If you came for the clop, it's in the previous chapter. If you came for the story, enjoy!

Never before had there been such a working stress in the three cities closest to the royal palace. The hard working ponies of Ponyville had been preparing all the food for the banquette, Cloudsdale had rescheduled a very nice weather consisting of nothing but sun with a slight trace of clouds, and finally, the Canterlot ponies had arranged all the catering service and planned the fest that would take place after the extraordinary ceremony of today.

But even though most ponies all over Equestria worked really hard for this day to be the most successive one of them all, the most heated process was obviously in the royal palace itself. Inside the main entrance, Celestia stood in the center of the large room only to have her attention taken away whenever her muzzle turned away from another pony. Dozens of temporarily hired organizers trotted past, bringing a slight disorder in the white mare's head if she focused too much on them.

“Yes. Uhm, no. That's supposed to be over there. Put that in the 'perhaps-pile'. Over here. In the kitchen. Oh my, no! Sure. Yes, yes. Ugh, I don't know to be honest. No. Oh, why....” she answered multiple times in every direction to all the ponies who came with their constant questions and demands for the upcoming ceremony.

A stressful work, were she was only allowed to stay on the same spot so everypony could find her. She did her best, and keeping a good mood in front of her subjects was no unusual task.... sadly, two hours straight with nothing but questions, guidelines, instructions and receiving highly subjective opinions about the wedding had given her a beating like never before. And just when another horde of rampaging wedding organizers and catering personal had molested her with their voices, she was seriously happy to be rid of them all.

But of course, once the room was a little less crowded and everything seemed to go her way... a couple of hooves walked carefully up to the busy alicorn's side. She had already noticed the gentle steps, but just for a second... she lost her temper as she turned her head around.

“What do you want?” she almost yelled to the pony, and it was a little too late once she realized her mistake. However, the pony didn't seem to mind at all, instead kept a happy grin once the royal attention had landed on her.

“Hiya, miss princess! I just wanted to give you this! It's for you!” the gray mare pegasus with a blonde mane stated as she extended a basket with a pink overlay to the princess from her right foreleg.

Shocked and quite frankly amused, the oddly addressed alicorn stared with wide eyes at the beautifully prepared basket for several seconds, long enough to blink a few times. Finally when her ears had registered the words 'It's for you', the white horn focused its magic on the basket's handle and levitated it to her. The pegasus grinned heartily and just waited for the princess to open the present, which soon was revealed when Celestia removed the pink overlay.

A basket filled with muffins. That's what she had been given by this innocent visitor who had made her way here just to personally hoof over the present. In an instant, joy and gratitude swelled up inside the princess heart, forcing her will to smile once she glanced on the kind soul in front of her. She didn't need to hear her name, she already knew thanks to the yellow, disoriented eyes.

“Thank you most kindly, miss Ditzy Doo” Celestia responded with her most satisfied expression outside the sexual way...

The gray pegasus unfolded her wings in exaltation and grinned even wider. “No! Thank YOU, miss princess for being so good and kind and great and awesome and..... uh...... uuh..... er, I don't know any other words, but... you are the best princess, miss princess!” she stated with exclamations everywhere while switching from confused to happy again.

The alicorn cocked her head in a most pleased display, smirking at the source of her nice change for once. “Are you coming to the wedding too, miss Ditzy?” she asked, hoping to get a positive response.

Sadly, the gray pegasus frowned a little, but tried to keep her smile intact. “Uh.... no. I don't have any date, and I don't wanna go alone. It's sad to go all alone to a wedding...” she explained and hung her head. This gesture of sadness didn't go unnoticed by the princess, however...

“And if I said that I could bring you a date that would more then love to meet you?” Celestia asked as she rubbed her chin, still smiling. “REALLY?! Is there a pony who wants to go with me, miss princess?” Ditzy yelled then asked in surprise. Her poor, naive mind couldn't interpret lies, and she would never even suspect that the princess she admired would do such a thing.

