Hello, guys, it's BHG again.

While the eight's LTBC chapter is still on the final production state, I decided to start this spin off about Shadow and Luna, and their relationships. This can be considered as a prequel to LTBC as the events taking place seven years before the LTBC events. Eggman is dead already, and Luna is just a short time after she back from the moon.

I hope you enjoy it.

Early morning. In the city of Station Square on Mobius, the day begins. Gigantic metropolis, reminiscent of the city of Tokyo, was already awake. The cars already full drove through the wide streets of the city, and mobians already hurried to work. There was an atmosphere of a huge business center, whose inhabitants there were only two types. Some worked, others rested. Mirrored skyscrapers reflect sunlight as a water surface, and their unusual shapes create the illusion of the future city.

In one of these skyscrapers, in a huge VIP apartment, a dark hedgehog stood as his eyes was facing the city while he was doing morning exercises. He was wearing black sweatpants, and sneakers, as he performed some kicks and punches by getting ready for the next working day in GUN where he should go soon. After he has finished all the necessary exercises, he took a deep breath, and then he went into his bedroom. He stopped at the door, and leaned against the doorway, a smile appeared on his face and he fixed his eyes on the bed where his alien beauty was sleeping sweetly and peacefully by uttering soft moans. He saw the dark blue alicorn woman enjoys a dream, as she was lying naked with her back turned to him and covered by a velvet blanket to the waist level. Her beautiful mane and tail, sparkling as the night sky, effectively settled on the bed. Shadow shook his head as he found her very cute when she's sleeping, and afterwards he went to her to wake her up. He lay down on the bed, then moved close to her and hugged her around her belly and shoulders. He pressed his body against her, and kissed her on the cheek, before shaking her gently.

"Luna." He called her softly, "Wake up. It's time to get up."

Luna winced in her sleep, and then she groaned sleepily, and stir. She then smiled happily when she felt her beloved's hands around her and burrowed herself deeper into his arms.

"Mmm ... Shadow ..." She moaned softly, "Is it morning already?"

"Yes." Shadow replied simply. Luna smiled even softer as she heard his voice, and then she lay down comfortably, without opening her eyes and moaned again.

"Can we sleep just a little bit?" She asked with an affectionate whisper. Shadow sighed, and then he grinned before he crawled under her blanket. His arms wrapped around her naked body, prompting Luna to smile even happier. She blushed and giggled shyly before her charming turquoise eyes finally opened. She then moved her eyes toward her boyfriend, to meet with his crimson eyes, and with his trademark half-smile.

"I'm sorry but no." He replied, "We have to move out in an hour."

"But you can always teleport there. We are right?" Luna said with a gentle whisper in her voice.

"It's boring. I use teleportation only when absolutely necessary." Shadow said, before he lifted his eyebrow thoughtfully, "But in the other hand…" He then closed his eyes and pressed his head against her neck. Luna felt that it tickled. She giggled, and then began to wriggle gently, feeling how he kisses her. But then her smile faded, and seductive expression appeared on her face as she closed her eyes and began to moan passionately. Shadow took advantage of the situation, and took her breasts in both hands. He began to massage her, thus sending a waves of sensation all over Luna's gorgeous body. Luna was in a complete bliss by feeling Shadow's gentle touches. She bared her teeth, and aaah'ed in passion before she turned her head to him and kissed him passionately. Shadow gladly returned the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her even tighter as he wanted to hold her close. His left hand was wrapped around her shoulders and his left hand he slide down to her belly as he started to massage her there. They kissed for a few minutes before they finished and glanced into each other's eyes. Luna's smile beautiful smile shone brightly as well as her mane and tail and then she closed her eyes by nuzzling her head against his. Shadow smirked at her behaviour as he loved this woman with all his heart and wanted to be with her for eternity.

"Teleporting is boring." Shadow whispered, "Besides, I want to spend more time with you."

"That's it." Luna whispered back, "We could spend this time together, and then you will teleport to GUN with a blink of an eye." She then opened her eyes and looked at him smiling, "It's very simple, as you might see." She then turned her body to face him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She then rested her head on his right shoulder and fluttered her eyes lovingly, "But whatever you choose…" She whispered again, "We're okay with it."

Shadow was still smirking at her, "Then let's spend this time productively." He said playing with his woman, before he kissed her cheek and shook her again, "Come on. Get up. I'll make you a breakfast." He then released her and stood up from the bed, but when he returned back on the floor, he noticed his woman was still lying on the bed and seemed didn't want to stand up. Luna returned back under the blanket and wrapped herself inside. She grinned at her man, playing with him as well. She then fluttered her eyes lovingly.

