Shadow slowly closed his eyes as he brought his hands to message his eyes with a groan.

'Now I have another set of sisters pissed at me.' He thought as he waited for the outrage to be expressed.

Shadow wasn't hearing outrage but mirth laughter from a single sister. When he removed his newly acquired fingers from his face he was both confused and a little afraid.

He saw Celestia had one hand on her sister's shoulder to support herself with the other held against her chest as she leaned forward and laughed.

Darting his eyes to Luna Shadow saw she was confused and still processing what he had uttered. After a second her eyes opened in surprise and shock matched on her face when she finished.

The look was soon replaced with one of amusement and predatory grin causing Shadow's heart to beat faster.

As his heart picked up its pace Luna started to laugh mirroring her sister's actions causing panic to start its slow creep into his mind.

Shadow tried to laugh with the two but the laugh was forced and weak, however the two didn't pick up on it.

“Oh my, what a way to start the day!” Celestia managed to get out between laughs.

“Indeed, it's a refreshing new way to start the morning! One I wouldn't mind hearing more often.” Luna added to her sister's statement.

This time it was Shadow that was surprised. It seemed that the two were taking his utterance better then he'd hoped and wasn't prepared for the outcome.

“Wait, you're telling me you're not offended?” Shadow asked with his confusion clear in his voice.

“Well, we could be but figured you were just trying to give us a compliment. In your own unique way.” Celestia explained as here laughter trailed off.

“However, it's not to late for us to be offended. Would you like is to be instead?” Luna asked as she gave another playful predatory smile. Shadow held up his hands in response before he spoke.

“No no, I'll take positive reaction over negative... ah, I just realized I don't know your names.” Shadow replied with an embarrassed voice as he dropped his hands back to his sides as he guessed he already knew their names.

“I'm Principle Celestia and this is my sister Vice Principle Luna, we're in charge of Cantorlot High.” He was informed as Celestia point to herself, sister, then the school.

'Nailed it.' He thought to himself before he introduced himself.

“Shadow Walker, rank and position withheld, sorry I don't know what I'm allowed to disclose.” Shadow told the two with a professional tone.

'Just what are our rank and position?' Other Shadow asked with real curiosity.

'Um, yes? I'll worry about it later.' Shadow quickly replied as he saw the sisters shared a concerned look with each other.

“Think it's safe to say I'm part of a 'professional' guard to help ease some of your apprehension.” Shadow reassured with a warm smile which did what it he said.

“Like I said earlier I'm just here to check your school for any potential threats for my employer, which I don't think I'll find any at your school.” He added with a disarming charming smile to further help ease the three.

Luna turned to look at Celestia before giving a half shrug and shrug to show she didn't really know what to say. Celestia say her sister's actions and narrowed her eyes at Shadow and gave him another look over.

“Well let's head inside and talk some more about any concerns your employer or self may have Shadow.” She told him as she held up an arm gesturing towards the school's entrance.

Shadow gave a single downward nod before he started walking aside of Luna. For the first couple steps he didn't have an issues before he realized something, well Other Shadow.

'Ah, how do we know how to walk around on two legs without issue and no real experience?' Other Shadow asked causing a hesitant pause.

“Why did you stop?” Luna asked turning her head to look.

“Oh, I just realized I'll probably going to get yelled at a whole lot when I get done with my return trip.” Shadow answered with a sigh as he started walking again.

“Why are you going to be yelled at for doing your job?” Celestia asked having caught up with him as a result of him stopping.

“Um, I wasn't suppose to come here in the first place and am here against but also in accordance with instructions so, yea.” Shadow explained as he started walking with both sisters and finishing with a unenthused raising of his hands and weak waving of them.

A brief silence hung in the air as the small group reached the entrance and was opened.

“That's oddly contradicting.” Luna commented as she followed behind her sister into the school. Shadow gave a groan of frustration with a roll of his eyes as he follow the Vice Principle.

“Yeah, I've had to deal with things like that during my professional career.”

“Guess I should count myself fortunate that Celestia is the one that has to figure those types of things out, while I just have to enforce.” Luna replied before turning to her sister as the three started walking again.

“Please tell me you setup the coffee before we left yesterday. I don't want to wait any longer for my next cup.”

“Yes Luna, I double check before leaving. When are you going to stop harping about the one time I forgot to set it up?”

“Once? Well it was once, for a whole week.”

Shadow zoned out as he thought about what he was hearing and seeing. Was this how the two alicorns back in Equestria? Or was this the opposite of the two princesses? Which of the two pairs had the better flanks? Could he get a cup of coffee? Why was he attracted to this pair's chest? Would the coffee be better then the guard's?

As these questions went through his head he followed the sister in silence to what he guessed would be Celestia's office.

After arriving in the waiting area in front of Celestia's office Shadow came out of it to see Luna shaking her head with arms crossed while the older sister was unlocking the door and gave a groan.

“One day you're going to forget to due something then I'm going to remind you of it constantly.” Celestia told her younger sister as she opened the door and held it open to let Shadow through first.

