Author's Notes:

This is it. It's been quite a ride. It's taken me a while to get this far but I've finally made it to the final chapter. And as some of you may have been expecting... yes this is indeed a clop chapter. It is my first one as well so I can't promise it will be great and please don't make any overly critical judgments on it either. A big shout out to my secondary beta-reader The Exotic Natasha for helping to edit the clop scenes. So without further ado, enjoy.

Edit: Time for Round 2.:D

The city of Canterlot looked lively in the glow of the midday sun. Shoppers were out buying the best clothing, jewelry, and other supplies they could think of. Children played and laughed with their friends. And many other ponies went about their daily lives, enjoying themselves as best they could. But for one pony in particular, the world around him seemed quiet as he walked through the streets. Caster Forge did not give attention to what happened around him. For his mind was too preoccupied for what he had planned to do.

It had been two days since the night of the festival. Two long days since he had last seen or talked with his close friend, Anima Memoriae. And it wasn’t because they couldn’t see each other, rather Caster needed some time to sort out his feelings one last time. When their date had ended, Anima thanked him with a gift he could only dream of. A kiss, a real kiss from somepony who truly cared about him. He was so ecstatic from what happened that he became a wobbling mess when he came home, with his family bombarding him with questions on how it all went.

When Caster had finally settled down from his love high, he began to think on his situation. He could no longer deny now that there was truly something between him and Anima. It was obvious she had feelings for him and vice versa. The only real problem Caster faced was how to approach this topic. If he did it wrong, things might end up being awkward for them, making it more difficult to confess his feelings for her. He spent many hours trying to find ways to proclaim his love in a way that seemed both fitting for him and appropriate. Unfortunately all of Caster’s ideas ended up being crumpled and thrown away in the back of his mind.

It wasn’t until the night previous that he finally realized what to do. Throughout all their time together, Caster and Anima had shared many details of their lives with each other, even some of their most well kept secrets. And they never needed any elaborate planning or special occasions to do so. They merely talked with one another and the subject would eventually come up. Which was all that Caster needed: to talk with Anima. If he could do that, then he could find the right moment to talk about their situation.

And so, with a determined mind, Caster had awoken the following morning ready to take on what his heart had been preparing so long for. He had first gone over to Anima’s home, only to find out that she was spending the weekend over at her new room in the castle. After changing his destination, his mind had become solely focused on what he had to do. He just seemed to tune out everything around him due to his determination. But Caster’s focus was soon broken when he felt himself hit something and then heard two ponies calling him.

“Whoa, Caster, are you all right?” Swift Wind questioned, him and Spell Weaver approaching their friend.

“Ugh, I’m fine. Sorry, guess I was a bit distracted,” he replied, rubbing his forehead.

“Apparently enough to walk right into the gate and ignore us it seems,” Spell stated.

“Heh, never thought I’d have one of those moments,” Caster said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Right. So what brings you here, Cast? You don’t work on Sundays,” Swift Wind asked, knowing Caster usually only came here for work.

“Well, I’m here to see Princess Anima,” Caster said.

“Oh really? I thought you two were done with your lessons and whatnot,” he added, increasing his curiosity.

“We are. This is more of a personal matter between the two of us,” Caster stated, hoping they would get the message.

“Oh, I see. Going to spend some quality time with your special somepony?” Spell inquired, chuckling from teasing his friend.

“Yes.”

“Huh?” Swift and Spell said, staring at Caster in disbelief.

“I guess you could say that. If things go well between us, anything could happen. Though all I’m looking for right now is to simply talk with her,” Caster said, in a calm tone.

The two guards merely looked at each other in disbelief.

“Um, so do you think you guys could, you know?” Caster asked gesturing towards the gate.

“O-oh, right of course,” Spell Weaver said, as he pulled a nearby lever letting the steel gate rise.

“Thanks, wish me luck, Swift, Spell. I’m going to go win the heart of a Princess,” Caster stated, heading off towards the castle.

“Hey, Spell?”

“Yeah, Swift?”

“Do me a favor and wake me out of whatever crazy dream I’m in right now,” he asked, an incredulous look etched on his face.

===============================================================

It was amazing to think how slow time could become in a single moment. And Caster was certainly experiencing this as he stood in front of the large wooden double doors to Anima’s personal chambers. To the side of it was a lone guard stationed to guard her. Caster had already gotten permission from the stallion to enter, now he was merely preparing himself for what was to come. He fixed his hair and straightened out his blue jeans and black t-shirt for what seemed like the twentieth time. Eventually, Caster shook off his apprehension as he gingerly knocked on the door a few times.

A small yelp could be heard from the other side as well as what sounded like frantic movement. This had caught the curiosity of both Caster and the guard as they waited in silence. After a few moments of listening to the sounds coming within, the doors finally opened to reveal what Caster had been prepping for. Though what he saw was a bit different from what he expected. Anima Memoriae stood before him, wearing a pink nightgown made of silk that went just past her knees. Her mane and tail lacked their usual style and her glasses were loosely perched in front of her face, which was devoid of makeup. And her wings seemed untidy and were slightly wet. For Caster, it was a sight that made his heart soar.

“Oh, Caster, I wasn’t expecting to see you again so soon, let alone like this,” Anima said, blushing from both seeing her crush as well as from the attire she wore. “What are you doing here?”

“Um, well, I was wondering if you and I could talk to each other for a while. In private if that’s okay,” Caster said, hinting towards the guard.

“Of course, it’d be lovely to speak with you,” she said, before turning her attention to the guard. “You’re relieved of your duties for today, Lieutenant.”

“As you wish, your highness,” he stated, as he nodded and went down a nearby set of stairs.

“Come on in, I’ll show you around,” Anima said, ushering Caster inside.

As he walked inside, Caster couldn’t help but admire the room Princess Luna had granted her student. It was huge, about as big as his living room. The ceiling and walls were coated in a light violet paint while the floors were made of alabaster white marble tile. A few gray columns with intricate designs surrounded the room, adding both style and support. Off to sides were three large doors: one appeared to lead into an elegant bathroom. The other showed a walk in closet, which Caster could only assume was overflowing with dresses. And the last one led to a balcony outside. There was also a desk nearby with some writing supplies and documents. At the very back of the room was a king sized canopy bed with oak brown bed frames and a red comforter, pillows, and drapes.

“Whoa, I can see that Luna spared no expense making this place for you,” Caster stated, observing his surroundings.

“She certainly does know what a Princess enjoys,” Anima said, stifling a giggle.

“It definitely suits a certain somepony I know who’s worked hard to earn it,” he said, throwing a wink her way.

“Oh stop you,” Anima replied, blushing as she sat down on her bed.

