A Soldiers' Heart
Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Some Extra Insurance ...
Previous ChapterDo you know how bad, how bad I felt after I and Dash ... You know ...? Well, I was just dreaming about why we were taking things so far so fast. From the day I met Dash, she seemed to have a liking towards me, and I appreciate that, but not to the point of sex. She just wanted to, and we were kinda out of it at that time. I was having a hard time digesting what had happened last night. Dash was in my arms, we were both naked, and I remembered AppleJack walking in on us after we finished ... She apologized ... She's not ... She's not ... Jealous? ... I-is she? I don't fucking know.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was well passed the morning, and Dash had been with me all day. I enjoyed her company, she was sweet and beautiful ... But after last night ... I couldn't bare to look at her. She finally noticed this behavior.
"Andrew? Is there something wrong?" she asked me.
"Yes and no, Dash. It's just that after last night ... I ... I'd hate to say this, but it was sudde-" I was cut off when Dash tackled me to the ground, kissing me on the lips. I couldn't help but give into my emotions as tears slowly dripped from my eyes as we kissed. "Dash ... No matter what ... I'll always love you. I was just afraid that we were rushing our love." I said, teary-eyed, looking at Dash in her eyes.
"I love you too. And besides, love isn't love unless you love the person, am I right?" she asked.
I nodded, and Dash nuzzled me. I smiled warmly, breaking the embrace. I cheered up, "I guess you are right on that one, Dash. I was just worried is all."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I walked into Ponyville, and some of the residents there who met me the night before waved. I waved back, and cheerfully walked through the town's streets with Dash. We were brought to a stop by Twilight.
"Hey guys!" she exclaimed. "How's it going?" the lavender unicorn asked.
"Oh, good, I guess." Dash replied.
"Mhm." I added.
"Good! I was wondering if you two wanted to attend a picnic with me and the girls in the afternoon?" Twilight asked.
"I don't see why not," Rainbow smiled.
"I got nothing better to do ... Hmm ..." I said, inspecting my gun strap. I had 4 separate clips, each holding 27 bullets, along with the Glock 17 that I owned. Upon inspection, two of the four clips were explosive bullets. Holy shit, where'd I get these?!
"What is that?" Twilight asked, looking at the gun and clips that were in my hand curiously.
"Think of it as a handheld cannon, the only differences being size and cannon ball size." I said, removing a bullet from the already-inserted clip.
"So, what is it called?" Twilight asked again.
"It's called a gun. There's guns the size of you back on Earth, and I've fired them off during the many wars."
"And what does that have to do with the picnic?" she asked.
"I wanna see how accurate of a shooter I am. I need some apples." I requested.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The picnic was happening only yards away from me, but I was just testing out my firing skills. The first shot made the girls jump, even after I warned them, too. I wanted to join in, but I didn't want to interrupt. They seemed to be in deep conversation. Rarity was wearing a large, pale beige sunhat. I could faintly hear their conversation;
"Oh ... It is gorgeous out, just gorgeous!" Rarity swooned at the sky. I could faintly hear little footsteps.
Twilight levitated an apple to her mouth, straight before she could see the baby dragon Spike approach them, panting.
"Twi ... Light ..." he panted, "I ... Have ..! ... Lemme just ..." the baby purple dragon groaned as he collapsed onto the blanket, sending a green flame from his mouth, followed by a scroll.
Twilight didn't hesitate to pick it up and start reading it aloud, "Dear Twilight; I am sure you are excited about the upcoming wedding in Canterlot ... Wedding? ... I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would very much like you and your friends to help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Fluttershy; I would like you and your songbird choir to provide the music."
"Oh my goodness, what an honor!" the yellow Pegasus 'exclaimed' at hearing this.
"Pinkie Pie; I can think of no one more qualified than you to host the reception." Twilight continued.
"Hip ... Hip ... Hooray!" the pink party pony met noses with Spike as she did a cartwheel, knocking over a tea pot, which Twilight levitated back up.
"AppleJack; you will be in charge of the catering for the situation." Twilight continued again.
"Well color me pleased as punch!" the farmpony exclaimed.
"Rainbow Dash;" Twilight remained. Rainbow Dash yawned, "I would very much appreciate it if you could perform a sonic rainboom as the bride and groom complete their 'I dos'."
