- >The light seeped in through the window onto your face.
- >You instinctively tighten your grip on what you assumed to be sheets in opposition to being woken.
- >Only to find that it was not sheets in your grip, but fine fur.
- >Your surprise only lasted a moment as you opened your eyes and saw the pure white Alicorn sleeping under your arm.
- >Right...You were in Celestia's bed.
- >No need to sleep in different rooms after what happened last night...
- >The two of you had high tailed it back to her room after Luna got off the stage, locked the door and posted guards outside.
- >You laid your head back down.
- >Still hard to believe that Luna did what she did...
- >Celestia grumbles next to you and rolls over.
- >Her magenta eyes flitter open and focus on you before she smiles and places a small kiss on your lips.
- >"...Good morning." She sighs out.
- "Good morning. Sleep well?"
- >Celestia closes her eyes and cuddles into your chest. "I must say that this new morning routine is growing on me."
- >You grin and pull the blanket over the two of you.
- "Is that so?"
- >Celestia giggles as you drop your hands down and start tickling her chest.
- >There was a time when seeing the monarch of an entire kingdom reduced to gigglesnorts as you attacked her chest with your fingers was inconceivable, but here it was coming naturally to you.
- >Celestia eventually calmed down and rested peacefully next to you.
- "What's the plan for today?"
- >Here eyes open and gain a serious edge to them. "We must go out into the city, get a feel for how the citizens are reacting."
- >You let out a deep sigh.
- "I agree. But it's gonna be a bit awkward out there."
- >Celestia nods. "I know bu-
- >She is interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
- >"Good morning Princess, I'm here to tell yo-"
- >The two of you pulled down the blankets and looked at the now blushing maid.
- >Her eyes dart between the two of you in bed together.
- >"I- Uh- Breakfast is served!" She shouts as she gallops out of the room.
- >You and Celestia ate a quick breakfast after you armored up and set out into the city.
- >It was...a bit unnerving.
- >Where before you were content to just let the city folk look to Celestia in the awe you were used to, this time it was directed equally to you.
- >The collective faces of the crowd were...odd.
- >They didn't seem angry, or upset at the deception. Only...curious?
- >Even weirder, some of them started bowing to the both of you. In spite of last night.
- >You leaned in to Celestia.
- "Shouldn't we be getting pelted with rotten food?"
- >Celestia glances around to the bowing ponies.
- >"This is...rather curious."
- >The two of you stood in the square, surrounded on all sides by ponies who shouldn't be bowing.
- >Celestia clears her throat. "Rise My Little Ponies! There is no need for that here!"
- >That sounded a little unsure but it got the point across, ponies started to rise to their feet and continue their days.
- "Uhh...thoughts?"
- >Celestia looked down the road. "Perhaps we should speak to the Seneschal about this..."
- >If Celestia and Luna were the heads of Canterlot, the Seneschal was the next one in line.
- >He had his hoof on every aspect of the city from trade to defense to the thoughts of citizens.
- >And that was what you were here for today.
- >The two of you knocked on the Seneschal's door. "Yes, yes, come in!"
- >You stepped inside to see the graying old stallion sitting behind his desk.
- >His face perks up as the two of you walk in. "Ah! M-my lieges! Please do come in!"
- >He walks up to the two of you. "What may I do for you this fine day?"
- >You and Celestia exchange a glance before she leans down.
- >"Seneschal, could you explain to us what is going on here? Why are the citizens not angry with us?"
- >The Seneschal cocks an eyebrow. "Why would they be mad?"
- >You and Celestia exchange another glance.
- >The Senechal smiles. "Princess, you have done an absolutely wonderful job in running Canterlot. The citizens love you, why in Equestria would they be mad?"
- >You finally speak up.
- "Maybe because we got married behind thier back?"
- >"What does that have to do with anything?" He says.
- >There is a cracking sound in your ears as your brain snaps in half.
- >"The announcement was shocking yes, but not horrible. Why, if you had told us about it there might have been a parade!"
