#37
"You seemed a bit too overconfident in there, do you really have a plan to take down Celestia and her friends?" K asked. He was sitting on the bed, checking on the guitar's tune and checking for any flaws, luckily for him, he didn't find none.
Chrysalis paused and turned away from the pony-sized mirror to look at K. She obviously wasn't feeling as lively as she did at the table and K had taken notice.
"Of course!" She replied, chuckling to hide the worry she felt. K wasn't easily fooled, he could see through her like a book or maybe that's because he still possessed the skill to read minds.
"Oh really? Wanna know two good tips?" K asked, his serious tone alerted Chrysalis that he was onto her. Chrysalis turned back to the mirror but she could still see K in the reflection, studying his guitar as he caressed the strings slowly.
Chrysalis swallowed gently before taking in a deep breath. "Sure."
K looked at her face through the mirror and a small smirk appeared on his face. He placed the guitar to his side on the bed and placed up two fingers. Chrysalis stared at K's fingers through the reflection and lifted an eyebrow.
"One, never underestimate your opponent, always go into battle using minor force that way you can catch your opponent off guard and get a chance to eliminate them and slowly find out their strategies," K explained folding in one finger leaving one out, his index finger.
Chrysalis cocked her head slightly, studying his last standing finger. "And what's that last one?"
"Two, there are no limits to your power," K bluntly stated closing in his last finger before grabbing his guitar and hopping off the bed.
Chrysalis turned to him, not looking at him through the mirror anymore. "What does that mean?"
"It means, you can always surpass the power of others, even if they out number you, you will always have the strength to fight all of them inside you," K chuckled approaching Chrysalis and looking down at her. "It's on you if you wish to channel this power hidden within your body. But then again, that's easier said than done."
Chrysalis understood well, but she could only ponder what her body can muster up without her army of changelings to back her up, now it seems she needs them more than ever. K popped another chuckle as he took a seat on the ground next to her and scooted in closer, making it look like the friendly bro-friend conversations boys have in movies. Chrysalis looked at him, slightly glad he was there and slightly nervous of what he was doing.
"You know, you have the strength of that army of changelings inside you, whether you believe it or not," K eased out in a breath, looking straight at the floor. Chrysalis turned to him dumbfounded by what he brought up, as if he had read her mind.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" She asked. K smiled his smile and turned to her with it which made her shiver and glance away for a second to calm down a bit.
"I'm a bit of a physic or a fool when it comes to knowing how someone feels, but still, you are stronger than all of them put together," K deeply expressed sounding like the wiseass romantic he is, if no one knew what he was they would say he's one for the shy ones. Chrysalis couldn't stand his words, he was so unlike when she first met him it was funny, she let out a giggle before smiling. K smiled in accomplishment and ran his hand through her silky hair.
"Not a bad smile you got there, you should show it off more," He complimented.
"Oh, hush up! You're gonna flatter me when I'm I need to prepare myself for a battle I must fight alone?"
"Alone!? Non-sense! You got me and Ben too, we will be right there with you!"
"Will you two be enough?"
"Chrysalis…remember when we first met and I tried to power up just a little bit and Twilight interrupted me?" K asked seriously, trying to prove a point. Chrysalis quickly understood and chuckled nervously, pondering why she ever doubted his strength.
"Yeah, I remember, and I'll admit you terrified me with all that magical power," She expressed before slowly becoming a bit serious as she stopped chuckling and eased out an observation that obviously intrigued her. "It was so…destructive,"
"Yeah, but I can do a lot more than destruction!"
"Like?"
"Well, there plenty, let's see…I can capture souls, destroy souls, eat souls, heal but only those who have a shared soul with me, teleport, share my energy, fuse with others-" K was quickly cut off by Chrysalis questioning that last thing he said before being interrupted.
"You can fuse with others?"
"Yeah, well sorta, I got three ways!" K explained placing up three fingers now and showing them off to her. She stared at his fingers before lifting an eyebrow. "And they are…?"
K nodded and folded back one finger. "Yeah, first method only involves those who share my soul in them, which is Fluttershy and Ben-"
"Wait up, Fluttershy has some of you in her!?" Chrysalis interrupted. K nodded as he smiled childishly. "Yes, she's going to need it so I gave her part of it, believe me, I made the right choice." K reassured her.
Chrysalis thought to herself before looking to K. "What about me?"
K sighed and shook his head negatively.
"I'm sorry but I can't, If I were to do another soul emerge…I will suffer for it with a torturous death, if I could I would, but I can't…I'm sorry," He apologized using his hands to demonstrate how his soul and body would just collapse on itself. Chrysalis got the point and quickly retracted any thoughts about ever asking that again before meeting him with a smile
"It's alright, tell me the other two," She approached with a slightly enthusiastic tone which lifted K's spirits enough for him to smile and nod back.
"Right, my second way is fusion dance, but I need to test to see if it works."
"A dance? That's odd."
"Yeah, the third way is even odder, I read it in one of Twilights books…apparently, if there is a strong enough bond between two creatures, a fusion will occur when they kiss passionately and if fusion is the intended purpose, I have to test that one out too," K explained with his hand to his chin, thinking it through seriously. Chrysalis slightly jumped and perked up as K closed his eyes and pondered it deeper.
"Why don't we test it…I mean if you want? Do you?" She asked leaning in a bit closer to him. K smirked before opening his eyes and rustling her mane playfully. She blushed but not strong enough since K shook his head to that too.
"I would like to, but there's one problem with that, I don't know how to unfuse from that type of fusion, what if we end up getting stuck and right before this concert?" K warned making her think. She sighed as she nodded disappointed by the letdown.
"Oh yeah, good point…"
K smiled once more before rustling that mane of hers again making her quickly look up at him blushing like K wanted her to.
"But we still got a whole day ahead of us…who knows, we might just find the time,"
Chrysalis couldn't stop that smile from coming back, it was the K Effect at its max. She giggled as he finally let her mane go and she brushed it aside with her hoof. "Only time will tell."
"Exactly."
After a few minutes, K was off the ground and with his guitar in one hand and a closed fist on the other as he stared out a window of his room. Only in those few minutes of staring out the window he realized his passion for looking down below maybe hundreds of feet at such a sight. Chrysalis was staring at him from the bed with a slight smile, her smile wasn't a surprise when she was alone with him in a room. She looked low and noticed his guitar in his hand and used her magic to bring the guitar to her. K had a late reaction from looking out the window and turned to her in almost a half-minute later when she ran her magic through all the strings and jumped from the sound it made.
"Uh…how does this work?" She asked adjusting the guitar to the perfect playing style suitable for her with her magic. K lifted an eyebrow with a slightly surprised expression showing his growing excitement.
"The guitar?" He asked moving up to her and taking a seat on the bed next to her. She looked up to him and nodded. "Yeah, it makes music but how?"
He chuckled as he aimed his fingers at the sections of string on the neck of the guitar, "Use your magic and hold down these three down and then strum all the first three strings and then all of them."
