> Kitty's a Long Way from Home. > by Ocelot the Devil > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Who let the Kitty Cat in!? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the ponies gasped when they saw the empty spot where Princess Celestia was supposed to appear. Nobody knew if this was a prank of hers or part of the celebration. Mayor Mare began to freak out. “Calm down! I’m sure that the Princess isn’t missing… this is probably just… p-part of the celebration!” She tried to calm the situation but was failing miserably. At least one was being amused by this whole situation, a certain earth pony with a pink mane. “Ooh, is the Princess hiding? If she is then she’s very good at playing the hide-and-seek game!” She told a certain lavender unicorn who was looking really worried. Just then, the earth pony gasped as a blue mist appeared in the room and surrounded the spot where the princess was supposed to appear. Soon, she appeared: Taller and more slender than every pony in the room, she wore a smooth lavender helmet from which a black Unicorn horn protruded from. On either side of the mare’s torso were dark wings, reminiscent to those of a Pegasus. On its flank was a splotch of purple, a crescent moon upon it. The pony’s mane and tail resembled a field of stars, flowing in a nonexistent wind. Around her neck was some sort of regal breastplate, bearing the same mark as on the flank. A cyan eye with a slit pupil gazed out upon the collection of ponies. “Oh, no… Nightmare Moon!” The unicorn whispered quietly as Nightmare Moon began to laugh. “I have returned once again, my faithful subjects!” She laughed in a regal tone. “What did you do to our princess!?” One of the ponies - a cyan pegasus yelled as she attempted to fly straight at Nightmare only to be held by her tail thanks to an orange earth pony with a Stetson hat. The Mare in the Moon became annoyed at how only her ‘sister’ was mentioned instead of her. “Hmph! Is my face not respectable enough for you? Does my crown not bring mention of me?” She asked them all. Instead of answering, they were shivering in fear except for the pink-colored pony. “Ooh! You’re the Dark Queen! The Misty Star!” She tried to guess. The first name made Nightmare chuckle. “A fitting name but not fully correct… did you not read the signs? Did you not read the legend?” She asked them all. “I did!” Someone spoke and the lavender unicorn stepped forward. “I know who you are! You’re the mare in the moon - Nightmare Moon!” She declared much to everyone’s surprise. Nightmare’s amused face morphed into one of amazement. “Ah, so it appears that you are aware of who I am… then you must know why I am here?” She asked. The lavender unicorn attempted to make a brave face. “You’re here… because… Ummm… well…” She was at a loss for words. Nightmare cackled evilly. “What a brave pony you are… but very foolish! Before I plunge the world that refused to cherish me into eternal night, I think I must teach everyone here a lesson in opposing me… I’ll start with you.” She decided and powered up her horn. The lavender mare gulped as she realized how outmatched she was right now against a powerful alicorn like Nightmare Moon. What was she going to use in order to escape? A teleportation spell? The spell was charged as Nightmare prepared to fire at the unicorn. “If it's any consolation, you’ll be with the princess soon!” She declared. Fortunately, the shot never came as a hole opened above them and someone fell from the other side. Said person had a light olive complexion while her long and wavy hair was colored black with her eyes being amber. She wore a black ribbon which was tied in the form of a bow along with black low-heeled boots and stocking that started black at her hips, but gradually faded to purple as they near her shoes. On the outside of the stocking there were white emblems along with black ribbons on both of her arms with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm. She had a black buttoned vest with coattails and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposed part of her midriff with white shorts complete with a zipper on the front of each leg, a detached scarf-like collar around her neck and gray magnetic plate strapped to her back. Every pony became confused at the arrival of this mysterious ape with black-colored hair.... especially the lavender unicorn and Nightmare Moon. “Ugh… in hindsight, I knew that I shouldn’t have trusted that fucking Merchant…” She paused for a moment before looking around and seeing rows of ponies overlooking her. “Oh, you’ve got to be shitting me…” The girl spoke with a tone of disbelief before she was interrupted by a stomp coming from Nightmare. “What is the meaning of this!? What kind of ape are you!?” Nightmare demanded as the girl flinched. “Jeez! Turn down the volume, horse!” The black-haired girl rubbed her ears and sent a look at Nightmare. She glared at her and fired a beam causing a small explosion that spread smoke all throughout the room. Every-pony coughed as the smoke cleared, revealing a crater, nothing of the mysterious creature remained. The lavender unicorn was in disbelief before she looked at Nightmare. “You killed her… how could you!?” She asked. The mare chuckled without a hint of remorse. “But of course! Nobody calls me a horse - especially the princess of the night!” She declared. “Princess of the night? You? Seems like you truly are a self-centered bitch.” A familiar voice called out and interrupted her little parade. The same black-haired girl that she thought that she killed was sitting on one of the balconies in Town Hall. “What!? But… how... You… DIE YOU WORM!” She launched another beam only for the girl to fade quickly and reappear behind her. Nightmare looked around. “Where did you go!?” She demanded before feeling a blade to her neck. “Move a muscle and I’ll put you down.” Nightmare and the rest were in disbelief. Who was this creature and what kind of powers did she possess!? The mare in the moon glared at her. “You will pay for this… I promise that the next time we meet, I won’t show you mercy!” She warned her before fading away. All of the ponies were confused at what just happened while the girl prepared to make her escape. Before she could move a muscle… “How’d you do that!? What type of powers did you use!?” The cyan pegasus got in front of her and started eying her suspiciously. This along with Nightmare Moon trying to kill her and appearing in a world filled with ponies really made her sigh heavily. “I really don’t have time for this.” She told her before fading away using those mysterious powers of hers. Silence filled the entire area which soon turned to confusion and panic. What in Celestia’s name just happened!? > Kitty finds her New Home... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It took everything in her entire being not to stop and curse at how much of a bitch fate was. The fact that she had turned into a complete copy of an anime-styled cat girl from a familiar TV series and dropped into a colorful wonderland filled with horses wasn’t exactly a common occurrence. Now she was just jumping from branch to branch in search of a nice secluded area to stop and gather her thoughts. Eventually, after jumping for nearly a couple of minutes she found a nice area in this mysterious forest. “That should be far enough for me to think on my next step… but first, where am I? Where’d that creepy Merchant go? And why am I dressed up as Blake Belladonna?” She asked all these questions at the same time but couldn’t receive any answer. The girl who had become Blake sat down and tried to think. “Okay, let’s see… let’s see… my name… what was it again…” She closed her eyes and concentrated. The first thing that came into her mind was her name: Kohaku Ume. Blake opened her eyes and gasped. “Kohaku… now I remember… My name is Kohaku… Well, at least I’ve got my name… now what happened next…” Blake or Kohaku closed her eyes and began to think once more. There was… there was… a convention with different people cosplaying as anime characters… herself going as Blake Belladonna from a tv series called RWBY… meeting a creepy merchant who sold Blake’s signature weapons Gambol Shroud… and then… then… “Hmmm… can’t remember what happened next… Damn it. Well, at least I know some of the events that lead to me… finding myself in this… colorful wonderland. Now though, where do I go in order to find some answers as to how I can return back home and get rid of this form.” Blake sighed. Blake sat up and stretched her arms. Where to go from here on in…? No way that she was heading back to that village. The last thing she wanted was to get bombarded by more questions from those… colorful horses. Only thing to do was continue on her way and find a nice warm house to spend the night. The next morning she would determine her next course of action. And with that cleared up, she moved onward using her abilities and jumped away to the nearest branch. Now… where would she go? (Later…) A long walk and jump from branch to branch led her to a nearby village that was currently under attack by something unknown. This wasn’t good… she wanted to find a place that wasn't going to arouse any sort of suspicion yet that wasn’t an option anymore. Blake was about to continue for a new home yet she overheard screams coming from another set of equines. She sighed heavily and wondered what to do - go out and save the day along with getting exposed or leave them to their fate. But the latter would weigh on her conscience. What to do, what to do… Run or help? It was making her moral compass conflicted… Ugh, this is seriously not her day! “I should just go and move on but-” Blake was cut off by another scream - this time it was female. This made her sigh in frustration. “Ugh, I’m going to regret this…” Blake told herself and prepared her weapon, the Gambol Shroud and headed for the village. When she arrived, she was caught off guard by what she saw - little green-skinned creatures wearing armor and wielding sharp weapons were the ones responsible for attacking the village… hmm, from their shape and sizes, they looked like goblins. But how was this possible…? From the books she read back on Earth, she knew that goblins were just fictional creatures. But this wasn’t fiction anymore - it was complete reality. Right now, it was her job to take care of this mess and look for survivors… if there were still some. Concentrating, she used the ‘Shadow Clone’ ability that Blake possessed to create a couple of copies in order to handle the goblins more easily. Then the true fight had begun. The goblins were easy to take care of since they had the weakest armor ever; the swords and axes weren’t that much of a challenge. However, the little monsters were crafty buggers and often used hiding spots to come out and attack unexpectedly. Already three shadow clones were destroyed yet the real Blake wasn’t out for the count just yet. As the goblins were surrounding her, she quickly faded away using her Semblance much to their confusion. “Where’d she go!?” One of the monsters asked before he got hit by a bullet and fell to the ground much to the shock of his brothers. Another couple of bullets fired out and killed the rest of the goblins. Blake had reappeared on the ground and sighed in relief… unaware that a goblin had noticed her and jumped into the air to strike her down. Unfortunately for him, Blake’s ultra-built Faunus sense picked up the battle roar before she turned and threw the sharp blade of Gambol Shroud. It struck the goblin in the heart and it fell to the ground. The battle had ended as the cat Faunus sighed in relief. “Finally over… now let’s assess the damage.” The black-haired girl decided. She looked to see that the fires had begun to die down yet smoke was still emitting. Looking around, she spotted some nearby buckets and a well which gave her an idea. Picking up two buckets, she filled them with water and doused spots of where a small fire or smoke was seen. It took a little while until everything was normal and the village was no longer under any danger of being burned down. Now though came the hard part - searching for any survivors. Blake was hoping that at least some had survived in order to explain why the village came under attack in the first place. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anyone around - she checked everywhere even inside the houses yet nothing. Damn it… from her best guess, some of the villagers must have escaped while the rest weren’t so lucky. Ugh, damn it. “No point in feeling like a hero if I didn’t save anyone… granted, I did protect a village but there’s no one around.” Blake admitted. Now what? Continue on her way to find a safer location or remain here and get some sleep until tomorrow. Decisions, decisions… “It kind of feels bad of me to stay in one of these houses… yet I feel hungry and tired. I’m sure that nobody would mind…” Blake told herself before deadpanning at how stupid she just sounded. Dismissing what she just said, Blake walked inside in one and started raiding the fridge. Once again, the feeling of guilt entered her mind… she shouldn’t really be doing this. And yet what choice did she have… she needed some food in her system along with sleep. It’s only for tonight - the next morning, she would pack up and be on her way. “Let’s see here… bread, macaroni… pizza… hmmm… what to have for dinner?” Blake wondered as she continued searching. In the end, she settled for a slice of pizza and some orange juice. It wasn’t much but it did fill her belly a bit. Then she washed her hands, took off her clothes and headed straight for bed with only a top and shorts. Closing her eyes, she drifted off to sleep and tried her damndest to forget about the events that occurred this earlier evening… (The next day…) Twilight didn’t know why but she wasn’t feeling like celebrating with the rest of her friends. She was feeling very… sad. It didn’t make sense - she and her friends had traversed the Everfree Forest, stood side-by-side in different challenges, bested Nightmare Moon and restored the uncorrupted of her mentor’s younger sister Princess Luna before returning to Ponyville to celebrate. So, why… why was she feeling this way? She was glad that the crisis was averted and now she could return to Canterlot. But… why wasn’t she feeling happy? Was… was it because of leaving without her friends? “Why so glum, my faithful student?” The motherly tone of Princess Celestia asked behind her. She was a tall alicorn with a white coat and rainbow-styled hair while her eyes were grayish-magenta. The royal crown rested atop her hair while a golden necklace with a purple gem on it and golden hoof shoes served as her accessories. Lastly, her sun-based cutie mark was depicted on her flank. Twilight just let out a soft sigh. “I… I should be happy that I’m returning to Canterlot… yet I don’t feel that way.” She admitted. Despite her thousand year maturity and patience, Celestia flashed a hidden smile. “And why is that?” She asked, knowing full well why Twilight was feeling down. Twilight turned around to see her new-formed friends that were laughing and having fun… somehow she imagined herself joining in that particular kind of thing. And yet… she was returning to Canterlot. “Because… I’m just not happy with leaving them… my friends. I just established my first ever friendship… and now I have to