The Royal Friend.

Oh come on!

(Meanwhile in Luna’s royal chambers)

“LUNA PLEASE CALM DOWN! I HAVEN’T RECOVERED FROM YOUR PREVIOUS BEATING!!” Marcon yelled before he was slammed into a wall. “Why are you so mean to me?!”

Luna stopped and put the human down before tapping a hoof against her chin. “Well..... Thou shot our hindquarters with a ball of paint and then we were not allowed to finish giving out our wrath..... That is mostly why.” Luna said sitting on her haunches.

“Ow....” Marcon rubbed the back of his head and sighed. “Look I told you that the thing was unstable and you still wanted me to shoot it!”

Luna just blushed slightly and humphed while crossing her forelegs.. “We still think thou did it on purpose.”

“If I had done it on purpose don’t you think that I would have aimed a bit better?” Marcon said scooting over and putting an arm around Luna’s shoulders. She just tried to scoots away, but Marcon grinned and pulled her closer.

“Let us go!” Luna whined and tried to wiggle away. Marcon just kept his grip on her and hugged her a bit closer.

“Not until you accept my apology. I could have just let Tia leave the wards on this room until you calmed down.” Marcon said snickering. Luna just huffed and continued to try and escape the humans grasp. “Luna. If you don’t accept my apology I am going to have to resort to drastic measures.”

Luna simply gave him an annoyed expression and raised an eyebrow. Marcon gave her his best evil grin, which made her slightly shiver with discomfort, before he used one his hands and prodded her side. Luna’s eyes widened as her body flinched at the action.

“Thou wouldn’t dare.” Luna said glaring at the human. Marcon just kept on grinning with that evil grin of his. “N-no.. Thou can’t! Tis too cruel!!”

Marcon just gave her a wink before taking his arms off and quickly began to prod and tickle Luna’s ribs and sides. Without anyway of stopping it, and her magic being useless without being able to concentrate, Luna just laughed and laughed. She flailed a few times to try and hit the oppressive human, but he simply dodged and continued his tickling assault. Marcon had even decided to enjoy some laughter as well as he tickled the defenseless princess.

“Okay okay! Thou wins!! We forgive thee!! Just enough with this torture!!” Luna begged through her laughter. WIth a triumphant smirk, Marcon stopped and let Luna calm down. She panted and huffed for a moment until she glared at the human from her spot on the floor. She attempted to get up, but do to the merciless tickling, she could only muster the strength to roll onto her belly and spread her wings out.

“Thou....” She panted for a moment. “... Are a cruel and evil creature.”

“Nah that’s just human nature.” Marcon said with a smile. He scooted over to her and placed his hands on her sides again. Luna flinched and scrambled away as best she could, which wasn’t very good.

“Th-thou said thee would stop!!” Luna said in fear of being tickled more. Marcon just chuckled and scooted back over to her.

“I did stop. I am trying to help you up now.” He said with a smile. Not a evil smile nor a mischievous one. A regular gentle, helping smile. Luna just huffed and sighed. This time she didn’t flinch as he placed his hands on her sides and let him lift her up so that she could sit properly.

“Thou owes us now.” Luna said shifting so that she could sit without having to worry about her legs giving away. Marcon just looked at her quizzically.

“Why? All I did was tickle you.” He said chuckling. Luna just smirked and nodded before leaning against him.

“Precisely. Remember the deal we made a few weeks ago?” Luna said smiling with her trademark ‘Prankster’ Smile. Marcon looked off before groaning and putting his face in his hands.

“Oh god.... I thought that was just fake.” He said groaning even more. Luna just snickered and recited a part of the ‘deal’ they made.

“I, Marcon, shall not tickle Luna unless given permission or if it is the only way to save equestria. If I should ever break this pact, I am to owe Luna any favor she wishes with obvious exceptions.” She recited and smirked at him.

“God.... Damn it.” He said lifting his head. “Alright.... What do you want?”

Luna simply, and lazily, lifted a hoof to her chin again. “Well. How about that thing you do to help the new maids calm down when they see you.”

Macon looked off before smirking. “You want me to comb my hands through your mane?”

Luna simply smirked and nodded. Marcon shook his head and rolled his neck, cracking it as he did so, before sighing and nodding to her.

“Alright then. Come here and I will get to work.” Marcon said crossing his legs and gesturing her over. Luna smiled and giggled while scooting over and laying her upper half onto his legs and crossing her forelegs before laying her head upon them.

“Comfy?” Marcon said with sarcasm dripping from his words.

“Quite thank thee. Now go on! Get to it!” Luna said with a chipper voice. Marcon just sighed and began to work his hands through Luna’s mane. She let out a relaxed sigh and slowly began to drift off into sleep. After a few minutes of this simple activity, Luna was out like a light and Marcon was bored out of his mind. Marcon looked to the Princess on his legs and shook his head. He gently picked her up off his legs before standing up and picking her up again.

He took her over to her bed and laid her down before walking over to the door and leaving.

“Well.... That went better than expected.