Dash flew into the air, "EEEYESS!" she cheered.
"Rarity; you will be responsible for designing the dresses for the bride and her bridesmaids." Twilight continued.
Hearing this, Rarity went wide-eyed, "Princess Celestia wants me to h-ha..-ha.. Wedding dress ... For a Canterlot wedding ..." Rarity toppled over in either excitement or surprise, not sure which.
"As for you, Twilight; you will be playing the most important role of all; making sure that everything goes as planned. See you all very soon, yours, Princess Celestia." Twilight inspected the scroll the letter was written on, "But ... I don't understand, who's getting married?" she asked, confused.
"Oh! Wait, uh ... I was probably supposed to give you this one first." Spike said, handing Twilight yet another scroll.
"Princess Celestia cordially invites you to the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, and ... MY BROTHER!?" Twilight exclaimed, wide eyed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Yer' brother's gettin' married? Congratulations, Twilight, that's great news!" AppleJack exclaimed to a rather dreary-looking Twilight.
"Yeah, great news ... That I just got from a wedding invitation! Not from my brother, but from a piece of paper! Thanks a lot, Shining Armor. I mean, really, he couldn't tell me personally? 'Hey, Twilight, just thought you should know ... I'm making a really big decision that changes everything ... oh, nevermind, you'll hear about it when you get the invitation. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza? Who in the hoof is that?!" Twilight imitated a male voice, then exclaimed the rest partially angrily. But that's all I heard.
One of my friends in the army was actually a brony too. I was shocked when he called me. I answered, "Hello?"
"Dude! There's another episode of My Little Pony on! It's a back-to-back double episode! It's about Twilight's brother marrying this 'Princess Mi Amore Cadenza ..." he went on for nearly ten minutes. "HOLY TITS! SHE'S EVIL! SHE'S AN EVIL CHANGELING!" he spoiled the episode. "Dude! You gotta see this! Princess Celestia is ... NOOO!" he yelled, "NOT CELESTIA! CHRYSALLIS, YOU BITCH!" he exclaimed, spoiling the episode further. "THE CHANGELING QUEEN JUST HURT PRINCESS CELESTIA!"
My heart dropped, plummeting into my stomach. I hung up immediately, and rushed to Twilight and her friends. "I'm coming with you. I heard everything." I said seriously, loading explosive bullets into my gun. "Lemme test something first." I quickly aimed at a tree, and fired an explosive bullet that plummeted into the bark of a distant tree, the explosion severing it half. "Okay." I said, the girls looking at me wide-eyed as I placed the gun back into it's holster.
"Y-y'all seem worried, Andy, what's wrong?" AppleJack asked me.
"I just want to come along to congratulate Twilight's brother, is all." I said. AppleJack nodded, thank fuck she didn't see it was a lie.
"But Princess Celestia or Luna hasn't met you yet ..." Twilight said lowly.
"Hey, cheer up Twilight." I said, giving her a hug. "You know, your brother may have been busy with his work, I heard the part about him being captain of the royal guard and all. That's a pretty big responsibility. You know, you shouldn't be angry with him, he probably intended to tell you, but his work got the better of him." I reasoned with Twilight, who partially cheered up.
Twilight nuzzled me, a tear in her eye, "I'll write the Princess a note. Spike!" she called for the dragon, who summoned a quill and scroll.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Oh my," Celestia gasped. "Luna! There is a new being in Equestria!" the Solar Princess exclaimed, "I think he should come along. It would be an honor to meet him." she hadn't read the full note. "Due to his appearance, and him not appearing anywhere else than Ponyville, I will have to ask that he doesn't attend the wedding, but he could meet you afterwards. ... Ah, I see where Twilight is going. She is afraid that this 'Andrew' fellow she met may start a little panic. I'm still looking forward to meeting him, regardless." she said, rolling up the scroll, magically erasing it. She wrote a reply, and sent it.
"I agree with thou, 'Tia. I'm looking forward to meeting Andrew too. Though his name is quite strange ..." Luna said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
As I and the mane six boarded the trains, I wore a look of worry and concern. The girls didn't acknowledge this, except for AppleJack.
"Girls, Ah think Andrew's not tellin' us somethin' we should know ..." the orange farmpony said.
"Oh it's fine, he's probably just worried about how everypony will react to him in Canterlot if they see him." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well Ah'm gonna go n' talk to him." AppleJack said, walking towards the door to the next car, opening it and jumping to the next car.
