boy...she really needs work. Good thing I’m ready to teach her.

Celestia smiled slyly inside of the thought of ravaging her student mercilessly.

“These my dear Twilight, are called dildo’s and this is what mare’s use to help...satisfy certain needs.”
Twilight jotted down a note in her small pad but looked up at her mentor with a bit of confusion.

“Needs? Do you mean basic needs to sustain life such as water and food?”

For Celestia, this was a basic need. She could go without water and food for weeks, even years, as long as she got some daily. Sex to her was something that she absolutely needed to live. She couldn’t even imagine an eternal life without it.

“Not necessarily Twilight but it can become one,” Celestia said with a gentle smile.

“ I don’t think I’m following here,” Twilight said as she plopped her rump on the floor, “What is this need that you’re pertaining to Princess?”

This wasn’t a surprise to the white regal. For as long as she knew Twilight, she had been a mare of utmost standing and proper poise. She was what some would call a ‘goody’ but Celestia had a theory about that. There was no such thing as a perfectly innocent pony. Every pony had a dark side to them, a side that wants to let loose and give in to carnal desires and she was the instrument to bring it out of them...and the fact that she just wanted to buck like crazy but at least she had some type of justification...right?

The only two that she had not seen such a side to yet were her beloved student and her sister, Luna.

Luna...hmmm...I haven’t seen her butt all day...unfortunately...wonder where she’s at.

It was a good question. Where had her sister gone off too? Of course she heard about her cancelling her court earlier today for whatever reason but to where, she didn’t know. She was too busy with some of Luna’s guards and measuring if her guard’s rods were bigger than Luna’s guards that it had not even crossed her mind till now.

Oh well. Probably playing some game or something.

“Twilight, you know what sex is right?”

Twilight nodded her head, unphased by this type of conversation. It was a learning opportunity for her. What reason is there to be embarrassed when trying to learn new information?

“Well what do you think mare’s do when they have no stallion to screw?”

Twilight tapped her chin with her hoof and lit up immediately with the answer.

“They read about it!” The lavender mare said proudly, confident that she had gotten the answer.

Celestia face-hoofed herself inside. Twilight was much more naive than she thought.

“No Twilight. They clop. That’s how mares please themselves when they're by themsleves and have no other to please them,” celestia informed with no shame.

She pulled out one of her sacred toys and showed it to Twilight. It was clear with a red tinge and had ridges around it.

“So that’s a dildo? What’s it purpose?” Twilight asked as she readied her notepad.

Celestia chuckled. Now was the time to make her move and finally show her student how much she wanted her...how much she need that equine body of hers.

“Maybe if it’s better if I show you,” Celestia said with a sly grin.

“Field research? Yes!” Twilight cheered,” Just tell me what to do Princess.”

Yes! By my own mane, finally I’m going to have her!

That’s all she needed. If she could just show Twilight the joys of releasing one’s dirty side, no doubt the mare will see how much she wants her.

But before she could instruct her student, they both heard a phone.

[Tone]

Twilight looked over to her bag that sat in the corner of Celestia’s chambers and looked back at Celestia with a sheepish grin.

“Sorry...guess I left my phone on. Would it be okay-?”

“Of course Twilight,” Celestia answered. She could a wait a few more moments. There was nothing in this world now that could stop Celestia now from finally having this mare.

Twilight got up and went over to her bag while Celestia watched her..or more like her bottom. She couldn’t believe how amazing her student’s plot was. Subconsciously she began to lick her lips as ravenous lust began to fill her watching Twilight’s hips swish back and forth as she walked the short distance.

Alas, she had to be patient. Just a few more moments and soon she would be using one of her toys on Twilight and be able to finally tell her how she longed for her.

Twilight opened her bag, unaware that her trusted mentor was staring right at her bottom and imagining the things she would do to it. She pulled out her phone and clicked it on to see why it had went off.

TEXT: 00000

“What the?” Twilight said to herself as she opened the text message.

TEXT FROM: 0000

Incident reported at Cloudsdale Post Office. Send patrols. Apprehend Princess Luna.

