“What the fuck happened?!” I screamed at Doctor Love, holding him down on the bed, as Saki, who had woken up to my screams, was equally confused as I was. When I said, that Canterlot would’ve heard, they would’ve, if the room was not soundproof! The brown Unicorn looked up at me, grinning from ear to ear before speaking.

“Internally processed nutritionally-drained biological output happened.” My left eye twitched, my hooves shaking slightly as he kept on grinning, before I heard Saki asked.

“Um…what?” she asked as the unicorn then answered.

“Shit happened,” he smiled more as I released him, yelping as I fell over, my rear hurting. “Better be careful there Brighty Lighty,” I heard him call out. “The first time is always the worst!” I turned my head over, giving him the darkest look I could possible make, he only grinned, going for his top which was on the floor. I only watched, groaning as I sat back on the bed, as he fixed his suit, and his bowtie on.

I looked to Saki, she was equally confused on what happened, truly, I would’ve thought that he was just playing with us, but with my rear hurting…and the weird taste in my mouth…well… “Okay then,” I answered glaring at the whore-stallion. “Explain…how did you make us black out then?”

“Drugged you,” he said as casually as ever. “Not so sure how much I put into the wine and food…I put the stuff in one of them, forgot which one, so I put more in the two of them!”

“You could’ve killed us with overdose!” Saki yelled out at him as he turned to her and smiled.

“Could’ve, would’ve…but didn’t!” he proclaimed as I rolled my eyes slightly. “And I told you two, I wanted sexy threesome, and I got it!”

“I wish he was just joking…” Saki spoke as I looked to her.

“What do you mean?”

“Well…” she trailed off. “Even though I was blacked out, I could still, you know, feel the love that was in the room…it got big…very big.”

“Oh…crap…” I muttered.

“Yup!” the unicorn answered. “And Light, didn’t know you liked getting your neck bitten?”

“Shut up!” he only smiled and walked around the room, going to the basket and pulling out something in a bottle, he started to spray it, a freshness filled the room, leaving all trace of the musk, from what I knew it was; to leave.

I sat on the bed still, my right hoof going to rub at my flank, colt, did it hurt; a lot too. I mean, I could barely move without a burning feeling running up my back! Saki came over and looked up to me as I looked down at her. “It will pass,” she told me. “Trust me… a lot of the males I’ve been with before you, seemed to like anal a lot.”

“Ugh…” I offered my answer as I looked away, blushing from embarrassment. “I…how is it that you are taking this better then me?!”

“Remember when I told you that sex was a evil way for me to get the ‘food’ I needed to live?” I nodded my head. “Even though this was not without or consent and such, and pretty much rape,” she turned to glare at Doc as well, as he looked back and waved his hoof. “It was…a rather filling meal.”

“I say I did more of the filling,”

“SHUT UP!” we both yelled at him as he only chuckled.

“How did somepony like you anyway,” Saki asked looking at him. “Become second in command of the Black Light in the first place?” he stopped, once he packed everything.

“Oh, that’s easy,” he then cleared his throat with his eyes closed. When he reopened them…it was like he was a changed pony, his eyes were half closed, blacken even more some how. It looked like he didn’t even care about anypony at all. “I stopped kidding around,” even his voice was darkened! He then broke into a large grin and went back to doing whatever.

“That…was kinda scary,” Saki answered as I nodded. “How do you think he would’ve fought if he wasn’t kidding with Cocoon?”

“She be dead,” we heard him answer. “Her head rolling on the ground and her body like mash potatoes,”

“Thanks…for the image…”

“Anytime!” he answered as he then brought the basket to a hover beside him. “Whelp!” he answered out with a crack of his neck. “Imma start work on my shop, I just got the deed to this nice two story one. The main floor is where ill sell the sexy clothing, the bottom…” he gave us a large grin. “Let’s just say, I’ll need to sound proof it.” we watched as he knocked on the door, the door opened as he waved; it slammed shut.

After nearly a hour, and my rear feeling…a bit better I was now laying on my back, the book floating beside me with my magic, hrm…seeing hwo I had nothing better to do at the moment, Saki; sleeping like a log, I decided to get off the bed, sit on the floor, and start once more.