She opened the door, to find me lost in my train of thought. "I can't let it happen. I have to protect-"
"Protect who?" AppleJack questioned.
"GAH!" Andrew screamed, making AppleJack jump. "AppleJack! Jesus Chri-"
"BEST WEDDING EVER!!!" the words echoed as the train went into a tunnel, coming from Pinkie Pie.
"Jesus Christ! You scared the fuck out of me!" I held my chest, my madly startled and beating heart pulsing furiously in my chest from the shock.
"Is there sumthin' you ain't tellin' us?" AppleJack straight-up asked.
"I'm just worried. Humans can tell when something's going to go wrong. And I have a bad feeling about the wedding. Not that I dislike the bride or groom, that is. I just have this aching feeling something horrid will happen." I explained, holding my head. "It's tugging at my heart, like I have someone to protect. I have to protect that 'person' in my conscience, or I'll supposedly lose it. I just have a feeling, AJ." AppleJack wrapped her hooves around me and hugged me as my concern got the better of me.
"Sugarcube, Ah understand ya' now. Don't worreh, everything'll be as sweet as my apple pies." she said, hugging me.
"Yeah, I wish I could say that too ..." I said, knowing what will or could happen, thanks to my friend.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The deep maroon bubble-shield passed by every being in the train. Since Equestria didn't have projectiles such as guns, my gun wasn't registered as a weapon, supposedly. The shield bubble made me get a sharp pain in my head. I was in the same cart as the rest of the mane six. "ARGH ..." I groaned, holding my head and dropping to my knees. "FUCK!" I exclaimed.
"Andy what's wrong!?" Dash raced to me.
"Nothing ..." I said, getting up, feeling better. "Just a sharp pain from that energy field ..."
As Twilight stepped out of the train, followed by the others of the Mane Six, Dash covered me with a large white sheet, and dragged my now motionless but conscious body out of the train on a trolley. "It's a statue," Dash said, covering for me. I almost sighed in relief as I was carried into a building.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I was carried up a flight of stairs, from what it felt like. "Dash, how much longer?" I complain-asked.
"Princess Celestia!" Rainbow Dash knocked on a door.
"Oh," came a voice. "Rainbow Dash! It is so nice to see you! What brings you here?" the voice asked. "What is this?" the voice asked again, probably looking at me.
"It actually ... Is Andrew. You can come out now, Andrew." Dash prompted me.
"Agh, finally. Er ..." I said, flapping my arms around the blanket, "- a little help, please?" I put my arms by my side. I was on flat ground now, and Dash helped me out of the sheet.
Celestia, the Solar ruler to Equestria stood before me. "Oh ... H-H-HI ..." I greeted. "I-I'm Andrew ..."
She seemed a bit surprised, but then I hopped down off of the trolley.
"Well hello, Andrew. It is so nice to meet you!" the large white alicorn replied with a warm smile. I couldn't help but smile back. "Luna! We have a guest! It's Andrew!" she called to her sister.
"The feeling is mutual, Princess Celestia." I said. "Wow ..." I stared at her mane.
"What?" she questioned.
"Your mane is amazing, it's translucent and very beautiful ..." I complimented.
"Why thank you! Where is your ... Mane?" she asked.
I couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Oh, Princess, our species actually do not have manes, you see, we - I - am a human being. Our race can grow hair all over the body, but not fur and manes alike equines."
"Bo-ring!" Dash complained, "I'm going to go practice for my sonic rainboom." she said, walking out the door. Me and the Princess laughed.
"Interesting. Those are some very ... Formal ... Garments ..?" the Princess said sarcastically, looking at my clothes. I wore the black T-shirt and black jeans.
"Well, I personally didn't have any formal apparel to wear, so I wore these. I heard I wouldn't really be coming to the wedding." I still had the worried look about my face.
"Is something wrong, 'Tia?" Luna walked from the balcony door. She gasped when she saw me. My jaw dropped. "My stars! Who is that!?" the Lunar Princess exclaimed at me.
"Luna, this is Andrew." Celestia introduced me to Luna, who calmed down.
I walked over to Luna. "Argh! Every pony here has such amazing manes!" I exclaimed, studying her mane. Both princesses looked confused. "Damn, sorry! I just get carried away like that sometimes." I apologized. "So. How are you both?" I started a conversation.