Chrysalis followed the steps accordingly and bit down on her tongue as she used her magic to do as he said. "Like this?"
"Right, now first three strings then all of them, do it smoothly and with a timed flow."
She looked down at the guitar as she concentrated highly on it and did as he said and strummed it like he told her. The sound gave her shivers of adrenaline as it sounded beautiful and released her excited laughter. She turned to K baffled over what she had just done and K returned it with a, "Ta-da!"
"Here's a harder one, repeat the first steps and once you finish that, change the strings you're pressing on to these ones and strum the first three strings two times, and then change it back to the original step I told you," K said indicating the strings and how to achieve it.
Chrysalis nodded and easily placed her magic where it belonged, K studied her carefully with a smile as she took a deep breath. She did the first step before perfectly combining the steps K set her up with and her expression was the greatest, she nearly got a urge to continue but stopped when she realized she got a bit too into it.
"Sounds beautiful, am I right?" K asked with a cocky tone, knowing the answer from Chrysalis's over excited look.
"Y-yeah, umm…" Chrysalis chuckled before stopping and remaining silent, trying to get K's attention. K looked to her and lifted an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
Chrysalis blushed as she looked away before pushing the guitar up to K's chest, K let out a bit of air as the guitar hit his chest and placed his hands under the guitar as he stared at her.
"Do you have time?" She asked plucking a string on the guitar.
K chuckled as he grabbed the guitar and made adjusted it to his body. "Yeah…I got time."
I was upside down again and I could feel my sword sliding out of its holster. I was probably about six feet off the ground and I could see Twilight and Trixie arguing with this Starlight Glimmer, trying to convince her to put me down. I ignored them for the while as I slowly spun around and noticed the room I was in, pretty fancy with nice decorations and comfortable furniture. Once I completed a full 360 I was looking back at Starlight with my hands crossed across my chest and a daring smirk going about; I was gonna be extra cheeky to get down from here.
"Hey, how's it going?" I asked her, she paused and suspiciously stared at me before clearing her throat.
"It's going well…" She responded curiously, her guard was slightly deprived from before but she still was a bit alerted. I chuckled a bit as I looked up to my feet both locked together by her magic.
"Good, cause I'm just hanging around, literally…" I said looking back down at her and smiling a bit from my corny humor. She must have found it quite funny since she let out a slight shaky breath of air from holding back some laughter. The two beside her also found it funny since they giggled along as well, I forgot how Trixie looked since we only had a few minutes to speak on our first encounter but I'll admit, she's a lot more appealing than before.
"You must be Starlight Glimmer, I'm Ben, nice to meet ya, although I must say, this is an oddly peculiar way to meet, wouldn't you say so?" I introduced myself in the most cliché way I could, I loved to make humor from these types of meet-ups.
She stared at me curiously as if she had just changed attitude on the spot, she stared a bit more innocently and almost speechless. Twilight stared at me with a kind smile knowing what I was trying to pull off while Trixie stared at me with her seducing look, although I think this is how she looks commonly.
I quickly felt my body twitch and I found myself quickly grabbing my sword's handle, it finally slipped out. I saw their faces nearly change on the instant, I grabbed the sword right before it got out of range. It was an odd thing that the sword was looking shiner than before or maybe that was because Starlight's eyes actually glimmered as I could see the reflection of the sword in her eyes as well as Trixie's. Twilight hoof-smacked her forehead as I chuckled nervously.
"Is that…a sword?" Starlight asked staring at the sword, not blinking or losing focus. I nodded, which was a bit hard to do when upside down, and felt my chuckled turn to awkwardness as responded even a bit more nervously.
"Yes…"
"What's it for?" Trixie asked next. I turned my eyes to her, she's seen it before, then why ask? I looked at the sword before bringing it up parallel to my face.
"It's for protecting my friends," I proudly responded taking a deep breath before staring Starlight's look of suspicion. Trixie had the same look going on and Twilight only stared nervously at me, she knew well that this sword had much more history than that.
"You're not lying?" Starlight asked softly, giving me these eyes that just begged me not to lie. I wanted to look away but doing so might as well just incriminate me, I remained focused on her eyes.
"Of course, not-" I paused as her eyes literally widened before me and forced me to look away, what torture this was, is hurting my mental state and confidence. I looked back and her pupils had become as big as her eye and I forced my eyes closed.
"Fine! But Twilight will tell you that later! Please don't do that!" I pleaded looking away and losing my chill. I let out the breath I was holding in and panted out a bit as tried to control my breathing again but being upside-down made that harder too.
"Wow…couldn't you just have given her your evil stare?" Twilight asked me. I spun to her and shook my head in defeat as I holstered my sword and used my hand to make sure it didn't slip out. If I were to give her my death stare, I would have embarrassed myself even more since that look of hers is heart wrenching and impossible to compete with.
"No, those eyes…they were too cute to deal with…my goodness…" I let out in pants as I controlled my breathing and stared at the floor below me.
I quickly felt my body spin back to Starlight and she stared at me curiously and blushing a bit. I felt like face palming myself but I couldn't stop staring at her now, her eyes were naturally becoming cuter as she blushed redder and her pupils got wider.
"You…you think I'm cute?" She asked. Twilight and Trixie each gave their looks of complete speechlessness at Starlight, it was obviously something they didn't expect to hear from her. I blinked my eyes for the first time since I began staring at her, and looked away to the floor, nodding in agreement but still a bit underwhelmed I lost in a stare off.
"Please…just put me down…"
She obviously wasn't going to when she was so close to hearing something she wanted to hear. She pulled me in a lot closer to her, now I was inches from her face compared to before. She gave me an even better view of her eyes and I just couldn't with them, I gulped heavily which was also painful when upside-down.
"Before I do so, can you…answer that question for me?" she asked me again, kinder and a bit desiring.
I stared her eye to eye and sighed as I was close enough to do something I wanted to do to every muzzle I met. I raised my hand up to her muzzle and smiled.
"Boop! Yes, you're cute, I'm surprised you need to hear it from me when all you need to do is look in a mirror," I complimented. Maybe I shouldn't have added that extra piece, it seemed to be too flattering for her. She blushed uncontrollably as she retracted herself from me and rubbed her muzzle as if she'd been touched by a miracle.
I felt the magic on holding my legs disappear.
"What the!?"
I quickly reached out a hand to the ground and bounced off my hand and onto my feet. I keep on forgetting how numb my legs feel after a being upside down, then again, I didn't eat anything to keep me energetic but then if I did, I wouldn't be getting the food I need to replenish my lost nutrients, what a conundrum I've got to deal with.
I wiggled the numbness out of my feet and looked over to Twilight giving me a smirk, she knew how I handled cute ponies trying to be hard. I smirked back as I dusted off my pants and shirt.
"What?" I asked her.
She giggled and she turned to Starlight exchanging some excited news with her "pal" Trixie.
"He said I was cute! Did You hear!?" Starlight excitedly expressed, she couldn't contain her joy it seems. Trixie giggled and shook her head as if saying "I told you so".
