Assassin's creed 3: Pathway to peace

Chapter nine: At the Gala

It had been at least seven days since Conner and Rainbow Dash had returned to each other from what they were doing while one of them had been away and as they swapped their own stories on what they did that that day. Rainbow Dash always loved it when Conner does something good for others, even when the odds aren't in his favor he can make it out that trouble with every part of his body in tact. As time had gone by the couple began to fall more in love with one another as they find more time to find the perfect day for a date.

One night at Rainbow Dash's house:

That night, Conner was busy teaching Rainbow Dash on how to fight with melee weapons, and Rainbow Dash was using the dual tomahawks that Conner bought for her from the blacksmith a few days later. They placed some practice dummies made out of clouds out in the practice room for something like this and Rainbow Dash hits the dummies with a good amount of force in the chest, head, neck, and the arms and this impressed Conner a lot. "Remember that must not let you're feeling get in the way of being a true Assassin," Conner said to sky blue Pegasus that he loved, "For you to be a true Assassin, you must let go of you're feelings in order to strike you're targets with in the shadows of Princess Luna's night."

"I will remember that, Conner," Rainbow Dash said to Conner.

Conner smiled, "Maybe we should stop for today, Rainbow Dash?" he asked to her, "Just so we can get some rest tomorrow."

"Sure Conner, I'am getting tired already," Rainbow Dash replied as she hung up her Assassin robes and stored her dual tomahawks away and walked up stairs with Conner to their bed, but as they were walking Rainbow Dash remembered something, "Hey Conner, I forgot to tell you earlier that the Grand Galloping Gala is in three days and we and the others are invited."

"The Grand Galloping Gala?" Conner asked, "What's the Grand Galloping Gala exactly?"

"The Grand Galloping Gala is party that takes place in Canterlot once every year," Rainbow Dash replied to Conner as they got under the covers of their bed, "But it is much like the balls you humans have in you're own world, but the high class Unicorn ponies there have no sense of our perspective of fun and they don't really have a sense of humor."

"I see," Conner said to her, "This does sound interesting, I'm looking forward to the Gala."

"So 'am I Conner, so 'am I," Rainbow Dash said, "Well goodnight Conner, I love you."

"I love you too," Conner said as they fell asleep in each other's warmth.

Three days later:

To was the night of the Grand Galloping Gala and the Mane six were already getting their old Gala clothes on while Conner was trying on a set of Assassin's robes that Rarity made for him and liked the robes. Rarity charmed her way through two stallions to get them to pull the carriage. When the Mane six and Conner got into the Spike was out side of the carriage as the driver with the two stallions pulled the carriage towards Canterlot. "I can not wait for to get there," Pinkie Pie said to the others with excitement, "Princess Celestia said that today's Grand Galloping Gala will be much more different, right?" she asked Twilight.

"Yeah she did say that when she sent that letter to me," Twilight replied to Pinkie Pie, "I'm sure the Princess is as good as her word, Pinkie Pie."

"I can not wait to see what the Grand Galloping Gala has to offer," Conner said with some confidence in his voice, "Maybe when we're done with whatever we might be doing, you and I could head to the ball room and we could dance together Rainbow Dash."

"Perhaps we can, Conner," Rainbow Dash nodded in response.

The carriage then suddenly stopped as Conner asked Spike, "Why have we stopped Spike?"

"We're here," Spike replied to Conner as he opened the carriage door to let the others out and he saw the girls come out first with their beautiful Gala dresses and finally Conner came out wearing his new Assassin's robes for the Gala which was a beautiful purple color with a red stripe running down the edges of the cape part of the robes, "Wow Conner, you and the girls look incredible," he said to Conner with a stunned look on his face.

"Thanks Spike," Conner said as he, Spike, and the Mane six went inside Canterlot castle, "Shall we?" he asked Rainbow Dash with the manners of a gentlemen.

Rainbow Dash giggled a little as she relied to Conner, "We shall," as they both followed the others into the castle.

When they made it to the stair way of the castle, they saw Princess Celestia standing between the front ends of the two stair cases ready to greet the visitors to the Gala, and she soon saw Conner, Spike, and the Mane six walking towards her. "It's great to see you eight could finally make it," she said to them.

