Making my way over to town gall, I wondered where to meet up with Ditzy. If I was right outside her job, would it be too bold? Or should I hang out somewhere more hidden, and then approach her once I see her. That one might be a better option to spare her the stares, or at least keep them on a lower note.

Apparently, I had also over packed the basket needing to be bigger to carry everything in it. While it bit of a hassle due to it's awkward shape, I elected to levitate it over my head as I walked. There was some stares and whispers from some of Ponyville residents, but what they were saying I didn't really care since they were bound to say things that weren't true.

Though, what I have been able to passively catch portrayed me as a chad who liked to frolic in alleys with random mares. Another one is that I try and keep to myself since I wasn't really used to the modern era of the world.

And then there are the more ridiculous ones that include me being a thousand year old virgin that is willing to do anything to 'rut' a mare. One would think to have some self-control over their imagination, but I guess some ponies here are pretty weird just like shut ins on Earth.

As I made my way, I noticed that the Guard was still following me. It gave me some peace of mind knowing someone was keeping an eye on me, though I was pretty sure I was the last person to need it.

Arriving at the post office, I went inside to and immediately made a right turn and into the post office to check in with Ditzy.

And almost ran into her as she was almost at the corner I made the sudden turn for.

"Franz!" She said, sounding surprised, and excited.

"Ditzy! How have you been?" I asked her, still startled slightly, but recovered quickly.

"Oh, I've been good. Are we ready?" She asked. Looking around, I didn't see anyone near, so I nodded.

"Yep, I have everything in the basket, all good to go." I replied.

"Okay, Lets go!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Once we left, I made sure to tell her to give us some distance, should the public be looking out for me. We had a spot in the park to set up at, somewhere specific in mind for the both of us.

We went flying, as to go faster and not waste time. I got there before she did, but she wasn't too far behind.

I noticed that there was a cloud that was nearby, and deleted it to give us a clearer sky. That, and I read that Pegasi can walk on clouds.

My horn lit up with magic, and I took everything out and set up the striped blanket for our food.

"So, what are we going to do?" She asked.

"Whatever you want that's within reason." I answered. Even though I could defy reason, I liked it since it made sense.

She seemed to think about it, her nose adorably scrunched up in thought.

Her cheeks reddened, and I raised an eyebrow.

"C-can we cuddle?" She asked.

I stopped setting up and looked at her. Cuddle?

"Sure?" I said, questioning what she wanted.

"We can do it after we eat, or before." She said, smiling warmly.

"Its all up to you, honestly."

"I know, but what do you want?"

"What's best for you."

"No seriously, do you want to eat, and then cuddle? Or cuddle, and then eat?"

An idea suddenly hit me.

"Why not both?" I asked, giving her a shrug.

"Both?" She asked.

"Yeah, we just kinda sit with each other and eat at the same time."

"Okay." She said.

I laid up against the tree, and I was expecting her to sit right next to me, but instead, she sat right between my legs and leaned up against me. It took me by surprise, but calmed myself. This was probably a cultural thing they do, so I shouldn't read between the lines. Or, whatever this was.

She let out a hum of content as she took in a deep breath. I was elated to see her so relaxed with me, and decided to eat some of what I brought.

Levitating some of the spaghetti to me, I ate while she rested on me.

She must have smelled my food, because when I looked down at her she was staring at me with wide eyes.

"You want some?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said, wiggling in her place. While it felt odd, and I got a slight stirring in my crotch, but kept it under wraps to not poke her with my friend. That would ruin the whole experience, and date.

"I'll get you some." I replied.

We ate quickly as to return to our little cuddle session. She smelled like freshly baked breads before, but now that I got closer to her, she had a hint of salt, somehow. How I could smell salt was beyond me, but I figured it was part of the body I was in. I idly wonder if their smells can change depending on the time or it it was a situational thing. Unless it was more geared towards Pegasi, because that also could be the case too.

