(Emmit’s POV)

I was sleeping so soundly. Was being the operative word because my sleep was suddenly interrupted by “TIA.” Not only that, but my body was suddenly tossed from the bed toward Luna’s bedroom door with a rather hard and resounding…

THUD.

“OW.” Curling up on the floor was a pretty good option right now with all the pain running through me.

“Yes, sister?” Celestia’s sweet voice suddenly appearing from in front of me.

“You do realize that this means war,” Luna smirked at her sister with me crawling toward them, still in pain mind you, and whispering, “man down.”

Celestia, my new friend, just hummed pleasantly as I crawled past her saying, “But please girls keep me out of it.”

Both looked down at me, but it was Celestia who simply smiled and leaned down, “Did Emmit get a bump?”

After finally able to stand up my back popped when I stretched out, “Now that’s quite an understatement when someone is thrown across the room and against the door.” Celestia looked to her sister unpleasantly.

“He startled me,” Luna quipped in defense with humph.

“That’s a neat trick considering I was ASLEEP at the time.” Walking over to her while looking into her eyes told her I wasn’t happy at the moment.

“Well, she put you in bed with me,” Luna pointed a hoof to her sister in her defense, almost sounding like an argumentative child.

“Yeah, but she didn’t throw me across the room when you put me into her bed did she?” The glare I gave her showed of my displeasure at her actions.

“Alright,” she huffed, almost childishly, on the bed with her front legs crossed over her chest, “I’m sorry for throwing you.”

Turning around I headed toward the door with a limp in a couple of paws, “Good, now if you two will excuse me I’m going somewhere to take care of the pain.”

“Wait,” Celestia told me quietly as I stopped near the door. After turning around to look to her, she had an apologetic look. She walked over, lighted her horn, and the pain started fading away. She sighed after she was done, “It was just a prank and until now no pony got hurt.” Turning to Luna she reiterated this, “Remember when we agreed that no pony should get hurt in any of our pranks?”

Luna went from pouting to sorrowful in the span of two seconds, then stepped down from the bed and walked over. “You’re right Tia,” she sighed looking at me, “No pony was supposed to get hurt, I’m sorry.”

“Alright,” with a nod I walked back over to the bed, “then why don’t you bring me with you during one of your dream trips?” A grin appeared on my face as Luna seemed to think about it.

She sighed but nodded, “I’ll take you then, but first something to eat.”

“How about some breakfast for dinner?” wiggling my eyebrows I looked between them.

Celestia caught my meaning and clapped her hooves together, “You mean you’ll make those burritos?”

“Burritos?” Luna blinked in confusion looking between us.

“Yeah my dear Luna,” she frowned a little at that, “and you’ll find out after I speak to a cook or two.”

^_^

It took some explaining to the cooks on what a burrito even was, much less how to make it. However, with some patience, I succeeded. “Alright you two, the burritos will be ready pretty soon.” They smiled at that after I sat down next to Celestia across from Luna. “Luckily they didn’t have to make the flour tortillas from scratch.”

“Oh that’s good to hear Emmit,” she smiled, though Luna didn’t seem to be.

“I’ll reserve judgment if you don’t mind.”

“No, I don’t mind Luna,” with a shake of my head we waited. Didn’t take long, only about ten or so minutes. Then breakfast was brought out on one large plate filled with them.

“There we are,” my mouth was nearly drooling over them while I took a couple. “Man this is soo good,” they agreed with my comments, “I know I’ve said this before, but the food here is way better than mine.” Of course, my eyes were on Luna for her to say how she liked them. To my satisfaction, they both smiled.

“This is indeed tasty,” Celestia commented happily munching away.

“I’ll admit to being impressed,” Luna agreed, taking a few bites, “Nice for food on the run.”

“Like tonight?” I smirked with a chuckle at Luna.

“Not at all,” she shook her head with a slight huff, “They can’t start without me even if I was late. Besides, tonight there isn’t any night court.”

“Kinda goes without saying,” had to smirk and chuckle at that being it blatantly obvious. “How long is night court? And what do you usually get?”

Luna talked between bites and a couple of satisfied hums at the taste of her breakfast. “Depends on the day and who came and didn’t see Tia during day court. Tonight though, as I said, I have off. On the nights that I do have night court I usually take Tia’s day court overflow, for the most part.”

“Any come to see you specifically?” had to ask you know, though I asked carefully as she might have been upset if she said no.

