Date With The Sun and Moon: Part Two

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

“Twilight, Twilight, wake up dear we need to get going.”

Twilight awoke rather groggily from her sleep, blushing as she saw that Luna and Celestia were still wrapped around her, both smiling as they looked upon her.

“Why do you blush dear Twilight, after all you have probably done far more daring things with dear Cadance, and will soon be doing such with ourselves, so why blush?”

“Cause it’s still embarrassing,” said Twilight, hiding her head behind her wings as she continued to blush. “I mean look, I accepted long ago that that my crushes for all of you were just that, crushes. But now I’m on a date with you, and the night before I made love to Cady…it’s just all so…”

“Confusing,” asked Luna, smiling as she peeked under Twilight’s wing. “Love often is young Twilight, why just look at Tia and I, our love changed in many ways, evolving as we grew till finally it blossomed into what it is now.”

“Wow,” said Twilight, finally lifting her wings away from her face and watching Luna as she went over to prepare there breakfast, before turning to Celestia to speak.

“You know, this does bring up one question I have been dying to ask ever since you made mention of it.”

“Oh,” said Celestia, “and what question might that be?”

“Well if it’s not too personal, would you mind telling me what pony types you were…before the transformation?”

“Called it,” said Luna as she prepared more food, causing Celestia to shake her head as she turned to Twilight.

“Well Twilight, while it would be easy to just tell you, I would much rather have you guess, though I will give you a hint. With all alicorns, there is a simple way to tell what pony type they were simply by looking at their size and the way their body is shaped.”

Twilight giggled at that, “If this is some clever way of getting me to check you out, you don’t need to go to such measures.”

Twilight then proceeded to look over both Celestia and Luna, taking note of how their bodies differed. Luna, much like Twilight, was small for an alicorn, but was still taller than most ponies, and her body type gravitated more toward unicorn origins.

Celestia on the other hoof was easily twice the size of the largest stallion, and her…generous proportions hinted that she originally had been an earth pony, though Twilight found that hard to believe.

“Well, judging by your body structures, I would have to say that Luna used to be a unicorn, while you used to be an Earth pony, but that can’t be right.”

“And why is that dear Twilight?”

“Because I find it hard to believe that an earth pony could manage to lift the sun, not without some form of magic.”

Celestia laughed at that, rolling onto her back as the laughter exploded from her, Twilight looking confused and then cross as she noticed Luna had been reduced to a similar state. After the two managed to finally calm down, Celestia draped a wing over Twilight, calming her down before speaking.

“Well Twilight, as hard as this is going to be to believe, I was an earth pony long long ago, and it was with my earth pony magic that lifted the sun up into the sky.”

Twilight’s jaw dropped, but before she could lift it back up from the ground to ask, Luna came up beside her and stole a kiss, freezing her solid and allowing the lunar alicorn to speak.

“It’s true young one, for I watched it all, and it was due to her earth pony magic that she was able to catch and lift the sun back into the sky.”

“Wait, catch?”

Luna nodded, “yes, catch. It was long ago, and we were out watching the unicorns as they began moving both the sun and the moon, preparing for an eclipse. Now the unicorns had already been having problems with the sun and moon, but that day was the day that they finally could not handle the weight of their duty…though, it was a lot more horrifying then what is in the history books.”

This got Twilight curious, “what do you mean?”

Luna sighed, but before she could open her mouth, Celestia spoke for her. “What my sister means is that they didn’t collapse from exhaustion like the history books say, what really happened was that when the stress became too much for them, their horns exploded…”

Twilight’s forehooves shot to her mouth as she gasped; her face a mask of horror as her imagination helped recreate the scene just described to her, “Wh…what happened?”

“Well luckily they didn’t die,” said Luna as she sat down and handed them food, “but the explosion of their horns caused the direction of the sun and moon to change, causing them to begin plummeting to Equis. I, being a unicorn myself, went for the smallest of our celestial bodies, the moon, and began trying to exert my will on it.”

“I on the other hoof,” said Celestia, “had my attention on the sun, for I knew that Luna wouldn’t be able to handle moving moth objects into the sky by herself. And, while I didn’t have magic like the unicorns did, I did have a wild imagination. So I simply closed my eyes, imagined catching the sun on my head, and then I imagined pushing it back into the sky.”

“And that was when our first surges occurred,” said Luna, taking a bite of her food as Twilight looked at her before speaking again. “You remember Twilight what we told you about magic surges, correct?”

Twilight nodded, “Of course I do. After my ascension, you told me that my magical surge was what marked me as a potential alicorn, which is why Celestia took me on as my student, and that all those who experience a surge are potentials.”

“Correct,” said Luna with a smile, “though as you know now, only six ponies have ever learned the lessons necessary to become alicorns, even though the number of potentials has increased over the years. When you experienced your first surge, you became linked with all magic, took it into yourself as a whole, and mad it your talent.”

“And when we experienced our surges,” said Celestia to an enraptured Twilight, “the same thing happened to us. Luna became linked to the moon, learning its mysteries and its wonders, and so it became her talent. And I became linked to the sun, learning its strengths and its weaknesses, and so it became mine.”

The two princesses remained silent for a long time after that, letting the youngest of the alicorns absorb fully the information that they had given her. So much about that day finally made sense to her, the power that had flowed through her, the voice tell her to be calm, that she would understand when she was ready, it all made sense.

“Did…did they talk to you to,” asked Twilight, staring at them both as they looked at her with understanding.

“Our Celestial bodies?” asked Luna, smiling when Twilight nodded. “Yes they did, and as I am sure you are aware, they were very happy to meet us.”

“What happened next,” asked Twilight.