- >Celestia shakes her head. "But...what about the royal duties I am expected to keep up with? They aren't mad about their ruler having someone she places before them?"
- >The Seneschal chuckles softly to himself. "Princess you are a pony just as we are, you deserve as much a chance at happiness as the rest of us."
- >You could feel the happiness radiating off of Celestia at the city's approval of your marriage.
- >"Besides, your Prince Consort seems capable of defending himself. I'd say that there is not much that you would have to defend him over the citizens against." He said with a grin.
- >Celestia was positively beaming beside you, a feeling you mirror yourself.
- "Thank you Seneschal, we owe you a debt."
- >You and Celestia bow and walk out the door.
- >"Any time your Highness, any time..." you here chuckled behind you.
- >You and Celestia walked home now after the sun was set and the moon had risen.
- >Well, you walked, Celestia practically skipped home.
- "First they approve of your wedding and now of you skipping outside? What is the world coming to?"
- >Celestia grinned a toothy grin as she orbited around you.
- >"I can't help it! For the first time in however many years this crown feels like something other than a burden!"
- >She snakes around in front of you. "For the first time I can do this!"
- >You feel your shoulders gripped by magic as Celestia leans in and presses her lips against yours.
- >The kiss is long and deep, the first one in public Celestia has ever done.
- >Celestia breaks away from your mouth. "And I can do it among the people to!"
- >She rests her head upon your shoulder.
- >"Anon I have never been so happy in this city in all my life..."
- >You wrap your arms around her neck.
- "I'm happy for you Tia."
- >Your wife nuzzles her head into your shoulder as you break out her seldom used pet name.
- "Tired?"
- >"Exhausted."
- >The two of you had spent the day walking around the city, hearing first hand how the people approved of the two of you.
- >It was nice...to feel so loved.
- >The sound of ponies grunting to your side alerted you.
- >A group of guards were carrying boxes into the barracks.
- >Heavy ones by the look of it.
- >You ran your head through Tia's mane.
- "Why don't you head back to the room and I'll catch up with you after I help these guys?"
- >Tia rubs her snout against your cheek. "Such a dutiful Prince...be quick." She says with a peck.
- >You are Princess Luna and you are not happy.
- >You stood on your balcony overlooking the city.
- >Everything had gone according to plan...until the citizens of this city went and ruined it by siding with your sister.
- >...You needed to get out, start your own kingdom.
- >But not with these fools...
- >You reached out with your senses, feeling the thoughts of all the babes who thought as you did.
- >Yes...they would do.
- >They needed to be young to help you build your new empire, to be molded to the proper way of things.
- >The guards would not be a problem, a simple spell would put them to sleep.
- >And with the city of Canterlot sleeping, you dove off your balcony and began your work.
- >You were Anonymous and you just helped some guards carry weapons and armor into the barracks.
- >You don't remember them being so heavy...
- >Maybe the day has just been getting to you as well.
- >That was going to be remedied, it was time to head to bed with your wife.
- >You relish the simple joy of being able to do that.
- >Right before you reach the castle steps, a wave of vertigo hits you.
- >You steady yourself against the nearby wall and wait for it to pass but it...doesn't.
- >The guards on the battlements and at various doors were falling over too.
- >Th-this was an attack...
- >You start crawling up the stairs.
- >Had to...warn...Celestia.
- >By the time you make it to the third step you pass out.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- >You were Princess Celestia and you had retired to your chambers after a wonderful day.
- >You had been waiting for your husband Anonymous to return after helping a group of guards before you admittedly fell asleep.
- >A short lived sleep however.
- >A wave of magic passes over you and slowly rouses you from your sleep.
- >Anonymous is not next to you.
- >You reach out, both with your magical senses and the link you shared with him for an idea of what was going on.
- >You could feel Anonymous...but only faintly, like he were asleep.
- >And the castle! The castle was bathed in magic!
- >It felt like...a sleep spell?
- >You open your eyes as you withdraw your senses and look out your window at the full moon.
- >"Something is very wrong..."
