Lunch was over.
The moment of peace was almost over too. At least after today I’d be able to empty my schedule, but today, there was that meeting with the guard. Really shouldn’t skip that, not with a possible Rexosaurus main food source approaching the area.
Luna was talking quietly with Sunny and Sparks to the side, Cadence were gathered up with Shining Armor and Sunburst, fussing over Flurry Heart along with Midnight. Tempest was there too, seemingly trying not to look like she wanted to stay tough and not coo with the rest about the little filly. Flurry was getting big and had been asking questions nonstop.
She was very cute.
Celestia stood by the railing of the platform, looking out over the lights of the village.
Getting up, I popped the last piece of mango into my mouth and moved over to her, “So, what do you think?” I asked.
She glanced at me and smiled, “It’s… impressive. Seems larger than I thought it would be.”
“It’s the trees,” I explained, “The buildings wrap around them, taking up a lot of space in the middle, making them look bigger than they normally would. The trick is to not have them rub against the wood too firmly, things last much longer than and give things room to grow.”
Celestia nodded, “Makes sense,” she agreed, “Very thick trees.”
“Mmm. Plenty of wood,” I agreed, “hard too, it’s currently our most attractive export.”
“I can see why,” she said and flicked one ear.
“Like some?” I asked and moved to stand next to her, “I’m sure I could arrange some for you.”
Celestia nodded and stretched her wings, “I can always use some… maybe for my bedroom.”
“Oh? I’d figure you already had plenty there.”
“Mmm,” she agreed with a small smirk, “Maybe for the pillars of my bed, nice and thick? They are getting a bit old. If it’s hard enough that is. To last.”
“Oh, that’s no worry. It’ll last for a long time. I think You’d find it quite satisfactory.”
‘
“I guess we need to arrange that then,” she said and then glanced towards Luna, Sunny and Sparks for a second before she turned back to me again, “Anything else I don’t know you export?”
“Well,” I said and scraped my hoof against the wooden platform, “Mostly consumables so far. Fruit, local wine, that sort of thing.”
“Anything I’d like to taste?”
I nodded, “I’m sure you would,” I told her with a smile, “Several were on the table today. You seemed to find them quite enjoyable.”
“The one with the hard shell?” Celestia asked and licked her lips, “It was nice, but the juices got everywhere.”
“There is a trick to it if you eat it whole, you need to wrap your lips around it where you first pierce the shell,” I said, stretching my wings, “Just a gentle sucking. I’m sure you could get quite good at it.”
Celestia smirked, “Normally it wouldn’t be a problem, I was just surprised how quickly it happened when I got into it.”
“Can be,” I agreed and folded my wings, “Most beginners have trouble as I understand it, but you opened it faster than most manage it. I guess that comes with a couple of thousand years of experience.”
“It does,” she said and looked out over the village, “It’s amazing what you have done here, Page.”
“We all do our best,” I said and hooked a hoof over the railing, looking at the village, “It’s never easy, but we all try. Every day is hard, but you will find that we have it well in hoof.”
“You don’t need to do it all on your own,” Celestia said gently, “You need to learn to accept help from others, I’m sure Sunset and Twilight would be more than happy to help.”
I nodded, “I know,” I said and sighed, “And they do, and time with Luna in my dreams helps. But sometimes I miss having you to lean on,” I told her, “Dreaming of you is one thing, but it’s another being by your side. I’ll never understand how you manage Equestria as well as you do. Somehow managing to be firm while somehow at once having a soft touch, so soft that someponies might not even tell you are doing anything directly until it explode in their faces.”
“Experience, Page,” Celestia said, “You’ll get there yourself with time.”
“I suppose,” I said and then smiled at her, “But it’s still impressive how you are able to take it all on your own, managing so many hard things at once,” I motioned towards the village, “I have one thing and it’s more than I can deal with at times, almost has a life of its own.”
“Experience,” she repeated and flicked one ear, “And I have help. My sister, and Cadence. We all handle things as they come, all in our own ways. As you know, my sister is more direct.”
“She is,” I agreed, “I have tried to do things the way you do, but… I’m not sure I can.”
