//------------------------------// // ...Oh Yes It Can // Story: How Did This Happen? // by Cobolt Soundwave //------------------------------// Let me change that. This day just got better, because, around the next corner leading down the market area instead of seeing ponies selling and buying things, I say what looked like a huge gathering of ponies. You might be wondering why they were gathered around in just a tight cluster. Well it was because they were about to hold a competition...in in video games. Lemme tell you, I freaking love video games. Not to the extent that that is all I do but I do love'em, they're art in their own sense. So I fly over the mass of ponies to see, and hear what game it was gonna be that they used in the competition. It's Call of Duty: Ghosts...or at least its equivalent. So I fly over to the table to see if I can still register for it. "Hey, excuse me?" "Hmmm? Yes, can I help you?" "Yes, uhhh, is there still room in the competition?" There is...two spots left. Would you like to sign up?" "Yes please!" I dropped down onto the ground making a dust could form from the impact, and wrote my name down on the list of ponies competing and then I noticed, Barb's name was on there...wait so was Eris's...and Dash's, Vinyl's too? Dang, guess 'imma be playing against my buds today. "Yo, Bolt!" I heard my name being called so I spun around to see non other than the mare's, dragon and Draconicus I'd be going up against today. "Yo! sup girls! You in this too 'cause I saw your names here?" Vinyl walked up and fist-bumped me. "You know it, you in on this too?" "You know it." I say, putting my hands behind my head and grinning. "Sweet I hear the winner get 10,000 bits for first place and second place get 1,000 bits and third place gets 500." I swear my eyes must have bugged out of my head because I could've sworn that she had just said the winner gets ten grand. "Did you say...10,000 bits?" "Yup." My eyes narrowed, by brows furrowed, my hands clenched and unclenched. "You girls are going down." My grin was almost maniac in proportions. "Bring it!" they responded in a chorus of voices. ATTENTION EVERYPONY, THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL PARTICIPATING PLEASE COME INSIDE THE BUILDING NOW, THANK YOU The loud speaker had caught our attention. "May the best pony, dragon, or draconicus, win." We shook hands and nodded our heads at each other. We weren't friends for the time being, we were rivals. It had been about, oh I don't really know how long ago since we started this thing. It was just me, Barb, Eris, Dash, Vinyl, and a little brown colt who I didn't know. At the moment we were all caught in the most epic battles right now; we were racing first place on the leader boards and we were very close, score-wise. My hands were sweaty and my brow was furrowed in concentration; I would win this, there's no way I would lose. I hear somepony yell but I didn't know what. Alright, two more kills to go, I can do this, I can do this. Another shout, another pony less. Now just one more kill, one more kill to end this all and win that prize money. "Eat shotgun rain sucka!" I heard Barb shout out form her spot in this place. Two words...Bad. Move. What happened next had to have been the most epic thing I have ever done. At the precise moment that she shot at me, I ducked, pressed the button to let loose my throwing knife, and I watched that baby fly, right into the face of it's intended target. Chackmate...I win. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW-YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH! I WOOOOOOOOOOON! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was a little excited...okay so maybe it was more than a little, but hey can you blame me, I just won a butt-ton'a money and, in-front of so many screaming ponies cheering us both on. It was the most amazing adrenaline rush I ever had while playing this particular game. "We have a winner!" yelled the announcer...wait was that Luna or am I-. "Come over to the podium sir!" I made my way over to the front and, yup I was right, I did hear Luna, because she was the one who had organized this whole thing. "Hello and who are you...Cobalt? Is that you, you entered as well?" "And won too." I said with a big grin on my face. "It would seem so, so you win the 10,000 bit prize money, plus, you get a Pstation4 with a copy of 'Ponies of Duty: Phantoms', four controllers, one for each of you friends, and you also get a special, limited edition, P.O.D. shirt." "Sweet, nice. Yup it's official, best, day, ever." As