Twilight’s eyes went wide and noticed the last part of this small message.

Help Princess Luna Twilight. She’s going to need you and your mentor. Hurry.

The mare wondered for a moment who had sent this text but the other part of her mind made her disregard that detail and quickly bring it to her mentor’s attention.

“Princess!” she exclaimed as she quickly turned holding her phone to show her

Celestia quickly snapped out of her lustful stupor and regained her bearing and senses again.

“What is it Twilight?” Celestia answered, hoping it wasn’t anything that could prevent her from her inevitable moment.

Twilight held her phone with her magic and showed Celestia.

“Who sent this?” Celestia asked.

“I don’t know but it sounds urgent. Whoever it was, they must know that Luna’s in trouble in Cloudsdale.”

Celestia sighed under her breath.

Damnit Luna...just when I might get the chance to rut Twilight, you have to go off and get in trouble somewhere...ugh.

As much as she didn’t want to, she had to go see what Luna had done. It was her duty as a ruler and more importantly, as her sister. As much as Luna may not believe it, Celestia loved her little sister dearly. Was a sisterly love or a lustful one? That was still a mystery but love was somewhere involved.. It seemed her sexy plan for her student would have to wait...for now.

The alicorn lifted her face and gave a gentle smile to her student.

“Well I guess we better head on over there and see what my little sister gotten into this time.”

Twilight nodded.

“Okay. Should I get my friends to come with-”

“That won’t be needed this time Twilight. I think we can handle this,” Celestia assured.

“Alright.”

Celestia’s horn began to light up as she readied her magic to teleport them to the Cloudsdale Post Office. Twilight readied herself, noticing that her mentor was preparing a teleportation spell for both of them.

“So what did you think she did?” Twilight asked before they disappeared.

“I don’t know but we’re going to find out...”

With that, her horn flashed a bright yellow and they both disappeared with one last thought on Celestia’s mind.

And I’m going to have to smoke some serious hay to make up for her screwing my chance...

****

Back in Cloudsdale...

Derpy Hooves stood outside the post office, wondering what Luna was going to do to her former boss. She knew one thing though: it wasn’t going to be good and she was now very worried that she may have just caused her princess to lose it.

I don’t want her to get in trouble...

She had already brought this up to Luna before they went in the office but the fact was that Derpy cared. Luna was a princess, an authority figure that represented Equestria in its entirety and if she did something bad, which she still had no idea what that ‘bad’ would be, it would surely come back to bite her in the ass and force her sister’s hoof to do something about it...

Banishment.

Derpy’s heart dropped all the way to her stomach as that one terrible thought permeated her mind. Celestia would have to banish Luna again if ponies demanded it and what would she do?

She would lose her best friend forever and it would be because of her.

The grey’s mare eyes looked down to the cloud ground as she tried to think what she should do.

She is a princess..what could happen to her? Celestia already banished her once but that was because she was Nightmare Moon.

It was a good point within her psyche. Celestia only banished Luna because she was not Luna anymore but Nightmare Moon and she couldn’t see Celestia banishing her for a second time. The white regal was her sister and Derpy could only imagine how hard it would be to do that a second time.

But the way she looked at me and her voice....

She recalled Luna’s voice and how it had slowly began to change to her dark, deep one and how it sent a cold chill through her body. In those few seconds that Luna had told her to leave, Derpy knew that the dark alicorn was going to do something terrible to Speedy.

Maybe I should stop her...forget all this and just go back home.

The pegasus looked back at the office, wondering what Luna could possibly have in mind. She promised her that she would get her job back but now Derpy didn’t care about that. In fact, she was now regretting ever telling Luna.

But she told me to stay out here. Oh hay! What do I do?!

She bit her bottom lip. Her mind was going everywhere, trying to weigh out every single possible outcome and solution. Should she act and stop Luna or stay here and let her friend do what she wants?

Her crossed eyes became even more skewed than before as she scrunched her face and tried desperately to figure out the answer but her thinking came to a halt as she suddenly saw two doors flung open from the post office.

