Confessing My Loveby Sparkle FireChaptersConfessing My LoveThe Next MorningComing OutAn Immodest ProposalConfessing My LoveI rose from my bed at 11:30 at night with just one thing in mind: confessing my love. First, I made sure that there were no prying pony eyes, especially Pinkie Pie's, to compromise everything. I gave everypony a goodnight kiss before leaving, making absolutely sure to give Twilight some extra attention... well, because she's my little protégé. I began to tip-toe out of our hotel room like a meek little rabbit, careful not to tread over the creaky floorboards in the hallway... SCREECH!!! Silence. Whew, that's a relief. I walked to the roof of our hotel, spread my wings and flew into the star-studded sky. After a few minutes of admiring the world below me, I landed at the Great Leader's mansion. At first, I tried through the window. Uh-oh. It's locked. I then trotted off quietly to his magnificent solid bronze and copper front doors. I used my magic to fiddle with the door handle, trying to pick the lock and turn the handle, but... He had a deadbolt! And this was solid copper and bronze! "Alright," I started roaring. "I've had enough!" I then made the not-so-mature decision to fly straight through his bedroom window. A bad decision, obviously, coming from Rainbow Dash, but how else would I be able to carry him to the ruins of Midnight Castle and confess my love for him? Knowing the consequences, I played my cards and flew through his window without a second thought. I was hoping the entire time that I wouldn't demolish any walls in addition to that window. But at the very least, I was in! "Hooray! I got in!" I stopped for a minute to listen for any guards. "And I didn't trigger the alarm!" After that was accomplished, I used my magic to gently pick him up, thinking of him like a priceless piece of china as I placed him on my back for the trip up the mountain. I know now from Twilight that he over-reacts and begins to panic whenever he finds himself in a stressful situation. Referring to my student's stories, I could imagine what would happen if he were in a panic attack himself. And I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end! I carried us both out the window with him on my back (and drooling), while at the same time using a binding spell to ensure his safety on the flight up. The Great Leader was still sleeping like a baby by the time we reached the top, where the ruins were. I could recall exactly where everything once stood. Right away, I recognised the old blockhouse, where the weapons (and sometimes prisoners) were stored, as well as one of the guard towers and the military barracks. I used my magic to gently set him down on the old, overgrown floor of the castle's throne room, or what was left of it. I took a deep breath and aroused him from his sleep. "Wake up, sleepyhead. We're here." I stroked up and down his back a few times to let him know I was there. And then, his eyessss... Those deep pools of brown glistening like a diamond underneath the moonlight... Okay, what was I thinking? I immediately regained my sanity as he began to grow tense, having no sense of location. "Where am I? Oh no, where am I? Is this a dream? Am I sleepwalking?" I could tell that many thoughts were racing in his head, not to mention the no sense of location. Panicking and pacing around, he didn't even bother to notice me. "What am I going to do?" I tapped his shoulder a couple of times, and it was then I came face-to-face with him - his glistening eyes, his flowing hair, his lips, his everything - right there in front of me, but the instability on his face spoke for him. He was still labouring in his breaths as I told all. "I apologize for disturbing your sleep, but I feel that this is the perfect time to tell you something I've been holding back, and it's a very intimate secret." "So this is why you've dragged me up here! Why didn't you just throw me in the hotel's maintenance closet, for the Goddess' sake?!" "In all respect, it was hard for me to even build up the courage to say this. Comrade John Antolini, Supreme Leader of Cosarara, Supreme Commander of the Cosararan People's Armed Forces, and Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, among many others..." "Go on?" "I love you so much." Tears began gushing out of both our eyes. "You do? You really mean it?" "I'm sure." I could see him trying his hardest to process his emotions, surprised at what just happened. He collapsed under the weight of his emotions, overwhelmed at the fact that somebody - or somepony, rather - would show even a bit of affection to him, considering his usually tough nature following the death of his first wife. Crying a river, he fell into the most tender embrace I could give him. "You're the sweetest woman that I ever had the honour of meeting. You know that?" "In all honesty, I cannot wait to tell all my friends, especially my little sister, about how I was brave enough to tell you I loved you," We began to cuddle even closer, tears still flowing. "You are a kind, sweet young lady, Celestia, holding a broken man like me in your arms..." According to Twilight's stories, the Great Leader's first wife was killed by the Virgin Empire during the Insurrection of Whites in 1994 (the Insurrection lasted from 1993-1995), All six of his now grown children were from her, so it was especially painful. And right now, I could see the memories of his first wife emerging from the insides of his mind as we continued to cuddle. Thinking carefully as to not make him angry or sad, I conferred, "I want to give us the best years of our lives anypony can ever hope to have. And I will never, not even in an eternity, leave your side, and I will support you in every decision and venture you make." My voice began to crack from my emotions. "Does that s-s-sound good to y-you?" He replied with a tired nod, managing to squeeze out, "And there isn't a single person - or pony, I guess - on earth that can deny that we're in love." "OH, SWEETHEART!" I ejaculated as I began to shower him in kisses in hugs, refusing to let him go. He wriggled his way out of our embrace as he assumed a hurried look, "You need to get me back to bed before my guards think that I've been kidnapped." "But just one more snuggle for the road?" I offered. "Oh, what the hell? I guess so." He then ran back into my arms before kissing me with intensity rivaling even the Grand Galloping Gala's extravagant fireworks displays. After all had been said and done, I used a series of spells to respectively put him back in a deep sleep, bind him tightly onto my back, and calm his obviously shaky emotions. After tucking him back under the covers, I repaired the window, making sure to leave it spotless so the guards wouldn't get any bit suspicious. Then, I out of the bedroom, in the air, and back to the hotel in a flash. So then I sneaked back into the hotel room, careful not to tread on the creaky floorboards, the same mistake I made sneaking out... SCREECH!!! Good. Nopony's awake. Now back to bed - I had a rough night, "Can't you tell?" That was my sister, Princess Luna. She was expressing her concerns over my disappearance. Seated on the mattress of her bed, I told her everything, from the incident with the window to my confession of love. Tears flowed from her eyes like she was reading a cheeky romance novel. Best. Night. Ever. The Next Morning~~~ Small instance of violence and coarse language, you've been warned! ~~~ I could hear the workers' bell ring as I crawled out of my bed like a snail, the only thing motivating me my new-found love for the Great Leader. I couldn't wait to tell everypony at breakfast time about the night before. This also presented an opportunity for me to introduce him to all my friends, especially my faithful student. Once everypony