leave.” Twilight admitted with a saddened sigh. That was also Celestia needed to hear… she had made her decision. Clearing her throat, she turned towards the small purplish dragon with green scales on his back and a round belly. “Spike, take a note please.” She declared. Spike, who was eager to please the Princess, prepared a quill and paper. “I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that as of this very moment Twilight Sparkle shall remain in the town of Ponyville and accomplish her newest mission - learning about the Magic of Friendship.” Celestia declared. Twilight couldn’t believe what she just heard. She could barely hold her excitement as she rushed over to hug her mentor. “Thank you, Princess! I promise to study hard and learn about the art of friendship! I won’t let you down!” She told her mentor. Celestia giggled. “Think nothing of it, Twilight. I know you always make me proud.” She told her much to the purple unicorn’s embarrassment. Soon, Twilight went to talk with her friends and tell them the good news as Celestia flashed a small smile at her student. “She has a lot to learn about the Magic of Friendship it would seem…” “It would seem so, sister.” A familiar voice spoke behind Celestia. A young alicorn with a very light azure mane and moderate cyan eyes had approached her. She had a grayish phthalo blue coat with the dark crown resting atop her hair and a dark necklace with dark hoof shoes. Like with Celestia, her crescent moon with a purple spot cutie mark was depicted on her flank. Celestia nodded. “How are you feeling though, little sister?” She asked with a hint of concern due to knowing how many years of isolation Luna has gone through. As expected, her little sister felt nervous. “It’s… taking some use in adapting to the modern Equestria… but I’ll survive.” She assured her sibling. Celestia nodded before embracing Luna in a hug. “I’m just glad that you’re back safe and sound.” She admitted. Luna hugged her back. “Same, Celly… I’m grateful to the Elements for purging me of my darkness. That backup though didn’t seem like a hero…” She admitted. Celestia became confused. “Backup…?” She asked intrigued. “Yes… right after my little appearance in Ponyville’s Town Hall and your student’s brave words… this mysterious being shows up out of nowhere and taunts me with her skills.” Luna explained. Celestia raised a brow. “Mysterious being? Skills?” Luna gave a nod in response. “Yes… a bipedal ape but without hair on her back. It was female, Celly… and you won’t believe this - after I thought I had ‘killed’ her, she teleports behind me and threatens me with a weapon that I’ve never seen before.” She explained. All of this made Celestia very intrigued - a bipedal female ape appears on her world wielding a weapon of unknown origin and utilizing skills unlike any before seen? This wasn’t something that was seen everyday… “Hmmm… do you have a clue as to where she had gone to, Luna?” Celestia asked but Luna shook her head. “I had teleported myself away and didn’t think much about the ape… until now that is. Celly, who is she and what is her role in this?” Luna asked. Celestia went silent to try and think of a plausible theory… but sadly, nothing was coming to her mind. This was troubling. If there was a way to track down this female ape and ask her a couple of questions, then some light might be shed. Unfortunately- “Princess Celestia! Princess Celestia!” One of the princesses royal guards yelled while approaching her. Celestia raised her hoof to calm him. “Calm yourself, Captain. Report.” The captain who was out of breath managed to calm down before speaking. “Princess, we received a report that one of the villages nearby was caught in an attack by goblins!” He declared. Celestia and Luna were horrified and speechless. An innocent village… attacked by goblins? But… they haven’t been seen for more than a thousand years… Celestia and Luna closed their eyes for a moment before the Sun Princess spoke. “Are there any survivors, Captain?” She asked, hoping that there was still inhabitants living there. Sadly, the Captain shook his head. “No, your highness. My scouts reported that the villages had been deserted. Those that remained were killed by the goblins.” He explained. Celestia felt sadness at the loss of innocence and closed her eyes in respect to the fallen victims. How long had it been since she had experienced an event of death… a thousand years no doubt. Luna was also showing a moment of silence for the fallen victims. She knew what it was like to stare death in the face… one moment you’re enjoying life to the fullest and then you lose everything. After a minute, Celestia spoke. “I’ll see to it that some of the survivors are brought in for medical treatment and helping them to recover. It's a shame that we lost a village to those little pests.” She spoke with venom in her tone. The captain nodded while sharing her concern. “I understand, your Majesty. Shall I take my leave now?” He asked. Both of the princesses nodded as the captain was preparing to leave yet he looked away. An act that didn’t escape Celestia’s gaze. “Captain, do you have more to report?” She asked gently. Said captain gave a slow nod. “It’s… probably nothing but I lied about the village being deserted. I… I doubt you’ll believe me though.” He said. “Possibly not but go ahead, Captain.” Celestia urged to continue. The captain gave a small sigh before continuing. “My scouts have reported that some-sort of bipedal ape took care of the goblins and put out the fires… we’re not sure what their intention is though.” Celestia and Luna froze - the bipedal ape had taken care of the goblins and saved the village from being burned down!? This was definitely worth a chance to investigate… Another sigh from the Captain left his mouth. “I’m sorry if the story sounds ludicrous, Princess… I really didn’t want to bother you with my lying and-” Celestia raised her hoof. “Fear not, Captain. What you revealed is nothing but good news for me and my sister. If it’s not worth too much trouble, shall you take us to the village? We would like to have a word with that mysterious ape that saved it.” Said captain nodded with a bow. “Of course. I’ll take you whenever you are ready to depart.” He told them. Celestia looked at her sister who nodded. Like her, she was also eager to solve the mystery of the ape that had been unintentionally summoned by accident. The Sun Princess nodded back and then looked at her captain. “Very well, Captain. Let’s make our way towards the abandoned village.” > Meeting with the Royalty itself and Conflicted Feeling. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meeting important people really scared her. Actually, that was a lie... she had a huge fear of meeting newcomers. Back when she was Kohaku, she was often weary of strangers since she often kept a sharp eye on anyone that might try something funny with her. She wasn't entirely sure how she had ended up in this situation or if she could trust these ponies, but she didn't have much of a choice at the moment. No turning back now! She prepared to face her destiny with a confident look. Blake couldn't help but wonder just how exactly this shit ended up with her in the castle and meeting the two sisters. And to think this morning had started out perfect... (Earlier in the day...) Hugging her pillow and snoring without a care in the world, Blake was resting and sleeping with a blanket and saliva coming out of her mouth. She wanted to sleep all day. No worries, no distractions, nothing. Just a decent sleep... "Mmm... soft bed..." She mumbled with a smile on her face. All was quiet in the room... but then she awoke and sat up before pausing and taking a whiff in the air. The smell seemed... different. VERY different. "Huh?" She tried to place the scent. It felt... like a scent from a pony... Oh, shit! They found her! Blake got up and shook her head. "I need to leave now before it all goes to hell. Now where's my clothes..." Recovering them from the ground she got dressed quickly and peaked out through the windows in the living room... so far, all was quiet outside yet she knew that the ponies were already on their way. "Ugh, why now?" And at that moment she saw movement in the form of a tall unicorn with wings landing gently in the village along with a shorter one next to her... followed by a squad of royal guards. "Oh no..." She whispered quietly with a gulp. So many ponies outside! Blake needed to find another way out or try to hide until they were gone. But where? How? At that moment though, the tall unicorn with wings' voice could be heard. "Spread out and search the village for survivors. Also, there is someone that we wish to speak to... so, treat her with respect. She did save our kingdom from Nightmare Moon herself." The tall unicorn's words made Blake gulp. They wanted to speak with her...? Why? Blake wasn't sure if she wanted to know... all she wanted was to go back home! Maybe... they could help her get back home? But they were strangers to her. They weren't to be trusted! And yet she couldn't run forever let alone fight them off. For now though, she hid under a bed and hoped they wouldn't find her. Blake clasped her mouth shut and became one with the silent room. Of course, hiding under the bed is a supremely stupid idea and she was found almost immediately and it didn't take long for the royal guard to flush her out... And so here she was, in a room in the palace about to talk to the rulers of the land. "Why did I land in this world to begin with...?" She asked herself with a groan. It was a mystery. Although, a bigger mystery was why she was even wearing this dress to begin with because it made her look dumb and fat even though the latter was a lie. Instead of her usual attire, she wore a short, purple asymmetrical, halter neck dress that was split up the right side and has a black collar. Translucent black mesh covered her shoulders, décolletage and back, and decorative black swirls cover the left side of the dress and continue up the left strap. The outfit was completed with black pumps. Weird but it felt... familiar. She couldn't place the style though... and what confused her more was the fact that it seemed to fit her perfectly and was made for a human. An ironic thing to state given that she was currently in a world of living equines. Why did the princesses gave her this...? Maybe to show their appreciation? Oh, well. At least it was a fitting gift. Soon, she made her way towards the throne room and went inside, wondering how this was going to end up. A deep breath had been taken to calm herself. Once inside the throne room she was in awe - a beautiful sight to enjoy. Tall pillars, colorful windows... It was a sight to behold. And on the throne room were the two princesses whom she learnt were the keepers of the Sun and Moon. Blake gulped as the two tall princesses stood to attention. "Thank you for bringing us the girl, Royal Guards. You may now leave us." The tall white one ordered to her fellow subjects. Fear took over the form of Blake Belladonna - not only for her life but also for the judgement that would come in a few seconds. The guards bowed in respect and left quickly, leaving the poor cat-girl at the mercy of the princesses. She couldn't take it. "Okay, okay! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I ran from you both but I have no idea if I can trust you or not! Please don't me to prison!" She pleaded while on the ground with her arms in a prayer and shivering. She was so doomed! So scared! So terrified for her- What caught her off guard was Celestia's amused giggles. "Young one, you don't need to be afraid," "H-huh?" "We're not going to throw you in prison," "Y-you aren't?" "No," Blake raised a brow. "What's your game?" The white unicorn raised her hoofs to indicate that there was no malice or threats in her words. "No game intended, young one." "Really?" "Yes. I wish you no harm... merely to thank you for freeing my sister from her endless prison." "Oh." Was the only thing from the cat-girl's mouth. Blake felt a little more calmer but nevertheless remained on the offensive. "So, why have you both brought me here?" "We only wish to question you on your identity and where you've acquired your powers." Was the answer from the Sun Princess' mouth. "Ah, I see." Blake nodded back, still on edge but a little more calmer. "Before we get down to our questions, introductions are in order: I am Princess Celestia of Equestria and my younger sister is Princess Luna... A.K.A. the Troublemaker." The white princess known as Celestia answered with an amused glance. "Hey!" Said younger sibling, Luna, pouted in annoyance. Celestia turned away to hide the smile. Blake snickered, not at all imagining these two to be a pair of jokers. As for Luna, she crossed her arms in annoyance. "Not funny." "Sure it is," Celestia replied with amusement and watched Blake trying her best not to explore with laughter on the ground. Celestia was satisfied to see that their guest was at least calming down. Just the effect she needed... "Now that we've introduced ourselves, perhaps you'll honor us with your name." Celestia questioned. Blake nodded and rubbed the back of her head. "How... how much do you want the full truth out of this? Entire story or... just the important bits. It's a weird one." "Try us, we've seen a lot of 'weird' in our lives," Celestia stated. It was truth... she and her sister had seen many things in life that could be classified as 'weird' or 'insane'. The cat-girl sighed. "Very well... to start off, my real name is Kohaku Ume or Koko as my friends call me... but in this form, I'm called Blake Belladonna... from a series called RWBY." Blake then explained the entire story from top to bottom without slowing down until she was finished. She gave the details about the cat-girl, her story, her likes and dislikes, Team RWBY, the history, everything that she had memorized when she was watching the show back home. Celestia and Luna listened intently and were astonished by Blake's tale. It was definitely the weirdest thing they've ever heard. A world of kids having weird super abilities and using weapons for the greater good of mankind... it was unbelievable. And they thought Discord's spells were troublesome! After she finished everything, Blake went silent for a moment to let the Princesses process the information. Seconds later, the silence was broken by Celestia asking a question. "So what would you like us to do?" "Well... not sure. Unless you have a means of me getting back home..." Blake trailed off. "We'll look into it," Celestia promised as best she could. "We can't promise you anything but we'll do our best to find a means for you to return home." Luna told her and shared a glance with her sibling who nodded. Blake gave them a grateful nod. "I appreciate it." "In the meantime, you'll need a place to stay," Celestia commented. "True to that... although, is it possible to have a place... somewhere that is quiet without too much company?" Blake questioned with a nervous blush on her face. "Oh! A fellow introvert?" Luna questioned with interest in her tone and the cat-girl replied in the form of a simple nod. "I don't like people that much... other than close friends plus I enjoy reading books a lot... kinda of like Blake does in the series." Blake admitted with an embarrassed look. Luna cheered. "Finally! A fellow introvert!" Celestia