It's been a week since the Equestrian-Vipis Kingdom War. Princess Twilight knew that Prince Purple wasn't happy and just sad.
Princess Twilight know on why Prince Purple is sad. He told her it's because young ponies age of seventeen to twenty-two are finding love. Since millions of ponies have died since the Vipis Kingdom firebombed Equestria and the war, marriage rates been skyrocketing.
Prince Purple tried but he couldn't find a mare who would date him. The ones who would date him quickly found out that he isn't open about what he did in the war against the Vipis Empire or the small one where he fought against family he didn't have.
Prince Purple didn't have the guts to open up on what he experienced in both wars. He killing ponies so he was self centered on what he experienced.
His Royal Guardsmare a female adult, her cutie mark is two hockey sticks, she's average height, strong figure, flat long mare, long very tail with fetlocks and she's missing her right leg she has a prosthetic. Her body is Wild Willow, her eyes are Turquoise Blue, and mane & tail are Royal Blue.
On his right side his Royal Guardsmare she placed her leg around him.
"It's alright." said Private Apple Bender, "Heck Prince I'll date you your already cute and cuddly. Should we go inside it's chilly out, Prince?"
The two entered and Prince Purple used his magic to close the balcony door.
Another one of Prince Purple Artist's Royal Guards entered holding a cup of hot chocolate then gave it to him.
"Uh Prince?" said Apple Bender, "Why is 90% of your Royal Guard mares? I'm not judging you just asking."
"I prefer mares over stallions." said Prince Purple, "I don't have nothing against stallions two of four of my and Princess Twilight's advisors are stallions. Our Economic and Foreign Advisors are stallions and our Military and Science advisors are mares."
"Have you played hockey before?" asked Private Apple Bender, "We could play a few rounds if you want?"
Prince Purple told Apple Bender no he's more of a football and baseball pony. Hockey isn't his style.
Prince Purple then went for a run even though it's snowing but he ordered his Royal Guards to stay at the castle.
A hour later Prince Purple came back in time for dinner. Princess Twilight asked on where he was for a hour just to know and not to invade his privacy or anything she just wants to know.
Prince Purple told her that he won't ever find a mare to marry so he decided to donate his sperm where never know somepony might use it to have a foal.
Princess Twilight respected her cousin on what he did due to a lot of stallions died in the war over mares. Since Purple's a prince there's some mares out there that would love to carry a foal and continue the Royal bloodline.
Prince Purple quickly finished his dinner and left the room sadden. Prince Purple feels like he let down all those soldiers who died. He told them over somekind of radio from the aircraft carrier to stay alert and vigilant and they'll all make it home safe.
From the mainland in Equestria in all the cities they fought in a total of 35,478 were killed and when they moved south into the southern mainland of Equestria a total of 119,200 were killed for a total of 154,678.
That;s not including the battle for Horsolulu with 3,110 Equestrian Marines killed or a nighttime airborne raid at Trottingham with 2500 Equestrian Paratroopers dead. Most shot before they could get there chutes off or drowned.
Prince Purple had to live with that most soldiers were stallions between the age of eighteen to twenty-two. Prince Purple then instructed his Royal Guards to keep all ponies out even Princess Twilight out.
They questioned his order that they can't block Princess Twilight out because she's a princess. If she don't have enough guards then they have to go and serve her until new guards can be brought up. Then they can go back to him.
Prince Purple told them that to do it but Apple Bender was the only one in his room.
Prince Purple then looked at his hooves just reflecting all the ponies and other creatures he killed so tried to save. They bled out on his hooves.
Prince Purple then went to take a nap only to awaken up twenty minutes later which was five pm.
Private Apple Bender woke Prince Purple up. She captured a mare reporter who tried to sneak into his room via the balcony.
Prince Purple dismissed Private Apple saying that she isn't a threat but a friend he made back in high school and she was in the school journalism club.
"Valkyrie Achilles." said Prince Purple, "How have you been?"
The pegasus is a adult mare, her cutie mark is about being a librarian, she's tiny with a athletic figure, wispy mane that's short, very long long with trimmed fetlocks, she's pink swan with Geraldine eyes, Pomegranate & Abbey mane & tail. She has a Fringy Flower
Fedora hat.
"I've been fine." said Valkyrie, "How have you been? Can't believe that your a prince. What about being a G.I.?''
Prince Purple told her that he was a G.I. but since Twilight Sparkle became princess she had him turn into a alicorn. So he could rule along side with her but his political weight is weightless and he don't have any say unless if it's war or a threat against Equestria.
Valkyrie wanted to ask Prince Purple Artist a few questions.
Prince Purple told her he'll answer any question as long it ain't political or about the war, Vipis Kingdom or any of the three.
