Canterlot / The Crew, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna / Tuesday, 1:30 PM / Drew's PoV

Today was supposed to be just another day in Ponyville, until Twilight received a letter from the princess asking us to spend some quality time with her and Luna. Well, it isn't everyday you just hang around in Canterlot for a week with the Princesses just because, so we agreed on it. If anything, I wondered why the princesses would ask us to do so in the first place. So, once we got to Canterlot, we each split up in our own direction, looking at different parts of the city. The crew and I decided to pay the wonderful princesses a visit, since they were the ones who invited us after all.

"Good afternoon Princess Celestia." I managed to squeak out before getting rustled up by royal guards ponies.

"It's fine Captain, let him go. That's an order." Celestia said, sipping her tea while sitting on her royal throne.

"Yes ma'am." Was all he could say, he came up to me to apologize.

"Sorry about that, I'm just naturally overprotective. With me being an older brother and having a spouse now. Well, I'm Captain Shining Armor, of the royal guard." He extended a hoof, I grabbed it and we firmly shook.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Captain, I'm Lieutenant Andrew Goulding, my other name is Twilight Lightning." I said with a neutral voice, he smirked at my pony name, wondering why I would have one in the first place. Until I changed form right in front of his face, revealing the Alicorn side of me. Shining just stood there, speechless, until I gave a chuckle, explaining what had happened. He finally understood before going back to his guard duty.

"Well, I never saw that one before." He said, breaking his awkward silence, and then Princess Luna rushed me and tackled me to the ground, face first of course. I let out a groan as I got up, to be strangled by her, she knew that I was back from my coma, but this was a bit overboard.

"Hey, it's good to see you so lively princess." I said, messing up her, magically flowing mane, I don't know how I managed to do so in the first place. Princess Celestia, had just let out a slight giggle to see Luna so happy to see me again, I was like one of the few friends she had in her social life, others counting the Mane 6 and the Crew.

"Shall we get settled over a cup of tea?" Princess Celestia suggested, we preferred coffee any day, but since this was somewhat special, we agreed to it.

"Is there any reason to bring us over here on short notice princess?" Jhon had asked, he always knew when something was on somepony's mind, like he was a psychic asian or something.

"Why, yes. Actually, I was wondering if you would like to take up a job offer? I was wondering if you could do an escort mission. You see, Princess Luna and I are going to go meet with the rulers of the Griffon Empire to negotiate a peace treaty, because them finding out about Lionwings' death caused quite a stir." If it had anything to do with the Griffon Empire, I knew it wouldn't turn out good, but since it was for the safety of the princesses, The Crew and I agreed, since we do have the techno logic advantage, just in case things went south.

"Yes! The fun has been DOUBLED!" Princess Luna said, giving a righteous hoof-pump into the air. Delta, as well as the princess just let out girly giggles, plastering a confused look on Princess Luna's face.

"Good to see you take up that offer, we will head out after the end of the week. For now, you guys can 'hang out' with Twilight and her friends." Luna had said, making hoof gestures, emphasizing the 'hang out' part. I guess she was trying to fit in with modern society after being locked away for a thousand years, but at least she was doing it gradually, slowly getting back into the groove of things.

By the time we finished our chat, it was already like 4:00, so I decided to look around town, packing a huge coin pocket in my backpack, full of 100,000 bits, actually, we each had one with that much money in there. we were also packing our pieces too. It just felt good to have Goldie in my holster, like a sense of security, with us being civilian contractors and all, we aren't actually working with the royal guard. I had to admit though, we did do a better job than they do, consdiering the fact that we have better technology with us. I managed to buy a cloak, like that guy from Assassin's Creed, I forgot his name though since it was a 21st century game, but I looked pretty badass in that robe. I decided to purchase it, wearing it over the clothes I have on already, looking so mysterious and ominous. We had done little shopping while in Canterlot, we just looked around at all the stuck-up ponies that lived here, laughing at how snobby they were.

Once we had laughed our asses off, we decided to go check out the local bar, and man, was it huge! I had asked the girls to come along, but only Rainbow and applejack agreed to it. We were a few hours in, until Rainbow decided to go outside for a second, but it was more like 10 minutes. I snuck out the back, climbing onto the roof, getting a bird's eye view at everything under my robe. I was pretty drunk too, I had drank like 2 barrels of moonshine, everypony just looked at me at how awesome I was, I was still sober enough to understand completely who Rainbow was talking to.

"Quit it Sparks, we've broken up already! Just leave me alone!" She had yelled, but apparently this 'Sparks' person wouldn't let up on her.

