//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Games away! // Story: A misunderstanding // by Element Reading //------------------------------// It is about 3 hours until dinner with Shining Armor and Cadence, Luna is off at a meeting about what they should do with the money, big fun, big fun. Not. That left Celestia and Anon alone in her room, Anon asks, "So Cele, got any video games?" Celestia replied, "I have Pony Fortress 2, it's easy to set up an account." "I have never heard of that, also first person, or in this case pony shooters aren't my thing." 1 trailer later: "I have to get that game, how much?!" Asked Anon "It's free to play, though custom items do cost money." He was already on the laptop he brought with him, because of the Celestia it has a battery with infinite charge. Now after he found the game and pushed install he read the install time, "3 years." All he could say was, "Really?" "It takes awhile, though it's worth it." "Like hell, got chess?" Asked Anon. Celestia thought for a minute until she got an idea, she walked over to her door and opened it, there were two guards outside it, she asked them. "Excuse me, but can one of you go check the storage room for the royal chess set?" One of them nodded and left. She closed the door and started to snicker. "Why are you about to laugh?" Asked Anon, Celestia walked over to the little closet and opened it, in it under some other games was the chess game she asked the guard to find. "That guard will search for hours to find it." Anon started to snicker too. After she put all the pieces of the game on the board he sat down on a cushion in front of black. Celestia with white. After about 25 turns Anon had little to no pieces, all he had were 2 pawns, a knight, and the king. Celestia crowded his king and said, "Checkmate." Anon's eye twitched a bit as he said, "I suck at this game, got Dungeons and dragons?" Celestia replied, "What is that?" He just stared at her for a second. "Okay we need to make you a character sheet." 4 hours later: "You come across a old wood chest with gold trimming, the room is made of old stone brick. One mistake would bring it down, what do you do?" Asked Anon. Celestia thinks for a second, "I will search for traps." Anon rolls the D20, "17, you find a wire trap, it is attached to a small pin which would of brought the ceiling down." Celestia had to think about what to do for a second. "I'll walk over the trap and search around the chest." Anon rolls the die, "It's a 6, you find nothing." Celestia was about to say something, but there came a knock at the door. "Come in," Celestia said. The door opened and Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Luna walked in. "Tia you didn't show up to dinner, we got curious to where you two were," said Luna. "Sorry sister, but Anon showed me this great game, and well, I guess time slipped by." Shining Armor asked, "Oh ya I remember this, we played this on guy night 3 weeks ago." Cadence asked, "How do you play?" Anon just gave her a big smirk. 4 hours later: "Okay Shining, you and Cadence walk into a bedroom, there is a single bed, the room is made out of gold and the floor quarts. Carved quarts, the sheets are silk, and the mattress will promise you the best sleep of you're lives. What do you do?" They looked at each other and replied in unison, "We get on the bed." Anon smirked. Luna asked, "What time is it?" Celestia replied, "1 am." Shining Armor asked, "Can we resume this quest next week?" Spoiler alert: Anon thinks for a second, "Of course dude, it's just a game, go home. Flurry Heart will be wanting to see you." End of spoiler: They got up with some groans and a back pop from Shining Armor. "Thanks Anon, we'll see you all next week," said Cadence. they stepped out of the room and closed the door. "Well I should go to bed and make sure to watch the dreams and fix the nightmares, good night you two." "Good night Luna, sleep well," said Anon. "Sleep well sister." She nodded and flew out of the room. Leaving Celestia and Anon there, "So, I should go to bed as well, I will not be able to get up before noon, so don't even try." "Is that a challenge?" Asked Celestia with a wide grin, Anon stepped back a bit. "Not tonight Cele, I just wanna sleep. Good night." "Good night." Anon walks out of the room as Celestia climbs onto her bed, she thinks, "I hope this ends soon.... I think I have an idea on how to do it!"
