Few minutes after arrival on Earth.

You know the gut feeling that someone, somewhere is watching you? Yeah, increase the feeling about a few hundred-folds, because I’m pretty sure Every human being in Town Square is looking at me, even Celestia herself.

The cop lowers his weapon in front of us with a little frown, “Seriously? ‘Take us our leader’?” he spoke with a bit of distaste in his tone.

I sighed and hung my head a little. I took out both my arms towards him, “Just get us out’a here and question us, please. I’m pretty sure my parents would like to know how I’m doing, sir.” I said; a little ashamed of myself. I looked at Celestia to my left and motioned my hands a little to do what I was doing. She nods once and did the same; held out her hands and stood up straight with a small smile.

The police put his Taser back in his holster, reached back and took out a pair of shinning cuffs from his belt. He walked up to me and swiftly put them on me with locking clicks. A woman cuffs Celestia behind me herself.

The man gets behind me as he placed a hand on my right shoulder and starts nudging me towards the cars, “Time to get going, son.” He said.

“Of course, sir.” I simply answered as I let him lead me.

“U-um… Marcus?” I looked back at Celestia and saw the woman was taking her to another car, the look on her face turning to confusion and fear as the woman gently pushed her.

“Uh-sir?” I asked as I continued to watch Celetia being led away. “Can my friend be with me? She’s new around here, and I’m her only close friend around and-”

“She’ll be fine, son. No need to panic over nothing.” He said as he continued to nudge me. I looked ahead and saw one of the policemen opening the car door for me.

“No, it’s not fine, sir! She’ll really not from here!” I started to plead and started to push against the man, scrapping my shoes onto the concrete ground. I looked back and saw Celestia was starting to struggle against the woman, looking at me pleadingly.

“Son,” the policeman starts pushing me a little harder, “If you keep this up, I won’t be able to put in a good word for you.” He nods at the other policeman.

I looked at his teammate as he grabbed my legs, both men lifting me over to the car, “Hey!” I yelled and started to struggle against their grip.

“ENOUGH!” The two men froze as the car door slammed shut loudly, causing a crack to form on his glass window. Suddenly, the whole care lifts off the road and rose past our heads as the mass of metal with tiers whined and creaked from under its own weight. We looked back and saw Celestia lifting her right arm in the air with glowing, white eyes, glaring at the two men holding me, the chains of her puffs dangled loosely from both her wrists. I looked around a little more and saw she had all the police cars in the air, the crowd stepping away from the floating vehicles and the goddess herself. “I SHALL NOT STAND BY WHILE YOU TREAT MY COMPANION WITH SUCH DISRESPECT!” she roared in anger, slowly twists her raised hand, causing all the police cars around us to flip upside down. “I AM PRINCESS CELESTIA, CO-RULER OF EQUESTRIA, AND I DEMAND YOU PUT MY FRIEND DOWN AND TREAT US WITH RESPECT!” she demanded and looked at all the cops surrounding us, seemingly searching who might defy her. Thankfully, no one stepped in, though, most of them did grabbed onto the handle of the Tasers that rested on their belts.

The two policemen gently put me down on my feet, and the same policeman who cuffed me took out a key and showed it to me.

I shook my head, “No thanks, sir. All she wants is to be respected like she’s one of us. And besides, we need to go to the Police Station for some questioning and answering. Why take these off?” I said while jiggling my cuffs and started walking over to angered mare. When I got up to her, she still had her hand lifted in the air and looked around us at all the policeman and women. “Celestia.” I said and snapped my fingers to get her attention. She looked at me with a softer expression, “Can you put the cars down, please? They’re just doing their job, and we don’t want any trouble.” I asked with a small, hopefully assuring smile.

Her shoulders slowly slumped down with a shameful expression, her pants slowing down as well and slowly flipped the cars back upright and lowered them on the road. Her eyes stopped glowing and looked at me sadly, “I’m sorry, Marcus…” She apologized and looked down at the pavement shamefully.

