>Be Cadence.
>You're exploring Canterlot.
>You had came for a political visit and decided to take a vacation with Shining.
>It's so rare for you two to get some time for just the two of you.
>Celestia offered to let you two stay at the castle and you couldn't refuse her face.
>For such a big mare she can do puppy dog eyes better than anypony you know!
>And you watched Twilight!
>Anyway, right now you and shiny are strolling through the Castle gardens.
>It's almost unbelievable that Celestia grew all of this on her own.
>You and Shiny should really start your own in the Empire.
>It's just so beautiful.
>As you and Shining make it to the garden's fountain you take notice of another's presence.
>There on a bench sits Anonymous.
>He seems to be admiring the garden while enjoying a ice cream cone.
>A guard most likely appointed by Celestia to watch over him stands a bit away.
>As you inspect her, her head snaps over to look at you.
>Her eyes narrow and you feel magic wash over you as her horn lights up.
>You notice it as a changling scan spell.
>As quickly as it was there it's gone and she's back to looking at a rose bush.
>You look at her for a bit more before shaking your head and look back to Anon.
>More specifically his ice cream.
>It's now you notice exactly what it -really- is.
>No it's not any normal ice cream.
>The perfect golden spiral says otherwise.
>This is Celestia’s special ice cream.
>Ice cream personally made by the princess herself.
>Ice cream made from thousands of years of experience.
>You -need- it!
>From the look on Shining's face he agrees.
>You flip Shining's tongue to gain his attention.
“Sneak around his right side and wait for me to distract him.”
>With his tongue still out he puts on a serious face and salutes you before crouching down and sneaking around Anon and hides behind the bench.
>Seeing he's in place you begin your plan.
“Nonny!”
>You call out causing him to look over to you.
>Seeing you his face lights up with joy.
>Taking his opportunity Shining quickly get's a few licks of the ice cream.
>”Candy! It's been so long sis!” He yelps patting the bench next to him “Come here! Let's talk for a bit. How've you been?”
“Oh, I've been good, dealing with princess stuff and the occasional big bad, you know how it is.”
>He chuckles at the thought.
>”Boy do I, at least your big bads are open about their plans. I swear I think some nobles are the biggest bad.”
>”You're telling me.” Shining says causing Anon to jump. “At least now that I'm not a guard I don't have to open the door for those snobs.”
>Anon idlely cycles the ice cream to his other hand as he gives Shining a big hug.
>”I was wondering where you were you sneaky pony!”
>”Ah!” Your husband yelps as Anon hugs him.
>But you're not focused on the prince crushing your husband via a side hug.
>You're focused on the frozen treat in front of you.
>As you take your first lick you taste the pure sweat creamy flavor.
>You love it!
>It taste amazing, like every ingredient was held to the drop of perfection.
>You'd expect nothing less from the eternal princess of the sun.
>You get a couple more licks until you're interrupted.
>”Anon! Cadence!” A somewhat familiar voice calls.
>You look behind you and see a puff of purple magic.
>”Thank you!” The voice now says on the other side of Anon.
>You look and only get a glance at Twilight before she teleports away with Shining.
>Oh Celestia damn it!
“Sorry Anon, I got to go save my husband from his sister. I'll come by and talk to you later, okay?”
>”Mhmm.” He hums as he goes to lick his ice cream, only to notice someone else has been enjoying it.
>You take to the sky as fast as possible but his voice still reaches you.
>”Cadence.” He says in a voice that demands your attention.
>Why did Celestia have to teach him so well!?
“W-What is it bro?”
>You try your best to seem cute.
>He just looks at you with a genuine smile.
>”Would you like the rest of this ice cream?” He says holding it out to you.
>What?
>Is… is he serious?
>You land beside him and slowly trot up to the ice cream.
>He holds it out for you, so you take it in your magic.
>He's actually giving you the ice cream…
>Shining will be fine, you're enjoying this!
>As you eagerly lick away at the ice cream Anon chuckles.
>”You really like that huh?”
“Mhmm!”
>Is the only answer he gets as you continue to eat the ice cream.
>”You want to know how to make some of your own?”
>You stop mid lick and look at him.
“You know how to make this?”
>He nods.
>”Yeah, mom love it when I help her make it. Mother son bonding is what she calls it. So, you want to know?”
>You don't even have to think out the answer.
“Yes please!”
>Again Anon chuckles at your eagerness.
>”Well it's made like any other ice cream, there's just one special ingredient.” He says just above a whisper and leans to you while motioning you to bring your ear to him.
>You do and he whispers ever so gently.
>”Fresh.” You bring your ear closer. “Princess.” What? “Milk.”
>…
>You stay like that for a bit as Anon leans towards the ice cream and gives it a long lick as it hovers in your magic.
>He then pats you on the back as he gets up to leave the garden.
>”Enjoy your ice cream Cadence!” He calls to you.
>His guard smiles at your shocked expression before following him.
>You just stare at the ice cream cone.
>All this time, you've been eating Celestia's milk ice cream.
>You and your husband, just licked away at Celestia’s milk like two eager foals.
>…
 
>Be Anon.
>”AAAAAAH!” Cadence screams back at the fountain before taking off like a rocket.
>You love messing with her.
 
