help 4

its been about 3 months.

 

my life with celestia has ... had to stop.

 

in the relationship way i mean.

 

you see, the princess has gotten most of her magic back, and is now able to move her wings freely. she still has time till the rest of her starts moving though. she has taken back her role of the one that raises the sun and most of her politcal duties.

 

i have gone back into being her gaurd. i never thought i would have to have this get up on again.

 

a chest plate with the face of a manticore on it. a pouldron with a slight cape on it on my left shoulder. fuald and leggings. ive been given a new sword and shield since the last two broke... training does some stuff to people.... and maybe i was a little mad at the time.

 

okay... im really mad. i know its not her fualt... its just... i dont know anymore.

 

luna: anon... you have to come to the main hall immediately!

 

>why? whats happening?

 

luna was already galloping to get there.

 

as you sprint to the main hall, you begin to see them.

 

changelings.

 

with all the anger you already had for them... it was easy to get right infront of the queens face and-

 

celestia: ANON! STOP!

 

... what?

 

you turn to face celestia who was about to cast a spell... at you.

 

>whats the meaning of this?!

 

luna: they have come to make a treaty.

 

>... and you dont find this questionable... what so ever?

 

celestia: i will admit, this was very shocking for me. i did not believe chrysalis at first, but after reading her mind... i can tell she is telling the truth.

 

you turn to the queen of te changelings.

 

her eyes are fixated on the scar she gave you.

 

she gave you the scar on you face when you had her pinned on the floor, and she told you that you left celestia to die.

 

you step towards celestia giving her a very worried look. she in turn gives you a knowing nod.

 

i dont know what celestia's up to, but its not safe for her.

 

chrysalis: anonymous?

 

>...what?

 

that came out cold, but she deserves it.

 

chrysalis: i do not know how to tell you how sorr-

 

>dont. you cant say that.

 

celestia: anonymous!

 

luna: he is right. she has not yet earned the right to speak with such... friendlyness around us yet.

 

celestia: the treaty has already been signed. i will not have a guest be ostracised in my kingdom!

 

chrysalis: no celestia, they are right. i nor my kind have yet to earn that right.

 

she is trying to suck up. you can feel that there is another motive here. what is she playing at.

 

>... name your place here changeling.

 

chrysalis: besides the treaty, we wish to have a small amount of land near or in your kingdom. we know that your rule will be above mine.

 

luna: what happened to your nest?

 

chrysalis: pheonix migration. everything was lost. we are starving, the young ones are starting to wither. i am at all of your mercy.

 

you look to the flock of changelings and realize most of them are in fact families. some children are on the backs of thier parents, some leaking green liquids. blood?

 

>are there sick?

 

chrysalis: this is what happenes when we starve. our bodies eat through ourselfs for nourishment.

 

that is a little sad... but you stand your ground when you said you think they have another motive in this.

 

>so you came here in search for love?

 

chrysalis: indeed. my powers cant keep them.. *cough*... alive for much longer.

 

she coughed up some blood herself. she must have been feeding her kind through her power.

 

>.... make one false move and i will be there to smite.

 

chrysalis looks at you with a weak smile.

 

chrysalis: thank you.

 

the changelings are lead to a certain part of the castle that could be consider bigger on the inside than the outside.... magic.

 

it looked like a forest in fact. maybe this wasnt apart of the castle but a portal to a different place.

 

>princess, where are we exactly?

 

celestia grimaces at your choice of calling her princess instead of her name, but goes to explain that she created this place not to long before the canterlot wedding in hopes of giving this place to anyone who needed it.

 

luna and celestia start to leave the room to the changelings so you head towards them as well untill:

 

chrysalis: anonymous... i truely am sorry... we were desperate. i know we- no-  i have no right in saying that i am... but i am terribly sorry.

 

you look at her. her eyes are watering up. if she was good at faking emotions, this was a good fake.

 

>... prove it.

 

chrysalis: ...w-what?

 

>prove that you are sorry. during your time here, i want you to help celestia any way you can. i will be keeping a very watchful eye. if i see you step out of line even once, your head is off.

 

chrysalis once again weakly smiles and wipes away some tears that might have or might not have been fake.

 

chrysalis: i thank you once again anonymous... for giving me such a chance.

 

>... your welcome. just.... dont blow it.

 

you leave her with those words, you do not know if she is telling lies anymore. she actually seems sincere.