She nodded to my relief, “Yes, whether it be because they can talk me into something that can’t with my sister, or because they work at night instead of the day.”

“I, for one, am glad that you are going to go with her tonight during her nightly duties,” Celestia said to me with a smile.

“I can handle them, Tia,” Luna retorted calmly, “No need to worry.”

Celestia giggled, “I know you can handle them, Lulu. However, I’ve also seen how taxing they’ve been lately and besides, I’m your sister and you know how I worry.”

Luna sighed with a shake of her head, but smiled all the same, “I know you do Tia.” Then she stood up after eating her third burrito and looked to me, “I’d better get on with my duties before I eat another one.”

“That good huh?” standing up I smirked to her.

She rolled her eyes a little, but nodded, “Yes, I’ll admit they are extremely tasty.”

With a chuckle, I turned and gently hugged Celestia, “Goodnight Tia.”

Celestia giggled and hugged me in return, “Goodnight Emmit and you too Lulu.”

Luna raised an eyebrow when Celestia and I hugged, “Goodnight Tia, I’ll make sure you have pleasant dreams.” Then we both left, heading down the hallway.

“So how’s this going to work?” One wonders how going into another’s dream is actually accomplished, “Never been into another person’s...er pony’s dreams before.”

“I will have to put you to sleep before pulling you into the dreamscape with me,” she explained.

“Alrighty then,” chuckling at my best imitation of Jim Carrey. She looked at me funny at that, especially when I did the splttthhh at the end. “Never mind,” chuckled lightly with a shake of my head, “Human reference.” We actually walked all the way to her room, which kind of surprised me a little. “Your room huh? Didn’t know where we were going to do this.”

“Yes, you will be sleeping in my room,” she said simply while opening the door letting us in. A chuckle escaped me when she said that as it could have been taken another way. I decided to remain quiet, even though I had any number of comebacks for that one. My desire to live was far greater than my desire for a laugh. Without saying another word I went back over to the bed and laid down like I was before.

She came over and looked down at me, “I’m going to induce sleep, then bring you into the dreamscape, so don’t be alarmed.”

“Alright,” after a nod from me, her horn glowed and I was out like a light. The next thing I knew stars and floating spheres with pictures surrounded me. Looking down, with the hope of standing on something, proved fruitless considering there wasn’t a floor. Yeah, so I had no clue what my feet were standing on. Was what surprising was the freedom of movement. I could fly.

After hearing a giggle, I saw Luna floating there, “I see you’re already having fun.”

“Yeah,” I chuckled to her then looked around at all the spheres, “just what are these and where are we?”

“Deep in the dreamscape,” she told me while floating over to my side, “this is where I can monitor the dreams of our subjects. The ones that are nightmares glows brightly floating over to us.” Humming softly I looked around for a glowing sphere.

“How long do we have to-”

“AAAHHhhh,” a sphere came both glowing and screaming at me. “WHOA,” was all I got out before it collided with me. Forest surrounded me as I suddenly found myself in a clearing. It was a beautiful clearing filled with nice flowering, a waterfall with a small pool in front of it. The stars were out and a nice full moon high in the sky. It was like a perfect place for a secluded get away with your special somepony. Luna didn’t seem to be here, so my thoughts were around why this seemed like a nightmare.

Until…

“AAAHhhh, get away you animal,” Rarity’s yell came to my ears while she came screaming into the clearing. Her eyes were wide with terror, running at full speed as if the devil himself was after her. Either I was invisible or she didn’t see me because I was ignored completely. Even from a distance, I would be seen easily. The surprise came when a huge Blueblood came stomping through the trees, knocking them down, and into the clearing.

He was laughing like a mad pony with knives coming out of his mouth toward her. Watching in horror Rarity stood there in fright as the knives came at her. At the very last second I, or my dream self that she was conjuring up, appeared beside her igniting a flaming shield. The knives bounced off harmlessly with a loud ping.

“WHAT?!” came Blueblood’s surprised voice.

“Surprise Blueballs,” suddenly came my voice as my body launched itself from inside the shield right at him. Hit him right on the chin making him almost launch in the air. But that, apparently, wasn’t what I had in mind. My dream duplicate dashed right into his family jewels making him squeak like a mouse. Rarity was cheering my dream duplicate on from inside the safety of the shield while my duplicate then dashed into him. With a loud resounding “oof” sending him flying backward into the trees leaving a large trench along behind him.

