How Did This Happen?

by Cobolt Soundwave


Music & Cake

While I was out with Dashie all day, my other friends were off doing their own things.

Let's check out what they were up too. A little help here Eris?

sure thing Bolt. *snap*

Bass's P.O.V.

"Well - now what do we do?"

"I dunno' 'bout you but I gotta' get home, so I'll see you guys later." Gilda said as she flew off.

"Yeah, same here, I gotta' get going too, I do make music sooooo, yeah, later!" Vinyl called out as she was already several feet away from where I was standing.

"Okay, I guess I'm alone now."

"Hey what am I chopped liver...which by the way is gross, ugh" Eris shuddered at the thought of it.

I just shook me head. "Hey, I think I'm just going to go to Sugarcube corner - you wanna' come with?"

"Sure I guess - I don't anything better to do."

So we set off to the bakery, just talking about random stuff.

"You listen to music Eris?"

"Oh some rock, some dupstep, anything really that sounds good to my ears."

"Any bands?" I asked; the response I got wasn't what I was expecting.

"I See Sombra, and System of a Down." she said in response.

"Wait, you have those bands here too!?" I asked half surprised and half excited.

"Here...too...what do you," She facepalmed. "right, forgot, your world and ours are somewhat similar in the sense that somethings are just a bit...changed."

"Well, I think I know what band I will be seeing soon." I said with a grin on my face.

We talked a bit more before we got to the bakery and made our way in. When we got inside I saw Misty to my left and she looked a bit shy with the stallion she was with at the moment. He was a well dressed stallion, complete with a red Bowtie.

"Hey, Misty!"

She turned at hearing her name being called to see who it was, and when she saw me she gave me a toothy grin.

"Hey, Bass."

The stallion in question stood up and offered his hand to me in greeting. "Hello there good man, how are you?"

"Hi, I'm fine, and yourself?"

"Oh just brilliant, perfect day here, and I just love the pastries here," His face gains a scowl. "just not those cursed pears, ugh, can't stand those things."

I just chuckled. "They ain't that bad."

"Oh no, they are the devil in disguise those things that they are, well anyway I must be off I promised my lovely friend misty here I'd show her something amazing, come along Misty, Allons-y."

"Ummm, okay. Bye Bass.

With the Doctor and Misty having left the place I walked over to a very bored looking Draconequus.

"Uuuuuugggghh."

"What's the matter? Hungry?"

She just grunted and pointed at the counter where an assortment of cupcakes sat.

I walked over to the counter and just as I was about to ring the little bell, Pinkie popped up from behind the counter.

"Hiya!"

I jumped back a bit from the initial surprise but quickly regained at least some of my dignity from being scared like that. Knowing Pinkie I should have expected that.

"Hey Pinkie, I was wondering if I could get some cupcakes, the ones from that stack over there?"

"Sure, Subsy," Pinkie grabbed a good six cupcakes and handed them to me on a small tray, somehow not ruining them at all. "that'll be six bits."

It was at that time when I had realized.

I had no bits.

"Hey, Eris? Can ya' help me out here?"

Eris just snapped her fingers making six bits appear on the counter, poofing me back to the booth, and separating the cupcakes evenly between us.

"Huh, well that's convenient."

Eris just demolished her share, while I sort of eat a bit more slowly. I say sort of since I still ended up with some frosting on my face.

Eris was just leaned back in her seat patting her stomach with a content smile on her face.

"That's better, I was starving."

I just chuckled.

"I guess so." I said, motioning to her cheeks. She must have known what I meant since she took a napkin and began to get remove the frosting from her face.

She saw my grinning face and pouted at me. "What? They're good and I was hungry." That only served to make me chuckle which made her join in soon enough, laughing at the amount of frosting she had wiped off her face when she looked down at her napkin.

She sighed as she reclined back into her seat. "So, what else do you wanna' do?"

I thought about it for a bit. "We could go to the music store we saw a while back."

"Alright, let's go then."

We got up and left the bakery with Pinkie waving goodbye to us.

~~~~

We arrived at the music store a few minutes later, and when we entered, it was like walking into heaven.

There were so many music albums, that it was just insane, of course there was I See Stars, or I See Sombra as it was called here. There was System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold which didn't seem to change it's name. There were so many, there was even Metalonca, Metallica I assume. My browsing was disrupted by a mare behind the counter.

"If you want, we got a whole bunch a new stuff in the back." The mare said with a grin.

"Thanks, uhhh,"

"Names, Melody Chord." She said reaching out her hand, which I grasped in my own and gave a shake. She had a pair of sunglasses on her head, resting above her horn, she had a piercing on both her ears, she had on a couple of wristbands with some bands names on them, and she was wearing an I See Sombra Tee-shirt.

"Thanks, Melody," I turned to go to the back but then spun back around to face her. "do you have any suggestions?"

"Oh do I have suggestions," She said stepping from behind the counter. "do you like I See Sombra?"

I looked directly into her eyes and said, "Do I like them she says, ha! I love them."

"Great, then you're gonna' like this."

What entailed was a good hour long conversation of bands we liked and of what bands the other should give a listen to.

It was still daytime when I left the shop and started my way back home when I ran into Trixie.

No, really I just walked right into her. Bothe of us fell over on the ground, landing on our butts, which are sore now by the way.

"Ow, great now I won't sit right for a while."

"If it makes you feel any better, nether will I."

Trixie looked up and saw me looking back with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that Trixie, I wasn't looking were I was going."

Trixie seemed to blush, but I'm not too sure.

"Uhhh, I-It's okay, I uhhh, I wasn't looking were I was looking either."

I stood up and gave her my hand to help her up as well, which she took gratefully in her own.

"Hey, I was just heading home right now," I picked up my bag that had my CD's that the mare back at the store gave to me to listen too, which was awesome. Free music is best music. "you wanna' come with? We can listen to some music, I just got some from the music store, which is partly owned by Vinyl by the way, which is awesome."

Trixie dusted herself off and then looked back up at me. "Sure, that sounds...nice."

"Alright, let's go."

