“And stay out.” A guy yelled as I landed outside of the bar. Shit head. I only asked for a shot of whiskey and they kick me out. I look at the bar and did a double take at the window. “No alcohol here.” A sign said. Oh shit. I got up, moved are to the front door and grabbed my bag. I grabbed a pack of cigarettes and my lighter and lit me a cigarettes. I flapped my wings some and started to the next town. I was 6’ 5” with black wings. I had short brown hair with black and white highlights. My eyes were slits and changed with my mood and a southern boy draw. My accent was as thick as honey of southern. My clothes were modern southern with some depressing themes like skull rings and a lock necklace. I had a cowboy hat with metal piercing in the brim and pearly white teeth. My cutie mark was a shot gun and a rifle forming an ‘x’ and my tail was black and white. My boots were southern and my arms were of pure muscle. I smoke Marlboro reds long and drank whiskey. My arms were adorned with tattoos of quotes and lyrics. I was only about a mile or two away so I flew. I started to see the town when a flash of rainbow flew by. I stopped and looked for the source. I didn’t see anyone. I started to the town again and landed near another bar. I looked at all the windows. No signs, good. I walked in and asked for a whiskey. He poured me a glass and slid it to me. I grabbed it, tilted it to my face and down it. I liked the way it felt. I turned over my glass, tossed a half dollar to him and left. I flew around and looked for work. Then I was tackled by a pink flash.
“Hitheremyname’sPinkie. Welcometoponyville. IneedtothrowyouapartybecauseIneverseenyoubeforeandIknoweveryone.” A girl with pink hair said way too quickly.
“Whoa girl. Hold your stampeding cattle. Do what?” I said.
“My name is pinkie pie. Welcome to Ponyville. I need to throw you a party because I never seen you before and I know everyone.” She said slower. I got up and dusted myself off
“My name’s Remington shotgun. I need a place to work know of one.” I said and took the cigarette out of my mouth and blew out smoke.
“You can work and sweet apple acres. Apple jack always needs some sort of help.” She said. I noticed my cigarette burned her.
“Shit I’m sorry.” I said and dropped the cigarette and snuffed it. I looked at her arm and noticed it was bad.
“Oh it’s Ok. I know it was my fault I didn’t see the cigarette.” She said and somehow was still smiling.
“Ok. But here I’ll walk you to the hospital to get it checked.” I said and we walked to the hospital. I checked her in and as soon as they saw it was a cigarette burn, a red alarm went off.
“What the hell?” I said. I got tackled and cuffed. I struggled some and was sent to a carriage. I wasn’t allowed near the windows or nothing. We stopped and I was dragged out by my wings.
“Hey, shit head, their real.” I yelled. The guy still dragged me by my wings. I didn’t mind. I just didn’t like them touching my wings. We soon stopped and I sat up. The guy looked at me and I looked at him. He had golden armor and a spear. I smirked and spit on him. He punched me and my lip started to bleed. Huge ass doors started to open and a woman in a white dress with wings and a horn walked in. she looked at me and I stood the guards pointed there spears. I bowed and looked at her again.
“Who are you?” She demanded.
“You gotta say please.” I said. I was a total bastard to royalty because I met thousands of royals and they were all rich snobs.
“Will you please tell me your name?” She asked.
“Remington shotgun is the name. Working is my game.” I said and tipped my hat. She looked me over and a guard handed her a scroll.
“Do you smoke?” She asked before she unrolled it.
“Yes and I drink.” I said. She unrolled it and shook her head.
“Did you burn pinkie pie on purpose?” She asked.
“No ma’am. I was just walking through town looking for work when she tackled me and started ranting about throwing me a party. Is that normal?” I asked.
“Yes very much pinkie does that for everyone. She is part of the welcoming wagon.” She said.
“Also why did the assholes drag me by my-ooooff?” I said and got punched again by the guard. I spit out some blood and looked at the guy who punched me.
“What is with the punching? I’m gonna lose a tooth if you keep punching my jaw.” I said.
