[This story takes place following Luna’s reformation and before Shining Armor’s romance with Cadance.]

Shining Armor panted, his cock throbbing as he humped eagerly in and out of his unusual partner. Luna—Princess of the Night, Shepherd of the Moon, the sister and right-hand mare of the ruler of Equestria—was on her back, moaning through her smile as Shining Armor slipped his firm shaft in and out of her slick marehood. Though she wasn't quite as tall as her sister, she was still noticeably bigger than her captain of the royal guard, sprawled out as the stallion pleasured her. Shining Armor kept his pace steady, enjoying the wonderful pleasure of their mating, but most of all desiring to impress the princess and give her a wonderful time. From what he could tell, he was doing a good job, her sweet moans filling his thoughts as he maintained his rhythm and used his full length to massage her warm sex. His own pleasure was rising, but he was determined to hold it back until he gave her an orgasm first. It was starting to get difficult, however, as it seemed that Princess Luna had quite the stamina. He was lasting a long while, but he certainly couldn't last forever.

"Your highness..." he said through his panting. "May I... cum inside?"

A strange sensation came over him, as if his sight was blurring. Blurring, and then fading. And then he opened his eyes, blinking a few times as he realized he had been dreaming. He glanced over at his beside clock and saw it was roughly an hour before Princess Celestia would raise the sun. With a sigh, he sat up, and promptly startled with an involuntary exclamation.

"Princess Luna?" he asked, unsure if he was still dreaming.

The regal mare was laying across the foot of his bed, her eyes closed and her horn still glowing. It was a moment longer before the glow dissipated and she opened her eyes, looking over and gazing at the startled captain.

"Greetings, Captain Shining Armor," she said. "Pleasant dreams?" she added with a knowing smile.

"I-... I’m sorry, my princess," Shining Armor said, feeling embarrassed that she had known exactly what he had been dreaming about.

"Do not apologize. Your dream was quite enjoyable."

As the princess of the night gave him an uncharacteristic wink, the gears started to turn in Shining Armor's mind. They were slow—having just woken up—but eventually he came to a realization.

"Did you... influence my dreams, your highness?"

Luna laughed softly, and then looked back at Shining Armor with a smile. "No, and that makes it all the more flattering. You are an attractive stallion, Captain Shining Armor. I would enjoy making your dream a reality."

Shining Armor was unsure that he understood the regal mare correctly, her words echoing in his mind as he tried to decipher their meaning. Surely it wasn't what they initially seemed to mean, right?

"Your highness? I'm... not sure I understand."

Princess Luna smiled, well aware of the effect she had on ponies. "Allow me to be explicitly clear, then. I, Luna, Princess of the Night, waive my royal influence and authority in the following invitation, and permit you to choose without negative consequence. My invitation is this: I ask—not as your princess, but as a plain mare—that you join with me in mating, that we may share satisfaction with each other."

There was no doubting her words now, the stallion stunned by such an unexpected and straightforward invitation.

"I-... It would be my honor, your highness," Shining Armor managed, his disbelief audible in his voice.

"No," Luna said sternly. "For now, I am not a royal. I am simply Luna, a mare with desires like any other. Consent to mate with me: a plain mare, and not your princess. Or decline. I must stress that there are no consequences to declining, and you are under no obligation to accept. Your desire is of utmost priority in the matter."

Shining Armor nodded his understanding, attempting to convince his mind that Luna was not the mare that controlled the moon. When it came to desire, he certainly didn't need the clarification, attracted to Luna either way. "I’d love to accept your invitation... should I call you 'Luna'?"

"Yes, call me 'Luna' for the duration of our time together. Be friendly with me, be familiar and relaxed. I am not as frightening and cold a mare as some may perceive."

Shining Armor recalibrated his demeanor toward the Princess of the Night, trying his best and finding it easier with the aid of his arousal. "I would love to have such a sexy mare as a partner~" he tried, smiling as he saw her blush at his compliment. "And to be honest, I've never found you frightening or cold."

"Truly?"

"Yeah, I mean it. I've always liked the thought of getting to know you. Not to mention... the fact that I find you extremely attractive. Tonight isn't the first time I've dreamed of being with you, haha."

"I am aware~" Luna said with a pleased smile. "Your interest in me has always warmed my heart. I am used to seeing myself present in the nightmares of ponies. It is rather demoralizing to see that even still, there are many that fear me. But your desire for me is precious and cherished, and I would like to reward that."