"Well, I am fine, thank you, Andrew." Celestia said. "If you do not mind, Andrew, I need to get back to surveying the landscape." and with that, the white alicorn returned to the balcony, leaving Luna with me.
"I am Princess Luna. Please, call me Luna, Andrew." she reached a hoof out, and I shook softly, bowing down.
"It is an honor, Luna." I said, standing back up.
"Pray tell," Luna asked, "May I ask thou some questions?"
"Sure." I said, sitting down in a chair that was there, followed by Luna, who sat down on a lounge.
"Well, thy princess of the night would like to know the place of thou origin."
"I am from the far-off planet Earth. Well, I'm not exactly sure how far we are from my home planet, but I bet it is quite a distance." I said.
Luna asked quite a lot of questions. I wasn't bothered though, I actually liked talking about my origin and stuff along those lines.
"Humans dance to a style of music called 'Dubstep'. Here's a video I saved on my communication device," I said, showing Princess Luna a video of a human dancing to Dubstep.
After the video finished, Luna looked surprised. "Humans move unrealistically!" she exclaimed. "Yet their movements are so intriguing!" she said. "They are perfectly on-beat with the music!"
"Well, I can dance like that for you if you want a live example." I offered. Luna beamed at this suggestion.
Suddenly, Luna replied, "Yes! Please do, Andrew."
So I decided to copy the moves of 'ImKevinT' and 'PaulKabesa' on Twitter from the video: Dubstep Dance | Elegance | Daft Punk - Derezzed (I recommend watching that, holy shit is it ever awesome, though.)
I began as soon as the heavy kicks chimed in, pulsing my body, stopping and starting when the kicks came in, walking forward. When the bass dropped into the Dubstep melody, I began moving like the guy in the white T-shirt in the video. Of course, I messed up a bit here and there, but Luna didn't seem to notice.
Princess Celestia walked in for a little check-up, and as soon as she saw me moving, she sat down with Luna and watched too. Luna explained to her sister that she requested him to dance like this, and he accepted. The two sisters watched in awe and amazement at my performance. I tried my hardest, and it payed off for the most part, a few mistakes here and there, but good, regardless.
When I stopped, both princesses of Equestria, PRINCESSES OF. EQUESTRIA. Clapped in amazement and approval of my performance, well, clapped their hooves ... But whatever.
"Those are some talented dancing moves you have, Andrew!" Celestia complimented. "How do you do it?" she asked.
"Years of practice and learning to control my muscles, Princess Celestia." I bowed a thanks, and the Princess of the sun and day returned to the balcony.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I slept in the tower that night. Celestia wanted to, and there were three separate rest chambers up there anyway. Celestia slept in one, I slept in one, but Luna stayed up to watch over Canterlot.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Andrew," a soft and calm voice brought me to consciousness slowly.
"Oh," I tiredly muttered, "Good morning, Princess."
"Good afternoon, actually." Luna said. "Tia is attending the wedding right now. It should be done in a matter of-" my door opened. In stormed an irritated Princess Celestia. "Sis, what happened?" Luna asked her sister.
"Twilight made the bride uneasy, and the groom angry. The wedding is postponed until later today, unfortunately. I am disappointed in her." Celestia said.
"What'd Twilight accu ..- say?" I chimed in. Celestia looked at me.
"She accused Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of being evil." she said.
My expression said 'I know something about this.' Luna picked up on that, "What do you know?" she asked.
"I knew my instincts were right! Aughghhh!!!!!!" I groaned, sitting up in bed. "THE ACHING... BACK ... ARGH!" I groaned, holding my head, dropping into a fetal position on the bed. "MUST PROTECT YOU ..." I pointed to Celestia.
"Me? What would I need protection from?" Celestia scorned.
"I ... I don't know, Princess. I'm so concerned about my instincts right now that I can't overcome them. I need to be at the wedding tomorrow, but not be there. I'll remain in the shadows. I need to get ready. Trust me, a human's instincts are never wrong." I said, brushing my hair.
Celestia giggled. "You can come along, but I highly doubt anything will go wrong, Andrew." she said, leaving the room.
