We were escorted by a few guards to the main chamber with huge wooden doors that opened automatically. I was intrigued about how they managed to make such devices without hands of feet. The dining room was well lit and at the center was a huge round table with a wide variety of vegan cuisine.

We take our places and I ended up sitting next to Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. We didn't wait long before the royal sisters joined us and took their places and began to dine. As we ate Celestia would pause and ask me about the other humans that were in orbit around her planet and their intentions. I explained to her again that I was put on standby and frozen for 143 years and I wasn't sure about what was going to happen. My home world was destroyed by its own inhabitants and they colonized the world next to it and thats all I knew.

She nods and asks about the device on my arm and it's purpose. I wasn't sure but I knew it had something to do with keeping me alive. The humans that were sent here to check out the signal I sent died when they were exposed to the atmosphere of this world. Even though I shot them they would have lived if the air wasn't poisonous to them. But I had to admit watching that womans head explode was really funny. But I didn't say that out loud.

We continue on with dinner while they talked gingerly about the days events and I sat quietly and played with my food. I stare over at Dash and Applejack to see Dash whisper something to her. I wondered what they was trying to keep secret and got suspicious when Applejack slowly turned her head to me and slipped me a grin.

I felt my stomach flop and became nauseous I excused myself to the balcony for some air. Fluttershy excused herself as well and followed me outside. I hang my head over the railing and take deep breaths  to calm myself. I look up at the orange sky at the object hanging over the horizon.

I turn around when I hear a tiny voice from behind. "Are you okay Dax are you sick?" I spot Fluttershy standing with a slightly tilted head as she asked. "You dont look so good whats the matter?" I didn't want to tell her I told Dash about us I might upset her and was afraid of what her reaction would be. But she deserved to know and I told her to meet me in my room later on tonight so I could explain .

She nods and smiles which to me was was stronger than any antidepressants ever produced. She had a gift to make others feel better just by being around. I wanted so bad to just hug and kiss her to death but tried to show restraint and just smiled back.

I tell her I was feeling better and we should probably get back to dinner. She nods and followed me back to our seats. Twilight asks if everything was okay and I nod. A short while later night had set in and we all excused ourselves to our chambers under escort.

Applejack rushs to my side and shocked me to the core when she asked. "You okay loverboy?" I didn't say anything back I just kept walking along like I didn't hear her. I was quite angry with Dash at this point for telling Applejack and breaking her promise to me.

We made our way back to our rooms and said our good nights. I wanted to sneak over to Dash's room and smother her with a pillow for being such a liar. But I refrained and sat quietly at the foot of my bed.

After a few minutes which felt like hours in my solitude I hear the door slowly open and Fluttershy poke her head in to scan the room. She spots me on the bed sitting up and trots in quietly. The walls were made of stone and provided excellent soundproofing.

She hops up on the bed beside me and lays her head on my shoulder and asks.   "Are you sure your okay it looks like something really got you all worked up?" I just cut to the chase and just wanted to confess about what I did.

I clear my throat and sigh. She had to know I owed her that much so I began and said it so fast it was almost undecipherable. "I told Dash about us and she may have told Applejack too I'm so sorry. I don't blame you if you hate me."

I closed my eyes expecting her to storm out of the room or kick the crap out of me. Her reaction shocked me when I felt her tongue lick the side of my face and heard her say. "It's okay I'm not mad at you. I appreciate your honesty but it's nothing to be ashamed of I really like you too."

I reopen my eyes and look over my shoulder at her. I knew I was more than attached to her now. I was in love with her. Back on Earth girls like her were almost nonexistent. All she wanted was my love and affection. It didn't matter to her what job I had or how much money I made. My love was all she wanted and it showed in her eyes.

I wrap my arm around her and said. "Anypony else would be lucky to have you. You deserve much better than me." Her teal eyes fixed on me and smiled as she said. " Don't say that I've got something in mind that will take your mind off all your stress.