"Nope." She said jokingly. Shadow's eyes went narrowly as he smirked at her disapprovingly and crossed his arms in the chest area, "Luna, don't play with fire, girl." He said, but Luna didn't even think to surrender, "Or, whatcha gonna do?" She asked playfully again. Shadow grinned at her devilishly as he then kneeled down in front of her grabbed his both arms around her. He then picked her up in a bridal style, along with a blanket. Luna screamed and giggled in joy, as she was glad to be with someone who will do anything for her. She then rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Mmmmm…" She moaned in pleasure, "Shadow…"

Shadow chuckled over her behaviour and then he headed to the bathroom door still carrying her in his arms, "To the princess, you're acting very strange." He noted, "I perfectly saw how strong and powerful you are. Why should I carry you?" Luna giggled and then she opened her eyes and looked into his, still having that beautiful smile, "Every woman wants to be helpless and defenseless sometimes. We're poses as a strong regent for too long." She said, and then she closed her eyes again, "Mmmmm… we just want to take a short rest from being 'strong and independent. Especially with you." She whispered at him tenderly. Shadow sighed as they reached the bathroom door and then he stopped in front and was ready to return her back to her feet.

"Alright, you strong and independent. Go and take a quick shower, and I wait for you in the kitchen." Shadow said to her jokingly and then he returned her back to her feet. Luna took a hold on her blanket to cover her naked body and smiled at him, while Shadow continued his sentence, "Come out whenever you're ready." He spoke, "But do not hold it for long."

Luna then grinned at him playfully, "Maybe you wanna join us?" She asked him with a playful tone in her voice, by being naughty, but Shadow just shook his head disapprovingly and looked at her by raising up his left eyebrow, "Luna, we have no time for IT." He said.

"Well, if you won't do it by your own will, then we'll force you." Luna teased him. After realizing that she's not going to give up, Shadow's grin compared with her and then he stepped closer to his woman and pressed his nose to hers, "Well, you can try, Princess." He teased her, as his voice sounded dark and sexy. Luna developed a massive blush on her face, as she always loved to listen to his voice, and then her horn shone with a dark blue aura. Shadow saw it and then he backed away slowly, but after a short moment, aura surrounded Shadow's arms and Luna pulled him closer to her and wrapped her arms around him and tugged them both inside the bathroom. The door then closed firmly.

Shadow and Luna were now standing in the bath hub by kissing each other passionately with their eyes closed in ecstasy. Shadow was now wrapping his own arms around Luna's exposed back and was running his hands over her. Luna was wrapping her own arms around Shadow's strong neck and moaned herself in pleasure, as she really enjoyed this loving and so desirable kiss. The two were kissing with each other for a quite long time before they finished their kiss. After they opened their eyes they looked at each other again. Luna's massive blush became even deeper and she giggled herself softly as she noticed her man was blushing as well. She then placed her hand on the top of his head and started brushing his hair.

"Shadow, you're blushing." She said jokingly.

Shadow shrugged at her, still smirking, as if didn't notice his own blush, "Whatever. Any man, or sometimes woman, will get blush to see you like this." He said jokingly, before he tightened his grip, "Where did we stop?" He asked teasing her, prompting Luna to giggle again. After that she leaned forward and kissed him again, but this time her kiss was more passionate that before. Shadow gladly returned the kiss, and then he moved his arm to her breasts. He then grabbed her blanket that covered her body and took it off. He then threw the blanket to the door side, and wrapped his arms around his woman again. Luna took her advantage of this situation and then she moved her own arms down on her body and took off his pants along with his trunks. Now the two were completely exposed to each other and moved their way inside the bath hub.

Shadow pressed Luna to the wall and turned on the water, using his left hand, while his right arm was still around the alicorn-princess. Water poured from the shower hose, with a loud hiss, and covered the naked bodies of the two lovers. Shadow then finished their kiss and then he opened his eyes to take another look on his beloved woman to enjoy the sight of her beautiful turquoise eyes. He saw her smiling at him beautifully and smiled in return, not wishing to let her go.

"You know? I think that Commander won't be mind if we be late for ten minutes ... or an hour ..." He said lovingly, "What do you say?"

