Author's Notes:

Feels ahead. YE BE WARNED.

"Go Luna, I do not wish to speak of what happened," Celestia said as I entered her room. The room was huge; big enough to fit two large semis side-by-side and have enough room left over to fit a motorcycle on each side. For all its size, there was barely anything in it aside from a big four poster bed that would fit her and Luna easily, a wardrobe, and a bedside table with a lamp on it. There were two closed doors opposite of the bed and one directly across from the door to the hall that led out to a balcony. Not really showing Celly some love, are they?

She was standing on her balcony. How to explain this to her.... I walked over behind her and stood there in the doorway.

"I said I didn't want to talk about it," Celestia said as she turned around. Her eyes widened as her blush that had started to fade came back and her ears folded back. "Leave my rooms at once! I have forgiven you for what you had done, but I shall visit my-"

I pressed my lips to hers and wrapped my arms around her neck as she tried to pull back. She resisted for a moment or two more and then returned the kiss, pushing into my mouth with her tongue. We sat there kissing for who-cares-how-long before separating. When had she started crying?

"W-why? I turned you to stone and have done nothing but insult you."

I gave her a peck on the nose. "Why do I need a reason to be kind to a beautiful mare like you?" I gave her a sad smile. "You didn't see how Luna was after she had to banish you...."

Celestia wiped an eye and sniffled, "She said she had cried for years after."

I shook my head saying, "She yelled and screamed at me for hours every day for the first few weeks and then tried to.... I had to promise her that once I got out I'd try to mend things between us to get her to put down that cursed knife."

Celestia burst out in sobbs, trying to say something. In the end she threw her hooves around me and enveloped me in her wings. I stayed there, talking softly and trying to comfort her. Two or three hours later, she released me saying, "I-I had no idea how much love she had for me...."

I gave a small smile, "She won't be the only one if you'll let me."

Celestia gave me a hopeful look and leaned forwards stopping when her lips brushed mine. ".... Why-.... How do you love me already?"

I pulled back some, a frown making its way onto my mouth. "I don't." Before she could say anything I continued, "Not yet, but.... If you're willing to see where this can go, I'll make every effort to make it worthwhile."

She smiles and I lean forward meeting her lips once again. I'm the one to beak the kiss, this time with a smile. "Oh yeah, almost forgot. Luna didn't want to go through the trouble of getting a room ready for me so I'll be sharing with you!"

Celestia's cheeks turned red once more. "The one time she gets even a little devious...."

I give her horn a kiss near the base and feel her shudder in pleasure. "Nothing wrong with that." I let out a yawn. "Sorry, I've been staying awake at night to have some company to keep me from going insane."

"I'll let you sleep then," she said as she stood up, giving me one last long kiss before heading to the door. She giggled, "Make sure you don't use all the shampoo when you wake up."

"I'll use less than a bottle," I promise as I stepped over to Celestia's bed. Once the door closed I gave a sigh of relief. "Man, what a day," I said as I flopped onto the bed.

I know that happened but I still can't believe it did. She actually likes me now.... I smiled then bit my lip in uncertainty. And then there's Kat. Was she playing around when she offered that? There wasn't any sign of malice or scorn when she said that.... That I could see. I sighed and rolled onto my back, covering my eyes with an arm. So much happening so fast. Even if I tried rewinding I doubt I'd get used to it. Heh, here I am feeling like I've been pushed into the deep end like Max in the game.... I felt tears welling in my eyes and sat up, flinging my arm down hard enough to bring a thump from the bed. No. I'm not going to waste even a second feeling sorry for myself! That life is over and done. I lay back down and let sleep take me.

"If that's not for me, may you get me some?" I asked a maid as she carried a tray of food into the room. I had awoken to the smell of pancakes smothered in butter and maple syrup, eggs, hashbrowns, toast, and -- surprisingly -- bacon a few seconds before the door was opened.

I rubbed sleep from my eyes as she cantered over to the bed. "Yes, this is for you. Princess Luna said you might be tired after last day.," she said.

"Get back to me on that after I fully wake up," I said as I lowered my hands and took my first clear look at the maid. She was a fire red unicorn with a yellow and orange curly mane. Her cutie mark was of a fireplace with a merry little blaze in it. She was dressed in a classic black maid's outfit.

The mare giggled, "I hear ya; Waking up after having a fun day between the blankets is hard." She set the tray down on the bed. "I'll be outside the door if you need anything."

"Hey, photo girl! Wanna help me and my friends explore some dark underground ruins?" I hear from all around me as I start to dig in.... Was that someone summoning me? How do I accept it? Maybe I say something back?

I looked down at my breakfast and sighed. Looks like I won't be able to eat this. Standing up I saw something shining up from below me. Looking down I saw a portal that looked like a butterfly opening its wings -- if its wings were made of the fabric of space. I barely had enough time to think, Um.... this is not good, before I finally fell in.