Luna turned to Celestia, nodding to her so that she could return to eating her own meal. “Well after we set the sun and moon on their course,” said Celestia, “we fell to the ground unconscious, and woke up moments later in the astral plane. At first we were alone, but then…well, Faust appeared, with Chrysalis and Fantasia standing beside her as she greeted us for the first time.”

“We were both so frightened when she showed up though,” said Luna, “for in our time, alicorns were mere legends, beings who ponies never really saw, but talked about often.”

“But Faust was able to dispel our fears,” said Celestia happily, “acting as any mother would and comforting us, though that was easy for a being like her.”

“What do you mean,” asked Twilight.

Celestia smiled, “what I mean to say is that to Faust, we were already her children, for she is the alicorn of creation. As such, everything, form the plants, the animals, even us, are her children.”

Twilight looked shocked, but then she looked away for a moment, thinking the whole thing over. In retrospect, she should not have found it surprising that a being like Faust would see herself as the mother to all creation, but part of her found it…strange.

She shook this feeling off however, and instead opted to ask another question, “So what happened next.”

“Well,” said Luna, “she told us that because of what we had done, the spinners of fate spun a new thread into our quilts, giving us new destinies.”

“Sister,” said Celestia, causing Luna to look at her as she pointed to Twilight, indicating her confused face. “It might be prudent for you to explain to her what the spinners are; after all we haven’t exactly had the chance to tell her about them.”

“Oh,” said Luna, before turning back to Twilight with a sheepish grin. “I am sorry dear Twilight, I forgot we hadn’t told you about…well…them, but honestly they are not a comfortable subject to talk about.”

“Why is that?”

“Because of what they are,” said Luna, “Twilight, the weavers are…well, they are the stars.”

“WHAT!”

Luna sighed, turning her gaze up to the skies as she spoke, “you heard what I said Twilight.”

“But…but that doesn’t make any sense,” said Twilight, “I mean from what you say they control fate…how the hay can you control beings that…”

Luna moved quickly, placing a hoof on Twilight’s lips to stay her before speaking herself. “Be still Twilight, I promise it will be something we will tell you later, just not at this moment; after all, we still have our date to get to today, and we don’t want to be spending most of it talking now do we.”

“But…” started Twilight, only to have Luna put a hoof to her lips again, shaking her head before returning to what they were talking about.”

“Anyways, after she spoke with us a bit, she helped us to become alicorns. But, unlike yourself, she did not let us return to the mortal world for quite some time.”

“Why is that,” asked Twilight, looking confused.

Celestia snorted, “Because next to me Faust is a cruel task master that demands perfection when it comes to teaching, and she felt the best place for that teaching was her home, the astral plane.”

Twilight nodded, deciding to ask about the Faust’s home later, for she knew the answers would come in time. “And then?”

“And then Discord happened,” said Celestia, “which forced her hoof, for as tolerant as I have taught you to be of Discord…Faust has always hated him.”

“I see…so him showing up forced her to send you both out before she wanted to.”

“Correct, which lead to the war of chaos, and the eventual finding of the elements, and after that, history is pretty much as you know it from there.”

Twilight nodded again, then watched as the princesses got up, getting up as well as Luna used her magic to clean up the camp sight. “Well Twilight, with this little history lesson over, I think it’s time to take you to another place where we can…enjoy ourselves, after all, we are on a date.”

“Where are we going,” asked Twilight excitedly, watching as Luna shook her head and Celestia smiled.

“You’ll see,” was all the solar princess said, before teleporting them all off the moon with bright flash.

The first thing she felt when the teleportation field vanished was a soothing heat fill her body, and when she opened her eyes she had to stifle a gasp, for she found herself surrounded by a world of heat and flame.

“Are…are we where I think we are?”

“Well seeing as how Luna got to show you her moon, I should get to show you my sun, though admittedly it has been a while since last I walked upon Solaris. Now if you two will excuse me, I think I’ll take a dip.”

Before Twilight could ask what she meant, Celestia leaped into the sun, diving into the molten surface before surfacing a few feet away with a content look on her face.

“Um…” said Twilight as she looked at Luna, “is that safe.”

“Solaris would never hurt Celestia,” said Luna simply, “and as long as she is close to him, he will be of no harm to us. So to answer your question, yes, it is safe.”

Luna then followed her sister, diving into the sun and swimming after as Twilight stared on in shock. Twilight hesitated for a moment, then dipped her hoof into the suns fire, finding it a pleasant feeling, and then decided to dash all her worries and dove in.

It was like she was being wrapped within Celestia’s wings, the heat of the sun flowing over her as she quite literally swam through its fire, and so she let herself float on her back as she let the sun warm her.

“Enjoying yourself Twilight,” asked Celestia as she swam up beside her, the mischievous grin on her face lost to the mare due to her eyes being closed.

The mare hummed her assent, and then Celestia winked at Luna, before moving closer to her target. She then bent down, wrapping her lips around Twilights own as the mare gasped, but soon she surrendered herself to the kiss, breaking it only for a little bit before having her lips stolen by Luna.

“Lulu what have I told you about stealing kisses from me,” said Celestia with a grin, leaning down to nibble on Twilights ear as Luna gave her a wink.

The three princesses continued with their make out session for several minutes, and afterward, they raced each other across the surface of the sun, before finally teleporting back to Equis in front of Twilight’s room.

“We hope you had a wonderful time Twilight,” said Celestia with a grin, leaning in for a kiss before pulling back as her sister spoke.

“And we can’t wait for our date tomorrow, for we have so much to show you,” said Luna, kissing Twilight as well before turning with Celestia to leave.

And after they had left, Twilight leaned against her door, her mind going over everything she would need for tomorrow, till it halted on one important question. “How the buck is mating with those two going to even work?”