“Run! Run for your lives! She’s returned!” a light yellow pegasus yelled as she tripped over her own hooves from her frantic running but she was soon followed by many more, customers and employees alike.

“What the-?!” Derpy exclaimed as she watched several ponies fly away while others ran past her screaming their little heads off.

“She’s gone nuts!”

“I knew I should have stayed home!”

“Sompony call the police!”

“What’s going on?!” Derpy cried as ponies flew past her but none stopped to fill the in the confused mare. They were all too worried for their own safety to even take a few seconds to let her know what was transpiring.

“I have to get out of here!” a faintly familiar voice yelled.

Derpy turned her head and saw a white mare stumbling out and noticed that it was the clerk that was giving Luna a hard time before about letting her see Speedy.

“Hey! You!” Derpy called out to her and began running to the mare so she wouldn’t fly off too without finding out what exactly was going on.

The clerk took notice of Derpy as the grey mare ran up to her and was standing over her in a matter of a few moments.

“Y..You! You’re her friend!”

Derpy disregarded the obvious observation.

“What’s going on in there?!” Derpy asked.

“It’s Princess Luna! She’s gone bucking insane!” the clerk blurted, waving her hooves frantically in the air, “She just ran in and went after Speedy!”

Oh no! Luna! Did she...

She didn’t want to say the word in her mind but her worried brain said it anyway.

...kill him??

It was a very dark thought and Derpy couldn’t fathom her best friend going that far. Don’t get her wrong, whatever happened to Speedy didn’t matter to the mare but no pony deserved death...not even that bastard. Had Luna’s anger taken hold of her to the point of taking his life? Was this far-fetched of Derpy to think of such a possibility?

Derpy pressed her muzzle against the clerks, now desperate to get more details.

“What did she do?!” Derpy demanded. She needed to know what Luna had done and she only hoped that it wasn’t what she was thinking.

“I don’t know! She did some magic and no pony could see her or Mr. Delivery but then we heard her yelling and him begging her to stop and he was screaming for help!”

None of this made any sense to Derpy.

“What are you talking about lady?! What magic?!”

The clerk replied hastily, wanting to just get away from her workplace and into her safe cloud home somewhere but Derpy was too much in her face for her to just take off and Derpy had no intention of letting her fly off without knowing what had happened.

“She made a black cloud around the both of them and we couldn’t see them except that!” the clerk replied as more ponies ran out past them, “Then we heard Speedy scream Nightmare Moon and that’s when everypony started running! We even heard Nightmare Moon! I ran away and called the pegasus patrols and their on their way now to stop her!”

Derpy backed away. Her eyes went straight and her body turned to ice.

Nightmare Moon?!

Was it true? Had Princess Luna reverted back to Nightmare Moon? And if it was, then it was already too late. No doubt the police would come and try and stop her and it would most definitely get back to Canterlot and Celestia.

“Can I leave now?” the clerk asked but Derpy paid no mind. She was now lost in her own though.

Ohcrapohcrapohcrap! If the police get here, they will tell Celestia and she will...

Derpy swallowed hard and felt hot tears filling her eyes

...banish her.

She couldn’t let that happen.

No matter what, she couldn’t let Luna be banished again, especially because of her but for another reason that she dared not ever reveal. Derpy sucked up her tears that threatened to spill from her eyes and put her determined face on that consisted of crossed eyes and a scrunched muzzle.

I’m not letting anypony take her from me...not even Celestia.

Now did she really have a chance against such a powerful being? More than likely no, but Derpy would not lose her best friend....even if it meant that she would be banished alongside with her.

With resolve and an undeterred determination, Derpy darted in the post office to find her friend and save her from the inevitable consequences that was sure to follow, leaving the clerk.

These thoughts of banishment might have been calmed though if she would have just stayed put a few seconds longer. She might’ve seen the bright yellow flash that appeared behind her.

****

Immediately after the ending of Level 10....

Speedy opened his eyes, hanging upside down.

He heard the snip of the scissors and was sure that his sack was as good as gone but yet he didn’t feel anything. He was expecting excruciating pain beyond imagination. He looked up to his private parts and to his surprise, his junk was still attached and whole.