I walked outside the storefront with my new game system, and check in pocket, I met up with my friends who had entered with me. They all had huge grins on their faces. "Dude! Where the hell did you learn how to play like that? You were just decimating ponies left and right from the start." "Would you believe me if I told you that I was any good at the earlier titles in the franchise?" Barb looked at me like I was insane. "Shut the hell up, no way." "Oh yes way, that is the only game from them that I can actually kick some flank in." And I wasn't boasting neither, I legitimately kick serious butt in that game, and now I have my own copy. Yup I'm a happy ma-er, stallion now. "Alright 'imma go drop off my new console back at Twilight's and then I'm going to the bank to deposit my money." "Dang dude you really whipped up good, heck, there was even this one mare that fell out of her sit 'cause you scared the shit out of her." said Vinyl. "Oh yeah I remember that, haha it was kinda funny. though I'm glad she didn't actually get hurt." " 'Naw just butt-hurt, in more ways than one." That got everypony laughing. "Haha, yeah oh man that was epic dude, eve I could get you, the most I got you was a failing sniping attempt but hey, you know me, I prefer to get up close and personal." Dash did a couple of jabs in the air like she was boxing. "Yeah well, getting up close and personal ended up having my blade up your butt more than once Dash." Barb and Vinyl giggled while dash narrowed her eyes in mock seriousness. "Yeah well that's as close to my butt as you'll get buddy." She said, hands on her hips. "Oh you, don't you remember last night, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout." Both Barb and Dash blush at the thought while Vinyl and Eris look at them with their brows raised. Eris leaned between their heads. "So what happened last night you two?" Dash spun around, her blush even redder now, her ears splayed back against her head. "N-Nothing, nothing happened, nothing at all. we were just playing a scary game and-" "You two clung onto my arms in fright, it was funny actually." Rainbow turned and gave me a death glare. "You're so lucky that I have a lot of respect for you beating us in that competition right now or I would kick your flank seven way to next Tuesday." I just shrugged my shoulders and walked on past them. "Alright I'm gonna go ahead and do what I gotta do then." I raised my free hand to say goodbye and left. ~Vinyl P.O.V.~ "You like him don't you Dash?" Dash went Rigid and her wings were twitching, yup she totally likes him. "Ummmm, uhhhh, hehe, what makes you think that?" She swallowed hard and was wringing her hands.Yeah she's got it bad alright. "Well it's just that you were very quick to try and hide the fact that you clung on to him for comfort when you got your tail scared off, plus," I walked closer to her. "you got it bad filly." Rainbow finally gave up. "ARGH! Why did I have to fall for him, I barely know him more than two days, two fricken days, and I already like him. Awwwww man, this sucks." Yeash, she really likes this guy, if she's gonna be all mopey like this. "Okay, I got a plan for ya' Dash." She looked up from her crouched position on the ground. "Huh?" "You are gonna go to him a week tops and you are going to ask him out." Rainbow's eyes bugged out. "I-I-I, I can't I'm too nervous, haven't felt like this since the best young fliers competition. My stomach is doing back flips right now and it's difficult as all hell to even keep cool around him. What you saw was just a face, a mask, if I tried to talk to him regularly I'm pretty sure I would just freak." "Well filly we are going to help you. In a week you'll be ready to ask him out and I'm sure he'll say yes." "There's no way I'm getting out of this, is there?" Me and the rest of the girls replied back. "Nope!" "*sigh* Okay...you win, let's just, WOAH!" "Atta'girl, now come one let's go eat, I'm starving, and that gaming sesh. left me hungrier than Shy's bear." All four girls left for lunch, with one of them reluctantly so, but nonetheless the went to eat. ~Back to my P.O.V.