Hey everypony, the darkusnights here, this is the next chapter, the chapter where our OC meets the princess, ENJOY!
Chapter 3: The Princess, the party and me
I started to slowly open my eyes to the now setting sun, still scanning the area with my slightly opened eyes I noticed the was saying 4:00 pm, a few seconds passed before my mind was able to process the time and realized that the party was starting in two hours. I tried to jump off the bed, but ended on the floor with my face planted on the floor.
'Well, at least that hit woke me up.' I said while getting on my hooves. I shook my head to rid of my dizziness from the hit and the remaining sleep out of my system and started to quickly think of a schedule for the next two hours. Having decided on what to do I trotted down the stairs of the library and into the kitchen to have my breakfast/dinner. I opened the fridge and found a daisy sandwich and a little salad in a plate with a piece of paper attached to it and it said "Darkus", took out the plate and the piece of paper which was actually a note, I took a seat in the dinner table and began eating my sandwich while reading the note.
'Dear Darkus,
If you found this note it means you're eating the sandwich I made for you, I didn't want to disturb your sleep so I decide to make this note. Anyway to make it simple, I went out to make preparations for your party and the princesses arrival and I forgot to tell you yesterday, but I found some kind of bag laying next to you when you crashed the other day and I putted in the storage, so when you're done, go pick it up.
Your friend,
Twilight Sparkle.'
As I finished reading I looked around, looking for the storage she mentioned, I found it and eating the last of my sandwich and headed straight towards the storage, I reached the door to the storage and opened it and for my surprise it was the bag I had before getting to this world. I quickly retrieved it and opened it and found that everything was ok and nothing was missing, including the iPod. After making sure everything was in order I placed the bag in my room and went outside to start my schedule and tucking my iPod in place with an improvised holder I took off to my first destination which was carrousel boutique. The walk to Rarity's place was not a pleasant one, to tell you the truth I felt I was in a freaking harem anime so decided to quicken my pace. I was now at the door of the shop and knock a few times on the door.
"Coming" was all I heard inside shop and hooves step getting larger by the second. A white mare with violet mane and tail opened the and after a few seconds she broke the silence.
"You must be the alicorn we helped the other day… Darkus, right?" she said in a very friendly toned and her accent was just amazing, but at anyways I answered her question.
"Yes, that is me, but anyway I came here to shop so I look presentable to the princesses and I was wondering if I could browse you selection." I said in a very decent manner. She nodded and let me enter the store, everything was neatly ordered and they were a lot of clothes to choose from, I'll have to come back again to take a better look. My thoughts were interrupted by Rarity talking to me before heading to the back of the store.
"Browse all you want darling, I'm sure you'll find something." She said. I started to look around the shop to see if something caught my eye, after few minutes I was in the winter section of the shop even though it was the middle of summer I decided to take a look anyway. I was in front of the counter waiting for Rarity to come out, I had chosen some kind of fuzzy winter armlet(bracelet?), actually four, one for each leg. Looking at my IPod I saw that that the time was 4:45 pm. I touched the bell that was near me and almost instantly the mare came back. I was shocked at first but knowing the time I decided to ignore my thoughts and hooved her my stuff, she looked at me and at the winter garnets and asked.
"It's not winter yet why are you buying this?"
"Well for starters" I began. "I like their design and I don't know if Twilight told you but I'm kind of nocturnal so it's going to be cold and the color white combines with any kind of coat color." I said while I paid with my money which somehow turned to as they are known here as 'bits'. She nodded in agreement and proceeded to put my merchandise in a little saddle bag and with her magic, passing it to me.
"I must say, that you know your stuff about fashion." She said as I grabbed my bag with my magic and putting it in my bag.
"Thanks, a friend of mine is good with this kind of thing, so I might have picked a few things along the way and also, out of curiosity… is there a spa in ponyville?" I said.
"Yes there is one near here, that's where I usually go; the twin sisters Aloe and Lotus are great with their work, why do you ask?" She asked.
"Well I just want to look presentable to the princesses that's all, but thanks for the help Rarity." I said, while looking back and waving a hoove and exiting through the door. I started to walk towards the location of the spa, but something made me stop in my tracks and it was the sudden realization of where I was heading. 'Oh crap, twin sisters, I know this will not be a pleasant visit, I just hope there not that kind of twin sisters that have same colors but alternated, you know like white coat and orange mane and the other orange coat and white mane.' I said to my other self who was sitting in at the back of my mind. Sorry for not telling you, but I might have a little of multi personality disorder, just like Pinkie but a little worse, but I digress… to the spa.
