I woke up the next morning and felt the same warm sensation from before still enveloping my body. I observed my body carefully and came to a great surprise when I saw a sleeping Luna snuggling on my chest; my cheeks were beet red at that time and my heart was pounding hard. I gently lifted her head, but this made her to bury her head deeper into my chest;my heart pounded even faster.
I also realized she smelled like jasmine. So good.
"Cute, but why?" I thought
But amid the insane amount of awkwardness, something sparked inside me. Deep within my soul.
No, not a boner.
I gently stroked her fragrant ethereal mane and scratched her behind the ears, Luna sighed happily at my touch. However, I got lost in the moment; that I stirred her up from her sleep.
"Good morning Nathan." Luna greeted me, but when she realized her current position; Luna quickly pulled her head away.
"Oh my, I-I am so sorry Nate; I didn't mean to but last night I got cold so I--" I stopped her as I put my hand on her shoulder.
"That's okay Luna." I said reassuringly "However, I do feel that you have some other motive." I smirked. Her face immediately turned into a deep shade of red.
"Gotcha."
"B-because I want to thank you personally." she said, looking into my eyes. Her cheeks were beet red. However, before either of us could react; another voice intervened.
"You lovebirds are so sweet." Cadance smirked. Twilight and Celestia were also watching with nasty smiles plastered on their faces. Thankfully, Jenny was still asleep; if not, she would definitely stir some fiasco with the Princesses.
Despite her younger age, Jenny is far more mature than she looks. She could become overprotective sometimes, especially when it comes to me and my girl-friends.
"N-niece Cadance." Luna said while getting up from the couch "I-it's not what it looks like." she stuttered.
"Oh really auntie?" Cadance smirked "Because yesterday somepony said--Mmmff!" she was cut off when Luna magically spawned a chocolate bar and shoved it into her mouth.
"Mmmf auwntie! *incoherent speeches* " Cadance tried to protest, but as a chocolate bar was stuffed into her mouth; that was a difficult thing to do.
"Don't talk when your mouth's full." Luna smirked back.
However, our laughter came to a halt when I heard something clicked. Similar to that of a gun's hammer being cocked.
"Nathan, get over here. Now." Jenny said sternly while aiming a small-frame revolver towards the Princesses. How in St Peter's name could she had a gun with her?! How the hell could I missed this last night? Oh but you know what, fucking forget it.
I must deal with this situation, fast.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted as I approached her carefully.
"I am protecting you dumbass!" She exclaimed, still holding my new friends at gunpoint.
"They are not dangerous, in fact Celestia here used her magic to help you last night!" I retorted while pointing at the pure white alicorn princess "Now put the gun down."
"They are not messing with your head aren't they?" Jenny asked.
"We will not do such a thing!" The Princesses exclaimed simultaneously.
"There, you see? I am normal." I told her.
"Prove it." Jenny said.
"You are a bitch." I said simply.
"Ookay." she said while putting the gun down and un-cocked it. After Jenny apologized to the Princesses, I introduced them to each other and started explaining how they got to my backyard. Jenny got along with the ponies quickly, but she seemed to have the most chemistry to Cadance.
Came to think of it, Jenny once had an older sister named Jessica but she passed away due to gang violence. The two were inseparable and Jenny was broken when her older sister died. But as time went by and with great support from her family and friends, she moved on. But this event traumatized her greatly; which made her fiercely protective to those she loved.
Jessica and Cadance are very similar in almost every way. Maybe Jenny saw the great resemblance.
"Actually, there is one thing I did not tell you." Celestia said
"What's that?" I asked.
"How we got here." She replied.
"Oh, yeah." I replied.
"Go on then." Jenny said "please tell us."
"Well, it started out like this..." Celestia began.
It was a regular day at Canterlot Castle; guards were guarding their posts, castle maids were tending to the castle grounds...the daily routines. However, in the castle's throne room; something else was quite out of the ordinary. Discord, the reformed Spirit of Chaos was present at the throne room alongside Princesses Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight. With them, were also the element bearers and Prince Shining Armor with a platoon of guards under his command.
The Princesses had requested Discord's presence due to his knowledge in ancient magic of imbued-healing; in other words, turning a regular everyday object; such as a stone into a healing item. Despite this, Discord requested gemstones to be the vessels for his magic. For the esthetics he said. If this experiment succeeded, the Princesses planned to send the stones to Gryphonia in order to aid the some of disease-struck Griffins living in remote places there.
