With the thoughts of what Celestia had said and the apparent trip to Cloudsdale still a few days away I finally found a reason to take Rainbow Dash into Canterlot late. I had though of something like a romantic dinner or watching some sort of play. But the dinner could be done in Ponyville and from a quick talk with Diamond a lot of the plays were just bastardised versions of Equestrian history. Considering the ponies seemed such peaceful creatures a lot of their plays focused on war and the age of darkness that happened around the time Princess Luna went full emo. Hell one of the plays, considered to be the best, was about Luna's fall and supposedly balanced the whole ideal so both Celestia and Luna were technically the villains and heroes. Depending on whose point of view that scene in the play portrayed. I was thinking on watching that with her or even something else but Dash didn't seem to be a play kinda girl and frankly I didn't want to see any theatre shit anyway, especially with Diamond the Historian who could tell me what each play was about and what it actually meant in pony history.
I very quickly learnt that Equestria was basically a medieval America, during the Age of Darkness ponykind faced many threats, as did other civilized people; Horses, Cats, Dogs at the time. There was a huge war between one group of races and another. Dogs and Cats fighting together and the Horses of the world helping the fight against the Griffons, Naga and some race called the Fel. The war went horribly for everyone involved until Equestria joined and helped end the war. Diamond got very quiet about how they did this. Anyway, Equestria have ever since been straggling to find a real adversary and have always made themselves out as the weakened force even though they dominated in the Age of Darkness. Hell Equestrian history seems just as bloody and long as anyone's on Earth.

Anyway back to the day I found a date idea for me and Dash. She had mentioned a group of ponies named the Wonderbolts a lot and strived to join and be one in every way she could. Which I found adorable. Hell it was why she wanted to go to Cloudsdale to join some young-but-not-quite fliers thing. So I was wondering around Ponyville on some shitty errand for Twilight because she ran out of quills and couldn't be bothered to grow her own damn wings or just get a bird as a pet. So wondering through Ponyville trying to find the quill shop that I swear moves whenever I need it same just disappears from Ponyville into I've just about giving up looking for it. I suddenly saw a poster on one of the background shops advertising Wonderbolts race happening a couple days before Cloudsdale. Which I suppose made sense. After a quick run back to the library, a quick grabbing of Spike and a quick letter to Celestia I quickly waited for a quick ride via chariot to Canterlot. I quickly found directions to the stadium the Wonderbolts were going to be playing in and made my way over at a normal pace. Then booked tickets for Dash and I and back home I went, without even stopping in to say hi to Celestia, since I knew where that conversation would probably take me.

So back I went to Ponyville to get ready for a date, considering the Wonderbolts were meant to be such a big thing I was surprised that I managed to bag tickets for that day but maybe the fact I was an alien or was escorted to the stadium by royal guards because I suck at directions might have helped me get them. Plus I'd grabbed Spiritus before going out today just to wear it as well as a couple grenades so I could at least pretend to look cool. For someone who doesn't want to be a warrior I sure as hell walk around like one. Well my walk style is shit and nothing close to a veteran, my entire outlook resembled a drunk more than a solider though.

I had started talking with the two fliers that (as I had thought) flew between Ponyville and Canterlot, they seemed like pretty awesome people. A chick and a dude with the names Sunflower Daze and Grumble, the chick had the more girlish name. They apparently didn't get to fly much since nobody goes to Ponyville and most just take the train or fly in themselves, I was bringing in loads of business and bonuses for them and they honestly sounded full of joy, complete opposite to Diamond and more stable unlike Mirrors. Sunflower spoke more, and Grumble did follow his namesake and muttered a lot, but he still had the aurora of someone happy. It was a nice feeling talking to them and would be going into Canterlot more via chariot just to talk to these two. The whole talk was just small talk and my history, the excuse they gave for their own personal history was that they were guards and had basically the same thing: started off as a normal pony, joined the ranks, got put into guard duty and now wish for more. Diamond didn't seem that way, but Diamond was pretty pissed he was stuck in some backwater joint guarding me. I told them a lot about PinkFest and they told me they would try and make it for next year. Which was pretty awesome. I had a feeling PinkFest was going to be huge next year, and it was pretty big last time. Bigger bands, bigger crowds, better alcohol, hopefully sex and drugs too.

