Chapter Twelve: A Day of Awkwardness

I woke up with a shiver going up my spine. The feeling of being watched was unpleasantly present as I lay in the small bed that the Princesses provided for me. I quickly rose from the blankets with haste and shot my eyes to the door way, to spy a mare in a maid outfit. By all means, it was a weird site to see a pony in a french maid outfit. The little gray mare held a scroll with a red bow tie under one of her wings.

The little mare stood silently for a second until a let out a low grunt. "I-I have a note from Princess Celestia to you sir."

I swung myself out of the provided bed with only a pair of boxers, and immediately made my way over to the maid.

"Thanks." I grasped the parchment from under her wing, undid the bow tie, and un-scrolled. The note would of been more significant if it was in english, but it was in the Equish written language. The maid was about to leave before I interrupted her.

"Hey, do you mind if you read me this letter? I don't know Equish."

The mare stopped, turned around and gave me a look of curiosity plastered on her face. "You don't know how to read?"

I scratched the back of my head. "Oh, I know how to read. Just not this language."

"Well, if you don't know how to read, then how do you know how to speak this language?

This maid was starting to get on my nerves. "Just read the note. That's all I ask."

The maid let out a small sigh and began to read the letter out-loud.

"Dear Isaiah

Me and Luna are so thankful that you joined us for dinner last night, it was such a pleasant experience that we were able to share so much with each other during such a unique time in our lives. But I must apologize, I didn't intend for you to stay so long into the night with us, and that little educational session with me and Cadence. I hope that your prolonged stay here didn't pose as a inconvenience for you, especially during this life altering time in you life. Anyway, me and my sister wish that you would please join us for breakfast this wonderful morning. We will begin at 7:30, don't be late!

From Princess Celestia

"

Wonderful morning? I glanced over to the window only to see that the sun was just barley appearing over the horizon. All in all, it was a stunning site as it slowly rose towards the heavens.

"Is there anything else you need sir?" The little pegasus mare asked, waking me up from my stupor.

"No, I don't think so. thank's for reading the scroll to me."

She gave me a pleasant smile. "No problem sir, I'm always happy to help sir. And I forgot," She looked down at my boxers and back at me and winked "good morning." With those final words, she left me to my own devises.

I stood there in confusion was I pondered what the wink was meant for. I soon wound out when I looked down to see I had a bad case of morning-wood. I shook my head and did my best to ignore it.

When the door finally closed, I started to gather my clothes that I flung around the room before I went to bed. Thankfully they didn't smell; they still had Princess Luna's scent on it. My mind drifted away as I remembered that odd night with the Princess of the Night. I pondered wether it was a wise idea to touch the mare in such a way; not to mention that she's royalty.

I mentally crossed my fingers that she wouldn't bring that up.

I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, it was just... different is all.

Ignoring my internal monologue, I continued to prepare myself for breakfast. I couldn't really expect much, it would hopefully just be a quick bite. As much as I liked being served free food, I needed to return to the shelter; after all, I do have chores to do.


<><><><><><>

After cleaning myself up and stubbing my big toe on the bathroom door, I silently cursed my way to the door. When opened, a guard greeted me with a face of no expression.

The small unicorn guard mare sized me up. "If you would follow me sir, I am to escort you."

I gave her a silent nod and followed in her wake to the larger dinning room.

She enveloped the large door in a golden aurora and opened it for me to pass through. The others from last night's dinner were present at the large, rectangular table. Random decoration adorned the table with eating utensils placed neatly next to the large white, ornate platters and bowls. Princess Celestia sat at the far end of the table with Luna sitting on her left at the corner. In front of her was a open seat that I assumed was for me, which I made my way to.

"Glad you could join us Isaiah." Chimed Celestia.

I gave her a friendly smile. "No problema. After all, you are giving much appreciated help to me."

I sat myself down on the oddly formed chair. Next to me was Shining Armor, and adjacent to him was his wife; Princess Cadence.

None of them had any food served for them. "I hope I'm not keeping y'all from eating." I asked.

"No, you're actually on time." The Princess of Love said. "They should be taking our orders any second..."

As if on cue, two waiters entered the large dinning room with a note pads and pencils. They went for Princess Luna and Celestia first, then Shining Armor and Cadence, and finally me.

"May I take your order sir?" Asked the little unicorn mare.