“How dare you interrupt someone who is speaking?” Another woman yelled. She was clad in midnight cloths and with a horn and wings.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Silence.” She yelled to me.
“First of all I don’t take orders from people who are power hungry, second, yelling, very much rude, and thirdly, what the hell; no one has said silence since 1982.” I said. The woman in white whispered something incoherent to the lady in black.
“Remington. What make you so worthy of telling me what to do?” She asked and walked around me.
“Well personally I don’t take orders from anyone who is like the usual rich snobs.” I said.
“Am I ‘the usual rich snobs’?” She asked.
“Not really. Just the attitude seems like you have been stuck away from civilization for too long.” I said. The woman in white winced and I knew I struck a nerve. Especially when I was thrown into a wall. Damn it.
“Do you have any idea who you are talking to?” She yelled.
“Actually no. I don’t even know who the hell you are.” I said. I landed on my back and looked up at her.
“I am Luna co-ruler of Equestria.” She said.
“You’re Luna? As in nightmare moon? Ha!” I started to laugh my ass off.
“What is so funny?” She hissed.
“I imagined you more modern.” I said as I got up.
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“You know piercings, tattoos, leather jackets, and more skin showing and I am guessing you are Celestia.” I said. Luna dead panned.
“Whatever can I go? I left my bag at the hospital.” I said. Celestia pulled my bag from behind her throne.
“You will stay here since it is dark out.” Luna said. I looked out the window.
“Whatever I still see the sun.” I said and let the guard undo my cuffs. I turned to the window again and saw the moon.
“Come on. You got to be shitting me.” I said. Great. I have to sleep in a castle with two women. B-E-A-utiful.
“I will show you your room.” Celestia said. I rubbed my wrists and followed her.
“Sorry about my sister. She is just had returned a month ago and is not taking it to well.” She said.
“Actually it’s my fault. I hit a very bad spot. I’m sorry.” I said.
“No. you did not know.” She said and guards opened a set of doors. It showed a room with a black ceiling spotted with stars. I looked at the walls. One wall was a sunset with pink and orange clouds and bays of hay on the ground. All the furniture looked like home an old drawer. The closet doors were old and the bed was an old bed about 1920s.
“Do you like it?” She asked.
“It’s almost like home.” I said sniffing.
“What is missing?” She asked.
“My family. We had a farm about two years back. Two crazy kids were smoking in our field and it caught on fire. I was the first to wake. I yelled to my parents and my sister. They woke up and ran to save our field. We looked out and we knew we couldn’t save it so we started to get the animals out of the barn but it too caught on fire. It collapsed on my family but I could see my sister trapped under a beam. I pulled her out. A week later she died from lung failure in her sleep while in the hospital. I started to smoke and drink to ease the pain but nothing did. It just numbed it.” I said. I started to cry and break down. I felt two sets of arms around me. I looked and saw Luna and Celestia hugging me. I smiled and accepted the embrace. I stopped crying and stood. We said good night and they left. I pulled off my shirt and put it over a chair. I removed my pants and boots and placed the pants over the shirt and the boots under the chair I got out of my underwear and placed them under the pants. I got under the covers and waited for sleep to come.
Morning
I woke to the sun starting to rise. I got up, out of bed, and soon regretted it. A maid was in my room bringing freshly folded clothes. She was tanned and had brown hair. She had no wings or horn and she had ear rings. I looked down and saw I was nude. I covered myself with my wings and smiled sheepishly. She handed me my clothes and left. I quickly got dressed and got out of the room. I walked around the castle a while till I bumped into Luna. Shit. She looked at me and smiled.
“You must be looking for the dining hall. Follow me.” She said.
“I’m also guessing you want to smoke.” She said.
“What are you now a psychic?” I asked. She giggled.
“Wait a second that explains it.” I said.
“What?” She asked.
“Why the room looks almost exactly like the one I had, why you know where I am looking for and why you know I want to smoke. You have been reading my mind.” I said.
