Naruto let out a groan as he opened his eyes and looked around. He was greeted by the sight of a room that was not the one he had fallen asleep in.

Upon further inspection of the room, he spied a door to what he assumed was the bathroom and further down he saw massive golden doors. With his mind still in a daze, he decided to just say "screw it" and enjoy wherever the hell he was. Snuggling back into the bed he bumped his head against something soft and well defined.

At that moment he became aware that there was another presence in the bed. A familiar white arm snaked around his stomach and physically pulls him back.

"Good morning, my dear," the most beautiful, elegant, and very familiar voice whispered to him.

Naruto turned his head only to meet face to face with Celestia. Her magnificent multi-colored mane flowing like it was being blown by a soft breeze.

Naruto was trying to comprehend what was happening. The situation just seemed so impossible that his mind couldn't handle it. "W-What?"

Celestia's smile widened as she tilts her head forward, and plants a delicate kiss on his cheek.

"I enjoyed our time together last night. I had no idea you could be so…passionate." She informed the blond with a sultry tone, her gaze half-lidden as she gingerly and purposely trailed soft fingers along his covered form. The smile upon her lips was as sweet as honey and the motions of her fingers were like that of a feather gingerly teasing one's nose as used in common illustrations of mischief.

Just what in the hell did he do last night? He was finding it rather difficult to find the words.

"You seem rather confused," she noted as her hand came to a rest on his ribs and she softly began making clockwise strokes. "From what I could decipher you went to one of the local bars and ordered a drink. Apparently, the strength of the alcoholic content was a tad stronger than what you expected. You stormed my bedroom, then confessed your feelings and desires to make me your mare. You were so commanding." The Sun Goddess finished, wistful in her explanation as faint pink circles dusted her cheeks, representing her fondness for the memories. "The way that you grabbed my wrists, bent me over my desk before you tore off my garments and mounted me."

Naruto could feel a fire being kindled in his loins as Celestia continued going over the details of the previous night only fanned the ever-growing flames.

"Cadance is going to be so thrilled."

Wait, what?

"Wait, what?" Naruto found himself voicing his thoughts.

"My darling niece has been adamant in her pursuit of finding me a suitable companion or at least a consort seeing as love and everything that it entails is her domain. She must be informed at once so we can begin planning the wedding."

Naruto found himself suddenly reeling and stuttering from shock. "W-Wedding!?" He couldn't help but shout.

"Why of course," The sun mare replied as her eyes twinkled. "Did you think I would give myself to any stallion? When I mate, I mate for life. I wonder how my subjects will take the news of them gaining a prince?" She wondered with the same wistful expression from before.

Naruto felt like he was going to pass out. For fucks sake he didn't even remember getting drunk. How could this situation get any more hectic?

"Morning lover, we see that thee have wakened." There standing in the doorway of the bathroom was Princess Luna in a bathroom. "Has our sister told thee the good news? We look forward to making thee the royal husband." Celestia and Luna at the same time? The shock was simply too much for Naruto and he promptly fainted.

Naruto was later revived by the medical staff. After which he was invited to breakfast By Celestia where he refused to say a word to her or her sister. While Celestia was more or less taking it in stride one could notice Luna was visibly a bit more worried, not wanting to lose any ground with one of the few genuine friends she had in this time period.

While Naruto really wanted to hug and reassure Luna that he wasn't really mad at her (She was so adorable) his pride as a prankster would not allow him to forgive her so easily, at least until he came up with suitable payback. "Come now Naruto, surely you better than anyone can appreciate our little joke." Celestia began as she took a sip of her tea. "…or did we strike your pride a bit deeper than I originally calculated?" she playfully teased the blond.

Oh, he was definitely going to get Celestia back. "I forgive you, Luna, I know you were probably roped into it by her," He spoke to Luna without acknowledging Celestia with even glance.

"Aah yes, our sister has always been rather devious," Luna saw an out and promptly latched onto it so to speak in order to at least remove some of the blond's ire with her. After all, he didn't need to know the whole thing had actually been her idea.

"Traitor…" Celestia playfully responded. "It wasn't even going to be my idea to go as myself and you were more than happy to join in." The fact he had woken up to Celestia and not Luna was because it was agreed that waking up to her would be more shocking. Though in hindsight they missed the more amusing alternative of just having Celestia walk in on him and play the role of angry big sister. Oh well, there was always next time.