was ready, we made our way to the hotel's buffet-style restaurant. The Great Leader was already seated at the large table at the center of the room with several Socialist Party officials, tossing around small talk. I immediately ran up to him at the first sight, swinging him around once before kissing him. My sister was the first to notice. "Wow, you're in quite the happy mood today, 'Tia." "Thanks. You noticed?" Twilight, seated across from the man of my dreams, had a slight problem with my throwing him around like a ragdoll, voicing "Umm... why did you do that to the Great Leader, of all people? You could have snapped his neck, and then you'd be in very big trouble!" "My apologies, Twilight, but did you notice my amorous mood?" "Well, yes," Twilight responded with a chuckle, "but that still doesn't answer my question as to why you just threw him in the air." I gave the Great Leader a passionate kiss before Rainbow Dash decided to interrupt, bringing out her rude and crass side. "Ugh! Why did you just kiss a communist?!" Twilight intervened. "Dash! What was that little discussion that we had before coming here about Cosarara not being a communist country and all about?" "He can get angry and kill people," Dash groaned, apparently annoyed. "Good girl." "I still don't get it." Rarity, rather shaken by the insult, demanded an apology. "What was that?! A political insult of the highest degree! You, Rainbow Dash, need to drag your stuck-up carcass up in front of them and apologize. And I'm not talking about any run-of-the-mill passive apology, oh no - I'm talking about a ROYAL APOLOGY - ON YOUR KNEES!" The cyan-coloured pegasus, flaming with rage, bucked her chair onto the floor before letting out a high-pitched squeal, almost like a little filly in a horror movie that was trapped in a closet with a monster inside. As she fumed in anger, she went on with her apology. "Your Highness, I am sorry for insulting you and your friend - " "Boyfriend!" I corrected, in my harsh tone of voice. "Boyfriend," Dash continued, "and to you," her tone of voice turning into one of displeasure, "I hope you break up with Celestia, because you are a FILTHY, STINKING CORRUPTED COMMUNIST!!! At that remark, the Great Leader flipped out, screaming and yelling at the top of his lungs before grabbing the Wonderbolts wannabe by the neck and head and smashing it against the wall, attempting to break her skull as if it were an egg. He paused to continue with his rant. "You will treat me with the same level of respect you give my girlfriend on a daily basis! You will also listen to me and stop running your goddamn fat mouth! Got that, you ten-dollar harlot?!! Rainbow Dash retains her tough-girl physique. "Okay communist." The Great Leader blew his top. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" He yells. He rants about Rainbow Dash at the top of his lungs. He throws plates and knocks down tables and chairs. In the heat of it all, he pulls out his handgun and begins firing at the giant windows in the front of the restaurant. At times, it seemed like he was cursing more than ranting, with every second or third word being a curse-word. He drew a handgun at his light-blue opposer. "You little piece of - " He was interrupted by my sister's bawls for mercy. I had to calm her down as he finally collapsed from lack of energy. I used my magic to pick up the exhausted Great Leader and set him down on my back. Everypony else trotted up to a tormented and bloodied Rainbow Dash, taking care of her injuries. The sluggish Great Leader managed to open his eyes for a few seconds. "I cannot believe the nerve of that rebellious rocks-for-brains. Come tomorrow, her ass is either in a jail cell or out of our country." He fell back asleep as I tried to calm Luna's fears. "Listen, little sister. My boyfriend has expressed a turbulent side to his personality. It's just the way that he decided to bring that out was very unacceptable - and dangerous. Just look at it - threatening to kill somepony; ranting at the top of his lungs; cursing like a sailor!" I started breaking out in tears. "It's just that I don't want to see him in a jail cell or in the hospital because he was in a fight!" Twilight trotted up beside me, making an attempt at consolation. "You can't blame him. He's always like that towards opponents of his ideas and opinions. Oh, and just you wait until you've seen him at the Party headquarters, especially towards the Nationalists. He can't go three hours without yelling at one." "I've heard about those rants... but I feel that he needs to change the way he manages his anger, after the way I saw him shouting at Rainbow Dash." "But he knows better - " "He needs to change," I interrupted. I directed my attention to the love of my life who was sleeping on my back. "But right now, I just want to hold him close. Everypony just... go back to our room. Allow me and Luna to be there with him, and don't enter our bedroom at any cost." "You can count on us, Your Highnesses." ~~~~~~~~~~ Once we reached our room, my sister and I laid next to him on my bed as we both tried our very best to soothe him. Luna was mainly worried about his threat to extradite or imprison Rainbow Dash, while I was concerned about his well-being. I initiated the conversation. "Great Leader, if you can please listen to what we have to say, that would be the best thing in the world. Just this once! Please!" Luna started. "Great Leader, are you truly considering forcing Dash to leave your nation or rot away in a jail cell? I understand why thoughts of communism and dictatorship rose in her mind, but is that agitation - that rage - enough to possibly stain her reputation? Please stroke my leg a few times if you heard." My sister was relieved as his arm reached out to stroke her. "Thank you! Thank you so much!", she replied as she gave the apple of my eye, the Great Leader, a small kiss on the cheek. I then took my turn speaking to him. "Sweetie, please listen to me!" He turned to lie on his back, resting his head on my heart. "Honey, are you okay? I don't wish to hurt you. "First of all, you need to find ways of managing your anger that doesn't involve taking it out on something or some other person or pony, okay? Nopony deserves to be a target of somepony else's anger. "Secondly, I wish to know whether everypony will accept me now that I love you so much, and whether the Party will accept your love for me. Will they?" The Great Leader replied with a simple nod of "yes". "I also want us to trust each other, and promise that we won't do each other wrong. Can I trust you? You can trust me, can you not?" Another nod. "And finally, I want our relationship to have plenty of communication, and for the most part, lots of respect between us. Can we manage that?" Another nod. "Because I think that we love each other very much and I most definitely want our relationship to last, you know what I mean? To stand the test of time." The Great Leader arose from his half-slumber and mustered enough strength to reply to everything with words. "I love you." His voice grew stronger. "I want out friendship and our love to last forever." "Go on..." was my reply. His voice, in a final crescendo, grew more tense. "I want to spend the last years of our lives together, you know, get married, travel the world, have a big, happy family. "To sum everything up - " "Yes, my love?" "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" The bellow in his voice as he said that seemed to echo across the room. And with that, he broke down crying, and we both tried to calm him down. Luna offered a concession. "You know what? You both may simply be the best of friends in the eyes of the world, but your love for each other is deep. This is beyond contestation." Reassured by hearing my sister's words, our longing