 

once it gets time for night you lead celestia to her room.

 

celestia: care to joi-

 

>i will keep watch outside princess.

 

once again she grimaces.

 

celestia: anon i-

 

>sleep well princess.

 

she wheels herself into her room and gently closes the door behind herself. you hear her thunk onto the bed.

 

should you be so hard on her?

 

you dont mean to be. you just a lot to work off right now. she has to compensate right now for being gone for so long, the changelings are here and you need to be on gaurd more, and your still a little mad that your relationship got stopped in the first place (even if she wont admit it).

 

thats right. you dont have time for a relationship. you are on duty.

 

....on duty....

-----------------------------------

 

the next morning, you are met with a not so well rested celestia. she looks at your tired form and worries.

 

celestia: anon, did you stay up al night?

 

>protection comes before sleep princ-

 

celestia: stop that! anon, what has happened? what happened... to us?

 

>that was never going to happen princess.

 

celestia: anonymous i-

 

>i shall escort you to the dining hall.

 

you... you know now that you have to do this not only for her, but for her peoples sake. what would they all think of the princess dating a shaved monkey anyway?

 

she gets the point that you arent going to speak to her like you normally would. she gets a little red in the face and trys to do the same to you.

 

celestia: then escort me gaurd.

 

you can since she is royaly pissed at you.

 

good.

 

you need her far away as possible from the thought of being with you.

 

you escort her to the dining hal to find some changelings working instead of the normal ponies.

 

>what is the meaning of this?

 

luna: chrysalis came to me at night and asked if her kind could be of any assistance. i gave most of them jobs. i may not like the thought of being tricked, but i too know the feeling of wanting a second chance anonymous.

 

luna became nightmare moon once. she was cast to the moon for 1000 years before coming back again. twilight and her friends became the elements af harmony and basicaly calmed her down enough for her to think clearly. she has since become a good person... p0ny.

 

>... did you give some of them jobs as cooks?

 

luna: yes, but i have gaurds positioned to keep a close eye on what they do to the food, along with the other cooks that is.

 

you look around to see that the changelings look a whole lot better than they did the other day.

 

you see chrysalis come towards you and the two princesses.

 

chysalis: it seems as though some of your ponies have taken a liking to my kind. i thank you immensely for this chance luna.

 

luna: you have used your chance wisely. if you tend to keep your relationship with us like this, then you and your changelings shall become forgiven.

 

although you still do not trust any of them, it seems as though they are trying.

 

but... a gaurd is not supossed to think in a way that anyone else would. a guard needs to think of the safety of those he serves and protects.

 

celestia: chrysalis. are your kind able to get any nutrition from foods?

 

chrysalis: only a small amount. our diet only consists of emotions, but our bodies can convert food into a little protien if needed.

 

celestia: would you care to join us at the table?

 

chysalis: me and my kind would be delighted celestia.

 

you stand behind celestia to keep an eye on everything. you already know the food can not be poisoned, for the cooks and gaurds have kept a close eye on them... but it is never too safe.

 

they converse about equestria as of now, technology, polotics, and many other things. some topics lead to who celestia and luna liked... it got a bit awkward on that bit. after that, it went on to how chrysalis is a queen even though she doesnt have a king. you see the changelings are like bees in a way. once a new queen changeling is born, thats the new ruler.

 

after breakfast, you followed celestia throughout the castle as she showed the changelings where everything was if they so needed it. once and awhile you would get a glimps of chrysalis giving a weak smile your way, she seems to be falling back behind the group.

 

you fall back as well to see what is wrong.

 

>what seems to be the problem?

 

chrysalis: although we may be getting love by some ponies, it is not all. sure my kind are getting healthier by the moment, but i must also keep them in check with my powers.

 

>what do you mean?

 

chysalis: they use up energy quite fast you see.

 

>im sorry to hear.

 

... did you just say sorry?

 

she giggles at you.

 

chrysalis: it seems even if you hate me, you share some concern for me and my kind.

 

>..... i guess its just human code of honor talking.

 

well... some of it. most humans wouldnt even want to be here. or they would want to exploit everything.

 

chrysalis: .... what is your real name?

 

you stop dead in your tracks.

 

>how did you know?

 

no one in equestria even questioned your name before.

 

chrysalis: no parent would give their son a name that meant they didnt have a name.

 

>well... your right in the guess that it is not my real name, but it is my name here. i have grown quite close to it infact.