Of course she wouldn't. “Yes, miss Ditzy. Be here at the planned time before the ceremony and I will personally introduce you to him” the alicorn ended and levitated the basket behind her, she still had a long time left to just sit here and look silly, after all.

“Oh thank you, thank you, miss princess!! Thank you so much! I love you!” the blonde pegasus exclaimed and jumped up in the air to hug the bigger mare. Celestia didn't resist, thus allowed the quick embrace from her admirer. After a few seconds, the gray pegasus let go of the alicorn and unfolded her wings to fly out from the large room, so she turned around, then looked over her shoulder while aiming for the door “Buh bye, miss princess! I'll be here at...” she had time to say before the solid wall got in her way...

“.... I'm okay!” Celestia heard from a distance while grimacing like something almost hit her. She then shook her head, returning to one of the ponies who stood in line to talk with their highness. The first one had a long bill and a pen from the hotel she had sent Fleur and Blueblood to. Without even hesitating, she took the pen in her magic grasp and signed for another two days...

“It's.... astounding!” Luna exclaimed as her reflection gave an image of the fully dressed alicorn that was herself. In the royal bedroom, two other ponies sat next to each other with proud smiles as their snouts were above ears. “I'm... I mean, WE... are glad you liked it, your highness” the greenish, bluish gray stallion with his purple shades replied as he glanced on the mare in his own size with her own pink glasses next to him. The mare known as Photo Finish simply ignored it, concentrating on doing her part of the speaking.

“Myes, aftur our wurk, the tailurs had nu prablum at all und finished your fabulous dress in nu time!” she explained with a few gesticulations from her right fore hoof.... while using the left one to violently punch Hoity in the ribs, forcing him to muffle a gasp of pain. But when Luna turned around to look at the experts, they all kept smiling like nothing happened behind her back.

The princess pale dark blue dress had a relaxed ball gown, shaped to form several waves as it rested on her back down to the floor along her hindlegs. The top was just like she wanted it, a light blue corset, perfectly tight for her to feel it but still able to move freely. It had short forelegs and was decorated with a silver moon brooch over the rosette to release the strings over her chest. The finishing details were the glimmering decors on her gown, giving the effect of distant sparkling stars that matched her ethereal mane.

“You have certainly done a very impressive job. Nothing too grandiose, even though you both insisted on it...” she paused with a sly glance at the nervously chuckling earth ponies. “... I just don't want to outshine my Twilight Sparkle” she ended and turned to the mirror again.

Hoity wanted to take the word, but Photo was way more insistent. “Uf course, princess Luna. Your beluved will have an wunderbar dress tu, in fact... she's trying it un right now....” the fashion photographer stated as she adjusted her glasses. At that moment, the stallion next to her actually wanted to glare at his work partner, but instead he couldn't stop thinking about her eyes hiding behind those pink glasses.

Those thoughts brought him to a more bold move: opening his mouth. “Very well, your highness! It seems that you're pleased with your dress, so I presume that you want us out of your way now. After all, it's just a few hours from your fantastic moment!” he said while resisting to face Photo Finish as she glared at him.

“Glad that you are understanding, you two” the alicorn answered with a glad expression into the mirror. “Thanks again for the perfect work, Hoity Toity and Photo Finish... you will not to unrewarded for this” she ended and looked over her shoulder to send a wink in their direction.

The mentioned ponies nodded their heads and headed for the bedroom door, leaving the princess alone in her admiration to the reflection following her every move.

Once the ponies had exited the bedroom, they were completely alone since the guards who were supposed to be here had to attend the preparations for the ceremony. Thus, the mare carefully turned her head just to see the smiling stallion returning the look. Her hooves decided to take a single step towards Hoity, ending up standing just a hoof away. “Yes?” the earth pony stallion asked with his smile intact.

“You're the buld kind uf pony, aren't you, mister Hroity?” Photo asked in an annoyed tone.

“I guess that some mare contaminated me with it yesterday” he responded, keeping the cockiness with a seductive look as he took of his shades and placed them in his chest pocket..

