I wake up to Shadow shifting under my arm. After a long night together we had all finally went to our own beds for sleep, but I guess Shadow ended up in my bed anyway. I look down to see Shadow tucked under my left arm, Luna pressed against my right with her legs going over my chest, and Lupus and Hati laying over my legs.... I'm stuck. I lay my head back and just accept it, waiting for someone to else to get up.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hmm... maybe I can just kick Lupus and Hati up. I give my legs a few twitches in attempt to get them up, but only succeed in getting them to growl at me. Well.... shit. That didn't work.

"Mmmm." Shadow groans as she tucks herself deeper under my arm. I think she's waking up.

"Shadow." I whisper, trying not to wake Luna. "Shadow... hey."

"Hmm?" She asks as she looks up to me, eyes dropping heavily.

"Hey, you..."

"Its too early." She complains as she lays back down. I sigh as I let her go back to sleep. That was a bust... I guess Luna's next. I look over to her and begin to rub my nose against her nose, not having a free hand to do so. She sighs a bit and giggles, but doesn't open her eyes at all. Well, that didn't work... guess I need to step it up. I plant a small kiss on her lips, getting her to smile softly.

"Luna?" I whisper. She doesn't wake up, so I kiss her again with a little more force. I pull back and wait, but she keeps her eyes shut. OK, she's messing with me...

LIIIIIIIIIIICK

I lean forward and run my tongue from her nose up to the base of her horn, waking her up.

"MILES!" She yells as she hits me a couple of times before wiping the saliva way.

"LUNA!" Shadow yells as she sits up.

"AAAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Both Lupus and Hati howl as they look straight up.

"Oh good, you're all awake. Lets get some.... oh sweet Barbra."

"Huh?" Luna and Shadow ask before looking to each other.

"Bed head." I state before laughing as they both begin to pat down their manes, trying to get them under control. "You... you... both... get..."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence." Luna warns me as they all glare at me, wolfs included.

"... bed head."

"JERK!" Luna yells as she jumps on top of me and begins to tickle me, getting me to squirm under her. I reach around her and begin to tickle her as well, getting much better results. Thank you fingers.

"TICKLE FIGHT!" Shadow yells before jumping on me and adding to Lunas tickles. I wrap my left arm around her and pull her close as I begin to tickle her tummy, getting high pitched giggles from her.

"BARK BARK BARK!" Lupus and Hati bark as they run to my face and begin to lick my face.

"CHEATING!" I yell as I try to push them away, only to get bombarded with tickles from Luna and Shadow. "OK, OK! YOU WIN!" I yell as I squirm back and forth. They both drop on top of me and we all share a moment of laughter, Lupus and Hati still trying to lick my face. "Well... good morning." I say as we all quiet down, getting a chuckle from Luna.

"What are we going to do today?" Shadow asks as she walks up beside my head and drops down to her side.

"Well... I'll be leaving at sunset for Spartan training, so until then whatever you want. Just the three of us." I say, getting a quiet yes from Shadow.

"Sorry, but it'll have to be the two of you." Luna says quietly. "I'll be with Celestia until we come over to have a talk with you. Sorry Shadow."

"Oh... it's OK. When are you talking to Miles?" Shadow asks.

"Noon... ish. I don't know how long that talk will last, but we'll try to make it short.... Shadow why don't you go down stairs and wait for us in the kitchen for breakfast. We'll be there in a second." Shadow looks between Luna and I before getting up and and climbing off the bed.

"Come on doggies, the old ponies want to talk." She says as she walks out of the room, getting both of them to run after her. Luna sighs as she lays back against me, looking up to me. I wrap an arm around her and rub her back gently, waiting for her to say whatever it is she needs to say.

"Did she just call the wolves doggies? Actually, never mind. Miles, Celestia is coming here to talk with you, but... I think this would be the best time to tell her... about us."

"Are you sure?" I ask, getting a nod from her. "Alright, we'll do it together."

"What do you think the best way to approach it would be?"

"I say just go for it. Stand side by side and say 'Celestia we're married.' I'm sure there will be harsh words, but they won't matter. We just need to keep each other strong."

"I'll be honest, I'm a little scared. Do you think she'll try to attack you?" Luna asks as she drapes a wing over me.

