Chapter 37
Cupcakes
Onyx walked in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. That morning had been so busy; first he and Twilight couldn’t find her book on the Badlands’ history. Then after breakfast they went to meet Twilight’s friend, Fluttershy. In addition to the fact that she was—staying true to her name—adorably shy, she seemed like an overall good pony. Onyx helped her feed the little woodland creatures and they had tea together. He would have prefered a glass of wine, but Twilight wouldn’t allow it.
After tea, Onyx and Twilight went separate ways. Twilight needed to buy a few things at the market and she had Onyx meet her friend Pinkie Pie at the bakery. A tired Prince entered Sugarcube Corner, ringing the bell as he stepped inside. The cashier, a grey pegasus stallion with a dark purple mane, pulled his nose out of the book he was reading.
“Good afternoon, and welcome to Sugarcube Corner, where ...... Onyx? By Celestia’s flank, Onyx, how long has it been like, what ... 15, maybe 16 years?” said the pegasus, stepping out from behind the counter to greet Onyx like an old friend. Onyx had no idea who he was.
“Wait, you don’t recognize me, right? It’s me, Orion ... still nothing?”
“I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t recall...”
“But it’s me, remember? We were in the same class together in primary school. I was always with my twin sister, Aurora ... We played hide-and-seek, and I was alway the worst one. You remember Aurora, right? And our little gang with Axandrea and Vallis?”
The names had been very familiar. Of course he remembered Vallis; he and Raynor helped him escape from the Emperor? Slowly, the memories came back...
“Wait, Orion. Yeah, I remember now. I remember you getting lost behind a shed and taking so long to find us that your sister had to help you!” recalled Onyx. “Twilight wrote about you in one of her letters. How have you and the gang been all this years?” asked Onyx.
“I’ll gladly tell you, but not before I have you try one of the cupcakes.” Onyx sat on a barstool at the counter and Orion went back into the kitchen to grab some desserts. When he returned, he and Onyx began eating before catching up.
“ You know, when you left for the Gryphon Kingdom, we were all so sad that you went without saying goodbye; it was especially hard on Axandrea. She was so angry after you left ... we were all scared of her for a little while.” Orion took another bite of a cupcake before continuing. “About two years passed before Vallis disappeared too.”
Onyx thought, “That must have been when he was recruited as a spy.”
“Shortly after, Axandrea got expelled for a fight and returned to the Griffon Kingdom. Over the years, our little gang broke apart. My sister, Aurora, become a music teacher and now lives in Hoofington. We always wondered why we didn’t hear from you; we figured that maybe you forgot about us.”
Then Orion told him what he’d done after Onyx left. A few years after graduation he moved to Ponyville, and Twilight introduced him to Pinkie Pie. He started working in Sugarcube Corner, and he and Pinkie had been secretly dating. He told Onyx an embarrassing story about how Twilight and a few of her friends thought he had the hots for Big Mac until Pinkie had mentioned they’d been seeing each other...
Twilight finished buying her few hundred quills and a cauldron of ink for the week, and was trotting towards Sugarcube Corner. She hoped that Pinkie hadn’t broken him; Onyx was certainly not used to being around ponies as energetic as Pinkie Pie ... well, no pony really was. When she entered the bakery, she saw her coltfriend talking and laughing with the cashier, Orion. They seemed to be having fun.
“Hi Onyx, looks like you’ve met Orion. What’re you guys talking about?” asked Twilight, taking a seat next to Onyx. He giving her a kiss and slid her the half of a cupcake.
“Nothing really, he wanted to know how much cake Celestia eats everyday.”
“And how much?” asked the now curious unicorn.
“Tut-tut, national secret. I can’t tell you.”
“But I’m your marefriend ... doesn’t that make me like a princess?”
Onyx hugged her. “Not yet, we have to get married first, if you’re going to be a princess...”
Sadness flashed across Twilight’s face as she realised something. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be closer to Onyx or a Princess but, if she was royalty she might have to move away from Ponyville; having to choose between her friends and Onyx was something that she would never want to do...
Leaning over, Onyx whispered into her ear, “But you’re already royalty to me, the Princess of my heart. You’re perfect, and you don’t need to be a princess or an alicorn to hold my heart between your soft, delicate hooves.”
He nibbled her ear, and Twilight blushed before giving him a passionate kiss. Him telling her that was something that she’d only ever dreamed of.
“Wait ... you two are dating?” Orion awkwardly asked.
Twilight was the first to answer. “Yes ... and we should have been for a long time.” Onyx kissed her again in agreement.
They all ate their meal, talking about everything and anything, until Onyx remembered why he was at Sugarcube Corner in the first place.
“Orion, maybe you could help me; you’re dating Pinkie Pie, could you tell me where I could find her. She’s the only one of Twilight’s friends I haven’t met yet.”
“Uhm ... she left last night just before we closed the shop. Apparently there was some big event that happened. She said a whole bunch of ponies had been waiting for the past few years and she needed to help celebrate. We probably won’t see her until after the party preparations.”
***
Onyx and Twilight were in the park, lying under a tree and watching the sunset as they snuggled.
“Do you think Princess Celestia will approve of us dating?” asked Twilight, resting her head on Onyx’s chest, enjoying him scratching behind her ears. “Last time she was so upset...”
“Don’t worry, Twiley, I’m sure she’ll be happy with it eventually ... on the other hoof ... I wonder if she’ll be unhappy when she finds out that I fled my responsibilities to come here,”
“Isn’t it Luna who should be angry?”
“In the end, I think both of them will be angry at me.” Twilight, wanting to do anything to help keep her coltfriend out of trouble, sat up off of Onyx’s chest and went through her saddlebag that was behind the tree where they were lying. She floated out two sheets of paper, ink, and two feathers.
“What’s that for?” asked Onyx
“Well, I think we should tell them what’s happening before they find out themselves; so, we will write them letters!” Twilight exclaimed almost a little too enthusiastically. She levitated a scroll to Onyx and kept one for herself; they both started writing. Twilight, being the faster writer, finished before Onyx and used the free-time to oggle the Prince. Watching him write a letter put butterflies in her stomach.
“Signed ... Your son. All done, but how do we send it to them ... we don’t even know where they are.”
“That’s easy, Spike can send it to Celestia.” She used her magic to teleport the scroll to Spike, who was still at Carousel Boutique with Rarity—not that he would ever complain.
“...Why didn’t you just teleport them directly to Mother?”
“Well, they are probably too far out of my range for teleportation, and when you want to teleport something, you need to have a mental image in your head of the place that you want it to appear. But I’ve read in one of Starswirl’s books that if a unicorn’s magic is strong enough and they use the right cata—” Twilight little lesson was interrupted; her lips were locked with Onyx’s.
“I love it when you talk nerdy to me...”
Men I sad that the whole gang just broke apart, I wish in the future they will reunite, I'm specially wonder what is the deal with Axandrea, for the tale she looks like having a crush on Onyx, and when did he meet AJ and Dash?
That last line!
(o_0)
2453558

