The Four Horsemen of Equestria
Aftermath
Previous ChapterAfter Princess Celestia used her magic to repair everything, clean the place of blood and bodies, she arranged a memorial for Prince Blueblood. It was funny because nopony seemed to care. After that, we stood on a balcony in the castle, overlooking Canterlot. There were hundreds of ponies below, cheering.
"So this is what it feels like to be praised?" Chase asked.
"I don't know, this is my first time" I answered. Princess Celestia has given us the title: The Four Horsemen of Equestria.
"Now all of Equestria will know what you have done for us" she said. "Is there anything you would like?" She asked. Jack grabbed me by my shirt. "Cale, don't have her send me back to Earth! I can't stand my family! They don't pay that much attention to me." Which reminds me. I opened my mouth to say something but Jack continued his rant. "No I'm serious, my dad is at work all day, my mom tends to my baby sister, and my brothers are in college and visits once a month, I can't take this." Behind him were Shining Armor and Princess Cadance.
"Jack?" I asked.
"And I want to say something too.."
"Jack?" I asked again.
"Not now Cale this is important..."
"Jack..." I said impatiently.
"Do you know what's it's like having a family who doesn't..."
"Jack!" I yelled and struck him. I pointed behind him. Jack turned and saw Shining Armor and Princess Cadance.
"What's going on?"
"It's a yes. You wanted a family? Here they are. You have convinced them to adopt you."
"Cale?" He placed a hand on my shoulder. "How did you do it? I just wanna know how you made them agree."
"Oh God..." I groaned. "I need some aspirin right now." Throughout the rest of the day, a big celebration was held. I occasionally took glances at Princess Twilight and Chase under a tree.
2 Months Later
I was walking down the streets of Ponyville. Ahead of me was Spike. He had grown a few inches taller and had wings. "Beautiful morning isn't it?" I asked.
"It sure is" he answered. I turned my head and saw Jack and Fluttershy walking side by side towards me.
"Good morning Cale" he greeted. "You're not going to believe this but... Remy is now a coach to any Pegasus who wish to join the Wonderbolts. First they ask permission from Spitfire, then once they pass a series of tests, she sends them to Remy who trains them, after that, once Spitfire is impressed, they're in!"
"I'm pretty sure that's not how it goes" I said.
"Things change, bud" Remy said, approaching us.
"How does it feel to be the son of royalty?" I asked.
"2 months living under the same roof as them? Pretty damn amazing!" Jack answered.
"Glad you like it." Chase approached us with Princess Twilight.
"Come on guys, its early in the morning, I want to do something!" When he yelled this, he got every pony's attention, even the group called the Mane Six. And they were all shouting with agreement. I stroke my chin.
"Oh you wanna do something, eh?" I asked.
"Cale what are you up to?" Jack asked. I whistled loudly. A portal appeared and my horse galloped out of it. I mounted the horse and grasped its reigns.
"I'm going out for a ride" I said.
"Oh no you don't!" Remy whistled and his horse galloped out of its portal. Remy mounted on his horse.
"I want in on this!" Jack shouted. He and Chase whistled at the same time. Two portals opened and their respective horses galloped out. The two mounted their horses. "So what's the game?" He asked.
"A race."
"A race to where?" Chase asked.
"Take a guess" I said.
"Oh I see where this is going, you want to see her again."
"You're really going to throw that bullet at me?" I asked. He was right actually, I'm doing this as an excuse to see her. "Know what, doesn't matter, because I'm going to win this." I turned to Spike. "Hey buddy, think you can watch the race from the skies? We need a good eye to see who reaches there first."
"Sure thing" Spike said.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold on" Jack said. "I just want to say that in my time of knowing you three, it will be an honor to..." He cried out and urged his horse to gallop to Ponyville Train Station.
"Jack you son of a bitch!" Remy shouted. He flicked the reigns and his horse followed Jack.
"So long, Chase!" I shouted as I urged my horse to gallop forward. Chase was finishing kissing Princess Twilight. Was he like that this whole time?
"Talk to ya later darling" he said with a smile. He urged his horse to gallop after us. Spike took flight and watched from above. Far from us were the citizens of Ponyville cheering us on. Our horses turned to Ponyville Train Station and galloped down the train tracks. None of us will know who will get there first. In the meantime, we'll just focus on the race. Which is good because after all, it is going to take us awhile to reach Canterlot.
