"Are you crying?" Luna whispers to Eclipse after a few moments had passed
"No..." Eclipse denies as Luna stares incredulously "... Maybe. What. am I not allowed to cry after finally seeing my wife after a thousand years?" Eclipse whispered back
"Fair enough" Luna she put her head back nuzzling his neck.
"As tough as it is for me to break this up we need to head back and get Luna acquainted with everything current." Celestia interjected.
"Sister's right we need to head to the new castle." Luna agreed as she pulls back to look at Celestia
"Hey Lulu" Eclipse nudges Luna. She turns to him
"Yes?" She questions.
"Did I ever tell you my idea about ovens in every room in the castle?" Eclipse asks smirking.
"Only many, many times" Luna looks at Eclipse and deadpans.
"And." Eclipse hinted
"Not going to happen. Ever." Luna insisted.
"I know that. I just like messing with the two of you about it." Eclipse simpered.
"I had a feeling that was your reason" Luna facehoofs. While Eclipse and Luna are talking a different conversation is happening between Twilight and Celestia.
"Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?" Celestia questions
"That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them." Twilight says downtrodden.
"Eclipse" Celestia starts. Eclipse looks over from his conversation.
"Yes?" he responds
"Take a note please." Celestia asks
"Alright" he pulls out a parchment and quill.
"I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville." Celestia announced.
"Oh thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before!".Twilight vowed excitedly.
"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I went *loud gasp* but I mean really-" Pinkie Pie started quickly until Rainbow Dash put a hoof over her mouth
"Calm down there Pinkie you don't need to talk everyone's ears off " Rainbow Dash snickered.
"Does she always talk that fast." Eclipse asked a bit bewildered.
"Yup" Rainbow Dash responded.
"Oh, I don't think we've been introduced. My name Is Eclipse Blade, but you can just call me Eclipse." Eclipse greeted holding out his hoof.
"Nice to meet ya. I'm Rainbow Dash the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" She boasted as she shook his hoof.
"You sure you're the fastest flyer in all of equestria." Eclipse quipped
"Yeah! I gotta be if I want to join the wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash retorts.
"You want to join the wonderbolts?" Eclipse asks.
"Yeah! It's my dream to join." she revealed..
"Heh with that kinda drive I don't doubt you could get in" Eclipse chuckles.
"Of course I'm going to get in. I'm too awesome not to." Rainbow Dash asserted.
"Rainbow you want some advice from someone as old as the princesses" Eclipse hinted.
"Wait you're as old as the princesses!" She exclaimed.
"Yup, Them and I go way back." Eclipse affirmed
"How far back?" Twilight joins in on the conversation because as long as she has known Eclipse she never asked how old he was.
"Far enough that he helped us build the empire" Celestia interjected as she and Luna went by Eclipse.
"But-but Equestria is over 9000 years old!" Twilight sputtered a bit bewildered at how old Eclipse is.
"Did you have to go and make me feel old." Eclipse mumbled digging at the ground.
"Eclipse, with how long we have lived you should have gotten over that already" Celestia sighed putting a hoof over her muzzle.
"That doesn't mean I like to be reminded of it." Eclipse pouts crossing his forelegs.
"My husband's inner foal aside" Luna drawled ignoring Eclipse's 'Oi!' "Yes, he is as old as we are." she continued
"Now that we're done talking about my age, Rainbow do you want my advice?" Eclipse offers hoping to change the subject.
"Sure, lay it on me." She responds
"Ok, what I can say is if you keep that kind of energy toward your goal I have no doubt that you will make it far, but just remember to keep your friends and family in your heart as you work toward that goal and you will surpass it by miles." Eclipse lectured.
"Well said Eclipse, but now we need to be going" Celestia reminded
"Ah that's right" Eclipse remembers
"Does that mean we won't be able to play games anymore," Twilight said to Eclipse a bit sad. She liked playing games with him when he was able to, since he was one of the ones to watch her when she was a little kid alongside Cadence.
"Of course not" Eclipse reassured while putting a hoof on her head and messing with her mane." we'll still be able to play games just send me a letter."
"Agh! stop that!" Twilight said waving a hoof. He stopped. "You know I don't like that" she pouted
"I know. I just like to mess with you." Eclipse smiled "now come here I'm not going see you for a while," he said as he brought her into a bear hug practically crushing Twilight.
"Crushing… not… hugging" Twilight gasped out. He put her down and she caught her breath. "Why! why do you always do that!"
"To show I care about ya," Eclipse smirked as he messed with her mane again.
"Funny way of showing it" Twilight muttered swatting at his hoof
"Ooh! ooh! could I get a hug too!" Pinkie said excitedly.
"I don't see why not" Eclipse shrugged
"I wouldn't do that Pinkie" Twilight warned.
"Why! Hugs are the greatest!" Pinkie exclaimed as she jumped on Eclipse and gave him a hug so hard that you could hear his armor creaking from the stress.
"Woah. we got a strong one here." Eclipse forced out he returned the bear hug
"Yay! Hugs!" Pinkie said completely unaffected and somehow hugged harder.
"Oh my... You can stop the hug now." Eclipse practically gasped out patting Pinkie on the back.
"Aww" Pinkie released from the hug
"That... was... interesting…"Eclipse said between breaths.
"Don't I give the bestest hugs!" Pinkie beamed.
"You certainly gave one of the strongest." Eclipse remarked noticing the dents she left in his armor.
"Yay!" Pinkie cheered bouncing in place.
"Well it has been fun meeting you all, but we must be on our way" Celestia informed before teleporting herself and Luna to the castle
"Cya Sparks don't forget to send a letter, and goodbye everypony," Eclipse said as he patted Twilight on the head then departed to the castle.
