I woke up the next day at the right time and started my morning workout. I had to adjust it a bit, as there was no gym I could see, and simply did Saitama's workout: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 kilometer run. As I did the run, I noticed that Rainbow was up early, too. She was doing a workout of her own, but she didn't seem to notice me. I continued running and saw Applejack and her family hard at work in the orchard. I even saw Fluttershy tending to some animals that lived near her house. When I got to the library, I saw Twilight and Spike looking at a list. Twilight then looked at me and gasped.
"Are you okay? You're sweating pretty bad." She said.
"Just a result of the workout. I just need a shower." I said. I then went to the bathroom and turned the shower on, Twilight walked in and I gave her a look.
"How are you sweating this much?" She asked.
"Humans have more sweat glands than ponies." I said.
"I see." Twilight said.
"If you'll kindly excuse me?" I asked. Twilight then realized it and quickly left. I then got undressed and hopped in the shower. After I had done so, Twilight walked back in and grabbed my dirty clothes before putting clean ones that were on a hanger on a hook. After I finished showering, I got out to dry myself off, only to stop when I heard the door start to open.
"Steve? You decent?" A voice asked. I recognized it as Pinkie.
"I just finished showering, Pinkie! Of course not!" I said. Pinkie then walked in, not looking, and grabbed a towel. She held it out to me and I took it, drying off a bit before wrapping it around my waist.
"Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Applejack all said they saw you. I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out for a bit. Maybe get some breakfast." Pinkie said. I walked out of the shower, going to my clothes, and sighing.
"How can I get breakfast if I have no money?" I asked. Pinkie then chuckled.
"I'd pay, of course!" She said. She then looked away as I grabbed my boxers and let the towel fall so I could put them on. Once my boxers were on, I put the rest of my clothes on. Pinkie then smiled and I walked out, Pinkie following behind. I then saw the other girls and Applejack smiled when she saw me.
"There he is." She said.
"I take it you were going to make me breakfast?" I asked.
"I was," Applejack said, "but Twilight wouldn't let me."
"Because we don't know if he can eat the foods we have." Twilight said.
"Humans are omnivorous. We can eat plants and meat. Though," I said, "I suppose meat is out of the question at the current moment."
"Perhaps the Princess can arrange something." Twilight said.
"Anyways," I said, "I should probably get going. Need to report to the Mayor to see if anyone needs police assistance." Scootaloo then came downstairs and walked up to me.
"Can you drop me off at school on your way?" She asked. I smiled.
"Sure thing." I said. The two of us then left and I took her to school. When I arrived, I saw her teacher and parked the car. Scootaloo then looked at me and placed a hand on my arm.
"Could you walk me to the door?" She asked. I looked at her and smiled.
"Of course." I said. I then got out as she did and I walked her to the door. Her teacher was confused.
"Scootaloo," she said, "mind explaining who this is and why they're walking you to the door?" Scootaloo was too scared to speak, so I took a breath.
"My name is Steve Reagan, ma'am. I'm her guardian. You were told of what happened to her family, right?" I asked. The teacher then gasped and nodded.
"I almost forgot. Mayor Mare did say something about Scootaloo having a new guardian. My name is Cheerilee. I'm her teacher." She spoke.
"A pleasure to meet you. You're aware of my job, right?" I asked.
"I am. I'll be sure to have someone inform you if something comes up." Cheerilee said. I nodded and knelt down to Scootaloo.
"It might be tough," I said, "but try and hang in there. Okay?" Scootaloo nodded and hugged me. I hugged back, saying a mental prayer for her to stay safe.
"You'll be picking me up, right?" She asked. I broke the hug and looked at her.
"Of course I will. Do your best today, okay?" I asked.
"Okay." She said, nodding.
"Alright. Be good." I said. I then stood up and Scootaloo went inside.
"School ends at around two in the afternoon." Cheerilee said.
"I'll be here at 1:30 then." I said. I then went to my car and got in, driving off towards City Hall. As I drove, I got a call. I answered it and put it on speaker.
"Steve? Is that you?" A voice asked. I recognized it immediately.
"What do you need, Rarity?" I asked.
"Could you come by Carousel Boutique? I need your opinion on the formal uniforms for the Equestria Police Bureau." Rarity said.
"On my way, Rarity." I said. I then hung up and drove towards Carousel Boutique. When I got there, I saw two guards standing at the door. I got out and the guards went to attention.
"Commissioner!" One said.
"As you were, gentlemen." I said, approaching them. The two stood normally and allowed me to walk past. I entered the boutique and smiles as I saw Rarity holding up two different fabrics to Princess Celestia.
"I want to go with this color," she said, "but others are saying this one! Oh, I'm so confused!"
"Go with the Navy Blue. Makes it more professional." I said. Rarity looked at me in shock, but held up a piece of Navy Blue fabric to a uniform design and smiled.
"It's perfect!" She said.
"Now the design. I think we should mimic the uniform of the Royal Guard." Princess Celestia said. I looked at the designs and one caught my attention.
"Where did this design come from?" I asked, holding it up. Rarity looked at it and scoffed.
"Sweetie Belle found that in a book at school. She said it had something to do with a paramilitary organization. I was going to trash it." Rarity said.
"This design is from where I lived." I said.
"Really?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah. This is the formal uniform for the NYPD. It's the most well known uniform. I recognize it from the patch." I said.
"The patch?" Rarity asked. I grabbed a magnifying glass and held it over the side of the uniform jacket, enlarging the patch for it.
"This patch was made famous by the NYPD. It's ingenious, really." I said. Princess Celestia gave a nod of approval and Rarity smiled.
"I believe you're right. This will be the perfect EQPB formal uniform." She spoke.
"I second that." Princess Celestia said. I then got a call again, surprising Princess Celestia, and I answered it.
"Reagan." I said.
"Mr. Steve? I-is that you?" A voice asked. I then heard clattering in the background and went on alert.
"Who is this?" I asked.
"S-Sweetie Belle. I'm in school right now, speaking telepathically. There's two stallions here with guns! They… they shot Miss Cheerilee!" The voice said. I felt a pit in my stomach and got serious.