“I..I..I still have them,” he stuttered.

He looked over to what he expected to be Nightmare Moon but instead noticed that Princess Luna was back to her normal form.

“You’re damn right you have them you bastard,” Luna sneered and threw him to the floor. He landed on the dark floor with a hard thud but the stallion quickly got up.

Good job Luna...things would have gotten bad if you-

Shut up.

Luna was disgusted with herself. What had happened to her rage and unbridled fury and hate she had for this stallion that beat on her mare? Her inner voice tried to speak reason to her during her rampage and she didn’t listen to it, so what happened to all of sudden stop her from slicing Speedy’s nuts off?

Just before Luna took the scissors to sever Speedy’s prized jewels, there was a voice that spoke in her head. Not the same, annoying voice that sounded like her in her head, but a voice that immediately made her stop and had somehow wiped away her dark visage and power.

Luna! Stop! it said....Derpy said. If it wasn’t for hearing her friend’s imaginary voice in her head, she would have surely cut Speedy’s nuts right off and more...and much worse. It stayed her hoof and she was hating it.

“W..why?” Speedy simply asked as his legs trembled.

“Why what?!” Luna retorted, making the stallion jump a bit.

She knew what he meant but the anger at herself for not going through with her plan was overwhelming her. He deserved to be hurt, to be put through pain that only she could bring upon him, he deserved to suffer for hitting Derpy..her friend...her BEST friend.

But was this what Derpy would want? She came here to get her job, not go completely crazy and almost cut some pony’s balls off.

“You d..didn’t....you k..know...”

Luna looked over to him and narrowed her eyes at him.

“Don’t think for a minute I didn't do it because I chickened out or I’m afraid of you. If anything, I didn’t do it because you were crying like a pathetic bitch!”

Speedy cringed and Luna smiled inside seeing him in such a frightened state. He wasn't the stallion that was spewing at the mouth, calling some pony whatever he wanted anymore. He looked weak, small, feeble and at least Luna could take comfort that she had scared the living shit out of him to the point of reducing him to such a position, but she still needed to do something; she still needed to punish him. If she didn't, what would guarantee that this pony would never lay his hooves on Derpy or any other mare?

“Now Speedy, be thankful that I decided at the last minute to spare your poor excuse for balls,” she lied, “but don’t think that means I’m just letting you walk free...not by any means.”

She started walking towards him and Speedy simply stood still with trembling legs. He knew now the terrible power that she held and he didn’t want to risk inducing her rage again..he might not be so lucky if she lost it again.

“P..please P..Princess Luna...I know what...what I did to Derpy w..was wrong...I..I p..promise I’ll never-”

“Save it Speedy. We been through that once and you almost lost your nuts because of it.”

She now stood before him and he cowered.

“I’ll do anything you want me to L..Luna-”

“Princess,” Luna demanded.

“Princess Luna,” he said hastily, correcting himself.

Luna lowered her muzzle to his and smiled.

“I know you will. First off, you’re going to give Derpy her job back but I don’t want you to give her what she had before. I don’t like the fact that she has to go out in snow and rain to deliver packages to ponies that probably don’t appreciate her sacrifice...I know you don’t.”

Speedy swallowed hard and Luna could see beads of sweat coming down his forehead.

“T...then what would y..you have me do princess?” he stuttered, being very careful that he was the most polite stallion in Equestria right now.

Luna lowered her eyelids and smiled a bit wider.

“You’re going to give her your job my dear Speedy.”

Speedy’s face went completely pale and his pupils dilated, almost as if losing his own balls was a much more lenient punishment than this.

“But what will I do for a living?! This is horseshi-” but he couldn't finish his sentence as he felt a tug of magic pull at his tongue.

“Shut your bucking mouth!” Luna yelled and let his tongue go.

“Yes Princess!” Speedy cried and cowered more beneath her.

“Next time you decide to talk back to me, you’re nuts and dick are gone...I promise you. Now, for my second demand...”

I shouldn’t be even giving him demands. I should have his damn nuts in a jar and throwing his ass around into a bloody pulp.

