Alright, so because I haven’t released a chapter for a while, and because I might not for a bit longer, I thought that I’d release this bonus chapter to make it up to all my fans out there. I guess I should say “SPOILER ALERT!”, but really, if you’ve been reading this story, then what you’re about to read won’t really come up as a surprise to you at all. Alright, on with the show!

Fiery laid on his back, staring at the drape of the bed that hovered above him, a lit cigarette in his mouth, completely bored out his mind. Next to him laid his computer, his Itunes turned on to his favorite album. Fiery quietly sung to himself, trying to think of anything he could do inside the palace. “So ya, thought ya, might like to, go to the show.” He began to sing as he heard the flutter of wings stop outside, somepony landing on the balcony, with coughing shortly after.

“F-Fiery, must you always smoke those horrible things while I’m away?”

Fiery could feel his cigarette be pulled away from his mouth with magic and become extinguished. “Sorry Luna, but they help me when I’m bored.”

The dark blue alicorn continued to cough a little as she threw the cigarette out onto the balcony. “Well I’d appreciate it if you found another way to spend your time rather than smoking those horrible things. You know, I heard from Tia how they can be bad for you. Not to mention I’d rather not come back to my room being completely burnt down by one of those.”

Fiery rolled his eyes. “Thanks mom, but I already know that. Besides, I’ve been smoking one for every day you’ve been gone, and the place hasn’t burnt down yet, has it?”

“The key word there being yet.” Luna replied with an annoyed tone. She got up onto the bed next to the laptop, opposite of Fiery, and laid on her stomach, sighing softly as she did so. “You also seem to be listening to that….”

“Album?”

“I was going to say monstrosity-“

Again, Fiery rolled his eyes. ‘You nobles and your classical music.’

Luna put on a slightly soured face. “I’ll let that go. But anyways, you always seem to be listening to the same thing each time I come back here. Why do you like it so much?”

Fiery shrugged his shoulders. “First album I liked I guess.”

“Yes, but why?” Again, Fiery shrugged his shoulders, causing Luna to sigh. “…. Do they have to say such awful things?”

Fiery let out an annoyed sigh and turned to the computer, turning off the Itunes before laying on his back once more. “Happy?”

Luna rolled her eyes this time. “You didn’t have to turn it off, I just wanted to know why they had to say such awful things.”

“You say awful lyrics, I say lyrics that expresses the character in a unique way.” Fiery said as he pulled out another cigarette, only to have it whisked away from his hoof before he could even put it in his mouth. He turned to Luna to see her completely annoyed now.

“No.” Fiery had let out another annoyed sigh before getting up from the bed. “Where are you going now?”

“Out onto the balcony.” He answered before feeling himself be tugged back onto the bed. “What are you doing?”

“Just stay here for a while Fiery…. Please?”

Fiery looked towards Luna and saw that she had begun to put her lower lip out and trying to do the puppy dog face. Sadly for Fiery, it worked too well. Fiery let out another sigh. “Can I at least go brush my teeth if we’re going to…. You know….”

“Snuggle?”

“Yeah… that.”

Luna happily agreed and nodded, lifting Fiery’s laptop to the side and placing it on top of the table that was in the middle of the room. Fiery got off the bed and proceeded to go to the bathroom, and minutes later, came out with breath that hadn’t smelled awful anymore. He laid back onto the bed, with Luna getting up close to him and placing her head on top of his chest.

As she felt his chest rise up and down from breathing, Luna could feel herself become sleepy after working all night long and even some into the morning. “Fiery?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you love me?” She asked, with silence shortly afterwards. “Well?”

“Luna, I really don’t want to call you dumb, but do you really need to be asking this?”

Luna giggled some, not being offended as it was the way Fiery expressed himself. “No, I suppose I don’t…. I suppose I shouldn’t have to ask if you regret ever marrying me either, huh?”

Fiery smirked and chuckled some at the question. “No, no I don’t Luna. I’ve been extremely happy these past four years with you.”

“Do you ever regret having the girls come live in the castle?”

Again, Fiery chuckled some. “What’s with these questions Luna?” He could feel her shrug her shoulders.

“Just thought I’d like to know if you ever regret having to come back to us I guess.”

Fiery looked at Luna and smiled. “Not in the least bit Luna.” He said, before quickly kissing her on her forehead, earning a small giggle from her.

Just then, a small, bright-red alicorn colt, with light-blue mane and tail, had burst through the door of Fiery’s and Luna’s room and jumped up onto the bed, smiling widely at the two. “Hi mommy, hi daddy!”

The two looked at the colt and smiled back. “Good morning Comet.” Fiery said to the young alicorn.

“Mommy? Can we go the park today? You promised that we could go!”

Luna smiled a bit at the child nodded. “Sure sweetie, just let me sleep a bit. Your mommy has had a long night and needs her rest. After that, we can all go, okay?”

“Yay!” The colt yelled out as he began to bounce on the bed happily before jumping off it and running back out of the room.

“Well he seems to be in high spirits.” Fiery commented as he watched the colt run out of the room.

“Well, we almost never to get to be with him since I still have to do my night duties and you have all those concerts. Not to mention all the time you spend with the other girls.”

Again, Fiery chuckled some. “I promised the other girls that I would have to stop for a little while. Besides, with ‘Tavi being pregnant again, I should be spending some time with her.” He sighed. “But for right now, out of all the ponies in the world right now, you and Comet are the ones I care about right now.” He put his hoof around Luna and placed it on top of her head, holding her head close to his chest. “For now, we should rest some so we can go to the park later.”

Luna smiled and nodded. “Agreed.” And with that, the two closed their eyes and fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiery woke up suddenly, sweating profusely and almost hyperventilating. Luna had been resting next to him and could feel that Fiery had suddenly become uncomfortable. “Fiery?” She called out. “You okay?”

Fiery began to calm down some and nodded, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “Y-Yeah, just had a nightmare, that’s all.”

“What about?”

Fiery shook his head. “I-I’d rather not talk about it.”

Luna placed her hoof on top of Fiery’s chest and began to rub. “Okay Fiery, but if you do want to talk about it, I’m right here.”

Fiery nodded, so that Luna wouldn’t be concerned anymore before turning to his side, his back facing her. ‘Why in the world did I have that dream?’ He thought. ‘Is… Is that my future?’