Anyway, Dash was weirdly waiting for me when the chariot landed, i hadn't seen her fly in or anything but she was just standing behind the chariot when I turned around to get off with a stupid grin on her face. I smiled at her and thanked the two drivers before they pissed off back to Canterlot.

"Sup Dashie. Guess where I've been?" I asked, smiling, holding the tickets behind my back with one hand and holding my sword hilt with the other. So I looked more 'at ease' or whatever rather than hiding something.

"Oh gee I dunno Aron. Applejack's farm?" Rainbow Dash asked back, rolling her eyes. I just laughed slightly.

"Well if I'm going to get a sarcastic answer I'll just go ask someone else to go see the Wonderbolts in Canterlot tonight. Maybe Rarity." As soon as I said that Rainbow jumped on me, throwing me onto the ground. She actually fucking growled as well.

"Don't. You. Dare." She muttered. I winked and licked her nose. She started giggling at that and I ended up tickling her side, just to see what would happen. Turns out that she is stupidly ticklish. "S-sto-Stop!" She shouted through laughs. I ended up rolling Dash over and laying on top of her. She was still having cute spasms even after I stopped and gently punching me with one of her hooves in a really shitty attempt to get me off her. I just stayed laying on her for a second with what was most likely a stupid grin on my face. Dash likewise had a stupid grin on her face.

"So. Tickets?" She muttered after a pause, I was still on top of her. I had no intention of getting off.

"Yeah, Canterlot Wonderbolts, tonight at six til eight. We're staying overnight at the castle."

"You got us tickets for the Wonderbolts and we're staying in the castle!" Dash shouted from under me. She nearly threw me off.

"Yeah tickets were easy enough to get, surprised it wasn't fully booked with how much you've been talking about them. Being in Canterlot was pretty easy as well, being an alien and everything. Celestia has given me pretty much free rein and free board in the castle." To make me feel like I'm trusted over the fact I'm welcomed or anything like that. But I kept that to myself.

"Aron. You're awesome." Rainbow muttered and kissed me.

"Best boyfriend ever?" I asked, winking. She rolled her eyes and just kissed me again. After a pause I started to kiss back and we made out for a while on the outskirts of Ponyville. A couple ponies walked past from quick glances up when we took a breath but nobody said anything. After a second she pulled back, smiled and then moved closer to me and put a hoof around my neck and actually bit her lip with an eager look in her eye. An idiot could've felt the heat between us, radiating, giving off a hot glow. She pressed her mouth against my own and started to kiss me with renewed vigor. For a second my brain completely shut down, sure we'd kissed before but this. This felt different, the pure ecstasy of our shape-shifting mouths swirling and puckering with each delicious smack of our lips. She squeezed me with another hoof and i hugged back, holding tight. I only ever had time for quick breaths through my nose. It was stressful trying to breath but I didn't want to stop this for anything. Let alone something as pathetic as breathing. Though I could hear Dash struggling the same and breathing through her nose adorably. I could feel sweat on my brow forming and cooling and the hairs on my skin stood up wishing to shoot into space. Her hoof behind my neck pulled me even closer trying to form us into one person pushing my head against hers. Her hoof started rubbing against my hair whilst my fingers started tracing her godly curves and horse body. The make out session lasted a good while and I completely lost track of time whilst we made out. Eventually though it was her who let go and pulled back, our mouths were connected by a single stream of saliva and Dash was blushing up a storm. I probably was as well to be fair on her.

"Hey. Aron." Dash started to say, her voice was quiet and calm. "Do you wanna take this to my pla-"

"Hey Aron! Rainbow Dash!" Twilight called from behind us somewhere." Dash shot up, pushing me off onto the ground, she put a lot of force behind that just to stand up for her friend. I glared at her for a second, pocketed the two tickets and stood up. Dusting myself off and standing next to Twilight.

"Hey Twilight, what's up?" Rainbow Dash asked casually.

"Not much, when did you get back Aron?" She asked, looking to me.

"Fuck knows, about ten, twenty minutes ago. Why?"

"No reason. Just went for a walk and found you out here. Wondering what you had planned for the day."

"Not reorganising your library. I got me and Dashie tickets to a Wonderbolt derby today so gotta go to that eventually. Was probs gonna hang with either Diamond or Dash until we had to go." She nodded and smiled.

"Have fun, staying at the castle?"