The mare arched her eyebrows and suddenly pressed Hoity up to the door, pinning him to the hard material as she reduced their snouts distance into a mere inch. “I, Photo Finish, unly did that because you, mister Hroity es such a disgusting critic...” she whispered with her hot breath tickling the male's nostrils. However, he only felt sensuality from this moment. “Oh really? Am I... that... disgusting?” he responded, bringing his fore hooves to take of the pink shades decorating the pony in front of him.

“Myes...” Photo said even more silently before she leaned forward, meeting Hoity halfway with her tongue...

“Oh my, look who found each other in the end!” a sudden voice said in a happy exclamation. Both of the earth ponies jumped in fright and shot away from each other, giving the male pony the time to see who it was while the female one snatched back her glasses from her company's hoof.

It was Celestia, giggling as she walked past the blocking ponies to her door. “I've always wondered how long it would take... and I guess a hot moment during a hot day can give... unexpected connections” she ended with a wink from her eyelash.

Both ponies blushed heavily, and none of them found the ability to explain. However, they at least moved away from the big door, allowing the princess to open it with her magic.

But before she walked in through the open door, Celestia decided to do one last thing. Her smile developed into a grin and aimed at the busted couple still trying to understand what just happened. “And don't worry, miss Photo Finish.... pony stomachs can easily digest semen...” the alicorn finished and finally closed the wide door behind her.

The mentioned ponies widened their eyes at each other, suddenly getting an overdose of awkwardness...

- - - -
Celestia saw her sister, and at that moment she gasped in astonishment. “My goodness, Luna! You're...” she wanted to compliment from her heart until the dark blue alicorn cut her off with a flushed giggle. “Yes, yes... I know. But I still hope that Twilight won't be unnerved when she sees me” she sighed in the end.

“Now, Luna. You should know Twilight better then that...” the elder pony countered while walking up to stand next to her sitting sister in front of the large mirror. “But I know she's nervous because all of this! I can feel it! Ugh, sometimes I wish I wasn't a princess, sister...” the dark blue mare said before turning away to look at something else but herself or her mentioned sister.

Celestia recognized this behavior.... and the exact same words. “I know what you mean, my beloved Luna...” the majestic princess agreed and sat down with an empty expression on her face.

Then, the younger princess turned her head and saw it, that unmistakable look of indifference coming from her big sister. She had seen it once before... over one thousand years ago. “Sister... is it … him again?” she asked in a way to show concern. Celestia didn't answer, she just kept her emptiness and glanced down at the hard floor.

Luna frowned. “I thought you finally had forgotten him” she said and turned around to walk a step closer to her sister. Miraculously, the white mare answered. “I never will. Trixie just.... deafened the memories a bit.... but at the same time made sure they always will stay strong inside my immortal mind...” she replied and stood up on all four to walk past the dark blue pony.

And Luna had no intentions on stopping her, but talking was something she sure wouldn't hesitate to do. “Sister! There is so much difference between them! Besides, even I know that there is a complete difference at that time and now! Trixie would never abandon you like he did!” she exclaimed through each statement, sadly bringing a frustration to Celestia.

“He never abandoned me!” she yelled and glared back at Luna before some calmness returned to her. “... and yes, there certainly is a difference when it comes to time...”.

“He was no good for you!” Luna stated once again.

“I know...” Celestia agreed.

“He just played with you like a toy!”

“I know...”

“He only wanted your body, not your soul!”

“I... know...”

“He never actually cared for you, it was all a game from the beginning!”

“... I... k-know...”

“Your virginity was nothing for him!”

“I.... I...”

“And you realized that the day he finally le-”

“I BUCKING NOW!! SHUT UP!!!”

The ambiance had in an instance increased several degrees in heat between the princesses. Celestia tensed her eyelids with gritting teeth and grimaced like physical pain ached her to no end. But the true torture was mental, all the images came back again, flooding her mind with memories she always would live to tell about once Luna spoke those words.

“But I still.... loved... him” she finally cracked from her lips as a tear landed in front of her fore hooves.