"Hello Princess," Twilight greeted her mentor as the others bowed before the Princess, "This has to be much better than last Gala, right Princess?"

"Of course Twilight," Princess Celestia replied to her faithful student as Conner, Spike, and the rest of the Mane six got back up on all four hooves, "Now go on and have some fun," she said to them as Conner and Rainbow Dash left to go see the Wonderblots while the others went off to find other stuff to do.

With Conner and Rainbow Dash:

When Conner and Rainbow Dash made it to the area of the castle where the Wonderbolts were suppose to be, Rainbow saw the lead Wonderbolt, Spitfire, she said to her coltfriend, "There's Spitfire, Conner, come on," as she pulled Conner towards Spitfire to see her. "Hey Spitfire," she greeted the the yellow Pegasus pony int the bright blue jumpsuit, "It's great to see you again."

"Hello there Rainbow Dash," Spitfire said to the sky blue Pegasus, "It's great to see you too," as she soon saw Conner next to Rainbow Dash, "Who's you're new friend Rainbow Dash?"

"My name is Conner Kenway, Miss Spitfire," Conner replied for Rainbow Dash, "It's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh."

"Likewise, Mr. Kenway," Spitfire said to the Assassin as she and Conner shook hooves.

"He's actually my new coltfriend, Spitfire," Rainbow Dash said to the Wonderbolt as Spitfire looked at both of them with a complete and utter shock on her face.

"Well, this is very surprising, I never knew that you have a coltfriend," Spitfire said to Rainbow Dash as she looked at the cute couple, "You two do make a cute couple."

Rainbow Dash blushed at Spitfire's comment as she said to her, "Thanks Spitfire," as she and Conner saw the rest of the Wonderbolts Fleetfoot, Soarin, and Misty Fly walk toward her and Conner, "Conner this is Fleetfoot, Soarin, and Misty Fly," she said to her coltfriend as he walked towards the other Wonderbolts to greet them.

"It is great to meet the rest of the Wonderbolts in the flesh," Conner said to the other three Wonderbolts as he shook each of their hooves, "Rainbow Dash has told me a lot about all you," as he looked at Fleetfoot, "My name is Conner Kenway and I'm Rainbow Dash's coltfriend."

"It is a pleasure to meet you too, Conner," Fleetfoot said to Conner, "We were hoping that Rainbow Dash would find a coltfriend for her, but we never thought that it would be a stallion such as you."

Rainbow Dash soon remembered something as she said to her coltfriend, "Conner, it's almost time for us to go to the ball room for our dance," as Conner turned to look at Rainbow Dash with a shocked look on his face.

"Oh right, I forgot about that," Conner said as she and Conner raced towards the ball room so they can have a chance to dance together in what might be the greatest night of their lives until they see Rarity arguing with Princess Celestia's nephew Prince Blueblood.

"You have disgraced not just myself Blueblood, but you also disgraced yourself," Rarity yelled at the male unicorn, "I see no other reason to even date you excuse for a Canterlot pony."

"How dare you," Prince Blueblood said to Rarity furiously, "You do not deserve to be a Canterlot pony!" as he pushed Rarity to the ground. Not only was Conner and Rainbow Dash was seeing this, the rest of the Mane six and Spike were also seeing this and this also infuriated him when he first saw this, but he was careful not to let the others see this.

"RARITY!" Twilight shouted as she, the rest of the Mane six, Spike, and Conner gathered around the white female unicorn, "Are you alright?" she asked her friend.

"I'm alright can we please head into the ball room now?" Rarity asked her friends as she struggled to get back up on her hooves.

"Sure, Rarity," Twilight replied to her as all, but Conner, Rainbow Dash, and Spike went inside the ball room.

"You three coming?" Applejack asked the them.

"We'll catch up with you," Spike replied to Applejack as Applejack followed the others inside the ball room.

"So what do need us for, Spike?" Rainbow Dash asked the little dragon.

"Because there's a spoiled prince I want to talk to," Spike replied to her as he walked towards Blueblood.

"Hold on there, Spike," Conner said as he stopped the baby dragon, "There's a big problem there and that problem is that Blueblood is the nephew of the Princess so we can't let you do this, but at least not alone." Spike nodded as he and Conner walked towards Prince Blueblood to talk with him.

