Chapter 3: The Meeting Part 2
Shining Armor was nervous. Not the usual nervousness that one feels when they're the center of attention, but the type of nervousness one gets when they just know something bad is about to happen. He tried his best to remain calm, but it took almost all of his willpower not to crack down like he did when he was beginning his training in the Royal Guard. Taking a few deep breathes, he enveloped the door in his magic, only to feel a white hoof tap him on the horn. Snapped out of his thoughts, he followed the white hoof to the smirking alicorn.
"Shining, what are you doing?" Celestia asked, tilting her head slightly to the left.
"Opening the door, your highness." Shining stated matter of factually.
"Oh no you're not. Amethyst will get the honor of opening that door. So could you be a dear and get her for me?" Celestia snickered. Shining stood there for a moment before finally getting the hint.
"Oh. OH! Oh..." Shining exhaled before finding a dark corner. Using the same gender spell he used last time, he changed back into his female form. Amethyst walked out of the shadows as casually as she could, hoping that no one saw the light from the transformation spell.
Celestia watched Amethyst like a predator. That's when she got another devilish idea, one that would make her day all the better.
"Amethyst, could you come a little closer, please?" Celestia cooed. Amethyst cried as hard as she could in her mind, finding it horrifying at how much power Celestia had. Sure, she was the Princess of the sun, but that didn't excuse her actions against her own people for amusement!
She opened the door, only to be greeted by a hall full of more ribbons and decor than what was at her wedding. There was even a dressing room at the end of it that could fit almost 3 stallions! She observed the area in awe, taking in the beauty of the hall, before being alerted to a white and purple pony in front of her. This pony looked absolutely gorgeous in her red stylish glasses. Amethyst couldn't help but stare at her, that is until she coughed into her hoof to get her attention. Snapping out of her stupor, she blushed slightly as she sheepishly smiled. They sat there for a couple moments before they sensed another presence in the hall with them.
"I see you two have already met?" Celestia asked, putting on her smile. Amethyst nearly jumped at her voice, while Rarity trotted to her.
"Yes, everything's going quite well Princess. Might I say it is a great pleasure and honor to do this for you." She spoke in her noble voice. Amethyst cringed at this, for she had heard that voice far too many times, and it just annoyed her to no end!
"No, thank you Rarity for taking this request out of your work schedule. I greatly appreciate it. Especially from one of the elements." Celestia stated formally.
'Wait, did she say elements? As in the elements of harmony? So she's one of Twilight's friends. I think it's all coming back to me...' Amethyst thought as she eyed the element bearer and the Princess talking to each other. Occasionally, she would catch Rarity casting glances at her and shaking her head, and for a second, Amethyst felt that nervousness come back ten-fold. She couldn't help but shiver as Rarity and Celestia stopped talking and headed back towards her.
Celestia paused and looked at Amethyst with a puzzled look."Amethyst, are you alright?" Concern hidden in her voice.
Rarity's eyes looked like they literally sparkled, but Amethyst pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind.
"So this mysterious pony's name is Amethyst, correct? What a beautiful name!" Rarity praised. She batted her eyes for a couple seconds before turning back to Celestia.
"So what type of event is this for anyway? You never actually told me." She asked, looking quizzically at Celestia.
"Oh just something on a formal level. She is the guest of honor, after all. Wouldn't you like that, Amethyst?" Celestia asked, staring intently at her.
Amethyst felt a drop of sweat fall from her face, before she yielded.
"Fine, it doesn't look like like I have a choice, anyway." She mumbled under her breath, scowling slightly before trotting over to the dressing room at the end of the hall. She waited for Rarity to come over to take her measurements, (no matter how uncomfortable it still felt to be stared at all over), she couldn't help but blush at the thought of a bunch of seamstresses ogling her body. She was snapped out of her daydream as Rarity entered the dressing room, seamstress, glasses and all.
"Okay darling are you ready to get started? I'm going to need you to hold still for a teeny tiny second, okay? It won't take any longer than it has to be." She assured her.
