Moon and Star, Forever Lost [SHORT ROMANCE/TRAGIC]

The Nights Darkening

From that night on, Luna and Starlight were inseparable. They spent their days together, their love growing stronger with each passing moment. They shared their hopes, their dreams, their fears, and their love for one another. And every night, they would stand together under the moon, their hearts intertwined, knowing that they had found something truly special in each other.

Their love was not without its challenges—they were both powerful mares with responsibilities that often pulled them in different directions. But they faced every challenge together, their love giving them the strength to overcome anything that came their way. And every night, no matter what had happened during the day, they would always find their way back to each other, wrapped in the warmth of each other's embrace, their love shining as brightly as the moon above.

But not everypony was happy with their love. Applebloom, now grown up and far from the filly she once was, had always held a secret affection for Princess Luna. Luna's poise, her beauty, her mysterious aura—it had all enchanted Applebloom for years. She had watched from afar as Luna grew closer to Starlight, her heart aching with jealousy. When she learned that her sister, Applejack, was visiting Canterlot, Applebloom saw an opportunity. She decided she would do something about her unrequited feelings.

Applebloom concocted a plan, one she knew was risky but felt was her only chance. She brewed a love potion, similar to the one she and her friends had mistakenly made years ago. This time, however, it was no accident. She was determined. She arrived at the castle with Applejack, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and fear. She hid the potion carefully, waiting for the right moment.

When the moment came, Applebloom approached Luna, her smile warm but her intentions anything but innocent. "Princess Luna, Ah made this special drink just for ya," Applebloom said, her voice sweet as honey. "It's an Apple family specialty."

Luna, always appreciative of the hospitality of her subjects, took the offered drink with a grateful smile. She had no reason to suspect anything was amiss. "Thank you, Applebloom. That is very kind of you," she said before taking a sip.

The effects were almost immediate. Luna's eyes glazed over, her expression softening as her gaze fixated on Applebloom. The love potion had worked, and Luna's heart was now clouded with an artificial infatuation for the young mare standing before her.
