PSYCHOPATH - You flatter me good sir. I'll continue to do my best to bring you and your friends a story you can enjoy.

INGENman - Yeah, it kinda sucks, but such is the price of immortality... I'll let you know now; I only have one addition to the herd left, but it's not Lyra, I have other plans for her.

HeadBangingBrony - Actually, my chapters each run around 4k words apiece, so I can make sure they're all around the same length. You're welcome, I can't imagine many people would have wanted to read that (including myself), so I didn't include it. Unfortunately, between work and other obligations, I simply don't have time to get enough done for two chapters, which is why I put the poll up for a page; if I could earn some extra money through that, I could lower my hours at work and would have enough tine to get more done.

UnknownHero55 - I always try to give this story my al, so I'm always glad to hear that people enjoy it.

KingTobi - Thanks for that :) I've had to eat the stuff too, and it was nauseating to say the least.

KillerWoW - Lol yeah, it sucks, don't it?

centaurus2 - Lol I did kinda want to throw in a few aspects of gamer Luna without putting in a whole bunch of stuff about bringing consoles to Equestria and whatnot. As far as age difference, you have to remember that Alicorns are immortal beings, so the passage of time isn't perceived by them the same as it is by us, so (to me at least) it's entirely plausible that they could been born hundreds of years apart; or in their case, around a thousand. But that's a topic for another chapter.

DragonLovingBrony - Yeah, I'm honestly kind of regretting doing that to be honest. Maybe I'll redo it and repost it as a separate short story. Yeah, it would have been pretty cruel to make them live with those memories, though that's not to say that this is the last we'll see of them...

A/N - Howdy everypony! Glad to see everyone reviewing and continuing to enjoy my story! I don't have much news this week, other than to wish Cyb3rPony a Happy Birthday! (Sorry I couldn't give you a double update, I don't have enough chapters in reserve for that) All I can really say is keep being awesome and remember to check out UnknownHero55, centaurus2, and DragonLord RyuKizoku for their stories. As always, don't forget to follow/favorite, review, and most importantly; enjoy!

The next week was spent in comfort, Luna and I spending as much time together as we could. After her confession, she became even more open with her affections than she had before, not that I was complaining.

Finally, the day came when I was to return to the hospital to have my casts removed. I was excited and nervous at the same time; while I knew there wouldn't be any pain involved, there would still be a lot or readjustment as I spent the next week or two stretching my unused ligaments and building my atrophied muscles back up. There was also the concern of what sort of muscular damage Nightmare Moon's spell might have caused.

Celestia stayed behind to tend to her daily duties as Luna and I sat in the carriage, making the trip to Canterlot General. Luna had a wing draped over me and was resting her head on my shoulder. "I am glad you shall finally be free of this contraption my love. You have spent far too long suffering in your recovery from the attack."

"You're not the only one, I want to get back up and get to work, I feel like I'm wasting away."

"… I was not going to mention this, but your muscles have become noticeably smaller than they once were."

I sighed and looked down at my casts. "Unfortunately, that's one of the drawbacks of being in a cast for any length of time; your tendons stiffen and make it hard to move and your muscles atrophy since they're not being used."

"Perhaps I shall pay a visit to the Starswirl the Bearded Wing of the palace library; there may be a spell that can aid in your recovery. Starswirl was well known for his research into time-altering spells, though that was not his only area of expertise."

I smiled and kissed the beautiful mare. "Thanks Luna, that'd mean a lot to me."

She nuzzled my cheek. "Think nothing of it my love." She moved her head to the side to whisper into my ear. "If all else fails, I can think of another way to aid in your recovery." I shivered at the obvious implications as well as the desire in her whispered voice.

I kissed her again with more passion. "You'd better not be teasing me…"

She caressed my cheek with a hoof, free of its slipper. "I would never dream of it my love." She looked me straight in the eyes. "Though I will warn you now… there has never been a stallion to warm my bed." She looked down at the floor.

I cupped her chin in my hand and turned her head up so she was looking me in the eye. "That's nothing to be ashamed of Luna. That shows me that you have not only indomitable restraint, but incredible self respect as well; a lot people on Earth don't have that, and they give away their virginity, their most sacred gift and treasure, to the first person their hormones tell them to."

She smiled slightly. "Do you truly mean that?"