~ "Huh that was easy, I deposited my check and they let me open a debit card, sweet, now, what to do first?" Apparently depositing money was even less of a hassle here than it was back on earth. *Grrrrrrr* "Okay, food is definitely on the agenda, wait when was the last time I ate?...I think it was breakfast, that was about...hmmm...say five hours ago, if my phone is right." With Food on my mind I began looking for the nearest place to get some food. I found the most amazing thing, I thought I was gonna cry. Standing in front of me was a bloody Burger King, though it wasn't called that. Guess what it was called...no, no I'll you a few more seconds to guess it...still don't know, well it was called Burger Princess, go figure right. So after I finished staring at the beauty that was the Equestrian equivalent to Burger King, I decided to walk in and get me some food, because why not, I love this places' onion rings. When I walked in, I smelled the air, "Yup, just like I remember it." I walked up to the counter and was greeted by a younger pony mare probably around fifteen or sixteen if I had to guess. "Hello, may I take your order?" "Yup, lemme' have a number one, no cheese, and instead of hay-frie's can I get onion rings instead?" "Sure." "Okay and I'll have a...hmm...what drink do you recommend?" "Ohhh, I'd go with a sparkle cola, it's pretty good." What...sparkle cola...only one thing to say to that. "Edward better not be in my drink." "Okay, I'll have a medium sparkle cola, oh and the onion rings are a medium as well." "Okay sir that will be 9 bits." I hand her my de-bit card and she swipes it through the reader, then hands it back to me. "Here you go, your order will be ready shortly, and have a nice day." "You too miss." flashing her my trademarked grin as i made my way to the other side of the counter to wait for my food. After another 3 minutes I was walking out with my bag of food and on my way back to Twilight's place. I was set on setting playing some more P.O.D. when I got back, and eating my food. Mmmmmm, delicious onion rings, did I mention that I like onion rings. So anyway I was just getting back home when I ran into Twilight. "Oh, hello Soudwave." "Oh, hey Twi, how'ya been?" "Oh I've been good, What happened earlier when we left Rarity's? You, Eris and Barb just vanished and you left me all alone." She said with a pout. "Damn it Twilight, stop being adorable." "Heehee sorry 'bout that, I just saw a big gathering of ponies and I wanted to know what it was, so I flew over and found out it was a gaming competition being set up in the market area." "Oh that, yeah Barb told me about that. Sounds like a waste of time if you ask me." "Oh you wouldn't be saying that if you knew what I won." "Lemme' guess, you won a life time subscription for Marebox one?" "Nope, I won 10,000 bits, plus a new gaming system." I said with a huge grin on my face. Twilight's face reminded me of something like Tom the cat from 'Tom & Jerry' where he has his mouth just agape in surprise. "Y-Y-You won t-t-t-ten t-thousand bits!? From playing video games!?" "Haha, yup, video games ain't lookin' useless now huh princess.?" "I just...I can't even...you know what I'm not even gonna." As we both walk into the library I remember something. "Oh yeah, Luna was hosting the event too." "What? Really? Well I guess that makes sense, she does love to game, so it wouldn't really surprise me." "Haha, yeah, true dat'. Okay I'm going to eat now I'll be here if you need me." I sat down on the sofa and opened my bag to eat my food, but before I could Twilight was hovering over my shoulder. "Can I help you miss?" I asked her sarcastically. "Ummmm, could I get an onion ring...please?" "Well when you ask me with a cute face like that, how can I say no?" "Yeah sure, here you go." I pass her a couple of them, which she devours quickly. I just stare at her as she lightly moans from the flavor I'll bet. "Enjoying those?" Twilight quickly remembers she wasn't alone and splays her ears back and looks at me with a small blush. "Heehee, sorry. I just really like their food." "Alright," I take out the container that has the onion rings in them. "here we can share, there's plenty for the both of us, and besides I have a hayburger too so, it's all good." She let out a cute little 'yay' and hopped up onto the sofa beside me, happily munching on her share of onion rings while I ate my burger and played one of my favorite games; that game was Portal 2. The name didn't change but I didn't really know what it would be changed to since it didn't have anything to change it to with a pony-fied version of it. "So what's the point of this game?" Asked an interested Twilight. I had food in my mouth so I had to chew and swallow first. "Well, it's mostly a puzzle game, you know hitting a switch with a ball or holding down a button with cube so you can advance in the chamber and continue." That seemed to get her attention, considering she likes these kinds of things. "That, actually