~~~~

Huh, looks like my Buddy, Bass might be getting some back at the house soon, but let's look at what my good friend Draco's up to. Hey Eris?

On it. *Snap*

~~~~

Draco's P.O.V.

'Ahhhhh, Canterlot, How I love you. Not for your ponies, but for the fact that that lovely mare of the sun lives here.' I thought to myself as I stepped off the train and on to the platform. The train ride was that long and it was actually pretty nice.

'Time to enact my plan to get that beautiful mare with me. just gotta' work the magic a bit.'

"Now then, what do I get her - If I go and see her I have to have something," I racked my brain for an idea before the obvious thing came to mind. "of course, cake!"

So I made my way to the nearest bakery and had one made. thankfully they had one just made and all they had to do was frost it. Not quite sure what Celestia's favorite frosting was so I just kind of guessed. I don't think she'll mind, seeing as if she really likes cake and I mean REALLY likes cake, then I should be good.

I made my way to the castle and before I make it to the gates, Luna was just walking out and noticed me.

"Oh, Draco, what are you doing here?"

"Oh hello there, Luna, I was just coming to see your sister. Is she here today?" I asked her with a big toothy grin on my muzzle.

Luna just gave me a look that said "Duh", "Of course she is, she runs the day court."

"Right, or course, anyway, I was just going to see her and see if she had time for a bit of a lunch break with me."

"Well, I think she does have time," Luna got a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "how about I teleport you to her, you know, as a nice little surprise."

"Sure go ahead Lulu."

Luna narrowed her eyes at me and had a small grin on her face. "Only my sister can call me that." And with that she teleported me right in front of her, completely catching her off guard and making her let out a gasp of surprise.

"Hello, there Princess, did you miss me?" I said with a toothy grin.

Celestia's face still held the same shocked expression. "I ummm, I uhhhh."

I chuckled at her stutterin, I mean come on, I made the princess of the sun stutter. Celestia, the one who's always got something so say back and never hesitates, is stuttering. That felt damn good.

"Hey, it's okay, you don't have to say anything - look I brought cake!" I exclaimed as I opened the box I had, revealing a very delicious looking chocolate cake, which I had a feeling Celestia really wanted since she was leaning towards it with her mouth hanging open slightly.

"Hehee, hey Celley, you should probably close your mouth, don't want to catch fly's now do you?"

Celestia blinked a couple of times before closing her mouth and sitting upright on her throne again.

"I ummm,"

"Do you want some?" I said waving the box in front of her. All Celestia did was nod her head slowly.

"Well I assume you could afford a little break...right?" Once again Celestia nodded.

"Okay, we could go back to Cobolt's house, you know, so nopony bothers you while to relax."

"I ummm, alright." Was all she said before her horn sparked to life.

'Celestia, you are going to have fun on you little break.'

~~~~

When we got back to the house I heard music coming from upstairs; figured that Bass might be in his room. Anyway I had something else on my mind, something more sugary and sweet. My delicious Celes-er, Cake...ahh what the hell Celestia's also delicious...or I would think she is.

'doesn't matter, I still have to separate the cake for us.'

As I was about to do just that, I noticed it was already done and Celestia was eating a pretty large slice. She stopped, almost as if she knew I was staring at her, and looked up to see my smiling and chuckling self.

"Enjoying the cake there Celley?"

She quickly levitated a napkin over to herself and began removing any frosting that had gotten on her muzzle while eating, but I stopped her before she could do so.

"Here let me get it for you," I grasped her hand that had the napkin in it gingerly and took it in my own and leaned in to get the offending confectionary off of her pristine coat. That is until I moved the napkin to the side and instead, I licked some of the frosting off her cheek when I was close enough. To say that her face was red would be an understatement. Her face was crimson like an apple; the most beautiful apple of the bunch, though.

Celestia shot her hands up to the sides of my muzzle and brought her lips crashing into my own. After what felt like years, she pulled away.

"Ever since you came the day you showed up, you had me confused and flustered all at once, and I hadn't felt like a regular mare until you spoke those words to me."

'Ummm, damn son'

"If you really want to prove to me that you think I'm beautiful," She looked me straight in the eyes. "then prove it."

'Uhhhh, wow...what...the...frick...just happened...wait why am I asking, she just asked you to prove it to her,' I turned to follow her upstairs to my room. 'and boy am I gonna' prove it.'

~~~~

Hahaha I guess all my friends had a good day today, huh?[/color

Yup, Misty met the good ol' Doc, Bass got Trixie to come over and hang out with him, and Draco...well, I think it's safe to assume that, that won't be in this story.

Yeah, that's a bit to colorful to be in this particular story, after all, it is rated teen, not mature, so if you guys want to see what happens between those two will have to wait for the side stories that have the more, *ahem* mature material in them.

Makes sense, after all, don't want to go try to push the limits of how mature you can get with it right?

Yeah, I'd rather not get it flagged for it being too adult.

Mmm, right then, well, if you guys liked this chapter then get ready for the next chapter.

Yeah, you'll witness Cobolt here having to walk in on the weirdest scene possible since getting to Equestria.

Well, it looks like my fate is sealed. Oh well, I guess it couldn't get that weird right?

You're just going to have to find out there bud.

Wonderful. Well I think it's time to say goodbye for now, and until next time.