"Are they who I think?" I asked.
"Yes! You have to hurry! Please! They've already shot other students!" Sweetie exclaimed. I then hung up and ran out.
"What's going on?" Rarity asked.
"The two stallions that raped you are at the school," I said, "and they've already shot Cheerilee and other students." I then ran to my car, which I still had running, and turned the ELS on. I backed away a bit before turning towards the direction of the school and turning the siren on, going at a high rate of speed. Ponies moved out of the way, some looking at my car in awe, and I saw Twilight with Spike at City Hall. They seemed to know something was up because Twilight mouthed a prayer. I got to the school and turned the siren off, turning my body cam on, before going to the back and grabbing my M4A1 Carbine. I then grabbed a flashbang and heard a scream from inside. I ran to the door and peeked inside. I saw Cheerilee with other students, trying to protect them. The two stallions held guns out and I saw three students at another wall, bullet holes in their heads.
"The longer you refuse to cooperate," one said, "the more students we kill! Where is the picture that was in this book?!" I saw a book that was held up and readied the flashbang. I saw the other stallion grab another child and take them to the wall where the executed students were.
"No! Please, no! I don't want to die!" The student said. I then removed the flashbang's pin and gently rolled it in before moving to the other side. The stallions looked at the flashbang curiously.
"What the?" The second asked. Before they could move, the flashbang went off and I kicked the door in.
"POLICE! DON'T MOVE! GET ON THE GROUND! NOW!!!!" I yelled. One of the stallions aimed at me and I fired once, hitting them in the shoulder and causing them to drop the gun. The other stallion was still disoriented and had complied with my commands. I kicked their weapons away before putting my rifle behind me and cuffing the one who was compliant first. The one I had shot was trying to get to the weapon, but I had stopped them and cuffed them.
"Thank Celestia you came!" Cheerilee said.
"Are there any more?" I asked.
"No. It was just these two." A student said. I then cleared the rest of the room before sighing.
"Room clear." I said. I saw Scootaloo run to me and I knelt down, hugging her tightly. She soon sobbed into my chest.
"I was so scared!" She cried.
"It's okay now, Scoots. It's okay." I said. A squad of guards then ran in and I looked at them.
"Were you first on scene, Commissioner?" The Squad Leader asked.
"I was. My body cam is recording." I said.
"Alright. We'll take care of the wounded and the suspects. A processing team is on its way here." The Squad Leader said.
"Alright. I'll stay with the children until their parents come and get them." I said.
[At Ponyville Café….]
After a few moments, and SEVERAL parents thanking me for saving their children, Scootaloo and I went to a restaurant for lunch and saw Twilight with Spike at a table.
"Mind if we sit with you?" I asked. Twilight looked at us and nodded.
"Sure." She said. Scootaloo and I sat down and Twilight seemed to be a bit more eased.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Twilight got two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala," Spike said, "and she can't decide who to give one to." I gave a look of confusion.
"The what?" I asked.
"It's a party that happens every so often in Canterlot. Only the most elite of ponies get to go." Twilight said.
"Twilight received the invitation," Spike said, "but she seems to have trouble deciding who to give her extra ticket to."
"Oh," Twilight whined, "I can't choose! If I give one ticket to one friend, the others will feel bad! I could give away both tickets, but even if I do that will still leave three upset ponies!"
"Why not send both back?" I asked.
"Huh?" Twilight asked.
"If you can't choose who to give the other ticket to," I said, "send both back and tell Princess Celestia that you won't go if ALL your friends can't." Twilight then thought about it and gave a nod.
"That just might work!" She said. The waiter then came over and set down a glass of water in front of me.
"I haven't even ordered yet." I said.
"Compliments of the table over there." The waiter said. I looked to where the waiter pointed and saw two families eating together. Two fillies smiled and gave small waves. I recognized them as students of Cheerilee.
'So,' I thought, 'they decided to eat here, too.' I then sipped the water and sighed. I then looked at the menu and saw something that caught my eye.
"Have you made your decision?" The waiter asked.
"I'll take a daffodil and daisy sandwich." Twilight said.
"I'll just have some muffins." Scootaloo said.
"Do you have any gems?" Spike asked.
'What?' I thought. The waiter shook their head.
"No? Alright. I'll have the hay fries. Extra crispy!" Spike said.
"For you, sir?" The waiter asked.
"I'll try the brown sugar and bourbon glazed vegetables." I said. The waiter nodded and went inside the restaurant. Twilight gave a smile before looking at Spike.
"Spike," she said, "take a letter, please." Spike pulled out a quill and a piece of parchment before lookjng at Twilight.
"Whenever you're ready." He said.
"Dear Princess Celestia," Twilight spoke, "I appreciate the thought, but I can't choose between all of my friends. Friendship is about sharing something that means a lot to someone. Therefore, I'm returning BOTH tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. If all my friends can't go, then I don't want to either. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Twilight put the tickets in with the letter and Spike sent it all to Princess Celestia. The waiter then came back with our food and set it down.
"You did the right thing, Twilight." I said. I then started to eat, but stopped as it was knocked out of my hand and looked to see my plate was gone, too.
"What the?!" Scootaloo and Spike asked. I looked and saw someone laughing as they ate it all in one setting. I glared and stood up. Before I could move, Twilight stopped me with her magic. I looked at her and she shook her head.
"It's not worth it." She said. I sighed before the waiter was stunned.
"Um, madam? Are you going to eat your food in ze rain?" He asked. I looked around me and was stunned when I saw it was raining. I then heard a swiping sound and saw the same one from earlier with Twilight's sandwich and Spike's fries.
"HEY!" I yelled. They cackled, but it was short lived as lightning had struck them. Scootaloo gasped and I ran to them. I felt for a pulse and immediately started CPR when I didn't feel one. Twilight and Spike then ran to me, not caring about the rain. I kept going until I heard a sharp gasp. I stopped the chest compressions as the victim was now conscious again. They coughed for a bit before looking at me.
"What happened?" They asked.
"You were struck by lightning." I said.
"He saved your life." Spike said.
"Even AFTER you stole our food." Twilight said.