"I would love to show you how much I desire you~" Shining Armor said with a smile of his own.

His horn glowed as he used his magic to pull back his covers, leaving himself exposed on his back. His member was flopped out on his underbelly, having grown soft after being fully erect while he slept. It throbbed with excitement, growing firm again as he anticipated having sex with the Princess of the Night in waking life.

"What sort of position do you want to do it in?" he asked, his excitement growing as his heart started beating quicker.

Luna glanced away from the exposed stallion, but then looked back as she reminded herself to indulge in the moment. She gazed at his attractive pair, his plump sheath, and his member as it throbbed back to full hardness. The sight was captivating, distracting her from her thoughts as she admired the handsome pony laying there and eager to be her mate. After a moment, she managed to gather her thoughts.

"On my side," she said with surety. "It is my favorite position. First, however, might I pleasure you orally?"

The question felt out of place coming from such a proper and poised mare—though that could be said for the entire encounter—but Shining Armor nodded with eagerness all the same.

"Please do. That sounds... really hot~"

Luna stood up on the bed, stepping over and laying herself back down on her belly facing the stallion on his back. Her horn glowed and Shining Armor's shaft throbbed as the tingle of her magic enveloped and lifted it upward. Luna looked into Shining Armor's eyes, and their gaze met for a moment, sharing a smile with each other. Then, Luna moved her head forward and angled his shaft toward her lips, kissing his tip and giving it short little licks. Shining Armor couldn't help but moan at the excitement of it all, his cock getting licked by the Princess Luna. The sound of pleasure was savored by the princess, her smile brightening as she teased his tip. Hardly able to wait any longer herself, Luna opened her mouth and took Shining Armor's length past her lips to suck on his erection. Once more, the stallion moaned, shuddering and throbbing hard at the excitement of getting a blowjob from the second most powerful and famous mare in all of Equestria. Despite being a reserved mare, it was clear that she had done this sort of thing before, and indeed, was quite skilled. She took her partner's length further into her mouth, relaxed as can be with the act. The princess began bobbing, sucking off the stallion's malehood with a graceful rhythm. The moans she earned filled her with a sense of delight, a sweet bonus to the act that she already enjoyed in and of itself. Her slippery tongue and firm lips glided along his shaft, the foreplay alone being more than enough to give a stallion an orgasm. As if to make it even more difficult, she went down even further on his shaft, all the way until her muzzle pressed up against his sheath. She seemed to do it effortlessly, not even slowing her steady bobbing as she enjoyed the act of pleasuring her partner.

Though Shining Armor had a fair bit of stamina, even he couldn't last through the princess' unexpectedly expert blowjob. "Hahhh, P-Princess~... I mean, Luna~... H-hold on, I'm getting close."

Luna was pleased that he corrected himself, but she gave no sign that she heard his words. She simply kept bobbing in his lap, kissing his sheath firmly each time as she savored the oddly soothing sensation of the stallion’s shaft slipping in and out of her mouth.

"Luna, I... hohhh I'm... going t-to cum if you keep going."

Once more, Luna didn't falter, keeping her pace steady and smooth. And within a few moments, Shining Armor's warning came to fruition. She smiled as he started cumming in her mouth, swallowing repeatedly as he throbbed over and over again. She paused her bobbing, lifting up on his member to make it easier for her to keep up with his spurts. With her smiling, she couldn't quite keep a full seal with her lips around his member, some of his cum drooling from the corners of her mouth. His sweet seed was a reward independent of the joy of sharing pleasure, the deliciousness of stallion semen being an uncommon treat for the princess. She relaxed there, happily feeling Shining Armor cum for quite a long time as she sucked on his length. When his throbs finally began to settle, she resumed her graceful bobbing, earning a surprised moan from him and a few more throbs. She could feel his length growing softer after the pleasure, and after a few more seconds of enjoying his member, she let it out of her mouth and used her magic to catch it, laying it gingerly against his chest as if it were something fragile to be handled with great care and affection.

"I'm sorry, Luna," Shining Armor said.

"For ever what?" she asked with a knowing smile, gazing at Shining Armor. The sight of the princess of the night with cum drooling from her lips was unexpectedly adorable in an entirely perplexing way.

"I... was intending to mate with you," Shining Armor explained.

"Yes?" Luna prompted.

"But now that I've cum, I don't know if I could get hard again so soon."