"A little to the left!" Discord signaled the Main Six as they moved the gemstones around the room.
"So tasty..." Spike muttered with his saliva dripping to the floor.
"Calm down my little dragon, you will have your share." Discord said "alright, that will do." He signaled the ponies.
"This better work D." Rainbow said as she hovered back to Shining Armor's position with her friends in tow; save for Twilight, who remained with the Princesses to help channel and contain Discord's powers in case things went wrong.
"Alright. Ready when you are." Twilight said.
Discord nodded and shot out a spectrum of lights with his fingertips at the stones. Seeing this, the Primcesses also concentrated their magics on the stones.
"Whoa! Sparky!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed while bouncing up and down.
Suddenly, Discord's magic fused together with the Princesses'. Creating a large white explosion thought the room; causing everypony to cover their eyes. As the light disappeared everything seemed normal, the stones were imbued, but the Princesses were no longer there.
"Uh-oh..." Discord said nervously as all eyes fell on him.
"And that's how we got here." Celestia concluded "Even with our magics, we can't open our own way home. It have to be Discord and the rest of the Elements to do it for us."
"So I guess, until then... We are stuck here." Luna frowned.
Me and Jenny were lost for words, we just stared at each other before regaining our composure to continue the conversation. Draconequus. Imbued stones. pony guards. Magic...our mind was F-ing blown.
"I know it's hard, to leave your home and friends behind." I said trying to break the ice "But what happened, happened. And I assure you, you girls can stay here for as long as you like."
"You really mean that?" Twilight asked with an excited tone.
"Of course I do." I replied "Right Jen?"
"Yeah! Totally!" Jenny replied.
Before we knew it, the Princesses tackled us to the ground; hugging and nuzzling us, thanking us repeatedly. The Princesses smelled really good, as if they got every scent of good-smelling flowers in the world. Maybe they used perfumes after taking their showers yesterday, but strangely I never had any kind of those perfumes. After five minutes, they pulled off.
"Alright, now that's over." I said trying to act as casual as possible "why don't you girls go and take your showers while me and Jenny sort things out down here."
"Okay!" The girls said before trotting up the stairs.
Once I've heard the bathroom door being shut and locked, I turned towards Jenny.
"Now what?" She asked me.
"We prepare breakfast?" I suggested "Let's start with something healthy. How about oats and milk?" Jenny smiled in approval and went with me to the kitchen.
"At least power's back online." I said as my emergency lights were switched off and the lights were turned on. I immediately went to shut down all unnecessary electronic devices.
"So...I guess it's safe to say that you've been experiencing quite a vacation without me." Jenny said as we began to prepare the oatmeal. A large bag of oats and a large pack of powdered chocolate milk.
"Yep." I replied "So tell me, how does a girl who refuses to play Call of Duty actually has a taste for guns?"
"My dad gave it to me." she replied "You know, since Jessica..."
"Oh yeah...shit, I am sorry Jen." I said.
"That's alright Nate." she smiled "By the way, I haven't thanked you for helping me out last night." She said.
"Please that's what friends are--" I was cut off when she landed a kiss on my cheek. She pulled away and smiled teasingly "okay, that will do." I chuckled as I heated up a pot of water.
"So, what do you think about the Princesses?" I asked.
"Cadance is definitely the best, Twilight would be friends with Mike in no time, Celestia is our mother figure, and Luna...well, she definitely likes you." Jenny stated.
"So, I am having a royal crush now?" I smirked as I poured the boiling pot of water into the bowls.
"You wish." Jenny smirked back as wee took the bowls to the table "By the way--"
She was cut off by the ringing of my phone.
"It's Mike." I said as I answered the call.
"Meet me outside." Mike said before hanging up the phone.
"So, what did he say?" Jenny asked.
"He wants us to meet him outside." I told her "let's go."
As we exited the front door, we saw Mike holding a medium sized brown folder before telling us to go with him to his house.
"So, what's this fuss is all about?" Jenny asked as I closed the door behind us.
"Go through those papers." Mike said "I know everything."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Your guests...that's right, the alicorns" He replied "Don't worry, I am keeping my mouth shut. On one condition..."
"Name your price." I said.