Luna's naughty grin appeared on her lips and then she spread her wings wide. She fluttered her wings by hinting that she likes this idea. She then brought him closer to her, feeling his strong chest is tightly in contact with her breasts, and then she wrapped her right leg around his torso, thus hinting, that she wants some hot shower.

"We'll say that you're talking too much." She whispered seductively, but Shadow was still working in a playful mode, so he then portrayed a confused look, and looked to the right wall as if thinking over her words. Much to Luna's eyes became wide, as she wasn't really happy that he delaying their moment, "Surprisingly, all the girls who know me say that I talking too little." He said in a puzzled tone fake, and then looked at her in that moment when she frowned at him in a rage, knowing that he was teasing her, "Maybe you're mistaking some words?" He asked he, by making a look that he didn't see her frown.

Luna groaned in displeasure, and then she pulled him closer, prompting him to grin at her, "Shut up, and take us all!" She ordered. Shadow didn't think for long at this time and decided to act first. He tightened his grip around her and picked her up slightly, for her neck was on the level of his mouth, and then he started to kiss her soft and sensitive neck. Luna's eyes grew wide because of his sudden actions and gasped deeply and loudly.

"Aaaahhhhhh…" She moaned, before closing her eyes as she felt her body relaxing and wrapped her arms around his neck even tighter. She squeezed his wet hair with her right hand and ahh'ed passionately, not wanting him to stop.

Shadow placed deep and warm kisses all over Luna's graceful neck. His strong arms are wrapped around her gorgeous body, and slipped on her back from the bottom to up, and caressed her lovingly. He was about to sucking her neck for two more minutes before his lips started their way down on her body. This prompted Luna to tighten her grip and to moan harder as she knew where it's going. And that's was exactly what she wanted.

One and a half hour later.

After some time, you can see Shadow and Luna sitting beside the kitchen table and enjoying their breakfast. The two were now both dressed, cleaned and dried. Shadow was wearing a brown leather jacket, blue jeans and black T-shirt, and Luna was wearing a black leather jacket over the pink sleeveless velvet Peplum top, thigh fitting black skinny jeans and black shoes on her feet. Luna was eating some spaghetti by wearing a smile on her face as it was so tasty that she literally moaned herself in pleasure.

"Mmmmm... " She moaned with a delightful smile on her lips as s he swallowed her food and then she looked at Shadow, "Shadow, it's so tasty. You're really a master of cooking."

Shadow was already finished with his own breakfast and was writing a message on the phone, "Thanks Luna. I simply had no other choice but to learn about how to cooking. When you leave alone, you have to survive somehow." He said simply, still looking on his smartphone screen. Luna giggled over his behaviour and then she finished her breakfast and used her magic to wipe the leftovers from her mouth. After that she levitated her plate over the sink, and washed her dishes still using her magic. As she finished with washing the dishes, she nodded to herself confidently and turned to Shadow, to see him still writing something on his phone. She then rose from her chair and went over to him. She snuggled to him from behind and wrapped her own arms around his chest. Resting her head on his shoulder, Luna glanced inside his smartphone screen, still smiling. Her long hair fell on the screen, and closed Shadow's vision, prompting him to smirk disapprovingly and turning his gaze to her eyes. Luna giggled awkwardly and used her hand to remove her hair onto her back.

"Sorry." She apologized. Shadow winked at her, before they both glanced at the smartphone screen, "Mind if we watching your messages?" She asked him. Shadow shook his head simply, "Nope." He said, "You can watch."

"So who is Rouge the Bat exactly?" Luna asked him referring the person with whom Shadow was talking through the messenger.

"She's my GUN partner." Shadow answered with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Luna's face flashed with curiosity, "Oh so that's how she looks like?" She noted, and smiled, "And as far as we can see you're trying to talk her out of retirement?" She then looked at him to meet with his crimson eyes. Shadow's face expressed a slight annoyance, "Yeah." He answered, "We were working together for ten years, and now she's stating that she found herself a new job, that related with her treasure hunting works, and decided to switch to it." He then glanced back at the phone screen. Luna sighed over his words, before nuzzling her head against his, "How long you have to work to find Eggman's supporters?" She asked with her voice having a tone of sadness.

"Without having a partner? Years, maybe a decades." Shadow said by being irritated, "These bastards are hiding too well, and it's hard to find them."

"Mind us to help you?" Luna asked gently. Hearing her suggestion, Shadow widened his eyes, and looked at her with a surprised look on her face, to see her smiling at him lovingly, "We can ask our sister to give you the needed resources, and we are very good with computer techniques, so we can personally to find those criminals you're looking for." She said with a gentle and loving tone in her voice. Shadow smiled at her in response and took her hand gently, very glad that she cares about him.