"Yeah, Celestia wants me to meet Luna and as much as I appreciate your library the castle is fucking great."

"Plus we will have the same room." Dash muttered. I smiled but didn't reply.

"So er, what were you two doing?" Twilight asked, Dash was still blushing and I probably looked a mess.

"I actually need to talk to you Twi." Dash muttered, then looked at me and blushed more.

"Oh?"

"Do you, do you know a cloud walking spell?" Dash said, she sounded unsure about that. She was so gonna ask me to go to her house. Hot.

"I do yes, do you need it-" Twilight looked at me. "-now?"

"No. Just something to keep in mind." Rainbow muttered, obviously disappointed.

"Alright, well I'll see you later, I will go carry on with my walk." Twilight muttered after a pause, then trotted off. Me and Dash shared a glance.

"Fucking Twilight." Rainbow muttered under her breath.

"Don't swear." I said, half laughing. She stuck her tongue out at me.

"So er, how are we getting to Canterlot?" Dash asked.

"Chariot most likely, just gotta send a message to Celestia and one gets here within an hour or so. The drivers are pretty cool. Sunflower and Grumble."

"You have been talking to ponies haven't you."

"Guess so, don't actually mean to. Jus' happens ya know?"

"Guess so. But you've been here near on two months and have met Glaze, got a marefriend, seen one End-Of-The-World incident, met Celestia on multiple occasions, have a meeting planned with Prncess Luna and Celestia knows what else."

"Yep. What's the problem?"

"No problem. Just you've done more than most ponies do their whole lives."

"Now calm down Dashie, I wouldn't go nearly that far. I've just been in the right place at the right time. Plus being human gives me some perks. I just need to actually make a name for myself now and I'll actually be known."

"How would you do that?" She asked, she sounded worried. Rightly so.

"No idea, probably become an inventor. I'll research as much shit as I can when and if I go back to Earth for the gun plans and see what comes from that."

"So you won't become a solider?"

"I'd have thought you would've liked a military life, the adventure and action and all that shit." She paused.

"My dad was in the military." She muttered.

"He is a good man then." I replied quickly, already regretting my choice of words.

"Was." Yep. I immediately internally face palmed and hugged her, she shrugged me off.

"I'm sorry Dash." She looked away.

"It's not your fault. You couldn't have known." She trailed of a bit.

"Wanna. Talk about it?" I asked carefully. She looked at me with red eyes.

"No." She muttered after a pause.

"Alright." There was a silence for a second before I continued. "I don't want to be a solider Dash."

"But?" She muttered, she was rubbing one of her front hooves slowly and looking down slightly. i really struck a nerve.

"No buts Dash. I don't want that life. I need to do something with my life but I never want to be a warrior. I doubt I could ever kill if I tried." She looked up finally and looked into my eyes, I looked in hers. "Believe me Dash, I've seen war and have no intention of going back."

"I know Aron. I just don't want to lose you."

"Come on now, don't get soppy on me." She smiled slightly and after a pause nodded and smiled.

"I'll see you tonight Aron, Twilight's?" She asked. I nodded, after a quick hug and kiss she flew off. Leaving me in the middle of nowhere. I started walking back to the library.

The time for mine and Dash's date got here pretty quickly, Dash turned up about twenty minutes before we were scheduled to leave. Her hair was curved quite a lot and looked slightly thicker than it normally was, she actually wore a dress this time. She had an orange vest thing on and a back section that was purple with a piece of pale yellow at the bottom of it. She also wore that necklace I gave her and had some makeup on, not much. Just some blush and some weak lipstick. I had the most normal of tops on and tried to look somewhat smart. I really needed some decent clothes. But the only issue I had was that I'd have to go see Rarity for clothes. And fuck Rarity.

"Wow Dash. Back at it again with being beautiful." I said when Dash walked in, Twilight was with her and just face hoofed.

"What?" She asked.

"Dash." I paused. "You're fucking beautiful." I said, she smiled and blushed. Twilight still looked done.

"You have such a way with words Aron." Twilight muttered. I winked at her and she glared at me.

"Whatevs. Chariot should be here soon." I said. Dash rushed to the door and started flapping her wings out. She looked like a dog.

"Soon? How soon? Wonderbolts are on in two hours! Hurry up Aron." I laughed slightly and followed her to the door.