It didn't really matter much to me. As long as that spicy smell wasn't there, then I was comfortable with this.

I felt her squirming in my lap, and looked down on her. She was trying to get more comfortable, which made that sensation dance inside my lap again, but I kept myself under wraps to keep it in.

Resting my head on hers, she stopped shifting about and let out a content sigh. She was quite awkward, but so was I when I first started dating.

I'll never forget the first girlfriend I had, back when I was about fourteen.

'Ha, she fucking dumped me on Valentines Day' I thought. It wasn't really her fault, her family didn't want anything to do with her dating anyone, and when they found out, they threatened her with a banishment to the streets.

I didn't know this at the time, and was devastated for a while. I got over it, of course.

'Damn, I was a really fragile back then, wasn't I?' I thought, reminiscing my simpler past.

I think Ditzy may have fallen asleep, because I was starting to feel her slump in one direction rather than leaning on my fluffy chest.

Thinking she was going to be late to work, I nudged her with a forearm in hopes of getting her to wake up. And after the first few tries, she began stirring.

"Huh?" She said, letting out a cute yawn after.

"Aren't you going to be late to work?" I asked her.

"Nope, I made sure to do all of my rounds before I went on our date."

My mind drifted back to when I heard something going really fast on my way back the The Library.

"So was that you I heard speeding through the sky earlier?" I asked.

"Yeah, it was." She said, leaning into my chest again. I wasn't sure what I smelled like to her, but from what it looks like, it was a pretty good smell.

And so, we stayed like this for another hour. I made my Motion Tracker extend it's range so that it would detect anyone in a three hundred foot radius. I wasn't going to let the media target her, so precautions were necessary.

I caught myself starting to get a long schlong, but forced it to go back. I didn't want to leave a bad impression on her, or to offend her in any way. But she would unknowingly begin to shift more into my crotch, thus making me get temporarily excited.

I, of course, will take care of this problem once I was alone for a duration of time.

I felt my visor vibrate, and it woke her up almost immediately.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I'll check."

Pulling up my visor, I saw that there was someone coming our way. Well, not directly at us, but more in our general direction. They had a blue blip, so that meant it was someone I knew. I had everyone a specific color. If they were orange, they were unknown. Blue, friendly. Green, friendly with armor. And red, enemies.

The red ones weren't in use yet, but was thinking I should make an exception for Blueblood, since he was a dickface.

I noticed that the blip was moving at a moderate speed. Not too fast, and not too slow. It wasn't a Pegasi, since my motion tracker has a problem with that, and it wasn't a Unicorn, which I noticed also made my Motion Tracker slightly buggy.

'It either had to be Pinkie Pie, or Applejack.' I thought.

I got up and let Ditzy alone at the picnic blanket. I had chosen a spot where we would be able to see any passerby, and them not be able to see us unless they were paranoid and checked everywhere before moving ahead.

Upon seeing who it was, I let out a surprised hum.

It was Fluttershy walking down up the path. She would've seen me, if she wasn't so focused on the bird that was resting on her head.

It looked like she was talking to it, and I let her do her own thing. I figured that was her way of fun, talking to animals.

"What is it?" Ditzy asked.

"Nothing. Just Fluttershy talking to a bird. I think she was talking to it but I'm not sure." I answered.

"Okay, well, can we keep cuddling?" She asked.

"Sure."

I brought her into a hug, and made a quick peck to her cheek. She seemed slightly surprised, but she kissed me on the lips.

Once she pulled back, I held her closer and pulled her into a bigger hug. She didn't fight it, and she pulled in closer as well.

I checked the Motion Tracker again, and it looked like Fluttershy had left. I also looked up at the skies, and made sure that she wasn't there, which she wasn't.

"Hey, Um, d-do you think we can, you know, m-make out?" She said, getting more and more flustered as she went on.

"I don't know, the last time we did that you were asserting your dominance over me, which you lost almost immediately. So you kinda can't. Plus, that would mean I would be starting to play favorites, which is unfair to you and Luna." I said.