"It will be very nice of you, princess." He said, "But I don't want to use your high position. Let me try to begin to solve this problem on my own, and then we'll talk. Good?"

Luna winked at him, "As you wish." She whispered, and kissed his cheek. Shadow then send the message and turned off the smartphone screen. He then hid it in his jacket's inside pocket, and took Luna's arms, as he looked inside her eyes and smirked, "Alright, princess, we have to go." He said. Luna nodded at him and then she released him and headed to the exit door. Shadow followed her shortly after. As they reached the door, Shadow put on his black boots onto his feet and took his girlfriend's handbag. After he opened the door for Luna, he looked at her with a smirk and motioned her to the exit, as if saying 'Ladies first.". The alicorn woman smiled at him playfully and fluttered her eyes lovingly as she headed to the exit door. After she left Shadow's apartment, her boyfriend followed her and locked the entrance door. He then stood next to his girl. Luna took his arm firmly and then the two headed to the elevator doors.

"So we'll teleport?" Luna started the conversation.

"Nah …" He said with a sarcastic tone in her voice, "It would be too simple." He then looked at her, "Besides, you'll probably want to look at the city. You been here before?", Luna shook her head, still smiling, "No." She answered, "Celestia was here. She said that she didn't find anything interesting in here."

Shadow shrugged, "Whatever." He said, "You're not going to stay in my apartment for days on end. Right?"

Luna smiled at him, "we got your thoughts." She said, as she guessed of what he meant, "You're right, we will be better if we'll see the city streets to see where we need to go.", Shadow couldn't help but chuckled slightly on her manner to speak herself in a in plural. Luna didn't get why he laughed and looked at him with wide eyes, "Shadow, why are thou laughing?" She asked him with a surprised tone in her voice. Shadow stopped his laughter and looked at her with a smirk, "Oh, it's nothing, my Princess." He said as he gently ran his fingers over her lips, what prompted her to blush in embarrassment, "Your manner to speak to yourself in plural is impossibly cute.", Luna gasped as he said this and then she turned away from him, and hid her burning face behind her mane. Shadow chuckled himself again, and then he sighed himself in relief and looked forward again. The two then reached the elevator door and stopped in front of it, and Shadow pushed the button. He then looked at Luna whose face was now opened and spoke.

"And what about this Nightmare Night, you're talking about a month ago?" He suddenly asked, what prompted her to turned her eyes at him, "I hope it went fine.", Luna smiled at him and nodded, "Oh, yes, Mr. Ultimate LifeForm. It was totally awesome… *giggles*... Though, it didn't went fine in the very beginning, because, it's been a thousand years since my last time when we was on a massive celebration like this, so I didn't know about how to communicate with locals, but this girl, Twilight Sparkle, Tia's student, she showed us how to communicate and the celebration went well." She then nuzzled at him, "It's a pitty that you refused to go there with us. You would have had a great time."

Shadow, though, sighed in annoyance, when she spoke with him about the Nightmare Night, and his eyes went narrowed, "Oh, hell no." He grumbled, prompting Luna to giggle, as she always found his dark nature very amusing, "To go to the massive celebration, and to listen to how some unknown bookworm girl teaching me on how to live?... *sigh*... I'd rather be drunk until blue in the face, and then ran around drunk and naked through the streets of Central City, until the police caught me and put in jail."

Luna then grinned devilishly, "It can be arranged." She said teasing him. Shadow looked at her with wide eyes, "What?" He asked in a surprise. But his girl just shook her head disapprovingly as she smirked.

"Shadow, you're such a grumbler." She said, playing with him. Shadow's eyes narrowed as she understood that she teases him again, "I am not." He said, as the elevator doors opened and the two entered inside. Luna pressed the underground parking button and turned to her man as she squeezed his arm tightly with both of her hands.

"Oh, you so are." She said teasingly, "You're grumbling about everything. The celebration is always normal and does not need to grumble about it. Besides, I was there and I liked it."

"I am glad you spend a good time, Luna." Shadow said with his voice sounded monotonical, "Alright, let's not bring up this topic again."

"Deal." Luna answered with a nod before the elevator doors closed.

And so, it's just a first chapter. If you'll like it, I continue this story, and it will be my another long story along with LTBC. RFF please and be free to leave your thoughts. It will help me a lot.
