Chapter 61

Celestia wandered into the relaxed kitchen, the chefs were sat around a small table and did not notice their princess stroll in. As one heard the door close he noticed Celestia poking around in one of the cupboards and rushed over

“Your majesty” he bowed deeply “What do you wish for breakfast?”

Celestia turned her attention back to the cook next to her “Just something simple” she answered before continuing her journey in the cupboards. Her searching eventually made the head chef feel nervous as he looked over at his assistants

“Was there something else?” The chef asked quietly, not wishing to anger the princess. His colleges around the table nervously drank their coffees as they awaited a response

Celestia tapped her chin “I assumed we had a collection of every food product here” her tone did not sound angry but it did carry the tone of disappointment. The chefs exchanged glances before the head chef spoke up again

“Well some food is kept elsewhere” The pony bowed as Celestia turned to him. She was looking down at a slim, short unicorn. His coat was a light blue with streaks of navy along his mane. The cutie mark on his flank showed a bistro hat “What do you require?”

Celestia blushed slightly “I would rather find it myself, the nature is rather… embarrassing” she cursed her royalty as the chef gasped

“No, no, no Princess” the unicorn pleaded, “We will never judge you or what cravings you may have” the pony bowed deeply whilst his workers all smiled reassuringly. The princess only held her head high as she ordered her breakfast

“I would like eggs, cress, strawberries and some porridge” Celestia kept her head high as the ponies began their work “I would like enough to be made for me to share” the princess ignored the split-second glances “Also this is to be delivered to my quarters”

The head chef rallied his workers into action but turned again as he heard Celestia clear her throat “Is there anything else your highness?” the chef bowed as Celestia had one last quick glance inside the cupboards near her

“I would like either a can of whipped cream or some melted chocolate” Celestia blushed as one of the more sociable workers stared in shock. He knew what she was thinking of

The head chef did not catch on “We shall find which ever compliments the taste of your breakfast, where would you like us to spread it?” the cook that understood Celestia had to force a hoof in his own mouth to refrain from yelling at his boss

“If you find whipped cream then leave the can separate, if it is chocolate then leave melted in a bowl” Celestia stared down at the chef as he raised a confused eyebrow

The head chef nodded slowly “If that is what our princess desires then we shall retrieve these objects without delay” He bowed again before starting his preparation of the white princess’ breakfast. Celestia herself made a quick retreat from the kitchen and towards her quarters

Meanwhile…

Dave adjusted the pillows so he could sit in the bed more comfortably in the large, white bed “So what exactly have you been thinking about?” Dave asked the empty room around him. His mind began emitting the familiar warmth that Odio released as he spoke

“Just bits and bobs” Odio sighed “I have rethought a few things but nothing that affects the overall scheme of things” the black fog inside Dave’s mind swirled around and seeped into the human’s limbs. He delivered a charge of energy to Dave’s muscles “Now up you get and start training”

“No Odio I am waiting for Celestia” Dave remained in the bed, even though he was suddenly filled with energy “I understand you don’t like her and feel uncomfortable around Luna but you have to remember my feelings”

The groan from Odio was short lived “Are you sure you aren’t doing this in anger because I took you from your world?”

“I told you I am thankful you brought me here” Dave patted his own head jokingly “I was bored with my life on Earth and I am glad I met Celestia”

“Unwilling matchmaker” Odio directed at himself “I can’t believe you are trying for a child with her. Can you guarantee she can get pregnant by you?”

Dave rubbed his arms as his smile dipped “Well she wouldn’t have panicked last time if I couldn’t get her pregnant”

Odio saw Dave’s logic and was forced to groan in acceptance “But how will it affect her? She was given the parts but she was never actually designed to populate Equestria”

“Well I suppose I will have to help her in anyway I can” Dave nodded in determination “I swear on my life that I will protect Celestia and our child”

Odio’s flowing stopped “That is a promise you may not wish to keep” he sighed as he felt the presence of an alicorn approaching “I will probably talk when you aren’t blinded by love”

The door softly opened and Celestia trotted in, closing the door behind her with a gentle kick from her rear hoof “Well I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve walked into my bedroom to see a handsome male in my bed”

Dave could not resist joking, “So you have walked into see an ugly male in your bed?” he sniggered as Celestia shook her head with a smile. The white alicorn removed her golden regalia and set it on her desk

Celestia walked to the bed before sliding under covers and shuffling close to Dave “Did you love anyone before coming to me?” Celestia’s question made Dave chuckle again before dipping his head

“To be honest I never got into relationships with girls” Dave’s smile dipped “I had no problem making friends that were girls, it was just that none of them felt right” Dave turned his gaze to see a sympathetic Celestia wrap a hoof around his neck as she rested her head on his shoulder “None except you that is”

Celestia never thought about Dave’s life back on his world. She was too busy enjoying him to ask. “Well I’m glad that you thought I was right” Celestia closed her eyes as she listened to Dave’s breathing. The bed certainly kept the couple comfortable as they kept each other warm.

They both sat in relative silence as they preferred to listen to each other’s natural rhythm and take in each other’s scent. The intimacy was put on hold as a knock came from the door. Celestia beckoned the visitor in, which turned out to be the chef that knew Celestia’s intentions.