She looked a little sad, but I planted another peck on her forehead.

"But that doesn't mean that we won't get there eventually. It's just a matter of time and trust, and you've already gotten pretty far with me in the latter." I said, smiling as I rested my head on hers.

"I'd like that." I heard her say.

After another half hour of just sitting there, she eventually decided it was time to head off, as the day was getting closer to the end, and night time was starting to show just around the edges of the sky.

She gave me one last goodbye kiss, and I returned it.

"Promise me something." She said.

"What would that be?" I asked.

"Promise me that you won't hurt us, or anypony I know. Promise me you won't play any mind games with me, Dinky, or Amethyst."

I looked at her with a confident smile, matching her tone and sincerity.

"I promise."

"Do the chant."

"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." I said, going through the motions.

She seemed a bit horrified, and confused, but I think she took the promise to heart.

"I'll see you next week, Franz." She said, smiling happily.

"I'll be waiting for you." I said, bowing my head lightly.

She blushed and left soon after, her tail swishing about more than usual. I think I made a pretty good impression on her.

It felt as though the date was a success, and I was glad it was. I was almost certain she would be upset from the way I said things on my proposition, and being proved wrong on that one was a relief.

Looking over to the blanket, I saw that there was still the two muffins left, and some miscellaneous things too. I held onto the muffins, and deleted the rest.

As I made my way back to Twilight's, I began wondering what Fluttershy was doing with the bird earlier. While I think that she was safe at the moment, I was going too ask Twilight about it when I got there.

It was almost four, and I realized that Dinky got out at 2:50, and panicked.

And then realized that Amethyst must've gotten her instead of Ditzy. Damn, I slipped the ball on that one. I only have a week or so planned ahead of me, and my memory is already forgetting what I have planned. Maybe I should have a health check up after next week, so I now why my skin can't be pierced. I wasn't so sure on why that happens either.

I arrived soon after, and saw Spike cooking something, along with Twilight reading another book. I wasn't so sure if she was still reading the same book, or if she was on another one.

She turned her attention up to me for a moment.

"Oh, hey Franz. Where were you all day?" She asked, tilting her head at me.

"I was out." Was my simple reply.

"Out?" A smirk spread across her muzzle.

"And with who?"

"You know, here and there. Say, you wouldn't know what Fluttershy was doing with a bird in her hair, would you?" I asked her.

"Oh yeah, she dropped by when I asked her to take a small nest to her home."

"Cool. So how's your day been?" I asked her.

"It's been good, thanks for asking!" She said, beaming from the casual question.

"Nice, well, I'm going to take a shower, then I'll be back to eat." I said, heading to the bathroom.

"Okay." She said, returning her attention back to her book.

"Sup Spike." I said as I passed him.

"Oh hey!" He said quickly.

I took my shower quickly, using something that would keep the pheromones at bay for a few days. I hope it worked as intended, since it apparently had an effect on pegasi, and less on other races

When I came down, Twilight was reading and eating at the same time, and Spike was eating and reading a comic about something. I think it was about superheros.

Dinner was uneventful with Twilight and Spike not really paying attention to me, which was good since I needed a bit to think. It felt awkward to eat in relative silence, having grown up in a larger household than just three people.

Finishing my meal, I noted that my mouth felt unusually fresher and I ran my tongue over them as I began to pile my plates into the sink, using my magic to clean them off.

"Hmm, weird." I said, suddenly aware of the fact that I hadn't needed to go to the bathroom all day. Looks like my test worked.

Twilight went to bed early, and so did Spike. They were a little unusual about it too, but I paid it no mind. I think that they just felt like that with some guy sleeping in their living room.

I would have gone to sleep, if it weren't for the fact that I had the sudden urge to masturbate.

'Not again.'

Ignoring my carnal desires, I went to bed and tried to suppress the urges. I eventually fell to the clutches of sleep, and hopefully into the dream realm with Luna.

