AiE The Canterlot Chapter Ch.6

1
>3 Months have gone by since the little incident in the barn
>You and your...family, are on their way to SugarCube Corner for Chloe's suprise birthday party
>Clo:"Anon, where are we going?"
"Just hold on! Jeez, your one impatient filly..."
>You two arrive at SugarCube Corner, and walk in
>Its dark, and in a flash of bright light practically the whole town is there
>"Suprise!!"
>Clo:"Oh my gosh! A birthday party for me?"
>The look in her eyes were enough to tell you did well in planning all of this
>She runs off and talks to her freinds as the party gets started, leaving you to find Cherilee and your freinds
"Hey, Rarity, have you seen Cherilee?"
>R:"Hm? Oh yes darling, she is over there"
>She points to the punch bowl
"Thanks, and hey cheer up, i know you havent seen Lucky in a while but im sure he is thinking about you all the time"
>She gets a little smile

2
>R:"Well who wouldnt? It IS me afterall, the most gorgeous p0ny in Equestria!"
>Yup that cheered her up, now to find Cherilee
>C:"And there he is! The most wonderful p0ny in the world!"
>You have more than gotten used to everyp0ny calling you a p0ny as well, still, you didnt see the logic in it
"What were you talking about with...sorry i didnt catch your name?"
>BP:"Oh, im Berry Punch, pleasure to meet you Anon"
"Ya, you too, anyway, Cherilee might i have a word?"
>C:"Of course"
>You two walk over away from the punch bowl and into the kitchen
"Pinkie said she would have the cake ready in an hour, but i dont know if Chloe will be able to last that long, how are we going to entertain them all?"
>C:"Oh dont worry im sure you will think of something!"
>Leave it to Cherilee to shove the parent work on you, even though the party was your idea
"Ok, i will get on it then...in the meantime i guess just make sure Chloe is having a good time"
>C:"Well this is her party, i would sure hope she was! All her freinds are here"
"True, ok well, just keep an eye on things until i figure something out"

3
>You walk around the party, everyone is having a good time, but you still dont know what you are going to do if Chloe gets bored
>You spent more time thinking about it than you thought as you see Pinkie walk in with the cake, dodged a bullet there
>After a hasty chorus of happy birthday and eating of cake most of the p0nies leave
>Cherilee took Chloe home while you cleaned up, like usual
>Oh well, you did not mind much, you did plan the party
>Eventually it is just you and Pinkie cleaning up
>PP:"So Anon, you still owe me a party since i saved you in the barn a while back"
>Damn, you had completely forgot, and if you had remembered sooner, you wouldnt have put your self in this situation
"Heh, ya i guess i do, when is the party going to be?"
>PP:"Well since its a special party its only going to be you and me silly filly!"
>Well, you cant say you didnt see this coming, oh well might as well get it over with
>PP:"So thats a yes? Amazing! Lets go upstairs!"
>She grabs you by the hand and pulls you upstairs
>Mulling it over quickly in your mind, you would rather it be Pinkie than any of the others that were in the barn that day
>She leads you up to her room, the room where you actually spent your first nights in

4
>With all the time that has past you almost forgot about that you shared a bed with Pinkie
"Um Pinkie, can we just make this really quick? I know i owe you one, but Cherilee is probably expecting me home soon, and you know how she is..."
>PP:"Okie dokie loki!"
>She bounces on the bed and pats it, for you to join her
>Half an hour later you walk out of her bedroom buttoning up your shirt
>PP:"That was awesome Anon we should do that again sometime!"
>She bounces down the stairs giggling
"Um no we wont!"
>You call after her, but she doesnt respond
>You walk out of SugarCube Corner and almost run home'
>You walk in the door and sure enough Cherilee is waiting on the couch for you
>C:"Well that took longer than you said it would..."
>Shit come on...
"Ya i know, you dont have to tell me, but seriously how long has it been Cherilee? Dont you trust me?"
>The irony in this was palpable but she didnt know that