"Oh come on Dashie, just let me have a little fun." Sparks had said, starting to kiss her up, with Rainbow resisting every last one of them. Until I came out of nowhere, taking him to the ground, knocking the wind out of him.

"Y'know, in my world, sexual harassment is a serious offense, you could end up in pony prison for what you just did." I remarked, Sparks just let out a huff and retorted at me, "This ain't any of YOUR business masked stallion, this is between me, and the mare." Rainbow didn't know who I was, I was still wearing the badass robe, it was covering my face, so she didn't see who I was either, I was also in pony form, because she would recognize me too easily, and that the robe only came in pony size.

"Oh, but on the contrary, my friend, this whole thing is my business, " I showed my I.D. badge, showing that I was with the Royal Guard, he didn't even wince at me.

"Hah, the royal guard doesn't have shit on me. Go buck yourself." He boasted, charging at me, I just side-stepped him making go crashing into the back alley wall. Rainbow laughing at him, for her own entertainment. I then grabbed his scruff with my mouth and started to swing him around, eventually letting him go crashing into the bar.

I walked in as he surprised me, hitting me with a wooden barstool, as I fell to the ground, he started kicking me. I mean really? This guy was a chump, the body armor under me protected most of he blows he landed on me in the midsection. I just got up, dusted myself off, and acted like it didn't happen. I levitated him into the air, now everypony was just watching me at this point, I decided to announce this to the crowd.

"This, son-of-a-bitch, tried to force himself on a defenseless mare. What do you guys think I should do with him?" I asked, everypony shouted, hearing the suggestions only closest to me. I had chosen one that I think that would work, I would change him into a mare hooker, and make him feel what it's like when another pony forces themselves upon another. Now, instead of a masculine stallion, he, I guess she now, is a mare wearing fishnet stockings, red lipstick, and a pink body. all the guys drooled over her, because this was permanent, or at least until I change him back, he would have other stallions force themselves upon her for money.

As I left the bar like a badass, just before I got out the door, Rainbow came up out of nowhere, thanking me, she was going so fast she blew off my robe, revealing my electric blue mane, and my gray, majestic like wings. Everypony just gasped at the now revealed Alicorn, the Crew, Applejack, and Rainbow just stared at me, in shock. I teleported out of there in a flash, with me plopping onto my bed in the temporary room, with me falling asleep, staying in my Alicorn form for some reason.

The Next Morning...

"So, let me get this straight. Rainbow's ex-coltfriend tried to rape her, then Lightning out of nowhere, swoops him up, roughs him up a bit, and then turns him into a mare?" Princess Celestia asked, while we were at the breakfast table, The Crew, Rainbow, Applejack, and I all nodded. The rest of them, just looked at me, I was still in my pony robe, the hood still on and everything, so I didn't know they were staring at me.

"May I be excused princess?" I had asked, finished with my breakfast, she nodded. I walked up to the window, looked down, and saw that there was a pile of hay, and jumped out the window. Everypony just gasped in the horror of watching me fall, until the rest of Delta that was still present calmed them down.

"I must say, Drew is quite an interesting figure. Isn't he?" Princess Luna had said, everypony nodded in agreement. .
They probably thought I was crazy, but I think I'm just that dramatic. It was day two of five in Canterlot, then I would have to travel as en escort to the Griffon Empire. I had decided to go ask Jhon about my little situation with Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Jhon, you got a minute?" I asked him, he told me to take a seat because this might take a while.

"It's about Rainbow, I like her, but I don't know how to ask her y'know? I haven't done this in twelve years, not since I asked Angela to be my wife." I had told hm, he nodded and responded, "Well, you haven't done this in a while, you might just want to ask her out on a date, I mean. It's what couples do when they start out isn't it?" He told me, I nodded, I was just so confused though, as if I was a noob at the dating game again, before Angela, the girls were all over me back at home. "Well, you're in this on your own this time, and I promised her not to say anything but, she has special feelings for you too." He told me, walking back into the castle, deserting me, I had so many questions though, what if I die? What if she dies? What if I were to get sent back to Earth, not being able to see her again, breaking everypony's hearts? I just didn't know what to do. Until I had screamed at Jhon, "HEY JHON! GET YO' BITCH-ASS BACK HERE!" He came running back, asking me in a unamused way, "What now?"

"I need you, to ask the princesses where's a good place to eat for dinner. 'Cause I'm going on a date tonight." I smirked, Jhon was giddy at what I had just said, running back into the castle, happy that I've gotten over my twelve, long, years of being lonely and finally, letting somepony into my heart.
