>>36960544

>you sit awake in bed, the only thing on your mind is being nose deep in the chest tuft of Celestia
>looking out the window, all you see is the moon glistening
>shaking your head knowing that's not where your eyes belong
>another peek at your watch
>5:50
>it's almost time
>better get a head start, early bird catches the goddess after all
>you pull out your flip phone and call the number already up on the screen
>the groan of a very sleepy rainbow horse accepts the call
>"Ugh, anon. Just two more hours dude."
"Get the fuck up. You owe me."
>your knees are still sore from wandering around on all fours disguised as her to distract Derpy for a few hours
>at least all she wanted to do mostly was hide-and-go-seek
>though it's hardly fair when all you have to do is cover your eyes
>"It's 5 AM Anon!"
"And there's no time like the present. Get over here now or your ass is grass, Dash."
>you clap the phone closed so hard any eyewitness would think it was your last phone call ever
>close your eyes and inhale
>today's a good day
>getting in a good morning stretch, you soon hear Dash approaching, hooves coming to rest right outside your home
>letting out a fierce yawn, she raises her hoof to knock, only to notice you staring right at her from the adjacent window
>"Uh... good morning to you too, weirdo."
>your response could only be described as a rapeface
>no time to waste
>you pull open the door and slam it shut
>all you bring is your cell phone and a brimmingly full gallon of pride
"Take me to the Castle."
>her brow raises
>"Whi-"
"The one that matters."
>she deadpans as you take mount on her back, her wings starting to flap lazily

>wind bombards your face while the speedy pegasus makes it clear she's ready to get this over with
>you can already hear the telltale sound of roosters and birds chirping
>your stomach grumbles for breakfast
>but right now there's only one thing that could possible sate your appetite
>and you're about to engorge
>"Okay anon, we're here."
>she begins to descend in front of the castle, the sound of her voice filled with relief thinking she's finished
>nah
"Take me higher."
>her eyes dart back at you worriedly, as the thought bubble of her warm cozy bed bursts hopelessly
>"Excuse me?"
"Take. Me. Higher!"
>without a moment's hesitation you pull on her hair, as a pilot asserting control, and her flight immediately swings upwards
>"Woah! What the heck are you doing?"
>her confusion is met with silence as you ride her higher and higher over the castle
>"Uh Hello? Anypony home?" she cries out as you approach the clouds
"Yes... Hello."
>you respond, into your cell phone
>"Who is this? How did you get this number?" A member of the royal guard inquires
"I just wanted to inform you, there's going to be an unscheduled eclipse this morning."
>"I... What?"
>dread bleeds from his voice
>click


>the princess is already peeking over the balcony
>her blessed body radiating so much you think to yourself that the sun has already risen
>even from this distance the sight of her is making you sweat
>forgot to bring a towel
>just use Dash's mane instead
"Beautiful..."
>you drift off, interrupted by a not-so-blessed body
>"Anonymous! What the heck are we gonna do up here?"
"That's a good question Dash. This is high enough."
>you relax control, letting her pause and hover in the air
"And we're... gonna... Chaaaarge!"
>you throw the controls forward and put her into a steep nosedive
>"Wahhh!"
>you feel like such a badass careening into the castle
>the wind howling past your ears competing with Rainbow's confused screaming
>two black dots catch your attention above the castle, growing larger with each passing second
"Right on schedule."
>her screams stop in their tracks
>"Uh anon? That looks like the royal guard dude."
>she sweats at the sight, at least now you can say it was hers
>the guards appear to be two of the biggest, built to handle anything thrown at them
>viciousness is practically tattooed on their faces beneath their helmets
>flying side by side directly at you two like hawks on the attack
>more dismayed than ever, Dash decides to speak up
>"Whatever you had planned the jig is up man!"
"For you."
>you leap off her back as the guards tackle her


>one of them notices you and makes a sharp u-turn
>you are just under a hundred meters from Celestia now, her horn already glowing as the sun peeks over the horizon
>her eyes are closed in placid focus
>or at least they were
"YOUR MAJESTY!"
>"YOUR MAJESTY!"
>you and the guard shout in unison
>he is gaining on you
>in a last ditch effort to make him fuck off, you throw your phone
>then your shoe
>then your other shoe
>then finally your blazer to blind him
>a warm yellow aura surrounds you both and your descent slows to a halt
>he removes the jacket from his face, seething hard
>"Anything left to throw, pansy?"
"There is one thing..."
>you reach into your pocket and toss a middle finger at him
>he flinches before growling and ripping your blazer in half
>"What's this all about?" Celestia's voice sings into your ears
"Good morning your highness."
>her eyes go from darting between you both to resting on you
>"Good morning, mister..."
"Anonymous. And it wouldn't be good without you."
>oh god there it is
>her smile
>a third sunrise
>"How flattering. That still doesn't quite explain the stir you caused. Do you like the dungeon, Mr. Anonymous?"
"No your highness, but I do like hugs."
>she tsks, tilting her head slightly
>"Shame. There are no hugs in the dungeon."
>you gulp, thinking over what you've just done
>but you can't help it, you're crazy for the sun goddess
>your palms meet your face in contemplation
>she interrupts your thought
>"But there are plenty up here."
