Chapter 65 (Aka don't mess with your nurse) [don't know why i have began adding extra bits here]

Celestia managed to push through all the work that piled up on her desk. Everything had been quiet in Equestria, no murders, no changelings and certainly no immortal enemy. The princess was not sure if she should be grateful or worried at the lack of problems.

The sun was just starting its journey back down to the horizon as the alicorn sent her final message away and stood up. She stretched her neck to get the stiffness out before walking towards her door. She was halfway as the door swung open and Dave marched in.

“Dave? When did you get back?” her curiosity swiftly left her mind as Dave wrapped her up in his arms, giving her a powerful and slow kiss. As they pulled apart, Celestia shared Dave’s smile. “Guards!” she called happily

A guard groaned as he opened the door “We know, no disturbances” the guard levitated a pair of earplugs into his ears as he closed the door. Celestia shrugged off the guard’s disrespectful tone as she gazed into Dave’s eyes

“How was your day out with Luna?” the alicorn gasped as Dave lifted her up and carried her over to the bed. Her smile turned into a cheeky grin “actually you can tell me later”

Meanwhile…

Twilight, Pinkie and Spike all sat in the library. Spike was growling to himself while the ponies exchanged worried glances

“How could they kick out Dave like that?” Spike threw up his arms as he demanded an explanation “He did nothing wrong!”

Twilight attempted to calm the dragon “Listen Spike I think they are still a bit upset that Dave broke up with them” she glanced at Pinkie again. “I know Fluttershy and I got over it but those three are more… stubborn”

“I’m confused why they changed their minds so quickly” Pinkie hummed “Did Dave act like a meanie?”

The purple unicorn shook her head “He was calm and broke it to us gently… at least he did for me and Rainbow Dash” Twilight jumped as there was a knock at the door. Spike stomped over and yanked it open. Expecting one of the three mares that disowned his friend

Instead, Nurse Redheart looked down with a smile “Oh hello Spike” She said sweetly, causing Spike’s frown to disappear “I was actually coming to find you”

She entered the library and placed down her saddlebags “Hello Twilight, Hello Pinkie” She smiled at the mares before pulling a letter out of her bag “Is it ok if you can send this letter to the princess?”

Spike looked nervously at Twilight “I don’t think the princess would allow normal ponies to send letters this way” Spike shrugged “Sorry about that”

Nurse Redheart sighed, “It is about the Princess and Dave” She sat down “Apparently for the duration of her pregnancy I am going to be a consultant”

“So you get to do all the medical checks and scans?” Twilight gawped “How did you convince her to give you the job?” The purple mare began to wonder if the princess did not trust her enough to build her own scanning machine

The white nurse sighed, “Actually she may have forced it on me” She stared at her hooves “After that day she first thought she was pregnant I apparently got given the job as royal nurse”

Spike picked up the sealed envelope “So is this the result of the scan?” He raised an eyebrow further as Nurse Redheart shook her head

“No that is a recommendation that she comes in for a scan” The nurse blushed slightly “If Dave and the princess have… mated when I think they have than the scan should be fairly accurate by now”

Spike looked at Twilight for a nod before blowing the letter away in a bright green flame. Pinkie bounced up to Nurse Redheart, so close she almost tipped her over

“When is the party?” Pinkie cheered in Nurse Redheart’s confused face “You know? The promotion party followed by the royal conception party!”

“I doubt the princess would want to spread the word about her conception so quickly” Nurse Redheart managed to shuffle away from the pink, bouncing blur “And I don’t want anypony to know that I am the royal nurse”

“Why not?” Twilight tilted her head “Everypony knows that I am Princess Celestia’s student and I don’t get treated differently”

Nurse Redheart rolled her eyes “Yeah and you continuously keep getting into some trouble or you have some other wacky adventure”

Twilight stood up “I don’t keep getting into problems!” she protested “A few weeks ago when Dave first arrived nothing happened!” she froze as she realised she was talking to her nurse “Actually I’m sorry don’t say anything!”

Nurse Redheart giggled, “You came in one of those days with repetitive strain injury in your hoof” her smile widened as Twilight blushed

Spike shrugged “So? She reads a lot and likes exercise” his child mind didn’t understand why Nurse Redheart laughed loudly

“Yes exercise can be quite… pleasurable” Nurse Redheart winked at the red-faced Twilight. Pinkie stopped in mid air and turned to glare at Twilight. Her face covered with disgust

“I have had those hooves on my face” She shuddered as Twilight pulled a book to her face to hide her shame

Spike scratched his head but burped as a scroll was released from the flames. Spike held up the letter and read it aloud. “Dear Nurse Redheart, I shall come along later on as I am busy for the next five or ten minutes, or maybe an hour we will have to wait and see” Spike shrugged at the others “P.s. Please be careful when sending letters, the last one gave Dave a very nasty paper cut”

