Previous ChapterWalking around Canterlot
I'm bored, I think I'll go chill with the high class.
Steve’s POV
Canterlot Castle
Today I decided to go in the city because Castle life is becoming boring, I mean all I do is wake up, have breakfast, chilling with the boys while they work, trying to not get caught by Celestia, having lunch, go talk with the Castle staff, chilling with the boys again, have dinner, go to the bar, chilling with the boys until we had enough drinks to not have a huge hangover, go sleep.
Oh that’s right, yesterday night, I caught Twilight in the library writing the book she’ll show to this dude who’s the dude that leads uh, the education something association, also he’s the bad guy in school daze, so I guess that the episode will start today morning or afternoon, also the other girls went back to Ponyville to check on the school, I’ll also drop by in sometime today.
“Hey Steve, where’re you going?” Spear asked, right now I was in the hallway with Spear who’s patrolling and checking the other guards for reports, his pretty good at his job.
“I think I’ll go look around the city for some clothes or other things.” I replied, I didn’t have any real objectives right now so i might as well go check on the city. Oh and also, when checked on it a few days ago after the parasprites attack, some of the people started to bow to me and worship me, I don’t even know why they did it but I guess that when you see another god tier being besides your casual country’s heroes then you might as well bow to it because it saved your family and friends.
“Oh right, if you go around the city don’t forget to have your medal on your clothes, the citizens are quite harsh if you’re a commoner so if you are acknowledged by Princess Celestia then you won’t get into troubles.” Spear said, it’s true that in the show, Rarity had a bad time in Canterlot in one episode, at least Fancy Pants is a cool dude, I actually got to meet him when he came in the Castle to request some things to Princess Celestia but because he’s a busy man he couldn’t chill with me, too bad because the boy is a good man.
Also, when I met Celestia this morning, she had this sick robe on which seriously looked like a wedding dress, of course seeing that I immediately started to tease her because why not? And she actually kept the dress for the whole day.
“Yeah thanks for reminding me.” I said to Spear who just smiled at me.
We finally reach the front Castle doors so I said my goodbyes to Spear who’s always supposed to be in the Castle because his one of the top soldiers, I actually laughed at him when he told me that but when we passed by some other guards, they all saluted him, he’s apparently the leader of the guards that always sends reports so his like the head communication agent or something.
Before going to the city, I took a walk in the Royal Garden, it was quite beautiful and relaxing, this reminded me of the kids from Celestia’s school that always came in the Garden to play, that’s when I knew that Celestia’s school was actually in some random part of the Castle which didn’t surprise me because the Castle looked like a birthday cake when you look at it from far away, I mean all these towers were the candles and the big chunk in the middle was the cake.
The statue of Discord was kept in the Garden, I guess Celestia had some ponies to make it because it seriously looked sick, unlike the Discord we all know, I mean just his look is not really sick but his powers are OP, the guy has a dimension for his home.
Now that I got my relaxing time I guess it’s time to go in the city, but I should do something about my look first…. Screw it, too lazy to think of anything and I don’t want to risk wiping the Garden with my crazy powers because I seriously don’t remember how I did all these crazy things, all I can do safely is to bring the wings out or the tentacles out, I also can call the hands but only one comes now.
When I came closer to the city, the anthro ponies were one by one starting to look towards me, because of that I had my back straighten and my posture more noble like, I mean it’s been a long time since I came in such a crowded place, so now I was walking like some high noble or something, I think it was called a Duke?
I also had a black cape that was fading to purple at the bottom from one of the Castle’s staff, I kept Maria’s clothes because it looks sick so now I had the purple tux with the purple jeans and also a purple cape, a true nobleman if I do say so myself.
“Mister, would you like to have a cup of tea with us?” I heard someone say from behind me, when I turned around I saw Fancy Pants with Fleur de Lis besides him, now that’s how you get a free meal!
“With pleasure, but sorry I only drink hot chocolate.” I said because I never tried tea before and I don’t plan to do that any time soon.
“No problem, we can deal with that.” Fleur de Lis said with a seductive tone, don’t mind how she talks because she always talks like that, also they were both wearing fancy clothes, fancy pants with his usual black tux and Fleur de Lis a light pink dress, that’s high class people for you!
“Please, take a seat.” Fancy said while pointing me at one of the tables of a random restaurant, I took one seat, Fancy and Fleur took the two others, now I knew that they wanted something from me because no one goes to a random person and ask them to have a cup of tea.
“Two cup of tea and one cup of hot chocolate please.” Fleur said to the waiter who obviously blushed at her, I mean when you have a women that looks like that and talks to you in a seductive manner, you can’t help but blush right? Nope not for me because I’m too into the way of memes to blush like that, I mean the internet can seriously change a human.
“So, what did you want to talk about? I doubt a noble like you would waste his time for no reason.” I said bluntly while crossing my arms.
“Hm, I actually want to ask you many things but first things first, let’s introduce ourselves.” Fancy said while standing up.