5
>C:"Of course i trust you.."
"Obviously you dont or you wouldnt hound me with questions everytime im a minute or two late"
>You werent going to give her any chance or opening to rebuttle
"Its been over 6 months and you still dont trust me, we LIVE together, and in MY house!"
>She is starting to look sad now, defeated, but your not going to stop
"And on top of that we are raising a little filly together! I even planned her party! Do you think i have time to cheat on you?!"
>Ok now she is on the verge of tears
>You stop, almost panting, and see Chloe in the corner of your eye peering into the room
>You grab your jacket and leave the house, slamming the door shut
>The night is cold, but you cant feel it, your numb from all this rage
>Your walking to Celestia knows where, but your going somewhere
>The pub? No Dash will be there...
>Not SugarCube Corner, Pinkie will get the wrong idea..
>Library? No Twilight wont understand even though she is like your sister
>Then you came across the last p0ny you would have talked to at a time like this, Rarity

6
>You walk up to Carousel Boutique and stop at the door
>She had her own problems right? She wouldnt want to here yours..
>But she is generosity right? Well might as well go in...
"Hey Rarity...?"
>She isnt in the foyer, maybe upstairs?
>You walk upstairs and she is there in her bed, crying...
"Um Rarity, whats wrong?"
>R:"Lucky is in Canterlot, and has been for over two months! What do you think is wrong?"
"Ya i see...well im sorry, is there anyway i can help you feel better?"
>R:"Not unless you can take me to Canterlot so i can see him..."
>Then it hits you, maybe its not that bad of an idea
"You know what, thats not a bad idea, we should go, tomorrow!"
>The look she gives you is one for the ages, one of suprise and happiness
>R:"Darling, your not serious are you? I was just complaining...and besides what about your family?"
>Family, kind of a loose term right now, and you DID need a break

7
"There have been some complications...so that wont worry me too much"
>R:"What do you mean, complications?"
>You sit there and tell her about what has happened and why you need to leave
>Soon you find yourself yawning, how late was it?
>No matter you werent going back home
>R:"Well if you want, you can stay here and we can leave early in the morning"
>She rolls over in bed and pats the spot next to her
>This wasnt going to end bad at all, you promised yourself that, you couldnt do that to Lucky, he was a bro
>You wake up the next morning, Rarity has her hooves draped around your chest, and your arm around her
>You try to slide out of bed as to not wake her but as you move she only nuzzles into your chest more
>Eventually you slide out and head outside, you find Derpy, on her usual rounds
>You pull out two letters you wrote the night before
"Hey can you take this letter to the farm and the other to my house?"
>DH:"Sure thing Anon!"
>With that she flies away, bumping into things as she goes

8
>You walk back in to find Rarity making breakfast
>R:"How do you like your eggs?"
>You two happily munched on breakfast, making small talk until it was time to leave
>You had enough bits to make due for a couple days, and the train tickets
>After lugging all 9001 bags to the station you and Rarity board into the back car
>R:"Its going to be a long ride"
"Ya thats fine though, if you get tired you can just rest on me, i dont mind"
>She rests her head on your shoulder
>R:"Thats good, you know you certainly are the gentlecolt, taking me to Canterlot and paying for everything"
>Does she not remember the whole reason she is going? To see her special somep0ny
>R:"You know, if i didnt know better about you and Lucky's friendship, i would say you were trying to court me"
>Oh Celestia, come on, you didnt need this right out of the gate, but she was fairly pretty, beautiful even
>R:"And to be honest, if Lucky and i dont work out, i would not object to it, you certainly are good looking"
>Is she seriously hitting on you?
>Must be deprived of compassion since Lucky has been gone

9
"Ya, your beautiful too Rarity, and really nice"
>She looks up at you, dem eyes, and smiles
>She turns away gives a little sigh and falls asleep
>The train ride is uneventful for the most part, you two almost reach Canterlot when she wakes up
>R:"Oh! We are almost there! Oh i simply cannot wait! The glamour! The sophistication!"
>You tune her out as she goes on a rant about all the things she loves about the city
>Eventually the train comes to a stop and you find yourself carrying all the bags to the train platform
>You are suprised to see Lucky standing there
"Dude, what are you doing here?"
>Luk:"Coming to see Rarity! And you too, Celestia sent me to invite you to the Castle to stay
>Aw shit nigga
"Awesome, lead the way"
>The three of you walk up to the Castle, when you notice Lucky's scars
>Since he got his fur turned white the scars turned black
>He actually looks pretty bad ass, but beneath the surface you know he is a nice p0ny