Twilight looked over from her book “Dave would have had to been close to Princess Celestia for it to give him a paper cut” She hummed before blushing again “Oh… I’m guessing an hour”

“Well at least it gives me time to get the machine ready to scan her” Nurse Redheart picked up her saddlebags “I will see you later” As she began walking out, Twilight stopped her

“Is it ok if you can see what is wrong with some of our friends?” Twilight smiled “They have been acting strange lately and I feel they might be more open with you”

“You are all weird” The nurse muttered to herself as she saw Pinkie bounce across the roof “Ok I will talk with them next time they come in”

The nurse said her final goodbyes as she left the library, leaving Spike with an overexcited partygoer and an embarrassed clopper

Meanwhile…

Dave rubbed the stinging scar that ran across the top of his eye “Who in their right mind sends a letter with sharp edges through a teleportation system at speeds faster than the speed of sound?”

Celestia placed the dangerous envelope aside and nuzzled Dave’s side “At least we know that we can find out if I am pregnant or not yet” The white princess gladly shuffled into Dave’s open arms “Are you nervous?”

“Like you wouldn’t believe” Dave chuckled as the cut slowly healed “But I am ready for whatever happens” He held Celestia tightly as she enjoyed his embrace. The mood was soon cut short as Dave heard yelling

“What do you mean no interruptions?” Strong Shield yelled, “He knows what he is supposed to be doing!” The unicorn groaned loudly before knocking politely. Celestia used her magic to open the door and a calm Strong Shield walked in “Dave, Your majesty” he bowed

Dave chuckled nervously “Hey dad… how are you?” He awaited yelling and more aggression

“I’m fine, just waiting for you to came continue training” Strong Shield smiled “Oh and is it possible those guards can have the earplugs removed? It was hard to get my point across”

Celestia relaxed as she remembered her guards were still outside “Yes I will make sure they are not equipped with anything that isn’t standard issue”

Strong Shield bowed his head again “Alright come on Dave there is more training to be done” The unicorn glared at the human with his one eye before Dave reluctantly stood and followed him back through the castle

“So what are we doing today?” Dave sighed unenthusiastically as he dragged his feet behind the unicorn “Fight off a giant three-headed dog?”

Strong Shield hummed “I wonder if I could get Cerberus to come tear you apart” He thought for too long before shaking his head “Too much paperwork”

Dave gawped “You were seriously considering it?” He shrugged “Let’s just get this over with” Dave groaned as he stepped out onto the runway and saw the pile of chains running along the length of the stone and over the wall

“Put this on” Strong Shield passed Dave a set of chains that fitted around his chest “Right ALRIGHT ADAMAS!” he yelled as Dave secured the chains

“Hang on where is Adamas?” Dave felt the chains move and Adamas fly up from the other side of the wall with the other end of the chains “Oh shit” Dave was violently pulled from his feet and began sliding towards the wall “Actually I would really like to reconsider!”

He slammed into the wall before being dragged up the stone wall, Dave grabbed the chain and managed to plant his feet at the top of the wall, resisting the dragon’s pull

Adamas turned upside down so he could look back, his wings flapping gently as he smirked “I doubt that you could keep this up” he saw Dave attempt to look back at Strong Shield so he flapped a little harder to get his attention again

“Ok this training is getting ridiculous!” Dave yelled, “Can we stop?” His plan had only started but it was already shot down as Strong Shield frowned

“The hell you are!” Strong Shield yelled back “You are going to keep training until I think you can control yourself” Strong Shield sat down “Now keep going”

“Control yourself, normally that means you are too unstable” Odio sighed “Luckily you just need some good old fashioned motivation” The black fog swirled quickly “Alternative is you actually use the power in your body to slam that scaly fucker”

Dave glared at Strong Shield over his shoulder “If I can contain Adamas then can I leave?”

“Sure if you can” Strong Shield chuckled. His eye still studied Dave as if he was struggling to hold the dragon at this rate

Dave smirked as he pulled on the chain, pulling the arrogant dragon into the castle wall. As Dave’s feet touched the ground, he elbowed a hole in the wall and ducked through. Adamas was still recovering as Dave tied the chain around his back legs

Adamas attempted to kick Dave but that only pulled the chain around his neck, he snarled as he attempted to swipe Dave with his tail. The human avoided by climbing up the dragon and sitting on top of his nose

“Am I done yet?” Dave smiled victoriously at the angry dragon

“Not yet” Adamas growled as he flicked Dave into the air and opened his jaws. A stream of fire raced at Dave, engulfing him as he flew through the air. Adamas closed his jaws and saw Dave come out of his dragonscale trench coat

Dave landed on Adamas’ head, inspecting his trench coat “Made from dragonscales… that means it is fireproof” He chuckled as he used the dragon’s head as a path to the top of the castle walls. He leaned over the edge and waved to Strong Shield “Done!”