for each other grew, before finally culminating in a giddy, but passionate kiss, one that I will never forget - even in my final years of life. Coming OutThe Great Leader and I had a friend of his arrange for us all a reservation to a ritzy restaurant in the Lap of Luxury hotel across the street, aptly named the Stillwaters diner. Dressed in our finest, we entered the restaurant while our hostess was kind enough to lead us to the table that was cordoned off especially for us, and without being asked to. I could tell that she was a professional. Right away, several of the chefs recognised my boyfriend and started to cheer 'We praise you!' in their native tongue (Cosararan) in support of his leadership, mainly praising his hard work for the people of the country he leads. Once seated at our table, I divulged everything. "Before we begin, I have a confession to make." Twilight was the first to respond. "We're all listening." "I wish to inform you all that the Great Leader is officially my boyfriend." Rainbow Dash spoke, eyes gaping open in disbelief. "Oh, Celestia... why?!!" I continued. "Yesterday evening, I decided to tell him about my feelings for him. He was so overwhelmed with his emotions and all that every ounce of grief that built up inside his soul over the death of his first wife was melted away by my thoughtful words." "Aww!" "I love him with all my heart, therefore I want you all to establish personal limits when engaging in conversation with him, especially when you're talking about our deep relationship." "Okay..." "From this day forth, nopony is to lay claim of love to him, nopony is to enter any form of dating relationship with him, and most importantly, nopony is to converse with him in a way that provokes undesirable thoughts, such as cheating and the like. "I also will not condone any form of polyamory involving the Great Leader, as that can damage our relationship. So me and Luna will be checking in on you all on a regular basis as a precaution against polyamory." Everypony was looking on me, confused. I cleared my throat. "To put it in simple terms I do not want anypony to be in any relations with my boyfriend that go against our own terms when it comes to our own deep, loving relationship." I paused for a moment, leaning in to give the Great Leader an assuring kiss. I continued. "And Sister?" "Yes, Celestia?" my sister replied, making sure to pay extra-close attention. "I want our own officials to be notified about this relationship." "Okay..." "I also want it to be proclaimed to all Equestria that I am in love with the Supreme Leader of Cosarara, and that any form of polyamory that goes against our own relations will be met with most severe consequences." "I realise that you're in love, but why do you have to be this controlling - " "Quiet! Continuing from what I was saying, allow me to please deal personally with penalising anypony who is found to be in an illegitimate relationship with boyfriend, the Supreme Leader of Cosarara. "My final request this evening is that you kindly recognise me and the Great Leader's relations as the only legitimate relationship allowable when it comes down to him and I, with every other pony..." I shifted my attention to a random young woman who happened to be looking at him. "...or person... Going back to my requests, "... legally barred from proposing a relationship with him, with exception to business and friendly relations only. "Do you wish for me to repeat anything?" I noticed a look of unease on Luna's face by my requests, as she thought doing so would mean that she, as well as every other being on Earth, would be legally obligated to stay away from him. And from her perspective, he would become a social hermit. I told her to not push it. Meanwhile everypony else was trying to wrap their heads around what exactly just unfolded. Twilight voiced her concerns first. "Your Highness, why would you be so carried away with this relationship stuff that you would be willing to just about suck him into his shell? He's just now allowed foreigners to see all the hard work he's done!" "I'm mainly concerned about her cheating, and that is why I'm doing this." "But Celestia - " Rainbow Dash then got the idea to interrupt. "You finally got it into your royal head that communists are cheaters! Let this be a lesson to ya: Communists. Always. Cheat." She even had the nerve to tell him a half-baked joke, based completely from her own hateful beliefs! "Hey! Hey communist, hey!" He jumped up at that remark and assumed a disgruntled mood. "WHAT?!" "Okay, okay, okay, let's say you're visiting the jail up at Arlington - " "Shut your mouth!" " - and you're walking to a detainee, and you start a conversation." "Not listening. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala ..." Rainbow Dash tries to raise her voice to tell the rest of her pathetic insult, but her train of thought was interrupted by a certain pink party-pony. "Ooooh... it's time to sing! Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala ..." She continued until she was in tune with the Great Leader's palaver. The light-blue coloured pegasus let out a deafening shriek. Going back to her insult, she put her thinking cap back on. She then assumed a mediocre Russian accent. "You'd say, 'Why are you here, comrade?' and - " "SHUT IT!" "And then the detainee says, 'Because you gorillas don't wanna let us out! That's why!', and then he starts shaking the bars..." she says, beginning to break down in laughter. I intervened. "Rainbow Dash, that was definitely not nice at all! Apologize right now!" The Great Leader makes his own insult. "Yeah! That's right! Apologize, ya fat ass!" "Sorry, my flank," she spurts out. My sister, Luna, puts on her serious face. "APOLOGIZE!" Rainbow Dash apologizes, taken aback. Rarity asked a question similar to my student's. "Excuse my curiosity, but do you truly want to follow through with this? Have you even given any of this any thought?" "Like I said before, I am concerned about him cheating." "So why in Equestria do you want to cement everything with a stack of legal documents?" "As for that question, it's so that the whole relationship has something to lean on in the case that is doesn't work out." Fluttershy asked the next question. "When are you two going to have your first date? That's what I want to know!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "Ooooh, I just know it's going to be at Sugarcube Corner! There'll be lots of heart-shaped decorations, romantic music, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, all for Celestia and her boyfriend!" I had to resist the urge to chuckle after Pinkie's little outburst. She's always so energetic... My sister was the next to speak. "How are you two lovebirds going to communicate when you're away from each other?" Right off the top of my head, "That's easy - we can chat through Skype. Does that not sound good?" The Great Leader nodded an assuring yes. I reached down to his height to kiss him on the lips one more time. "Anyways..." Applejack, in my boy's eyes as an honest, hard-working farmer, rose from her seat to ask her question. "First of all, ah wanna give ya both a good ol' 'YEEHAW!' fer bein' such good friends! "But ah reckon that this is where it'll start gettin' serious? Fergive me, Princess, ah read a lot of romance novels and what have ya." Everyone had to chuckle a bit at that remark. I, too, romantic novels and stories, some on the naughty side, in my spare time, but I think my boy already knows... Aplpejack continued. "While ah reckon you'd be gettin' along with him purty fast, you'll need ta start with puttin' some boundaries between the two of ya, 'cuz ah know that boys have them... how do ah put this here gently?..." "Go on?" "... feelin's toward ya." It was a bit difficult to answer