I sigh, it has been pretty lonely without Rebecca since she left to get back to her world. Well, it wasn't too boring, I mean the Demon King Valeri (Valério Calvados) and my ancestor's King Hero Adel (Adélaïde Grand Marnier) were telling me sorts of stories. Though Valeri would get in trouble several times for sneaking a peek in the changing area. I didn't mind as much, but Adel made a big deal from this and fired several shots at him to discipline him.
"Princess, would you like to get up to start the day?" The maid asked.
I sighed again, I was lying on my bed in my Pj's getting ready to start the day of my Princess duties. It is my job to keep everything in order; from taxes to requests, I needed a break. Though I had a choice of doing this, I chose to do it because my ancestor, Adelaid Granmanier, was my inspiration. I turn to my side and curl up to a ball as I hugged my tail. It was still fluffy from last night which was made me almost fall asleep.
"Princess, do you want to have a day off today?" The maid asked.
I grunted at this because I really didn't want to disappoint my ancestor's teachings of making a peaceful world without demons. I always was hard at work and now that I look at it, I never took a day off that was suggested by the maids. There was a reason of course, I was saving my days off so I can spend time with Rebecca when she was back here in Pastillage on Flogarde. Specifically, I saved ten days for my day off and I didn't want to spend one of them today. Though yesterday was so exhausting that I almost barely got any rest, specifically 1:00 am in the morning.
"Princess?" The maid asked again.
I needed to get a move on to get my assignments done for the day and at the same time I don't want to do it. I sat up as I pulled the covers off of me. I stretched and yawn at the same time; I ran through my fingers into my hair and it was messy. I never had bed hair a lot, but last night was an exception. I look at the maid who looked concerned, but I smiled.
'Well I guess one day won't hurt.' I thought. "I think I'll use one day to recover from last night." I said.
The maid bows and sets my clothing on my bed as she left to exit the door. At first I was confused, but I noticed these clothes were my regular clothing that I wore when I had my days off. My maid(s) knew me when I was little as they took care of me and I did the same to show respect. Getting changed, I head towards the dinning area for my breakfast, but decide to take a stroll towards Hero King Hill. When I made it to the path I was suddenly engulfed in light and all the images were blurred as I flew into mid-space.
-Connor's point of view-
-Portal opens for Dog Days-
It was thanks to Jayden's information that I came to Canterlot the day before this portal opens to my favorite show Dog Days. I heard from Jayden and Frank which made me worry a bit about what is going to happen in the future for the Dog Days world. When Shiroe and Akatsuki showed up, Frank told me that they died on that episode and were being put on another world, but the device that intervenes with Equestria and their world brought them here. Jayden gave Shiroe strategy tips, Luna talked to Akatsuki about love advice and none of it changed the story line on Earth (supposedly).
"Are they going to show up soon? I want to give them a party!" Pinkie said shaking.
Pinkie was able to come with me to greet the guest(s). I said she could come if she contained her outburst character so she wouldn't scare the guest. Becoming an Earth Pony was hard to getting used to, but it was thanks to Pinkie Pie that I learned how to walk on all fours. How to cook with my mouth, and hooves; with these basic movement skills in mind, I got back to my baking job. Mrs and Mrs. Cake were surprised how I adapted from a bipedal creature to a pony, but they later on shrug it off because they have seen what Pinkie has done. Anyway, Pinkie and I were at the beam entrance near the maze to wait on our guest.
From what I can remember about the anime that was going to the portal was several Dog Days characters. Three humans (called them hero's) and three princesses (from different countries) fight off demons and have a playful version of war.... As a game show which is brilliant. I watched all the episodes and I might know who might be coming through the portal. Speaking of which, the beam changed a different color, specifically a very light brown. Jayden told me, after punching me again in the gut for not helping Frank and the others to save him, that the beam turned green for a second then suddenly Shiroe and Akatsuki was there.