rolled her eyes at this statement. Again with this conversation... Blake raised a brow. "Let me guess, you enjoy the peace and quiet?" She questioned. Luna sighed. "You have no idea what it's like to be cramped in front of a crowd of ponies and freezing while looking at them. It's horrible... and don't get me started on little Miss Sunny Side on my left." She pointed her hoof at her sister. "Hey!" Celestia sent her a glare in response. The Princess of the Night gave a deadpan look in return. "You were always telling me to go outside and socialize more... It was very hard to do, sister!" She stated. "It's good for you Lulu!" Celestia argued. Luna crossed her hoofs and dismissed her words. "Uh-huh." Blake was definitely not expecting this... she was expecting either tyrannical dictators or wise rulers to judge her. Instead, the rulers turn out to be a pair of clowns. She started giggling at their antics. Celestia and Luna turned to look at her with raised brows on their face. "What? You two are funny." She admitted much to their embarrassment. Celestia and Luna shared a glance and then one at Blake... before they hid their faces. "We're supposed to be the wise princesses who protect our world from threats... we're not a pair of jokers." Blake rolled her eyes at their words and smirked. "Sure you are... sure you are." "Lulu... do something." Celestia pleaded. "I'm already being embarrassed enough as it is, Celly... you do something." Luna replied back. While they were both having disagreements as to what to do, Blake stretched her arms and then paused. Oh, right... the dress. "Why did I get this dress though? I mean... it just gives off red alarms, Princesses." Blake questioned. "Huh?" Celestia raised a brow of confusion at this question. "I mean... you both gave me this dress... free of charge, I might add. Is it laced with some sort of sleep drug or...?" Blake asked in a worried tone. "O-oh! No, no! It's a gift, that's all. You are in the presence of royalty and its only fitting that you dress appropriate for the occasion." Celestia explained quickly as to make sure that her guest didn't get the wrong kind of attention. "Someone's paranoid," Luna muttered under her breath. Blake deadpanned, having heard the Princess' words. "Blake's character is filled with paranoia." "Oh?" Luna raised a brow. "Yeah..." Blake rubbed the back of her head before continuing. "I mean... from the way your face is, Princess Luna, you also have a paranoid nature in you." Luna grumbled at that statement. Celestia giggled. "Probably a good thing I'm here." Luna pouted in response to Celestia's words. She sent a glance that said 'Stop embarrassing me, please'. Blake rolled her eyes. "This has been the most awkward day in the history of Blake Belladonna... or Kohaku Ume." The Princesses giggled in response and then Celestia cleared her throat. "I'll start renovating your room as soon as possible... although, I'll need some preferences as to what Blake likes and dislikes, Miss Ume... actually, what do I call you?" "Uh...I'm not sure...I'm half Blake half Kohaku..." Celestia rubbed her backhead with her hoof. "Blake and Kohaku... hmmm... Blahaku?" She suggested. Both Luna and Blake deadpanned at that cringe name. Who on Earth would name their kid 'Blahaku'? It sounded so awful... "That name sounds awful." Blake admitted. "This is why we don't let Tia name anything. Last time she did, we got a town named Ponyville," Luna smirked at the amusing memory. "HEY!" Celestia yelled. "It's true Tia, don't deny it!" Luna replied back with a grin. "Shut up..." Celestia hid her face with a grumble. Blake snorted. "Is she always like this?" "Yup!" Luna declared with a proud look. Then an evil idea popped into her head... this ought to be an amusing story to share with the newcomer Luna then hid her giggles. "And... she... accidentally started a fight against the Griffin King and herself... over cake." "Oh?" Blake asked with interest. Celestia sent her a death look and a face that said 'Don't you dare!'. She wouldn't! The last thing she needed right now as her sister's ongoing teasing routines! Luna smirked and rubbed her hooves together. Too late! "Hmmm... Well, since you wanted to know, Blake... Little Miss Sun over here... was basically provoked by the King who was just having a laugh... over cake. Now I've never told anyone this... but Tia is very protective of the word 'cake'." She answered as Celestia's face morphed into despair. GODDAMN IT, LUNA!!! "WHY!?" Celestia demanded with a betrayed look. Luna's answer came in the form of chuckles. She had won this day! But there were plenty more to come... more teasing and annoying her older sibling. As for their guest... Blake rolled her eyes. Yep, the princesses were a pair of jokesters. All she could do was release a heavy sigh... At least she was in good hands... for now. Guess she was worried about nothing. Just a simple misunderstanding that turned into a good end to their meeting. (Later...) After getting out of her dress, Blake equipped back her old attire. It felt good to be out of that thing! For now, she needed some peace and quiet... watching the stars outside. It was nice and calm... guess this place was a peaceful one indeed. She relax without a care in the world and enjoyed the stars outside. "My favorite spot to come... or at least came before I turned into Nightmare Moon." A voice spoke next to her. She didn't need to be spooked and guessed who it was... Luna. "Hi," Blake said without turning. "Hello as well, Blake. I apologize if I'm interrupting... but I was hoping that I might keep you company." Luna requested as she sat down next to her. "Sure," Blake agreed. Blake didn't mind the company... in fact, she appreciated it a lot. They sat together and continued watching. "Something about the stars... it just calms people down." Blake admitted while watching the shining stars in the night sky. "Indeed," Luna agreed with the girl. Luna watched the night sky and sighed in content. "I often miss nights like these." "Oh?" Blake wondered as she looked at the princess. "Ever since I was imprisoned on the moon... I couldn't see my beautiful night." Luna admitted in a sad tone. "That sounds awful," Blake sympathized with her. "Indeed... although, I do find it a fitting punishment since I had become too intoxicated by power." Luna stated. "I see." Blake replied. Blake was glad to have gotten rid of Nightmare then and returning Luna to her previous form. At least she was able to grant the Princess of the Night her freedom... for all it was worth. Blake embraced the princess in the form of a hug. Luna was surprised by that hug. "I won't let you be alone to fall to darkness again," Blake promised. Luna's surprised face was definitely not fading any time soon. "Blake..." Blake just kept hugging her as Luna started sniffling "I... I've never had anyone show me so much kindness before. Except for my sister, you are the first creature that has shown me such compassion." Luna admitted with tears dripping down her eyes. Blake blushed. She just kept hugging the pony... was this a feeling of attraction? A-attraction?! What was she thinking?! Where did that line of thought come from!? She immediately shook her head. "I'm not doing anything special..." She assured as to not get the wrong impression. "Huh!?" Luna asked after wiping her tears away. "I'm just... being a decent person..." Blake blushed at her words. Luna raised a brow. "What are you talking about?" She questioned confusingly. "Gah!" Blake quickly hid her face as to avoid getting more embarrassed than she already was although it didn't stop her from blurting the next sentence from her mouth. "S-stop the hormones please..." "Oh?" Luna