 

chrysalis: you discarded your old name for a new world?

 

>i guess you could put it like that. but my first day here... i couldnt really trust anyp0ny.

 

chysalis: you dont have to say anyp0ny. just say what you are confortable with.

 

>that was one of the changes ill probably never get used to. saying p0ny infront of things that imply a mass amount of them. getting back to the point, i didnt trust anyone.

 

chysalis: why is that?

 

>well, imagine being flung out of your own time and world, and being set in one that was completley alien to the one you came from, and you were the only one of your kind?

 

chrysalis: you mean to say you are the only human here?!

 

>...yes.... and be glad about that.

 

chysalis: you do not wish for at least a human female to be here?

 

>in my world they had gone down the gutter so to speak. after there was an age where they started being called the flappers, they slowly began to look more and more pitiful.

 

chysalis: flappers?

 

>you probably had an age like that too here in equestria. i mean, you do have jazz.

 

chysalis: oh... yes there was a new style, but everyone stayed the same personality wise, if not just joining in on the craze. please... tell me what your days were like here.

 

you look ahead of you, celestia is still telling a story about each room. you may have time.

 

>... i hope this doesnt come around to bite me in the... butt.

 

you changed your wording for two reasons: 1. they believe ass means donkey here in equestria. 2. that is a lady you are speaking to, even if she tryed to kill everyone you know and care about.

 

>*sigh*.... it was just a normal day on earth. i had been working at a lawfirm as a secutary... excuse me... legal assistant. i was about... 19 years old then i think? anyway... i was suposed to have a day off, when i got a call from one of my many bosses to come in anyway since someone else was sick and somehow that meant i was suposed to do thier work for them.

 

she giggles a little bit at your misfortune... just like anyone esle would really.

 

chrysalis: im sorry anonymous... its just that you are putting out some funny emotions talking about this.

 

>you can feel other emotions?

 

chrysalis: i can use them as well, but love is the only thing that gives nurishment to us.

 

>well... back to the story then. i was driving my car to work when a portal came out of nowhere. i slammed on my brakes but nothing worked... it felt like i was getting pulled in as of then.

----------------------------------------

 

>shit shit shit SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIT!!!

 

you are being pulled into a portal thing, and your emergency brakes arent doing a damn thing for you. your the only damn thing on the road... lucky other people.

 

well... if your going to die, you like to say a few things.

 

> FUCK EVERYONE THAT WORKS AT GAMESTOP!!! NO, I DONT WANNA BUY THAT STUPID CARD TO GET STUPID POINTS THAT AMOUNT TO NOTHING!!!

 

and like that, you were pulled into the vortex.

 

as you are pulled into the portal, you close your eyes shut good and hard awaiting any kind of eminse feeling like pain. after about 10 seconds:

 

*crash*

 

>*sharp and long inhale* .... aaaaaaaaaaaah....... *sharp and long inhale*....... aaaaaaaaah..... fuckin hurt....

 

you were on a floor now, and not in your car.

----------------------------------------------------------

 

>come to think about it, what ever did happen to my car when i came out the portal? i was in it the whole time... oh well...

----------------------------------------------------------

 

you slowly but surley get up, and look around.

 

okay, got some pillars, some rugs that lead up to a..... unicorn... pegasus.... on a throne....

 

what?

 

>what?

 

the unicorn... thing looks suprised.

 

how can a unicorn thing look suprised?

 

wait...

 

she seems.... cartoony... 2d in fact...

 

you look at your hands and notice... that you are as well.... 2d.

 

>AAAAAH!!!!

 

you flail your body to the ground again.

 

???: excuse me... but how did you get here?

 

the unicorn thing-

 

celestia: my name is celestia, and i am an alicorn.

 

did.... did she just-

 

celestia: yes, i read your mind.

 

>AAAAAH!!!

 

you are ingulfed into some kind of magical aura.

 

>AAAAAH!!!

 

celestia: please sir... calm down.

 

> ....... *sharp inhale*.... *deep exhale*....

 

celestia: im going to slowly put you back o nthe ground, okay?

 

you nod.

 

she slowly puts you on the ground as she said she would.

 

celestia:.... better?

 

>nope.

 

you begin to dash for it. she almost got you in another one of those magic things but you threw your blazer over her head and that just destroyed her gaurd.

 

you sprint through a huge fucking door and into a hallway filled with.... ponies?