"Nah, pretty sure it was all you." Naruto retorted to Celestia who only gave him a look. "Yeah, yeah, now about why I'm here." He was here after all in response to the letter he had sent Celestia.

"Aah yes, you're interested in hunting the Condemned," Celestia noted with a nod of interest. "That has been a matter of concern that I admit haven't been able to delve into. Sectors within the land have been wrought with criminal activity that has taken up a good deal of my focus. The PR has been a nightmare, not to mention doing my best to keep the public calm. Panic and fear are powerful tools to the likes of them."

"Right, and who better to deal with the likes of Equestria's worst criminals then somepony who has dealt with his own fair share of psychos?" Not to mention he really needed the money.

Using her magic Celestia willed to the table a large stack of files that were separated into folders. Each folder held within it extensive data, background, and offenses of each criminal. "As you recall the Summer Sun Celebration incident led to you being honored and deputized as an agent of the crown."

He had remembered Celestia alluding to the fact once, but he didn't know the full details or the extent of what that exactly meant. "Yes, I believe I recall you mentioning that in passing."

"Then as a result of one of my powers invested in me as a ruler I now give you status as a provisional officer in charge of the investigation, confrontation, and arrest of the "Condemned" and all acting agents that are in connection with them or criminals in their class."

Naruto was well aware of provisional promotions. Such a thing had occurred back during his era as the Seventh when people beyond the five nations had tried to stir up conflict within the land thanks to advances in technology that allowed for easier traveling around the planet. "And what would my equivalent rank be?"

"Captain," Celestia answered to his surprise.

One of the first things Naruto learned about after he had accepted that this place was his home was to learn more about the political and military structure of this world. Majors were typically assigned specialized executive or operations officers for battalion-sized units of roughly a thousand soldiers.

"That high of a rank?" He couldn't help but press Celestia for more information.

It was Luna who answered him. "After much deliberation, we came to an agreement that the talent thee wields along with battle experience would be wasted on a rank less than a captain."

The rank of captain was a ceremonial position, holding the authority of a general in whatever capital city they were assigned to. Though, when it came to matters of the country or aerial and navy troops their actual rank was equal to that of a highly decorated major. The duty of the captains amounted to protect and guard the ruling body of that city and maintain the city's defense.

For instance, the captains in Canterlot duties consisted of protecting the Princess, and defense of the capital and surrounding towns. That did not mean the position did not have any prestige. One of the main perks was being a major player in politics, but then again most people er ponies didn't like to deal with politics. Captains could also work the functions of a Drill Sergeant, Gunnery Captain, Shield-wielder, Lord Protector or any other commanding position.

If he were to become a captain that would mean he would gain control of his own group of soldiers.

"Would I be gaining soldiers to serve under my command?"

"Indeed, with your unique abilities and your desire for pay, we thought of an arrangement that would benefit both sides. While this was going to be a surprise, having you work with us on creating this will speed up the process. During the planned ceremony we were to make an announcement of the creation of the Night Guards with an invite to you for the position of Captain, but an announcement of the Night Guards success in maintaining Equestria's safety makes for a far more fitting announcement."

Naruto turned, looking at Luna in surprise. "So, will you accept our offer?"

"I would be honored, Princess Luna." He said with a bow. He was beginning to wonder if he was growing a bit soft? Then again Luna was a friend so he didn't mind indulging in the whole stuffy spiel if it made her happy. Also, he wasn't sure if Luna's smile could be any grander if she tried.

"That is the reason why we gave you the Provisional rank in the meantime. We still have to go through the process of training troops, the funding, finish remodeling the old Night Guard Barracks, and many other issues. Until that is complete it would be the only way you could officially and legally wield any power as an officer of the court. You will, of course, be meeting with the other Captain and military personnel in due time."

"Right," Naruto replied with a nod. He figured that was going to be the case. "Would I be expected to leave Ponyville?" If he had to leave behind the bearers and the rest of his friends that would without a doubt be one of the most awkward if not most difficult thing he would have to do. After all, he had just accepted being Captain of the Night Guard and he wasn't one to go back on his word.

"Normally that would be the case, but it's a good thing you know a way to travel between the Canterlot and Ponyville in an instant. Hopefully, you still plan on making it usable for our citizens. Patenting such a thing would also help your money problems."

Naruto wanted to slap himself. Of course, "The Flying Thunder God." He couldn't use it in battle, but it was still usable to teleport from place to place once he created the seals and placed them at key points. Well, he might as well see what he could get started on.
