Why me?
Chapter 6: Meet the neighbors/roommates
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“It’s been a thousand years since I last saw you,” Celestia said as she went to her younger sister. She’s been waiting for this day for a thousand years, this singular moment. Waiting to see her beloved sister, to hold her, to tell her how sorry she is. How she should have done more. She saw how her sister was so small and vulnerable...
…it doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that her sister is back safe and sound.
“It’s time to put our differences aside, we were meant to rule together,” the Sun Princes began, “little sister.”
“Sister?” came the surprised response of the ponies behind her. The Princess of the Sun ignored them as the blue alicorn in front of her was more important than the shock of her student and her newly found friends.
“Would you please join me?” Celesta asked her sister with her hoof outstretched. The silence made way for fear, and uncertainty in the mind of the Sun Princess. Is her sister going to join her? Is she willing to put the past aside and begin anew? Or does the Princess of the Night still held-
“I’M SORRY! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!” Princess Luna cried out as she launched herself into her sister. Tears flew off her muzzle and onto Celestia fluffy chest.
With tear-filled eyes, Celestia wrapped her sister in a feathery hug. Unable to support herself with the weight of the emotional reunion the two sunk onto the floor. With a soft whimper, she said, “I’ve missed you too Luna, my sweet sister.”
The environment was very somber with a hint of happiness squeezed on top of it. The joy of the reuniting of the sisters did stir the hearts of all those present and with those feelings came tears, including a certain pink earth pony. 'Tears are no fun even if they were of joy! We should celebrate this moment,' Pinkie thought to her self.
"This calls for a party!!" she screamed out randomly. Celestia and Luna broke apart but still maintain their physical contact. Celestia gave a small smile as everything seem to be going the way it should be. Sean's fear was completely unwarranted...
...what was that slight copper smell coming from...?
From behind, her star pupil, Twilight, gasped, "Oh no! The creature!"
"What?" Celestia said as she stood up quickly, her eyes went to her student. She followed where Twilight's eyes were looking at. There, she found a splash of blood that led to a bloody trail that wrapped around the room. Ice snaked down her body, "Sean!" Celestia quickly galloped to Twilight, "What happened Twilight?" she demanded from the purple unicorn.
Twilight flinch from the tone a bit and took a step back before she explained, "That creature came and saved me from Nightmare Moon..."
Heard enough, and with fear clouded her mind, she flew out and down the tower with a single destination on her mind.
Sean's camp.
With a golden glow as performed a small teleportation hop, where she found herself just outside his camp. There she found her human friend and in his hand was a knife, “SEAN! What are you doing?!” Celestia screamed as she ran into the campsite.
“Treating my wounds,” he human spat with a heavy breath as he held the knife up as it glowed red hot. If this was any other time the princess would be scolding him not only for his reckless behavior but the barbaric way of treating his wound as well.
He should have stayed in that room where she could have treated him sooner, or better yet he should have stayed in his camp and not gotten involved. But noooo, this stupid human decided to be the hero and get himself hurt.
Celestia had hoped that Sean would be reserved and uninvolved with the events. She knew that he wasn't fully convinced about letting things be but for him to go this far...
With her magic, she took the knife away from Sean and flung it to the other side of the room. With a growl, he said, “What the fuck lady!”
Celestia flinched slightly at the foul language but pressed on, “Are you crazy?!” she shouted as she began to go over the proper healing spells. Pale, sweaty skin, shows that there is blood loss and infection is possibly taken place. Deformed hand, broken bones that need to be knitted back together. The gash on the chest cavity needs to be closed and disinfected. Impurities need to be purged from his body quickly.
“No, I’m bleeding,” Sean snapped as he placed an unbroken hand to his chest assumedly to apply pressure.
'Well, at least he still able to use sarcasm,' Celestia thought as her muzzle scrunched up in a scowl and she tapped into her magic, having chosen the proper spells. The princess watched as the human's eye widen as her horn charged with magic.
“Um…hello I’m cursed remember!” he reminded as he held up his broken hand. “Magic will aggravate it!”
A snort escaped Celestia's lips, “Well it either this or you get an infection,” the human looked like he was going to say something so the princess moved to cut him off, “You don't get a say!” Her horn glowed as bright as the morning sun. “I’m not going to lose you! Not after I just got my sister back!!”
Sean's body began to shined and sparkled, bones cracked back into place even color started to come back into his face.
Then the screaming started.
The screams clawed at her ears as it made there way to her heart to stab and rip Celestia's heart to created new scars. Even though she was healing him she was still causing him pain, but just every other time, she buried her guilt and kept pushing on. She'll carry this burden just like everything else.
Eventually, the screams stopped and Celestia gently lowered the human to the ground before she cut the flow of magic. She leaned down to check her work. With her magic, she carefully opened the cut shirt and peered inside. Her heart paused and chill froze her veins form the sight of the blue furry chest. Celestia looked up to Sean's head and saw that the blue was slowly rising up to his face.
Her depressed sigh was masked by the sound of the clopping of hooves. Celestia turned her head to see her sister along with Twilight and her newly acquired friends. Hesitantly the Sun Princess covered Sean up and turned her body to meet in incoming ponies.
"Princess?" Twilight said as she stopped in front of her. The purple unicorn peered around the alicorn and saw the covered human. "Oh no!" she gasped as she moved around the princess, "Is it alright?"
Celestia placed herself between Twilight and Sean. "He is fine," she told the unicorn, "I've healed him and he is just sleeping." She then turned to Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "Would you two please help me carry him?" she asked as she used her magic to create a stretcher using nearby debris.
"You got it, princess," Rainbow Dash said as she and Applejack moved to either side of the human. Celestia then placed the front end of the improvised gurney on the ponies.
"Why not use thy magic to carry it?" Luna said softly as she walked up to her sister while she carefully placed Sean on the stretcher, taken care not to touch him with her magic.
"Magic will aggravate his current...condition," Celestia answered carefully.
Luna looked up to her sister with a cocked eyebrow. "What is he?"
Twilight stepped in and took the other end of the stretcher and looked to her teacher ready to begin their journey. "He is a very dear friend of mine," Celestia said and Twilight had the look of horror on her face. She had just realized that she shot at a friend of the princess.
Celestia gave the worried unicorn a disarming smile to let her know that everything was okay. WIth the Sun Celebration going on Celestia wasn't able to let her student know the entire situation about Sean, only just enough to calm the raising fears of the populations of Ponyville.