“There you are,” Luna said suddenly appearing beside me, “I wondered where you went. Now I know.”

“Can they see us?”

She shook her head at my question, “No they can’t, not unless we wish it so. So what happened?”

My duplicate dissipated the shield and started walking back toward Rarity. “Rarity was being chased by an overlarge Blueblood which I, or my dream self, just saved her from.”

“Emmit my darling,” Rarity ran up to the dream Emmit and immediately gave him a very passionate kiss. Which he returned in earnest.

“Well, it’s not a nightmare now,” Luna’s voice took on a jealous tone all of a sudden, “So we aren’t needed here.” Not to mention the tight-lipped frown on her slightly glaring face.

“Well no,” I started to say but suddenly stopping when I heard.

“Oh, Emmit,” from Rarity as she nuzzled up to him kissing him again, “I love you so much, Emmit. You’re such a catch. Strong, handsome, chivalrous, and know how to treat a lady.”

Well, that was certainly surprising. Luna meanwhile just huffed at the image of Rarity deep throating me. “Come on let’s go,” she said while turning around and grabbing me by the tail. The scene started shrinking away as Luna started dragging me across the ground toward a dream exit.

“Take me, Emmit,” Rarity said thickly as she laid down under my dream self, “I want to be yours, your mare, so take me. Right here, right now. I want to scream your name as-”

“That’s quite enough of that,” Luna said rather testily as I found myself back among the stars and spheres again.

Holy shit balls I didn’t know that she had such a wild side to her. I stood there looking at the floating orb in front of me. Eyes wide in surprise at the heated dream scene before them.

“Hey,” Luna tapped me, rather hard, on the side of my head to bring me back into reality.

“Huh?” after shaking my head I looked to her sheepishly, “Sorry my mind was blown there for a minute.” Well, that was the wrong thing to say as she glared at me. I could swear her eyes turned red for a second. “Ok ok I’m sorry, but I was just so stunned. I had no idea that Rarity had such a wild side to her and the sphere did launch itself at me you know.”

She softened a little. Enough to “humph” at me anyway. “It seemed that her subconscious knew that you were near and sought you ought to help ease her nightmare,” Luna seemed to explain and it made sense.

"It’s over now.”

“Yes thankfully.”

Yeah, that was clearly the wrong thing to say, idiot. Feeling rather guilty, for some odd reason, and I honestly had no clue on what to do. When she walked off in a huff, I was determined to do at least something. Walking over quickly, I got in front of her and hugged her to me. You ever felt like it was one of those times that you were punished for doing something in someone else’s dream?

She started to protest and wiggle to get away from me, “Don’t hug me, I’m angry at you. I didn’t want you to be with another mare, but me.”

That startled me enough to back away and hold her away from me to look into her eyes. My paws had her front legs while I stared at her in shock, “Wait, you’re blaming me for what happened in her dream even though I had no control over it?”

She had this mad pouting look on her face that was a little comical, “Yes.”

What else could you do but laugh at that? “Now come on is that really fair?”

She sighed, but pouted her bottom lip out at me, “No.”

“But you can’t help it because you got jealous didn’t you?”

She didn’t say anything, which was all that was needed to confirm it.

Pulling her to me again I hugged her against me, “Come here you silly mare.” She was still pouting as I wrapped my front legs around her holding her head to my chest. I lightly laid a kiss on her head, “Now Luna, Rarity is a nice mare, but right now I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her alright?”

She wasn’t pouting as much now. I knew how to calm her down. Morphing to my naked human form I rolled her over where her chest was against mine. My arms wrapped around her after moving her body over mine with her hind legs resting outside of mine. She blushed while looking into my eyes. Her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Since we were floating, like in space, and weightless it was easy to move and shift until her waist was pressing up against mine. My body instantly responded but other than that I didn’t make any moves.

Smiling I slowly caressed her pony cheek with her front hooves laying over my shoulders. The other hand taking a journey up and down her back, slowly and firmly. “Take a deep breath and close your eyes my Luna.” I spoke softly to her, “It’s just you, me and the dreamscape.”

When she closed her eyes the spheres went away and just left the stars as we floated there in silence. Only our own breathing was heard. “Now tell me why you are so jealous,” my voice was soft and gentle.