"It's my job to stop criminals," I said, "but I also help save lives."
"Even if you know they did wrong?" The pony asked.
"I don't pick the vic." I said. The pony put their head down in shame. I then stood up and went to Scootaloo, who immediately hugged me, and we walked back to my car.
"What are we going to do about lunch?" Scootaloo asked.
"I have a good idea." I said.
[At Sugarcube Corner….]
After a few seconds of driving, I smiled as I saw Scootaloo drinking a milkshake. I had decided to take Scootaloo to Sugarcube Corner. I then looked and smiled as I saw Pinkie walking to me with some muffins.
"Fresh from the oven!" She said.
"Thank you, Pinkie." I said.
"It's what I do!" Pinkie spoke. She set them down before I looked and saw Rarity dragging Twilight somewhere.
'This might not end well.' I thought.
"Pinkie," I said, "can you watch Scootaloo for a bit? I need to deal with something."
"Sure! I can watch her for you!" Pinkie said. I then went outside and stopped Rarity.
"Ah, Steve! Perfect timing!" Rarity said.
"She sent both tickets back, Rarity." I said. Twilight then managed to get free and stood behind me.
"I was trying to tell you! I sent back both tickets because I didn't want to go if ALL my friends couldn't!" Twilight said. Rarity was stunned, but understood.
"I…. I see. I'm sorry for not listening." Rarity said.
"You're forgiven, Rarity." Twilight said. I looked overhead and saw Rainbow with the same stunned look on her face. She then flew off and I sighed.
"Stick with me, Twilight. I get the feeling there's more than what we think." I said. Twilight nodded and we walked to Sugarcube Corner together. Pinkie then gasped and approached Twilight quickly.
"I know what you're going to ask," Twilight said, "but I already sent both tickets back. If all my friends can't go, then I don't want to either." I saw Pinkie's mane deflate a bit before she realized what Twilight was saying.
"That means you asked if more tickets could be sent, right?" Pinkie asked.
"It was implied." Twilight said.
"I don't think she responded back yet." I said. Twilight's stomach then growled and I smiled before holding out a muffin to her. She took it and started eating.
"That should sate your hunger for a bit." Pinkie said. Twilight swallowed and nodded.
"Yeah," she spoke, "this helps." I smiled as Spike walked in, looking like he was about to vomit.
"You okay, Spike?" I asked. Spike then gave a loud burp and I backed away so I didn't catch fire. A scroll then appeared and Twilight gasped.
"A letter from the Princess!" She said. Spike grabbed the letter and opened it.
"Dear Twilight," Spike read, "I appreciate you telling me of your dilemma." Six tickets then came out of the scroll and Spike gasped.
"Now we can all go!" Twilight said. I smiled as Twilight gave Pinkie a ticket before taking Spike with her to deliver the others. I then got a call and answered it.
"Reagan." I said.
"I see what Rarity meant now by a blockage." A voice said. I immediately recognized it.
"Princess Celestia?" I asked.
"Meet me at the location for the Equestria Police Bureau HQ. We have some things to discuss." Princess Celestia said.
"On my way. Is it okay if I have Scootaloo with me? Considering what happened earlier?" I asked.
"Sure." Princess Celestia said. I then hung up and Scootaloo got up and we went to my car, getting in. I then drove off and smiled as I saw Twilight with the others. I then got an idea and grinned.
"Watch this." I said. I then slowed and used the horn on my PA system, causing them all to jump. Scootaloo and I then started laughing as Pinkie ended up in Rainbow's arms, Fluttershy hid behind Rarity, who was frozen in place, Applejack had landed in a bucket, and Spike was clinging onto Twilight, who was using her magic to create a barrier. Rainbow saw us and caught on before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Spike asked. Rainbow pointed to me and Scootaloo, causing them to look at us. I then used the PA's horn again and they all caught on and started laughing.
"He got us good!" Pinkie said. I then continued to drive off. Scootaloo smiled before looking nervous.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Um…. I have a rather weird question." Scootaloo spoke.
"What is it?" I asked.
"C-could I… call you 'dad' from now on?" She asked. The question caught me off guard for a bit, but then I sensed a hidden meaning.
"Are you being bullied, Scootaloo?" I asked.
"There's two fillies who are bullying me. Their names are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon." Scootaloo said.
"Have they been calling you names?" I asked.
"They keep calling me a 'blank flank.' It's because I don't have a cutie mark yet." Scootaloo said.
"Cutie mark?" I asked.
"Oh, right. You aren't normally from Equestria. Cutie marks symbolize a pony's special talent. They appear on our flanks." Scootaloo said.
"Then why haven't I seen any?" I asked.
"Because of the clothes. It's not customary for anyone other than parents to see their child's cutie mark unless they trust the pony." Scootaloo said.
'Sounds about right. I totally forgot that everyone in this version of Equestria is anthropomorphic,' I thought, 'and has to wear clothes to keep warm. Why am I just now realizing that when I should have seen that when I first ARRIVED in Equestria?'
"So," I said, "they're picking on you because you don't have a cutie mark yet?" I asked.
"Yeah," Scootaloo said, sounding dejected, "and I can't think of a way to try and get one. Diamond Tiara has a cute-ceañera planned a few days from now. Before you ask, it's a celebration for when a girl gets her cutie mark."
"What's it called when a guy gets one?" I asked. Scootaloo went to answer, but stopped and thought about it.
"I don't know." She said.
"Something to ask Princess Celestia then." I said.
"Still," Scootaloo said, "the other members of my class have theirs already. Those of us who don't are teased and picked on by others. Today was different. Normally I get picked on because I have no cutie mark. Today, Diamond Tiara said something hurtful on top of it."
"What did she say?" I asked.
"She said," Scootaloo spoke, "and I quote, 'The only thing worse than a blank flank is a Pegasus blank flank that can't fly.' That really hurt me!" When I heard that, I almost turned the car around and asked where Diamond Tiara lived.
"Did you tell Miss Cheerilee?" I asked.
"I never could! They wouldn't let me go anywhere! I just clenched my teeth and glared at Diamond Tiara! She just had this grin on her face and made it even worse!" Scootaloo said.
