help 5

who ever it was that said that time was a river, they were right.

 

its been 5 months since the changlings came here to prove themselfs. over the past 3 months, celestia has granted them to be outside their own home as well (or at least the one she has given them).

 

it seems as though the changelings and pony kind have made amends.

 

i recieved a letter from twilight not too long ago about her having a changeling neighbor.

 

there are some ponies that still think the changelings are up to no good, but they are few in number.

 

this month has been quite the pleasant one. equestria and gryphonia finally made amends (for real). cinema has made a big hit as of late. there is now free hospitals. and most important of all, celestia has finally started to get back onto her hoofs.

 

she is not very strong, but she is able to move none the less. she is still confined to the wheeled device (much to her dissaproval), but still.... she is getting better so much.

 

your relationship with her has been for the better as well.

 

just yesterday you spent the day with her outside. she doesnt get to go outside that much, so allowing her to see the grassy fields right next to her castle does so much for her.

 

these past months with the changelings have been amazing, you are proud of what they have done to prove themselfs, as is celestia.

 

you could say that you have made a friendship with chrysalis as well. she may have been theone to cause almost every bad thing here, but... she has redeem herself. you would be lying if you said that she was not a close friend as of now.

 

you two have become scu great friends, that you have shared alot of your past with her, and her to you.

 

you almost wish you could do that sort of thing with celestia.

 

celestia: anon... are you okay? you are staring off into space.

 

thats one thing you can never stop doing it seems. dreaded habit, especialy around company.

 

>sorry... just thinking.

 

celestia: the doctor says that he is baffled that i have made such a quick recovery as of so far.

 

>you have suprized everyone.

 

celestia: even you?

 

>no... i knew you could do this. just think... a little longer, and you will be out of that wheeled-

 

celestia: abomination. i hate this thing so much. i would hunt them if they were living beings.

 

>would you really?

 

celestia: *sigh*.... no... i would greet them into my kingdom and make sure they were fine.... but i would curse them behind their back, thats for sure.

 

the love you have for this mare's sence of humor knows no bounds.

 

celestia: what were you thinking about anyway?

 

>just about all the good things hat have been happening lately.

 

celestia: and may we hope that they only get better.

 

she looks at you straight in your eyes. she always had this beautiful way of looking. like it was a knowing look.

 

celestia: you know.... ive been remembering all the times we have had before you became one of the guard.

 

>yeah? like what?

 

celestia: well, there was that one time when you showed me how to make french toast.

 

>i still cant believe no one here had even heard about it, none the less the gryphons.

 

gryphons were europian in a way, or they at least had that feel about them.

 

celestia: oh... and there was that time when you went to your first ball here.

 

>the grand galloping galla.....

 

yeah... you remember that night perfectly.

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

 

>stop fussing with the tie.

 

rarity: oh, but it needs to look more... tight.

 

>rarity, if it was any tighter, my head would be cut off. now stop.

 

rarity huffs and steps down from the stool.

 

rarity: honestly anon, you look good, but you could be better. this is the reason why i asked you to let me work on your cloths more.

 

>knowing you, it would have been filled to the brim with jewels and gems.

 

rarity's face becomes red.

 

rarity: n-no i would not have. i would have only p-put them on the sleeves.

 

>rarity... it looks great the way it is. you did an amazing job. thank you.

 

rarity's face goes less red, but still has a shade of it.

 

rarity: do... do you really think so?

 

>yes... now, where is everyone else? i thought we were heading in a group.

 

rarity: we need to go to twilight's. everyone is meeting there first. how do i look? any frills out of place?

 

>you look fine, but you should let your hai- sorry- mane down.

 

rarity: why?

 

>well, why not? it would look almost new for you. i for one have never seen your hair down. who knows, you might start a new thing.

 

rarity giggles and squees. she then removes thees clip looking things and her hair falls down.

 

>wow... gorgous.

 

she blushes.

 

you both head over to twilights tree.

 

you knock on the door, and hear chattering on the other side.

 

twilight: about time you showed up anon! hey rarity.

 

of caurse YOU get the blame and rarity gets away scott free. she was the reason why youre BOTH late.

 

>so were here. what now?

 

applejack: now we godda get onna' train pard. wow... howed you get rarity to not put ANY darn gems on yah?

 

>i thought they would look gay.

 

everyone cracks up except for rarity

 

rarity: i thought they would look dashing on you anonymous! hmmph.