“Because she’s right,” Luna said with a voice that sounded like it was a mixture of sad and frustrated. “Everything she said was right about you,” she then opened her eyes putting one hoof to my cheek, “You are a catch, you are gentle and caring, and you do know how to treat a lady. That’s how Starry Sky was.”

“Tell me what makes me different from him.” My goal was to encourage her to find, and like, the differences.

“This way that you have to make me relax,” she began softly pinning her ears back with half-lidded eyes. “Those fingers of yours,” she hummed at that when I moved my fingers to behind her ears to scratch lightly, “should be outlawed. Or at least banned from any mare but me.”

“Only you?” I asked gently and in a way that hopefully got her to think of her sister, at least.

“Well maybe my sister too,” she added blushing again, “To help her relax. Her day is taxing on her, though she would never admit it.”

“True, so what else?”

(Mature, but not overly so)

She looked into my eyes, “You have this way of being intimate, without being sexual at all. Right now I can feel you against me, but you haven’t made a move. I can feel my teats against your bare skin, the lips of my marehood against your hard shaft, but you haven’t moved. Like to do so would ruin the moment. And for the first time since Sky I feel drawn to somepony...or fox. You make me feel cared for and protected. That when I feel the need to I can let everything go. To stop being a powerful Alicorn princess and just be a simple mare that needs to have strong hooves around her.”

I smiled wiggling my fingers against her neck, “Or arms, hands, and fingers in my case.”

She rolled her eyes a little at that, “Yes those.” Then she gave me a look and gently swatted my head, “But you're too flirty for my liking.”

I chuckled but nodded, “Yeah, but then again at my age for human males, my hormones are starting to peak and will stay that way for years. So, it’s not uncommon for us.” She pouted at that. Leaning up I kissed her softly, “But for you, I’ll do my best to tone it down alright?”

She nodded looking like this talk is doing her good, but there was something else. “Thank you,” she said then sighed looking intently into my eyes, “I fear that if I fall in love with you that...that...”

“That I’ll disappear like Sky?”

She nodded slowly, “Or worse and leave me for another mare because of all the flirting you do.”

Slowly I put both arms around her and held her against me fully, “My Luna I promise you that I will only flirt with you and your sister ok?”

“Alright,” I felt her nod against my cheek, then she pulled back, “My sister?”

“In all honesty, I do like her yes,” I nodded, “Plus she does need to relax as you said. And I don’t want me to come between you and her. That is something that I fear. That you two will have a fight over me. Because if she does develop feelings for me...” I trailed off leaving her to answer.

She looked down, as the gears turned in her head.

My lips pressed against hers lightly, “Something to think about ok?”

She nodded slowly.

“Good, then how about we continue this in the real world? With you and me like this under your full moon among flowers?” I suggested while rubbing her cheek with a hand.

She blushed but smiled, “Well there is this place that Sky and I used to-”

I interrupted that with a tap to her nose. “Stop right there,” my voice was gentle but firm, “I don’t want to go where you and sky went to.” After she looked at me a little confused I continued with a sad smile, “Because I want that place to stay special for just you and Sky. That we, You and I, can have a place that is just for us. That the place in your heart for Sky remains just for Sky. That you don’t feel like I’m trying to replace him in any way.”

“I…,” she started to speak but stopped as a single tear slowly slid down her muzzle. In her eyes held thanks for me, sorrow for Sky, and a giddiness all rolled together that looked like she didn’t know what to do with herself. Using a thumb I wiped away her tear as she closed her eyes and tilted her head into my hand with a hum of contentment. “Thank you, Emmit,” she hummed to me.

“You’re welcome,” I whispered into her ear as she hugged me against her, “How about going somewhere that’s out in the open where we can feel the wind against us? That’s maybe a little daring and risque?”

She lifted up her head in thought then bit her bottom lip a little while blushing. After nodding her head she lit her horn with a flash. Consciousness came back to me as I opened my eyes to see that she was in my arms with me in my human form. She was laying over me in bed just like we were while in the dreamscape. “Have an idea?”

She giggled slightly with a nod and lit her horn again, and we disappeared in a flash. A second later we appeared again, still laying in the same position, but now we were in the castle garden. It was in one corner of it that had a small waterfall and pool. We were laying in front of it in the tall flowers that were blooming. “These are special flowers that I planted that only blooms in the moonlight,” she spoke softly while using a hoof to lightly brush one of them next to my head. “I come here to think when I’m frustrated, to just be alone sometimes, or to try to relax.”

