Chpt 26- Seven Years
#26 of MLP: A Hero's Rebirth
"And that my little ponies is how it all happened."
"Aww come on dad didn't you ever go back to Earth and see your other family?"
The dark blue Alicorn tapped his chin with his hoof. "Hmm well yes I did but that is a story for another time."
Both little Alicorns grumbled at their father's reply. "Alright you two, it's time for bed. Your aunt Luna is waiting to read you a bedtime story so hop to it." There standing in the doorway was Celestia. "First say goodnight to your father."
First to hug the stallion was the white filly, next was the white colt. "Night daddy."
"Yeah night dad."
They both ran from the room and down the hall. "Still telling them that old story?"
Lunar chuckled. "They wanted to know about their father so why not?"
"You did make sure to leave out the more graphical parts correct?"
Lunar scoffed. "Of course, our kids are still too young to know about those sort of things."
The now Queen of Equestria walked over and nuzzled her husband. "It's been seven years Lunar since that day. I still can not believe that you would have willing given your life for me and Silver."
The stallion smiled. "What's not to know? I love you with all my heart my lovely wife. Nothing can or will ever change that. Though I do have one question."
Celestia nodded. "Ask."
Lunar took a deep breath. "Well first off I would like to apologize for the way my earthly family reacted to us..."
The white Alicorn put her hoof to his muzzle and shook her head. "Enough Lunar, you have apologized for this already."
"I know but still. I had a feeling they would act that way but still I asked you to accompany me. Anyway, all those years ago did you ever see us ending the way we are?"
Celestia was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Not at first no. You and Luna were always playing pranks on me and I on you. I saw you as a younger brother at that time but before the day you fell into the forest I started to see you as more then just the colt my parents took in. I saw that you were always pushing the boundaries of what you could do and I admired that about you."
Lunar smiled as he seen his wife nuzzled under his chin.
Celestia then walked through their bed room and out to the balcony, looking up into the night sky. Lunar soon joined her by her side, to which she leaned against his side. Lunar opened his one wing and draped it over his wife. Together they stood and marveled at the night Luna had made just for them....on the eve of their anniversary.
