But before he could finish a guard walked in.

“B-brussles, what are you doing in the laundry room? Aren’t you supposed to be out on the tracks” said the guard, who came very close to brussles with a curious and concerned look. Upon further inspection, the two noticed that the guard was a female pegasi, and quite attractive pegasi at that. The pegasi offered brussles a comforting look.

“well, cloud, I was in the middle of… doing my patrol, when a messenger pony told me to come here, so I don’t really know what I’m doing here” brussles gave a wide smile, clearly fake.

The pegasi looked him straight in the eye with a look of disbelief. “okay, now what really happened” she said.

Brussles let out a bit of a sigh “alright… cloud drift, what I’m about to tell you must stay between you and me. I love you and trust you very much” brussles took in a breath, as cloud drift await his respons. “I am here because I’m smuggl—“ brussles was cut off by haze jr. tackling brussles “I knew you couoldn’t be trusted” he said as he pinned down brussles. “haze. She’s on our side” said brussles, under the pressure of haze body.

“Hey!” shouted cloud, seeing her coltfriend being tackled, she kicked up a powerful gale that blew haze off of brussle. Haze jr. hit the wall. Just as he locked on to her and was about to charge, brussle threw himself between cloud and haze. “everyone hold ON!” he yelled “look” he began, looking to the twins “cloud is my marefriend, she can be trusted…” brussles turned his attention to cloud “and cloud, these two are the kids of twilight, I’m here because I smuggled them in”

Cloud seemed taken back by this “smuggled them? H-how in the world did you manage not to get caught? What if you DID get caught, what if you DO get caught” Cloud asked.

All her questions and worry seemed to melt away when she was taken in brussle’s embrace. “if I do get caught.. then celestia will have my head, but that won’t happen, because by the morning, we’ll have her head.” Cloud looked in to brussles’ eyes with worry, but with curage she managed to stomach her worry, which she showed with a long kiss shared with brussles “stay save, my love” she whispered into his ear.

Silvie and haze.jr had walked to the door by this time, and soon brussles joined them. As the twins walked out, brussles looked back once more “I’ll be safe, I promise” and with that, they three left down the endless halls of the Canterlot castle

----

After walking down the halls for a good while, the three manage to stay rather undetected as silvie and haze jr managed to nab a guard armor each, so they justed used the old “new recruit on castle tour by high guard”” trick for every guard who came and asked.

“so, brussles, that girlfriend of yours in pretty cute, how’d you manage to nab her” said silvie. Brussles blushed “well… it’s a long story, let’s just say it was because of her that I’m not the stallion I once was, when I still went to school with you two all those years back.” Said brussles. “well, I’m glad for you” said silvie giving him a smile

“thanks.”

“now if we could just find celestia room already, we could be over with this already” haze jr. butted in.

“we’re almost there, her room is in the far side of the royals bedroom section of the castle, where luna, celestia sleep, as well as where queen cadence, king shining, their kids, and your very own father would go to sleep” said brussles as they turned a corner.

‘really? Our father slept here? Twilight told us he usually slept with her in the oak tree” said silvie.

“I guess that’s true, but I don’t know for sure, it’s just what I’ve been told by the royals, and other guards.” Said brussles. “by that way, what ever did you do in the everfree all those years.” Asked brussles

“it’s a long story” said haze jr.

“I’ve got time” said brussles

And so they began to tell brussles about their adventures in the everfree until they reached the royal resting hallway.

“… and that’s when he met you an hour or two ago” said silvie.

“facining, thanks for sharing, but I’m afraid this is our stop…”

The three faced down the long hallway that stretched as far as they could see, with a beautiful gold and marble door at the end of the hallway, and a silver and blue door at the opposite end of the hallway “celestia’s room is that way. Good luck”

The two proceeded…