Using a hand I touched her cheek and gently moved her head to face me. My voice was soft and my eyes filled with thanksgiving, “Then thank you for bringing me to your special place. Our place where you can be just a simple mare that doesn’t have to worry about anything. A place where I can listen to you, comfort you, or whatever you need.”

She looked at me with a look that held so many emotions in her smile and in her eyes. Emotions that kept her from speaking although she wanted to say something.

I smiled up to her then put a hand against her head and gently lowered it into a soft long kiss. She sighed, closing her eyes after we parted then wiggled a little more against me. Lowering her head to my neck and resting it there she also moved her front legs under my head. Turning my head I joined in the feeling of peaceful intimacy by gently kissing her neck; using my hands to rub firmly up and down her slender form. How her body moved to plant itself more firmly against my shaft didn’t escape me either.

(Luna’s POV)

Without words to express, he just lowered my head to his giving me a light long kiss. Not sexual or needy, but gentle and peaceful. His hard shaft was still pressing against my folds with my teats pressing against the coarse hair on his waist. Looking down at him with my eyes meeting his there wasn’t any desire to rut in them. Even though I can feel the pulse of his heart through his shaft, that desire to rut senseless just wasn’t present. I felt the same, it wasn’t there. However, what I did feel was the warmth that we were sharing. I saw that in his eyes, a warmth that flowed through me. Comforting me without the need and heat of passion.

Lowering my head I lightly and slowly placed kisses against his neck. Closing my eyes I took in his scent and the taste of his skin. He hummed contently under me and tilted his head giving me more room. This is what sets him apart from Sky. How he can be so intimate without rutting. Encouraging you to open your heart. I blushed thinking about how he would be while rutting with me if this feeling continued. Sky comforted me of course, but not like this. This is more personal, more intimate. I could feel my heart opening up to him. To let down all my barriers and let him see the most intimate parts of my heart.

What he said in the dreamscape came to my mind again. How would I feel about him being with my sister? He would treat her right, that much he’s proven. We’ve talked about it in the past, just nothing recent. Right now I didn’t know. Not like anything had to be decided now. There was time before heat season. But my sister’s estrus is always right after mine. So yes, there was time.

^_^

(Celestia’s POV, The Next Morning)

It wasn’t just the pull of the sun that woke me up this morning, though I didn’t want to, but also the sound coming from my sister from outside. Her playful laughter and squeals hit my ears telling me that she and Emmit were having fun below in the garden. My body complained when I rolled out of bed to figuratively crawl to the balcony. Emmit’s ministrations the previous afternoon relaxed me well enough to easily put me to sleep last night. He does have a way of doing that. It brought a smile to my face when thinking about how he made me feel. Looking down to the garden below, from the balcony, proved my ears were right. Emmit was kneeling over Luna, while naked in his human form, tickle torturing my poor sweet sister.

“No,” she laughed, “I need…” Emmit wouldn’t let up.

Come on Luna, you can tell him to let up so you can lower the moon.

“I need,” she tried through laughter, “to lower…the moon.” She finally got out through Emmit’s barrage of tickle attacks. Emmit was kind enough to let her up and watch her do her duty and lower the moon.

I, in turn, ignited my horn raising myself off the balcony floor and raised the sun for the start of a fresh new day. After doing my duty I leaped off the balcony to join Emmit and my sister down below.

“Morning sister,” Luna greeted cheerfully when I landed.

“Morning,” my voice was slightly slurred due to just waking up. Luna giggled and hugged me to her, which I leaned into her with a long tired sigh and stretched.

“Wow,” came Emmit’s teasing voice in my ears, “Morning Tia, looks like somepony is still tired.”

“I can’t help it,” I playfully complained, “Your ministrations yesterday afternoon worked too well. I didn’t want to get up this morning.”

Luna giggled, playfully nudging me and teased in a foalish voice, “Aww does my big sister want to go back to bed?” We all laughed when Luna said that, but it was true. For the first time in a long time, I slept extremely well and wanted more of it.

“Yes,” giggling still I nudged Luna back while closing my eyes with a hum. Then groaned while continuing to lean against her, “But I can’t. I’ve got too many things to do today.”

“Well you’re just going to have to wake up then,” Emmit said with a voice that told me he was smirking at me. My ears picked up his moving from the other side of Luna to stand right in front of me. “And I know just the way to do it.”