"That seems quite a story," Fluttershy squeaked out and Celestia giggled as she leads the group out of the castle.
"Indeed it is," she said, "Perhaps one day I'll tell you all about it."
My eyes fluttered open and I was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling. It was more wooden than what I’m used to as well as darker. Celestia’s sun…
FUCK!!
I sat up quickly as my memories flooded back; Twilight confrontation with Nightmare Moon, me fighting Nightmare Moon and the near-death experience.
Now that I think about it. I felt great all things considering.
Oh, that’s right Celestia healed me.
I looked down at my tattered shirt and pulled it off. My entire left side was now covered in sapphire colored fur. and now that I think about it the left side of my face felt off too. My eyes looked around to see if there was a mirror or something I can see myself. When I did I saw that the room was filled with lab equipment.
By now my mind was finally running on all cylinders and the details began to connect. The building’s structure made out of wood, said wood looked like it was still intact and not in planks, lab equipment, two beds put together because they were too small otherwise, lack of light and the humid and stale air.
I was in the basement of the Golden Oak Library.
A glint of light caught my eye and I looked over to see that there was a small mirror on a nearby table.
I walked over to the table and moved to pick up the vanity mirror, but I froze halfway. A lump formed in my throat and my breath hitched before it began to quicken. Fear laced my blood and uncertainty stiffened bones.
Knowing what I’m going to see and actually seeing are two different things. I’m afraid of having my fears confirmed, but I need to face them so I can move on. There is so much to do, and I need to find out what has happened while I was out.
Ripping off the band-aid I snatched up the mirror and looked at the reflection, I was confronted by the truth.
My face had started to transform. Blue skin tone had clawed its way across my face before it snaked down my neck that was now conquered by azure fur. My jaw was decorated with a mixture of dark blue and brown hair. For a moment a yellow earth pony with a brown beard flashed in my mind. A smile graced my lips. “Well he had it easier than me,” I muttered and placed the mirror down. “He transformed instantly.”
I went back to my bed and saw that my ‘cloak’ was folded away. Wordlessly I put on my shirt and cloak, and I made sure that the hood was a little bigger to give a little more head coverage. When I was ready, I pulled my cloak closer so that my entire body was covered.
With a deep breath I looked around for the exit when I spotted a pair of stairs that lead up, and since there was nothing else for me here I went to it and left the room. As I climbed the stairs the light from the room above began to bleed through. Brighter and brighter my world shifted until I entered the main room
Besides the shelves of books, a few pieces of living room furniture along with a desk with quill and ink, the room was empty. There was muffle of squeals of excitement and jolly that came from outside to which I assumed was from the welcome back party for Luna.
So things did end up just like the show. At least close enough. I guess I don't need to hang around here any longer.
I rolled my shoulder and a few satisfying cracks answered the call.
Well, I better get going again. Don’t want to sour the mood with my presence. Luna needs this, Celestia needs this. Both of them need this time together, and my presence would just ruin the celebratory mood.
My lips pulled up in a smile.
Especially, Luna, she needs to know that the people love her, and Celestia needs to reconnect with her sister. Hopefully, they can heal and strengthen their relationship.
Now, if I remember correctly from the show I think the back door is in the kitchen…?
Before I could begin to search for the room one of the side doors opens revealing a purple and green baby dragon that was carrying a bowl full of multicolored gems.
Spike’s mouth was absolutely dripping with saliva as he licked his lips.
Troll lololo-lololo~
The dragon was so wrapped up in his prize that he didn’t seem to notice me, and so he skipped right towards the couch and plopped right on to it the gems clicking together.
Quietly, I walked over so that I was right behind him. As he pulled out a ruby the size of the palm of my hand he licked his lips. I then loomed over him to cast a shadow over him. It took him a hot minute to realize that something was off. In fact, he nearly had the ruby in his mouth before he notices the change in the light.
“Huh?” Spike said as he looked around.
TROLL GO!!
“You know, you’ll get a stomachache if you eat all that,” I told him and the drake froze on the spot. Slowly, almost robotically, Spike turned around and looked at me with fear filled eyes. I leaned forward with a smile full of teeth and said…
“BOO!”
Spike jerked off the couch and bounced off the floor. As the gems scattered floor the dragon shot out the house screaming. I let out a hard chuckle and turn toward the door that led to the kitchen. I had to crouch really low so that I could get through the door.
“Well I’m not getting a hobbit house that’s for damn sure,” I grumbled as I straighten up.
A groan escaped my lips when I realized that I was going to have to crouch again in order to leave the tree house/library.
“Goddamn ponies,” I grumbled as I crouched out the door and once I was outside I bent backward to realigned my spine. I uttered a rather pleasurable groan as a loud pop vibrated throughout my body.
I shook each leg around to get the blood going before transitioning into some stretches.
“There we go,” I spoke out loud standing back up limbered up and ready to go.
I took one step forward…
“Where do you think you’re going?”
…and about-face right into the questioning glare of Celestia.
“…Hi,” I said with a nervous wave and smile.
For a moment I thought I saw Celestia’s eye twitch, and I knew I was in for a good verbal thrashing, so I did the responsible, adult, mature thing.
“Look a distraction!” I yelled pointed behind Celestia and booked it in the opposite direction.
I only reached four steps before I came to a full stop.
There was a chime of magic being used and the next thing I knew something had caught my cloak and…well when an object in motion come to a complete stop, and when said object just happened to be around my neck.
Yea…not fun.
Thankfully, the force wasn’t that heavy but it was enough to clothesline me and slam me into the ground.
I gasp of air was shoved out of my chest when I hit the ground. Taken a few deep breaths of air I uttered one word. “Ow.”
“Did you really think that was going to work?” the princess asked when she stood over me, and amused grin and raised thin eyebrow adorned on her face.
An irate reply was at the ready. “Do you want the honest truth or the colorful lie?”
With a roll of her eyes, Celestia moved out of the way so that I could get up. “Come on,” she said as she walked towards the front of the library. “I want you to meet everypony.”
I moved to catch up to her, “Um hello trying not to break reality, remember.”
Celestia snorted, “Should have thought about that before you decided to fight Nightmare Moon.”
“Hey!” I growled in anger. How dare she scolded me! She wasn't there to see what I saw! “You weren’t there! That bitch was ready to kill Twilight! I wasn't going to just stand around with my thumb up my ass!”