I walked up to her and held one of her hands with my own. What? My hands are cuffed together, I can’t hug her, so I have to try something else, okay. “It’s okay, Celestia. Now come on, the faster we’re done with this, the faster we go back doing our own things.” She smiles at me and turned to get in the police car, I followed right behind. Before I got in, I looked back at the crowd with a smile, and waved my cuffed hands around, “Sorry for scaring anyone of you! My friend just got a little scarred, that’s all.” I said and stepped in the care while a cop closed the door for me.

The car ride was a little cramped with Celestia being a little big, but the look of wonder and awe on her face while she looked out the car window was worth it. It was like seeing Sweetie Belle going in the Canterlot Castle all over again. Which brought a smile to my face, might I add.

When we arrived and the two policemen got out to get us out. Celestia looked at me, her eyes and body language screaming worry. I rubbed her shoulder and wore my assuring smile, “Don’t worry, Celestia, I’m right here. If things get hairy, or if I see trouble, I’ll warn you. But just in case I don’t see anything, put up your shield when we’re alone.” The car door on her side opens, as well as the door on my own side.

With a smile of her own, we both get ourselves out of the cramped car. I stretch out my limbs for a moment, popping and cracking a few of my joints with a satisfying sigh. I nod at the officer with a little smile and walked around the car to stand beside Celestia.

As we walk towards the large building, I glanced up my charge with my eyes, and saw her body was a little tense with anxiety. “Try and relax, Celestia. We’re safe here.” I whispered.

She shakily nodded at me and started taking deep, calming breaths, seemingly, and gradually calming down with each breath. Just as we reached the entrance, she looked a little more calm then she was a few seconds ago.

The Officer opens the double door for us. Celestia leads and ducked her head from the doorframe; and I right behind her, trying my best not to stare at her tight looking leather pants around her ass area.

The waiting room of the Police Station wasn’t really packed, just at least a dozen sitting around, either waiting to be called up, or waiting for someone in particular getting out of trouble or is in trouble. When we entered, though, the whole place just stopped what they were doing and starred at us curiously in dead silence, except for the few TVs showing new weather reports and news of random what-not.

“This way, please.” The policeman walked up from behind me and started leading us to another set of double doors. I nod my head for Celestia to follow me as we followed the uniformed man in a casual pace. With a bit of walking and a few twists and turns, and more ducking for Celestia, we finally reach a door the policeman opened for us. “Wait in here. Someone will be with you two in a while.” With a nod we step in the blank room, a large, single window resting right in front of us, as well as a table with four, simple chairs. “Need anything while you wait?” he asked.

I turned to look at him, “Some water and maybe some Donuts? Its been forever since I last had those.” I replied with a smile. With a nod, he closed the door with a metallic, locking ‘Click!’. I turned around to see Celestia looking around the empty room with an adorable curiosity. I chuckled with a little shake of my head and sat myself down on one of the chairs.

“Are we going to be interrogated?” she asked and leaned down to look at her reflection of the window, brushing off some dust and dirt from her face and smoothing out her furry cheek. As she did, she snapped her fingers and a wave of golden aura washed across her whole body, making, hopefully as I informed her, an invisible shield.

“Maybe.” I simply answered and looked at the rather large mirror myself. “Do you know what this thing is?” I asked her.

She looks at me with a confused look, “A mirror of course.” She answered and looked back at it, checking out her face, “And I was just wondering. Why do you need such big mirrors for? Is it to check your body for imperfections?” she asked and started checking out her own body, fixing a few imperfections, here and there.

I looked at her, “Don’t be so sure of yourself, Celestia.” I leaned back on my chair and rubbed my face with my cuffed hands, holding back a tired yawn, “That’s a one-way mirror, or two-way if the lighting is switched.” I point at the mirror, “There’s another room right behind that mirror you’re looking yourself at, and people might be watching us right now. If there are any, that is.” I answered.

Her cheeks instantly flushed in embarrassment. She slowly backs away from the mirror and sat down to my left, trying to stay out of sight of the mirror like there was a monster or a stalker waiting and watching right behind the mirror, as she held onto my arm like a teddy bear. I gently chuckled at her, as she stared at the mirror through the crook of my neck, crouching to try and hide herself behind me. I started caressing her head, pulling back her ears against her head.

