It was the next morning, I dunno what it is but…it feels empty around here…like something is missing…my house is small and there adequate stuff filling it so why does it feel empty all the sudden.
I had remembered the kiss…I don’t know how I got roped into that one, all I know is that I don’t think I’ve felt emptier waking up to my room than I have now. What is this feeling I am feeling, THIS IS STRANGE! HELP ME! FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODDESS I AM DATING HELP ME OH HEAVENS ABOVE!
KNOCK KNOCK!
“Who is it?” I ask through the door.
“Princess Cadence, a word if you please” I head Cadence’s voice
“Then come in” I say to Cadence from my side of the door.
Princess Cadence came in, she looked like she had teleported a long way to come here, I wonder what she needs me for. I have only ever met her once when she curiously wanted to see what a human was like, to be fair, although wouldn’t you be curious if the role were reversed? Maybe, assuming you aren’t going full Alien invasion mode or something.
Princess Cadence is the Princess of Love from the Crystal Empire along with Twilight’s “BBBFF”, bleagh! What corny childish things Twilight is referring to her brother. I mean I know the two are close but childhood’s over Twily, you wasted it on books, remember? I wasted mine on video games and I have no fucking regrets…except I never 100%ed Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Damn you wasted youth, DAMN YOU I SAY!
And I went off in a tangent in my thoughts again, anywho, Cadence just sat in a chair opposite me, and I sat in my chair.
“So, what can I do for you, Cadence?” I ask her.
“To give you a fair warning” Cadence says her intent.
“What warning?” I ask Cadence.
“It’s about you and Auntie Tia, I am not giving some “If you hurt her, I’ll kill you” speech, those speeches here will not accomplish anything in this case, besides, it’s chiche, but on to the topic. While it’s now out about you and Aunt Celestia now getting married, you have unknowingly ticked off the nobles” Cadence starts her point.
Yeah, so? They’re always ticked and I just said that to Cadence by the way.
“My point being is that the Nobles will be plotting against you, you have done what they call the jackpot, a marriage with Princess Celestia, the ultimate agenda, the ultimate prize to higher their self-interests. I know personally that Princess Celestia would never let that happen, which is why she has never been drunk publicly, the one time she messed up was with you, out of any being it was thankfully you and not by the hooves of a noble, the results would have been bad” Cadence explains her point.
“How bad would it have been?” I ask Cadence curiously.
“Celestia to them is like a dangerous powerful artifact, if one were to marry Celestia, it’d be almost controlling her considering Celestia cannot worm her way out, a loveless one-sided marriage, if the Noble wanted foals to continue the bloodline, he could do it and nothing would stop him by law. A Noble as a Prince of Equestria is something that must never be, Jason. This is why I am glad it was you and not a noble when I heard about the incident. It shames me to say it, but the nobles are the scum of the modern day society and they will plot against you, Jason” Cadence continues
Shit, I may feel guilty about bedding Celestia but better me than them. I’d think I’d gladly do it again to stop them.
“So how will they plot against me, will they try to kill me?” I ask Cadence what their measures might be.
“Not unless they are too extreme, they see you as a threat to their agenda, they naturally hate you, they will try to discredit you, hope that it will stop Celestia marrying you or at the very least make you look bad in front of the Equestrian Public. If they start really wanting you out of the picture than perhaps, all I am saying is you need to be careful in the presence of nobles” Cadence tells me about their tactics.
“When can I expect them?” I ask.
“When you least expect it, they will not dare go too extreme or direct under Celestia’s muzzle. Listen, from what I’ve heard you’re a good stallion, much like my Shiny, but this happened to us too, which is why I am warning you now, keep an eye out and don’t trust the nobles” Cadence says
And then Cadences teleports out, like not even a good-bye, rude. That said, I need to find Rainbow Dash, I need somepony to talk to.
Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle...
“So Tia, how was thy date on the previous night?” Luna asks Celestia.
