“Princess! What’s wrong? D-did I do something?!”

>You felt a panic attack creeping up on you, the ruler of this nation is bawling her eyes out on your chest and you have no idea why

>What do you do!?!

>Awkwardly, you wrap Celestia in an embrace as she cries as hard as she could

>You swear you hear her saying something

“Your highness? Did…did I do something to offend you?”

>She looks you in the face as a fresh wave of tears spill over her eyes

>”I-I’m sorry…I’m sorry I’m sorry…”      

>A bad feeling creeps up on you…What had she done?

“Princess? What happened?”

>She sniffles and pulls herself from you, looking at the ground

>”Anonymous…I saw everything…”

>Silence

>Your scalp prickles as you process the thought

>They had magic here so did she…?

>You gulp and push away a budding spot of anger

“What do you mean?” you ask, inwardly fearing the answer

>Celestia winces, flattening her ears and lowering herself some, looking like an animal that knows she had done wrong

>”I…Read your mind, all of it”

>No

>That bitch…

>Murder is the first thing to come to mind, the only thing holding you back is how you’re unsure of the consequences

“Come. Again?” you ask, your tone cold as ice as your face hardens into an expression that would have made stone look joyful

>Celestia flinches, as if expecting to be struck

>”I’m sorry Anonymous…but you heard me correctly”

>You can’t help it, in a flash Mixed Blessing appears in your hand, the diamond blade catching and refracting the light into a medley of colors

>Celestia’s eyes widen as she backs away, well aware of how deadly the sword is

>And how that deadliness jumps several times in your hands

“You…you violated me on a level I can’t even describe!” you roar, eyes flashing in anger

>The alicorn looks ready to bolt, wings open and eyes wide

“What in the world could warrant that?”

>I-I needed to be s-sure that you…”

“And some questions wouldn’t have sufficed?” you accuse, walking forward slowly, still angered as you could get

>Celestia’s hooves scrape against the floor as she backs herself to the wall as fast as she could

>Yes

>You have her right where you want

>You raise Blessing to cleave her skull in two

>Right before you swing the infinitely sharp blade you stop

>What…What are you doing?

>You look Celestia in the face

>She’s terrified, knees shaking with the beginning of tears collecting at the corners of her eyes

>Most likely she is too shell shocked from your memories to defend herself

>Quickly your anger dissipates at the sight

>Diminished, you sigh and slump your shoulders, Mixed Blessing vanishing into storage in a flash of light

>Celestia, realizing her end had been postponed, takes a deep breath and shakily recomposes herself, though her voice is still laced with tremors

>”A-Anonymous?”

>You bring a hand up and pinch the bridge of your nose

>Why did all of this bullshit tend to happen to you?

>Best make amends now

>You sigh and look her in the eye

“I…apologize for that, as you may now be aware, I’m not the best at controlling myself in situations like that…”

>Celestia remains silent for a moment “So, does that mean you forgive me?”

>You give her a dead look      

“Forgiveness is just permission for you to do it again”

>The alicorn’s face falls

“But,”

>She looks back to you, expression full of hope

“I am willing to forget, to just leave this in the past where it belongs”

>You ease your expression some

“Just don’t rouse my memories of this, or any others for that matter”

>Celestia has the decency to look sheepish

>You take a deep breath and gather your thoughts

>She couldn’t have known… But it was a huge invasion of privacy

>What do you do?

>You sort of dismissed Celestia taking action outside of the room, seeing as how she appeared so nice and genuine in her apology

>You look her in the eye

“Never again”

>She gives you a mute nod

>”Anon, if it makes you feel any better, I know how hard the curse of agelessness is”

>Now THAT made you pause

>Seeing your silence as a reason to continue, she does so

>”Believe it or not, I am almost 1300 years old…I am well acquainted with loneliness”

>You turn toward her, feeling an unsure expression come to your face

>She takes a few steps closer to you

>”For 1000 years, I was alone, not isolated like you, but my sister, the one of only other alicorns went berserk and needed to be stopped, so I sealed her into the moon for a full 1000 years”

>Closer, hardly 5 feet away

>”I…Truly am sorry Anon, I know it’s not easy and I had no right to see that…”

>Less than a foot

>”Can we…start over?”

>Celestia finishes with her face hardly a few inches from your own

>Uncomfortable does not even begin to describe this

>She invaded you in a way that you hardly even comprehend…

>Yet she realizes her error and wants to make amends for it

>Well…       

>…No

>What right did she have?

>None

>You’re going to make her work for this

>You smile ruefully

“We’ll see princess, my memory tends to be good”

>She smiles unsurely and backs away from you

>Walking away from you to the door, she opens it with a flash of magic and beckons you along

>” So princess, did you learn everything you needed?”

>You notice Celestia’s smile become strained

>”Indeed Twilight, I can say without a doubt that Anonymous is both trust worthy and kind”

>Her answer made the smaller p0nie’s faces light up

>She turns to you

>”Anon, please enjoy your stay in P0nyville, I will run some paper work to make you a citizen soon enough”

>Paperwork?

>Oh, records just written on paper

>Seems useless to you but to each their own

>You see her silently mouth ‘If you need anything from me, ask Twilight’

>A nod is your response

>Celestia smiles wanly and turns to the door

>”As always, it was a pleasure to see you my little p0nies, take care” the sun deity calls over her shoulder as she leaves

>Now outside, Celestia spreads her wings and with one mighty flap, leave the ground with a “FWOOM” and a cloud of dust

>Twilight shuts the door and turns back to you

>”I knew she would like you Anon!”