Celestia stopped walking and turned to look at me. The water forming in her eyes gave me pause, “I know,” I suddenly found myself wrapped in a feathery embrace. A sniffled followed by a, “…I was afraid I was going to lose you,” killed all the anger within me.
“Sorry,” I said as I completed the embrace, “I just," a sigh spilled from my lips, "I just couldn’t stand by and do nothing. This isn't a TV show remember...”
“Don’t be,” Celestia murmured, “I am simply glad you’re alright.” She released the hug and with magic cleaned herself and made herself presentable. "Just don't do this again. I do not want to tell your mother that you had died trying to be the hero."
I muttered, "No promises," as I straighten out my cloak. If Nightmare Moon was willing to kill in order to succeed then who else is willing? Discord? Chrysalis? Sombra? Tirek? Storm King? Starlight Glimmer? Each of these villains came very close in winning and defeating the Mane Six, and that was when the show was limited by its rating and the archetype that the good guys always win in the end. Here though where there are no such bindings...?
I shuddered at the thought at what these villains will be willing to do. What line they willing to cross without a second thought.
A voice spoke up from behind us said, “Sister?” We turned around to see a small blue alicorn walking towards us.
Luna timidly came up to us. I notice that she was doing her best not to make eye contact with me. The one moment that she did I saw the guilt and anguish.
The poor thing must be going through hell right now. Granted she is back home after being away for a millennium but the first thing Nightmare does when she gets back is beat Celestia and attempt to kill me. The guilt must be weighing heavy on her. I don't blame her and I'm sure Celestia doesn't either, but I don't think she knows that.
Time to change that.
But what about...
Fuck you social anxiety! IT'S TIME TO GET RIDICULOUS!!!
I'm laid-back, I'm feelin this, tonight's the night and I just wanna let it go
Hit the play back, I know your feelin this, c'mon baby, let's get ridiculous!
Fuck off Redfoo!
My lower lip puffed out and it quivered, "AWW ARN'T YOU JUST THE CUTIEST THING!!!" I squealed out as I flopped my arms around and bounced in place.
Luna's head shuddered as if she was hit by a 2 X 4 before I swooped towards her and gave her hug. As she flung around in my grasp I spun around and continued my squealing. "I'm going to feed you, and pet you, and call you George!"
"MINE OWN NAME IS LUNA!!" the Moon Princess screamed as she tried to wiggle out of my grasp with renewed vigor.
"PUTTETH ME DOWN THEE HEATHEN!!!"
"Aw your accent is so adorable," I said as I rubbed our cheeks together.
There was a slight burn sensation on my face that followed a sizzling *POP* as Luna teleported out of my grasp and reappeared behind a giggling Celestia, a scowl plaster on her face. I chuckled to hide my grunt of pain as I readjusted my cloak.
I pulled down my hood as I nodded to the princesses, "Don't blame yourself, Princess Luna," I told the scowling princess, " 'Cause I don't."
Luna's face relaxed and became more somber. A small growl bounced around my throat as I saw that I wasn't making her feel any better. Wordlessly I walked over to the Luna, Celestia's gaze never leaving me. When I was in front of Luna I placed my human hand on her head and gave her a pat. She shook off my hand and was about to say something else when she was silenced when I placed a finger on her lips.
"Don't you ever feel guilty for what Nightmare Moon did in your place," I lowered myself so that I was eye level with Luna, "The only thing you're guilty of is feeling alone and unappreciated for your hard work in creating a beautiful night." I reached forward and gave the princess a hug, "But know this, your Highness, your nights are always and will always be admired and appreciated." The pony beneath me began to shake and shudder, "And you'll always be loved," I said as I broke the hug and stood back up where I was met with a crying Luna. "Never forget that," I finished with a boop to her nose.
I gave Celestia a knowing look which I got a shocked looked in return from the princess. It almost felt like I made big social no-no. But that can't be the case can it? I just attempt to give some advice and boop her on the nose. I did it to Celesita all the time and she never seemed to mind. Confused I turned around and walked away with my mind back on Luna
If only the Princess of the Night knew the number of fans she had back home and if only their voices could be heard now. I'm sure that she would never feel alone.
I turned around and walked away heading towards the Everfree Forest. "Thank you," a small whispered reached my ears. My hood hid my smile as I lifted my human hand and gave a wave to the ponies behind me.
Boo-ya!! Cloud Nine here I come.
I did something right and boy do I feel good. True it might not do much now but hopefully, it will nudge Luna in the right direction. That way the whole Tanta-watcha-ma-call-it dream thingy episode can be avoided. If Celestia has no problem fucking with the timeline then why should I, especially when I can do some good and hopefully alleviate the changes that Celestia has made.
Fucking dumbass horse.
*Pop*
Celestia's disapproving glare popped right in front of me.
Aw shit, she heard my thoughts!
Her glare soften before she nuzzled me, "Thank you," she whispered into my ear before she pulled back her glare came back in full force, "But that doesn't mean that you are off the hook..."
"Princess...?"
SAFE!!
Celestia's shot me a glare that told me otherwise.
Denied!!
Twilight Sparkle timidly came towards us. Both of us looked over to see that she was flanked by the other member of the Mane Six.
Must. Fight. Giggling. Urge. Fan. Boy. Restrain.
"Ah, excellent timing Twilight," Celestia said as she motioned towards me with her hoof. "This is my friend Sean I'm sure you remember him."
I looked at the members of the Mane Six and took them in. Twilight was cleaned up and it seems that the wounds that she sustained during her fight with Nightmare Moon were healed. The purple unicorn looked at me with caution, but I could see the spark curiosity dance across her amethyst eyes. Behind her was Fluttershy as she hid in her mane, but not fully as I could see her peaking out her forest of pink.
Applejack seemed to hold me under the harshest scrutiny. She looked like she was going to pierce my soul to try to find any darkness in me. Rarity also had me under judgmental gaze but it was at what I was wearing rather than me. Rainbow Dash just hovered above them with a lazy posture, but I could pick up a hint of interest. Pinkie Pie was...was she vibrating???
This is Pinkie Pie remember.
But...
It's Pinkie.
But logic...
Fuck yo' logic!
Whatever, let's try to make a better impression than last time shall we? Nice and diplomatic with a hint of gentlemen-ness. Come on now it's not that hard just be you and everything will work out fine. If you want their help then we must be on our best behavior. Remember be the nice you, not the asshole you. They won't be able to handle that now, if ever.
