Howler walked off leaving me with complete strangers so I decided to turn around and walk to my house. Before I could go though somepony grabbed my shoulder I turned around it was the young white unicorn. She wanted to me to stay I could see it in her eyes but I couldn’t read why though.
“You’re a mess.” She said as she took the sunglasses from my mane, I felt offended, I didn’t think my sunglasses were that dirty.
“She is right you are pretty dirty.” Spike added.
“Sorry for not having the ability to shower for a week.” I said as Princesses Cadence and Spectra along with Lord Shining walked in.
“We thank you for bringing Howler back.” Princess Spectra said I had no idea what the big deal was with this guy, why was a werewolf held in such high regard. “Without him we might’ve not been able to bring Twilight back to her usual self. What is your name?”
“Cres.” I replied
“Well then Cres how about you stay for dinner as our way of saying thanks.” Princess Cadence offered as the purple alicorn, Princess Celestia, orange guard, and Howler walked back. I had gotten back ahead of schedule and my grandfather and aunt would still be gone on their business trip in Manehattan and I had nothing better to do so I agreed.
“I almost forgot to introduce everyone to you Cres.” Howler said Yep you did do that. “This is Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Princess Twilight, Rainbowdash, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo.”
“Nice to meet you all but I have to go deliver something.” I said as Sweetiebelle gave me back my sunglasses, they looked confused as I turned around a left.
I walked down the stairs to the center of the city; I proceeded to take Diamond Street. I continued my way to the less luxurious part of town, the part that I call home. I continues walking until I found an old rusted ladder that led to the roof of an apartment, I climbed it at the top was a safe, hammock that was underneath an umbrella, a couple of blankets on it, and a radio. It was all I owned, in the safe held several thousand bits that I’ve earned through my deliveries, but I never spend any of it. I sat the shovel down next to the safe opened it and took around twenty bits out and put them in my pocket. I relocked it and went back down the ladder, before walking back down Diamond Street and taking a left heading to the part of town that held the ponies that weren’t made of crystals. I continued my till I reached a bakery owned by an elderly griffon. I walked in and he greeted me.
“Cres I have a delivery I need to make for Princess Spectra.” He said that was his way of saying hi to me, I have been working for him since I was seven he took me off the streets of Las Pegasus and brought to his bakery where he taught me most of what he knew. He handed me a box that had a ribbon wrapped around it.
“How was it visiting Las Pegasus?” He asked as he led me to the door where my bike was located. It was black and a hybrid between a road and mountain bike in the front was a basket for the bow.
“It was fine, crappy as usual though.” I replied as I got on and started on my way back to the castle.
It would take me around fifteen minutes to get there, this was around my seventh delivery to the castle this month of course we were the only bakery who delivers in the crystal Empire. I took Diamond Street speeding past the crystal ponies; I kept going until I reached the castle. I stopped and parked my bike in the front. I got the box and walked up the stairs, I knocked on the door and Princess Cadence answered the door.
“Cres you were faster this time by around two minutes.” She said since the bakery had a policy of we will get to you in less than twenty minutes everypony who ordered from us timed me.
“Didn’t know I was being timed.” I joked.
“How about you come in this time.” Princess Cadence offered as she took the box from me,
“If you insist.” I replied as I walked in behind her, Lord Shining walked over to us and took the box.
“Cres you’re early.” He said as he led us to were a party was being set up.
“What’s going on here?” I asked
“Well Cres Cadence is going to have a baby.” Spectra said as she jumped out from behind me.
“Congratulations your highness.” I said the griffin always wanted me to be respectful to those in power.
“Cres I’ve told you before you don’t have to address me like that after all we are very well acquainted.” Princess Cadence said
“I guess I forgot I’ve been in Las Pegasus for the past week.” I replied she looked at me with a concerned look.
“I know you grew up there but why go back?” She asked
“I just needed to see something is all.” I said not wanting to go into what I was really doing there. We continued our conversation until we reached the ballroom where the ponies I had met earlier today were all standing around talking.
“Cres I thought you had to go?” Scootaloo asked
“Well you see it’s complicated.” I replied as I rubbed my head.
“Cres I think it’s about time for you to go make another run, but when you go could you ask that griffin if he would allow you to have the evening off so you can join us for dinner?” Cadence asked
“Sure.” I replied
“Spectra could you walk him out?” Shining asked and she did, I got on my bike and headed back to the bakery. I explained everything to the old feather brain.
“So you want some time off again?” He said puzzled.
“Come on feathers Gilda can make the runs tonight.” I said he took it into consideration before reaching a decision.