I did it.

I finally did it!

OH SHIT!

I fell on my side again, walking on all fours in a different form being far more of a challenge than originally anticipated.

"Do not worry, Franz. Thou shall overcome this with time, and effort." Celestia said.

"Yeah, like going from two legs to four is natural for me." I said sarcastically.

'Is this a memory?'

"Just keep trying. Do not lose faith in my teachings." She said.

"Kinda like how you keep trying to not check me out every time I go into this form?" I shot back, giving her a glare.

"I do not 'Check you out" as thou say. My sister is who that applies to. How fares her attempts in courting thee?"

"She's pretty fucking annoying about it. But overall seems to have the good interests for me. It doesn't help that it's supposed to go the other way in my world either." I answered.

'Yeah, definitely a memory.

"While she does have the best interests, she is also adamant on thee, and it is rare for somepony like herself to be captivated by... someone." Celestia said, changing her wording to match it to my past self.

"And why's that?" I said, looking over to her.

"She has a certain... distrust for stallions." She said.

'Oh?'

"Oh? Why is that?" I asked.

"Let us say that her experiences with them hath often lead to her own heartbreak." She said, gaining a light frown.

"Huh, didn't know that. Did they, you know, try and force themselves onto her?" I asked.

"No. They art too small minded and selfish. Thou, on the other hoof, are firm in your beliefs and shares wonderful gifts with everypony. From teaching us how to cultivate the land, the gift of science, and giving us company when we need it. That, and thou's form is most appealing to the eye, almost sweet." She said, catching my past self off guard.

"What?" I asked.

I felt his confusion on the last part, but knew what it meant.

"She isn't very affectionate, but when she has a desire to obtain a certain goal, she accomplishes it. With both time, and effort." Celestia said, smiling at me in a almost sinister look. Is that how she smiled at people? Glad she changed it up in the later years.

"Don't smile at me like that. It's creepy." Past me said, a shiver going up both of our spines from her grin.

"So you're saying if I were to accept your feather, then that would mean we're now a couple?" I asked.

Luna was looking up at me with the most cutest puppy dog eyes I've seen her make as of yet.

"Yes! Take my feather and establish our courtship official!" She said, sparkles in her eyes.

"And what happens afterwards?" I asked, staring at her levitating feather as it floated in front of me..

"Then we shall be starting the process of our love, and hopefully extending our family names! This is the utmost best news I have had all week! HUZZAH!" She squealed, throwing her hooves in the air in a very un-Luna like way.

"I don't know. I mean, I can practically make anything I want. What do you think I want out of this?" I asked her.

"What? We wish for thee to be happy with us for the remainder of our eternal lives!" She said.

"And no strings attached?" I asked her.

"Why would there be strings attached to our courtship?" She asked.

"Well, the last girl who I was with tried to kill me after a few years. Who says you won't do the same?" I asked her.

"And what were her motives?" She asked, sounding more attentive. What was with her at this time? She seems almost all over the place.

"My power mostly." I said apathetically.

"And what about thee? What doth thee want from a relationship?" She asked, giving me a raised eyebrow.

"I..I... Don't know. To be held? To be wanted for who I am?" Past me said, shrugging his shoulders.

"And I shall be waiting here for us, even if thou want's just me or more mares along the way, I would be happy to oblige and accept them into our herd should the occasion present itself." She said, gaining a serious face.

"Even if they have kids?" I asked.

"Yes, we have always wondered what it is like catering to a foal."

"You know that we're not biologically compatible, right?"

She laughed and smiled.

"We shall find a way, thou just let us worketh our magic." She gave me a wink.

"What's with it and you guys and being uncanny? I feel creeped out with the looks you and Celestia give me."

"And what looks would we give thee?"

"That one."

Waking up, I rubbed my eyes of the sleep still stuck in them, the day being one I wasn't expecting to come this soon. Today I had to go back to Canterlot. I think Ditzy knew that it was today, and I know for sure that Luna did.

