Sgt. Clare, Canterlot castle:

I raced up the castle steps and down the hallways, I really hope that no-pony was on guard outside Luna’s room or my apology was going to be really hard to say. I slid around a corner and raced up a flight of stairs then directly to Luna’s bedroom.

I let out a sigh of relief as I saw that no-pony was on guard, though guards still roamed the hallways on patrols. I walked up to the door and realized I hadn’t thought about an apology. ‘Uhm… Luna I’m real sorry about all this, no that’ll never do… Luna I know that you have feelings for me and… Luna I… Fuck it let’s just wing it’ I thought to myself as I went to knock.

I brought my hand up to the door but stopped as I heard faint crying coming from inside the room, this was going to be really hard or really awkward. I knocked on the door, “Go away, I don’t want to see anyone right now” said the saddened voice of Luna from inside her bedroom. “Luna listen I” I began but suddenly something hit the door and smashed violently, I immediately stepped back.

“I don’t want to see you, just leave!” she yelled and I sighed as I walked back to the door. I couldn’t leave now, I was in too deep. “Luna please just hear me out I” I began again but once again something smashed against the door, though this time I didn’t move my head back, I was actually expecting it. “I said leave, I don’t want to see you anymore” she cried.

I sighed to myself as I took the daring leap of faith and opened the door to peek inside. “Luna please I have to tell you that” I began but a glass vase flew at the door and shattered beside my face. Glass pieces cut into my face a little and it stung my cheek just a tiny bit. I stepped into the room and gently shut the door behind me. She had been crying a lot, I could tell because her bed pillow was soaking wet. Either that or she had spilled water on it.

“Luna I” I tried but she threw another vase at me but I managed to catch it and set it down gently. “Please Luna I need to tell you that”, but she tossed another vase that I caught and set down, shit how many of these fucking things did she have. “Leave at once or I will have you arrested” she threatened.

I took a few steps forward and was beside her bed but she shuffled to the other side. “Please Luna, I know that my words weren’t exactly well thought through and I… shit” I said as she tossed a china set at me, really where the hell was she getting all these fragile things. I ducked and let the china set smash against the wall across the room, jeeze she had a good throw.

“Luna please just hear me out I need to”, but yet again she threw a couple of drinking glasses at me and I ducked them as they flew past me and shattered against the wall. Some-pony was going to walk by and look inside and I was going to get in a shitload of trouble if I didn’t think of a better way to calm her down.

She stood on the other side of the bed , which was about two meters in width. ‘Legs don’t fail me now’ I thought as I took a daring leap through the air, Luna screamed as I landed in front of her. “Luna I need to tell you that” I began but she attempted to blast me with a magical blast from her horn but I leaned to one side, the magical blast flew past me and put a burn hole in the ceiling.

This was going to get bad and I only had one idea left, well actually I never really considered this idea but I did it anyway. I quickly wrapped my right arm under her foreleg and lifted her up to her hindlegs as I put my left hand behind her head and quickly kissed her on the lips. At first she didn’t move and her body was tensed up but soon her body relaxed and she stood on her hindlegs and wrapped her foreleg around my neck and the other around my back.

‘Smooth one, well so much for just winging it’ I thought to myself sarcastically ‘I really hope that I don’t lose my job for this’. Her lips were soft and wet and her fur against my body skin made me feel a little awkward but the thought soon faded as we simply stood there and kissed.

She finally broke away from the kiss. “You are very straight forward” she told me and I shrugged, “What else could I do? You were freaking out and any-pony that saw it would probably think I was trying to kill you or something” I replied. “Does this mean that… you love me?” she asked hesitantly and I nodded.

“Luna, my words back near the hospital weren’t thought through and the reason I was so weary about revealing my feelings was because” I began but suddenly my stomach rumbled and I remembered that I hadn’t eaten since… well yesterday night, I missed breakfast and I had given my lunch to that new guy to get away from him.

“Okay hold that thought, wanna get something to eat?” I asked and she thought about it for a moment and nodded. “I shall call the room service” she told me and I shook my head, “Nah, let’s just go right to the kitchen” I said as I wrapped my arm through hers and led her out of the room.

“Would it not be easier to just order it?” she asked and I shrugged. “Yeah but where’s the adventure in that?” I asked and she gave me a curious look, “Adventure in getting food?” she asked and I nodded. “Let’s pretend that we’re intruders trying to get to the kitchen” I suggested but she shook her head. “Well… okay what do you want to do?” I asked and she gave a sly smile. “We’re the pirates of Equestria on a quest to steal the riches from the royal castle of Canterlot” she snickered and I chuckled at her imagination.

“Alright, so who do you want to be?” I asked and she thought about it for a moment.

Third person, imaginary realm of Luan and Clare:

“Arg matey, I am Captain Blue Beard, the fiercest pirate in all Equestria” Blue Beard said as she pulled out an old saber pirate sword. “And I am Carl, the most sinister pirate to ever to sail the seven seas” Carl laughed as he pulled out two saber pirate swords. They were both dressed in old pirate clothes and Blue Beard had a flowing, almost holographic looking, blue beard and an eye patch on her right eye. Carl had a nasty scar down his face that started at the top left of his forehead and went on an angle across his face. He too had an eye patch but it was on the other eye.

Carl sheathed his swords and pulled out both his musket pistols, “Arg we come here for your treasures and nothing can stop us” Carl sneered as the snuck through the outside window of the fortress castle in Canterlot.