Luna lost her words. She knew it would eventually come to this state, the emotions she had developed there was nothing but a first crush that had engulfed into an eternal bond of unexplainable love. And even if it would forever be one-sided... the chain would never break.

She sighed and calmed down too, leaving the hard words behind her dark blue back. “I know you did. And it's not your fault, sister. At that time he showed a completely different side, a true symbol who had found himself worthy of your attention...” she said and carefully began to walk towards her sister.

“But all that time he had only infected your emotions, used them for his own needs. And at your age, when you weren't a year older then our bearers of the elements... it was easy to let emotions give you trust”.

Celestia sniveled but didn't even think of drying the tear in her eye. She was so consumed by the anger and sorrow tainting her heart. “But Trixie is something different, my dear big sister. She showed her bad side already from the beginning, then she slowly began to show her true colors: a sweet filly who had fallen for the same hopeless infatuation you once had in growth. Difference was that you succeeded to changer her mind, redirecting her love to yourself.”

The mares sat next to each other again, only that the slightly smaller one did her best to smile even though to the frown on her forehead.

“And I know that since the day you finally couldn't find your way back to the unanswered love, you desperately tried to show that you didn't need him either, thus did so by finding anypony you knew of to forget him through physical pleasure.”

Celestia looked down at her sister. She could now even see that Luna nuzzled her white shoulder, intending to give comfort while talking.

“And yes, it reduced the pain... but never actually quenched it. You kept searching, grasping onto the last hope that you one day would find somepony else to bless them with your emotions. But the void in your heart grew wider and deeper, preventing you to feel anything but sex for anypony you tested”.

The white mare kept staring at her sister, locked in the speech she didn't thought she'd hear the end of.

“But then.... one fateful day you found a pony who rejected you cold bloodily, showed extreme loathe and rejection no matter what you did to seduce her. She resisted, made you fight for her emotions. And when you finally realized what the price would be to finally gain her acceptance... you had unknowingly entered a contract between two ponies”.

In the end, Luna gently placed her fore hooves on Celestia's cheeks, smiling from the depths she hardly knew were in her heart.

“You had fallen in love, big sister!” You sacrificed everything just for Trixie's sake, nothing was holy for you once it was about her, your hunt had bloomed into something you always wanted to feel again! You... you did all those things just like you did to him.... and smiled. And when I saw you smile like that.... I was so... so proud of you... s-so.... proud to call you m-my... big... sister”.

The moment was throbbing with emotions, and Luna couldn't hold back what she actually felt anymore. It felt so good to finally had said that, revealing her true thoughts about all of this. That was the reason for why her own tears began to swell, tracing down her smiling lips.

Celestia's tears had since long dried out, but her attention was like newborn to her sister's speech. She saw a crying Luna holding on to her cheeks, not regretting a word she just said all for the sake of helping her sister in a time of need. Once the truth had filled her head with its message, the white alicorn raised her forelegs to carefully embrace her loveable baby sister. Luna responded, wrapping her dark blue forelegs around the white waist and sobbing her emotions on the equally colored shoulder.

She didn't know what to say.... except that one thing. Her mist was cleared now, so what stopped her anyways from saying it?

“I love you... Luna. My most precious pony.... I'm proud to call you... my little sister” she stated and buried her muzzle in the dark blue shoulder, feeling the smaller pony's sobbing for each moment as the fine voice uttered her erupting cries.

Celestia knew, there was no reason to dwell in the past. Love comes and love goes... but your family is always there.

And not even the memories of a young draconeequs who one day sought out a young white alicorn only for the sake of gaining godlike powers... could remove the bonds of family...

The moment. The aura. The altar. The long, red carpet leading to it. The excitement. All the decorations. The awaiting friends. All the other hundreds of ponies standing in an enormous crowd. The biggest room of Canterlot palace. And finally the pony already standing at the altar: the princess of night, Luna.

All the ponies who had participated in the previous day were of course present, but today with all the other known faces from all the cities around Equestria. Mayors and celebrities had all crossed the land just to be here today and witness the most amazing event in pony history. But in the front row, closest to the beautifully prepared altar stood the ponies known as Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.... and of course a baby dragon known as Spike. They were all dressed in gala dressed and costumes just like many other ponies had done just for this occasion.

