So here is chapter two
Review for content only, unless I made a grammar mistake that's obvious. Still meed a name for Rainbow Dash and Big Macintosh's foal. Any and all suggestions taken.
The sun shone through the window onto my face warming my cheeks as I slowly woke up. I let out a relaxed sigh as I looked down at Fluttershy's head on my chest. She looked so beautiful when she was sleeping. I kissed the top of her head and gave her a quick hug before getting out of bed. I cast a quick silent footsteps spell and put the covers back up to her chin. She snuggled down deeper into the sheets. Just keep sleeping 'Shy. I walked out of the room and headed over to the tub. It had been rigged up the same way as my sister's, siphoning water out of the air. Mine however was heated with magic as I felt like I needed to be sure it would never break down. Today I decided I deserved a nice long bath. I set the water to run until it reached the brim of the tub.
As I waited for the water to fill up I went to the kitchen to put on some coffee. I teleported my dragon who's about the size of a small pony by now up to the kitchen from Ponyville. A red little dragon popped up next to the chair I was sitting in. He flew over and landed on the kitchen table. I fuigured I'd check in with the development of his training with Twilight and her dragon, Spike.
"Hey there Blaze, how's it goin' trying to teach Twilight's dragon about being a dragon?"
"Well, to be honest, he's making good progress. Ya know, he's only a year and a half younger than me. It's fun to play with another dragon and all, but why can't I stay up here with you? Please. I can help you finish your new book. You'll have more time to yourself and Fluttershy. Please!"
"Now Blaze, you know I promised Twilight she could have your help until my new movie comes out. Plus you know Applejack's new adopted dragon would hate for you to leave her."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Sapphire Apple. Maybe I can wait a little longer to come and live here. If Applejack lets her, can Sapphire visit every now and then?" The little dragon kicked the ground bashfully. He then flew over onto my outstretched foreleg. He had his arms crossed as he put his wings down.
"Sure why not."
"So why did you bring me up here?"
"I want you to get a letter to my mother telling her where I am. She's been hovering over me lately. If she doesn't know where I am she might just tear up Equestria looking for me. Just make sure you don't mention I'm with 'Shy. She's been asking awkward questions lately." I blushed and gave a nervous chuckle.
"Okay..." he writes something down and sends it off with a breath of purple fire."I told her you're with a 'friend'."
"Thanks...that's definitely better." I added sarcastically. Blaze smiled sheepishly. He let out a nervous laugh.
"Well if that's all, can you teleport me back, I've got to get some training in for Spike. He just had a growth spurt so he's adjusting. He might be as big as me by the end of the year, minus the wings of course. It's too bad he doesn't have any himself."
"Yeah it is...Well I guess I'll send you back then. See ya later Blaze." My white tipped horn pulsated with a steady purple that signified my normal magical aura. As the purple slowly extended to surround Blaze I began feeding magic to the spell. As it ebbed slightly at my essence, the glow of purple faded to nothing, taking my little dragon back to ponyville.
I cantered over to the now full bath and turned off the water. I sank slowly in, making sure to keep my wings extended so they'd wash off. The water was warm and smelled faintly of vanilla. Yet another one of the small things that Fluttershy did that makes me love her even more. Ever since I had awoken to waffles in her house, I had been trying to figure out what my sister had told her about me. When I was in high school I had a shrine for her, and I hope that is something my sister didn't tell her about. Ohhhh this water is sooooo warmmmm... I slowly sank beneath the water and kept nothing but my eyes above the water. I soaked in the water for at least ten minutes, letting the grime and sweat from last night rinse off. Suddenly I heard an upbeat song outside of my window. Then I saw the ballon from a hot air balloon peeking through the window.
"Hey Thunder! What's up?" A familiar DJ called out as I suddenly jumped out of the water and grabbed a towel.
"Geez Vinyl, don't you think you give me a little warning before you peek in my bathroom window. I mean really, what if I had been here with Fluttershy?"
"Well then I'd get a free show." She smirked as she lowered her shades. "But seriously this is important. The Second Annual Pony Awards are coming up. I need you to be co-host again. Think you can do that? It's at the Canterlot Royal Music Hall. Call your aunt if you accept. She's sponsoring it and she'll want to know. Well, see ya later. Good luck on your race against Rainbow today." Oh crap the race. I totally forgot.
My sister had called last night telling me that she had today off and wanted to race. She hadn't said much else, or I didn't remember anything. It was really late.
"Thanks Vinyl, oh, can you tell Jimmy I said Hi? I've got his next song ready whenever he wants to come up." I smiled thinking of the pony I wrote songs for. Poetry came with my special talent, and songs hadn't been too much of a stretch.
"No prob, he'll be happy to hear from ya. Bye. Don't forget about the show!"
"Bye. I won't!"
As she flew off in her balloon I walked into the kitchen after drying off my wings and mane. I put together two salads with some strawberries. Fluttershy had woken up by the time I was done and walked over to me. She was a mess. Her hair was plastered to her head. Her hind legs were swollen and she had hoofprints on her flank. Her lips were swollen and her normal polite smile had been replaced by one of immense satisfaction.