Oh right I remember, je he even won a match against Dash, jejeje sorry. And I don't see to much problem with them being mad, if anything they will be mad with Candace, she is the one that take over after Onyx and treating him of going.
Next chapter Onyx will return to court right? Candace said she will cover a couple of days, she has responsibilities too, the whole thing is solve he should return home now

Because even train wrecks are fun to watch! But seriously, you go too hard on yourself O_o
You are the author, you put your time and effort into this, so you can do whatever the hell you want to it. If other people don't like it, they can anally probe themselves with a barbwire-cactus dildo with lemon juice lube.

Dat Chapter title. Well it was worth the wait (as always) and I wondered if Axandrea would of know where Onyx was if she went back to the griffin kingdom a little after onxy was kidnapped.

No.
2454617
Maybe she's going to help rescue Vallis and Raynor?
Going back to what Chrysalis did to Onyx, I would love it if you made Onyx turn into like a corrupted killing machine with tendrils and shit. (Hmm...)

That would TOTALLY kick ass...
2456194

2456955
What the Canada will have to do with my writing skill?
2457356 reference to south park. In all honesty it was a spur of the moment thing.
2457374
Hahahah maybe i should listen this show for understand the joke.
Btw two new chapter soon
2456303 He could be put into hypnoses
This is just getting bucking seedy...You should probably tone down the dirty comments.
2460282
i know right? All this RP in the comment
So did you like the story (minus the Trixie part?)
2460616
It was actually pretty good! I'm still a bit disturbed that you chose Trixie of all ponies but I like the originality of this story!
You can continue and I shall continue to read.
2405399
That just sounds wrong!!
2462431
Meh at the start i wanted to pick Octavia or Spitfire but Trixie was a more...chaotic choice
Random guess: Pinkie is gathering all of Onyx's old friends (minus Vallis) and is gathering them together for a surprise party for Onyx.
God I hope this happens .
The second and third bits, split from the first and fourth, are incorrect seeing as it seems more like Onyx and his hardships with love with Twilight, and it happens through Season 1 and on.
2466243
could you explian i did not understand
2466384 "(Precedes season one)" It starts before Season One and runs into it. Maybe even into Season Two; I wouldn't know, having not truly read beyond the first chapter (I have so much to read on this site alone).
"A story of love and family between a mother and her son." Seems like more of a story of the son's love affairs as a spoiled (not in the asshole way of Blueblood) prince teen from the snippets I've gotten as I copypasta the story manually to my MP3.
That last sentence.
2466455
ok humm....this is more the description of the first few chapter, if you read the story you will saw that is go far more complicated than that
2466575 I will read more. I can't promise I will like it and read far, but I will read more. But, it is misleading to have this stated. I suggest you change it to say "(Begins before Season 1)".
You also only need to mention the editor because it would be obvious you are the writer since you put it up (FiM doesn't allow plagirism or reuploading).
2466580
i changed the precede season one Hope you will like the story
2466633 (Begins before Season One)
Edited by [url= his page] (xIMPERSONATORx)
At least mention the fact he has many affairs with the mother-son bit?
Just some final corrections and mentioning it's a big... quirk? Eh, *shrugs*
I have a feeling, from reading some of the end bits on chapters, that I won't like how it goes. But, Hell, I might because it's realistic, if we are honest.
2467175
i did not know about page 42 but the other are related yes
Is it just me, or does Onyx grow up to be the spitting image of Yuri Lowell from the video game Tales Of Vesperia?
2469029
