I entered the dream world and looked up at the not-stars, surrounded by the silvery shimmering portals of all the ponies' dreams.

Taking a slow breath, I shook my head and applied a bit of will and magic before tapping my hoof. The portals flew around before a single silvery one with a hint of blue of calm dreams came to a stop before me.

Luna’s.

I watched it for a moment before I took a deep breath and stepped through into a room I had only seen once before and in much worse condition than now.

It was her room in the tower at the Castle of the Two Sisters. It actually took a second before I recognized it, it looked so different. The wall was intact and covered with thick drapes, as was much of the walls not having a window or bookshelf on them.

The bed wasn’t rotten, instead it was covered in soft sheets occupied by a certain alicorn.

Luna smiled as she looked up from her book. “My Page,” she said and closed the book, putting it on the bed as she raised her wings.

“…My Sky,” I answered with a smile in return as I slowly moved closer as I watched her. She looked different. She was smaller, more Cadence's size than her normal one. Her mane was a pale blue and still instead of its normal flowing star field. “You look different. Was this how you looked when you lived here?”

She shook her head and scooted to the side, giving me room to jump up next to her. “No… by this time I had already been using my mane to release excess magic for a long time. I was just feeling a bit nostalgic.”

Nodding I settled down next to her, putting my wing over her back as I gave her a quick nuzzle before I eyed her. “Luna?”

“Hmm?” she asked with a smile.

“We should talk.”

“Of what?”

I shook my head and looked at her. “Luna, was I on a date with Twilight?”

“I don’t know, were you?” she asked with a smile.

“Luna!”

Luna gave my ear a small nuzzle, sliding her wing across my back and pulling me close. “Page, relax.”

Sighing, I leaned against her.

“And if it was, My Page?” she finally asked. “How do you feel about that?”

I looked at her. “…Not sure. How do you?”

That got a smile from her. “I like Twilight,” she answered before she sighed and rested her head against the top of mine. “…And she is an alicorn, which is good. I never want you to experience watching your love wither and die from the winds of time.”

Rolling over onto my back I frowned up at her. “What happened to ‘being selfish’?”

“These,” she answered and touched my wing. “These happened.”

“What do you mean?”

Luna smiled and settled down with her head against my chest. “I won’t lose you to time,” she murmured. “I had... I had barely sixty, maybe eighty years. I wanted every single one.”

“Oh.”

I put my forelegs around her, pulling her tighter.

“Now…” she continued and shifted to look down into my eyes. “It’s different. We have a long time,” she pointed out before she frowned and poked my chest. “Assuming you don’t do something idiotic like fighting Tirek ever again!”

I cringed at that and then nodded. “Will try to.”

She settled down again and sighed. “Good. Not sure if you have realized what it means yet, My Page.”

“Like what?” I asked, stroking her mane. It felt different than normal, less… thick gas like and more like silky soft hair.

Luna shifted slightly and raised her wings. “I’m not sure if you are like me or my sister. Celestia falls in love easily and quickly. I… what you and I have, I have had twice in my life before. I have had many lovers, but something like this… just twice in thousands of years. For me this is rare.”

I just nodded. She told me this when we first got together. “I know.”

“Do you?” she asked and raised her head to look down into my eyes. “Do you realize what it means?”

Pausing at that for a moment to think, I finally shook my head. “Not following.”

Luna rolled her eyes. “You are usually pretty bright, but sometimes you are such a stallion,” she snarked before she sighed. “Page, Love is rare. If you find it, I want you to take it and hang on to it as tightly as you can.”

I just frowned up at her.

She shook her head and bumped her nose against mine. “Page… we have thousands of years. I love you, but thousands upon thousands of years is a long, long time, even for us. You… we… we will both find other ponies to love in time.”

“Oh,” I said with a frown. I… I guess that made sense. I wasn’t sure how to feel about it, but it made a certain degree of sense intellectually. It felt very strange though.

The idea of someone else with My Luna was not one I liked. Like, at all.

“Eeep!” I suddenly blinked and flicked my ear as Luna let go of it.

“Stop that,” she commanded and then settled down again. “Page, it's not like any of this is rare or even uncommon among common ponies. I know you know this!”

“…I blame my human upbringing,” I sighed and pulled her close and away from biting distance of my ear. “It’s difficult to adapt to.”

Luna nodded and settled down with her head against my chest. “I know.”

I held her for a long moment before I sighed and nuzzled at her ear. “I know I’m being stupid, I can’t promise I will like it… but I do understand what you mean and I just have to adapt.”

Lifting her head, Luna bumped her nose against mine. “I love you. No matter anything else, I always will.”

I couldn’t help but smile and pull her tight again for a quick kiss before I whispered. “I love you too, My Sky.”

She cuddled close and we just relaxed like that for a long moment, each of us caught up in our own thoughts before I finally frowned as a thought struck me. “Luna?”

“Hmm?” she asked lazily without moving or opening her eyes.

“…I still have no idea if Twilight thinks it was a date.”

That caused her to break down into giggles.
