Chapter 5
Celestia was bored, like REALLY bored. After her little ‘adventure’ into Jack’s mind with Luna the two sisters had to return to court and finish their royal duties for the day. It didn’t help that after going through the incredibly long line of ponies that had come to see the princesses about whatever problems they had that the last pony to see them was none other than Prince Blueblood. With a heavy sigh Celestia let her eyes wonder, annoyed that her sister had fallen asleep during Blueblood’s speech as her nephew droned on about wanting to have a bigger allowance. If she could Celestia would simply send the brat off to the royal guard’s boot camp, but he would find some way to weasel out of it…like the last 10 times.
Blueblood was nearly finished explaining why he deserved an increased allowance when Jack suddenly burst through the doors to the throne room. ‘Finally some entertainment!’
Blueblood was about to complain about being rudely interrupted by the filthy beast before him when Jack walked right past completely ignoring him.
“You,” Jack pointed at Celestia, “you planned this didn’t you?!”
Celestia was about to ask what he meant when suddenly Twilight came skidding to a halt at the entrance to the throne room.
“Jaaaacccckkkk! Come back here this instant!” Twilight yelled while levitating a rather freakishly large needle next to her.
“For the last time no! There is no way in hell am I letting you stick me with that huge thing!”
Celestia suppressed a small laugh at how wrong Jack’s statement just sounded. Twilight on the other hoof was not as amused, she pawed at the floor with her hoof as she prepared to charge at Jack intent on getting a sample of his blood.
“What is the meaning of this?!” Blueblood exclaimed both shocked and annoyed that a pair of commoners would dare interrupt his talk with Celestia…not that anyone else cared.
“This? This is me running from a big ass needle so if you would be so kind as to stand here…” replied Jack as he forcibly shoved Blueblood in Twilight’s path as she ran full sprint at him.
“Wha- Ah! Filthy commoner don’t you dare tou-“ Blueblood was cut off as he let out a very girlish scream as Twilight trying too late to slow down slammed into the prince and the rather large needle impaled itself in his rear.
Luna woke with a start at the sound of Blueblood’s pathetic scream. Her look of annoyance however quickly turned to one of amusement at the sight of Blueblood laying on the floor with a needle comically sticking out of his rear end. Even the guards where having a hard time suppressing the smirks they were all now sporting.
Jack allowed himself a brief laugh at the sight of the two ponies sprawled on the floor but the laugh never came as he noticed Twilight hop back up looking rather angry and having somehow pulled another needle seemingly from now where. She pawed at the floor again as she got ready to charge at him for the second time.
“You’re not giving up easy are you?” asked Jack warily as he took a step in the direction of the exit.
“I told you all I need is a small sample. For science!” with that Twilight charged and Jack ran like a bat out of hell for the exit.
Celestia let out a soft giggle at the antics of Jack and Twilight as well as the sight of Blueblood who was still laying on the ground.
“Ahem, yes well I believe that will be it for court today, everyone is free to leave now.” With that the two sisters and the guards began to the leave the throne room leaving a rather disgruntled Blueblood in the middle of the room trying to take the needle out of his ass.
Walking out of the throne room Luna was about to depart for her personal chambers before she was halted by Celestia.
“Luna before you head to your room, would you please come with me there’s something I need both you and Jack to do.”
Luna simply nodded still trying to fully wake up from her impromptu nap in the throne room. As the sisters walked down the halls of the castle it was evident that Twilight and Jack had been here and there, tables would be knocked down in a clear sign that someone was trying to slow down somepony to little avail. There was even a few knocked over sets of antique armor and the occasional scorch mark on the walls. If they didn’t know better the sisters would think someone had fought an epic battle through the castle instead of being chased by a determined pony with a needle.
Rounding a corner the faint sound of someone arguing could be heard in one of the rooms. The door was slightly ajar so as the sisters neared they were able to hear what was being said clearly.
“Come on! Give it to me!”
“For the last time no! I ain’t letting you poke me with that thing!”
“Come on I need it! Please?!”
“No!”
“Come on! Give it to me!
“No!”
“Give it to me Jack!”
At this point Celestia was laughing her flank off while Luna had a deep blush gracing her face.
“Come on…Just. A. Little. Sample!”
“I. Said. No!”
With that Jack managed to throw Twilight off of himself along with the needle that was so very close to penetrating his skin. Twilight Landed on the bed across the room and instantly hopped up getting ready to tackle Jack again. She really wanted a blood sample.
At this point the two sisters deemed it best to intervene before either of the two got hurt, that and their conversation was rather misleading much to Celestia’s enjoyment and Luna’s discomfort.
“And what pray tell is going on here exactly? Hmm?” Celestia asked as she trotted into the room Luna by her side.
“Princess! Could you help hold him down he refuses to let me take a sample of his blood!”
“I told you that I won’t let you touch me with a needle that big!”
“Jack would it be acceptable if we fetched a smaller needle from the royal doctor?”
Jack paused thinking about it, on one hand he could simply run and continue the chase but that meant he could still get poked by that big ass needle. On the other hand he could just nod and get a much smaller needle which would hopefully not hurt as much. Jack really hates needle in case anyone wasn’t aware.
After considering it Jack finally gave in and nodded, much to Twilight’s pleasure. So with that settled the four proceeded to walk to the medical wing of the castle, Jack and Twilight getting dirty looks from the castle staff that had to pick up the mess they created during their little chase.