>Oh Twilight, only if you knew”

>”Now that that’s all sorted out,”

>The purple unicorn looks out the window and spies the sun dropping

>”Where are you going to stay Anon?”

>Twilight looks around at her friends

>All of them stare back, shuffling about slightly

>You frown at the display

>These p0nies are your friends now right?

>And if your somewhat foggy memory serves you right, then friends didn’t burden each other without good reason

>But it was a good question

>Where are you going to stay?

>…

>Oh god dammit

>That’s right

“Um, Twilight? If you could just lead me to an empty plot of land, I could just build a place for myself”

>She turns and looks at you skeptically

>”Anon, you can’t build a whole house in one day, that’s not possible!”

>She can use magic and she talks about impossible?

>You feel a flare of competitiveness in your chest

“Very well Twilight, challenge accepted”

>”Challenge accepted? Sugercube Ah’ve seen some crazy stuff in mah time, but a house in one night?” Applejack says, her tone laced with doubt

“I’m sure”

>For a moment they are all silent

>”I am willing to believe it”

>All eyes turn to Rarity

>She looks back with a calculating expression “Think about it girls, what reason would Anon have to lie?”

>The other p0nies glance around and murmur before considering what Rarity said

>”In fact, I know just the place! Come along everyp0ny.”

>Rarity trots to the door, opening it with a flash of her horn as she walks out

>Having one last group glance, you and the 5 others follow

>The instant you are outside you feel so many eyes on you as the p0nie around town stop to stare at you

>You gulp, it’s a lot more intimidating now that these eyes have voices as well

>Low whispers sound about the town square as you and the other walk through

>A sudden burst of claustrophobia over takes you, making you shiver as you see the crowd of p0nies you all pass do nothing but stare

>Your heart begins to pound as your palms sweat, this was bad

>Being around other should be nice right?

>Then why is this so terrifying?

>You take a deep breath and focus on the path; this is just something you will have to get used to

>”Say Anon?” Rainbow’s scratchy voice cuts you from your thoughts

>”How are you gunna make a house in one day?” She asks as she takes flight next to you

>The others walk a little closer, interested as well

>You’re not sure how well they will understand the specifics of your powers, so you opt for a simple explanation

“You know of my matter transformation power already, so I’ll just say that it’s not my only one”

>All of them save Twilight seem confused

>”Well?” Rainbow asks

“Well what?”

>”What other magic do you know?” she finishes impatiently, crossing her fore hooves as she fluttered in the air next to you  

>You smile a little

“Well, I guess I could tell you”

>All of the pastel p0nies lean in to listen

“It’s…

>They all lean in even closer

“…A surprise”

>Everyone of them almost trip at the unexpected answer

>”Anon! that’s not nice!” Pinkie exclaims a pout on her face

>Oh shit

>Had, had you messed up?

>Oh no…

>”Just kidding!” Pinkie says as she bounds forward

>Wow

>You really thought you had offended them

>That was a close one

>You sigh, maybe not living alone would be harder than you thought

>The rest of the walk is spent in silence, your group heading out to the outskirts of town, much to your silent relief  

>”Here we are” Rarity announces as the group reaches a half-acre of land occupied by only a concrete slab

>You walk forward and take a look and the concrete

“Rarity?”

>”Yes darling?”

“Is this the foundation of an old house?”

>The alabaster unicorn thinks for a moment “I do believe so, the old home was torn down due to parasprite damage”

>You’re not sure what a parasprite is but if the foundation is ok then that means less work for you

“Alright then, stand back, I’m not sure how much space I will need”

>All of them take a few steps back and watch intently

>Looking at the slab, a thousand ideas come to you in an instant, your powerful mind quickly and accurately measuring everything out

>Taking a deep breath, you finalize what you want and begin

>Raising a hand crackling with energy, you slam it onto the slab

>With a bright flash of light and the sound of lightning, glowing dust races from your hand out and around the slab, before raising itself into the wooden skeleton of a single story house with an angled roof

>The frame work done, you walk into the part-way done house and spread your arms out, hands still glowing

>Wooden planks fire out of your hands as if they were launched from cannon, coming together inside the house with machine like accuracy and forming walls complete with spots for windows and a door

>The walls done, you point your hands upward and repeat, making a ceiling

>You look around and nod

>Walking outside, you ignore the wide eyes and dropped jaws of the p0nies for a moment in favor of placing your hands on the outside of the unfinished house

>Another flash and the section of the outside wall is boarded as well

>Walking around the house, you repeat the action until the walls of the outside are closed in, stopping at window holes to fill them with glass

>Last part

>With a jump, you launch yourself up on top of the still bare roof

>Dragging a hand as you walk long the roof, shingles appear and form in tiers, covering the roof and shielding the insides from the elements

>Jumping down, you finally notice the girls

>Still wide eyed and slack jawed, jaw actually touching the ground in Pinkie’s case

>Twilight is the first to recover

>Shaking her head she just gives you a tired look

>”Something tells me P0nyville won’t be boring with you around Anon”

~~~~~

>Deep in the Everfree Forest, small, swirling particles of purple begin to gather

>Forming a small mass, the purple simply floats in midair

>If someone were to put their ear next to it then they would hear rather unsettling noises

>With a small flash, the purple mass grows slowly…