"Bye Twilight. Bye Spike." I said waving to the three ponies standing before me. Diamond just smiled slightly and rolled his eyes. I winked at him as I walked out.

"Why are you so mean to Diamond?" Dash asked as soon as we left. The chariot was already down and the two drivers were sitting quietly
looking around the town at the ponies wondering seemingly aimlessly.

"I'm not being mean to him. It's just banter. I don't hurt his feelings. Just a joke"

"You don't make it out like it's a joke Aron."

"Trust me Dash, it is. Though I'll ease up if that makes you feel better." I said as we got on the chariot. I instinctively grabbed onto the railing and Dash latched onto my arm.

"Lovely evening today sir." Grumble declared looking to me. That threw me off for a second but I caught myself.

"Been a pretty lovely day honestly." I replied. The horse nodded and looked away, the two Pegasi shared a look and began to gallop forward, spreading their wings and taking off. They didn't need to use much of a runway and was always pretty damn impressed when they took off. Though I'd see Dash take off from the ground so I just figured plan physics and magical talking pony flier physics was different.

"You're making a habit of this Aron. A mare might think you missed us." Sunflower said when we were in the air, Ponyville getting smaller and the Everfree showing the full expanse it had to offer.

"Well me and Dashie need to get into Canterlot, for that Wonderbolt show." I exclaimed. Sunflower looked back so quickly I thought she had snapped her neck. I actually jumped a bit.

"This is your marefriend Dash?" Sunflower asked quickly, and loudly. Huh.

"Yeah, she's great." I replied. I looked to named pony who was blushing slightly.

"I'm the fastest flier in Equestria!" Dash declared. The two guards shared a look and smiled.

"Fastest eh?" Grumble said, looking back at us.

"Sexiest pony too." I muttered, Grumble rolled his eyes but didn't say anything to that.

"Were you a mare killer where you came from Aron?" Sunshine asked suddenly. I was taken aback by that quite a bit, not expecting that question.

"He had social anxiety." Dash replied. I flinched slightly at that and glared at her, but at the same time I didn't overly care. I probably would've said the same thing eventually anyway.

"Social. What?" Grumble asked.

"Social Anxiety, means I was shy and a little bitch about it." I explained.

"Was?" Sunflower asked.

"Yeah, that PinkFest thing I was telling you guys about broke it. Can openly talk a lot more. Still kinda shy though."

"Huh. PinkFest sounds pretty legendary." Grumble said.

"Yeah it really was. I told y'all you should go to it. I'm going to be telling sunbu- Celestia about the party. So will probably need a lift to Canterlot when the party is closer."

"Alright. Thank you sir." Grumble said.

"Diamond used to call me sir. I like to think I beat that out of him." I claimed, smiling slightly. Dash punched me and I flinched at the feeling.

"Don't be mean." Dash commanded. Sunflower giggled slightly.

"Alright alright. Anyway Diamond used to call me sir. How come you guys are?" I asked.

"Force of habit." Grumble replied quickly.

"What he means is that we've been trained to give respect to creatures that are... different to ponies. And you're pretty different to ponies. No offence." Sunflower added. I nodded.

"Yeah that makes sense. Bit weird but fuck politics." I said.

"Well most who come to Canterlot or Equestria are diplomats." Grumble claimed.

"Well as cool as it is to be called sir or whatever I'll say the same thing I said to Diamond: don't call me sir or anything like that til I've actually earned it."

"You expect to 'earn' it?" Sunflower asked.

"Gods no." I replied quickly. Then thought back on Canterlot and got a random thought come up. "How come neither of you joined the Lunar guard?"

"Convenience for me. Probably the same for Grumble. Any time I'm not ferrying ponies between Canterlot and Ponyville my guard route is usually during the day. I don't have to do much but the bits I do have to do are during day time hours mostly. I had a nap last time you came to Canterlot between ferryings." Sunflower answered.

"Ferryings isn't a word Sunflower." Grumble said, the named Pegasus shrugged as she flapped her wings. "But she is right. It's more convenience. I don't think any guard cares more for either Princess. Even with Princess Luna's long absence. Some might have a stronger opinion to one but nopony will mention it."

"Huh, would've thought y'all would've all had a preference. What about that Cadance chick. She got a guard?" The two fliers looked back to me for a second with pure confusion on their faces.

