Abohaty's P.O.V

"Thank you so much Glitz for all your help this week. Like seriously, I appreciate it!!" I thanked him for the fifth time today as we walked down the halls. I was walking him to the exit of my castle.

"It's really not a problem princess. After all, it's my job," replied Glitz taking off his helmet. His green hair spiked right up. I wonder how much gel he uses a day.

"And you know you can call me by my actual name, right? I told you that like a thousand times!!" He laughed.

"Well...ever since I became your royal guard, I've gotten so used to calling you princess, ya know? Because I don't think it will be professional for my job. Shoot, I still call you princess outside of working." We shared a burst of laughter.

And just like that, we were already at the end of the halls. I frowned a bit. It was finally time for his two-week vacation and I was totally not prepared for that.

Glitz, my royal guard for almost four complete years. We started as friends to besties very quickly. We met in Canterlot. I used to live there before all of the big things happened. He still lives there. Canterlot isn't very far from my castle. I live in a small town called Springfields. It's pretty beautiful here. It still was very upsetting to move away from my best friend though. But eventually, he decided to apply to be one of the guards in my castle so our friendship with each other wouldn't fall apart. I eventually saw a lot more from him and what he can do, so I decided to promote him in being my special royal guard. And I can promise you it was not because we're already friends. That would be unfair to the other guards who work here. I saw strength in him, effort, and kindness. He's more of a hard worker too who does extra tasks for me when he has nothing to do or when he's on break.

"Well um...I guess this is it..." I muttered looking out the castle doors. "I wish I could walk you to the train this time but Nom Nom needs me right after this so...sorry."

"Abohaty you know that's okay." My eyes brightened.

"Finally!! You used my name!!" Glitz chuckled a little before pulling me into a hug. It didn't last long but it was still a great hug. He looked at the watch on his hoof after pulling apart from her.

"Welp, my train is coming shortly. I better get going." He ruffled my hair.

"Hey!!" I yelped as he started running off.

"See ya, princess!! Tell Arctic I said bye, I didn't see him in security yet today." Abohaty nodded.

Arctic and Glitz became friends due to their jobs here. Usually, they'd chat with each other when they both were on break since they had the same time. She would remember to tell Arctic later because if he wasn't in the security room when Glitz looked for him, he probably isn't there now.

"Princess, what in the world took you so long?!" Nom Nom asked when I entered the main room. A few other guards were there. They were giving each other looks and reading the room before they slowly crept out the door. I gulped. I kinda was walking slow to have more chat time with Glitz and teleported back hoping that would work but I failed...again.

Nom Nom was my guide. She was a flying cat with a diamond on her head where her powers come from. Never questioned that because I found it so cool that I have a cat rather than a lame pony walk me through stuff I don't care about. But the only problem is Nom Nom is pretty strict and plays zero games when I play a thousand. That's just me though. I'm rebellious. But that doesn't look good for me whatsoever according to her. And I guess she has a point. If I'm becoming queen soon, then I need to act my age and stop fooling around. Of course, I know when it's time to get serious. I'm not that much of a rebel. "Abohaty!!" Nom Nom yelled. "If you are going to be queen, learn how to pay attention and show that you are interested. Isn't that what your cutie mark is for, Princess of Happiness?"

"To be happy about rules? That sounds fun." I said apathetically. Nom Nom facepalmed herself with her tiny paw.

"Look, all I want you to know is that we're having an important meeting in the conference room tonight in an hour. And then first thing tomorrow morning, I'm teaching you new spells that will come in handy for big attacks. Clear?" I nodded looking at everything but her. "So go, go, go. Get ready." I sighed, turning around and heading out the door.

Glitz's P.O.V

When I got off at my stop, I was now at Canterlot. If being honest, I always wanted to move to Ponyville or Springfields where Abohaty lives. Canterlot is a bit expensive yet I have the money anyways so I don't see any reason to move. I just only wanted to move somewhere less busy.

When I arrived home, my brother's younger Grammar was already sitting in the living room playing video games with three empty bags of potato chips on the floor. I groaned.

"Hey big bro!!" he yelled. He didn't even look at me because his eyes were too glued to the TV to even look up. I was used to it though.

"Hey Grams," I greeted throwing my armor on the couch and sitting down beside it.

"So how was work?" he questioned rapidly hitting on the game buttons.

"All good. Abohaty paid me double the amount today because I helped her out more than I needed to. And now I'm on a two-week vacation" I told him.

"Ew, I'm stuck with you for two weeks. That's crazy..." he mumbled. I rolled my eyes. "I'm just kidding bro, I love you."

"Eh...I love you too I guess."

"But she paid you double and you already have a good payment?! You lucky lucky bro."

"Yea..." I said. "But sometimes I feel like I actually don't do anything special and she still gives me so much attention. Even before I became her royal guard."

"Well duh, you're her bestie."

"Dude, that's like saying if a filly went to the same school as her mother she would be treated very differently."

"No shit."

"But you understand what I'm saying right? Like I appreciate the double payment she gave to me today but it was unnecessary..."

"Dude, be real for a second," Grammar told me, still playing his game. " Do you really think Abohaty gives a fuck about doubling ponies' bits? To her, that's giving away a coin bro. She's rich rich. She could pay you ten times your original payment and could care less. So dear Celestia, I pray that you didn't deny those bits. Never deny free or extra bits. Never question nor hesitate. Just take it and go on about your day."

Grammar kept babbling on and on and shortly my listening trailed off. I was now messaging Abohaty that I was home and safe. She hasn't responded yet, but I can wait. She is a busy mare after all.