Month 6: Week 3: Day 7

It was the day that we and many ponies have waited for, the Grand Galloping Gala. Me and Saki, were not at the moment, making our way over toward the castle, her, wearing the Changeling like dress, with her being as Cloud Dasher. Really…I wish that she could’ve been herself, truly I did. But I would hate it, what would happen if she did come as her true self. I myself, had decided to go with a different suit then what I had first thought of. Seeing how she was going as Changeling black, I had decided to go snow white. The sleeves of the tux went toward where my hooves would be, golden yellow cuffs were there at the end. Near my chest area, the top opened up, the outline of such, a dark navy blue. I wore a black tie, which I would grab at times, seeing how Saki here made it too tight, and I had to loosen it. My left eye had healed rather quickly, seeing how they also used a cream that would own the swelling as well, my eye was still a bit black, but you would have to look very closely to see the outline of it. “Will you stop messing around with it?” I heard her hiss from beside me. I looked over, her main was straighten out, the middle of her forehead, was split with her hair, like a upside down V.
“You made it too tight!” I whined as she came back over and fixed it. “And beside…I hate wearing stuff like this…makes me feel…I don’t know…snotty,” she only rolled her eyes at me as she went on ahead as I followed. “It does! Why couldn’t at least wear my sword, I mean, it would make me look somewhat noble.”
“You are on a day off, and beside,” she turned to look at me. “What could happen?”
“In all the confusions, something bad happens that would need a blade to solve?” I looked over at her as I said this…and really…I had a good reason why I thought of this.

(Flash back)

After getting out of the hospital the next day, and showing the princesses that I was fit for duty, I was back to work the day after, Eclipse, was being held in his cell. He was waiting for his trail; for many thought of him as a hard working guard pony, who couldn’t harm a fly! Colt…how they were wrong. Princess Celestia made it my prime job to watch over him, to make sure that nothing happens. Many of the guards, now knowing what he had done, wished for him to just be put to an end. In a sense…I was keeping HIM safe. I remembered one day, a week after I was watching over him, the talk we had.

“I’m going to get out of her Lighting,” I heard him growl at me, as I was leaning on the wall on the other side, where I could easily see him. He was a mess, he hadn’t been in a bath since put here, and he refused it really; seeing how he had to be watched. One Lunar Guard and a Celestia Guard stood on ether side of his cell door, he couldn’t see them, but they were there, at the ready with their spears. “And when I do, you and that bitch will pay!”
“I highly doubt that,” I answered as I bore my second in command armor; it was now done, leaving me with a golden chest plate that wasn’t as bulky as my own one. I also now had shin guards. My back legs were also covered, the star marking on my chest plate like my old one. My helm, off on the table. My sword was close, strapped to my side, ready for me to draw it at a moment notice. “I have guards station at every hall way, every door, watching, making sure that even if you did get out; you would be caught.
“You have no idea what I can do…or do you?” he gave me this look, causing me to narrow my eyes slightly as I stood up straight to walk over, the guards straightened up a bit as a came closer, me closer to the bars before saying.
“Stallions…leave us be for a moment,”
“Sir?” one of them asked as I looked at him and nodded.
“I’ll be fine,” I told him. “Go,” I nudged toward the door as he nodded, giving a small salute and walking off with the other. Once I heard the echoing boom of the door being closed, I looked back at the captive pony and whispered. “So I was right then…” I said. “It’s you…Fang,”

I watched as a sly grin came over his muzzle, his body shuddering before a green flash of fire came over him, a Changeling now standing where the Lunar Guard once was. “Catch on rather quick, for a pony.”
“How long have you’ve been like this?”
“If you must known, a bit before I killed that bitch Saki called…Granny…ugh,” he made a puking sound. “How can a Changeling think of ponies as more then food?!”
“You bastard…” I growled softly in my own way as he chuckled. “You claimed that you wanted Saki as your lover, and yet you killed somepony she loved?!”
“Tsk,” he sucked in the air and then grinned at me. “Who do you think gave me the order to kill he bitch?” I thought for a moment, he was talking about Saki, but then…it can clear to me.
“Chrysalis…” I muttered while looking away. That’s when I remembered, she told me herself that she had Changelings here, watching…listening. Maybe she was keeping tabs on Saki, and wanted to try and make her turn on ponies once more. Making her think that guards could get away with anything. Guess it didn’t work as she had planed. “And you were trying to get the necklace?”
“Little added bonus,” he answered with a shrug. ‘Seeing how she wouldn’t give it up, decided to make her suffer more then what I was told to do.” I said nothing as he then said. “What, going to tell on me, tell your lovely little Saki what I said?”
“No,” I answered as he gave me a look. “I know if I tell her what I learned, she’ll come here to kill you, and no doubt kill everypony else here to get to you, then; go to her mother. And I know that the Changelings there, will kill to protect their queen.” I leaned closer. “Let me make something clear as well you fucking bastard,” I used my magic, to slam his face to the bars as he groaned in pain. “If it wasn’t for the fact, that you are already getting the death charge, after you get your trail…I kill you myself, and make it right now look as though it was you trying to break out…but no, I know that it would look weird, and beside; you will pay for your crimes.” I released him as I turned to open the door. I heard the sound of him changing back to his pony self as I opened the door, allowing the guards back in; saying that I was going on my break.