He nervously looked at the happy couple “Umm… your majesty I have your breakfast and umm… cream” the chef blushed along with Celestia as Dave raised an eyebrow “And we followed your previous wish of getting enough to share so we got an umm… extra-large bottle”

“What is this?” Dave asked as Celestia quickly levitated the tray over and allowed the chef to quickly escape. She removed the large can of whipped cream and hid it beneath her pillow

“Breakfast in bed, I ordered it myself” Celestia smiled as she lifted a few bits of cress into her mouth, Dave also took a strawberry from the plate which included four eggs. A large bowl contained some steaming porridge and the couple began their breakfast in comfort

Dave cut the eggs and Celestia levitated the sections into each other’s mouths. The feeling of cooperation only made them rest their heads against each other as they watched their breakfast slowly disappear from the plate. As they moved onto the porridge, Celestia lifted the spoon into the porridge and playfully made Dave chase the spoon with his mouth

Once the breakfast was finished, the alicorn levitated the tray and dirty cutlery away. She also placed the bowl aside as Dave finished the last bits of porridge. “Are you ready for dessert?” Celestia smiled as she magically removed the lid from the whipped-cream can

“Dessert? When was the main course?” Dave asked as he stared quizzically at Celestia’s cheeky smile. He looked at the can as it was slowly lifted into view, he smiled as Celestia threw the lid aside "I have those on my world, I used to love it with ice-cream”

Celestia’s blush increased as she moved it closer to her chest “Do you want it? I hear some ponies enjoy squirting it into their mouths” She blushed from thinking of the other form of squirting which obviously hadn’t crossed Dave’s mind

“Yeah it feels weird but it tastes nice” Dave smirked at Celestia. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, expecting the cold taste to rush into his mouth

The squirt was heard. No taste was felt. Dave closed his mouth, opened his eyes and looked at Celestia. She continued to blush as Dave looked at the floating can, the remnants of the whipped-cream stuck to the tip

Dave’s eyes eventually fell to Celestia’s chest, which held a small spot of whipped-cream. The penny dropped in Dave’s mind and he joined Celestia in mad blushing. “Well I was taught not to play with food but…”

“You can play with me can’t you?” Celestia smiled “And I think I’m sweeter than dessert” she winked before giggling gently as the pair began to lick the whipped-cream from wherever it fell on each others bodies. Anywhere

Meanwhile…

Adamas landed and dropped the boulder heavily on the side of the runway. He awaited the appearance of Dave and Strong Shield but was only greeted by the latter.

“Where is Dave?” Adamas scanned the area in hopes he was exercising

Strong Shield sighed, “Where do you think?” He shook his head as Adamas chuckled “This boulder will do nicely” the unicorn thanked the dragon as he looked over the oval rock. It would easily be twice as tall as Dave and five times as thick

“Do you require me for anything else?” The emerald dragon rested down on his stomach with his head near Strong Shield. His tired wings rested loosely at his side

The black unicorn shrugged “I can’t think of anything until later on” Strong Shield admitted “If you want to sleep somewhere I can find you when the time arises”

The large dragon nodded “I will sleep somewhere here, out of the way probably” he looked around the runway and saw grassy areas past the trees at the side. “I can stretch myself out there,” He indicated with a claw

Strong Shield memorized the location before turning to the castle “I suppose I will go wake Dave”. He said a quick goodbye before marching into the castle. As he walked down the corridors, he slowed, allowing himself to appreciate the architecture of the castle. In all his time as a guard, he never looked at his surroundings more that simple corridors

The windows that used to be entrance points were now stained glass, artworks. The curved ceiling was no longer a space for changelings to stick to but instead was now a testament to the superb stonemasonry of the ancient ages.

Strong Shield wished he knew how to make a castle survive countless years and endless assaults. He pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind as he reached the large golden doors that led into Celestia’s quarters. The two golden clad unicorns stood tall as they heard hoovesteps but relaxed when the saw the familiar eye-scar of their old sergeant

“Hello guardsmen” Strong Shield nodded as they resumed their normal positions “I assume Dave is inside”. The guards were stopped from responding as a loud laugh was heard, quickly followed by a moan which increased rapidly in volume before fading with loud gasps of breath. All three stallions avoided looking at each other until the noise silenced

Finally, one guard plucked the courage to talk “Yeah he is inside… I mean in the bedroom” he sighed as the awkward silence resumed. Strong Shield eventually shook himself out of the trance and headed for the door. He pushed them open before entering and looking over at the bed

Celestia had her eyes closed, sighing happily whilst clutching Dave’s head into her chest. “I hope you are finished” Strong Shield rolled his eyes as Celestia’s eyes shot open and glared at the intruder. Dave’s head slowly turned to reveal a large white moustache resting beneath his nose.

“Hey dad” Dave licked his lips free of the whipped-cream “Kinda busy here”. He made sure the bed sheets were covering him and Celestia before rolling off the top of the white alicorn

Strong Shield failed to notice the whipped-cream can that rolled at the bottom of the bed but instead noticed the white substance along Celestia’s neck and trails leading down to the parts of the body he could not see. Dave also had spots across him that were also smudged by licking

Strong Shield groaned at the sight “Adamas and I are waiting on the runway, get down there soon… oh another thing” Strong Shield turned back “If you want to have a child then the white stuff is meant to go inside her” He winked at Dave before hastily leaving. Not giving Dave or Celestia the chance to explain the situation or what the substance actually was