"Introduce me to the herd!" Mike said out loud.
Me and Jenny exchanged glances at each other before nodding "Alright, if you can keep that dick in your pants--"
"Alright! Wonderful!" He cheered before I could even finish my sentence "Now, let's begin the lesson..."
Then, Mike started his explanation. After explaining everything he knew about Equestria and its residents; a sudden revelation struck me like a bolt of lightning. Now I realized that the Princesses actually came from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic TV show, my sister kept on insisting me to watch the show; but I kept declining it due to various reasons. But primarily because I thought the show was built primarily for children and girls. As a result I knew almost nothing about the show.
"So let me get this straight..." I said "Our new friends...basically jumped out from a cartoon?"
"And basically we created them?" Jenny added.
"Yes and yes." Mike said "you two will be Jedi masters in no time."
"Well I'll be damned." I said "I guess that multiverse theory seems legit."
"We have to tell them...sooner or later, without freaking them out." Jenny sighed "somehow..."
"We will think about that later, right now we have to go back." I said "Mike, keep your distance while we talk to the Princesses." I said as me and Jenny walked out from his door.
"You got it boss." Mike said.
"I am gonna go and take what I need back at my house." Jenny said "See you later Nate." I nodded and she walked away. Once she entered her house, I turned back to Mike.
"Oh, one more thing; how did you--"
"Find out about the Princesses?" He cut me off "Well, I was standing outside when that explosion happened."
"Oh...right." I said, rubbing my chin.
"Well, don't you get Princesses to care for?" Mike asked while gesturing towards my house.
"Yeah, I better head back." I said while turning back "And Mike..."
"Yeah?"
"Thank you." I smiled.
"No problem dude, just remember our deal." Mike said with a shit eating grin. I nodded and jogged back to my house.
"There you are!" Cadance said as she and the rest of the Princesses were seating at the dining table, eating their oatmeals. All princesses seemed to have cheery expressions, but Celestia seemed a little bit upset.
"Hey." I greeted them as I joined them.
"Where's Jenny?" Twilight asked after she swallowed.
"She's at her house, she will be back soon." I said as scooped some oatmeal with my spoon before eating it.
"Ah, I see." Luna said "So, can we use the PS4 after this?"
"Sure, power's back online and I know all of you are dying to play, so go ahead!" I smiled.
Twilight, Luna, and Cadance smiled beautifuly; but Celestia only gave a weak smile. Just as I said that Jenny came in and joined us, sitting next to me. She was a white sports T-shirt and black training pants with white highlights along the feet. We quickly finished our meals, let Janet out from her cage, wrap things up downstairs before heading up to the second floor.
"Alright, I am gonna go and wash myself up." I said "Jen, why don't you show them the tutorial first?"
"Yes sir!" she said enthusiastically, saluting "They will be experts in no time."
"Now get moving!" I said, returning her salute. I took my bath and put on my clothes as quickly as I can because I was too damn excited to see how the Princesses and Jenny were working things out; but as I stepped out from my bathroom. The phone rang.
"Hunt."
"Nathan?" A somewhat familiar feminine voice with a thick British accent said from the other side. I might know this person but who was she? Then to avoid a possibly awkward conversation, I took the formalities.
"I am sorry, to whom am I speaking?"
"Wha-? You don't remember me? It's me, Valery Hartman!"
And those memories hit me like a speeding bullet train...
"Oh Jesus, I am so sorry Val. It has been waaay too long, how are you?"
"You are never going to change don't you Nate." Valery chuckled "I am fine, thank you."
"It's good to hear that. Anyway what's going on?"
"I just arrived in town, lets meet up today!" she said enthusiastically "Its been so long since we hang out together."
Oh how I wanted to see her. Remember when I first told you I never had any affairs back in high-school? Well, I lied. You'll see later. But despite that intense urge, I knew there were more important things to do at the moment.
"I am so sorry Val, I am kinda busy right now. Um, maybe you can come over tomorrow?"
What the shit did I just say?
"Er, me and Jenny could also meet you downtown." I added.
Please pick the alternative.
"Nope! Lets meet at your place!" she chirped.
Well shit.
"Ookay, tomorrow at lunch then. I will cook something nice!" I said. But my inner self kept on saying: "Wtf wtf wtf wtf?!"