" 'Sup," I said with a slight cock of my head.
...perfect...
"Kinda hard not too," Rainbow Dash muttered, "It's pretty big and tall."
"HE," I corrected hardening my tone and face, "I understand that this cloak doesn't help my figure, but I am a guy Skittles."
The pegasus snorted as she whipped her head towards me, "What did you call me?" Rainbow flew at me with the intent to beat me with an inch of my life, "Why I outta..." she came to a full stop when Twilight grasped her tail with magic and planted her butt into the ground.
THATS RIGHT!!! SIT YOUR PUNK-ASS DOWN!!!!
"Rainbow please behave yourself," Twilight reprimanded the speed demon, "He's a stallion and the Princess friend." The purple unicorn turned to her mentor, "I'm sorry Princess Celestia."
What the fuck does that mean? 'He's a stallion' I don't see why...that...would...
Motherfucker I'm in an RGRE aren't I! I mean logically it would make sense with the skewed gender ratio, you know to protect the only way to procreate, but maybe it won't be as bad as the ones I've read right? Although now that I think about it, some of Celestia's behaviors and questions back home are starting to make sense now.
Hmmm, I guess we'll have to wait and see. If they think that I'm just going to sit at home and be in the kitchen then oh boy they got another thing coming.
Make me a sandwich my ass.
Celestia just smiled and slightly nodded her head, "Don't worry my student." Suddenly the back of my head jerked forward as something smacked into it. With a stumbled, I lurched forward and I barely caught myself from tasting the dirt. "Although he lacks the social skills he is really nice once you get to know him."
"Oi! Watch where you fling those things!" I cried out pointed at her wings which just tucked themselves back into place. "You know the number of times you hit me with those things it a divine miracle that I'm not brain dead," I said all of this while I chopped my human hand into the palm of my other hand.
The Sun Princess rolled her eyes and with a snort said, "Well stop giving me a reason to and I will."
"Tsh, as if, you just like hurting people," I retorted as I turned my head away from Celestia, "Fucking sadistic horse," I muttered as the worry bounced around Twilight's eyes.
At Celestia's chuckle, I turned my head back towards her, "Only you, my little human."
With a scowl, I put a finger pointed at her, "I'm not little," I said before my scowl turned into a smile, "But then again compared to your fat ass everyone little ain't they."
Score! I've been saving that one for a while.
A large collective gasp broke the two of us out of our battle of tongues. We looked over to see that my comment had a much larger effect than expected. Everyone within earshot was frozen stiff. Literally, Rainbow Dash fell to the ground as her wings stop and her jaw joined the rest of the Mane Six, Spike, and Luna's on the grass.
Huh, look at that I think Twilight is starting to foam at the mouth.
I think that's a ten pointer right there. So now the score is:
Sean:15
Celestia: 70
I'ma catching up.
"You-you," Rarity stuttered out as Applejack and Rainbow's expression turned murderous.
"How long have you've been waiting to use that one?" Celestia asked with an amused expression. The heated tension in the air was immediately doused by confusion.
With my arms crossed and a satisfied smile on my lips, "For a while now actually," I told her.
"Did you burn a few brain cells coming up with that one," she cooed at me in an antagonizing way.
I smirked, "Yes, all two of them," I killed her counter barb and held up two fingers to count off.
"P-Princess," Twilight said as she looked in on with abject horror.
"Don't worry my dear Twilight," Celestia said nudging me with her wing, "This is just the way he is, his insults are just his form of humor, pay them no mind."
"But-but," the purple unicorn sputtered out pointing at the both of us.
"Relax Sparky," I said shifting towards the white alicorn, "Like, about 90% of the [Beep] I say is harm...less."
Did I just beep?
"What da [Beep]?"
I did!?!?!
Beep beep I'm a sheep, I said beep beep I'm a sheep.
NOT NOW!!!
"How did you do that!" Twilight exclaimed with a raised hoof pointed at me. She turned towards Celestia, "How does he know the forbidden words?"
Celestia just nonchalantly shrugged her wings.
"[Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep]," I fell to my knees and my hands grasped at the green grass. The cool feeling of the grass ran up my arms and chilled my very core. "I've been censored, how?"
"I wondered when that would kick in," Celesta said as trotted past me.
"What did you do?" I growled at Celestia.
The pony princess response, her signature troll smirk. "I told you to watch your language around my little ponies."
That [Beep].
EVEN MY [Beep]-ING THOUGHTS!!
"The best part? I didn't have to lift a hoof. That spell was put into place long before me and my sister," Celestia explained as I slowly stood up, the giggle in the tone ground my gears, "It was put in place by the founders of our world," the pony still had her smirk on her lips.
With growl, I crossed my arms and silenced myself.
"Perhaps we should get back to the matter at hoof," Celesta said before she coughs lightly to which I grumbled, "As I was trying to say." The Sun Princess motion towards me. "My friend needs your help Twilight,"
As Celestia said this Twilight shook her shock away before she straightened up and with her head held high she said, "Whatever it is princess, you can count on me."
"I know I can," Celestia said with a slight bow of her head, "You see Sean here is stranded here in Equestria, and while I'll be able to send him back, the curse that was placed on him needs to be removed." At that, I pulled out my cursed arm to show the ponies gathered. I saw a flash of recognition in Luna's eyes before they were schooled back into neutrality.
Now that is interesting, it would appear that Luna knows what is this curse is as well. That raises a few questions and suspicions. Where did this curse come from, why was it created, and why was it hidden in the Castle of the Two Sisters? I need answers.
Suddenly my vision was covered in buttery yellow and a pair of sky blue eyes.
The yellow pegasus grasped my human hand, "Oh you poor, poor, dear," Fluttershy cooed as she patted my hand. "Let's get you inside and I'll get you a nice cup of tea." The pegasus then began to drag me back into the library.
Confused and a little bewildered I looked back at Celestia for some kind of assistance and I only got an amused smirked as Fluttershy ushered me inside the tree house.
TRAITOR!!
A few seconds later I found myself sitting down on the couch surrounded by pillows and blankets. I just feel how [Beep]-ing ridiculous I looked under a pile of blankets. The need to rip all of this covering off was growing, to be free from this cotton prison, to assert my manliness...