>Be Cadence.
>You're currently scrubbing your mouth out.
>That is so -disgusting-!
>You were just eating Celestia's teat milk!
>You haven't dared tell poor Shining!
>Then again you haven't saved him from Twilight either but that's besides the point.
>Faust, to think that you were enjoying that.
>To think you enjoyed the sweet taste.
>The creamy flavor.
>The way it perfectly melted in your mouth.
>How it left a perfect after taste.
>You remove the toothbrush and quickly trot to the fridge in your castle room.
>You open the fridge and quickly grab the ice cream in your magic.
>Dear Faust you're not really going to do this are you?
>You begin to lick away at the ice cream ignoring the fact you already know what it is.
>You don't care!
>This ice cream is good!
>Even if it's Celestia’s milk it's good dammit!
>’What are you doing Cadence!?’
>A voice ask you from inside your head.
>’This is disgusting! It's another mare's milk dammit, are you out of your mind!?’
>I don't care! It's too good to waste!
>’You're disgusting…’
>Well you're me so you are too!
>’Yes, I know. It's despicable.'
>Doesn't matter! Got alicorn ice cream!
>’Not anymore we don't.’
>What?
>You go to lick again but realize there's nothing there.
>’Yep, we're out of ice cream sicko!’
>With that the voice dies out.
>You're out of ice cream…
>But, do we have to be?
>You -are- a alicorn, and you've made ice cream before.
>…
 
>Be a very pleased Celestia.
>Cadence had decided to create a beautiful dinner for Luna, Twilight, Anonymous, Shining and you.
>”My, we will have to give it to you Cadence dear, you make quite the meal. Not even the royal chiefs could do this well!” Luna says sprawling out.
>Cadence chuckles.
>”I'm glad you enjoyed it auntie! Hopefully you saved room for dessert, I'm trying a new recipe for ice cream!” Cadence says levitating a gallon if ice cream.
>She gets a ice cream scoop and six cones filling them all with a single scoop of ice cream.
>She levitates each of you a cone and you take yours in your magic.
>You inspect it and find it is pink like her coat and bares three different colored swirls each resembling a color of her mane.
>It looks beautiful but you know exactly how she made it.
>With a smile you look towards Luna, then Anon and find they both already know as well.
>Twilight though looks excited.
>She gives it a lick and her face lights up like a filly on Christmas.
>”This is really good Cadence! How did you make it?”
>Cadence looks scared.
>”Oh, well you see its-" You figure now is the time to step in.
“It's a secret of the royal family.”
>Twilight looks excited at this.
>”Really!? Oh please tell me!” Twilight says pulling out a notepad and quill.
>Luna cloaks a wing over Twilight shaking her head.
>”Dear Twilight, just like the most powerful spells one cannot just learn it by word of mouth. They must learn it through trial and error over and over and the end result will be different from pony to pony.” She brings her wing to her own chest. “Why, I didn't learn it until I came back from banishment. Were it not for Anon's help I never would have learned myself. The night I finally did learn will always stick with me with pride.” She says puffing out her tuft.
>She was very loud about her ‘pride’ that night.
“Well, we have waited for far too long and I'm sure Cadence can't wait to hear if she finally mastered the recipe.”
>You say giving the ice cream a lick.
>It's really good.
>A mixed berry taste but primarily strawberry but a taste of grape and pineapple that somehow mixes perfectly.
>She definitely is on the right path but needs one more thing to get it perfect.
>But, she'll get her needed help from Shining when she's ready.
>Although, unlike Luna where Anon came to her she'll have to go to Shining about it.
>But, as the princess of love she'll no doubt be able to convince him.
>You hoped she and Anon would ‘hook up' but love doesn't always work how you want.
>There's always Twilight, and if she doesn't hook him more for Luna and you!
>Well, you should probably stop rambling to yourself and let Cadence know she did good.
“Well Cadence, I didn't think you'd get it so quickly but you did, and you did very well. But remember, doing something with a loved one will always make it better.”
>Cadence smiles proudly from ear to ear.
>”Thanks auntie, and I'll remember that.”
>Shining is too busy chowing down to think.
>”Yes, it's very good. You should try some of mine some day Cadence. Matter of fact-" Luna slides over to Anon and pulls him close with a wing. “T's been awhile since we madeth ice cream togeth'r Anon~”
>You look towards Twilight and see she two is distracted shoving her face in the ice cream.
>Anon glares at Luna as he reaches a hand around her and pulls her close by squeezing her cutie mark.
>”You know what that olden speak does to me you dirty moon bitch.” He says showing his teeth off to her.
>You slink up behind the two quietly before whispering into Anon's ear.
“How's about we waiteth until we're high-lone, then we'll seeth what a combination maketh~?”
>Anon looks at you with a look of need and surprise.
>”You better get us out of here -now- if you don't want a scene.” He whispers back.
“We shall mine own lief~”
>You stand up and make yourself known to the others.
“Well, Luna, Anon, and I have enjoyed this but we have meetings to attend to.”
>”Mhmm!” Twilight says while she now is attacking the poor tub of ice cream.
>”Yep! Later bye!” Shining agrees while he joins Twilight in the attack.
>”I'm sure…” Cadence says as she watches you three with wide eyes.
>As you all walk out of the room notice Luna look back and whisper to Cadence.
>”Thee did miss out~” She whispers back earning a slap on her flank by Anon.
>”You're already in it deep Lulu, don't make it worse.”
>Luna lets out a whine as her ears fall back and her tail whips back and forth.
 
>Be Cadence.
>It's this day you realized how dirty the royal family is.
