Silver haze woke up in a haze.

Heh, that never got old to think.

Silver grunted as he got up and streached, his magic sparking slightly as he streached out his magic feild as he tried to warm up his pwers, he smiled as he walked down the hall of the tree library as he began to browes the books, he smiled about the simplisity of the decor, it was eligant and homely without being oversimplified or dull, a very ballenced mix.

Silver walked foward, he head twilight and spike eating downstairs as they chated about their day, and the events of the last hearths warming eve a few weaks ago.

Silver kissed twilight on the cheek as he walked down the stairs “Honny I’m going to go out ok? there are some reports of agressive manticores in the everfree, Celestia dosn’t think the fog is involved but still wants me to check it out, I don’t know why she’s sending me on all these pointless erens over the last few weeks, anyway, do you think you’ll be ok without me?” Twilight chuckled.

“Silver, I was just fine on my own before you came into my life, I think I can last the day without you.” Silver gasped and put a hoof to his forehead dramaticly.

“Oh! So you are implying that you do not need me, huh well fine, miss just fine. I will see you later” Silver said in a huff as he walked out the door.

Twilight rolled her eyes “give him a day... he’ll get over it” she scoffed at silvers over-the-top reacton she was sure he wasn taking it to heart, she knew for shure that he at the least understood sarcasm, so with that she whent back to doing her cerial and drinking her coffe, spike was eating his breakfast, eggs and gems.

“Hey twilight?” Spike said, shocking twilight out of her transe, yes “spike?” she said questonaly

“Whats been up with silver, he’s been on edge for a while?” Twilight chucked

“Silver has just been a bit stressed lately, the FOG has come back in force, I worry about the future...he is too, plus Celestia has been working him ragged at every avinew that could lead to discorvering more about the fog, she is really serious about finding out about this…” Spike nodded somberly.

“Well twilight whats your plan for today?” Spike asked, twilight nodded with a hun, I’m not sure spike, I think I might go out and walk around town.

“Hey! Are you going to go see rarity?!?!” Spike asked hapily twilight almost chuckled

“Yes I will spike, but not just for a frendly visit, the anual Grand Galoping Gala is coming up quickly, I have to go because I am a princess now, and they’ve all decided to give it another go, with more reasonable expectation this time around

Rarity had decided that since twilight was a princess she would need a new dress to her new statuer, she was very insistant in this.

Though twilight did not neccarily agree she did agree that it was neccary. so she was going to get the dress from rarity today, who had given herself much more time to compleat them

“Thats why I want to go to rarities spike, sorry, I know you might have wanted to go, but otherwise I have...uhh, Mare business there.

“its ok twilight I will be fine I will be just fine you enjoy yourself I know you will!” Spike said with gusto as twilight grabbed her things to head towards rarity’s house. as she stepped out the door she was greeted by a beatiful morning. the sun was shining the air was fresh, and today semmed like a good day.

“Oh such a wonderfull day~” Twilight began to sing, several ponies jumped in line

anyway, two musical numbers later about friendship, bright and happy days and how nothing could possibly happen or go wrong. Ever. Twilight found herself at Rarity’s shop.

“Rarity!” Twilight called out into the shop as she entered, a small chime signaled her entry.

“Coming~ Welcome to Car- Oh! Twilight, I didn’t realise it was you, please come inside and take a set.” Rarity quickly ussured twilight inside the shop, it looked, well, messy for lack of better terms, but Twilight also noticed a few things that were normaly there seemed missing, though she coulden’t quite remember what they were, it was obvious she had done some fernature changes.

“Now, Twilight, I’m going to head into the back for a moment, just wait here untill I grab your dress!” Rarity said as she ran up the stairs.

Twight was left alone in the large storefront/home, the decor was fancy, but one could barly tell under the piles of (otherwise fabulous) cloths and fabric bits left around, obviously Rarity had forgoten about their visit, though she wondered what had her so worked up…

*KOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Twilight jumped at the sudden noise, and without thinking came inside and let the pony in.

“Delivery for one miss rarity!” Twilight was surpised, parhaps it was a new fabric.

“Oh I am her friend, I will take it for her.” The delivery pony seemed to get very nervous

“I am afraid we are only alowed to let the recipiant take the package m’am. Company poloacy and all that.” He politly coughed into his hoof.

“I am an Equestrian princess, do you think you could bend the rules, jusssttt this one time?” Twilight ask,

beads of sweat formed on the delivery pony’s forehead.

this was it, this was the choice that would define his life, should he serve his Princess or uphold his Moral, he had been born under the Princesses, but he had taken an Oath to his duty...oh why did the fates hate him so, to give him such a choice, he wanted to say yes, to bend the rules, but who was he to decide when the rules are to be used? What if he set an example for ALL mail carriers!?! What if all of his coworkers just stopped caring altogether! It would devolve into chaos! Nopony would trust a carrier with their packages anymore, then everypony would be forced to send their messages and packages by dragonfire, which was super expensive!