...died when Fluttershy came into view with a cup of steamy tea. Her big soft blue eyes promised safety and warmth. "Here you go," the pegasus said softly as she floated over to me. "Oh! Do you need more blankets?" she asked as she examined me.
I took a moment to fight through the different pillows and blankets as well as my cloak in order to take the offered cup. "I think he has enough Flutter's," the raspy voice of Rainbow cut in.
Once my hands were free I took the cup, "Thank you Fluttershy, but I'm good," I told her as I settled back into my nest of blankets.
"So he has manners after all," I heard Rarity whispered to herself.
I blew on my tea before I spoke, "He has ears as well." The unicorn had the decency to look somewhat ashamed before she turned her head. Funny, people always think that I can't hear them. One of the perks of being quiet I guess.
"So Princess," Twilight cut in, obviously trying to keep the peace, "you said you had a favor to ask of me."
I looked over to the duo princesses where they sat. Luna, by the looks of it, hasn't lost her regal-ness during her banishment. Luna caught me staring and seemed to straighten up to puff out her chest a bit. A flicker of color caught my eye and I looked over to see Celestia looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I shrugged my shoulder in response.
Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't do anything wrong...did I? Ah [Beep] did I make a boo-boo!?! A big, giant, social BOO-BOO!!
"Celestia?" Twilight said pulling me out of my thoughts, again. I really need to start paying more attention.
"Yes Twilight," the Sun Princess said before she turned to the unicorn, "I know I told you that you that I wanted you to report your findings on the power of friendship..."
I covered my snort by taking a sip of tea. Hmmm, blueberries.
"... I have one more important mission for you." Celestia said the last bit with a sickly sweet smile pointed at me.
Ah [Beep].
Han Solo: I have a bad feeling about this.
"As I said before, Sean has been cursed by an ancient spell. I am currently searching through the library at Canterlot Castle to find the counter, but my duties as princess take up a lot of time," Celestia motion towards me, "time that Sean does not have."
Celesta then looked to her sister, "Time that must now be devoted to re-acclimating my sister into modern society."
[Beep]-en hell I didn't think of that. Of course, Celestia would be busy when Luna returned. On top of running a whole country, there is no way in hell she would have time to find a cure.
Good going dumb-[Beep]
"You can count on me princess," Twilight stated proudly as she stood at attention.
I caught Spike looking at me with a critical eye. "Where is he staying?" he asked.
I was about to snip at him that I was staying at the Castle of the Two Sisters, but then I remembered that the drake wasn't there with the other Mane Six. So I changed my patterned and said, "Well..."
"Here in the library of course," Celestia cut in like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What!?"
Celestia looked at me with a confused look that I was sure was only about thirty percent legitimate. "What, you didn't really think I was going to let you stay at that old castle did you?"
I set my cup of tea down at the coffee table before I flung my arms around, "Yes!" I exclaimed exasperated, "That was the deal."
"I'm altering the deal," Celestia said with a smirk, "Pray I don't alter it any further.
I pulled my hood off so she could see my deadpan glare. Just before I spat out my retort. Celesta flinched slightly, "Don't go all [Beep]-ing Darth Vader on me."
The princess rolled her eyes, "You'll be safer here," Celestia explained as she got to her hooves, "this way it'll also be easier for you to find a cure for your curse."
"How," I said with my arms crossed before I realized that nobody could see them so settled with a glare instead.
"Most of the text that pertains with ancient times are kept at my castle in Canterlot," the sun Princess explained, "I'll send them to you and Twilight, together I'm sure you'll find something."
Why didn't she say this earlier? About me transporting books to Golden Oaks Library? I detect the familiar smell of manipulation. The question remains; to what end and why? I don't like any of this at all. This isn't the same Celestia that I met back home. What happened during our time apart that would cause her to be so manipulative to me? I thought that we had built a level of trust that we wouldn't have to be deceitful of each other.
I want my Celestia back...
"What about my [Beep], and my source on income? I'm sure as hell not mooching off you or Twilight," I said bitterly with a hint of irritation before I paused, "What da' [Beep]," I frowned, "Oh, I can say hell but not [Beep] or [Beep]. Well, [Beep] you then," I cursed at none in particular as my situation started to become too much.
"Is he alright princess?" Twilight whispered to Celestia.
"I think the stress is getting to him," Celestia answered with an apprehensive chuckle, "Don't worry he is just venting." I looked over to see Celestia give everyone a nervous look. "He's nice once you get to know him I promise."
God [Beep]-ing [Beep] it.
Embarrassment and shame heated my face. What the hell is wrong with me? I need to tone this [Beep] down. I'm making Celestia look bad and making an [Beep] out of myself. Sean, you [Beep]-ing retard. What the [Beep] hell is wrong with you.
"Hiya!" a pink poofy monster blasted my eyesight.
I let loose a screech and fell backward. As soon as my back hit the ground a weight settled on my chest. I looked up to see a pair of dark blue eyes engaged mine.
"I'm Pinkie Pie, you like pie? I like pie. I also like cake, cupcakes, ice cream, ooh I want some chocolate ice cream. Do you like chocolate? How about chocolate cake," the pink menace gasped loudly. "I need to throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party," another gasp, "I need to create your file! I have so many questions now!!"
Suddenly a lasso wrapped around Pinkie's barrel and yanked her off of me, "Now calm down there sugarcube," Applejack said after she spat out her rope. "Ah think ya' should tone it down a' bit."
I just laid there on the ground in shock, trying to process what just happen.
"I was trying to get him to smile," Pinkie whined, "He seemed so upset and sad for the bad first impression."
What the [Beep]?
Pinkie Pie
Celestia's head poked into my line of sight her lips pulled back slightly "Are you okay?" she asked with bemusement with a hint of concern.
There she is, the Celestia that was stranded in my house. The kind and caring pony that helped me through my problems and I help through her's. The one that I spent time watching movies, trading bards, and teaching about human customs. The one where I can be myself and not worry about society judging me for being different.
Jeez, I need to get a hold of myself. I'm starting to become an angsty teenager. God, next I'm going to start wearing black clothing and talk about how depressing life is going to be.
Wait...I already like to wear black...
[Beep].
I snorted out loud.
The princess let out a sigh and leaned down towards me, "Are you really worried about being a burden?" she asked me and I just looked at her with silence. "I'm sure you can find some work around here to help cover any expenses that you need, the crown is already covering the living expenses of Twilight in exchange for maintaining the library." I didn't say anything as my mind was trying to come up with something. An apology for my behavior? Perhaps making her look bad? God, why did act like that?
