Damn. My trip with my family was cancelled for whatever reason. Could be news, could just be my family. They never say much. Yeah, that sounds like Peaches story, and your correct. I had to find a quick backstory before losing this story idea.

Alrighty, see you at the end.

"What's wrong? What's happening? Peaches," Luna stomped her hoof. "Tell me what's going on!"

It's been months since the incident with Celestia. I was able to be around the public by then. Unfortunately, I never did see Celestia for a while, but when I did, she tried her best to hide the sadness. Note the word, "tried." I kept spending time in Ponyville, hoping to wait it out. I felt awful everyday, but I began relying on the voice on my head.

It's better this way.

Immortality.

Royalty.

Don't take any risks.

Much to my dismay, I always saw the same dream from Celestia. While using the ring to check up on Soul Pussy's sleepless nights, I tended to stop at Tia's and stand there. Once again, we traveled to the same dream until Luna got sick of it.

"Nothing! I-"

"You always scratch the back of your head when you lie."

Removing my hand from my head, I glared out her. "Don't worry about it!"

"This involves our sister, so I am worrying about it!"

I paused. "You..."

Tears began to form. "Peaches," Luna cried, "this has never happened before. Please tell us what's happening to Celestia!" She turned away. "Did you ever notice that the day court is always empty? Or are you so ignorant that you've been staying away from her? You know, I was called into her chambers a couple weeks into her isolation. The face she wore, or lack of, was scary. I didn't know what to say that night. The lack of happiness, hue, hope. Do you know what she looked like? She didn't look like anything. She looked dead. Do you understand that? You killed her, Peaches. You. Bucking. Killed. Tia. She died inside, and she hates you for it."

This sudden outburst shocked me. It was random, yet it felt like it was right. "What? H-hates...," I mumbled, looking down at my hands. "I... kill...k-killed." I backed away feeling the door to exit the dream world. Putting my hands on my head and sinking to the ground, I sobbed like a bitch. It was a lot to take in, not to mention it wasn't the usual news. Luna tried to console me, but I pushed her off.

"Peaches, I'm sorry. I just-"

"No." I stood up. "This is my fault." I opened the door behind. "I need to go."

"What do you mean by 'go?'"

She closed the door. I turned my head at her. "Simply said, tell Tia I said, 'sorry.'"

"No, Peaches, you can't leave."

Feeling a rush of anger, I grabbed her and slammed her on the door, screaming. "What do you want? Do you want some apology that won't do shit? God, fucking hell, Luna, there isn't one day I wish I could be with her, but you know what? I can't do it. I don't want to do this to her!"

"Then, go to her now, hold her, and tell her."

"But-"

"Peaches, I can't let you leave with this mess running about. Leaving will only create more problems."

"I can't-"

"I want you to promise." Luna grabbed my hand, wrapping it with her hooves. "Promise you will see her. Once things go right, you can leave."

"Luna, this is stupid!"

"Promise me."

I sighed. I definitely felt bad, but I decided to take the cowards way out. I lied to her face.

"I promise."

I let her go, and I left to prepare my stuff.

"Sorry...," I whispered, uncrossing my fingers. Once reaching my room, I locked it, ordering the guards to keeping everyone out. Looking for anything inportant, I packed clothes, food I had smuggled, a bottle of whiskey from the case, a dagger for safety, and finally, a photo from Celestia's umpteenth birthday. Closing the backpack, I opened the window.

As if on cue, I heard loud knocking.

"Peaches! Are you inthere?"

Bitch shit on a wheel of fuckery.

"I'm coming in, okay?"

Quickly, I dropped the rope. "Come on," I said under my breath. "Please reach the bottom."

In my rush, I forgot one thing.

Did you remember to knot it?

I tried to grab for the rope, but it was too fast. I groaned - a bit too loud.

The door slid open, and she saw what was happening, gasping. I tried to look for my backup bed sheet to try to parachute in. I got it, and I made a mad dash for the window, only to by held back by a certain pony.

"Soul Patch?"

He simply nodded. I noticed the bloodshot eyes, and I felt bad for what I did. I gave him my thanks before being double bitch-slapped by both princesses. I looked at the guard, who smirked before leaving.

"Peaches," Luna asked, "what was that?"

Celestia simply sat there, embracing me tightly.

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't do it!"

"Why?"

"Because I can't love her."

I felt the white pony's embrace leave. She looked at my with great concern and hurt. She was obviously asking for an explanation, but I didn't know what to say. Lying would hurt. Honesty would hurt. Fuck.

"Fine, I'll tell you! Do you want to know why? I don't think your 'little ponies' would look up to a princess with an alien, especially a common-blood! Not to mention, I would die, and you'd deal without me! I can't let you suffer like that. I..." There it was again. The same princesses who sat out through everything I had to say. As soon as I ran out of breath, they hugged me.

For some reason, Celestia began to laugh.

"I can understand your worries," she caressed my cheek, "but all of these can be solved if you had told me." I held her hoof. "You do realize we have a whole library of spells, and everypony will soon accept you. Luna and I will help you like we always have."

Luna nodded. "Indeed." With a grin, she looked at a fake watch. "Wow, it looks like the night court is over, but I need to tend to the dream world. See you two later!" As the door closed, I could here very loud kissing noises followed by shits and giggles.

I turned to Celestia. "I'm sorry for being so childish."

"Don't worry, Peaches. We aren't the ones writing our life (hint, hint) but we can try to make the most of it. Everything that happened can, and will be, forgiven on one condition."

"What is it?"

"Well...," she nervously traced a circle with her hoof on the bed. "The Grand Galloping Gala is tomorrow. Would you, um..."

I chuckled. "Sure thing, Tia." She responded by clapping her hooves together.

"Great! Meet me at the front of the ballroom!"

I asked, "What do I wear to this? I don't have any fancy clothing." Following that response, a full suit was tossed at me. "How...?"

"Have you heard of Lyra Heartstrings? She was the only person who had a great knowledge on humans before you showed up. She had Rarity make it for her a long time ago. Faust knows why... Anyway, check if they fit!"

My face turned red. "R-right now?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Uh, remember what I told you about clothes?"

"So...? Last time I checked your dreams, you didn't mind me watching."

I turned even darker. "Okay!" I stuck my face in front of her. "Just don't tell anyone!" I began by taking off my worn shirt, exposing my bare chest. This prompted Celestia to giggle.

"Wow." She ogled at me, so I threw my shirt at her. The disgust on her face as she sputtered complaints was priceless. "Ugh! It's all sweaty!"

"Good. Now I can change without you looking."

The clothes actually fit, so I held onto them. Before Celestia left, I wanted to tell her something. "Tia?" I smiled at her. "I just wanted to tell you..."

She smiled back, lovingly.

"I know."

Holie fuken shet I messed up. I want to fix this, but I made a bet with my brother. It involved 1000+ words per chapter everyday. I'd hate to do this, but I could buy shit to help me with a couple hundred. Wish me luck, and sorry!

Any HELPFUL criticism is embraced and accepted.