“And what is thammmph?” I started to ask what the method was before his lips met mine in a passionate embrace. My eyes went wide in shock with his kiss that sent a wave of heat through me. Not only was his lips massaging mine, but also his hands were rubbing against my cheek and neck. Making me relax into it. However, just before I closed my eyes again to kiss back he suddenly backed away to grin at me.

“I can put ‘em to sleep, and I can wake ‘em up.” He told it with a wide smirk before morphing into his Ninetales form and trotting off with, “Well, if you ladies don’t mind I’m going to get some breakfast. Ta ta.” My mind was still in shock as my head followed him as he disappeared into the castle.

Another giggle hit my ears then Luna’s amused face came into view. Her hoof came up and wiggled against my still puckering lips, “Well you have to admit that he did wake you up.”

I knew I was blushing, and blushing hard, damn him.

Then Luna sighed with a smile, “Looks like we both are starting to fall for him.”

“I am not,” retorting quickly I shook my head. Only to meet her knowing smile and a raised eyebrow. “I’m not,” I said again quickly, but then lowered my head with a long sigh and trudged my way into the fountain. My hooves splashing heavily through the water until my head reached the small waterfall and dunked my head into it.

A couple of seconds later Luna came trudging into the water as well. Her hooves splashing the water until they stopped and her head came into my peripheral view. Nothing was said for a few minutes as my mind reeled with the new feelings from my heart. Which was warring against the information from my head.

“Tia,” she began softly, “I’ve already told you that I think that I’m falling for him.” Then she turned her head toward me with a knowing smile, “And it looks like you are too.”

Looking over to my sister showed me that she too had her head in the water while it cascaded down her head, neck, and back. My eyes showed her the conflict within me as I looked to her, “Alright I’ll admit that I think I’m falling for him. But, I don’t want him to come between us. I can’t lose you again Lulu.” I hugged her to me as if she would disappear.

She giggled softly while leaning against me, “You know he said the same thing. He too was worried about that. That if I was soo strict to want you for myself that it would form a rift between us.”

My heart twisted with that possibility, “I never want that Lulu, so you can-“

Luna stopped me putting her hoof to my muzzle, which made me look to her with a curious expression. She also wanted to speak on that subject but needed a minute to get her thoughts together. “We’ve already talked on this some in the past,” she began slowly and softly as we looked at each other through the water, “Never really finishing that discussion because Sky wasn’t interested in you, only me. Now is different. Emmit admitted, just this morning that he liked you, but he also liked me as well. Thus raising his concern. All this morning I’ve thought about it, and will continue to think about it.”

I waited some more while she spoke her heart.

“However, he’s not Sky. He’s also interested in you and I can see how he can make us both happy. I know that you’ve wanted somepony for a while.” She smiled to me knowingly, “You can’t hide it from me sister. I can see how he makes you relax, how he makes you feel.”

I nodded slowly in agreement.

“He does that with me too,” she continued, “The way he speaks through his hands. How he makes you feel cared for, protected, like…”

“You’re the most important thing in the world to him,” I finished with a giggle and a smile.

She giggled with a nod, “That nothing will ever harm you.”

“That you have nothing to fear from him and can open your heart completely to him without fear of wrath or judgment.”

“That’s what makes him so different from Sky,” Luna looked to me with a soft smile, “that way he has of being so intimate without being sexual at all.”

“Oh sister, what are we going to do?”

“You know,” Luna spoke slowly as if speaking her thoughts aloud, “When he kissed you just now, I thought that I would feel jealous, but I didn’t.” When I didn’t say anything she continued, “He asked me to think about starting a herd with him with you and me. So that he won’t come between us. We’ve spoken before about that possibility because of our Alicorn physiology leaves us limited about suitors and potential fathers. I thought that maybe, just maybe, with the right stallion…or fox, in this case, could not only keep us from ever growing apart over him but help us grow closer together as sisters.”

When she was done I was glad my head was in the water. That way she wouldn’t see the couple of tears that were running down my muzzle. “Oh sister,” my voice was soft and filled with emotion as I hugged her to me again. It was my turn to speak my heart, “I’ve served Equestria for such a long time that I think it’s time for Equestria to give me something in return. I’ve thought about trying to find a stallion that’s suitable to father a foal. I’ve sought out other possibilities to impregnate myself, so I can experience the pain and joy of being a mother.”

“I’m not ready for that sister,” Luna shook her head.

