The weekend was over quickly for Blaze, nothing happened major happened only that Rainbow Dash was pouting the whole time after Blaze beat her in Street Fighter, Blaze didn’t really care about that. Blaze was currently at the train station waiting on the train from Canterlot, there was a specific package on that train.
“The train from Canterlot will be arriving shortly.” She a voice over the speakers.
It didn’t take long before the train arrived, when it stop a very unhappy unicorn step out from one of the train carts, Shining Armor, with luggage’s. He has been in a bad mood ever since Celestia had left the castle without him, he was supposed to protect her but instead of that, she went to Ponyville with a guard that was not a guard anymore.
Shining look around the platform until he spotted Blaze, he walk over to him. “Her I am, are you happy?” He told the pegasus when he was close enough.
Blaze could see that he was unhappy. “What’s your problem?” He ask Shining.
“You want to know what my problem is? I’ll tell you what me problem is, I am captain of the royal guard but instead of doing my job I am here in Ponyville to be trained by a guard that is supposed to be dead.” Shining said with annoyance in his voice.
Blaze wasn’t sure if that was an insult or not. “You are here because you did a lazy job training Celestia’s guards, a guard is supposed to obey the princess right away and your guard hesitated every time. Now, I have trained guard before and they have obeyed her orders without hesitation. You can leave any time and return to the castle but be warned, if you do that you will lose your job as captain of the royal guards. The choice is your pick carefully.”
Shining gritted his teeth, as much he hate to admit it, Blaze was right. A guard was supposed to obey princess Celestia’s orders right away, he’s guard didn’t do that when Blaze first showed up. There also been other times when they haven’t done what they have been told.
Shining snorted. “Fine, let’s just get this over with.”
Blaze nodded. “Good, follow me.” Blaze turned around and started to walk towards town, Shining followed him.
Outside the library, sat Twilight Sparkle, relaxing and reading a book. “What a day, sitting outside with a book in nice weather.” She let put a happy sighed. “I love days off.” Then she happened to look in the direction of the train station and she saw her brother walking towards her with Blaze Fury, she couldn’t help but wonder why. “What’s my brother doing here with Blaze?” She asked herself, she decided to find up. Twilight got up and walk over to them.
“Big brother, what are you doing here?” She ask Shining once she caught up to them.
“I am her because princess Celestia thinks I did crappy job in training the guards at the castle so I’m here to get special training by Blaze.” He told her in an annoying tone, he then look at Blaze. “And here’s is something that’s been bothering me, why should I listen to you anyway? Considering what you did to my wife.” That confused Twilight, she had no idea what her brother was talking about.
“I did nothing to her, I just told her what I thought about her decision nothing more. She chose to turn away from Celestia’s path herself.” Blaze explained in a calm voice.
“What are you two talking about.” Twilight ask her brother.
“What? You don’t know? Didn’t Cadence tell you?” Shining asked his sister.
Twilight shook her head. “No, I haven’t talk to her for a while.”
“Well, she is no longer an alicorn anymore thanks to him.” Said Shining while pointing at Blaze who were calm.
“And?”
Shining was shocked by his sister answer. “And? Is that all you have to say? Twilight, she isn’t an alicorn any more and it’s Blaze’s fault.”
Twilight couldn’t help but roll her eyes by her brother behaviour. “What’s wrong with me? The question you should ask is what’s wrong with you? Don’t you love Cadence?”
Shining hesitated a little before answering. “Yes, but…”
Twilight interrupted him. “No buts, if you really love your wife as you say does it really mater if she is an alicorn or pegasus?”
He hesitated again. “I guess you have a point, I love my wife no matter what.”
That made Twilight smile. “Good, then you can stop complaining, you big baby.” She then walked back to the library.
“You’re a baby.” Shining mumble to himself, he then look over to Blaze who had a goofy smile. “Enjoying yourself.”
“Yes, yes I am.”
Shining rolled his eyes. “Whatever, let’s just get this mover with.” He started to walk again, and Blaze followed him.
They eventually arrived at Blaze’s house and Shining was a little surprised to see it, it was your standard two floor house.
“Not what I expected.” Said Shining.
Blaze opened the door. “And what were you expecting?” He asked in with annoyance in his voice.
Shining shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, maybe something bigger.”
“Sorry to disappoint you but this is what I bought.” Blaze stepped aside. “Just get your ass inside.” That he did.
After they went in, they both went to the second floor. There, Blaze opened a door ravelling a room with a bed and night stand. “This is the guest room and your room as long as you are staying here.” Shining nodded as he walk into the room. “I suggest you get some sleep we will start 6 am tomorrow morning.”
Shining almost had a heart attack when he heard that, he turned around. “6 am? Are you crazy? Nopony get up that early.”
“When does the guard get up in the castle?” Blaze asked the unicorn.
“8 am.”
“And there’s you problem, get ready at 6 am tomorrow morning.” He then closed the door leaving Shining alone.
Shining couldn’t help but groan. “What have I gotten myself into?”