 

wait... some are different... some have wings and others have horns... pegasi and unicorns?

 

>AAAAAAH!!!

 

one of the ponies: AAAAAH!!!

 

>AAAAAH!!!!

 

you sprint some more to a different hallway and probably a different part of the.... castle... are you in a fucking castle?

 

you dodge ponies and continue to sprint till you see another big door, you kick that one open so you keep your momentum.

 

once outside... you see it.

 

you see the world.

 

your not on earth anymore.

 

how do you know?

 

well... your 2d, ponies and... alicorns can talk, and you can see i giant floating city made out of clouds from here.

 

you slump down to the ground and rest on your back.

 

>oh man...

 

you rub your head. you didnt like this at all.

 

suddenly you hear a fimiliar voice.

 

celestia: sir? are you... finished?

 

>... now i am.

 

celestia: i take it that you arent used to any of this?

 

>correct.

 

celestia: and that you probably come from another world.

 

>correct.

 

celestia:... and that where you come from ponies dont talk, and that unicorn - pegasi- and alicorns dont exist.

 

>read my mind again?

 

celestia: im sorry, but im having a hard time grasping the thought that someone from another universe just fell into my throneroom.

 

>.....wait... rewind.... another.... universe?

 

celestia: as you have noticed, everything is percieved differently correct?

 

>yeah.... everything is... 2d... kinda. i can still see in the 3rd dimention... but everything looks cartoony to me.

 

celestia: cartoony?

 

>i believe we both need to talk.

-----------------------------------------

 

chrysalis: you were afriad of everything?

 

>like i said, how would you feel if you were flung onto an alien planet?

 

chrysalis: i would indeed be scared.

 

>yep.

 

chysalis: what happened next?

-----------------------------------------

 

you and celestia converse about both of your worlds.

 

as time went one, you began to notice how more and more celestia would look sad towards you.

 

celestia:.... what is your name?

 

you can sort of trust her, but it would be best to give her false information just in case.

 

>.... anonymous.... call me anon.

 

celestia looks at you like she is searching through your heart.

 

>deal with it.

 

celestia: excuse me?

 

>you heard me.

 

celestia: why would you want to give me false information? your not an enemy here.

 

> but you might be.

 

celestia looks at you for awhile and then begins a heartful laugh.

 

celestia: i guess we do seem a little scary at first. well anonymous... im... im afraid to tell you that i wont be able to send you back to your world.

 

>why not?

 

celestia: i cant cross through dimentions anon. magic cant do that. you seem to have been taken from your world through a worm hole.

 

... fucking great.

 

>if you excuse me... im going to go kill myself now.

 

celestia gasps and stops you were you stand with magic.

 

celestia; anonymous the human, i will not have any of my subjects commit suicide!

 

.... wait a minute...

 

>subjects?

 

you look around again one more time.

 

castle? check.

 

throneroom? check.

 

crown? check.

 

...... oh shit..... youve been talking to a queen!

 

celestia: princess.

 

princess!

 

she giggles.

 

celestia: fear not anonymous, it feels nice to be talked to as just a p0ny and not as royalty once and awhile.

 

>still though... im terribly sorry.

 

celestia: think nothing of it. since you will not be able to leave equestria... i will have a room set up for you here in the castle for now.

-----------------------------------------

 

>and thats how all of this started. over the years, me and celestia became friends. she sent me to p0nyville at one point to see if i could make friends, the first to find me was a p0ny named pinkie pie. after all that has happened i can defenatly call this my home.

 

chrysalis: that was a wonderful story anon.

 

you look her in the eyes.

 

chrysalis: oh my. im so sorry... i meant to say anonymous. please forgive my rudene-

 

>its alright... you may call me anon if you wish. i am giving you a chance after all.

 

as if like it was her job to do so, she smiles at you.

 

chrysalis: i thank you once again.... anon.

 

she giggles. you two have made it back to the rest of the group. apparently your story had pepped her up some.

 

you and her converse in some other stories along the way, laughing at one anothers funny ones.

-------------------------------------------

 

celestia's POV:

 

you have been listening to anon the whole way.

 

you remember the first day you met him. you didnt know what to make of him at all. you knew he was not evil, but you also knew that he could have been a threat if he wanted to be.

 

that aside, you developed a friendship with him those years he spent here, and then even more than that as time went on. anonymous does not know that you have had a crush on him before you started flirting with him way back when.