Or did I have to leave Friday?

Maybe I should check in with Luna to make sure.

Packing all of my things, which was relatively easy, I got up and saw that Twilight was up already, but Spike wasn't. Probably sleeping in.

"Tell them I left to Canterlot. And for Spike to watch his pasta."

"What?" Twilight asked, clearly missing context.

"It's an inside joke between us, he'll understand." I said, leaving with some jam slathered toast that was on a plate. It was good, I'll give her that. I heard Twilight call out in surprise, but I didn't stick around to find out what she wanted.

Making a bee-line towards Ditzy's home, and knocked on her door. When she didn't respond after a few minutes, and I figured she was in at the moment.

"Huh, weird." I said.

Assuming that she wasn't going to be here anytime soon, I left to the Train Station. My train was supposed to leave at around 10:30, and it was currently 9:20, so I had some time before I had to take it back to Canterlot.

A thought popped into my head, as though connecting something.

'What if she's at the Train Station?'

Quickly making my way there, as well as my Guard following, I was surprised by who I saw.

"Luna?" I said, tilting my head.

There, in their royal attire, stood Luna and Celestia, with several Guards around them.

"Dear Franz! We have missed thou so much!" Luna said, sounding very cheery. It was somewhat odd of her to be this excited, but then again, I haven't seen her for a few days.

She walked over to me in a hurried manner, and gave me a tight hug, and buried my head into her fluffy chest.

Now keep in mind that there were several ponies around, and a few certain ones had cameras which made audible clicking and flashes. And I was being smothered by Luna, who in mind, doesn't care for her public image very much.

As I was being crushed, I was unintentionally forced to breath in Luna's smell.

Oh god.

It smells like jalapenos!

Pushing her off lightly for more breathing space, I saw that Ditzy was here by herself. She looked fairly nervous, and my thought was right, she did come to say goodbye.

"While I appreciate the show of affection, I think you guys should go ahead and get settled in the meantime." I offered.

"Very well, Dear Franz." Luna said, letting me go and stepping towards the crowd.

"Citizens of Ponyville! While it is a pleasure to see thou's little faces once more, we wish for thy to disperse immediately, and to continue thine's daily activities!"

'MY EARS!' I winced.

They all left soon after, but I saw Ditzy wanting to come, but was looking hesitant.

"Did thou not hear us, little pony?" Luna asked, a stern look on her face as she came a bit closer to her.

I saw Ditzy flinch, and turn to leave almost immediately.

"Dear Franz, did thou meet thee's contact?" Luna asked, as though she didn't tell everyone to leave.

"Yeah, you met her just now." I said, my tone falling flat.

"We did?" She asked, gaining a confused look.

Nodding, and giving her a disapproving look, I sent a drone after Ditzy. Luna looked guilty, and hung her head in embarassment.

After a few seconds of waiting, Ditzy was back. She followed the drone and looked confused, as well and nervous again.

"Luna, this is Ditzy, the mare I told you about, Ditzy, this is Luna, my marefriend, or however that goes." I introduced, waving a hoof around with a dismissive tone towards the end.

"Greetings, I was not aware that thou was the contact Franz was referring to." She said, making an unusual amount of eye contact.

"I-it's nice to meet you, P-princess Luna." She whispered softly, almost terrified.

One could practically feel the tension in the air, and I turned to Celestia, who was just watching the whole scene fold out.

"Well, I think we should hang out for a while, no? How about we go watch some videos from Earth?" I offered.

"Yes, that sounds splendid." Celestia said, nodding along.

"I wish to watch as well."

"Ditzy?" I asked her, who now had a curious look in her eye.

"Uhm, o-okay!"

We were sitting around my laptop, waiting for it to start up again after I powered it down.

"I've always wondered what this device of yours did." Celestia said as the screen loaded up and showed a snowy mountain background.

