A/N: i'm back. not dead out here in the middle of the woods. i have a new chapter for you. and i hope you love cliff hangers XP

The ceiling was white with a single fluorescent light in it. The bed was white a well. The unicorn was moved to a private room, by orders of Princess Luna. What confused the doctors most was why the princess took a special interest in this patient? She was down there every hour, waiting for hi to wake up. She even stayed when they said that he wouldn’t wake until the next to the night.

This was when he awoke at around midnight. He had a headache and was wondering what the hell happened. He looked around to for anypony, and found Luna. What? Why is she here? How long has she been here? Anthony thought, more confused than ever. He didn’t know what to do, but didn’t have to wait. Luna awoke and looked up. She saw him and smiled, confusing him even more.

“Hi, how are you doing?” Luna asked in a tired tone, like she had been there for hours and had not slept.

“Good, how long have you been here?” Anthony asked, feeling a flutter in his stomach that he had never felt before.

“Ever since you fell unconscious, and I have only left to use the bathroom. I hope your ok?” She finished with.

“What made me collapse?”

“The magic you used. I had never been done, so your body had to supple more magic than needed, just to make the spell official. But the spell alone might have done the same thing if you weren’t careful.” As she talked, she got closer and closer to the unicorn. When she stopped taking, their lips were only a breath away.

The door opened and in walked the doctor. Luna moved faster than the eye could record and was back on the side of the bed. The doctor had no idea what just happened.

“Ah, good, you’re up. We were starting to get worried. Just need to do some simple tests and then I will let your friends in.”

“I’ll be back to check on you when you are well. Good day, doctor. Good day, Anthony,” Luna said, with a stern speak, leaving in an official manner. This confused Anthony some, until her understood why. She doesn’t want anypony to know she likes me. Anthony thought.

Half-an-hour later

“Well, your good, but I would like for you to spend a little more time in here for observation,” the doctor advised.

“Thank you, but I always hate having to sit in a room for no reason. Thank you doctor, if I have any problems, I’ll be sure to come find you,” Anthony said, leaving the hospital and joining his friends.

“So you’re free to go?” Twilight asked. All of the elements were waiting in the waiting room, along with Celestia and Luna. Luna had her serious face on, but her eyes lied with a single look, but no pony would dare to look in them.

“Yep, but against doctor’s recommendation, I don’t care. I know I’m good. I know that all it had to do with is I used too much magic. I’ll live,” Anthony said, shrugging at the end. “Besides, I could have lost a leg and had left early anyway. I hate hospitals with a passion.”

“Wow, how do you do it?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I’m one tough S.O.B.” he said, confusing the other ponies. “You don’t want to know.”

“Ok, any way. What do you all want to do?” Twilight asked. Celestia looked as though she wanted to take a back seat in all this. Anthony wasn’t fazed by this. He had a pretty good idea why.

Tia, I told you. I don’t want to talk about it. Luna telepathically told Celestia. Being sisters and alicorns they had a bond stronger than any beings any where else.

Yes, and when you do, I think it would e nice if you included me on it. Your emotions aren’t hidden too well in your mind. I know what you’re feeling, and I want to help. Celestia tried to help, but kept being pushed back.

I don’t want your help. I need to figure this out on my own. I have it under control. Thank you, Tia, but I must do this.

Fine, but if you want someone to talk to, you will always have me.

Thank you, now lets follow Twilight, I think we’re going to the dining hall to eat. Luna told Celestia, ending their private conversation.

“I believe it would do me some good if I got some sleep. I still need to raise the sun in the morning. Good night all,” Celestia said, leaving the group with the princess of the night.

They all made their way to eat and enjoy a night of talking and thanks to Pinkie, Partying. They partied all night and into the early morning. Half way through the party, Luna asked to speak with Anthony privately. They walked out into the hallway and Luna put up a spell that would prevent anypony from seeing what they would be doing or talking about.

“Do you know why I wanted to talk?” Luna asked.

“Does it have something to do with what almost happened in the hospital?” Anthony guessed.

“Yes, it does. I have never met a pony like you. You don’t act like other ponies. And coming from the world makes you even more mysterious. I can’t help but want to be with you, even though I know you won’t live my whole,” Luna was now in tears. She was crying from opening herself up to somepony she had just met. Anthony walked up to the princess and gave her a hug. She hugged him back and cried into his black mane.

“Shh, it’s ok. It’ll be ok. I’m here, I’m here. Shh. I won’t leave. I’m not leaving. It’s ok. Luna, please stop crying. I promise to be with you for as long as I live. Just please stop crying,” he reassured her with this for quite a while, until Luna was out of tears. She still kept her head in his mane.

Anthony stroked her flowing mane the whole while, calming her down some. Luna finally left the embrace with puffy eyes, and a smile on her face. She then kissed him passionately on the lips and pulled him close to her. He kissed her back and they spent the next few minutes making out in the hallway.

They broke the kiss and looked into each others eyes and knew the truth about the bond they wished to share in the future. They shared another kiss before they left to return to the party. None of the ponies questioned the two.

After the party, the groups promised to return to Ponyville at noon and return the next week after Anthony had completely acclimated to the society of Equestria. All he cared about was seeing Luna again. This was what he was thinking when a ball of energy rammed into the chariot.