"Maybe.... more than likely. Don't worry though. I'd never hurt family. She can throw all of the punches at me she wants..."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't let her hurt you. But if you could do this without yelling, that would be best... Miles."

"Yeah?" I ask as I look down to her eyes.

"I love you, no matter what happens."

"I know. I love you to." I say before leaning forward and giving her a deep kiss. She pulls me close as she sighs into the kiss, getting on top of me as she does so. I break the kiss and glance back to the door before smirking up to her.

"What?" She asks with a chuckle. "Think you're getting lucky?"

"Think you can go a month without me?"

"Think you can go without one of my spells?" Ow.... my pride.

"That may be..."

"I'm only teasing." She says as she leans forward and begins to plant kisses on my neck. "Think you can make this a quick one?"

"Nnope."

"Awesome." She says as she flares her horn to lock the door. As we begin to make out I move my hands all over her body. Starting up at her neck I rub down to her wing joints, along her sides, over her mark, and back up top too start all over again. "Miles..." She moans as she breaks our kiss. I move down a bit and begin to nip and suck on her neck as she holds lightly onto my head.

"Yeah?" I ask as I reach down and start to remove my pants.

"Maybe we should move this to the shower... to avoid any unwanted company." She says as she helps remove the remainder of my clothing.

"The doors locked."

"That didn't stop Spike." She says flatly.

"... fine." I say, getting her to give me a kiss on the nose. She starts getting out of bed, but gasps when I lift her up. I carry her over to the restroom where I kick the door open and step sideways inside, having Luna close and lock the door behind us. "Better?"

"Much, thank you." She says as she wiggles her way out of my arms. I was about to move to start the water, but stopped when Luna pushed me back. When my back was against the wall she started to move down my body, leaving gentle kisses along the way.

When she reaches my stiff member she gives it a tentative kiss. I lean back and sigh from the sudden pleasure as I rest my hands on her head, stroking her mane as she takes my member into her mouth. She begins to swirl her tongue around the tip as she reaches up and begins to caress my stomach. I move a hand up to hold her hoof as I begin to rock back and forth, adding to her bobbing actions.

"Lets take this over to the shower love." I say, getting her to pull my member out of her mouth.

"Okay." She says cutely as she looks up to me. I help her up and take her over to the shower. I have enough time to run the water before she jumps me in another fit of kisses. I twist her around and push her against the wall as I begin to lower my kisses. I find her already exposed clit and immediately begin to suck on it. Luna lets out a small moan as she falls forward a bit, placing her hooves on my shoulders to stay up.

This proves to be a problem, as it positions herself a bit away from me. I use my left arm to push her back against the wall, exposing herself again. I get back to licking again, getting her to squirm under my arm as I do so. I take my free hand and bring it down between her legs, inserting two fingers into her and spreading her lips. She lets out a little moan as I begin to prod inside, getting a mixture of her juices and the running water as I do so.

"A little rougher Miles." Luna asks as she tries to push out towards me. I begin to move my tongue around at a faster, harder rate as I move my fingers up and down, getting Luna to grab onto me as she begins to move up and down. I keep pace with her by beginning to nibble on her button and putting three fingers in her.

ZAP

I jolt back as a sudden wave of magic hits me and heads down my body.

"What spell was that?" I ask as I look up to the lustful Luna.

"Get up here and find out." She says with almost a pant.

"Last time you said that we just fucked for an hour or two, I never found out what the spell actually did."

"Less talk, more sex." She says as she pulls me up and forcefully kisses me. I grab her right leg and lift it up before inserting myself inside her. She lets out a loud gasp from my intrusion as she wraps her arms around my neck for better support.

"I think it was a dud." I say as I say as I start thrusting into her. I don't really feel anything effecting me. I'm not going sex crazy again... or so I think.

"It.... it.... its working!" Luna yells back as she moans loudly. I glance down and watch myself slide in and out of her entrance, looking for anything out of the norm. What the fuck is going on down there... "Miles! Focus!"

"Right." I say before picking up the slack. I begin to slam myself into her, getting loud screams as my reward. I take my free hand and run it up her stomach as I do so, savoring the feeling of her wet coat under my fingers. Likewise, she takes a hoof and begins to move it down my chest, sending chills down my spine from the soft touch.