I wasn't really sure what they were serving. I knew that all meat related foods were immediately eliminated for my line of choices. "What are y'all serving?"

"Anything you want sir." She happily said.

"Uh... pancakes I guess. And a bowl of fruit with a glass of water."

She quickly wrote down my order down onto the floating pad. "How many pancakes would you like."

"Sixteen..."

Her eyes widened a little.

"You must be pretty hungry." Luna mumbles.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Well I got'a last till dinner."

Shining Armor let out a grunt. "Till dinner? What, do you skip lunch?"

"Yes actually, I'm so used to rationing out my food supply when I'm away on long trips from home."

"That doesn't seem healthy..." Cadence said with concern.

"It's not that bad."

Luna frowned. "Don't you ever get hunger aches or pain."

I slouched down in the oddly formed chair. "Not anymore. I've had to do it so many times, my body just got used to it."

Everyone got really quite for a moment, until Celestia spoke up. "We can supply you with food Isaiah, I will not allow such a act to be done on ones self."

"Princess, I'm fine. I can supply food for myself. I forgot to mention that I was usually with a large group of other people who we had to share our food with. Not all of the food could be passed around so generously. When I finally get back to my shelter, I'll start stock piling food."

The mare of the night set her glass down. "We can supply you with bits so you can purchase the produce that Ponyville has to offer."

I shook my head. "Fruit and vegetables are nice and all, I'm talking about the fleshy kind you know."

She rolled her cerulean eyes.

The doors opened and some servants brought in our food and placed our orders in front of us. Everyone else had some type of breakfast food that looked a little strange to me. A mare set a small pitcher of maple syrup in front of; my eyes instantly glowed at the concoction of sweetness.

"Are you alright?" The lone stallion asked.

I let out a chuckle. "Yeah, it's just that maple syrup is a small luxury that Dustin rarely gets from the north."

"Well, go all out."

<><><><><><>

I slouched back into my chair with a smile on my face. In front of me laid a empty plate, bowl, and glass.

"I can't believe you ate all of that..." Celestia said as she gawked to me.

The only response I gave her was a happy sigh. The rest of them continued to chat between each other. I zoned out, the only thing I picked up was the word 'announcement' from their conversation. I didn't give it much thought.

Some time passed before Armor shook me from my stupor. I shot him a glared at him that screamed 'leave me alone'.

"It's rude to fall asleep at the table."

With a grunt, I sat myself upright and tried to listen to Princess Luna's part in the conversation.

"-and I must say, Isaiah is quite skilled with his hands. He gave me such pleasure last night before I fell asleep in his caring arms. He just made me feel so special, and cared for during my usually lonely nights.

My jaw slightly dropped at what Luna just mentioned. I could feel my cheeks glowing in embarrassment as Cadence gave me a surprised look with a smile and Celestia rising a eyebrow at me. The way she said it made it sound like I fondled her. Luna didn't pickup the looks that I was receiving.

"And to make it better, he carried me to my chambers and laid me in my bed."

I broke a little at her last line. The way she said it made it really sound like I had sex with her. I dared myself and glided my eyes of to the others at the table. Shining Armor had a thousand yards stare, his wife was trying to hide her giggling. Celestia on the other hand just looked at me with a face of no expression. And Luna... she just kept on talking.

"-I must say, nopony besides Celestia has cared for me like that. Isaiah is a true friend to me." She looked at me and I only nodded to her with a uneasy smile. She continued, "But, when I woke up this morning. I found this strange note next to me. What does this mean Isaiah?"

She unfolded my note and showed it to everyone present at the the long table.

I cleared my throat. "When you said that your power to move the moon was nothing, I just found that really odd. That then led me to think about myself and what makes me well; me. Your power to move the Moon is what makes you so special, and you should never forget that."

The mare looked at the paper. "But that doesn't explain your... hand print. What is the meaning of that?"

"That what makes me unique from the others. No two finger prints are alike. My finger print and you ability makes us different..."

Nice going Isaiah, smooth as fucking sandpaper...

Holy shit... that was bad. That was probably the most cheesiest thing I've said in a while. But, Luna seemed to like it, same with Cadence. Celestia was failing at hiding her giggles because of my poor choice of words. I'm sure that theres no away to rescues myself from the shame I have committed upon myself.

