Hit the Ground Running

A New Quest

"So you're giving me land in Ponyville?" I asked Blueblood

"The Princesses are making me do 'nice things', as if I wasn't nice. They said giving you something would be a good start, so take it or I'll tell the Princesses you denied me," he huffed

"Sure, I'll take it," I said a bit enthusiastically, he then shoved a scroll onto my chest

"Take it to the mayor, and they'll show you your land," he walked away

My sight followed him until he went round a corner, "Such attitude..."

"Prince!"

"Ahh!" I turn to the guard, "Don't sneak up on me!" I cleared my throat, "Sorry for, uhmm...yelling..."

"The Princess has requested your presence," the guard continued, unfazed by my manly yell of surprise

"I'll be there in a minute," the guard stomped in attention and walked away, No point in making them wait I guess, I headed to the throne room, Still... Where is my Scottish bat horse GF...?

---

I pushed the door ajar and lean my head in, "Hello, mum?"

"Hello, Luis, I hope I didn't interrupt anything," Celestia said, making her way down the stairs

"Oh, nothing important. I was just walking around the castle for a bit. By the way, do you know where Noctis went? I haven't seen her all day," We met at the bottom of the stairs with a hug, "How's life? I heard Twilight went a bit bonkers a few days ago"

She sat down on the stairs, I followed suit, "Indeed. She tried to cause a friendship problem to be able to fix it. Not the best way to learn any type of lesson"

"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?"

"I have a favour to ask of you," she bit her lip in a bit of uncertainty, "You can refuse if you feel the need... Could you teach Blueblood how to behave?"

"Oh... As in morals, conduct, or...?"

"Yes"

Oh, boy... "All of the above, huh? Okay... So... When?" I felt my stress rising, What if I can't teach him properly? What if I accidentally teach him something wrong? All the fault would fall on- relax... breathe...

"As soon as possible, if you can"

Taking a deep breath I accepted, "I'll try, but what makes you think I can do this?"

"I believe you can do this because when he was acting like a 'cactus', as you so eloquently put it, you still gave him a chance"

"I'm not responsible if he comes back with a bloody nose," I said sarcastically, "It's fine, I'll give it a shot"

Celestia wrapped her arm around me and gave my shoulder a good squeeze, "I knew I could count on you"

I sigh, "You know how many variables I have created on the timeline at this point? Because I lost count," Not like it matters if I keep count, new things will happen...

"You mustn't worry now," she stood up signalled to one of the guards, "Would you kindly bring Blueblood, Swift Strike?" the guard head-bowed and headed out

"How do you do to know who they are? They all look the same with the armour"

"Years of experience"

"I guess..." I stood up

The door opened slightly and Noctis popped her head in, "Sorry, Princess, is- Luis! I've been looking for you," she walked in

She's not wearing her usual suit... "So... new clothes," I reached into my pocket and fidgeted with the small box inside, Might be too soon... but...

"You noticed?" she planted a kiss on my lips, "I thought you might like them. So waddaya think?"

Just wait a bit, it's already planned out, I thought taking my hand out of my pocket. Doing a quick scan of her clothes i said, "Nice! I like it, goes well with your hair down like that too," I hugged her and placed my chin on her head, her ears twitched brushing against my cheeks which made me chuckle

"If I look ridiculous you need to tell me!" she moved to arm's length and looked at me, "Honest. Why did you laugh? It's the blouse, right? I shouldn't have gone for red..."

"Oh, no. I'm not complaining about your clothes, they're really nice. it's just... your ears tickle," Noctis pouted at my comment, I moved to kiss her on the forehead, "It's okay... that makes you cuter"

She smiled and said, "I love you too," then pulled me into another kiss

"I got some news too, hehe... I uhm, might be taking Blueblood into 'personality lessons', possibly? He's going to be around me for a while, sorry..." I rubbed my neck thinking, I done goof, didn't I... I should've thought about it a bit more... oh well

"I know where the throne room is! NOW ADDRESS ME AS PRINCE AND GO AWAY!"

Oh, god... what have I gotten myself into... I turned my gaze to the doorway, and Blueblood was pissed

"What do you want, your majesty?" he said with a somewhat mocking bow

"For one, Swift Strike, please inform all the staff that Blueblood shall be treated with the respect they believe he deserves, disregarding his title of 'prince'. Make sure that this information is spread to every staff member of the castle," Celestia stated quite sternly, stepping in front of Noctis and I

"Yes, Princess," Swift went out the door again

Celestia then turned her attention to Blueblood, "As for you... From today until he believes you are ready, you will obey Luis as he will be teaching you the manners you should already posses as a prince"

Blueblood glared at me, I just waved and shrugged, I am so going to regret this... Wait... "What day is it today?"