Just like Jayden said, but differently, came a human version as a Squirrel, but this was not Squirrel, it was a Princess. She landed on top of me when she appeared and we were both on the ground. My eyes were closed and when I opened them..... Pure white panties... I mentally hoof palmed when I remembered this anime was mostly ecchi (Perverted or borderline erotic).
"Ow." Said the Princess, "That was not very pleasant...."
I cleared my throat, "Um... Can you get off of me?" I try to say while trying to calm myself down.
She immediately jumped off of me and landed on her knees sitting next to me. "Oh! I am sorry...." She trailed off as she probably realized that I was a pony. I closed my eyes for the impact of screaming, but got a hug instead and it was a tight one.
"A pony!" She said tightening around my body.
'How does she know about ponies?' I ask internally.
"Um..." I gasped, "Can you please release me?"
Her tightened hug was released and I was finally able to breathe. When I got up to my hooves, she was looking around the area and was just smiling like a child in a museum. It seems that she isn't afraid of me or Pinkie who came out of no where and was in front of her. Pinkie was unable to contain herself, she was introducing herself very fast.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! Are you human?! You can't be human, you have squirrel ears and tail! Which is pretty soft by the way!" Pinkie said.
"Pinkie!" I shouted.
Pinkie, who was talking, stopped in mid air and landed next to me like a feather. I tried not to focus how she did that, but I needed to introduce ourselves.
I cleared my throat, "My name is Connor and this is Pinkie Pie. You seemed to be confuse, but I assure you that you're allowed to leave anytime."
She sighed and bowed, "My name is Princess Couvert Eschenbach Pastillage, you can call me Cou-sama. I am so glad to make your acquaintance."
Her bubbly personality reminded me of Pinkie Pie for a moment.... Almost. I smiled at bit and pointed with my hoof to the kitchen. "Would you like to have some breakfast with us?" I asked.
"Yeah! I would love to show you around and give you your first party in Equestria!" Pinkie smiled.
Pastillage or Cou-sama for short, eyes glisten with interest and she nodded confirming my question. We all made our way into the dining area and to my surprise found breakfast already set on the table. Pancakes, eggs and a pony brand cereal in a bowl, with milk in a pitcher. There was a note on the table and I looked through it.
Connor,
I am going to set the breakfasts for our guests until the portal closes. I heard from Princess Celestia that she would like to meet up with our guest. She is just interested and a bit jealous that Luna was able to meet up with the last guest. She would like Pinkie Pie, you and the guest to meet up at the royal hall as soon as you're done with breakfast.
Your friend,
Jayden
P.S. Don't you think that I forgot about the way you ditched me and not saving me in the Griffon Empire. There is a punch heading your way soon.
I sighed, 'He is still on about that?' I thought. Even though it had been two months since the incident, he still hasn't forgiven me about the whole mess. I have so far accepted over twenty punches from Ponyville, Canterlot and some anonymous areas. With those punches I felt my body, even though I am a pony, being brutally bruised and there have been several times that Pinkie and my friends defended me.
Pinkie looked concerned, "Is the meany pants Jayden going to hurt you again?"
Cou-sama just tilted her head in confusion, but I smiled, "I think so, but lets not worry about such things and have our breakfast before it gets cold."
Cou-sama, Pinkie and I discussed of what was going on and I didn't tell her anything that was important. It was the abduction of Jayden that was left out from the conversation and how we were originally human. To my surprise she took it very well; it was either that she had seen things that could of been worse or she is still a child inside (judging by appearances).
"Alright now if we're done with breakfast; its time for you Cou-sama to meet up with Princess Celestia." I said.
"Oh! Is she the ruler of the land?" She asked.
Pinkie spoke, "Not only that, she can rise and lower the sun while her sister does the same, but with the moon instead!"
"That's impressive!" She cheered.
"Well lets get a move on then. Don't want to keep the Princess waiting." I said walking towards the door.
