Breakfast With the Princess

Blaze and the unicorn was sitting by their table at the one of the local cafés in Ponyville, Little café. ”Why can’t you drop the disguise?” Blaze asked the unicorn.

“Because I want to have a normal breakfast without anypony recognize me.” Said the unicorn.

“Whatever you say Celestia.”

She put hand over his mouth. “Don’t call me that, you know that my name now is Sunshine.” She looked around to see if anyone heard him. “Just be glad nopony heard you.”

Blaze just rolled his eyes, he pushed away her hand. “I can’t believe that you still sneak out of the castle.”

Celestia/Sunshine raised an eyebrow. “What? I have done it before.”

“I know and who had to chase you? Me, I was your personal guard and every time you escape the castle, I had to track you down and bring you back to the castle.”

Celestia was to protests but the waitress came, it was a pegasus mare with light blur fur. “Hello, my name is Misty and I will be your waitress, here’s your menu.” She handed two of them to Blaze and Celestia. “What do you two want to drink?”

“Water.” They said at the same time.

“Alright, I go and…” She stopped mid sentence when she saw Blaze, she started to have closer look at him which crept him out. “Wait a minute, are you Blaze Fury?”

Blaze wasn’t sure if he should answer or not, he did. “Yes?” He answered a little concern in his voice.

Then all of sudden she squealed like little girl, chatting the attention of the rest of customers. “Oh my… I am like your biggest fan, I have read the part you like a hundred times. I thought you disappeared four hundred years ago.”

“It was in a time bubble that keep me suspended in time, I didn’t age in the bubble.”

Blaze wasn’t sure if the waitress had listen to him or not, she was just looking at him with goofy look. “This is so cool, let me get your water as fast as I can, I know that I am not as fast as you.” She ran back into the restaurant.

Blaze couldn’t help but rub his face in annoyance, he looked over at Celestia who had trouble keeping her laugh. “You are enjoy this, aren’t you?” He asked her.

“Yes, yes I am.” She said with a smile on her face. Blaze just slammed his head on the table. “Come on Blaze your famous.”

“I don’t want to be famous, I just want to live my life like normal pegasus.” He then look at the restaurant. “I just realized that is not going to happened.” He said with sadness in his voice.

Right now, Celestia felt bad for him. She knew how he felt, begging the ruler of Equestria isn’t easy for her. She can’t walk outside like a normal pony without attracting attention thanks to magic, Blaze can’t. “If it make you feel any better, I know how you feel.”

“It don’t.” Not the answer she was looking for, but she didn’t say anything.

When the waitress came back with their water, they both order egg with hay bacon and some toast. Celestia had never eaten that kind of breakfast before which surprised Blaze.

“So, how was your first day in Ponyville?” Celestia asked Blaze while eating.

“I meet elements of harmony.” Celestia look up from her from food when he said that. “A really charming gang, especially laughter.”

“Oh? Please tell.”

“She want to throw me just because I moved to Ponyville which make no sense.”

“Don’t you want to make friends?” That just confused Blaze so Celestia decided to explain. “Pinkie throws a party when a new pony comes to town so he or she can make friends.”

“Are you telling me she thinks we are friends just because we meet one time.” Celestia nodded. Blaze was just baffled. “That’s not how friendship works, I know it and you know it so why she doesn’t know it?”

Celestia just shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know, I never asked but she believes it.” Blaze just slapped a hand on his face and groaned. “So, what are you going to do now that you are living a normal life?” Celestia asked Blaze.

After done eating and payed for the food, which Blaze did. They decided to take a walk to the park. “I don’t know yet, I was think about getting a job.”

That made Celestia raise an eyebrow. “A job?” Blaze nodded. “Why? You are rich, why get a job?”

“The money my sister left me isn’t going to last forever and besides, I got have something to do. If not, there’s a chance I’ll go crazy.”

“I guess that makes some sense.” They found a bench to sit down on. “I know how you fell.”

This time is was Blaze to raise an eyebrow. “How can you possible know how I fell? All you do is to sit on your ass all day long and give orders to guards who doesn’t listen to you.”

“Hey, I do other things.” Celestia told him in a frustrated tone.

“And what’s that? Listen to other ponies all day long? I was in the castle for one week and only ponies that came in to talk to you was those that lived in Canterlot, ponies with money. Do you even let other ponies from other towns to enter the castle?” Celestia tried to say something but she couldn’t come up with something, she didn’t know. “Oh my… You don’t know, do you?” Celestia looked down on the ground with her ears folded. Blaze couldn’t help but rub his forehead. “I think you should do some changes in the castle.”

Celestia let out a sigh. “I think you are right.” She looked up at him. “How do you that?”

“Do what?”

“Make me see the errors in my way I do things.”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, call it a gift.”

Celestia couldn’t help but smile. “You are to modest for your own good.”

“I don’t know about that part.” That made the princess laugh.

Then Celestia got up. “I think it best I get back to the castle or my sister will send out a search party.”

“Probably for the best.” They said goodbye to each and them Celestia teleported away, leaving Blaze alone. “What I am going to do now?” He then decided to take a walk through town.