I moved my hand up and stroked her cheek. "You know I do Luna. I can't imagine how hard it must've been to resist those base urges for so long; and honestly, I'm proud of you for that."

She smiled and moved in to kiss me again, though the carriage coasted to a halt just as our lips met, pulling Luna and I apart. She moved back again, though we were once again interrupted by a knock on the carriage doors. 'We've arrived your Highness." Came the voice of a female guard from the other side.

Luna sighed and turned away from me, though the look on her face told me that was the last thing she wanted to do. She opened the door with her magic and stepped out into her sister's sunlight. I realized that I had never really given much thought as to why that was necessary and made a mental note to ask how and why they needed to move their respective celestial bodies. Heh… Luna certainly has a heavenly body…

"Thank you sergeant, we shall return when our business is concluded." I made it to the entrance of the carriage just in time to see the female night guard salute Luna.

As I made my way down the ramp, the two night guards threw me a silent salute as well. I made my way past them with a nod to each, quickly catching up to Luna and pulling alongside her as she waited for me. "Ok, I know why they saluted you, but why did those two salute me?"

She smirked and gave me a sidelong look. "Is it not obvious? Even if they were unaware of your impending knighting, they are aware that you saved both myself and my sister, the two ponies they have sworn their lives to protect, from the jaws of death. Not only that, they understand the valor you displayed when you did so while not only ill-equipped, but gravely injured as well. I believe it is safe to say that you have earned the respect of every guard under Equestria's banner. I would not doubt that even the guards protecting my niece and her husband have heard of your deeds by now."

I looked straight ahead. "That's a lot to take in… I just did what I knew was right," I looked over to her. "I don't want ponies bowing and saluting me for something like that. A hand- err, hoofshake or a pat on the back, sure, but not all this."

Luna stopped right outside the hospital doors and I followed suit. "I understand how you feel my love, but you must understand that, as a Knight, these are things you must acclimate yourself to; once you are officially knighted, it will be not only our guards, but everypony that shall be treating you in such a fashion."

I looked into her eyes and nodded. "You're right. I kind of knew that from the beginning, I've just never been very big on being praised… and I think I know who to blame for that."

"As do I. Though please, this is to be a happy occasion, let us not ruin it with memories of a long-gone past."

I sighed heavily. "Thanks Luna… you don't know how many times you've been my rock since I came here."

She giggled and opened the door for me. "That is the corniest thing I have ever heard, though I appreciate the sentiment."

We entered the lobby and signed in for my appointment before taking our seats and waiting. I found a Daring Do book to read while Luna read a magazine that I couldn't see the title of. After nearly an hour, the nurse finally me back, Luna opting to tag along rather than staying in the waiting room.

The procedure was fairly standard; the nurse situated me on a table with Luna's help before pulling out what looked like a nightmarish Dremel with a small circular saw blade attached to the end to cut the casts off of my leg, arm, and hip.

As soon as the cast came free from my hip, the nurse's face turned a fiery red while a deep pink dusted Luna's cheeks. The nurse excused herself, claiming to be leaving to fetch the doctor. Luna leaned and whispered in my ear. "The gods certainly seem to have blessed you, my love."

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Come on now, surely any stallion has to be better off than me; there's a reason humans consider being 'hung like a horse' to be a good thing."

She giggled again. "You must remember; Earth horses are more than twice as large as an Equestrian pony, and their bodies are proportional to that smaller size."

I opened my mouth to comment, but I was cut off by a knock on the door. Man, that happens a lot around here… The doctor walked in a moment later, Luna quickly draping a sheet over my lap in an obvious attempt to save my dignity.

"Good afternoon mister Marshall, I just need to do a quick check to make sure your injuries are completely healed, and then you're free to go home. Now, from what I understand, you're already aware of what's necessary to recondition yourself after so long being immobile."

I nodded. "I've been in a cast or two, yeah."

"Good, then I won't bore you with what you already know. Now, let's start with that arm."

The doctor checked me over and, finding nothing wrong, cleared me for travel. That meant I could finally go back to Ponyville and see everypony; my friends, my other marefriends, and little Scootaloo, who must've been miserable not being able to come up and see me as she no doubt wanted to.

As we reentered the carriage, I looked over to see Luna with a somber expression. "Hey Luna, what's wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh, it is nothing."

"Come on Luna, you know I know you better than that. Something must really be bothering you for you to show it."