"What did she do?" I asked.
"I had tears welling up in my eyes," Scootaloo said, "and I gave a low groan. Diamond Tiara thought it was a sob and asked me if I was going to cry to my mommy about it, but then turned it around by saying, and I quote, 'Oh, wait. I forgot. You have no mommy anymore! She probably got tired of you and left you because you can't fly like others your age!' I almost broke my cool right then and there, but then those stallions had busted in and started shooting. In a way, they saved Diamond Tiara from getting her flank beat." I felt my blood run cold, but took a deep breath and released it.
"Looks like I need to have a chat with her." I said. I then saw Princess Celestia's carriage and pulled up behind it, parking the car.
"Need me to stay in?" Scootaloo asked.
"No," I said, "I want you to be with me. You need to tell Princess Celestia what you just told me." Scootaloo was unsure, but nodded. We then got out and approached Princess Celestia as she was with a contractor. She looked at us and smiled.
"I hear you've had an eventful day." She said.
"Among OTHER things." I said. Princess Celestia then looked over to where the HQ was going to be and nodded.
"This is the perfect place! You definitely had the right idea when choosing it." She said. I gave a look to Scootaloo and she soon got resolve.
"Princess Celestia," she said, "there's something I need to tell you."
[At Diamond Tiara's home….]
After Scootaloo told Princess Celestia what had occurred before the stallions came in, she immediately said that we were going to Diamond Tiara's house. I went up to the door and pounded on it. The door soon opened and I saw a stallion standing there.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"Is Diamond Tiara here?" I asked.
"Who might you be?" The stallion asked.
"Commissioner Steve Reagan," I introduced, "Equestria Police Bureau. I'm also Scootaloo's guardian. Princess Celestia needs to have a word with her." After I said that, he looked as if he just shit himself.
"Diamond Tiara!" He said. I then saw a filly come from downstairs and she gasped when she saw me.
"That's him, Daddy! That's the one from today!" She said.
"He's a police officer, Diamond Tiara. Now then," the stallion said, "I'm her father. My name is Filthy Rich. Is there a problem?"
"Sir," Princess Celestia said, almost fuming, "are you aware your daughter has been bullying her classmates that don't have any cutie marks?" Diamond Tiara paled and tried to run upstairs, but I drew my Taser and aimed it at her.
"Move one more step and I'll fire." I said. Diamond Tiara froze in her tracks before looking at me.
"Please put that away! You're scaring her!" Filthy Rich said.
"Stay out of this and listen to the Princess!" I ordered. This sent a shiver down his spine and he immediately nodded.
"Thank you, Commissioner." Princess Celestia said. Diamond Tiara started shaking at her knees.
"D-daddy?" She asked.
"Not only has she been bullying her classmates that have no cutie mark," Princess Celestia said, "she's also been bullying those who have developmental issues. Case in point, her classmate Scootaloo." Filthy Rich then gasped and looked at Diamond Tiara in shock.
"Is this true?!" He asked.
"I…. I might tease her from time to time," Diamond Tiara said, "but I've never BULLIED her!"
"What about the comment you made her not having a mother anymore?" I asked. Diamond Tiara paled further and Filthy Rich looked at me.
"Did she tease Scootaloo about that?" He asked.
"More like spoke ill of the dead." I said. That was when Diamond Tiara went as pale as a ghost.
"D-d-d-d-d-dead?" She asked.
"Perhaps you remember that house fire and explosion from yesterday?" I asked.
"Th-the whole town talked about it." Diamond Tiara said.
"That was Scootaloo's home," I said, glaring, "and the four that died were her parents and aunts." Diamond Tiara then gasped and fell backwards, losing feeling in her legs. She caught herself against the railing before standing back up.
"I'm afraid your daughter's cute-ceañera will have to wait, Mr. Rich." Princess Celestia said. She nodded to me and I approached Diamond Tiara.
"Turn around," I said, "hands behind your back."
"W-what?!" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Just follow his commands, sweetie! Don't try and resist!" Filthy Rich said.
"NOW!" I yelled. Diamond Tiara shakily complied as I got to her. I holstered my Taser, putting a hand on hers, and grabbed a pair of cuffs. I then cuffed Diamond Tiara, securing them with my key, and led her down by her arm.
"W-wh-what are you going to do with me?" Diamond Tiara asked. Princess Celestia looked at Diamond Tiara sternly.
"As part of an anti-crime initiative," Princess Celestia said, "I'm instituting a 'Scared Straight' program in Canterlot. That is what YOU will be going through. From what I hear, you won't be having school until after everything has been processed. That means you will be going through the ENTIRE program."
"With your permission," I said, "I would like to be the one to transport her." Princess Celestia caught on quick and nodded.
"I approve. I saw your car had a map-like device. What is it?" She asked.
"It's called a GPS," I said, "short for global positioning system." Princess Celestia then smiled and used her magic on the GPS in my car.
"I've uploaded the map of Equestria into your car," she said, "and I included all the territories within. You'll be able to drive to Canterlot from here. Now, what keeps causing a barrier every time we try and forge a telepathic link with you?" I then held up my phone and tossed it to her. She caught it and looked it over.
"It's called a cell phone." I said.
"How does it work?" She asked. She tossed it back to me and I caught it before unlocking the screen.
[One long, tedious explanation later….]
Princess Celestia smiled and gave a nod.
"I shall have more made at once. It's pretty useful." She said.
"What time do I need to leave here to drop her off for the program?" I asked.
"You'll have to leave tonight, I'm afraid." Princess Celestia said. I looked at Filthy Rich and he caught on.
"We'll look after Scootaloo for you until you get back, Commissioner." He said. Scootaloo then walked up to me and two guards took Diamond Tiara. I knelt down to her, putting my hands on her shoulders.
"You'll be staying with Mr and Mrs. Rich until I get back, okay? I want you to behave for them." I said. Scootaloo sniffled and hugged me. I returned the hug, gently rubbing her back. Princess Celestia then gave a soft smile.
"Go ahead and tell him, Scootaloo." She said.
'Tell me what?' I thought. Scootaloo sniffled before taking a breath.