“Oh? I felt it went rather well, we enjoyed a wonderful picnic under the stars and a splendid dinner at the restaurant” Celestia answers with a smile on remembering the date.
“Was that really all, Tia?” Luna gave a I-know-that’s-not-the-whole-story look at Celestia.
“Well Lulu…we may have…kissed” Celestia mumbled the last part while going red.
“What did thou say?” Luna asks as she did not hear what Celestia said on the last part.
“I kissed Jason” Celestia said at audible level as her whole body was red.
“THOU WHAT!?” Luna yelled
“THOU WHAT!?” Luna’s voice rang out through Ponyville
Birds just started flying out from trees as Luna’s voice was so loud it shook Ponyville.
“Good Celestia!” One pony says.
“What does thou mean, thy lips kissed Jason Anderson’s?” Luna asks.
“I-I don’t know, one moment we were about say our farewells and then…it just happened. I have no idea why I did it” Celestia says while going even redder.
“Tia, what art thou thinking? If Jason falls in love, tis will be one-sided love just because of a kiss" Luna reacts to Celestia's reason.
"I know, I know! I have no idea what came over me last night, I was foolish and it went against everything our parents taught us" Celestia says
"Dost thou possibly have any feelings for Jason by any chance?" Luna asks.
"I..." Celesta hesitated.
In truth, Celestia didn't know how she felt, which was unusual, she liked to be in control of her emotions, something she will ponder over later.
"Well?" Luna looks expectantly at Celestia
"I confess I do not know what I feel, I need more time to figure out my emotions" Celestia says
"Very well, should Jason dare try to hurt thy emotions, let us know and we shall have words" Luna says
"That will not be necessary, I must get back to my duties, Luna" Celestia ends the conversation so she can leave.
Celestia ponders for a while, these feelings have been in her mind since she left Jason last night. Could Luna be right? Could Celestia be experiencing the feeling of love? Perhaps she should ask Cadence, she might know.
Back in Ponyville...
“…And then Celestia kissed me” I say to Rainbow Dash
“Whoa…” Dash was in awe.
I had just finished telling Dash what happened last night over by a park bench just outside town, took a while, what? Do you know how long it takes to track down the Pony version of Sonic the Hedgehog? Seriously, if Dash ate Chilli Dogs, she’d get sued into oblivion, thank fuck she’s vegan (By herbivore species, not choice).
“Yeah, it was weird, I swear her eyes were like mind control” I say to her, remembering how much of a trance I seemed to be in that moment only without the memory loss that usually comes with it.
“Jasssooooon, I command you to kiss your Princess, wooooooo!” Dash does her best mind controlling voice while waving her hooves in a controlling motion.
“Ha ha, but seriously, then Cadences comes up and warns me the Nobles are really pissed at me and may try things” I say what happened this morning.
“Really? That sounds serious, Rarity still hates that complete swine, Blueblood for what he did to her at the Gala, apparently Blueblood even tried to sue Rarity once” Dash mentions that one time at the Grand Galloping Gala (GGG).
“Tartarus hath no fury like a mare being thrown into a pie’s line of fire, scorned works too” I say.
Seriously, Bluebitch is lucky he didn’t get slapped upside the head, if I were Rarity I’d totally do that, only it’d be a right hook to his jaw as well.
RUSTLE!
“Hey Dash? Is it just me or some of these bushes are moving?” I asked Dash as I look around.
Seriously, I swear those bushes were not there before and a few feet back.
Click.
“Not just you, it’s them” Dash says.
“Oh these guys, the paparazzi” I say to Dash
“Yeah, let’s get outta here” Dash advises us to GTFO of here.
Suddenly the Paparazzi knew they were found and they had questions and industrial strength cameras, the worst kind of camera there is.
“Mr. Anderson. We-“ One of them starts
“RUN!” I yell.
Dash and I were literally going full Looney Toons running in the air before actually running off, complete with the sound too (probably Pinkie Pie). It’s time we made ourselves scarce…
