Spawn of Disharmony

Chapter 7: Sweet and Elite
I was looking over a checklist I made for today. So far I picked up the book I ordered for Twilight’s birthday tomorrow. It was the latest book in the Daring Do series, Daring Do and The Society of The Silver Serpent. Then, I got a manecut from the town’s local barber, a white earth pony stallion with a black mane that had a white streak by the name of Sweeney Trot. Anyways now all I had to do now is wrap my gift for Twi.
I went to Sugarcube Corner to barrow wrapping paper from Pinkie.
“Thanks for letting me wrap this here Pinkie. I wouldn’t want Twi to see what I got her.”
“Of course Sethy! If she saw it then it wouldn’t be a surprise and gifts are suppose to be surprises!”
Right when I put the last piece of tape on Twilight came in. “Pinkie I got a letter form Rarity saying she can’t make it to the party because Opal is sick.”
“Oh that’s awful.”
“I thought about sending a letter to Princess Celestia asking if we can move the party to Canterlot. It wouldn’t be too much trouble if she says yes, would it?”
“Of course not, silly!”
“Great. I’ll go find Spike so I can ask.” Twi said leaving Sugarcube Corner.
7 minutes later she came back to tell us that Princess Celestia said it was okay.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day we were on a train heading for Canterlot.
“So, Seth have you ever been to Canterlot before?” Twilight asked me.
“Not I haven’t actually.”
“Oh this will be fun!” Twi joyfully said clapping her hooves.
I then noticed that Spike wasn’t coming. I wonder why. I mean we are making this trip to see Rarity so you’d think he’d be the first on and off the train. I was about to ask Twi about that when we came to a stop and I lost my train of thought. (No pun intended.)
We stopped at a station on the castle grounds where the Princess was standing nearby to greet us.
“Twilight, my student. It’s nice to see you and your friends again and happy birthday.”
“Thank you Princess.” Twi said while bowing, then she pointed towards me. “I don’t think you’ve met Seth before.”
When Princess Celestia looked at me I swear for a fraction of a second I saw a weird look in her eyes. Did she realize who I was? I hope not. If Celestia out of all ponies found out what I am, I’ll be so screwed. Then she spoke.
“No, I haven’t, but I remember that you mentioned him in some of your letters before.”
Then, She told us that Rarity was up in the room she was staying in. So we started up the stairs. The whole time I was thinking about Celestia and that look she got in her eyes when she saw me. Does she know? If she does then how? Was I just letting my fears get the best of me? Yet, don’t I have a right to be worried? I mean she’s PRINCESS BUCKING CELESTIA! If she sees me as a threat to Equestria she can easily have me arrested or something.
Now calm down Seth. You’re a nice guy. You have many great friends and they see you as there friend too. Hell, one of them let you into her home when you had none. So Celestia wouldn’t punish you just because you were created by one of her worst enemies, right?
While I was lost thought I didn’t realize that we made it to Rarity’s room and when she opened the door the others all yelled out. “Surprise!”
When I snapped back into reality it seemed that Rarity had fainted.
“Uhhh....Is she okay?” I asked.
“Oh don’t be silly! She must of been so happy to see us she end up fainting.” Pinkie responded before she turned to Rarity and started talking about a whole lot of nothing before she finally came to.
“What are you? How are you? Why are you?” Rarity babbled.
“Listen to her. She’s so excited to see us she can hardly talk.” Applejack said.
“What I mean to say is, what are you doing here?”
Twi gave the explanation and then Pinkie popped up to her. “Balloons are super easy to pack.” Pinkie then opened a small suit case and a bunch of inflated, untied balloons came out. How the hay is that even possible?
“Wow first you get me a suite at Canterlot Castle and now this. I don’t what to say, Twilight.”
Rainbow flew up to her. “How about by saying what your doing in that fancy get-up.”
I have to say I was thinking the same thing.