"It's Wednesday, why- AW BU-!!" she covered her mouth just before 'swearing,' "We're gonna to be late!!" Noctis started to freak out

"Late for what?" We are not to go there for another hou- OH FUCK!! "You're right!!" I grabbed Noctis's hand, and we head out the door, "We'll be back soon! Sorry!" I yelled back at Celestia, I told her an hour earlier for my proposal!!, I smiled to myself as I directed us to the edge of the city, She's gonna love the necklace

---

That was almost two months ago. Although, I did leave Blueblood in the castle to toughen up for like a week while I got the land and built the house. About a week ago, Spike went full dragon for a few hours, thankfully our house was spared any major damage, and tomorrow I'm going to the family appreciation presentation that Nimble has to do... I happily sighed, "We actually adopted him..."

"Aye, we did," Noctis said wrapping her arms behind me

"Hello! You surprised me. How was your day?" I gave her a quick kiss

"Not too bad. Rainbow is quite diligent about the weather. Even when she seems to be slacking off," she moved a chair next to me and sat down as I messed around with some crystals

"If she gives you any trouble just... kick her or something," the sarcasm came back to bite me as Noctis flicked my ear, "Ow! Why are you so mean?" I stuck my tongue out

"You deserve that"

"Ah, yes, yes I do," I said putting the crystal in place, my project lit up almost instantly, "There we go," I got up from the table and placed the circuit board in the mount on the wall and connected the panel to the computer next to it, then I moved to the stargate and connected the generator to the ring, "And now... To Canterlot," I made my way outside and prepared for fast-travel, Better than that puke-inducing teleportation...

Noctis followed me and asked, "Why do you need to go to Canterlot?"

"To test that," I pointed back at the house

"But the ring is finished"

"It is, but you can't have a coin with only one side," I said matter-of-factly, "Want to come with?" Noctis nodded with a smile, "Then hang tight," She grabbed my arm as I selected Canterlot on my pip-boy

In the blink of an eye, we were in front of the castle

"I'll never get use to that," Noctis said a bit wobbly

"Beats teleportation"

"It really doesn't..."

"It does for me," I grabbed her hand, "Come on, Nimble gets off school in less than an hour"

We made our way to the other ring which was a ways away from the main entrance to the castle, still within the outer walls. As we approached, the guards keeping watch of the ring saluted

"At ease," I said approaching the console, "And move aside," connecting the generator, I made sure that there was no one in the way one last time, "Test number twelve is..." I pressed two of the symbols on the console, "Commencing," with a press of the big red button, the inner ring began to turn, Looking good... "Chevron one..." It locks, "Locked. Chevron two... locked, and soo..." it opens, "Finally!!"

"What was that?!!" Noctis moved next to me, gawking at the gate

"That was a stargate activation. Now test twelve, part two," I made my way up the ramp in front of the stargate and put my hand in it, It doesn't feel like anything... but it tingles... I turned back at Noctis, "Want to test it with me?" I extend my hand, "Otherwise, you might need to ask to be teleported back to Ponyville," she took my hand, "Also, it might not work and we will die"

"What?!!!"

I stepped into the event horizon, I letting go of Noctis before getting pulled through. Immediately, I find myself back in our house, with the other stargate shimmering behind me, I started jumping excitedly, "Yes! Yes! It worked! It finally fucking worked!!" the wall in front of the gate was more or less missing a chunk, "Uhmm... The stargate seems to be a bit to close too that..." it deactivated, I turned around, "It's not too close to that wa- chingada madre..." I noticed a small burn mark just behind the center of the gate, "Welp, I guess I'll have to extend this room a little bit... or I could make a dedicated room for it... Later"

I went to the panel I had finished earlier and started dialing back to Canterlot

==[POV - Noctis]==

"What is that idiot thinking?!!" I made my way to the controls, Which ones did he use? The ring activated again, "Did it work?" I asked nopony in particular

Luis came through, "It works just fine," he stated with a smile on his face, "Although..." he shook some ice of his shoulders, "It's a bit cold"

"Why would it be cold?" How can it be cold?

"Because of the decompression process"

"The what?"