“B-E-A-Utiful.” She said.
“Shit.” I said.
“Oh yeah. Your steak will be ready any second now.” She said as guards opened a set of doors and we walked into a dining room. I sat at the table and looked beside my plate. I always sucked at picking silver ware at balls and stuff. I looked to Celestia and then to Luna.
“Do you know which to use?” Luna asked. I put my elbow on the table and leaned my face against it.
“Honestly I just use my hunting knife and my bare hands.” I said. They both dead panned.
“A dirty knife and your hands?” Luna asked.
“And some whiskey to wash it down.” I added.
“Well make yourself at home.” She said. I picked up the steak and threw it in the air. I caught it in my jaws and ate it whole. I looked too them and saw they had their mouths open and eyes wide.
“Hey I know I’m attractive but don’t drool over me.” I said and they shut their mouths.
“Well thank you for the meal but I gotta make like a banana and split.” I said. I picked up my bag and walked out. I decided to go to the library and read some about this town before I worked here.
Ponyville
I landed in front of the library and knocked. A girl with an academy uniform and multi shaded purple hair answered the door. Smoke and brimstone flooded my nostrils.
“Yes?” she asked.
“I came to read about this town ma’am.” I said and tipped my hat.
“Ma’am? You do know I am only 17, right?” She said.
“So am I but I still have some manners.” I said. My wings fluttered a bit and she went wide eyed over them. She started to try to look and touch them. She was also rambling about incoherent.
“Twilight. Here’s the book about wings you wanted.” A teen said. He was about 17 and had green Mohawk. He wore purple pants and a purple shirt. He had a reptile tail hanging. He had lip and ear piercings. He was tall and skinny. He was pretty Goth for a library boy. I ran to him and hid behind him. I used him like a shield and he poked me with his tail.
“Ow. Hey you got skin like chain mail which is pretty good right now because she is trying to get me.” I said.
“Twilight what have I told you about personal space?” He asked.
“I never heard of it and that they don’t exist.” She said.
“Here take your book and go to your room. I’ll help him.” He said. She walked to her room and he locked her door from the outside.
“Sorry about that. What do you need?” He asked.
“Well I need a book of the town and a something about this sweet apple acres place I heard about.” I said and he handed me a book.
“This one is of the town you’re lucky we have it right now because twilight almost loves this book.” He said.
“Thanks.” I said.
After four hours
“Thanks for the book. I need to get going. Wait how do I get to sweet apple acres?” I asked and grabbed my bag
“Just fly up and look for an apple orchard. That is their crops then look for a barn.” He said.
“Thanks.” I said. I walked out and took to the skies. I closed my eye as I flew and relaxed. I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw the apple orchard and flew over it. I stopped my wings and started to fall. I held my fist up and landed, punching the ground. When I walked around, I was met with a fist and I blacked out.
Later
I woke in a barn to a blonde cowgirl, blonde shirtless cowboy with straw in his mouth, and a bouncy little kid. The blonde cowgirl was glaring. The cowboy was looking at my face and the bouncy little kid was bouncing and asking a million and one questions.
“What are you doing here?” The cowgirl asked. At least I think because the Texas accent was thicker than a safe door.
“Looking for a job and a place to stay. A little pink haired overly happy girl directed me here.” I said. I looked around and saw the bouncy kid rummaging through my bag.
“Hey get out of there.” I said and tried to stand but was held by ropes.
“What in tarnation? What is this?” I asked. I struggled again my binds and grunted in struggle.
“Don’t bother. I tied them.” The cowboy said.
“I bet you didn’t bother to search me.” I said and lifted my hands away from me and the ropes fell off. I got up and gathered my things.
“So can I have a job here?” I asked.
“Yeah just don’t expect to sleep in.” She said.
“My name is Remington shotgun.” I said and held out my hand.
“Apple jack, big Mac, and apple bloom.” She said and pointed to her then the cowboy and last the kid.
“Thank you and is it okay if I stay here in the barn?” I asked.
