An Electrifying Journey

Chapter 14 - Canterlot

Hello again!

IMPORTANT NOTE = I am so sorry but I am going to make Davis a pony because I got some chapters planned for him and there will also be something special about that.

I want to thank you guys for the support!
Upon the release of ONE chapter, my iphone has been vibrating all night because of all the messages stating, "The following member has added your story to his/her favourite." Thanks guys!

Now on with the story!

After a short nap I sat up, this time, with lesser pain searing through my body. I looked out of the window to see the sun beginning to set. I stood up slowly as my shoulders are aching and I approached the balcony to look at the scenery, the birds flying towards the sun, the fillies going home from school and the sun setting down to Sweet Apple Acres across the horizons.

I heard noises coming from downstairs and I went out to check it out. I saw the mane six, all of them, and Sam, sitting around the living room talking. Spike was rummaging the large basket for gems that he liked, behind him, there was a small pile of gems.

They never noticed that I am up already so I quietly went down the stairs. "Spike." Twilight shouted. Spike looked up to Twilight. "That's enough, we will give you the remains once we decided which gems we want." Spike mumbled as he picked up his gem pile and was about to go upstairs until he saw me, "Oh hello Davis! Your up." Well that blew my plan.

Everybody and pony turned to look at me. "Davis? Are you sure your ok? You don't seem in a good condition to walk around now." Twilight said, a worried look on her eyes.
"Naaah. I am fine, my shoulders ache that's all." I said, patting my left shoulder. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Were having a sleepover!" Pinkie shouted in excitement. "Yeah, you did promise us to hangout right?" Rainbow added.

"Yeah I guess I did." I said with a smile. I sat at an empty space beside Sam. "We are planning to go to Canterlot tomorrow to get ready for the Gala the following night." Sam said.

I thought about it, "What about the surprise gift that I am going to give to Luna?" Rarity used her magic to levitate a ruby to show me. "We got it handled darling."

"You guys made the gift for me?" I asked, taking the ruby floating in front of me. "No, we dont even know what ya plannin' to do make fer Luna." Applejack replied.

"Then how am I supposed to make this in time?" I asked, looking the sapphire and ruby in my hands. Twilight replied "Princess Celestia said that she knew someone in town who can craft gems perfectly. So she made him aware of our arrival there. Just draw out the plan and he will carve it out for you."

"Oh, thanks for your help Twi, does Luna know of our arrival there?" I asked. "Well, no. The Princess will keep it a secret and we are not staying in the castle. Princess rent out a room for us at a hotel there." Sam explained.

"Awesome. When are we leaving?" I asked with excitement.

"Tomorrow." Everypony and body said in unison. "Awesome! So that's why you guys are having this sleepover right?" I asked. In response, everypony nodded.

After dinner, we went to our respective rooms because we were leaving early tomorrow. Fluttershy, Rarity and Sam slept with in one room while Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow and Pinkie slept in the other room.

The following day...

I was fast asleep beside Fluttershy, I was having a nice dream until there was loud bang. Everybody and pony n the room sat up immediately, eyes wide opened. I turned to the door to see Applejack smiling. "Wake up sleepy heads." Like dominoes, Sam fell back on her pillow, followed by Rarity, then Fluttershy and then me. I closed my eyes. "Ok if thats what yer asking, thats what ahm givin'!" I heard Applejack said.

"AAAAhhhH!" I shouted as I felt something heavy land on me. I opened my eyes to see Applejack standing on me smiling. She pushed me off the bed and I fell with a thud. Rude much? "Oof!" I grunted as Fluttershy fell on me. I heard a few more shouts on the opposite of the bed. "Nopony goes on tha bed!" Applejack shouted, a smile on her face. We all groaned.

I looked out of the window to see that the sun has not yet risen. We went down for breakfast, Sam and I took a shower and changed. I took note of her new clothes. Nice work Sweetie Belle! I commended in my mind as I smiled at the shirt.

