I sighed and made a smile to welcome Luna as not trying to be mean to her even though I completely forgot about her.

"Hello Luna yes you may come in and sleep with me but Twilight, Dash and, AJ are also here if you don't mind."

She smiled and walked in. Twilight, Dash and, AJ walked downstairs to greet her saying their hello's and how has it been. Soon after the four mares had a conversation about what has been happening at the kingdom lately. Luna smiled and gave me a look that looked like she was a little puzzled about something.

"Derik I don't mean to sound so rude to you or to the girls, but why are they so ... so close to you?"

I looked around to see that Dash was laying her head on my lap and AJ was snuggled up on my right side. As for Twi she was in my arms and I didn't even know that I was hugging her.

"Oh well you see Luna what had happened was that while you where gone..."

I was about to finish my sentence when Dash had to rudely interrupted me and yell

"DAERIK ASKED ME TWILIGHT AND AJ OUT TO BE HIS MARE FRIENDS AND WE ALL SAID YES!"

I sighed and got ready for the worse. Either Luna would burn my body alive or she would send me to the moon. She looked at me for a second and then ran out with what I think I heard was crying. I ran off letting the three mares alone with puzzled looks all around when I was finally able to catch up to her in the Ever Free forest. I saw her sitting on a nearby rock next to a river. What I soon realized was that she was crying and sobbing. I walked over to her making sure that she knew of my presence and decided to ask her what was the matter.

"Luna what's wrong what has caused you to become so sad all of a sudden?"

She stayed silent for a second and looked away still having tears in her eyes.

"Luna was it something that I did?"

She still didn't look at me but she nodded her head. She finally looked at me and all that I saw in her eyes was betrayal.

"Derik I wanted to ask you to be my colt friend but I can already see that you are already taken by 3 mares."

I rose an eyebrow being confused.

"Umm what does that have to do with anything I could still ask you to be my colt friend if you still want to be"

She grew angry and looked like she was about to hit me. She took in some deep breaths and calmed down.

"We are sorry for acting like a child we understand if you no longer want to be our friend."

I sighed and got a little mad that she would think that a little thing as about to hit me would make me want to no longer be her friend.

"Luna I'm not mad it's ok I understand but that still doesn't tell me why you don't want to be my mare friend."

She gave me a puzzled look and sighed.

"Well I can't compete with the other three mares so I know already that you will just forget about me and not care about me."

That was all it took to make me lose it. I tackled her to the floor and started to do the one thing I knew I could use that would render her powerless. I gave her the biggest tickle attack of her life.

"NO DERIK PLEASE STOP I CAN'T BREATH DERRIK PLESASE I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS!"

I smiled and got off of her so that she could catch her breath while I stood there smiling and letting out a few chuckles. After she caught her breath I smiled and gave her a hug.

"So Luna do I need to convince you that I won't ignore you or do I need to force it into you?"

"N-NO! I think that I got the message. Also how did you know that I was ticklish Tia is the only pony that knows about that and I would never let any pony know about that?"

I giggled and sighed thinking about this morning on what she said in her sleep. I leaned in close to her ears and whispered.

"Be careful where you sleep some ponies can hear what you say in your sleep."

She leaned back in shock at what I said and blushed furiously. I let out a small giggle and sat down with her by my side. I noticed that I still had the cloak on and decided to take of the cloak. I noticed that Luna was shivering a little so I tried to move my wings to hug her. To my amazement I was actually able to move them. She looked over and blushed feeling my head keep her warm. I gave her a smile and looked at the sky with her for about 30 seconds.

"So Luna shall we go back home I bet the girls are worried sick about us leaving them alone for that long?"

She smiled and nodded getting up.

"Oh yeah and one more thing Luna will you do me the honors as to be my mare friend?"

I swear to god I have never seen any pony smile that much rather then Pinkie Pie. She tackled me to the floor and kept on saying yes yes yes over and over again. I was about to pick myself up when I felt that someone was right behind me. I turned around to see Princess Celestia. I bowed showing my respect and Luna smiled walking over to her older sister with much joy wanting to tell he what I just asked her.

"OH TIA YOU WON'T GUESS WHAT HAPPENED DERIK HERE JUST ASKED ME TO BE HIS MARE FRIEND CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ?!"

Celestia looked at her then looked at me. She stood there silent for a second and I knew exactly that look was that she gave me. It was the look that an older and more powerful sister gives her little sister's colt friend saying brake her hear I brake you spine. I started to panic and did the one thing I did when I first met AJ. That's right I ran like a little mare for my life.

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!"

I turned around to see that Celestia was flying right above me. I sighed knowing that flying would be faster then running. I tried to cast a teleporting spell hoping that if I imagine be being in Twilight's house that it would work. To my surprise it did right before Celestia was about to fly right in front of me. Right when i teleported to the house AJ, Dash and, Twilight where looking at me with concerned looks on their faces.

"What happened you look like Celestia was chasing you and that you barely made it out with your life?"

Dash asked concerned about my personal safety.

"G-Good g-guess because that's exactly what happened."

The three mares all gasped and looked at me with shocked faces. Suddenly the door knocked and I was about to run off when Twilight grabbed me with some magic holding me back by my tail.

"Twilight please for all that is holly please let me go so that I can go hide!"

Twilight gave me a glare and asked if Dash could open the door. I sighed and kissed my flank goodbye. Luna came in first with a look of sadness and then Celestia came in with a look of "Confusion?". Twilight and the other bowed down to show their respect to their queens. I was by now shaking in my own skin about to cry. Celestia came right over me towering me like a tower.

"Get up Derik you look like a pony that just thought he saw slender pony."

I did as I was told and got up. As soon as Twilight released me from her magic I bolted for the door to try and make a quick escape. Sadly I was lassoed by one of my mare friends. Twilight and Dash just giggled along with Luna and Celestia. I sighed and gave up all hope and let fate handle the situation.

"Ok Princess Celestia what is my punishment?"

She rose an eyebrow and giggled.

"What are you talking about Derik all I did was look at you then you ran off. When I tried to get close to you, you panicked and teleported Luna and me figured that this is the first place you would try to go and hide and we were right. I was just about to say that I am really happy that my sis had found a nice colt friend."

Celestia and the rest of the mares giggled and I was a little less relieved that it was not what I expected it to be. She asked me if I wanted to go to the other room because she wanted to tell me something. I nodded and wondered what it was that she wanted to tell me. Once we got to the other room she closed the door for the other mares to not be able to hear. Celestia pinned me to the wall so that i wouldn't be able to escape.

"Listen here Derik if you so much as brake my sister's heart I can and will make your life a living tartarus."