“Don’t worry, Celestia.” and gently pat her cheek, “No one’s going to hurt you.” I said as the door to the room reopens, a uniformed woman standing at the doorway, holding onto a plate of different Donuts on one hand and a plastic jog of water and foam cups on the other. She raised an eyebrow at me and Celestia. I chuckled, “She’s wary of the mirror.” I said and briefly gestured to the mirror. The woman ‘Oh’d with a little nod and walked in to put the things on the table.

When Celestia calmed down enough, I asked her to help herself with the Donuts, and as soon as she bit into one, within ten seconds, the poor, helpless beings were devoured by the mare. Bits and pieces flew all over the table and the room, but the jug of still clean water. The only Donut that was left was on my hand I’ve only taken one bite out of, and she eyed it like a begging dog, drooling a little around her messy lips. With a sigh, I showed it to her and she devoured it right out of my hands, almost biting my little fingers off.

It took at least half an hour for Agents to arrive with a short man that held a little bag at hand, just enough time to clean up the carnage Celestia created. The three stopped for a moment to look at us, inspecting and eyeing our faces and what we were wearing. The one of the Agents wore casual, green military, training clothing and had pretty ripped muscles like he went to the gym every day, while the other wore a sleek, black uniform, and had his hair pulled back smooth.

I smiled with a little wave, “Good after, gentlemen.” I greeted kindly.

“Yes. Good afternoon.” Celestia greeted and moved around her seat, making the poor chair creak, straining from her weight.

“Hm… good afternoon to, you too.” The more casual guy replied and sat across from us, while the other followed right after. The short, glassed man walked around Celestia, opened up his bag on the table and started sticking things on my head and chest area. “Just ignore the little guy.” The casual man spoke with a wave of a hand and lifted up his shoes onto the table. Celestia stared at the things sticking on me and poked one that stuck on my forehead. “Curious?” he asked.

Celestia just simply nodded, “We do not have just advanced technology in our world.” She simply said.

“Well, that aside,” the more official looking man finally spoke up and leaned on the table, resting his elbows onto it and clasping his hands together, “I’m Special Agent Withers.” He said as the little man with the bag left the room without a word.

“And I’m Special Agent Kaller. But you can just call me, Kal.” The other said next with a small smile with crossed arms, bulging out his muscles unintentionally.

Withers snorted at his partner and looked at me; “You’re Marcus Murray, I presume?” he said to me and waved his fingers for me to speak.

I nod, “Yes, I am.”

They both than moved their gaze at the Princess, “And… you are?” Kal points a finger at her with a more questioning look.

Celestia sits up straighter with a small smile, “I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria.” She answered happily.

The two men looked at me with raised eyebrows, “Yes, you’re looking at a tall Princess.” I said, further confusing the two.

Kal looked right back at her, “Hm… never in my life have I ever thought I meet a real life, Royal.” He took out a small note book from his back pocket and crossed something out, “Taking that out of my Bucket List.” He said.

Withers looked at his friend, “Haven’t you met the President, already?” he asked.

“July twenty-four, two-thousand-thirteen. Received a metal of Valor for my time in the Military.” He said and put back his little note book in his pocket with a small shake of his head, “He may be the President of the U.S., but Obama ain’t no Royal like Queen Elizabeth.” He chuckled, but quickly stopped himself and taking back his note book on hand, crossing out something else, “Alien’s out as well… hmm…” he starts flipping through the small pages, much to dismay of his partner.

Withers shook his head with a sigh and looked back at us, “Okay then, let’s start this.” He looked at me as his friend continued to look through his notes with a frown and mumbled to himself, “Let’s start to the very beginning of how You got yourself lost on an alien planet and how you managed to get back with her.” He points a pen at Celestia but kept his eyes on me. He blinked and looked at her, “You are a female, right?” he asked, unsure of himself.

Celestia blinked at him and looked down at her melons, “Yes, I’m quite sure I am a female. Why else would I have, these?” she cupped her breasts and jiggled them a little, causing me and Withers to blush a little but Kal.

“Hot woman foundling herself in front of me like no one’s looking… Check!” Kal checked out his pen with a small smile.