"I love you, Dad." Scootaloo said. Those words stunned me, but that's when I knew it was right. I made the choice to take her in. That means I became her father. I gave a soft smile and closed my eyes.
"Love you, too, kiddo." I said. I then broke the hug and took Diamond Tiara from the guards.
"D-daddy? Y-you're not gonna let them do this, are you?" She asked. Filthy Rich approached Diamond Tiara as tears formed in his eyes.
"I have no choice. I can't turn a blind eye to this, Diamond Tiara." He said.
"B-but, Daddy!" Diamond Tiara said.
"I hate to do it," Filthy Rich said, "but I give consent for you to undergo this program." I heard a gasp and looked to see a mare.
"Filthy," she said, "what is going on here?! Who is this stallion, and why is our daughter in restraints?!"
"I'll explain everything later, dear. Diamond has to go to Canterlot for a bit." Filthy said.
"W-what about?" The mare asked. Filthy then hugged Diamond Tiara before kissing her on the forehead.
"Follow their commands." He said. Diamond Tiara then started tearing up, realizing what she got herself into. I then led her out of the house and opened up the back of my car, helping her inside.
"Watch your head." I warned. She ducked her head a bit and sat down in the seat. I then buckled her up and closed the door. The mare from inside then ran out and I stopped her.
"Let me see her." She said.
"I can't let you do it." I said.
"Let me see my daughter!" She screamed.
"HEY! I get what you're trying to do," I said, being firm, "but she needs to learn that her actions have consequences! Your husband told you what she was doing, right? Right?!"
"Y-yes, h-he did." The mare said.
"Do you really think that your daughter is just going to stop with you grounding her and spanking her?" I asked.
"She's only a child!" The mare said.
"Children aren't exempt from the law! Your daughter needs to learn that. I'll be bringing her back after the program is completed. Depending on how she does during the program," I said, "there's a chance I might be giving you a visitation schedule. If she messes up during this program, she could be put into the system. You'd best hope she behaves herself." Filthy then came outside and grabbed the mare, taking her in. I then got in the car, turning the ELS on, and drove off. The whole drive, Diamond Tiara was looking down. I then heard sobbing from her and looked to see she was crying.
'She needs to learn.' I thought. I stayed focused on driving, following the GPS to Canterlot. I then heard Diamond Tiara sniffle and looked at her from the mirror.
"C-Commissioner Reagan," she said, "I have to go to the bathroom." I then pulled over and parked. I got out, going to the side she was on, and helped her out of the car.
"You know you have to stay cuffed, right?" I asked.
"D-does that mean y-you'll h-have to h-help me?" She asked, sobbing a bit.
"I promise I won't look." I said. She nodded and I took her to a grassy area, stopping when we were behind a tree. I then lowered her bottoms and underwear, not looking at what was underneath, and she squatted down. I looked away as she did her business, but she grabbed my pants. I looked at her face.
"H-how am I supposed to wipe?" She asked.
"I'll have to wipe for you. I won't look." I said. Diamond Tiara then finished her business and stood up. I pulled out some tissues I kept in my vest and used two of them to wipe Diamond Tiara's privates. I managed to do so without looking, and I could tell she was stunned at it. I then pulled up her underwear and bottoms before leading her back to the car. I helped her back inside, buckling her in, and threw the tissues in the trash. I then got back in the car and continued driving. Diamond Tiara then looked at me, sniffling.
"T-thank you for helping me," she said, "a-and for n-n-not looking."
"You're welcome." I said. The rest of the drive was quiet. That is, until Diamond Tiara gave a soft moan.
'What the?' I thought. I looked in the mirror and saw she was rubbing her legs together.
"Is everything okay back there?" I asked. Diamond Tiara looked at me from the mirror, scared.
"I…. I think something crawled inside me!" She said. I immediately pulled over and got out rushing to the side she was on and opening the door. I heard her moan again and move her legs faster.
"Try and keep your legs still!" I said.
"I have been! They won't stop!" She said. I then saw something bulge out before going back down.
"Listen," I said, "I'm gonna have to look down there to see if anything crawled inside. Okay?"
"C-can't you get ahold of Princess Celestia?!" She asked.
"If I could," I said, "I would have by now." Diamond Tiara then gave a groan and clenched her eyes shut.
"Okay, okay, okay! Just make it stop!" She exclaimed. I quickly pulled her bottoms and underwear down and took one leg out from them to allow her to open her legs. She quickly gasped and did just that, causing me get a full view of her privates.
'Keep those perverted thoughts out of your head. She's only a filly. She's a minor!' I thought. I then saw what looked like a tail poke out and quickly grabbed it, causing Diamond Tiara to gasp in shock.
"Whatever crawled in there," I said, "I managed to grab it."
"Pull it out! Pull it out!" She exclaimed. I then pulled on the tail and a baby snake came out. I threw the snake out, but it started to slither back. I pulled out my flashlight and shined it on the snake, as it had gotten dark out. I immediately recognized it as a copperhead and drew my pistol.
'Never thought I would see one of them here.' I thought.
"W-what is it?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"A Copperhead Snake." I said.
"WHAT?!" She asked.
"You didn't feel it bite you, did you?" I asked.
"N-no! I only felt it move around inside of me!" She said.
"Good," I said, "because those snakes are poisonous." I saw the snake coil up and glared.
"What's going on?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Look away!" I ordered. Diamond Tiara listened and the snake lunged to strike me, but I fired a shot and blew its head off. I heard the shell casing from the bullet hit the ground and sighed. I holstered my pistol and turned my flashlight off. I then looked at Diamond Tiara and she was panting. I pulled out more tissues and started wiping her privates, but she closed her legs on my hand and gasped.
'What in the?!' I thought.
"I don't know why," Diamond Tiara said, "but… t-that feels good."
"What?" I asked. She then started grinding on my hand, the tissues being the only layer between her privates and my hand.
"I don't know why I'm doing this! M-my hips are acting on their own!" Diamond Tiara said.
'No perverted thoughts. She's a minor! No matter what universe you're in sexual acts with a minor is FROUND UPON!!!!' I thought.
"You need to stop! I don't want to be accused of something!" I urged.