"It's a multi-purpose device that lets the user explore the internet, make documents, videos, pictures, draw, type, yadda yadda yadda. Basically, I can do anything on it." I explained.

"May we ask what the 'Internet' is?" Luna asked.

"Oh, that's a great question. Basically, it's a world-wide, data sharing, find anything you can think of kind of place. I usually used it to watch shows and online video's, but I don't think I can connect to it anymore." I answered, giving a small contemplative frown.

"Why not?" Ditzy asked.

"Well for starters, I can't go to my home world and connect, and this planet isn't as technologically advanced as my old one. We were about a Tier 4, and you guys are, from what I'm able to tell, a Tier 6. maybe lower." I said.

"And that means?" Luna added.

"It means that we were beginning to travel through space, and you guys are starting to make steam powered locomotives."

"What do you mean? I thought that steam power was the most scientifically advanced thing there was." Ditzy said, not understanding.

"Well, that's what you ponies have been able to accomplish. But as time goes on, so does your knowledge regarding science."

Pressing the enter button, it showed me the password pin. Typing it in quickly, it loaded momentarily before everything loaded up. It has been a while since I used this thing, and what I was meet with was a gif of Shrek dancing to something, and doing suggestive motions with what looked like a barrel.

I, of course, burst out laughing at the absurd looped video, but Celestia, Luna, and Ditzy looked a bit confused, and slightly disgusted by it.

"What is that?" Ditzy asked, a small frown on her muzzle.

"That is Shrek, the god of life, and the creator of destinies. Savior of souls, and a beautiful creature that once was, but is now lost." I said, making myself sound mournful towards the end.

"Is that really what this creature is?" Celestia asked.

"Nah, he was a cartoon character that went out of control and made people weirdly chaotic." I answered truthfully.

"From thee's home world, we... I presume?" Luna asked.

I glanced around the table we were at. There was almost no one here, save for a few guards stationed outside the doors.

"Yeah, he was a pretty big internet trend, and is typically associated with sexual intensity and/or lust." I explained, shivering from that one video that will not be named.

"He sure doesn't look like any of that." Ditzy quipped, leaning in slightly closer to analyze him.

"Yeah, my people were a weird bunch."

"We noticed." Luna said, wrapping her forearms around my neck.

Not trying to play favorites, I pulled Ditzy into my lap. She squeaked as I pulled her close, and I could feel Celestia staring.

It was odd to be sandwiched like this between two mares. The scent of Luna's spice and Ditzy's bread smell gave me the impression of a jalapeño sandwich, of all things. It bothered me that I was able to tell Luna's heat apart from her normal smell, almost instinctual even. Must be this form and it's sensitivity towards it.

Moving my magic along the track pad, I clicked the X at the top right corner and closed all of the tabs that I had open.

The time read 9:56, so we had some time before we had to go.

It might've been a long train ride, unless I was smothered by Luna all the way back to Canterlot. Not that I minded, but it was worrying that Luna might try something risky on the way back. I knew that our special night wasn't going to be very special anymore, to me at least, but I could still make it for her.

And I wasn't so sure about Ditzy.

And so, for the next twenty minutes, we watched a pre-downloaded, totally not Pirated episode of How It's Made.

This one was how to make Twinkies.

Standing at the loading dock with Celestia and Luna, it was time to say goodbye for now. Ditzy was looked saddened as I held her close.

"I'll make sure to drop by next week to pick you and the girls up for Canterlot. We'll have a great time there. Well, that is if BluesClues isn't there." I said.

"Who's BluesClues?" She asked, unfamiliar with the name.

"Blueblood. I figured I should give him a nickname other than 'Blueballs', but I'll probably find another one more fitting in a few days." I said, giving her a squeeze.

"Just take care of yourself. Shouldn't be too long until then, alright?" I asked, looking into her eyes. Sorta.

"Okay." She said, getting a bit nervous as she leaned in and closed her eyes. She clearly wanted a goodbye kiss, and a single glance to Luna for reassurance was all I needed to see to give Ditzy what she wanted.