“I don’t see a problem with that.” She said and I did a back flip up to the next level. I sorted my things and jumped down. I walked to apple jack and she asked if she wanted me to meet her friends.
“Sure. I got nothing to do.” I said and she dragged me to a pick-up. She called some people and drove us to town. We entered the library and I was tackled by twilight.
“Holy hell woman stop trying to rape me.” I said and pinned her to the ground.
“Oh sorry I just haven’t taken my medicine yet.” She said and I got off her.
“ADHD?” I asked. She nodded.
“Did you drink coffee this morning?” I asked and she shook her head.
“Yo Mohawk can you make a cup?” I said to the green haired boy.
“It’s Spike.” He said.
“Fine Spiky can you make a cup of coffee for her?” I said and he growled. He left and returned with a cup.
“Here drink it and it will work better then the medicine.” I said. She downed it and winced a little.
“Come on. Let’s go inside and chat.” I said and lifted her up bridal style and walked inside the library. I set her down on the couch in a corner and sat beside her.
“I prefer my room if that is okay?” She said. I lifted up again bridal style and carried her to the room she pointed out. I sat her in a love seat and waited for the others to file in. they soon filed in and sat in their seats of choice. I sat on the ground and listened to A.J. as she introduced me to everyone.
There was Fluttershy. A shy thing she was but she was cute. She wore a yellow dress and had pink hair with yellow wings.
Rarity was a purple haired girl with sapphire blue eyes and a white horn. She would blush when she would look at my arms and chest. She wore a black tux coat with a purple blouse and a black skirt.
Of course there was twilight, spike, applejack and pinkie pie. Then the girl farthest from me caught my eye.
She had rainbow hair and tail, and her choice of clothes was strange. She wore a small light blue shirt with a light blue sleeveless jacket and a pair of light blue short shorts. She had long perfectly tanned and built legs. Her arms were adorned with tattoos and scars. I could tell she fucked up a lot. Her wings were well built and her chest was the same. I could see a six pack under the shirt.
“Wait a second I saw you when I was flying around town.” She said and stood.
“Yes, I think I was. Remington shot gun is the name. Hunting ladies is my game.” I said with a smirk.
“Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m a lesbian.” She said. As if I haven’t heard that before.
“Five bucks says I can turn you straight and begging for more.” I said and laid down five bucks. I pulled a cigar out of my pocket and put it in my mouth.
“No smoking please.” Twilight said. I took the cigar out of my mouth and did a biting motion with my teeth.
“So what's your cutie mark for just wondering?" Twilight asked. I looked at her and smiled.
"It's for my talent which is hunting." I said.
"Hunting what is the question.” Apple jack said.
“Depends. I might hunt down you.” I said and pointed to rarity who blushed madly.
“Are you always this much of a flirt?” Rainbow asked.
“Maybe. Why? Is it turning you on?” I asked smirking.
“Hell no.” Rainbow answered a little too quickly.
“You don’t need to be afraid to ow.” I yelled and looked behind me. A gator was chewing on my tail. Shit! I flew up and raced out of the room yelling. Rainbow tackled me and they finally explained.
“He has no teeth he’s fine.” Twilight said. I frowned at her and unbuttoned my shirt. I pulled the shirt off and showed a good sized gator bite over my back and stomach.
“Holy mother fucker. That is one huge ass bastard.” Rainbow yelled.
“It looked worst than it felt. I was a chew toy for that bastard for about an hour. He slung me around, I survived four death rolls, and a set of teeth. I was in coma for a week.” I said and buttoned up my shirt. We chatted about each other for an hour than each of us left. Soon it was just me applejack, Rainbow, and twilight. Applejack, Rainbow dash and I soon left to the SAA. I asked to use the shower and they happily obliged. I got my shower and thought about how beautiful rain dash was. I finished my shower and walked to the barn in a towel. On my way to the barn, I saw Rainbow dash on apple jacks lap making out with her.