Amethyst was quite impressed with Rarity's skills. She worked like lightning and had the balance, posture, and grace that could put any royal to shame! Amethyst just stared in awe at her work, but alas, all good things must come to an end. Rarity finished her measurements and trotted over to the sewing machine in the back room. Probably magically teleported there by Celestia for her master plan.
An hour later, and Rarity was done. The dress was made of some type of gold silk lining and the main color was a mixture of blue and violet, and they were mixing in the middle, like when magic envelopes an object. It even had her cutie mark! To say the dress was flamboyant and gorgeous would be an insult to the absolute beauty and creativity sewn into its very being. It almost looked like it was made by a goddess instead of a pony. Amethyst's mouth hung open, only to be quickly shut by Celestia.
"Manners, Shining. Manners." She harshly whispered in her ear. Amethyst stood up straight and complemented Rarity on her fine piece of work. Gaining a blush and a wave of a hoof, Amethyst took the dress, bid Rarity farewell, and headed back to the carriage, followed by Celestia, who still wanted to mess with her.
"Amethyst, I've been thinking, and I've decided I might let you off the hook." Celestia stated. Looking directly into Celestia's eyes, Amethyst gave her a quizzical look. She noticed that Celestia was very serious. Amethyst almost jumped for joy, that is, until a single word left Celestia's mouth.
"Although, you would have to get through the meeting first, before I could truly let you off." She gave her a weird, distorted grin. It was enough to get Amethyst to stop and just stare at Celestia in disbelief.
As Celestia trotted towards the carriage, she could almost feel the magical energy gathering around Amethyst. She knew what was coming and covered her ears with her hooves.
With a loud and mighty yell, Amethyst screamed at the top of her lungs, matching that of Luna's Royal Voice. She could already tell her morning was going to get a whole lot worse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Send in the next pony please!" A royal guard called out. The giant golden doors of the morning court opened, allowing a small unicorn stallion in a black suit and red tie walk in. Celestia noticed that this stallion had no mane what-so-ever. This caused Celestia to raise an eyebrow at this pony, before quickly going back to her serene smile. She cast a quick glance towards amethyst, who wore a bored expression and was too busy daydreaming to really notice anything. Celestia giggled slightly, turning back towards the strange noble as he was stifling a cough.
"Good morning, your highness.I come before you to propose a business request. You see, I am a, how should I say, "Spokespony" for said company, and we need a certain amount of money and supplies that only you, dear princess, can supply. My company would be greatly honored if you would fund our project."
Celestia was dumbfounded by this ponies words. It had been centuries since she heard a pony speak so, elegantly, and it caught her off guard for a moment. She looked at the stallion in question and put a little juice in her thought gears.
'This pony has quite a silver tongue, but one with such a dangerous ability can be troublesome. I should ask what company he works for, never hurts to know a little bit of details now.' Celestia coaxed. She looked the stallion in the eyes, noticing how emotionless and cold his ocean blue eyes were. She stammered a bit before asking her question.
"I-If I am to supply you with the materials, may I at least get the name of said company and what benefits this company can do for Equestria?"
"My boss wishes this company to be referred to as "The Agency" and what this company will do is help with those who request it, at a certain cost of course." He spoke, showing no emotion or hesitance within his speech. Celestia was sure something was wrong, as she grew increasingly uneasy. One final thought came to mind as she was about to give her answer.
"I will grant your request, sir, but if I may be so inclined, can I get your name?" Celestia gulped with anticipation, gaining a few looks from her personal guard in front of her throne. The bald man in the black suit turned to her and, with a chilling smile, opened his mouth to speak.
"My colleagues call me Agent 47. I greatly appreciate her highness approving my company's request." And with that he strolled out the court room. Before the doors closed, Celestia caught a glimpse of a bar code on the back of the stallions head. She was sure she's seen that somewhere before, but couldn't put her hoof on it. She turned to Amethyst, who was still staring off into space, wearing the same bored expression. Celestia grew a devilish smile on her face before turning to her royal guard.
"Day court will be postponed for the rest of the afternoon. Please alert all guest to return once the sun has set, and inform then that my sister will be taking their requests," Celestia spoke with regal influence. The guards all left the room, leaving a smiling Celestia and an oblivious Amethyst alone. Celestia turned toward her plaything, before opening her mouth and taking in a deep breath. She counted down the seconds, inching ever closer towards Amethyst's ear. With a final stall, she yelled.