10
>You finally reach your room in the castle, your room is next to Rarity's
>You leave what little you had and are lead into the throne room by Lucky
>PC:"Well Anon, what makes you come all the way out here?"
"Um issues with my family..."
>PC:"Ah yes my sister has told me about...Cherilee was it? And Chloe"
"Ya well im kinda taking a break from them, maybe after a couple of days here i can go back level headed"
>PC:"Ah yes, well make yourself comfortable, you are welcome to stay as long as you want"
"Thank you, well i will be on my way"
>You give a little wave and smile to Luna, who had been sitting there
>As you walk away you can hear Celestia say to Luna
>PC:"You did not tell me he looked so good sister, i now know why you pursued him"
>The sound in her voice was weird, but disregard that you have a new city to enjoy
>Rarity leaves with Lucky, no doubt to have some alone time, and you dont blame her
>You wander about and find opera house
>The music inside was some of the best you ever heard so you buy a ticket and enter

11
>You take a seat and listen to the p0ny on stage play
>She has a dark mane with grey fur, and plays the cello better than you had ever heard
>You sit there like an idiot and stare in awe at the beauty of both her and the music
>Eventually the song is over, and she stands to take a bow, she notices you
>You finally notice you are staring and turn away feeling embarassed
>She smiles and walks off stage
>As you wait for the next performer a fancy looking stallion walks up to you, he doesnt seem happy to do so
>"Excuse me...sir, Miss Octavia would like to see you backstage"
>So thats her name, well shouldnt keep a lady waiting
>You follow the stallion backstage and there she is, brushing her mane as several p0nies congradulate her
>O:"Um excuse me everyone, i have a special guest here to see me, allow me to retire for now"
>She motions for you to follow her upstairs
>As you follow her you end up in a high private seating area
>O:"So your the famous Anonymous"
"Uh, ya how do you know who i am?"

12
>O:"Oh there have been many stories about you, your...exploits"
"Heh, what is that supposed to mean?"
>O:"Oh well..."
>She blushes and rubs her hoof on the ground, obviously embarassed about the subject
>But why should she be? You two were talking about you, not her
>O:"Well, those sexually, you did practically court Princess Luna in one night, though nothing came of it"
>Shit, word travels fast, and apparently there are no such thing as secrets
>O:"Also, your family, Trixie has told me in the short time that i have spent time with her"
"Well, that whole thing is on hold right now...me and Cherilee are taking a break"
>O:"Ah so that is why your here, glad to know you have a good taste in music as well"
>She gives you a wink and smile that make you wonder why you ever settled down
"Well, you and your music certainly are beautiful, i just couldnt resist"
>Brain: So this is your idea of some time alone you mother fucker? Hitting on every god looking p0ny you see?
>Shut up, this is a break, i have no restrictions right now
>Brain:But what would Cherilee say? After you slut around Canterlot for a few days then come back?

13
>I dont care im on break...but she would be very upset
>Brain: Hey man dont get all mopey and shit, lets just have fun, see these?
>That folder? Ya, why?
>Brain:These are all your fucks, and see whats happening to them now?
>They are on fire, so now i have no fucks?
>Brain:Exactly, deal with Cherilee later
>Might as well
"So anyway, Octavia, would you like to have dinner tonight?"
>O:"Oh most certainly, Rarity was right, you certainly are the gentlecolt"
>Damn gossiping p0nies...
>You head back to the castle to get ready for the date tonight
>As you walk by your room you can hear Rarity and Lucky in the other room
>Well cant say i didnt see that coming, just act non chalant and get going
>Night approaches and you start your leave the castle
>You run into Luna, no suprise

14
>PL:"Well greetings Anonymous, i hath heard that thou doth hath a date with the musical talent Octavia?"
"Oh ya, i listened to her performance earlier today, and we just hit it off..."
>Dear Celestia the awkardness is palpable
>Luna hangs her head, looking sad
>Oh man, she can read your thoughts, fuck now you feel like an ass
"I didnt mean like that, listen...tomorrow how about we have dinner, or breakfast whatever it is to you."
>She immediatly lightens up
>PL:"We would like that"
>With that she trots away
>Man you really are not going to give any fucks this week
>You reach the restaurant you and Octavia talked about, it is really fancy
>You probably cant afford it, so might as well not get anything to eat
>You walk up to the hostp0ny
>"Excuse me sir, do you have a reservation?"
"Ya, im here with Octavia, she is probably already inside"