"You see, a real charmer he is," Trixie commented turning those seductive eyes of hers to me.
"I guess I can see what you mean, but still, he didn't have to do those things to the princesses, Twilight and friends…" Starlight mentioned turning to me. "Did you?"
I had to think about it since I didn't know what I did to the princess that was negative, unless she was speaking about the short battles we've had, although those battles were not even that dangerous.
"He did what exactly?" Twilight asked getting beside me. Starlight and Trixie looked at her and up at me, both exerting mass confusion with their lifted eyebrows. Twilight gave them her own helping of confusion as she repeated the question. "What did he do to us?"
Starlight moved up to Twilight to face her and aimed a hoof at me. "Didn't he make you poison yourself and the princesses with cider?"
Twilight backtracked and blushed a bit as she giggled out waving a hoof in the air, shaking her head. All I could respond with was a simple "What?"
"No, no, that was K who did that, not Ben, and we all decided to just join in to what K was doing, which was drinking cider until he couldn't handle anymore," Twilight explained lowering her hoof and giggling a bit more. "We did it to ourselves, it was pretty fun too."
I let my head piece that together and again the dots connected. Luna was drunk last night and that was all I needed to know, that probably explained why she fell asleep so quickly too. I chuckled to myself as I blurted out my thoughts.
"That explains a lot,"
"What?" All three of them asked me and I chuckled as I accepted their questions.
"Luna came into the dorms last night, and let's just say I had a very unexpected awakening…" I briefly explained with a smirk as I left them off at a cliff hanger. They all quickly attacked me with the question.
"What does that mean!?" Twilight asked me beating Starlight and Trixie to the question. I sighed and smiled.
"I woke up with her on top of me, her bottom on my face and her head where it shouldn't have been, I'm pretty sure you can infer what happened," I was good with conveying my thoughts without being too detailed, their looks of disbelief helped me understand my talent better. I nodded my head to reassure them again before they asked any other questions about the truth.
"AGAIN!?" Trixie blurted out making Twilight turn to her quickly with a face that couldn't be matched by any shocked pony besides her.
"AGAIN!? WHAT!? THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!?" She asked nearly shattering the glass decorations in the room.
I reached my hands to stop her from yelling out but Trixie quickly cut in. "Yes! A few days ago and now again, but I only saw you sleeping with that DJ pony and Rainbow Dash, Luna must have come in after I left!"
"Damn, way to exploit information Trixie, and stop stalking me!" I told her. She glanced at me and quickly changed her stern look to an innocent smile and giggled nervously. "Sorry, and I just wanted to…uh…make sure you didn't get hurt…"
"Right, of course…" I thought as I nodded with her words, she wasn't giving me much trouble in terms of making me see the truth in her words but I credit her for calming down. I looked over Trixie at Starlight giving me the suspicious look, but I quickly turned to look at Twilight blowing out my eardrums.
"YOU'VE MET BEFORE TOO!?" She asked nearly outraged that her plan to introduce me to one of her students slightly failed. I used my pinky to rub out the ringing in my ear before giving her my painful expression to convey she nearly gave me hearing damage with her outburst.
"Yeah, we've met and yeah, about Luna, but geez, calm down!" I said emphasizing the calm down part of my request. Twilight exchanged her talking to quick breaths of disbelief, I found it quite hard to believe that she didn't know about that odd affair.
"But-but…You've had intercourse with our princesses…Isn't it a bit too early!?"
"I technically just had intercourse with Luna, then it wasn't even deflowering, so she's still as clean as a plain white sheet of paper…sorta, and I guess it was a fast move…" I explained trying defuse the bomb inside Twilight. It worked to an extent, now I triggered a new intention in her.
Twilight glared at me suspiciously as so did Trixie and Starlight. I looked behind and around myself to check of there was something else staring at me and turned make to them with heightened confusion.
"Is something wrong?" I asked them. Twilight stepped up and looked up at me with worry while Starlight and Trixie began studying my physical aspect, circling around me.
"What about Celestia?" Twilight asked bluntly.
"Huh?" Was all I could respond with but I knew what she meant. I just needed some time to come up with an answer for her question.
"If Luna gets to have you to herself, then why can't Celestia?" Twilight rephrased. I felt my face twitch as I heard Celestia's name come out her mouth. I had nothing against Celestia and for sure she's appealing but I couldn't find a way to explain her why I haven't dared touch her in any way.
I let out a sigh as let my hands fall to my sides loosely and I let my body sit itself down on the floor. I got some surprised and confused looks Trixie, Twilight, and Starlight but sitting helps me think better. I raised a finger as I tried to find the words to explain. "I've been alone with Celestia at times…"
I paused for a bit to find the words to explain this odd feeling of anxiety inside my chest. "…but…she's so much more different compared to Luna…" I expressed shaking my head and chuckling a bit.
It was true, now that I was able to think about it better, Celestia is so much more different compared to Luna. There are the minor things about her, and then there is the one major thing about her, the one major thing that was hidden from plain sight to me.
"Why?" All three of them asked me. I didn't want to really admit it to them how I felt about her since it was pretty odd and funny to a point so maybe it would be best to keep it to myself to avoid the laughs.
"Uh…I kinda just become a bit…nervous around her, she's, you know, when you see Luna it doesn't feel like Celestia presence…" I answered them, but my lying look obviously failed me today. They all became more curious and closed in on me, Twilight from front, and Trixie and Starlight from both my sides.
"How so?"
It was now clear they weren't going to leave me alone until I give them the answer they wanted. I looked at each one of them before thinking about it for a second and finally decided it would be best to tell them, it was just these three I was telling it to. I chuckled and scratched my forest of hair in slight embarrassment making them quickly change from curious to nervous and blush.
"She's Celestia…she's like a mother figure to all ponies," I had to pause there because it seemed that Twilight quickly caught on, I let out a chuckle and closed my eyes as I eased out the answer. "And she sorta…reminds me of my own mom…"
I reopened my eyes and found out I was staring at the ceiling of the place, I slowly lowered my head and caught sight of Starlight and Trixie's confused looks, while Twilight nodded nearly saddened by my words.
"Celestia…like your mother!?" Starlight asked me almost outraged. I turned to her and nodded but I wanted to show her I was serious with my expression first before I explained it. She didn't say a thing but she still wanted to hear something come out my mouth. I sighed once more.
"Yeah…Celestia is sweet, kind, shy, lovable, protective, daring at times, she's got the heart of a mother, my mom was no different," I explained but with difficulty. I looked up to them with a smile as I forced myself to lose the image of my mom from my head, I didn't want to remember the happy times; remembering the happy days reminds me of how much life I wasted without her. But it's like everything I think up, once I start thinking about it, it never leaves until I distract myself. I looked down to the floor and nodded once more.
"Yeah…I wish I could've…seen her…one last time," I whispered out, regretting a few things already.
I saw those violet hooves park right in front of me and a gentle stroke of magic lift my face up. Twilight had this new smile that was carrying a load of feelings with it. I could help but get curious and slightly anxious.
