Taling To Princesses, Punching A Prince

As Blaze and Celestia entered the Castle all the staff and guards stopped what they were doing to looked at them, they watch as Blaze walked past them, Celestia just watch as he walked off to his room.

Celestia felt a little bad for yelling at him but he need to hear it, she noticed the staff and guards was staring at her. “What are you looking at? Get back to work.” That got them to react, Celestia rub her tempest. ‘What a morning.’ She then started walked towards Shining Armours office to have a chat with him.

When Blaze arrived at his room he went straight inn and closed the door, he leant against the door and let out a heavy sight. Finding out that his sister had left him money and that she had managed to survive her sickness had taken more energy of him then he expected, he stared to walked towards the bathroom for a shower, but he didn’t get far. Someone knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a pink alicorn he had never seen before. She had the biggest smiled he had ever seen. “Can I help you?” He asked the alicorn.

The Alicorn let out a little squeal. “Are you Blaze Fury?” She asked him.

Blaze hesitated a little. “Yes? And who are you?”

“My name is Cadance and I’m the princess of love.” Blaze snort when he heard her tittle. “And ever since I have been a kid I always wanted to meet you.”

That confused Blaze. “Why do you care who I am? You are an alicorn, not a pegasus.”

Cadance rubbed her neck. “You see, I was a pegasus and Celestia made into a alicorn…”

She didn’t get to finish that sentence. “Let me get this straight, you gave up being a pegasus, so you can become an alicorn?” Cadance nodded very slowly. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He took a step forward while Cadance step backwards.

“Celestia told me that it was my destiny.” She said in scared tone.

Blaze couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Your destiny? Was it your destiny to give up your pride as pegasus?” He pointed a finger at her. “Let me tell you something, if you let someone ells control your destiny then you are lost, especially if you are pegasus. Why don’t you come back when you have gotten rid of that horn on your head, then we can talk.”

Blaze went back into his room and slam the door shut leaving a heartbroken Cadance in the hallway, all her life she wanted to meet Blaze Fury, her hero. Thanks to that she was now an alicorn, that dream was broken. She decided to head back to her room, she walked back with her head hung low.

Meanwhile had Celestia arrived at Shining Amour office, it was about she had a talk when it came to the guards Shining trained. She knocked on the door. “Come in.” That was Shining, she opened the door and she saw that her captain was sitting behind his desk. He was a little surprise to see her. “Princess Celestia, what do I owe this visit?”

She took a set on the chair in front of here. “I want to talk about the level of you guard Shining Amour.”

Shining groaned when he hard that. “Don’t tell me you are still upset over what happened this morning.”

“Yes, I’m very upset. Twice in two days you and your guard have hesitated when I have giving an order, this has to stop.” She told him.

“But princess, I don’t understand why you trust the Blaze Fury more than you trust your own guards.”

“I trust him because he can follow orders and he have save my life more than one time, you and your guard on the other hand can take a simple order.” She stood up and grabbed his shirt. “Now you listen to me Shining, from now on I expect that you and the rest of my guards follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?” Right now, was Shining terrified and all he could was to shake his head very fast. “Good, I expect that you tell the other guards that from now they will listen to me when I give them an order. If they don’t, you will spend the rest of you time her cleaning toilet with your tongue.” She let go of him and walked out from his office, Shining just sat there and his entire body was trembling. “I need to chance me underwear.”

Blaze had just had shower and was in the bedroom getting dressed, he had just but on his pants when he heard someone knock on his door. “What now? It better not be Cadance again, I’m in the mood” He opened the door and what he saw was not Cadance, but Luna and it looked like she hadn’t sleep that night, Blaze crossed his arms. “Is there something I can help you with?”

“Yes, I was hoping that I could talk to you.” She told him.

“If you want to talk then talk.”

“Can we talk inside your bedroom?”

Blaze sighed. “Fine, come in.” He stepped aside so Luna could walk in, he closed the door and walked over to bed. “What do you want to talk about?” He stared to put on his t-shirt.

“About last night, I want to apologize.”

That just confused Blaze. “Why are you apologizing to me? I am the one who should apologize to you, which I’m not going to do.” He turned to face her. “Why the apologize?”

She rubbed her arm. “I want to apologize for going into your dream last night, I shouldn’t have done that.” Blaze was now even more confused, and Luna saw that. “You see, dreams and be categorized into two dreams; a normal dream and a nightmare. What you had last night was a nightmare, I don’t usually go into those dreams but yours was so intense that I couldn’t resist.” She looked down on the floor. “I’m sorry.”