“Sorry that you had to hear all of that Mister Walker. My sister was a bad habit of not letting things go.” The Principle informed her mysterious guest as she stood in the door from with a playful smile on her face.

Turning around Shadow saw this world's Luna trying to get around her sister and failing to find a way. Shadow gave a small shake of his head and lazily pointed at the two.

“Um, if your sister is anything like me she's getting to get violent to get her coffee.”

“Hm, I don't know what you're taking about sir.” She answered with her arms crossed tapping a finger against her playful smile. Shadow wasn't sure on how to respond and before he could Luna did.

“If you don't move your big butt I'm going to start kicking it! I want more coffee!” Luna threatened her sister with a stomp of her foot and pout on her face. Celestia only lowered her hand as she chuckled.

“Behave yourself Luna, we have company, and you're just jealous.” she replied turning her head to speak over her shoulder.

“I am and I am not! You are! Tell her Shadow!” Luna retorted as she put her hands on her hips and leaned to the side to look past Celestia.

“Aaaahh, no. Last time I talked about a topic like this I way over reacted and freaked the fuck out, causing some interesting results.” He answered holding his hands up in a defensive matter. Before he dropped them he gave a shrug of his shoulders as he added to the statement.

“Like I said earlier I'd sleep with both of of'ya.” He said dropping both with hands and shoulders giving a coy smile to the sisters.

Both narrowed their eyes at him before they both rolled their eyes and moved . Celestia stepped into her office and moved to sit at her desk while Luna moved to the coffee pot.

“Coffee.” Luna said happily as she poured a cup.

“Now that we've had another weird and awkward moment I believe we came here to discuss a serious matter.” Celestia spoke offering Shadow a seat as he saw Luna add something to her morning brew.

“That's right, best get what I can done before the boss shows up.” He stated as he sat down in the chair to the left of the two in front of the desk.

Luna walked over to the desk and set her cup in front of the other chair.

“Would you like some coffee?” She asked with a tilt of her head back to the pot.

“Yes Ma'am, black please.” Was the short answer to which Luna gave a simply nod before heading back to the pot. While he answered he looked at the cup Luna had set down.

It was a light purple color with, 'mornings' writing across it in white. Shadow gave a chuckle when he saw that the word was being burned from the bottom up by black fire.

“It appears you agree with my sister when it comes to the start of the day.” Celestia commented with a disinterested and mildly annoyed tone while the sister in question gave a laugh.

The room was silent until Luna passed the plain yellow mug to Shadow after sitting in the empty chair.

“Now let's start what we came here for, shall we?” Celestia asked as she leaned back into her chair.

For about a hour Shadow asked questions concerning the school and surrounding area covering topics concerning security, school programs and standings; while the sisters asked why Cantorlot High was choosen and attempted to get more information out of Shadow. Both parties asking about several other topics.

Shadow was confused on how quickly the sisters were able to answer his questions and brought it up. They explained it wasn't the first time they'd had to answer question of this nature.

At the end of Shadow's questions Celestia offered to have Luna walk him around the school.

He accepted on the condition he be told where a bathroom was first. He excused himself and followed the given directions.

Before leaving the bathroom Shadow stood in front of one of the mirrors and finally gave himself a look over.

His eyes hadn't change color, he knew he'd lost his coat and had flesh in the same color, however his tail and wings were gone. He still had his mane but it was significantly shorter. It was just long enough to hide the gray beneath its mass of black and red stripes.
He saw it looked like he had gone four or five days without shaving but moving his head around he saw his neck was clear of stubble.

Looking at what he was wearing he saw that it's colors hadn't change during his trip to this world. At first glance it looked like it would offer the same level of protection but a second look revealed to Shadow that the area covering his arms and legs was smaller and probably thinner along with the pockets.

Looking over the chest piece it now covered a larger area with its size with the armor plate area matching. Looking closely he looked for any identifying items.

He still had his hello patch but found no name tag, rank, qualifications, and most importantly no cutie mark.

Overall Shadow found things were acceptable and he still looked intimidating.

After looking himself over he splashed water on his face and ran his fingers through his shortened mane in an attempt to dry them.

When he returned to Celestia's office he was told Luna would be back in a minute after she took care of something.

After the minute passed Luna showed up and started with the tour. They hit all the major areas of the school. While they walked the halls the students would part as they saw Shadow approached

The two finished back in front of Celestia waiting room where Luna departed to start her normal routine.

After Shadow thanked Luna before she left Shadow gave a resigned sigh as he hadn't seen any signs of Twilight's missing crown.

Standing around with narrowed eyes and furrowed brow he thought about what to do next. Before he could come up with something something bumped into him.

Keeping a single foot planted on the floor he turned to see what that something was. He saw a young local had run into him. He opened his mouth to talk to her when he caught the star burst and stars on her skirt.

“Princess Twilight?” He asked with uncertainty offering a hand to help her up.

“Shadow?” She asked taking the offered hand.

“Yes Princess and let me say, aren't you just adorkable.”