"You won't be! The gates to Canterlot are probably closed by now!" Diamond exclaimed.
"At least let me put more tissues in my hand!" I said. Diamond then released my hand, allowing me to throw out the tissues I had used earlier. I then put more tissues in my hand, but made sure there were enough to soak up what was going to come next. Diamond Tiara was panting, but looked at me.
"I promise I won't say anything. Your body cam isn't recording right now." She said.
"I could get in trouble if anyone hears." I said.
"It's not fair if I'm the only one who feels good." She said.
"You're still a minor." I said. That's when she seemed to realize it.
"It's not that you don't want to," she said, "it's that you can't."
"Now you understand." I said.
"Then…. I'll just do what I had done earlier. It really did feel good." She spoke. I wiped her privates again and she gasped before closing my hand in her legs again and grinding. I kept my mind clear of all perverted thoughts, even as she gave sultry moans.
'That damn snake probably caused her libido to be unleashed.' I thought.
"I feel really good for some reason. Ah! I…. I…. I think… s-s-s-something's coming out of me!" She exclaimed. She squeezed my hand closer to her privates and clenched her eyes, letting out a loud moan. I watched as the fluids from her privates got soaked up by the tissue. She then relaxed her legs and panted, opening her legs again. I discarded the tissues in my hand before getting more and wiping her privates of any remaining fluids before throwing those out. I then helped her put her underwear and bottoms on before sighing.
'Thank fuck that's over.' I thought. I then closed the door to her side before getting back in and driving to Canterlot.
[At Canterlot Castle….]
After driving all night, I pulled up to the castle and parked. I then got out, going to Diamond Tiara's side, and opened the door. Three guards then approached and I looked at them.
"Is she the one from Ponyville undergoing the 'Scared Straight' program?" One asked.
"She is" I said.
"We'll take her from here." Another said. They then got Diamond Tiara out of the car and took her in. Another guard then approached and looked serious.
"Princess Celestia has asked that you be given a room to sleep in for a bit. Follow me." They said. I nodded and followed them in. It didn't take for long for us to get to the room I'd be sleeping in. I opened the door and the guard nodded. I walked in and got on the bed, lying down to fall asleep. However, before I could, a knock was at my door.
"Enter." I said, groaning. The door opened and I looked to see a guard in a different kind of armor.
"You must be Commissioner Reagan." They spoke. I sighed and sat up, facing them.
"What do I have to do?" I asked. The guard was stunned and started waving his hands.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm not here for work! My name is Shining Armor," the guard said, "I'm a Captain of the Royal Guard. You're staying with my sister, Twilight."
"Twilight's your sister?" I asked.
"Yeah." Shining said.
"What does that have to do with me?" I asked.
"I heard that you saved her from being attacked by Nightmare Moon. I never thought she would be put in such danger. Thank you for saving my sister." Shining said.
"I just did what I was trained to do. Can I try and get some sleep now? I've been driving all night." I said.
"I'm aware. I also know about how you helped Diamond Tiara." He said.
"I plead the fifth." I said.
"Relax! She told us that you wanted nothing to do with it," Shining said, "and that all you did was hold some tissues against her as she gave herself pleasure. She also mentioned it happened after a Copperhead Snake had slithered inside of her. Just to be safe, we gave her some anti-venom. She pleaded for us NOT to charge you. I agree with her, and so does Princess Celestia. You have others looking out for you, you know. My sister and her friends are just a part of it."
"Is there a point?" I asked, sleep depravity becoming evident.
"I need your help trying to please my girlfriend. It's important!" Shining begged. I sighed and stood up.
"Take me to her." I said. Shining then motioned for me to follow him and I did so. I then heard something clatter and went on alert.
'Someone else is in there!' I thought. Shining gasped and went to charge in, but I stopped him and forced him behind me, drawing my pistol. I then peeked around the corner and saw a mare being surrounded by bug-like creatures.
"I should have brought a flashbang." I whispered. Shining then put a hand on my shoulder, causing me to look at him.
"Would this help?" He asked, holding out a flashbang.
"Where did you get a flashbang?" I asked.
"I picked it up after it fell out of your car. Some of my men were going through it. I already punished them." Shining said. I then readied the flashbang and saw my chance. I threw it in and hid behind the wall.
"What the?!" A voice asked. The flashbang then went off and I charged in.
"POLICE! ON THE GROUND!" I yelled. The creatures were all confused, but complied. I then restrained all of them and looked at the mare. She nodded, indicating she was okay. Guards then rushed in and took the creatures out. The mare then ran to me and hugged me tight.
"Thank you! I was so scared!" She said. I gently returned the gesture, hoping it would calm her down. It did. Shining then ran in and the mare looked at him before going to him and hugging him tightly. He returned the hug and rubbed her back.
"It's okay now, Cady. It's okay." He said. That's when I noticed that the mare had wings AND a horn like Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Nightmare Moon.
"Your girlfriend is a Princess?!" I asked. She looked at me and Shining smiled.
"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, to be specific. Though," Shining said, "she prefers Cadence. I like calling her Cady."
'That name translates to 'my love cadence' in French.' I thought.
"Cady," Shining said, "this is Commissioner Steve Reagan." Princess Cadence then gasped.
"I almost forgot! I was supposed to greet you when you got here! Please forgive me!" She said.
"Relax. I'm used to it," I spoke, "and I haven't had any sleep. I was trying to when your boyfriend asked me for help in pleasing you. I'm too tired to think in what way he meant that." Princess Cadence was stunned, but looked at Shining.
"Why do you think you're not pleasing me?" She asked.
"Because… you're still tense after we... you know." Shining said, trying to be vague. I sighed and started to walk out, but Princess Cadence stopped me.
"I don't think so, Commissioner. He asked for your help," she spoke, "and you're going to give it. There's one thing he does well, and that's pounding me hard. I think what he wants help on is giving me oral."
"Can't help you." I said. The two were stunned.
"What?" Shining asked.
"I can't help with that. I'm still a virgin. Never had it, probably never will have it." I said. I then left the room and went back to where I'd be sleeping. I closed the door, locking it this time, and plopped onto the bed. It didn't take me long to fall asleep.
