" Why does life hate me," Aroma whispered to herself.

" And who is that?" BlueBlood asked my sister.

I trotted over between the two unicorns stating my position," I am her brother, Graze, and what is Aroma doing here?"

" Why of course, she is here for dinner, are you that dimwitted?" BlueBlood said smugly.

< I don't like you, Kill doesn't like you either >

[ Who's up for kicking ass? Anyone? Me? Okay!]

I pulled my right hoof back preparing for a punch," Royalty or not, I don't give a fu--" My hoof and speech were stopped mid sentence as Cloud Chaser restrained me from making any foolish moves.

" Graze please don't mess this up, this may be my one chance to finally have a good impression with Celestia, she already hates me man. Please?" He whispered a beg.

Joy watched BlueBlood with detest < Today you live.>

[ BlueBlood must be thee luckiest pony alive.]

" Fine, but why does she hate you?" I asked curiously.

" Welcome all family members, esteemed guest and Cloud Chaser!" Celestia announced to which Cloud gave me a bemused look stating ' That's why'. " The appetizers are prepared and shall be with us shortly, please feel free to take a seat around the table so that we may properly introduce ourselves to one another."

Cloud Chaser released his grip off me," Remember Graze, don't do anything risky." I nodded showing that I understood as I trotted towards the table as did Luna with Chaser.

I took my seat being the only single pony other than Celestia as I eyed BlueBlood and Aroma.

' Remember Aroma, treated like a mare!' My sister thought to herself as she trotted behind the chair. Both BlueBlood and herself patiently awaited for the other to pull the chair out for the other. Aroma cleared her throat," Mhmm!" and motioned her head to the chair sending signs for BlueBlood.

BlueBlood mimicked her motions as the battle waged on for both to pull out the chair for the other. I got up from my chair about to curse BlueBlood [ Sit your ass down Graze. Chaser needs this.] And then I took my seat patiently awaiting for the battle to end.

" Honey, you look a bit tense and worried, are you going to be alright?" Luna asked Chaser who was sweating madly as his heart beat faster with every closing step.

" Oh, I'm just fine....Just a bit nervous nothing much though," Chaser smiled sheepishly and thought to himself,' I am so fucked.'

" Don't worry Cloud, everything is going to be alright, we're only here for dinner," Luna assured him.

" Thanks, I feel a lot better," Chaser smiled to her.

" Oh Cloud! Why not take a seat next to me?" Celestia called out," I would love to meet my new brother in law!"

' Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck,' Chaser repeated in his mind as he walked closer with the worst poker face known to pony kind taking a seat next to Celestia," Good day your majesty, how are you?"

" Oh, I am fine, controlling the sun, sending naughty ponies to the moon, you know, the usual," she smiled closer to Chaser," How are you and Luna doing?"

" Fine," he shortly answered.

" Only fine? I thought you would have treated my dear sister better than fine," she glared at him," Can I ask you a question Chaser?"

' Oh fuck, what does she want now?' He thought to himself," Anything your highness."

Celestia reached her hoof under the table pulling out a bag which had a label ' Banana Bag'," So Cloud Chaser, are you a mmmmbeeyetch that likes bananas?"

' DO I ANSWER YES OR NO?! OH FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!' Chaser cleared his throat and began," What happens if I say--"

" PULL OUT THE BUCKING CHAIR FOR HER!" I shouted across the table at BlueBlood.

" Ugh, such a ruffian! Are you sure you are related to THAT!" BlueBlood pointed a hoof at me saying to Aroma.

" I will jump across this table and shove my hoof right up your--"

" Graze...Calm down," Aroma sadly stated pulling the chair out for BlueBlood," It's okay, really."

" Thank you my dear pony," BlueBlood nodded to her as she too took her seat afterwards. I glared at BlueBlood showing him every drop of hate I had.

[ I will break all his limbs....TWICE!]

< What a douche....I feel sorry for Aroma> Joy stated.

Five formal unicorn stallions wearing black and white soon flooded the room appearing by each guest around the table, except for Cloud. They placed each dish upon the table pulling off the covers as the aroma (no pun intended) diffused through the atmosphere making Aroma, myself and Cloud's mouth to water.

" Excuse, but I think you're forgetting a pony," Cloud remarked.