Thankfully Shining Armor caught my uneasiness and decided to help. "I was informed that if you want to return to your home, that we need to study some of your belongings. Is that right Princess Celestia?"

The white Alicorn turned back to her original calm composure. "Yes, that is correct. Do you have anything that you could give to us right now if I may ask?"

I looked down upon myself and decided to give her my belt. It wasn't something that I would need or miss. "Here, take my belt. I don't really need it." I removed it from my waistline and presented it to her.

"I'll retrieve it before you leave. Thank you." She pleasantly said.

"No Princess, thank you. Do you need anything else; like a blood sample?"

The awkward social-buttlefly known as Luna decided to add. "Yes, that could help to our research. Things like urine, saliva, skin, sperm, ha-"

Her last sample request left everyone speechless... again. A red hue began to form on both mine and Luna's cheeks, but she looked more flustered than I probably was. She then covered her eyes with her hooves with a frown of uneasiness adorning her red and blue face. Celestia then leaned over to her and whispered something in to her flattened ear.

I used the silence as an opportunity to get out of the room. "Hey Shining Armor, can you lead me to whatever where I'm able to give blood?"

"Um... sure." He mumbled.

Finally!

Me and Armor got out of our seats and made our way to the exit. But I stopped and turned around. "Thanks for inviting me over for breakfast, despite... well, you know."

Celestia leaned away from her sister. "No problem Isaiah. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

After that, me and the white stallion left for the research department.

<><><><><><>

Thankfully the visit at the research place was uneventful. I gave them everything that I could... except the other sample that Luna recommended. The researchers were very anxious to learn more about my anatomy, but me and Shining left before they ask any questions.

The only thing that I didn't like was that Shining Armor started becoming a douche all of a sudden. I'm absoutly sure that her thinks that I fucked the Princess which I didn't. I wasn't really in the mood to bring it up, I just ignored him.

He led me to the throne room where a certain white Alicorn sat on her throne with a radiant glow. She was talking to some noble dressed up in some ugly-ass clothing. He was stressed about something, but I couldn't tell. The expression on Celestia's face told me that she was tired of his shit. She brightened up when she laid her eyes on me.

"Mister coin, I'm afraid that your time is up. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." She politely asked the noble.

The noble, wasn't exactly to pleased when she asked. He let out a annoyed sigh. "Listen Princess, I'm tired of you-"

"Hey fucktard, she kindly asked you to leave." I hissed.

He turned around, his pupils immediately shrunk when he laid eyes on me. Without any words, he sprinted for the nearest exit.

"You shouldn't of done that Isaiah..." The Princess commented.

I huffed. "He was ignoring you, even though you politly asked him to leave, he kept on going."

"There was no need to use such language."

I just let out a grunt. Freedom of speech?

There air was silent as I waited for her to start talking. My patients was then rewarded.

"May you please leave us in private Captain?" She asked. Without a word Shining Armor turned around and made his was to the large do.

Soon as the door closed, the air felt still. My instincts were telling me that I was about to be thrusted into an uncomfortable situation.

"What do you need ma'am?"

She wore a small frown. "Was what Luna said really true? Did you mate with her?"

I froze up. I was wishing that I wouldn't be thrown into such an demeaning topic.

"No Celestia, me and Luna didn't have sex. Just let me explain."

Minutes passed by as I told the older sister of the events of the previous night. At first she was skeptical but once I had to go over the story and explaining the events in more detail, she was enlightened. She let out a little sigh and chuckle once I was finished. I really thought I fucked up big time, honest.

"For a moment there, I thought we had a problem upon our hooves... or hands." She lightly said.

I leaned to my left. "I did too Celestia. I promise I won't do it again, I swear."

"Isaiah, after what you told me, I know that it wasn't exactly your fault." She stood up from her throne and started to make way towards me. "I'm just protective of my little sister."

I nodded to her words. "I understand Princess."

She got closer and closer to me. she stopped when she was mere inches away from me. "I shall not tell a lie. I'm curious to know what your touch feels like. From the way she told it, it must've felt wonderful..." Once she said that, she leaned in waiting for me to touch.

Red flags and sirens went off as I argued with myself wether or should touch her or not. For all I know, this is some type of odd test of hers to know if I have any self control or what not.

"C-Come on Celestia, isn't that a little strange?" I nervously asked.

