chryssi-loves-shining!

>Be guard in hallway outside of guest bedroom deep inside of Canterlot Castle.

>Be awesome at guarding.

>All you ever do is stand around and salute people occassionally.

>Princess Mi Amore Cadenza comes into view.

>Salute her as she walks by.

"I am not to be disturbed.  Is that understood?"

>You nod.

>Now then, you can go back to thinking about your plans for tonight and the crazy story it would make.

 

>Be Cadance, well, Chrysallis.

>You're very fortunate that word about your attack on Canterlot got out after you had already replaced that stupid princess.

>It wasn't even hard, your minions' research on her found that she had some friend that she hadn't seen for a while; a little more snooping gave you enough to impersonate the friend and draw her out for a visit.

>She had guards with her, but they were no match when what changelings you happened to have with you outnumbered them 20 to 1.

 

>You use this one spell that turns a mirror into a communication device on one of the mirrors in your bedroom.

>It was horribly cliched, but it did want you wanted.

"Are the preparations in place?"

>A changeling in a warrior helmet oddly reminiscent of an old pegasus helmet is at the other mirror.

"They are, my queen.  We are ready to attack the barrier and storm Canterlot on your command."

>A morbid smile crosses your currently pink face.

"Good.  Stay on guard."

>The soldier salutes, before you magic the mirror back into a normal mirror.

 

>Someone knocks at the door.

"I said that I was not to be disturbed!"

"It's me sweetie."

>It was Shining Armor, Cadence's fiance.

*sigh "Come in."

>The door is creaked open apprehensively at first, before being opened more quickly and all the way.

>Shining's smiling like a fool, probably because he is one.

"Well?"

>His smile goes away, for a mere moment, due to your tone, before coming back larger than before.

"I was thinking we could go get something to eat.  We can go where you want."

>His smile is oddly infectious.

>Hmmm, where would you want to go?

 

>Shining patiently waits for your answer.

>You recall that there's supposed to be a donut shop in this city that's so good that it won a competition or something.  You could also use some coffee.

"Um, what's the name of that really good donut shop?"

>Shining gets noticeably excited.

"You're probably talking about Donut Joe's!  Man, my sister and her pet dragon and I used to go there all the time."

>Well, now you really want donuts.

"Yeah, let's go there."

>Shining makes sure to let you through the door first, before closing it behind him.

>Most ponies would take notice at being treated so nicely.  However, you are a _QUEEN_ and expect this.

 

>Minutes later, you are outside of the castle and walking in the direction Shining says the shop is in.

>Ponies look at the both of you; it is clear by your wings and horn that you are royalty.

>Your face betrays little negativity towards the plebians staring at you and your fiance.

>It sounded weird, but you were going to actually marry him so you may as well start calling him that.

 

>Shining eventually finds the donut shop.

>You're actually pretty hungry at this point.

"I hope this place is as good as you say."

"Trust me," Shining says as he magics the door open for you.

>The interior is reminiscent of a deli, but with donuts; you figure that the large glass case showcasing the product is what makes you think that.

>Shining chats with Joe while you pick out your "seat;" seriously, what kind of restaurant has tables, but no seats to accompany them?

>Whatever.  You pick a table in the corner; you like having your back to a wall.

 

>Shining talks to Joe for a good 10 minutes.  He occasionally points to you during the conversation; you fake a smile whenever both of them look at you.

>Eventually, Shining buys some food and brings it to the table.

 

>You can tell why these donuts are famous.  The coffee isn't bad either, with some cream and sugar that is.  But you'll drink just about anything, you've never really been picky like that.

>You finish quickly and are left to contemplate what to do as Shining is finishing up his portions.

>You may as well do something in town; it's won't be dark for a few more hours.

>Hmmm.

 

>You heard that there had been some muggings and whatnot taking place at the local park.

>If you went there, perhaps you would be fortunate enough to witness one.

"Let's go to the park."

>Shining looks uncertain.

"Oh, c'mon, let's go," Shining's reluctance makes the proposition all the more appealing.

"We could work this off," you say as he poke Shining's midriff.

*snort "Okay, okay," Shining's still laughing.

>He turns to you.

"You know, there are some other things we could do to work this off."

>Huh, you've never had recreational sex before; you're not a virgin, but every time you've ever had sex was merely a stage in tricking others.

"Maybe, if you behave yourself, you'll get something special later."

>You enjoy seeing the look on his face.

"Can I at least get one of these for now," he puckers his lips and leans in for a kiss.

>Meh, if you're going to impersonate a princess, you may as well do it right.

>You leave the donut shop on your way to the park.