" Oh no, the Princess has prepared something a bit more...suiting to your kind," one of the unicorns said pointing to a mule who walked slowly with the dish upon his flank carefully balancing it. The mule looked somewhat elderly and sickly as it came to Chaser coughing ever so often trying to clear his throat of the mucus. He used his mouth placing the bowl on the table and walked away.

Chaser looked confused at the dish and sniffed it, tears flooded his eyes at the terrible scent as he questioned," What is that?"

The mule looked over to him and responded," Oatmeal, I couldn't finish it all."

All of us stared at Chaser as he watched the bowl ever so confused, he looked at us in shock not knowing what to do to which we immediately responded by minding our business which at this point was our well cooked food. He looked at Luna who only smiled at him sheepishly and then at Celestia who smiled at him evilly," You don't expect me to eat this do you?"

" You can eat that or whatever's in the banana bag," Celestia responded.

[ DEAL! PICK DEAL!]

< NO DEAL! NO DEAL!>

Chaser looked at Luna back again and mouthed," Are you kidding me?'

" Do it for me, please," Luna begged to which he had no choice but to obey. He bent his head down towards the bowl taking a whiff to which he negatively responded to repelling away from the substance. His face turned green from the smell but he still ventured holding his snout and licked the oatmeal curious of it's taste. He had no choice for the matter fact. The taste could only be described as cold, so so cold as well as terrible, the texture itself was slimy as he continued to at least try to end his torture as quickly as possible. He immediately felt the food at his throat as his body rejected every last bit of substance, it definitely was not oatmeal but nevertheless he still swallowed it.

Chaser took a heavy breath as Luna patted him on the back comforting him. The other sister had different plans as she moved to his ears and whispered," Made it myself."

Chaser's eyes opened wide as he made a quick gallop to the nearest washroom. Nevertheless, he didn't know where it was but had no time to stick around to ask for directions.

-------------

What I only heard was Chaser coughing beside me as he looked as if he was dying from a choke and Luna who was patting his back trying to relieve him of such. I shrugged focusing back on Aroma and BlueBlood. Neither of us had touched our food as we watched the entire scene happen from the Oatmeal to the choking to now hearing our Princess' laughter.

I smiled to them from the other side of the table." Well the salads going to get cold, let's dig in," I said allowing BlueBlood to take the first bite.

[ You can eat salad cold dumbass.]

< .....No comment.....>

He slowly picked up the fork with his magical grasp taking with it a tomato and lettuce which he then chewed upon. His eyes opened in disgust," Ugh, I hate this salad dressing!" He exclaimed taking a napkin wiping off the food from his mouth," Here give me yours!" He traded with Aroma without consent.

[ Maybe where he was born that would make buck-tons of sense but newsflash buddy, we live in Equestria]

My hoof reached ever so slowly for the knife which sat so still with its cold blade lusting for the warmth of blood. Aroma watched as my hoof go forth the knife so she cleared her throat," Graze how does the salad taste for you?" She smiled unsure hoping that I would take the hint.

For now, I was going to play along so I downed my face into the food enjoying the salad a bit too much," I don't see what's so wrong with this!" I said with a smile after I swallowed.

" Ugh, such peasantry behavior," BlueBlood said rolling his eyes," That is why we are unicorns my dear Aroma." She responded to him with a weak smile, she then looked at me with a very unsure one.

" You got a problem with me being a pegasus?" I said after I had swallowed my food.

" Nope! No he doesn't! Isn't that right Blue?" Aroma said quickly before Prince BlueBlood answered.

" Of course I do, just look at how you eat in front of royalty!"

" Well, sorry for not being gifted with a horn, by the way, can you use that for other than wiping your ass?" I stated blatantly.

" Hmph, how absurd, can you pegasi only use those wings for erections?" He responded.

[ THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO FUCKING MURDER HIM!]

I suddenly lost control of my hoof being controlled by Kill as I picked up my plate of salad and flung it across the table aiming at BlueBlood. He quickly took cover behind Aroma as the dish slammed into her face. " Ha! Your attempt to make a fool out of me was futile!" BlueBlood announced across the table only soon to watch Aroma gritting her teeth in anger," What's wrong Aroma?"

" WHAT'S WRONG?! WHAT'S WRONG?! ARE YOU THAT BUCKING STUPID!" She shouted at him standing up.

" Ew! Don't touch me while you still have food on yourself, I do not want to look like that," he said pointing to me.