"I know life hasn't been kind to you, but you always find a way, you're a lot tougher than us ponies will ever be…"
"What the hell was she saying?" I thought as I looked at her.
"…Thank you, Twilight…" I answered blankly. I don't know how I felt after her saying that, I felt happy and saddened to think she thought of me like that. I admired her complement but I couldn't feel right when she looks down on herself when next to me.
"But Twilight…" I stopped her from turning away.
"Yes?" She kindly asked.
"You can be as strong as you want, don't ever think you're lower than anyone else, you got it?" I said with a thankful and excited smirk going on. She stared at me almost dazzled by my smile and quickly smiled back with a giggle of joy.
"Yeah, I got it, thanks!"
I smiled a bit wider before turning over to Starlight and Trixie both obviously lost after that mother analogy. Twilight caught on to my look and turned to them as well.
"What's so sad? He can just visit her? Right?" They asked us. If it were possible, I'd be one step closer to being happier. Her saying that was painful but not striking, I found a way to numb out the pain of the past to a blunt hit.
Twilight was obviously aware they didn't know and quickly stepped ahead of me.
"Starlight, you don't know thus explains your reasoning, but what you're saying is impossible…" She said, not sad one bit since she knew I was fine.
"What?" Both Trixie and Starlight asked both tilting their heads to one side curiously. "Impossible? How?"
"My mom is dead…along with my dad," I replied casually from behind Twilight making her turn to me along with everyponies attention. Twilight squinted her eyes in a bit of pain but it wasn't like what Trixie and Starlight were fighting at the moment. Starlight quickly backed a step away from me and shook her head in disbelief.
"D-dead? How? How!? I-I've never…I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" She quickly apologized and continued until I stopped her, raising my hand. Trixie gulped down her words and tensed up a lot, her forehoof twitched continuously and her eyes wobbled a bit as she tried to hold back some feels. Unlike Trixie, Starlight just let it all out as she quickly rushed to me and embraced me with a surprise hug that made me shiver a bit. It felt like too much for a past event that happened a long ago.
"Calm down, I wasn't there with them when they died, I didn't even have time to mourn back then, but listen, it's alright I left-" I tried to explain but was quickly met by some disagreeing eyes. She was agitated by what I just said and punched me on the chest with her hoof, these punches hurt a lot. My body recoiled a bit from her hit since it got me off guard.
"NO, IT'S NOT! YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE! HOW DO YOU JUST SAY IT'S ALRIGHT!? AND WHAT KIND OF PONY DOESN'T EVEN GO TO THEIR PARENTS FUNERAL!?" She lashed out grabbing my shirt with her hooves and tugging violently, she was on my chest with all her hooves. I stared at her completely dismayed, she was in the correct mindset but she didn't know enough about me to make judgment. Although, she was right too, the day I figured out about my parent's death, I should have at least have gone to their grave to give my own goodbyes, even if they would have been years late.
I stared at her silently for a while before she tugged on my shirt again forcing me to snap out of my thinking. I didn't know what to say to her, she was right but I couldn't combine her words with my own thoughts, I was stuck in mental tug-of-war.
"I…don't know," I whispered out feeling low and defeated once more. I thought she would back off a bit or at least give me a break but she was in a state of trauma. Death wasn't something these ponies took lightly from what I could see, they were of course a gentle society and not as crazy as my old world.
I felt her try to push me down on to my back but I reached my hands behind me and caught myself.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT, THAT YOU COULDN'T EVEN ATTEND THEIR-"
She was quickly cut off my Twilight calling her out loudly.
"THAT'S ENOUGH STARLIGHT! You clearly don't know his past, if you did, you would know he was intertwined in a grueling four-year war!" Twilight explained trying to calm her down but only agitated Starlight even more.
"A four-year war!? It wouldn't have lasted that long if he just used his friends and the power of friendship!" She quickly commented back. I chuckled a bit and that was a mistake. But fuck it, I would be dead if tried to be friends with those bastards on the other end, but I did bribe them into believing I was one of them, then betraying them, sounds like a job well done if you ask me. If by power of friendship, she meant having my friends by myside, then that would be true, if they didn't die the moment we landed on badlands.
"Why are you laughing!?" She asked giving me a shake with her hooves. I felt slightly pissed she had not comprehended me.
"Friendship!? I would have died trying to do that! Listen to me! Your methods would never have worked in my world! It would have been great if they would have but they didn't!" I told her, reassuringly and with a great deal of power in those words. She took a step back but tripped on her own hind hooves. I raised a hand and grabbed her forehoof before she could fall on her back and pulled her back to me.
She shook away her slight daze from almost falling and quickly sprung out of my hands and onto the floor beside me. I followed her lead and flipped myself onto my feet. My eyes met Starlight as she looked at twilight with hoof out to me
"What does he mean by all that!? His world!? And that friendship would never work!?" Starlight asked still massively confused.
Twilight closed her eyes gently and nodded as she went about calming down the stress in the room.
"Open your mind Starlight, Ben isn't from here if you haven't noticed, he's from an entirely different world, their wars aren't like our current ones, their wars are more like our past ones…bloodshed, betrayal, death, and a reason to use their physical weapons, so please, be more considerate…about his reasons for not attending his parents farewell…"
Starlight remained quiet as she stared up at me, not pissed, not saddened, not worried, but freaked the hell out. "A different world…bloodshed…death…what are you!?" She asked me.
I chuckled, made a fist and hit my chest with it and aimed it around the room at each of them. If I knew best, it was that I didn't want to be seen as evil or mad.
"I'm Ben, you're Starlight, she's Trixie, and she's Twilight," I pointed out with a smile making her look at her friends before turing to me.
"We all have backstories, bad and good, but in the end, you don't care because you have friends…that's my case, I made my mistakes but I got friends…can you say the same Starlight?" I asked her. She gulped as she looked behind herself at Twilight and Trixie, both quickly encouraging her to say something.
She looked up at me and nodded, "Yes, I guess I can say the same, I don't have a good story myself you know?"
"Interesting, your face lied to me then, you don't look like a malevolent pony," I complimented giving her the friendly grin. She lifted an eyebrow as she quickly questioned it.
"How does my face-" She paused and quickly blushed as she closed her eyes. "DON'T FLATTER ME AT A TIME LIKE THIS!"
"Really? I thought I was stating the facts not flattering, whatever you want to call it,"
"Just be quiet!" She yelled out turning away from me, sitting down on the floor and pouting.
I rolled my eyes and chuckled as I knelt down and placed my hand on her shoulder.
"No, but seriously, I do have bad history but I promise you I'm over that! I don't do what I use to, I just fight to protect my friends," I reassured her giving her a slight wiggle on the shoulder with my hand. I got no reaction from her, so I neared myself to her ear and whispered.
"I'm serious…"
She quickly arched her back and giggled loudly as she retracted her body away from me and used her hoof to rub away the tickle in her ear. That trick always works. I stood back up and smiled as she couldn't help but smile as the tickle ran down her body.
"Okay I got it! Don't need to get so touchy!"
