My Guardian Angel
A Private Date
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sun was setting in the land of mystical ponies. From Garry's left he could hear the slow beat of Pinkie's cart wooden wheels. Grinding against the soft gravel road along with her hooves making a gentle clopping. A smooth breeze was in the air. It's soft tickle of the wind lifting away Garry's fear of what may have happen between him and Twilight's ex lover. On the surface it seems the two mares were friends from what he gathered from the stories about the two of them. This would seems false beyond all compare with the new fact he received from his strange companion that he was thankful in a strange way the she was with him.
The two of them were close to the Library, Twilights humble home. Garry was nervous still about what he was planning. Anxiety plaguing his thought. Luckily, Pinkie was there to gave him a pep talk. "Come on Garry Berry, you can do this! This champagne and your Aunty Pinkie will make sure nothin' will go wrong! Twilight really RREEEAAAaaallly likes you, and you really, RRRREEEAAAAAaaalllly like her." She smiled as he unhitched herself from her cart just outside the main door to the Library. Garry pondered about what Pinkie said, looking up at the sky as if it would give him feedback. His train of thought was interrupted as he heard the sound what appeared to be to him as gears turning. Garry look over at the source of the sound. Once again, another surprise from Pinkie as her cart shape shifted into a good size cannon. Garry raised an eyebrow at the new contraption.
"Um Pinkie, I hope you're not planning on completely blow a hole through the side of her home with that thing," Garry observed.
"Why would I do that? Twilight didn't ask me to blow anything up. No way. Unlike Applejack, she ask me to take down her old barn with this baby," she patted her hoof on the cannon. "Though she was kinda mad at me at me when the barn was covered in cake mix! I totally forgot that I switch out the alterity and..."
Garry lost himself in thought, drowning out Pinkie's as background noise. He thought of the recurring theme that he wasn't himself, but at the same time was himself. That however, was not his biggest concern on the same train of thought. He was genuine concerned about what Rainbow Dash has said to him.
"I don't care if Celestia says your harmless or that Twilight did a spell of hers to make you what you are." Rainbow Dash's words coldy echo in Garry's mind.
This single sentence was causing him so much grief. What should mean by that? Was he changed somehow, someway? All of these thoughts seem bug him deeply. He can't suspected that Twilight did something to him? Sure she was a pony of science, but she wouldn't break any ethical codes about cruel and inhumane treatment of aliens. It doesn't sound like her. However, Garry has only known her for about five months now, so anything is fair game. Garry hoped that she was not some sort of pony to will manipulate others for personal gain. This was troublesome for Garry as another thought enter his wild collage of thoughts. Maybe their was no laws about alien. Maybe, Twilight is that type of pony would do such a thing. However, he can't be sure. He just read during the walk back to Twilight's that there is other sentient beings in this strange land. So there has to be laws about 'aliens' having visiting privileges to this place. All of these thoughts sunk in deeper and deeper into his mind. Completely oblivious to his surroundings.
He was in a deep trance until Pinkie made a loud clop sound with her hooves. "...And that how I come up with the idea for my cupcakes!" she jumped ecstatically into the air followed by a slow, feather like fall of a decent. Garry snap out of his trance of thought and look over to Pinkie with a questionable look as she fell slowly, delicately to the gravel of Equestria. "Anyway," she got on all fours, "time to get this party started!"
With no hesitation Pinkie valiantly push her cannon into Twilights door, knocking it wide open. Garry quickly shuffled as best as he could through the small frame of Twilight's home, trying to stop Pinkie of doing whatever she was about to do.
"Pinkie what are you..." Garry started but was stop mid sentence as he saw the most physically impossible thing that anybody or anypony could ever seen. There standing right in front of him Pinkie was stuffing the bottles of champagne, along with another thing such as chairs, candles, and an empty water vase, into the barrel of the cannon. But thats that was not the impossible feat Garry was witnessing. What was the impossible was that the ammunition seem to have a rubbery property. Being sucked in the cannon like it was a vacuum. What came next was even more earth shattering for Garry
"AAAAAAAAAaaaannnd Fire!" Pinkie pushed the button of her cannon. The noise of party kazoos and the sight streamers along with what the result of the discharged of the 'ammunition.' A table shot out being placed perfectly in the center of the room. After the table, the bottles seems to be shot and perfectly placed, without shattering, on each end of the table. And finally, the chairs perfect size for Garry and for Twilight seems to be placed perfectly opposite side of each other from the perfectly place table with the candles seems to be perfectly placed in the center of the table already lit.
Garry jaw was agaped, "H-how did you-"
"Sorry! got to go. Good luuuuuuuuuuuuck!" Pinkie interrupted. She then disappeared along with all evidence she was there. Again Garry was at a loss for words. He felt something was in his hands. He look down and the cupcakes were in his hand. He did a quick double take from his pack, to his hand, then back at his pack. He was at a lost for words. How on earth can an earth pony had the ability to break the laws of known physics? He didn't have to think long before diverted his attention somewhere else.
"Garry? Is that you?" Twilight called from upstairs. Garry heard her room door open and walk down the stairs. He turned to face her. "Did you run into Pinkie? That mare really has a strange sense of humor, she sent me this flowers and said it was from-" Twilight came into view using her magic to hold up a single rose the color of Twilight's lavender coat. She stopped and stared blankly at the romantic scene in front of her. "-you..." she completed her sentence awkwardly.
Quick! Say something Garry!
"W-why yes I did run into her," Garry gave a sheepish grin, laughing awkwardly.