[Hours later….]
I was still sleeping when I heard a knock at the door. I groaned, waking up, and unlocked the door. I opened it to see Princess Celestia.
"Good to know you finally got some sleep." She said.
"Sleep you woke me up from." I said, still groggy. Princess Celestia gave a soft giggle before holding out a cup.
"Maybe this will help?" She asked. The smell then hit me and my eyes widened.
"Coffee. A cop's second partner." I said. I took it and sipped it, sighing.
"Even I need a pick-me-up in the morning, you know." Princess Celestia said.
"I know this can't be the only reason you're here." I said.
"I heard about what you did with Diamond Tiara." Princess Celestia said.
"I plead the fifth." I said. Princess Celestia giggled.
"Oh, relax. She said you never actively participated. In fact," Princess Celestia said, "she apologized for having to put you in that position. It was truly heartfelt. She even apologized for all the times she bullied the other students., Scootaloo included. Having her go through the 'Scared Straight' program actually helped her change."
"That's good. She needed a wake-up call." I said.
"She even said that she doesn't like riding in the back of your car." Princess Celestia said.
"This time she won't have to." I said. Princess Celestia smiled and nodded.
"She's waiting for you at the Canterlot Detention Center." She said. I nodded, finished the cup of coffee in my hand, and walked out. When I got to my car, I saw Shining and Princess Cadence standing at it.
"We fixed a few dents that my men caused." Shining said.
"Everything is where it should be." Princess Cadence said.
"I'll tell Twilight you said hello, Captain." I spoke.
"You know Twilight?" Princess Cadence asked. This got my attention.
"YOU know Twilight?!" I countered.
"Of course! I was her foal-sitter! It's how Shining and I met." Princess Cadence said.
"That… actually makes sense. I'll give Twilight your regards." I said. I then got in and drove to the Canterlot Detention Center. The moment I pulled up, the guards immediately knew.
"TEN HUT! Commissioner on deck!" One said. I got out, walking to them, and two approached me with Diamond Tiara. The two saluted and I returned. We lowered our salutes and they both gave nods.
"She's all yours, Commissioner." The first spoke. I nodded and took Diamond Tiara into custody.
"Is there anything I should know about her that might concern her parents?" I asked.
"A male inmate had forced himself on her after one of the doors had malfunctioned and locked her in with him. The appropriate action was taken. He never beat on her. All he did was tear her bottoms and underwear off before-." The second one spoke.
"I get the point!" I said, not wanting to hear anymore.
"We already informed her parents." The first one said. Diamond Tiara then hugged me tightly, causing me to look at her. I saw tears in her eyes and knelt down, pulling her into a hug. She hugged back and started softly crying. I gently rubbed her back to help her calm down.
"It was awful! He just took my virginity and laughed about it! He 'finished' inside of me!" Diamond Tiara cried.
"It's okay. You're okay now. They took the necessary precautions." I said.
"What if they don't work?! I'm too young to be a mother!" Diamond Tiara exclaimed.
"It'll be okay, Diamond Tiara. It'll be okay." I said. I then saw a stallion run towards us and I quickly stood up, moving Diamond Tiara behind me and glaring. The stallion grinned and charged at me, but I quickly grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the ground, a loud boom resonating at the impact. I recognized the stallion as one from the, now disbanded, investigative team that raped Rarity and shot up the school in Ponyville.
"She deserved to be taught a lesson like that. All mares and fillies do! They're nothing more than breeding factories!" He said.
"SHUT UP!!!!" I yelled, an strange aura appearing around me. The stallion gasped in fear.
"Mommy!" He squeaked.
"I have half a mind to rip your dick off and force it down your THROAT for what you did to her! SHE'S ONLY A FUCKING CHILD!!!!" I yelled. I felt my hand grip his throat tighter and the aura grew around me. He started choking loudly, trying to force my hand off his throat. The guards were frozen in pure fear.
"Commissioner, stop!" Diamond Tiara spoke. She put a hand on my shoulder and I looked at her.
'Huh?' I thought.
"This is what he wants! He wants you to lash out and kill him! He's trying to commit suicide-by-cop!" She said. The stallion looked at Diamond Tiara in pure shock.
"Stay… out… of… this!" He said.
"He doesn't want any of his victims coming forward and testifying against him! He WANTS to die!" Diamond Tiara said. I then looked at him and gave a glare.
"Then I won't give him the satisfaction." I said. I then got him off the ground and forced him to a squad of guards that immediately caught him. The aura then left and two guards looked at me.
"We never saw anything." One said.
"Saw what?" I asked. They then took the stallion back in and I took Diamond Tiara to my car. She went to the back door, but I stopped her.
"Huh?" She asked. I then opened the passenger side door and Diamond Tiara was stunned.
"You've been through enough trauma." I said. She got in and I buckled her up. I then closed the door and got in on the driver's side. She was amazed, and blushed in awe.
"Is this what Heaven is like?" She asked. I gave a soft chuckle and drove off.
[At Diamond Tiara's house….]
After a long drive, and a good talk with Diamond Tiara, I pulled up to Diamond Tiara's house. I immediately saw her parents and Scootaloo go out the door. I then got out and went to the passenger side door, opening it as Diamond Tiara unbuckled. I helped her out and walked with her towards her house. Filthy then saw her and Scootaloo saw me.
"Diamond Tiara?" Filthy asked. Diamond Tiara then teared up and ran to her parents.
"Mommy! Daddy!" She said. Her parents then ran to her and the three hugged. I knelt down as Scootaloo ran to me.
"Dad!" Scootaloo said.
"There's my girl!" I said. She then hugged me tightly and I returned it.
"I missed you so much!" Scootaloo said.
"Me, too, kiddo. Did you behave?" I asked.
"I learned so much from the Rich's! I even learned how Mr. Rich got his start!" Scootaloo said, breaking the hug.
"That's great! You'll have to tell me sometime!" I said. I then saw Diamond Tiara approach us and Scootaloo got quiet.