Luna laughed with that same knowingness. "Perhaps I could help?~"

With that, her horn glowed and she lifted Shining Armor's softening shaft. Recalling one of her favorite spells, the stallions member began to tingle with an odd sensation. She maintained the spell for several seconds, watching as he grew firm once again, his erection even throbbing.

"That's... useful," Shining Armor said with a laugh. He felt as though his pleasure had been reset, his shaft firm and sensitive once more.

"I'm quite a fan of it myself," Luna said, moving her head forward to nuzzle the captain's shaft in that same confusingly adorable fashion.

Shining Armor chuckled through his smile, filled with joy at how comfortable he was getting with the princess. "Shall I return the favor then?"

"In a moment," Luna said, and then lowered her head down further. "I have quite a fondness for a handsome pair of baubles."

She nuzzled Shining Armor's pair, being as gentle as can be with his sensitive feature. As she did, she used her magic to hold his warm shaft against her horn, giving a hum of pleasure herself as it stimulated her. Luna rubbed her lips across Shining Armor's smooth, plump pair, savoring the opportunity to get to play with such a handsome stud. She enjoyed the freedom she had in embracing her desires, free to explore her partner and do the things she wished to do. Letting out her tongue, she licked over one of his orbs and ended the lap with a soft kiss. Then she switched to the other, plainly enamored with the stallion's balls. It wasn't the most stimulating thing for a male, but Shining Armor relaxed and savored the lewd attention nonetheless. Soon, she had both of his baubles in her mouth, sucking on them gently and licking over them. She used her magic to rub Shining Armor's length along her sensitive horn, causing herself to moan as she sucked on his pair. She let them out of her mouth, kissed them, and then took them back in to suck on.

She would have kept going for much longer, but she remembered that the sun would be rising soon enough, and with it she would need to do her duty to lower the moon. Lifting her head up and nuzzling the captain's shaft affectionately as she did so, she gazed at him with a warm joy in her expression.

"Thank you for doing this with me, Shining Armor," she said gratefully.

"I feel like I should be thanking you," he replied with a chuckle. "I can't tell you how much every stallion dreams of waking up to a beautiful, breathtaking mare that wants to have sex, and gives the most amazing blowjobs imaginable."

Shining Armor's praise and compliments caused Luna's cheeks to tingle with blush, a girlish giggle escaping from her as he flattered her. She nuzzled his cock one final time, and then stood up.

"Your mutual appreciation is sweeter than any delight, Shining Armor." She turned around, facing away from the stallion and laying down. She moved her hind legs to one side, her rump on it's side but her front half remaining on her belly. "Come, share further pleasure with me, if you desire it also."

With that, Luna moved her tail upward, leaving her sleek black rump exposed and presented. Her plump marehood was barely visible in the dim room, but the sight of the princess presenting herself was enough to thrill Shining Armor. The eager stallion rolled onto his hooves and stood up, turning and getting right behind the princess. He sat down, his front hooves on Luna's shapely flank, his shaft firm and pointing toward her rump.

"May I?" he asked to be certain.

"Please do~" Luna invited, moving her top hind leg forward to further present her sex to him.

Shining Armor didn't hesitate any longer, moving his hips forward and nestling his tip between her hind cheeks. He pressed gently, feeling her vagina squish against his cock head. Using his magic, he wiggled his shaft up and down, pressing a little further until finally both he and the princess moaned, his tip easing into her slippery inner walls. She wasn't quite as tight as he had dreamt, but there was no question as to how wonderful she felt. He pressed his member deeper into her squishy pussy, throbbing inside her and bringing to mind a question.

"Do you want me to pull out when I cum?"

Luna laughed softly. "There is no need. We, the royal sisters, have been barren for centuries. Please, ejaculate where you most desire."

Shining Armor shuddered at the thought, his cock throbbing hard inside the princess. He continued pressing himself deeper into her until he felt his pair brush up against her cheek. Pulling out of her was almost as thrilling as pressing in, and Shining Armor found it hard to hold in his sounds of bliss. He hummed deeply, his shaft throbbing wildly as he started pressing back in, a little faster than before, and then pulling back out likewise. The moan he received from the princess was beyond encouraging, her grace extending even to her sexual pleasure. He soon found himself steadily rutting the regal mare's slick vagina, hooves on her rump and moving his hips with a steady rhythm. Luna laughed with bliss, looking back at Shining Armor with a grateful smile.

"You are wonderful, Shining Armor~" she said, a moan following as her vaginal walls clenched in pleasure. "You are my first stallion in a long while."

"You feel amazing yourself, Princess~ Luna, I mean. Sorry."

