Equestria, Canterlot Archives; Sunday 5:43pm
Princess Celestia seemed as threatening and angry as nopony have seeing her before; flying over Canterlot at great speed right to the Archives. No matter how she had to stop Sweet Pea, that damn little earth pony managed to become her most hatred enemy. She was so angry that her eyes usually pink and cheerful turned orange because of the rage, her mane usually as beautiful as the Aurora boreal turned into a bursting flame; yes, she was furious.
Then she spotted it, the Force Field around the Canterlot Archives. No problem, she destroyed it with a single magic beam and looked down to her soldiers.
“What are you waiting for? GO NOW!”
No need to repeat, the several squads broke into the building in no time, so Princess Celestia looked at the windows and as soon she felt Sweet’s presence, she broke in through it.
“SWEET PEAAAAAAA!” She shouted.
The green earth pony just laughed calmly along with a… human girl?
“So the guest of honor is here!” The both said.
The sight of that human made Celestia stop, slowly the confusion was replacing her anger. Celestia’s expression even softened while she remembered the events of sixteen years ago. She couldn’t believe this, so she had to go through all this again?
However the human girl smiled gently to her and made a military salute.
“Holy Deja-vùs, right?” Said Laura cheerfully. “How are you your Majesty? After several failed attempts Agent Heartstrings finally reports back after my unwilling excursion to the human world. Sorry if I look like this but somehow I changed when I arrived to the other world, sorry about that. But what matters is that I’m back and ready to serve!”
Princess Celestia couldn’t believe this. Lyra Heartstrings was back?
Anyway she forced a smile, she was happy that this human weren’t any stranger but also something inside told her this wasn’t quite right.
“Agent Heartstrings!” Finally managed to say Celestia. “Is so good to see you, but how did you managed to come back?”
Laura shrugged like it was nothing and hugged her friends.
“It was all thanks to the Magic of Friendship and Sweet Pea’s portals: you see my friends arrived looking for me and then all we had to do was wait for him to connect the worlds again”
Bon-Bon lowered her head a little ashamed.
“Sorry I had to disobey a direct Order your Majesty but as you know, Laura is my special somepony and I had to recover her no matter how. Luckily everything is solved now”
And in perfect timing, right after she spoke the Royal Troops arrived dragging several unicorns they captured in several spots of the building. After they saw the threatening version of Princess Celestia they did their best and now everything was back to normal since every time they neutralized a unicorn a portal got closed in the act.
So at the end the Princess of the Sun stared to Sweet Pea with a grin.
“So everything is back to normal now. I don’t know what you were after Sweet Pea but you lost. Now bring me the students who betrayed me, please”
The soldiers just pushed the poor bunch of unicorns to the front who seemed very afraid to their teacher’s anger.
“Too easy your Majesty” said the captain. “If it wasn’t for the plan they were following we could finish this earlier, these idiots aren’t fighters, they’re just academics”
Princess Celestia laughed.
“So you keep smiling after your defeat, Sweet Pea?”
The billionaire shrugged.
“I don’t really care. Your Palace suffered several damages because of my brilliant plan and with a little luck you and I are both sisterless now. So go ahead, do me whatever you want, I already won!”
Celestia’s mane turned into fire again.
“When I lock you in the deepest part of the Tartarus I swear you won’t see the sun again. ANY KIND OF LIGHT!”
But her anger didn’t last because again in perfect timing, a soldier arrived with a letter.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Sorry for interrupting you but a letter from your sister just arrived. She says that sorry if she didn’t answered but she was in the middle of a very important diplomatic meeting in the Minotaur Republic and is asking what happened”
That was it, Celestia finally calmed and began to laugh at Sweet Pea’s misery.
“Ahahahahahaha! So this is it, you lost Sweet Pea! All this plan for nothing!”
That was it, Sweet Pea fell on his knees and began to cry:
“Oh no… all this effort, all my plans… FOR NOTHING! I FAILED YOU DEAR SISTER! I FAILED YOU YUMMY!!”
And began to cry in desperation. A little too forced for anypony; so Vinyl finally face-hoofed.
“Dude, not even your mom would buy it” the DJ sighed annoyed.
Bon-Bon nodded.
“Somepony like you can’t fail because such a basic error”
“Yeah, no more farces, what were you really up to, Sweet Pea?” Asked Octavia calmly. “All of this was planned, we get it. But please stop it already. The truth Sweet Pea!”