And as much as she thoughts ran through her mind, Derpy’s voice still echoed , telling her to stop. It was something about her voice that kept her in check from doing such terrible things to this stallion, though he deserved every bit of what she wanted to do to him.

“You will give your job to Derpy and then you will leave Equestria...tonight.”

More sweat came down Speedy’s brow and he spoke again.

“But I have a wife?! Where am I supposed to go?? This is basically banishment!”

Luna chuckled darkly and looked deep into his brown, disgusting, eyes.

“Not my problem. It wasn't your problem when you decided to lay your hooves on Derpy and fire her. Why should I worry about you? You will leave Equestria tonight and don’t worry...I will know. The night is my domain after all.”

Luna could see that she was breaking this stallion’s soul. If she couldn’t bring herself to break this stallion physically, she was going to destroy him mentally and emotionally.

“And if I don’t?” he said weakly, trying to hold his tears and save whatever little dignity he had left...if there was even any left at this point.

Luna brought her mouth close to his twitching ear and whispered into it.

“Then I will make sure that your life is a living hell and do things to you that you didn’t think were possible. Your dreams will be nightmare’s and every waking moment you will fear for your very safety. I’ve played a lot of gory video games Mr. Speedy and it would be interesting to apply some of their concepts to a real pony...”

“I..I..I understand,” he said as he finally let his tears fall to the dark ground.

“Good,” Luna replied with satisfaction and brought her face away from his, “And know this Speedy. If you ever come back or if I even hear that you beat on another mare, no matter who it is, I will find you and I can guarantee you that no pony will ever find you again...that’s my promise to you.”

And she meant it. Never in her long, immortal life had she meant anything more than what she was saying right now. Her hate for this stallion was unfathomable and he was just so damn lucky that Derpy's voice in her noggin could somehow break her out of burning rage.

Speedy simply nodded but Luna could see that inside he was torn. She had broke this stallion’s very spirit. Everything he had, everything that made him think he was above others, specifically mares it seems, was now taken from him.

There you go Derpy...you won’t have to deal with this asshole ever again.

“Now,” Luna began, “I’m going to lift my magic and as soon as I do, I suggest you leave immediately and quickly and not buck around. Pack your shit and get the hell out of Equestria by midnight tonight or I’ll make good on my promise.”

“Yes P..Princess L..Luna,” Speedy blubbered through his tears.

Luna smirked at him.

“I can’t tell you how good it will feel once you bucking leave my country...I don’t rule over shitty ponies like you, especially one’s who want to hurt my friend. By the end of this day, I will no longer be your princess and I will be pretty damn happy about it. I know Derpy will do a much better job than you ever did and treat her employees with much more respect...bastard.”

Speedy couldn’t even look into her eyes anymore as he turned away and cried silently. She had broken him to the lowest denominator and she loved it.

Without anymore hesitation, Luna’s horn lit up and her eyes flashed a bright white. The black smoke that she had created in her fury began to swirl around and it looked like her horn was sucking up the black smoke like some type of vacuum. Within a few moments the black smoke was completely gone and both her and Speedy were now visible to the outside world.

Princess Luna turned around and studied her environment that she had left in a wreck. She saw a pile of dust that she had zapped earlier and disintegrated and saw the door that she had charged through lodged into the cloud wall.

Wow...I did this?

She was just now really seeing what she had done in her rage? Was she really this dangerous when she lost it? Was she really that...powerful..and why was it triggered when she saw Derpy’s bruises. It would be questions she would have to answer though as she now took notice of the small crowd that had formed.

Pegasi stood at the broken door way with huge eyes and stared at Luna and Speedy who quickly got up from his previous cowering and darted past Luna and into the small crowd that could only imagine what she had done to him while under her veil of black smoke.

“Move! I need to get out of here! Move damnit!” she heard Speedy yell as he pushed through the crowd and ponies watched him.

Bucking bastard....

“Luna! Luna!”

“Derpy?!” Luna said, hearing her friend’s small voice.

“Excuse me! Move please! Sorry!”

