-Narrative-

The remaining days of the week seem to fly by as the two soon-to-be-lovers spent every hour to every minute they could. The others didn’t have any insight on how to bring the two together since Twilight barely hangs around them anymore and Sunset is mostly around Twilight to even get to fully know half of her friends.

During one morning Sunset had a letter from Princess Celestia. Spike delivered it himself.

Sunset’s POV

I wake up to a knock on my door. Did Twilight come early because if she did this is WAY before her wake up time. I get up and freshen up because if it is Twilight I want to look good.

I come out of the bathroom a few minutes later now the knocking turns into a banging. This was not Twilight. I yell out to the door. “I’m coming, I’m coming! Give a mare a minute to get ready!” I can hear the voice behind the door.

“Well, by ready as in you’re going to see your wife then you’re sadly mistaken you’re mother wants to see you now, and I mean now!” Spike said as he knocked a lot more softly this time. “I have a letter from her Sunset so open the damn door so I can give it to you so I can go home and start my day off with Twilight screaming at the top of her lungs from something I’m pretty sure is both pleasurable and shameful.” This made me blush madly. I open the door and he gave me the letter and walked away back to the castle. I yell out to him.

“You know sometimes Spike you give out personal information that nopony should know!”

“Well she’s your Teacher I think you deserve to know what she’s doing.” I get slightly annoyed.

“I don’t want to know about THAT!” Spike continued to walk.

“Well too bad you know now!” I became furious at this point.

This argument seemed endless so I left it at that. I run to the train station and left for Canterlot. While on the train the read off the letter:

Dear Sunset Shimmer,

I would like you to meet me at my castle as soon as possible there is something I would like to tell you that can help you out.

Sincerely,

Mom

What did mom want to help me out with? She and I haven’t spoken since I left Canterlot a week ago. Could Twilight be sending my letters to Celestia? No, she wouldn't do that she values my privacy she will at least talk to me about it before she did something like that.

An hour later the train has come into a complete stop at the Canterlot train station. I can see that the sun isn’t even up yet so it’s around 5am. “Mom you better have a good reason to summon me at 5am. Some mares wake up at this time, I’m not one of those mares.”

With much annoyance I make my way to Celestia’s Castle. I see guards all around as usual so I just walk by them with no effort. “Morning Sunset Shimmer your mother is in the throne room.” I can hear one of the guards say.

“Thank you sir!” I yell back. I can find her myself you know. As I make my way to the throne room I look around through the moonlit morning. “Come on Aunt Luna, sometimes the moon is just too little to see with” I feel around to make my way to the throne room.

“Well maybe you should use your horn as a light source.” I turn around and see Princess Luna emerge from the shadows of the castle.

“Sorry Aunt, Luna I’m just trying to get to the throne room. Mom has requested me to show up.” Luna had a confused expression on her face.

“Yes she did request for you to come, it’s weird to me for her to request for you at such a short time. She also wanted me there. I’ll come along with you.” I nod to her but stump my front hoof on a small table.

“Ow! Damn darkness!”

Universal Character

Luna was slightly sadden by hearing this. “It’s not my fault entirely Sunset. Normally ponies will be still asleep still.” Sunset looked at Luna as they were walking with apologetic eyes.

“I know it’s not your fault Aunt Luna. It’s that I’m not used to waking up at this time.” Luna nodded off to Sunset.

Sunset and Luna stopped in front of the large wooden doors that lead to the throne room behind it. Sunset used her magic to push them open. It was well lit unlike the rest of the castle. Celestia was sitting on her throne waiting from them two. “Ah Sunset and Luna come forward close the door behind you please.” Celestia’s voice was very clear and mother-like. Both Luna and Sunset made their way to the throne itself. Celestia stepped down to greet them more face to face. “Luna I’m sure you know why you’re here?” She nodded.

“Sunset I’m sure you know why you’re here?”

“No idea. Care to fill in the blanks for me Mom?”

“Didn't Spike tell you?”

