Luna smiled. "Well, you are my subject now. At last, I have a real living subject after so many centuries all alone. Nobody to talk to me, nobody to serve me,and now I have you." She joyfully cantered in little circles around Diamond Tiara, looking at her from every angle. Noticing her cutie mark of a coronet,she whinnied happily. "And you are a noble too! I appoint you here and now to the rank of General of my army." She moved her regal head close to the coronet cutie mark and planted a soft kiss upon it, much to Diamond's surprise. Whilst "kiss my cutie mark" was a common saying normally said when a pony really didn't want to do something and a pony that was sycophantic and servile to his or her boss was known as a "cutie mark kisser" kissing a cutie mark was something done only in the privacy of the bedroom between lovers. Diamond blushed. Even exiled as she was, she still respected rank, and this was an alicorn who had once ruled Equestria kissing her in an intimate place. What if Luna has turned bisexual or lesbian? What if she wants to make love to me? It must be so long since she made love to anypony.Even if she does...I'm straight, but if I have to make love with a mare...one could not do better then an alicorn, the rarest type of pony in the world. She shivered slightly as Princess Luna was now warmly licking her cutie mark as if it was a toffee apple.

"General of the army? Thank you but...where is it?"

"There it is, drawn up right in front of you." Luna pointed with a hoof at the piles of rocks that she had piled up centuries ago, slab by slab and stone by stone, into roughly pony-like shapes. "They are well trained, loyal, everything a general could want. If we could get them off this blasted moon, there would be enough of them to retake Equestria by force if need be. I could have done with them earlier."

Diamond counted twenty-one of them. Even if they had been real soldiers instead of mere piles of rock and dust, there were not enough to hold anything bigger then a farm or maybe a small hamlet or village. "How many...soldiers do you have in your army?" she asked. She sensed it might be dangerous to tell Luna that her army consisted of a few rock piles.

"Twenty-one thousand," Luna said. "And that's just the army, I have hundereds of thousands of loyal subjects here, and they all love me and worship me and are pleased to have me here. There are no dissidents here, no nasty Celestia-lovers, not one. If you are wondering where they all are, they sleep underground during the day for the most part, and come out at night where we party together, Except on Friday, that's law court day where I act as Chief Judge and also meet ponies asking for a royal favour."

She's gone totally insane, I'm all alone here with a babbling insane alicorn Princess for the rest of my life. But she won't kill me...if she does that she will be all alone with my body. I wonder if within a few years I will be as crazy as her? No, I'll never be like that. She stepped back in shock and almost fell into a crater as Luna had just run her tounge along her horn, one of the most sensitive parts of any unicorn. She must be sex crazy after having only herself to clop with for so many years. Hopefully she won't feel that way indefinatly....hey, this feels good, this feels really good...I want more of it...don't stop now... Luna pulled her tounge away and lightly tapped Diamond's horn, and Diamond almost fell over as a wave of sexual pleasure ran through her whole body.

"I also make you my consort and lover," Luna said with a smile. "Now, tell me, what has been going on in Equestria recently? I'm very interested in almost everything that has happened."

Sweetie Belle thought to herself of how she had become a spy. The injured griffin she found, it's side ripped open and still bleeding from pegasus lances and a big hole torn in a wing, looked harmless and near death and she felt sorry for him. Sorry enough to teleport him back across the border to the outskirts of the nearest Griffin city where he could escape death or capture and get his wounds tended to. A few hours later a letter had teleported to her asking if she would agree to help the Griffin nation for bits, and she had teleported back a reply saying yes. And the best thing about it was, that she had successfully framed that brat Diamond Tiara and as a result, was now in the clear. Then she noticed Apple Bloom and Scootaloo staring at her. "Is something wrong. Why are you staring at my...?" Her flank was no longer blank. Instead there was a cloak and dagger cutie mark upon it. Great, I've finally got my cutie mark, and if I'm not careful it could give me away as it is the cutie mark of a spy. She jumped for joy and galloped around in a circle for a few seconds,as her friends hugged her.

"So what does it mean?" Scootaloo asked.

"Oh it...it's a hide and seek cutie mark," Sweetie Belle lied. She was truelybhappy to get her cutie mark, but wished it was not something that could very well betray her as the spy who got an innocent pony sent on a one way Moon trip.