sounds like fun, can two ponies play this?" "Of course! You wanna play?" "Mmmhmm." She said while nodding her head. I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed another controller and walked back plopping it onto her lap. I quit from my current game, or more like Barbs game, and select co-op mode which takes Twilight a while to grasp but she quickly gets used to it. "Hey you're pretty good at this." "Oh well, it is puzzle solving and you me and these kinds of things." "Eeyup, I sure do." Twilight and I stayed playing Portal until Barb came in around two-thirty in the afternoon. She saw me and Twilight just playing on the sofa and was surprised by the fact that I had gotten her to play a video game at all. "Yeah when I told her it was more puzzle based, she asked if she could play." "Wow, she's never wanted to play something with me before." "Eeeeehh, I'm just that likeable I guess." So we played for the rest of the evening, doing puzzles and just acting like a general twit, but hey it was fun. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful, so when it was time for dinner we just ate and got ready for bed. I was tired from all the gaming I did today so getting some shut-eye was a must right now. About a week had passed since that day, soooo like...six days I want to say. Anyway, I finally got my new home and it looks awesome. The inside was amazing too, it was really spacious. The living room was decently big, I'd say it could hold probably about seven or so ponies. The bedroom, or should I say bedrooms are pretty huge too and there's four of them too, plenty of room for a queen, or princess size bed as they are called as such here, and whatever else you want to put in your room. There are two full bath's upstairs and another on downstairs, although this one is a half-bath. You should see the kitchen, it looks looks like something out of one of those commercials that tell you that you can improve your kitchen with only a little bit of money, real fancy. Heck I even have a room where I can finally put a mic stand, Computer and recording equipment. Yes, they have youtube here, except it ain't called that, they call it ponytube, I know another pony pun but oh well, it's same thing to me whatever you call it. So anyway I'm sitting at home on my sofa watching some cartoon that was on, when I heard the doorbell. Ding Dong I turned off the television and walked over to the door and opened. Behind it was Ditzy, the town's mailmare. Now I know what most of you are thinking and the answer is no, she isn't retarded and/or overly clumsy. She is clumsy to an extent but not to that degree, also her eyes aren't that cross-eyed as the show had made them, but it adds to the clumsy mare's charm. "Good morning, I have your mail!" She called out in a cheerful tone. "God I love her voice, It's like that one video that was on youtube where she tries to tell the Doctor she loves him. Yeah that kind of voice." "Thanks, ditzy, hey you up for some gaming later?" "Yup I just have to finish up my route and I can come right over!" "Okay sounds cool, I'll cya' then." "Bye Cobalt!" "Bye Ditz." And with that she was off to deliver the rest of her mail. With my mail in hand I made my way to the kitchen and I started filing the the mail I had. "Thank you letter, oh yeah that's right I helped a poor mare out the other day with a heavy box and then promptly left before she could thank me, granted I was a bit in a hurry that day. let's see...uhhhh...'nother letter, it's from Luna this time, asking me how I like my game system. "Just fine, thanks Luna." I say out loud. Okay what else I got in here...a letter from Celestia? Huh let's see what it says.........what? She's...she's bringing some of my friends who want to see Equestria too!? "THIS IS AWESOME!" After reading that letter I quickly run upstairs and shower, get dressed, and left for the train station. ~2 hours later~ Well that was a very interesting train ride. I met the most interesting griffon and azure unicorn...yup, it was Blackwing and Blue Haze...not buyin' it...didn't think so. It was Gilda and Trixie. They were on their way to Canterlot because they heard that they just started selling the next best gaming computer and they wanted to get it before it was sold out for another two weeks. "Cool, where's the store that sell's them?" I asked them as the train was pulling into Canterlot station. Gilda thinks for a minute. "Ummm, I think the advertisement said it was at Gametrot." Why am not surprised. "Okay, where is it at?" Both Trixie and