The green pony effectively calmed and smirked with satisfaction.
“Yeah, sorry about that but I planned this moment for so long that I just had to play along. Oh, I wish there’s a way to keep this moment forever” he said dreamily.
Laura took her new phone from her jacket.
“I can record it if you want”
One more time the tension filled the room while the Princess of the Sun stared to the smiling earth pony, who was enjoying every second of what was happening. For some reason Celestia shivered, this pony was by far the most unpredictable enemy she ever had; no, this whole thing won’t end well… for her.
At the end she managed to recover a little and confront Sweet Pea.
“So what was your real plan all this time Sweet Pea? Why you threatened my sister?”
Sweet Pea grinned and Laura pressed the RECORD button on her phone, she didn’t want to miss anything.
“You see: you were all too busy trying to locate Princess Luna and evacuating the city and the Castle, that you didn’t noticed the ponies carrying several documents I recovered from your personal Royal Archives, that are connected to this place”
Everypony’s eyes widened in realization.
“So you replaced all the secret documents by old newspapers” mumbled Laura admired by Sweet Pea’s intelligence.
“Of course! I took everything: from every cover-up you ever made, to all the especial information about the Secret Service and several other secret agencies you run. That information include the data of all agents, all the missions and objectives. I kept the cover-up-things but the other one, the military info is ready to be delivered for free to the other Kingdoms. I wonder what would happen if the Minotaur President or the Yak Royalty find out about you spying on the from decades… even the Changelings may have a word with you if they know about the refugees you hide from their evil Queen”
Laura almost drop her phone for the surprise and admiration; all her friends’ jaws fell to the floor and even Celestia had problems to stay stood at the revelation of this mad pony.
“Imagine every single nation in the world turning against Equestira… ponies would be doomed in a matter of days” sighed Sweet Pea. “If only there’s a pony who can stop this tragedy with a single order… but of course in exchange he would demand his freedom, clearance of all criminal record for him and his associates; and of course that certain pony admit in public every single cover-up she ever made in all those years. And I mean everything in front of everypony”
The soldiers looked at Celestia who fell on her knees crying in frustration.
“You! You! You! YOU BASTARD!
“Me what?” Laughed Sweet Pea.
“You actually defeated me…” cried the Princess. “I have no choice but… give you what you want…”
Sweet Pea shrugged in delight.
“I know, right? Truth may hurt but lies may kill. From now on you’ll think twice before you try to cover anything because of me. Now my sister is avenged”
So Sweet Pea offered a hoof to her.
“Do we have a deal?”
“I hate you” sighed Celestia but still accepted it.
“By the way, I’ll keep some secret files just as a life insurance. You know, in case you want some revenge; and judging by your face I better take other measures as well”
The ponies at Sweet Pea’s service screamed in joy, cheering for their boss and the soldiers looked at the earth pony with a mixture of admiration and disgust.
Enjoying so much attention Sweet Pea bowed to his public.
“So now to finish all this, guys open a last portal. I’ll pay you tomorrow in the morning as we agreed”
The unicorns began to glow their horns but Celestia wasn’t going to allow it.
“Oh no, DON’T YOU DARE BASTARD!”
The leader of the unicorn unit just bowed respectfully to her teacher.
“Princess, we’ve been working in this spell for weeks and it’s pretty safe to use now. Besides that’s our last order, to send Agent Heartstrings back home”
“What?
Princess Celestia looked at Laura who lowered her head to the unicorns as thanking them and then looked back to the white alicorn.
“So do you actually thought I didn’t know? At the beginning of this madness I really hated Sweet Pea for what he did, but that experience in the human world reunited me with my family, my true family. A family that had been looking for my for almost sixteen years; wondering what happened with their daughter; and now that we’re back together I don’t allow us to separate again. In fact I came all the way here just to witness how this pony kick your flank and presenting you my resignation. I am a teenage human girl and I plan to keep it that way. Thank you for everything your Majesty, now fuck you very much”
Princess Celestia sighed and shrugged in defeat. Yeah, what else to do now? This was a total defeat and she must go along with all its consequences.
“Okay, I’ll let them open the portal. I owe you at least that agent Heartstrings”
“Not an agent anymore, and the name is Michalekos” declared Laura.
So the unicorns combined their powers to create a last portal to the human world; this was finally over.
“We’ve been practicing a lot doctor so don’t worry. This portal will send you to the last spot we memorized, the place where we sent your friends last time. But if that doesn’t work we have several other places we can lead you”
Laura smiled.