“Oh fuck.” I said. They separated and looked at me. Rainbow got off of apple jack and they both scooted away from each other.
“I didn’t see anything.” I said and walked out of the house. I ran to the barn and got dressed. A little later apple jack called me to the door of the barn. I flew down and saw both applejack and Rainbow dash blushing and looking down. Applejack had a hicky on her neck and Rainbow’s hair was messed up.
“Listen if it is about what I saw. It’s fine I have a gay sister and my moms are lesbians.” I said and they sighed in relief.
“We thought you were against lesbians.” Applejack said.
“I’m not against them. But when I saw Eva and her girlfriend in bed that kinda gave me issues.” I said.
“Well sorry you had to see that.” Rainbow said.
“It’s fine.” I said and headed to the hay bail. I organized square bails to make a bed and covered them with a blanket. I lay down and waited for sleep to take me.
Morning
I woke up on the ground with a dog French kissing me.
“Oh fuck. Gross.” I yelled.
“Get up time to work.” Big Mac said.
“Fine.” I said and got dressed. I flew out and looked for applejack. I found her waving from the top of a tree. I flew beside the tree and grabbed her waist. I landed and let her go.
“So what are we doing?” I asked.
“Well it is apple cider month and we are making tons of apple cider. Today we need to rebuilder the apple juice and check the barrels for rot. Then we need to make the cider for tomorrow. I called all my friends to help. I will be picking the apples with Fluttershy. Rainbow is checking the barrels. Twilight is checking the apples with granny smith. Big Mac is going to power the apple juicer by using the truck. Rarity is filling the barrels with spike. Pinkie pie is stacking them with apple bloom. What can you do?” She asked as we walked to the barn.
“I’ll show you later.” I said. The gang all made it to the barn and we built the apple juicer.
“Now I’ll show you.” I said. I pulled a large stripped cable from my bag and unbuttoned my shirt. I took it off and wrapped the cable around my chest.
“Is the juicer electric powered?” I asked. Apple jack nodded.
“Yo big Mac can you hook up the two sets of cables. One to the juicer and the other to the truck?” I asked.
“Eeyup.” He said. He hooked up the cords and it hooked one of the jumper cables to the cable around my chest and was about to do the same with the other but rainbow dash slapped my hand.
“Hey, no suicide.” She yelled.
“I did this before.” I said and set it down I hooked up one of the jumper cables on the juicer to the coils and grabbed the two jumper cables on the ground. The machine came to life. They started to work and we finished about four hours later.
“You now we should make a show about what you can do.” Spike said. I still had the cable around me as and lay on the hay.
“Here is another trick.” I said and tensed. Everyone’s hair stood on end and stuck out everywhere.
“Wow. That’s cool.” Rainbow said.
“Yep doesn’t matter how much hair jell you wear it always stands on end.” I said and relaxed.
“Ok this is freaking me out how did you do that with the electricity coursing through your veins? I mean a normal man would die.” Twilight said.
“The answer is in the question.” I said smirking.
“You’re not normal.” She realized.
“Exactly, my father was an experiment for a new breed of super soldier. You know make them faster, stronger, tougher, and smarter. But the experiment went wrong. The test subjects became more animal when adrenaline got into their system. Most were executed but they saw him as the runt of the litter. He soon met my mom and they had me and my sister. Then my mom find out about what he does now. She divorced him and married my other mom. I can conduct electricity, my skin turns black as coal and becomes as hard as chain mail, I can see heart beats, I eat flesh and bones, I have increased strength, speed, toughness, and smarts, and my teeth produces a special venom that melts steel. I was a freak for a long part of my life but my sister helped me get through it. Here you can see my skin right now.” I said and they gathered round. I pulled back the cable and showed black scales.
“Their scales not skin.” Twilight said touching them. The scales soon went into the skin.
“Wow. So did your sister have this ability?” Twilight said.
“As far as she said, no. we never kept secrets. I was her protector from all things bad. When I found bruises on her. I interrogated her to find out. I found out it was her boyfriend. I nearly beat him to pulp with my increased strength. She stopped me but she never said she had my ability.” I said.