 

>rarity... im a guy... guys dont wear jewlery unless they are gay.

 

rarity: prove it.

 

>name one straight guy who wears jewlery rarity.

 

she looks towards the sky with a face of puzzle.

 

rarity: oh! flamboyantsy!

 

>rarity... not only does his name imply he is homosexual... but he came out of the closet a long time ago.

 

rarity: oh... well... how about.... blue blood! i hate his guts, but hes not homosexual.

 

>GROSS!!! that dude tried to hit on me the last time i was in canterlot!

 

rarity: okay, so maybe he is a little bisexu-

 

>rarity, that guy owns a gay bar.

 

applejack: rarity... yer not gonna win this.

 

>yeah. i know every gay guy in equestria, because apparently im on freaking "hot stud weekly".... how do they even get those pictures?!

 

rainbow dash: i dont know... *cough*... somepony... really... really bad ponies.

 

fluttershy: i thought you looked swell in last weeks issue.

 

>what?

 

fluttershy: oh... um... well... you looked good in the tub.

 

>they took a picture of me... bathing?

 

fluttershy: um... is... is that bad?

 

>well... yeah... but my question is... how did they get in my house?

 

rainbow dash: *cough* totally bad thing to do... sneaking in your house like that.

 

>i bet you it was that lyra pony. she has always been staring at my hands for some while now.

 

twilight: alright... can we stop talking about how good you look? we need to get to the train.

 

>... that was private me time.

 

rainbow dash: *cough*

 

>you should really get that checked.

 

soon all 7 of you were on the train heading for canterlot.

 

twilight: so anon, since this is your first ball, and we are going to the grand galloping galla, i have taken it apon myself to make you a list of things you should do. a check list if you will.

 

>twilight. thats nice and all but-

 

twilight hands you a long scroll, and you mean long. when she writes things in detail, you best believe youre getting a book out of it.

 

>ugh... fine... but im only doing some of it since it seems you slaved over this thing all night.

 

twilight: it toook me about an hour to make that, and then another one to make sre i wasnt forgeting anything.

 

pinkie pie: oh man anon, this party is going to be great! last time we were here, i got to dance and.... actually... last time we were here i didnt have that much fun.... hmm.... well anyway, im sure this year will be TONS better than last year.

 

as you look outside the train to your destination, you couldnt help but think about who you were going to see.

 

celestia.

 

since she sent you to ponyville to get you used to your new life here, and even allowed you to use a rentable home that she provided for you, you havent seen her for over a month, and that was when discord got loose.

 

you were finally going to see her again after so long.

 

a month may not seem so bad for most people, but celestia was... she was very close to you.

 

twilight: what are you thinking aout anon?

 

>stuff.

 

twilight: come on anon, i know you only stare off like that when you are thinking about somethig important.

 

>..... stuff.

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

 

celestia: it seems as though twilight had you pegged from the start.

 

>yeah. it was still annoying to deal with.

 

celestia: do you really mean it when you liked  me.... even then?

 

>wanna read my mind?

 

celestia: no.. i believe you... it just makes me a little peeved that i also had the same feelings, and i never confessed to you then.

 

>i feel the same way. i felt like a coward.

 

celestia:... what else do you remember of that night?

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

 

as you arrive to the gaurded station of canterlot, you exit out of the train to see the castle near by.

 

applejack: yall head on in there, i gotta pay mah aunt and uncle a visit at the eatery nearby. havent seen mah little cousin in awhile too.

 

jesus, applejack has a huge familly.

 

rainbow dash: yeah, im going to go and try to find the-

 

everyone: wonderbolts, we know.

 

>its alright dash, we'll meet you later.

 

as you see applejack and rainbow dash go their ways, you and the rest of the gang head to the castle.

 

pinkie pie: what are you looking forward to the most anon?

 

>oh... i ..... i dunno. i uually just chat and mingle. not much that i expect from it.

 

your lying, you know exactly what you want to do.

 

>um... what are you guys gonna do?

 

rarity: i hear that there is an auction for dress designs,i am going to bid for the awfull ones and make them better.

 

pinkie pie: i have talked with celestia about organizing the after party! i nee to go set it up now!

 

twilight: since the galla doesnt actually start right now, i am going to the canterlot library to catch some study time. ill be there shortly afterward.

 

they all begin to leave.

 

wait, not all of them. fluttershy is still with you.

 

>whats up fluttershy?

