As the train screeched to a halt I was snapped out of my thoughts.
I disembarked as the conductor shouted this was indeed Ponyville.
It was... cute... like everything in this bloody world, although it was a better change of pace than fighting Angels and Demons 24/7.
Suddenly a familiar pink blur rushed up to me.
"Hello Pinkie Pie." I smiled as she smiled brightly in front of me.
"Hello Desire!" she exclaimed and wrapped me in a crushing hug.
"Hey Pinkie, great to see you." I said.
"You as well! come on! Twilight wants to talk to you!" exclaimed Pinkie.
"Of course she does." I chuckled as I was lead through Ponyville, receiving more stares, but they were less condescending and more confused, these were simple ponies trying to get by everyday life, same as me, I could respect them for that, unlike the noble who thought I was someponies pet, bastards.
Except the Princesses, Luna, Cadence and the beautiful Celestia... I was ready to admit it if I ever see her again, that I love her, I've decided it immortal or no this was something I couldn't avoid even if I wanted to...
"You ok?" asked Pinkie with a tilt of her head, as I realised I had been staring at the floor, damn she was fucking cute, like everything!
"Yeah." I said and tickled her chin and she giggled.
"Okeydokie!" she exclaimed and lead me with a bounce in her step to the center of Ponyville, where I saw the most literal interpretation of a 'tree-house' ever.
I knocked.
"Coming!" came a masculine voice.
Suddenly a dragon opened the door.
"Wow... you must be the 'guest' we've been expecting..." said the drake in awe.
"Yep, Desire's the name and the Apocalypse is my game." I chuckled as I entered the abode, after Pinkie zipped inside somehow.
"Ah, hello Desire, Pinkie." smiled Twilight with a nod as she was obviously sorting books.
"Good evening Twilight, I seek accommodation." I said.
"Of course! tomorrow is your tour of the town, the day after you are helping me in the library, the day after you can help Pinkie, the day after that, Rarity then Fluttershy, the Rainbow, then Applejack! and then we will see what Princess Celestia asks us to do next." said Twilight.
"Is she always this prepared?" I asked Pinkie.
"Yep!" he squealed and hopped around the room.
"Don't I know it?" groaned Spike.
"Tomorrow, after your tour, Sugarcube Corner, 10 PM, sharp!" exclaimed Pinkie and slammed the door as she left.
"Err..." I said.
"It's just Pinkie being Pinkie." Twilight rolled her eyes.
"Wow... you're huge!" exclaimed Spike as if some kind of revelation.
"Thanks little drake." I said and ruffled his scales.
"Stop! I'm not little..." he mumbled.
"Of course..." said Twilight and rolled her eyes as she sorted books out.
"So... I kissed Celestia." I said, I had to ask Twilight's advice, as currently Luna was unavailable.
Twilight froze up and the books in her magic dropped to the floor.
Spike even widened his eyes.
"You did WHAT?!" asked Twilight.
"I kissed her, I think I'm in love with her, I need some advice as to what she likes." I said.
"So she feels the same?" asked Spike.
"I'm not sure, she told me she didn't mind the kiss, I hope I can see her again." I said.
"Well, she is adaptable, but is also used to certain customs and may be impressed if you do them, for example, she has an empty sheath in her bedroom, I found it strange at first, however, upon further history research I found that it is a sign she is eligible, and if you put your own sword in there and she sends it in the sheath to you, she accepts a date, if it's without it's sheath... well..." Twilight laughed nervously.
"Rejection?" I asked and she nodded.
"Also, there are 'lovespoons' you craft a spoon and give it to her, she accepts, she loves you." said Twilight.
"Ok, I see, where can I craft this?" I asked.
"Black Smith." said Twilight.
"The blacksmith?" I asked.
"Yeah, but Black owns the place." said Spike.
"Oh, right." I said.
"He makes the best gemmed food!" exclaimed Spike and rubbed his stomach in happiness.
"He can help you, so you really love my mot- teacher?" asked Twilight.
"Mother? she is you surrogate mother correct?" I asked.
"Yes, sorry, sometimes I slip up, I sometimes do when talking to Princess Celestia herself, she says it makes her happy when I call her it."
"I never had a mother, I was born of particles forming to make something, and out I came." I said.
"Wow... no parents..." said Twilight.
"I have my siblings." I said.
"Yeah, siblings are always great!" said Twilight.
"They can get annoying, but that's why they're there." I chuckled.
"True." she said.
"Yeah, I love em' though." I said.
"My brother is married to Cadence." said Twilight.
"Oh, yeah, Shining Armor, right?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Right I should head into bed, big day tomorrow." said Twilight.
"Yeah, my big tour." I said.
"You can have our couch." said Twilight and a blanket and pillow materialised.
"Night." I said.
"Goodnight." said Twilight and Spike in unison.
I went to bed thinking on Twilight's words, the sword and sheath part could be done easily, the spoon... well, I've crafted a sword, who says I can't do a spoon?
Oh Creator I'm doomed...