Way to make it awkward as ahhh....whats the word I'm looking for.
Twilight raised an eyebrow then noticed the bottles on the table beaming with delight, "Ohmygosh! i-is that apple champagne!"
Garry looked over to the set up then back at Twilight. He gave her a wry smile, "Oh that? I don't know," He sat down in his larger chair set. He gestured to the much smaller seat opposite of him, "maybe we should discover together whether or not this is indeed, apple champagne. Also we could perhaps find out if Pinkie made us this batch of delicious cupcakes?"
Cha-ching! Perfect! Thank you Pinkie Pie! Thankyouthankyou! Garry gave a cheer to himself.
Twilight had an idea of what Garry was trying to attempt, "Oh my Mr. Garry, you know how to treat a girl~" She said in the best mysterious voice she had. Sadly it fell short for Garry, sounding like a statement rather than what was original purpose.
She walked down the stairs. Her tail slightly twitching from left to right at random. She used her magic to place the rose into the empty vase and hopped up in her respected chair. "Shall I do the honors?" Using her magic to pick up a single bottle.
"Be my guest," Garry said to her. Twilight's magic with no effort at all made the bottle gave a loud pop as the cork came off. Twilight took both glasses and poured each other a glass. Okay, so far, so good...
Twilight levitated a glass to Garry. "Why thank you," he graciously took the glass from Twilight. She but the bottle down and continued started to take a sip of her drink.
"Whoa, this is amazing! Where in Equestria did you get this?" Her eyes looking sideways at Garry.
Garry chuckled, "Take a guess."
Twilight to another sip. She smacked her lips and looking up at the ceiling, concentration. "Canterlot Brew an Stew?" Garry shoot his head, smiling. "Hmmm Flim and Flam?" Garry shook his head again. Twilight took another sip. before trying to guess again. "Manehatten Colt Pub?" Garry chuckled again.
"Do you think I could have traveled to to Canterlot or Manehatten in under," Garry looked over to the grandfather clock then back to Twilight, "In four hour period of time?"
Twilight scoffed, "Of course you could of! Your average walking speed is one and a half times faster than an earth pony." Garry look surprised.
"Did you just figured that out just now?" He took a sip of his champagne. Wow this stuff really is good.
"Why yes I did actually!" She chirped. Garry just chuckled once again.
"Anyway, I got this from one of your friends and my co worker." Garry said, voice slightly muffled by his drink before he took a fine squig.
"Applejack made this?" She questioned. Garry nodded. "I didn't know her family made anything else besides cider. I gotta give her my gratitude for this fine drink for tonight."
"Cheers to that," Garry raised his glass.
"Cheers." Both Garry and Twilight clinked glasses.
"MMmm!" she said as he drink her glass, eyes wide open. "I just remembered, I wanted to ask you about your cutie mark."
"Cutie mark?" Garry questioned, putting his glass down.
"Yes your cutie mark on your back The one with pegasus wings." She said pointing at Garry.
"My cutie ma-Oh!" Garry give a quick laughing, knowing what she was referring to. "It's not pegasus wings or a cutie mark. Its a tattoo of a pair of angel wings.
"Angel wings?" she filled her glass back up.
"Yeah they from an angel." Garry explained.
"Is an angel an earth creature?" she ask.
"Well yes and no." Garry leaned back in his chair. Twilight tilted her head in confusion. He elaborated further. "Well, from where I'm from, some of us like to follow a religion. We pray to a deity, name God, and talk about the stories from a book that was written a long long time ago." Twilight leaned a little forward in her chair. "This deity had a special kind of human to carry out duties called an angel."
"What did they look like?" She inquired.
"Well they look like a normal human being, but they had a pair of white wings. Spreading greater there body height."
"Really?" she said sounding intrigued. Garry smiled. He could tell she was extremely interested in this topic.
"Yeah and they had magic of their own." Garry said, throwing the bait out for Twilight. She took it.
"Magic?! What kind of magic!" She commanded to know.
Garry chuckled again, knowing that she would never would have able to resist. "Well, they did thing called Miracles, you know, healing the wounded, give someone guidance, deliver messages from God. That sort of thing." Garry waved his and to dismiss the details. Twilight eyes widen.
"Did they have a horn to cast spells?" She asked excitedly.
"Um no, they just did it with their hands and fingers." Garry responded. Twilight eye lit up.
"Oh wow thats sounds amazing!"
"Well, its just a story, I don't think they are kinda lame." Garry said in a flat tone.
"Then why do you have wings on your back if they are lame." Twilight challenge
"Meh, Its just a reminder of my family." Garry shrugged. Twilight gasped.
"You family was associated with an angel?" Twilight made the conclusion with haste.
Garry shook his head, "No, they were just guards for a church, being called the 'guardian angel' of where they are from. But over time they just called my family clan Angel." Garry paused. "Thats why my last name is Angel."
"Fascinating," Twilight whispered, her cheeks a slight crimson shade. She glanced at the flower for a split second then back at Garry, smiling.
Garry noticed where her eyes darted to. "So um, Twilight," leaning in to take the flower into his hands to inspect it. This flower seemed to look familiar to him. He pick it up and a small tingle went up his arm. "What a lovely flower ah?" He sniffed the flower, smelling like lavender.
Twilight eyes Flash in shock, then her eyes slowly started to water up. "Yeah they are something," She said sappily
Garry flinched at the sudden change in Twilights behavior, "Twilight?" He ask.
Without warning, her horn glowed, making the table move to the side as she jumped into him. He flinched from the surprise as he tumbled backwards.