"Surprised you even know of Princess Cadance." Grumble said quietly. I shrugged. "Well she isn't deemed... Important, enough for her to require her own guard. Whenever she is sent of for diplomatic missions a small squad is sent with her but they are, and will continue to be, volunteers. So either Lunar or Solar guard."

"Are all the Alicorns chicks then? Sorry, mares."

"Well there are rumours of Alicorns. One belief is that Celestia and Luna's mother was an Alicorn but has left this plain of existence. There are also rumours of a male Alicorn living in a town called Gift. But both are just rumours." Grumble answered.

"What like dead?"

"Again it's just rumours. There is a major magical theory about a thing called The Multiverse, the theories are all over the place. But many think that the Princess Mother left this dimension for one reason or another."

"A'right. Makes sense I guess. I think Earth had a theory like that. I'd say that me being here proves it but I'm pretty sure Celestia would share knowledge of a Multiverse if she had the knowledge. What about this male Alicorn?" I wasn't going to mention that Celestia was keeping secrets that was painfully obvious to me, she probably did know a lot she isn't sharing with researchers.

"Rumours, we haven't heard enough to ever send a guard squad out there. Gift is pretty far out, right on the borders or Equestria with the Badlands. Even further out than Appleloosa. Supposedly the stallion doesn't even have any powers. Can't use his wings or horn." It was Sunflower who answered that time.

"Dunno where Appleloosa is. I know where Canterlot, Ponyville, The Everfree, and Everfree Central is."

"Huh, surprised you haven't gone any further. You should go to Manehatten one day. Great mage college and the creature zoo is fun too." Sunflower said.

"Been told that by Diamond already. Going to Cloudsdale soon. Dunno when though." I replied, and looked to Dash, she was just staring at me with a cute smile and seemed a million miles away. She flinched and shook her head a bit when she noticed me looking back. "Cloudsdale. When?" I asked. She smiled deeper.

"Two days Aron." Dash answered. I kissed her on the nose and turned around to talk to the guards again.

"There ya go. Going off to Cloudsdale in a couple days. No idea how we are getting there, presume chariot or train then chariot."

"Aron you do know Cloudsdale is made of, well... Clouds right?" Sunflower asked.

"Yes, hence the chariot thing. And no I can't walk on clouds. I'm going to be getting a spell from a unicorn friend so I can walk on clouds." When Twilight had been looking up the spell she also happened to find one where the user would actually get a pair of wings. The book didn't say what kind of wings, like feathered wings or stupid butterfly wings or something. It could have been nice to actually fly but Twilight said it looked difficult so I just trusted her and suggested the walking on instead.
Not that I wanted to fly or anything.

"Pretty cool, magic can be amazing sometimes."

"You won't see me disagreeing with that. Humans don't have magic but after my time here, damn I wish we did."

"Don't have wings either." Dash said from behind me.

"No. We had to survive through brains and inventions. Hopefully going to be bringing some over one day."

"Hold on you two. Coming in for our landing." Sunflower suddenly said, I looked past the two Pegasi and saw we were indeed approaching Canterlot pretty quickly, the trip seemed like it had taken much less time than it normally did but I didn't complain.

We came in for landing and disembarked. I hadn't brought anything with me besides a few bits for emergency and the tickets to the Wonderbolts thing. So I didn't tip the two Pegasi, I wasn't even sure if I was allowed to tip and didn't ask. We still had a while to kill before the show so I started walking towards the throne room.

"So Dash whatcha wanna do til the show?" I asked.

"Ohhh I have some ideas." Dash replied with a menacing grin, just as we walked past a guard. "I'm happy to hang here. There a sitting room or something?"

"I can probably get my room if we go say hi to Celestia, can go there and make out for like half an hour if you want?" I asked her. She flinched.

"YES!" She practically shouted. "I mean, yeah sure." She added. Hot.

"Alright. I gotta talk to Princess Luna after dinner so will be a bit late to bed, but you'll see where we are staying in a bit."

"Why can't I come with you?" I paused at that.

"Because Dashie, as much as I'd love for you to be there, especially since Luna is a new person and all. But I don't know if this is going to be private or anything."

"Why would it be private?"

"No idea, but I don't know the Princesses enough for me to immediately know if it will be private or not."

