> Low Cadence Under The Twilight > by LILDASHIEGRINGO > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > New Beginnings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before I was given the same privileges as Celestia and Luna, I was still learning on my purpose of what I'm supposed to do as a princess. At 17, I didn't exactly had it all figured out. I still had to learn everything I could about what my future position could hold, even if it didn’t involve my actual specialty. Many days had passed since my teachings ended for a well needed break. I wouldn’t go back into it for the next couple of months, so I had to figure out what I was going to do with the spare time in my hands, something that would include my passion to put on my resume for who I am: The Princess of Love. So, I became a caregiver for foals and fillies. The job was easy and… not so much. I really had to learn patience when taking care of the little ones. But, I loved to see those cute faces of theirs always happy. It made me feel happy that I was doing something good for them and for their parents, even when sometimes it could've been deadly for me. I still remembered taking care of three little fillies, and while we were doing our playtime, one of them threw a broken metal wheel from their bed and threw it behind me, barely missing my head and hitting the wall. That colt had the cutest wittle face before I scolded him. Good times. After doing this for a while, I had the opportunity to meet Shining Armor's family, the family that made me who I am today. Just to give you a small background of them, the parents are named Twilight Velvet and Nightlight. Both are bestselling writers on the market for a variety of fantasy books. Twilight Sparkle is their daughter and currently The Princess of Friendship. Many ponies know her for her noticeable accolades: saving Equestria millions of times with her friends, overturning villains and converting them to good. You can't even make a list for what she's done so far and what she continues to do. She's one of my favorite ponies… And then there's my Shining Armor. A lot of words can describe for what he is, and I just can't come up with the best one. He's a soldier, mighty and strong. He's loving, soft and sweet. And sometimes can be a mystery when stirring the pot. Like, he's so 'experimental’ with what he does and I find it so hot. His parents got me closer to him than I ever thought I could my own way. And it happened way before we became a couple. So, while I was seeing success after a couple months of my caregiving services, I got a mailed in message to my corridor in the castle. It had its own unique touch to it by being in a red envelope with a small gold star stamp on it to keep it closed, unlike the more generic whites.The sender was Twilight Velvet, telling me about her needs at home with both her and Nightlight being away more often than usual, offering a job for me to be their housekeeper. Being a housekeeper requires me to stay at their home and tend to the usual chores: wash the dishes, clean the living room. Basically make everything look proper and homey before coming home with stress from work. This can sometimes also include helping anyone else in the household, being pets or offsprings… I accepted the job because of Twilight Sparkle. She was always my favorite little fillie when she was young and full of energy. I spent most of my time with her and her brother whenever they came to the castle. Twilight would learn with Celestia on the top of the tower in her study hall, but will often get the chance at seeing me in the gardens. Sometimes she'll jump on my back and cling on me for attention, or I catch her and hoist her up in the air with her bright smile filling my day. We even had a little small jingle and dance for our greets. Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake Move your hooves and do a little shake! Can you believe that after all these years, we still do that? Anyway, when I accepted this I went over to their home and met them both while Shining and Twilight were away at school. They were around their mid thirties, experienced but still full of energy like if they were in their twenties again. Even while having two kids and stressful jobs, they had some very leveled heads in my opinion. They are one of the nicest couples I've met in that time. Seriously, parents can be strict on these types of things involving their homes because they know how big of a responsibility it is for something they are paying for, continuously until the debt is paid. They even allowed me to rummage their fridge. I never did, but that was an awesome gesture. I'm guessing it's because I'm a princess, but who knows. They must've taken the 'ponies gotta eat’ literally. The home was spacious and grand. Everything seemed to match anything of the family colors. The leather couch was purple. The kitchen was mainly black with silver appliances. The walls were mostly white and had designs of spades… ace of spades. Sorry, I had to remember. They weren't everywhere to the naked eye to notice, just mainly in their own room. I can't believe that almost passed by me. I'm so terrible. Anyway, since they knew I knew Twilight and that she liked me most than other ponies, they were comfortable with somepony they knew they could trust. I am the element of love after all. It just came natural to give everything with compassion and integrity. Basically, treat ponies the way I want to be treated myself… Not like a baby if you had any ideas. I only had to stay four days a week from morning to evening and that's what I did. This went on for four months. My birthday had passed within that time, being a legally aged mare. I got the opportunity to do my biggest fantasy: to watch an R rated movie at the theater. It was the best experience I had. Yeah, sex is cool. But showing your ID to the ticket master and watching them print and hand the tickets to you? That's orgasm. What was even better? I took Shining Armor with me without Nightlight and Velvet knowing. I knew he wanted to see it badly and I was feeling very generous. You could call it a date persce. I called it the 'thrill of the ride’. Time passes and the family considered me as one of their own by that point. For training purposes, Twilight was going to stay with Princess Celestia for a few days. Shining armor signed up for Royal ROTC and immediately went to military school for a few weeks, to my disappointment. I was beginning to warm up to him too. Once they were gone, I had the house to myself and I've gotten pretty comfortable with the house. But I found too much of it than I thought. You see, being in a position that causes most stress can be exhausting, even if I'm getting paid for it. I'm taking over the parent's struggle to better convenience them and in sacrifice, filling my body full of tension. The couch was always a good place to venture, and Shining Armor's room was full of surprises (don't tell him I did that.) But, the dryer was better than them both combined. And that's where I got caught... It was going downhill for this princess…
