Previous Chapter Next ChapterDear Diary.
Fuck you! If it wasn't for that bitch Summer and her lackeys, I wouldn't be forced to write on you with the threat of being zapped if I didn't.
Anyways...
Today is September the second, 2003.
Yesterday, after Storm put the chain on, we had to sit in the detention room until Summer was fully healed. Once she was ready to move, we were escorted back to our room in silence. Summer kept her high and mighty attitude while we walked back, and began to mock me and my scars despite getting her ass handed to her on a bloody, silver platter.
Aside from the brisk walk in the late afternoon back to the dorm. I figured that I was going to have a trip to town tomorrow to pick up some things from a store called, Madam Black. Back to the topic as I am wasting paper!
We got back to an empty dorm, and Summer went immediately to her new room to sort it out. Thank God I didn't need to be a meter away from the cunt, otherwise, I would have gone insane, or would have murdered Summer. We spent most of the evening away from each other until it was time to bunk in my room or be shocked. Blue and Aria were shocked that Maple had to move out and was replaced by a bitch that tried to force them to slaves, which she got a boot to the head, and one for Aria, because...Reasons.
When she couldn't lift a hoof to the others, she decided to clock in early, to my annoyance. She tried to kick me off of my own bed. Keyword: “Tried.” She was zapped nonstop until she gave up my bed and tried to lay on the floor, but the Emerald didn't like that either. I was zapped until I was on the floor with her, that's when it hit us. We had to share a bed we both groaned in unison. Of course, we fought on the bed until we were zapped again and it wouldn't stop until we were cuddling under the covers. Summer was absolutely pissed that we had been forced to hold each other like lovers and couldn't think of bad thoughts towards each other. We didn't fall asleep until four in the morning. Thank God I took a break on Wednesday from my routine.
Anyhow. I managed to get our stalkers to force Summer to come with me. So I'll see you later you stupid book.
P.S. Blue is the best pony and cuddler.

I put on my now empty saddle bags and was ready to go to town after writing in the diary about yesterday's events. Today, I was going to spice up my room, get some school supplies and I had to make a stop at the castle to check up on my land to make sure that Green Eco did his job with Silent Hill.
I wasn't going to have a bitch with a God-complex ruin my day, thankfully, I had Shadow Step and Light Step to keep Summer out of trouble. If she acts up when I'm at the castle, I have asked Shadow to squirt her with a squirt gun since that was the only way I can harm her and not get zapped. If it wasn't for the fact that Blue was going to visit family today, I would have liked her to come along on a date to get rid of that annoying itch, but I was stuck with Summer. So no getting laid tonight. Fucking cockblock that was named Summer.
“Just because we are tied together, doesn't mean you can push me around like a commoner. You should be glad that you are even allowed to bask in my radiance,” Summer said as we walked passed the main gate and into Canterlot proper. “Hey! Listen to me you serf!” she demanded. I groaned as I continued to walk to my first destination.
‘At least, she has a voice that was as sexy as she looks,’ I thought as she went on and on about how I should worship her. ‘Heh, if the cultists at Silent Hill were following my religion that I made up for them—With good intentions, then Summer would be kissing my feet or else I would have them sacrifice her to the God of Awesome, Kamina. By shooting her out of a cannon with her wings tied into the heavens.’
Once Summer realized that I wasn't listening to her, she shut up just as we arrived at our first stop, Madam Blacks Erotica Emporium, and look! Lockheart was walking out with a smile on her face and a skip in her step. ‘I swear she is the embodiment of the NSFW side of Tumblr...I miss Tumblr. I miss the Internet.’ Putting aside my thoughts, I saw Lockheart walk up to us with a big smile and spoke like she won the Equestrian lottery...If there was one.
“Hey, Kitten!” she chirped, causing a slight blush to form on my face from her nickname of me. “And Summer,” she spat, pushing aside the queen of no one. “Hey, Puppy,” I chirped back, causing her to blush from my new nickname for her. “What are you doing here?”
“Well~” She flexed her wings to wiggle her bag. “I am here to buy a few, brand new toys that just came out. I got to make sure that my arsenal is up to date for when a relationship problem pops up. That, and this toy is amazing,” she cheered. I rolled my eyes and asked without thinking while Summer and our guards looked at her and the store in confusion. “What is it?”
She gave me a wink. “Just a Japonies greatest fantasy with a range of twelve feet has twelve appendages, and has the ability to pump the tasty, artificial stuff in all areas.”
‘Mother of Celestia's cake fetish! That shouldn't be allowed to exist. Whoever invented that should be buried on the surface of the sun,’ I mentally feared for my life at what Lockheart had acquired. Such bondage power shouldn't be placed in her hooves, and she has five, always five. ‘God help us all.’
