Author's Notes:

I found an old picture of what Selene is supposed to look like. I am redesigning her

Twilight was the first one up yawning. She rubbed her eyes as they slowly drifted down towards Selene. She was still as sleep her face buried into a pillow. She noticed the washcloth that she had placed on her forehead had fallen to the floor. Moving a bit of Selene’s mane from her face before leaning down and kissing her cheek. Her cheeks started to flush as her ears went up in shock. Moving some of the covers she was able to slip from the bed. Stretching her hooves she moved to the bathroom showering quickly as she could. Walking out of the bathroom she noticed Selene had moved under the covers. Shaking her head she walked out leaving the towel on the side of the bed. Her eyes had to adjust a bit as Celestia’s sun was shining in the sky. Poking her head out of the door Twilight was expecting to see the hustle and bustle of the maids and guards but found an empty hallway. Moving from the room she walked along the hall listening to her hooves against the marble floor. Glancing around the hall as she moved towards the main rooms she noticed a few guards standing at a pair of doors. Walking to the pair of guards they noticed Twilight trotting up to her bowing.

“Miss Twilight they are waiting for you for breakfast” one guard spoke up before opening the door for her. Twilight bowed to the guards as she walked into the dining room noticing Princess Celestia was sitting at one end with Selene’s parents while Princess Luna sat at the other end with her friends keeping their faces on the table groaning a bit. Ra and Za were at the table finishing up their meal while Princess Cadence was in the corner trying to help a drunken shining armor.

“Twilight I thought you would be here sooner” Celestia set her cup down as Twilight smiled rubbing her hooves together.

“Me and Selene woke up late yesterday after the nap. We were talking about magic and Merpony life” She smiled as Celestia nodded.

“I hope you don’t mind your daughter sharing that with my student” Celestia looked at Triton as he was nuzzling his wife.

“Not at all. I was hoping to bring that up in the peace talks.” He smiled as Saluki stayed quiet. Twilight walked over to the table and looked at King Triton.

“I hope you don’t mind but why are you looking for peace from Equestria?” Twilight blinked as Triton looked towards Twilight.

“I am shocked, I was thinking your princess would be the one to ask that” he chuckled a bit before sitting up straight “Well, to be honest, I want us and the Tropics to get back what we once had. Back then ponies were not scared of merponies they welcomed us and even came to see us. But after the disappearance of the Crystal Empire, we lost the visitors and the ponies. We even gained bad reputations after a village was attacked. What my ponies don’t know is that I am also responsible for the ponies on the islands and I try to help them as much as I and my father and the rulers before me could. I am seeking peace to help them because if I help them then they can bring back my kingdom to what it once was.” Triton looked towards Twilight as she rested her head on the table staring with bright eyes.

“Really! I wish I had some parchment” Twilight looked around as Celestia giggled.

“Later Twilight” she smiled as Twilight started to blush.

“Right” she looked towards Cadence as she walked over to her “Cadence can I speak to you” Twilight smiled as the pink alicorn nodded. Cadence left Shining Armor on the floor sipping on some tomato juice as he huffed a bit. Twilight moved out of the room as Cadence looked towards her sister in law noticing a small pink heart was sitting on her shoulder.

“Twilight why speak to me out here?” she had a smile on her face.

“How can you tell your in love?” Twilight glanced up at Cadence who’s smile widen.

“Well, you can’t. It's different for different ponies and its hard to pinpoint what makes a pony fall in love” Cadence glance down as Twilight sat in front of her.

“What happened when you fell in love with Shining?” Twilight looked up at Cadence noticing a shocked look.

“You know what happened Twilight. You saw me tackle him to the ground kissing him when I first meet him” she had a grin appearing on her face as Twilight nodded.

“Twilight why are you asking?” Cadence walked over to her noticing the pink heart turning red “Do you like somepony?” Cadence leaned in as Twilight’s face was turning red as the small heart appeared over her head.

“Yes,” she squeaked out as Cadence started to laugh.

“Who are they? What do they do? Are they unicorn, earth pony or Pegasus? Stallion or mare? Oh, I half to tell aunt Celestia and Luna” Cadence was giggling as Twilight looked towards her.

“Cadence oh no… I don’t know what to do. My feelings for the pony are complicated okay” Twilight huffed as Cadence backed up falling to her flank.

“Well then tell me what you like about them then?” Cadence kept her eye on the heart above Twilight’s head.

“Well, they are different from normal ponies. They know magic that I have never seen before. They can do things I never have seen before either. I want to know more about them, I want to know if my heart is telling me the truth” Twilight turned as Cadence was nodding along with her. She noticed the heart was changing from red to pink as she smiled.

“Well take this pony out then Twilight. Have a day where you can know them” she kept her smile up as Twilight nodded.

“That’s brilliant why didn’t I think of that” Twilight glanced up to her sister in law.

“Because love can be blinding” Cadence smiled as Twilight got to her hooves.

“Thank you Cadence!” she ran off allowing the Pink alicorn to slip back into the dining room.

“Cadence what was that about?” Celestia looked towards her.