She stopped her advancement, looked at me and turned around with her head held high, she made a 'hmph' sound and walked back to her throne. The way she carried herself made it sound like she was disappointed with me.

"A little afraid of giving a Princess a little bit of attention Isaiah? I thought higher of you."

All I ask is for a normal day.

I looked down in little shame. "If that's what you what... then get back over here."

She looked at me and made a smirk. "Hmmm... nope."

"But didn't you just ask..." What?

"Yes I did. But you didn't want to Isaiah, I can't make you do something you don't want to."

"Come on Celestia." I said.

She just ignored me.

"Can you please let me touch you?"

She began to make a contemplating look on her face. "Mmm... Okay."

I made my way over to her and stood close to her. I then placed my right hand on her long, white slender neck and tenderly rubbed it up and town. I placed my left hand behind her left ear and started to gently rub. She then started to lean into me, making me slightly uncomfortable at the close contact. We stood like that for two whole minutes as I massaged her, she was very much enjoying just like her little sister. Around the three minute mark, I realized that she pulled the damn reverse psychology card on me.

Clever...

"You tricked me." I bluntly said.

She opened her eyes to reveal her rose pink eyes. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. It was too tempting to mess around with you."

I rolled my eyes. I just wanted to forget what just happened. I pulled my hands away and took a step back, much to her displeasure. Before I could get farther away she wrapped a foreleg around me and hugged me. Instead of trying to pull her away, I accepted her and returned the favor.

"Thank you, that was really nice of you to do that for both me and Luna." She happily chirped.

"Yeah yeah whatever." I calmly said.

She got a gleam in her eyes that just screamed suspicion. "I recommend that you should be the royal masseuse for my sister and I. Doesn't that sound like a great idea?"

No. "I don't know..."

She made a click with her tongue. "Well if you ever need a job, my recommendation is always open for you."

"Okay. Well I think it's about time I head back to Ponyville Princess, have a wonderful da-"

"You're not even going to say goodbye to us!?" I spun around to see a frowning Cadence and a non-carring Shining Armor in the doorway.

Quick! Think! "He-he, I was about to go search for you guys. I wouldn't dare leaving without saying goodbye."

My quick words turned her frown upside down. Shining on the other hand seemed to not care. "I knew you wouldn't!" I was thinking about it.

Me and the smaller Alicorn exchange goodbyes, but went to part ways with her she gave me a really awkward hug. And to make things even more awkward, her husband was right in front of us. I didn't know if should've return the hug or not, but when I glanced back to her husband he mouthed 'do it'. Which I did; earning a even tighter hug and a nod from Shining.

"Isaiah, your life seems so... difficult from where you come from. Do not hesitate to talk to me if you need help." She said as her husband helped me pry her away.

The way she said it made me seem like I had mental issues.

Mine and Shining Armor exchange very quick farewells. After that, they finally left.

The pair met a rather flustered Princess Luna at the doorway. From what I knew, she was going to join me on the way back to Ponyville.

It was clear that the mare was still embarrassed; she could barely maintain eye contact between us. It looked like she had seen better days truth be told.

"Well, you two better get going before you miss the train." Celestia broke in.

"Yeah, she's right. Let's get going. I don't want to walk if we do miss."

The white mare huffed. "When you say, it makes it sound like you don't want do be around me."

I could only groaned. As bad as it sounds, she was kinda right. She's... strange; not in the bad way, just surprisingly strange.

I turned around and tossed my belt at Celestia.

Thus we left.

<><><><><><>

Princess Luna and I sat across from each other in silence. We kinda just sat awkwardly, staring outside the window and not wanting to look at each other and the risk of making the situation more uneasy. I wanted to break the ice, but I couldn't decipher a way to start a conversation. For all I know, she wants hide away from me. The poor girl was probably mentally beating her self up because of her hiccups for awhile back.

I situated my body so I was facing her, trying to get her attention away from the passing scenery.

"So... what are we going to do once we get back?" I questioned.

She snapped out of her trance and tried looking at me, she everted her eyes away from mine. "Well, I'm having to continue my efforts for eliminating the Chupacabras."

"That reminds me, how is that dealing; the Chupacabra thing?"

The mare had a look of disappointment. "Last night-" She let out a sigh. "we got news that three squads went missing. We can only assume that the Chupas are the main cause of the disappearance. The commanders are very hesitant of sending more troops in after them."