Blaze felt bad for Luna. She was here, and she is apologizing to him. Now he felt bad for threatening her yesterday. “Tell you what, if you promise never to go into my dreams again I will accept your apologize and I will give you an apologize for what I did yesterday.” He stuck out his hand. “Deal?”

Luna gladly took it. “Deal, I promise as one of the princess of Equestria that I will not go into one of your dreams again, good or bad.”

“That’s good to hear and for that, I accept your apologize and I apologize for threating you and scaring you.”

“That’s okay, after some thinking I realized that I don’t have permission to entered other ponies dreams. Princess or not.”

“Maybe you do or maybe you don’t, I think it’s up to the ponies of Equestria to decide of you can entered their dreams or not.”

Right now, Luna felt like an idiot. She had never though about asking the ponies of this land to enter their dreams, she just enter them. She hung her head in shame. “I feel like an idiot.”

“What make you say that?” Blaze ask her.

“All these year I have enter others dreams without permission when I should have just asked them.” She raised her head and gave Blaze a serious face. “If you will excuse me, I have work to do.” She turned around and walked towards the door.

“Where are you going?”

She stopped and turned around to look at Blaze. “I’m going to the media and ask the ponies of Equestria about what they think about that I’m going into their dreams without their permission.” With that said she walked out of the room leaving Blaze alone.

He scratched his head. “Well, that happened.” He decided it was time to fly, he walked over to the balcony door and open it. He spread his wing and took flight.

Meanwhile in Ponyville.

Scootaloo was running as fast as she could to the club house, she had to tell Applebloom and Sweetie Belle the great news. She burst through the door breathing heavily, she put both hands on her legs to try and catch her breath. Her friend who was sitting on the floor reading comics, just stared at their friend.

“Scootaloo, is there a reason why you almost broke the door to the club house and are out of breath?” Applebloom asked her pegasus friend.

“Yes… you… won’t… believe… what… has… happened…” She managed to say between breaths.

“Scootaloo, take a deep breath and tell us what happened.” The unicorn told her friend.

Scootaloo did as Sweetie Belle said. “You two will never believe what happened someone donated five thousand bits to the orphanages in town.”

Applebloom and Sweetie Bell’s eyes widen and theirs mouth feel to the floor when they heard that, they couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Applebloom was the first to recover.

“Five thousand, that’s a lot of money.”

“Yeah, tomorrow is miss Feather is taking us all to a movie and then we are going to get something to eat while we are getting new beds and stuff.” Scootaloo said with a big smile on her face.

“Do you know who send the money to the orphanages?” Sweetie Bell asked her friend.

Scootaloo shook her head. “No, the check didn’t have a name. Miss Feather tried asking the bank, but they didn’t know either.”

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked at each other wondering who had so much money.

Outside Trottingham.

Krystal had just gadder the mail and was walking towards the house while looking through to what they got. “Bill, bill, advertising, same old.” Then she came to the last envelop and that catch her attention. “Canterlot bank, that weird.” She opened it and when she saw the check that was inside of it her heart almost stopped. “Holly shit.” She ran towards the house as fast she could.

AppleZack was sitting in the living room playing with his son when his wife burst in main door, scaring their soon in the process. That made the little one to cry, Zack lifted his son into his lab trying to comfort him.

He looked over to his wife. “Do you have a good reason for scaring out son?” He asked his wife.

She walked over to them. “Yes, I have. Take a look at this check.” She handed the check over to her husband.

He took it and saw it was a check and saw that it was from Canterlot bank, then he saw how much it was. His mouth almost fell to the floor. “Five thousand bits, who is this from?” Before he could see that, his wife told him.

“Blaze Fury.”

“Blaze Fury? Are you sure?” She nodded. He looked at the check closer and she was right, it was from the solider. “Why would he send us a check and how could he have so much money?”

“Maybe he wanted to pay us from letting him stay here and the money part, I have no idea. Should we keep the money?”

Zack looked at check. “I think we should, we really need the money and it would be rude not to do it.” It was decided, they were keeping the money.

Celestia had just finished her daily duty and was on her way to visit Blaze, on her way there she saw Cadence walking towards her with her head hanging low. “Cadance, is everything alright?” The pink alicorn looked up at Celestia with a sad face. “Are you okay?” She asked with concern in her voice.

Cadence just walked past her. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

Celestia grabbed her arm. “My dear niece, talk to me.”