" OH! AFRAID TO GET DIRTY?!" Aroma shouted picking him up with a telekenetic spell," Well, let me help you with that!" She trotted across the table and to a window, pulling him back to add more force to her throw.

" Wait Aroma! Think before you act!" I shouted from the table, she looked at me somewhat a bit confused.

" Oh, how can I be so foalish," she facehoofed and then opened the window," Won't want anything important to break now do we?" I nodded in approval and watched as she flung his body out the window as if it was a ragdoll.

The two of us heard a successful splash as both brother and sister watched BlueBlood in a pile of mud with his mane disheveled, trying to pick out every last bit of dirt from his coat. We laughed as he continuously fretted over his looks which had soon driven him into tears. Honestly, we laughed our asses off to see such a douche get thrown into mud.

Aroma wiped one tear with her hoof and approached Princess Celestia," I am sorry your highness but I do not wish to be around your nephew any longer, he obviously does not know how to treat a mare correctly."

" There is no need to worry Aromatherapy, I have gotten many complaints about BlueBlood and his antics, I am sure you will not be the last," Celestia replied. Aroma then lowered her head as a sign of respect to the Princess biding farewell," It was nice of you to have dinner with us, I honestly expected more of your brother to deal with BlueBlood than you, that's why we had it on the first floor. He maybe ill mannered to mares but he is still my nephew."

Aroma chuckled at the thought of what could have happened." Well, thank you once again Princess, Graze and I have classes in the morning," Aroma said as I trotted beside her.

" Farewell my little ponies!" Celestia waved a hoof as both Aroma and I teleported off to the school grounds.

-------------

Aroma had now teleported both of us directly in front of Ditzy's apartment." Wow, that was thee worst dinner I ever had,'' Aroma exclaimed.

" Yeah, well, that's what I've been trying to warn you about," I said trotting away from the door.

" Where are you going?" Aroma asked curiously.

" I want to check up on Light, I just want to make sure he is doing fine. Even though he is an alicorn, the big guy needs some loving too," I chuckled.

[ SUPER GAAYY ] Kill said with his hooves by his snout producing a more of an echoing sound.

< Oh c'mon, you know that was a joke Kill>

[ The line has been crossed, he has gone too far away from the line, it's not even a line anymore, it's a dot!]

Aroma laughed hearing Kill's rant and opened the door," Alright Graze, see you in a few!" She then entered the door hearing this tune coming from a record player. She opened the door to find Ditzy on the bed," Uhmm, hi?"

Ditzy stopped the entire track," Wait, where's Graze?"

" He went to see Light, shouldn't be too long though."

" Great," Ditzy rolled her eyes," all this set up and I have to wait even longer. Why did we have to that lesson with the colts today? You got me all hyped up for nothing."

"....That's my brother," Aroma said after a period of awkward silence.

" And he's my coltfriend," Ditzy smiled," Don't play like you don't know."

Aroma walked backwards and closed the door behind her," I don't need those images, I'm going to play with Valkyria."

" Have fun!" Ditzy waved off alone in the room," Well, I guess I could revise a few notes.But that will kill the mood, meh, he shouldn't be too long."

-------------

An hour or two had passed from entering the Cross' office, small talking with my friends and Cross about Light's condition. Light himself was up for a while as I got a chance to talk to him, he seemed pretty well and knowing so, Cross would allow him to leave the room by tomorrow. Trixie herself had seemed as she had been there for the entire day worrying over Light as she was asleep by his bedside.

I only got a few words with him but Cross had told me it was time for Light to get some rest. I left the infirmary walking by two other ponies who were outside talking about a certain mare.

" -- And I was just walking through the halls and that crazy mare attacked me, some Vine-whatever," Grim said to Ice.

" Yeah, that's Vinetion alright but you must have given her a reason to attack you, what did you do?" Ice asked curiously.

" Nothing much, all we did was talk and suddenly I find two vines coming at me," Grim stated.

" Well, forgive her because she is still very sick, actually, she sneezed on me and looked as if she was about to faint."

" Shouldn't you be worried about that?" I interrupted both of them.

" Nah, I don't even get sick! So, nothing to worry about," Ice said with a bother," Anyways, I have to get home to Pinkie Pie, we have classes in the morning."

" I'm going to check on Vine, she doesn't seem to well, I will see you guys in the morning," I said trotting my way out of the room.

