"So...." I put my hands together. "You got your ass kicked, that's what you're saying?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Celestia, I thought you could like...burn up the world in one angry fit if you wanted to."

Celestia scratched the floor with her hoof. "Okay...so maybe I wasn't all that awake that day, and maybe I didn't try enough, but I didn't get my ass kicked."

I spun around in my chair to face her. I took a breath and looked her up and down. "Heard some ponies died that day...."

Celestia nodded slowly. "The guard wasn't ready and I was incapacitated."

I grunted and turned back around. "I guess. You say that like its something bad." I ran my hand over my desk, the pits and cuts could be felt in each pass of my fingertips. "I mean, I know its bad. But if you did everything you could have...you...." I spun around. Celestia hadn't said a word. "You didn't did you?"

Celestia's frown stayed level. "It was a test for my student--"

I put my finger up. "At the cost of thirty lives?"

Celestia's frown leveled out lower than before. "That was a failing of the guard, not m--"

"Celestia...." I crossed my legs and stared at her. "...Either way, I don't think dwelling on it is going to do much." I spun back around to face forward. "I don't--"

Celestia walked up behind me. "Able, do you know anything about Equestrian religion?"

I rubbed my throat and turned to face her. "Not really. Generally consider myself a methodist myself."

Celestia let out a short huff. "Able...am I a bad pony?" He voice carried a deep concern away with her words. "Be honest."

"No--"

"You're lying." Celestia spun me around and looked me up and down. "Able, am I a bad pony?"

I stared her dead in her eyes. I watched as they grew glassier. "Do you do what you do out of neglect? Hate? Do you like hurting others?"

Celestia shook her head. "I don't mean--"

"Neglect can be criminal, but is it amoral, is it the nature of something evil to understand that some things need to happen for a greater good? At what point does the loss out weight the greater good?" I held my hands out. "Celestia...I've thought about this every day since Halifax. I think about what I could have done differently to save them. I think about the ways I could have done certain things or just left. Then I think about Quebec, Montreal, I think about the people I picked off the street and forced into the army." I rubbed my arm. "I think, god must hate me after all this. Then I look at now." I crossed my hands over my lap. "I have you, I have peace, I have something worth fighting for and I have someone to talk with that I never would have imagined." I rubbed my throat. "Celestia...I love you, but you're so fucking stupid some times."

Celestia sat down and shook her head. "Thank you Able...you always--"

"If god hated you. If you were a bad pony, a bad person, you'd be dead." I pointed to my chest. "If either of us was rotten at the core, if we hadn't done what we did out of the caring for others, we wouldn't have survived this long." I held my hand flat against my chest. "Celestia...if you were a bad pony, you wouldn't have a family that loved you, you wouldn't have a kingdom that looked to you with such reverence that statues are erected in your name by the ponies you raised." I stood up and walked over to Celestia. I put my arm around her neck and walked her to the window. "Those statues out there...they're not out of fear, and no one was forced to make them." I dug my fingers into her neck and scratched slightly. "Besides...I wouldn't be right here, right now, if I thought you were a bad person--pony." I kissed the side of her head. "I think you're human.... I mean, I think you make mistakes, and I think you feel empathy and regret when you do."

Celestia sighed and pushed against my head. "I suppose--"

I hugged her close and looked down as a few ponies wandered around the gardens. "I think its not so much our actions as our intent. I'm not condoning recklessness...but its a good world that fights each other over benevolent ideas." I took a deep breath and held her against my cheek. "Then again, I like telling myself its intentions. I don't know. For all I know when I die I might go straight to hell where I fucking belong--"

I felt something press against my cheek. "Don't say that. Unless you plan to meet me there, don't say that."

I turned to face her. "I don't think a god in existence could send you to any sort of punishment."

Celestia stared at me, unblinking even as a tear dripped down and off her muzzle. "Thank you Able." She pulled away from me and turned around. "...Not many ponies would tell me that. Most ponies wouldn't even think I'd need to hear it--"

I put my hands in my pocket. "Yeah, well you're a pussy...." I walked up beside her and ran my hand over her back. "...Sometimes you need someone to remind you of the simple things.... Even if they seem obvious."

Celestia nodded and took a deep breath. "Able...."

I stood by her side. "Yeah?"

Celestia didn't even flinch at the start or during. "I'm going to tie you down and fuck you until you die...."