"Okay, I will see you tomorrow then. Bye!" she said before hanging up the phone.
I immediately hung the phone up and started breathing in and out. Just like they said, in...out...in...out.
"Hey Nate, they are playing Witcher 3--hey, what's going on? You okay?" Jenny asked as she stepped out from my gaming room, closing the door behind her.
"Define okay." I told her "Remember Valery Hartman?"
"Of course! How can I forget her? That British girl, your first GF right?"
"Well, she is here in San Francisco and will be coming over tomorrow." I told her.
"Oh really? That's great!" Jenny chirped "I miss her so much, we have a lot of things to talk about and--" she was silenced when I stared into her eyes, getting my meaning.
"Oh right. The princesses."
"Exactly...we must come up with a plan soon. Don't want wrong outsiders to know about 'em."
"Don't worry, we will sort this out; like we always do." Jenny said calmly. I smiled. "Hey, you might wanna check on Celestia...she said she needs time before comin' to play with us. She is kinda...upset."
"Okay, I will check on her. You go and play with them okay? I will be there in a sec." I told her. Jenny nodded and once again she entered the gaming room.
I walked to the guest room and knocked the door.
No response.
I waited for a bit, before knocking again. But still, no response.
"Celestia?" I called her name as I slowly opened the door, when the door was completely opened I saw Celestia standing before the two windows the bedroom has, facing away from the door. Seemingly in a deep thought.
Luckily the guest room was built at the back portion of the second floor, with windows facing to my backyard. And thus, giving us more privacy.
Basking in afternoon sun's golden rays, she appeared more majestic and celestial than before. Seeing this scene alone was enough to send shivers down my spine, not of fear; but of admiration.
Fragrant scent of flowers entered my nostrils as I approached her. The bedroom was in a very clean and tidy state, frankly I was surprised that they were able to maintain the room exceeding my family's standard.
"Tell me Nate, have you ever been in a position where you feel so powerless that all you can do is watch?" Celestia asked with an enigmatic tone.
"Yeah...I've been there." I told her as I walked to her side "Every leader and older sibling have been there." It was then when I realized that tears have accumulated on her eyes. Before I could react, she stood on her hind legs and locked her front legs behind my neck before crying on my chest.
I returned her hug and began stroking her multicolored ethereal mane "Hey, its okay...its okay." I whispered softly.
"I-I-I am v-very w-w-worried about m-my s-subjects Nate! I-I s-shouldn't h-have l-let him d-do i-it!" she said while letting all of her emotions out. Powerful waves of emotion crashed onto me like I've never felt before, I wasn't able to say a word to her as I was also swept away by her emotions.
Minutes later, when she managed to calm down until there was nothing but sobs I finally regained my composure to speak.
"Look, I wish I have an answer for you. But this is a problem beyond human understanding, we do not have any means of getting you back to Equestria." I said as I stroke her mane "Sometimes, there is nothing we can do but to watch and wait. It's not your fault or Discord's fault. In life, accidents happen and we can't expect everything to go as planned. Besides, look at the bright side; because of this accident you have a brand new world to explore!" I said trying to cheer her up.
"Are you always this optimistic, Nathan Hunt?" Celestia said with a small smile on her face, her eyes were red due to the tears but they were lively.
"Um, only on Thursdays or when there is a pretty lady involved. Or a pretty princess in your case." I smirked as I wiped away her tears "Now you go get some rest, okay? Crying like that must have drained you."
Celestia smiled and got on the bed as I walked towards the door, but before I managed to leave the room...
"Nate? Do you mind if you um...lie with me for a while?" Celestia asked.
"Whoa, this escalated quickly. Maybe it's time...." I thought with amusement. But again I shrugged those thoughts aside.
I got on the bed and lied beside her...but to my surprise, she rolled over to me and kissed my cheek before snuggling her head to my chest. I also wrapped my arms around her; we were practically cuddling.
Soon, she dozed off and fell asleep.
I decided to stay there for a little while longer as I hate to ruin this perfectly comfortable sensation but I knew I gotta check on Jenny and the rest of the Princesses. Carefully, I took my arms off her and gently lifting her head before putting a pillow underneath. I walked to the door and carefully opened it only to be greeted by Jenny and the rest of the Princesses with nasty smiles plastered on their faces.
Great...more explaining to do.
You have earned a trophy!
