//------------------------------// // Meating a princess. // Story: Saint Beast: From Pony to Dragon to Pony Again // by Setten Sun //------------------------------// They kept walking until they reached Fluttershy's cabin. They stopped and looked at one another and Rainbow asked, what everypony was thinking, "Do you think she'll be made that he's hurt?" After a few seconds Twilight spoke up "Well I think she will understand. I mean we did just get attacked by a dragon after all." With that said the group opened the door and entered. Inside was the princess on the coach with Angel sleeping next to her. The princess looked over at them with a smile as she started to talk "I was beginning to worry about you four. You found him?" Twilight moved the bubble from behind the four next to Celestia and let the spell die, revealing Saint. " I, is friend. I...no...hurt." Celestia said in a kind manner (She thinks she is fluent). Saint looked up at the princess and saw her horn, then moved to the side to see her wings. "I am Saint Beast, As my mother has deemed I will learn the ways of ponies. As long as I am here you may call upon me in times of need." The group behind Saint looked to Celestia for a translation, when none was given they simply took seats around the room. Twilight took a seat on the far end of the coach, Sweetie sat next to her. Fluttershy sat on one the chairs and Rainbow took the other. Celestia then levitated a parchment that was on the end table. Her horn started to light up and the parchment turned into, what looked like, dust just before it shot into Saint. "Can you understand me Saint?" he nodded. "Good take a seat." He then sat where he was, making the other five giggle. "I meant go take a seat on the coach." Saint looked around, then looked aback at the with a puzzled look on his face. As she points "Take a seat next to Sweetie please." Saint stood up and turned to walk over to the coach, that is when she finally noticed his broken wing. "Twilight, what did you four do to him to get him here!" she shouted. Twilight was frozen solid by fear. "It wasn't their fault." Saint said as he hopped on top the coach. Making Angle jump off the coach and run to Fluttershy. Saints voice was young but it was tender and had a vibrant aspect to it. He spoke like nothing happened "They ran into a bit of trouble, so I helped. So you can say I hurt myself." Celestia visibly culmed down as did Twilight. "Alright then" Celestia started " come over here , and ill fix you up." Saint jumped off the coach and walked over to Celestia and extended his wing...well he extended it until the broken part hung limply off the floor. This cased the ponies to shiver, and made him want to cry in pain but as mother always told him "Never show pain to others, they will only want kill you for your weakness." Her horn lit up and she started to chant something under her breath. She then lowered her head and touched her horn to his wing. A large light emanated from the break and red bands lashed out and connected to the far end of the wing. Slowly, the bands retracted. Saint was almost at his limit when it stop. "Your a strong little stallion aren't you. Most scream in pain." Saint moved back to the coach and jumped on it. Sweetie wrapped him in a hug, Saint visibly tensed up, while she said "Thank you, for saving us." She then proceeded to kiss him on the cheek, causing him jump away from her and fall off the coach. He landed on his back as the mares in the room tried to suppress a laugh as Sweetie asked "You aright?" Wide eyed Saint asks "What was that? The only reason I know about for a being puts their mouth on another is to eat them." The four couldn't hold back their laughter "What?" Celestia stopped laughing "Your a pony not a dragon, and ponies do things like kiss." Confused by the new term he asked "What does kiss mean?" Twilight couldn't believe what she just heard "A kiss is a show of affection, it means love!" "Twilight!" cried Sweetie as she ran over to her "The kiss I gave him was a thank you, not love you!" her head turning a rosy red. Rainbow brought a hoof up to cover a smile "A thank you is a hug, something you already did. Then you kissed him, so you like him." In a whisper she added "I can't blame you, he will be quite the mare killer when he grows up." This made Sweetie look back at the colt still on his back, and her face turned a deeper shade of red. Rainbow and Sweetie kept talking in a whisper, Sweetie turning darker and darker red as Rainbow kept teasing her. "Anyway" Celestia said trying to get everyone's attention, she received everyone's but Rainbow and Sweetie. "Let's do a quick late introduction. I am Celestia, that is Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and the two fighting are Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle." She pointed to each one in turn. Then she stated "Twilight, he will stay with you in the library." The two looked at one another "I took the liberty of moving a bed in for him and I have enrolled him in school. I know you are on a fixed budget, but you do not need to feed him...his mother said he will fend for himself. Also He too will get an allowance from his mother through me." "How much is that?" asked Twilight. Celestia simply said "1000 a weak" "A thousand!, I only get 250!" Twilight gasped as her jaw hit the floor. "Umm what's an alowence" asked Saint puzzled once again. Twilight looked at him and facehoofed "An ALLOWANCE is how much money you receive from somepony." "Understood. Now what's money?" Twilight went to a wall and slammed her head against it a few times as Celestia explained how money works. By the time Twilights small episode passed, Celestia said "So I thought having the two of you together would be a good idea because now you can study how he learns about friendship. Now if you will excuse me, I am needed in Canterlot." With a flash of light she was gone. The flash finally made Rainbow stop teasing Sweetie and say "Ya, it's getting late I'm going home." As she took off thought the open window. "She's right" commented Twilight "common Saint, let's go home." Saint nodded as he started to fallow. "O, um Sweetie I'll walk you home" added Fluttershy. The Library, just outside Two pegasus guards were just taking off as the two reached the home. The sun was almost out of sight as they entered, "Well now you can meat Spike!" Twilight looked around, not seeing him she added "If he wasn't asleep. Well I'll show you where you are going to sleep." She lead him to the spare room, and when she opened it a pile of gold goblets, crowns and other things were there to great her. In the corner was a red sack which held his money for the week. "Where is your bed?" she asked. Stumped by the question Saint simply pointed towards the pile of gold "Um, the gold...what do you sleep on?" "A bed like a normal pony. How can gold be comfortable?" "Gold is the only thing I have ever slept on. Gold is extremely soft and it reflects heat back at you for a long time." "Alright...don't forget you have school tomorrow so get your sleep, it starts at 8am." She turned to leave when saint asked her what 8am was. She explained how time works then asked him how he kept time. To which he replied that dragons don't have a need to keep exact time. Dragons are immortal so a few hours, that she is taking about, does not mean much. "I'll just wake you up." She said as she closed the door behind her. Saint looked at the gold and exhaled a small torrent of flames at it before jumping inside.