 

fluttershy: i um.... just thought it would be best if i hung out wit you... um... that is, if you dont mind.

 

crap... you kinda do. you were going to head straight to the princess to catch up.

 

but if you told fluttershy to leave you alone like that-

 

no... wait... fluttershy is a strong mare.

 

>fluttershy, i was actually gonna go talk to the princess, i mean, if thats alright with you of coarse.

 

fluttershy perks up.

 

fluttershy: oh... so um... you and the princess ARE like that.

 

>like what?

 

fluttershy: oh, ive been shipping you two for forever.

 

>shipping?

 

fluttershy: oh... nothing. its just that... um... you should have a good night with the princess.

 

fluttershy giggles and squees as she gallops off to who knows where.

 

seriously... what is shipping?

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

 

celestia: oh my... dear fluttershy wanted it too?

 

>whats shipping even mean?

 

celetia: oh, nothing. go on.

 

oh, your finding out what it means by the end of the day.

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

 

you enter the castle like you thought everyone else in your group was. but they just go ahead and split up fom the start. ist that what made their last time.... bad? oh well. you were going to seperate from them sooner or later when you needed.

 

wow... there is a bunch of ponies here, and it hasnt even started. there isnt even any food or drinks out yet.

 

as you continue to walk, you begin to notice ponies that you recognize from ponyville and canterlot.

 

cherilee the teacher, ditzy doo the mail mare, madaam mayor, and kranky doodle (even though he isnt a pony).

 

then there is filthy rich, blue blood (gross, he's eying you across the room), photo finish, and whatshisface.... he is the best of them all.

 

???: anonymous? is that you?

 

>is that...

 

you turn around to se fluer herself.

 

>wow... havent seen you in awhile. hows everything going?

 

fluer: eh... quit being apart of the guard just to be another guard, just not royal this time.

 

>body guard? who?

 

fluer: know filthy rich?

 

>oh man... is he as stuck up as he seems?

 

fluer: no... he isnt like the rest. he actually seems to have a hoof on the ground. how are you anon? are you still wanting to join the guard? the entry exam is coming up soon.

 

>uh... yeah...

 

fluer: i cant believe its been so long since weve talked. how long has it been, a year? year and a half?

 

fluer was assigned to you when you were still living in canterlot. she was a really good one at that. the second you fell, BAM, you were on both your feet.

 

>yeah, about a year and a half.

 

fluer moves in closer.

 

fluer: wow, you seemed to have changed a lot. or at least you clean up well.

 

>thats right, i was never in any fancy things like this, was i?

 

fluer: no. in fact, i remember the princess saying it wouldnt have been a good idea then to have you invited to any of those. thats when the gryphons where suspicious of you. they thought you were some type of secret weapon.

 

thats right. gryphons are hella paranoid.

 

>well... you look nice too by the way. ive never seen your hair styled before.

 

she blushes and looks away.

 

fluer: yeah, well... i am a lady.

 

>i never thought differently.

 

fluer smiles and looks at a glass of some kind of wine she was levitating.

 

fluer: so... um... how about after the party.... well... the after party i mean. how about we meet up and talk for awhile? im off duty then.

 

>oh... yeah, i got time then.

 

fluer begins to trot of... actually trot. she looked very happy. well, you two did develope quite the friendship when she ws assigned to you. she wasnt like the other guards, she had a bit of personality. she was really sassy back then.

 

you once again begin your journey to find the person you have been wanting o talk to the most.

 

you go down the halls, walk up some stairs, take a left near the library, and you are at her door.

 

guard: sorry sir anonymous, but the princess is not yet ready.

 

>girls like to take their time i suppose.

 

one of them giggles, but the other one bonks them on the helmet.

 

guard: rookies...

 

>um... well how about luna? i havent seen her here. she in her room?

 

guard: yes sir, she is on the balcony.

 

>thanks... tell celestia that i was looking for her when she comes out please.

 

the guard nods and you head your way to the opisite side of the hallway.

 

voice: HOW OTH ONE LOOK ON THIS NIGHT OF GREAT JOY AND CELEBRATION?

 

you know that voice anywhere.

 

*knock knock*

 

luna: WO ISITH IT?

 

your not sure if "isith" is even apart of the ye old english vocabulary, but whatever.

 

>its anonymous!

 

luna: NONNY!!!

 

the door flings open, and you are magiced into the embrace of the one and only princess of the night, luna.

 

>i see your still a little iffy on using today's use of volume.