Planting my lips onto her own, she leaned in more, pushing herself onto me. It took me by mild surprise, but I made sure to keep a firm grip on her, as well as limiting myself. It felt weird being watched by your girlfriend as you kiss another girl. Especially if her sister is right there as well.

But this was normal. Or, it's what I was led to believe at least. I really hope this isn't some elaborate prank on me, or a weird cucking thing Luna had.

We broke the kiss, and she buried her head into my chest. I held onto her as she began to sniffle.

"Hey, hey, hey, you good?" I asked her softly.

"Yes." She said, slightly muffled by my chest.

"Don't think of this as a goodbye, think of this as a small trip to home." I said, pulling her chin up to my gaze. I saw tears forming in her eye, and it tugged at my heartstrings.

"That doesn't make sense." She said, confusion slowly replacing her sadness as intended.

"I know."

"Dear Franz, the train is ready." Luna said.

"See you later on, Ditzy." I said, giving her a wink.

Turning, I walked into the cart where we would be in for a while. It looked comfortable, and surprisingly spacious.

Looking back, I saw that she was still there, except she had a small smile on her muzzle. There were still tears in her eyes, but she maintained that smile that I enjoyed.

The train slowly began to pull forward, and eventually started pulling to Canterlot. But I continued to watch Ditzy from the window as the train began picking up speed. Eventually, as we pulled over a hill, she disappeared into the background.

Turning to Luna, I saw her with a smile.

"Thou did good securing a mare like her, Dear Franz. And for doing such, we have something for thee." She said, slowly moving closer to me.

"And that is?" I asked, unsure of what it could be.

"Our third date. We believe it is time we for thou to take us. But we have another mare for thou to meet." Luna said, wrapping her arms around my shoulders.

"Wait, I thought we were only getting one new member, Ditzy." I asked, getting confused and mildly worried.

"We did say that we needed a crutch for the Soul Bond to be re-established, did we not?" She asked.

"Yeah, but I thought we only needed one more person for this." I said. What does she mean another mare?

"While in normal cases, thou would be correct, but since only one of us is a true Alicorn, and our options are scarce, we turned to another pony that would aid us in our recovery."

"Why wasn't this explained earlier so that I wouldn't be surprised?" I asked.

"We wished to tell thee, but we were afraid thou wouldn't accept our idea."

"Luna, you don't have to hide anything from me. We're going to get our Soul Bond back, and we need to put trust in each other." I said, grabbing her hooves and holding them up.

"We understand, tis just the fact that over a thousand years ago, thou would have reacted poorly to such an idea."

"Luna, the person I was and the person I am right now are two completely different people. Sure, I may have retained some things from the past, but I try and use them to be better. So please, trust me like I trust you."

She seemed slightly conflicted, then pulled me into a tight hug.

"We apologize, Dear Franz."

"It's alright." I said, trying not to breath in her jalapeno smell.

"And you." I said, looking at Celestia. She seemed surprised that I spoke to her directly.

"Yes?"

"Stop it." I said, giving her a frown.

"What do you mean? I have yet to do anything to interrupt you two."

I raised an eyebrow, almost hearing the vine boom in the background.

"Dear Franz?" Luna said.

"Celestia, if you won't stop putting those 'Heat' Spells on Luna, then I'm gonna make sure all of your cake expires before you can get to them." I said.

She gained a slightly less amused look.

"You wouldn't dare." She whispered, narrowing her eyes and leaning in, trying to intimidate me.

"Try me."

"Dear Franz, surely thou wouldn't attempt such." Luna said, breaking the hug.

I was about to speak, but Celestia stopped me.

"It would be wise to no speak, Franz. Unless, you want me to challenge you to a dual." She said.

"I don't know, I'm feeling pretty challenged right now. Socially, not mentally." I added, noticing Celestia bite her cheek to keep from laughing.

"You aren't as tall as me."

"Size isn't everything."