On the way to the medical wing the group ran into the doctor who was currently returning from his lunch break.
“Princess’ what a wonderful surprise! I didn’t think I’d be bumping into either of you today, if you’ll follow me to my office we can talk there.”
The group nodded and proceeded to follow the doctor to his office. On the way there Jack couldn’t help but ask, “So I’ve been looking around and it seems you don’t have many sick or injured here, why is that?”
The doctor looked at Jack seeming to notice him for the first time but quickly shook off his surprise and answered, “Well you see the unicorns here have perfected much in the medical field, there’s few illnesses we can’t cure,” he was brimming with pride, “that’s why you hardly see any patients here, which to be honest makes the job rather dull most of the time.”
“But enough about my job, tell me what exactly are you?”
Jack extended a hand in greeting while saying, “Oh! Nearly forgot, names Jack. I’m a human.”
The doctor stared at the hand for a moment before simply hoof bumping it, “Pleasure to meet you Jack, you may call me Doctor but I prefer Doc.”
“Okay then, Doc it is.”
Doc smiled at Jack as they finally reached his office.
“Now tell me what exactly do you all need with me today?”
This time Twilight spoke up, “Well to put it simply Jack here,” she gave him a playful nudge which he returned in kind, “Agreed to give me a blood sample but is afraid of needles.”
Doc looked at Jack with an amused smile to which Jack shrugged.
“So we thought that maybe you had a smaller needle we could use so I don’t have to chase him down again.”
Doc brought a hoof up to his chin as he thought, “Hmm yes, I do believe I have one around here somewhere. Jack would you be so kind as to take a seat in the room next door? We’ll get this over and done with lickity split!”
Jack got up and proceeded to go to the next room and wait while the Doc went about finding a small needle for him. Twilight joined Jack shortly after along with both of the princesses. Unfortunately for Jack they weren’t there to simply watch. 10 minutes and one embarrassingly girlish scream later Twilight trotted out happily levitating a vial of blood that she had been wanting to get for the past couple of hours. Jack sat there rubbing his arm and giving Celestia, Luna and Doc a nasty look.
“Never trusting a doctor again” mumbled Jack as Doc brought a band-aid over and placed it on Jacks arm where the needle went. It had cute little puppies on it.
“Aww what’s the matter? Little Jack want a loli-pop?” Doc teased.
Jack simply gave him the finger much to Doc’s confusion not that Jack cared. Getting up Jack said goodbye and he Left with Celestia and Luna in tow.
Celestia took this opportunity to speak up, “Jack before you head back to your room I have something to ask or rather tell you and Luna as well.”
This caught Luna off guard, what could she possibly have to speak to both her and Jack for? Jack shrugged before stopping and turning around giving Celestia his full attention.
“As we all know, no one has seen a creature like you before Jack so to help you get used to being here I’ve decided that you will go out and meet my little ponies and get to know some of them. Luna, you’ll be going with him as well.”
Luna was surprised and thought to herself, ‘why do I have to go?! Is this some form of punishment?’
Celestia smiled at her younger sister, “No Luna this is not a punishment, you’ve been cooped up in this castle ever since you got back and barely go out. If you want our subjects to be rid of their fear of you you should try to get to know them as well. So starting tomorrow you both will accompany Twilight back to Ponyville and get to know the ponies there.”
Jack wasn’t sure what to think considering the fact that when he first got here he was arrested and put in a cell, how would other ponies think of him? Luna on the other hand was nervous, she felt like she was still getting used to how things were done around here since her banishment and still felt like she had a lot to catch up on. Not to mention the fact that she wasn’t sure how to go about making friends, up till know her only friends had been her sister, her niece Cadence and Twilight.
See how both of them seemed a little apprehensive toward the idea of interacting with others Celestia tried to get them to open up to the idea, “Come now it won’t be all that bad, Twilight will be there with you and she can introduce you two to her friends. Besides who knows? You might have fun during your time in Ponyville, I’m sure Pinke will absolutely love to throw the both of you a welcome party if Twilight’s letters are anything to go by.”
“Mmm I guess sure why not. So long as they don’t freak out at the sight of me I guess I’m fine with it.”
Celestia smiled at Jack then looked back to her sister waiting for her answer. Luna bit her lip still reluctant to go, but if Twilight and Jack where there then maybe it won’t be so bad. With a sigh Luna nodded her head yes and Celestia’s smiled became slightly bigger.
“So it’s settled then, the two of you shall go with Twilight when she leaves tomorrow and will go make some new friends.”
Switching over to Lyra let’s see how she’s doing…
Lyra it would seem didn’t learn her lesson from last time (or did she? Seeing as she hadn’t been caught this time) was sneaking through the Castle again looking for Jack. She didn’t have to look for long because she came across them shortly after his little talk with Celestia and Luna about going to Ponyville. Lyra couldn’t believe her Luck not only would Jack be coming to her home town but had been practically ordered to make friends while there! This was perfect for her, she could introduce herself to him become friends then study him to her hearts content! Not only that but everypony will finally see this real live human and know she was right! Take that Bon-bon!
Lyra rubbed her hooves together as she thought about how excellent this would fit into her plans while wearing a slightly disturbing grin. She was so excited to finally prove how right she had been that she couldn’t wait to get back home. Of course she’d have to get there before they did so she could be prepared to finally meet this human she had brought to Equestria.
Tomorrow will be an interesting day that was for sure.