Strong Shield grinned “Good, now we can try again tomorrow!” he called as he watched Dave climb down the chain, breaking it at the bottom so Adamas could move freely again

Dave stopped “Yeah I don’t think training is really working out” he scratched the back of his head

“We will keep training Dave until I think you are ready” Strong Shield glared “Don’t spend your time fooling around with Celestia” His words hit Dave like a ton of bricks

“Heh… Excuse me?” Dave returned the glare “What do you mean fooling around?”

Strong Shield took a step to Dave “You aren’t doing this training just for Celestia” The unicorn growled, “This is for all Equestria, because if she falls then the sun will stop”

“I’m doing this for Celestia, Luna, You, Adamas and all those ponies that hate me” Dave poked Strong Shield “And don’t you dare think that I would let anypony down” Dave marched around the unicorn and into the castle “I don’t need training, I’ll see you around”

“Bravo Dave” Odio cheered, “Now I was hoping that we could go to the wonderbolts derby. I have a knack for guessing which pony is going to win”

Dave opened his mouth but quickly shut it as he heard hooves coming from around one of the corners. Luna stepped around with red eyes, signalling she had been crying. They froze and looked at each other

“Hey Luna” Dave sighed, “How are you?” He asked knowing he would not get an answer

“How did you get back so soon? I would have figured you were spending time with Strong Shield and Adamas doing training” The alicorn turned her head away as she walked down the corridor “It doesn’t matter, dinner is being served”

Dave followed Luna as they headed into the large dinning hall. Celestia sat at the head of the table, Luna sat at the other. Cadence and Shining Armour were both sat next to each other in the middle of the table

Dave avoided looking at Cadence as he gave a small wave to Shining. He moved one of the chairs so he was sat on the opposite side of the table to the other two guests but he was sat next to Celestia

“Hey Celestia” He whispered as he kissed her cheek “Have I missed the food yet?”

The white alicorn smiled “Not at all, I was surprised you were joining us seeing as you have training to do” Celestia rested a hoof on top of Dave’s hand

“Yeah it wasn’t working out so I have stopped all that nonsense” Dave smiled back as he held Celestia’s hoof. He heard a sigh of relief from Luna.

The chefs brought in various trays of food and left them on the table. The head chef bowed before leading his team back into the kitchen. The ponies smiled at the trays of fancy vegetables and other pieces of flora

Dave meanwhile picked up a few slices of bread and some strawberries “Shame there isn’t any cream” he joked which made Celestia blush

“Well I’m sure the chefs are sorry that they couldn’t meet your needs,” Cadence said just loud enough for him to hear. Shining chuckled before quietly muttering something to his wife.

Dave continued with his meal, picking up anything else he wanted to try “So Shining, how have the guards been?”

“Well they have been fine, maybe a little relaxed without your father to keep them busy” He joked which caused both the males to chuckle

Dave made himself a small vegetable sandwich and took a bite “Well it is good to know that everypony is doing alright” He smiled but sent a concerned look to the princess at the other end of the table. Luna merely poked and prodded her food, she wasn’t in the mood for eating and didn’t look at Dave

“Yes Shining my husband has done a good job recently” She smiled at her husband “There have been virtually no arrests since he had somepony else take up Strong Shield’s old job”

Dave closed his eyes and took a deep breath “Maybe it is because my father had criminals punished and not give a slap on the hoof to those who made small crimes”

Cadence leapt at Dave’s retaliation “Well if your father did such a good job then why did Princess Celestia have him sacked?” She smirked proudly as Dave’s eyes flared open

“Cadence honey” Shining shot her a frightened stare “You promised not to tell anypony” his eyes were full of fear as Dave talked in an oddly calm tone

“Celestia is that true?” Dave looked at her out of the corner of his eye. The white alicorn shuddered as her head fell in shame and nodded “Ok… I’m gonna take a walk and I will see you back in your quarters” He kissed her on the head as he stood up “We can talk about it then” He said reassuringly

Dave walked to the door but did not get the chance to leave as Cadence took another shot “He doesn’t even care does he? How did both the princesses fall for him?” Celestia and Luna both shot angry glares at the pink princess whilst Shining Armour began drinking strait from a wine bottle

Dave opened the door, stepped out and turned to look at the smug Cadence “Well I am very sorry that Celestia’s coltfriend did not get FUCKED BY A GIANT BUG!” And with that, Dave slammed the door in time to avoid the large spray of alcohol that Shining Armour spat out in shock