"You're really lucky to have been taken in by him. I know that what I said can never be taken back," Diamond Tiara spoke, "but…. I hope that you can forgive me someday. I'm sorry for what I said about your mom, Scootaloo. I was a real jerk." Scootaloo was stunned.
"I-it's okay. I'm… still trying to adjust." Scootaloo said.
"My parents told you what happened when I was going through the 'Scared Straight' program, right?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"No. They never told me. They said it wasn't my place to know." Scootaloo said. Diamond Tiara looked at her parents for a bit before looking back at Scootaloo.
"I'm making it your place to know." She said.
"Huh?" Scootaloo asked.
"Diamond Tiara," I said, "are you sure about this?" Diamond Tiara looked at me and nodded before taking a breath.
"Scootaloo," she spoke, "before I say what happened, I just want to stress something. You never, EVER want to be in jail. It's cold, scary, and filled with dangerous ponies. I saw firsthand what the inmates do, where the inmates go, what the inmates eat. It's disgusting! I almost got sick just being in there! I definitely don't want to be there as an inmate! Especially since… since…." Scootaloo then caught on when she saw tears start rolling down Diamond Tiara's face.
"Were you raped, Diamond Tiara?" She asked. Diamond Tiara then hugged Scootaloo and started crying.
"It was awful!" She wailed. Scootaloo then gently returned the hug and Diamond Tiara cried more.
"There, there." Scootaloo said, gently rubbing her back. Diamond Tiara then sniffled and looked at me.
"Will I have to tell Silver Spoon?" She asked.
"It's your choice." I said. Diamond Tiara then broke the hug and looked at Scootaloo, sniffling.
"C-can you be there with me?" She asked.
"As long as she doesn't pick on me for being a 'blank flank' like you do." Scootaloo said.
"That stops now. I'm not gonna pick on you for that ever again." Diamond Tiara said. I then saw a filly approach and run to Diamond Tiara.
"DT!" She exclaimed. The filly then tackled Diamond Tiara down and hugged her.
"Silver Spoon?!" Diamond Tiara asked.
"I was so worried that you would be in Canterlot forever! How was your visit?" Silver Spoon asked.
"It wasn't a visit, Silver Spoon." Diamond Tiara said.
"Huh?" Silver Spoon asked.
"I didn't go there for a visit. I…. I was sent there for the 'Scared Straight' program." Diamond Tiara said.
"It's just a jail tour, right?" Silver Spoon asked.
"It's more than that! I saw everything! How inmates lived, what they ate, how they used the bathroom! It was horrible!" Diamond Tiara said.
"Y-you're joking, right?" Silver Spoon asked.
"I'm not. I…. I hated being there! It was cold, scary, and filled with dangerous ponies! I wouldn't be there as an inmate even if they PAID me to!" Diamond Tiara emphasized. Silver Spoon gasped and looked at me.
"Why didn't you stop them?!" She asked.
"Because I needed to be taught a lesson. I learned it. Being a bully will turn you into a criminal." Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon then looked at Scootaloo and looked back at Diamond Tiara.
"Did she stay with your parents?" She asked.
"She did. They offered to watch her while I went through the program." Diamond Tiara said.
"Watch her for who?!" Silver Spoon asked.
"For me." I said. Silver Spoon looked at me in shock.
"W-what?" She asked.
"Scootaloo lost her entire home and family because of an arsonist, Silver Spoon. She lost everything!" Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon then remembered the day before and looked at Scootaloo.
"That was why you went through it. Because of what you said to her!" She spoke.
"That's not the point!" Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon looked at Diamond Tiara.
"It's because that blank flank snitched!" She said.
"Don't call her that!" Diamond Tiara exclaimed, shooting up. Silver Spoon was taken aback.
"W-what?" She asked.
"No more, Silver Spoon. That's what got me in trouble in the first place. Plus," Diamond Tiara said, "I told her something else that happened during the program. Something awful that happened to ME. It traumatized me!" Silver Spoon saw tears form in Diamond Tiara's eyes and gasped.
"D-did you get slapped?" She asked. Diamond Tiara then shed tears and sniffled.
"I was raped by an inmate, Silver Spoon! I was helpless! I screamed for help," Diamond Tiara said, "but they couldn't reach me! It hurt! The inmate didn't stop! He LAUGHED the entire time! He… he… HE FINISHED INSIDE OF ME!!!!" Silver Spoon gasped and I saw her lower lip quiver.
"W-what?" She asked.
"They took the necessary precautions," Diamond Tiara said, "but I'm scared. What if it's not enough?! What if he got me pregnant?!" Silver Spoon then pulled Diamond Tiara into a hug and held her tight.
"Don't think like that, DT. Everything will be perfectly fine." Silver Spoon said. Diamond Tiara returned the embrace before breaking it.
"We need to help everyone from now on. I don't want YOU experiencing what I went through during that jail tour." Diamond Tiara said.
"How can we?" Silver Spoon asked.
"We'll start by helping Scootaloo fly." Diamond Tiara said.
"I'll have to supervise that." I said.
"Yeah." Scootaloo said.
"We understand." Silver Spoon said. I then heard someone run up to us and looked to see Spike.
"Scroll… Princess… Gala…." Spike panted. He then collapsed and the scroll rolled out of his hand. I picked it up and looked at it.
"To Commissioner Steve Reagan, Equestria Police Bureau, you are cordially invited to the Grand Galloping Gala. Included is your ticket, and a voucher for a hotel suite for the weekend of. Should any questions arise, contact Princess Celestia. From, CSA and PMAC." I read.
"Huh?" The three fillies asked. I soon caught on and grinned.
"Two acquaintances that I encountered while Diamond Tiara was going through the program." I said.
"I figured you would have gotten some sleep." Diamond Tiara said.
"Believe me, I tried. Only managed to sleep for a few hours." I said.
"We should get Spike home." Scootaloo said.
"Come visit tomorrow. We can get you caught up on the work you missed." Diamond Tiara said.
"I'd like that. Thank you." Scootaloo said. I then smiled and picked Spike up. Scootaloo took him from me and we got in my car to head home.
'I think I just might enjoy living here.' I thought. I then drove home and gave a soft smile as I heard soft snoring from Scootaloo.
