//------------------------------// // The Meeting // Story: The Royal Package // by Honsolo26 //------------------------------// I strain my neck to make sure the package I was carrying was safely tied up and ready for the long three day trip to some island of the coast of Equestria. I was a senior delivery stallion for the Equestrian Postal Service with a special delivery from the princess herself to the historical island of Soma, but this one was different. The princess issued me a Royal Canterlot chariot and a companion. It was a Pegasus, like me, from a small town named Ponyville. She claims to be the fastest flyer in all of Equestria. I think her name was... Rainbow Dash? I'll have to find out later. (In Ponyville) "Dash are ya sure ya can make it to Soma Island?" asked the yellow earth pony. "Ready? I was born ready!" exclaimed the eager Rainbow Dash. “But why did the princess decide to choose you to assist the senior delivery stallion?” Twilight said, walking up to the two ponies. “Probably because I’m the best flyer in all of Equestria” she said as she lifted off in the air to show off advanced tricks only a well trained Pegasus can pull off. “But this ain’t no sprint, ya need to slow down and try to save as much strength as ya can, cause it’s a three day trip from the coast.” Rainbow Dash scoffs “Three days? I could fly for a whole week!” Twilight speaks up “There is no way anypony can fly for a whole week straight! It’s just physically impossible. Dash flies around twilight causing her to fall down. “Nothing is impossible for the best Twi.” (At post office outside of Manehatten) I buckle the chariot straps to my back and stretch out my wings. It’s a long trip from Manehatten to Ponyville, but even a longer one to the Island of Soma. I hope who ever is pared up with me is a good conversationalist. The packers load the two boxes onto the cart and I strain to hold the wait with out a partner until I get to Ponyville. Once the teamsters give me an ok sign I extend my wings and start running. The farther I go the faster my wings get. When I finally get fast enough I start getting higher and higher. I know I have flown for the majority of my life, but one does not simply forget the first time they fly for the first time, and to this day it’s still breath taking as I fly through the air, feeling the wind in my blue mane, the clouds moistening my yellow fur. Every time I fly, it’s amazing every, single time. I fly higher to avoid the common air traffic so that there would be no interruptions. Most delivery ponies use the standard 50 yards airspace for the normal mail routes but seeing as this is a royal package, I help myself to the rarely used 75 yard airspace. I look below me, gazing at the wide open countryside below me, seeing the occasional farm or frontier town. You never think about how big Equestria is until you fly the width of it. I pull out my watch I got for my 18th birthday from all the employs of the post office (I have worked there since I was 7 years old) at it read 6 o’clock. I left around, I’d say around 1 o’clock, so I should be arriving in ponyville any moment. I slowly begin my decent to land. Every foot I lower I get more curious to whom I will be traveling with for this delivery. After 10 minutes of gliding downwards I touch the ground and slow to a trot as I reach the outer limits of ponyville. As I reach the main road, I am greeted by a pink and hyper pony. “Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! I’m the official town greeter! How are you, is there anything I can get you? *Gasps* you’re the Delivery pony that Dashie was talking about!” I slightly blush from the sudden recognition. “Wow, I didn’t know I was known around here. Can you take me to Rainbow Dash? I have a few things I need to discuss with her.” “Okie dokie! Follow me and I’ll take you there.” I unhook my luggage from my slightly bruised back from carrying heavy luggage meant for two ponies. She leads me to a tree-house thing and opens the door. I walk in and notice 5 ponies, probably awaiting the new stranger that is taking their rainbow colored friend to a distant island. “So you’re…” Dash pauses, waiting for my name. I brush back my mane, for added effect, “I’m Light, Light Flight, and I am the Senior Deliv-“ I was suddenly stopped by a cyan colored hoof to the chest. I look up to see a rainbow colored mane and Magenta colored eyes. She was the most beautiful pony I have ever layed eyes on. I wasn’t planning on trying dating soon but… “We don’t need a formal intro, just tell us your name and relax, it’s going to be a long trip, you should rest and take a load off.” She nodded to my mail sack. “I didn’t realize I still had it, I swear I left it back in Manehattan.” Rarity speaks up, “You can just set it by the door, darling.” I do as she says and walk back to the table they were sitting at. I look at the ponies around me and notice one with pink hair, covering her left eye. I whisper to Rainbow, “Why hasn’t she said anything?” She scoots closer and whispers back, “She is extremely shy, especially around new people. Pinkie Pie notices the silence, loudly shouts “Well, Let’s starts Rainbow Dash’s Goodbye party!” And almost instantly streamers and balloons start falling from the ceiling, and a plethora of ponies start streaming from the door. Where the hell did all these ponies come from? Before I had a chance to finish my thought I was grabbed by the hoof and taken to the bar area. I looked and saw it was Applejack and she was moving behind the bar. I didn’t know this place even had a b- “Since you’re the new comer I though you would be the first to have a drink. What would ya like?” I thought for a moment “I would like some apple cider, spiked” I winked when I finished my sentence, and she got my drift. She got the cider and vodka and poured it together in a shot glass for me. I grabbed it from the table and right before I gulped it down; I looked to my left and saw Rainbow Dash looking at me. She blushed and quickly looked away. I slightly smiled as I finished my shot. I tell A.J. to hand me some beer. She handed it to me and I walked towards Dash, dancing and sliding around all the partying ponies trying to get to my target. She looks up at me and awkwardly smiles “Oh, hey Light, how’s the party for ya?” I nod and say, “It’s nice, but I wanna know how Pinkie Pie set all this up so fast?” She giggles “Heck, I don’t even know, it’s a mystery, even for twilight.” There was an awkward silence. I break the silence, “So, do you uhh, wanna go out on the balcony and talk? It’s going to be a long trip so we might as well get acquainted with each other. She blushes again, “Sure why not?” We stand up and walk towards the stairs. I grab her hoof as a gesture of politeness. I know this is driving her nuts, for her cheeks match the color of her beautiful eyes. I open the door and we sit on the chairs conveniently places and sit in silence for a few minutes. She is the first one to speak up, “So, is there anypony waiting for you at home?” I’m shocked at the suddenness of the question, even though I know the answer quickly. “No, but what about you, I’m sure somepony goes for you faster than a Wonderbolt. “Nah, I’m usually not into the dating scene like the rest of my friends. I thought to myself, this is the perfect time. “Well, I know we haven’t known each other for that long, but would you be int-“She grabs me and shoves her warm lips on mine. I don’t do anything for the first few seconds, but her perfect lips finally take me away, and I kiss back. We sit there for a few minutes just kissing, but she tries to lean forward on me, slowly trying to stick her tongue on mine, but I return with my own attempt, and we keep on for what seems like forever. But now she is fully on top of me, taking breaths every so often. I fell her warm breath on my ear “Yes, I will be yours” I shift over on top of her and whisper to her, “Too late.” She smiles, and starts nibbling on my ear. I can feel her getting wetter as we go on. She speaks up, “Shall we take it to your place or mine.” I laughed “I don’t have a place actually” She starts rubbing my, uhh, yea… “I suppose you can share mine, babe” I’ll spare the rest of the details, but I’ll tell you this, we made the most passionate love ever experienced in the history of ponykind.