"Basically, when something enters the stargate it gets dematerialized and compressed before being sent into the matter-stream. When it exits the gate on the other side, the particles gets de-compressed and reassembled. The decompression takes energy, so it takes that energy in the form of heat, leaving the item cold"

"And because you went through the other one almost immediately, you didn't have time to warm up again," I walked up to him

"Pr-reci-isely," his voice started to shiver

"Then let me warm you up. But first!" I slapped him for scaring me like he did

"I deserved that," he said rubbing his cheeck

I then hugged him, he wrapped his arms around me as he started to shiver all over

After a small while he stopped shivering, "Let's go pick up little Nimble from school," he readied his pip-boy

I placed my hand over the screen, "We still have over half an hour, why not enjoy ourselves a little?" I winked, "Helps to warm you up a little more too"

"You just want donuts," he said poking my side

I recoiled back, blushing, "N-no...! I just... I mean... Don't tease me like that! You're mean!" we started heading into the city

"To be fair, you do like donuts... a lot"

That son of a- "Are you calling me fat?!"

"Even if you fell in that category, I wouldn't even care," he kissed me very sweetly, "I would love you just as much," he brushed stray hairs off my face smiling

---

==[POV - Luis]==

I caught Nimble out of the air into a hug, "Hey, Nimble, how was school today?"

"Did you know Granny Smith lived here before Ponyville was even founded?" Nimble said excitedly as he jumped off me

"Oh, really? That's nice, she must have so many more stories"

"Yeah! Applebloom wanted to invite me to help with the zap apple harvest too, can I go?"

"Sure, but I'll come pick you up in a couple of hours, okay?" I petted his head

"Thanks, dad!" he ran to the CMCs, my heart fluttered with happiness at his words

"Be careful!" I yelled back

"I will!" with a final wave, he ran off to the farm

He called me dad... I smiled, "I am so bragging to Red," I whispered to myself as I made my way home

"Hey, Luis, wait for me!" Bluebloods voice called out

I turned to the source to see him running towards me, so I waited for him, "Hello, Blueblood, how was your day?"

He passed me a scroll, "Here is my report of today so far"

I gave it a quick read, "So Bon Bon thinks you were a great help, Vinyl thinks you could use more people skills, and..." I read the rest, "Okay, okay... overall, not bad," I slapped his shoulder, "Good job," I handed back the scroll

"Thank you, and honestly... I'm getting used to living like this. Simple, yet, what is the word... comfortable," He scanned around my legs for a brief second, "Where is young Gust? I had something for him"

A gift?? Extra points are in order... "He's playing with some friends at the moment"

"Well, if you are to collect him, may I come with? I would appreciate the opportunity of giving him my gift personally"

He's improved a lot more than I thought...! "Sure, why not"

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment with the doctor to attend," he walked off with a wave

I'm still not used to him in professional-looking suit instead of that weird royal-ish one...

I made my way home. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the smell of chicken, Oh. My. God... I love her... I walked to the kitchen and leaned on the doorway, looking at Noctis cook. After a bit, I said in my best British accent, "Well, hello there, darling," and hugged her from behind

She was a little surprised, "Luis! Hi, how did it go?"

I leaned down and kissed her neck, "We have the house to ourselves for a little bit, Nimble's with the Apples"

She nuzzled me, "Doing what? Is he 'crusading' with the CMCs again?"

"He's probably in a bunny suit right about now," I let her go and looked over the stove, "Whatcha cooking?"

"I'm making that ceasar salad you showed me a whil- ... Wait, in a bunny suit?"

"Long story, he should tell you!" I looked at her with a shit-eating grin, "He called me 'dad' today too, Red. Jealous?"

Noctis turned around with a somewhat offended expression, "What?! No way! It only happened because it was your turn to pick him up. No fair!" she started pouting

I placed my hand on her head, "Looks like my little wify is jealous"

She swatted my hand away, "W-wha... I'm not jealous! And we're not married yet!!" she grasped her necklace with both hands with a smile, "Yet..."

I grabbed her hands and kissed her forhead, "'Yet', that's the important word"

"Just a few more months," she said as she snuggled up to me

I let go of her hands and hugged her, "And then: marriage"

"I know..."

I let her go and look at my own necklace, "Anyways. I'm going to the store, want anything?"

==[POV - Noctis]==

"No, thanks. I'll just finish preping dinner," I said turning back to the stove

"Are you sure?"

"Aye, I'm sure"

"Okay, I'll be back soon," Luis went out the door

As soon as the chicken was cooked, I chopped it up and covered it to let it rest for a bit, Now what can I do... A hard thud came from the door, I guess there's my answer, "Coming!"

