Abohaty's P.O.V

I thought it was amazing spending more time with my friends that I haven't seen in such a while. It seemed like everypony was getting into good things.

Celia had gotten a job to farm at Applejack's. Kat just got a mini job of interviewing ponies about problems in Canterlot. Bella built herself a new house in the forest at Springfields. Written Script's books are becoming noticed. Gabe has been receiving multiple scholarships to help him pay for college at Canterlot and I'm still the same, being a princess and doing princess duties.

I'm back at home now. Nothing happened while I was gone. But when I was walking to get something to eat from the kitchen, Nom Nom stopped me.

"Alright, princess. Sit down," she ordered. I sat down and glared at her.

"What kind of lecture are you giving me this time?" I asked, folding my hooves.

"We found you a coltfriend." I gave her that are you crazy look.

"Huh?"

"You need a prince Abohaty. Every queen needs a king. And you don't seem to be interested in anyone so...Nom Nom found you a coltfriend." The stallion appeared when Nom Nom used her magic to teleport him here. Not gonna lie, he was sorta cute but didn't seem my type.

He had silky grey and black hair in the back, a yellow mane, and bright brown eyes with a cutie mark of a...I don't know what it is, but it was weird. "Meet Lewis...tried my best to pick one." I blinked.

This is unexpected.

We held hooves while walking to a nearby park. This was...really awkward and random and I was so not prepared for this. But Lewis was a pretty nice guy. We talked on the way here and he still didn't seem to be my type. But it's not like I had a choice. We both signed a contract with the rules of our relationship and all of that stuff.

"Since you were hungry, um...we can have a picnic out here I guess?" I put on a fake smile.

I wanted to eat alone.

"That's...very...sweet of you Lewis..." I told him. He kissed my cheek. I blushed a bit. This was kinda weird since I've never been kissed nor have I been in a relationship, but I am forced to get used to it.

He laid out a picnic mat on the ground and set everything up. Candles, food, drinks, snacks...Then he sat down and patted the spot next to him.

"Why don't you get comfy?" I laughed nervously.

"Oh, um...sure." I sat down beside him. But not too close. He still scooted closer to me anyways. I wanted to groan, but that was rude. He picked up a sandwich.

"So...am I your first coltfriend?" he asked. I nodded slightly. "Perfect!! That means I'll be your first kiss!!" He leaned forward and I leaned back, gently pushing him away. He looked confused.

"Um...I'm not...ready..." I choked out embarrassingly looking away. "Like...I kinda just...met you..."

"Oh...fine I guess." He turned away and continued biting into his sandwich. "Thought your job was to keep ponies happy. what happened to that, huh?" I felt taken aback.

"Yeah, that's my job, but...not in that way. I'm not even a romantic pony..." I looked down at all the food out for display.

"You gonna eat something?" he asked rudely. Why did I think this stallion was nice? The moment I do something different than what he expects, he's nasty and rude to me. How did Nom Nom pick him? Based on his appearance? Because that's the only thing I found nice about him.

I stood on all four hooves and Lewis was confused.

"Look, I'm leaving." I teleported away before I even saw his reaction. Nom Nom was waiting for me in the halls.

"So how was it?" she asked flying around me.

"Horrible."

"Oh..."

"It was like the whole time he was controlling like he suddenly owns me or something. Plus, aren't I supposed to be the controlling one anyways since I'm becoming a queen soon?" Nom Nom dodged my question.

"Well, looks like I'll have to find another one." I shook my head.

"Wait! Why are you choosing for me?! Isn't that my job?"

"Princess, do you know how arranged marriages work?" she asked. My eyes widened.

"Huh? What? Of course, I do!! But how come no one informed me about that-"

"They're usually a surprise," said Nom Nom, rolling her eyes. "Unless you already have your eyes on somepony, then I'll back off. But whoever this pony is, you gotta hurry up. Plus, the Canterlot Gala is coming shortly. You want somepony to dance with correct?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, you're confusing me. No one informed me about this Gala either-"

"It happens every year. You don't wanna miss it."

"Then why didn't I go last year?"

"Well you were invited every year we just finally decided to bring you since you're less reckless this year." I gasped in shock. "And that will be one of the times where you don't have to have guards following you every second of the way. I'm sure your friends and your royal guard Glitz are going. It's just that he will be off duty. Just know that he's there if you need him."

"I'm still confused though," I told her. "Why doesn't any of the other princesses have princes besides Princess Cadence if they're so...' important'.

"Princess Cadence is the princess of love, obviously she's gonna have a-"

"Yeah, but I'm the princess of happiness, hello?"

"Well here's the difference Princess. You're gonna be a queen, they are not."

"H-How does that make a difference?! Queens don't need kings either-"

"Well as a queen here, you're gonna have to be able to reproduce at some point to keep the generation of queens going your Highness."

"I still don't understand why I need to attend the gala with some random stallion I probably won't know much about and he ends up being a dick and embarrassing me in front of my friends."

"Because you already have a pretty bad reputation now." I looked around. "Having a fiancée would make you look better.

"Excuse me?!" I yelled. "What does that have anything to do wi-"

"You heard me. First, it's the not attending the Gala for the past five years..."

"Ma'am, that was your fault-"

"No, yours. You were very reckless back then." No wonder Twilight was talking to me like that earlier. I hardly have seen the princesses. "And lastly you have been too busy lately to hang out with other ponies and the princesses. And that suggests that you have so much to catch up on making you look weak."

"Well gosh, it's not like I had a choice to become a princess..."

"Just like I didn't have a choice to take your mother's place for you," she sneered. After giving me a long stare, she turned around and flew in the other direction.
