>Your day with her is pleasant beyond belief
>You feel like you can actually get used to this new life
>Woah Anon, careful, remember what she did to you
>Your personal vendetta cannot be so easily forgotten
>But now, as you sit here with her at sunset, you can't help but feel increasingly more guilty
>She took everything from you, but would you be able to take everything from her?
>The sun you so much enjoyed now sinks into the west
>Along with your hatred for this mare
"It's night, we should probably head in."
>"The night never comes when you're around, my sunshine."
>She giggles and leads the way into the castle
>You hesitate to follow, but in doing so you feel your heart tug your body toward her so you follow in her stead
>You stroll through the halls of Canterlot
>Wishing goodnight to all of the servants you pass by
>A particular pony stands out however
>She's tall, dark, and broody
>"Goodnight Luna. I trust Night Court has yet to start?"
>Luna glances in your direction, her icy cold gaze freezes you over
>"Nay sister, we have yet to begin. We have heard that thou art married. Why is it that we have yet to meet your claimed husband?"
>Her stare never leaves you
>She either immediately hates you, or very protective of her sister
>You decide to go with the latter
>"Ah yes, sorry. It was such short notice I didn't exactly get the chance to show him off did I?. Anon, this is my sister Luna."
>Celestia moves you out in front of her
>Putting you directly in front of her sister
"Uh, hello princess. Pleasure to meet you."
>You extend your hand outward, but gain no response from the Princess of the Night
>"Yes. Likewise. Sister, we will not pry into your private affairs, but we do think that your choice in spouses in quite strange. Goodbye."
>She trots off in the opposite direction from the two of you
>"Oh don't mind her, she's wonderful once you get to know her."
"I'm sure."

>The both of you retire into your now shared bed
>You take the familiar position from the previous night
>You stroke your mare's mane
>Something that would have repulsed you days ago
>you sit in content silence as you both play through the days events
>Your mind goes back to the sunrise
>That was the moment you confirmed your suspicion
>You love this mare
>"Anon..?"
"Hmm?"
>"I was just thinking. Even though we have yet to be married... Would you like to, maybe, make love to me tonight?"
>Your heart nearly explodes
>And it takes every ounce of will power not to wipe the sweat from your forehead
>Okay, keep it together Anon
>Keep your eye on the prize, your revenge
>This could be it! The perfect moment for your revenge!
>But would you really be so cruel to the mare you love?
"Celestia, I....think we should wait until we are married. It would be more special that way y'know?"
>Celestia hardly hides her disappointment but agrees
>"Perhaps waiting awhile longer wouldn't be so terrible. I often longed for the day we could be one with each other. I imagine it's the best feeling in the world."
"Imagine?"
>"Yes. Honestly, I have yet to been with a stallion. Is that a problem for you?"
>It takes you by surprise that this mare who lived over a thousand years has never got any actiom
"No! No, not at all...."
>Oh boy, the guilt just keeps piling up