“Oh that’s my new home. Thanks a lot guys”
The green-haired girl then approached to the portal turning to her friends one last time.
“So this is good bye girls. I spent great moments with you guys, but now is time for me to go home. Thank you for everything girls”
Vinyl and Octavia trotted to hug Laura, who returned a quick hug and then looked at Bon-Bon who was staring at the portal holding back her tears.
“So that’s what you decided? Live as a human among humans?
Laura let escape a few tears and ran to kiss Bon-Bon for the last time. The cream-coated mare returned the kiss but they separated quickly.
“That felt a little odd…” mumbled Laura.
“Yeah, let’s never mention it again” shivered Bon-Bon before turning to the Princess. “So Princess Celestia, I’m also presenting you my resignation and need a big favor from you”
Celestia rolled her eyes, great, another one.
“Yeah? What do you need agent Drops?”
“Turn me into a human too!”
The white alicorn nodded tiredly.
“Normally I would lecture you but it’s been a really long day so whatever, I’ll turn you. But just let me warn you: if you ever make a step in Equestria again your body will remember which world does it really belong and you’ll be turning back into a pony. Are you okay with it?”
“Sure!”
Then the Princess concentrated her magic power in the young earth pony wrapping her into a white light that slowly transformed her forelegs into arms and hands, then her back hooves were turned into two firm feet. The tail vanished and the fur turned into a beige dress that fit the young woman perfectly.
“Bonnie, you shouldn’t” mumbled Laura.
“I had to my love. You’re my especial somepony and nothing will change that. Our bodies may change but we’re still us and that’s what matters”
Laura blushed and kissed the new human girl, this time being actually good.
“Ehem, do you mind to wait until you cross the portal to make-out? We’re kind of tired here!” Protested one of the unicorns.
The girls mumbled a quick apology and ran to the portal right after their waved a hand to say good bye to their friends.
“Take care!” Said Octavia.
“Please never forget us!” Smiled Vinyl.
So Bon-Bon crossed the portal to a brand new world and Laura was about to follow her when Celestia stopped her.
“Wait, young Lyra I just want to apology for everything. But I want you to know I did it for the sake of my little ponies and…”
Laura stopped her with a warm smile.
“Don’t worry Your Highness. I think I understand. Thanks God it’s all over now”
The Princess sighed sadly.
“Indeed, I’m not used to be defeated but I guess I kind of deserved this”
“And this!”
The human teenager closed her fist and before the white alicorn could react, Laura threw a punch that broke the Princess’ nose.
“It doesn’t compensate sixteen years of lies… but damn it felt good”
So Laura disappeared in the portal that the unicorns closed this time forever.
In the floor Celestia was rubbing her nose trying the blood to stop coming.
“Officially my worst night ever!”
Human world, Michalekos Residence; 6:07pm
The entire family were in the living room without saying a word, waiting in silence; they stayed like that since the green lighting stopped coming. Would they see Laura again?
Someone called at the door.
Thomas Michelakos moved as an automat to the door. When he opened it the entire world seemed to freeze.
“LAURA!”
The rest of the family ran to join him
“LAURA, YOU’RE BACK!” Cried her mother. “You’re really here!
Laura nodded.
“I made a promise, remember?” smiled the girl.
Chloe just sobbed holding to her sister’s leg.
They stayed like that for long minutes but at the end they had to slowly separate.
“For a moment we thought you would stay in Equestria, you know, since you… sorry I still don’t fully believe you had a pony girlfriend” said Selena Michalekos.
“Yeah, what happened with that girl?” Wanted to know Thomas.
Laura smiled and waved her arm to a blue-haired girl who was looking at them at distance.
“That’s what I wanted to tell you: mom, dad, Chloe; I brought some company. Do you remember Bon-Bon?”
“Of course we remember her, come here!” Smiled Selena.
So the group hug resumed plus one.
“Now what? Should I read your books to learn about human customs?”
“That make two of us but it’ll be easier that way” assured Laura.
It was the end.
“But you can’t be called Bon-Bon” said Chloe. “It sounds weird”
“So how shall we call you then Bonnie?” Asked Laura.
Selena’s eyes sparkled.
“That’s it! Bonnie! It sounds cute and it’s more human than Bon-Bon” smiled the woman.
Bonnie nodded happily.
“So it’s decided then, from now I’m on Bonnie”
“Welcome to the family dear”
