Chapter 6 Celestia's visit

A week had passed since Twilight invited me to stay at her place, and ever since then she has been acting worse than my own mother.

I was woken up early by Twilight, again, coming into my room as she has been doing for the past week and waking me up. "Wake up." She said, shaking me.

"What time is it?" I asked as I struggled to stay awake. As you can see I am not a morning person.

"It’s seven AM. Just like the last time you asked." she said, annoyed with me as ever. I went back under the blankets to keep sleeping, but she pulled them off. Frustrated, she quickly left the room. This gave me the privacy to put on my clothes and my cloak. I went down stairs to get some breakfast I saw spike making waffles. She has a kid cook? Wow.


"Morning spike." I greeted as I took a seat and he took his across from me at the kitchen table. He gave me a look before passing the plate of waffles to. I had a feeling that he didn't like me, but I didn't know why. I haven’t messed with him at all.

"Spike don't be rude to our guest." Twilight scolded him. He mumbled something before walking out of the kitchen.

"Whats with him?"

"Who knows?" She stated as we started to eat. After finishing I decided to head out into the town to do something. Spike clearly doesn’t like me being around him, so why aggravate him
--

Huxley was gone for a little while so I had time to prepare the Library for Princess Celestia's arrival today, "Celestia will arrive at eleven today." I told Spike as he rolled his eyes.

"I know. I was the one who told you, remember?" Spike replied.

"Spike, what’s with you today?" He looked at the floor.

"Its Huxley, I know he saved Cadence and everything, but does he need to stay with us?"

"I'm sorry Spike, but we do need to keep an eye on him for Celestia."

"Still, we haven't even seen his face. How can we trust him?"
"While that may be true, he did save Cadence and help stop an invasion. Someone that does that for no self gain can’t be all that bad, right?" I looked at the clock to see that it was. Eight AM "Oh shoot, I need to get ready!" I ran to my room to get dressed, properly. As I finished getting dressed I noticed that Spike hasn't eaten yet. "Spike, why haven’t you eaten yet?"

I'm not hungry." He walked off and left me alone in the library main lobby.

"I guess he really feels off by Huxley?" I went out to find Huxley, it was about time that he had gotten some new clothing sense. De has been wearing the same clothes underneath his cloak since he moved in. "That should eat up a good hour or two."

--


This was going to be boring! I always hated clothe shopping and seeing this was an MLP world, it was not going to make it any less boring. "Oh come on, please!" Twilight said as she pulled my hand towards Carousel Boutique, aka, the only clothing store in town.

"No." I said as I tried to get my sleeve free from her grip, but to no avail. Man she has an iron grip. After a few minutes of pulling I broke down. "Fine I'll go."

"Great!" She said cheerfully as we walked into the Boutique.

"Welcome to Carousel Bouti- Oh Twilight and umm, Huxley was it?" She asked as I took a seat.

"Okay, just sit down...I guess?" She said, confused and slightly annoyed.

"Sorry about him Rarity, we're here to get him at lest a change of clothing to wear underneath his cloak." As Twilight told rarity I pulled out a book and lost interest as they were talking behind my back about distracting me for an hour or two till Celestia came. People in this world must have really bad hearing if they don’t hear what goes on around them like that.

"Can you take off your cloak so I can take your measurements." Rarity asked. I unzipped it and placed it on the chair next to me and stood up for her to take the measurements. Both she and Twilight were stunned by my lack of concern about my hiding my face.

"He looks nothing like I would imagined." Rarity whispered to Twilight.

A good two hours passed and as I was not a very patient person after the first half hour I became less and less cooperative "Come on, at least help a little bit." Twilight complained as I obeyed, lifting my arms slightly.
"Done and done." Rarity said as she put the finishing touches on the shirt and pants design “You should get your clothing in about a week." She said as Twilight pulled out her coin purse "Twilight, I'm sure that Huxley can pay for his own clothing?"