I opened the door, and the mailmare handed me a couple of letters and a small package, "Here you go, Noctis! Have a nice day!"

"I will, Derpy, you too. And be careful"

"I am. See you later," with that, she flew off

I closed the door and set the correnspondence on the table, but one of the letters caught my eye, "It's from the Princess!"

I read the letter, and was very much surprised

"Why am I still invited to the guard's pre-gala party?! It must be a mistake," the stargate activated in the other room, "Wait what?" The 'swoosh' went off

"OH COME ON!!" Luis made his way into the house, "I'm going to kick whoever activated the gate," he grumbled as he made his way into the gate room

I got up and followed him, "What happened?"

"I had just fixed the wall for the night, and now I have to fix it again!" he stood his ground in front of the gate, arms crossed. Then Princess Celestia came through, his whole demeanor changed, "Oh! Mum! Hi... uhhhh, do you like it?"

"Is it normal to feel chills after using this device?"

"Pretty much. If you use it again you'll have to get ice off from you"

"I see. May I ask why you built such a device?"

The gate closed and Luis guided the Princess to the living room, "Let's talk on the couch... And the reason is that I was planning to create a network of stargates to the mayor cities in equestria because not every pony can teleport or fly long distances, and some times they might not have the time to take a proper vacation so the gate will make travel near instant"

I jump into the conversation, "Princess, would you like some tea or coffee?"

"Noctis, you are almost my daughter-in-law, there is no need to address me as 'princess'. And yes, tea would be lovely, thank you"

"Sorry, Prin-Celestia, force of habit," I turned to Luis and asked him to, he just nodded, so made my way to the kitchen

==[POV - Luis]==

Such a device must surely have drawbacks"

"It surely does, it takes massive amounts of energy to actually use, that's why I had to get some naquadah generators, as well as also being a one way trip. If you want to go back to where you came from, you would have to dial back. And the initial vortex is the most dangerous part of it, if you saw my wall... well, put simply: it vaporizes anything in it's way"

"When you say it is a 'one way trip', will it reject anything that may try to go back?"

"No. It will go in..." I looked down at my hands, She might think that it's to dangerous and shut them down...

"But never come back out, I presume," I nodded, "I see... Make sure to place proper, visible and clear warnings"

I stared at her in disbelief, "Really?? Thank you!"

Noctis came back with a tray, "Here we go, tea!"

---

I glanced at the clock, It's almost time... I stood up, "Well, thanks for visiting, mum, but I have to go pick up Nimble from his friend's"

"I understand. I must ask before you leave, how is Blueblood's attitude developing?"

"A lot faster than I was expecting, honestly," I looked the time on the pip-boy, "Sorry, have to go"

Noctis stood up and gave me a quick peck on the cheek, "Take care"

"I will," I went out the door, Now, where is Blueblood?

==[POV - Noctis]==

"Celestia, I wasn't able to bring this up before, but..." I took out the invitation, "Why was I invited to the pre-gala party? I'm no longer part of the guards"

"Because, my dear Red, everypony wanted to have you as this year's honoured guest," Celestia gave me a graceful smile

"But they could've had Sapphire Shores, or even Songbird Serenade! So why me?"

She waved at me to get closer and leaned into a 'hush-hush' position, "You did not hear this from me, but it appears you have become quite a celebrity among the ranks. An ex-guard engaged to the prince? Imagine the gossip," she sat back up, "Also, they wanted to commend you personally for guarding the gate to Tartarus for as long as you did"

"I was the only one who ever guarded the gate, though. Well, except for when I was needed for missions and... nevermind, that was before my time"

"Nopony ever wanted a creature to escape on their watch"

"True... but Cerberus is such a sweetheart, tho. Him alone made the job worth it," I sighed, "Maybe we should get a pet"

"Is that a wedding gift request hmm?" she bounced her eyebrows

"Oh no, please just a simple gift," I hesiated before asking my next question, "Is... Is anypony looking after the gate now?"