"AMETHYST! CADENCE WANTS TO KNOW WHICH PANTIES DO YOU PREFER!" Amethyst flew forward, screaming the whole way down before face planting and groaning with pain. She slowly stood up before turning towards Celestia with a bemused expression. Celestia laughed loudly before exclaiming that she pulled the best way to get someone's attention. Amethyst huffed and began to mumble something about Celestia, cake, and weight. Celestia, being the almighty sun Deity, turned to face Amethyst with an annoyed look, trotting toward her. Amethyst looked up before instantly regretting what she just said. Celestia bent down to her level and whispered in as motherly a tone as she could get.
"Amethyst, why don't we take a good long walk through the halls? I'm sure nopony would notice either of us. In fact, I highly doubt anyone would notice a pony missing inside this giant castle, hmm?" Celestia thought outloud. Amethyst quickly shook her head, making it look like multiple heads were appearing at once. Celestia put on a mock frown, before going back to her serene and motherly smile again. She quickly turned around and headed for one of the side doors leading outside. Amethyst looked puzzled and quickly regained her focus.
"Celestia, where are you going!?" Amethyst questioned, looking puzzled. Celestia turned her head and looked Amethyst dead in the eyes.
"Why to take a lively stroll through the town. After all, day court is over and I have a lot of free time." With that, she turned back towards the door, leaving behind a surprised Amethyst. Amethyst shook her head and ran for Celestia, yelling for her to wait for her. Little did they know a dark figure of a unicorn standing in the shadows, watching them as they strolled towards the town.

....encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-u2F2EWrAohmkA0q2qJS7qbGAr91rXA8P6_ID_uL7Jfe6DKgc4A ...I do not approve...Why didn't you call me to edit?
4181754 Because it's 3:40 am and I'm tired...?
I don't really approve of what Celestia is doing to Shining. Being found out would scare the ever living hell out of many crossdressers out there. Then to be paraded around while in femme also scares the person to because the person is constantly wondering if people or in this case ponies know who she really is.
I believe this is really messing with his mind man.
4181788 ...Ah...Well...I have my work cut out for me. I'll try to get it done.
Whelp..
Celestia's achieved bitch status.
You discover his(her) secret, then pressure her into being Amethyst just to gain amusement?
Playing with one's intimate feelings will have untold mental complications in the future. Now he may never be able to come out to Cadence for fear of a similar experience occurring. I think you've made Celestia too unforgiving and a little too trolly. She's endangering his mental health by treating him this way.
I wholeheartedly agree with 4181795 in that Celestia is crossing too many boundaries.
She needs a
nerfmorality check before this story can continue to show his troubles. It's quickly becoming a "torture-fic" in my eyes.~Dash The Stampede
I like how this story is going can't waite to read more of it.
..Ah shit. Hitstallion.
Celly, you best hope your immortality encompasses invulnerability.
Sorry about how long it took to update everypony, I have been dealing with my transition from male to female and Electric spark had writers block from hell. I will try to have chapter 4 up and going as soon as possible!
4185434 Pretty sure you don't live for over a millennia with out a knife in the dark or an arrow in the back here or there.
4199936 This isn't a normal hitstallion.
This is the pony Agent 47, a genetically enhanced stallion that has not ONCE failed in his missions. If his current mission is killing Princess Celestia..
4200023 Then he better hope that Celestia hasn't had over a thousand years of practice and wisdom, skill to put into use... Oh wait.
4200070 Did i forget to mention he was specially made to be perfect for his job?
Superior in both mind and body, without any moral restrictions short of not wanting to kill innocents until they get in his way.
4200132 Right... a job that He might not be able to Complete due to Celestia being Possibly Immortal/Possibly a god. The thing about assassins is that they have to be able to kill a target, and not have them brush it off like a bad hair day. I think that the agency is going to have some trouble explaining to accounting why they spent all this money on the ultimate assassin to kill an unkillable target.
4200151 Like i said, hope her immortality extends beyond mere age.
Otherwise, she will be badly injured in the best case scenario.