I stared at her. "Whoa...kay...." I scratched my head. "...Uhhh--"

Celestia nodded with a stern look on her face. "I mean, probably won't actually kill you, but you'll probably be pretty out of it."

I cocked my head. "Is that a threat or...what are we talking about here?"

Celestia turned to face me. "No, not a threat. Remember, sometimes ponies need to be reminded of certain things?"

I rubbed my chest. "Uh.... Should I be worried?"

Celestia shook her head slowly. "No.... I'm going to tie you down, put a ball gag in your mouth, and nip and lick at you until you cum. From there I don't really know, but I thought I'd just give you a heads up."

I ran my hand across my throat. "Uh huh.... What brought--"

Celestia turned away. "Because you know what to say to make me want to ruin you, and make you moan until your voice is hoarse." She cleared her throat. "...I'm really just giving you a heads up at this point."

I scratched my head. "Philosophical arguments on the subject of morality and mortality get you hot?"

Celestia turned around and shook her head. Her usual more relaxed tone started to come back. "Oh no.... Somepony rubbing my side and saying they'll protect me does though."

I nodded slowly. "Hmm.... I don't think I ever said I was going to protect--"

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Ponies holding me close while telling me, assuring me, and being there for me when I'm worried...gets me hot."

I swallowed hard again. "Sure.... You--"

"Yes."

"Ah...." I walked over and sat back down. "So...was the morality talk part of this or--"

"No." Celestia shook her head. "Sometimes I really just need to hear somepony elses perspective on things...." She smiled at me, a warm, secretly evil smile. "Gives me warm fuzzies and makes me all calm."

I nodded. "Hmm, alright. Past few days feeling a little warm?"

Celestia laughed loudly. "Oh, you're noticing finally?"

I rubbed my face. "I knew...I just didn't want to say anything."

Celestia smiled and nodded. "Oh no, I really am going to tie you down and just make you cum in the most delicate way. I'm going to stop and let it go off on its own so you have to pant and moan hanging helplessly as your cum dribbles unsatisfyingly away, building up that pent up feeling until I finally decide--"

"Fucking Christ! Stop it!" I crossed my arms and hugged myself. "Jesus! Why!?"

Celestia flicked her tail. "Well...do something about it!" Celestia popped her tail up. "You're the stud!"

I rubbed my face. "Yeah...well.... It's still bullshit!" I held my face in my hands. "I'm a man, not some whore--"

Celestia nodded. "No. I don't share my bed partners."

"Go fuck yourself!" I pointed to the door of my office. "Seriously, go, fuck, yourself! Go buy a dildo and work it out!"

Celestia nodded. "Oh I plan to. With you hung up beside me like a little doll--"

"Fucking--"

Celestia started laughing. "At this point I'm just going to do it to make you angry." She let out a soft huff and looked me in the eyes. "Able...."

"What?!"

"Thank you."

I nodded. "Sure.... But you didn't really have to ask. You know what I'm going to say about you being a bad person."

She nodded slowly. "I know...and it makes me feel better hearing you, Luna, it makes me feel better hearing it said." She smiled wide. "Oh...and Able...."

"What?" I groaned angrily.

"I really am going to make you watch as I bite you to cumming." She flicked her tail at me. "I'm going to lick and tease until you start to cum, then let off and watch as your body follows through without any stimulation--"

"That's fucking evil!" I slammed my desk. "I fucking take it back! I fucking-- fuck you! You are a bad pony!"

Celestia leaned her head up. "Mmm I know.... I'll bring a paddle--"

"Fucking Ahh!" I threw my hands up. "This is bullshit! I'm not-- Fucking-- Fuck heat!" I looked through my guard files. Somehow sex started to become a bit worrying when I found a female with a high libido. "God damn...."

"I'm serious you know--"

I turned around to face her. "I fucking know! And its terrifying watching a full sized horse threaten my dick!" I crossed my legs. "God damn you're manly sometimes...." I made a heroic pose. "I'm Celestia and I'm gonna fuck you with my magical wonder vagina! Fucking god damn...."

Celestia smiled wickedly. "You haven't sworn this much in some times.... I'm starting to think you're nervous."

"Can you leave?" I pointed to the door. "Seriously! You keep coming in here while I'm trying to work!"

Celestia nodded. "Fine."

I spun around to face my files. "Three days of this shit...seriously emotional problems don't even--Mphhgh!?" My world went black as something enveloped my head.
