//------------------------------// // Boxer meets Celestia and Luna // Story: Friendship: a new type of animalism. // by MetalBrony823 //------------------------------// Boxer and Benjamin were just taking a little stroll down the town of Ponyville. Benjamin wanted to give Boxer of the town so that his wolf comrade could feel more comfortable than before, and so far, all the residents seem to really like Boxer a great deal, all of the, waving hello to Boxer and saying hello to him kindly. Boxer also was starting to like the residents as much too, and smiled as he became more and more comfortable seeing everypony in Ponyville warming up to the gentle giant from another world. "See, I told you that they would really war, up to you." Said Benjamin. "Indeed, but, I wonder." Boxer said. "Before I got sent to that wretched glue factory, you always sounded and acted so... So..." "Cynical. I know." Benjamin replied before he gave a sigh. "Right. Not that I am not happy that you are, it was just out of curiosity," "I know. It was Pinkie Pie that I had to thank. She could turn any frown upside-down on many faces of creature if you understand me?" "How did she do it?" Boxer asked "Well, she threw a little..... soiree just for me, and I has the chance to participate in some silly, foolish, but fun games she prepared for. Finally, I could see clearly for the first time in my life, and it gave me a whole new outlook upon it." Boxer was a little speechless, and kind of hard to believe that old Ben's words were really true or not. Of course, he noticed that Benjamin never told a lie, and he has kept it that way ever since the day they both met for the first time in their lives. "Well, i see that your words must be true, my old friend." Boxer replied. "Good. Sooooo.... how about you and me look at the farmers market in the middle of town" Benjamin suggested. "Sure, why not?" They both walked and went to the line of an apple stand in front of it. The line was already getting shorter every few seconds, unlike many humans waiting for some food in their homeworld. When they finally reached the front, Applejack was the one who was running the stall. "Oh, Boxer, Benjamin, hello again. What can I do you both for?" She said kindly "Just two apples for me, and three for my comrade." "Hold it." Boxer said. "Make it six apples, please." "Sure, coming right up." Said Applejack. She pulled out a small bag of apples for Benjamin, and then a small basket of apples fo Boxer "Do we have to pay you for this?" Boxer asked "Oh no. They are free with no charge." Applejack replied. The large shire smiled "oh, well thank you, Applejack." "What are new friends for, partner?" "Enjoy your day." Benjamin said as he and a Boxer were walking somewhere else to another destination. "Take care, y'all." Applejack called to them in response. Then she resumed her apple selling duties in the market, helping as much customers as there are. "You know, Ben? Applejack and her family kind of remind me of.... of...." "Southern Americans in the United States?" Benjamin answered for him." "Yeah that's the one. They do remind me of them." Said Boxer. "Not that I have any problems with Americans, it was just out of curiosity." "I know, I didn't say that you did, comrade." Benjamin replied. They both kept walking around Ponyville. Suddenly, Boxer noticed a mare that zebra that he just met in the barn earlier. By the looks of it, she was looking around for any supplies for herself. "Oy, Benjamin. It's that zebra that I saw in the barn earlier today when I reunited with the others." Boxer pointed out. The donkey looked at where his best friend was looking at. "Oh yes. Zecora. She is also very nice like the rest of the inhabitants in this world. You can go and talk to her if you like, comrade." "Good idea." Boxer walked over to the stand that Zecora and decided that he does want to have a little talk with her. "Ah, Boxer. It is once again good to see you. How do you do?" Zecora said "Doing just fine, thank you. Now, Zecora, right?" "Of course, and I have heard you are quite the gentle giant horse." Zecora replied happily "Oh I flush." Boxer said bashfuly. "I know that we have already met before back on that barn, but I would like to say that it is nice to meet you." "Hahaha." She chuckled. "No need to worry, for I can sense a really good true story. It is really happy for us to see you are not dead, before you came here, that's what the others said." Boxer smiled. "I know. Thank you, Zecora." Zecora smiled back at him. "Ah, Benjamin, hello to you too, how do you do?" Zecora said, noticing Benjamin walking over to the two "Hello, Zecora. I am