*** WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS CLOP ***
We arrived at a local donut shop, where I got a chocolate dipped one, and a coffee. " These are great. Coffee is too."
"Agreed. So, what are you going to do? I mean, being the Prince and all." "I'm not just a long lost Prince. I'm family. I take care of those I love. I may have had a terrible life before, but now," I said, looking around the shop, ponies looking at me all around.
" I have so much..." " And you deserve more." Said the waiter, pouring more coffee into my cup. " Ya may be from a whole 'nother universe, but you're still the Prince." "Well, see, that's the thing. I've never had power before. Except in the Military. I just... felt so alone. Nobody knew my name. Nobody cared for my name. To them, I was just another bum on the streets."
"That's different now Jack. It's like you said: Past-" I cut Tia off. " Is past. Have to life in the present." Then Luna spoke up. She hasn't much talked today. " When did you get that scar on your eye?" I touched my eye. " Years back. Got an infection there,
can't see too good out of it. That's why it's gray. Hurts when I touch it. Not too bad though." We finished our food, I left the manager a compliment. " Great donuts lad!" "Thank you!" His eyes shot up. His food just got complimented by royalty.
* Royal castle. *
20 Minutes later.
We arrived at the castle. I just told them I was going around Ponyville. I flew to Dash's house first, and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" She asked. " Royal Gaurds." " One second!" She yelled out, door flying open. " Just kidding." I Laughed out.
"Oh. Hey Jack. What's up?" "Nothing much. Just visiting a friend. Got a problem with that? I asked. " No. Need a drink or anything?"
"Nah. Just had a family lunch. Partly. " "Partly? How? Luna and Celestia were there. That's your family." " Well, your family to me. You took me under your wing in my darkest days. Not many People, nor Ponies are willing to do that. I'll Tell you something nopony knows." Her eyes lit up like... Lights I guess. " I was depressed before I came here. Almost to the point of suicide." "Why would you kill yourself?!"
"I Had nobody to catch me when I fell. Nobody to help when I had gotten sick. I've got friends, family, a home. A life. Never had that before. I was just a killer. I ruined other familys. I was nobody. I Just wanted to say," I knelt down and hugged her. "Thank you."
I Left her there, expecting her to fly off and tell all the ponies she knew. I arrived at The Carousel Boutique for some new clothes. I knocked on the door. " Who is it?" " It's Jack. The Prince." " Come in!" I Stepped in. " So, darling, what is it the you need?"
" A Formal outfit, and and two everyday outfit. Formal looking close to this, and everyday looking like this, and this. Can you do it?" "Well of course. Let me just get measurements." "Sure" I Said, holding out my arms.
* Applejack's Farm *
10 Minutes later.
"Howdy Jack." " Hey Applejack." "Call me AJ, Prince" At that time, I saw a small filly run out towards me. " Okay, Anyways, Looking for some help?" She thought a moment " Well, Ya can help by fixin' up the barn while ah buck some apple trees. " "Sounds like a plan."
I Fixed up the barn, which was in bad condition, and helped AJ with the carrying process. "Yer pretty strong ya know that?"
" I Am the element of power. Not power as in controlling everything, but as in strength. So I'd say, yeah. I guess I am."
After that, I went back to the castle.
* Royal Castle *
9:30 P.M.
Celestia had gone to bed, but Luna and I were still up, Looking at the stars she had arranged. " They look wonderful." I said.
"Thanks. I made a spot to look like you." she said, pointing at a spot of stars that did look like me. " I Just realized something. " " What's that?" " I haven't had a flashback in a while now." I said, scratching at an itch in my wings. "Well, I'm gonna go to sleep. See you in the morning Luna." " Goodnight brother."
* Dining room. *
6 A.M.
I Hadn't slept all night. Something was on my mind. " Something bothering you? " " Yeah. I don't know what though. It... Almost feels like someponys been kidnapped." And in that moment, Shining Armor burst through the door. " Jack, Princess's! We need help!" " What's wrong!?" " It's Twilight! She's gone!" I looked at my sisters. " I got this!"
I first went to the carousel boutique for my outfit. I didn't bother knocking, I just burst through. " Rarity!" " Yes? What is it?"
" You got my clothes done?" " Well yes, Why?" " It's Twilight. She's gone. I need those clothes!"
"Here!" She yelled, tossing me the armored suit. " Good. I'll be back with Twilight." " And if you don't find her?"
I Knelt down. " Then I'm not coming back. Guards! Let's go!"
* 8 A.M. *
Our Squad flew all around. Then I spotted her. " There! On the mountain!" As we flew up, I noticed that there were no other ponies around. I landed first, as I was faster. " Twilight! Thank Celestia you're okay!" Shining ran up to hug her, but was pushed back by a force field. " What? Twilight, lower the field." She didn't.
"Twilight! This is Jack! Lower the field!" No reply. " LOWER! THE! FIELD!" She seemed... Asleep. "She looks to be asleep Shining." " But why is she up here?" I Thought for a moment. " I Don't know. She might think this is a dream, when it's not."