"Alright. I trust you Aron."

"Good. I ain't gonna run off with another girl. Let alone one I've just met. Hell I'll never leave you Dash. You are stupidly out of my league to begin with."

"Le- league?"

"You're too hot for me. Too cool. All that shit. Surprised you went for me." Dash looked sad and blushed, clearly conflicted as to her feelings.

"Well. Er, thanks for saying that." I could tell she wanted to think it was sweet, but couldn't bring herself to pick one emotion. I may have upset her.

We got to the throne room with no other issues, the doors were closed as usual and two pony guards stood outside the double doors.

"Oh shit, we might see the Lunar guard later." I exclaimed. One guard was walking to the door to open it and I looked to the other. "When does the guard change? For the Night guards?" The guard just looked at me. "Whatevs I'll ask Celestia. Fucking people." I muttered once the door was open. The named Goddess was sitting on her throne as usual looking bored.

"Oh hello Aron. Nice of you to come by." Celestia welcomed.

"Sup 'Tia, got me and Dashie tickets to the Wonderbolts tonight so figured we'd stay over, I'd meet Luna and then you can stop bugging me about it."

"I don't bug you about meeting my sister. Also, Dashie?"

"If you say so. When she awake? Yes Dashie, I gave my girlfriend a pet name."

"Around dinner time, I presume you will be dining with us? Do you have one for him?" Celestia looked to Dash for that second question. I answered first.

"Yes. Didn't bring much so will have to leech off Canterlot supplies. No she doesn't. Not much you can do with Aron."

"You are always welcome here. We have some chicken in as well. Maybe if you hadn't picked Aron as your name she could find an easier one." Dash flinched at that bit.

"Nice, almost as if you planned it. Like say a royal guard hired to spy on me told you I was coming. Aron is my name Celestia."

"What's wrong, you seem tense?"

"Nah just tired, haven't done much today besides travel so was pretty bored too." Celestia nodded at that.

"You should try being a Princess." She muttered, I looked down at myself.

"I'll pass." I said, Celestia smiled slightly.

"Your room is now ready, would you like a room... Dash?"

"Rainbow Dash Princess, and no thanks. I'll stay with Aron if that's okay."

"Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash, you're one of the Elements of Harmony are you not?"

"Yes Princess. Loyalty."

"Good. Do you remember the way to your room Aron?"

"Kinda. Just post a guard outside it. I'll figure it out from there." Celestia rolled her eyes.

"Stallions."

"I'm no stallion. I'm human baby, my logic is even more backwards than stallions." She rolled her eyes again.

"Well have fun tonight you two. I'll talk to you both later." Celestia said. I nodded and started to walk out. Dash bowed to the Princess and followed me. How do I know she bowed when I'd already turned away? Well:

"Why don't you give respect to the Princess? Like bowing or calling her Princess?" Dash asked as soon as we left the throne room. I made a left down the corridor we had come down to begin with.

"Because she wants to look more like a friend, or mother, to people than a Princess. I give her my own subtle respect."

"That may be true but that didn't look like respect, that looked like you were talking to Diamond. And you shouldn't talk to them like you do!"

"Dash, calm." I muttered and grabbed the arch of my nose. "If they didn't like how I talked they would probs say something. Especially Celestia." She was silent for a second, long enough for me to bank right and walk down a corridor towards a positioned guard.

"Alright you're right." Dash said.

"I'll try and ease off but it's just how I talk." I explained. Then stopped in front of the guard.

"Sir Aron? Your room." The guard grunted. Then opened the door with magic, making his horn and the door glow a sickly green.

"Yeah cheers." I said and walked in, Dash followed. It looked exactly like it had done every other time I had walked in here. I walked straight to the bed and sat down. Dash shut the door and trotted over, swaying her butt nicely with a cute smile.

"So about that make out session?" She asked, winking. I rolled my eyes with a smile and crawled onto the bed more, she slowly trotted over and climbed up onto the bed with me. Then eventually climbed onto me.

"Well Dashie. Let's have some fun."

Our make out session lasted much longer than I expected but didn't ever want it to stop. We started groping at, bits after a while and my hand was pretty soaked by the time we finished. But nothing major or worth mentioning all that much. We walked out about 45 minutes later and found a lack of guard at our door. Thank fuck. Dash was walking funny and I very deliberately didn't wash my hand before we left so we walked down the halls of Canterlot Castle totally smelling of sex. Dash's hair was a total mess and her dress wasn't much better. I was just glad she was wearing a dress.