in simple terms. "While I have grown to know him personally, and you're right about the 'feelings', I know in the bottom of my heart that he's mature enough to handle them." Noticing him coming to rest his tired head on my chest, my voice began to soften. "And would you look at that? He's already tired." A kiss on his forehead drifted him to sleep completely. "AWWWW!!!" Continuing in a quiet voice, almost at a whisper, I continued with my reply. "I assume you've all seen his rage fit this morning?" "Yep." "This is one of the reasons that, I believe, you might have suggested some limits. I'm sure that Twilight has figured out that when he doesn't get whatever he wants he goes into a rage fit. "This is also a reason why I want to make our relationship the sole legitimate one between him and I - for his own protection. To add on to that, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, caffeine, sugar, and the like might only be helpful in exacerbating the problem. So I would use my own good judgement when bringing that kind of stuff into his environment, you know? His surroundings. "To put it all together, let's just say that there will be limits." "Wow, ah've never seen anypony put 'er all together like that," Applejack replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to take things a small bit further between the Great Leader and I." I gave Twilight his credit card. "Twilight, take his card and use it to pay for our dinner." And with that, I left for Mango Beach with my boy on my back. An Immodest ProposalOnce we landed on the soft sands of Mango Beach, I laid out a towel, one that I had bought the afternoon before from a shop in Witnesses' Beach, in a way that our feet (my rear hooves) would be caressed by the rolling waves. I nuzzled the Great Leader's back with my front hooves a few times to wake him up. "Wake up, my cuddlebug." As he awakened, his deep pools of brown for eyes glistening in the Cosararan sunset, I continued to soothe him. "Sweetie pie, you're awake." The Great Leader began looking around in complete surprise, only to recognise it as Mango Beach by the sight of several wind turbines that were built above his mansion on the western slopes of Escape Point. "You know, one of the most romantic things to do, in my opinion, is to simply go somewhere, just the two of you, and watch the sun set." I reached for my iPod and played the Bee Gees (of Saturday Night Fever fame)' How Deep Is Your Love, magically drifting an earbud into his right ear, while at the same time placing his other ear over my beating heart, which longed for his affection, with myself unwilling to wait another minute. Once the song began playing, he ended up lying on top of me with him listening to my heartbeat while we both watched the sunset - is that not romantic and intimate? I began to stroke his back as he became more content in his nature. The sunset became a bright orange-scarlet colour as I stood up, with my boy following suit. "I love you!" I said as I reached down to hug him. "I love you too, sweetheart. Ohhh, so much." He then reached out and before we knew it, we were locked in a passionate, longing kiss. We then played around in the water for a bit, during which we locked lips once again, not to mention my coat was getting wet. I found my own hind legs wrapped around his waist as we fainted together (on dry land of course), his hands and my front hooves wrapped around each other, enveloped in our love. It was then I noticed Twilight looking at us in our passionate embrace. She walked in on us, curious as to what we were doing. "Your Highness?" "Yes, my faithful student?" I replied in a loving voice. "Celestia, that's so sweet, what you're doing! I think this relationship will last forever." "I have a good feeling that it will." I kissed him again, this time with my wings splayed. "Come on, baby! Hop on my back!" He enthusiastically lunged onto my back, holding on for dear life as I took off. We circled Escape Point a few times, before flying amongst the skyscrapers of the Financial District and flying by the Holy Island before finally deciding to drop him off at his mansion, not only because my wings were getting tired, but because it was almost time for him to retire to bed. He became obviously troubled by my departure. "Why are you leaving?" he uttered, tears appearing at the corners of his eyes. "To put it simply, the VISAs your party gave us expire the day after tomorrow. Because of this, we have to leave tomorrow." "I'm incredibly sorry." "I know." I proceeded to kiss him on the lips one last time. I also put forth an immodest proposal, if you know what I mean... "Do you want to go a bit farther before I have to leave?" "I guess so..." "Can you massage my hoof for me, please? It feels so good when a pony's rubbed there." With my magic, I guided his hand to the hoof I wanted him to massage, where he started to rub up, down, and in a circle, pressing down, even squeezing it on a few occasions, caressing it like a tropical breeze. Apparently, not only was he my boyfriend as well as the Supreme Leader of Cosarara, he was also a master masseur. "That feels soooo good, baby... Mmmmmm..." He let up on the massaging a small bit, climaxing the act by kissing the sole of my hoof ever so softly. "The other one, please..." He repeated everything on the other hoof. "It's still a shame that you have to leave tomorrow." "A depressing eventuality, indeed. I enjoyed your peoples' hospitality and how generous the Party was to grant us all VISAs to enter your country. But sadly, all good things have to come to an end. On top of that, there's simply no way to extend everyone's VISAs, one, because it's about 9:00pm at the moment, so I doubt that the embassy's open, and two, I have more important duties as co-ruler of Equestria." "I see... it's because you don't want to be seen lollygagging here in the workers' paradise that I created." Tears began rolling from his eyes. "You'll also need to let us all know what you think about this fund that me and my sister are proposing - " He interrupted. "And I realise that it's a lot of money. On the other hand, I also understand your need to preserve our motherland's Equestrian heritage." I continued. "And that's a good thing. Not only will it provide a boost to your country's tourism sector, it also brings the added benefits of more jobs as well as giving any visiting Equestrians a sense of pride and nostalgia once they bear witness to these... keys to our past." "Your comrades will surely know what it was like in medieval and ancient Equestria once our worker and builder comrades are finished with all the hard work that'll be put into these projects. With that said, I wish you the best, my sweets." "Farewell, my love! I have to go!" "Goodbye!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was certainly an emotional moment when the day of our departure dawned. The Great Leader stood next to the door, wishing everyone safe travels, especially to me and my sister. "I'll miss you and your sister the most!" The Great Leader fell into my arms, as an overly anxious farewell. I used my magic to retrieve for him a little present. "Have this necklace, sweetie," I said soothingly as I placed it around his neck and clasped it closed, "for with this you will always have the heart of Equestria." "Thank you, thank you so much!" The Great Leader responded in return. I activated the magic contained within the necklace. The magic seeped into his heart as he calmed down. I plopped a message on the receptionist's desk. The message read I request that you save me and my sister's suite - we'll be back. I enveloped everypony in my magic and teleported back to Equestria. ~~~My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (C) Hasbro Corp.~~~ ~~~I do not own the intellectual properties that this work of fan-fiction is based on~~~