“Keep it away from me please, I like to walk for the next week...Or month,” I cheekily said. She gave me a wink. ”I'll keep that in mind Kitten. Anyhow, I'll see you later,” she purred, leaving my three followers very confused.
“What just happened?” Summer asked. “Why was Thee, Ruby Lockheart, the master of dating, talking to a rat like you?”
I shrugged as I walked up to the door to the store. “We were friends since Flight Camp.”
“Hmpf, lucky to be friends. I'm surprised she even lets your filthy coat around her, let alone call her a cutesy name, and what is this place anyway? Some sort of store for babies?” she sneered while the two guards had the same question on their identical faces. I gave them an evil smirk. “Why don't you see for yourself?” I said walking into the store. The three ponies, hesitantly, followed close behind.
Later…
Summer stayed quiet after our trip into Madam Blacks. The second we walked into the store, the little princess covered her eyes and had a big red blush on her face for the entirety of the trip. Our two blushing guards had to carry her all throughout the store while I grabbed a few thing's like; Playpony posters, a few toys for Blue and me, some ear studs for my right ear, a tattoo kit with azure and red ink, and a simple hygiene kit since I used Spitfires back home.
Once I was done buying the stuff, which the adults were fine with like it was a normal occurrence, we went and bought some extra school materials. Sadly, Summer went on a rant for an hour straight about how much of a whorse I was while in that mock version of Staples from Earth. It even was called Staples, but with the added, ‘Office Surplus,’ at the end.
When we were done with that, I told her to behave while we were in the castle for my meeting. Of course, she didn't believe that I was important or anything, and the guards had the same thought, even if they didn't say it out loud. I could tell from their rolling, unbelieving eyes. We walked up to the main gate where we were stopped by two identical guards in golden armor.
‘Time to show the princess who was the real boss,’ I thought as one of the guards asked me for some papers. I gave him a smile. “Code: Delta-T-36,” I said causing the four guards to gasp. “O-Open the gates!” shouted the guard that asked me for the papers. The gate opened in a matter of seconds and the guard shook in place as I gave him a smile. “Thank you, my good pony. Tell Nomad to change my code to the B-6 series as a civilian heard my code.”
“O-Of course, Baroness, Winter Rose,” the guard said with a nervous smile. I looked back to see if Summer changed her attitude, but all I saw was smug indifference, the guards, however, had their jaws digging to the center of the earth. I gave them a warm smile and left them behind.
Later…
“Ah! Lady Rose, how good it is to see you!” A green, unicorn stallion with an even darker green mane cheered behind a simple desk as I, and my company walked into the room. “As to you, Green Eco. I take it you have my annual ready for review today like I asked?” I smiled as I sat down in a rather comfortable chair while Summer seethed at me in the corner of the room on a beanbag chair. The guards were too stunned to move and stood dumbstruck by the door, in silence.
“Indeed, I do, would you like me to read it out loud for you?” he asked politely. “Please,” I replied. He pulled out a scroll from within his desk and cleared his throat. “First, let's talk about the mountain town of Silent Hill and it's inhabitants.” I nodded for him to go ahead.
“According to the report; Silent Hill is up to code in all aspects and now has a thriving, mining, farming, textile industry and economy. The township has a train station with visitors coming and going for the hot springs and adventurous, unknown areas of Mount Temptest.” He paused and frowned at the paper.
“Go on,” I said.
“The ponies that visit the town are a little disturbed by the recently constructed temple at the summit of the mountain. Apparently, there is a cult of ponies who worship you and preach your holy words. Normally, Celestia's Dawnguard would dispute this cult, but instead, it was left alone because it was harmless and their practices were said to be rather beautiful.”
I gave him a smile, happy that they were following my mantra that I gave them. “Anything else?” I asked.
“No, it's just strange that they hold a dance festival on the full moon and put all of Equestria's best to shame. That's all,” he frowned. “Then continue with the rest,” I said. “Of course,” he took a sip from a cup on his desk and continued.
“The second thing in the report is the financial and political standing of your land. According to our estimates, your land, which is now called, by Celestia, The Valley of the Wind. Is doing better than every single serfdom of the Nobles, combined. The Emergency budget and renovations are in the hundreds of thousands, the trade of raw materials from the mines are bringing in so much money, that we had to make a giant bank, to keep it all safe. The taxes you have implemented have caught the eyes of every middle and lower class pony, causing riots to have their taxes just like yours throughout Equestria.”
‘That's interesting,’ I noted.