then raised an amused brow. This should be enjoyable. She wanted to tease this kitty... and tease her she will! Luna got closer and snuggled her. "Being a Princess of the Night is... lonely." She admitted. "Eep!" Blake jumped up in an embarrassing tone which lead to Luna releasing a set of giggles. Then she wondered if she was going too far with the teasing... nah, probably not. She got closer and planted a kiss on Blake's cheek. "GAH!" Luna chuckled. This one was indeed interesting... she would enjoy teasing her quite a lot. With that, the Princess of the Night took her leave quickly and flew off before the kitty could explode. The catgirl was left on her own and wondered why her hormones were flaring up... She was a pony! Ponies and humans don't pair! It was bestiality! Although, she had to remember that she was a Faunus... plus, there were Human and Faunus pairings in the show. Well, if Luna was human... well, maybe... but she wasn't! She was a pony! A human Luna... Blake blushed heavily at that thought. Unbeknownst to the catgirl, Luna was having the same thoughts on her mind as well. She must find a way to transform into a 'human' that Blake mentioned and then maybe she'll have luck in... Hmmm, nah. It was just a simple joke on her mind. Granted, the teasing bit was just a joke on her part... but... there was something about Blake Belladonna... It was... alluring. And the kiss she gave her... Oh my! Luna found pink color on both her cheek. Hmm... It was just a simple teasing prank she did... then again, she wasn't kidding when she said she was alone. It had been so long many centuries since she had someone by her side. She never did have a chance to form a relationship. Luna found herself blushing once more in her thoughts. She kept flying while deciding that perhaps it just might be time to focus on her own happiness for once. And she could start by getting to know the newly arrived Blake Belladonna. She nodded to herself. Even if she was a pony, she didn't care. Based on what Blake told her, Faunus fell in love with humans as well... and she was half-Faunus in a way. Yes, that’s it. Luna flew off to do her duties but there would also be free time... time in which she would use to get to know Blake Belladonna better. (Later…) Blake was awed by the state of room that was gifted by the two Princesses. A room filled with books, a comfy bed, a telescope... even a tea set. Wow... she was so lucky! This was perfect! Some peace and quiet... and she could even read books without getting disturbed. She sat down at the table and poured herself some tea, she closed her eyes and began to drink it slowly... hmm, strawberry flavor. This was bliss. Then she got up and looked through her telescope... she was in awe. The night sky and the stars were so beautiful. Was this heaven? Probably. This world was definitely a lot more peaceful and quiet than Earth. Hell, it was even friendly... might she dare say. She sat back into her comfy chair, relaxed and closed her eyes as sleep overtook her. > Meeting the Locals of Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few days had passed since the displaced character from the series RWBY, Blake Belladonna, had settled down as a permanent resident of the castle.  Right now, she was in her room and resting on the bed while reading a book that she had borrowed from the library.  A book with erotica and some action. Looks like Kohaku had not only become Blake but even inherited some of her mannerisms… along with a mix of her personality. Currently, she was reading the latest chapter of said book and then saw a picture that made her smirk. “Wow. Now that’s a katana!” She let out an amused chuckle. She continued to read her book until a knock on the door came. “Coming! Give me a minute!” Blake replied. She placed a bookmark after which she got up to answer the door. The one that knocked was none other than Princess Luna herself. Blake wondered what she wanted. "Hello, Princess," Blake said with a smile on her face. “Greetings Blake Belladonna. I wanted to see how you were doing so far.” Luna replied with a smile of her own. "Just relaxing with a book in my lap. What about you?" Blake inquired.  Princess Luna kept a smile on her face. “My sister has asked me to socialize with the various ponies in Ponyville and I was wondering if you would like to tag along with me. I’m planning to visit Twilight Sparkle.” She answered the question. "Sure... but who is this 'Twilight Sparkle'?" Blake questioned with a confused look. “My sister’s apprentice and the town’s librarian,” Luna answered to clear up Blake’s confusion. "Ah, I see… but what does she look like exactly?" The cat-girl asked. “You will see when we arrive,” Luna replied as she turned to leave the room. Blake gave a small shrug at that confusing sentence but followed Luna nevertheless... The catgirl and the alicorn headed outside to the personal carriage of the princesses. It flew off into the air with the use of two pegasi ponies. While the trip would be short, Blake decided to close her eyes and let the wind blow in her face and hair. Some peace until they reached Ponyville… (Later…) Luna stepped out of the carriage as did Blake who was looking around. Huh, interesting- Wait, was... was that a house made out of gingerbread? Holy shit! “Princess Luna?” Blake spoke up as the princess looked at the catgirl before replying. “Yes, Blake?” Blake turned and pointed to the literal candy-like house. “Is that house made out of candy?” She asked. Luna took a closer look at the place before giving a nod. "It would seem so… But I wouldn’t recommend you try to eat it.” She warned. "I wasn't planning to. Just confused by its appearance is all... who builds a house made out of gingerbread?" Blake asked herself and stroked her chin to think. But she didn’t have to wait for an answer that long since something pink had shoved itself into her face. “I have the answer to that question!” It responded to her. “Gah!” Blake jumped back in shock. Princess Luna cast her levitation magic and held her away from Blake Belladonna who was still trying to make heads and tails of what just happened.  The amber-eyed girl had now gotten a closer look at her supposed ‘assailant’ and it turned out that it was an earth pony whose coat was pink and her cutie mark was three different colored balloons. Her hair however was a complete mess and shaped up like cotton candy. How was that possible? “Element of Laughter! Please control yourself if you can! Blake is a guest and a newcomer to Ponyville!” Luna revealed to the pink hyper earth pony who had originally planned to bombard Blake with a load of questions. The Element of Laughter calmed down and let out some giggles. "Sorry, Princess Luna! I’m just excited to meet a new friend!” She replied truthfully. “Who is this?” Blake finally decided to ask. "This is the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie. One of the sixth wielders of the Elements of Harmony that destroyed the darkness known as Nightmare Moon and restored me to normal." Luna revealed. “Element of Laughter?” Blake questioned confusingly. She then remembered reading from the castle library’s books on the Elements of Harmony, “Oh, yeah… I remember now. But what other Elements are there?” She inquired. Luna blinked a bit and then remembered. "Oh, right... you don't know about this yet. Long ago, I was overcome by envy and hatred for my sister Celestia and I became Nightmare Moon.” She explained. "Overcome? You don't seem angry now." Blake admitted. “Yes, but not anymore. That’s what happens after being hit by pure harmony,” Luna replied with a smile on her face. Blake just nodded and made a mental note to continue researching more on