I cringed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I got into position. I was in the shadows as I said, in the ball room. Twilight was nowhere to be seen. The wedding was going on before me, and Shining Armor spoke up, "Where's Twily'?" and that's pretty much all I heard from my position. The crowd of equines mumbled their own opinions and conversations.
Just then, the door burst open, and in stepped Twilight. "STOP!" she yelled. I couldn't hear the rest of what they were saying, but I saw the ponies below silently groan and scorn in disappointment.
"Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother?! ... WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO RUIN MY SPECIAL DAY??!" the 'Bride' sobbed.
"Because it's not your special day, it's mine!" and a 'clone' of Princess Candace walked beside Twilight.
"How did you get passed my bridesmaids?" the imposter bride snapped. Twilight and the REAL bride went over how they got passed them. "Clever." and that's what I heard, until the Changeling Queen appeared.
I didn't hear what she was saying over the gasps of the crowd of equines, but they could. Celestia suddenly locked horns with the dark queen, and then rose above. "... FROM YOU!" was all I heard from Celestia, as the two princesses shot beams of energy from their horns. I dropped down and sprinted to the Dark Queen, anger tearing through my common sense.
"FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled, delivering a powerful blow and a tackle to the Dark Queen, sending her stumbling. Celestia dropped to the ground, as I mercilessly beat the Dark Queen with my fists.
"PLEASE ... MERCY!" she begged and screeched.
I held her and picked her up by her throat, showboating my strength as I walked to the top of the stairs, I was pissed off mad like you wouldn't believe. "Who made you God, YOU WHELP? You're lucky I don't just kill you!" I exclaimed, shooting a bullet through her horn, severing it in half, a screech of pain emitting from the Dark Queen's lips. I threw the Dark Queen onto the ground, and tears ran from her eyes. "Changeling Queen, you pathetic whelp! What makes you think you can just, barge on in here and take one's land! How cruel and dishonoring! You take one's affection and love for another and use it for your own benefit? REVOLTING! YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING ASHAMED!" I bellowed. Every pony in the room had fled. "I KNEW MY INSTINCTS WERE RIGHT!" I yelled. "I KNEW SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG!"
"My horn!" the Dark Queen exclaimed. "No matter ... My Changeling army will still break through the weak-minded Shining Armor's protection spell." she hissed with venom and fear of me.
My expression was still of anger. I stomped over the Dark Queen. "I am not always like this. You brought this upon yourself," I said, taking the butt of my gun, and knocking the Changeling Queen unconscious. Everybody around me gasped in horror, which was only the Mane Six. "Why ... Just why am I so violent." I dropped to my knees, sobbing myself. I clenched my fists and looked down to the ground. The Changeling Queen has a bruise on her face. I stood up, and saw that Princess Celestia was unconscious from the drop. I dropped my gun and ran to her. "Princess ..." I wept over her motionless body. "I did all I could. I protected you the best I can."
"Andy ... What the buck just happened?!!" AppleJack exclaimed at me.
"You see, AppleJack, my instincts were right. Chrysalis, queen of the changelings, was the bad feeling I had. I didn't know it was her at first. It was human nature to resort to violence. That's all I am ... A heartless beast ... A monster." I wept.
"You're not a monster ..." a now subconscious Celestia said, looking up at me. "What you did was an act of valor ... I never knew you could be so trustworthy and loyal of your feelings. You could have stopped something dreadful from happening, and you did." even in a subconscious state, Celestia gave a warm smile.
I dripped tears for a small amount of time, and helped Celestia up. She stumbled, but I kept her in balance. "You alright, Princess? That fall seemed a bit much." I asked, concerned. I supported her walking. "Girls, get her to her private chambers. ASAP." I commanded, Dash and AppleJack supporting the Alicorn as they guided her from the ball room to her private chamber.
Shining Armor snapped out of the spell that was cast over him. "Whoa ... What happened?" he shook his head. "Where'd everypony go?" he asked. He noticed me. He tried screaming, but the love drain left him weak. Candance walked over to him.
"It's okay." she said, hugging him.
Twilight was the only one looking up, "Shining Armor! You need to cast your spell! They're breaking through!" the changelings were braking the protective shield around Canterlot.
"Urghh... Mmmph ..." Shining armor's horn glowed dully, and he groaned, "I'm too weak!" he exclaimed.
"SHIT!" I yelled, grabbing my gun, in case this crap went down.