 

luna: WE TRY- *ahem*.... we try our best to use this, but the royal voice just keeps coming back.

 

>well... picture it this way... if you speak like this, ponies ears wont bleed, and thats like... 20 plus on the popularity points.

 

she giggles.

 

>but for real, i can tell that you try. tell you what, if you go the whole night without using the voice... ill... ill let you paint me.

 

luna: but anonymous, you said that it would be "boring". are you sure?

 

>its called a reward. remembber. no voice, you get to paint me.

 

luna was an artist at heart. she would do more than just paint the sky every night. her room was filled with paintings and drawings of many things. houses, forests, cities, and ponies. back when you were in the castle, you and her were like best friends. the one thing that she wanted to do was make a painting of you, but after how long she said it would take, you didnt want any of that. no, holding a pose for an hour does not sound good. but, if she really does this, its the least you can do.

 

luna: yes! oh... it seems the galla is starting. mind escorting me to it?

 

>it would be my pleasure.

 

you walk with luna down to the galla. you make the same turns and climb down the stairs to make your way to the potium that the princesses are suposed to make their speach. the curtain is closed and you see celestia there.

 

>celes-

 

guard: i am sorry sir anon, but they must first make their speech. you are not suposed to be up here at the moment.

 

celestia: i am truely sorry anonymous. i will make sure we have time to talk afterwords.

 

>of... of coarse.

 

although it felt like a punch to the gut to have her right there in front of me and not be able to talk, you comply and leave to the lower floor to be with the ponies and hear the speach from afar.

 

as you walk down, you see your group of friends.

 

flutterhy:how did everything go anon?

 

>i didnt get to talk to her. but ill get my chance.

 

applejack: talk to who anon?

 

>noneyah.

 

applejack: keeping a secret from us anon?

 

>no. its just none of your busine-

 

fluttershy: oh, he was just going to speak to the princess. my shipping wall is finally becoming a reality.

 

damnit shy.

 

rarity: you shipped them together? anon and celestia? oh my, why didnt i think of that? how cute.

 

>seriously, whats shipping?

 

twilight: i think they are refering to the act of choosing two characters and putting them together as lo- oh theyre making their speach! everyone hush!

 

you look forward to see madaam mayor on a low podiem.

 

mayor: mares and gentlecolts, it is with great honor do i annonce this grand galloping galla open to speach with the princesses themself, luna and celestia.

 

YES! they switched the order of the names like you suggested! now lunas gonna feel super awesome.

 

come on celestia, just let luna talk first, let her get some fans!

 

you see celestia motion luna to the stand first. yes!

 

luna: we... my sister and i are very glad to have all of you good ponies here. ponies of different breads and different backgrounds. we welcome eac and every one of you. we thankl you all as well for joining us for  grand galloping galla where both my sister and i are present. thank you all very much.

 

you go girl! you work for that painting! i dont want to do it... but damnit i will!

 

celestia: yes! let us all celebrate and rejoice. please, let us go ahead and start the festivities. have a wonderful night and please feel free to approch us.

 

oh... oh man... no celestia... what did you do?! knowing how many ponies here that actually have guts, you wont have a chance to talk to either of them tonight.

 

she looks at you from the croud and gets a sad face, you can almost see her mouth the word "sorry".

 

she did that soemtimes. she would just wing her speaches. some times she would blurt out things she didnt mean to say, but make it look prety in the end. you are suprized no one has cought that yet.

 

well, i guess that means you are going to have to wait for the after party to talk to her.

 

>*sigh*... so uh... what now?

 

pinkie pie: oh, now we party! not "partay" mind you, but party.... in a delicate manner.

 

pinkie pie... delicate? those two things dont belong together at all... its like one of those things on sesame street. "one of things is not like the other..."

 

you and the gang go around and mingle with ponies from both canterlot, and ponyville.

 

they had ponies carrying orderves and drinks on their backs. there was mostly these tiny rice things filledwith some type of vegetable, it wasnt that bad.

 

the girls constantly wanted you to try and dance with them, but the thing was...

 

>yeah... im tall... and you guys only come up to my hip. how is that going to work?

 

pinkie pie: cant you just... you know... get down on your hands and knees and-

 

rarity: oh no he wont! i slaved over that suit, and i will not see a single scratch, tear, smudge, or spill on it.

 

rainbow dash: got any spells to make him a pony?

 

twilight: good idea! yeah i d-

 

>hell no.