“This...uh...well I uh...I always put on something a little fancy when Opal is feeling under the weather. Cheers her right up.”
“Poor Opal. Where is the sick darling?” Fluttershy asked.
“Oh she’s...hold on for a minute.” Rarity then close the doors leaving everypony confused. I felt like she was hiding something.
After a short while she reopened the doors. “She’s resting on the bed.” Rarity said before Fluttershy zoomed past her.
“Poor baby. She looks awful.” Fluttershy stated hugging a sickly looking cat.
Everypony else walked into the suite.
“Is that my dress?” Twilight asked looking at a butter yellow dress that had a pink ribbon around it.
“Yes.” Rarity answered nervously.
“It’s so simple. So practical. So me! It’s the perfect dress for my birthday party. I love it.”
“You don’t know how glad I am to hear you say that.”

Later we walked to the castle ballroom.
“Isn’t it fancy pants?” Pinkie asked Rarity
“Fancypants? Where? I mean where did you find the time to set up all these decorations?”
Okay Rarity is diffidently hiding something.
“Oh I never leave home without my Party Cannon!” Pinkie said while pulling a light blue cannon out of nowhere.
How did she? You know what? It’s Pinkie Pie, screw logic.
Twilight walked to the window. “I thought about having the party outside, but they’re having another party on the castle grounds today.”
“Let’s Party!” Pinkie shouted and the festivities began.
When we started eating the cake before I got a piece Rainbow threw one at me. Oh it was on. We all started a playful food fight that left everypony in hysterics.
Then, we got to the pinatas and I ended up getting hit in the face by Applejack.
“Oh sorry sugarcube, you okay?” She asked not taking off her blindfold.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” I removed my hoof from my nose to see a red liquid. “Okay I’m bleeding. I’ll go get myself cleaned up. You gals carry on.” I went to the stallion’s room to wash off the blood and when I finished and walked out to be greeted by a white alicorn.
“Hello Mr. Seth.” Princess Celestia said.
The tone of her voice made me freak out. I was on the ground with my arms over my head while begging for mercy. It went something like this. “Princess please don’t have me arrested! I didn’t do anything! Don’t punish me for what Discord did!”
“Well, I was just saying hi, but what’s this about Discord?”
Wait what?! She didn’t figure it out earlier? And now I spilled the beans...Crap!
I figured that I already dug myself in too deep so I ended up telling her everything. Me being created by Discord, Screwball, the dreams, even my feelings for Rainbow somehow got in there. I have no idea how the hay that happened.
“So if you se me as a threat to your country, I won’t hold anything against you, but I promise that I have no loyalty to Discord.”
I looked up at the Princess and she was smiling. What the? Why is she smiling?
“Well, I must say that all this has been...surprising, and I’m amazed that you’d come clean so easily.”
“Well, I was a little scared and I haven’t really told anypony else.”
“You don’t have to be scared of me, I don’t unjustly punish ponies.” She fell silent for a few seconds, but it felt like hours. “Why haven’t you told your friends the truth? You are going to need to sooner of later.”
“I know.”
I went back to the ballroom to see that everypony was missing.
“Hello? Is anypony here.”
I walked to the window to see the them at the other party. It looked like Rarity was giving a big speech to a bunch of rich ponies. I walked outside to met up with them.
“Hey what’d I miss?”
A unicorn stallion walked up to Rarity.
“Miss Rarity, is this another friend of yours?”
“Oh yes. Fancypants this is Seth. Seth, Fancypants.”
“Uhh...Hi.” I responded. So Rarity introduced us to everypony at the garden party. Nothing too spacial happened.
“I just realized that you where gone for awhile, what happened?” Twi asked me.
“Oh I ran into Princess Celestia and we talked.”
“What’d you talk about.”
I feel silent for a second remembering what celestia said.
‘Why haven’t you told your friends the truth? You are going to need to sooner of later.’
“Nothing important.”
