Lucky's Seven: The Changeling Hunters

Epilogue Echo: Simon's Sun

Celestia heard the door open, but she did not even raise her head to see who entered the room. She just sat there sobbing to herself. The accusations thrown at her, whilst harsh, were not completely unfounded. She was only thinking of what was best for the child, one that wasn't even born yet. How could she have said those things? She knew he'd never keep the child from its mother, unless stated by Luna herself. A male voice drew her out of her self-loathing. “You know, it's been a long time since I saw him head to a bar when he was angry.”

“Should we go after him?”

“Not a good idea. He'll need at least an hour....or until the police call us.” Finally lifting her head, she looked to who was in the study with her.

“Thank you Simon. But I still think we should go after him, in case he does something stupid.” She looked at the position of the sun, knowing it was around two in the afternoon, and they had let Luna and the Captain sleep in. They both needed it after last night's......activities, which were going on as they arrived.

“In case he does something stupid? We don't need to be drunk to do that. All the alcohol will do is guarantee he'll do something he regrets in the morning. I'm usually there with him.”

Celestia stood and walked over to the window, motioning for Simon to do the same. “Why are you usually with him?”

He just started to laugh before regaining himself to explain. “One of Alec's jokes he told me. 'A friend will bail you out of jail. A best friend will be sat next to you in the police car, saying “Damn, we fucked up!”' God knows it's happened to us plenty of times.”

Celestia allowed herself a small smile, before it disappeared upon remembering their most recent conversation. “This is not the first time I have made him angry. And both times it has been my fault. I just wish I knew more about him, that way I could avoid this.”

“Believe it or not, he hasn't really been around women that much. It was only here and there, but when he was, he could charm the pants of them in about thirty seconds. But recently he's focused too much on his games. So don't worry yourself, he'll be fine.” Celestia started to sniff again, and Simon put his hands on her shoulders. “Hey now, none of that. Come on, you just need a hug.” She willingly melted in to his embrace.


A few hours later there was a knock on the study door, but as there was no answer the enquirer opened it and walked in. What she saw shocked her. Over the desk was Celestia's clothing, mixed with that of a males. Looking around, she saw one of the reclining seats out, and walked over to it, seeing Celestia lying on top of the admiral. Naked, but covered with a blanket.

“Um, your highness?” The pairs eyes fluttered open and they just looked at the woman stood there.

“Yes, Bolt, what can we do for you?”

“I think you should know that Captains Fire Rain and Shining Armour have not returned yet. They left about seven hours ago.”

“Why did Captain Armour leave?”

“He followed Captain Rain, to keep an eye on him.”

“Very well, I'll be out in a moment. Oh, and tonight I suggest you and Mac get 'comfy', it truly is wonderful this way.” The female guards face started to turn red, and she almost ran out of the room. “Is there a shower down here? I need to wash up before we go out there.” Simon just smiled and winked at her, to which she smiled back. Not much washing got done.


Thirty minutes later they emerged in to the front room, where everyone else was already waiting. Luna and Cadence were stood looking out the bay window, but the former had a look of worry on her face. Walking over, Celestia wrapped her arms around her sister. “I'm sorry Luna, it's my fault again. Do not worry, with Captain Armour I'm sure they'll return soon.” They sat around watching some TV for a while, and Rainbow Dash loved the weather channel, giving descriptions of how she could make things better. Eventually, they heard noise coming from outside, and Mac opened the bay window. They were not expecting this.

Curious, they all made their way towards the front yard, but the singing got quieter, so they made their way to the back, where the voices could be heard at the end of the garden....but the house was above a cliff for security reasons. Surely no one, whether sober, or as evidenced, drunk would attempt to climb it?

Alright, let's go, let's go
Haha!

They all stood there looking around when the grass near the edge rustled and a hand reached up and tried to get a grip on something. Simon ran over and grabbed it to help pull whoever it was up. The crowd were a little shocked to see a blue haired man set down on the grass, but it wore off as another voice came over the edge. “Hey!! No fairs!! You can't have 'Hic' help!! Get your flanks back down and shtart again!” Another hand crested the edge and Simon again pulled the person over, revealing yet another drunk captain. “Thanks knobhead. Where are we?”

Two shadows fell over the men lying on the ground. They looked up to see a very unamused Luna and Cadence stood over them. The man that was clearly Shining Armour somehow managed to get to his feet, pulling Cadence close and kissing her roughly. “Hey sweet cheeks, did I tell you how hot you look like this? Let's go inside, apparently it's pretty good like this!” Armour started to grab her ass, which earned him a slap to the face, and a very pissed off wife. Celestia and Simon glanced at each other and then the ground. Luna noticed, but had more pressing matters to deal with.

“Well, Captain?”

The other human just stared up at her. “Whats?”

“Don't you have something to say?”

“Yessh. Shimon had sex with you sishter” The look on their faces was priceless, and they were wondering how he knew this. “Wait...you didn't? It was a joke, but.......Shimon, got one quession.”

“What?”

“....I forgots. Hey sunbutt!! You're a bitch, go fuck yourselfs!” He promptly fell back to the ground and started to snore loudly. The sound of sirens and a car door closing in front of the house followed, then a second set of lungs tried to out do the first as Cadence held her her husband up.

“Could somepony help me? I can barely hold him, he's so heavy!” He wobbled slightly before toppling forwards, pushing Cadence to the ground and pinning her there. All the others gathered promptly burst out laughing.