“Because of all of this, you have become richer than Celestia, Luna and Cadence combined, yet you put it all back into the land to be used by the town, for the town. This has caused the population to grow from five hundred to two thousand in a matter of weeks.”
He paused to take another sip of what he is drinking while I cheered internally that all my changes were doing so well. He continued.
“Since the protests began for reforms to our current economic taxation, Celestia has decided to separate The Valley of the Wind as its own country to avoid political backlash and recognized you as, what the cult calls you, Empress of the Wind.”
‘What?’ My mind blanked.
“So, congratulations, Empress Rose. You are now the ruler of your own country.’
‘WHAT?!’
“Princess Celestia has invited you for your official coronation on December 21st. Afterwards, you are to discuss treaties between Equestria and your yet to be officially named country in the summer of the next year, at the Grand Summit that will be held at Friendship Castle in Ponyville...And that wraps up the report. Is there anything you need Empress Rose?”
I tried my best not to bolt out of the room and murder Celestia for throwing me under the bus, then falling castle, just so she can make me deal with her problems with the nobility as a public punching bag! Summer was absolutely appalled that I was now, literally, an Empress of my own country. The guards standing by the door fainted, while I was trying to hold myself back to prevent me from curb stomping Eco for giving me this bullshit.
I was no leader, hell, I hated the role! I always preferred to be the lone wanderer without a care in the world. Now? Now I have to deal with a brand new country that was doing better than Equestria in every aspect in less than a month! The only upside to this was that I could rub it in Summers sexy face as I was now on par with the Princesses in term of political power. ‘Arrg...I wonder how Spitfire would react that her little girl was now a leader of a new country? I bet she would have a stroke and go to a doctor to get her gender changed if that was possible.’
“Is everything alright Your Highness?” Eco asked in a concerned tone as my eye was twitching like a machine gun. “Yeah, I just have to murder Celestia later for doing this to me in order to get her fat ass out of the fire she sat on with the nobility about my reforms,” I said like a mad mare. “Anyway, is that all?”
“N-No, Miss Rose. That was all of it,” he said in a nervous tone.
“Good, now if you'll excuse me. I'm going to leave this room and pretend like the later didn't happen and head back to the dorm and not plot the assassination of one of our fair ruler's.” And with that, I left the room with three utterly shocked ponies back to the dorm and pretend like this never happened.

Dear Diary.
Today, I did not plan on murdering Princess Celestia after my meeting with Green Eco, even though I really want to for what she did. It wasn't my fault that the recently freed slave town would become as prosperous as it did in a month.
Sure I went with the whole, ‘tax the rich, free the poor’ thing. A pony who makes 160000 bits down there would be taxed at 40% annually while a pony who makes 15000 would be taxed at 5%. It is just and fair in my eyes at least. This system gives us a higher budget for social services and extra to fund building expenses. It wasn't my fault that using this system would work so well and since there was a fuck tonne of gold being mined, I figured I would go with the currency system that my old home used. So I had my own currency made which was now worth twice as much as an Equestrian Bit.
So I basically made my own dollar with a symbol of the Wind on the silver coin. Sure this caused a huge influx of immigrants that turn Silent Hill into a small city. Sure they were self-sufficient. Sure they had mine that mined metals that could cause the industrial revolution. Sure I made everyone equal and had the same laws as each other because stallions in Equestria can be publicly raped and no one would care. Okay, I was pretty much Gandhi to these ponies and was now paying the price. Fucking Celestia, can't fucking deal with your arrogant nobles and you just had to throw this on me to deal with it, didn't you?
Anyways…
Summer was quiet afterwards. She didn't talk, look at me or even stood near me. It was both great and concerning as her eyes looked rather defeated. Even though she was a pain in my flank, I kinda liked seeing that fire in her eyes. Strange, when I think of her I don't get that weird itch around her, but everyone else I do. Strange…
Back on topic.
Summer and I were alone in the dorm for the night. Blue was spending time with her family while Aria was having a sleepover with her friends at The House of Elements across the courtyard. We had pizza that we ordered, had a shower, and shared the bed to prevent being shocked like last time, but she was acting a bit strange. When I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she broke our little wall we made to keep each other on our sides of the bed and was cuddling with me with a content smile...I think I heard her mumble something about finding her special some pony, but I can't be too sure…
Anyways…It's one in the morning and apparently, Summer is going to a party with her niche of friends at a mansion tomorrow evening. She said that cousin Night was also attending, but she didn't call me a lesser or something about coming. Which was weird. Anywho, I'll see you tomorrow you stupid book.
P.S. Summer is really cute when she sleeps. I almost fainted looking at her as she curled up like a tiny kitten.
