Chapter 47: Job Interviews
It was on a surprisingly warm day in the early stages of winter, that the Newspapers released a story that caught the attention of both young and old Stallions.
"Prince Blueblood is hiring?" One of the readers of the Manehatten Gazette read out loud as he drank his morning tea.
"People with sufficient knowledge in Nautical Science or Mechanical Engineering are wanted?" Another Stallion read, putting down the screwdriver he was holding in his mouth.
"Interviews for a job that will take you across the ocean, expanding not only your cultural relevance but also the prosperity of Equestria?" A Filly read as she huddled inside the cardboard box she called her house.
"Sailing to the foreign nation of Caninia and opening trade routes between countries?" A Pegasus read from the newspaper as she deftly avoided the aerial obstacles of the big city.
"The Job includes a bed and breakfast, paid for by the crown itself for the duration of the job?" A Tall Griffon said out loud as she chewed her food with her mouth open, ignoring the stares of those around her.
"The pay is high?! That's enough for me!" A Unicorn said haughtily as she rummaged around in her caravan, "The Great and Powerful Trixie will definitely pay off her debt with this!"
"We're sorry, but we do not think you have what we are looking for," A Grey Unicorn with a Black Mane and a boring grey business suit said in the most boring voice he could muster, "You will receive a message should anything change, If you do not receive the message by the time the ship has sailed, you can confirm with yourself that you did not get the job," The Business-pony said before placing the paper he held into one of several piles that were slowly forming on his desk.
"I understand," The blonde Pegasus sighed dejectedly, scratched his stubble, and let his long aquamarine legs carry him out.
"Mr Turner, It says here that you already have a job, and a doctorate as well?" The Business-pony asked the next interviewee.
"Oh, em, I'm not a doctor, I didn't pass my doctorate exams, Doctor is my middle name," The brown Earth Pony said, fidgeting uncomfortably in his seat as the Unicorn stared down at him.
"Uh-huh..." The Business-pony nodded and moved the paper he held into the "Maybe" pile.
"I can fly very fast and can kick very strong," The Griffon said as she leaned back on the larger chair she took, picking at her beak with one of her talons, "What else do you need me to have?"
"Of course." The Unicorn nodded his head and placed her name in a pile titled "Guards"
"It says here you are a prized author and publisher of several Best Sellers, Why would you want to work as part of the shipping crew for this Job?" The Business-pony asked the rose-eyed Pegasus.
"I think spending a few weeks in such a job might help me find inspiration for my next Best Seller," The mare said, a leg swiping a tuft of grey hair from behind her red glasses.
"I see..." The Business-pony muttered and placed her name in a pile.
"I need the money," The Blue Unicorn told the Business-pony conducting the interviews, a sharp pointed hat nearly falling off her head as she bowed deeply to the Stallion.
"I didn't even ask you any of the questions," He told her, his voice conveying a hint of annoyance somehow without him changing his tone.
"You are a child, Please go home," The Business-pony told the small filly who sat on the interview chair.
"Okay," She smiled up at him and jumped up into the air, the flap of her tiny salmon-colored wings carrying her out of the room.
"...Why can't I just have a normal day?" The Business-pony says to himself when the young filly closes the door, a flash of Grey Light from his horn removing the Illusion of the boring Business-pony from his body, revealing the White Coat and Golden Mane underneath.
"Maybe it's because you're a prince?" A Mares voice sounded out from the room, a flash of blue light removing the Illusion of the vase near the window to reveal the Purple and Aquamarine Unicorn.
Blueblood sighed hearing that before turning to look at his friend and bodyguard, "How many of them do you think we will be hiring?" He asked her.
Starlight snorted at that question, an Aquamarine glow to her horn causing a translucent chair to appear under her, "Knowing your luck? All of them,"
Blueblood sighed at that, already tired from just thinking about how horrible the Caninia mission will go, especially with his luck.
"Including the little kid?" He asked Starlight, receiving a nod from her in return.
"Including the Filly somehow, yes," Starlight levitated other a newspaper, moving to the trivia section, "Anyways, what was the name of the King of Yaks during the Yak-Dragon war?" she asked from the trivia.
"We know the answer to that, we found his catacombs," Blueblood simply told her, receiving a nod from Starlight as she wrote down "King Tarkus IV"
In ten minutes, the illusions will return and the interviews will continue.
But that is a story for another time.
Omake: Cosmos and the Newly Acquired Power of Illusions.
"Hey," The one-armed decapitated head called out to the white Unicorn in her empty space of galaxies and Nebulae.
"Hey you," the Prince responded, eliciting a howl of laughter from the head.
"Hey Hey," Cosmos repeated, "Check this out!" And with a snap of her fingers, the empty nothingness of space around them twisted and changed shape, turning into a five-star hotel suite on a tropical beach.
"Now I can choose where we go!" Cosmos cheered, a wide smile on her face.
"Uh-huh," Blueblood simply nodded his head, a Martini in his hand as he laid back on a couch.
Cosmos looked at the prince, Her smile growing mischievous as she once again clicked her fingers.
Blueblood, hearing the click of fingers but not seeing any change in the scenery, decided to look to see what his Girlfriend (not-really(It's complicated)) was doing.
And instead of the usual decapitated head, he saw some sort of Chimera-looking creature, Her head and right arm were the same, but the rest of her body was new.
A new left arm mirrored the blue arm she already had.
She actually had a body now, resembling that of a cat, with three black stripes on her spine, covered by a small cape of green scales.
Her fluffy, cat-like back legs ended in dark-purple hooves, and where the purple cat-like tail ended, a blue scorpion tail took its place.
"So..." Cosmos asked, her back legs swinging back and forth above her head as she lay on her stomach, her head resting in her arms, "How do I look?"