" Alright man, I'll leave in a few let me just talk to Cross," Grim said.

" About what?" Ice questioned.

" Well, firstly I need a job and I need a job that I would like, so I'm going to ask Red about being his assistant, probably won't pay much but I'm in it for the experience."

" Tell us how it goes, I think we will be seeing you on a regular basis," Ice said accounting for himself and the rest of us ponies.

[ Yeah that is true,  it's either we get our asses kicked or kick some ass]

< Grim is going to be one filthy rich pony by the time he exits this school >

{ Ha! Cross' salary depends on us!}

I waved them off and made my way to Vine's room. Soon arriving by her door, I knocked upon it several times and shouted ," Hey Vine! How ya feeling?"

*SLAM* The door quickly opened as two vines pushed me against a wall," Do you know how bucking sick I am?" Vinetion said coughing.

" Why do you think I came and visited?" I said with a bit of smartass in my tone. Yeah, let's just piss off the very sick pony who can shove a cactus up my ass.

" Don't play smart with me Graze! I was sick and had to clean your bucking mess! You think it's easy to fill up a crater and rejuvenate the plants? If so please tell me now."

" Look Vine, I'm sorry but we needed too," I apologized.

" No pony NEEDS to make a five metre diameter crater in the bucking ground!"

" IT WAS SHADOW BLADE! WE NEEDED TOO!"

" Shadow Blade? Don't you mean Light?"

[ Graze, remember, she was sick when you fought Shadow]

< Also, we didn't know her until after the fight!>

I took a deep breath and sighed telling her the entire story of Light and Shadow.

" If that's the case, I shall let you go for now, but please Graze stop making my life harder than Omnius'."

" No promises, but can you let me go now? I only came to check how you were, Ditzy is going to be pissed that I'm three hours late."

" Wow Graze, even I know that's pussy whipped," Vinetion chuckled," Well, see you lat--A-AH-ACHOO!" She sneezed a blue powder all over me.

" Celestia dammit!" I exclaimed.

[ OH MOTHER FUCK!]

< DAMN THAT'S NASTY!>

" Sorry Graze."

" It's fine really, don't worry about it," I said wiping off the blue powder.

" I need some more rest, I think I'm going back to bed," Vine said trotting to her door," See you tomorrow, hopefully."

" Yeah, you rest up," I said with a yawn," I'm going to, bye!"

Vinetion then closed her door as I made my way to Ditzy's apartment. I yawned opening the door with my wing and entered the room seeing Aroma on the floor with Valkyria on top of her," Hiya Graze! How come it took you three hours?!"

" Very, very, very busy night it's either a pony is sick or injured in this school," I said making my way to Ditzy's room," If you don't mind, I would like to sleep the night away."

" I think Ditzy has other plans though," Aroma said," Plans that a sister should never think of a brother in that way."

[ < YESYESYESYESYESYESYEYSYESYES! > ] Both Kill and Joy said holding each others hooves jumping in a circle in joy.

{ YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?}

[< SEXY TIME! AWWW YEAAHHHH!!>]

I quickly galloped towards the door and slammed it open," Your stallion has arrived."

" IT TOOK YOU THREE HOURS?!" Ditzy shouted from reading her book.

" You mad?" I smiled unsure.

" Very!"

" No sexy time?"

" None, you made me wait three hours!"

" Well, I guess I should just go and leave you alone to your studies," I said preparing my trot from her bed to the door.

[ 3] < 2> { 1}

" Wait!" Ditzy exclaimed," Are you just going to leave me here?"

" Well, you are vex, so I'm going to let you cool off for the night," I said smiling not looking at her. This was the way the game had to be played, if she had seen my face, all hope would have been lost.

" I change my mind, I'm not vex," Ditzy said quickly.

[ Reverse Psychology is a success!]

" Woohoo!!" I fluttered my wings making a dive onto the bed.

" But no sexy time."

< Awww, why?>

My wings hovered me over the bed only to soon drop me upon it laying flat on my stomach," Fair enough, can we at least cuddle?"

" Yes," she said putting her hoof around me," yes we may."

-------------

After such a long time searching for the bathroom, Chaser had finally re-entered the dining room when Celestia began her laughter once again at him.

Chaser looked at Celestia with disgust," One would think that the ruler of Equestria has more important things to do with her time than picking on her sister's coltfriend."

" Yeah you could think that but not really," Celestia replied.