Luna saw the grey mare pushing past ponies, trying to make her way to her princess. A cold chill suddenly ran up Luna’s spine and began to worry.

Why is she back in here?? I told her to go outside...oh crap! Did she see me? Was she in the crowd this whole time and saw me going nuts?

The small pony pushed her way through more until she finally broke free from the gathering.

“Oh my gosh! Luna! You're still...still you!” Derpy exclaimed as ran up and hugged the regal tight, making Luna even stagger a bit back.

The princess hugged her back but wondered what her friend was talking about.

“Uh yes...I am. What would make you think otherwise?” Luna asked coyly, hoping that Derpy wasn’t aware of her transformation into Nightmare Moon.

Derpy broke her embrace and looked up at Luna. The princess couldn’t now help but smile as she looked down into those crossed golden eyes of Derpy’s. They were a welcomed sight.

“I waited outside like you told me to but I was worried about you. You seemed so mad and I thought you were going to do something really bad to Speedy and get in real big trouble, but then I saw ponies running out of the office screaming and yelling and stuff! And you know that clerk from earlier?” Derpy asked

Luna nodded her head, a bit lost as to where this was going concerning the clerk.

“She said that her and other ponies heard Nightmare Moon...I thought you turned back into Nightmare Moon so i ran back here to stop you but you’re not Nightmare Moon!I was so scared that I was going to lose you” Derpy said with a relieved smile.

She was worried about me...

Luna grimaced inside. She had came here to get Derpy’s job back and though she did, she didn’t want to have the grey mare worry about her in the process.

But Luna also felt a warm feeling in her chest. As bad as it sounded in her head that she made Derpy fear for her, it also felt...good. The fact that her friend cared so much...it made her heart beam.

“I’m sorry Derpy,” Luna apologized, “I didn’t mean to worry you...I just got a bit angry that somepony was...you know.”

Understatement of the century...

Derpy looked around and looked back at Luna.

“Where’s Speedy? What did you do to him?”

Princess Luna got ready to answer her question but suddenly realized that there was still a crowd that was listening to the both of them, wondering just as much as Derpy what she had done to make the stallion scream and beg that had sent ponies running.

“Maybe we should leave first my friend,” she said with a small smile, glad that she had at least some good news for her friend...just she didn’t want to reveal it here in front of this crowd.

Derpy looked to the crowd behind her and chuckled.

“Heh, yeah. Good idea. Let’s get back to my place and you can tell me there.”

Luna nodded. Even though she felt like she had let Speedy off easy, she was starting to see that maybe it was probably for the best. Yes, cutting off his balls and beating him into a bloody mess still felt appropriate to her but would the consequences have been worth it? Maybe, maybe not, but she wouldn't find out.

Right now, she just wanted to get back to Ponyville and tell her friend how she will never have to deal with Speedy ever again.

The two began walking toward the crowd to go through the entrance but then a commanding voice was heard.

“Princess Luna!”

The entire crowd immediately turned and saw several pegasi in blue uniforms and had patches on their sleeves of a shield with the picture of Cloudsdale imprinted on them that had the initials CPGP. The crowd knew immediately who these ponies were and made a path for the several pegasi.

Who the hay are these guys?

“The pegasus patrol,” Derpy whispered.

Luna heard the fright in her friend’s voice and turned to her.

“What’s wrong?”

Derpy looked over to Luna with fear in her eyes.

“You know how I told you about the clerk? Well, she said she also called the pegasus patrol.”

Luna looked over to the pegasi that were now forming a line in front of her. She went through each one and counted about sixteen of them.

“And that means what?” Luna whispered back.

“Their like police Luna...”Derpy said nervously.

“Princess Luna,” the same voice said.

Luna looked towards the stallion that took a step forward from the line that the uniformed ponies had made. He had a dark blue coat and a blue and white spiky mane.

“Yes?” she answered, still confused as to what was going on. If these were like the police of Cloudsdale, then why were they here?

“I am Captain Swiftwind of the Cloudsdale Pegasus Patrol,” he announced.

Luna raised her brow.

“Okay?” she answered not knowing what to really say.

