Chapter 26 Team Iron Pony Part I Training
The days after Luna had left had been average to say the least. Fluttershy finally came over to meet Marley, Tabloids said that the griffins were meeting in Canterlot to discuss the growing turmoil between the two nations, and we had finally gotten Jacob laid. It took an eternity since he had a girlfriend back home. Long story short Fluttershy is apparently a beast in bed and Jacob has been in his room ever since, and hasn't left yet. Elliott on the other hand found that Rainbow was bi, but so did Graham so they are having an Iron Pony contest, but this wasn't just any contest. This contest had to be extreme! Over the top! And probably resulting in one of us being hurt or dead or both. We decided that
It would be best to do this in teams using the captain system that was so often used in gym.
We decided that we would chose teams then have a week to train for the contest and to mentally prepare. The contest was 3 obstacle courses, One weight lifting, a pick up a mare as fast as you can challenge, and fast speed course. We decided the teams at dinner; we wrote it on a piece of parchment, and it read.
Team 1 Team 2
Van. Grant
Cory Graham
Elliott. Michael
Jacob is being a pussy so he's out.
When we were finished we looked at ourselves happily, and decided what would be at stake here. We finally got to an agreement after about ten minutes. The pot would 3000 bits a person so it would be equally divided among the team. Also losers had to be Trixie's slave for a day when Grant somehow gets her back from Ghostrider.
I decided that I shouldn't leave Luna in the dark mainly because she had a "Secret Surprise" for me next week. So I decided to teleport to Canterlot Castle to tell her that I would be in intense training for the next week or so. I arrived in her room to find her in there, but not alone in the bed next to her there was another pony. A large stallion with a gag in his mouth.
"Oh flying fuck." I thought as I look at her with wide eyes.
She began to stutter "It's not what it looks like!"
My patients began to thin. I yelled "Then why is a stallion tied to the bed with a gag in his mouth!?! Hold on a minute."
I reach down to the stallion and pulled the gag out of his mouth, and yelled "Your a saint!" and ran down the hallway.
I looked at her and ask "Now please tell me what that is about?"
She looked at me on the verge of tears and said "Please it's not what it looks like!"
I sighed and said "I'm leaving. Don't follow."
I quickly fled the scene of the crime to avoid Luna to see my manly tears flow like a waterfall. I transported into my room and composed myself. Soon I had finished and walked downstairs. Cory asked "Dude what took so long?"
Jacob who finally left his room continued "Yeah, was Luna chocking you chicken?"
I replied "Nope actually it's the exact opposite. She was with another stallion."
Elliott replied "Ouch bro."
I said "Think nothing of it."
Michael said "Dude we should get hammered!"
I replied "Hell no! The last thing a did with a hangover was bring you here."
We all laugh, and when we were done I said "No seriously training begins tomorrow. Jacob since you decided not to be a social recluse anymore we will put you on Grant's team, and I'll get Big Macintosh."
They all said "All right."
Graham said "Cool now can we watch American Pie? Haven't seen that one in a while."
I said "Yeah that sounds good. What about you guys?."
The nod and I say "Good now let's get this show on the road!"
After drowning my hidden sorrow in a pool of Mountain Dew I decided that it was time to hit the hay, and get some shut eye. It had been a long day. I laid down I'm bed, but couldn't get comfortable so I decided to take a pillow and a blanket to go stargazing on the deck. I finally get out into the nice frigid cold, and I gaze up at the stars. Though tonight I saw something strange, no constellations just stars that have arranged themselves in the shape of tears flowing from the moon. I think to myself "This is it I'm going to settle this right now!" and I walk inside, put my stuff away, and mentally prepare myself for the grueling conversation to come.
I once again for the second time that night teleport that night to Canterlot Castle, but this time not in Luna's room but to the outside of Celestia's personal chambers I needed somepony to talk to who knows how to solve my problem. I see that there are two royal guards there.
The one one the right says "You are not authorized to be here please leave or deadly force will be authorized."
The other is bowing and says "Prince of the night it's an honor to be of service to you."
I reply "Thank you. I need to speak to Celestia immediately. It's a dire emergency."
They reply in unison "Right away sir!" and walk into the chambers to get the pony that can hopefully fix my problems. This was going to be a long night.
