“Can you two be okay alone this afternoon?” asked Spike, looking at Twilight and Nightmare Moon with a worried look, to his right was his marefriend: Rarity.
“Of course, Spike. After all, today is Hearts and Hooves Day, and you had agreed to spend this afternoon together with Rarity. Plus, me and Nightmare Moon also plan to spend this afternoon together,” Twilight replied. Spike felt more reassured knowing the two would be fine, while Rarity let out a squeal of delight upon hearing that the two were going to spend an afternoon together during Hearts and Hooves.
“This is so romantic! What do you two intend to do?” asked Rarity.
“We’ll stay cuddled in bed until the afternoon is over,” Twilight replied.
“Yes, and it will be unforgettable because the cuddles... will last... forever!” Nightmare Moon declared before letting out an evil laugh. Twilight put a hoof to her mouth, holding back laughter at the declaration. Nightmare Moon could be really cute sometimes.
“That sounds pretty cute, dears. I hope you two have a good Hearts and Hooves together.” Rarity didn’t notice, but Nightmare Moon looked offended at calling her cuddles cute. The white mare looked at Spike, wanting confirmation that they could go. “Are we going, Spikey-Wikey?”
Spike’s cheeks turned pink and a shy smile crossed his face. “O-of course, Rarity.”
The two turned and left together, Twilight said goodbye to them both with a hoof before turning around and entering the library along with Nightmare Moon, closing the door with pink magic. The two mares started up the steps to the bedroom, with Twilight leading the way. Nightmare Moon needed to confess that she never celebrated this holiday, as she spent most of her years banished on the moon, only planning to bring eternal night to Equestria. But now, she didn’t plan on doing any of that anymore, as she had been reformed by Twilight, and she was going to take the opportunity today to demonstrate how much she loved the unicorn.
When they reached the top floor of the library, they approached the wooden bed and lay down. They enveloped themselves in a loving embrace and closed their eyes. They both let out a light breath, relaxing into the embrace they were involved in. Nightmare Moon began lovingly stroking Twilight’s mane with a hoof. Twilight blushed pink with the affection received, just enjoying the cute moment.
Five minutes later, Nightmare Moon stopped with the affection. Twilight opened her eyes and decided to stroke Nightmare Moon’s black fur to see what it felt like to stroke her fur. She couldn’t help but agree that Nightmare Moon’s fur was very soft. Nightmare Moon opened her eyes in surprise as she felt her black fur being stroked, she looked at Twilight and noticed her stroking the fur on her chest.
“So soft…” said Twilight in a comforting tone, stroking the chest fur with her head. A smile soon crossed the alicorn’s face and she just watched the unicorn stroke her fur.
After three minutes, Twilight stopped stroking Nightmare Moon’s black fur and relaxed back into the embrace. Nightmare Moon decided to take advantage of this moment when Twilight was relaxing to watch her with a smile. She couldn’t help but agree that Twilight was cute and precious being wrapped in her hooves. Nightmare Moon gave the purple unicorn a loving kiss on the forehead, demonstrating how much she loved and cared for her, which resulted in Twilight blushing again and even letting out a small laugh. Nightmare Moon couldn’t help but smile at that, her laugh was very adorable.
Nightmare Moon decided to close her eyes to enjoy better this moment they were in bed together. But even though they had their eyes closed they weren’t sleeping, but they were lost in their thoughts.
Memories after her defeat began to surface in the mind of the Goddess of Darkness, especially when she was hit by the rainbow. She let out a sigh of happiness, knowing that thanks to Twilight, she now had her own body and would no longer need to possess Luna’s body.
Twilight began to reflect on everything that had happened since her arrival in Ponyville: from her checking in the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration until her redeeming Nightmare Moon. She would never have imagined that the Elements of Harmony would have separated Nightmare Moon from Princess Luna, but despite that, she felt happy that it had happened, because if it hadn’t for it, therefore, she and Nightmare Moon would not be together now.
Letting out a slight sigh, Twilight opened her eyes and watched the black mare. She was very cute with her eyes closed and smiling. She then began to lovingly caress Nightmare Moon’s cheek. Nightmare Moon opened her dragon-slit turquoise eyes and noticed Twilight caress her cheek with a smile, which made her smile at the affection received.
“I love you, Moony. There’s not another pony I’d like to pass this Hearts and Hooves,” said Twilight.
“Me too, my dear,” said Nightmare Moon, stroking back Twilight’s cheek.
“Do you think Spike and Rarity are doing the same as we are?” asked Twilight after they stopped stroking each other on the cheek, wondering what Spike and Rarity were doing together to celebrate the holiday.
“I don’t know, Twilight. It’s a probability, but one thing I know: their cuddles will never surpass mine!” Nightmare Moon ended up smiling evilly. Twilight chuckled at that, the black alicorn could be somepony quite adorable when it came to cuddles, and that was something she would never change her mind, even if Nightmare Moon denied it.
Nightmare Moon soon had an idea of what she could do next to demonstrate her love for the purple unicorn: she started to nuzzle Twilight’s neck. Her muzzle was very close to the mane, being able to smell Twilight’s scent, it smelled like lavender.
“Hmm, you smell nice, my dear,” said Nightmare Moon, smiling with relish.
“Th-thank you, Moony,” Twilight thanked in a shy tone, her cheeks turning pink at the praise she received. Nightmare Moon looked at Twilight and noticed her pink cheeks again, she couldn’t help but smile at that. It was pretty easy to make Twilight blush. After that, she closed her eyes and continued with the nuzzles.
A few seconds later, Nightmare Moon stopped with the affection and closed her eyes again, Twilight did the same. She and Twilight decided to be in silent, just enjoying this quiet moment between them.
Four hours passed, Twilight opened her eyes upon hearing her stomach growl. She looked to the balcony to see if it had gotten dark and saw the moon and stars already in the sky. Twilight then looked back at Nightmare Moon and nudged her lightly with a hoof.
“Moony,” Twilight began.
Nightmare Moon slowly opened her slit turquoise dragon eyes and looked at Twilight with a smile. “Yes, my dear?”
“It’s already dark. I believe it’s time we got up,” Twilight replied.
Nightmare Moon didn’t seem happy that the afternoon was over, as she wanted to keep hugging Twilight in bed, even though the afternoon was over. “Can’t we continue cuddling in bed?”
“I would love Moony, but it turns out I’m hungry and would like to go into the kitchen to make me a daisy sandwich,” Twilight replied. Nightmare Moon closed her eyes and let out a defeated sigh.
“All right.” They broke out of the embrace, got out of bed, and began to descend together to the second floor.
“So, Moony? What did you think of our first Hearts and Hooves together?” asked Twilight, looking at the black alicorn.
“I liked it, mainly because I was able to demonstrate how much I love you.” Nightmare Moon gave her a loving kiss on the cheek when they reached the second floor. “And you, my dear Twilight? What did you think of our first Hearts and Hooves together?”
“I enjoyed it too, it was a pretty sweet afternoon,” Twilight replied, looking shyly to the left. She approached a cupboard and grabbed bread, daisies, grass, and a plate, she approached the table and started making her sandwich.
As she watched Twilight prepare her sandwich, Nightmare Moon began to reflect on the Hearts and Hooves afternoon they had together. Although this was the first Hearts and Hooves she had celebrated along with Twilight, she hoped the next ones would be the same as what they had today, so she could demonstrate again during this holiday how much she loved the purple unicorn while she had her involved on her hooves.
