Elegant Notes rose up into the air as she was lifted by the paw of Princess Rin before she came back down again with an oomph as her rump landed and she was lifted up again to repeat the process again and again as she counted each one. "You know I can walk on my own." Elegant Notes said as she looked up at me.

"Yes but I like moving your piece for you." I reply with a smile as I placed her on her new location on the board. Elegant Notes just sighed and rolled her eyes before deciding to continue with the questions.

"So can you move the sun or moon?" She asked.

"I have enough power but Celestia insisted that I don't." I answer.

"Why?" She asked.

"Well, she was kind of upset when I tried to move the sun fast enough to write my name in the sky." I say with a smile.

"I see... can you describe your life with Celestia's and Luna's parents?" She asked.

"Well the average day..."

I let out a wheeze as the air was forced out of me by my giggling alarm clock. Little Celly had gotten into the habit of waking me in the morning by jumping on me.

"Celly are you trying to kill me?" I ask her to which she responded by clamping her jaws on my nose and chewed on it with her gums. I sigh as I pull her away from my face and wipe off the baby spit before setting her in a playpen that was set up in my room for when she does this so I could go take care of my morning business. When I come back out I see that she has escaped her playpen.

"Why do I even bother with that thing?" I ask myself as I look around for her only for her to find me first as she lands on me again knocking me to the floor. "Celly that's not how we ask for a piggy back ride." I tell her as I look up at her and she complies with the puppy eyes and holding her fore hooves out. "Better." I say with a nod before I get up and walk out to get breakfast with a happily laughing Celly on my back.

"We thought that this might be thy next destination." Said Faust as she walked up next to me and nuzzled her daughter. "Doth thou be enjoying thy ride with Rin?" She asked the baby getting a happy laugh as a response before Celly scooted up till she was sitting on my neck and started chewing and tugging on my left ear. "We trust she has caused thee no trouble?" Faust asked me.

"You know I enjoy being her favorite playmate but I wish she would wake me more gently." I reply as I speed up a little and walk in a counterclockwise circle around Faust getting more giggles from Celly as she then pulls on my other ear and I turn with my head as we played one of her favorite games on the way to eat as I let her steer me around like a car.

"Count thy blessings that thou are the second one she uses to land. When she crashes into us her diaper doth be filled with an evil most foul." Faust said in a joking manner as we reach the kitchen and I get my usual breakfast of an egg sandwich with some cooked fish on the side as that's the only meat I can get from the ponies. I ate while Faust lifted a large barrel full of milk with a sack with a hole in it on top in her magic and held it over Celestia. It still baffles me that such a little baby can consume more than my own body mass in one meal

"How fared thee in thy investigation of the zombies in the city of Tomb Stone?" Faust asked me as she fed her baby.

"It went well at first. I discovered that the cause was a dark artifact, an orb that reanimated the dead through simple proximity. Someone had buried it in the city's necropolis." I answered.

"Such a dangerous and disturbing thing. Did thou find a way to counter it?" She asked with a frown.

"That's why I said it started out well. Before I could study it Salaris took it and smashed it while giving me a 'there went your trump card' look." I said in annoyance.

"He will come around in time, just be patient." She said reassuringly.

"Yes well the city needs to be purified now. You can't just smash a dark artifact like that so now the magic is in the necropolis itself. And unless the body is destroyed it will rise up as an undead again and again regardless of how many times they're taken down inside the area of affect and its so diluted now I can't get any real data on how it works." I complain.

"We trust the order has already been given?" She asked.

"Yes but its a large area to cover and the undead wont make it easy for them so it might take them awhile. Until then the area has been quarantined." I answer as she set the 'baby bottle' down and patted Celly's back causing her to burp with enough force to knock over one of the cooks and blow his hat away.

"Unfortunate news. Anyways we will be dining in the pavilion to watch the show, it's new recruitment day. Care to join us?" She asked with a smile which I returned.

"Sounds fun." I say as I follow her out. To make the new recruits want to train to be stronger they give them a ridiculous looking sparring partner to kick their plots to drive them and weed out the ones that are too proud.

As we sat and watched we delighted in the looks on the ponies faces as Strong Heart and Cluck Norris came out and the first one was asked to pick one to fight. The first match was with Strong Heart and the earth pony that came in flipping and showing off his marshal arts skills. They bowed and the pony attacked first with a flying kick but Strong jumped to the side and grabbing the kicking leg and flipping the pony forward before jumping back so that just when he landed Strong sat on him much like how Celly likes to wake others up. When the fight was over Strong got up and the pony shakily rose up and glared up at him.

"What kind of attack was that? Where did you learn how to fight?" The pony demanded.

Strong did a kung-fu pose and spoke in his best impression of wolverine from X-men and answered. "XBox...Kinects." Unfortunately the entertainment was short lived as all the fights went by that quickly. Not that I saw the end because when it was almost done there was a horrid smell in the air and when I turned to look Celestia's head was now higher than her mother's when sitting in the grass because her diaper was now so inflated it was literally bigger than me and I decided that I should really get back to my studies in the forbidden archives. In the time it took Faust to turn her head to undoubtedly ask me to take care of it I was already inside the castle.

I would spend hours studying those books and there isn't much to say about that time spent as the room was just full of books, webs, the occasional spider and the hollowed out wall with the painting that the king still thinks I don't know is being used to hide the spy he sent to watch me while I read.

When Lunch came around I would go eat in the garden before reporting to the throne room so that I can give my advice when they take court though most of the time I would just hang out by a playpen Faust kept next to her throne and play with Celly unless I had something to contribute.

"And here comes the ball." I say in a whisper as I roll the small toy back the Celly and she caught it and rolled it back too me. I was about to roll it back but was suddenly unable to move as I was trapped in a golden aura as Celly picked me up and pulled me into the playpen headfirst with my backside sticking out the top because I was too big to fit and I felt tiny hooves wrap around my head and Celly chewing on my ear as she laid down for her nap and is using my head as a teddy...again. When she fell asleep I gave Faust the signal with my tails to help me out of this trap I'm stuck in.

"Oh, we're sorry we doth be too busy to help thee with the baby at the moment." Faust said with a smile before turning back to court. Well...That came back to bite me. I thought to myself as I tried to free myself from Celly's grip but to no avail.

"This is going to be a long court." I said in defeat as I waited for it to end so I can be set free.

Court ended at dinner time and as per usual Faust invited me to eat with the family much to the chagrin of Salaris as he would just give me the stink eye whenever he looked at me and the only time he would talk to me he would try to use his words to trap me into saying something compromising so he could have an excuse and after that I checked on my minions and ran experiments.

"That was the average day." I say to the little pony.

"...wait, you were physically and magically overpowered by princess Celestia when she was a baby?" she asked in bewilderment.

"Well she is an alicorn." I say.

"But how can you watch over a baby that can easily overpower you?" She asked in confusion.

"By not relying on power." I answer as I move my piece to the end of the board. "I win! Now its time for a new game." I say with a grin as I pick up my tiny playmate.

Author's Notes:

Not entirely happy with the pacing and cutting things out but I try to keep the bonus chapters below 2,000.