She looked over to me. "Very well… I do not want you to leave; I have come to enjoy your presence. I know that is selfish of me, but it is how I feel. I also know that it would be unfair to keep you away from those in Ponyville who care about you any longer. So I will not keep you."

I grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug, the Lunar princess yelping in surprise at the abrupt action. "I know how you feel Luna; I feel the same way… I don't have to leave right away you know, I could always leave in the morning."

She smiled at me. "I would love to spend one final night with you before you leave. Though allow me to search the library before we do so…" She paused as she seemed to think about something. "Actually, you may accompany me if you would like; perhaps you can find something within Starswirl's many recordings that would pertain to your species, or perhaps you may discover something that I would overlook."

I gave her a peck on the lips. "Sure, that sounds like it might be fun."

And so we headed to the castle, making our way to the library. There, we spent a few hours poring over the various tomes and scrolls littering the many shelves. I gawked as I came across yet another row of shelves I hadn't yet seen. "Holy crap! There's way too much here to have been written by one pony…" I thought for a moment. "Unless… did he somehow live through an extended lifespan as well?"

Luna trotted up to me. "You are correct Blake, Starswirl the Bearded did indeed live far longer than an average pony. His tale is how we knew your own life would be extended by my gift."

I turned to ask her what she meant, but stopped short as the meaning clicked in my mind. "So he got a transfusion of Alicorn blood as well?"

Luna nodded before turning to the shelf to her left. "Yes, Starswirl was gravely wounded in a griffon incursion, and my father gave him some of his own blood to save the life of his dearest friend. Ah, I believe I have found what we are looking for!"

Luna quickly read through the battered old scroll before igniting her horn and enveloping me in her magical aura. I resisted the urge to cry out as the feeling of a freezing heat, like Icy-Hot, suddenly started coursing through my veins, threatening to overwhelm me.

The sensation died off the instant Luna's aura dispelled and I gasped in relief. "Are you alright!?"

I waved a hand in the air in an attempt to dismiss her concerns. "I'm fine, just didn't expect it to hurt is all."

"I am so sorry! The scroll said nothing of pain during the process."

"It's alright; it was more an unexpected discomfort than actual pain." I told her reassuringly.

I took a deep breath to steady myself and looked down. I was amazed to see my limbs no longer looked atrophied, in fact it seemed as though I had never even been injured, save for the various scars adorning my body. I grunted as I tried to stand, Luna rushing to my side, though it was unnecessary as I was able to stand as though I had only just sat down.

"This is amazing Luna! Is this some kind of healing magic?"

She scratched her chin for a moment. "Not exactly; it is more of a gestalt of time and healing magic. The spell essentially returned the atrophied portions of your body to the state they were in before you were ever injured. However, there are limitations upon the spell; it cannot for example, knit together flesh or mend bone. I am unsure of the reason, but that is the nature of the spell."

I cupped her midnight-hued cheek in my hand and kissed her on the lips. "Whatever it did, I'm grateful for it." I pulled her back into the kiss as she moved forward to do the same, our lips meeting with more passion before parting, our tongues dancing and playing in a show of passionate affection.

We headed back to my room after that, I pushed the wheelchair back with us and deposited it in a corner. As soon as I turned around, Luna reared up and wrapped her forelegs around my neck, gently guiding me to the bed as she had before. I eventually fell backwards, landing on the impossibly soft mattress with a faint *plop*, the beautiful Alicorn atop me not daring to pull back.

We kissed for what could have been hours or even days for all I cared, until I felt a familiar sensation on my lap. I stole a peek between us to see that Luna was once again rubbing her hips against mine, though this time there was no barrier between us save the clothes I had changed into before we left the hospital. We moaned into the kiss together as desire began to flood our bodies and minds.

Luna's horn lit up and we broke from one another only long enough for Luna to pull my now-unbuttoned shirt from my shoulders and tossed it unceremoniously to another part of the room. Luna looked down at my exposed flesh with a look of desire I had never seen on her before. She looked back into my eyes before lashing her head forward like a striking cobra to kiss me once again.

I wrapped my arms around her lithe neck and flipped us in one fluid motion. My Lunar Lover let out a yelp of surprise at the action. "Wh-what are you…" She gasped out.

I placed a finger over her lips and shushed her. "Let me take care of everything sweetheart, and I promise this'll be the best night of your life." I didn't give her a chance to respond before I kissed her deeply on the lips.