I let out a low whistle in astonishment. That must've been hard for her take in when she got the news. I too can relate to those feelings of remorse and sorrow of missing troops; wether they be friends or allies. "Damn Princess, is there any way I can help?"

"I strongly recommend that you refrain from partaking in any activity involving those horrid beasts." The mare shifted her gaze back to the window. "I don't want to loose such a unique friend such as you."

Geez, the way she said it sounded really emotional to her. "Likewise." I said.

I too looked out the window to see the passing scenery in a sunny glow. I gotta say, I admire how she longs for the safety for her troops. I wish that I had the satisfaction of having someone caring for me as a leader. I felt bad for her, why did such a mare like her have to deal with such a difficult situation. Even though she told me not to, I'm going to look out for those troops of hers.

"Are you alright" She asked.

"Yeah."

My answer didn't suffice well with the mare. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm just thinking." I drifted my eyes to her and gave a smile. "Don't worry."

She didn't vocalize her answer. She only refocused her attention on the passing land.

"Your not still shaken up about this morning are you?" It probably wasn't the best idea to bring that thing back up. I only wanted to let her know that I forgave her mistake.

"Just a little. Sorry."

"Eh, it's okay. It may have been weird, but we got through it right?" I asked.

She finally made eye contact with me and smiled. "I guess we did. Looking back to it now, it's a little humorous."

"Oh I agree. You should of seen your sister's face; speechless."

We shared a moment of laughter with each other.

"What were you and Celestia talking about in the throne room?"

I knew that I kinda had to tip-toe around the answer. "Me and Celestia were just saying our goodbyes."

The train the Princess and I rode blared it's horn as we approached the train station in Ponyville. The iron horse slowed down to a crawl and into a final stop in front of the platform. When we exited, we were greeted Twilight and some of her friends. But one of them stood out; one I haven't met yet.

The pony was a very small pegasus mare. Her coat was a butter yellow, and her main and tail were flowing locks of light pink that hung limply to the ground. She had mesmerizing teal eyes that reflected the sun. Her body was a very slender built, it looked like she barley even had any type of weight one her. Her wings were tightly tucked against her body, just by looking at them I could tell that they were know way near as strong as Dash's. Her cutie mark consisted of three butterflies.

I tried shooting her a friendly smile but when I did, she responded by shrinking away behind Applejack.

Twilight decided to break in. "It's great to see you again Isaiah, you too Princess Luna." I could hear agreements from her friends except the yellow pony and Rainbow Dash.

The mare with the flaming gay mane shook her head in disapproval of me.

"Yeah... great." I sneered while looking at the offending mare. Thankfully the others besides Rainbow Dash didn't picked it up.

"Hey partner, we got sompony you got'a meet!" Hollered the Cowpony.

I focused away from the sky-blue and onto the un-introduced pegasus. I put on a more friendly face. "Oh yeah, I saw her right as I stepped off the train, She really caught my eye." The poor mare that I was referring to was shaking like a tree branch in the middle of a tornado.

Rarity decided to step in. She grasped the mare in her magic and pulled her away from the farmer. "Isaiah," She then nudged her closer to me. "this is Fluttershy."

Fluttershy seemed like she was about to explode.

"It's... a pleasure to meet you." I said.

She only let out a faint squeak and slowly returned behind her friends.

That could've been worse.

"Don't worry Isaiah, she's really shy." Twilight said.

"Explains the name..." I commentated.

The annoying pink one began to hop around on all fours in a circular motion. "YAY! FRIENDS MEETING FRIENDS!" She stopped to take a excessively long breath. "This. Is. AMAZING!"

I really wanted to go back to the shelter. I've only been back in this town for two minutes and the hyper active party animal already ruined it.

Applejack caught the scowl on my face. "Shimmer down there'a Pinks." She grasped her tail in her mouth and pulled her down.

Luna and I took this as our cue to leave. "It was really nice to meet you Fluttlershy."

Our early departure didn't sit well with the purple mare. "But you just got here, don't you want to rest and relax for a minute? How about you tell us about you home world Isaiah?"

"I'm very sorry Twilight but Isaiah and I have work to do. Isn't that right?" Luna asked, I nodded my head in agreement to make her point.

A chorus of 'awws' and a faint 'whatever' could me heard from the group.

Me and Luna locked eyes and rolled them as we left for the Everfree.