“Twilight has a love crush” she giggled as she walked towards a very hungover and shocked Shining Armor.

Twilight quickly walked along the halls smiling. She bowed to a few guards as she made her way to the bedroom humming. Her idea was to take Selene out and show her around Canterlot for a bit. She kept her smile up as she walked into the bedroom noticing Selene was sitting up looking around.

“Selene your awake” she smiled causing the merpony to turn her head.

“Twilight are you alright?” Selene moved from the bed wincing a bit. Her joints were sore as she landed on the floor looking over at Twilight.

“I’m alright but what about you? that looked like it hurt” Twilight walked up to Selene as she pushed her to the bathroom.

“I’m fine. I just hurt but that is the price I pay for overusing my magic” she chuckle as Twilight placed her in a bathtub before turning the warm water on “Twilight?”

“You are getting a bath. Then I am taking you out” She walked over to the sink grabbing a new washcloth.

“What?” Selene watched as she walked back over scrubbing her fur and mane. Twilight scrubbed her before rinsing her off “Do you ever shower?” Twilight glanced at Selene who was looking at her tail.

“Shower? No, unless you mean hang out near the lava vents to clean your tails and gills then yes” She smiled as Twilight shook her head. She placed the ash cloth down before turning the water off.

“No its how we get clean” Twilight pulled a towel out of a draw holding it out to her. Taking the towel Selene started to dry herself off before pulling herself from the tub. She was able to place her spell on allowing her legs to be seen. Twilight pulled out a brush and quickly combed out Selene’s mane before placing it up for her.

“Thank you Twilight” Selene smiled as she leaned in hugging her. Twilight stood there blushing as she pushed her mane back smiling.

“Your welcome. So I want to show you around Canterlot today starting at the one place I enjoy a lot” her face lit up as she dragged Selene out of the castle giggling. Selene smiled as she followed Twilight through the town to a small shop with a long line of ponies out of it.

“Doughnut Joes” her face dropped as Selene walked up and placed her hoof on her shoulder.

“How about we come back later make it more special” she smiled as Twilight stood up and nodded.

“Of course!” Twilight smiled as she moved from the doughnut shop. Selene noticed that ponies were staring at them as they walked along the streets of Canterlot. Looking into a few windows of the local shops Selene turned towards Twilight.

“Are there no prices for anything in these windows?” Selene glanced around as Twilight was snickering.

“It’s how they get you inside. They placed the nicer items in the windows to draw you in” she walked up as Selene looked down towards an item.

“Oh, that is a smart move. I’m used to stalls mostly not sure about these stores” she looked up towards the brick building. Twilight took Selene along a few more stores before entering a bookstore. Selene glanced around the shelves as Twilight went into the arcane section. Selene had her eyes on a few books that were listed as romance.

“Romance? What is that about?” Selene silently thought to herself as she picked up a book and started flipping through it.

“Her moans were silenced as his brother pressed his member down her throat while Jack kept up his pace. The room was filled with his balls slapping up against the maid’s flank while his eyes glared down at her watching her suck off his brother.” Selene closed the book and placed it on the shelf as her face was a bright red. Twilight walked up to her as she noticed the look on Selene’s face while her fins were stretched out behind her.

“Selene” Twilight reached out and caused her to jump.

“I’m fine, I just found a very adult book” she looked at Twilight who glanced up to the section she was in.

“Most of the books in this section are kind of like that” she was smiling as Selene wanted to bury her head into something “It’s okay to feel like this Selene” The merpony looked up towards the purple unicorn.

“Kind of “Selene shivered as she shook her head “Nope I am going outside” she shivered as she folded her wings behind her. Twilight went to pay for her books before walking outside. She noticed Selene was looking at a few mares that walked by causing her ears to lay flat against her head. Stopping for a moment she looked over to the group and noticed how slim their bodies were before turning her head towards the window beside her. Her stomach was pudgy and she had some meat on her flanks. Selene noticed Twilight standing behind her she leaned down.

“How does one get that skinny” she whispered towards Twilight “Are they sick? Do they not eat?” Once Twilight heard that she let out a snicker.

“Is that why you were staring?” she watch Selene nod.

“I’ve never seen a mare so skinny. It's kind of scary” Selene shivered “They could probably break at any second” she shivered again as Twilight let out a laugh a bit. Selene looked down at Twilight was laughing a bit. Selene started to look around as she noticed a few stallions were giving mares flowers as she looked over at Twilight.

“Twilight can we go to the garden of the castle for a moment” Selene kept her eyes on Twilight as she nodded. They walked in silence as Selene was trying to arrange some words in her head. She took Twilight into the hidden section of the garden that she was in the other day. Stopping for a moment she turned around and looked at Twilight.

“Lady Twilight may I have your hoof tonight for a date?” she bowed in front of Twilight glancing up for a moment. She could see Twilight’s face turning red as she started to stutter losing control of her magic as the book in her magic dropped to the ground.

“Wait really?” Twilight was shocked as Selene looked up at her. She stood up placing her fins along her back.