(End Flash back)

“Light…? Light?!” I shook my head slightly as I looked around; as I began to pull myself back into the real world as I remembered what happened a few weeks back. Looking around, we were at the base of the stairs, above, the two sister princesses were greeting the guests that came along. “Are you okay?” she asked looking up to me. “You just…zoned out.”
“I’m…I’m fine,” I lied slightly. “I was just…thinking.” She raised one of her eyes at me, as I looked down, I always hated when she did this; she was reading me. She looked me up and down once more, before slowly nodding, I knew she was going to ask me questions later, but for now, we had a Gala to go to.

When we made it to the top, on ether side of the doors, the sisters stood, greeting as each guest walked by, wishing them a time of enjoyment and such. When at last we were up, the two smiled at us. “Good evens little ponies,” the sun princess spoke softly first. “I am so glad you came!”
“Yes,” her younger sister Luna spoke. “We do hope that you have a most wonderful time here, at the Gala!”
“I’m sure we will,” Saki answered.
“Saki was it?” Celestia asked as she looked down at her, now knowing her real name, and not Cloud Dasher. “That dress…did you make it?”
“Huh, oh no, we bought it,”
“Hrm,” I guess she even saw the same color and the way they were made, to make her look like a Changeling. “Well, it is rather…new, I can believe nopony else will have a dress like that tonight.”
“That was the idea,” and with that, she walked in the door, leaving me with two princesses, who gave me slightly confused looks. I only gave them a shrugged and went in after her.

This…was…dull…ugh, how long were we here for, a hour, two? I had no idea at the moment!” I mean…I know this place and this party was to be grand and all…but there was nothing grand about it, just the looks! I mean…the music was okay and that, me and Saki dancing in the soft music in the dance floor…but…ugh! Even Saki was bored as I came over with some drinks for us as we sat down at a large table. “This…sucks,” she whispered harshly at me. “And ponies want to come to this…this…”
“Borefest?” I asked as she nodded her head. “Well you have to think about it, many who want to come, are from Ponyville or Cloudale. This would be something out of the norm for them, just like it is for us.”
“What are you saying?”
“Not a lot is talked about the Gala,” I spoke. “Only what we think it may be, every year I guess it changed…but mostly for the ponies here for Canterlot, does it really care for it.” she only muttered and nodded as she took a drink of her glass before I then said. “Hey…how about one more dance, and then we can go home?”
“Okay,” she sighed softly, about to go to the dance floor before I stopped her.
“No,” I whispered. “Follow me,” I stood up with her and made my way through the hallways, looking around, seeing if anypony would follow. The music, echoed throughout the hallways, so it felt as though we were still where it was playing. I then took her out to the gardens, and then took her deep into a rose covered bush, a large plain inside itm enough room for us two. Up in the sky, stars glistened, the moon round and shining as I smiled down at Saki; who seemed to get my idea. Her body shuddered, her eyes closed, as she turned into that of her true self, the green flames, not burning her dress as I smiled. She leaned closer to me, her chest on my own, her head under my chin as she nuzzled me softly as I brought my left hoof up, and she touched it softly with her own.

As a new music played, we slowly moved in a counter clockwise step, our hooves, clopping to the beat with each of the notes, our eyes barely looking away from each other. We then turned, our right hooves touching much like our lefts did. We moved close, our chest touching once, and then moved back, our hooves wrapping around the ankle of the other, locking us as we did this a few more times. We released our hooves as she came back to me, my neck draping over her own as her wings fluttered. I heard her let out a deep sigh, as all we did then was sway back and forth to the music. “I love you…Bright Star…” I smiled, she barely ever said my real name, my birth name, unless she was truly speaking the truth, and I knew she was ether way as I whispered.
“I love you too…Saki,”

We kept on swaying to the music we heard, slowly turning in place, when I dared opened my eyes to look down at her, my eyes…they caught something else…or somepony else. Princess Candace.