We made our way through Canterlot and got a street guard to lead us to the stadium. We entered the stadium and sat with no issues. I spotted a couple ponies walking around with 'stadium treats': popcorn and the like. I threw an arm up to get the attention of the popcorn bloke and after what looked like him holding back a vomit he started trotting towards us. I had deliberately picked some seats near the exit, so I had a bit more leg room and nobody was behind me bitching about me being too tall. It was kind of in an awkward spot but I had a slab of concrete behind me that lead up to the VIP area so I could lean on that instead of having to sit forward on the shitty wood benches the stadium had. The track itself looked like a regular running track but there was a huge swimming pool in the middle and a load of cloud formations above it with some hoops and benches sitting on them, a couple ponies were flying around or walking around on the clouds moving shit around. We had gotten to the stadium as it had opened and the place was filling up pretty damn fast. Ponies of all sorts of shapes and sizes were filling up the stands. I had been crowd surfing when I suddenly spotted a familiar pony. I smiled as soon as I was sure it was who I thought it was and stood up.

"Hey Dash, grab the popcorn. I'll be right back." I ordered, she grabbed my top quickly.

"Where you going?" She asked. God she looked hot flustered.

"I promised you something a while ago. I'm now going to complete that promise." I said, she looked confused for a second but eventually just let me go. I turned around and tried to spot the Pegasus again. I managed quickly considering the ocean of colours and she seemed to be making her way to the VIP box, which was convenient for me since an entrance was nearby. I didn't want to risk my target fucking off though so just started making my way through the crowd. I had a couple complains but just started flipping ponies off as I went. I managed to reach my target only because she got stopped for autographs. I managed to make my way through the small crowd and was next to Glaze.

"Sup Glaze." I said. The named pony was muttered to the pony in front of her and a couple gasped when they saw me. Eventually the Pegasus turned to face me.

"Who do you want it made out t- Oh hi Aron. Please save me." Glaze said, the fear increased a lot when she finally noticed me. I cracked my knuckles and looked at the closest pony.

"Come on, fuck off. Don't make me go violent." I grunted. I was completely unarmed at this, though the message went through and the pony ran off, the others muttered curses at me and walked off.

"Wow that worked. Thanks Aron. How can I repay you?" Glaze asked, her voice was adorable.

"Well you could come with me and help me repay a promise I gave to my girlfriend." I suggested.

"Girlfriend?" Glaze asked confused. I grunted and huffed out some air.

"Mare. Friend. We came to watch the Wonderbolts. Obviously, but I tried to catch you before you went into the VIP area."

"Well you needn't rush for little ol' me. I have plenty of fans."

"Hey if I didn't rush you would still be signing signatures and talking to people you don't know."

"What is your marefriend going to want to do?" She asked clearly done. I paused.

"Good point, would you mind?"

"Anything for you Aron, you're exotic, and haven't swarmed over me due to my fame."

"I knew some famous people back on Earth, or at least what I'd consider famous. You are just normal people with power honestly. Yes I respect the famous and all, but we all bleed the same."

"That is really weird, and poetic."

"Yeah guess so."

"Alright so were you guys sitting?" I looked into the ever-growing crowd and found Rainbow Dash looking over to me with a confused and somewhat sad look. I put a hand over my eyes to see better just to make sure it was indeed her. Then pointed in her general direction.

"Over there. Shall we?" I asked, putting my arm out. Glaze rolled her eyes.

"You're too tall for me."

"Well you're too short anyway."

"You seem. More confident than when we last met."

"Yeah, after we met and I was back in Ponyville there was a huge town wide party widely known as PinkFest. I got beyond drunk, danced with hoes, made out with ponies and all sorts of crap. It broke my anxiety."

"Ponyville you say? I've heard rumours about that. Couple big names went, one next year right?"

"Absolutely. A mare called Pinkie Pie is hosting, talk to her closer to the time if you're interested. I'd love you to be there."

"Awwh aren't you a gentlecolt."

"Gods no. I'm an asshole. But would still be pretty awesome if you came."

"What were the numbers like this year?"