It took an hour in a half to explain my stay in Equestria, and three, long hours of answering their every question. Some about how the ‘Ponies’ reacted at my presence and whatnot about their culture, and some personal for both me and Celestia, though not very many.

Withers looked at Celestia, surprisingly enough, he and his partner were still in their same positions since the start of this whole questioning; Withers leaning on the table with his elbows on the blank surface while Kal leaned back on his chair with his boots on the table. By now, my butt was sore from sitting on the same, damn chair for hours, but when I looked at Celestia beside me, she was totally fine. Must be countless years of practice from sitting on her throne for millennia or so.

“So, Celestia.” Withers spoke, as Kal blew out a pink bubble from his lips and popped it, smiling without a care in the world. “Can you perform your… ‘Magic’, to us?” he asked.

Not a second later, one of the two foam cups floated up as it gently glowed a golden hue. The same quickly goes to the jug of water and floated up just a tad higher than the cup and started slowly pouring out water onto the cup. She set the jug back down and floated the cup over to Withers. Both men raised an eyebrow at that and Withers slowly reached up and grabbed the cup with the tips of his fingers and the magical grasp quickly evaporated away.

Kal whistled, “Neat.” He said, took out his little book and crossed something out yet again.

Withers took a quick sip of water and set the cup down, “Can you weapon-ize your abilities?’” he asked.

“Yes, ranging from grasping heavy objects, force magic, electrocute in low quantities, super heat a target objects and etcetera.” She answered simply. She then looked up at the lights above, “As well as an E.M.P. to knock out your electrical systems.” She raised a hand as her thumb and middle finger started to glow.

My eyes brew wide, and before I could stop her, with a snap of her fingers, a wave of golden ring spread out from her hand and the light right above flickered off, darkening the room in to pitch black. Before anything else happened, and to my relief, Celestia lights up a ball of light from the palm of her hand with a small smile on her face.

“As far as I can see, your kind souly depends on electricity. If you’re thinking about starting a war for whatever reason…” she looked at the mirror on the wall and dimmed her small ball of light, and there stood at the other side of the wall, a few people looking around with confused faces, “Think twice before you do.” She smiled back at the two men, their eyes wide with either fear or shock. With a mischievous smile, she turned out her glowing orb, “Afraid of the dark, my friends?” her voice rang out in an almost malicious tone, like she was getting ready to make her move.

The lights quickly turned themselves back on, and the two men in front of us had faces of fear, their eyes wide and backed up against the wall.

Celestia giggled as I sighed with a light shake of my head, “Don’t worry, my human Agents. I will not harm you unless you decide otherwise.” She said and giggled once more.

Kal took out his note book, stopped at a page, and quietly read to himself, “Scared shitless by something other than a firefight? Check.”

With a sigh of relief, the Agents gave us a break to let us stretch a little, though Kal was ordered to keep an eye on us. We walk into the waiting room with my un-cuffed, free hands and when I looked at a woman sitting nearby with her, I guess, teenage son, something clicked in my head.

I turned to our escort, “Hey, Kal?”

“What’chu have in mind, kid?” he replied with a small smile.

“Have you informed my parents about my whereabouts, yet? I’d like to see them.” I asked.

He opened his mouth to answer happily, but stopped and raised an eyebrow, looking past me. He points a finger, “I… think they know, now…” he said.

I stared at him for a moment in confusion and turned to what he was pointing at. I looked around the almost empty room, but when I saw Celestia starring at something with wide eyes and blushing cheeks, I looked up and felt my own blush forming as I stared at the TV screen.

“Believe it or not, we are definitely not alone in the universe. Aliens has found us, or did young man find them first?” a woman on the screen said with a small smirk as a screen shot of me and Celestia accidentally kissing showed right beside her head, titling, “Alien Love”.

I started looking at every TV monitor in the room and saw pretty much the same thing, a news anchorman or woman talking about the videos of me and Celestia kissing or her showing off her power, and each with a different title; “Man Conquers the Queen of Mars?”, “Sensational Newest Couple takes to the Stars!”, or as a short video of me trying to calm down Celestia and a second video right beside it showed me and Celestia kissing “Young man Tames the Alien Overlord with the power of Love!”. Nonetheless, it was all but pure embarrassment for me, and I’m pretty sure I was turning into a sentient, living-breathing apple.

