An Electrifying Journey

Chapter 16 - The gala

Hmmm nothing much to say here.

But just thanks for you support guys!

I opened my eyes to be welcomed by the warm glow of the sun. Today's the day, today is the Gala. I sat up and placed the gem on the side table. I yawned as I stood up to walk to the balcony and admire the view.

I went back inside and was surprised that Sam and rarity were also in the room. I smiled and went to the living room. I saw a small list on the side table beside the large sofa. It was a list of food that the hotel serves. I saw a buttons on the wall I examined it to see words that says "service", "food", "House keeping" and more.

I pressed the "breakfast button and I heard a voice from the speaker beside the buttons. I began taking orders for our breakfast and waited. Now I will have to pay for it too. I looked around the room for my sling bag and I saw it on the other sofa.

It was covered with small blood stains here and there. I opened it to see its contents, all the gems and the two bags were still there. I opened one of the money bags and counted the notes, both bags still have 2000 bits. Huh who paid for the gem?

I heard the door open and saw Twilight come out. "Mornin Twi." Twilight smiled, she loved him to call her that nickname, it was what her best friends and parents normally call her. "Morning." She yawned and sat beside me on the sofa.

"Who paid for the gem?" I asked.
Twilight sat there for a while, thinking. "Oh yeah! I paid for your gem. It was rather expensive but I could manage." she smiled.

"Oh, here, I was about to pay for it until I was robbed." I handed here 700 bits. She hesitantly took it with her magic. "Thanks twi." I smiled, stroking her mane. I heard the doorbell ring and I opened the door to see a cart filled with plates. This must be breakfast.

I paid the stallion who went up to deliver our meal. I called the mane six for breakfast and afterwards, we went out together to town to shop for clothes for tonight. Rarity brought us to this shop which she went yesterday. Everypony and Sam took their measurements and Rarity paid 3000 bits for all of them! I shook at the price.

It was already 3 in the afternoon when we went out of the shop. The Gala was still 3 hours later so we went to the salon. Sam and I just stood back and watched as they fixed up their manes. Afterwards, it was already 5 in the afternoon.

We went back to the hotel to get changed. Sam wore a gown, I wore the clothes that Celestia gave me and the mane six wore the dresses they wore in the show.

I smiled at myself in the mirror. And fixed up my hair and we were off to the castle.

Were now entering the castle gates. We were stopped by the two guards there. "You tickets ma' am?" one of them asked. Twilight used her magic to give the guards all 8 tickets and we entered the castle square.

It was filled with many ponies, all in formal clothes. All of them were talking to one another. Everpony went their separate ways but Sam and I sticked with Twilight. We entered the castle and on the top of the grand stairs, Celestia and Luna were there. Celestia was greeting a couple before they entered the ballroom.

Luna was in a beautiful night gown, it was dark blue, it matches her coat and her beautiful galaxy hair. She looked at me and smiled widely. I smiled back. As soon as we were in front of the sisters, Luna ran to me and placed her front hooves around me. She looked at me, her blue eyes sparkling and her smile still on her face.

"Hello again princess, looking beautiful." I smiled. Luna blushed and let go of me. "Hello Davis, thanks. You look good too."

After exchanging greetings with Celestia, Twilight, Sam and I went to the castle ball room. "Davis!" I heard Luna shout. I turned to Luna who was now in front of me. "Meet me later at the garden in an hour." She winked. "I have something to show you."

I smiled at her "Me too princess." I stroked her mane and went in the ballroom.

The ballroom was filled with ponies dancing to the music. I saw Vinyl on stage with her deejay board in front of her. She was not playing any music though, she was just relaxing behind the board. I saw that one famous pony musician. Hmmm what was her name again? ...Octavia was it? I wondered, staring at her as she played the bass, accompanied by more ponies playing other instruments behind her.

I shrugged and went to the large food table with a wide variety of food on it. I took a plate and cutleries and took the food I wanted. After eating, I saw Rainbow and Applejack come in from the door. They approached me to get some punch. "Hey Davis. How are ya doin?" Applejack asked.

"Awesome." I smiled, taking a glass of punch and drinking from it. "Hey, I see your Luna, lover boy." Rainbow pointed to Luna who was about to go out to the garden.

"W-what?" I said nervously.

Applejack pushed me. "Go on, Davis, it's alright." Applejack smirked. I shook my head as I followed Luna without making her take notice of me.

She stopped by the pond, looking around for me. I sneak behind her and closed her eyes. She yelped and cringed. I took off my hands from her and stroked her back. She turned and smiled at me. I smiled back and she leapt to me to hug me.

We hugged each other for a good 5 minutes, enjoying each others warmth. "I have something to tell you Davis." Luna said, looking at me with a wide grin. "I have something to give you." I smiled back, combing her galaxy mane.

Luna sat down and I did the same. She leaned her head against my shoulder, looking into the pond. I help her close with my right arm. "Tia was looking for a transformation spell yesterday and she came upon one that would be able to turn you into a pony without you being hurt." she nuzzled me.

"That's great!" I looked at her in the eyes, smiling. We stared at each other for a while, not in anger, not in curiosity, but in love. I put my right hand on her cheeks and smiled. "I made something for you." I fished out the gem from my pocket.

Luna smiled from eye to eye as she looked at the glowing gem. "I-its ... amazing!" Luna said, taking the gem using her hooves and brought it close to her. "I looked for a gem for you and I paid someone to help carve it out." I hugged her. She looked at the sparkling gem and up to me. "Thank you." She kissed my cheek, my eyes opened wide and I felt the warmness of her lips transfer to my cheeks.

I smiled and put the necklace on her. Luna looked down at it and shook it. Now it sparkled even more. Luna and I sat there, telling her what I did during the two days. Luna listened with enthusiasm.

After telling her about all the accidents that happened, me having a heat stroke and getting beaten up by the thieves, Luna had a worried look on her face. "You went through so much for this gem." She looked back down at the gem and shook it lightly. I put my hand around her hoof which was holding the gem. "Of course I did."

Luna looked at me with concern "You did not have to." I saw her eyes well up.

"I would do anything, for my love." I smiled at her. A tear went down her cheek and she came close to me and I wrapped her around my arms. "I love you." Luna whispered and nuzzled me. I felt like I was the most happiest man in the universe. "I love you too, Luna." We sat there, embracing each other.

Celestia watched from a distance. She saw the human and pony bond together and exchanging gifts. Celestia felt her heart melt at how sweet and romantic they were. For the first time, Celestia saw her sister so close with somepony else and Celestia never saw her sister so happy before.

Celestia left them alone and went back to the ballroom. She made the right choice. Celestia smiled to herself and looked back to the garden to see Luna and Davis now hugging each other. Celestia left them alone and continued with her duties in the ballroom.

I love this chapter so much.
I was listening to "Fire flies" while writing this.
It really matches the scene.

I want to thank you guy for your support and sorry if I written anything that offends any of you.

Until then, R&R.
