I let out a loud yawn as I stretched, my hand brushed up against something smooth yet rough. Looking up, I saw that I had touched a brown hat, the one that Applejack wore everyday. Her hat was here, but she wasn't.
"*Yawn* Applejack?" I called out into the dimly lit room.
"Mm? Ya' lookin' for mah sis?" Applebloom asked, letting out a cute little yawn as she crawled onto my leg.
"Yeah, I don't see her", I said as I looked around the room, the door was open.
"Want to go look for her?" I asked, rubbing the little fillies mane.
"Mm, sure", she said.
"If we're going to look for your sister, you need to be awake to do that", I laughed as I picked up the drowsy filly and placed her on my head.
Of course, being so tired she didn't give me a response, except for a few light breathing. Pushing the blanket off of my feet, I swung my legs off the side of the bed and got up. Walking out of the room, I was greeted by the smell of food being made, something sweet had filled the air. Applebloom seemed to have noticed, seeing as she was now drooling on my forehead.
"Applebloom, that's gross", I said as I used one finger to close the fillies mouth.
Seeing as my face was now covered in drool, I walked down the other direction, towards the oversized bathroom that Princess Celestia had installed into the mansion. Jeffry and I really like this place, but I would rather sleep at Applejack's place. It had a... homely feeling to it, relaxing and safe. Reaching the bathroom, I walked inside and placed Applebloom on the countertop, she immediately pulled over a towel and wrapped herself in it as she went back to sleep.
'I swear, if I wasn't a guy. I would be squealing at this adorableness', I smiled to myself as I grabbed another towel, one that didn't have a sleeping filly in it.
I plugged the sink as I turned it on, allowing water to accumulate inside the sink. Once the water was at a far depth, I turned off the water and dunked my face into the war. Slipping my hands into the water, I began to rub the drool off of my face. Little did I know, a mare had crept into the bathroom and was stalking her way towards me from behind.
"Boo!" She said.
"Ah!" I exclaimed, jolting.
The sudden sound made me jump so hard that it caused my knee to go up, smashing the marble table. The table broke in half. One of the shattered ends landed on my foot.
"Ow-ha-ha-haow!" I exclaimed as I lifted the table off of my foot and pulled it out from underneath it.
I then slipped on some water that had overflown from the sink and onto the floor, causing me to fall forwards. Applebloom then rolled down from the other side of the table and smacked me on the back of my head.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that, John", I heard Applejack laugh a little.
"It's okay... just get your sister off of me", I said as I laid there.
Grabbing hold of the towel Applebloom was wrapped in, she lifted her off of me as I pushed myself up. The table was pretty much well... broken.
"Okay, going to have to fix that later", I said as I looked at the broken table.
"Ah made some breakfast, if ya'd like somethin' to eat", Applejack said, turning her head to place her sister on her back.
"Oh, cool. Sure", I said.
As we walked towards the door, I reached over and slipped the towel off of Applebloom and balled it together with the one I was using, and chucked it into the sink. Walking down the hall, I noticed that Applejack still didn't have her hat on. Using my magic, I teleported Applejack's hat from the bedroom and caught it with my hand as it fell from above my head. I threw it like a frisbee, it landed square on her head.
"You forgot your hat", I said as I walked past Applejack, patting her on her back. She had stopped walking to see what had landed on her head.
"Thanks, John", she thanked as she readjusted her hat so that it was leveled, and not tilting to the side.
As we neared the kitchen, I was once more greeted by a wonderful aroma, stronger this time... and something was burning.
"Applejack, you smell that?" I asked, sniffing at the air.
"oh no! Mah pancakes!" She exclaimed as she galloped past me.
Walking after her, I entered the kitchen as Applejack turned off the stove. I rushed over to her as she was about to use her mouth to take the pan off of the stove.
"You're going to burn yourself, let me", I said as I used my magic to lift the pan off of the stove.
"Thanks", she said, smiling to me.
"No problem", I said.
"Applejack, what's that smell?" Applebloom said, waking up again.
"Ah made breakfast, want some?" Applejack.
"Okay", Applebloom yawned as she got off of her sisters back.
I walked over to the table and sat down, Applebloom climbed onto my lap and placed her fore hooves on the table. Jeez, does she expect me to feed her? Applejack brought over a plate, stacked with pancakes. Of course, apple slices were on top. She brought over two more places, one had only three pancakes. Most likely it was for Applebloom, seeing as she might not be able to finish as much as Applejack and myself could.
"So, you girls ready for the Gala, today?" I asked, shoving an entire pancake into my mouth.
"Yup, Ah got mah dress. Applebloom and Ah gots to head back home after breakfast, to get her dress", Applejack said.
"Yeah! When does it start?" Appebloom asked as she nibbled on a pancake.
"Hmm, Twilight said it starts 'round thirty minutes before lunch time? Applejack said.