“Of course why would I not ask?” Selene tilted her head as Twilight sat in front of her.

“I mean you were looking at other mares. And you’re a princess Selene. I know you have a crush on me but shouldn’t you choose a noble?” Twilight wasn’t sure what to do at this point. She liked the attention Selene was giving her since it was new and exciting. But she knew this could never go further than just admiration.

“I was because I’ve never seen mares like that. I’ve also never seen mares larger either or wearing clothes. How do you wear clothes?” Selene shook her head as she looked towards Twilight “I don’t want a noble. Besides to me, you are noble” she smiled as Twilight looked at her.

“Selene if I say yes to this date what are you thinking?” Twilight kept her eyes on Selene as she smiled.

“I was thinking a nice dinner date under the stars. I was going to get Ra and Za to help me pick up stuff and cook you a dish Coco Noods” she smiled as Twilight tilted her head.

“Coco Noods?”

“It translates into Fried Coconut Noodles. I thought while we were at dinner I would tell you some words the islanders taught me. Along with a dance” she grinned at Twilight as her cheeks were blushing. Twilight had to admit that sounded nice than what she originally thought.

“I don’t know” Twilight glanced down as Selene nodded.

“That alright if you don’t want to go on a date. How about you come to the pool area of the bedroom for tea and I can teach you some island words” she smiled as Twilight looked up to Selene.

“I’m not sure” Twilight noticed Selene’s ears flatten against her head as she noticed the smile being forced on her mouth.

“Alright. I think I need to rest for a bit. Come by later and we can keep the magic lessons up” she bowed as she started to move away from Twilight but she was shortly stopped. Turning around she noticed Twilight using her magic gripping her tail a bit.

“I still can’t wrap my head around why?” Twilight looked towards her as Selene moved back towards her “I can’t wrap my head why would you like me? I can understand others because they look lovely. They have interesting lives. They wear lovely clothes or they like to go out and have a great time. I like to read. I do not go out as much. My friends half to pull me from my books. The only time I have an exciting life is when the princess sends me somewhere” she was huffing at this point. Selene moved closer as she nuzzled her a bit.

“Let me tell you something. Before I started my trip I was a shy merpony. I clung to my mother listening to the stories she would tell about her life on the surface. After the incident, I became withdrawn and distant from others. I spent most of my time in the castle’s library reading books. When I was forced to go out I went to the ships I already found once before to see if I could find anything else. Or I would sit on the mast and watch the schools of fish go by till Ra or Za would come and get me. I became so distant it took the lowest point in my life Twilight that I found something that I like. After that point I would go and visit the Islands and learn from the ponies but no matter what I was always felt like I was missing something. When I saw you I thought you looked weird. Till we started talking and I started to teach you. I felt the void slowly filling up. I don’t want that void to come back just yet. But if you do not want me around or to go this route then that’s fine.” Selene looked up at her as she watched Twilight placing the books she bought down in front of her. She looked up into the sky watching the Pegasus move some clouds around creating a cloudy day to give some of the ponies on land a break from the late summer sun.

“If this does work what are we going to do? More importantly you?” Twilight glanced over to the shocked merpony “I do not want to move from my friends. I love the place that I am in and the point in my life and where it is going”

“I wouldn’t ask you to move Twilight. And I wouldn’t ask of you to commute.” Selene shook her head as she sat beside Twilight “The more time I spend on land and the more I been teaching you has made me realize something. That something is I can do a lot more on the surface than I would be able to do back home. Home has a lot of blocked paths with a lot of ponies who do not see my potential. I would probably get nothing done.” Twilight kept her eyes on Selene “After I take you and the girls to visit my home and the islands I was going to come back and ask the princess if I could be a teacher. Maybe an ambassador for Equestria when they need to deal with my father. You think that would be possible?” Selene looked towards Twilight.

“Wouldn’t you miss the sea?” Twilight spoke up as she moved her hoof around.

“Well of course but it doesn’t mean I can go and visit the sea. It would make visiting my parents very special” she giggled. Twilight leaned up and kissed Selene on the cheek. Selene smiled and kissed her hear until they heard a cough behind them. Turning around Selene noticed Princess Celestia and her father standing behind them.

“I was looking for you two” Celestia spoke up before turning her head to the nearby balcony “Cadence, Luna, Aurora you three should of have told me where they were?” Selene looked up and started to turn beat red. Twilight looked up and tried to use Selene’s fins.

“I am placing on a Gala tonight and I want you all to attend. Everypony is to come” Celestia turned around and walked back inside. Her father turned and looked down at her daughter before following the solar princess.

“Twilight” Selene looked down to the purple unicorn.

“Yes,” she looked back.

“If I don’t see me again. I hope you find another that will make you smile” Selene looked towards the ground as she walked into the castle. Twilight was confused as Cadence teleported next to her with her friends and Aurora in tow.

“So my daughter is the one you have a crush” she smiled as Twilight glared towards Cadence.

“We followed you” she smiled as she pulled Twilight into a hug “We need to get you ready for tonight” she was singing as Twilight kept her eyes on the castle.