“I’m Fancy Pants, current head of the House Pants.” Ok, now I seriously tried hard not to laugh because House Pants? What the hell?
“And I’m Fleur de Lis, second heir of the head of House Flower.” Hm, her is more gracious and noble like than House Pants, also Flower and Fleur means exactly the same thing, nice touch House Flower.
“Nice to meet you, I am Steve, a solitary Lord, a title bestowed upon me by someone from a higher plain of existence.” I said, I want to cringe so hard because Steve doesn’t sound noble at all! Also, the merchant might as well be an entity of a higher plain of existence if he can send people to another universe.
“Someone from a higher plain of existence? Do you mean a Supreme Being?” Fancy asked, he actually knows what a Supreme Being is?
“It’s, very complicated, I won’t call this person Supreme in any way but he has powers over dimensions that’s for sure.” I explained, I expected Fancy and Fleur to blue screen but they didn’t which surprised me because not even Celestia could resist my brain virus nature.
“It indeed sounds complicated, ah, please to meet you Lord Steve.” Fleur said while making a little bow.
“Ah you don’t need to bow, we are fellow nobles are we not?” I said, lol fellow nobles? Hell no, I’m a freaking commoner but I got thrown as a noble in this world thanks to the merchant, at least all those years acting like a noble in my previous life would pay off here.
“We might be from a general view, but only royalty has power over the Lords but even then, the Lord of Chaos doesn’t always respond to the calls of royalty.” Fancy said, seriously? You mean that all the other nobles besides royalty are below Lords? I didn’t know that, I always thought that Lord was the title given to all nobles and that Duke was the highest rank besides royalty.
“Is that right? Then what class of nobles are you from?” I asked the two in front of me.
“I am a Duke.” Fancy said, see I knew the guy was not some lower class but Duke? My guy must’ve done quite a lot for Celestia.
“And I am a Marquis.” Fleur said, what the hell? She is? I thought she was a Duke or some kind of bodyguard for Fancy Pants, welp no matter.
“Ah I see, from my world a Duke is the highest nobility while Marquis is the Second highest, I would normally bow to you because I’m born as a commoner but when I was sent here I was given the title of Lord.” I explained and they both had understanding looks, I guess that true nobles don’t go blue screen, I guess they’re like loaded with anti virus, that would explain the weakness of Celestia because she seriously is from the nokia era.
“Hm, that would explain why you don’t exactly look like a pony, but may I ask where did you get these clothes? I can sense magic imbued in them and not many tailors imbue magic in their clothes unless if it is for protection spells.” Fleur said while looking closer at my tux.
“You have good eyes, but this wasn’t made by a pony and I’m pretty sure that there is no use for casting protection spells on clothes that I would wear.” I said proudly which got an one of their eyebrows to raise, I mean I have the body and powers of two demigods which essentially make me a god.
“These clothes were given to me by an Ursa Major and I’m guessing that the magic in the clothes is used to sew the clothes.” I said bluntly, now I was seriously hoping that they would blue screen but no, well they kinda blue screened but I could see that their anti virus program is fighting the brain virus.
“The Ursa Major, was it the one that came in the city some days ago? Then was it you that was on top of its head?” Fancy asked while trying to stay composed.
“Yes, it was actually quite a funny story, would you like to hear it?” I asked and they both nodded on instinct. I’m supposed to have a good time in the city so might as well talk with the good guys.
While I was telling my little story, I noticed that the other customers as well as the restaurant’s staff were listening, I could see all their facial reaction which was pretty funny, some were amazed when I told that I somehow got an Ursa Major as a pet, others were laughing when I told the reason as to why I ended up in the Everfree Forest, it was a good time overall.
“And now I’m here.” I finished, they were all clapping their hands when I ended my little story while whispering to each others too, I guess they were gossiping or something.
“Please mister, can you show us your wings?” One of the spectators asked, might as well show off then.
“Wow! They’re beautiful!”
“What beauty!”
“Can I have your autograph?”
“Please sleep with me!” Wait what?
Anyways, I was being flooded with countless admirer now but they were all sent away thanks to the restaurant’s staff, the only ones left was Fancy, Fleur, Me and the restaurant owner.
“Sorry for the troubles.” I apologised to the owner who just smiled at me.
“No worries, thanks to you my business skyrocketed!” He said while patting me in the back.
“Well, it looks like it’s the end of our discussion, I would love to meet you again Sir Fancy Pants and Lady Fleur de Lis.” I said bowing down a little and proceeded to go away after they said their goodbyes to me, I could still hear some of the peoples around the city gossiping about me, a good gossip like ‘How nice he was’ or something, good good, one step closer to world domination mwahahahahahaha! Jk.
So, now it was in the middle of the day, the sun is striking my poor white skin I preserved because I was a shut in, where did I planned to go? Oh right, Twilight’s school, how should I go there?
“Maybe I could use my wing because I seriously don’t want to go to the train.” I said before summoning my wings which were ultra sick, because I did that in the middle of the city I attracted many eyes which I didn’t really mind because I kind of like being praised, who doesn’t? Also a little anthro filly came to me.