Blue Beard cocked back her right hoof, which had been lost after a fearsome battle with a dragon and replaced with a rotating multi-barrel Blunderbuss. “Hey wait a minute, that’s not fair, you get a friggin arm gun” Carl complained and Blue Beard winked. He sighed at the fact that Blue Beard got better stuff than him.

A flashing light of a sentry approached. “Quickly into the caverns of immense knowledge” Blue Beard ordered and Carl followed her into the unknown of the caverns.

Inside the caverns both pirates breathed heavily as they thought of a new plan. “Quickly we must escape before” Blue beard began but suddenly a terrifying roar echoed through the cavern and both pirates looked in horror as a massive creature approached them.

“Oh no, it’s the mountainous cycloid” Blue Beard gasped and Carl swung up both musket pistols and shot the beast but it refused to go down and instead let out an angered roar. “Quickly, we have to use the Mirror of Destiny. It’s the beast’s only weakness” Carl said as he charged towards the massive beast and lept onto its side.

The beast swatted at Carl but he managed to avoid its swings and distract it long enough for Blue Beard to get the Mirror of Destiny. “Carl, I have the mirror” Blue Beard called out and Carl lept from the beast’s head and landed on the ground near Blue Beard’s hooves. The beast stepped forward but saw its reflection in the mirror and screamed in agony as it died from the sight of its own ugliness and fell backwards. As it hit the ground it erupted into a mess of scrolls and books.

“Ha ha, the beast has been slain” Blue Beard exclaimed. “Hey what do you think you’re doing?” screamed a voice and both Blue Beard and Carl looked to the voice and saw a small troll like creature. “Oh no, it is the knowledge beast keeper. We must run before she calls upon the guards” Carl exclaimed and the both dashed out of the cavern of immense knowledge and back into the hallways of the fortress. The hallways were dimly lit by torches.

Carl grabbed a torch off the wall, “The light of this torch shall lead our way Captain” Carl informed her as they walked down the hallways as stealthily as they could with a burning torch. As they turned the corner of a passageway they spotted a sentry as he walked along his patrol.

Carl quickly put out the torch and they both hid behind a stone pillar as the sentry passed, not noticing them. Blue Beard let out a sigh of relief as they quickly broke from cover and raced around another corner and headed for the treasure room.

The approached the grand atrium and quickly raced across the atrium and to the treasure room but there was one final problem. A sentry had slouched up against the wall for a break. “We need to find a way past… Carl?” Blue Beard asked but she realized her companion wasn’t at her side. She looked back to the guard and saw Carl walk up beside him undetected, the guard was facing the wrong direction to be able to notice Carl approach him.

Carl leaned over and gave the sentry a karate chop to the neck and knocked out the sentry. Carl leaned the sentry up against the wall to make it look like he had simply taken a nap. He waved to Blue Beard for her to join him and she rushed to his side as they entered the treasure room.

Carl and Blue Beard walked into the treasure room and closed the door behind them. The treasure room was huge and inside held all the riches of war, food! Carl and Blue Beard rushed over to the fridges and scourged through the fridges for the best foods.

Being completely uncivil, they both ate without etiquette or utensils and made a large mess in the treasure room. “Alas, we are the richest pirates in all Equestria” Carl boasted but Blue Beard tossed a cup of applesauce at him, Carl ducked the applesauce and it splattered against the wall behind him. “Ah but the greed of war has changed my views matey, I’m taking all the treasure for myself” Blue Beard said as she tossed an apple pie at Carl. The pie splatted against his face and he fell to the ground.

“Ahha finally I shall be the” Blue Beard began but was cut off as tomato sauce splattered against her mane and face. Her face went into a frown as she looked to Carl who had arisen from the dead to take his revenge.

“And now the greatest of allies become the fiercest of enemies” Carl said as he drew out a pirate sabre, Blue Beard did the same and the two positioned themselves as they readied themselves for battle.

Blue Beard swung her sword at Carl but he deflected the swing with his own sword and sparks were emitted as the metal slammed together. The two began to have a furious saber battle in the treasure room.

Blue Beard got the upper hand and kicked Carl in the chest. He back flipped through the air and landed on a treasure table. Blue Beard lept up onto the table, “Sabres are not your weapon of choice young one” she said as the two clashed their swords together. Carl swung his leg out and tripped her onto her back then swung the sabre down but she blocked the swing with her own. Carl tried to bring his sword blade down but she was stronger than he thought she would be.

She kicked her hindleg up and hit Carl in the back with a kick. He flipped forwards from the force and was knocked off the table and onto the floor. Blue Beard lept into the air and tried to bring her own sabre down upon him but he rolled out of the way and her sabre clacked against the ground.

Carl rolled to his feet and readied his sabre as Blue Beard did the same. They charged at each other. As Carl swung his saber he grabbed Blue Beard’s hoof that held the saber, yet Blue Beard grabbed Carl’s Saber hand with her own hoof.

The two entered a stalemate of power as they tried to overpower one another. Carl looked into her beautiful cyan eyes and she looked into his handsome light brown eyes. “The enemies who fought so violently against one another” Blue Beard began, “Could not fight against the other any more out of their love for the other” Carl said, ending her statement.

They both dropped their sabers and wrapped each other in a hug and began to make out. Blue Beard forced Carl to the ground and lay on top of him as she stuck her tongue into his mouth and their tongues began to wrestle in their mouths as they kissed passionately on the floor of the treasure room.

Carl pulled away from the kiss and grabbed an apple that had been knocked onto the cold floor and took a bite out of the apple, “This stuff is good, you should try it” Carl told her as he swallowed the bite of apple he had in his mouth. “Shut up and kiss me you fool” she told him as she forced her lips upon his and they began to make out again.