Aloe and Lotus's spa 5:05 pm
After few minutes of walking… and asking directions I finally arrived at the front door. I stepped inside only to find myself in a whole different world, the aroma in the air was relaxing, it smelled like vanilla, the decoration was just amazing, plants, artificial waterfalls and ponds were found around the spa. As I walked near the counter I caught a glimpse of a blue mane, there was a bell at the counter so decide to touch it to try to get her attention. Immediately after touching the bell the mare in front of me revealed her face, her coat was lively pink.
'Aww she looks so cute, she looks exactly like a new born puppy and the eyes and color combination helps to.' I thought myself as we made eye contact. She looked at me with admiration and that was a good/bad sign, and you know what I mean.
"Hello there what brings to our humble spa?" She asked, her voice was like a soft blanket, warm and welcoming.
"Yes I came here to have a little bath and massage." I said as politely as I could. She nodded her head and lowered it as if looking for something, a few moments later she looked back up with a little pencil and notebook.
"Okay, Please tell me your name and we can get started.'' She said, rather excitedly.
"Name's Darkus and you are?" I said. She gave a cute giggle and answered back.
"My name is Aloe, and now that you mention your name are you the same Darkus that Rarity said that fell out of the sky?" She asked, eyeing me all over.
"I guess, but anyway they say that you have a sister can I meet her before we go on?" I said, while she was still looking at me.
"Yes of course you can, let me get her." She said in a excited tone and trotted through a door and disappearing from sight. While I was waiting, I heard slight giggles and noises.
'Oh crap what did I just do?' I thought to myself and out of nowhere there was another me but this one looked a lot more serious.
'You got yourself in trouble… again, but look at it this way… she's hot and I bet her sister is too.' The serious me told me, with a sly grin in his face.
'Quiet you, I do not have time for you nonsense brain, time is at the essence.' I told myself. He shrugged and started to walk away.
'Fine, but don't start to suffer internally, cause I'm going to cause you a headache if you do.' He said while giving an evil laugh. After the debate I had with myself, the door opened revealing Aloe and another pony that looked exactly like her only the color of mane and tail were reversed from Aloe. It took like five seconds to realize that the mare was her sister and what I said earlier came true, my pupils shrank and…
Inside Darkus's mind
I was on a cliff, looking at the scenery, angry waves of the ocean were hitting the base of the cliff, as harsh winds was blowing storming clouds and hitting me with strong gusts, making the black cape I was wearing move in a dramatic way.
'Damn I knew this day would come, curse me and my accurate future telling… it's all over for me now, goodbye cruel and cute world.' I said as I started to walk away from the cliff heading once again to the dark corridors of my mind.
Reality
My pupils returned to normal size and the two sisters were looking at me in a worried manner.
"Are you okay?" Asked Aloe, her eyes were shinning with worry… wait is that possible. I shook my head and gave the sister a warm smile.
"Yeah I'm okay, it's the stress that I'm having right now and that is why I came to you." I said, my smile never faltered.
"Oh, okay well in that case I will like to introduce you to my sister, Lotus." She said, looking at the mare beside her. I gave a warm smile and nodded at the mare, which cause her to shy away a little. I gave a little laugh to myself of such cuteness but decide to continue with business.
"Okay, now that we know each other, I'll let you to your work… so lead the way."I said excited. The mares face each other and nodded and started walking to a spa room and beckon me to follow them, I follow them through the door to see if these mares were "cut for the job" and close the door behind me.
Near ponyville party site 5:55 pm
"Oh my goodness those two were amazing, they were angelic with everything, and it almost took all of my stress."I said with glee, I was so light that I didn't notice that I was hovering off the ground towards the party and when I did notice I became happier, I took my IPod out of the holder using my magic and looked at the time, it was 5:58 pm.
"Oh crap I got to hurry the party is about to begin." I said my smile turning into scared, scared of being late. To quicken my pace I started flying fast to the party site and when I got there people were already were there so I descended and started to look for my friends.
Party site 6:30 pm
The party was awesome, everyone was dancing, eating and socializing, I was sitting in a table far away from the dance floor cause I was taking a break of the party, my friends were also sitting in the same table, but they looked extremely exhausted… except for Pinky, which I haven't seen her since the party started.
"Geez, I'm tired." Said Twilight, with an exhausted sigh.
"You tell me darling, it feels like hours." Said Rarity, lifting a glass of juice to her mouth with her magic.
Applejack and Fluttershy were too tired to talk, but judging their faces they were extremely tired and Rainbow Dash had stood back up and went partying again.