“You’re pretty mister.” She said, kids innocence can seriously break hearts, I think only Fluttershy kept this innocence.
“Thank you but can you back away, I will do something dangerous.” I said loud enough for the other ponies to hear and they all backed away with one of the mares taking the filly.
So, how do I do that? Do I just Focus? Of course I do! So I Focused and soon enough I started to levitate without the wings flapping, so sick, I also noticed that all the witness were in awe before my display, I seriously love to show off in this world, I also noticed that I started to glow more and more as I went up in the sky and when I stopped, I was literally a big light bulb now, I turned myself to look at the direction of Ponyville and I willed myself to fly there, and when I started to fly there I noticed that I was going incredibly fast because I did like five sonic boom in a row, I don’t even how that’s possible.
I didn’t even got to look around the world that I was already in front of Twilight’s Castle.
“What the hell.” I said but I wasn’t the only one to say that because RD said the same thing when she got here.
“Was that you?” She said while pointing at the trail of light behind me.
“Yes.” I said honestly.
“Seriously? You flew from Canterlot all the way here?” She said with her jaw on the floor.
“Yeah, I didn’t even expect that too, I didn’t even get to look at the scenery!” I exclaimed while dramatically kneeling on the ground.
“Dude we already have Rarity, also what’s with the clothes?” She asked.
“Oh I was chilling with the ponies at Canterlot but because they’re all high class whatever I had to put these on, they were the only things that looked at least high class.” I said which got a nod from RD, she’s weirdly nice today.
“Say, weren’t you supposed to prepare the school?” I asked.
“No, I mean yes, I mean, Twilight is not even there yet!” She said, you mean that Twilight didn’t have time to get here even if I got the time to tell a story to the people at Canterlot? How long was her interview with chancellor whatever?
“Nevermind, the train’s coming.” She said while pointing at Ponyville’s train station and sure enough, the train was coming here.
“Welp, let’s go welcome her then.” I said while walking over the train station with RD.
My suspicion were proven, RD is nicer today, what the hell? I got to keep up a conversation with her even though she’s supposed to suspect me. Also Ponyville was as lively as always, I even saw many of the fans favourite ponies like Lyra, BonBon, Doctor Whooves, Derpy and many other anthro ponies.
“And that’s how Flash Magnus saved his comrades!” RD exclaimed while flying up and doing some tricks.
“Damn, the dude’s OP, and you said you saved him from Limbo? Nice work, kind of expected it from the fastest flyer.” I said making her proud af, I mean why should I strip her of her pride? She already got roasted by her friends when they were Mare do Well.
“That’s right! We need to have a race because I can’t believe you flew from Canterlot to here faster than the train!” She said, oh hell no, I can’t even control properly my own powers so I don’t want to rip the fabric of reality with only speed.
“Maybe later but now we have to welcome Twilight, I mean the girl worked hardcore yesterday and today she had to face the higher up that manage the school.” I said while pointing at the train station with the other main 6 waiting there.
“RD! Where’ve you been?” I heard Applejack say when she saw saw us coming.
“Steve, you’re here too?” She continued and I waved at her.
“Yeah, I flew here.” I said while showing my sick wings, but unlike the other ponies she just sighed, the other girls noticed us too and started to greet us.
“Good Morning Steve, you are well clothed today, may I ask why?” Rarity asked while blushing a little, why though? Why you blushing? I have my dose of blushes already.
“Because I was walking around Canterlot, I was bored and I ended up with Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis, we were talking about life and how I got here, pretty chill.” I said but Rarity wasn’t even listening because she fainted.
“Oh… um… Hello Steve.” Fluttershy said with a heartbreaking smile. SOMEONE PRESERVE THAT SMILE!
“Hello Fluttershy.” I said while smiling the same way, our little smile communication was soon broken when Pinkie Pie jumped on me from out of nowhere.
“HEYA STEVE HOW’RE YOU DOING?” She exclaimed while hugging me, are you sure she’s just a pony? Because that’s Alicorn level strength.
“I-I’m fine b-but I might d-die if you don’t l-let go of me.” I tried to say while desperately gasping for air, Pinkie let go of me while doing a sheepish smile.
“Oof, I swear Celestia didn’t hug with that much strength.” I said making all the girls gasp.
“Y-you, hugged Celestia?” Flutters asked with a shocked face.
“No, she hugged me and I didn’t ask for it.” I said which made them all blue screen, good thing that we were the only one in the station because I’m pretty sure that bad gossip will come if not.
While they were blue screening, the train was already there and I saw Twilight come out of it with the big book that was five time the size of a dictionary.
“Hi Twilight.” I said while waving at her, she came our way and immediately glared at me when she noticed her friends blue screening.
“What did you do?” She asked still glaring at me.
“I just told them that Celestia hugged me without my consent.” I said and she immediately blue screened herself, I mean Celestia hugged me when I slept in her room but I don’t think I can tell them that just yet.
“Oh boy, this is going to be a very busy school day.”