Caster was about to join her when something caught his eye. There was a pile of several hand towels, some soaked with water and gunk, the others still fresh. Next to it was a small bucket of water. And covering the bedsheets were stray feathers that looked old or broken.

“So, what’s all this about?” Caster asked, curious to what she was doing prior.

“Oh, this. Well before you came here I was busy preening my wings. Normally my mother’s the one that helps me but I decided to try and do it on my own. Unfortunately it’s a lot harder than I thought, especially with getting the feathers in the back,” Anima said, trying to reach the back of her wing as an example.

“I see. Would you like me to give you a hand?” Caster asked.

“Thanks, Caster, but I’d really like to do this myself. Have to start trying to be more independent after all,” she responded, picking up one of the towels and soaking it in water.

“I know, but perhaps I could help guide you through it at least. So that you’ll be able to handle it better in the future,” Caster offered.

“Hmm, all right. Show me how it’s done,” Anima said, fanning out her wings and sticking out her tongue playfully.

It took Caster a moment to stop gawking at Anima’s cheerful demeanor before he moved over to sit next to her on the bed. Doing the same process with the towel as her, Caster showed Anima the best ways to clean out all the dirt and grime that got stuck between her feathers. Sometimes he would have to be rough to get some of the trickier spots. But most of the time his touch was soft and gentle as his hands glided smoothly across her wings. Then Caster went about pulling out any loose and broken feathers that he spotted, making sure not to pull hard so as to not draw blood.

Though the second part was a bit painful, Anima was too distracted by the sensations she was feeling. She was still new to the sensitive feel of wings and the way both her and Caster’s hands were touching her sent shivers up her spine all the way to her brain. And Caster soon took notice of her pleasured expression as well as the rising blush on her face. So he tried falling back to his original plan to avoid things becoming more awkward.

“So, Anima, h-how’ve you been doing since I last saw you?” he asked, nervously as he took out a feather and cleaned away some gunk.

“I-I’ve been fine. Just working on some l-lessons from Princess Luna. Helps keep me busy after all,” she responded, brushing past a particular sensitive area.

“That’s good, always nice to have something to do. Especially when it comes to your role as Princess,” Caster said, blushing as he stared at her wings, which glistened from the moisture surrounding them.

“The Princess of Memories, no less,” Anima added.

“Indeed and I know you’ll do a wonderful job at it,” Caster replied, bringing the wet towel to the base of her wing.

Those words, along with the sensation he was providing her, made Anima blush even more than before. She could feel her body growing hotter with every passing moment the two of them spent treating her wings. Not wanting to be overcome by her feelings, Anima continued to speak.

“What about you? What have you been up to, Cast?” she asked, wincing from pulling out a few damaged feathers.

“Not much to be honest. Just spending some time around the house, trying to relax and think to myself,” Caster answered, seeing this as his opportunity.

“Oh really, what about?” Anima asked.

“Well, I’ve been thinking a lot about the date we had at the festival,” he said, straightening a few of her feathers.

“Yeah that truly was a wonderful night. I’m glad we could spend time together like that,” Anima said, drying her wings as they finished.

“So am I. However, there’s been one thing that’s been stuck on my mind,” Caster stated, blushing and looking away from Anima.

“What is it?”

“Well I, uh. Geez, this is just so embarrassing,” he said wringing his hands in frustration.

“Hey it’s all right, Caster,” Anima said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. “You’re my friend, and you can tell me about anything that’s bothering you.”

Taking in a deep breath, Caster slowly let it out as he calmed his nerves down enough to say what needed to be done.

“It, it’s about that k-kiss you gave me before we left for the night,” he said, staring down at the tile floor.

“…Oh,” Anima spoke, almost in a whisper as she removed her hand and her face turned bright red.

“I’m not mad at all, if anything I’m kind of glad. It was nice to have my first kiss be given by a friend I trust,” Caster said, smiling as he remembered that moment.

“Heh, heh, glad I could make your first kiss memorable then,” Anima said, nervously twiddling her fingers and facing away from him.

“Yes… But, there’s only one thing I want to ask you about it. Why did you do it?” he asked, turning back to face her. “Anima, for as long as I can remember I’ve spent quite some time thinking about our friendship. I can see that there is more to it but I never wanted to pry too far because I was afraid of our friendship being hurt by talking about it. It wasn’t until I talked with Fancy and Fleur that I worked up the courage to act like my true self around you. And after that kiss you gave me, I had no doubt that there was something special between us. So I need you to be honest with me and whatever the answer is, I will accept it. Anima… do you have true feelings for me?”

Anima said nothing as she continued to keep her gaze away from him. Ever since that night, she had been expecting Caster to approach her about the subject. Though it was a bit later than she thought it would be, it was finally happening. Caster Forge, the stallion she had fallen for, finally worked up the courage to ask her how she truly felt. Anima’s heart was racing like a mad pony as she thought of how to tell him. Tell Caster how he had won her heart just from being himself. After giving herself a moment to compose herself, Anima turned and stared straight into Caster’s eyes, which she could see were filled with longing and concern.

“Caster… yes, I do. But more than you might think… I love you, more than anypony I’ve ever met,” she proclaimed, taking hold of his hand in her own. “Since the day we met you’ve been nothing but supportive for me, both with my lessons as well as my life in general. You never gave up on me and you’ve helped pick me up whenever I fall. There were times when you would be more aggressive, but I knew you were only doing it because you wanted me to be the best.”

Caster listened intently to Anima’s confession, taking in every word with great attention.

“But the thing that truly made me fall for you was that you were always there for me. Whether it was helping me to learn, cheering me up when I had bad days, or just hanging out with me and my other friends, you’ve always been there to cheer me on or ease my spirits. At times when I was feeling lonely, you would come by and I never felt happier. And of course you saved my life from that horrible stallion without a moment’s hesitation. It was actually on that very night that I realized my feelings for you were real. You don’t have to love me back, I’ll be fine if we can still remain friends,” Anima said, keeping her light grip on Caster’s hand and looking down.

The last words that she spoke rang in Caster’s ears. Not only did Anima confess that she loved him, but also that she kept her feelings secret so their friendship might not be ruined. The same reason he had kept his feelings secret as well. It was all so ironic and Anima’s confession, so sweet, that all of Caster’s doubts, all his worries, and all his apprehension seemed to fade away.

With a smile and a laugh he used his unoccupied hand to grab Anima’s chin and lifted her up to face him. Without a moment’s hesitation, Caster planted a kiss onto her lips, holding it for as long as he could. While she was surprised at his sudden forwardness, Anima offered no resistance and closed her eyes to savor the kiss and what it implied. All too soon, Caster parted from her but held her close to him.