"Purple. I mean Prince Purple." said Valkyrie, "Ponies been wondering on why you haven't been taken yet? Ponies been asking on why you haven't been able to find a mare to be married yet?"
"Haven't yet." said Prince Purple, "Been dating to find the right mare. I'm also not married yet due to my past marefriends been killed off and my first left. I'm mostly in the mood for a mare named Sapphire to swoop off of her legs or hooves, date her, marry her, and have foals."
"What's it like?" asked Valkyrie, "Being the first Prince in Equestrian? How is it even though you don't have a lot of political weight?"
"Fine at times." said Prince Purple, "It can be a pain in the flank knowing I don't have any political clout. I have clout of what new buildings are constructed. Well, I have some authority. I have authority of new military, defense, intelligence, & some public safety I have sayings over those."
"You said you have clout over building construction." said Valkyrie, "Care to share on what type of buildings?"
"Sure." said Prince Purple, "Barracks, Drill Schools, Military Academies, Army Boards, Army Colleges, Ordnance Factories, Gunnery Schools, Ordnance Boards, Engineering Schools, Naval Boards, Naval Colleges, Armories, & Military air fields."
"Interesting." said Valkyrie, "Any other type of buildings you have a say over?"
"Yup." said Prince Purple, "The Spy academy, Ministry of Information, News, Security Checkpoints. Fire stations and Police Stations. I have control over those. You could say that I'm the "Prince of Equestrian Defense." I still need my cousin's approval as well to make sure I don't go willy nilly and overspend the Equestrian budget."
Valkyrie asked on what is the Equestrian Budget?
Prince Purple honestly couldn't answer due to he doesn't know. Prince Purple left and had to ask the Equestrian Economic Advisor.
Prince Purple came back and told her it's fourteen trillion bits.
Valkyrie asked on why all but two of his personal Royal Guards are mares.
Prince Purple Artist told her that he likes it that way. Mares to him are the type to not to backtalk, not to question orders, and to him they're more cuter in uniform over stallions.
Prince Purple even told her that he has nothing against stallions but he just prefers mares.
The interview was done.
Prince Purple asked Valkyrie on why she came here?
Valkyrie told him that she saw him coming out of the "bank" and not the bank for the Equestrian Bits but one for stallions to donate there sperm.
Prince Purple nervously asked her out on a date but Valkyrie declined because she already has a stallion friend.
Prince Purple was kind enough to escort her to the entrance of Canterlot Castle.
Private Apple Hockey asked if she could be dismissed for a half a hour to a hour & Prince Purple agreed and she came back within a hour.
Prince Purple asked a boss on what she did and she told him that she got herself artificially inseminated and sometime after it Prince Purple's donated sperm entered her egg.
Prince Purple gulped because his third marefriend was burned alive who she was pregnant with there love foal. His ex-wife well there first born was a still born.
When night came Prince Purple Artist couldn't sleep worth a wink. He just gotten up and roamed Canterlot Castle.
Prince Purple accidentally bumped into the a blue unicorn with dark blown hair.
"Sorry Ma'am." said Prince Purple, "Didn't mean to run into you."
The mare told him don't worry about it. She then quickly apologized for not recognizing that it's Prince Purple Artist but he told her it's alright if she didn't know him a lot of ponies don't.
Like the voice in Purple's head hardly anypony knows on who he is and Prince Purple then walked to the other side of Canterlot Castle. He turned his head around and saw the unicorn mare's Cutie Mark of it being a rose with a sapphire.
There's two pink hearts in his eyes again. He missed the chance of asking her out but he already knows her answer of it being no and she wouldn't go with somepony with royalty in his blood or DNA.
Prince Purple then went to a balcony, sat down, and placed his face his underside of his face, and he sighed.
"I should." said Prince Purple, "Maybe I should tell Princess Twilight that I don't want to be a prince anymore. Then maybe I should ask the mare on a date."
Prince Purple then yawned.
"If I leave then everypony and there dog will call me weak." said Prince Purple, "If I do leave I live in the middle of nowhere. No mare wants to live almost in the middle of no where. I do live in the middle of nowhere. I'm I going to die alone? Without having a special somepony to love and spend my life with?"
"Why don't you jump." said the ghost of Scrumptious, "It'll be better you know yourself that nopony would marry you. Your own sister won't marry you not even that mare your head over heals for she won't even marry you not even date you even if you weren't a Prince."
"Your right I should." said Prince Purple, "All of those lives I swore to protect even you and the rest of my friends not adding all of those soldiers I promised that they would've came home. You're also right that no mare no matter how hard that I try but I won't find somepony to be with for the rest of my life."
"Purple." said Princess Twilight Sparkle, "What are you doing? Shouldn't you be in bed? Who are you talking too?"