“Sir are you ok?”

In fact, with no competition and a rising demand, the price of dragonfire mail would skyrocket...only the rich would be able to transport letters! After all the mail carriers went out of business, getting news by Dragonfire would be too rare, all the newspapers would go out business...without newspapers…

“Hello? Sir! Can you here me, blink, please. It’s getting kinda creepy…”

Oh...oh without newspapers, nopony would know what was happening in the world, greedy nobles would take advantage of this new lack of knowledge to manipulate the ponies! Forcing them to work under the impresion of false laws that they had no way to opose!

“Ok...I’m just going to take the package...and leave you here...if you are still here when I come back...I-I’ll get a doctor for you, ok?”

After that, though, eventually ponies would become fed up with this system, they would start a revolution! The lower class rising up like a massive tide towards canterlot, Unicorns would wrestle with celestia over control of the sun! Earth Ponies beating canterlots massive gates, Pegasus ponies creating massive storms to terrorise those within! Celestia, oh poor Celestia would be torn between protecting herself and her ponies!

Twilight, thouroughly creeped out by the Mailpony who was getting increasingly more horrifying and disgusted looks on his face as the seconds ticked out, decided to go check out the back of rarity’s shop, just...anywhere not here.

But that would not be it! After the monarchy was deposed, the revolution, unsure of who its leaders truely were, would devolve into a civil war! The long since useless surviving royal lines would each claim the throne! Blueblood, The Platnum Prince of the unicorns, Spitfire, the head general of what use to be a grand pegisus army, but who now runs a stunt team, and...well the earth ponies never really had royalty but...you know what! Whoever they would probably be old and cranky!

Silence descending over carousel boutique as though rarity was just upstairs, and twilight was somewhere in the back, but the lone pony still sat there, lost in his thoughts.

Eventually, a winner would be decided and peace would come again...unless the griffons sensed our inner turmoil and weakness and attacked! Brutal warfare would rage across equestria and we would have to be united once again! Ponies would band together, the wounds of the war sealed shut as a common enemy emerged! After long long years of war, we would come out victorious, if only just barely and our new leader who united us would bring in an untold age of discovery and peace, united not under an all powerful leader, but a simple hero of the ponies! Equestria would once more be at peace.

yet...the losses would be immense, familes shattered, homes wreaked as brother was forced against brother, sisters against sisters...would all that death, all the killing... was it really worth it?

The mail pony shut his eyes and resigned himself to his fate.

“I will not my princess, smite me if you must, but the rules must be obeyed. You of all ponies should understand, if I must be a martyr for what I believe in then make me one...but if you will not and alow me to live, know that I have done what I have done for your own sake...a good day to you princess.” and at that point the brave mailpony turned before opining his eyes, his gaze on the horizon, but his thoughts on the future...and how his bag seemed lighter, but mostly on the future. With that, the pony strolled into the town, his mind burdened...but knowing he had done right. Whatever the consequences may be…

anyway after the crazy pony had left, twilight peaked her head out from the bathroom in the back where she had hidden, as she walked out, twilight noticed something glowing in the back of the shop, her curiousity overwhelming her socal protocol, she walked forwads to it, as she entered the back, she gasped.

The room was covered with blueprints, some appeared to be of dresses, others seemed to be of armor and a few seemed to be of weapons of mass destruction, all of them had notes writen all over them, in order as she saw the blueprints she also read the notes attached, WRONG, NOT TOUGH ENOUGH and most worriedly NOT FABULOUS ENOUGH.

“Twilight? Are you back here?” Twilight flew up and desperately grabbed at the light above her head, however, she felt Rarity’s magic carefully carry her down and rest her on the floor.

“I..I’m so sorry Rarity I didn’t mean to pry! There was this crazy pony! Th-then I hid back here and I just stumbled onto this room I’m so sor-” She was cut off by Rarity gently closing her mouth. Before chuckling gently

“Its FINE Darling, don’t worry yourself, I was going to tell you girls eventually, I just wanted it to be a surprise. I’m not angry at you.” Twilight let out a sigh of relief, however, something was still bugging her.

“Wait...how did you get these blueprints! These were on th- DID YOU STEAL THESE FROM THE PEACEMAKER” Twilight began freaking out, if silver found out he would be furious, he loved that ship more then her, (Something she had just come to accept, tartarus if she was sharing him with another mare why NOT share him with a freaking inanimate ship.) and if he found out rarity had taken from it…

Rarity only rolled her eyes again “No darling, silver gave them to me, I expressed interest in it and he gave me permission to use them as I pleased.” At this twilight relaxed. Everything was ok.