“I am,” I nodded to her, “With you here, finally with me again, I have found myself dreaming about being a mother.”

“With Emmit?”

I was blushing again, but smiling this time, “Maybe. How do you feel about that? If I did indeed fall for him and wanted him to be a father of my foal, how would you feel about that? With his mark being Sky’s and all…”

She sighed putting her head against the stone wall of the waterfall deep in thought. “Yes his mark is Sky’s,” she spoke softly, echoing her emotions in her heart, “Then again, he’s not Sky. He is similar, but I see Emmit, not Sky. Sky is gone and my heart is at rest over that fact. What I feel in my heart is that as of right now I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”

I hugged her to me happily, “I love you so much, Lulu. I couldn’t bear to lose you again.”

She hummed in agreement and leaned into me, “No matter what happens Tia, you won’t ever lose me again.”

We just stood there holding each other enjoying each other’s presence as our heads were still under the waterfall. “Lulu?” I finally asked after a few minutes.

“Hmm?”

“We look silly don’t we?” Both of us started to giggle at that, then outright laugh as the picture of what we must look like hit us.

“Two Alicorn sisters standing under a small waterfall with our heads in it?” Luna laughed as he body shook in mirth against me. “Nah, not funny or silly at all.”

“Why don’t we get some breakfast?” I asked when I caught my breath.

“Alright,” she giggled as we turned, splashed our way out of the pool, and walked toward the castle. Both of our bodies dripping wet, our tails trailing along the ground behind us. Until Luna stopped me with, “I’ve got an idea sister.” I leaned over as she whispered it in my ear. We are still wet from the water after all and Luna had the most wonderful way to dry us and mess with Emmit at the same time.

^_^

(Emmit’s POV, Royal Dining Room)

After finishing my breakfast of eggs and hash browns, I was quietly sipping on some chocolate milk while reading the morning paper. The headline and subsequent article caught my eye because it reported on a recent string of foal napping from various cities. It was just like Ponyville all over again. Which means it wasn’t limited to just Ponyville, so why all the foalnapping and for what purpose? All those thoughts got interrupted when my ears picked up a couple of soft pops behind me. When I turned around both Celestia and Luna were standing there dripping wet. And they were both grinning at me.

Why are they grinning at me? I had the most confused look on my face while trying to figure out what was going on.

“Oh, what are we going to do sister?” Luna questioned aloud while feigning helplessness. “We are all wet and without a towel to dry us.”

“Oh, I think that Emmit can help us with that,” Celestia smirked at me right after they started to walk toward me. At first, I thought they would ask me to blow dry them. You know, as I did after giving them a bath. Not this time.

No, this time they used their magic to levitate my tails, four to Luna and four to Tia, to use my tails to dry them off with. Each one facing away from me with my tails pressing and rubbing all over them.

“Oh his tails are soo fluffy, soo luxurious, and works better than any towel,” Luna cooed while using her magic to manipulate four of my tails around her body. She was using them as a towel.

And Celestia wasn’t any better. She too had four of my tails all around her body, also using them to dry herself with. Now mind you I have full feeling through those tails and each one was sending me intimate details on where they were on their slim forms. Front, back, both sides, including rump and private areas they pressed and rubbed my tails into.

My brain was now being overloaded, then started shutting down when most of my blood went south. Especially when both of them, at the same time mind you, looked back at me, other their shoulders, each of them winking. It was one of those “hi there big boy” gestures when the girl winks at you and curls one of her fingers. Only they curled my tails around them then used the tip of one for the gesture saying, “Yoohoo.” And they said it at the same time and winked at the same time.

With most of my blood now in my southern region I had no clue where I got the blood from, but a drop of two came out my nose due to the massive blush on my muzzle.

They giggled at me before walking up on either side of me. Looking between them I turned my head to Celestia when she spoke, “I think we broke him, sister.”

Then to Luna when she responded with, “Yes, but we can fix him.” Then both kissed me on my cheeks, one for each side. Each hummed loudly, and comically when they kissed me. But they weren’t done yet. Oh no. After they got done with kissing me senseless, Luna walked around me to join Celestia as they walked together toward the kitchen door.

“Good morning Emmit,” they singsonged at me together with a wink before disappearing through the closing kitchen door giggling at me.

When my brain finally began to reboot I turned around and walked out of the dining room to seek out a very long, and very cold, shower.