Cadence swap away the arm. “I said I don’t want to talk about it and stop calling me your niece, last time I check we are not related.” After that she stormed off leaving a very confused Celestia alone.

“What just happened?” She asked nobody in particular.

After that incident with Cadence she arrived at Blaze’s room, she knocked on the door and walked inn. Once inside she noticed that the room was empty. ‘Where is he?’ Then she saw that the balcony door was open, she knew what he was doing. She walked out from the room and closed the door.

It was getting dark in Equestria and ponies were heading home from work, over Canterlot flew Blaze towards the castle. When he landed in front off the castle doors the two guards gave him a salute when they saw him land, he just rolled his eyes and ignored them both. Once inside he was about to walk to his room when he heard someone shouting.

“What’s wrong with you stupide mare? Can’t you watch where you are walking?”

Blaze looked in the direction where the voice was coming from, what he saw made his blood boil. He saw a white unicorn with blond hair shouting at poor mare who was lying on the floor, there were broken stuff on the floor.

“I’m so sorry prince Blueblood.” The mare said in a shaky voice.

“You are sorry, look at my clothes. They are ruined, do you have any idea what they cost?” The mare shook her head. “That’s what I thought, now I have to by some new one and that will come out from your paycheck.”

Blaze had heard enough, he walk towards them. “Hey, leave her alone.”

That got the mare and Blueblood to look at Blaze. “Stay out of this peasant.” The prince told Blaze. “This have nothing to do with you, so leave.”

Blaze could withstand being called a lot but peasant, there was the line. “And what exactly has this mare done that made you this upset?” He aske Blueblood in a calm voice.

“She walked straight into me and ruined my best dress.” He answered Blaze while pointing at the big stain on his shirt.

Blaze didn’t understand why the fuzz was about, the stain could be removed by washing it. He then looked at the mare. “Is this right? Did you walk right into him?”

The mare was a little unsure if she should tell the truth or not but then saw Blaze eyes, they were so kind. “It partially true, I was in a hurry and I did say to prince Blueblood to watch out, but he didn’t listen. He was just walking towards me with his head up high.

That made Blueblood furious. “How dear you?I never heard you say anything, I will but you in jail for your…”

That was all Blueblood could say before he hit the floor unconscious, the mare and the guards that was watching was trying to understand what just happened. One moment he was yelling and the next moment he was on the floor knock out.

“Take a nap asshole.” Blaze help the mare up on her feet. “You okay there?”

“Yyyyes, thank you.” She replied in shaking voice.

“Your welcome.” Blaze looked at two guards that had seen the hole thing. “You two.” Both were a little unsure if they were supposed to obey him. “Come over here.” They walked over to Blaze. “Take this idiot to the dungeon.”

Both guard’s eyes widen when he said this. “Are you sure general? This is princes Blueblood.” Said one of the guards.

“I don’t care who he is, he can’t go around and screaming at other ponies like this. Take him to dungeon so he can think over what he done and if he asks who put him there, you can blame Shining Armor. Now, MOVE.” That got the two guards to react, they grabbed Blueblood and dragged him to the dungeon. Blaze looked the mare who was stunned. “You going to be okay?” She gave him a nod. “Great.” Blaze walked of leaving the mare, who was still trying to figure out what just happened.

Night has fallen over Equestria and Celestia had finally finished her duty, she was on her way to Blaze room to see how he was doing and have a talk with him of what have happened today. Once she arrived she knocked on the door. “Come in.” That was Blaze, she walked inn.

Once inside she saw something she didn’t ever thought she would see, Blaze was using the computer that was in the room. She had to blink a couple of time to make sure that she was seeing things right, Blaze was sitting by the desk using the computer.

“Hello sister.”

That voice made Celestia almost jump out of her fur, she calmed herself down and looked at the bed and there was her sister lying on her stomach with her legs up in the air.

“Luna, what are you doing here?” She asked her sister.

“I’m here to visit Blaze and right now I’m watching tv.” Luna told her sister.

Celestia looked at the tv and it was showing some soap opera, she had never showed interest in those things, but Luna loved them. Celestia never understand why.

She then looked between her sister and Blaze couple of times. “Are you two friends now?” She asked them.

“I would not say that, she came earlier in the day and apologize for going into my dream and then I apologized for scaring her, if she stayed out of my dreams.” Blaze told her.

Celestia just gave them a nod. “What about now? You have night duty Luna.”