these Elements of Harmony when they got back to the castle. Despite reading a little bit of information on them, she wasn’t able to memorize everything it seemed. There were still gaps in her intelligence cortex that she needed to fill in. But in the meantime… “Can you tell me the rest of the Elements by chance?” She requested with Luna giving a nod. "Besides Laughter, there is also the Element of Honesty, Magic, Generosity, Loyalty, and Kindness," Luna explained. “I see… Can we meet them as well?” Blake asked as she was memorizing the information she had just learned. "Yes, we can. We’re about to meet the Element of Magic next." Luna replied. “Before you head there, I have a question for the kitty cat: when’s your birthday!?” Pinkie asked as she tackled Blake to the ground. "Gah!" Blake was stunned and annoyed - why on Earth did she call her kitty cat!? She was a catgirl from a tv series, not a damn literal cat! “Element of Laughter…” Luna warned with a shake of her head. To save Blake from embarrassment, Luna lit up her horn and cast it around Pinkie, who looked depressed. “But… but…” “I’m sorry, Pinkie Pie. But I’ve already told you that you need to control yourself.” Luna told the party lover. Luna levitated her a little bit away and then watched as Blake jumped up back to her feet. "Are you alright, Blake?" Luna asked her with the catgirl giving a nod. “I’ll live… but you can put the Element of Laughter down,” Blake assured her. "Are you sure?" Luna asked with a worried expression. “Yes, Princess. I’m a big girl and- Well, catgirl. But you get the picture… I can handle her easily.” Blake assured. Giving a reluctant nod, Princess Luna lowered the party pony onto the ground. Slowly and gently… before issuing her a warning once more. "Slow questions, please. She's a guest." She reminded the Element of Laughter. Giving a nod in return, Blake turned back to Pinkie and answered the question. “My birthday is August 3rd.” With a smiling nod, she cheered and rushed ahead before either the Princess or catgirl could say anything else.  That party lover was quite the energetic earth pony… but what exactly was she even planning with her birthday date? “She’ll no doubt want to throw you a party in your honor,” Luna revealed. Blake became confused. "A party for me? Why? I don’t even know what I’ve done to deserve it." She admitted. "According to the bits of information I’ve learned from my sister, the Element of Laughter is focused on learning the names and history of EVERYONE. Including you. Not to mention that you'll be having a party in your honor." Luna explained. Blake still doesn’t fully understand why she was getting a party in her name since she hasn’t done anything to earn a party. Could she refuse it and just carry on with her business? "Twilight Sparkle might have a better idea than I do. She had befriended her not too long ago when she first came to Ponyville." Luna explained. “Oh, yeah. Twilight, right? Where does she live?” Blake questioned the current whereabouts of this ‘Twilight’ pony. "According to my sister, Twilight has taken refuge in a library that was built inside a tree. Called Golden Oaks. Come with me and we'll see if she's in there." Luna decided. “Oh? So a literal tree house?” Blake asked, thinking of a child’s treehouse. "In a sense, yes. Also, my sister has warned me that Twilight will be asking questions... and might be a bit... angry with you." Luna warned the catgirl. "Oh, why? I’ve never met her or done anything to her." Blake replied confusion on her face. “You don’t remember?” Luna asked, surprised. Blake halted to think about the situation... her lips twitched into a frown. What exactly did she do again...? “When you first came to our home it was during the Sun Summer Celebration and do you remember the monster who attacked?” Luna asked her. "You mean... Nightmare, right?" Blake asked, vaguely remembering the name. Luna gave a nod. "Exactly. That was me as you already have been informed. And there was something else - one of the elements attempted to question you yet you got away from the scene to chase me down." She explained. It took a few seconds for Blake to process what was told to her before she snapped her fingers. “Ah, right. Though I wasn’t chasing you… I was trying to figure out where I ended up.” She explained. "Regardless… Brace yourself is all I can suggest." Luna advised her. Taking the lead, Luna led Blake through the small hamlet of Ponyville and soon they arrived at the treehouse, which conveniently held a library inside. Blake smiled an amused look. A fancy home - a treehouse in a way and a library inside. Quite intriguing… live and sleep with knowledge. Blake touched the knob and twisted it as she opened the door. Both she and Luna stepped into the treehouse and they saw a small purple dragon with green scales cleaning the library with a duster. "Who's that?" Blake whispered to the princess. “Twilight Sparkle’s assistant,” Luna answered the question. Upon hearing something, the young dragon turned to them and was surprised by the appearance of the night Princess. He didn’t expect her and… her mysterious guest to come and visit them today. “Oh, Princess Luna! We weren’t expecting you to visit us today… what brings you here?” He questioned, his tone being that of a young child. "Hello, young Spike. Is the Element of Magic in the library by any chance?" Luna inquired about the location of the young wielder. “In her study. I’ll go and fetch her ASAP.” Spike replied with a salute. "Thank you. We have some business with her to discuss." Luna explained as Spike gave a nod and took off to fetch the Element of Magic. Luna and Blake decided to wait in the library. Shouldn’t be too long for Spike the baby Dragon to bring her back. "She won't be long," Luna assured her. “Let’s hope so… do you mind if I look around?” Blake requested as she was examining the contents of the library. "Be my guest. Just… we should wait until Twilight Sparkle returns and then ask if you can borrow one of the books." Luna explained. Blake gave the nod as she turned back to- "YOU!?" A voice startled her. Blake turned towards the source of the voice and immediately frowned. "Um, yes? I’m Blake Belladonna." She answered. The one that yelled at her was a purple unicorn with a six-star mark on her flank. Spike was nowhere to be seen… must be busy cleaning the rest of the place. “Twilight Sparkle, be calm. Blake means no harm to us.” Luna assured, standing in front of Blake. Twilight however refused to listen as she got prepared to pounce on Blake any second, not even caring if the princess was in the room! "Calm down!? Princess Luna, she's being-" The unicorn halted her speech. There were two reasons - one was that Princess Luna was in the room and the second being that she wouldn't gain any favor and humiliate herself if she did anything stupid. But she wasn't sure if she should trust this 'Blake' person yet. Seeing Twilight’s facial expression at the moment along with how determined she was to gain answers made Luna sigh. It seems her sister had been right in her warning. Perhaps it was not yet time for an appropriate visit… not at least now. Until Twilight calmed down then she would not leave Blake in her presence. “Blake, let us depart once more. The time to visit isn’t right for you.” Luna decided. "I'm sorry but I don't trust her yet," Twilight explained, a little bit calmer this time. Twilight had a lot of questions on her mind regarding the appearance of the newcomer during the Summer Sun Celebration. However, it would seem that they would be answered at a later date. Luna understood the message and gave a nod. “Very well then. We will come back and you can interview her properly." Twilight gave another nod and cast a quick glance at Blake. She didn't know what to think about her yet and would reserve judgment until the day of their questioning came. “I expect some answers from you when the time for our interviewing comes,” Twilight warned Blake. Blake decided to speak up and defend herself. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble or appear at your little celebration. Was just trying to find my way back home, that’s all.” She explained. Twilight kept a frown. "I see. Let's hope that is the case... Blake." She warned. Releasing a sigh, Blake turned to Luna. "Princess... we should leave. We have some more business to do." She forwarded her words. “Agreed. We’ll return at another time, Twilight Sparkle.” Luna sighed as she took her leave with Blake following suit. "Princess." Twilight wished politely and then closed the door after Luna and Blake left the library. “I’m sorry.” Luna apologized to the catgirl. "It's fine... Is she always like that?" Blake inquired. “No,” Luna admitted with a shake of her head. “According to my sister, Twilight Sparkle is traditionally calm most of the time, but for some reason, she doesn't like you. The good deeds that you perform in the future might change her mind but we shall see.” She explained to Blake. Probably because I ran away from the Summer Sun Celebration or whatever it was called… but maybe Luna has a point. Blake thought in her mind. At that moment, her stomach released a growl as Blake blushed in embarrassment. “Sorry.” Luna gave an amused smile at that. "I do believe we should go and have something to eat. Though we’ll have to see what sort of food is edible for you." She pointed out. “Yeah. Good point” Blake admitted. Blake and Luna headed off in a random direction... with the catgirl wondering where they would go to get a decent meal. Hopefully, there should be some edible food for her since she was a human after all. Maybe an omelet or a croissant but nothing pony-like for her. They soon arrived at a nearby café, where they came face to face with a white-colored pony whose mane and tail were colored violet. Using her horn, she levitated the cup that was filled with tea. Blake turned to Luna and questioned the identity of this unicorn. "The Element of Generosity whose name is Rarity, I believe." Blake nodded slowly and then replied. “Another Element of Harmony, right?” "Correct. If time permits us, we’ll meet the rest of the elements later today and see what their opinion is about you." Luna replied. “And the Element of Generosity?” Blake asked. "Let us find out." Luna encouraged and stepped forward. “Greetings to you, Element of Generosity.” She voiced her presence. Taking another sip from her tea, she turned to look at- "Oh, hello Princess Luna! Fancy meeting- Oh! Aren't you that...?" Rarity voiced her surprise when she saw Blake. "Yeah... from the celebration. I escaped to learn where I had found myself and how to find my way back home." Blake revealed and kept her distance from the white-colored pony. A frown made its way onto the lips of Rarity as she stared at Luna for answers but the Moon Princess could only shake her head. "It's... a long story. She means no harm, Rarity. Please give her a chance." Luna promised. “Hmmm…” Rarity trailed off as she got off the chair and left her tea unattended. What she did next startled and surprised both Blake and Luna. She was invading the catgirl’s personal space and examining her very closely! “H-Hey! What the hell are you doing!?” Blake demanded with a blush. Luna frowned. "Rarity, that's not appropriate!" She scolded with a disapproving look. “I know, Princess Luna! But this marvelous and beautiful creature must have an outfit!” Rarity revealed, which surprised the catgirl once more. "Huh!? An outfit... for me? You want to make clothes?” Blake asked confused. “Of course, dear! Never have I worked with a creature like you.” Rarity admitted. Blake wasn’t sure how to feel about that one… clothes. Just for her which was quite a huge surprise. “I’m… a human. Well, more like… a Faunus. A cat Faunus.” Blake explained. "A cat Faunus?" Rarity asked, intrigued at both the name and the meaning. During what little time they spent in the castle, Luna had learned a little bit about her guest’s species - according to her, the Faunus were humans with a single animal feature. In the case of Miss Belladonna, it was her adorable cat ears. "Humans that have a single animal feature. In my case, I have adorable cat ears." Blake explained. Rarity gave a nod as she was continuing to measure and examine Blake. “Fascinating… What type of Faunus are there besides your species?” She questioned. Said question caught Blake off guard as she stroked her chin. "Not certain to be honest." She admitted. “What do you mean?” Luna asked, concern visible on her face. "Are there other humans like me around?" Blake asked. “Unless my sister and I met some thousands of years ago, I doubt it. You are the first of your kind to come to our world.” Luna answered truthfully. “Oh… that’s too bad,” Blake admitted with her ears falling flat. No humans or Faunus on Equestria... What a bummer. She would have been intrigued to meet another Faunus like Velvet Scarlatina or Ilia Amitola, despite them being RWBY characters. “Are you ok?” Luna asked, noting the hurt face of Blake. "I'll be fine... just trying to think about all of this," Blake admitted with a shrug. Blake didn’t think she was alone in this world, the thought never crossed her mind. What to do now...?  Should she continue in her quest to find a way back home or would she have to remain here permanently?  “And… done!” Rarity finished, satisfied with the results. "Oh? Did you get my measurements? Satisfied?" Blake inquired. “No, not yet, darling.” Rarity answered. Blake frowned. “Why is that?” She asked. “I need to make you an outfit first before I’m ever satisfied.” Rarity replied, eager to get started on sewing and fixing her outfit. "But... I have things to do with the Princess..." Blake tried to protest. “But, of course! I can come over later, darling or you can schedule an appointment at the Carousel Boutique. See you soon!” Rarity wished and departed ASAP. "Huh... that was easy," Blake admitted with a surprised look. “For now… we’ll head over to the boutique once our business at the cafe is concluded.” Luna decided. Both women headed inside and took their seats. Blake picked up her menu while Luna levitated herself.  Going into thinking mode, she read what type of meals they served… hopefully, there was an omelet available for her. She would kill for one right now… Maybe even a tuna salad if there was one. Yummy! "Hmmm... what to pick..." Blake asked, stroking her chin. “Blake, can you eat our food?” Luna asked intrigued. "Depends… but we’ll see what they have," Blake admitted and continued to examine the menu. Ah! They had an omelet, filled with cheese and sprinkled with a dash of salt! A lucky day. Blake had chosen her omelet while Luna ordered the most expensive thing in this little eating establishment. The waiter went to fulfill their orders. "After we’re done with Rarity… are we going back to the castle?" Blake questioned. Luna gave a nod. “Indeed… I had hoped that you and Twilight would begin to get along but it seems that she needs more time until she is ready to make a pleasant conversation with you.” She answered. "Yeah. It all depends on her and how she acts in the days to come." Blake added. Giving a nod in return, Luna dropped the topic and eagerly awaited for their meals to arrive. And after their lunch, the Carousel Boutique was the next stop on their little outing in Ponyville. If possible, they would meet the rest of the Elements soon enough.