"Hey Prince Blue-jerk," Spike said to Blueblood as he pulled on his tail to get his attention.

Blueblood turned to see Spike and Conner staring him down as he asked them, "Do I know you two?"

"No, but my little pal here has a bone to pick with you," Conner replied to Blueblood.

"How dare you speak to Rarity like that," Spike cuts in, "She does deserve to be a Canterlot pony, but she is right, you are also a disgrace to Princes everywhere, and if I was taking her to the Gala I would treat her like she belongs here in Canterlot as a real gentlecolt."

"How dare you two," Blueblood said with furious look in his face, "But I don't why you're saying this to me, but if you ask me..."

"No pony's asking you Blueblood," Conner stopped the selfish Prince from saying those last few words.

"We suggest that you go and apologize to Rarity before this argument get much more ugly," Spike demanded to the spoiled Prince.

"Do you think I'am scared of you two?" he asked the two of them, "I can handle you both."

"My little friend here can't fight you, but I can fight you," Conner said bravely as he prepared for another fight.

"No need Conner," Spike stopped his friend before Conner could make an attack on Blueblood as he turned back to the selfish Prince and Conner restrained himself, "Perhaps we could tell Princess Celestia about what you did to Rarity, remember, you're aunt?" he asked Blueblood with his arms crossed, "You know that Rarity is a friends of Princess Celestia and also that she is one of the Elements of Harmony."

"You would do that, would you?" Blueblood asked nervously.

"Well, that depends, are you going to apologize to Rarity about what you did to her?" Spike asked him.

"Fine," Blueblood replied in utter defeat, "I will apologize to Miss Rarity when I see her again, well played Dragon, you too Assassin."

"We know," Spike said with pride in his voice.

"Well Spike, I'm impressed on what you two did there," Rainbow Dash said to the baby dragon, "I'm sure Rarity would be so proud of you right now if she was here and I'm also proud of you Conner."

"Thanks Rainbow Dash," Spike said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, thanks Rainbow Dash," Conner said as he kissed his marefriend on the lips.

Unknown to Spike, Conner, Rainbow Dash, and Blueblood, Rarity was listening to the whole thing from behind a bush and she was shocked and yet heart warmed on what Spike said about her. "I can't believe it, Spike just stood up for me against Blueblood," Rarity quietly said to her self as she came out of the bush she was hiding behind, "He could have gotten himself into trouble for that. He really does have a crush on me, doesn't he?" She then went inside the ball room to join up with the others as she was thinking about all those loving words Spike had said about her.

As Rarity joined the others, Conner turned to Rainbow Dash as he held out his hoof and asked her, "May I have this dance Rainbow Dash?"

"Of course you can, Conner," Rainbow Dash said as they went out on the dance floor to dance together. They did the same dance they did back at the Ponyville Dance as spun around to their right eight times with a hoof touching the other's, then they switched hooves as they spun around to their left another eight times.

"I love you Rainbow Dash," Conner said to Rainbow Dash as they continued to dance together under the music that was playing by the orchestra that was on top of the stage.

"I love you too Conner," Rainbow Dash said to her coltfriend.

When the dancing was over, Conner and Rainbow Dash went outside to see the beautiful night sky that Princess Luna had created that night as they sat down together watching the stars shine brightly. "Rainbow Dash, can tell you something?" Conner asked her.

"Sure Conner," Rainbow Dash replied to him, "What is it?"

"We have known each other for at least a few months now, but I feel like there more of a connection to each other," Conner explained.

"I have that feeling too, Conner, but why are telling me this?" Rainbow Dash asked him.

"Well there's something that I must ask," Conner said as he managed to get down on one knee as he pulled out a purple box and opened it only to reveal a silver ring with three small diamonds that had small rode attached around the center part.

"Conner?" Rainbow Dash asked in complete shock.

"Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?" Conner asked as he saw the shocked look on Rainbow Dash's face and he soon thought that she would say no for sure.

"Yes, yes I will," Rainbow Dash replied with tears of happiness in her eyes. Conner managed to put the necklace/ring around her neck as Rainbow Dash jumped in his arms with tears of joy in their eyes.