Prince Purple Artist told Princess Twilight that he was having a argument with his deceased friend Scrumptious and Scrumptious told Purple it'll be better if he just jumps off the balcony.
"Nopony will miss me." said Prince Purple, "We're about one thousand feet high and down below nothing but trees and grasslands on a slope."
Princess Twilight walked over to him carefully, sat down next to him, and placed her right-wing around him.
"I'll miss you." said Princess Twilight, "What about your mom & dad?"
"My real parents are dead," said Prince Purple, "My real parents maybe your nephew and niece were a unicorn & pegasi and both of our aunt and uncle were my adoptive, Base's adoptive, and Blue's adoptive parents. Sad on what happened to them."
Princess Twilight Sparkle asked on what happened to them?
"Still thinking about that mare? Sapphire Rose? That's her name." asked Princess Twilight "There's no need to lie to me."
"Yeah." said Prince Purple, "I either been having nightmares or dreaming about her every night."
"There's no shame in that." said Princess Twilight, "Just walk up to her, ask her out on a date. Be confinement and tell her on how you feel about her."
"I know she'll reject me." said Prince Purple, "And if I do walk up to her, ask her out while be confinement she'll just tell me no and I'll look like a laughing stock in my eyes and if not in her eyes. She'll probably tell her friends about what I did and probably her family on what I did."
Princess Twilight told him to go ask her. Princess Twilight already asked her once because Prince Purple Artist was and still to jelly-spine to ask her out.
Prince Purple told Princess Twilight that when he would ask Azure Blue Sapphire he was very nervous. Sometimes his legs would vibrate and shake as if he was going through a earthquake or trying to catch his balance.
Prince Purple was just nervous to ask Valkyrie or with "Bubblegum" he didn't have the stomach to ask her so the two just socialized which lead the two to conceive a foal until the safehouse she was in got firebombed and she died in the raging inferno.
Princess Twilight told Prince Purple that it's alright to be nervous and have jelly legs. Especially when it's a pony he deeply likes but he should say on how he feels to her just to get it out in the open.
"I don't know." said Prince Purple, "Like I said what if she laughs at me? What if she laughs at me for having a 5 inch long tail? I know she'll just straight up refuse me."
"Purple." said Princess Twilight, "I know ponies especially mares can be mean but if you don't ask then you'll take the question to your grave. When I transformed you into a Prince I did another spell that'll make you to live to be a thousand years old. Do you think you want to live with that question in your mind for the remaining 978 years?"
"No." said Prince Purple, "I don't want to have the question with me. I'm not like Scrumptious who would walk up to a mare, sweet talk the mare, and boom in bed with a mare I'm not like him. I want a mare but I don't have the guts to ask one I don't have the bravery to ask a mare. I'm not like Scrumptious he had something about him that could have anymare he wanted besides a princess or a leading type of mare. My old commanding officer Flavor Wings she's a lesbian but I walked in on her and Scrumptious sleeping and I don't mean sleeping I mean woo-hoo."
Prince Purple then abruptly got up and left.
"Purple!" said Prince Twilight, "Come back!"
Princess Twilight Sparkle had another room dedicated to Prince Purple for him to have downtime even though he's a prince.
In the room it has a Drafting table, a easel (even though Prince Purple's middle name is Easel his full name is Purple Easel Artist or Sergeant-Prince Purple Eastle Artist with his rank and royal title).
There's also a leather workbench, metal workbench, metal workbench, wood workbench, pottery workbench, a map of the world, a easel, a bookshelf, a desk with a chair.
There's also some stuff for Prince Purple Artist to keep his logic, athletics, martial arts, guitar, painting, handiness, & writing skills on par or get better.
Prince Purple wasn't in there for long. Only for him to go to the bar in the castle for him to practice his Mixology but he also would go to the kitchen to keep his cooking skills high.
In his downtime room he was sketching.
Princess Twilight knocked on the door which Prince Purple allowed her to enter.
"You know what?" asked Prince Purple.
Princess Twilight asked what?
"Sapphire Rose." said Prince Purple, "It's a lovely name. Sapphire is a lovely gem in my opinion and a rose is a lovely flower. I would do anything to date a mare especially with such a lovely name. She must be lovely to have two lovely names."
Prince Purple then calmly exhaled and inhaled.
Princess Twilight told him that he should ask her out. They maybe relatives but sooner or later somepony might question on why Prince Purple and Princess Twilight Sparkle aren't married because a majority of Equestria don't know that Purple Artist and Twilight Sparkle are first cousins.
"She's going to reject me." said Prince Purple, "Not even her would date a pony like me. I just have a strong gut feeling she won't say yes not even if it was a surprise date she wouldn't be at the table or booth for long about one second then she'll leave."
Princess Twilight then asked on what he's sketching?