“What makes you think I don’t?” he stated, brushing a stray hair out of her face. “There’s so much I have to say about you that it would take forever to explain how I feel. So all I can say is this: one of the biggest reasons I fell for you was because you too helped keep me from being lonely. Whether intentional or unintentional, your presence always had a comforting effect on me. That very effect is also what helped me to become how I am today. You were able to loosen me up and make me more outgoing because you accepted me for who I was and how I wished to be treated as a friend. But most of all, I fell in love with you because of your unwavering determination and strength. You had plenty of chances to give up on your lessons but you persevered. Even when Smooth attacked you, you wouldn’t go down without fighting back. Your courage and kind nature is an inspiration to me and no other mare, not even the other Princess’, can match it. And it is for that reason and so much more that I honestly, truly, love you with all my heart.”

There were simply no words to describe how overjoyed Anima felt at that moment. It was all so much to take in but the message was clear. Caster loved her, just as much as she loved him. That fact alone was enough to bring tears to her eyes. She didn’t bother to hide them, she was too happy to care. With nothing else standing in their way, Anima wrapped her arms around Caster and kissed him with as much passion as she could muster. Caster brought her closer to him as he returned the kiss with equal force, letting their warm breath enter into each other. They eventually pulled away from each other and gazed longingly into each other’s eyes.

“Do you really mean it, Caster?” Anima asked, merely to hear those words again.

“Yes, Anima, I love you. Princess or not nothing will ever change that,” he replied, kissing her on the forehead.

“And no matter what other ponies may say about you, I will always love you just the way you are,” Anima said, bringing him in for another kiss.

Time seemed to slow down as their kiss intensified. They rolled around on the bed for a while until they stopped near the head of the bed, with Caster on top of Anima. As their kissing continued, their hands soon got to work, feeling the body of their lover. Caster’s hands wandered Anima’s sides, tracing her wonderful curves from her hips to across her legs. Anima’s remained attached to Caster’s torso, feeling the toned muscles beneath his shirt.

Both ponies were beginning to feel something grow within them. A small flame of desire that was being fanned into a roaring inferno of lust. The two of them separated when the need to breathe became too great and panted with blushing faces and eyes filled with want.

“Caster, I want to be with you right now. I feel like I’ll go crazy if I have to wait another moment longer! Please, make love to me,” Anima exclaimed, caressing his cheek.

“Y-you won’t have to ask me twice, Anima,” Caster said, a hint of hesitation evident. “I’ll certainly try my best. I’ve never done this before so I can’t promise it’ll be perfect.”

“That’s all right, I understand. I’m happy to be your first and I know you’ll do just fine. Besides, it will definitely be a moment we’ll remember for a long time. After all,” Anima said, removing her glasses and leaning into his ear before whispering. “You’re my first as well.”

If Caster’s eyes weren’t already wide enough, they certainly were now. He and Anima were both virgins. He would be the first to pluck her flower, the first to truly love her, and she would be his first lover as well. And, for reasons he could not fathom, that knowledge turned Caster on more than anything. As soon as Anima pulled back to face him, Caster immediately dove back in and kissed her with great ferocity, passion, and lust.

After a minute of their intense make out session, he felt something prodding against his lips. Realizing it as Anima’s tongue, Caster quickly granted her access to his awaiting maw, where his own wet muscle met with hers. Their tongues tangled with one another, wrestling for dominance and savoring the taste of the other. Caster tasted strawberries with a hint of vanilla. On Anima’s side of the spectrum, his taste was tangy like tangerines, yet had a sweet aftertaste of syrup.

Breaking the kiss, the two of them breathed heavily with a thin trail of saliva bridging their lips together. Caster then brought his lips down to Anima’s neck, where he kissed and nipped at it repeatedly, making her gasp in surprise. She also giggled a bit from the tickling sensation his goatee gave her as it brushed against her fur. Meanwhile, one of his hands slowly trailed its way up from Anima’s flank to her breasts, kneading the soft flesh through her gown. The sensation of Caster’s rough, yet delicate hands drove Anima wild as she kept on gasping and moaning.

Wanting to get a more direct feel, Caster brought his hands to the shoulder straps of her outfit and slowly pulled them down. His eyes were soon greeted by the sight of her bare chest, which he gazed at with rapt attention. The one thing he took notice of immediately was how big they were, definitely a D-cup from what he could tell. They were soft, round and did not sag in the least. And her pink nipples stood out hard and stiff, showing how aroused Anima most likely was.

“You know, I’ve never gotten the chance to say this before, but you really do have the best set of tits I’ve ever laid eyes on,” Caster stated, licking his lips in anticipation.

“Fit for a Princess, wouldn’t you agree?” Anima said, squishing her breasts together and winking at him.

“Indeed I do,” he said, groping both of the supple orbs.

Anima writhed in pleasure from the treatment he was giving her. In her head she thought back to the pool party and how amazing Caster’s hands had felt on her back. Now it felt a hundred times greater as he continued groping and squeezing her boobs while she moaned her approval. The memory had also brought a thought to her as she stared at the shirt Caster wore. In a flash she moved up and nearly tore it right off of his body as she had her first good look at his bare torso in a long time.

It looked even better than when she last saw, due to all of Caster’s workouts lately. Letting her hands trace over his muscles, Anima could not help but gawk at how amazing they looked. His pecs were firm, yet soft to the touch. Her fingers formed circles around each of his six abs, admiring their form. And she traced the lengths of his many scars, reveling in their rough texture. All in all, it was a feast for her eyes.

“My breasts may be great, but your chest is simply divine,” Anima commented, laying a soft kiss on it.

“Only the best for you, honeypie,” Caster said, pushing her back against the pillows playfully.

Immediately his lips set to work on Anima’s breasts, kissing them all over with the occasional lick. Caster’s hands did their part as well, squeezing the soft globes and rubbing against her nipples. Feeling they needed some more attention, he brought his tongue to her right nipple, flicking it back and forth. He was rewarded with the sweet sound of Anima’s loud moans as she thoroughly enjoyed the breast play.

“Oh yeah, that’s right, sugarcube. Play with my tits as much as you want, they’re all yours!” she gasped out.

“My, what a mouth you have on you, Princess,” Caster said, his warm breath teasing her wet nipple. “Let’s see if we can’t make you do it louder.”

Anima didn’t get the chance to ask him how when she tried to stifle a gasp felt from the wondrous sucking sensation against her breast. Caster’s mouth set to work sucking her nipple, as if he were trying to milk her dry. His hand toyed with Anima’s free breast, teasing and pinching the nipple with his thumb and index finger. All the while, Anima groaned from the pleasure, the multiple sensations climbing from the base of her spine and riding straight up to her brain.

