Luna and Celestia basked in the sunlight as they ran around like foals. Celestia chased Luna easily getting evaded by the young alicorn. Astin watched carefully from the chair in the living room as they pounced on each other waving their wings in the playful fight.
He closed his eyes feeling the warm sun on his eyelids purring slightly. After a while, he fell into a peaceful slumber. Suddenly, a wet object slid across his cheek making him shiver and open his eyes reluctantly.
There stood the two alicorns flapping their wings excitedly. "Wanna fly with us, Astin?" Celestia asked with a pant most likely from chasing Luna.
Astin tilted his head "Like ride on you?" he questioned to which Luna responded with a nod. Astin walked outside "I don't want to hurt you guys or weight you guys down..." he said looking at the blue sky. Celestia snorted crouching down to let him on her back.
Astin reluctantly slid his leg over her struggling a bit but with some help from Luna he got into the correct position. "Hold on to my neck" Celestia said opening her wings.
Astin cautiously wrapped his arms around the mare's neck in an embrace before she started galloping into the clearing. Astin noticed that the fence was getting closer and closer to them. "Tia...The fence!!!" He cried closing his eyes as the mare rolled hers jumping up and flapping her large wings.
Luna followed quickly behind giggling as the human held on to Celestia for dear life screaming. Slowly the ground grew farther and the house became smaller as they flew through the skies. The clouds were so close your could reach out and touch them.
"Open your eyes, Astin" Celestia said in a motherly tone with a smile. Astin slowly cracked open his eyes but quickly closed them when he saw how high he was. "We're so high, Tia!!!" He screamed. Celestia blushed as he called her 'Tia' but didn't pay it much mind.
Luna flapped her wings smirking to Celestia in a silent inside joke. Celestia laughed and started to speed up following Luna as they glided through the skies. Astin opened his eyes slowly and looked up to see the sun. His heart pounded with adrenaline.
The sun reflected off of Celestia's mane making it come alive with a new found beauty. He let out a light squeal of excitement as Celestia and Luna made a sharp turn. "Dear sister, your mane glows even more vibrantly than in Equestria!" Luna said in awe making Celestia give a modest smile and blush. Astin gave her a big smile.
Luna looked mischievously towards the human before lightly bumping him with her wing making him scream like a girl. "Don't do that" He wheezed holding his chest as Luna giggled evilly. "Let us race back to the house, dear sister" She suggested with a smile.
Celestia smirked "I assure you that I haven't gotten rusty while you've been away" She boasted confidently. Luna rolled her eyes "Astin thou art the ref" She said giving Celestia a dirty look.
"Alright then, Ready..." Astin started. Luna puffed up her chest spreading her wings to its full span. "Set..." He said. Celestia remained calm and confident shuffling her position so the human would be comfortable on her back.
"G-Go!" he hesitated before the two alicorns shot off at almost neck breaking speeds. Astin could see his whole city quickly growing larger on the horizon "Woah..." he gasped. Celestia was ahead of Luna by an inch much to Luna's dismay.
She pushed herself flapping her wings and bursting in front of Celestia. "GET HER TIA!!! DON'T LET HER WIN!!!" Astin bellowed pointing at the dark alicorn whose mane was fluttering beautifully in the wind. Celestia let out a small laugh before flapping her wings and with a powerful burst the two alicorns were neck and neck.
"WOOOHOOO!!!" Astin yelled holding up one of his fists as Celestia swooped down towards his yard next to Luna. Astin held on tightly as Celestia hit the ground at the same time as Luna galloping towards the house.
Astin hopped off Celestia and quickly fell to the ground making Celestia and Luna look at him worriedly. Suddenly a loud laugh filled the air as Astin flipped on his back looking up at the alicorns "That was awesome" He said in awe. "Twas a tie" Luna said shaking her head in mock disappointment. Celestia stuck her tongue out at her sister with a goofy smile.
The alicorns stifled a giggle with their hooves laying down next to him. Astin smiled feeling the warm sun that was now setting below the horizon painting the sky various shades of blue, pink, and, orange with a dash of red.
Celestia and Luna watched the human with small smiles of their own before giving him two kisses on each cheek. "Love you" They all said at the same time. The roared with laughter and giggles before walking back inside ending their day...