Most eyes shifted between Luna and the very tall door where the other pony in mind would come out from. The princess had been waiting for a few minutes now, growing more and more anxious for every second passing by.

However, she had no idea that the two ponies standing behind the five friends of Twilight... were actually her parents. The mother had prepared several tissues levitating next to her, while the father was patting her shoulder. They had both been locked in mental comas when they received the invitation to their daughter's wedding, hardly able to accept the truth about their little talented baby unicorn: getting married with princess Luna? First they had actually thought it was a little joke, but knowing Twilight Sparkle better then anypony else, they were also the ponies who had the easiest time understanding it...

Then! The massive orchestra hit the first notes of the well-known wedding march. Luna's heart skipped a beat as her eyes widened. A heavy panting erupted from her lungs, strangling every last living piece from her fire of life. She soon looked over her shoulder to see, together with the giant audience doing exactly the same.

The tall door creaked open, revealing an azure unicorn with several baskets of flower petals levitating next to her. The smile on her lips fitted for once the blue cape on her back, even though the hat was still missing. All the ponies held their breath, awaiting for the light blue unicorn to start walking.

Once she did, each step brought a bunch of petals from each respective basket, covering the red carpet with purple, pink and indigo colored flowers. And finally, to the crowd's big rejoice, a lavender unicorn with a bouquet of roses levitating next to her took her first step on the carpet, revealing her stunning beauty enhanced by the dress she carried.

The thin clothes of white rested gently over Twilight's back, leaving a long tail of the gown dragged behind her walking hooves. The chest were shiny pieces of fabric with beautiful waves reaching down to her fore knees. For once, she even had shoes made out of crystal glass to walk in. Her face was covered by the white bridal veil... but what ponies paid attention to the most was the dark blue lotus in her mane, right next to the right ear.

Luna dropped her jaw, the friends lost their breathes, all the other ponies in the crowd didn't blink, and Twilight's father just realized in shock that his wife had fainted...

As the bride kept walking, a majestic mare followed close behind, dressed in her natural white coat, but with a pure personality and a mind outmatching everypony else. But as it was meant to be, none of the ponies dropped their eyes from the stunning unicorn walking ever so gracefully towards the altar of promises.

However, Celestia noticed with a little flash the gray pegaus with her blonde mane, standing right next to a brown earth pony with a chocolate colored mane and a time glass cutie mark. Both waved a fore hoof to the princess with the cross-eyed mare being the most frenetic one due to the extreme happiness filling her mind. The princess nodded at their direction with her own rejoice, glad that yet another perfect pair had been brought together...

In the end, Twilight was just a few hooves away from the two steps of stair she'd be forced to walk up to in order to reach her promised alicorn. Luna, however, felt a sudden change in the hierarchy when beholding her love now. There was a whole new world of difference, with herself being a submissive peasant and Twilight being a living goddess. And once the music slowly faded away, the little unicorn had walked the final steps and stood now in front of the altar. It was not until that moment when the dark blue alicorn in her matching dress turned her head straight forward, doing her best to keep the calm face. The last thing she saw was the beautiful assortment of flowers still levitating behind Twilight.

Trixie stacked the empty baskets and put them aside, quickly relocating herself next to the dressed fillies watching their friend getting married. They didn't pay any attention to her, and if they would have, the thoughts would vary.

Everything set to go, princess Celestia walked past the two ponies and stood in front of them, acting as the one and only pony who would engage and pronounce them. After the quick glance on both ponies, the majestic ruler of Equestria cleared her throat.

“Ponies of Equestria! We're all gathered here today for an historical event of unconditional love...”.

As the princess spoke, several numbers of ponies fought valiantly to hold back the tears of joy for this moment to happen. Six of them were Twilight's friends and her number one assistant, all sniveling except for Fluttershy who already had to constantly dry her eyes with a number of tissues. The two other pones were Twilight's parents, especially her mother who just had awakened after passing out from the sight of her beautiful daughter.