Man the [Beep] up!
"Perhaps you could use that college degree to use here?" Celestia offered helpfully, "I sure you could find some work at the hospital."
"Yea, I'm going to stop you there," I told the pony princess as I gave her the best thousand-yard stare, "It was going to be hard for me to find a job back home as my practice is classified as 'pseudo-medicine' by most modern society. Here, where most of the populace are small horses, it's going to be impossible as my knowledge is useless as it only works on humans."
Celestia shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe, maybe not," she leaned closer, "you never know if you don't try." I rolled my eyes at her naive positivity, "Since you will be staying in the library, perhaps you'll find a book that can help you." A growl rumbled in my throat.
The princess pulled back her head and with a golden sparkle of her horn two objects materialized above me. "Perhaps this will make you feel better," She said and I instantly recognized the objects. It was my phone and headphones, the one I had given her just before she left for her world. The phone wasn't really a phone, sort of. It was an iPhone 6 plus, but I never got around to activating the sim card so I just used it as an entertainment device. When Celestia was slated to leave I gave them to her so she would have something to remember me and her time here.
I'm surprised that she kept all this time. Hell, it shouldn't even be working at all. The battery should have died long ago.
My human reached up and grasped the phone. I was pleasantly surprised when I pressed the home button and the screen came to life. I looked at the top corner and saw the battery was charging. Celestia seems to have kept in pristine condition. It even has its black shock case, and the red wireless headphones that went with it also seem to be in the same condition.
She must have magically modded it to always be charging, smart.
"I have been temporarily appeased," I muttered as Celestia floated over the pair of headphones. I placed my phone on my chest and held my hand out so the headphones could land on it. Once they did so I stat up and caught the phone in my free and sat it on my lap before I wrapped the headphones around my neck.
In the corner of my eye, I saw Twilight trying her best to get a better look at my phone. with a slight upward pull of my lips, I grabbed my phone and moved it towards her before I brought it away from her. the entire time her eyes never left. my smirk grew and I went to see how far I could take this, but a soft cough put a stop to that.
I looked up to Celestia with a smile to meet her unamused yet amused glare.
"If there is nothing else then we must depart," Celestia said as she went over to Luna, "If there is anything you need, Sean, send a message through Spike."
A smile grace my lips, "Well I have a friendship lesson to report you," I said as I brought up my knee crossed my arms over it and rested my head on it. Celestia muzzle lit up and turned to me with glee.
"I'm ready to listen!"
Aww, how adorable.
With a clear throat I began:
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that fear is natural and it's okay to have some but don't let it control you and decide your every action. Embrace it and overcome it, only then will you have the strength to move on. The best way to do so is to stare right in its face, and smile.
From yo friend,
SeanP.S. You a [Beep]
Celestia snorted with a smirk, "You're a twat," she said.
"Oh [Beep] she bringing that British English," I said as she and Luna disappeared in a loud yellow pop. "What a minute, that was cussing! How did she say it without being censored!"
"Yea," Rainbow Dash said with disinterest, "I'm going to go home and go to bed now," and pegasus zoomed away.
"Ah got to get back to tha' farm before Big Mac hurts himself."
"I, too, must return to my shop."
Both Rarity and Applejack said and made their way out of the library.
"I got a party to plan!!" Pinkie screeched and vanished in a pink dust cloud.
"Oh, I have to take care of my animal friends," Fluttershy spoke softly, "They must be so frightened." The buttercream pegasus floated out of the room. Only for her to fly back in and right up to me. Fluttershy then began to pet the human side of my face. "if there is anything you need please let me know." she patted my face, "Anything."
With that, the yellow bird horse hybrid left.
"What the [Beep] was that?" I said a little put off by Fluttershy's behavior.
That was little forward even by her standers. I mean seriously what the fuck?
...I'm reading too much into this. Fluttershy is just being her normal caring herself. She most likely sees me as an exotic animal that needs to be taken care of.
I looked around to room to see that it was only me and the Library Duo. The silence was deafening and it started to make me a little nervous. This was made obvious by bouncing of my left foot.
There is an awkward elephant in the room with me, Twilight, and Spike.
A wild Awkward Elephant appears.
"So, you know Princess Celestia," Twilight said as she kicked her hoof around, "How?" Obviously, the purple one is trying to start a conversation with me.
Awkward Elephant uses Social Anxiety.
"She broke into my house and woke me up," I answered bluntly wanting the conversation to end as soon as possible.
It's super effective.
Good job numbnuts
"Uh..." Twilight failed to form a coherent thought. Spike on the other hand...
"Ha Ha Ha," the little dragon laughed as he rolled on the floor. The purple unicorn glared at the laughing drake.
I looked outside to see that the sun was setting. With a hum, I got to my feet and grabbed my jacket. "Well I better get to bed," I said moving towards the bed downstairs. "I got a busy day tomorrow."
"But I have questions!" Twilight whined.
"Which will still be there in the morning," I told her as I walked to the basement.
"Can you at least tell me how you can treat Princess Celestia so, so..."
"...Normal, flippant?" I finished as I stopped at the door and I thought about it.
"Yes!" the unicorn said with a hoof pointed at me, "insulting each other and using forbidden words! How can you two be friends and yet treat each other like that?"
"Because...because," I struggled to find the words. Jeez, how do I explain this? Then it hit me. "Tell me Twilight," I began as I turned to look at her, "What is Celestia to you?"
The unicorn was taken aback for a moment before her muzzle transformed into deep thought. We stood there in silence while Twilight pondered. "She's my mentor, my idol, my.."
"Princess? Leader? God?" I plugged in, "you see that's the difference between me and you. You grew up with the paradigm of Celestia the Princess, the raiser of the sun and moon and, in your particular case, a teacher."
I took a deep breath and let it loose, "Because of this you guys put her on this high pedestal that no one can reach. I don't. I see Celestia as just that, Celestia. Not Princess Celestia, I'm aware of her royalty status, but," I held a finger, "I am able to see past that facade and see her."
"I can see her vulnerabilities, her weakness, as well as her strengths. I'm able to be there for her when her strength fails."
"She's the strongest pony in Equestria," Twilight said with an angry hoof pointed at me.
You know I'm really getting tired of that hoof being pointed at me.
"I'm sure there are many ponies who could help her. You are just mean to her!"