Pinkie was hopping around Cou-sama and I while we made our way towards the Royal Hall. This made Cou and I smile with happiness, but when we approached the entrance, she stopped and we welcomed ourselves in. Cou-sama eyes glisten when she feasted her sights on the stained glass which was talking about the past heroic deeds of the Mane six, but it didn't stop there. She was in awe when she saw Celestia sitting on her throne while going through some paper work.
'Seems like she is a bit busy.' I thought. It was true though. Ever since the Griffon Empire recovered from the incident Despair caused; the Empire was continuously on their toes when and if an attack would come. Princess Celestia calmed the citizens of the Empire and it eventually went back to its normal status as a proud Empire. The King Giroghtha was not dead, but was scared because he failed his own Griffon kind. The Griffon's did forgive him overall because it wasn't his mistake, so his daughter took over the Empire for the time being.
I bowed down to the sun goddess; so did Pinkie and Cou-sama. This got Celestia's attention and she teleported her papers that were unknown for me. She told us to rise from our bowing position and when we did rise, she was right next to us. This startled me and I knocked into Pinkie Pie. We both landed to hear Celestia and Cou-sama giggling away. Blushing, Pinkie soon got on her hooves and pet my head for comfort.
"Aw. Don't worry about a thing Connie." Pinkie said.
'Connie' was a pet name that Pinkie used and I don't mind her saying it, but I needed to name her something to even out everything. We introduced Celestia to Cou-sama and Celestia introduced herself as well.
"I am so glad to meet you Cou-sama." Celestia said.
Cou smiled, "Like wise! I can't wait for a tour around this huge castle!"
"You remind me of myself from long ago." She said, but continued, "Come. Let's give Cou-sama the tour and show her a great time before she has to return home."
With that Pinkie said a fast 'Alright!' and disappeared like Speedy Gonzales. Cou-sama and Celestia were confused when she suddenly was gone. 'She must be getting ready for that party she promised.' I thought.
"Don't worry about Pinkie, she is just doing her thing." I said.
Cou-sama tilted her head again, but Celestia smiled as if she knew what was coming very soon. I shook my head internally and walked with Celestia, who was telling the history of Equestria. I knew some parts about the history, but she gave me some details that I never knew. Cou-sama had her eyes all in attention and was listening very carefully about what happened in Equestria. Then she mentioned when we were human....
She gasped, "Wait! I thought you were first ponies!"
I sighed in defeat, 'I can't hold it in any longer.' I thought. "Yes and I'm sorry, but it was only to convince you that this world is also connected to ours." I stated.
She walked around my body and was glaring at me the whole time. "You don't seem human." She said.
I face hoofed, "No, but we transformed into ponies due to a defense magical body mechanism."
"Ahhhh." She said.
Celestia cleared her throat that got our attention, "I believe it is time to tell the full truth, in order not to lose our trust. Follow me to the library."
As we headed to the Canterlot Library; Cou-sama was still staring at me. Even though I said I was sorry, but I just hung my head. It was weird for me, being guilty for not telling the truth.... I think Jayden's punches are getting to my head and causing brain damage. Or was it me just changing to the way ponies think in Equestria? That one may be it, but I highly doubt it.
When we made it to the Library, Cou-sama was immediately gone from the entrance to the wall of books. She picked out the ones she thought that was interesting, but I stopped her.
"You know Princess Celestia has already read these." I said.
She puffed out her cheeks, "Why should I believe you?"
I sighed, "Why should you believe me? Hmmm... How about she has been here longer than anypony has and looks older than your Hero in Pastillage." I look at Celestia and continued, "No offense."
She smiled, "None taken."
Cou-sama put away the books she had, crossed her arms and sighed out a unsatisfied grunt. This was going to be sometime before she trusts me and she is meant to be here for one day. Celestia led us to the lounge in the library and we sat down on three different chairs to talk about everything. From this world connecting to ours and Cou-sama's, how my friends and I were originally human, she also explained the Griffon incident to which made me nervous and finally how Frank was able to come to this world by defeating Chrysalis.