“We all have our preferences, Page,” Celestia said with a small smile, “Our favorite ways of doing things. Like you said, I have a softer touch than my sister. Cadence rules directly as that seemed to work best in the Crystal Empire. You have to figure out how you like doing it?”
“I know how I like it,” I said and touched her wing with mine, “Not sure it’s how you would enjoy it though.”
“It’s your village, Prince Page,” Celestia said with a small smile, “You decide what you think is best for your ponies. And you have Twilight and Sunset, you can lean on them, they are very capable mares, they can handle anything you can give them.”
I slowly nodded, “I know,” I simply said and then I smiled at her, “And don’t think I’m going to forget about getting you that wood. It’s the least I could do after everything you have done for me.”
“Looking forward to it.”
There was a slight choking sound and we looked back to see Cadance standing there, looking like she had just bit into something that sounded crunch when it shouldn’t.
“Yes?” Celestia asked, raising one eyebrow.
“I was… you are...” Cadance started before she facehooved with a small groan, “...Actually, you know what, No. If you’re doing it on purpose, you can deal with it yourselves!”
With that she turned around and walked back to her husband.
I shared a look with Celestia, “Ah.”
“Ah, indeed,” She agreed with a small smirk and brushed her wing against mine, “But perhaps we should tone it down around her.”
“Nah. Nopony but herself to blame for listening in,” I said, shifting my wing up against the underside of her amazingly soft wing in turn.
“Are you sure? You’re making things harder for yourself.”
I smirked, “No, that’s all your doing, Sunshine.”
Похоже, Селестия скоро тоже будет вместе с Пейджем. Йуху) Бедная Каденс, никто её не слушает)
I'm curious what problem Cadance has with Page
Oh yeah, I actually forgot that Flurry is over two years old now
Well, Celestia and Page were fun this chapter
Welp, I'm surprised this chapters comment section hasn't flooded yet with all those innuendos. Anyway enjoyable chapter as always.
I wonder if Chrysalis will have take over Canterlot with Snuggelbugs when the royals return. Snuggels for world dominations ♡!
Luna" Mine!" ... You can have the encore ~♡"
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Aphrodite tits! You really went full gear here. Chapter 20 "The innuendo train has no breaks"
10936575
I guess that he is not with Celestia...yet. XD
"Oh, Cadence, just the Pony we need. We're discussing Exporting Page's Wood for my Bedroom, and you're the Princess of Shipping!"
10936575
The fact he flirts with Celestia non-stop, while being completely oblivious because Page is going to Page (despite doing the same thing with Sunset). Meanwhile, Celestia is terrified of confessing her true feelings, seemingly for fear of stealing Luna's husband - the reading of this is that given the reason Luna turned into Nightmare Moon was Celestia 'taking' all the adoration for herself, Celestia doesn't want to 'take' Page, either to avoid splitting his time with Luna, or worse for fear of Page coming to prefer herself over her sister. Despite the two sisters arguing over it in Repercussions off page, with Luna calling her sister an idiot to Page (who naturally can't figure out it's about him despite Luna's obvious hint that he'll be the first to know if Celestia finally gets over her fears).
Page meanwhile is so stupid on this matter that he glosses over the fact Celestia blatantly did not want Page to leave for Bathorse Town, and also fails to cotton on to the significance of the fact that if she had asked him to stay, he would have.
Honestly, the best course of action for both of them would be to go into someone's bedroom for a few days and thoroughly resolve the matter.
So there you have it. They both love each other. Page is a fucking idiot. Sunhorse is afraid.
And Cadance is mad.
10936645
And one near-death experience wasn't enough for them to get their shit sorted out.
10936575
Reread the conversation between him and celestia while your brain is in the gutter if you don't get it then go further into the gutter if you don't get it at that point you are not old enough
The innuendo have been doubled!!
Candence: JUST FUCK ALREADY!
Was the point of this chapter 'how many innuendos can be squeezed in while having a rather normal conversation with a straight face'?
Loved it but lovebutt just rubs me off wrong, i don't hate her
Hell Idk if I dislike her but she's just, dislikeable to me. But that's also me and i general don't like love obsessed stalker Cadance
10936575
I think it has to do with sunbutt in one way or another, but it could also be something completely different
Edit: Im a idiot
After this chapter I think the story needs a mature tag
Phenomenal set of stories, I love almost everything about them so far, read through them in about a week, and I can't wait to read more.