"Well considering people were told literally that day, the whole town of Ponyville went. I think about 2000 odd. Maybe less. Can't remember who was playing. I didn't really care all that much who played. I was there for the alcohol."

"Well in that case I better go just so you can appreciate some real music." I rolled my eyes and started leading us over to Dash.

"Hey I liked the music, and danced to a lot. But was so drunk I didn't register it. Only reason I remembered any of it was because I was under a spell so I remembered. Though the next day... Christ I don't want to think about it."

"I've tried that spell before. I quit drinking after that."

"Quit quit drinking or the thing every alcoholic says during a hangover?"

"More on the second, but with my line of work I can't afford to be drunk. Maybe at PinkFest."

"Awesome. Well anyway. Rainbow Dash, this is-." I began, Dash shut up and squealed almost as loudly as when we were hugging earlier. Though this one was much cuter than the previous one.

"Glaze!" Dash shouted. Then looked to me. "You did meet her!" She added.

"Well yeah, why would I li-."

"I don't have anything for you to sign." Dash exclaimed looking over her body, her dress was still a mess.

"It's okay Rainbow Dash. I'll be going to PinkFest next year, I promise I'll give you one then okay?" Glaze said, her wings had drooped a little and she had a hoof out in what looked like a defensive move. I put a hand on Dash's shoulder and she began to calm down from her adorable thrashing thing.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm your biggest fan!"

"Hehe." Glaze muttered. How many people have told her that then.

"Thank you Glaze. I'll see you in July then. Ponyville remember. I know a lot of the places here are horse puns so don't forget." I said, Glaze smiled suddenly and looked visibly relaxed.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to go to Ponyton or something." Glaze turned to leave.

"Hey just quick question." I asked, she turned back. "You ever been to Gift?" Glaze looked lost for a second before nodding.

"Yeah, strange town. Their slogan is 'don't look a Gift horse in the mouth'." I face palmed.

"Fuckin-." I paused. "Whatever. Did you see a male Alicorn?" She looked lost again.

"No. Don't think so. Though I'd figure I would have remembered something like that, what's this about?"

"Eh, rumours. Just learning more of the world." Glaze shrugged.

"Alright. I'll see you around Aron, nice meeting you Rainbow Dash. Cute mane you have." She said and walked off. I sat down next to Dash and was handed a tube of popcorn much larger than what I was used too on Earth. Buttered too. I liked it here.

With all the run up to the show and the amazingly orgasmic popcorn the show itself was crap. I wasn't much for racing on Earth but it was worse here. Half a dozen ponies flying around shitting out black clouds going round in circles constantly. I found myself blanked out for most of the show but Dash enjoyed herself and she was adorable when she was cheering and jumping around. The show ended after a couple hours and the sun was beginning to set when we found our way back to the castle. Dash didn't shut up about the show the whole trip and I managed to hold a conversation enough to pretend I knew what had happened. I wasn't all that excited for Dash to join the Wonderbolts. Since I'd go to all her shows and all she would do was fly round in circles. They barely used the obstacles too.

Turns out Spitfire was the bestest Wonderbolt, and I presumed they were the leader. Being the best and all. I managed to get the names Soarin and Fleetfoot. Weird names but I was used to that by now.

We walked straight through the castle and I got us almost to the throne room before asking a guard where dinner was.

"Hey we're here for a royal dinner. Has it started, and is Princess Luna up?" The guard looked me up and down for a second before answering.

"Go down the corridor, left at the throne room, second right. It won't start for another twenty minutes or so. I believe Princess Luna is awake. She may still be in her quarters would you like to send her a message?" I blinked a few times at that. The guy had such a deep voice that made me believe he was faking it, probably to make up for something.

"Er. Er no, just asking. Thank you sir." I answered and walked off. Dash was next to me the whole way.

"Thank you for today Aron." Rainbow Dash whispered as we walked down the hall.

"No problem Dash, it was a great day." I replied, then put my hand through her hair and made her look even more messy. We then reached a pair of doors where dinner was being served. I stopped at the door, expecting the guards to let me in. I paused when they saluted.

"Ah." A new voice said from behind me. "You must be Aron, my saviour." The voice added. I turned around to see the blue Alicorn form of Luna behind me, she looked like that picture I saw my first day here.

"Princess Luna." I said, smiling slightly. The Princess nodded and smiled back.