I pulled some munny out and handed it to her "will this be enough. Or even acceptable?" I asked as she took and counted it.

"Yes this will cover it. Here's your change darling." she handed me back the large piece of munny. Where did she even get… How can she count it?

Twilight looked at me oddly. "Where did you get those bits?" She asked. I wondered if bit is what she was seeing?

"It’s not important." I said as I put on my cloak back on and started leaving.

"Hey! Wait!" Twilight yelled as she chased after me. "We need to head back to the library."

I turned to look at her. "Why do I need to head back to the Library?" She struggled to come up with a good excuse for me to come back without spoiling the fact that Celestia was coming "Is it because Celestia is coming?” She looked confused and shocked that I knew that.

"How... How did you know that?" she asked

"You should have whispered it a little louder, I don't think people outside could hear you." She looked embarrassed.

"So are you coming?" She asked as I already walked into an alley and opened a dark corridor. “Oh shoot!”

--

"Great who knows where he went" I sighed and headed back to the Library, as I walked back I saw Celestia's chariot pull into the front of my Library "Oh no is it eleven already?!" I checked my watch, seeing that It was just about eleven I ran to the Library where I met with the Princess in the main lobby.

"Twilight, how have you been?" Celestia asked cheerfully.

"I'm fine Princess. Thank you for asking." I said as I offered her a seat and she sat down.

"So where Is Huxley?"

"Well you see... I have no idea where he is." I lowered my head as Spike came down the stairs.

"He's in his bed sleeping Twi." He said.

"What?!" I screamed as I went up to his room and saw him laying in his bed "Wake up!" I yelled angrily as I pulled the blankets off him again. He is driving my last nerve!

"Hmm? What?" He asked, wiping his eyes.

"I'll tell you what! YOU have a meeting with Princess Celestia right now! So get up and go meet her!" I used my magic to drag him out of the bed.

"Alright, alright I'm up!" I let go of him and he got up off the floor "Why does she want to meet me?" I almost face palmed at his stupidity.

"I don't know, maybe because you saved a Princess? Stopped an invasion, and have magic unknown to us?!"

"Fine, I'll go see her." We walked downstairs and met with the Princess.

"Twilight could you, Spike, and the guards leave us alone? I want this conversation to be private."
"But Princess, we have guard you. What if he tries to attack you?" One of the guards said as Celestia raised her her hand.

"Well then you'll come in to save the day, won't you? Now go." As she said that we walked out of the building.

--

"Hello Huxley." Celestia said casually.

"Hi." I replied, taking a seat in a chair across from her.

"Let's get right to the point then. What are your intentions on this world?" She asked as I looked at her, stunned she knew about other worlds.

"So you know about other worlds?"

"Yes and by the look of it so do you." She said as she took a sip of tea "So what are your intentions here? We have had world travelers here before, but you are different from them."

"Well to put it simple, I'm planning on using this world as a home while I travel to other worlds." It was clear she doubted me with the stair she was giving me.

"Why not use your own world as a home?" I looked down.

"I can't return to my world. It’s gone." It wasn't a lie, I couldn't return to my world. She covered her mouth in shock.

"My word." To my surprise she came right up and hugged me. Thank god this hood is hiding my blush.

The hug was getting tighter as it went on and soon it was difficult to breath. "Could you please stop hugging me."

"Oh, sorry." She let me go, blushing as she did. Good so it wasn’t just me.

"It's fine, really, but why did you start hugging me?"

"Well I thought you could use some comfort after losing your home."

"Well I still have to keep the mysterious warrior look, so could you please not tell anybody?" I asked as she nodded.

'I'll keep it a secret, I promise" As she left the Library as Twilight walked back in with Spike.

"Well that was perfect timing." I said as they looked at me funny.

"Well, what did she want to talk about?" Twilight asked.

"Sorry, its a secret." I said as I went back to my room to nap. As soon as I his my bed I could hear the not-so-silent screams of Twilight’s frustration downstairs. My response was simply to close the door.
