Fly Me to the Moon
Chapter 2: Livin' Easy, Lovin' Free....
Previous Chapter[Pre-story A/N: I plan to have this story focus on the political aspects of Princess Luna having Jacob move in, and how that will affect their daily lives.]
Jacob opened his eyes.
There they stood, in the halls of Canterlot Castle. It was just like the show, but more..... expensive-looking. Soft velvet carpets underfoot, stain-glass windows coloring the light, and servants walking down the halls, a few of which were stunned to see such a creature in the halls.
He looked to his left to see Twilight Sparkle, as a unicorn. Her head only came up to his chest, putting her at around 4 feet tall.
Jacob pinched himself on his arm, and when nothing happened, his smile grew even wider. He was really here. Oh, how he had dreamed of coming here. He had thought deeply about what it would be like, and what he would say.
He was so deep in thought that he barely noticed Twilight poking his side with a hoof.
"Not to bother your train of thought, Jacob, but Princess Celestia would like to speak with you."
Jacob nodded. "Yeah, I figured." Ah, Princess Celestia. Jacob had a few choice words about the Princess of the Sun. He respected her, of course, but he found it very hard to like her. She just seemed too.... perfect. Nonetheless, the pair walked through the hallways, passing servants and guards alike (some of whom gave Jacob a few threatening glares), before arriving at the large double-doors that led to the throne room. Twilight's horn began glowing a soft purple, and the doors slowly swung open, allowing them to enter.
There she sat, on her throne. Princess Celestia. Her mane flowed slowly, but there was no wind. Her soft white fur glistened like it was radiating sunlight, and her deep magenta eyes slowly swept around the room, complemented by a soft smile. The room itself was full of nobles, many of whom noticed Jacob and were shocked and disgusted at such a filthy and horrid creature wandering the halls.
Jacob crossed his arms and smirked. Well, fuck you too. The nobles are just as snobby as I imagined, if not more so.....
Celestia saw Twilight and Jacob entering the throne room, and spoke aloud. "Attention everypony, day court is now adjourned until further notice." The nobles just grumbled and walked out the door, some shooting glares at Jacob, while other, less snobby nobles just glanced at him with curiosity. Soon, the room was empty, save for Jacob, Twilight, and the Princess.
Princess Celestia gave a single flap of her wings, and lifted herself off the throne and onto the floor. Jacob only came up to her shoulder; she must have been almost eight feet tall. She gave a smile, and spoke in a casual tone.
"So, Jacob, I suppose you have questions?"
Jacob chuckled. "One's been bugging me. Pray tell, how did you learn my family's wi-fi passcode from three years ago?"
Princess Celestia giggled. "Two six eight, four three five, four five nine, one one five, four three six, eight zero zero. You really do have a memory for numbers, Jacob. And to answer your question, I found the code on your Xbox's hard drive."
Jacob just shook his head with a smile.
Of course she did. She's an all-powerful goddess. Of course she can access my hard drive.
Twilight Sparkle spoke up. "Wait, why do you have such a strong memory?"
Jacob just shrugged. "Comes with the Aspergers. Just the way my brain is wired."
"Well then," Celestia cut in, "I suppose you want to see my sister now?"
Jacob looked up in confusion. "Wait.... She knows who I am?" A smile creeped onto his face.
"Of course she does. I had Twilight bring you here because tomorrow is her birthday, and I wanted to give you to her as a present."
Jacob just grinned. He was so excited.
She knows who I am? She loves me back? Yes yes yes!
Jacob pumped his fist in the air, to the amusement of the two mares in the room. Just then, a voice could be heard from behind. It was a voice Jacob knew and loved to hear.
"Sister? The nobles.... Just left the castle... woke us up..... What is-" The voice cut off, and a second later, Jacob was tackled to the ground in a hug, his face peppered with kisses. His mind was still catching up, but he was able to think one thing clearly.
Best day ever.
Eventually, the kisses died down, and Jacob was able to get up. In front of him stood Princess Luna, bouncing up and down and grinning like a foal on Hearth's Warming Eve. She was, at head height, about as tall as Jacob, which would be a few inches less than six feet. She gave out a squeal of delight, then wrapped her hooves around Jacob, hugging him tightly. It was a hug that Jacob was happy to return. He relaxed in the soft velvet of her fur, the comforting pressure of her hooves on his back, and the weight of her head on his shoulder.
Princess Celestia just giggled at the scene. "Well, there goes my original plan. Happy birthday, dear sister."
Princess Luna didn't seem to hear her, just picking Jacob up in her magic and racing down the halls toward her bedroom. Jacob had what one would call an ear-to-ear grin. He was here, and Princess Luna wanted him. This day could not get any better.
But it could get worse.
As Princess Luna ran down the hallway, she stopped when she came across a certain white unicorn stallion. The other nobles looked like saints compared to this guy. He turned around and gasped at Jacob and Luna. Jacob just groaned.
Not this asshole....
"Princess Luna! What are you doing up at this hour? It is daytime!"
Princess Luna nodded, setting Jacob down and putting a foreleg around his shoulder. "We are retiring to Our chambers to spend quality time with Our lover."
Blueblood smiled. "Well, don't let me keep you. But, Princess, what is this... thing, that you have with you?"
Jacob put an arm around Luna's neck. She looked at him, smiling, and planted a kiss on his cheek. "This is Our lover, Jacob."
Blueblood began laughing. "Oh, Princess, I never took you for a jokester!"
Luna tilted her head in confusion. "What joke? We speak the truth."
Blueblood's expression changed from one of laughter to one of shock. "Princess, you have chosen to court with that?! But it is filthy! Unclean!"
Luna's face contorted to one of anger. She put herself muzzle-to-muzzle with Blueblood. "Who We court is Our business, and We will not accept any disrespect towards our choice! Are We clear?" She turned on her Royal Canterlot voice.
"I said, ARE WE CLEAR?!?!" Prince Blueblood hastily nodded before scampering off down the hall.
Jacob sighed. "Well, that was unpleasant."
Luna and Jacob walked down the hall to Luna's bedroom, entering and sitting down on the edge of the bed. Jacob looked to his left, and Princess Luna smiled lovingly at him. He sighed.
"Well, here I am, Princess. I'm really grateful that-” Princess Luna cut him off with a deep kiss. It was only a few seconds long, but it felt like an eternity. She drew back, and gave Jacob a look with half-lidded eyes.
"Please..... Call us... me.... Luna."
Jacob nodded, lying down on the bed, ready to rest after an exciting past few hours. Princess Luna got under the covers, and pulled Jacob under with her. She wrapped her forelegs around his neck, and the two fell asleep in each other's embrace.