Blueblood looked at her before smiling at her, "You look..." His smile widened as his Unicorn body turned to lay in front of her in the same way, "Like you managed to figure out some magic to change how this place looks,"
Cosmos smiled widely at the prince, "I do! I managed to learn that Illusion spell you always use, Now I can choose where to go for our honeymoon!"
The Prince smiled at her, "We need to be married to go on a honeymoon,"
"I know!" Cosmos said excitedly, "So in order to get ready, Do you want to go out with me?!"
Blueblood leaned forward and stole a kiss from her before moving his head away and standing up, making his way out to the tropical beach she made outside.
"No," He said with a cheeky smile on his face, ignoring the hungry looks from the Powerful Spirit that lives inside the gem.
"Hehe," She whispered with a laugh as she rubbed her lips with her hand, trying to feel where he kissed her
"Shut down yet again..."

I can recognize all but the first pegasus stallion:
Doctor Whooves aka Time Turner (i think)
Gilda
Trixie
A.K. Yearling (Daring Do)
Cozy Glow
I have to if he was going for love it looks like there are only 2 girls who might get his heart. Starlight and cosmos. The rest he barely pays attention to them.
11666336
Yep, It was easy to get them :)
The first one was Zephyr Breeze, who doesn't at all qualify for the job, but will be hired anyway because Comedy
11666336
Zeyphr Breeze AKA Fluttershy's brother I think.
Really hoping that BB pulls a "I want ALL of you, not just part of you" with Cosmos. Would make her day. Bonus points if Raven is up to making it a trio.
11666342
The only way a trio could feasibly work is If it's BB and Raven do it in the real world, and once they fall Asleep BB does it with Cosmos.
Seeing as She's trapped inside the gems and all.
But it could make a nice(hot) Rated-M Oneshot,
LOVE HER!
She's not going to be able to hold back for much longer
11666359
She's just such a 💅 VIBE ✨ sometimes
Trixie wtf!? lmao!!!
Aww, she was in a cardboard box. Maybe she needs a break.
Hooray!! This is going to be a fun crew. Gotta good feeling about it
…and Starlight might still end up with Trixie in this universe. Bonus. 
11666345
You did not say no to a "Would make her day" romance moment later~
11666337
I would add Raven as well. He did promise her a date.
11666439
I felt that was more of a business thing or him being nice than him liking her even slightly. He doesn't really seem to notice her that much.
11666340
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Breaking News, Prince BlueBlood adopted a Filly.
Breaking News, Princess Cozy Glow becomes Princess Cozy Glow, the Alicorn of Strategies.
Breaking News, Prince BlueBlood runs from his marriage and Princess Cozy Glow is saddened for the 3 mares he ran away from.
Breaking News, Princess Condensa dragged Prince BlueBlood back into the Wedding.
Already, let join Blueblood as he assembled his crew so he can be king of the pirates, oh wait sorry wrong story.
11666480
It is only pirates if he doesn't have state support...as he does it would be "King of the Privateers".
Time Turner is interesting, seeing that he mostly a bg character. Will he be setting up a bowling alley on board?
Cozy will be interesting to see where she will fit in this group of misfits.
Daring will probably be flying off to seek some hidden treasure artifact.
Trixie I wouldn't trust her with a firecracker. Or on a ship.
Gilda? being a smartass, as usual.
Zephyr Breeze. I note that WILL be fun, seeing how many times his rump will be kicked from each of the mares, and perhaps mostly from Daring Do, only to be friend-zoned by Cozy. (And he'd be perverted enough to try and romance the filly...)
11666471
Breaking news Prince Blueblood break wheelchair speed record as he flees from the mares that broke his pelvis.
That group is gonna cause a lot of shenanigans together. Loved the omake. I fear for his pelvis in the future once shes free though.
Cosmos is gonna explode if he ever says yes.
11666532
Sentence: Death... by Snu Snu
Trixie gonna Trixie this trip in some way. 100%
Ok so did the ship sail?
So she figured out how to do illusions in the dream. That's a very close step toward manifesting in the real world. Still think Blueblood should be able to figure out how to tandem-cast an illusion that mirrors her trapped self.
Interesting applicants.
11666634
The ship is being validation-tested at dry dock. Most everything is ready to go, but the rigging hasn't been tied up, provisions and fuel are stuck in transit, and a few project managers are dragging their hooves on important sign-offs.
It could be worse, at last there are no changelings in the ship... right?
I really, really love your version of Cosmos. I hope she doesn't revert to her "canon" self when she is assembled. Happy Cosmos makes me happy. I dread her turning into the spirit of malice.
11666888
Read up on Cosmos and I appreciate Applejack's idea for throwing the gems back into the sky was simply kicking them. And Discord never being bad was a wild twist.
11667130
I mean, Discord was never evil. But he was never good either. He didn't want to harm anyone, but he didn't want to help. He is chaos after all. No, Cosmos is Malice. She very much was evil and did want to harm EVERYONE.
Con este tema ya me imagino el desmadre que se armará XD
11666480
no no let's let you cook
Such a colourful cast for the next arc
Well, entertainment is covered.
That is a good point.

He goes out of his way to enjoy the mental and emotional suffering of others and repeats it's even when he's supposedly learnt his lesson (canonically even after the show finale). Yeah no canon Discord is evil. Their knockoff Q was a failure that everyone forgave only because of the actor.
This version of Cosmos really seems to love the MC.
11756984
she doesn't have the memories and has been alone all this time, the real problem will be when she recovers her memories, the conflicting feelings,
Cozy Glow?
Daring Do?
Looking forward for the ship adventure and the other shipping with his mare to be. This is going to be fun!