"My love will give you strength," Candance said, hugging him again, locking horns with one another, creating sparks. I saw a heart pop from Candance's horn, and touch both of their horns. Now I could see the blue and red aura coming from both their horns forming into a purple ball of energy in the center of their bind. The light was almost unbearable, so I hid my eyesight.
The Dark Queen looked up, and the two ponies Candance and Shining armor were levitated by ... Well ... Love. A massive explosion of light purple energy shockwaved through Canterlot, sending the damaged and screaming Changeling Queen and her army flying towards the Everfree forest.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The Next Day ...
"Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union, of the real Princess Mi Amore Candenza-" Celestia was interrupted by Candance,
"Princess Candance is fine." she said.
"Mm. - The union of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear, the power of their love; undeniable. May we have the rings, please?" the white alicorn gestured Spike, who held the cushion with two horn-rings up to Celestia. Celestia levitated the rings, and slid them down Shining Armor and Candance's horns, "I now pronounce you ... Mare and Colt!" everypony cheered.
I stood beside Princess Celestia, who gave me a soft and warm smile. Everypony calmed down, and Celestia started again, "And I would like to personally honor Andrew," I smiled and bowed, "Who protected me from the dreadful Changeling Queen. As a reward for his tremendous act of valor, I give him this medal." the Princess levitated a red-strap neck medal, with a gold medallion in the shape of the sun. She levitated the medal onto my neck. Everypony cheered.
"Thank you!" I called out. "Woo ... Thank you. Thank you, Princess Celestia. I want to personally congratulate, as the only living human being in all of Equestria, Shining Armor. Good job, buddy." I congratulated, uprising the cheering as the couple walked onto the balcony, where Canterlot was crowded with equines of all colors, shapes and sizes, cheering for their love.
Celestia tapped Rainbow Dash's shoulder, "That's your cue, Rainbow Dash!"
"Oh!" she snapped to attention, and literally flew out of her dress, and broke the sound barrier in the sky as she flew, A SONIC RAINBOOM!!!!!! MY LIFE IS FUCKING COMPLETE!!!!!!!!
I cheered wildly, "WOOOOOOO!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!" I cheered as the rainbow trail soared over Canterlot.
- - - - - - - -
The afterparty was amazing, ponies thanked me, I hung out with the Wonderbolts, Celestia and Luna! Oh my God, life is so fucking good! I couldn't help but smile a lot during the celebration.
"Andrew," Celestia said.
"Yes?" I replied.
"I think you deserve this," the elder Alicorn gestured me to hug her. I did.
There was so much more of her compared to other ponies! She was so much fun to hug! Jeez! Holy crap ... Don't lose train of thought. It was just a subtle, friendly hug anyway.
"I can't thank thou enough for potentially saving my sister's life," Luna gave me a hug too. I was blushing now.
"I did what I had to," I explained. "Some ponies' life was in danger. I was a soldier, and I live up to my title as a keeper of the peace, regardless of whether it be a pony or a human." I said, making Celestia smile. God, I love the way she smiles. It makes me feel proud of something.
"Why don't you dance to celebrate?" Celestia teased. I never knew she was like this. I blushed, as she nudged me to the center of the 'dance floor' with the Bride and Groom.
"Alright, alright ..." I laughed. I began to dance like a robot, making some ponies laugh, and others drop their jaw in awe and amazement at my muscle control and overall dance moves.
BASS. DROP.
And I danced. I danced for quite a while, before falling to the floor laughing, along with Pinkie Pie. The princesses giggled at our behavior, and then we let the Bride and Groom have the floor. They danced in each other's embrace to a slow piano piece. Dash landed next to me, and gave me a hug. I gave her a quick peck, "That sonic rainboom was amazing, Dashie." I said, rubbing her mane.
"It was, wasn't it? Third one I did in all my life!" she perked up.
"Ah Dash, I love your attitude." I said, rubbing her mane. She giggled.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
After the Afterparty, Ponyville, near midnight ...
Me and Dash laid in the guest room bed. We just stared into each-other's eyes, feeling warm. Not the sexual kind of warm, but warm as in the sense of love for each-other. I cuddled Dash, and my medal was set on the table. We kissed one final time, until we both slept.
Fingers ... Dying ... Light ... FADING ... I spoil you guys too much at my own expense T~T