"Lucky for you, I didn't nibble your ear, I haven't had my breakfast, I might have lost my mind," I teased. She blushed amazingly and covered her face with her hooves. Twilight blushed too as she covered her mouth with her hoof and giggled.
"Why are you so…so…so"
"Charming…" Trixie popped her head out from between my legs. I quickly looked down and she looked up at me. I stared at her curiously as she formed some magic around my crotch and squeezed gently, I was going to tell her off but she quickly squeezing wasn't called for. And above all, she wasn't doing it through the pants but in the pants. "I've been thinking, what does Luna like so much that's in here?" she teased squeezing my junk like stress ball.
"Trixie! Stop that!" I exclaimed before she squeezed the breath out of me again.
I was being held from everywhere by magic and couldn't react at the moment. I liked the feeling but I couldn't be molested by Trixie in front of Twilight and Starlight. Why wasn't I able to overpower her magic? I overpowered Luna's magic last night and Celestia's, why couldn't I do the same with Trixie!?
"Oh? It's heavy…" She curiously observed before standing on her hind hooves and nearing her face to my crotch and sniffing. I didn't know what to do, my eyes were locked on her and my mouth was open but nothing came out.
"TRIXIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Twilight and Starlight quickly exclaimed, exchanging looks between all points of interest. Trixie was obviously not listening as she took one more whiff and smiled seductively.
"Smells funny too, but it's strangely pleasant," she giggled before quickly being pulled back violently by Twilight and Starlight's magic. Her magic around my crotch was still there which was the worst part, she squeezed incredibly hard, and now I was on my floor clutching my crotch with my hands and yelling out I pain with a boner and sore balls.
"TURN THE MAGIC OFF, TURN IT OFF FOR MY BALLS SAKE! PLEASE!" I yelled out nearly with no air and clutching my crotch with my own hands. I might just cry again, never have I felt such a horrifying pain be done to my crotch, I didn't know what was worse a kick or this prolonged squeeze.
"BEN! I'M SORRY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Trixie quickly asked getting by my side and shaking me with her hooves violently. Nearly in tears she was as she shook me, I would have been to if she hadn't stopped that magic of hers. That pain was still pulsing and it became only worse with the rocking Trixie was giving me.
"DON'T DIE!" She pleaded out shaking me even faster, she sniffled back the tears as she quickly pleaded again. "DON'T DIE AND I PROMISE TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU!"
I rolled away from her and sat up right before bring my knees up to my face and clutching my legs with my arms. I buried my face into my knees and let out the pain through slow breaths.
"…I-I'm not d-dying…" I managed to ease out in quick slivers of air, but it sure felt like I was.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Twilight and Starlight asked appearing on either side of me. I looked at them weakly and shook my head swallowing some saliva that had accumulated in my mouth.
"She squeezed too hard…" I explained letting my legs extend out and letting my crotch take in the air of the room. Twilight blushed as she looked away and nodded, Starlight looked at me worried over what I meant.
"Squeezed what too hard!?" Starlight asked staring between me and Twilight.
"Well…stallions have these uh…hanging things," Twilight explained to the best of her knowledge, yet now it seemed her knowledge of it come from her own experiences. I couldn't help but chuckle when she said hanging things. "I heard they're really sensitive and important…"
"Your damn right, they're sensitive and important!" I exclaimed taking one more deep breath.
"Are you okay? Do I need to get you something?" Twilight asked me. I shook my head as I wobbled my way onto my feet and stretched out a bit. I felt three forces of magic keep me in balance as I limped my way around the room to get rid of the slowly dying pain.
"I guess it's true about them being sensitive but why?" Twilight mentioned as I gave a small sprint from one side of the room to the other and hopped, landing firmly on the floor. I was still in pain anymore but I could easily now speak and move with a limp.
"I don't know why they are sensitive, I think something about nerves in that area." I said before placing my hands up to admit something. "But there are good things that come from them being sensitive."
"Good things?" Twilight asked not taking me seriously.
"Yeah, if you can treat them right, you can pleasure them and me," I explained giving them a thumbs up and nodding one to assure them I wasn't lying. They both blushed a bit more and looked away for a moment before breathing in deeply.
"Oh…well, you seem like an expert on this stuff, then how are they important?" Starlight asked me recalling what Twilight said earlier. I covered my mouth to hold back a slight urge to laugh, since it was incredibly hard to believe these ponies, that apparently are supposed to be smart, don't know about reproductive organs. Although my knowledge did come from those freaks from the barracks and books I read.
"Important? I thought you read on this type of stuff?" I asked crossing my arms and flicking a wrist. Twilight nodded before meeting me a foot away from each other. She had a small smile as she did what I did with my wrist with her hoof, I looked away from a second to ask myself how is she doing that?
"Celestia banned me from reading any books on stallion anatomy and reproduction after Cadence told me they were having a baby…she said I was too curious, but I still don't know why she didn't allow me to read books on reproduction?" She explained giving a confused look and scratching her mane in curiosity.
That explained a bit, of course Celestia would be protective of Twilight's knowledge on sexual reproduction and anything revolving around sex.
"Oh, that makes sense, she was just being her normal-Celestia self," I told her. Twilight and Starlight scratched their heads confused about what I meant but I expected such. It would be funny to see their expressions if they didn't know shit about this topic, although Twilight knew what sex briefly was so she wouldn't be too shocked.
"Can you tell us? If Celestia wouldn't let us find out, then you can, it's always good to learn something new!" Starlight excitedly asked for. I looked off to the wall at the end of the room and pondered it, but there was nothing to think about. I snapped my fingers and smiled.
"Okay, part one of Sex Ed, topic one: reproduction!"
"Sex Ed? Reproduction? What does his have to do with the importance of those things you have," Twilight asked me, a bit annoyed, thinking that I was going off topic but I wasn't.
It almost clicked in my mind that Twilight didn't know jack about Reproduction, she wouldn't be asking if she knew. I smiled a bit as I put up two quote-on-quote symbols with my hands.
"Well…inside these "things", there is something called Semen-" I explained exercising the quote-on-quotes but was quickly stopped by Starlight and Twilight quickly questioning the obviously new vocabulary.
"Semen?"
Despite the interruption I nodded and continued on with the short lesson, it would all be worth it in the end, just to see their faces.
"Yeah, and this semen is ejaculated from a male's shaft into a…" I paused since I didn't want to use word womanhood, "in your case, a pony's breeding hole…aka the Vagina and Thrill Ride!" I explained with clearly the opposite feelings of the two in front of me. I smiled with excitement as I used my fingers on either hand to indicate their flanks.
"Breeding…hole? Wait a minute…IS THAT WHAT THIS THING IS FOR!?" Twilight quickly asked looking back to her flank along with Starlight both blushing heavily as they did. They were mixed between fear, worry, and shock.
"DING-DING! You're right! Inside of those, there are ovaries, a weird structure that contains ova or ovum or, in simpler terms, eggs…"
"E-EGGS!?" Twilight spoke in outrage as she looked behind herself in horror and Starlight imitated silently and quivering. I already loved the reactions but there was more to discuss.
