A Lunar Night
"There you go, Prince. You're getting it now!"
"I'm doing it! Woo hoo!"
SLAM!
"Oh my gosh! Are you alright!?"
Stopping my rolling eyes, I looked into the luscious eyes of the Princess and smiled.
"Perfectly fine, dear," I answered.
"That's good to hear." She told me, nuzzling me with her muzzle.
My name is Lunar Nights and the mare currently nuzzling me would be none other than my marefriend, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Currently, Twilight was teaching me how to fly a bit better and was teaching me some maneuvers for aerial flight. Ironic, right? I'm learning how to fly from Princess Twilight herself. Either way, I appreciate Twilight taking her time to help teach me some better and more precise aerial maneuvers; she doesn't have to do it. I'm very lucky to have the most beautiful and little alicorn as a marefriend and I'm sure she feels the same way to know that the only male alicorn in all of Equestria is her strong, handsome coltfriend.
Being the only alicorn in Equestria that is a colt is a real historic moment, considering the fact that, obviously, there has never been a pony like me before. Not only has that been historic, but I've just recently been crowned as Equestria's newest Prince after spending countless years studying under the guide of the Princess of the Night - Princess Luna - herself. Well...granted that the friendship was taught by Twilight, but everything else I know was taught by Princess Luna.
I have been a very happy colt ever since I met Twilight and was mentored and tutored by her. If it weren't for her teachings or her leadership, I wouldn't be the alicorn that I am today. For that, I am very thankful for because she could have easily said to Princess Luna that she did not want to help me and vise versa; I could have easily told Princess Luna that I didn't want to learn the ways of friendship. With that in mind, either choice made would not have resulted me with my very own set of real life Pegasus wings.
The flight maneuvers I'm trying to learn are relatively easy. Then again, they aren't really much maneuvers as they are aerodynamic tactics to help me fly a bit better and a bit faster. I had just hit a tree going at a pace a little faster than I probably should have and had damaged myself, hurting my wing a little bit. I tended to my wing before Twilight had come down next to me to help me out.
"Perhaps we should call it a day with the aerial practice." I suggested, spawning some bandages and patching up the damaged wing.
Twilight nuzzled me, making me smile and taking my mind off of my pained wing. "That sounds like a good idea." Twilight then looked at my bandaged wing. "How bad did you hurt it, Prince?"
"You know you don't have to call me that, Twilight," I smiled, "other ponies can call me that if they want, but I don't want my very special somepony to do the same. If anything, I should call you Princess, Princess."
Twilight giggled. "You don't have to call me that either. Other ponies could call me that if they want too as well, but not my very special somepony."
I smiled at Twilight, then looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful day outside today in Ponyville and there were no clouds in the sky. Right now, Twilight and myself were in the park by ourselves. We were practicing some flying methods as you know, but now, we were simply relaxing under a tree together.
"You know," I started quietly, "I'm pretty lucky considering everything that's happened in my life, you know that?"
"What makes you say that, Lunar?" Twilight playfully asked.
"Meeting you," I continued, "earning my wings, being crowned a Prince, and having you as my very special somepony...I'd say that I'm a pretty lucky colt."
"I would second that saying, Lunar," Twilight smiled, kissing me on my cheek.
I smiled, looking down into Twilight's eyes. I started leaning in to Twilight's face, ready to kiss her on her lips, only to be stopped by a random Pinkie Pie appearing.
"Hi guys!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
Both Twilight and myself jumped back, startled by the random appearance of Equestria's most random pony. She smiled, bouncing up and down in place, obviously excited about something.
"Hey, Pinkie," Twilight chuckled, "I see you're excited about something."
"Totally!" Pinkie Pie happily shouted.
"What are you excited about?" I asked her.
"It's a secret!" whispered Pinkie as she bounced away.
"I don't think I'll ever understand what drives that pony..." I commented.
"It's just Pinkie being Pinkie," Twilight giggled, "it's just better not to question it."
"So it seems..." I agreed, feeling Twilight rest her head against my body. I smiled as Twilight rested herself against me, looking up into the sky as a cloud started forming and being set into place by one of the Pegasus weather ponies.
But as I do that...I can't but feel that something isn't right...
Eventually, I did manage to fall asleep, resting my head against Twilight's head. Everything became shrouded in a very indigo colored void as I saw Princess Luna walk over to me, long, elegant mane flowing as always. I smiled at her appearance, greeting her as always.
"Hello there, Princess Luna," I smiled, giving a hug to my former mentor, "I'm so happy to see you."
"I wish the feeling was mutual, Prince Lunar," Princess Luna commented, pulling herself back from my hug.
"What makes you say that?" I asked.
"I sense a great evil coming soon," Princess Luna continued.
"A great evil?" I repeated.
"Precisely," Luna nodded, "and you won't like who I've sensed it to be..."
"Who is it?" I asked, eager to know.
Luna slightly trailed off before finally answering me directly. "I've sensed that the great evil...is..." She sighed slightly, looking me into my eyes and approaching me, giving me a hug.
I was confused. "What's going on?"
"The great evil," Luna whispered, "is...you."