“What does she look like? Pinkie could possibly identify her.” Twilight said.
“She’s dead you won’t find her.” I said and stood. I unwrapped the cable and put it in my bag. I grabbed my shirt from outside and put it on.
“So let’s go to town and have something to eat I’m paying.” Rarity said. We got to town and we sat outside of a steak joint. I leaned back in my chair and had my arm over the back of the chair. I surveyed the citizen of Ponyville. I soon saw someone who looked like my sister. She was at a motorcycle stand. She had silver tail and hair. She was about the same age as me. She had a set of very short shorts, thigh high boots, and a blue short sleeved shirt. Her hair was braided and to her mid thigh. Her wings were iridescent. She had a silver Harley speed motorcycle.
“Pinkie pie, who is that?” I asked pointing to the girl.
“Her name is Kate silver. She woke up at the hospital not remembering anything except what she liked. Why want her to eat with us?” Pinkie said. I wasn’t not paying attention.
“Sure. Why not?” AJ said.
“Just to be friendly, nothing else.” Rainbow said.
“Right. Just to be friendly.” AJ said. Pinkie pie got up and walked to her. They talked some and they both started to walk back.
“What did pinkie pie say to her?” I asked.
“She asked if Kate wanted to eat with us.” Twilight said.
“WHAT?! No she can’t.” I said.
“And why can’t she?” A voice said. I turned around and saw Kate. Fuck.
“Uh…because we don’t have another seat.” I said.
“Uh huh.” She said. She pulled up another chair and sat beside me.
“Ok, Eva.” I said and she looked at me weird.
“Who’s Eva?” She asked.
“No one just a slip of the tongue.” I said and my fork looked very interesting all of a sudden.
“So my name is Kate.” She said and stuck her hand out to shake.
“Remington shotgun is my name.” I said.
“Yeah and he’s a big flirt.” Apple jack said and they all laughed.
“A flirt huh? I like that in people. But too bad I’m gay or else I might kiss you.” She said and turned my face to her.
“I don’t mind. My sister was too.” I said.
“What is she like?” She said.
“Well she has mid thigh silver hair. She has midnight blue eyes, thigh high boots, blue short sleeved shirt, and very short shorts.” I said.
“Me? Listen boy I have no siblings. I don’t know you and I…I…I really look like your sister?” She asked.
“yes and you have a burn scar covering your back, when your hair is unbraided it drags on the ground, you’re a lesbian since you were 13, you had a girlfriend but now she is straight, and you have a tattoo you don’t remember getting, around your ankle of a anchor and rope. How would I know that?” I said.
“Pinkie.” She said.
“I didn’t tell him that much.” She said.
“Fine, ask me something I wouldn’t.” I said.
“My favorite food?” She asked.
“You prefer chicken over any other food.” I said.
“We’ll go to let you talk.” Twilight said.
“Ok.” Kate said and looked down. She soon looked up and punched my arm.
“ow. What was that for?” I asked.
“you left me at the hospital.” She said really pissed off.
“you were declared dead how should I have known?” I said.
“let's take a walk.” She said.
“I have a question. Have you ever had weird things you can do?” I asked.
“like?” She asked.
“do you have a knife?” I asked.
“yeah.” She said and I pulled her into an alleyway.
“stab me.” I said.
“what I am not going to kill you.” She said.
“just do it.”
“ok.” She said and pulled out a Winchester and slashed my stomach. I lifted my shirt and should my black scales.
“yeah I have something like that. I can drain people’s energy by touch and use certain powers and abilities. I can teleport, use telekinesis, phase through solid objects, three metal claws come out of my knuckles, and I can make things go boom with one touch.” She said and we walked back to the diner.
We soon came back to the diner and what I saw made me laugh my ass off. Two women I knew all too well were looking at the motorcycle like a bomb. It was Luna and Celestia.
“Hey guys what’s up missed me?” I asked them.