Swiftwind continued, unphased by her confusion.

“We received several calls that you have been causing some trouble here at the post office and by the looks of it...,” the captain looked around, taking in the damage she had created, “It seems that the reports were right. May I ask why your highness?”

Luna didn’t like where this was going but before she could answer, Derpy stood in front of her and spoke for her.

“She didn’t do anything wrong. She had an issue with Speedy Delivery because I told her that he was hitting me.”

The captain stared at the grey mare for a moment and then back to Luna, still with his very calm demeanor.

“Where is Mr. Delivery now? I don’t see him here.”

Derpy couldn’t answer that and turned to Luna.

“I banished him for beating on her and If you're wondering if I hurt him or not, he is perfectly fine,” Luna said coldly.

Derpy’s mouth dropped to the cloud floor and her eyes went straight once again and Captain Swiftwind raised his brow.

“To my understanding, ponies were reporting that they were hearing him scream for help and even heard Nightmare Moon speak. Care to explain that Princess Luna?”

Damn it...

This was not something she wanted to go into detail about. Not in front of a crowd and in front of her friend. She just wanted to leave and be with Derpy and just leave this day behind and the memory of the rage that had consumed her earlier.

“I have no need to explain that to you Mr. Swiftwind,” Princess Luna replied, losing her patience, “Now move and let me and my friend pass and go on with our day please.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that right now your highness. You see, based on what I was told and from what I’m seeing, I see you as a threat to the safety others. I can’t tell you how many calls I gotten about hearing Nightmare Moon and you basically holding Speedy hostage. With that being said princess, I must ask you that you come with us to holding until we get this all sorted out.”

“What?!” Derpy blurted, “You’re taking her to jail?!!”

“To put it simply, yes. For now at least.”

“And what gives you that authority?!” Luna demanded, baffled that they were actually planning to arrest her.

“With all due respect princess, just because you hold a royal title does not mean your above law. You have came and destroyed property, disturbed the peace, held a pony hostage, and the very talk about Nightmare Moon returning does not bode well for safety at all. By my duty, I am placing you under arrest Princess Luna.”

The crowd behind them gasped and even Luna herself was shocked. She was going to jail? The alicorn had seen documentaries and movies about prison but never been to one herself. How long would she be there? What would happen in there? Would some ponies try to gang up on her and rape her with a broomstick??

“Please come with us Princess Luna,” the captain insisted.

“No! No! She’s not going!” Derpy exclaimed and put herself completely in front of Luna, sending the alicorn into more shock.

“Derpy! What are you doing?!” the alicorn said.

“I’m not letting them take you to jail! You didn’t do anything wrong! If anything, they should be getting that bastard Speedy and locking him up!”

“Miss, I advise you to step aside so that we may apprehend Princess Luna or you will be arrested along with-”

“I don’t care!”Derpy yelled back and lowered herself in some type of fighting position, “You’re going to have to arrest me too but I’m not going without a fight! She defended me and you’re going to punish her for that?! No way!”

Derpy...why??

“Derpy, don’t do this. Just let them arrest me...don’t go down with me,” Luna pleaded behind her.

Derpy turned to her and Luna saw tears forming in her eyes.

“I’m not letting them take you Luna. You defended me and got rid of Speedy. I’m going to defend you now.”

Luna didn’t know what to say. She saw that these words held truth to them and Derpy had no intention of leaving her. She was willing to go down with her, even when she had nothing to do with all this.

“Derpy...” but Luna couldn’t finish her sentence. All she could do was say her name...that wonderful name.

The grey mare smiled a bit and then turned to Swiftwind.

“You’re going to have to get through me if you want her,” Derpy declared.

Captain Swiftwind sniffed, his blank face unchanging.

“Very well then. You are also under arrest for impeding an arrest attempt.”

The pegasus looked over to the stallions that stood in a line behind him.

“Arrest them,” he ordered.

“Yes sir!” they all said in unison and began to break their line and move in on the duo.

Derpy gritted her teeth and stood her ground while Luna couldn’t believe what was happening. This was not what she wanted.

But should she have expected any different?