Gilda look at each other before answering. "Well we don't exactly know the name of the street, but we know how to get there." Said Trixie. "Alright, I got time before I need to get to my appointment." "Awesome dude." When we got off the train I followed them to the store, talking and asking them what kinds of games they liked playing. Gilda's response was the P.O.D. series, somehow that didn't surprise me, and Trixie's was RPG's, and I could totally see that. "Hmm, maybe I should get Twilight into RPG's, haha she'd never want to leave home; those games are amazing." When we finally got to the store, i couldn't help but run inside and look at the shelves full of games. I was looking at a particular game on the shelf, it was Payday 2, and just like Portal 2, the name didn't change. As I was walking to the counter I over heard Gilda and Trixie, they sounded a bit distraught. "Damn it, I'm short 100 bits." "Yes, and I'm short 75." I decided to jump in. "Uhhh you ladies need help?" "Oh, no I," Trixie looked over at Gilda and she was giving her a look that said "Just ask him." or something like that. "actually yes, we do need a bit of help." Gilda continued for her. "Ya'see we're short a few bits and we can't get the computers we want." "Oh is that all, step aside I got this." I walked up to the counter and got the stallion the was behind its' attention. "Excuse me." "Hmm, oh hello how can I help you?" "Hey, I wanted to buy this game and I was also wondering if you had anymore of those sick gaming laptops left?" "Oh ho we sure do, we got three left!" He said rather cheerful that he might make another sale for those beautys. "Great, I'll take the game and the last three laptops for me and my friends here!" I put my biggest grin and turned around to see them with their mouths hanging open, surprised that I'd just buy them their things, even though I had just met them. "Hold up man, you don't have to-" I cut her off, "Nonesense, I insist, and I ain't taking no for an answer, capice?" I turned back around and saw the stunned face of the employee. I cleared my throat to get his attention and also break him out of his stupor, which seemed to do the trick. "So, can I buy them ooorrr?" He shook his head and recomposed himself. "Uhhh, ummm, y-yeah, that will be 1,550 bits sir." "Here you go," I gave him my de-bit card for him to swipe in the machine. "There you go, you're all set, lemme' just get you your things from the back room and I'll be right back." "alright man take your time!" I shouted back to him as he disappeared behind the backroom door. I turned to see two beaming females, which them promptly hug tackled me, saying over and over again. "Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!" I chuckled at the fact that I was being hugged by both Gilda and Trixie. "Haha, hey I said it was no big deal right? Besides, how were we going to keep in touch afterwards?" "Oh well, you said that you Lived in Ponyville correct?" Asked Trixie. "Yeah?" "Well we were moving there, from Manehatten. Gilda and I just couldn't stand it anymore, living there." "Ugh, yeah, you would not believe the crazy amount of rent you had to pay, plus everypony there was a total butt-head." I chuckled at Gilda's opinion of the big city, and she not that far off from my version back home. Nobody ever really gave a flying fuck about anyone but themselves. You were lucky if you met a genuinely nice person to talk to. "Well, that's why I don't live there in the first place." Trixie was going to say something when the stallion came back with our computer's, clearly having a bit of a tough time holding them all, so I went over and gave him a helping hand. "Here I got'em for ya' " "Gee thank man I'm no Big Mac, I hear the guy can buck a tree so hard it leaves his hoofmarks on it." "Yeah your not far off from that, he bucked one so hard he splintered the side of it." He whistled out that sound that you make when you want to say "Dang". "Jeez man, that's strong." "Eeyup, haha, anyway thanks for the help man." "Yeah no problem, enjoy your game and computers and come back soon!" "I'll try!" When we made out the door I felt the lips and beck of the two mares on both my cheeks. "Thanks for getting us those computers." Trixie said with a light blush on her face. "Y-Yeah, thanks dude." Gilda had an equally sized blush showing through her feathers on her face. I rubbed the back of my neck with a small blush of my own. "Hey, yeah no prob' girls. Oh hey do you want to come and meet my friends? It's almost mid-day so they should be almost