Feeling a little frisky, Caster brought his hand down to the hem of Anima’s gown and pulled it up, revealing a set of black lingerie panties. He then dove right in to her most private region and was met with the feel of her soft, wet marehood. Anima’s eyes shot open from the sudden sensation as she took in a sharp breath. Earning her confirmation, Caster began rubbing against her pussy, feeling its warmth and slowly increasing wetness.

For a while, he continued his ministrations across her body. Caster’s mouth worked on one of her breasts, suckling it like a newborn foal and licking around her nipple. His other hand worked on Anima’s other breast, groping the flesh and tweaking the pink nub. And Caster’s free hand serviced her marehood with great care, rubbing the gentle lips and brushing against her clitoris.

Although she didn’t want the glorious feeling to end, Anima knew it had to for what she wanted to do next. So, fighting past her moaning and writhing, she tapped Caster’s shoulder a few times before he got the memo. Easing his actions, he pulled away from his new lover, letting her sit up while she massaged her breasts.

“Wow, that was amazing, Caster,” Anima panted, smiling seductively at him. “You seem to know a lot about pleasuring a mare than you give yourself credit for.”

“Well… I may have read a few romance novels in my spare time,” Caster stated, blushing sheepishly from his confession. “I guess you could say I picked up a few tips.”

“Well they certainly worked wonders, I can tell you that,” she said, pulling off her gown leaving her in just her panties. “In fact I say you deserve a little treat for that performance.”

“Oh really?” Caster replied, with a knowing smirk.

Taking his hand, Anima led Caster to rest his head against the pillows and she stood above him. Quickly she brought him in for another kiss and used her hands to massage his wings. Caster moaned at her soft touch, enjoying the feeling of her gentle hands brushing through his feathers. It was a sensation he had rarely ever experienced and he savored it to its full extent. Already they were beginning to spread out to their full length, showcasing his arousal as Anima kept up her massaging as well as her kissing.

Eventually she broke away and began laying soft pecks against Caster’s jaw and neck. Anima’s kisses started trailing down, across his chest, stomach, and waist before she came to a stop at his pants. She could clearly see a rather sizeable bulge growing in front of her and her mouth watered slightly at the thought of seeing his stallionhood for the first time. Without even realizing it, Anima’s hands had already set to work unbuttoning his pants and pulling down the zipper.

Wasting no more time, she grabbed the waist of Caster’s jeans and grey boxers and quickly pulled them off. Anima soon found herself staring at his phallus, which stood proudly and hard. It was rather modest in size, not overly gigantic but looked like it was enough to do the job. Before Anima could go to town on what she had been lusting after, she noticed that Caster was looking away, blushing with embarrassment. He realized she was staring at his expression and chose to spoke up.

“Sorry if I’m a bit… small. I never was one for growing that much in that area,” Caster said, doing his best to face Anima.

“It’s all right, I don’t mind. Besides your cock is a pretty decent size in my opinion,” Anima said, gingerly grabbing it in her hand. “It still looks delicious to me.”

“W-well I’m glad you think so-Ooohhh, wow!” Caster moaned, as she stroked his shaft.

Anima moved her hand up and down in a slow fashion, both to tease him and to get a proper feel of his member. It felt so warm to the touch and pulsed softly in her grasp. The thick musk that emanated from it wafted into her nostrils, turning her on even more as she sped up her hand job. She moved in and gave his stallionhood a quick kiss on the tip, relishing the feel of it on her lips. Her tongue soon came out and licked around the flat head, drawing low moans from Caster as he threw his head back in pleasure.

Glad to see that her lover lasted longer than she had expected, Anima became more brazen and licked all over his rod. One of her hands moved down to cup his balls and fondled them in her grip. She continued to grope, lick, and stroke his shaft and orbs, making sure no area went untouched. Pulling back slightly, Anima saw a small bead of precum that had appeared from the head of Caster’s stallionhood. Not wanting it to go to waste she leaned it and licked it up, teasing the small hole in the process and making Caster gasp in pleasure. Smacking her lips, Anima took a moment to get a proper taste of it.

‘Sweet,’ she thought to herself.

Believing that she had teased him enough, Anima moved to the tip of his phallus and brought it into her eager mouth. Her tongue wrapped around it, sending shivers up Caster’s spine. She then moved down slowly taking more of him into her the further she went. Halting her progress just as she reached his medial ring, Anima put her tongue to work, swirling it around the phallus with ravenous desire. Her head bobbed up down, never once going past the midway point as her hands worked the lower half and handled his balls.

For Caster, he felt as if he were in Nirvana from the pleasure Anima gave him. The warmth of her mouth was incredible as well as the way her tongue licked at every inch she took in and out. And her hands were certainly no slackers as they stroked him and fondled his balls lovingly while he gripped the sheets from the wondrous sensations. It was all so new to him and he intended to savor every moment of the fellatio she performed.

After a few more bobs and licks, Anima decided to step up her game and placed her hands on Caster’s inner thighs. With a boost in determination, she moved back down to the medial ring and then started taking in even more. Her path was blocked, however, when she felt the tip poke against the back of her throat, causing her to gag. But she wasn’t about to give up just because of a silly gag reflex. So she pushed herself back down and gulped as she did so. To her surprise, Anima found his cock sliding smoothly down her throat. Seeing her sudden advance, she kept on moving down until she felt her nose press against Caster’s crotch. Opening her eyes slightly, Anima saw that she had taken the whole thing into her mouth as well as the overwhelmed expression on her lover’s face.

“H-holy shit that feels amazing!” Caster exclaimed, surprised by the sudden deep throat. “Please, don’t stop now, Anima!”

Smiling as best she could, Anima gave him a sly wink before she started bobbing her head again. Her movements were slow at first, mostly to let her adjust to this new sensation. But soon she sped up, covering his stallionhood in her saliva as she licked it all over and sucked any precum that dripped out. The taste and the warmth from his cock drove Anima wild and she was reminded of her own needs as she felt a familiar dampness in her panties.

Removing one of her hands, she immediately brought it into her panties where it began massaging the folds of her marehood. The sudden pleasure she gave herself caused Anima to moan loudly as she went even faster at sucking Caster off. Both the moaning and increased speed made Caster let out a moan of his own while he gripped the bedsheets even tighter. His tongue even lolled out of his mouth due to the sheer pleasure he was experiencing.

The wonderful sensation lasted for a while until Caster felt an all too familiar pressure rising in his loins. He could tell he was getting close to the point of no return and tried to hold on for as long as he could. But he soon realized it was all for not as he started breathing heavily.

“Anima, I-I don’t know how much l-longer I’m going to last!” Caster breathed out, barely able to think at this rate.