I smirked, "But how many of you call her on her bull-[Beep], and tell her how it is? And mean? Yes, I can be harsh at times, a [Beep]-hole even, but only to the ones who can handle it." I chuckled at a memory or two, "Besides Celestia has one hell of a sharp tongue herself."
"I don't believe you," Twilight said with a slight glare.
Tsh, [Beep] you then!
"I don't care," I told her, "I'm not here to convince you, hell I'm not even here to be your friend." the Element of Magic was taken aback at that statement.
"What!?"
With a rolled of my eyes, I turned around and opened the door. "Celestia is the only friend I got and need," I told her and went down the stairs closing the door, but not before I told her a quickly 'goodnight'.
Once I reached my bed I threw my jacket and cloak on my bed, and, with a tired sigh, joined them.
Slowly I began to peel off my clothes and as I did so my mind began to plan 'I need to secure a job ASAP. So I can get the things I need.' I thought as I held up my torn-bloody shirt and dirty sweaty pants, 'like clothes.' I tossed the soiled clothes on the ground.
[Beep], toothbrush too.
My tongue ran across my teeth and then crushed them together. The lack of pain was a good sign and eased the fear in my mind. At least a little.
A flash of yellow light and a pop sounded off on my bed. I looked to see a small brown parcel wrapped with a yellow ribbon, and a small tuff of paper sticking out of it.
Cautiously, I reached over and pulled the paper.
It said:
Sean,
I know you do not have much in the way of toiletries. So I'm giving you the basics and some bits to help you get started. consider this a gift...
I let out a deep breath.
It seems that everyone thinks I'm a die-hard independent I-don't-need-no-help. I'm willing to take help to get started, but I just don't want to stay dependent on others all the time. Perhaps I was too...uh...what's the word? [Beep], over the top I guess could work? But I'm going to be here for long so would it be so bad to mooch a little?
No! I'm not going to take advantage of their kindness and generosity just so I can be lazy.
You wouldn't be lazy! You'll be using that time to find a cure.
I'm not doing it! I can take care of myself!
I pinched the bridge of my nose and went back to Celestia's letter.
...rather than a handout.
Hmmm...
I also want you to try to make some friends.
I rolled my eyes.
Roll your eyes all you want...
"Tsh."
... but there is a possibility that we won't be able to cure you before its too late. If that turns out be the case then it would be nice to have that support of friends to help you. I will be busy for a while especially with Luna's return so please try. Twilight and other Elements will be a good place to start.
But that doesn't mean that I won't be able to help. If you need anything do not hesitate to ask. I will do everything in my power to help you. No matter what happens I will always be by your side.
So make some friends. Everything will work out in the end. Who knows you might even have fun!
Your dearest friend,
CelestiaPS: Your momma a hoe
[Beep].
A heavy snort blew out of my nose and I picked up the box to go through it. The box contained a toothbrush and paste along with soap. There was a bottle which I'm guessing was shampoo. A bag of bits laid at the bottom of the box. It was just like she said just the basics to get me started. I pulled the bag of bits out and set them aside for me to go through them on a later time.
Grabbing the toothbrush and paste I moved up the stairs.
Make friends she said.
It'll be fine she said.
I replayed what had happened all today. Everything that I did, including every social blunder and smart remark. All of this ran through my head, and as each one finished it left its knife in my heart.
I'm [Beep].
In Canterlot
"Art thee sure sister?" Luna asked as she got onto her bed. The Princess of the Moon was currently settled in a room in Canterlot Castle. Currently, the room was bare and only had the necessities, but once Luna had recovered enough she was free to decorate the room as she saw fit. "The royal 'we' is still in useth and what's this traditional Royal Canterlot Voice yond thee speaketh of?" The princess chewed her lower lip lightly. "T seemeth like the language as hath changed in the last thousand years."
Inwardly Celestia was laughing but on the outside, she maintained her calm royal demeanor. "I'll explain it to you but for now I think you should get some sleep, you had a busy day."
Luna said nothing while she swayed back and forth as she readjusted her legs, "What can thee bid me of this friend of yours?" she asked as she adjusted her wings, "Sean wast t?"
Celestia made a note to find a tutor for Luna so that she can learn how to speak in modern Equis. Luna has much to catch up on. Celesta then studied her sister closely as the younger Alicorn fidgeted trying her best to look uninterested. "He's just a good friend, he...helped me during a dark time."
"He seemeth like he is moo than 'just' a valorous friend," Luna said with a raised eyebrow her lips drew up a bit in a mischievous smile.
Celestia's right eye twitched at the accusation. "No, he's just friend," she emphasized with an antagonizing glare. "Besides what about you? Don't think I didn't notice the way you puffed your chest at him," she said accusatorily.
Luna snorted as she leaned back in shock, her blue muzzle dusted with red. "What art thou talking about?"
Celestia humphed at the response, before she sighed, "Besides, once the curse is lifted from him he'll be on his way home." She lazily moved her front hoof around and muzzle betrayed her and showed sorrow.
Luna took note of her sister's dejected stance. "How didst he receiveth curs'd in the first place?" she asked.
Celestia's horn glowed slightly as she checked the sound poof spell to make sure it was still in place she then looked to her sister, "From the same orb that your thinking of," she said slowly and softly as if she was still afraid of being overheard.
Luna's face scrunched up in confusion. "How long hast he been here?" she asked to which Celestia sighed to prepare herself for the onslaught that was about to happen.
"Six days, and he was enchanted on the day he arrived."
Luna shot to her hooves with her wings spread. "Six!?" the mini princess jumped off her bed and began to pace the length of the room muttering all the while. "How is that possible? Records stated that it took weeks for one to reach the state he is in. Even with magic aggravating it unless he is..." The princess of the Moon slowly stopped her pacing and slowly looked to Celestia with wide eyes.
"Thee didn't..."
"I..." Celestia began only for Luna to cut her off.
"Starswirl madeth we promise to nev'r use that spell!" Luna said angerly with a hoof pointed at her sister, "Not only didst thee useth the spell! Thee hath brought one of them here!" Luna wings spread even further in agitation.
"I offered to bring him here, but he said no," Celestia said trying to placate the irate alicorn, "there must have been an accident, or perhaps a change of heart at the last minute maybe," she muttered the last bit to herself.
Luna shook her head, "The point remains dear sister that he is here," she said as her wings closed, "when he shouldn't be."