She begins to shudder underneath me; lips trembling as she grasps me a bit tighter. She couldn’t be that close this soon... unless her spell...

“M-miles. T-t-too c-c-cold.” She quivers. Cold? The water feels fi.... oh.

“Right. Lets just....”

“Miles?” Shadow asks as she enters the bathroom. Luna and I look to each other in horror as I stop my movements.
“Shadow? What are you doing in here?” I ask as Luna starts to panic.

“Just using the bathroom.” She says as we hear her take a seat.

“Uh... you know theres a bathroom in your room right?” I ask as Luna pushes me off and, as quietly as possible, gets out from under the water.

“There is? Huh... oh well.” She says nonchalantly. Luna I just look to one another as we wait for her to finish her business. This is wrong on all kinds of levels... “Hey Miles, did Luna leave? I didn’t see her down stairs.” Well... at least she doesn’t know she’s in here.

“Uh.... I think she... went to... go... get... something?” I say as I look to Luna for help. She only gives me a panicked shrug as she eyes the curtain.

‘Clear curtain’ she mouths to me. I think about it for a second before I put one and one together. I move over to her and put myself in front of her, attempting to hide her. We begin to have a silent argument over whether or not she’ll notice, ending it with my sitting down with her in my lap.

“Oh... OK. I don’t think she likes me all that much.” Shadow says quietly, getting us to stop bickering.

“What? Why would you think that?” I ask as Luna just stares out through the curtain.

“I dunno, we don’t really spend time together. Plus every time I’m around she has to leave. I know I’ve been here a couple of days, but....”

“I’m sure she likes you plenty.” I say as I wrap my arms around Luna. “She’s...”

“I know. She’s royalty and I’m.... I’m...”

“Shadow, don’t say...”

“I’m mining scum.” She says quietly. I lean back as I let out a long sigh.

“You know I hate that word.” I say as I rub Lunas back, getting her to glance back to me. “You’re not scum Shadow, trust me on that. Luna likes you, she really does, she’s just busy running a country...”

“I know that. But.... I don’t know. I can’t help but feel as if she thinks I’m going to do something bad or...”

“Shadow.” Luna says quietly. “I...”

“Luna? What are you doing in here?” Shadow asks.

“I...” Before we could say anything else the curtain flies open.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MILES!” Shadow yells as we just sit there, dumbfounded that she just threw back the curtain. Luckily for me, Luna’s hiding my shame from her.

“Shadow I...”

“EWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEW!” She yells as she runs out of the room and down the hall.

“Well.... that could have gone better.” I say as Luna pulls the curtain back.

“*sigh* why couldn’t she just use her own bathroom.” Luna says as she looks down.

“It’ll be alright. I’m sure you’ll get along just fine once you spend some time together.” I say as I continue to rub her back, leaving trails of dried fur.

“Yeah... I’ll be sure to make time while you’re gone...... no Miles.”

“Aw come on.” I say as I wrap my arms around her and pull her close. “She already left. What the...”

“Miles, the fact that you’re still up is a little disturbing. Not to mention.....”

“Luna.... one month.” I say, getting a sigh from her.

“This is wrong on so many levels....”

AH SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK! I can’t believe I just saw what I saw! Why were they showering together! That just... gross! How could anypony want to be in the same space where another pony is washing? That’s just.... blech...urgh.... I think I’m going to puke.

I make it to the living room where I jump on the couch and bury my the seat, trying my best to think of something else. Just stop thinking about all of the dirt and grim washing off of one pony and getting all over the other pony..... EWEWEWEWEW! WHY BRAIN!? WHY!? I need something to take my mind off of... the gross ponies.

I jump off the couch and begin to run around the house, trying to find anything to get my mind off of... them. *shiver*.

Why is everything in this house CLEAN ALREADY! Forget it, I’ll just go... make breakfast. I run to the kitchen and throw the refrigerator door open. OK, lets see.... fried hay.... eggs.... cantaloupe... broce.... ew. OOO! Strawberries!

I grab the strawberries, along with a few other things, and begin making pancakes. I knew getting Miles to buy these was a good idea, I’m sure cooking will take my mind off of... things.