 

twilight: why not?

 

>first off: it would be my first time being a pony. i wouldnt know how do walk, none the less dance. second: i LIKE being human. its not like i force you to be humans just cus you wont do something i want you to do that requires you to be human.

 

applejack: he's got a point yall.

 

>thanks applejack.

 

applejack: yeah, why dont we just turn ourself human?

 

>EVEN WORSE IDEA!

 

applejack: what now sug?

 

>do i need to do another two pointer? okay then, first off: YOU wont know how to walk. from what ive seen, it takes longer for a pony to adap than it would a human.

 

applejack: no it wouldnt.

 

>dont get your pony pride ahead of you applejack, ive seen you guys trying to play soccer.

 

rainbow dash: ugh! it wasnt my fault that you didnt list in the rules that we couldnt fly... or throw the ball... or keep  the ball.

 

>second: youll be naked.

 

rarity: i still dont see the point in you wearing clothes on EVERY occation anonymous.

 

>okay, ley me put it in a way that will make you all embarrassed. immagine yourself, not wearing any clothes in front of a whole bunch of people.

 

pinkie pie: ponies.

 

>whatever. you got it?

 

rainbow dash: yeah? what about it?

 

>now imagine that if you did that, it would make it look like you wanted to mate right then and there.

 

rarity: oh my!

 

applejack: oh shucks!

 

fluttershy:*whimper*

 

pinkie pie: thats not good for people to see.

 

rainbow dash: hahahahaha!!!

 

twilight: do.... do humans really do that in front of everyone when they wish to-

 

>no, they dont. in fact, tehere is a group of people that like to be naked all the time because the think that- actually, thats besides the point. the main thing is that in my culture, is considered tabuu. so seeing a bunch of naked human girls right now would be... not good.

 

well... actally... NO ANON! BAD!

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

 

celestia looks at you with... that look that women give their boyfriends when they did something they should have.

 

>i did stop myself from thinking that.

 

she still gives it to you.

 

>oh come on. liek you dont want to see me naked.

 

celestia looks away blushing.

 

>thats what i thought.

 

celestia: oh shut up and continue.... you jerk...

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

 

after the talk about how you wouldnt be able to dance with them no matter what, it came time for some kind of "anual drawing" of the something or whatever.

 

twilight: it time for the anual drawing of the seating privalidge!

 

yeah, that.

 

flutterhsy: dont worry anon, me and rarity put your name in for yo, as well as putting our vote for you as well.

 

rarity: yes, you might be able to sit with the princesses!

 

oh. OH!

 

you might be able to talk to her after all.

 

mayor: let us begin!

 

the mayor spins some kind of funel thing with a whole lot of paper in it. there was a piece of wood in the way of the hole at the bottom so the paper wouldnt all rush out at once.

 

the spinning is sofast tat you can tell that all the paper is actually being moved around, so it WILL be a random pick.

 

mayor: alright, lets see who it is!

 

the mayor letss open the slit for a while and a couple of papers fly out. well... how does this work now?

 

mayor: princess luna, will you please choose which one you want.

 

luna: with great humility.

 

luna levetates the piece of paper ad clears her voice.

 

luna: the winner is.....

 

you look to celestia and her to you. you both hope that you are on that paper.

 

fluttershy and rarity giggle amongst themselfs while the anticipation gets to the best point.

 

luna: ditzy doo!

 

.... well thats a huge bummer.

 

celestia gets a small frown on her face for a split second, but puts on a smile one the less.

 

ditzy frantacly marches up to the stage to meet luna.

 

luna: congradulations my little pony. come with me and we shall feast together with my sister.

 

well... even if it isnt a win for you, it is still a win for luna. she is even calling her subjects her "little ponies", just like her sister would. by the end of the night, she will have tons of fans.

 

fluttershy and rarity seem bummed out.

 

rarity: i knew i should have written more.

 

fluttershy: but that would have been cheating.

 

rarity: but its for the ship fluttershy. and that ship NEEDS to sail. you want to know who i shipped him with first? carrot top. i will NOT make that mistake again.

 

fluttershy: um..... carrot top?

 

>you mean that mare i bumped into at the market that one time?

 

rarity: i saw it from afar. the two of you, falling down and loooking at eachothers eyes. the two of you quickly made your appologise and wihc blush on face, left each other. it was like a meeting of fait. though, i see you and the princess shipping more over then that old one.

 

>.... what?

