Chapter 21
Race.

“You are delaying the inevitable Sky! Get your ass over here!” Star shouted as he ran madly after his prey.

“Dude I’m sorry! Can’t we talk about this?”

“What is there to talk about? You banged my sister, and you did it on the same night when I found out she’s a stripper.”

“Well when you put it like that.”

Sky ran for his life not caring about anything else, he kept running into small rooms and hallways hoping that in his rage Star won’t think about taking off into the air.

Two bat ponies were continuing their chase endlessly through the whole castle, they passed by many night guards, eventually their race was noticed by the Princess of the Night herself.

Luna stood in confused shock for few moments after two bat ponies just dashed before her eyes only leaving a trail of dust behind.

“Princess! Are you alright?” Captain Riddick asked as he approached the ruler of the Night.

“I’m very fine, thank you, but what in Equestria is this?”

“I have no idea my majesty, these two have been going like this for quite some time now, I was just on my way to stop them and…”

“Don’t.”

Riddick blinked dumbly a few times and shook his head “Pardon me? I think I didn’t hear right could you repeat Princess?”

“Don’t stop them.”

He scratched back of his head in confusion. “I will do as you say your majesty, but may I ask, why?”

“Come with me, you’ll understand.” Luna said and begin to trot forward chuckling all the while.

Riddick was once again dumbfounded but he followed her nevertheless.

“Sky! Here’s the deal, if you will stop right now…”

“We will talk?”

“No, I will kill you quickly so you won’t feel pain.”

“Screw that kind of deal!” Sky shouted back.

“Then I’ll make sure you will feel each second of your death!”

Sky ran forward fueled by fear and adrenaline flowing through his veins, at this point of the run they already were making a full circle and so he jumped into royal gardens.

“Seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, I win.”

“For Faust sake, if only they came here one minute later.” Nova said facehoofing.

“Well whatever, you owe me 10 bits.”

“Hey is that Princess Luna and Captain Riddick?”

Nova raised his head and followed Void’s hoof with his eyes. “You’re right, where are they going? And is Luna, chuckling?”

“Seems so, you think Riddick told her some kind of funny joke?”

“Yeah, sure and I am next alicorn Princess.”

Void pondered on something for few moments, he looked at Nova and stared at him with his hoof under his chin.

“What is it?” Supernova asked.

“You would make a nice Princess.”

“All of my hate.”

*****

Meanwhile the race for Sky’s life continued as he once again ran into the hallways of great Canterlot Castle, this time however guards knew what was coming and simply stood near the walls.

Some of them even cheered for Star or Sky.

The race itself was coming to an end as Sky’s muscles were slowly starting to protest.

“Oh for Faust sake, come on my legs! If we stop now we won’t be able to run ever again.”

Star too was slowly getting tired from all of this crazy running, but he continued his chase with rage as his only motivation.

This event was being watched by a certain alicorn Princess and her captain from atop of the observatory tower.

Luna observed the race through one of the telescopes chuckling madly.

“I am glad to see that you’re amused your majesty.”

“Oh I certainly am, what do you think, who will win?”

Riddick scratched his head. “Dashing Star my Princess, he is in better physical condition when compared to Adamant Sky.”

“Interesting. I bet it’ll be a tie.”

“A tie?”

“Yes, well then, lets watch the rest of the show!”

****

Sky jumped into the royal kitchen knocking tables and chairs over as he ran, hoping that this will stop Star at least for a moment.

His plan however backfired as the said stallion unfolded his powerful wings and jumped into the air in order to dodge obstacles.

Not having any option left Sky too took off and flied as fast as he can, he knew that if the race will take them to the skies it will be just a matter of time before he will get caught, Star was after all the third greatest flyer in Equestria.

But now it was too late and he could only hope for the best as he maneuvered his way through the hallways of the Canterlot Castle.

With every second they spent in the air, Star was getting closer and closer to his target, they both were about to faint from exhaustion but none of them was about to give up, Sky however realized by now that he has no chance of escaping.

So he decided to try one last thing.

Sky landed in the middle of dining room and folded his wings, as he stopped using his muscles and started to relax he finally fully felt all the exhaustion in its true form.

He said down on his haunches and gasping for air observed as dumbfounded Star landed before him.

“Look Star, we are friends, and I know you don’t do things like that to friends but… Your sister isn’t like any other mare dude, she’s special.”

“You have time to talk until I’ll gather enough strength to beat you up.”

Sky sighed. “We are similar you know? Me and her, we have same view on the world and on the relationships.”

“Look dude, I know you would prefer it if your sister was somepony else than a stripper who likes to have a one night stands with stallions, but…”

“Get to the point.”

“Right, I really like Twinkle you know? And she likes me too, we actually wanted to try and have a relationship, an open relationship but still, it’s something, right?”

Star gasped a few more times and took one big breath, he cleared his throat and spoke again. “So you want to date Twinkle, and she wants to be with you, but the two of you will be able to bang other ponies during that relationship?”

“That’s right.”

“Sounds like a bullshit, but you’re right perhaps it’s better than just leaving her on her own.”

Sky smiled widely as he felt hope in his heart. “I’m so glad you understand! So we’re good?”

“Yeah sure, we will be good after I’ll punch you in the muzzle.”

Sky gulped. “Well I guess it can’t be helped, I broke one of the bro’s rules so...”

“Three times.”

“What? Dude, no wait that’s not how…”

SMACK

*****

“I told you they would tie!”

“To me it looked like Sky gave up and…” Riddick stopped as he saw irritated gaze of his Princess. “What I meant to say was, you were right Princess.”

“Of course I was! Now tell me, do you know if my sister is asleep?”

“It would seem so, she didn’t leave her chambers ever since beginning of today’s night.”

“Very well.” Luna said with a grin.

Riddick was once again confused but decided not to ask.

“Well then my dear Captain, I shall see you again later, pardon me now as I have some royal duties awaiting me.”

“Of course your majesty.”

Luna slowly and gracefully walked away, huge smile adorning her muzzle all the while.
