Chapter3b: Bebop.

I stared at Trixie's unconscious, sweat covered, shameless little body. It seemed this had been her first time. I was happy to have it be me, but thought on what exactly it meant that I still planned on leaving.

I had just taken an innocent fan, now turned groupie, and layed her on the grass and... Indulged her until she couldn't take it any more. She was enamored with me, more than once she mumbled in her cute little love intoxicated state that she loved me but my plans hadn't changed.

I don't even think I cared.

Was that bad? I thought so... But... But it was fun, seeing her melt in my hooves, getting my way...

Getting my way was maybe the one thing I'd miss from my life. I did like being right, I did like getting what I wanted. A side-effect of being an Umbrae I suppose. My dark indulgence was sociopathic manipulation...

Not bad considering. But I was not under the delusion I was a saint. Some mares had hobbies, mine was getting ponies to do what I want. Which, now that I think about it... Was no different than my father, perhaps I didn't have his sadistic tendencies but... But why was I planning to start a revolution?

Because I wanted to bring happiness back to Sequestria...

Equestria...

That's what I kept telling myself, but... But was it really that benign? I can't see anyone else on the new throne besides myself. No one else is fit. If I succeeded I would have disposed my father. Usurpation...

I hardly thought of all this till now, and I shouldn't start thinking about it so much now on the night of my escape. The best thing to do is put these thoughts aside, and carry on.

I used Trixie's dress to cover her up, making a makeshift blanket to cover her up and tuck her under. She stirred but once, murring my name lucidly.

"Goodnight, goodbye."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had dressed myself, and returned to the party. My father was nowhere to be seen and that was about as assuring as it was unnerving. I scanned the room, making sure he wasn't watching from some painting or balcony. My plan was to slink back into my room, gather my things, get Throne, and escape during the party. But if my father saw me leaving for my room, there would be hell to pay.

"Introducing the Dukes; Flim and Flam!"

Oh gods no!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could feel their eyes on me and my body shook. The Flimflams were my fathers leading arcane science company and threw technology ahead almost thirty years in only about ten. They were a wealthy, affluent family and their twin sons had a huge crush on me, but worse yet-

They were very persistent stalkers.

"Hey there princess!"
"How are you doing?"
"Fine we hope!"
"We most certainly hope."
"You look-"
"Sexy!"
"Fantastic!"
"Alluring."
"Sensational!"
"Sensual."
"Cometasti-"

"Boys! Thank you... I'm in the middle of something. We can talk-"

"Well let us help!"
"Yes, we're all too eager to please!"
"That is to say a problem is solved faster with three sets of hooves-"
"Three brains-"
"Three horns-"
"Threesome."
"Flim!"
"Sorry brother of mine it was a slip of the tongue."
"I bet! I say brother was that innuendo too?"
"Only if your minds going were mine already is chum."
"Well if you keep talking like that I think I just might need to take an express train to catch up!"
"Well then you best by your ticket, I'd recommend a two way ride."

By the old ones were these two obnoxious...

"Wooooah there Flim, you're insinuating an awful lot here. Maybe the princess doesn't have a thing for stallions."

But they gave me the best Ideas.

"Yes I'm a-"

"She's with me."

The voice came from behind me, it was that navy pony from before, with the cotton candy mane. He trotted over and layed a hoof over my back and pulled me to his side.

"Sorry babe, didn't mean to take so long."

He kissed my horn tip-

He kissed my horn tip!

Now, I don't consider myself a racist, but the day an Earth pony kisses my horn is the day...

Well it's the day I disown my father...

"ohh it's alright sweet heart, sorry boys, I meant to tell you I'm seeing someone."

"Name's Bepop."

"You... Don't have a title do you?"
"I never heard of any family with a pony named Bepop."
"I've never heard of an Earth pony aristocratic family."
"Does your father know you're dating a commoner?"
"A common earth pony commoner?"
"Not to sound racist, it's just-"
"Her father's a purist."
"You seem alright."
"You got through the gate."
"They let you in."
"They let you pass."
"But our point is-"

They both inhaled deeply, their run on about to conclude in the way they enjoyed so much.

At the same time.

"She's just out of your league."

He was. But he was getting me out of this so I couldn't complain... Too much.

"Well... I uhmm... Yeah..."

"No offense."
"Not to offend you."

"Well uhm, thanks... Now uhmm, if you'll excuse us, I have to go sleep with the girl you have wet dreams about-"

Oh snap!

"Because I'm not good enough. Catch ya guys later."

With that he took me and led me toward the common, slapping my ass as we left.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bepop was clutching his eye, I had punched him as hard as I could. I hit him so hard his puffy mane deflated.

"What the hell was that-"

"Kissing my horn, slapping my ass, and now everypony in that room thinks I'm sleeping with a commoner!"

"Wow, I had no idea you were an elitist bitch, last time I save you from anything."

"I'm not an elitist! And I only dabble in the mystic arts of bitch... Thank you, but if you ever so much as look at my plot again I will personal see to it that you spend the rest of your life, relearning the definition of pain... Are we clear?"

He took a moment to make sure his eye wasn't out of his skull, or bleeding before coming to his hooves to look me in the eye worriedly

"Crystal. Name's Be-"

"So you said."

"And you are?'

"Are you in the habit of sexually harassing mares you don't know?"

"Just wanted to know if you could introduce yourself."

"I don't need to. I have people for that."

I was being... Well I was being a brat, but I think he got the joke.

"So... Haveyouhadweirddreamsaboutstartingarevolutionandoverthrowingyouroldmantobringpeaceandhappinessbacktoequestria?"

"..."

"Sorry I just-"

"How did you know..."