 

twilight: she means that- oh, dinner is starting. lets hurry up and find a seat.

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

 

>okay no seriously... whats shipping mean?

 

celestia: *sigh* its when someone wants two ponies to be together.

 

>RARITY WANTED ME TO BE WITH CARROT TOP?!

 

celestia: shhhhhhh.... the others will hear you. we may be out in the fields but the place has terrible acoustics.

 

>and... and... oh man... even twilight was in on that.

 

celestia: who did tilight want you o be with?

 

>.... promise you wont kill your favorite student?

 

celestia: i would never!

 

>..... luna.

 

celestia:..... favorite sudent- no more.

 

>no no no... let it go. me and luna are friends and nothing more. besides... i think she is more interested in the thought of getting her own human.

 

celestia: luna likes to make fiction about it you know.

 

>ugh... your not supposed to be telling me that kind of stuff, thats her business.

 

celestia: i am more intrigued that she has twilight wanting a human now too.

 

>what? are humans hot now?

 

celestia:....

 

>your kidding... right?

 

celestia: well... you are in a lot of magazines... and a lot of them show you with your... um... skin out.

 

>THEY ARE STILL TAKING PICTURES?! WHO IS THIS PONY?!

 

celestia: totally not someone i know. *cough*, i bet they are terribly un-loyal. *cough*

 

>ugh... whatever....

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

 

dinner was what you expected it to be. vegitables and fruite.

 

luckily you like carrots with ranch. that was your to go thing here in equestria.

 

and if you needed protien, they had rice and beans.

 

twilight: so how is everyones night going by so far?

 

fluttershy: not as planned, but still going by well.

 

pinkie pie: all the things are set up for the after party.

 

rainbow dash: the wonderbolts were amazed at how awesome i was. i got spitfires autograph!

 

applejack: i actually got a dance partner. hoo boy, i havent danced lahk that in years.

 

>*munch*mrph mrph mrph*munch*

 

twilight: dont talk with your mouth full anon.

 

>says the pony who is doing the same thing.

 

twilight: but my mouth isnt full.

 

>nice loophole.

 

the conversation went on for awhile about random stuff.

 

*tink tink tink tink tink*

 

you turn to see celestia magically raising a glass and using a spoon to make the noise.

 

celestia: everyone, we are very proud to have had this many of you here this year. we would like to thank you for coming to the grand galloping galla and to please go to the after party, which has been set up by the one and only pinkie pie.

 

everyone: yaaaaaaay!

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

 

celestia: that after party was pretty good. i should let pinkie do more of the party planning for now on.

 

>you wouldnt be disspointed.

 

celestia: didnt you dance then?

 

>you couldnt really call it "dancing" more as having a spaz attack with twilight.

 

celestia: oh yes, it it was to the dj ponies music was it not?

 

>that pony does know how to make some music.

 

celestia: you do know i really want you to win that sitting right?

 

>i do. i had a feeling it wasnt going to work though, i just hoped it would have.

 

celestia: yes. what happened next?

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

 

pinkie's after party.

 

she really out did herself on this.

 

the whole back yard of the castle is being used as the party grounds.

 

hell, even some of the guards are partying. celestia did let them off the collar at events like these.

 

applejack: that was some crazy dancing you had there partner.

 

>i wouldnt call it dancing.

 

rainbow dash: pfhaha! ill say, you looked like you were having a stoke!

 

you head over to where pinkie is stationed.

 

>yo pinkie, have you seen the princess?

 

pinkie pie: which one anon?

 

>celestia?

 

pinkie pie: oh, yeah! doi! she is over at the cake booth with princess luna! what are you going to do anon? confess your love?

 

>w-wha-

 

pinkie pie: oh come on anon, its writen all over your face! you like-like her.

 

>we... are just really good friends. there is no way id date a pony pinkie.

 

pinkie pie: why not?

 

>we are different species pinkie.

 

pinkie pie: so? ive seen ponies marry gryphons tons of times.

 

>well... i mean...

 

pinkie pie: and, there was just recently a pony and minitar marrage.

 

>but-

 

pinkie pie: oh! then there is that three way marrage between a grypon, a pony, and a minitar. did you know you could have those?

 

>pinkie i get it... but i dont think that celestia views me in that way, so i wont view her in that way either.

 

pinkie pie: are you kidding? everyone is shipping you with her now, there is now way she cant. that would brake everyones heart.

 

>wh-

 

pinkie pie: just go over there and be yourself anon, i got other people to help out.