Confessing My LoveI rose from my bed at 11:30 at night with just one thing in mind: confessing my love. First, I made sure that there were no prying pony eyes, especially Pinkie Pie's, to compromise everything. I gave everypony a goodnight kiss before leaving, making absolutely sure to give Twilight some extra attention... well, because she's my little protégé. I began to tip-toe out of our hotel room like a meek little rabbit, careful not to tread over the creaky floorboards in the hallway... SCREECH!!! Silence. Whew, that's a relief. I walked to the roof of our hotel, spread my wings and flew into the star-studded sky. After a few minutes of admiring the world below me, I landed at the Great Leader's mansion. At first, I tried through the window. Uh-oh. It's locked. I then trotted off quietly to his magnificent solid bronze and copper front doors. I used my magic to fiddle with the door handle, trying to pick the lock and turn the handle, but... He had a deadbolt! And this was solid copper and bronze! "Alright," I started roaring. "I've had enough!" I then made the not-so-mature decision to fly straight through his bedroom window. A bad decision, obviously, coming from Rainbow Dash, but how else would I be able to carry him to the ruins of Midnight Castle and confess my love for him? Knowing the consequences, I played my cards and flew through his window without a second thought. I was hoping the entire time that I wouldn't demolish any walls in addition to that window. But at the very least, I was in! "Hooray! I got in!" I stopped for a minute to listen for any guards. "And I didn't trigger the alarm!" After that was accomplished, I used my magic to gently pick him up, thinking of him like a priceless piece of china as I placed him on my back for the trip up the mountain. I know now from Twilight that he over-reacts and begins to panic whenever he finds himself in a stressful situation. Referring to my student's stories, I could imagine what would happen if he were in a panic attack himself. And I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end! I carried us both out the window with him on my back (and drooling), while at the same time using a binding spell to ensure his safety on the flight up. The Great Leader was still sleeping like a baby by the time we reached the top, where the ruins were. I could recall exactly where everything once stood. Right away, I recognised the old blockhouse, where the weapons (and sometimes prisoners) were stored, as well as one of the guard towers and the military barracks. I used my magic to gently set him down on the old, overgrown floor of the castle's throne room, or what was left of it. I took a deep breath and aroused him from his sleep. "Wake up, sleepyhead. We're here." I stroked up and down his back a few times to let him know I was there. And then, his eyessss... Those deep pools of brown glistening like a diamond underneath the moonlight... Okay, what was I thinking? I immediately regained my sanity as he began to grow tense, having no sense of location. "Where am I? Oh no, where am I? Is this a dream? Am I sleepwalking?" I could tell that many thoughts were racing in his head, not to mention the no sense of location. Panicking and pacing around, he didn't even bother to notice me. "What am I going to do?" I tapped his shoulder a couple of times, and it was then I came face-to-face with him - his glistening eyes, his flowing hair, his lips, his everything - right there in front of me, but the instability on his face spoke for him. He was still labouring in his breaths as I told all. "I apologize for disturbing your sleep, but I feel that this is the perfect time to tell you something I've been holding back, and it's a very intimate secret." "So this is why you've dragged me up here! Why didn't you just throw me in the hotel's maintenance closet, for the Goddess' sake?!" "In all respect, it was hard for me to even build up the courage to say this. Comrade John Antolini, Supreme Leader of Cosarara, Supreme Commander of the Cosararan People's Armed Forces, and Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, among many others..." "Go on?" "I love you so much." Tears began gushing out of both our eyes. "You do? You really mean it?" "I'm sure." I could see him trying his hardest to process his emotions, surprised at what just happened. He collapsed under the weight of his emotions, overwhelmed at the fact that somebody - or somepony, rather - would show even a bit of affection to him, considering his usually tough nature following the death of his first wife. Crying a river, he fell into the most tender embrace I could give him. "You're the sweetest woman that I ever had the honour of meeting. You know that?" "In all honesty, I cannot wait to tell all my friends, especially my little sister, about how I was brave enough to tell you I loved you," We began to cuddle even closer, tears still flowing. "You are a kind, sweet young lady, Celestia, holding a broken man like me in your arms..." According to Twilight's stories, the Great Leader's first wife was killed by the Virgin Empire during the Insurrection of Whites in 1994 (the Insurrection lasted from 1993-1995), All six of his now grown children were from her, so it was especially painful. And right now, I could see the memories of his first wife emerging from the insides of his mind as we continued to cuddle. Thinking carefully as to not make him angry or sad, I conferred, "I want to give us the best years of our lives anypony can ever hope to have. And I will never, not even in an eternity, leave your side, and I will support you in every decision and venture you make." My voice began to crack from my emotions. "Does that s-s-sound good to y-you?" He replied with a tired nod, managing to squeeze out, "And there isn't a single person - or pony, I guess - on earth that can deny that we're in love." "OH, SWEETHEART!" I ejaculated as I began to shower him in kisses in hugs, refusing to let him go. He wriggled his way out of our embrace as he assumed a hurried look, "You need to get me back to bed before my guards think that I've been kidnapped." "But just one more snuggle for the road?" I offered. "Oh, what the hell? I guess so." He then ran back into my arms before kissing me with intensity rivaling even the Grand Galloping Gala's extravagant fireworks displays. After all had been said and done, I used a series of spells to respectively put him back in a deep sleep, bind him tightly onto my back, and calm his obviously shaky emotions. After tucking him back under the covers, I repaired the window, making sure to leave it spotless so the guards wouldn't get any bit suspicious. Then, I out of the bedroom, in the air, and back to the hotel in a flash. So then I sneaked back into the hotel room, careful not to tread on the creaky floorboards, the same mistake I made sneaking out... SCREECH!!! Good. Nopony's awake. Now back to bed - I had a rough night, "Can't you tell?" That was my sister, Princess Luna. She was expressing her concerns over my disappearance. Seated on the mattress of her bed, I told her everything, from the incident with the window to my confession of love. Tears flowed from her eyes like she was reading a cheeky romance novel. Best. Night. Ever.