Celestia cut in quickly, "Which is why he will leave once the curse is lifted." The princess turned away from her sister to hide her face. She didn't want her sister to see the sad face that she currently wore, "It was a moment of weakness on my part to even give him the offer. I must rectify it."
Luna narrowed her eyes, "T would seemth that at the rate he is turning he doesn't has't that much time. But thee knoweth this thee not, sister." The edge in her voice cut into Celestia's heart and she turn her head back around to say something, but Luna cut her off with a raised hoof. "Celestia I don't wish to argue anymore on this matter right now."
The Princess of the Sun let out a breath of air, "Your right, after a thousand years apart I don't want our first conversation to be one of conflict..."
"T's natural for siblings to argue Tia," Luna said with a small smile as she hopped back into bed, "but thou art right we shouldst not square even but now."
Magenta eye's misted at the nickname from her foalhood. "That is true Lulu," Celestia murmured.
After she got on the bed Luna found a comfortable spot and settle down, "I has't to knoweth: Why?"
Celestia looked to her sister noted that Luna is already picking some modern vocabulary, "Why I left?" she asked to which her sister nodded. "At first I was curious a whole new species of creatures that have never been seen by modern poines, I just had to see." The Sun Princess chewed on her lips as she mulled over her next sentence, "I overexerted my magic with the spell and I needed time to rebuild it. That was the only reason why I made contact. It was going to a short and impersonal stay, but after spending time with Sean I...just crumbled."
The monarch wings shuffled as they to wrap themselves around her body, "Ever since I banished Nightmare Moon and you to the moon I have kept myself busy running the kingdom. While I was there I didn't have the responsibilities to keep me busy, and so I had plenty of time to think and it brought up the guilt and regret..."
"...and he wast thither to help thee through it," Luna plugged in to which Celestia nodded.
"I see," Luna said as she used her magic to levitate a blanket over her, "while I'm upset that you did this...I can't censure thee f'r succumbing to thy emotions. Especially after what I didst."
Celestia went up to Luna and nuzzled her. "I deserved as much of the blame as you do."
Luna out a sigh and pull away, "Go, sister, it has been a long day for thee as well, but we shall break with this business about Sean on a anon date."
"Of course, good night ."
With the conversation over Celestia left the room as quiet as possible. After one last glance to her sister, Celestia closed the door. The Sun Princess looked to the guards stationed outside and said, "Make sure that my sister is not disturbed."
Both guards, a white-coated earth pony, and unicorn mares saluted to the princess. "Don't worry princess," the earth pony said in a deep voice that was modified by the enchanted armor, "No pony well get past us."
Celestia nodded her head in thanks and continued down the dark hall of Canterlot Castle. As she traversed through the halls the princess's mind was on the conversation she had with her sister. Luna's reaction was understandable, when she, Luna, and Starswril found the spell and where it led to their teacher absolutely forbid them from using it. The consequences would be absolutely catastrophic for all life in Equestria, no all life on the planet.
Yet she threw it all away not only to quench her curiosity but in the end her loneliness. Even after she returned to her kingdom. She made multiple trips in hopes that she would learn more about that place where her greatest friend lived, and each time it got more and more difficult to not to visit Sean. Perhaps if she did so she could have prevented his entry into Equestria. It does not matter now, he is here and she must take care of him.
Celestia stopped her travel to her room and found herself right in the middle of a particularly dark hallway. It was so dark that the only source of light was that of the full moon that rested in its home in the sky.
"Agent," Celsita said out loud. A pair of arctic blue eyes blinked into existence within the shadows of the hallway.
"Your Highness," the eyes said as they dipped, "I'm assuming this is about the creature that is residing in Ponyvill?"
Celestia nodded.
"We'll have it removed by the end of the night..." the hidden agent said only for Celestia to cut in.
"No," Celestia said with a raised hoof, "I just want you to keep an eye on him and report to me on his day to day activities."
The agent raised an eyebrow, "Isn't he a threat?" she asked inquisitively.
Celestia shook her head, "No, you don't have to worry about that," the princess paused long enough for her wings to readjust to a more comfortable position. "if anything I am concerned about his well being."
The agent pondered things over before she spoke again, "So you wish for me to keep an eye on him and keep him safe then."
"Correct," the princess said as her ears flicked backward.
The agent was quiet for a time and as her eyes narrowed in contemplation. "That shouldn't be too difficult," she hummed and her eyes flicked back to the princess, "I'm assuming you want me to be discreet as well."
"That is correct as well," Celestia said as she began to walk forward again towards the eyes, "You might need a cover story as well."
The eyes rolled with a snort, "Don't worry about that. Give it a day or two and I'll have my way in, easy."
Celestia's lips pulled upward as she knew what the agent was alluding too. "Then you have your assignment. I expect the first report by the end of the week."
"As you wish your highness," the eyes said before the blinked out of existence.
Celestia continued her journey to her chambers her mind still on Sean. She hoped that perhaps the rune she inscribed on his iPod will be able to ease his transformation. As there is no known way to reverse the spell. Especially once it has progressed as far as it has. She had already checked all of the text that was pertaining to that spell and she found nothing. Luna was correct in saying that it normally took weeks for the spell to reach the state that Sean was in and once they had reached that point well...
He was already a pony walking.
She still had a sliver of hope that maybe Twilight will be able to figure something out. The records were remarkably old and could have been easily misinterpreted. Her student has surprised her on more than one occasion so perhaps she would find something, but Celestia won't hold her breath. It would take a miracle for a counterspell to be found in time, but she is open to the possibility. Even if it meant that she would lose him, and that hurt her deeply.
Plan for the worse and hope for the best as Sean would say.
'I am so sorry Sean,' Celestia thought to herself as she climbed the stairs that lead to her personal chamber. 'I am giving you false hope, and possibly doomed everypony to oblivion because of my selfishness.'
Celestia respectfully nodded to her guards before she opened the doors to her room and closed them with a quiet click. Instantly her posture reposed to show the weight of her troubles that rested on her shoulders.
"I will do everything in my power to make you happy, Sean," she said to herself as her horn glowed a golden hue. her royal regalia was basked in the same aura and was lifted off of her. With a heavy sigh, the princess walked to her bed at the same time as her royal jewels rested on her vanity. "Its the least I can do for you after what I have done to you...what I am doing to you and the others."
Celestia cast one last glance to the moon, gave one last deep sigh before she crawled into her bed.
