//------------------------------// // Peach 39 // Story: PEACH! (Season 2) // by ChromeRegios //------------------------------// “Ugh...” Celestia groans, as more and more notes from Spike came popping out every now and then, containing help messages, damage reports, deaths, and even disappearances! “Sister, why don’t you take a break... you have been overworking yourself lately...” Luna said in concern. “Thank you Luna... but, I must tend to my duties, otherwise~” “Forget about your duties for a while, dear sister...” Luna said calmly. “I shall take over your problems for a bit...” “But~” “No buts, ‘tia...” Luna said, putting her hoof on to Celestia’s shoulder. “I’m your sister... I should at least help you out, think of this... as my contribution for what I have done years ago...” Celestia could not argue anymore, she was so exhausted that she had no choice but to accept Luna’s offer... As Celestia heads to her bedroom, Luna begins to work for her sister... She starts to unravel one of the scrolls and reads it. Just when she was in the middle of her reading, another ten dozen of scrolls fell down upon her head, burying her within the piles of scrolls. Luna pops her head out of the pile, letting out a huge gasp. “My word! How does Spike wright so fast?!” Luna said, as she frees herself out of the files of paper on top of her. Just as she was about to clear the way, another set of scrolls came down on her. “OH, COME ON!” Luna shouts in her frustration... “Ugh! No wonder she was so calm always... this takes too much patience!” Luna then quickly calls in her guards to help her with the scrolls... The guards came in and quickly sorted out the scrolls. One by one, they picked up the scrolls and stacks them to one crate after another as the endless flows of scrolls keeps flooding in. “This could take a while...” Luna scowls as she and her guards put the scrolls in order according to time of their arrival. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this time, Ichigo along with his companions arrived directly at the castle gates. Ichigo never said a word since they’re travel to Equestria. Thinking that he might still be upset of what happened to Twilight and Fluttershy. “What's the matter? Sulking for the death of those, creatures? That’s kind of weak of you, Ichigo. Even by your standards.” Mayuri said, still with his devilish grin in his face. Ichigo hands turn to first, gripping tightly, holding out his anger to himself, that for the fact that he heard that from, Mayuri of all persons... “What did you say...?” Ichigo said under his breath, but still audible. Without warning, Ichigo appears in front of Mayuri and grips his neck as hard as he can... “You take that back...” Ichigo said, with his eyes filled with fury and anger... “H-hold on... stop fighting!” Hanataro said, while shivering on his own legs. “Ichigo! Stop it, this isn't the time for that!” Rukia said, attempting to calm Ichigo down... “Your right...” Ichigo said, then drops Mayuri down...hard! “This isn’t the time for this...” Ichigo then turns to the gate and kicks it open... surprisingly, no guards greeted them, nor shouted at them of why Ichigo kicked the gate open. “Ichigo! Why’d you do that?!” Rukia shouted. “Shut up... lets go.” Ichigo said, still cold as ever. “They all went to the main hall of the castle, Hanataro lets out a sigh of amazement... “Woooahhh... So this is Canterlot Castle...” He said to the group, then ran towards a statue of Celestia. “What’s this a horse?” Hanataro said, laughing as he gazed upon the statue of the princess... “Hey, Hanataro! Have some respect!” Rukia said, making Hanataro stop at his laughter. “What? It’s just a horse...” Hanataro claims. “That's their leader you're laughing at, and probably their goddess!” Rukia said, making Hanataro pale as Mayuri is. “Why didn’t you tell me that earlier Ms. Rukia!” Hanataro pouts knowing he just might insulted their god. “Well... luckily it's just their entity and~” “Oh she’s quite real... she lives here for your information...” Rukia adds... making Hanataro pure white in fear. He suddenly drops to his knees and bows over and over, asking for forgiveness... Rukia just rolls her eyes and moved on to find Celestia. “Well, this castle is so huge that I can’t even remember where to go!” Rukia proclaims. “Why don’t you take that wing Ichigo while I check the other way?” Rukia suggested, Ichigo just went on without no arguments. Mayuri and Hanataro were left at the grand hall, while Rukia and Ichigo went for the search of the Princesses... Ichigo wanders off to the vast corridor, opening every room he sees until he came upon a room with scrolls and a lit candle in it... Ichigo mingles with it, and flips through the scrolls, seeing them as reports of property damage. As he was in deep thought, hoof steps was heard outside the room... Ichigo panics, thinking that it was a guard, and might think that he was mingling with personal things. Not looking where he was stepping, he trips on a bucket and falls down with a thud, causing the candle to drop between his groin as the fire burns through his uniform. Ichigo frantically flaps it, to extinguish the flames, ultimately, he took off his pants and stepped on the flames, killing it in the process. Just then Luna enters the room with a surprised look on her face, just as Luna was about to scream, Ichigo reacts and covers her mouth. “Shh! Shh!!! Shut up! This isn’t what it looks like!” Ichigo said, in a whisper but Luna starts to kick and hollering under Ichigos palms. Ichigo struggles, until he slumps Luna down on the desk while he was behind Luna and covering her mouth. “Ichigo! I found Celestia, she was~” Rukia stops and sees Luna and Ichigo on the room... with his pants down and Luna in an awkward position... Celestia also drops her mouth, completely in utter surprise. “W-wait... no... THIS ISNT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!”