The Next Morning~~~ Small instance of violence and coarse language, you've been warned! ~~~ I could hear the workers' bell ring as I crawled out of my bed like a snail, the only thing motivating me my new-found love for the Great Leader. I couldn't wait to tell everypony at breakfast time about the night before. This also presented an opportunity for me to introduce him to all my friends, especially my faithful student. Once everypony was ready, we made our way to the hotel's buffet-style restaurant. The Great Leader was already seated at the large table at the center of the room with several Socialist Party officials, tossing around small talk. I immediately ran up to him at the first sight, swinging him around once before kissing him. My sister was the first to notice. "Wow, you're in quite the happy mood today, 'Tia." "Thanks. You noticed?" Twilight, seated across from the man of my dreams, had a slight problem with my throwing him around like a ragdoll, voicing "Umm... why did you do that to the Great Leader, of all people? You could have snapped his neck, and then you'd be in very big trouble!" "My apologies, Twilight, but did you notice my amorous mood?" "Well, yes," Twilight responded with a chuckle, "but that still doesn't answer my question as to why you just threw him in the air." I gave the Great Leader a passionate kiss before Rainbow Dash decided to interrupt, bringing out her rude and crass side. "Ugh! Why did you just kiss a communist?!" Twilight intervened. "Dash! What was that little discussion that we had before coming here about Cosarara not being a communist country and all about?" "He can get angry and kill people," Dash groaned, apparently annoyed. "Good girl." "I still don't get it." Rarity, rather shaken by the insult, demanded an apology. "What was that?! A political insult of the highest degree! You, Rainbow Dash, need to drag your stuck-up carcass up in front of them and apologize. And I'm not talking about any run-of-the-mill passive apology, oh no - I'm talking about a ROYAL APOLOGY - ON YOUR KNEES!" The cyan-coloured pegasus, flaming with rage, bucked her chair onto the floor before letting out a high-pitched squeal, almost like a little filly in a horror movie that was trapped in a closet with a monster inside. As she fumed in anger, she went on with her apology. "Your Highness, I am sorry for insulting you and your friend - " "Boyfriend!" I corrected, in my harsh tone of voice. "Boyfriend," Dash continued, "and to you," her tone of voice turning into one of displeasure, "I hope you break up with Celestia, because you are a FILTHY, STINKING CORRUPTED COMMUNIST!!! At that remark, the Great Leader flipped out, screaming and yelling at the top of his lungs before grabbing the Wonderbolts wannabe by the neck and head and smashing it against the wall, attempting to break her skull as if it were an egg. He paused to continue with his rant. "You will treat me with the same level of respect you give my girlfriend on a daily basis! You will also listen to me and stop running your goddamn fat mouth! Got that, you ten-dollar harlot?!! Rainbow Dash retains her tough-girl physique. "Okay communist." The Great Leader blew his top. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" He yells. He rants about Rainbow Dash at the top of his lungs. He throws plates and knocks down tables and chairs. In the heat of it all, he pulls out his handgun and begins firing at the giant windows in the front of the restaurant. At times, it seemed like he was cursing more than ranting, with every second or third word being a curse-word. He drew a handgun at his light-blue opposer. "You little piece of - " He was interrupted by my sister's bawls for mercy. I had to calm her down as he finally collapsed from lack of energy. I used my magic to pick up the exhausted Great Leader and set him down on my back. Everypony else trotted up to a tormented and bloodied Rainbow Dash, taking care of her injuries. The sluggish Great Leader managed to open his eyes for a few seconds. "I cannot believe the nerve of that rebellious rocks-for-brains. Come tomorrow, her ass is either in a jail cell or out of our country." He fell back asleep as I tried to calm Luna's fears. "Listen, little sister. My boyfriend has expressed a turbulent side to his personality. It's just the way that he decided to bring that out was very unacceptable - and dangerous. Just look at it - threatening to kill somepony; ranting at the top of his lungs; cursing like a sailor!" I started breaking out in tears. "It's just that I don't want to see him in a jail cell or in the hospital because he was in a fight!" Twilight trotted up beside me, making an attempt at consolation. "You can't blame him. He's always like that towards opponents of his ideas and opinions. Oh, and just you wait until you've seen him at the Party headquarters, especially towards the Nationalists. He can't go three hours without yelling at one." "I've heard about those rants... but I feel that he needs to change the way he manages his anger, after the way I saw him shouting at Rainbow Dash." "But he knows better - " "He needs to change," I interrupted. I directed my attention to the love of my life who was sleeping on my back. "But right now, I just want to hold him close. Everypony just... go back to our room. Allow me and Luna to be there with him, and don't enter our bedroom at any cost." "You can count on us, Your Highnesses." ~~~~~~~~~~ Once we reached our room, my sister and I laid next to him on my bed as we both tried our very best to soothe him. Luna was mainly worried about his threat to extradite or imprison Rainbow Dash, while I was concerned about his well-being. I initiated the conversation. "Great Leader, if you can please listen to what we have to say, that would be the best thing in the world. Just this once! Please!" Luna started. "Great Leader, are you truly considering forcing Dash to leave your nation or rot away in a jail cell? I understand why thoughts of communism and dictatorship rose in her mind, but is that agitation - that rage - enough to possibly stain her reputation? Please stroke my leg a few times if you heard." My sister was relieved as his arm reached out to stroke her. "Thank you! Thank you so much!", she replied as she gave the apple of my eye, the Great Leader, a small kiss on the cheek. I then took my turn speaking to him. "Sweetie, please listen to me!" He turned to lie on his back, resting his head on my heart. "Honey, are you okay? I don't wish to hurt you. "First of all, you need to find ways of managing your anger that doesn't involve taking it out on something or some other person or pony, okay? Nopony deserves to be a target of somepony else's anger. "Secondly, I wish to know whether everypony will accept me now that I love you so much, and whether the Party will accept your love for me. Will they?" The Great Leader replied with a simple nod of "yes". "I also want us to trust each other, and promise that we won't do each other wrong. Can I trust you? You can trust me, can you not?" Another nod. "And finally, I want our relationship to have plenty of communication, and for the most part, lots of respect between us. Can we manage that?" Another nod. "Because I think that we love each other very much and I most definitely want our relationship to last, you know what I mean? To stand the test of time." The Great Leader arose from his half-slumber and mustered enough strength to reply to everything with words. "I love you." His voice grew stronger. "I want out friendship and our love to last forever." "Go on..." was my reply. His voice, in a final crescendo, grew more tense. "I want to spend the last years of our lives together, you know, get married, travel the world, have a big, happy family. "To sum everything up - " "Yes, my love?" "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" The bellow in his voice as he said that seemed to echo across the room. And with that, he broke down crying, and we both tried to calm him down. Luna offered a concession. "You know what? You both may simply be the best of friends in the eyes of the world, but your love for each other is deep. This is beyond contestation." Reassured by hearing my sister's words, our longing for each other grew, before finally culminating in a giddy, but passionate kiss, one that I will never forget - even in my final years of life.
