- >"LETS GO COUNT THE STARS ANON!"
- >You stare at the big bright smile Nightmare is giving you as you both lay in the grass.
- "What are you, stupid?"
- >Her face tightens slightly, but keeps holding that big smile.
- >You carefully keep your face from smiling.
- "Do you know how many stars there are?"
- "There's billions! We'd be here forever. And I don't know about you but I don't want to be here forever"
- >Her smile starts to shrink slightly and her eyebrows start narrowing.
- "Places to be, people to see and all that"
- "Not to insult you Moony, but I'm a young virile male, I've gots to go do stuff. This'd be something for some old codger to do"
- >Her smile was almost entirely gone now and you could see a spark of anger in her eyes.
- "Besides that, have you thought about the logistics of accurately counting the stars in the sky?"
- >You turn away from her and hold your arms up to the sky, forming a little triangle between your hands.
- "I'd have to make a building with a hemispheric roof that's divided into thousands of little triangles so that I can take them each away one by one so that I can count all the stars in that section of the sky."
- >You drop your arms and make a grandiose gesture at the sky.
- "But that wouldn't work either! Your sky is always rotating and shifting, you'd have to keep it still to count it!"
- >You turn back to look at her, noting the scrunched up snout.
- "And then! And then! The astronomers! Oh the astronomers! They'd all be beating down my door"
- >You flail your arms into the air.
- "What am I going to do about an army of angry astronomers beating down my door? Fight them? They're astronomers!"
- "So there I am, in a building made of a bunch of tiny triangles with an army of old astronomers yelling at me about trying to count the stars"
- "So let's not."
- >As you end your tirade you look at Nightmare Moon, Queen of Equestria with a completely straight face.
- >She looks back at you impassively for a few moments before bursting out laughing.
- >"You were supposed to be romantic you ass"
- >She playfully hits you on the shoulder as you grin at her.
- "Besides"
- >You grab her hoof and pull her into a cuddle as you settle back on the grass.
- "There's only one star I care to count"
- END.