I whispered to Shining. " You. " She had turned around, and was pointing at me. " You took everything. You think you can just waltz in here and take the throne?" "What? I never took anything." I Stated calmly while the Guards and Shining slowly backed away.
" You stole her from me. Now you will pay." "Stole who? I didn't steal anypo-OOF!" I Yelled out, hit by magic, it looked as if Twilight had passed out.
* Hospital *
2 Days later.
I slowly opened my eyes to see Luna and Celestia siting next to my hospital bed. " Doctor! He's waking up!" A Doctor came in with a nurse. " Prince, sqeeze my hand if you can hear me." I sqeezed his hand. " Good. You were hit by a magic bolt. You may never fully heal." He tells me, removing tubes from me.
" Jack! I'm so so Sorry! I had been in a dream and apparently it was real and I hit you with a really strong bolt of magic.
Oh he'll never forgive me!" "Twilight... I... Forgive you..." I told her. "Really? Why? I shot you!" " I... Know..." "Let him rest ms. Sparkle."
1 Month later
"And please, Take it easy." " I will." I smiled. I had been recovering for a month, and it was time to go home. "Let's go."
"Can you fly?" Luna asked. " Yeah. I'll live." The flight home was silent. We arrived back at the castle, Twilight was waiting for me there. She had visited me everyday, along with friends. " Welcome back. " Celestia welcomed me back.
" Good to be back. " "So, Jack, Do you...Hate me?" Twilight asked, sorta sadly "Why would I?" " Well, for one, you almost died. Two, you might be in pain your whole life. Does any of this make you hate me?" " Nope. I have a new life. Not going to spend it hating you." "Speaking of hating, Pinkie Pie has a party waiting for you."
* Sugarcube Corner. *
5 Minutes later.
We had arrived at Sugarcube Corner, wearing my Tuxedo. " Do humans always wear clothes?" " Yep. We kind of have a thing against nudity." " One more thing different here." My two sisters had gone in first, I followed close behind.
I went up to the podium. " Is this working? Anyway, Hello! I'm back from the hospital everypony! The doctor said I might be in pain for the rest of my life. I don't feel pain now but, I wouldn't doubt it as it was a really high power bolt."
I sat at the bar next to Big Macintosh. " Hello." " Hey." " Name's Big Mac. Applejack's brother. Heard you're the new Prince." "You do have your facts straight." The next few minutes were silent until Big Mac asked me a question when I had a mouthful of cider. " So, Had sex yet?" I Spit out my cider." Too soon?" I Began laughing hysterically.
"What?" " Nothing... Oh man... That... that was awesomely hilarious!" I Was still laughing hysterically " That was a serious question." " Well in that case, no. No I haven't." " Why not? You're handsome, you seem to have a good personality, you're royalty, you're everything a mare could want." I Had reduced my laughing to a chuckle.
" I don't know. Haven't found the right mare I suppose. Plus, I'm from a different universe." " The universe thing doesn't matter. Mah cousin's dating a buffalo." My eyebrow raised at that. "So say something were to happen with me and say, Not saying that this will happen, just saying here, If something were to happen between me and Applejack, would you trust me?"
"Well yes. You are a Prince. I trust you with my life." " And I trust you with mine. I smell a good friendship coming on." " I smell one too." " So, Serious question here, Are you in love Applejack?" I Thought for a second " No. Not in love with her. I love her as a friend yes, but I think I know a special somepony." And with that, I left.
* The sky. *
5 Minutes later.
I was headed to Dash's house. ' Gonna do it. You can do it Jack. Tell her how you feel ' I thought to myself. ' What if the feeling's not shared? No, no matter what, you will tell her how you feel. That's an order.'I landed at her house. Mansion? House? I don't know. I don't care.
2 minutes later, I knocked on her door and she opened it right up like she expected me. " Hey. What's up?" " Your house. Anyway, I have something to ask you." She had a confused face on by now. " What?" "Tell the full truth?" " Of course." " Rainbow Dash, Do you love me?" She got surprised at this. " Well... Do you love me?"
"How could I not? You're everything a stallion could want." "You're everything a mare could want. And my anwser is yes. I do love you." At that, I kissed her deeply, after the kiss broke, she told me " You're a great kisser. How is that?"
" I really don't know. I've never loved before. Only killed and hated." " That's different now." " I know. Brand new life." Then she told me something shocking. " I Need you inside me." I Had to process that for a moment. " You mean like-" " Yes. Sex."
Next thing I knew I was in her bedroom. " You know this will be a first for me right?" " First for me too." She started taking my clothes off, one piece by one piece. Didn't help that I had armor on too. I tackled her onto the bed and started kissing her neck lower and lower until I was at her wings.
" Ready?" "Yeah..." She said, readying for the next step. I put my throbbing member into her nether region, her eyes closed, apparently enjoying this. I began thrusting into her harder, as she started moaning with pleasure. After a few minutes of this, she told me something else. " I-i'm-" " Me too. " With one final thrust, we both came.
I Pulled out of her. "That was great." "Yep." We started to fall asleep in her bed. " I love you Jack." " I love you too Dash."
