Sunset was waiting for me when I got back to the tower, laying on her back on the couch, a book floating above her. As I walked inside, she looked up from her book and rolled onto her stomach as she closed her book, floating it over onto the table, “Hey.”

“Hey,” I said and moved over to give her a small nuzzle and a kiss on the cheek and I jumped onto the couch next to her, slipping my wing across her back, “What are you up to?”

“Waiting for you,” she said and leaned against my side, resting her head against the side of my neck, “Did you invite Midnight to our dinner tonight?”

I glanced at her, “...Shouldn’t I have?”

Sunset shook her head, “Not at all,” she said with a smile, “That was very nice of you. But maybe talk to me and Luna about it first? It was meant to be just for us and Twi? You know, kind of a date thing?”

“Oh,” I said and shifted my wings, “Sorry.”

Sunny sighed and raised her head, giving me a quick kiss before she laid back again, “Don’t worry about it. I worried about her too, she's all alone and… she just stay shut away in that tower and trying to figure things out. I know how’s Twi’s like, this kind of thing might make her retreat into her books. It’s good to get her out of there, we four can have an alone night sometime else.”

“And she’s basically Sparky,” I said, looking down at her, “Her twin sister if nothing else.”

“...That too,” Sunset admitted and frowned, flicking her ears, “It’s hard to see somepony that look like Twi in distress and isolated like that.”

“I’m sure you get other thoughts too,” I teased and gave her ear a nuzzle before she smirked up at me,

“Be nice, Page,” she chided me with a smirk, poking me with her hoof, “I think two alicorns is enough for me,” she answered with a small blush.

“Not being greedy or anything,” I said and laid down fully next to her, stroking her back with my wing, ”So what’s you been up to all day?”

Sunset shifted a bit closer to me her side against mine as she touched her horn softly against mine, “The legion has been drilling all day. I helped out as Swift were busy.”

“How’d it go?” I asked and rubbed my hoof over her shoulders, “you’re all tense.”

Closing her eyes, she let her head drop against the couch with a small groan as I started to massage her shoulders, “Hmmmm… went well...they’re good. There’s talk about joint drills with the Nightguard…”

“Not a bad idea,” I agreed as I worked her back with my hooves, “They are whom the Legion are most likely to work in concert with.”

Sunset nodded lazily with a small groan against the couch, “Mmm, the team leaders thought so. We’re going to be working a lot with the other guards, especially the Nightguard. The Legion isn’t really meant for open combat.”

I smirked down at her, “We, huh? Going to sign up?”

She sighed and rolled over onto her back to look up at me, putting her hooves agains my chest , “...No. But that applies to the War Mages too. And we’re the only ones.”

I frowned down at her, “Taking that serious then?”

“Been thinking,” Sunny admitted and frowned up at me, “I… I think they might be needed. We might be needed. Not just us, but the entire thing rebuilt.”

“That is serious,” I told her and settled down with her, resting my head against her chest as she put her hooves around me, “I think you should talk that over with Luna. She’s the one in charge of it all.”

“I plan too,” Sunset said and nuzzled at my ear, stroking my mane with a hoof, “Speaking of Luna… about time for her to get up. We should go wake her.”

I nuzzled up to bump my nose against hers, “We?”

“We,” Sunset agreed, “Luna and I aren’t a thing, not like Twi and I or you and Luna, but I do want to get closer to her. We are friends and family.”

I eyed her for a moment before I smirked, “So… what you’re saying is that you want to sleep with my wife?”

Sunset made an annoyed sound and pushed me off the couch.

I landed with a oumhp but I just laughed and rolled onto my hooves before she jumped over me to land on the floor, trotting into the bedroom. Grinning, I moved to follow her. Walking behind Sunset always was a good view.

The curtains were pulled across the windows room, leaving it in twilight. The bed surrounded by a bubble of silence like usual to keep the sounds of the day from waking the sleeper within. Following Sunset through the bubble of magic, I jumped onto the bed to Lunas left, scooting closer to nuzzle at her neck.

The alicorn slowly stirred and slipped a wing across my back, pulling me close, “Mmm… Page…”

“Morning My Sky,” I said and relaxed next to her, leaning against her. Luna suddenly tensed up slightly in surprise and looked to Sunset on her other side where the unicorn had given her a small nuzzle.

Luna then smiled softly and gave her a small nuzzle back before slipping her other wing across Sunsets back, pulling her into a cuddle as well.