 

you found him to be charming when he let his true personality out.

 

you knew that he still keeps his true name hidden from everyone, but if he wishes for his name to be anonymous, then it is anonymous.

 

you hear him and chrysalis laugh.

 

could she be...

 

no. she cant even do that. anon dislikes her deep down to not fall for her.

 

but is she trying to? she does seem more lively around him.

 

oh, you knew you should have just gave some of your power to her so she would have been able to keep up. then again, anonymous would have been mad at you for using your magic like that at all.

 

anonymous... hes been calling you princess on purpose latley. why is he dodging you? you can still feel that he loves you, but he is keeping you both apart for some reason. your going to find out why soon, if not just after this tour.

 

it is starting to become night. i guess i should stop worrying about telling stories about each place and just hurry it up. i mean, i really do want to talk to anonymous.

 

you swear, if he tries to shut you out again, your just going to pull him into your room and.... and.... you dont even know what your going to do.

---------------------------------------------

 

anon's POV:

 

chrysalis defenatly looks alot better than she did awhile ago... you guess that is good.

 

the tour ended awhile back and you now escort celestia and the changelings back to the dimentional part of the castle they were given.

 

chrysalis: thank you once again for the wonderful stories. i enjoyed them.

 

>as did i.

 

she gives a bigger smile than she usually does.

 

celestia: well then... i shall be off. anonymous, escort me to my room.

 

did you hear a bit of coldness in that? was she still mad at you for calling her princess? it looks like your plan was working.

 

celestia wheels herself to her door.

 

>i shall keep eye on-

 

you are pulled into the room via magic.

 

>princess this is a misuse of your pow-

 

celestia: SHUT UP!

 

.... oh man.

 

youve never made her pissed off like that before. you never even seen her that pissed off.

 

celestia: you! you said you would try and make this work anonymous! you said you loved me! i can still sence that you do! whats happened?

 

>.... i-

 

celestia: no anonymous... your going to tell me what has happened. one does simply not just quit, especially you.

 

>.... your right. i still love you.

 

celestia: then why? is this a test? do you want me to get up from this wheeled device and show you how much i love YOU?

 

>celestia no!

 

you run over to keep her in the wheelchair.

 

celestia: then what anonymous?

 

>.... ive been doing some thinking about how it would go down. your subjects wouldnt appreciate a monkey dating a princess, you wouldnt be as respected as you would be if you married someone else. we had already started to slip apart you know.

 

celestia: anonymous... excuse me when i say this... but.... but... fuck what they think.

 

...wow....

 

celestia: you have done so much for me in your stay here, you had become my greates friend, you had watched over me, protected me, saved my life, you said you loved me. youve done all of that for ME. anonymous, after all that we have been through... i would... i would do anything in my power to make sure we could be together no matter what.... and dont you dare think otherwise.

 

>pri-

 

celestia: if i hear you call me princess one more time im going to flog you with an endless amount of pillows. im going to cripple you with pillows anon.

 

that would be quite the feat.

 

>understood...

 

celestia: good.... now get on the bed and snuggle with me.

 

>but-

 

celestia: didnt i just blow my composure awhile ago to say... to say... fuck what they think?

 

she didnt like putting herself in front of her people, but this is one thing she really wanted you guess.

 

>as you wish.

 

you and her get in the bed like you used to. as you put your arm around her, she puts her wing around you.

 

celestia: you know... i could have gotten out of my seat and walked over to you.

 

>i would have pushed you back down in there the second i saw a single hair move.

 

celestia: anonymous.... were you serious when you said you wanted to marry me?

 

>... i... yes.... but i still dont know how that would work out in the end. i dont know how marrying works here.

 

celestia: a little like how it does in your world. but with bracelets instead of rings.

 

>hmm.... then how come when i was in p0nyville, mr. and mrs. cake werent wearing them?

 

celestia: they are taken off after the first year. it is a sign of trust.

 

>ah.... what color are they?

 

celestia: any.

 

>do they have to match?

 

celestia: if you want them to?

 

>do-

 

celestia: this should be a talk we have when im all better anon. if i have to wait for you.... then you have to wait for me.

 

>...deal.

 

you both continue to lay against each other and ocationally kiss and swap short stories with one another about each other.

 

it was a nice night, you would have to thank luna for calling in a rainy night.

 

the sound of the rain, and your matching breathing puts you both to sleep.