"What you're tired, but the party just started." I said, which in comparison I had more energy than my friends. They looked at me with annoyed glares and Twilight began speaking.
"You haven't partied in a Pinky party haven't you?" She asked.
"Yeah, this is my first time in this kind of party and to be honest, Pinky is a good party organizer." I said looking around for added emphasis.
"Don't get to comfortable sugarcube, Pinky's parties last for hours." Applejack managed to say in a exhausted voice.
"How long?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
"Well… the last one lasted for 8 hours long and were beat after that." Said Twilight and everyone was nodding approving her story. I gave a laugh causing my friends to look at me.
What'cha laughing about?" Applejack asked.
"Come on 8 hours, hahahaha, I've partied way more than that." I said with pride.
"For how long you've partied then?" Twilight asked.
"I have partied for 2 straight weeks." I said, still laughing and their look on their faces made me laugh more.
"Sweet Celestia, you can't be serious!" Said Rarity with widened eyes.
"I' am serious, the problem is that I don't remember halve of it."I said, at that moment the mayor of ponyville called out to everypony.
"Good evening mares and gentle colts, we are here to welcome our newest resident of ponyville, Darkus." She started saying causing to everypony to look at me and started stomping their hooves on the ground, I gave a little wave and everpony turned back to the mayor.
"But the main event is that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are coming here to visit us and…Oh here they come now." She said excited and pointing the sky. In the distance and getting closer rather quickly a gold carriage appeared and landed near the stage that was build.
"Everypony, here is princess Celestia." The mayor said, very excitedly. Out of the carriage and into the stage a beautiful alicorn stood, her coat was as white as snow and her mane and tail were rainbow colored. Everypony bowed, except for me. Twilight and the rest of my friends quickly ran to Celestia's feet and hugged her.
"Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed. The princess hugged her back in a motherly way and began looking at me.
"Hello my faithful student, it's been a while, is this the young alicorn you were writing me about?" She asked still looking at me.
"Yes, his name is Darkus and came to ponyville a few days ago." Said Twilight. The princess of the sun was still looking at me and beckons me to come up front. To tell you the truth, I was scared like shit, She was like perfection itself, but I knew that this kind of 'pony', if you set him off, it' could send you to hell itself, but regained composure and started walking towards her. I got right in from her and started speaking as sophisticated as I could.
"Princess Celestia, it is an honor for me to personally be in your presence." I said. I bowed down and extended my wings, symbol of great respect.
"My, my, an alicorn with manners, but come now, there's no need for such politeness, please rise." She said in a motherly voice. I rose from my bow and started looking around.
"Is there something bothering you?" Asked Celestia.
"Yeah, they said that Princess Luna was coming too, but where is she?" I asked. Celestia looked around for a few seconds and gave a hearty giggle.
"Well, she was with me when we got here, perhaps she's already wandering around the party… so what are we waiting for, let the festivities continue." She said. And everypony continued to party.
In a hill near the party site 9:00pm
I was running away towards this hill in front of me, why? Mares that's what. The harem thing happened again and they bombarded me with questions, I answered as many as I could but my head hurt, so took off the ground, escaping the deadly mares and landed outside of the circle and ran away, so here I 'am. To not get noticed, I hovered towards a sturdy branch in a tree that was on the hill and lay down. I was about to close my eyes, but I started to hear hooves steps, looked down and became amazed of what I saw, there on the foot of the tree sat an alicorn with cyan eyes and her mane was moderate cobalt blue, it was moving even though there was no wind and it had some kind sparkles in it. Her coat was dark sapphire blue (Thank you wiki for the help on the description). She was looking at the night sky, distracted from her surroundings. I decided to stop watching her and hovered down the branch, landing a little far from her. I approached her and broke the silence.
"Excuse me, but can I sit with you?" I said to her in a quiet tone, careful to not startle her, either way she jumped a little and looked back, we stared for a few before she started looking at the sky again.
"Y-Yes you may." She said. She sounded nervous, but I shrugged it off and went to sit next to her. I sat near her and began to look at the sky too, a few moments passed and I decided to break the silence.
"You know, Princess Luna did a remarkable job with the sky tonight, it's just amazing." I said, turning to see her face. Her cheeks were crimson red and she turned to look at me and gave me an approving nod, before looking at the sky again.
"Pardon me for being rude, but may I ask your name?" I asked politely. She looked at me and turned even redder and shied a little from me, but she spoke up.
"M-my name i-is Luna…"
So how was it, was it good,was it bad, those the ending was epic, anyway comment and spread the word among you people about this story, PEACE OUT!