Those words encouraged Anima to speed up her bobbing as well as the treatment she gave her pussy. Her tongue swished and swayed all around his member, putting pressure on every nerve and licking all around the tip whenever she pulled back. The thought of what was to come continued to drive her forward as she pulled out all the stops in pleasing her lover. The pleasure soon became too much for Caster to bear as he reached his climax.

“ANIMA!!!” he hollered, as his stallionhood throbbed repeatedly.

Anima stopped at Caster’s medial ring when she felt the first spurts of his seed firing into her mouth and to the back of her throat. It was warm, creamy, and had a salty taste to it as well. It was an amazing feeling to taste his cum for the first time and Anima could not help but swallow what she had. Caster’s cock continued to throb, shooting out more of his essence, until he finally eased up and fell back down, panting heavily. Making sure she had gotten every last drop, Anima removed her mouth from his stallionhood, which looked clean and wet, and brought herself back up to eye level with Caster as she snuggled against him.

“So, what did you think of your little treat?” she asked, kissing his cheek and rubbing a hand across his abs.

“It. Was. Incredible, Anima,” Caster replied, trying to recover from the amazing sensation he had gone through. “I never knew a blowjob would feel that good. And I must say you did it perfectly.”

“Glad you enjoyed it, I know I certainly did,” Anima said in a sultry tone, licking her lips and winking at him.

“Indeed,” Caster said, reaching over and groping Anima’s firm yet soft flank. “Although now I think it’s time I repaid the favor.”

“Is that so?” Anima said, feeling the tingling sensation between her legs growing.

“After all, a Princess certainly deserves some…‘royal treatment’,” he said, kissing her passionately before pushing her back against the pillows.

Caster started kissing all over Anima’s neck and breasts making her tremble and whimper from the feeling of his skilled lips. His kisses soon followed Anima’s path, kissing down her midsection all the way to her frilly panties. Coming face to face to it at last, Caster could already see a visible wet spot growing in the fabric. Giving the piece of lingerie a quick kiss, he brought his hands to it and slowly pulled them off, with Anima lifting her legs to help.

Finally, Caster was able to get his first good look at her marehood. Its lips were puffy and wet with the juices that were flowing out of her. The little nub at the top stood out, practically begging to be played with. And just above Anima’s treasured area was a small patch of pink fur that looked like it had been trimmed. A certain aroma brought Caster out of his staring stupor as he took a whiff. He soon realized that the scent came from Anima’s excited marehood. He could already tell, even without looking at her that she was already aroused beyond belief at this point. There would be no need for any teasing.

So, not wanting to keep her waiting, Caster moved down between Anima’s legs and gave her pussy a long, sensual lick from bottom to top, flicking her clitoris at the end. Anima moaned loudly, finally feeling some stimulation against her most intimate area. Caster’s tongue started off light, giving her marehood a few swipes across her outer lips, either side to side or up and down. All the while Anima kept on moaning from all the pleasure coursing through her body.

For Caster, he savored every moment of the treatment he gave her. Partly due to how good she tasted down there. Like when he kissed her, Anima’s essence tasted almost like strawberries. Part of him thought she must’ve consumed a lot of strawberries, most likely the ones grown by Strawberry Rose. Wanting to get a better taste of it, Caster drove his tongue into her marehood and wiggled it against her inner walls.

“Oh buck, yes!!” Anima screamed out, gasping from the intrusion. “Keep it up, Caster, your tongue is marvelous!”

Smiling to himself, Caster complied with her wishes and sped up his tongue work, swirling it all around and hitting every sensitive spot he could find. One of her Anima’s shot down and gripped the back of Caster’s head, bringing his muzzle deeper into her pussy. Caster’s tongue continued to swirl, thrust, and caress all around the inside of Anima’s marehood, both ponies savoring this moment.

After a while, Caster pulled away from her honey pot and brought a hand up to it. Without so much as a warning, he shot one of his fingers inside her and started flicking his tongue against her clitoris. Both of the sensations drove Anima wild as she threw her head back, screaming from the immense pleasure. Her hands released their grip from Caster’s head and were brought straight to her breasts, fondling the succulent mammaries and pinching her nipples as well.

“Yes, yes, oh by Celestia, this is amazing!! Don’t stop, please, I’m so close!” Anima exclaimed, playing with her boobs as if they were her favorite toy.

Surprised by the sudden outburst, Caster doubled his efforts. He thrusted his finger in and out of Anima’s pussy faster with every passing moment. His tongue continued to play with her sensitive nub, even tracing patterns around it. Feeling like it wasn’t enough to satisfy his new marefriend though, Caster shoved another finger into her and sucked on her clitoris. He looked back at Anima and saw a writhing mess of pleasured arousal. Hearing her moans of approval seemed to turn Caster on even more as he got a mischievous look on his face.

Anima’s mind was currently covered in a fog of pleasure. Her eyes were shut tight from all the sensations that were surrounding her body and her arms continued to mindlessly fondle her large breasts, occasionally bringing them up to her lips as she suckled on and licked her nipples. She just needed one more, something to truly drive her over the edge. Her wish was granted as Caster’s fingers rubbed against her G-spot. That was the final straw as she proclaimed Caster’s name, bringing herself to an amazing climax.

Caster stopped what he was doing when he heard Anima’s scream as well as from the juices flowing past his already soaked hand. Leaning in, he drank up some of her cum, admiring the sweet texture and scent. He then pulled back and watched as Anima rode out the last waves of her orgasm. When she finally settled down, Caster moved back in and cuddled Anima in his arms, stroking her hair lovingly and letting her catch her breath.

“Enjoying yourself, Princess?” Caster said, teasingly as he twirled a lock of her messy mane.

“That was… oh wow, that was just so wonderful,” Anima breathed out, relaxing in her lover’s embrace. “You must’ve learned quite a bit from all those novels.”

“They may have used some odd phrases and meanings but I got the gist of it,” he said, kissing her on the forehead.

“Well you certainly made that evident,” Anima giggled, kissing him on the lips.

Both of them just sat there holding one another, content to hear each other’s breathing as they calmed down from both of their activities. But that feeling didn’t last long when Caster felt Anima grasp his stallionhood and slowly stroke it until it reached its full length and rigidness.

“I think it’s time we move on to the main event,” Anima said, staring at her coltfriend with lustful ambition.

“You just read my mind,” Caster replied, positioning himself over her and spreading her legs.

“Wait! I almost forgot, there’s something I need to do before we get started,” Anima said, her horn glowing a bright pink aura as she concentrated.

Caster wasn’t sure what she was up to until he saw the same pink aura appear around her soaked marehood. The glowing energy slowly spread across her pelvic area until it came to a stop just as it reached her abdomen. It stayed there for about a minute before it dissipated, showing that nothing had been changed from what Caster could see.

