Let me clarify before you read this chapter. I am in no way attracted to anypony in this chapter. I just wanted my character to have a story of his own so I wanted to write one. ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!

I regretted the words the second they left my mouth.

Luna blinked and looked back at me, surprised. "What?"

I swallowed hard. There was no going back now. "Will you go out with me?" I waited for her response for what felt like eternity. I wanted her to say something maybe even yell at me for having the audacity to ask a princess such a question. But she just stood there silent.

"I... um... I have to go." Luna said. She kicked off the ground flapping her beautiful majestic wings as fast as they could carry her.

(Princess Luna)

Thoughts were racing in my head as I flew away from the green pegasus watching me from the ground. I couldn't believe it! Even after twenty two moons, nopony really trusted me enough to get close to me. But this pony. He wanted to know me. He wanted to get close to me.

I shouldn't have ran. That was the one thought constantly going through my head every five or so seconds. I shouldn't have ran.

(Emerald shine)

I began sulking away. My head was low. Such an amazing beauty. But I probably scared her away from ponyville for good. I sighed as I started to walk back down the path we had walked together, when I suddenly heard the sound of a landing behind me.

I turned around and the princess of the night was still there looking down at me. "Young one. I'm truly sorry. I should not have ran. I was just very surprised by your request."

I bowed my head to the princess. "It was wrong of me to ask your highness."

Luna chuckled. "I told you to call me Luna." A smile crept its way across her face as she approached me. "Yes young one. I would like to go out with you. I think I shall get to know you better."

My heart stopped. It skipped about forty beats. I rose to my feet and looked her in the eye. "Thank you Luna." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I was in utter awe of what had just occurred.

Luna prepared to take off again when she looked back. "Meet me here tomorrow night. We can then decide where we wish to go." I nodded. A look of confusion was now on Luna's face. "I never asked though, what is your name, young one?"

I smiled at her. "You can call me Emerald shine." She nodded and took off towards the castle in Canterlot.

I didn't sleep that night. There was far too much excitement racing around in my head for me to even dream of sleeping.

The next day, I walked around the town with my head held high. I was usually in my house or in the restaurant during the day so nopony was really used to seeing me outside. I practically hopped on my way to my job. I waved over to Bon Bon and Lyra, who were on their way to open their sweets shop for the day. They gave me a weird look and walked off. I didn't even care though.

To be honest, most ponies gave me a weird look whenever I interacted with them. Most ponies didn't expect me to. I really didn't have many friends in the town. Not even Princess Twilight so much as glanced my way. It always made me think of a play I saw in Manehattan once.

The play was called "Dear Evan Hansen." It was a story about a high school foal who felt as though he was completely invisible. He rose to popularity after the death of another pony who ponies believed to be his friend. I always relate to that kid because I'm never noticed by anypony. I walked into the diner where I was surprised to see Cheerilee.

She was the only pony in town I ever really bothered to try to talk to. I walked up behind her and said, "Hey Cheerilee! What are you doing here?"

Cheerilee turned around in shock and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, it's just you Emerald." She laughed. "The school system took some budget cuts and had to reduce the salaries of the teachers. Now I have to work here on the weekends to keep myself going." She sighed. She looked up at me and put on a clearly fake smile. "How have things been going for you Emerald?"

"Oh, nothing much really." I decided there was no point in telling anypony that I was going out with the princess tonight. Knowing my track record with social events, I'm probably just going to screw up and she's going to leave me before even an hour has passed.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally left my house and went to the place me and Luna had agreed upon the night before. An hour passed and my heart sank a little bit lower with every minute. Another hour. Is she even going to show up? I wondered this to myself when I suddenly saw a bright flash of light in front of me.

Luna ran a hoof over her wings and dusted herself off. "Sorry, I know I'm late. Somepony actually wanted me to help them in their dream and I couldn't say no. It is my job as princess of the night of course."

I nodded. "I'm glad somepony is finally accepting you." Luna looked down in disappointment.

"Not really," She said sighing. "The pony got mad with me because I couldn't help her. All I could truly do was give her advice. It helps ponies to gather their courage and face their fears and nightmares by themselves. The pony yelled at me and I left her dream."

"Oh," I said looking down. "Well, on a more cheerful note, I have a great idea on where to go for our first date."

Luna looked up with a smile. She clapped her hooves as she said, "Ooh, where?"

"The castle of the two sisters."

Luna's face went from cheerful to confused. "Me and my sister's old castle? Why there?"

"Because, I thought it would be fun. All the history there is to see there. All of the amazing room and tapestries. It would be amazing. The only problem is that I never have anypony to go with. And everypony knows how dangerous it is to go into the everfree forest alone."

Luna nodded and smile. "Very well then, let's be off."

(At the castle)

Me and Luna sat on the balcony watching the stars. "You know Luna, I've been wishing I could talk to you for a while now."

Luna looked down at me as our eyes met. "Really?"

I nodded up at her. "Do you remember the Summer Sun Celebration two moons ago?" Luna nodded and I continued. "Everypony else was watching as your sister held all of the glory. They were watching the sunrise. Not me though. I was instead watching the shadows where you were hiding."

"What would be the point in me going out?" She asked me. "Ponies would have booed and hated me."

"I understand how you felt Luna. Ponies hate me wherever I go. The only pony who has ever made an effort to talk to me is Cheerilee." I sighed and looked down. A small tear began to roll down my cheek.

I felt a hoof on my shoulder as I heard princess Luna say, "I know how you feel. I feel it too. It's like you go from place to place without ever being talked to. Nopony ever notices you and you just feel..."

"Invisble." I finished for her. We looked at each other and she nodded. I noticed a tear rolling down her cheek as well. I tried my best to lighten the mood. "At least there is one thing that will always stay the same."

"What is that?"

"The beauty of the night."

Luna looked out to the horizon. "Yes. The night is a wonderful thing. I wish more ponies would take a chance to experience it instead of hiding away in their homes, afraid of what might be living in the dark."

I look up at her and say, "I think I found something living in the dark. And I'm glad about it." I smiled at her and looked back out towards the horizon.

I suddenly feel my heart skip what felt like a thousand beats. A pair of warm lips touches my cheek. Princess Luna leaned back quickly as she saw the expression on my face. I looked at her, my face going redder than my mane. "Princess Luna...I-I"
I couldn't articulate a single sentence. "I can't believe..."

I'm cut short as I feel her lips press to mine. I returned the kiss beginning to feel my confidence grow with each second we are connected.

When we both pulled back, Luna said, "You know Emerald, I always hear ponies say that they felt a connection with their special somepony the second their lips touched."

"Yeah?" I ask, my head still a little fuzzy after the experience that had just occurred.

"Yes. I believe I felt that connection with you."

I nodded. "I felt a connection as well. You're the only pony who's ever bothered to engage in a conversation with me that lasted more than five minutes."

Luna smiled. "I think I want to be with you forever Emerald. Will you be my special somepony?"

I look up at her and nod. We both press together in a passionate kiss.

When we finish, I look back out towards the horizon. "How is it already midnight?"

"Time flies I guess." Luna responds looking down at me and smiling.

I decide to gather all of my confidence and ask the big question. I look up at her with a mildly mischievous grin. "You know Luna.."

"Yes?"

"We are alone out here..."
