Chapter 4, Work and Nick
I woke up with a bitter and dry taste in my mouth
I ran to a sink and started gulping down water
Fluttershy woke up and softly laughed
"You okay?" She asked
"Yeah" I said panting for air
"Here" She said handing me a bottle of Rainbows
"What's this going to do?" I asked
"My Friend Rainbow Dash told me that it cures hangover" She said
I drank the bottle and my tongue felt a fury of various tastes
"Thank you" I said hugging her
She blushed and said, "its no problem"
We walked outside and then I said, "I need to find a job"
"What do you have in mind?" She asked
"I don't have anything in mind" I said sighing
I saw something moving out in the everfree forest
"Fluttershy, what is that?" I asked
"I dont know, ive never seen anything like it" She said sounding concerned
The creature began to slowly walk toward us
It did not look friendly
I could slowly make out what it was
Then, It dove out at us
"it" Was Nick
"Nick?" I asked
"Move Tristan, along time ago I told you I was going to kill the first pony I saw" He said
"No!" I said moving in front of Fluttershy
"Tristan, don't make me fight you" He said
"Challenge accepted" I said
Fluttershy seemed grateful that I was defending for her, but not grateful, because of how good of a fighter Nick was.
I ran at Nick,
He literally YAWNED, and swung a punch at me, that nearly knocked me off my hooves
By this point, a crowd was starting to surround us
He was a VERY large Pink and Purple unicorn
I ran at him once more, and he knocked me off of my hooves
"Ready to give up yet?" He asked
"I will never give up. I will defend her with my life" I said
"Is that so?" A loud voice from the back of the crowd asked
Princess Celestia emerged from the large crowd of ponies
"P-Princess!" Fluttershy said bowing down
"Tristan, I wish for you to come speak with me" She said gesturing to me
"Okay..?" I said walking to her carriage
Fluttershy walked over with us
Princess Celestia was about to object, but I said, "Please, let her come, she is my marefriend"
Princess celestia got a small smile and then nodded
It was a short, quiet, and just plain awkward ride to the castle
When we finally arrived we walked into a large room with guards all around it
Princess Celestia led us into a smaller room labeled, "Conference room"
"Come have a seat you two" She said
I sat down in one of the chairs (Needless to say it was the least comfortable thing I had ever sat in)
Princess Celestia sighed and said, "I can't believe the time is already here"
"What?" I asked
"What?" Fluttershy repeated
"The prophecy" Princess Celestia said
"What prophecy?" I asked
"In good time" She said
"Okay..?" I said
"Well, I saw how intensely you guarded for Fluttershy, no matter how outmatched you were, and I think I have something you might like to see" She said
We walked down a short corridor with a bunch of Guards standing around
"Stallions, I have an important announcement to make" Celestia said
They all whispered and murmured amongst themselves
"I need assistance" She said
"Your majesty?" Shining armor asked walking out from a crowd
"I have been reading a prophecy and I think It would be best if one of you came with Tristan to Ponyville, to help him guard it" She said
"What?" I asked
"I will your majesty" Shining armor said
"Excellent, but I will need you to leave your armor here, I need both of you to be in disguise" She said
"Yes your majesty" He said
"Tristan come with me" Shining armor said walking into a corridor
"Okay" I said
"I-I'll just wait with The Princess" Fluttershy said
"Okay" I said following shining armor
I walked down the corridor and ended up in a small armoury
"Here" Shining armor said handing me a small blade
It was made of iron with a small ruby encrusted in the center, The hilt was made of gold.
"It was made special for you by the princess" He said
"It's awesome!" I said putting it into its sheath
"I'm glad you like it" He said
I walked with him back down the corridor, after strapping the sword on my back
"Here" Princess Celestia said handing me a brown bag
I opened it and inside was 100 bits
"Thank you" I said bowing down
"Its nothing, now return to Ponyville, Ponyville needs you" She said
Fluttershy, Shining armor, and I got on the royal carriage and flew back to Ponyville
"Where will you stay?" I asked
"Probably with my sister, Twilightsparkle" He said
"Okay" I said
Fluttershy and I got out of the Carriage back at her house
Shining armor rode off to Twilights house
It was dark out so we went inside
We walked back upstairs
I sat my sword down on a shelf, and Laid down in the bed with her
"I love you" I said snuggling up close to her
I could feel her warm breath on me
"I love you too" She said
And we fell asleep
(A/n sorry this chapter took so long, I wasn't sure if it was any good or not, but ill leave that up to all of you *Cough cough review cough cough*)