"I'm still helping Stalliongrad." said Prince Purple, "I'm sketching some monoplane and naval designs for them. Besides the Crystal Empire who's our ally?"
"I don't know." said Princess Twilight, "The reformed Changelings."
"The reformed changelings." said Prince Purple, "There peaceful and don't want a war. Especially on what happened during Shining Armor and Princess Cadance's wedding. Don't forget about then Starlight, Discord and the other one sorry forgot you were in a cocoon."
Prince Purple told Princess Twilight that there other ally is Stalliongrad. They may hate each other but they're the of enemies that can live with each other. Ever since Prince Purple helped Stalliongrad from not starve and start a revolt.
Prince Purple even told Princess Twilight that he and the General Secretary of Stalliongrad were married for a year and a month before ending there relationship.
Princess Twilight asked on why they ended there marriage?
"Because." said Prince Purple, "She couldn't stay away from Stalliongrad for long she was always homesick. I wouldn't mind staying over there but I have a job to do here in Equestria as a Prince, & Commander of the Equestrian Armed Forces."
"I see." said Princess Twilight, "Rough marriage I see now why you two peacefully separated. It would be impossible for you to help and give you two bits worth of decisions and the military needs a commander since the past one walked out when you took over when you were right."
Princess Purple then placed her wing onto Prince Purple.
"Do you think I'll ever find love?" asked Prince Purple, "I've been running it over in my head over and over not adding my deceased friends been picking on me saying that I'll never be in a relationship. Not adding that I have a crush on this "Sapphire Rose" mare."
Prince Purple Artist then went back to his room to go back to bed. In the morning he gotten a new Royal Guard a horned crystal pony male that's average height, chunky figure, coily mane that's very long, medium-length tail with trimmed fetlocks. He's lilac, with fuchsia pink, eyes, Curious Blue magic aurora, and his mane & tail are Chelsea Gem.
Prince Purple asked on how he isn't a full Crystal pony due to he isn't shiny so the unicorn crystal pony told him that his father is a crystal pony and mother was a unicorn.
Prince Purple then went to go to eat breakfast.
"So how did you." started Prince Purple, "How did you and Sapphire Rose meet?"
"Excuse me?" asked Princess Twilight, "We became friends."
Prince Purple asked how they became friends.
"I was introduced to her by Princess Celestia." said Princess Twilight, "I was at the Grand
Galloping Gala when Princess Celestia introduced me to Sapphire Rose. She is a nice mare."
"I still say she's a lovely mare." said Prince Purple, "I don't want to sound weird but I think she'll be a fine Princess to Equestria. Two Princesses and one Prince. I think she'll be a fine Princess. What kind of Princess she'll be? There was a Princess of the sun, Princess of the moon, there's a Princess of Love, there's you. What kind of Princess she'll be?"
"Purple." said Princess Twilight, "I wanna say that Sapphire Rose is a kind mare when we talked. Like I said why don't you just ask her out on a date. Never know she might say yes to you but she probably said no to me because I had to ask her out on a date on your behalf because your scared to do so."
"I should." said Prince Purple, "I really do want to ask her out on a date but I know well my gut feeling is saying that Sapphire Rose will say no. If she did say yes I know our relationship won't last long. My gut saying no and if we did date she won't want to date a Prince. A prince that can give her anything she wants and will care deeply for her and will do anything to protect her, love her, cherish her, hug her, kiss her, and be there for her."
Prince Purple and Princess Twilight then ate there breakfast in silence.
Princess Twilight then knocked on Prince Purple's downtime room door and she asked if she could come in.
Prince Purple told her to come in so Princess Twilight did.
"Nice Artwork." said Princess Twilight, "Still imaging yourself dating Sapphire Rose, Proposing to her then marrying her? That's what your clearly drawing."
"Aw shoot!" exclaimed Prince Purple, "Just following on what my heart wants and I really want to date her but I'm to afraid to ask her."
Prince Purple then crumpled up the few pieces of well sketched and drawn art and he went back to drawing designs for Stalliongrad for there farms and armed forces.
"I really do have a crush on her." said Prince Purple, "I just don't know on what to say or ask her. I just have a gut feeling she won't go for a stallion like me."
Princess Twilight uncrumpled the three different pieces of papers that Prince Purple crumpled up showing on how much he does care for her. Even though Prince Purple missed his chance of asking her out when he bumped into her last night.
After a few hours Prince Purple nervously asked Private Apple Bender on a date but she refused because she would rather have a boss-guard relationship. It'll be weird if they were married. Pvt Apple Bender just chosen to have Prince Purple's donated sperm to be artificially inseminated. But she isn't looking for a relationship.
Princess Twilight told Prince Purple on what he did she's proud of him of what he did he's more or less helping couples who can't have foals which is the second time she thanked him for that.