here." They look at each other before both answering. "Sure!" "Alright, lets go then!" With our laptop boxes, and game, in hand we made our way for the castle. But they didn't know that yet. ~30 minutes later~ After explaining to my two new friends that my 'other' friends would be arriving here, she just shrugged and kept on walking beside me. We had also stopped by another store with more computers in it, and I bought three more, less expensive ones, for my friends for when they show up. you know give them little gift and what not. When we got to the front gates the guards stopped us. "HALT! What is your business at the castle citizen?" Producing the letter from Celestia, I showed them. "I had a meeting with the Princess today at mid-day, she sent me a letter, here take a look." "No, need citizen, I can see the royal seal on it, you may proceed." The guards moved to the side and used their magic to move the gate open for us. We walked past them, hearing them close it behind us, and made our way up the path and up the steps to the great big door that I had walked through already, "Man has it really been a week since I was last here?" I asked myself. As we walked through the doors, graciously opened by a couple of more unicorn guards, we walked up the carpet and to the throne where Celestia sat. "Hello Cobalt, I've been expecting you." "Oh man Celestia, if you had a spinny chair and a white cat on your lap as you pet it slowly, you'd have looked like something out of a 007 movie." "I haven't a clue what it is your talking about, so I'll assume that it's from your home. Now then Shall I send for your friends now?" "Yes, go ahead...oh wait, hold on a sec, can you put down something soft for them. I'd hate for them to get hurt when they arrive." Gilda and Trixie glanced at each other, but I didn't see them. "Of course my little pony. give me but a moment." She lit up her horn and then in the next instant there was a pop sound an on the floor in-front of the throne was a lot of padding, then with her horn still lit she sent the messages to my friends back home. I was feeling really excited, my friends were gonna come here to Equestria. After what felt like a good five minutes I heard a kind of crackling noise coming from the air, it started to intensify with every second that passed. "Is the princess bringing them from far away?" Asked Trixie. Once again I chuckled and grinned at her. "Yeeeeaaaaah, you could say that." I turned back around in time to catch the sight of my two friends Jaye and Dustin falling out of a respective holes in the air and landing on the padding with 'thud' and an 'omph' from each of them. "Ugh, what...the...what happened...that last thing I did was reply to a prank e-mail and then...I got nothing." "Well I do." i say getting both their attentions. "Woah! Dude...wait a minute Joe that you?" "Well you can call me by my middle name, or you can call me Cobalt Soundwave if you want." "Wait so, what, are we really in-" "Yessir, you are no in the beautiful and sunny kingdom of Equestria you two." Jaye hopped up and looked around at everything I the room. "This...is so...cool!" She squealed. "Yeah this place is awesome," Then he looked down and did a double-take. "Woah, I'm a pony!" Then Jaye looked down too. "Hey so am I, and I'm my OC too...*gasp* which means I'm a unicorn too! Oh oh can I levitate stuff?" The concentrated on a random plate in the room and then it proceeded to float over to her. "Woah!" Her sudden outburst broke her concentration, sending the plate plummeting to the floor, but it never shattered because Celestia caught at the last minute. "That's so cool." "Hey what kind am I man?" "Your a unicorn too and your cutiemark is a sub woofer, oh ya if I remember correctly your OC's name was Subsonic Bass." He tried to find it but I told him it was on his neck. "Cool, yeah I figured it would have something to do with music." "Yeah and you cutiemark is a musical note with a little paint swirl around it." Jaye sort of half fist-pumped and jumped a little. "Woo-hoo!" At that moment I remembered the gifts I had. "Oh yeah I got you guys something, you know, sort of like a welcoming present." I handed them the boxes containing each of their computers. "Dude, sweet. High-five!" As Jaye picked up her computer I suddenly realized we were short a zebra. "Hey where's-" I was cut off by a crackling noise and a muffled yelling followed by a zebra landing directly into Celestia's lap, making them both let out an 'omph'. In Celestia's lap sat my buddy Dragonpony, I never did learn