“Sooo…” I and Celestia turned to look at Kal, our eyes wide in shock, “Are, you two…?” he points a finger at us both with a questioning look.

My right eye twitches in irritation, “No! It was an accident!” I exploded, Celestia quickly joining me as Kal jumped back in surprise.

“We are only friends, Special Agent Kal! And nothing more!” she yelled at the startled man, both our faces flushed from embarrassment.

“Okay-okay! I got it!” he started to try and clean out his ears, holding up a hand to try and stop us from advancing on him, “You didn’t need to yell, I can hear just fine.” He said.

“Ugh…” I looked at Celestia, crestfallen, “How in the world are we going to fix this?” she asked more to herself them me.

“Um…” we both looked back at Kal, seeing him looking out the main entrance, “Well, you both might get a chance on fixing that actually… you got visitors.” We quickly scurried over to him, but stopped dead on our tracks as a huge crowd circled the building, countless reporters trying to gain access but the policeman and women stopped them with wooden gates and pushing them back.

I gulped with a pale face, “Oh dear, God.” I whispered to myself. After a moment of watching the living ocean of humans, Kal spoke up.

“Yeah, that actually might be a good idea.” We looked at him like he just went mad. He frowned a little, “Hey, don’t look at me like that. I hate reporter just as much as you both do, and think about. The faster you answer their questions, the faster the crowd will disperse so we could do our job a little easier.” He said with crossed arms.

I sighed in defeat, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” I answered and looked back at Celestia, “You in, Princess?” I asked.

“I guess.” She answered.

The moment I opened the door and got out, we were bombarded with flashing lights and people yelling at us. I raised a hand, “Good afternoon, everyone!” I greeted, but kept my eyes squinted as the flashing lights continued. I walked down the short steps and fully opened my eyes as the flashing decreased. The crowd’s many voices rang into my ears, not recognizing a single word they said. I raised both my hands, “Please quiet down!” I yelled, but not one acknowledged me. I looked around the crowd and continued to try and calm them down, but to no avail. I looked back at Celestia, and saw she was looking at something with a motherly concerned face. I looked to where she was looking and saw a little girl had her hands clamped to her ears, being nudged from to and fro, left to right by the adults, the beginnings of tears showing onto her eyes. It was heart ranching to see a sweet looking girl in that state, but one look from Celestia, and I knew hellfire would be released out to the crowd. So, like any sane man could do, I mimicked the little girl by clamping my ears.

Celestia glared angrily and looked at the crowd in a blind rage, “SILENCE!!!” she yelled with her deafening Canterlot voice.

The whole area went dead silent right after she yelled, all eyes looking at the tall Princess in both shock and fear. Celestia took a few breaths to calm herself down, and once she did, she strolled on over to the border line of crowds with grace and crouched down with a gentle, motherly smile.

“Hello, little one.” She spoke to the teary eyed girl in a soothing tone and slowly reached out a hand for her, “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you. I only yelled to stop the yelling from the grown-ups.” The little girl stared at her in awe and wiped her wet cheek with her sleeve and sniffled.

Celestia smiled a little wider once she reached out and laid her small hand onto the mare’s larger one. Celestia gently grasped her hand, and used her magic to pull away the gates so she could walk through. Once she went through with a few sniffles, Celestia gently picked her up and rose up, wiping away the remaining tears the girl had.

The little girl smiled at her with another sniffle and touched her chest, rubbing her hand against her pure white coat, “You’re very soft like teddy” she spoke in the sweetest tone, which I’m pretty sure made everyone hearts melt and striking guilt on all of them for scarring the girl.

Celestia giggled, “Yes I am soft. Thank you. What’s your name?” she asked and nuzzled the girl’s nose, earning a little giggle.

“Jenny.” she answered happily.

Celestia’s smile widened, “Nice to meet you, Jenny. I’m Princess Celestia, but you can call me Tia.” She replied.

Jenny’s eyes widen in awe and made a little ‘O’ with her mouth, “A real Princess?” she asked. Celestia nodded, “Wow… I wish I could be a Princess.” She said.