The Alicorn beneath me let out a stifled whine as I pulled away, but that was quickly replaced with a moan as I began trailing kisses along her jawline, working my way up to her sensitive ears. She let out a pleasured gasp as I began kissing along the ridge of her ear, nibbling lightly every so often, causing a shiver to run along her spine.

After tenderly working my way back to her sweet lips and kissing her lightly, she ran a hoof through my hair as she panted. "I never imagined it would feel this incredible!"

I smiled mischievously at her. "You ain't felt nothin' yet."

I worked my way back along her jawline, slowly making my way up and down her sensitive neck, paying special attention to the spots that made her gasp or moan. I took my time to work my way down to her chest, where I reached my hand down and began rubbing along her outer thigh as I kissed, licked, and nibbled along her sternum. As my hands brushed along the crescent moon of her cutie mark, her body suddenly stiffened. "By the Gods!" She groaned loudly.

I smirked to myself. So, cutie marks are erogenous zones eh? I'll have fun with that later… I reached my hand further up and gently squeezed her surprisingly toned flank. I began kneading her firm flesh, and she began moaning and gently writhing beneath me as her pleasure mounted, which was also building up my own arousal.

I started working my way even lower, still caressing her amazing flank as I took my sweet time, teasing and torturing her until the very air was saturated with the musky, sweet scent of her need for me. I increased my pace, though only just, as I felt her trying to wiggle herself so I was down lower. "P-please Blake…" She half gasped, half panted.

Not wanting to deny a beautiful mare a request like that, I shifted and brought myself in line with her perky, supple breasts, perched neatly between her hind legs. She shivered yet again as I began kissing around the soft flesh, careful to avoid the tender nubbins resting atop each.

As low as I was, her scent was almost overwhelming, awakening a far more animalistic, instinct-driven side of me, a side that I had to fight off in order to avoid simply taking the beautiful mare right then and there.

I shook my head slightly and refocused my efforts. I began kissing her breast again, making sure to avoid the sensitive, dusky nipple and areola, wanting to tease her to greater heights first. Painfully slowly, I made my way further in until I was dancing around the rim of her small areola, which was visibly aching with need for my touch.

A soft smile crossed my lips as I saw this and began tracing the very edge of it with my tongue. I worked my way in to the small button of her nipple, giving it a few playful licks before taking it into my mouth and being rewarded with another gasp from my lover. Gently suckling and licking the grey flesh caused her to writhe around further as she moved one hoof from her side to run it through the shock of brown hair atop my head.

"B-Blake…" She gasped. "What are you doing? It feels… wonderful…"

After giving its twin a similar treatment, I moved my way down even further, planting a kiss on the crescent-shaped tuft of cerulean fuzz hovering just over my beautiful marefriend's most sacred area. Luna gasped loudly in surprise and looked down in time to see me plant the first of many kisses up and down her inner thighs, stopping to pay special attention to the small erogenous zones on each as I felt her heated blood racing through her veins.

Luna was panting heavily and squirming as I teased and tortured her. I smiled up at her for a brief moment before working my way back towards the apex of her legs. The sight that graced my vision as I moved ever closer was that of sheer beauty, her aching pussy being just as smooth and delicate-looking as the rest of her.

Her arousal showed in the form of a dusting of pink skirting the edge of her nether lips, which were surrounding a line of darker pink promising wonderful things to whomever she granted this treasure. Nestled snugly at the top of this line was her petite pleasure button, peeking out from under its hood and practically begging for attention.

As I neared this sacred spot of her body, I felt her tense up further, though I could tell from her body language that this was almost solely in anticipation. I reached the apex of my journey up her thigh, blowing lightly on her sweet-smelling honeypot, reveling in the heat radiating from it, telling me exactly how much she needed me. The feel of my breath caused Luna to arch her back and let out the loudest moan yet.

I tentatively leaned in and planted a kiss on the light pink flesh of her outer lips, eliciting a gasp from my love's lips. I worked my way around the outside, being careful not to go too far in just yet. Both of her hooves were now erratically running through my hair as I teased her and brought her to new heights of pleasure.

When I felt she was ready, I returned to the base of her pink slit, sticking my tongue out and slowly drawing it upward, parting the folds of her lips and caressing her wet, sweet honeypot for the first time.

