Why did I listen to him? Why did I let him bring me here?

I paced around my room. Celestia had been kind enough to provide me with a room in the castle. It was a lot better than my old cell in the dungeon.

How could I be so stupid as to think that Discord was being helpful?

Celestia had yet to talk to me. She had brought me to the room and left me.

She knew. Somehow she knew. She couldn't have just barged in by coincidence.

Why did I feel resentful about it? How could I be upset about her interrupting Luna and me?

Because she caught you kissing her sister you dumb colt!

I shook my head. I hadn't kissed her. She had kissed me.

And you kissed back.

I stopped my pacing. I....I had. Why the hay had I done that?! I had actually kissed back. Was Discord right? Did I actually have feelings for Luna?

Would you be here if you didn't?

But....what about....

Fluttershy?

I felt a tear slide down my cheek. How could I kiss Luna? I was in love with Fluttershy.

And Luna's in love with you. And now she'll think you like her too after that kiss.

I sat down in front of a mirror and looked at my reflection. I looked awful. A sleepless night was bound to do that. I could imagine.....Fluttershy asking if I was okay and forcing me back to bed.

I was about to imagine....

No. Why would I think of Luna helping me before Fluttershy?

You heard her last night. She can't fall in love easily and now she has. For you. The fact that a princess loves you is pretty big. And you have feelings too. Why wouldn't you think about her?

Because I already have a marefriend. I can't have two.

And yet you have feelings for both.

It was at that moment that the door to the room opened. I watched from the mirror as Celestia walked in. She spotted my reflection looking at her and nodded. "Speedy." I turned away from the mirror and looked at the princess. "Celestia." She walked towards me. "It's time we talked." I sat down. "I guess so." She sat in front of me, never breaking eye contact. I felt my eye twitch slightly.

We sat in silence for only a moment. Celestia sighed. "I had hoped this wouldn't happen." My eyes narrowed. "You knew didn't you?" She nodded. "I've known for a while. Nothing happens in the castle that I don't know about. Especially when it comes to Luna." I lowered my gaze. "And you did nothing?" She shook her head. "I tried to keep her from going to Ponyville last night. She wouldn't have it though." My eyes locked with hers again. "You knew she was going to do something last night? That she was going to admit her feelings for me?" She nodded.

I stood up and began pacing. "You knew that your sister was going to make a pass at me, a normal pony, who already has a marefriend whom he loves, and you just let her go?!" Celestia stood up. I thought I could see the slightest hint of anger in her eyes. "Do you think it was easy for me? I knew what she was getting into. But I thought that you would have had more common sense than to actually return her premature feelings." I stopped and glared at her. "You think that I planned this? I had no idea until last night that she had feelings for me!" She glared back. "And yet I discovered you kissing her last night." I turned away, not wanting her to see the guilt in my eyes.

"What are your exact feelings towards Luna?"

I didn't look at her. I couldn't. I felt the tears welling in my eyes, though I didn't know why. "I...I'm not sure."

"Answer the question Speedy."

The last of my guilt and doubt dried away with my tears. I felt hardened against Celestia's accusations. In a single moment I went from fearing her question to not caring about my answer. I slowly turned to the princess. Something in her eyes changed. Was that surprise I saw? Or could it be fear?

"I do have feelings for Luna."

A small smile found it's way to my face. "So what happens now Celestia?" I felt something spark in the back of my head. My life had just become more complicated. More...chaotic. And I liked it. Next Chapter: A Moonlit Walk Estimated time remaining: 18 Minutes