“So what was that about?” he asked, trying to figure what Anima just did.

“That was an anti-pregnancy spell. Princess Luna taught it to me a while back just in case of situations like these. So now we won’t have to worry about anything like that happening in the future,” Anima said, smiling sweetly at him.

“Oh geez, I can’t believe I almost forgot about that!” Caster exclaimed, suddenly feeling a cold chill run up his spine. “I was just so caught up in the heat of the moment that I-”

“Hey, hey, it’s all right. I was getting caught up in the moment too. There’s no need to fret about it now though, this spell works great and you can rest assured there won’t be any incidents in the future,” she said, giving him a reassuring wink.

“Sorry, I’m just not ready to be a father yet. Besides I don’t think I’d be a good one to begin with,” Caster stated, solemnly.

“Nonsense, you worked hard to help teach me to fly and you’ve always been so kind to me and others. You’ll make a great daddy one day, trust me,” Anima remarked, caressing his cheek comfortingly.

“I love you, you know that?” he said, giving a kiss that was short, but sweet.

“I love you too. Now, where were we?” she said, grabbing Caster’s cock and grinning at him.

Caster knew what she meant and got back to the situation at hand. Taking his stallionhood in one hand, he brought it to the entrance of Anima’s own marehood. The head of his penis came into contact with her outer lips, making both participants shiver from the sensitive nerves and the warmth that their most intimate areas gave off. Caster took a moment to rub his member against Anima’s moist lips, lubricating it thoroughly and teasing her for the fun of it.

Deciding that he was done stalling, Caster positioned himself at Anima’s entrance again and slowly pushed his cock into her. Anima inhaled a large breath, feeling the appendage sliding into her deepest recesses. Caster continued to ease himself in, pushing past any resistance that Anima reflexively brought forth, wanting every inch of his stallionhood to be buried within her.

Both ponies wondered how much longer it would take, until they felt their groins connect. Caster looked down and saw where his crotch met up with hers, seeing that he had fit his entire cock into her pussy, and by Celestia did it feel amazing. The warmth and wetness of her insides was unbelievable and the way her walls gripped his shaft was simply divine. Though in his lust-addled state, Caster had forgotten to check on the mare who gave herself to him.

He looked over and saw Anima, her face blushing as red as a tomato and had a mix of pleasure and slight discomfort written across it. On one hand it felt a bit off having his stallionhood take up so much space inside her. But on the other hand the warm feeling of it pulsing against her walls seemed to balance it out, as she couldn’t help but moan a little from the sensation. Anima’s moment of bliss, however, was interrupted when Caster suddenly spoke up.

“Are you alright, Anima?” Caster asked, wanting to make sure she was okay.

“Yes I’m fine, Caster,” she said, opening her eyes to stare into his concern-filled gaze. “You did wonderfully on your first go.”

“That’s good to hear,” Caster said, chuckling awkwardly. “Usually when I read those stories, they have the mares crying out in pain and there’s always that little bit of blood.”

“Yeah, they always do that. Though I guess the reality of it is far from the truth,” Anima stated, giggling at the thought.

“There’s a lesson learned, heh heh,” Caster said, the feeling of Anima’s tight marehood starting to overwhelming him. “So... d-do you want to get started?”

“Sure, Cast, go for it. Just… go slowly, okay?” Anima said, still feeling a little wary.

“I promise,” Caster replied, giving her a wink.

Feeling reassured by his words, Anima wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him down for another passionate kiss. While Caster’s tongue wrestled with Anima’s, his hips moved of their own accord. He pulled out of her slowly, being careful not to hurt her. When only the tip was left inside, Caster pushed his cock back into her, though at a faster pace. He kept up his decent speed, relishing in the feeling of her moist cavern caressing his stallionhood.

Anima, for her part, held on to Caster tightly as her pussy was rocked over and over. It had hurt at first, like she expected, but gradually the pain began to die out. The sensation was quickly replaced with pleasure unlike anything she had experienced before. The feeling of Caster’s phallus throbbing inside of her and brushing against her sensitive walls made her moan with delight into his mouth.

The sounds of wet flesh slapping against wet flesh echoed around the bedroom, along with the two lover’s moans and groans of ecstasy as they continued to rut each other senseless. Caster panted with fervor as he sped his thrusting, letting Anima’s soft marehood massage him in ways he could only dream of. Anima gasped and moaned from the increased sensation, even moving her hips to match his thrusts, making sure his cock got as deep inside her as possible.

“Oh buck, that feels amazing, Caster!” Anima groaned out, separating herself from the kiss.

“Your pussy is what’s amazing, Anima! Like I’m being squeezed by the world’s softest cloud!” Caster exclaimed, feeling her clench his cock from hearing those words.

“Oh, Caster… harder! Buck me harder!!” she yelled.

Seeing how more willing she was now, Caster didn’t hold back as he sped up his thrusts, pulling out all the way and thrusting back in with great force. Anima responded with even louder groans, verging on screaming, and wrapping her legs around Caster’s waist, never wanting him to leave. Seeing how his movements were restricted, Caster went with quicker, shorter thrusts. All the while making sure each one had a hard impact against Anima’s pussy.

Anima couldn’t hold back her moans, nor did she want to. The pleasure was just so mind-bendingly overwhelming that the world around her seemed to fade. All that she could register was her new lover, and the pleasures he wracked her body with. In her mind, she realized that this truly was the stallion she wanted to be with. Someone who understood her, who would always be by her side, and who can give her unbelievable amounts of joy. Caster was, without a doubt, the one for-.

“Eep!” Anima squeaked out.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt a particularly hard thrust from Caster and his tongue licking her horn from top to bottom. He didn’t relent as his tongue licked all around her sensitive horn, sending untold feelings of pleasure straight to her brain. Her own gasping grew louder, feeling both sensations from top and bottom, and she clutched the bases of his wings in response. Caster responded as well with even harder and faster thrusts and assaulted Anima’s horn thoroughly, coating it in his saliva.

The two of them continued to buck against one another, savoring the feelings and the thoughts of the lovemaking occurring between them. However, Caster started to feel the all too familiar sensation of release approaching.

“Anima, I’m going to cum! I can’t hold it much longer!” he proclaimed, never letting up in his thrusting.

“Me too, Caster! Don’t hold back, give me everything you have!” she stated, holding onto his wings as if her life depended on it.

Caster nodded and as he continued licking and sucking on her horn and thrusted into her like a mad man, exiting her quickly and pushing himself back hard, his hips appearing as a blur. Anima’s tight, wet, and warm walls were quickly draining away what little resistance he had left. He gave a few last bucks before he thrust into her all the way, and both of them yelled out.