“Wait...Rarity...what is in this package I’m holding.” At which point rarity took the package and smiled.

“A true lady NEVER kisses and tells.” and after giggling and winking dramaticly, she lifted the box up and put it on a shelf labled “EXPLOSIVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.” This gave all the information twilight needed to know.

“Well Twilight? Do you want to get out of this dirty room and go see your dress?” Rarity inquired.

Twilight nodded before following after rarity as she left the room, whent down the hallway, went up the staircase, and entered Rarity’s sewing room.

Rarity trotted to the end of the room, before dramatically pulling twilight to her, and in a flash, Twilight felt herself covered in fabric and magic as the dress was forced on her, it was the one thing Twilight enved of her friend’s magic, Twilight had the raw power, but rarity had this elegant...precision to her spells, they were spot all, she had never met a unicorn with the same control over their levitation, Rarity could manipulate hundreds of tiny needles, a sewing machine, a mannequin and SING, at the same time and not mess up a single one of those objectives.

After he thoughts were finnished, so was Rarity, she had fitted the dress. Her dress was breathtaking. the bottom had a regal poof to it, complmented by a purple, blue pattern with white ribbons to perfectly compliment her features. the chest and back peice was tight, yet was dressed in bows that weived themselves around the rest of the dress.

“Wow Rarity! You really outdid yourself!” Rarity blushed at the compliment.

“I had to go all out darling, its not everyday that a pony gets to make a dress for royalty...for me it tends to be more...once a month?” Rarity ended with a cheeky smile. Twilight snorted at the joke before blushing and covering her mouth, embarrassed. Which caused Rarity to snort, prompting a similar reaction, suddenly, both mares burst out laughing. Just two friends enjoy each others company, Although Twilight loved spending her time with silver, she missed it just being her and her friends together, no worries, no weird Alicornian mating rituals or anything, just her and her friends.

After calming down, Rarity gave a very ladylike clear of her throat “Well then my dear Twilight, as much as I would love to stay and chat, I must run our other friends dresses down to them if we wish to be ready in time for the gala. Tata!” Rarity said as she scooped up some dresses in her magic before running out the door. Leaving twilight to her thoughts, and her hopes for her first gala with her love Silver.

SIlver walked deeper into the everfree, it was getting dark he’d been in there so long. he had seen many manitcores, and managed to defend himself against all the ones that atacked him… but no sign of the dark fog, so his mission was compleate. as silver began to walk back home, thoguhts of his last time with twilight went through his head. silver bitterly mumbled to himself “doesn’t need me… fine before i came here” silver mummbled, still annoyed about twilight and how she had so easily dismissed his services, he had pledged his life to her, and she so easily told him she ‘didn’t need him’ fah, parhaps it was just an equestrian thing? No, what kind of culture makes light of commitment like that! Suddenly something caught his ear however. it was none other than a mare’s shreik.

quikly, silver dashed to go and help whoever was in trouble. when he reached the epicenter of the noise he saw none other than the most beuftiful, attractive, most drop dead georgous unicorn mare he had ever seen. she had a light reddish-brown coat, a red mane with purple highlighs, and her eyes were a beatiful gold colour. silver gazed at her for a while, before she noticed him.
“you, can you please help me?” she said with slight panic in her voice as the vines that were already tight around her grew even tighter. aside from the worry in her voice, silver noticed that her voice was that of a mature sub tone, and a slight manehatten accent that silver found very attractive.

Silver shook his head to focus, and he grabbed his sword, which he had out in case of mantocres attack, and used to to slice the vines open. upon revealing the mare, silver saw that she was had a strikingly attractive figure as well.

the mare fell to the ground, grasping her chest as she took deep breaths, releaved that she was now able to breather. after a moment of catching her brwather she stood up
“thank you for saving me” she started “my name is Rose Nova” she said as she picked up her glasses that had fallen to the ground.

Silver was about to speak when he noticed that she was very close to him, and he got a good look at her long, full lashes, that made silver even more attracted to her. SIlver stepped back “greetings, i am Prince Silver Haze. Nice to meet you, Rose” said silver.

“so you’re a Prince?” said rose, the intrest in her voice picked up. “so you must have access to the Grand galloping Gala?” she added.

“why yes, i am an honorary attendee” said silver.

“lcuky me, so am i” said rose. “perhaps we could meet again there” she added.

silver nodded absent mindedly

“well, goodbye for now” she said with a wink, and she stepped back and teleoprted away. silver was conflicted. how did someone who was just attadcked act as if it didn’t happen. silver though but coukdn’t come up with anything. perhaps he could ask her at the galla. for now, rose filled her mind the rest of the night.