"Tartarus has not caused any trouble in almost a millennia, thus my sister and I have opted to enchant the gate so only unicorns with the skill to cast the opening spell may enter"

==[POV - Luis]==

"...so yeah, I've believe you are worthy of an upgrade," I gave Blueblood a sincere smile, "Congrats, you fall within the rank of 'neutral' now, so no more negative titles for you. Well, unless you stop practicing good deeds and start being a prick again"

Blueblood did a little happy dance before regaining his composure and clearing his throat, "Thank you, I really appreciate your help"

We stopped a few meters from a group of ponies and foals eating toast, Eating zap apple jam toast... I wonder how good it is, "Nimble, I'm here," I called out

"Dad!" Nimble flew into my arms, "Aren't you a little early?" he glaced to the side, noticing Blueblood, "Hiya, uncle"

Blueblood waved in response

I sat him on my shoulders, "Well, I was honestly expecting to have trouble finding Blueblood," I looked at AJ, "Thanks for looking after him, hope he wasn't too much trouble"

AJ stood up, grabbing a jar of jam, and made her way towards us, "Here," she handed me the jar, "Nimble almost forgot his jam," she tipped her hat at him, "He was mighty helpful, hope Ah see ya again lil' guy"

"Of course you will," Nimble said in his most confident tone

"Again, thank you so much, Applejack"

"Any time," she tipped her hat again

I waved goodbye as we headed out the farm, "By the way, grandma's visiting today"

There was a collective gasp from Nimble and Blueblood, but Nimble spoke up first, "Wow! Really?"

All I heard from Blueblood was a groan, afterwads he spoke up again, changing the subject, "Young Gust, I have a gift for you"

Nimble looked at his uncle excitedly, "Really?!"

"As a matter of fact, it is one gift that spans two items," he smiled as he took out a helmet, "Riddle me this, young Gust, what could be the other part of this gift?"

A bicycle? Or...? I mean, it's not a bicycle helmet, so...

Nimble was handed the helmet, he immediately began examining it. After a while he squeed, "Did you get me a scooter?!"

"Am I that easy to read?" he asked with a smile, "Yes, that is the gift. I will give it to you once we arrive at your house"

---

==[POV - Noctis]==

"...and when I woke up, he was scratching my midrift, still asleep, like, I know I don't have the same workout routine as before, but I haven't gained anything at all. His excuse was 'force of habit,' what type of habit is that?"

"He might act odd at times, but he is a good human"

"I know, kinda why I said 'yes'"

"It's the habit of having a pet, always giving belly scratches"

I gasp, turning around to see Luis leaning on the door way, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were back yet!"

"Sorry for what? Being honest?"

"Where's Nimble?"

"He's looking at the hole with Blueblood. I really need to expand that room. Anyways, sorry if my weirdness bothers you"

"Oh! No! It was quite..." I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks, I don't wan to say enjoyable, it might be weird..., "It was fine, it didn't bother me... just... nevermind..." I looked down at my hands, face and ears as hot as a fire, It felt really nice tho...

"Mom! Grandma!" Nimble ran from behind Luis's legs and jumped to my arms

He called me-! I turned to Nimble with a smile, "Hi, Nimble! How was your day? Did you have fun at Applebloom's? And why are you wearing a helmet?"

"Hello, my little Nimble"

Nimble jumped from my arms onto the couch, "Grandma, grandma! Did you really give Granny Smith the farm before Ponyville existed?"

"It is true, I gave her father the land of the farm"

"Umm... Hello, your highness..." Bluebloods voice was shaky and insecure, "Don't mind me..." he walked to his room doing his best to avoid eye contact

"Applejack gave us some zap apple jam," Nimble broke the silence, "We should eat it!"

Luis took out a jar of rainbow jam, "I've only heard of how good this thing is," he started to make his way to the kitchen, "Anyone want their bread toasted?"

"OOOH! Me! Me!" Nimble jumped on the couch

"Nimble, be careful!" I grabbed him and sat him down, then turn to Luis, "Me too, if you wouldn't mind, thanks"

"I would love to help you in the kitchen, Luis," Celestia stood up and glaced at Nimble, "I will be right back, little one"

==[POV - Luis]==

I entered the kitchen, Celestia right behind me, "I guess you want to talk a bit about Blueblood?" I set the jar on the counter and took the bread out, "Do you want your bread toasted?"

"Yes, and yes please"

"Okay," I placed the bread on a long griddle and turned up the heat, "Sooo... Blueblood... What to tell you... He's out of the negative points, according to my little formula anyways, so there's that," I opened the jar and took out a butter knive, "Would you like some more tea? I noticed the teapot was empty"

"That would be lovely"

I flipped the bread and took some plates out, "I would probably recommend easing up on the whole 'highness' thing, let him feel like his efforts actually get rewarded," I said as I filled the kettle with water and placed it on the flame stove

I heard a sigh of relieve from Celestia, "Thank you"

"But, and there's always a 'but', you still need to be harsh for the moment, just not as harsh as before. He needs to understand that what he did and his actions will never be take lightly again. Until his good attitude becomes a habit anyways, then It doesn't matter too much, habits are hard to break"

She giggles, "Is this why your house seems to different?"

