Unforeseen Consequences
Chapter 6: Chapter Six : Dawn of a new age
Previous ChapterA/U Just a notice. I will be throwing out some of Jericho's traits, such as hating Celestia. If you have read Crushric's fic, then THROW EVERYTHING OUT THE WINDOW.
It was late morning. Fluttershy was standing outside Twilight's room.
Hello? Um.. Twilight? Flutteshy asked, knocking on Twilight's door.
She heard hoofsteps inside. The door's locking mechanism clicked and the door began to slowly open. It revealed a sleep deprived Twilight. Her bloodshot eyes tiredly looking over Fluttershy.
"Oh, hello Fluttershy." She said, forcing on a smile
"Hey Twilight. I um... Wanted to ask you if, um... you needed some help?" Fluttershy forced out
"I really don't know if you could help me. Ive been awake all night, trying to figure out this question. My mind has come up with no answers at all." Twilight said frustratingly
"Maybe.. You should have something to eat." Fluttershy said and put on a big smile.
"You know what? I think i do." Twilight said and walked out the door
She straightened out her mane with quick spell while walking besides Fluttershy.
They entered the dinner hall. Around the table sat Applejack and Rarity. Pinkie Pie was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh darling! Have you been up all night again?" Rarity asked
"Yeah... I guess i have. I have been trying to figure out this bucking clue." Twilight said with anger
"Ah know its hard, but that doesn't mean ya gotta curse." Applejack said with a grin
"Uhhh, I'm just so frustrated! The clue could mean anything. Literally anything!" Twilight said
Applejack was just about to say something when they heard hoofsteps coming from the door. A tired stallion revealed himself. He walked straight past Twilight and sat down at the table Rarity and Applejack sat around. He sighted heavily, hanging his head down.
"Oh darling, don't feel bad. There wasn't anything you could have done." Rarity said with a reassuring smile
He looked over at Rarity with a sad expression and began to form sentences.
"I... I know. But I feel so bad. Two of my best friends are dead." He said, tears starting to form in his eyes.
At this moment, Princess Celestia walked in the door. She watched Jericho sitting at the table.
"They are in a much better place now. They are now laughing with their relatives in the afterlife." Celestia said with a smile
Even though he still felt very sad, he stopped crying and lightened up a little bit by with that remark.
"Thank you Celestia. I needed that." Jericho said putting on a smile
"Don't mention it." Celestia smiled at him
The room was quiet for a long while with Celestia and Jericho looking on each other with a smile on their face. For a moment, Twilight thought he was going to run up and hug her. This is exactly what happened.
Jericho ran up to Celestia, burrowing his face in her coat. Celestia wrapped her wings around him and embracing him. This continued for a few moments until they parted. He had a big smile on his face now. Then he turned to Twilight.
"I think its time that we tell each other what has happened." He said
They all sat down around the table, except for Celestia, who had to excuse herself as she had royal duties to attend to.
Twilight and Jericho told each other their stories while Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy listened intensively. During this time, some food arrived which they ate during the conversation. It was late noon. Fully satisfied with the meal, Twilight turned to Jericho.
"Hey, could you come to my quarters? I have some questions for you." She asked
"Uh.. Sure." He responded
They walked off into the maze of corridors. Jericho didn't know his way around so he just followed Twilight. She noticed he was still hung down.
"Are you okay?"
"Yea.... No.. No I'm not... I feel like crap."
"I'm so sorry this happened. It shouldn't have. It was my fault." He said
"No, its not your fault. You couldn't have done anything." She said reassuringly
He stopped and turned to Twilight, looking into her eyes. She could see that forms were once again forming in his eyes. She put her front legs around him in a tight hug. She could feel the tears hitting her coat on her back. He suddenly pushed her away and pressed his lips onto hers.
She was really shocked, but she couldn't say she didn't want it. She had loved him for some time before this.
"My Celestia! This is my first kiss!" She thought
"Why did I do that? Why haven't i shoved her away? Is it because.... Maybe... I want this?" His thoughts bounced around in his head.
After a long while they broke the kiss. They simply stood there and stared into each others eyes. A smile crept onto her mouth. He couldn't help but give back a smile. She turned to the side and started walking again, with Jericho tight behind her. They were silent for the rest of the walk. Both their minds focused on the kiss they shared so intimately a few minutes ago. They reached Twilights door. She opened it with her magic and walked in. Jericho followed short. She stopped further in the room and looked back at Jericho. She had a smile on her face. Jericho walked over to her and planted his lips on hers, then they both collapsed on her bed.
-----------------------------------------The next day in the royal dinner hall-----------------------------
"It isn't like Twilight to be late. I wonder what happened after they left us yesterday." Rarity said with a grin
"Rarity, am sure that didn't happen." Applejack shot back with a hidden smile
"That what happened, they made cupcakes?" Pinkie was bouncing up and down with the giant trademark pinkie smile
"Ehh.. Nothing darling. I say, where is that breakfast?" Rarity asked no one
Right as she said that sentence, the door to the kitchen opened and out came a mare with several plates hovering above her. She walked over to the table and placed the different plates in front of the the group, then went a head and opened the lid, revealing the beautifully made breakfast. The lids floated behind her as she left into the kitchen once more.
"My, this looks delicious!" Rarity said
"What's the matter Rainbow, ya have been awfully quiet during our entire conversation." Applejack asked the blue pegasus who was in a world of her own.
Rainbow shook her head to clear it and asked.
"What? Did you say something?"
"Is there something troublin' ya, because ya have been awfully quiet?" Applejack asked
"No, its just that.... I can't believe that Twilight got a coltfriend before me!" She said with a grin
"Rainbow, we don't even know what happened yeste....." Rarity was interrupted because of the door to the corridor opened up and revealed Twilight with a giant smile on her face
"Alright, I guess we can safely that something did happen." Rarity said
Twilight ignored her and walked over to the table and began eating her breakfast. All the other mares stared at her, waiting for an explanation....
Twilight looked up and saw all her friends staring at her with expressions saying "Tell. Us. NOW." She cleared her throat and began speaking.
"Alright, I guess I should say what happened yesterday."
She told them about everything, but leaving out the fact that they...... you know...did That.
"I have to congratulate you, darling. I didn't think that you would get a coltfriend before Rainbow." Rarity said, directing a grin towards Rainbow.
"Neither did I..." Rainbow finally said with a bit of sadness after being quiet for a long time
A/U
I know that i have not updated for a while, but i do feel that i don't need to justify myself. I have always had a "black mesa source view" on doing things. Meaning that I will release it when its done. Besides, i'm working on a different fic at the moment. This was never meant to be my flagship. As for a teaser for it. It will contain all of the things under this line.