Luna fought the glance wishing to land on her little bride again, but the thought had to meet some great resistance in order to be tamed. And before she knew it, Celestia had already talked for several minutes, now finally reaching the final and most important words.

“... so Luna: do you take this young unicorn as your wife, inviting her to the life among royals?” she asked with a smile towards the other dressed alicorn.

Luna knew those words would come, but never would she have imagined that the question would be so hard to answer even though it was the strongest 'yes' she knew of. But this.... this very moment. If she said yes now, Twilight would only have to do the same.... and then transcend into immortality to live by Luna's side.... forever.

When the moment was just an inch from getting awkward, the dark blue princess sighed in her own personal joy. “I do...”.

Celestia expected nothing else, thus turned her smile to the other pony. “Twilight Sparkle: do you take this alicorn as your wife, accepting her invitation to the life among royals?”.

Silence filled the room. Nopony dared breathe or even blink, all hearts raised in rhythm, the atmosphere became like a giant rock, and Luna was soon freaking out from nervousness.

Twilight almost seemed to think about it, staying in the silence in what seemed to be forever. She had already been quiet for longer then Luna previously was. “Twilight, what in my sister's name are you doing, she thought as her teeth began to grit hard again. A fear of a sudden and unexplained rejection convinced Luna that it soon would become reality.

The lavender filly giggled. “I do...”.

All the ponies in the room breathed out, some of them ending up in a tensed squeal of excitement. And at that moment, Twilight's mother was laying on the floor again after a heavily ignored thud.

Luna thought for a moment that her heart would explode there as she finally calmed down again. Even Celestia had broken a sweat during that moment, unaware of where her suspicions came from.

What they didn't know was that the unicorn was locked in the exact same thought like Luna was. She just needed more time to picture the thought of 'eternal happiness and love' and accept the truth that it actually was happening for real to her endless joy.

With another clear to her throat, Celestia looked at the only dragon in the room. “Then please exchange your bracelets...” she stated as Spike brought up two small boxes from his back. While the two ponies now could turn around to look at each other, Spike's little legs worked to walk up to the altar, presenting the two wide-open boxes.

Luna smiled as she saw Twilight's, the golden bracelet with the silver moon on it. And Twilight smiled when she saw Luna's, the also golden bracelet but with a ruby star on it instead.

Two sources of magic entered the air. A lavender shroud and a blue one picked them up, both levitating next to each pony these would involve. Spike wanted to say something, but knowing that whatever was on his mind wasn't important for them right now, he quickly jogged back to his spot.

In the next moment, Twilight and Luna held up their right forelegs, waiting patiently while the two bracelets floated to each leg. The silver moon clicked around Twilight's, while the ruby star clicked around Luna's.

Once the legs were properly standing on the floor again, Celestia closed her eyes as the last sentence was about to be spoken by her mouth.

“By the power of the ruling empress of Equestria, I now pronounce you wife... and wife” she said before opening her eyes and turning them to Luna. “You may kiss the bride...”.

The dark blue alicorn gulped, hardly knowing what the hay she expected to see once the veil would be removed. But as her decorated foreleg extended to remove the obstacle, Luna could now behold the lavender muzzle, the violet eyes, and last but not least.... the incredibly cute blush on her cheeks.

Luna wanted to speak, but the young unicorn's overwhelming beauty in this bride dress had stolen all her words. Like magic had killed her ability to talk, Luna just leaned forward with her smiling lips. In the same second, Twilight did the same.

The hinders had been many, the odds low, and most important of all: the chance of this even to happen was beyond many ponies understanding today. But nopony rejected the idea. Not a single soul in the giant room kept their silence once the cheering was brought out from seeing Twilight Sparkle the unicorn and Luna the alicorn kiss each other in front of the most sacred altar this world knew of. Hooves hit the floor, whistles flew through the air, tears were shed and most of all joy exploded. The praises were many and the promises even more. But one last task was supposed to be made...