Luna just groaned. “It’s so boring and besides, nothing happened at night. I don’t understand why I have to do this.”

“It may be boring but is our duty as a ruler of Equestria.” Luna just ignored what her sister said and went back to her soap opera, Celestia just rolled her eyes of her sister behavior. She walked over to Blaze.

“Is there something you want Celestia?” He asked her.

“Yes.” She cleared her throat. “I want to talk to you about what happened today, with…”

“…Cadance and Blueblood.” Blaze finished for her.

That got Luna attention. “What did you do with Cadance and Blueblood?”

“Well, I punched Blueblood in the face and then I got him looked up in the dungeon and I let Shining take the blame.” When Luna heard that she started to laugh, Blaze just ignored that and counited. “And with Cadance, I told her that I didn’t like that you had turned her into a alicorn because you said it was her destiny.” He stopped what he was doing and turned around to face Celestia, he looked a little angry and that made Celestia a little nervous. “Why did you say that to her?”

“I didn’t do anything, she chose that path herself.”

Blaze didn’t believe her. “I think that’s bullshit, I think that you convinced her that she destined to alicorn and not a pegasus. You tried to convince Soul four hundred years ago but luckily for him he saw right through your lies.” He went back to the computer. “If you want to stay on my good side I suggest that to talk to Cadance and give her a choice, the choice to become a pegasus again.”

Right now, Celestia felt one thing, guilt. She hates to admit it, but Blaze was right. She had to manipulated Cadance, Soul and Twilight. He might not have said it that way, but he was right, she decided chance that. Celestia left the room leaving a very confuse Luna with Blaze.

She looked over to him. “What just happened?” She asked him.

“You don't know?”

She tilted her head. “Know what?”

“What she did four hundred years ago?”

“No, my sister doesn’t talk about the past. She said it hurts to talk about it.”

“I can’t blame her on that part.” He stopped what he was doing, he turned around. “When I was guard four hundred years ago Celestia had a student name Soul, he was a talented unicorn with great potential and a good heart. One day he managed to figure out a spell that Celestia had send him and then he was ready to become a alicorn, Soul refused. That angered Celestia, she told him that it was his destiny to become an alicorn, do you know what he said?” Luna shook her head. “He said that he will decide his own destiny.”

“What happened next?”

“Well, they had big fight and then Soul just left one day. I never saw him again.” He told her with sadness in his voice.

“He was your friend, wasn’t he?”

“Yeah, he was my only friend I had back then. The others just disappeared.” Luna was about to ask who he was talking about. “Well, back to the computer.” He turned the chair back and started to surf again.

Luna wanted to ask who he was talking about, but she just shrugged it off. She decided to ask what he was doing on the computer. “What are you looking for?”

“Trying to find a house to buy, it’s not easy to find a place to live.”

Luna thought for a moment. “May I suggest Ponyville.”

“Ponyville? Where the elements of harmony lives,” Blaze pressed some buttons on the keyboard. “Let’s see her.” He became silenced while he looked. “The price on a house there aren’t that bad, I may just by a house there. I just have to wait for my credit card to come.” He then yawned. “Damn, I’m more tiered than I thought. I better get some sleep, something tells me that you sister is going to be mad at me tomorrow.” He told Luna while turning off the computer.

“Why would my sister be mad at you?” Luna asked with confusion in her voice.

“After I was done flying a was hungry so found a restaurant that sold ‘pizza’ and since I didn’t have any money I told them to send the bill to Celestia.”

Luna couldn’t help but laugh a little when she heard that. “Yeah, I don’t think that my sister is going to like that but there is no pizza restaurant in Canterlot.”

“No, but there one in Manehattan.” He told her while getting up from the chair.

“You flew to Manehattan? How long did it take?”

He just shrugged his shoulders. “I have no idea, I just flew around Equestria until I was tired. When I too tired to fly anymore I was in Manehattan.”

Luna just stared at him in amazed. “How fast are you?”

He thought for a second. “I have no idea.”

Luna couldn’t help but chuckle while she shook her head. “I don’t think I have ever meet a pony like you Blaze Fury.”

“My sister always told me that I was one of a kind, I never believed here.” He clapped his hands together. “Okay, I don’t mean to be rude but I’m kicking you out of my room. I going to have a shower before I go to bed.”

“Don’t worry, I have to go to my night duty.” She just groaned when she said that. “Sometimes I wish I was not a princess.”

Luna left the room and Blaze couldn’t help but smile at her, he then walked to bathroom to take a shower.