"Yes, and the semen is combined with the egg to form a baby pony inside your body! Thus, leading to birth a few months later! TA-DA YOU'RE A MAMA!" I exclaimed giving a backflip and aiming my fingers in their direction, giving her the congrats, you just earned some knowledge excitement. Twilight held her breath tightly as she tried to accept it, but couldn't. She let out her desperate breath and quickly flew up to my collar and grabbed it, and stared at me in disbelief. I loved this reaction.
"YOU MEAN I HAVE TO HAVE INTERCOURSE TO HAVE A BABY!?" She asked pulling me from the collar and smacking my head on hers.
I quickly grabbed her body with my hands and smiled widely as I nodded.
"YES! AMAZING ISN'T IT!? AND IT CAN BE DONE A LOT OF TIMES FOR MORE BABIES!"
My excitement must have gotten to her since she stared at me, lost and surprised by this funny me she was seeing.
"THEY HAVE TO SHOVE THEIR THING INSIDE ME!?"
"YES! AND BREED YOU! THAT'S HOW IT WORKS! What do you think your parents did before you were born!?" I asked her making her widen her eyes and freeze in my hands. I chuckled as she slowly let out her reaction in a whisper and let her body loosen up.
"They bred? Oh Celestia…"
"Right and the princesses mother did the same before Celestia and Luna were born! Whoever she might be?" I said. I confused myself a bit for a second with the origins of Celestia and Luna, damn, now I was making myself think.
I felt Twilight break loose from my arms and float down to the floor, she nearly tipped over by how distracted she was but Starlight had her side secured with her magic. I felt a wave a wind hit me as Twilight quickly snapped out of her daze and turned to me rapidly, it frightened Starlight and forced her to jump back a bit.
"W-will y-you…do that to us?" Twilight asked me in a worried and frightened tone. Just to keep my friendly and non-serious feel going, I knelt down and petted her head and rustled that smooth mane of hers making it bed ragged.
"Well now, I don't know if human semen can mix with pony ovum, that's up for experiment…but you got your answer in the end, that's the importance of testicles aka the things," I indicated with a smile, which made her blush to the point I felt the heat her face was radiating.
"You don't have to worry about any of that right now, it's your body after all, not mine, you chose what you do with it, I'll just be here to protect and keep it company," I assured her with a calmer tone to show I wasn't exaggerating a thing. She must have liked being reassured, she gave me tight hug with her hooves and wings, thanking me before backing away with a smile with red around the cheeks.
"I can see why you seem to be so cherished by Trixie and Twilight, and the princesses," Starlight commented with a gentle but embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry for lifting you off the ground and raising my voice, I never thought I would meet some…"
She paused to think about what to indicate me as.
"-One, I'm not a pony but a human," I said gently. She smiled and nodded aiming a hoof to me.
"I never expected to meet someone as interesting like you…some-one, someone! Hey, it works!" Starlight joyfully exclaimed testing out the word "someone" a few times before agreeing it rolled off the tongue smoothly. It was cute how she expressed her joy from almost any small detail.
"Uh…Ben?" I heard from behind me. I turned to a depressed looking Trixie with a blush and regretful looking going on. Her eyes were not daring but just hard to look at without feeling some compassion and emotion towards her.
"Hey don't be sad, you were just being a bit playful, it was an accident," I said, comforting her with sincere words. She smiled a bit but only to an extent, she looked towards my crotch and back up at me.
"I didn't break anything, did I?" She asked making me shake my head and chuckle a bit, I was thinking the same thing at the moment. My balls were not made of steel but I'm sure I was fine, considering I've been kneed before, I might just make it through a tight squeeze.
"If they are, we can just ask Celestia to repair them!" Starlight inquired making me look off to the distance and wondering how in this world, I would go about not expecting an answer like that. In all honesty, this is a magic filled world, anything is possible, even healing broken balls.
"Don't worry, I think I'm fine, just don't go and squeeze them so hard," I expressed shaking my hand in front of myself. I didn't want to ever tell anyone how my balls were magically fixed by the princess of the sun. Wow! What a great title for a short story: My Balls Were Magically Fixed by The Princess of The Sun!
"I'll make it up to you, I promise!" Trixie reassured me quickly making it a foot from me and smiling and wagging that tail of hers. I stared at her tail and then at her before scratching the back of my head and smiling nervously. If a pony come up to me and wags her tail like a dog, then I was in for something good, that's pure logic!
"Uh…okay, but it's not that serious," I said in an attempt to stop her from thinking. Trixie shook her head and gave me those sexy eyes of hers.
"Oh, The Pained and Injured Ben, will soon be feeling a lot better after some Trixie Treatment!" Trixie said. She managed to get me excited by giving me such an oddly-long name and now, she was going to give me a Trixie Treatment, honestly what couldn't I be more excited for?
I realized where Trixie was when I saw only her head peeking through the door out the room. She was leaving off to go somewhere and was waving her hoof towards us.
"The Sorry and Excited Trixie must take her leave! See you all later!"
She disappeared and closed the door making me chuckle, never have I met someone use their name so oddly in third person.
"Well, it looks like she hasn't changed that habit," Starlight sighed before giggling and turning to Twilight who was excitedly holding onto my guitar with her magic. "Uh…Twilight, what's that funny looking guitar doing here?"
"Well now, Ben has a thing for music! From what I can tell, he's incredibly talented!" Twilight commented. I smiled in the fact that she had the faith in me to say that much about my talent. I'll make sure to impress and not embarrass her.
"Is he now, he should consider appearing on the concert, he's got half an hour to join!" Starlight added making me turn to her on the dime and chuckling.
"I am going to be in it!"
She smiled widely became excited standing and hopping on her hooves like a hyper-active child.
"Great! I would like to hear you sing and play that instrument!"
I nodded before looking down at her curiously and squatting down in front of her, "Thanks…but…"
"But what?" She asked me.
"What's the theme of this concert?" I asked her. I had to know what I was dealing with here, I had many songs on my head but I had to know which to play so I don't ruin the mood of the crowd.
"Theme?" She asked back before I picked up.
"Like music preference…" I explained.
"Oh…anything that can excite the crowd!" She stated with an excited smile.
My eyes widened a bit and make her chuckle back nervously. If this was just a concert to excite my audience, I had a damn list of songs in my head. I think a special appearance from Journey or Queen or maybe even REO Speedwagon will do the trick, I've always had a deep and passionate love for their music.
"Hmm…I got this in the bag!" I said as I picked up the guitar from Twilights magic and wrapped it around my back with the strap I attached on it. Starlight turned to me and gave me the "Oh really?" look. I returned it with a lifted eyebrow.
"You do? With just that instrument?" She asked. She made a good point, all the songs I could think of had at least two different instruments. I wasn't going to panic since I could make anything sound good with a guitar but there were a few aspects missing from giving off the full experience of making the crowd get off their seats.