My body froze as I looked to her, her eyes were wide as well, Saki, seeming to sense why I stopped, moved, and then gasped as she went behind me at once, turning, even though it was too late, into Cloud Dasher. Nothing was said, before the princess then spoke. “So…I was right,” I moved and brought my body in front of Saki, ready for anything as I looked to her and then the princess. “That day in the hospital, when I spoke, when I looked deep into your heart, and felt something different; it was because you are a Changeling.” I heard Saki let out a whimper as she heard this, I gulped out loud, we couldn’t even lie to her, saying she was seeing things…she saw us dancing! Nothing was said, until we heard the voice of somepony I didn’t want to hear.
“Cadence?” I heard Shinign Armor call out. “Where are you?”
“Over here Shining,” she called over her shoulders as Saki whimpered and huddled to me more as I brought a arm over her. He came over, dressed in the suit he wore on his wedding day, he looked to me and Saki, and asked in a confused look.
“Why are you two here?” he asked, I looked to his wife, she was looking at me, I couldn’t say anything; until she smiled.
“I found them out here,” she spoke; I closed my eyes, ready for her to say it. “They were dancing, and then…I saw something,” no…no! “They were…” she then…giggled…? “Making out,” I opened my eyes, Saki, when I looked back, poked her head behind my body to look as Shining roared with laughter.
“Really?!” he laughed more. “Couldn’t wait to get home you two?”
“W…well…” I stammered, confused. “I…we…um…”
“Shining?” the princess spoke. “Do you mind if I speak to them alone?” he looked to her, and then back to us and nodded his head, bidding us farewell as he left, after making sure he was really gone, she walked over; I guarded myself, as well as Saki. “Do not fear…please,” she then looked to Saki. “Allow me, to speak to you first,” she then brought a hoof up. “As your true from.”

We both shared a look, as she slowly stepped out from behind me, once more, a puff of green flames, and she was back to being Saki. I gulped again as she moved closer to the women I loved as she then placed both hooves on her cheeks, and said in a clear voice. “Do, you love Lighting Knight?” Saki looked up at her and nodded.
“I do,”
“Are you controlling him with your spell?”
“No,”
“No what?” I saw Saki glare at her before speaking.
“No, he is not under my control! I am not like the other Changelings, yes, I may have attacked this place, but it was because I had no choice! I love Lighting Knight, I’m not controlling him!” she nearly shouted, her breathing coming out in huffs and pants as If what she just said, drained her. I watched as the Love Princess eyes closed, and then smiled as she released Saki. She then came to me, and placed her hooves on my cheek.
“Lighting…”
“I love her,” I said it before she could ask. “I love her with all my heart, and if I have to fight for her, to get her out, I would even harm Shining Armor to do so,” I saw her look to me, before I smiled. “Princess…you are the Princess of Love…you, out of anypony in the world, should know, love comes from all shapes and sizes. We may be different on the outside,” I turned slightly to look at Saki. “But we are all the same on the inside. We love, we hate, we laugh, we cry, we smile, we frown…we, are all the same.” She released my cheeks and gave a small smile as she looked to me.
“I know,” she whispered as Saki came back over to me. “I…I was confused at first, I’ll be truthful there. When I first met you two together, the way you two were…it was as if you were made for each other, in sync in a way. That was my first clue, and then; when I pulled her,” she looked to Saki. “Out that day to speak to her, I am sorry to say, but I also dug my way into your inner heart, to see if I was right.”
“You…what?” I heard Saki asked as Cadence chuckled and pointed to her Cutie Mark.
“What do you think this was for?”
“So…” I asked looking at her. “What…now?”

“If you mean, what I shall do now,” she asked as I looked to her as well as Saki. “I shall not speak of word of this…I wish to know as well…how this will turn out, a Changeling and pony, falling in love,” I then gave a small chuckle as she looked to me and asked. “What’s so funny?”
“Well…” I spoke, looking over at her. “I mean…with what happened, you being captured by the Changeling Queen, and such I would think…”
“Ah, I see what you mean,” she answered with a small nod. “But…I see now,” she then looked down to Saki. “Not all Changelings are the same, you are right Lighting Knight,” she then looked back to me. “We are all the same on the inside, and I wish you both; all the best.”
“So…” Saki whispered as she looked up at the Love Princess. “You…shall not say anything about me…about us?” she smiled and placed a hoof over to where her heart would be.
“You have my word Saki dear,” she smiled more as she looked between the two. “Two ponies who love each other as you do should never be ripped apart. And if by any chance you are caught, I will do everything in my power, to show everypony, that the love you two share is real.” She then looked back at the castle and then spoke once more. “We should really return, before my husband gets worried.”
“One last question,” Saki asked as the two looked at each other. “Why did you say we were making out…I mean…I would’ve said you caught us about to…”
“Saki?!” I cried out as the two mares started to laugh as I groaned, face-hoofing my self. “Ugh…the things I deal with you…”