“We actually need to speak with you about that.” Celestia said.
“What did my sister do?” I said and crossed my arms.
“Why are you assuming I did anything?” Kate asked.
“Well because with your record with other girls I should be scared.” I said.
“Okay that’s enough what about your record.” She said.
“I still have my virginity thank you very much.” I said.
“To much info bro.” She said.
“And you after you lost yours you were bouncing from one girl to another. Do you know how many nights I spent awake and sleeping during class?”
“Why were you awake? Getting pointers?” She asked.
“Well with all the moaning and screaming of names I don’t think I would ever sleep that night.” I said and Celestia cleared her throat.
“Sorry but we need to speak with Remington.” Luna said. They pulled me aside and we sat at the diner.
“So? What is it?” I said.
“We need to marry in order for us to keep our title or else it goes to blue blood.” Celestia said.
“That yeller bellied coward.” I said.
“Yes. But I have one week to find someone to marry or else you know. We have looked at everyone and you seem to be the best match for me. Then after I marry you, Luna has a week to find someone.” Celestia said
“So when is the wedding?”
“The end of the week. Your sister can come too.” Celestia said.
“She is better off not coming she might kill blue blood.” I said and they got a real evil grin.
“You don’t really like him do you?” I asked.
“Wait till you meet him.” Luna said.
“Well I need to tell my friends. I will be back in an hour.” I said and they nodded. I walked to my sister and told her about the situation.
“An arranged marriage? But you only seventeen.” She said.
“It’s better than having blueblood be prince.” I said.
“Fine. But I am coming too.” She said.
“Well you are my sister aren’t you?” I said.
“Yes!” She cheered. I flew to the barn and found the gang sitting inside the barn.
“So what happened?” Twilight asked.
“I am marrying the princess and Kate is my sister.” I said.
“WHAT?!” They all yelled in unison.
“Hey not so loud. Yes I am marrying Celestia. Kate is my sister.” I said.
“We leave you alone for an hour and suddenly you asked her to marry you?” Spike said.
“No. it is an arranged marriage. That or blue blood gets the crown.” I said.
“That two timing jerk.” Rarity yelled.
“I’ll kill him.” Twilight said.
“My sister might do it for you.” I said. I gathered my thing and hugged all of my friends.
“It was nice knowing you while we could.” Twilight said.
“I’ll be coming back.”
“I’m gonna miss you.” Flutter shy said.
“Same to you. Fluttershy.” I said.
“See around scaly.” Apple jack said.
“These scales might save your butt some day.” I said.
“See ya narrow electric butt.” Rainbow said.
“See ya rainbow ass.” I said playfully.
“I still haven’t thrown you a party.” Pinkie said.
“You can plan my wedding.” I said.
“When you come back I am going to make a suit for you.” Rarity said.
“I’ll be expecting it.” I said.
“No hug a hand shake is good.” Spike said and I squeezed his hand real hard.
“That’s a proper hand shake boy.” I said. I turned to big Mac and he smiled. He gave me a cigar box.
“There Cubin.” He said.
“Thanks.” I said and took them.
“I’ll seeing guys later and you are all invited to the wedding just wear whatever.” I said.
“Bye.” They all said. I waved to them and I took to the skies. I soon saw Celestia and Luna and landed by them.
“Shall we go?” I asked.
“Yes we shall.” Celestia said. We took to the skies and I got an idea. I flew above Celestia and wrapped my arms around her stomach.
“Stop flapping.” I said and she stopped. I started to glide in the air. I could see five heartbeats.
“Celestia when I tell you to I want you to fly to the castle and stay there. Start flapping when I let you go.” I said and let her go. She flew to her sister and I flew to mine.
“We’re being followed.” I said and she nodded.
“Now Celestia!” I yelled and they bolted to the castle. I turned mid air and punched the follower. He was short and had bug wings. Holes adorned his limbs. Adrenaline rushed into my system and I lunged at him. I grabbed him and started to eat his neck. I lifted him by his legs and carried him to the castle. The adrenaline left my system when we reached the castle. I dragged the creature to the throne room. I reached the room and dropped him on the rug and kicked his neck, breaking it.