Luna smirked. "You may call me 'Princess,' I suppose. Mmm~... I merely wished for you to not take into account my royalty in my initial invitation."

"Princess or not," Shining Armor spoke as he began panting lightly. "You're incredible, Luna. I don't even know the words to describe how beautiful you are."

His comments earned some more girlish tittering from the royal pony, a delightful glimpse into a casual side of Luna that had long been forgotten to time. She moaned again before responding, her marehood clenching around Shining Armor's firm length.

"You are a very kind stallion, Shining Armor. Hahhh~... Oh yes, how I wish to reward you for your company~"

"This is beyond any reward I could imagine~" Shining Armor said truthfully.

Eager to please Luna further, Shining Armor picked up his pace, leaning over the princess' rump as he got on top of her partially. He humped a little faster, and got as deep as he could with each motion forward—his hips pressing up against her voluptuous rump. It earned the reaction he was hoping for, savoring her sounds of pleasure with each second that passed.

"Ohhh Shining Armor~ That feels... exquisite~ Hah!~ Oh yes!~ Mmm, by the... s-stars~..."

The princess' audible pleasure warmed the captain's heart, allowing himself some soft moans to show his own enjoyment. He panted hard, breathing heavily along with the princess as they mated. His firm shaft was hard as can be, throbbing frequently as Luna's warm, slippery vaginal walls massaged it. A surreal sensation came over him as he thought about how he was truly having sex with Princess Luna, balls-deep in her snug vagina, his pair repeatedly pressing up against her cheek as he humped deep.

"Shining Armor?~" Luna asked through her panting.

"Yes, Luna?" he replied breathlessly.

"Are you... approaching orgasm?" she asked with a hint of shyness, a higher moan following her question.

"Mmmmm, I am~" Shining Armor said truthfully, his shaft throbbing frequently now.

Luna looked back at Shining Armor, and then glanced away, but looked back a moment afterwards, a question in her gaze. Shining Armor picked up on it and slowed his humping to a halt, his baubles resting against the mare's rump.

"What is it, Luna?"

Luna's breathing calmed as the sex paused, her gaze still conveying something that wasn't quite common to see in a royal. Shyness?

"I-... Forgive me, for my request may be too intimate."

"I would love to be intimate with you, Princess. I'm the luckiest stallion in Canterlot as I am right now~ What would you like to ask?"

Luna's gaze wandered around the room for a few moments longer, but finally she found her courage.

"Might we... orgasm simultaneously?"

The proper speech of a royal was not quite at home with such lewd topics, making Shining Armor chuckle warmly. "I would love to~ I'll try to hold out, you just cum when you're ready~ I'll join you when you do~"

Luna giggled, arching her back as she smiled. It was clear to see how much this pleased the princess. "I will... I am nearly at my climax~ Please, continue~"

Shining Armor didn't need much encouragement, resuming his deep, steady humping in and out of Luna's pussy. Their shared moans soon returned, and their breathing likewise became labored once more. Panting and crooning their sounds of bliss with one another, the pleasurable mating continued for only a little longer before Luna's wings stretched out to her sides, her back arching further as she drew in a deep, shuddering breath while her pussy tensed up. She began trembling, and then exhaled shakily, her vaginal walls clenching repeatedly around the captain's shaft. Shining Armor didn't need her to tell him that she was cumming, and he felt relieved to have lasted long enough to give the princess her orgasm. Humping a little faster and embracing his own pleasure, he soon joined her, pressing his hips firmly against her attractive rump, his full length hugged by her marehood. He panted heavily, his shaft throbbing wildly inside the princess, cumming into her vagina and allowing himself smooth moans of satisfaction to join with her feminine sounds of delight.

Luna savored every second, feeling her partner's erection throbbing inside her as she came with him. The pleasure and excitement was something uncommon for her, mating being something that she rarely had a partner to enjoy with nowadays. Having been pent up for a while now, the satisfaction from such a strong orgasm was intensified, fully embracing the moment as her unrestrained moans filled the room. She came for quite a while, even past the point when Shining Armor's climax faded. The considerate stallion humped her lightly as his own pleasure tapered, seeking to enhance the beautiful mare's orgasm. It worked wonders, stealing giggles from her to mix with her sensual moans, a joyful smile on her face as she was taken such good care of. When at last her orgasm began to fade, she felt entirely satisfied, catching her breath as Shining Armor continued to gently hump her pussy.