Celestia made a throaty giggle and moved a bit of Jenny’s hair away from her face, “I’m sure your mom and dad treat you like their little Princess, Jenny. And believe me, being a Princess is a lot of work. And it does get tiring after a while.”

Jenny made another ‘O’ and nodded in understanding. She than played around with her fingers for a moment before she looked back up at Celestia, “Um… are you an Angel?” she asked.

Celestia gently caressed Jenny’s head, “I guess I am.” She answered, earning a ‘Wow’ from the little girl. “Now, Jenny. Do you know where your mother or father are?” she asked.

Jenny looked down sadly and lightly shook her head, “I got lost in the crowd.” She sniffled and wiped her eyes.

“Jenny!? Where are you!?” we all looked within the ocean of people, and the crowd made a path for the frantic looking woman.

Jenny looked back with a bright face and quickly smiled, “Mommy!” she yelled happily.

The woman looked their way with hopeful eyes. Celestia crouched back down and put Jenny down, using her magic to move apart the gates so Jenny could go to her mother. Both mother and daughter ran to one another and collided with the woman wrapping her arms around her child tightly, a big smile plastered onto her face.

“I thought I never see you again.” Jenny whimpered.

“Shh-shh… it’s okay, sweetie. Mommy’s got you.” The woman spoke sweet words to her daughter and looked up at Celestia and me as I walked up next to my friend to get a better look at the scene. The woman smiled, “Thank you so much.” She spoke as she got up with her daughter in her arms.

Celestia nodded, “It’s my job to help those in need.” She replied. The woman nod at her and started walking away with her daughter, Jenny looked at Celestia with a smile and waved goodbye at her. Celestia smiled a little wider and waved back in kind.

I pat Celestia on the back, “Nice to see you, making a new friend, Princess.” I said.

“M-Marcus?” a woman’s voice stuttered behind me. And immediately the voice sent out alarms in my head like a reactor meltdown.

My eyes slowly widen and turned to look at the person who said my name, only for me stare at her a little more in surprise as my mind tried to process the information and roaring emotions. But once my brain recognized the short, aging woman standing against the short gate, I started smiling from ear to ear with a small gap of my lips at the woman who brought me to the world.

I quickly sprinted over to the woman’s open arms as she smiled with teary cheeks. We both hugged each other so hard, I thought we were going to be stuck together like highly strong magnets, or merge with one another like mixing play putty together. I didn’t know if the new wet spot on my collar was caused by me or my mother, more likely by both of us but damn, did it feel good to see and hug my mother again.

It was weird, though. One moment we were outside having a moment, the next, we were back inside the Police Station. Just try to imagine the shear confusion me and my mother wore while we were inside, trying to figure out how in the world we were inside. But then the answer came in through the main doors of the build. Celestia walked over to us with Kal following right behind.

“Did you?” I weakly pointed up at the tall mare. She simply smiled and nodded. “Oh… thanks?” I said, not really certain how to say to this.

“Well, it looked like you needed some privacy with your mother. I can’t imagine how happy you both were outside.” She then looked at my mother with a motherly smile of her own and drew out her hand. “I’m Princess Celestia.” she introduced herself.

At last, my mother came out of her stupor with a little realization and quickly took Celestia’s hand, “Nice to meet you, Princess. My name’s, Betty.” She then looked at both of us, and I instantly knew what went through her mind before she pointed, “A-are you both-”

“No, Ma. She’s a friend. She helped me get back here, and what’s on the news right now was an accident. It’s not really a five-star ride going through the portal.” I answered.

“Oh.” She said, and I noticed the tiniest hint of disappointment in her voice, but brightened up and hugged me aggressively with a little shack, “I’m so glad my baby’s okay!” She spoke in an adoring tone, which left me blushing a little, while Celestia ‘tried’ to stifle a giggle.

Once my mother smothered me with a few hugs and a few more kisses, she let me go. “So, how’s Bo doing?” I asked, remembering my one and only, loyal, kind friend, “How’s she holding up?”