"That leaves us a good amount of time to get ready", I said.
"Do you think the girls and Jeffry are ready, too?" Applebloom asked.
"I don't know, probably", I said.
~Twilight's Library~
Twilight had told me that the Gala starts about thirty minutes before lunchtime, but she wanted to make sure that she wouldn't forget anything. She checked her dress to make sure that it was the right one, she went around doing some chores, which I was more than happy to help her with. Now, we were looking for the suit that Rarity had made for me, I could have sworn that I had it somewhere. We pretty much looked everywhere.
"Twilight, still can't find it?" I asked, sliding some clothes in the closet to the side.
"Mmm, no. Are you sure you left it here?" Twilight asked.
"I think so, it can't be in the mansion since I never brought it there", I said as I backed out of the closet and closed the doors.
"Maybe we should check Rarity's boutique?" Twilight said, trotting over to me.
"Hmm, guess we can give her place a try', I said as we left the bedroom.
"Oh, that reminds me. We're supposed to meet at Rarity's boutique anyways, I'll go get my dress", Twilight said as she quickly trotted back into the room and reappeared by my side with her plastic covered dress, resting on her back.
Making our way down the stairs, and into the now repaired room. Twilight and I had fixed the very noticeable damages in the morning, we were going to put the smaller things aside for later. Locking the door after we exited the library, we walked down the street towards Rarity's boutique. I let Twilight take the lead, I still had no idea how to get there without teleporting or by my own memory. Didn't matter though, I wanted to spend as much time as possible with Twilight, every second that we spend together was like spending time on the beach. She made me feel happy, relaxed, nothing could make me happier than to be with her. As we approached Rarity's boutique, we noticed that the front of the store was filled with carriages, it was quite loud too.
"Rarity! I demand that you finish my dress before the Gala!" A voice said.
"I-I'm quite sorry ma'am, but I am swamped with orders. I need to work on my own dress as well, I will be attending the Gala as well", I heard Rarity reply from inside the boutique.
"What the hell is going on in there?" I said.
As Twilight and I made our way into the fashion designers store, we were greeted by a bombard of complaints directed at Rarity. The shop was filled with several high classed looking ponies, all dressed in fancy attire .
"Rarity! What's going on?" Twilight called to her friend, over the commotion.
"Oh, thank heavens it's you two", Rarity said.
"I could do for some assistance!" Rarity called out.
"Hey... Hey! HEY! SHUT THE HELL UP!" I shouted over the voices, the room fell silent.
"Thank you. Rarity, did all of these ponies JUST place their orders?" I asked, pushing several ponies aside, not caring about these inconsiderate high class folk.
"Y-yes, they placed their orders just this morning, but I told them that I was far to busy to take them", Rarity said.
"Okay, first of all. You're all idiots. Second of all, get the hell out of this s tore. You shouldn't make her life miserable because you all forgot to have your clothes made for the Gala", I said, glaring at them all.
"W-who do you think you're speaking to? We're all well known ponies in Canterlot, we can have your reputation ruined! For all it's worth", a stallion said, in a top hat and tux.
"I am Sir Jeffry, one of the War Generals of Equestria, and friends with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I don't care about my reputation, you mess with my friends, you mess with me", I said, lifting my hand up as I formed a small black sphere.
"Now, if you'd like to have your orders taken, I suggest you go do that somewhere in Canterlot. Yes, Rarity is very talented when it comes to clothes making, but really. You all live in Canterlot! Go have your clothes made there!" I said.
They all glared at me, I didn't feel threatened at the least.
"Do I have to repeat myself?" I said, pointing my hand at them.
They all quickly bolted out of the door and climbed onto their carriages and took off. I sighed as I waved my hand, the sphere slowly dissipated.
"Thank you, deary", Rarity said as she let out a sigh of relief.
"No problem, Rarity", I said.
"Oh, also. Do you happen to have my suit here?" I asked.
"Hmm, I think I might have asked Spike to take it to Twilight's library a few days ago, when you first came here to get clothes, but I might have forgotten to give it to Spike when he left. I shall check and see, just make yourself comfortable while I take a look see", Rarity said as she trotted into a back room.
"Wow, Jeffry. You can be scary when you want to", Twilight said.
"Yeah... but I didn't want to drive them off like that.. something else made me do it", I said.
I felt the same thing back in the Gryphon Kingdom, the exact feeling I got when I started to use my magic after I woke up from blacking out..
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked, worry filled her voice.
"It's... uh, don't worry about it. I'll be okay", I said as I placed my hand on the side of my head.
I was starting to feel a bit uneasy, my head was hurting too. Whatever's going on, I didn't like the way things might turn out. I didn't have any dreams last night, so I don't expect anything to happen, nothing big that is. But what about the previous dreams I had just days after John and I came into this world? They haven't happened yet, or are they meaningless? I'll have to be wary of them of course, but the dream of that battle still confuses me. Why in the world would I want or need to fight John to the point where one of us will kill each other? And this him... and that dream of when my body looked a bit weird, it looked as if I had the same limps as the statue I had a dream about. I'll check the statue out later, when the Gala is finished.