"A lot has happened right?" Cou asked.
Celestia nodded, "Connor wasn't informed of what to tell you when you or someone else came into this world. I hope you can forgive him."
Cou-sama looks at me and I scratch my head, looking in another direction. I slowly move my eyes towards her face and she was slightly smiling.
"Oh how can I not forgive you." She said.
I sighed and put my hoof towards her, "Friends?"
She got her hand to my hoof and shook it, "Friends." She said as her tail twitched with happiness. To which lead to this question, "I was wondering about something that was on my mind." Celestia stated.
"What's that?" Cou-sama asked.
"How do you keep your tail so fluffy?" She asked.
"Well I get my tail combed, washed, and I use a bit of lotion to keep it all fluffy to last all night." She said, but continued, "How do you keep your mane and tail to flow like that?"
There was an unexpected question with another question and how she answered it really did surprise Cou and I.
"Magic." was all she said and we both fell on our backs anime style.
"Come on!" We both said and Celestia stuck out her tongue in response. "Its a secret." She said.
Cou-sama and I looked at each other then to Celestia. There was silence, but Cou just started to laugh and so did Celestia. I didn't get it, but Cou-sama suddenly started to tickle my tummy and I was laughing because I was ticklish. After the tickle scandal I had a sudden sense of Pinkie shiver down my spine. Ever since I started to date Pinkie, I started to act like her in a sense. How she is feeling, what she is doing and for some reason when to come to her when she is done with something... Am I going insane or am I gaining Pinkie's sense?
"I think Pinkie is waiting for us." I said.
Celestia calmed herself down and nodded, "Let's not keep her waiting."
We made our way towards the party room where we had our celebration of the return of Jayden. The party room was dark, but when the lights turned on, by Celestia's magic, the curtains were pulled out from the window and Cou-sama was in awe. The party was a small one, but very detailed. There was a little section, between two pillars decorated with streamers, where we had the table of food before, but was replaced with a cake saying 'Welcome to Equestria'.
"Pinkie you work fast!" Cou-sama asked excitedly.
"Well I hid the extra party streamers and supplies in Jayden's closet. Though there was an incident when I was trying to get the stuff." She said.
-Pinkie's point of view-
"La la la la la la!!" I sang while skipping towards the room.
'Mister meany pants better not be there.' I thought.
I opened the door to see Jayden on his desk examining the closet that was bulging. I sneaked around the corner when entering and pulled a lever that opened the door without the door knob to open it. Jayden yells when the barrage of different items topple on top of him. I just picked up the party supplies that I needed and left Jayden there.
-Connor's point of view-
The small party was successful and Cou-sama enjoyed every bit of it. Even though it was a party of three because Celestia had to go back to deal with more political issues. When everybody was finished with their cakes, Cou-sama really needed to head back home to get her duties done. We gladly accepted it and made our way towards the beam in the maze. It was continuously turning into the color of light brown. It was the same color I saw before Cou-sama showed up as a guest. We said our goodbyes and I felt a little sad, but Cou-sama is a princess of her country and I should be happy that she is going back with her friends.
Though before she could get through the portal; she turns around quick comes to me and pecks my cheek. Pinkie was gasping in jealousy as Cou-sama went through the portal saying, "Good bye friends!"
I was stunned when she went through the beam and I turn to Pinkie who was angry at me, but then kissed me on the lips.
"You did a great job taking care of Cou-sama. I have a surprise for you when we get back to Sugarcube corner." Pinkie said while whipping her tail around my face.
I turned my head behind me to see that she was walking away seductively towards the castle. This made me more confused, but I just couldn't get these words out of my head.
'Humina humina humina....' I thought. This was going to be an interesting night for the both of us.