"Hmm…now that you mention it, I could to with a drummer and electric pianist…although it wouldn't be necessary," I mentioned pondering it with my eyes closed and my hand on my chin.
"OH! I know some of the bands that will be participating will have drums and electric pianos! But how will you get them?" Starlight exclaimed before pondering it herself.
I smiled as I nodded and opened my eyes. If I knew something, it was that K would be into getting those instruments the moment he sees them, he too is a fan of my music preferences from what I knew. All I would need to do is get him within range of the instruments and they're as good as ours.
"Oh, believe me, I've got a crazy look alike friend that can get just about anything done, and if I know him well, he'll get those two things one way or another," I chuckled closing my hand into a fist and pumping it with excitement and achievement. This was going well for me.
"look alike?" Starlight asked me.
"You'll see him! You can't miss him considering he has some crazy origin story!" Twilight exclaimed making it him a bit popular now. Starlight stared at her before looking to me and back at Twilight.
"Is he like Ben!?"
"Yup, just not a human, he resembles one, but…I'll tell you later what he is!" Twilight explained. Making me sigh internally in relief, it was pain in the ass trying to explain that he was a demon to everypony I met. Starlight smiled widely again and nodded.
"Alright, I can't wait to see him!"
"Great! You'll love him about as much as Ben!" Twilight replied happily before getting a quick response from Starlight.
"I don't love him!" Starlight argued aiming a hoof to me. I smiled and mentally nodded sarcastically with what she was saying. I was full of myself at times and now was one of those, I was just like that.
"Oh, don't start something here! You feel the same way I do!" Twilight argued back with a grin. I looked at her and back at Starlight, if Twilight admits she feels someway, then Starlight, being her pupil and all, would be weakened of her power to object.
"How would you know!?"
Oh damn, she objected…
"Because your blushing and you can't stop looking at him every few seconds," Twilight exposed making her blush more than what she already was. Honestly, I think she needs a break from being embarrassed. Maybe now she won't object.
"That doesn't prove a thing!"
"Oh well," I sighed giving my sword's holster a pat and spinning to the door. I quickly got Starlight's reaction as well as Twilight's.
"Hey! I didn't mean to deny it!" Starlight apologized getting in front of me and stopping me from leaving. Twilight joined her in blocking the door. "Yes, she has a lot to learn!"
I looked to my wrist and poked at a make-believe watch.
"Well, we got half an hour before this concert thing initiates, the least we could do is get something to eat and plan out how this shows gonna go!" I said breaching their pathetic defense between me and the door. They stared at me as I opened the door and used my hand to indicate them to go on and step out the room.
"Oh…uh…right!" Twilight cheerfully perked up stepping out with Starlight following behind her with a still slightly embarrassed smile. I was curious about this Starlight, she had something coming to her when she figures out about the little thing we planned to do tomorrow. She looked innocent above anything, and that was enough to throw my head into a new series questions, the most important being How was she targeted by Chrysalis the most?
I would have continued thinking about it if it were not for Twilight quickly turning to me with excitement. I nearly tramped her to for it but I managed to brake centimeters from her hooves. She smacked her hoof to my knee and smiled as she quickly unleashed an enthusiastic piece of news.
"I know a place, where they can offer something you might like! Pizza!"
I was paralyzed for about a minute, and my mind was trying to comprehend what she just told me. Pizza? Where the fuck did this come from? Was all I could think of. Honestly, I was having a hard time believing it, I haven't had pizza in probably a year or so, and now she brings it up out of nowhere.
"P-pizza…?" I whispered out in disbelief, my voice almost cracking under the thought of pizza. Starlight nodded as she turned to me with her brow raised.
"Yes, have you never had it?"
"PIZZA!? PIZZA IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HAD! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PIZZA WHEN I GOT HERE!?" I yelled out excited by the offering I was given, clearly shocking them from my heightened tone. Twilight chuckled nervously as she retracted her hoof from my knee and smiled.
"Umm…you never asked, I guess you want to go there?"
"You got five seconds to make me appear in that pizza place before I eat up Starlight," I playfully threatened but in the most serious voice I could conjure up. Starlight blushed and hid behind Twilight immediately.
"WHAT!? TWILIGHT!" Starlight pleaded before Twilight quickly nodded and raised her horn to the ceiling.
"Pizza it is then!"
Poof*
As Peter Parker once said, "Pizza Time!", now Ben will get to say "Pizza Time!" after all this time!
"You don't need an electric piano or drums! I think that guitar thing sounds good enough on its own!" Chrysalis reassured K trying to convince him he didn't need all the extra. K turned to her quickly and nodded his head agreeing with her but still, he wanted to really blow away the crowd.
"I need to get this crowd dancing! But to do that, I need these things!" K insisted taking his guitar and quickly studying it intensely as he studied its physical aspects.
"What good will it do? You don't have others to play the instruments," Chrysalis reminded him making K placed hand to chin and close his eyes as he paced around the room, thinking. Chrysalis stared at him go from one side of the room to the other as he mumbled out ideas and used his fingers to take some numbers down.
At last he finally stopped in placed and turned to Chrysalis with a great grin.
"I can get Dash on the drums! And Flutters on the piano!" He replied with excitement and smacking a fist in his other hand's palm. Chrysalis stared at him confused by what he just said, she looked to the floor thinking about it before turning back up to him.
"Do they even know how to play?"
K shook his head and aimed a finger to himself, still holding onto his grin.
"Ah…I've always got a way! I'm K, just watch me work some of this magic!" He reassured her rubbing his hands together making a bit of darkish smoke appear and evaporate into the room along with his eyes slightly changing into a deeper shade of red. Chrysalis stared at him a bit shocked by his actions but ignored it when he ultimately yawned and stretched casually.
"Fine, I guess, but you do sound incredible without all that," Chrysalis reassured him back. K paused and nodded once, his confidence was over the roof and so was his excitement.
"Thanks, but I'm gonna blow away this audience! Screw it, I'm gonna make them orgasm on their seats!"
"Uh…please don't do that!" Chrysalis begged of him playfully with a smirk.
"Not literally," K replied chuckling and following along with her reaction before picking his guitar up to his face and studying it intensely again. Chrysalis looked up at him and asked over it, in which he replied very oddly.
"I need some wires, a aux jack, some scrap metal, and a small converter…"
"Why?"
"I'm gonna make this guitar electric, and I got…" He looked up to a clock over the door of the bedroom. "Thirty minutes, that's more than enough!"
Chrysalis couldn't get a break from his randomness but she knew logically he wouldn't have the time to do that in half an hour.
"Make it electric!? You won't have enough time!"
"Chrysalis…you're talking to the crazed demon who can cut a perfect sword and guitar out of a tree in less than thirty seconds, I think I can handle," K assured her throwing his guitar on his back and cracking his knuckles. Chrysalis was a bit stunned by his words and nodded in defeat hopping off the bed.
"Oh…I guess we should go find your things before we waste any more time…" Chrysalis said moving to the door of the room and opening it before quickly changing into a new pony. K stared at her as she shrunk and became that same pony from last night, he smiled as he made it to the door and opened it fully.