doing.... Fairly well, and it is a nice weather we are having, even though it is snowing outside." "Even though this kind of weather can cause many ponies to shiver, I for one, am perfectly fine with this beautiful weather." "I couldn't agree more." Benjamin replied "So, Benjamin told me you are a potions mixer?" Boxer asked her. "That I am. I create as much potions for if I want to, or if somepony needs it as much as I can." "Intriguing. Where do you live?" "I live in the Everfree Forest. A place on the outskirts of this town, but I should warn you, it can be quite dangerous for anypony to be around." "How do you even survive there?" Boxer asked surprisingly. "Even though you should hear words to stay away, I assure I a, perfectly okay." Zecora replied to him proudly "She knows how to survive, Boxer." Benjamin said. "I can see that. Well, it was nice to meet you again, Zecora. Have a nice day." Boxer complimented. "A good day to you too, Boxer, and I hope that Benjamin will still be your little helper." Zecora remarked. "See ya." Benjamin said before he and Boxer went off somewhere else. "She is quite an intriguing zebra if you would ask me." "I concur." As they continued walking down the dirt road, they both stopped and noticed to little orbs of light that were getting bigger, and then, when they reached their growing limits, they poofed into a blinding light. There was Pincess Celestia and Luna. "Your majesties." Benjamin said before bowing to them in respect. "My sincere apologies. I didn't see you there." "It's alright, Benjamin." Said Celestia. "We came here to see Boxer and introduced ourselves to him." Luna replied "I hate to interrupt, but, who might you be?" Boxer asked them "Our sincere apologies, Boxer, but Twilight has written a letter to me and my sister that you survived the glue factory, and that you're still alive." Celestia answered "Aye. But, I would rather prefer if I didn't talk about it. It was a very..... Terrible and not so great time I had." "I understand. So, about our names: my name is Princess Celestia, the co-ruler of Equestria, and the guardian of the sun." "And I am Princess Luna. I rule with my sister. Unlike her, I take care of the moon as its guardian, and protector." "Princess? Two? What am I doing?" Boxer immediately bowed himself to show them respect for hi little so called disrespect. Celestia chuckled and said "it's alright, Boxer. You don't have to be so formal to us. We are perfectly alright if you wish not to bow." "Oh. Thank you." Boxer than went back up, not bowing anymore. His height was as equal to Princess Celestia, except that he had a bulkier body than her of course. "Snowball and Jessie told us many great things about you, Boxer. How you are such a kind, hard working stallion who is not afraid to help others in need." Luna pointed out to him. "Oh well, I do what I can to help, and work harder for the better." Boxer replied modestly. "We would just like to say how proud we are of you, and how you can come around anyone in need." Said Celestia. "Thank you." Boxer replied. "You're welcome, Boxer. I hope you enjoy your stay here on Equestria." Said the larger princess "I will." "Oh i forgot to ask, did you find any way how we can go back home, your majesties? Benjamin asked them eagerly "Well, we almost have something to do the trick, but, it might take a little longer. Just be patient, Benjamin. We are doing all we could." Said Luna "Yes, my sister speaks correct. Patience is the key for it." Benjamin had his spirit a little low, but decided to just live with it since he does not have magic like Celestia or Luna do. They were not wrong, some things DO require patience and peecision, for he knows that he cannot rush time. "Very well your majesties." He said to them. "I really do not want to rush you, I just want to see if we can get back home." "We undeestand." Celestia said softly to them. "We're doing all we can to help you and the others with that problem." "I know." "Well, we better get going." Said Luna. "Ondeed, we both have royal duties to fulfill as rulers of Equestria." Celestia added. "It was nice meeting you." Boxer said kindly to them. "It was nice to meet you too, Boxer." Celestia replied to him. "See you both soon." Then she and her younger sister poofed in a magical glob of light again, and vanished into thin air. Boxer and Benjamin continued walking side by side together after that. "So where do we go next?" Asked Boxer "Hmmmmmmmm. Oh! I know, how about I take you to Twilight Sparkle's castle next." Benjamin suggested. "I'll go wherever you go." Boxer replied to him, then they walked to the newest castle in Ponyville.