"Hah... Shining Armor, mmm~ Oh, how wonderful you are~ Hah... ohhh how lovely this has been~..."

The princess' pleasure-drunk words brightened Shining Armor's smile, still happily humping her satisfied pussy.

"It's been a dream come true for me~" Shining Armor replied with a laugh, and he was pleased to hear Luna's laughter in return.

"Indeed, in quite a literal fashion~" she said, looking back at Shining Armor with a relaxed and satisfied expression. "You may stop now, Shining Armor. I am fully satisfied."

"Mmm, sorry, I was just having fun~" he said, stopping his humping but keeping his cock pressed deep into her.

"Oh~" Luna said, her cheeks warming with blush. "If so, please feel free to continue. I was of the impression that you meant to prolong my pleasure to the greatest extent."

"Originally I had, but now, it's just because I love how your beautiful pussy feels~" he said, pulling his hips back and resuming his casual humping.

His words had quite an effect on Luna, unaccustomed to being complimented so directly, let alone so explicitly. She shuddered and her vagina clenched, a little surge of pleasure coming over her that faded after a moment. She laughed, amused by her own sensitivity.

"I invite you to enjoy my... 'pussy,' for as long as you like~" she said, giggling at her own use of the common slang.

Shining Armor laughed with her, sitting up and moving his hooves back to her large flank. He looked down at her rump, savoring the sight of his own member easing in and out of Luna’s plump vagina.

"You are one of the sexiest mares I can imagine, Luna~" Shining Armor complimented earnestly.

Luna's adorable laughter was a treat to hear, a clear showing of how much she enjoyed being complimented just like any mare would. "You are quite the attractive stallion yourself, Captain Shining Armor."

A cozy silence mixed with their relaxation, the only sound being Shining Armor's softening shaft slipping in and out of Luna's wet lips. The post-coital humping came to an end after a little longer, the captain's shaft slipping out of his regal partner as he grew too soft to keep playing with her.

"Thank you, Shining Armor," Luna said with satisfaction in her voice.

"I'd like to thank you more, Luna~ That was incredible, every second of it~"

Luna smiled and folded her wings back at her sides. She got onto her hooves and stood up on the bed. From where Shining Armor sat, his face was mere inches from her beautiful rump. Unable to resist, he planted a kiss on her cheek, which earned yet another giggle from Luna.

"You truly find me attractive?" the princess asked, completely oblivious to her own sex appeal.

"More than I could put into words~" he confirmed, his gaze fixed between her cheeks. He hadn't cum very much for his second orgasm, a single drop of his seed drooling from the princess' sex. He smiled as he admired the lewd sight.

"You truly are a charming stallion~" Luna said through her smile, loving how desirable he made her feel. "I would remain in bed with you if my desire was practical. Alas, I must lower the moon, and you must begin your day."

She hopped off of the bed, turning and looking back at Shining Armor as he remained sitting there.

"Might I ask that you keep our meeting to your own thoughts and memory?"

"Of course, Luna," Shining Armor said. "I'll not tell, but I'll be thinking about it all week~"

Luna smiled, pleased that her partner had enjoyed himself so much. "I dare say I also shall recall our time together with great joy~"

She stepped back from the bed, and spread her wings, drawing up her posture in an impressive pose.

"Henceforth you shall resume addressing me by my royal status."

"Yes, your highness," Shining Armor confirmed, sitting up a little straighter when addressing her.

"Very good. Now, I must be off. Be well, Captain Shining Armor."

"Thank you, my princess."

With a flash of her deep blue magic, Luna was gone—off to do her duties as princess of the night, yet now, with a bit more of a trot than a lope~

? ? ?

Shining Armor stood in the tower along the wall of the training grounds, idly spectating the routine conditioning of the royal guards. A contented smile rested on his lips as he gazed out across the area, his mind on other topics. As he was alone in the tower, he let himself relax—just a little—allowing his stallionhood to hang down from his sheath as he thought of the morning he had had with the Princess of the Night. It took all of his self-control to keep his shaft from growing fully erect at the thought.

"You look quite chipper today, Captain~" came a familiar voice in an unfamiliar, casual tone.

Shining Armor's heart skipped several beats as he quickly turned around and laid himself in a low bow. "Your highness!"

Celestia smiled at the startled captain, her approach having been silent. "Rise, Shining Armor," she said in her kind voice. "I would like to have a word with you in private. Are you expecting any accompaniment up here in this tower?"

