Hi, guys! kuyakevs here! Thank you a ton for surviving the first chapter. This time, I decided to try POV changes. Half of this chp. is basically at the A/N at the bottom. See y'all later!
***POV CHANGE: Princess Celestia
I was reading a letter from my student, Twilight Sparkle, when my sister burst through the door with a troubled face. I looked at her.
"Dear sister, what is the matter?" I didn't want to pry, but from her face, I knew she needed help.
"I…," she looked down in tears, "I kissed Aaron!"
***POV CHANGE: Aaron Hoofington
I woke up with a sense of loneliness… and sickness. I burst into the bathroom, but it was too late. I was barfing like the tsunami from the movie, 2012. (Don't sue me! I don't own it!) Twilight probably heard me because I heard somepony coming… Oh, it's just Spike.
"That's tough, man."
"No… jok- BLLEEEAAAAAGGHH!" I was caught by a torrent of fluids. Brown, green, yellow… Sickness Rainbow, I thought. When Spike left to make breakfast, I cleaned up the missed shots. After finishing, I stumbled to the bed, remembering the party up until…. "I- I… I kissed the princess!" I freaked out.
I woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by Twilight, her friends, and the princesses. I shuddered seeing Luna. However, they didn't notice me coming to. Therefore, I decided to prank them.
"BOO!"
Bad idea; my face hurts to this day. "I guess I deserved it," I mumbled, massaging my cheek. Goddamn, Rainbow Dash. For all I know, you gave me a scar! "What happened, Twi?" I asked.
"It wasn't good," she replied. Well, at least she's okay with her nickname I made. I thought she would freak out the first time. Twilight sighed. "You were in hysterics, jumping all over the house. I tried to calm you down, but you just leaped off the balcony…" She gestured toward Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "I had to ask these two to haul you over here, and ever since then, you've been out for hours."
I just stared, trying to recollect those memories. "At least you tried," I murmured. Just then, a nurse walked in.
"Mr. Hoofington can be discharged once he- oh, he's awake. Anyway, he can be discharged should you feel he is ready." The nurse faced me. "Mister, you took quite a fall. Luckily, your left leg broke most of it, but I'm afraid you'll have to have a cast and crutches that fit your size."
I nodded, "Thank you, Nurse… Nurse, Um…"
"Nurse Redheart."
She left the room and returned with my appropriate items necessary for traveling around. Redheart also gave me paperwork to fill out for my release. Once I finished, we exited the building. I suggested we all walk to Twilight's house, and everypony except Luna agreed. This saddened me quite a bit. I was hoping we could straighten things out after our drunken mishap. "There are many cases in night court that have been scheduled tonight," she said, lying. I couldn't say no, though, so I let it pass.
It was a silent walk home. However, we all got home and heard Pinkie Pie gasp. "SLUMBER PARTY!" she screamed. I groaned, remembering my older sister on Earth. She would call her friends over five times a week, and I wouldn't get any sleep or work done no matter what…
"Aaron! Get your sorry butt upstairs! I don't want you down here AT ALL!"
"God… Fine."
Another one of those days. Megan was having friends over. Seven, to be exact. They were bringing a couple dudes over if I remember correctly…
"Hey, dude. What you doin' up here?" This was my sister's boyfriend, David. As much as he loved Megan, he felt compassion towards her hatred towards me. "Wait, don't answer that. I know. She shouldn't be doing this to you. If there are guys, why can't you chill with us?"
"She hates me. 'Just cause' is all she says."
He gestured for me to follow him, so I did. We went down, much to my sister's despair. I sat down with him next to the other guys, and they greeted me respectfully. About time, I thought. I finally feel worthy. Although David accepted me, my sister was different.
"Why in the hell of God is he here? I told him to stay up and out of the party!"
"'Cause I let him!" My sister gasped at that statement. "He needs to be treated like a man. Let him hang out like one."
My sister was absolutely furious. I should have warned David that she makes quick decisions when she's mad. "YOU KNOW WHAT? GET OUT, DAVID! WE! ARE! OVER!"
"I'll come back," he told me. As David walked out he turned around, and he made me feel a lot better. "Megan? Fuck. You." He gave her the finger and slammed the door. I felt giddy as I walked upstairs.
"Mission Control to Aaron! Do you copy?" Pinkie looked at me questioningly.
"Sorry, girls. I was remembering… the days in Hell." I sat down on the couch. "I never want to go back, but I'm starting to miss my family. I don't understand."
Celestia sighed. "I understand. Therefore, I would like to propose an offer. If you feel motivated to stay here in Equestria, you must prove yourself. Do you match the prophecy? I will watch for that. If you fail to match my expectation, or you simply give me the word, I'll transport you back. It is only a one-way trip because it takes a while to locate your universe. A week should be enough while I'm multitasking. Also, your motivation will speak fairly. If you aren't compatible with living here, I'll know. What do you say?"
I was speechless. By the gods, was it possible? I am really getting this choice? I smiled. "I would love that idea."
"Very well. For now, let's-"
"-PARTY!" Pinkie butted in.
***POV CHANGE: Applejack
"And ah was like, ain't nopony gon' harvest them many apples wi'out some machinery, so Big Mac comes out with a darn machine! He was like, 'you were sayin'?'" We all laughed at the corny joke like a group of drunk animals. Well, we were drunk. And we were prepared for a long night. "Come on, girls! Let's get payback on him!" Actually, it was supposed to be long. Guess not…
***POV CHANGE: Aaron Hoofington
A small creaking noise woke me up. It was the door opening.
"Hey, Twi. Sorry, I was late- Um. And I'll just go back to Rarity's…" Spike closed the door, embarrassed to see what was in front of him. Even I was surprised. I was on the floor… on top of a dog pile of ponies. I tried getting up, but you can't lift off seven ponies that probably weigh more than my skinny form each. I gave up and fell asleep.
***POV CHANGE: Princess Luna
I sighed. The last of the nighttime court was done, so I had the rest of the night and day to rest after being intruded on by my sister and it was so early by my standards. I recalled that day. It was saddening that Aaron was pulled in by my sister ever so rudely; he was probably having fun beforehand. But for some reason, he bucking enjoyed himself here, much to my disgust. Then again, it was worse by sleeping with him… kissing him…
I just wish I had the courage to say sorry.
Hey, guys! kuyakevs here! I just want to thank you guys for reading this far (as short as it seems.) I've wasted so much free time typing up because I faced numerous blocks here and there during this chapter. After two very helpful reviews, I've decided to change up one thing: BUCK rough drafts! I'll just type off the bat so somepony *COUGH* Newnawn *COUGH* won't have to point out something I forgot to type from my paper. Also, you may be wondering why an eighth grader is sleeping with the princess and drinking *COUGH* Newnawn *COUGH* Again! *WHEEZE* so I updated it. In case you didn't notice, Hoofington was held back for four years, and therefore, he isn't as mature as a nineteen-year-old would. Also, we would have to assume that the drinking age is lower in Equestria. Otherwise, we'd see Twi give Aaron an ironic lecture on how drinking isn't good for you during the party.
Yes, Newnawn, I sent you the same PM, but I decided to tell everypony.
Additionally, I think I switch from "everyone" and "everypony" as well as other similar words a lot. It's because Aaron is attempting to fit into Equestria without burdening them with trying to learn Earth's English. If I fail miserably and do it during any of the ponies' POV, we'll assume they're doing the same for Aaron.
I know assuming is bad for you, but I have survived school by leaving dormant assumptions throughout the day. Abuse the thought, and then the BAD stuff happens.
Thanks for reading and feel free to give me suggestions and point out possible revisions. I don't use rough drafts anymore.
