Chapter 4

We last left Raveon and Avery when they were doing "nothing" on the train suite on their way to Canterlot, but clearly they were almost about to do something. Let's move on.

Raveon sat on his seat reading the next chapter in his spell book while thinking about what almost happened.

Raveon: Wow if that conductor hadn't walked in, who knows what would've happened. I don't know what to think anymore. Whenever I look at her I think about the human version of her. If that conductor pony hadn't had walked in, I…I…I wouldn't control myself around her.

Avery: "Hey you reading that spell Twilight bookmarked for you?"

Raveon: "Uh yeah. It's something about walking on clouds for 24 hours. I have to remember that."

Avery: (scoots over closer) "Raveon?"

Raveon: "Yeah?"

Avery: "Sorry about that moment back in our room."

Raveon: "You kidding me? That was my fault. I'm the one that slip and got on top of you. That sounded awkward just now. (blushing)

Avery: "That sounds really good to me."

Raveon looked at her wide eyed.

Avery: "I can't believe I just said that!"

Raveon: "Hey it's okay. I kinda felt the same way."

Avery:…

Raveon: "Avery?"

Avery:…"We'r-"

Raveon: "Hey what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Avery: "We're here Raveon! Canterlot."

Raveon turned around and saw the most high class and sophisticated city ever. Raveon and Avery looked at Canterlot with bright eyes. They saw coffee shops, a high-class restaurant, a theater, and an art gallery. Canterlot is truly amazing.

Avery: "Isn't Canterlot the most beautiful site you ever did see."

Raveon: "2nd most beautiful site."

Avery: (blushing) "They uh have a whole bunch of places we can see like the theater and some art."

Raveon: "Yeah. Can't wait. Okay Twilight said that there is a hotel for us in the castle. Just talk to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

Avery: "Okay."

They both get off the train station with their bags and look around for Canterlot castle.

Raveon: "According to this tour map, Canterlot Castle should be North this way." (pointing straight ahead)

Avery: "Seems very far."

Raveon: "Don't worry. I'll carry you."

Avery: (blushing) "Thanks." (looks up) "RAVEON LOOK OUT!"

High-class pony: "Hey! Outta the way, you rube!"

Raveon: "HEY! I'M WALKING HERE!"

High-class pony: "Peasants. Hmph!"

Raveon: "Peasants?! Why I oughta-"

Avery: (grabs his tails with her teeth)

Raveon: "YOWCH! That hurts. That actually hurts."

Avery: "Sorry. Just let him go. He's not worth it."

Raveon: "And how are you a peasant? You're rich Avery."

Avery: "I never been to Canterlot. Only my father. Everypony who's seen my father here probably doesn't know he even has a daughter. My father is a unicorn."

Raveon: "You're an Earth pony. How's that possible?"

Avery: "My mother. She was an Earth pony."

Raveon: "Was?"

Avery: "She died."

Raveon: "I'm so sorry."

Avery: "Thank you. Now let's go find that castle."

Then from out of nowhere, a royal carriage carried by two royal guard pegasi landed in front of them.

Royal guard #1: "Raveon Brooks and Avery Cooper?"

Raveon: "That's us."

Royal guard #2: "Come with us. Princess Celestia is expecting you."

The guard flew high up into the sky heading straight toward the castle.

Raveon: "This is amazing! Isn't it Avery? Avery?"

Raveon saw Avery frozen in fear. She became afraid heights ever since she fell off the ledge at the ancient castle and Raveon saved her.

Avery: (scared) "I'm fine."

Raveon: "You sure?"

Avery: (squeaky voice) "Yes."

They arrived at the castle and are greeted by Princess Celestia. With Princess Luna right behind her.

Raveon: (bows) "Nice to see you again Princess."

Princess Celestia: Raveon Brooks, my new star student, it certainly has been a while. Twilight sent a letter telling me you would be here for a day. I'm impressed that you would see the rest of Equestria. Who is this young mare?"

Avery: "Avery Cooper your highness."

Princess Celestia: (leans toward Raveon) "She's a keeper."

Raveon: "Princess." (blushing)

Princess: "I would like you both to meet my younger sister, Princess Luna. Little sister this is Raveon."

Princess Luna: "Ah yes the human."

Raveon: "Uh nice to meet you Princess Luna."

Princess Luna: "Charmed. My sister I must go."

Princess Celestia: "Of course."

Raveon: "Something tells me your sister doesn't like humans."

Princess Celestia: "Oh no dear. It's just that she doesn't know if you can be trusted."

Raveon: "Oh."

Princess Celestia: "Do not worry about it sweetie. Let me show you two to your room."

Raveon: "Room as in one single room?"

Princess Celestia: "Apologies. Some of the rooms are full and other rooms are still being cleaned. It will take all day for the maids to finish. This is the only one available."

Raveon and Avery looked at the room. They blushed. Plenty of room to put their bags and there was only one bed.

Raveon: "This will be okay."

Avery: "It will?"

Raveon: "Yeah we can totally make this work."

Princess Celestia: "I'll leave you two to get settled. Enjoy your stay."

Avery: "Thank you Princess." (closes door) "How can we make this work?"

Raveon: "You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on that chair over there."

Avery: "Oh Raveon. That doesn't look comfortable."

Raveon: "It's okay. I insist."

Avery: "Okay I guess." I wanted you to sleep with me.

Raveon: As much as I want to be right by her side in bed, I'm not sure she would be comfortable. "I'll be okay. Don't worry about me."

Raveon and Avery have arrived at Canterlot castle. Where will they go first? Find out in Chapter 5.