When the two newly married ponies finally released their kiss, Twilight turned around and grabbed the levitating bouquet of flowers in her fore hooves, cracked her most sinister smile while the crowd still roared in excitement.

Then, with all her physical might, Twilight tossed the bouquet straight at the unprepared Trixie, chucking the mess of flowers all over the azure face. The princess laughed, Twilight laughed, even the five friends let go of their giggles as they saw the frustrated filly cleaning her face from all the petals.

Bells rang, clinging out the message of joy and celebration. Giving Celestia the perfect moment to perform her last duty in this wedding. After focusing her horn with the spell, both Twilight and Luna looked at the white mare as she charged the rarely cast spell. The light intensified more and more, finally releasing a powerful beam straight at the purple horn.

Twilight felt that something happened to her body, and when she opened her eyes to behold the lavender wings on her back, the present crowd of ponies all stomped their hooves on the floor together, cheering even louder as history now could record the story of not two... but THREE alicorns on the royal thrones.

But the newly transformed filly didn't care even the slightest, she just wanted to be in her wife's grasp now. Since Luna's wanted the same, both alicorns threw into each others forelegs, uniting in another kiss to prolong the moment.

And from that day forward.... Equestria had learned that no matter who you are, what sex you belong to, what rank you carry.... it doesn't matter.... in the world of love.

Epilogue...

Meanwhile during the big banquette that had lasted until sundown and deep into the night, Phalanx, captain of the royal guards sat alone outside in the royal garden of Canterlot palace. He listened to the crickets playing their song, enjoying the cool breeze flying though his loose, black mane. Today, he had certainly preferred to not wear his armor.

“S-sir?” a male voice called out from his side. The captain turned his head to see a pony he didn't expect to see for a while actually. “Greetings, Side Arms. We're off duty now so you don't have to see me as your captain” he responded as the other white stallion with his grayish mane walked closer on the soft grass.

“Yeah, sorry..... so you're out here and enjoying the night?” the slightly smaller male asked as he sat down next to his comrade. “Yes, these last couple of months have been really..... odd, so to say. Now we have three princesses to serve, and it's just a question of time before they are four. And all females too...” he answered and sighed. “Sometimes I wonder where Equestria is heading for”.

Side Arms smirked with a snort. “It's kind of weird. Filly-fooling has become so common that even royalties are open with it. It's almost like... we're walking into a new era, don't you think?” he asked again to further the conversation with a smirk.

Phalanx just nodded in his oblivious expression, then he just realized something. “By the way... what happened to your nervous stutter?” he asked and turned to look at his subordinate.

The other stallion glanced away for a second when he saw the captain's eyes on him, seeming to be embarrassed. “Uhm.... well I'm not sure. It happened shortly after.... you know” he explained and rolled his eyes.

Phalanx lost his breath for a moment, suddenly remembering another thing he had planned on doing. “Oh yeah. About that.... I hope you understand that it.... uhm... was all just for princess Luna's entertainment, I... I swear by my guard's honor that it was... all...” he tried to describe as the other stallion interrupted. “I know.... I know. It's just that the reason for why I came out here was because I wanted to ask you something” Side Arms stated with a blush while looking straight at the more muscular stallion.

“Uh.... Sure, ask away!” he answered with a hint of a blush. It finally became visible on his cheeks once Side Arms fore hoof suddenly touched his own.

“Would you... wanna... er, do it... a-again...?” he asked before biting his lower lip, descending into embarrassment.

Phalanx couldn't hold himself anymore. The affection took over his masculine mind, dissolving it into what he actually wanted. Only a shred of hesitation stood in his way, and that shred was just his hidden shyness. In the next moment, he grabbed Side Arms other foreleg and gently pressed him to the soft grass before looking into his smiling light blue eyes. The moment caught, their forelegs embraced each other... and their muzzles leaned forward.

The night crept further into its age, leaving a Canterlot filled with emotions behind in its wake. For the possibly predictable future, the moment lived one, continuing its travel.....

…. forever after.