Shining Armor's heart once again faltered. Does she know? Was it wrong of me to lay with her sister? Oh of course it was! I'm just a guard and she's a royal! Oh I'm toast...

"None expected," the internally nervous stallion answered stiffly as he stood from his bow. His member had entirely retreated back into his sheath.

"Good," Celestia said, and turned her head to look at the door. She closed it with her magic, and Shining Armor could hear the lock engage. Oh no...

"Is there anything you wish to tell me of, captain?" Celestia asked in a neutral tone, her expression unreadable.

Shining Armor froze up. She was going to make him admit to it. Oh what cruel and clever tactics... "I..." he began, struggling to find a way to word his admission in a graceful way, but then he remembered something. "I don’t think it’s my place to say, your highness. It’s... a personal matter, and I’d prefer to not disclose the details of it in order to respect the other that was involved."

Celestia gazed down at the captain, her eyes unblinking as silence filled the room. For several seconds it drew out, but finally, the sun goddess spoke.

"Very good, Shining Armor," she said, her lips teasing into a smile. "I know of your interaction with my sister this morning."

"Your highness, I realize my error. Please forgive-"

But his sentence was cut short as Princess Celestia lowered her head down and planted a kiss atop the stammering stallion's muzzle.

"At ease, captain," she said as she pulled her head back to smile at him. "I wish to thank you."

"...Your highness?"

"My sister is often misunderstood," Celestia explained, turning her head to gaze out across the training grounds as she spoke. "She finds difficulty in connecting with ponies in our modern era. Although she is getting better at it, she lacks much of the self-esteem she once had. She tells me of the pain of seeing herself so frequently portrayed as a monster in the dreams of others—the dreams of those she is tasked with protecting."

Celestia paused and Shining Armor nodded, his mind racing as he listened to the princess' explanation. She continued after a moment, laughing softly and turning her gaze back to the captain.

"You would have enjoyed seeing how giddy she was as she told me about you."

"She... told you?"

"My sister and I are very close," Celestia nodded. "She told me about everything, and with quite a lot of detail~" she added with a suggestive smile and a wink—something that made Shining Armor blush bright. She laughed at the reaction she earned.

"Your highness, I... I, well..."

"You are not in trouble, Shining Armor," Celestia interrupted, sensing the stallion's worry. "I merely wished to thank you."

"...May I ask what exactly for, your highness?"

"For treating my sister well, and giving her joy and pleasure, as well as accepting her and treating her kindly."

Shining Armor let Celestia's words settle over him, thinking over them one at a time in his persisting state of disbelief. Finally, he looked up to meet her smile.

"It was a great honor, your highness," he said in a resolute voice.

"You are a noble stallion," Celestia approved. "I do hope—should my sister approach you again on the matter—that you will share her desire."

"Very much so, your highness," Shining Armor nodded, trying to control his enthusiasm. "You... want me to lay with your sister again?"

Celestia looked around the room, and then stepped closer to Shining Armor. She lowered her head down to eye-level with the captain, her expression startlingly suggestive.

"If the desire is mutual..." she said in a low, intimate voice. "...Then I hope you rut her pussy so well that she's late to lowering the moon, and that her legs tremble as she does it~"

Celestia punctuated her sensual statement with an unexpected lick to the stallion's muzzle. She stepped back and gave him a wink, laughing softly as she beheld the paralyzed captain. She was well aware of the effect she could have on ponies, especially when she let her playful, casual side show.

"Can I trust you to do that?" she asked coyly.

Shining Armor's trance ebbed and he began by nodding. "Y-yes, your highness. I would love to... to do that."

"Very good," Celestia said, satisfied. She turned her head and unlocked the door, opening it slightly. "Some parting advice," she said in a whisper as she leaned close. "Try to avoid developing a romantic interest in Luna. She has never cared for romance herself."

Shining Armor nodded, taking the advice to heart. "Thank you for telling me that, your highness," he whispered in reply.

Celestia stepped back, gazing at the captain of the royal guard for a moment as she smiled. "Be well, Shining Armor."

"Thank you, my princess," Shining Armor replied.

Celestia vanished with a flash of golden light, and for the second time that day he was left with quite a lot to think about after an interaction with a royal sister. The slow, quiet day was a blessing in that regard, allowing him solitude to contemplate the unexpected events. It wasn't long before he was back to enjoying the recollection of the morning's events, and his contented smile made a return. Once more, he allowed his member to hang from his sheath, relaxing alone in the tower and enjoying the pleasant memories while hoping to make more like them.