"Sounds as if you're talking from experience."

"Sounds like you don't have any."

"On the contrary, I happen to learn best when presented with a sudden situation."

"On the contrary, you're still a virgin."

"Am not."

"Oh? Is Princess Celestia not as pure as we all thought?"

"You're one to talk."

I was silent, and suddenly feeling some form of offense.

And Luna looked pretty shocked.

"Fuck you."

"Fuck me yourself you coward." She said, losing her smile immediately and covered her mouth with her hooves.

Taken by surprise, I just stared at her, both of their faces heat up and feeling my own do the same, I tried to change the subject.

...

...

...

But couldn't think of anything.

"Did we go too far?" Celestia asked.

"Yeah, might've." I quickly added.

"Doth the two of thee have any hidden feelings for each other?" Luna asked."

"Yes."

"N-" I stopped and looked back at Celestia in surprise.

"You do?" I asked.

"Well, yes. For a very long time." She said, attempting to use her poker face, despite the light blush on her face.

I stared at her again. When did this happen? She said a very long time, but how long? Before my disappearance, of after?

"Huh." I grunted.

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing bad, but I'm a bit confused. Did this happen before, or after I disappeared?" I asked.

"You don't have to answer that if you don't want to, just making that clear." I added quickly.

"I will." She said, clearing her throat after a moments pause.

"Ohh, where to start. I believe it was when you came to me asking for advice for Luna."

I felt Luna lean into my side at the mention of her name.

"Most of the time, you would ask for things that Luna didn't like to try and get her to lose interest, and in doing so, I suppose I may have developed a small, let us say 'Crush' on you."

Luna was watching in silence, but seemed like she was, for some reason, completely passive about this.

"I guess that, one thing may have led to another, and I attempted to... court, you." She said.

"And then Luna must've seen, and gotten jealous. Since she had yet to successfully court you, she viewed it as as competition. And so, for over several weeks time, I also attempted to court you as well, albeit more subtle than my sisters methods."

"But in the end, you ended up with Luna, and I felt alone. I didn't want to feel this way, so I tried to kiss you again, and, well, Luna caught me again while I forced my feelings, and myself, upon you."

"And how much time passed when we actually started and when you tried that?" I asked, my face hardening from the revelation.

"You two were almost reaching your third year anniversary of courtship, when it happened."

"Luna, did you notice that Celestia was feeling this way at any point?" I asked, turning to her.

Luna seemed momentarily lost in thought, and then frowned.

"We did take notice, at first, but we believe we forgot out of spite, perhaps ignorance as well." She said, looking down at the ground.

Letting out a sigh, I leaned back into my chair. This isn't what I wanted to talk about on the way back to Canterlot. Wait, she never did answer my question I never asked.

"I see. Wait, you never answered my question. Who was the other mare you found?" I asked, starting to connect the dots in mild panic.

She perked up again, almost immediately.

"Well, due to our predicament in magical prowess, I had to look for one with capabilities similar to our own."

"And who might that be?" I asked, looking at her in suspicion. I was almost certain who it was.

"Thou has been speaking with her this whole time." She said, confirming it.

"What do you mean, I've been talking to them. You mean that they're in Ponyville?" I asked, hoping it wasn't who I was thinking of.

"Nay, in here, with us." She added.

I took notice that we were the only one's here. Just me, Luna and...

...

...

Celestia.

I looked over to her, she only had a hopeful smile.

Oh god

No.

Fuck no!

Absolutely unacceptable!

"What!?"

"Is it alright if I call you sunshine?" She asked.

Franz:exe has stopped working: Shutdown: Yes : No?

I've been pretty busy, I know, but work and stuff is pretty whack. Sure, they're flexible, but it takes up a majority of my day.

I love hearing your feedback and what I can do to improve my story, so feel free to comment!

Edit: So far so good! The editing is a lot more easier than I realized. But holy hell are a lot of things I need to either redo, or word differently. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed!