My mother slumped a little and played around with her fingers with a sadder expression, “Well, actually she’s not doing too well. I don’t really know how, but she might have figured out why I and your father were so frantic about you going missing. Maybe she heard us calling your name through talking to Police and put the pieces together? I don’t know, but she’s not doing any better.” she looked at me, “Pour dear can’t even look at me or your father when we call her name. I think you both stayed far apart long enough, dear.” She finished in a solemn tone.

I looked down at the floor in shame, regretting even more about leaving my friend, but looked back up at her, “How about dad? Where’s he?” I asked.

“Oh, he’s at work right now, but I think he’ll come by pretty soon. I called him when I saw you on TV.” She answered with a small smile.

“I’m sorry to interrupt,” we all looked at Kal standing behind Celestia, “but Withers just spoke to the CIA, they’ll be coming by tomorrow to speak with you and the Princess.” He points up at my friend. “And I’m sorry to pop your bobble, but you can’t go home just yet, Marcus. We have a few more questions to ask and you’ll be living in an apartment for a couple days.” He said.

“Okay. What about Celestia?” I asked. The mare nodded.

“Well… can you get between the two worlds easily?” he asked and she nodded. “Well, I guess you can go back for the night, but get back here early in the morning. We having a lot of things to talk about.” He said.

Celestia smiled and bowed her head. “I’ll come back first light, thank you, Agent Kal.” She said with a small smile. She then turned to me, “Want to pass a message for your friends?” she asked.

With a quick, “Oh!” I nodded and went to the nearest desk, asking for a pen and paper. I quickly scribbled down a message, folded it up and ran back to the little group. “That should do.” I said and showed the small, folded piece of paper.

She grabbed it and put it in her pocket, “I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Marcus, and hopefully you as well, Betty.” He said. My mother nod in agreement. Celestia smiled at the three of us as her horn started to glow and a moment later, a portal formed itself right behind her, light wind now going around the room. “Have a nice evening, everyone.” She said before turning to the portal and jumping in, curling up in a ball.

When the portal closed, my mother turned to me and looked me up and down with a raised eyebrow, “I have to say, you look handsome in the new clothing, dear. Where did you get it?” she asked and felt out the texture of my jacket.

I smiled, “A close friend made it for me for helping out.” I answered happily.

She smirked with a raised eyebrow, the look on her face telling me what was now to come. “Tell me about her, dear.” She asked.

I looked at her, “How do you know she’s a ‘her’?” I asked, confused at my mother’s sudden knowledge.

She pointed at my jacket with a smug smile and wiggle of her finger. I looked down and saw Rarity’s handkerchief pocking out of the breast pocket, a bit of her bright red lipstick sticking out. I felt my cheeks heat up just a tad, and looked back up at my grinning mother.

“Sooo… how is your… ‘friend’, sweetie?” she leaned in, her eyes piercing through me like a spear, she now had me in her grasp and will not simply let this down. Without me knowing, she swiftly took out the piece of cloth and looked at it with a bigger smile. “Oh, she must be really nice and generous to lend you her personal handkerchief.” She looked at me and smirked once again. How she knew that the cloth was Rarity’s personal position was beyond me, but damn she was good at picking things up and making things more awkward, just like a proper, caring mother should.

Author's Note

Good day/night, everyone!
Any thoughts about this new chapter? Good? Bad? Sorta-good? Hellishly-terrible in all forms?
Anyways, comment if you like, have a nice day/night and good reading, everyone.

Me: (Looking out to the crowded streets from Marcus's apartment window, and whistled) Dude, you literally have countless reporters, fan-girls, and haters right outside the doorstep.
Mark: (Sighing) Don't remind me.
Me: (Look back at him with a smile as he sat on the edge of his single bed) Come on, buddy, don't be like that. I mean you already have a lovely girl with a pure white coat to look forward to, right?
Mark: (Smiles and looks up at me) Yeah, she is lovely. (He falls back on the bed with a happy sigh) And that kiss...
Me: (Walks over an sat down next to him, patting him on the leg) Yeah... Celestia's pretty amazing... (I snickered)
Mark: (Shoots up from his bed and glared daggers at me with his murderous gaze, as I tried my best not to bust my sides)