"Cool!"
"What do you plan on playing that requires all that?" Chrysalis asked using the new voice. K stepped out the room with her following closely by his side.
"Some Journey, Queen, or REO Speedwagon, that sounds like the best options I got," K explained using three fingers to represent each one. Chrysalis nodded slowly and suspiciously, she obviously didn't know what he just said but would put her trust in his words.
"Ok…ay, you better tell Ben about that," She warned him but K was confident in that too. He smirked as he stared straight ahead, head held high and back straight.
"Oh, don't worry about him, if I know him, I know he's already ready!"
"Okay, now slowly…what did it look like?" Celestia asked them once more still being calm like the past half-hour. Everypony at the table took their sixth deep breath before finally saying it again.
"It. Looked. Like. A. CHRYSALIS! AN ACTUAL ONE!" They exclaimed chopping up the words to make it clearer for their princess to get it.
Celestia nodded and shamed them with her hoof. "You see, we just wasted about thirty minutes discussing a cutie mark when you could have just said that."
Everypony sunk into their chairs giving her their groans of defeat. Celestia look at all of them before pouting.
"Oh, come on! All you were telling me was that it was Cutie Mark! I need to know how it looked!"
"Sister, I feel like we must take this more seriously! Chrysalis is a changeling, for her to have a Cutie Mark is madness and impossible!" Luna expressed seriously making Celestia lose the pout and tap her muzzle with her hoof repeatedly as she pondered this new predicament. Everypony stared at Celestia as she finally looked down at the table and nodded.
"Hmm…I don't know how this happened but I am curious, we must find out who did this to her!" Celestia expressed calmly and not going on a tantrum.
"How?" Luna asked, curious about Celestia's claim.
"We'll ask K, he obviously must know something," Celestia giggled which was odd considering everypony was worked up over what they had just witnessed on Chrysalis's flank. Luna gave a herself a whack to the forehead with her hoof as she agreed.
"Oh right! Maybe K did something to her…but what?" Luna asked rhetorically as she stared at the table before looking up to Celestia. Luna quickly paused as she noticed Celestia had this smile going on and a small blush happening across her face. Luna was curious but it was reassuring to her that her sister was happy about something.
"We'll wait till after this concert though, in all honesty, I really want to see and hear Ben and K make music!" Celestia added being a bit too happy. Luna smiled and giggled.
"Ah, yes, I from what I hear, he's got a way with that guitar of his!"
"It's like magic but with sound!" Vinyl added from the far end of the table before Dash added. "Yeah, it just needs to be played correctly!"
"I wonder what music he plays?" Flutters asked getting some smiles from everypony at the table.
"We'll find out soon!" They all replied making Flutters fluster and hide in her seat.
"Yes, he has a lot of secrets hidden from us, makes you wonder what else he might be hiding…" Celestia whispered out in a smooth and lost in bliss voice. Luna had to look over to her once more, she was weirded out a bit by Celestia odd change in personality.
"We'll see in time, he's still new here but he's already found a way to fit in among us, I'm glad he has too…he's an adventure that must be taken without hesitation," Celestia added in the same tone. Luna smiled a bit as she nodded with her sister, she seemed to know what she was thinking.
"I want to talk to him again…alone…" She eased out even quieter, only Luna was able to hear while the ponies around the table conversated with each other. Luna felt a bit guilty as she swallowed heavily and nodded gently with what her sister said.
"I'm sure he wants to spend time with you," Luna whispered back almost depressed. Celestia turned slowly to her sister almost hurt by that but she hid it with a smile that held back something. Luna felt the pain her sister had, she did know how to read minds after all. Then Celestia knew well what Luna's done with Ben, but it was only until now that she was actually thinking about it deeply after she, herself, brought Ben into the conversation.
"I'm sorry…I don't know why I did that again…" Luna apologized looking at the glass in front of her.
"It's alright Luna," Celestia calmly replied. It wasn't a secret that Celestia was above all disappointed she hadn't done a thing that Luna has done with Ben. She stared blankly at the food that became had become cold.
"But we're sisters, I want us both to be happy," Luna plead, her ears dropped low and her eyes staring regretfully at her glass she wished was full of cider.
Celestia smiled unwillingly, just to hide her feelings from Luna, although Luna being able to easily read her mind like a book nullified her smile.
"Don't pretend to be happy, when you're not," Luna eased out in a whisper. Celestia nodded and lost her smile along with any intents to ease the situation.
"I am happy Luna, I just really want to know what it feels like to be close to him," Celestia admitted with a sigh. Luna's ears perked up a bit and her hoof became fidgety.
"Which way?" She curiously asked, her eyes widened with an idea and her ears standing straight up.
"All the ways…" Celestia whispered, still staring blankly at her cold food. Luna's ear twitched just once before a smile creeped onto her face and she began tapping her hooves on the chair anxiously.
"You must really like him…" Luna whispered back, excited and hinting to something, but Celestia was too lost I her thoughts to even notice Luna's sudden change in tone.
"I do, but I know he's just one, and we're many, he can't be everywhere"
Luna quickly got her moment to respond and fully turned to Celestia, "Hey! Why don't we go into his dreams!?"
"Luna, why would we do that?" Celestia asked turning to face her sister with a serious glare. Luna ingnored her as she wrapped her hoof around her.
"We could all have a three-way lucid dream!"
Celestia's eyes widened extremely and she lost her serious and rushed to ask.
"Are you suggesting-"
"Yes! I will be fun and I have to make it up to you!" Luna exclaimed quickly cutting in and giving her sister a share of excitment.
Celestia blushed lightly, she had no idea how to respond to such an offer. It would be stupid to not accept and embarrassing to quickly say yes.
"I…uh…"
"And there's no consequence once we wake up, so we could take it as far as we want," Luna whispered in a tempting tone, slowly rubbng her body with Celestia's making both of them blush equally.
"As far as we want?" Celestia asked nervously with Luna still attached to her.
"Yeah," Luna giggled before blushing a bit stronger. "You know…he's kinda frightening considering how big he is down there,"
Celestia froze and matched Luna's blush as she gulped heavily.
"Frightening?"
"I fear for my bottom, and more for the ponies who are smaller than us," She giggled giving Celestia a new thing to worry about.
"Do you think it would hurt?"
"I wouldn't know, I haven't gone that far," Luna casually expressed taking a deep breath full of relief, knowing her sister was already convinced.
"Thank you…Luna, but would you really do that?" Celestia asked. Luna closed her eyes as she giggled and rubbed her cheek on Celestia's.
"Anything for you..." Luna paused and her eyes shot open as she separated from Celestia quickly. "Oh! We need to get ready for the concert!"
Celestia stared at Luna hop off her chair and turn to her.
"Let's go, I wouldn't want to miss for the moon!"
Celestia sighed and smiled as she also hopped of her chair.
"Me too Luna, Let's go!"
Everypony turned over to Luna and Celestia trotting off giggling and making small talk.
"HEY! WAIT UP, WERE GOING TOO!"