 

okay then.

 

you head over to the cake table to find celestia and luna (along with 2 guards each).

 

>hey there.

 

luna: anon! did you see me?

 

>yeah, you did really good.

 

luna: prepair to be painted!

 

>that will have to be on another date though, i have already promised a bunch of ponies different things. how about next weekend?

 

luna: i shall wait for that day with great pacients.

 

celestia: anon, how glad i am to see you. how is your night going by so far?

 

>it is... pretty frantic really.

 

celestia: yes, i can tell. you have a lot of stress on you right now.

 

>that doesnt matter right now, i came to see how you are doing.

 

celestia: yes, we havent talked in quite some time, how about we go to my lounge and talk for awhile?

 

>that would be great.

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

 

celestia: we talked about nothing but how much we had missed each other.

 

>yeah... we did.

 

celestia: that whole night, i was waiting for that moment.

 

>yeah...

 

you both look at each other and smile.

 

celestia: oh! i must go back inside, i believe that i have a meeting to attend to.

 

>what? i thought you said you had time off.

 

celestia: yes, i said i had time off, i didnt say i had the whole day. sorry if i lead you on, i would love to be with you even longer.

 

>*sigh* i would more...

 

you roll her inside and she carrys on from there.

 

you wish you could stick with her for the rest of her time in that chair, that way you are right next to her when she is finally able to get up from it, and stay out of it for the rest of her life.

 

you sigh one last time and head your way to your room totake off your armor once again.

 

you had been put on a set time now since you were both her personal guard AND a trainer for the guards.

 

since you had those two jobs, you had one long brake from the two of them once you were done.

 

guard: sir, since you are off duty, we were wondering if you would like to join us for a drink tonight.

 

>you do know i cant get drunk off of the soda, right?

 

guard: yes sir, but it is still good to have you there.

 

>.... fine. just let me go get my wallet.

 

guard: no sir, it is on us today. you always pay for all of our drinks.

 

you smile at that, this is the first time they have wanted to pay you back for something. well, thats not true really, but this is the first time being themselfs that they have wanted to pay you back.

 

>that would be nice.

 

they took you to some bar in canterlot. they all looked the same to you, but apparently this one was high class. how can a bar be high class? everyone just goes there to get drunk.

 

after conversing with your drunken friends within the guard, you begin to actually look around the place.

 

there were ponies that you recognised here: flim and flam (you dont know how they got in), fantsy pants, rose and her sisters, blue blood (who once again was eying you across the room), and flue-

 

wait a minute... fluer?

 

you head over to her table.

 

>fluer, is that you?

 

she looks up and instantly starts to fidgit with her hair.

 

fluer: anonymous? oh... um... what are you doing here?

 

>my men invited me to come with. whats up? you look down.

 

fluer: i... i just dont know anymore.

 

>are you still hired by filthy rich?

 

fluer: yes, but thats not the problem... its just that... i dont know... i just dont feel happy with what i am doing right now.

 

>well, what do you want to do?

 

fluer: anonymouse, i have been a guard for most of my life. when i retired from the royal guard, i became a body guard.

 

>and you are tired of being that too huh?

 

fluer: i just feel like i could do more.

 

>fluer, being a guard to anything is a huge responibility.

 

fluer: you ARE the new personal guard to princess celestia.

 

>thats besides the fact. fluer, ponies need to be protected. you protecting anyone just shows that you are a good pony.

 

fluer: but, i just feel like i could do something ... that i like to do.

 

>fluer, you can do anything. i know this. what is it you want to do?

 

fluer:... i have always wanted to be something that could make people smile. something that wasnt high risk, but could still get you respect.

 

>i dont think you would be a good comedian.

 

fluer pushes you with her hoof.

 

fluer: you know what i mean anonymous.

 

>yeah... well, whatever career you choose, i will suport it 100%.

 

fluer: even if i was a whorse?

 

> you are seriously not getting a job as a comedian.

 

fluer: still got you to smile.

 

>dont even joke about that though.

 

fluer: i would never consider doing that.

 

>good. so what DID you have in mind?

 

fluer: i... i have allways liked singing.

 

>that would be great.

 

fluer: but i am really embarressed to do that in front of anyone.

 

>fluer, being insecure? this is very new.

 

fluer: oh shut up.

 

>heheheh...

 

fluer: you know... we never got to talk after the after party.

 

>... how about i make that up right now?