I let out a moan of my own as the sweet flavor of blackberries that was mingling in delightfully with the normal musky flavor of her sex graced my senses. I had to resist the urge to simply lap away with abandon at the wonderful flavor, instead focusing on readying the love of my life for what was to come as she moaned and writhed constantly above me.

After several up-and-down strokes of my tongue, I reached up with my mouth and took her sensitive little clit into it, gently licking and caressing it, both over and under its hood. After a moment of this, I returned my attention to her thoroughly moistened snatch, sinking my tongue in deeper and deeper with each pass. Her breathy, pleasure-induced moans were sweet music to my ears.

I stopped momentarily as I came across a familiar obstruction and realized that she was indeed a virgin. I looked up to her to ask one last time if she was sure she wanted this, when she looked down to me in turn. "Please my love… I wish to feel you inside me, please… make us one…" She begged between gasps.

My heart and loins swelled as she begged me for this, and I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than the beautiful mare before me. I set myself back to work for a moment longer as I undid my own pants, leaving myself as bare as my lover and finally freeing my hardened cock from its confines, only just realizing how painfully pent up it had been the entire time I had been pleasuring my lover.

Once I was free, I stood for a moment, allowing my love to see me as I had seen her before repositioning myself on the bed above her, my dick rock hard and begging for more. I lined the head of my smooth shaft up with the entrance to her awaiting pussy. Using only my hips, I dragged it up and down her dripping slit a few times, allowing her to get a feel for it before lining it up once again and slowly pressing forward into her velvety depths.

Luna let out a surprised gasp as the crown slipped past the entrance to her tight tunnel, stopping when I felt the slight resistance the thin film of her hymen presented. I looked into her eyes for a moment for any sign of hesitation. Finding none, I kissed her. "This is going to hurt love." I whispered to her before thrusting into her, just far enough to pierce the barrier of her virginity. She let out a pained whimper before calming down after the pain subsided.

After waiting a moment to allow her to adjust to being filled for the first time, I started moving myself in and out, only allowing a few millimeters of progress at a time to allow Luna to relax and accommodate my throbbing rod. I picked up my pace and moved further in with each thrust, feeling her velvety walls clamping down on me as I explored an area of her body that none before had.

Our hips met time and time again as I entered her, pulling out almost completely before smoothly sliding back in as she moaned in tempo with my thrusts. "OOOH!~ Blake my love, something is happening!"~ She sang out, moments before her body locked and her already tight depths clamped down around me with such force I was afraid I would be pushed out entirely. I kept up my thrusting, wanting nothing more at that moment than to make her first orgasm the best I could make it.

Between the tightness of her walls and the love I felt for her, I could feel my own climax fast approaching. "I'm not going to last much longer…" I grunted out in warning.

She kissed me with a fiery passion before pulling back and looking directly in my eyes. "Do not dare leave me!" She growled as I felt her walls clamp down on me again.

The extra tightness along with her passionate plea was too much for me and I was launched over the edge, a glorious pressure overtaking me as I came inside her, causing her to climax again in the middle of the orgasm she was already riding out as the warmth of my seed blossomed inside her.

Spent, I gently lay myself atop her before wrapping my arms around her and flipped us over so that I was now beneath her, my softening dick still sheathed firmly within her hot, tight depths.

It took several moments for the beautiful Lunar Princess to regain her composure enough to speak. "T-that was… I-I do not have words…"

"You don't have to say anything Luna; it was the same for me…"

My lover and I quickly drifted off to a peaceful sleep shortly afterwards.

The next morning found me packing the various gifts I had received during my hospital stay for the trip home. Just as I finished placing the last board game into the large suitcase Luna had had a servant bring up to the room we had shared, a pair of deep blue hooves wrapped around my neck. I turned around to see Luna's smiling face waiting to greet me.

She wasted no time, joining our lips and gently pushing me over onto the bed. We made out for so long that by the time we untangled ourselves from one another, the patch of sunlight being cast through the curtains and onto the floor was in a noticeably different position.

Luna accompanied me silently to the train station. The pain both of us were feeling was palpable, but neither of us dared give voice to it. When the train to Ponyville pulled up, Luna wrapped me in an almost bone-crushing hug. "I wish you well, Keeper of My Heart…" She kissed me quickly but deeply before dropping back to the ground and taking flight back towards the palace.

I couldn't blame her for it, if she felt anything like I did, she'd probably beg me to stay, and I probably wouldn't be able to say no…