“ANIMA!!!”

“CASTER!!!”

His stallionhood throbbed over and over, releasing thick ropes of his semen into Anima’s womb. Anima’s eyes widened in surprise, feeling Caster empty his load inside of her. Both the realization and the feeling of his hot and silky sperm drove her into her own, mind blowing climax. Caster could feel Anima’s juices flow past his cock as well as her marehood tightening around him, threatening to milk him dry. Anima’s horn also gave off its own orgasm as several spurts of magic erupted from it, glowing brightly and then fading in an instant. Caster made a few short, yet hard thrusts into her, making sure she received whatever he had left to offer.

Eventually, Anima began to relax as her arms and legs released their grip on Caster. He responded by slowly pulling himself out of her, making her gasp slightly from feeling him leave. As he pulled his flaccid stallionhood out, Caster watched as their mixed juices dribbled out of her pussy before he laid down beside her. Finally catching her breath, Anima moved over and cuddled against Caster’s chest while he wrapped his arms around her.

“That was incredible, Caster,” she said, giving him a peck on his chest.

“And so were you, Anima,” he replied, caressing her flank. “I’m glad that you were my first.”

“And I’m happy that you were mine as well. Nopony else has ever loved me as much as you do,” Anima said, looking into his deep green eyes.

“Probably because nopony knows you more personally than I do,” Caster stated, winking at her.

“I love you, Cast,” Anima said, kissing him on the lips.

“I love you too, Anima,” Caster said, kissing her back.

They both remained silent for a while, cuddling each other and enjoying the silence that surrounded them. The room smelled of sweat, sex and their bodily fluids, which also stained the sheets below them, but they didn’t care. Caster was finally able to live his dream: having his first time with a mare he truly loved and for her to love him in return for who he was.

For Anima, it was all such a wonderful experience, finding a stallion who understood her and whom she trusted to lose her virginity with. It had opened so many doors for her that she had long since left locked. In fact, one of them was a certain fantasy she had back when she was a few years younger. Something she had always wanted to try with the stallion she would truly love.

“Hey, sugarcube?” Anima spoke up, surprising Caster.

“What’s up, honeypie?” he asked, shaking off some drowsiness that had crept up on him.

“Well, uh, I was wondering, if you’re up for it. You don’t have to do it if you want, but um. Do you think you could do me again… in my butt?” Anima admitted, blushing so hard her fur looked blood red.

To say that Caster was surprised now would’ve been an understatement. Never would he have expected such a request from a Princess, let alone his best friend. Though he couldn’t deny that the thought had peaked his interest a few times in the past. And now that Anima was offering him the chance to try it, how could he possibly say no?

“Say no more, my little princess,” Caster said, kissing her on the muzzle before flipping her over onto her stomach.

Despite her distaste from when her mother called her that, hearing Caster say it made her even hornier than she was previous. Eager to try this new sensation, she got onto her hands and knees, stuck her butt up in the air, and moved her tail out of the way to showcase her awaiting plothole. Remembering that a thorough dose of lubrication was required for this activity, Caster moved a hand down and swiped it across Anima’s soaked marehood, gathering some fluids and making her moan.

After applying her fluids to his phallus, and getting it hard again in the process, Caster scooted forward and guided his cock with one hand to her anus. He pressed the tip to the entrance, earning a soft squeak of surprise from Anima as her body visibly tensed up.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle, I promise,” Caster said, trying to comfort her with his words and rubbing her flank sensually.

“Thank you, Cast. Go ahead, I’m ready,” Anima responded, looking back at him with a sense of trust.

Never once breaking his gaze from hers, Caster nodded before slowly pushing himself into Anima. It took a little more effort, but he was soon able to get at least the tip of his stallionhood inside. Though the sudden entry caused Anima to tighten up again, impeding Caster’s path, he couldn’t help but enjoy the way she gripped him. He allowed her a few moments to ease up before he started forward again.

For Anima, the sensation was truly something else. Not only the feeling of his cock slowly making its way inside her ass, but also the thought of how naughty it was. The idea of having something like this enter her most forbidden hole was so perverse, and yet it thrilled her at the same time. She had played with herself on occasion, but never had she toyed with that area. Already, Anima was regretting not trying it sooner as Caster’s cock continued its slow-paced journey. She would wince and groan every now and then, the pain still evident yet slowly fading away.

Eventually his progress came to a halt when his hips made contact with her shapely flank. They took a moment to relax as well as catch their breaths from the exertion they had gone through. Caster could not believe how amazing this new position felt. Her ass may not have been as wet or as soft as her marehood, but it certainly made up for it with its incredible tightness.

Feeling like they’ve both waited long enough, Caster gripped her ass cheeks and slowly pulled out before driving himself back in at a slightly quicker pace. Anima couldn’t help but groan as Caster thrusted in and out of her at a moderately fast pace while her breasts flopped around beneath her. It felt so big when it was jammed into her backside, making her grip the bedsheets tightly to the point of almost ripping them. But she stood her ground as she let Caster continue to pound into her.

“Buck, Anima, your ass is so tight!” he stated, keeping up his current pace.

“Yeah, it is,” Anima said, her tongue lolling out from the pleasure. “And it feels so good!”

“Then I bet you’ll love this,” Caster said, thrusting a bit faster and bringing a hand down to rub her marehood.

Both sensations made Anima moan out loud as they took her by surprise. The overwhelming pleasure caused her arms to buckle as her face planted against one of the pillows. She gasped with every thrust into her ass, savoring the feeling of both her holes being toyed with.

While it was exhausting for Caster to do so much at once, it was all worth it to hear Anima’s moans and cries of passion, which egged him on to go even faster. He wanted to hear more and that’s when he remembered how much she was moaning when he played with her breasts earlier. Laying himself across her back, Caster continued to thrust into her with one hand caressing her pussy while the other one moved to fondle one of her swinging tits roughly.

“Oh yes, that’s right, Caster! Play with my breasts, toy with my pussy, and pound my ass with your luscious cock! I’m all yours!!!” Anima screamed out, almost as loudly as Luna’s Royal Canterlot voice.

Hearing her moans of pleasure as well as her sudden outburst, caused something to snap inside of Caster. With a grin that looked almost predatory, he started thrusting into her with reckless abandon, foregoing any notions of being gentle. His hand immediately shoved three fingers into her marehood and thrusted in and out like a piston while his other hand continued its onslaught of her mammary, occasionally tweaking her nipple.

All three feelings were just too much for Anima. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head from the intense pleasure she was receiving from all ends. Caster’s actions were wild and rough, probably from all his years of pent up feelings and desires. Yet even now she could feel the loving care that were included in his ministrations as he made sure not to hurt her too much in the first place. That coupled with the amazing activity they were engaged in, brought her ever closer to her approaching climax.