“Annnnnd done.” I say as I set the last plate on the table. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but I’ve finally finished setting the table with all of the cooked food. And even better, there were only two fires this time!

“Shadow?” Miles says as he and Luna walk into the room. Miles is dressed in black pants and a tight white shirt.... I’ll have to ask him why he wears all of that another time.

“I made breakfast!” I announce with a slight hop. They look to each other before walking over and taking their seats. I run to Miles’s side and take my seat, scooting forward and digging right in. Hopefully my delicious cooking will stop any... discussions.

“Miles don’t. There are strawberries on these pancakes.” Luna says, getting Miles to set his bite down. “Sorry Shadow, but Miles is allergic to strawberries, speaking of which. Why do you even have these?” She asks as she looks over to Miles.

“Well..... Shadow asked if we could get them.... so... we got them.... its not like I was going to eat them.”

“Sorry Miles.” I say as he pushes the plate away.

“Its alright. You didn’t know.” He says as he gets up and goes to the fridge....

I let out a small sigh as Miles goes to get something he can eat. I look back.... is Shadow giving me the stink eye?

I get back to the table and set down all the food I plan on eating. I just had to buy strawberries. Well... I guess we can still get them, its not like everyone in here is allergic to them.

“Miles, what are we going to do today?” Shadow asks asks as she leans towards me, batting her eyes a bit.

“Uh.... I don’t know. I didn’t really plan anything for today. What do you feel like doing today?” I ask as I take an apple and bite into it.

“Anything you want to do is fine with me.” She says before taking a bite of her pancakes. I take the cup with the red-orange juice in it and...” WAIT!” She yells as she jumps at me.

“GAH! What?!” I yell as I nearly drop the glass, spilling most of the drink on the floor.

“I put strawberries in the orange juice.” Shadow says slowly as she sits back down. I look back to the cup before sighing.

“It’s alright, I wanted water anyway.” I say as I get up.

Once Miles turns his back Shadow goes right back to giving me the stink eye. I can’t believe this little filly is giving me attitude. Given I did just ruin her foalhood, but.. still.

“Luna,” she says as sweetly as possible, “do you have to leave today? I thought we could play together.” She asks as she pouts a bit. Oh you.... clever little...

“Sorry Shadow, but Luna has to meet up with Celestia.” Miles says before taking a drink of his glass. Of course he doesn’t see what’s going on.

“Yes, but I’ll be back soon enough, perhaps I can come back another time while Miles is gone.” I say as nicely as possible. “Don’t you think that’ll be good Miles? For Shadow and I to spend time together?” I say as I stare back at Shadow. She squints her eyes a bit as she stares back into my eyes, neither of us blinking.

“Sure! Heck, you’re only a minute away from each other. Maybe you can even bring her to Canterlot one day.” Miles says cheerfully, getting us both to blink and look over to him.

“I don’t know Miles... the castle is a lot to take in. Maybe another time.” I say nervously.

“Y-yeah. I don’t want to go to Canterlot anyway.” Shadow nervously adds.

“Well.... think about it at least. I’m sure once you two get to know each other it’ll be better... do you hear something?” He asks as he looks out the back door. He begins to stand up, only to get Shadow to grab onto his pant leg.

“Don’t leave. You said we’d spend the day together.” She says with a little pouty face. OH she’s good...

“Well... I won’t leave. I’m just going to see what it is. I’ll be right back.” He says before he stands up and leaves the room.

I step out back to find Damian and his group wait for me.

"Your thing started buzzing last night." Damian says as I walk up to him and look around.

"Hmm, your the first one here. Anyway, Spartan training will begin at sunset. Be here at that time and we'll begin...." I pause when I here some yelling from above. I look up...

CRASH

I shake my head and look down to see some purple and grey pegasus laying on top of me.

"Night Fury?" I ask as we both start to get up. "Why did you crash into me?"

"I wanted to see if you'd move." He says mockingly as he flutters over to Damians side. "Who's the kid?"

"Damian. I'll be training along side with you." He says as they shake hooves.

"Well, like I told Damian, we wont start....

"NO HE'S MINE!" Luna yells from inside. I pause for a moment before walking up the steps and....

SPLAT

"Fucking strawberries...."

THUD