Coming OutThe Great Leader and I had a friend of his arrange for us all a reservation to a ritzy restaurant in the Lap of Luxury hotel across the street, aptly named the Stillwaters diner. Dressed in our finest, we entered the restaurant while our hostess was kind enough to lead us to the table that was cordoned off especially for us, and without being asked to. I could tell that she was a professional. Right away, several of the chefs recognised my boyfriend and started to cheer 'We praise you!' in their native tongue (Cosararan) in support of his leadership, mainly praising his hard work for the people of the country he leads. Once seated at our table, I divulged everything. "Before we begin, I have a confession to make." Twilight was the first to respond. "We're all listening." "I wish to inform you all that the Great Leader is officially my boyfriend." Rainbow Dash spoke, eyes gaping open in disbelief. "Oh, Celestia... why?!!" I continued. "Yesterday evening, I decided to tell him about my feelings for him. He was so overwhelmed with his emotions and all that every ounce of grief that built up inside his soul over the death of his first wife was melted away by my thoughtful words." "Aww!" "I love him with all my heart, therefore I want you all to establish personal limits when engaging in conversation with him, especially when you're talking about our deep relationship." "Okay..." "From this day forth, nopony is to lay claim of love to him, nopony is to enter any form of dating relationship with him, and most importantly, nopony is to converse with him in a way that provokes undesirable thoughts, such as cheating and the like. "I also will not condone any form of polyamory involving the Great Leader, as that can damage our relationship. So me and Luna will be checking in on you all on a regular basis as a precaution against polyamory." Everypony was looking on me, confused. I cleared my throat. "To put it in simple terms I do not want anypony to be in any relations with my boyfriend that go against our own terms when it comes to our own deep, loving relationship." I paused for a moment, leaning in to give the Great Leader an assuring kiss. I continued. "And Sister?" "Yes, Celestia?" my sister replied, making sure to pay extra-close attention. "I want our own officials to be notified about this relationship." "Okay..." "I also want it to be proclaimed to all Equestria that I am in love with the Supreme Leader of Cosarara, and that any form of polyamory that goes against our own relations will be met with most severe consequences." "I realise that you're in love, but why do you have to be this controlling - " "Quiet! Continuing from what I was saying, allow me to please deal personally with penalising anypony who is found to be in an illegitimate relationship with boyfriend, the Supreme Leader of Cosarara. "My final request this evening is that you kindly recognise me and the Great Leader's relations as the only legitimate relationship allowable when it comes down to him and I, with every other pony..." I shifted my attention to a random young woman who happened to be looking at him. "...or person... Going back to my requests, "... legally barred from proposing a relationship with him, with exception to business and friendly relations only. "Do you wish for me to repeat anything?" I noticed a look of unease on Luna's face by my requests, as she thought doing so would mean that she, as well as every other being on Earth, would be legally obligated to stay away from him. And from her perspective, he would become a social hermit. I told her to not push it. Meanwhile everypony else was trying to wrap their heads around what exactly just unfolded. Twilight voiced her concerns first. "Your Highness, why would you be so carried away with this relationship stuff that you would be willing to just about suck him into his shell? He's just now allowed foreigners to see all the hard work he's done!" "I'm mainly concerned about her cheating, and that is why I'm doing this." "But Celestia - " Rainbow Dash then got the idea to interrupt. "You finally got it into your royal head that communists are cheaters! Let this be a lesson to ya: Communists. Always. Cheat." She even had the nerve to tell him a half-baked joke, based completely from her own hateful beliefs! "Hey! Hey communist, hey!" He jumped up at that remark and assumed a disgruntled mood. "WHAT?!" "Okay, okay, okay, let's say you're visiting the jail up at Arlington - " "Shut your mouth!" " - and you're walking to a detainee, and you start a conversation." "Not listening. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala ..." Rainbow Dash tries to raise her voice to tell the rest of her pathetic insult, but her train of thought was interrupted by a certain pink party-pony. "Ooooh... it's time to sing! Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala ..." She continued until she was in tune with the Great Leader's palaver. The light-blue coloured pegasus let out a deafening shriek. Going back to her insult, she put her thinking cap back on. She then assumed a mediocre Russian accent. "You'd say, 'Why are you here, comrade?' and - " "SHUT IT!" "And then the detainee says, 'Because you gorillas don't wanna let us out! That's why!', and then he starts shaking the bars..." she says, beginning to break down in laughter. I intervened. "Rainbow Dash, that was definitely not nice at all! Apologize right now!" The Great Leader makes his own insult. "Yeah! That's right! Apologize, ya fat ass!" "Sorry, my flank," she spurts out. My sister, Luna, puts on her serious face. "APOLOGIZE!" Rainbow Dash apologizes, taken aback. Rarity asked a question similar to my student's. "Excuse my curiosity, but do you truly want to follow through with this? Have you even given any of this any thought?" "Like I said before, I am concerned about him cheating." "So why in Equestria do you want to cement everything with a stack of legal documents?" "As for that question, it's so that the whole relationship has something to lean on in the case that is doesn't work out." Fluttershy asked the next question. "When are you two going to have your first date? That's what I want to know!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "Ooooh, I just know it's going to be at Sugarcube Corner! There'll be lots of heart-shaped decorations, romantic music, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, all for Celestia and her boyfriend!" I had to resist the urge to chuckle after Pinkie's little outburst. She's always so energetic... My sister was the next to speak. "How are you two lovebirds going to communicate when you're away from each other?" Right off the top of my head, "That's easy - we can chat through Skype. Does that not sound good?" The Great Leader nodded an assuring yes. I reached down to his height to kiss him on the lips one more time. "Anyways..." Applejack, in my boy's eyes as an honest, hard-working farmer, rose from her seat to ask her question. "First of all, ah wanna give ya both a good ol' 'YEEHAW!' fer bein' such good friends! "But ah reckon that this is where it'll start gettin' serious? Fergive me, Princess, ah read a lot of romance novels and what have ya." Everyone had to chuckle a bit at that remark. I, too, romantic novels and stories, some on the naughty side, in my spare time, but I think my boy already knows... Aplpejack continued. "While ah reckon you'd be gettin' along with him purty fast, you'll need ta start with puttin' some boundaries between the two of ya, 'cuz ah know that boys have them... how do ah put this here gently?..." "Go on?" "... feelin's toward ya." It was a bit difficult to answer in simple terms. "While I have grown to know him