“No, he said and I quote: “Well, by ready as in you’re going to see your wife then you’re sadly mistaken you’re mother wants to see you now, and I mean now!”” Sunset states attempting to mimic Spike voice but fails horribly. Hearing this made Celestia uncomfortable. “That’s not all. He also said: “I have a letter from her Sunset so open the damn door so I can give it to you so I can go home and start my day off with Twilight screaming at the top of her lungs from something I’m pretty sure is both pleasurable and shameful.”” The Equestrian ruler then blushed and backed up a little. Even Luna seemed surprise.

“I think I know what Spike was talking ab-“

“Never discuss it!” Celestia yelled to Luna who shut her mouth immoderately. Celestia regained her composure. “Okay, Spike had no right to explain that to you.” Sunset shifted slightly.

“That’s what I told him but he said: “Well she’s your Teacher I think you deserve to know what she’s doing.””

“Well there’s limits to what you can know on what she does.” Celestia said.

“Agreed, now what is it mom it’s 5am and I’m really tired.” Sunset’s voice was filled with annoyance as this conversation was delaying the actual objective.

“Well, Sunset Shimmer I’m sure you and Twilight spend a lot of time together.” Sunset didn’t speak, Celestia took that as a yes. “Well some of your friends have informed me of your current situation with her.” Sunset wide-eyed the Equestrian Ruler. “I will not judge who you like and what you do Sunset that is why I’m going to help you.” This made Sunset speak out now.

“Mom, with all due respect getting advice to get a girl from your own mother is very awkward and uncomfortable.” Sunset is very truthful with every word. In fact this whole entire conversation to begin with was uncomfortable.

“Maybe so Sunset but I have some methods you can try. It seemed to work a lot by what Cadence explained to me.” Sunset was ready to hear this.

“Lay it on me.”

Celestia began. “Well for starters, you can try to be seductive. It seems to work with a lot of relationships nowadays.” Sunset never thought of that. “Next you can try to be more helpful to her even if she doesn’t need it. Twilight likes to be very independent but sometimes her actions can cause her more problems. Just nudge her into the right direction don’t be as forward with it.”

“So just hint it?”

“Exactly!”

“Okay seems easy enough.”

“Okay good, lastly I’m sure her friends have told you about her being a lot more isolated now that she’s a Princess?” Sunset nodded. “Then you will have to spend a lot of time with her to gain some info on her interests and hobbies. When you’re around her she’s very open minded so you don’t have to be completely forward.” Sunset stopped Celestia so she could speak.

“Well, since she and I spend a lot of time together she’s always been pretty much a close casket. She never really can or want to express her feelings.” This made Celestia think for a second.

“Well maybe Princess Luna can share some insight.” Luna stepped into the small huddle.

“Yes I can as I’m the Princess of the night I can visit dreams. I recently visited Twilight’s dreams wondering if there is any sort of solution to your dilemma.” Luna blushed madly which was very visible. “I saw things that I shouldn’t have seen and things that seemed more interesting.” Luan paused for a second. “She’s very detailed in her dreams but they all revolve around you Sunset Shimmer. She loves you but she is very distant about it.” This shocked Sunset. Celestia looked to her sister who couldn’t stop blushing.

“Luna you didn’t view a-“

“I don’t want to talk about it! There are things not even I can comprehend in dreams but hers. Hers is an entirely different subject.” Sunset knew what they were both talking about.

“Aunt Luna, it’s just a wet dream everyone gets them eventually.” This made Celestia and Luna stop talking.

“It’s quite uncommon here Sunset I’m sure in the Human World it’s often. But here is really quite rare. When one does appear I don’t pay attention to it.”

“Well anyways thanks for the help guys and mom I’ll try out on what you said. Maybe Hearts and Hooves Day won’t be so back.” Sunset went sprinting for the train station.

Celestia yelled out to her. “Good luck my little pony!”

Sunset’s POV

As I get on the train back to Ponyville I begin to backtrack on what mom said to me. ‘Be seductive, learn her interest, and spend more time with her.’ Maybe the advice Celestia gave me was quite helpful and wise. It was better than the advice that Rarity gave me yesterday. Well Twilight prepare to be wooed into my arms!