Caster was not far off as Anima’s ever tightening ass continued to grip his cock in the most luxurious way his brain could comprehend. He was amazed he could last this long, especially after already releasing once. But those thoughts soon gave out as he could already feel another release rapidly approaching.

“I-I’m so close, Anima! It’s coming fast!” Caster exclaimed, already feeling tired from all his ministrations.

“Ditto! Do it, fill my ass up to the brim!!” Anima responded, trying to push her hips back in time with his.

That was all the encouragement he needed as Caster thrusted even harder, turning her ass cheeks a vibrant pink. Their groans of ecstasy flooded the room as they continued their intense session of lovemaking. But it was quickly coming to a close as Caster’s inevitable release came closer to fruition. Giving one last thrust, Caster and Anima shouted each other’s names to the heavens as they achieved the greatest climax either had experienced that day.

Caster’s spunk kept pouring into Anima’s clearly sore, yet undoubtedly satisfied rear as he groaned from the increasing tightness surrounding him. Anima, too lost for words on how warm and wonderful his seed felt inside her ass, moaned and gasped in short bursts as she came with great intensity, feeling her pent up fluids flow out and soaking the sheets below. Their climaxes went on for a full minute before they finally collapsed next to each other, utterly spent.

Both of them panted heavily, feeling like they had just done the Running of the Leaves three times in a row. Caster felt like he had just released months, if not years, of his feelings out and already he started to feel lighter, both physically and spiritually. Anima, on the other hand, had never felt so full or secure. Caster’s cock still remained in her ass, pulsing in time with his heart beat and the warmth of his body calmed her nerves. Feeling the weight of slumber crashing down on them, both ponies fell fast asleep, Caster holding Anima close as she snuggled her back against his chest.

===============================================================

The world seemed foggy as Anima slowly regained consciousness. Everything in her mind seemed blurry and it felt like she was floating on air. Her eyes, though they felt heavy, began to open as she tried to get a better idea of her surroundings. When she opened them fully, Anima looked around and saw that she was still in her bedroom at Canterlot Castle. She looked down at herself and upon seeing that she was stark naked, the memories from earlier came flooding back to her.

She looked to her side to find that Caster was nowhere to be found. Searching around the room, Anima’s gaze soon caught sight of him. He was currently outside on the balcony, wearing only his jeans, as he leaned against the railing and looked up at the newly risen night sky. Anima couldn’t help but smile, seeing her new coltfriend look so at peace. Wanting to join him, she threw off the blanket covering her, slipped on her nightgown and glasses, and silently walked over to him.

Caster continued his stargazing session, trying to see if he could spot a constellation or two. The cool breeze of the night blew through his fur and messy mane and his wings couldn’t help but flap excitedly. His peaceful moment was soon interrupted when something warm and soft wrapped its arms around him and snuggled against him.

“Hey, honeypie,” Caster said, looking back to find the mare of his dreams behind him.

“Hey, Sugarcube,” Anima replied, letting go and moving beside him. “How long have you been up for?”

“I only got up about fifteen minutes ago. I came out here to take a look at the sky Luna had prepared tonight. I must say, she really outdid herself tonight,” he said, watching the twinkling stars above.

“She always does,” Anima said, leaning against Caster who wrapped an arm and wing around her in response.

The two of them stayed like that for a while, gazing up at the atmosphere and occasionally pointing out a few constellations.

“So, Anima?” Caster spoke up, suddenly.

“Yes, Caster?” Anima replied.

“We’re coltfriend and marefriend now, right?” Caster asked, feeling embarrassed.

“Of course we are, knucklehead,” she said, giving him a playful shove. “After what we just went through, how could we not be?”

“Sorry, it’s just that now that I’m finally in a relationship it’s almost a little hard to believe. Plus losing my virginity as well certainly adds to that concept,” he said, sheepishly.

“Yeah, things really did get crazy back there. But we’re here now and I couldn’t be happier to have you by my side,” Anima said, giving his hand a kiss.

“And so do I,” Caster said, pulling her in closer. “I promise I’ll be the best coltfriend that you deserve.”

“There’s no need for that, Caster,” Anima said, looking him in the eye. “You’re already the perfect coltfriend to me.”

No words were needed to be said anymore. Caster wrapped both his wings around Anima, and she did the same with him as they came in for another passionate kiss. Their tongues caressed with each other’s, not bothering for dominance and just savoring the feeling. The moment was cut short, however, when Caster, opening his eyes slightly to gaze at his lover, noticed something occurring in the night sky.

Drawing himself away from Anima’s sweet lips, Caster looked into the distance to see something that took him by surprise. Anima, feeling their moment end so abruptly, followed his gaze and found a sight that stole her breath. A few of the stars were moving around, flying in patterns neither were familiar with, yet they couldn't help but admit that the spectacle alone was mesmerizing. More and more began to follow swiftly, as if a nearby galaxy was in disarray. After a while the two ponies noticed the stars were beginning to take shape and wondered what this new image in the sky would be. Almost as if staring into a mirror, Caster and Anima saw none other than themselves, drawn in the light of the stars, holding each other tenderly. The anomaly was both unbelievable as it was breathtaking as both of them stared in awe with slack jawed expressions.

They were severely confused until a sudden realization came to mind. Shooting their gaze to one of the nearby towers, they saw the mare of the night herself, Princess Luna, lowering her arms and releasing her magic as she turned to them with a smile. Neither Caster nor Anima could say a word, seeing the Princess just smiling at them and after what she had done. Giving them a quick wink, Luna slunk back into her chambers for the night, leaving the pair completely baffled.

But soon they snapped out of their trance and looked back at each other. All they could do was chuckle at what had just transpired. Caster, though surprised by the event, was glad to see someone supported their relationship, especially considering some people tended to look down on royalty marrying commoners, so to speak. Anima, for her part, felt overjoyed that her teacher went out of her way to do all this for them. Even now she realized that mentioning the festival was meant for them. Princess Luna was always there for them, whether in the real world or in their dreams.

As the realization of the events finally died down, the two ponies each let a yawn, tired from both comprehending this ordeal as well as from their earlier activities. So with what energy they had left they made their way back into Anima chambers and clambered back into the large bed. Caster laid on his back before Anima rested against him, using his chest as a makeshift pillow as he placed his arm on her shoulder.

“Good night, my little Princess.”

“Good night, my heroic Knight.”

With that they shared one last kiss before falling into the beautiful realm of sleep. They had been through so much but now they finally had each other. They had earned a love born from a chance friendship. A love that came from getting to know one another for who they were. Love born from seeing what they had missed upon their first encounter. Love at second sight.