" So why pick on me?" Chaser asked with detest.

" Isn't it obvious? The same way Graze does with his sister, to protect her," Celestia answered.

" There is no need for that, I will always be there for her and I will protect her!" Chaser exclaimed.

" No you won't! You are nothing but a mere mortal unlike Luna! When you die, all that will be left is Luna and myself! Do you think I would like to see my sister in pain and suffering? I AM DOING THIS TO PROTECT HER!" Celestia bellowed.

" To protect her?! You are caging her like a bird! Unable to live her own life and make her own decisions!"

" IT IS MY DUTY TO LOOK OUT FOR HER! SHE WILL ONLY BE LEFT DISTRAUGHT AND IN PAIN! WHEN YOU DIE, THERE IS NO MORE LOVE! ONLY MEMORIES AND PAIN! YOU CANNOT BE WITH HER! CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" Celestia said angered.

Cloud tried to keep his calm but Celestia had crossed the line with that statement," YOU DON'T THINK LUNA KNOWS THAT? YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT?! I COULD GO BY EVERYDAY THINKING ABOUT THAT BUT NO! I RATHER LIVE THE MOMENT MAKING EVERY SECOND LAST!"

Celestia stayed quiet hearing Cloud stand up to her, the midnight blue alicorn stood up and spoke," It is true that he is a mortal but I love him, he makes every second worth living and those memories shall be cherished, but for now, it is just him and me. I am nearly as old as you sister, can't you see that we are happy? Isn't that what you always wanted? Is it better for me to have loved and lost rather than to have never loved?"

Celestia was quiet once more as her sister barraged her with questions." I am willing to devote my life for your sister even during after death! Even if it means having to deal with you everyday, you cannot stop me," Chaser said in a calmer tone with Luna beside him.

The silence made itself a member of the conversation as no pony dared to break the tension.

" Do you have nothing to say sister?" Luna asked curiously.

A minute had passed of the silence from the argument," She has nothing, let's go Luna, I've wasted time here only to be ridiculed." Chaser then began his trot out of the doors with Luna following after a glance back at her sister.

" Wait," Celestia called out making the two ponies freeze in their steps," I have granted you my blessings upon my sister," Chaser smiled at this," If and only if, you promise and meant everything you've said."

" I swear on my life and to you, that I did mean every single word and I shall live with them to my name," Chaser replied to which Celestia smiled," Does this mean you would stop bugging me?"

" Nope."

Cloud released a short breath from his snout," Yeah whatever, thank you your highness."

" Please Cloud, call me Celestia or sister, you are family," she then teleported to his side and whispered in his ears," but if one single feather of her gets hurt, I'm sending you to the moon within a heart beat." Chaser gulped and nodded his head," Good, now run along before I call the guards on you."

Chaser's eyes opened wide and grabbed Luna," Quick honey let's get out of here!" Luna smiled and happily transported to two of them to Chaser's room on the school compound.

" Whew that was a close--Mmm," Cloud's sentence was interrupted as Luna firmly kissed him on the lips.

" Thank you Cloud, for standing up to my sister," she then hugged him," I can't thank you enough."

Chaser hugged her back and said," There is no need to thank me, I did say I will stand up for you, even if that includes your sister.....Let's just not go back to the castle for a few more weeks. Let's make it months."

Luna chuckled and kissed him again," I love you, with all my heart."

" And I love you too, more than you know."

Both Chaser and Luna spent the entire night sleeping in the others embrace, happily as a couple and because of Chaser's promise, forever a couple, even during life and death.

---------------The Next Morning-------------

I woke up within the embrace of Ditzy who was strangely smelling like cotton candy," Hey Ditzy, is that a new perfume?"

" Ditzy? Oh Icy, it's me Pinkie, your marefriend?"

My eyes opened in shock as I turned around watching Pinkie directly in her big blue eyes," PINKIE PIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

[ WHAT THE HOLY FUCK?!]

" KILL?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Pinkie's darker pink coated conscience, Pinkamena shouted.

< PINKAMENA?!> Joy exclaimed confused.

" JOY?!" Surprise, the little white angel of Pinkie shouted.

" GRAZE?! IS THAT YOU!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN ICE'S BODY?!" Pinkie shouted extremely confused as was everypony else in the room. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON?! Next Chapter: Messed Up Monday Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 39 Minutes