15
>"Oh yes, she mentioned you...quite a bit, follow me"
>Why is everyp0ny here so stuck up and an ass?
>You make your way to the back and find a private booth with Octavia already there sipping on some wine
>O:"I thought you might have forgotten me"
"Nope, never"
>You flash her a smile, which she returns as you sit down
>The two of you enjoy a nice night, dinner, drinks, and conversation
>You start talking about your life at home, she seems really interested
>O:"I probably shouldnt do this, but i cannot resist.."
"What do you..."
>Your stopped by a kiss, suprising but not unwelcomed
>When she pulls away she is a bright shade of red
>She turns to see if anyone had seen, few had, and they were talking and pointing hooves
>Well you know Cherilee will hear of this soon
>O:"You...did not mind that did you?"

16
"No, that was fine, and even if it was not i dont blame you, you have been sitting here listening to how much Cherilee upset me"
>She smiles and sighs a breath of relief
>O:"You certainly do have a way with the mares, Anonymous"
"Ya, i get that a lot...its almost an inconvenience actually"
>The last part of the night ends with you walking her home, and her inviting you inside
>You pause for a second, but then rationalize if your going to get it when you get home, might as well get your bits worth
>After the best night you have had in a while you wake up the next morning, to Octavia curled up next to you, hooves on your chest
>She is already awake, looking at you, and wearing that same cute smile
>O:"Last night was the best I have had in a while Anonymous, shame you do not live here, or we could enjoy them more often"
>Good, she knows this was a one night stand, time to evac
"Ya, it certainly was amazing, well i got to get back to the castle, Rarity and Lucky will no doubt be looking for me"
>You take your leave and walk back to the castle
>You cant help but notice the p0nies whispering and pointing hooves at you, no doubt because of last night
>Several mares give you bedroom eyes but you shake them off as you finally reach the castle
>You reach your room to find a note on the bed

17
>'Dear Anonymous, when it is convenient for you, please join me in the courtyard -Princess Celestia
>Thats weird, wonder what she wants?
>You head back downstairs and into the courtyard
>Sure enough Celestia was waiting there for you
>PC:"Ah, Anonymous, glad you could join me"
"Certainly Princess, what would you like to talk about?"
>PC:"It is about my sister, she was crying since you left on the date with Octavia yesterday"
>Oh come on, had the dinner with her not been enough of a promise?
>PC:"No it was not, Anonymous, please do not play with her heart, you will find out even though you are charming, and good looking, i will have no problem punishing you"
"But surley she must know we cannot actually be together? i mean, she is immortal, and we live in different cities..."
>PC:"If you truly cared for her like she does for you, you will find a way to make it work"
>With that she walks away leaving you there to think
>Did you really feel that way for Luna?
>Well she definitly was nice, and beautiful in p0ny standards
>Maybe she was 'The one'

18
>Your special somep0ny, to love forever...
>But you were a poor human, from some lonely town
>She was a royal immortal princess, who gets whatever she wants
>Plus the way she speaks, is really hard to listen to
>But hadnt you dealt with Cherilee's faults?
>Ya and see where that ended up...
>You get up and head to your room
>You enter to find Rarity there, working?
>She turns to you, bloodshot eyes, she has been crying
>R:"Oh hi Anonymous...dont mind me, im just working to get my mind off...things"
"Things? Like what?"
>R:"Lucky has been cheating on me! That dirty stallion is nothing but trouble!"
>Woah bombshell, that doesnt seem like him
"Are you sure...?"
>R:"Yes! She was in the barracks with him! I heard!"

19
"Damn, well im going to go talk to him then..."
>You head down to the barracks
>You hear the moans Rarity must have heard, and you walk in
>There on the farthest bed is Lucky, and...Princess Celestia?
>Woah, is this shit written by M Night Shyamalan?
>They see, you, and the looks on there faces do not do their feelings of shock justice
"Im just gunna go..."
>As you turn to leave a magic aura consumes you and levatates you over to the other end of the room
>PC:"Well now that you know Anonymous, we just cant let you leave just like that..."
>Oh man oh man oh man...no no no no
"Um why not?"
>Princess Molestia gives a sick grin
>PM:"You know, i like the ring of that name, anyway let me call my sister down here"
>Luna magics down to the barracks...shits going down, and you just cant believe what the hell is happening