personally, and you're right about the 'feelings', I know in the bottom of my heart that he's mature enough to handle them." Noticing him coming to rest his tired head on my chest, my voice began to soften. "And would you look at that? He's already tired." A kiss on his forehead drifted him to sleep completely. "AWWWW!!!" Continuing in a quiet voice, almost at a whisper, I continued with my reply. "I assume you've all seen his rage fit this morning?" "Yep." "This is one of the reasons that, I believe, you might have suggested some limits. I'm sure that Twilight has figured out that when he doesn't get whatever he wants he goes into a rage fit. "This is also a reason why I want to make our relationship the sole legitimate one between him and I - for his own protection. To add on to that, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, caffeine, sugar, and the like might only be helpful in exacerbating the problem. So I would use my own good judgement when bringing that kind of stuff into his environment, you know? His surroundings. "To put it all together, let's just say that there will be limits." "Wow, ah've never seen anypony put 'er all together like that," Applejack replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to take things a small bit further between the Great Leader and I." I gave Twilight his credit card. "Twilight, take his card and use it to pay for our dinner." And with that, I left for Mango Beach with my boy on my back.
An Immodest ProposalOnce we landed on the soft sands of Mango Beach, I laid out a towel, one that I had bought the afternoon before from a shop in Witnesses' Beach, in a way that our feet (my rear hooves) would be caressed by the rolling waves. I nuzzled the Great Leader's back with my front hooves a few times to wake him up. "Wake up, my cuddlebug." As he awakened, his deep pools of brown for eyes glistening in the Cosararan sunset, I continued to soothe him. "Sweetie pie, you're awake." The Great Leader began looking around in complete surprise, only to recognise it as Mango Beach by the sight of several wind turbines that were built above his mansion on the western slopes of Escape Point. "You know, one of the most romantic things to do, in my opinion, is to simply go somewhere, just the two of you, and watch the sun set." I reached for my iPod and played the Bee Gees (of Saturday Night Fever fame)' How Deep Is Your Love, magically drifting an earbud into his right ear, while at the same time placing his other ear over my beating heart, which longed for his affection, with myself unwilling to wait another minute. Once the song began playing, he ended up lying on top of me with him listening to my heartbeat while we both watched the sunset - is that not romantic and intimate? I began to stroke his back as he became more content in his nature. The sunset became a bright orange-scarlet colour as I stood up, with my boy following suit. "I love you!" I said as I reached down to hug him. "I love you too, sweetheart. Ohhh, so much." He then reached out and before we knew it, we were locked in a passionate, longing kiss. We then played around in the water for a bit, during which we locked lips once again, not to mention my coat was getting wet. I found my own hind legs wrapped around his waist as we fainted together (on dry land of course), his hands and my front hooves wrapped around each other, enveloped in our love. It was then I noticed Twilight looking at us in our passionate embrace. She walked in on us, curious as to what we were doing. "Your Highness?" "Yes, my faithful student?" I replied in a loving voice. "Celestia, that's so sweet, what you're doing! I think this relationship will last forever." "I have a good feeling that it will." I kissed him again, this time with my wings splayed. "Come on, baby! Hop on my back!" He enthusiastically lunged onto my back, holding on for dear life as I took off. We circled Escape Point a few times, before flying amongst the skyscrapers of the Financial District and flying by the Holy Island before finally deciding to drop him off at his mansion, not only because my wings were getting tired, but because it was almost time for him to retire to bed. He became obviously troubled by my departure. "Why are you leaving?" he uttered, tears appearing at the corners of his eyes. "To put it simply, the VISAs your party gave us expire the day after tomorrow. Because of this, we have to leave tomorrow." "I'm incredibly sorry." "I know." I proceeded to kiss him on the lips one last time. I also put forth an immodest proposal, if you know what I mean... "Do you want to go a bit farther before I have to leave?" "I guess so..." "Can you massage my hoof for me, please? It feels so good when a pony's rubbed there." With my magic, I guided his hand to the hoof I wanted him to massage, where he started to rub up, down, and in a circle, pressing down, even squeezing it on a few occasions, caressing it like a tropical breeze. Apparently, not only was he my boyfriend as well as the Supreme Leader of Cosarara, he was also a master masseur. "That feels soooo good, baby... Mmmmmm..." He let up on the massaging a small bit, climaxing the act by kissing the sole of my hoof ever so softly. "The other one, please..." He repeated everything on the other hoof. "It's still a shame that you have to leave tomorrow." "A depressing eventuality, indeed. I enjoyed your peoples' hospitality and how generous the Party was to grant us all VISAs to enter your country. But sadly, all good things have to come to an end. On top of that, there's simply no way to extend everyone's VISAs, one, because it's about 9:00pm at the moment, so I doubt that the embassy's open, and two, I have more important duties as co-ruler of Equestria." "I see... it's because you don't want to be seen lollygagging here in the workers' paradise that I created." Tears began rolling from his eyes. "You'll also need to let us all know what you think about this fund that me and my sister are proposing - " He interrupted. "And I realise that it's a lot of money. On the other hand, I also understand your need to preserve our motherland's Equestrian heritage." I continued. "And that's a good thing. Not only will it provide a boost to your country's tourism sector, it also brings the added benefits of more jobs as well as giving any visiting Equestrians a sense of pride and nostalgia once they bear witness to these... keys to our past." "Your comrades will surely know what it was like in medieval and ancient Equestria once our worker and builder comrades are finished with all the hard work that'll be put into these projects. With that said, I wish you the best, my sweets." "Farewell, my love! I have to go!" "Goodbye!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was certainly an emotional moment when the day of our departure dawned. The Great Leader stood next to the door, wishing everyone safe travels, especially to me and my sister. "I'll miss you and your sister the most!" The Great Leader fell into my arms, as an overly anxious farewell. I used my magic to retrieve for him a little present. "Have this necklace, sweetie," I said soothingly as I placed it around his neck and clasped it closed, "for with this you will always have the heart of Equestria." "Thank you, thank you so much!" The Great Leader responded in return. I activated the magic contained within the necklace. The magic seeped into his heart as he calmed down. I plopped a message on the receptionist's desk. The message read I request that you save me and my sister's suite - we'll be back. I enveloped everypony in my magic and teleported back to Equestria. ~~~My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (C) Hasbro Corp.~~~ ~~~I do not own the intellectual properties that this work of fan-fiction is based on~~~