Typically I hate 1000 or so word chapters, but you make it work so wonderfully, and your time skips are executed too well, the 5? 6? Year timeline simply wouldn't have worked so well with other methods I've seen, and breaking the stories up into smaller ones really helps focus the intent. Excellent work.
Are they flirting, do they even know what they say ? XD
So manny innuendos XD
So many woods and hard things XD
Yeah
No Celestia you are making him hard
Way too many fucking innuendos! It was tolerable when it was on and off, but this chapter drowns in them!
ONCE AGAIN...ANOTHER DRAMATIZATION OF HIVER'S WRITING PROCESS...
Discord: No Hiver wait! Don't do it! Sexual innuendos...your fans can only handle so much in one chapter!
Hiver: NEVER~! You and my readers have been acting like I've deprived you of ship-worthy goodness for too long! If you're going to beg for more, I'll give it to you!
Discord: You're insane!
Hiver: YOU MADE ME INSANE! Call me Agatha Trunchbull because you're about to eat some chocolate cake!
*dials the sexual innuendos to eleven*
Discord: Sweet Equestria...what have we done...
*Hiver laughs manically with thunder and lightning behind him*
You're just an evil man. You know that? This whole chapter is just page and sunbutt screaming at one another that they wanna fuck. And I promise you Luna would be down to watch it. Fuck even join in cause she's cool and freaky like that. But I do have another thing to say about this chapter.
Nice
...At first i saw funny innuendos, but now i see a DENSE pony, just like the 'wood page'
10936648
Indeed, the question is if they don't figure out on their own, i think his mares are going to spill out the obvious.
Now i can see why Cadence is going MAD.
Things are going too smooth. Something is bound to happen, but I am thinking it will be less Rexasaurus and more an attack by ponies angry at Celestia.
Wow... Somepony give them a horse load of aphrodisiacs, lock them in a bedroom and let those two go at it! Celestia got it real bad for Page and he is truly a clueless stallion way too much.
10936645
Well, that too, but I meant that Cadance came to town angry, that's what makes me curious, why, but maybe it's as they say and it has to do with Celestia, maybe
I royally laughed my ass off at this chapter. I think the reason Page has been so busy over the last few months hasn't been because he's been running the colony, he's actually been sitting at his desk practicing his innuendos for the next verbal spar with Celestia.
BTW, random apostrophe got loose
10936777
Who would be angry at Celestia?
10936562
For those who don't speak Russian the translation according to Google translate is as follows:
It looks like Celestia will soon be with Page too. Yuhu) Poor Cadence, no one listens to her)
A veritable innuendo storm this chapter, my word! Probably two years worth caught up in five minutes. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to suspect that while the cat (or in this case, white horse) is away, the mice are playing back home...
Yes, looking at you, Lord Bubblewater.
Where are bugs? So many chapters already and there are no bugs here, outside of Amber. We need Skitter and Chrysalis, they are mandatory!

It was mentioned early on that ponies here didn’t want to celebrate the Summer Sun Celebration, aka Celestia Day. My thoughts being some Thestrals might still be bitter at her for “not doing enough” for Thestrals.
Now that she is here they might see it as an opportunity to lash out at here.
I hope not, I like Celestia and she has enough to worry about.
I knew they were purposely making vague innuendos!
It was tough to prove though, well done.
Well, that conversation was hilarous.
Also oddly wholesome. Looks to me like this particular ship is actually on a good, steady course.
10937043
True, true…but now that I think about it, it would make for a good conflict. Conflict with Page’s village, make their budding relationship even harder to do, make Celestia resentful towards making any more moves and make Cadance more inclined to do something about them
I loved this chapter, but it does remind me, wasn't page writing a naughty book for sunshine? I wonder what happened to that🤔
Sweet Luna's teats....so much innuendo...
Oh, you naughty trolls, you...
The comment section is sooo beautyful
So it wasn't just me catching a whole lot of innuendos there.
H A H !

I warned you! Yes, I know I'm 2-3 years to late, but I warned you!
Celestia wants Page's hard wood in her bedroom. Classic.

Even though this entire chapter was just trollbait for the shippers, I love it. ❤️