"Hehe, yeah, pretty much. This is more or less what a modern human house looks like in Canada. Two floors with a basement, except the attic is usually empty space and not an actual floor of the house like this one," I place the toast on each plate on a tray, "Later I might buy land in Canterlot and make a house in a colonial-Mexican style, they're beautiful. Anyways, let's go"

"How may I help?"

"Uhh... can yooouu take... the jam and the knife out? Thanks," we moved to the living room and left the stuff on the coffee table, I grabbed the teapot and counted the cups, We need two more, if Blueblood joins us, "Okay, I'll be right back with the tea," I moved back into the kithchen, the kettle already whistling. I readied the tea and got a couple of cups and went back out

---

"Thank you, aunt Celestia," Blueblood bowed deep in gratitude, "I hope we can talk more often"

"There is still many things you have to fix on yourself before that is allowed to happen"

"Of course, Princess," he looked up with a bit of a hopeful smile

"See ya later, grandma!" Nimble jumped and gave Celestia a big hug

"Goodbye, mom, see you in a few days," I gave my signature salute-wave

"It was nice catching up, Princess Celestia," Noctis waved goodbye

"Goodbye, my little ponies," Celestia stepped through the stargate, a few seconds later it closed

"Luis, is it okay if I go to bed early today? Her visit was fairly stressful for me," Blueblood said with an expression I knew all too well, he was mentally drained

We moved from the 'workshop' into the living room, "Sure no problem," I took a glance at my pip-boy, "It's fairly late too, rest easy"

"Thank you," he gave a small bow and went into his room

I turn to Nimble, "Don't you have homework or something?"

"Nope, just getting you ready for tomorrow!" Nimble said smiling

For tomorrow? "Uhh, of course the... thing... tomorrow... how could I ever forget," Tomorrow... Nimble getting me ready for tomorrow... instead of homework... oh... "Yeah, the family appreciation week presentation"

Noctis giggled, "You almost forgot didn't you, you huddy?" she gave me a kiss on the cheek, "Come on, lets get you ready"

I stop on my way to the couch, Wait a minute... "Did we even get mail today?" I asked to the air

"Yes we did, you got a package and letter from Rick," she said pointing at the table

"Oh, thanks," I grabbed the letter and opened it, "Do you know what he send?" Wait... it could't be... not this fast anyways! I began to read the letter and sat on the couch

"What does it say?"

I signal Noctis to give me a second as I finished reading, Holy fuck it is! "It's the thing I asked Rick to make for me," I opened the package and inside was a holotape, "Nice"

"Oooh, It's one of those holo-thingies you like collecting, dad," Nimble said over my shoulder

"Yeah, it is," I inserted the tape into the slot and off it went loading up the info, but instead of showing what the holotape has, it gave me a prompt 'Unofficial add-on detected. Install anyways?' Well yeah... I hope it doesn't break... I pressed yes and more text scrolled by. 'Fixing redundancy errors' and 'intalling compatability patch' were among the few lines I managed to read, "Aaaand... Done!"

"So, what does it do?" Nimble sat next to me staring at the pip-boy

"It will make it easier to count my bits," Now I don't have to worry about putting otherworldy money into this economy, I looked over my bits and I had still over a thousand bits that did belong in this world, That's a relieve, "Now, who wants to play uno?"

"Daaad... You have to get ready for your presentation"

"Oh well, I tried..."

---

Noctis and I laid in bed, she had fallen asleep almost an hour ago. Me, in the other hand, couldn't fall asleep so I laid there stcratching her behind the ears. I passed my hand over her shoulder, brushing her cutie mark, A moon and clouds, so simple yet... elegant... I smiled to myself as I caressed her face, I love you so much... I kissed her forhead, ...so much... I chuckled just as sleep finally took me

Author's Note:

This is the start of a small series I'll be starting, just don't expect updates as fast as Hard Landing. There is no set draft at the moment, but I do have a not quite specific but better than general idea of where I want the story to go. I'll have to work out any bugs in continuity, and I'll definitely have to iron out all the consequences of Luis's presence in Equestria

Enjoy!

Oh, god... what have I gotten myself into... I turned my gaze to the doorway, and Blueblood was pissed

Blueblood hell that is what you got yourself in.