"Good morning Clipsy. Think you can save me some breakfast? I'm gonna go wash up."
"Sure, no problem. Don't take too long, I've still got that race against my sister." I gave her a quick peck on the lips while I caressed her with my hoof.
"Mmmmh...Didn't you get enough of me last night Thunder?" Fluttershy gave me a cute little accusing glare that I couldn't help but laugh at. I kisser her once more.
"Just hurry up and go get washed up. We've got a big day ahead of us. It's the first day we've been able to spend off together in over a month. First we should probably ask my mom about that vacation though. I think all the royal alicorns should get a vacation, we work too hard. I mean one day can't leave the country in ruins." Or can it?
"Yeah I guess you're right. I'll be out in ten minutes." She fluttered over to the bathroom where she turned on the water and closed the door. We may be a thing now, but there's no way we're going to give up common decency.
About ten minutes later Fluttershy came out with a blow dryer in her hoof. Her pink hair was starting to get its curl back as it dried off. I grabbed her breakfast and our things and we left into the early morning sky. As we flew down into Canterlot, I saw my mother flying below over to my aunt's chambers. Uh-oh, maybe I should wait in the royal hall instead of her room. It looks like she's gonna be busy for a while.
"Hey Fluttershy, let's head over to the royal hall. We should be able to get a private meeting with my mother and aunt there."
"Thunder, we could just fly over to your aunt's room. I saw your mom go in there."
I really didn't want to deal with her when I knew she was right. And she was beginning to get that look in her eyes that meant she was gonna be assertive. I really didn't wanna go up against that. If she scared my mom when she tried to get her to leave me, I'd hate to see what she'd do to me.
"Alright, let's go then."
We flew over to the balcony and lightly set down. They seemed in an important conversation about somepony named Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. They looked up when we opened the window.
"Fluttershy, Thunder, to what do we owe the pleasure of your greetings this morning." Celestia replied to us. Well, here we go.
"Hi aunt Celestia, hi mom. Well we were thinking that we haven't spent much time together since I became a prince and all, me being Fluttershy, and Rainbow and her coltfriend. So I was wondering if we could go on a little vacation, maybe to the Marribean, or even the Fillypines. Just for a week or so. Hopefully soon." I smiled hopefully. I really wanted them to say yes.
"What, don't you want to stay for your cousin's wedding?" A new voice rang out from behind me in the doorway. A smaller faint pink alicorn walked into the room. I realized I knew this pony. Memories of hours spent after school practicing magic came back to me. She was my magic tutor in high school. Since I had been an alicorn I had been given the only other non- princess alicorn as my tutor. We had been as close as Rainbow and Fluttershy. She was the only pony who I could relate too, on a level of dual responsibility. I could always go to her involving questions about the more...awkward...points of alicorn maturation.
"Cadence? Is that you? What are you-Wait... you're a princess? Why didn't you tell me? How come nobody told me that she was my cousin after I was brought here? Wait, more importantly, why didn't you tell me you were a princess when you were my tutor? I wouldn't have been so rude if I'd known. Wait did you say you're getting married?" I rambled on until I ran out of air and began to pant.
"Hang on there Thunder, first of all. I'm here on royal buisness. Yes I'm a princess. I didn't tell you because I was dating my fiancee, and nobody told you because they thought you knew. I also didn't tell you because you weren't the only colt or filly I watched or tutored. And yes I'm getting married. I went to Cloudsdale yesterday looking for you. I wanted you to be the ring-bearer. But the strangest thing happened. They told me you were in Canterlot under orders of princess Luna and Celestia. Little did I know that you were actually here because you were the son of Aunt Luna. So, 'will' you be the ring bearer at my wedding little cousin?"
My mind was in a haze, the very thought that she wanted me to be ring bearer was shocking. Nobody ever wanted me to do important things, it might have had to do with my tendency to pull a Derpy at the worst times.
"Yes. Yes! I'll do it. I can't believe we're cousins. Finally, I'm not alone!" I noticed Fluttershy glaring at me angrily. "I mean, you know, not alone as this generation's royalty. I'm never alone with you Fluttershy. Heh heh. Do I know the lucky stallion? Is he a prince, is he a unicorn? Is he a pegasus?" I had so many questions going on in my head, but I kept myself under a little control.
"You may not know him, but you know his sister, in fact she lives in your old house I'm told?"
"Rarity?" She was living in my old bookstore, which I renovated to fit her needs.
"Nope. She doesn't have a brother." She looked at me playfully.
"Vinyl?" She was living in the house we had shared in college with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"Nope, guess again silly."
I could only think of one other pony who was living in one of my old houses...and the thought wasn't too thrilling.
"Twilight? You're marrying her brother!" I must've sounded a bit disappointed, because she gave me a questioning glance.
"What, do you have anything against her?"
"No, it's just..." here I paused and pawed the ground nervously. "She's sort of a bookworm...to put it nicely, I mean won't her brother be the same way?"
Here I was tapped on the shoulder by a large unicorn in heavily gilded armor. He smirked at me, then put me in a headlock and ruffled my hair. Ugh, Pello is gonna kill me.
"Now who's this here making fun of Twighly?"