"Ah, here it is sweety. It was in my closet with the rest of my finished orders", Rarity said as she came out with two suits floating beside her.
"Oh, thanks... why are there two though?" I asked, taking them from her magical hold.
"Ah yes, this one would be yours. And the other would be John's", Rarity said.
"Oh, guess we'll leave it here for now", I said as I set John's suit over a chair.
"Now, what shall we do?" Rarity asked.
"Hmm, didn't you say that you needed to get your dress done?" I pointed out
"Ah yes, of course. I should be finished by the time the girls arrive. Then, we shall go to the Gala!" Rarity cheered.
Rarity immediately went off to work on her dress, Twilight still wouldn't let me see her dress. After Rarity had finished with her dress, the others arrived as well. Applejack and John were the last of our friends to get here. Applebloom had already came to Rarity's boutique since she left the mansion before the other two, from what she said. John and I went into the backroom to change, while as the girls went upstairs to change in Rarity's room, must be pretty big for SEVEN ponies to be able to fit in there and move about freely to change into clothes.
"Damn, I hate wearing suits", John sighed as he looked himself over in the full body mirror.
"Well, it's not like you can't wear your armor to it", I laughed, nudging him with my elbow as I straightened out my bow tie.
"Actually, you will be wearing your armor to the Gala", a majestic voice said from behind us.
John and I turned around and saw that it was Princess Celestia, her sister stood beside her. They were both wearing... well, nothing but those metal slippers, tiara, that necklace.
"Wait, so we don't need to wear this?" John said, also as if he was happy.
"Of course, all high officials will be wearing either their uniforms, or something they prefer over their uniforms", Celestia said.
"Sweet!" John cheered, okay, he was happy about this.
"Wait, aren't you two going to wear anything other than those things you usually wear?" I asked as John clapped his hands together, his armor appearing above his head and crashed on top of him.
"We were, but I have forgotten to place an order. My sister suggested that we wear the dresses that Rarity was so kind to make for us, but we didn't like to wear the same thing over and over", Celestia said.
'Then what about that tiara, necklace, and them funny lookin' slippers?', I laughed mentally.
"Not to worry, Princess. For I have prepared a dress for you and your sister, long before you even thought of asking me", a voice came from the stairs.
Turning to the stairs, damn I do a lot of turning, I saw Twilight and the girls, all dressed up in their dresses. My attention was mainly glued to Twilight. She was wearing a light purple dress with a nearly transparent silver wavy ribbon around her neck. Stars and light white mist stained the hem of the dress. She wore a white and purple head dress.
"Well, what do you think?" Twilight asked, blushing as she came towards me.
"I think he likes it', John said as he closed my mouth for me.
"Really?" Twilight asked, getting happier.
"Yes, I do", I said, smiling at her beauty.
"What about me?" Applebloom asked as she hopped in front of John.
"... Who are you and what have you done to Applebloom?" John asked, playfully shaking Applebloom.
"John! It's me!" Applebloom giggled as she continued to get shaked.
"*Gasp* Impossible", John said as he let out a fake gasp.
While John and Applebloom continued with their little game of 'who are you?' Rarity brought over to magnificent dresses to the Princesses. They looked lovely, but not as lovely as Twilight.
"Why thank you Rarity", Princess Celestia said as she took hold of the dress with her magic.
"You may use my room or the backroom to get dressed", Rarity said as she and the girls moved away from the stairs to let the two Princesses go into the backroom or go upstairs.
"Thank you Rarity, we'll use the backroom", Celestia said as she trotted towards the room.
"Thou Plushy Human...", Luna said.
"Princess Pokey", I said, grinning at her.
"*Giggle* We have brought along thou's armor from our sisters room", she said as she floated a suit of armor from outside and into the shop.
"Thank you", I said as I snapped my fingers, teleporting my armor onto myself and removing Rarity's suit from my person.
John had already put on his armor... after it had fallen on top of him. All we had to do was wait for the Princesses to finish getting dressed, and then we can finally head off to the Gala. Twilight was my date, and Applejack was John's date. Let's just see if John can handle surviving at a formal party. I need to remind myself later about checking out that hedge maze, after the party though. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stepped out of the backroom, wearing the well made dresses that Rarity had made for them.
"Shall we be off?" Celestia asked.
We all said yes in agreement as we all walked out of the shop. Closing the store, we all got into the large carriage that Celestia nad her sister had arrived in. We were soon off into the sky, towards Canterlot. I looked over at Twilight, her mane flowing through the breeze as we flew through the air.
'Today's going to be a great day', I thought as I wrapped my arm around her neck and leaned back as she laid her head on my chest.