“It is a changeling scout.” Luna said.
“Whoops.” I said sarcastically.
“Put the guards on high alert.” Lune told a man with blue hair and had a captain of the royal guards patch on his shoulder.
“And who might you be, peasant?” A guy with a rich snob look and blue hair with a prince suit.
“Hmm. Let me see here. Rich snob look, prince suit, attitude that says your better than everyone else. I am guessing you are blueblood nice to meet you.” I said and held out my hand to him. He put his hand in mine and I squeezed hard.
“What never learned how to shake a real man’s hand?” I said. I grinned as he tried to keep a straight face.
“Also I am going to be your new uncle.” I said. I could hear him whimper.
“We’ll have so much fun. We will wrestle and box.” I said.
“Yes indeed.” He said and pulled his hand away. I walked around and ran into a bright haired woman. She was royalty I could see.
“I am so sorry. I was not looking as to where I was going.” She said.
“No it was mine I was too busy thinking of ways to torture blueblood after I marry Celestia.” I said.
“My brother? Please do. He has been an ass to me most of my life.” She said.
“I’ll be sure he pays for every single thing he did.” I said. The guard walked up to us and kissed her on the head.
“Hey cadence I see you met Remington. My name is Shining Armor.” He said. He had a horn and a ring on it.
“Was you’re the same as mine and Celestia’s?” I asked.
“What?” They asked.
“Your marriage. Was it arranged or did you two genuinely love each other?” I asked.
“It was genuine love.” She said.
“That’s always nice well I need to unpack my things.” I said and walked to find Celestia. I walked and walked till I got fed up and went to a balcony. I lit a cigarette and sat there. I looked to the town below and thought about my choices these past two days. One day, I was a fucking country freak and the next I am going to be a royal freak. Once Celestia finds out I am a freak, she’ll so have me executed. Then my sister will join me. Funny how this time she will definitely die this time or maybe not. She might keep us as slaves and make us be soldiers. Of course I might be her boy toy. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked up. It was Celestia. I put out my cigarette in my hand and stood. I grabbed my bag and started to fly. She grabbed my hand and looked at scales.
“Better you find out sooner than later.” I said. I pulled my hand away and gave her a knife.
“If you don’t want to be with me then kill me.” I said and lifted my shirt.
“Why kill a victim?” She said and grabbed my hand. She placed the knife in my hand and I put it away.
“A victim? Of what being a freak? Oh yeah I am a real victim.” I said.
“You are a victim of another’s choice. You may call yourself such names but I see a being who is a victim of another’s choice. You are different on the outside but I see a caring, loving man on the inside.” She said. I breathed in and showed my beast face. It was morphed and reshaped to a beast. My eyes were darker, my jaw was more of a snout, and my ears were more pointed.
“Would you love me for a beast that could eat you alive?” I asked.
“Beast, man or ghost. I will love you.” She said.
“Thank you.” She said.
Kate p.o.v.
I sat on a balcony having a flash of my life before I forgot.
“Rem. Quit calling yourself that.” I said to him.
“Look at me. I have skin as hard as chain mail, I can see heartbeats, I am a freak.” He said sobbing and pacing. He sat in the middle of the bed and I scooted over and hugged him.
“I just want to be normal. Why did I have to be a freak? I have been good. I have kept my grades up, I never smoked, drank or cussed, I always went to church but why did I have to become a freak?” He asked. His head was against my chest and was hugging my stomach. I rocked side to side and hummed a song. Our parents never comforted us in times of need. They were to stressed as is. We soon fell asleep in that position.
“Hey Kate you okay?” Rem asked. Taking me out of my flash.
“I just saw part of my past.” I said.
“what part?” he asked.
“you where ranting about how it was unfair about you being a beast and we fell asleep on my bed.” I said.