his real name but, aaahh, it's fine. His OC's name is Draco Meteor and his cutiemark looked like a giant smile, must be for the fact that he's a smooth talker. "Ow, that is the last time I mix red bull and monster to stay up all night long to finish a project." Then he looked around and saw the wall, the tapestries and lastly, us. I could see the gears turning in his head, putting it all together. "Okay, I get it now. I'm in Equestria," He looked down at his hands. "and I've been pony-fied, or zebra-fied...neat." "Can you get off of me my little pony?" Celestia asked him. I saw him grin. "I very well could, but leaving the embrace of such a beautiful and stunning mare seems like a shame." He flashed her a toothy grin, which caused her to blush, but it quickly evaporated and her got the hint and hopped out of her lap. "Yo, Draco wassup my friend!?" He turned to see who had called him by his ponysona's name and freaked. "Holy hell man, what the hell are you doing here?" "Well I live here now, been for about a week already." "Nice, hey what that?" He noticed the slender box in my grip. "This my good zebra, is your new computer. complements of me. Thinks of it as a 'welcome to Equestria' gift, the others got one too." He looks confused for a second. "Others?" "Yup, Dustin, and Jaye are here too. They're right there." They waved him over and made my way over to them as well. "Hey girls, so these are my friends I was talking about. They came from way back home, here I'll explain 'cause I know you want to know." Gilda and Trixie nodded their heads. "Okay so here goes, I came from a planet called earth..." ~10 minutes later~ "Okay, I think I get it now." "Yeah, you guys came from an awesome place." It took me a while to explain everything to them but they seem to get it now. "Yeah, but not as awesome as this place, oh! I completely forgot, Subsonic, Misty, Draco, I'm sure you already know, but these two are Gilda and Trixie." "Sup." "Hello." "What up girls." They nodded back. "Hello." "Sup." I grabbed my computer box and bag containing my game and gestured for them to follow. "Hey guys let's go so we can catch the train at one o'clock." The others turned and and waved or bowed goodbye to Celestia before leaving he room. "Hey you guys go on ahead, I gotta ask Celestia something." "Okay we'll me waiting outside for'ya." ~Draco's P.O.V.~ I walked back to that solar beauty intent talking to her. "Excuse me Princess." I got her attention as she was about to sit back down in her throne. "Oh! Draco Meteor I presume? What is it you need, I thought you were going with your friends to Ponyville. You don't want t ogo back, do you?" I closed my eyes and chuckled. I raised my hand and lowered it quickly, showing that that wasn't my intent on coming back to see her. "Oh, so what is it you need?" "Well, I would very much like to take you out one evening." She clearly thought it was a joke until I got closer to her, close enough that she could feel my body close enough that she could feel my heat. I pulled her into a sort-of half hug and I leaned in closer to her ear so that my muzzle was almost touching it. "It's just, your a ruler and a princess of this land, and must have many stallions trying to seduce you for one reason or another, but I'm interested in the mare behind the crown and the mask. I want to know what makes you smile, laugh, what puts a smile on your beautiful face," My muzzle close enough that she can feel my breath on her ear with each word. "and an evening with me will leave you feel like a giddy innocent school filly, all, over. again." Before I bask away, I nibble on her ear lightly, making her let out a cute little gasp ans shiver. "I'll see you around Princess!" I called out as I walked back out the door to the courtyard, leaving a heavily blushing Celestia to stumble back to her throne, very flustered. ~Back to me again~ "Hey dude come on, hustle, we're gonna miss the train back home. What did you have to ask her anyway?" He grinned at me. "Oh nothing too important, just how she got us here and all." "I raised an eyebrow at him but just ignored it. "Alright guys come on let's go home." This day has been pretty good so far. I got my friends from back home, plus two new friends, not to mention they're Gilda and Trixie. Yeah I think it's safe to say that today really has been all in all, very good. now we just had to get on our train and head home, maybe even go grab a bite to eat with all my friends. We'll see though, first tough, we gotta' get to the train before it gets here and leaves.