We were now set to leave and so we did. We waited at the fields for the carriage to arrive. The sun is halfway up the horizon when I saw a carriage coming towards us, it was being pulled by 4 guards. They landed with a thud and the carriage came to a full stop right in front us.

"Your letter?" The guard asked sternly. Twilight flashed the letter that Celestia sent. The guard nodded his head and everyone hopped onto the carriage.

Once everyone has settled, the carriage began to pick up speed and soon after, the carriage is lifted up in the air. I admire the sun rise as we made our to Canterlot.

After a while, I got queasy and pushed Sam aside and opened my mouth, looking out of the carriage. I puked. I wiped my mouth. I guess I am not one for flying. I turned to be greeted by curious faces. "A-are you okay?" Sam asked in digust.

"I am alright." I smiled faintly. "I am not used to flying thats all." We continued our way to Canterlot, a few more pukes along the way.

After 20 minutes, we touched down Canterlot air field, not in Canterlot castle. "We received direct order from the Princess that you are not allowed to land in the castle." the guard told Twilight.

"Understood." She said as she hopped off the carriage followed by the rest of us. I looked at the magnificent towers and buildings and sighed in delight.

The carriage took off behind us. "Welcome to Canterlot!" Twilight smiled.

We went to the hotel that Celestia booked for us and it was bigger than I thought. She booked for us the top floor. Sam went to the balcony, spread her arms to the view of Canterlot. "This place is beautiful!"

"It is is'nt it?" I said, leaning on the wall as I looked at the view of canterlot, the bustling town and the majestic castle.

After settling in for an hour, we went to walk around town. All the ponies here reminds me of the British back on Earth. I was hoping for something like the ponies in ponyville. There was this couple who walked towards Sam and I, their heads help high. Pride... pride. I shook my head.

The mare asked, "My! What on Equestria are you?" I was about to answer until the stallion added "What horrifying creatures!". I frowned and answered "Excuse me?" Twilight and her friends realised that we were no longer following and stopped to look at us.

"It talks too?" the mare shouted. "Well yeah. Got a problem with that?" I asked, annoyed. "My! Your coat is simply, ugly." The stallion commented, flicking the end of my shirt. I smacked his hoof off softly, "It s my clothes this is my skin, which you call a coat." I said, pointing at my arm. "And this clothes are not ugly! Their magnificent! And a filly designed it for me, can any other fillies do better?" I shouted in annoyance, causing a crowd to form.

"Hmph! No wonder why it is so ... childish." The mare said. Turning around and flicking her tail to my nose. I sneezed as they walked away the same way they approached us. I wiped my nose. "God, is there anypony worse than they are?"

We continued our way to the gem carving shop that Twilight mentioned.

After half an hour of walking, we found it. It was rather small for a gem shop. The door was wooden with a brass knob and painted glass on the upper part of it. Beside the door there was a large display of huge gems in different shapes. Beautiful. I commented.

"Well you can stay here, I want to go buy something for tomorrow." Twilight noted before walking down the street.
"Maybe ahm going fer a walk around here, wanna come rainbow? Applejack and rainbow went the other way.
"I am going window shopping for clothes for tomorrow." Rarity said before going the opposite way with Fluttershy following behind.

Sam and I entered the shop. There were display cases, lots of them. And gems of various shapes and sizes were displayed all over the place.

I went to a desk which I thought was the counter. When I was there, I leaned forward to see a stallion with his back to me, he was looking for something in the drawer. "Um excuse me?" I asked. The stallion bumped his head in shock. "Who is it?" He turned and looked at me. "Oh you must be the human the princess was talking about." he said nervously. I smiled and asked "When should we begin?"

The grey stallion pointed to a table "This way, we shall discuss about the measurements."

The three of us sat around the table and we discussed about the gem I wanted him carve.

Thanks for reading.

R&R!

See you again!
