>You make your way down the busy Canterlot streets, a bundle of papers under your arm. >Twilight had forgot them and Celestia had asked you bring them to the room she was staying in during this friendship summit thing. >Apparently book horse had tuckered herself out and was sleeping til the ceremony. >An evil grin spreads across your face. >You had an ulterior motive for accepting Celestia's request. >Since your arrival, Twilight has tried to police your habits to make you a "respectable citizen in the pursuit of friendship". >You responded to her "generous" offer in the most polite way possible. >By embarrassing her in a myriad of ways. >There's no way you could resist with her so vulnerable. >Once again you pat your hip to reassure yourself that your permanent marker was in place. >You chuckle in anticipation. >Eventually the tower comes into view. >The first thing you notice is ponies and griffons lining the spiral staircase. >Odd >You make your way up the staircase, blithely ignoring the complaints of the waiting ponies. >Occasionally you sidestep to avoid ones making their way back down. >Their expressions range from glee to disappointment. >Soon you hear a familiar voice near the top of the tower. >"Princess Twilight says that she accepts your proposition." >Twatlight was awake?! >You heart sinks at the revelation. >Your master plan is ruined! >Well, this was a load of nothing. >Depressed, you reach the top of the staircase, revealing the owner of that voice. "Spike?" >The little drake freezes, eyes bulging at you. >"A-Anon?! What are you doing here?" >You gesture toward the bundle of papers. "I'm here to drop off these for Twi." >You raise an eyebrow. "What are you doing here? Who are these guys?" >Spike twiddled his claws, looking away from you. >"They're here to see Twilight..." "I thought she was sleeping." >"Um...well, you see..." >He trails off, deciding to stay quiet. >You're about to question that lame answer but a poke from behind interrupts you. >"Excuse me! But I was next to receive Princess Twilight's audience." >You slowly turn your head toward the uptight pony with the nasal voice. >He looks up at you indignantly with his chest puffed up. >Eventually though, he buckles under your intense stare. >"W-well on second thought, go right ahead lad." >Bitch. >You huff in annoyance, turning back to Spike. "Come here you." >You scoop him up in your free arm and go inside the room. >Immediately you see a giant bed in the room upon which the alicorn snores away peacefully. >...cute >You unceremoniously drop the little dragon in front of you. "Alright Spike, what did you do?" >"Nothing! I was just doing what Princess Cadence said." "Which was?" >"To make sure Twilight wasn't disturbed before the ceremony..." >You point toward the door. "And what does that have to do with all those ponies out there?" >Spike starts to pace as he nervously rambles. >"I was just trying to keep these ponies from making noise but then these two delegates was arguing and trying to see Twilight but she wouldn't wake up so I had to pretend that she told me what to say but that backfired and even more came and wanted to talk to Twilight and didn't want to hear what I had to say so I had to lie again and more of them coming but then I thought if I took care of more of them Twilight could get more sleep and then-" >Your raised hand interrupts Spike's Pinkie impression. "W-wait, you've been making...decisions?" >He looks perplexed at your concern. >"I...guess so?" >You press your fingers into your temple. >Dear god, not again! >Shit was about to go down. >No. >Calm down Anon. >Maybe there's still time to fix it... >You hurry to the nearby desk and grab two blank sheets of paper. >Dipping the quill, you start to write a message. "Spike, I need you to send a couple of scrolls." >He looked over the edge of the table, his previous trepidation forgotten for his curiosity. >"Sure! But, uh...to who?" "Two princesses doing fuck all..."   >You and Spike watch the activity on the streets below from atop the tower stairs. >Princess Cadence stood to one side with her horn alight. >Nearby the two worker ponies tended to the broken pipe and trees. >The once noisy construction was now silent with Cadence's spell. >Nearby, Princess Luna led the line of delegates away to a separate building to listen to all their issues. >While Cadence was easy to convince, Luna was more irritated at being woken up during day time. >You had to placate her by finally giving her permission to enter your dreams. >She had always pestered you about seeing what human dreams were like. >You don't know which one of you is going to regret it more. >Spike grumbled to himself, his head cradled in his claws. >"I could've handled it..." >You lean on the railing and raise an eyebrow at the dragon. "Shall I remind you what happened all the other times you were to left to make decisions?" >Spike begins to retort but you speak over him. "Do you really want to go through ANOTHER friendship lesson?" >His face scrunches at the thought. >"Not really." "Me neither. So just leave the decision making to me from now on." >His head fins droop to match his mood. "Okay..." >You feel a pang of guilt for the poor guy. >He was a good kid, really. >Not many brats wanted to be useful to everyone. >But every time he's given even a smidgen of control, he tends to go overboard and take advantage of it. >You can't blame him though. >If the world shitted on you as much as it did him, you would probably hold onto anything to make yourself relevant. >You've been a big bro to the little dragon so you're a bit protective of him. >Not to say that Twilight and the others aren't. >You're just the only one to know better. >It was irritating to watch the world constantly take a piss on him no matter how good his intentions. >Your interference might take the wind out of his sails but you know just the thing to fix that. "And for my first decision, I say we ditch this place, go down to Donut Joe's and get ourselves some ice cream and donuts." >Spike looks up at you, eyes glimmering. >"Really?!" >The fin on his head has perked back up and his tail wags a little in happiness. >Geez >Sad sack to happy pup in 2 seconds flat. >Kids, they're too easy. >Smiling, you stand up from the railing. "Yeah, it's on me." >"Cool!" >He gets up from his perch and waddles toward the staircase. >Before he can make it down one step, he screeches to a halt. >He looks back at the tower door in concern. >"Uh, what about Twilight?" >Oh right, Princess Twiggles. >You suppose you should make sure no one goes in while you're gone. >Hmmm... >You snap your fingers as an idea surfaces. >A quick search of your pockets yields the black marker long forgotten. >Uncapping it, you start to scrawl on the door of the tower. >You step back to appreciate your work. "There we go: 'Princess Out of Order'". >Spike snickers at your message. >... >Now that you think about it, that'll probably stain. >Meh. >They can send the bill to Ponyville. >As you go to pocket the marker, a realization stops you. >You wickedly grin at the implement. "Before we leave, there is some unfinished business of mine."   >Be Twilight Sparkle >You feel like a million bits. >This bed was heavenly. >Although, after being awake for three whole days sleeping on a pile of hardcover books would have been comfortable. >You should know. >You've done it before. >After you snuggle deeper into the sheets, you hum in content. >Spike or Cadence will wake you in time for you to tend to the rest of the preparations. >You could enjoy this for a little bit longer... >"Looks like our little princess is waking up." >You eyelids shoot open. >Now you're awake. >Anon looks back at you from the foot of your bed. >The human twiddled his fingers at you in greeting with a smug smile. >How did he get in here?! >Oh no. >In a panic, you scan the room. >You know he did something while you were defenseless. >He was second only to Discord in pranking you. >And after confiscating his porn collection, he must be on the warpath. >How could Spike let-? >"Hi Twilight! Did you sleep well?" >Spike? >You have to sit up more before you see your assistant seated across from Anon. >The sight of him calms you down somewhat. >That is, until you spot the tub of ice cream and donuts in front of him. "Spike! You know you can't have that many sweets! >His head fins droops in shame but Anon pats him while giving you an admonishing look. >"Aw come on Purplesmart, he deserves it. He spent all day making sure you weren't disturbed while you recovered from going overboard. Again." >Now it was your turn for your ears to droop. >You were just doing your best to make sure the summit went perfectly. >But he was right. >As much as it annoyed you. "Thank you Spike, I appreciate it. Just this once though, okay? >He nods excitedly before shoving another spoonful into his mouth. >It makes you smile but that disappears when you look back at Anon suspiciously. "What are you doing here, Anon?" >"Celestia wanted me to deliver the papers you forgot at the castle." >Your face reddens at the mistake. "Oh..." >He goes to pat Spike's head. >"Plus, I wanted to keep my little bro company while he watched your big flank." >Spike snorts at his remark while you scowl at him. >You really shouldn't let him hang around Anon so much. "Well, I'm awake now." >Reluctantly, you slink off the bed and move over to the desk. >With your magic, you use a brush to tame your bed hair. "Might as well finish my to-do list." >"Already taken care of. All that's left is for you check the hall for final preparations." >You look back in shock. "Really?" >"Yeah, he got Princess Luna and Cadence to help out!" >Now you're impressed. "Well...thank you Anonymous." >He returns your smile sincerely. "No problem, Twilight." >Wow. >No nicknames? >You were finally making some progress with him! >Maybe porn really was the source of his behavior. >You levitate your saddlebags onto your back and pack the files Anon brought. "Anon, please make sure Spike is cleaned up before coming to the ceremony." >He dips his head in a mock bow. >"It shall be done, Twiggles." >Spoke too soon. >You roll your eyes as you make your way to do the door. >As you open the door, a chortle comes from behind you followed a whispered shush. >You look back at the two inquisitively. "Did you say something?" >"Nope, not a word." >"Y-yeah, nothing." >Their smiles become suspiciously large. >... >Whatever. >You close the door behind and take off from the tower toward the summit hall. >Once you arrive, you land and enter one of the building's entrances. >The hall is already populated by various delegates peacefully chatting amongst themselves. >Most of the conversations stop when they see you. >Most that do stare at you with dropped jaws and a few gasps. >Sigh. >You thought the novelty would have worn off by now that you wouldn't get that kind of reaction anymore. >You ignore them for now and make your way to the bespectacled pony near the statue's base. >Frazzle Rock looks up at her statue, scrutinizing it for any issues. >She must have heard you because she turns her head toward you. >Her calculating look brightens with a smile once she recognizes you. >She quickly turns toward you and takes a bow. >You'll never get used to that. >"Princess Twilight! I hope the the statue is to your lik-" >She chokes up once she looks back into your face. >Oblivious, you walk by her to admire her creation. "It's wonderful Frazzle! I really appreciate your hard work. >You turn to look back at Frazzle but her expression  you. >She's biting her lip while her cheeks bulge out. >She lets out tiny snorts in obvious amusement. >You're about to ask her if she's alright but the commotion behind her attracts your attention. >The assorted delegates in the room are all in a state of hysterics. >Some manage to resist with hooves to their mouths but others laugh outright. >And they're all looking at you. >Your face scrunches up in confusion. "What's so funny?" You ask, slightly annoyed you don't get the apparent joke. >Frazzle stifles her laughter with a snort. >"Um...you need to see this princess." >She takes out a pocket mirror from her sweater vest and opens it to you. >Huh? >Was something on your fa- >You freeze when you see your reflection. >For awhile you stay so still it's hard to see if you're still breathing. >Eventually though, your eye starts to twitch >Your mouth twists into a snarl as your teeth grind together. >Everything becomes tinged with red. >Is that smoke? >You must have been making a fearsome face, because the delegates had ceased their laughter and took a step back. >Frazzle follows suit >"Princess, are you-?" "AAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!"   >Be Anon >The smile on your face grows larger once Twi's muffled scream reaches the tower. >Triumphantly, you spoon another scoop of your ice cream into your mouth. >Spike raises an eyebrow at the noise. >"What is that?" "Payback, Spike." >You lick your lips, savoring the taste. "Sweet payback." >That'll teach her to take your smut.   http://i.imgur.com/S9oC3Wf.png
