The Black Flames

Getting Aquianted with Royalty

My brain went into overdrive when I saw the god-level alicorn. Why was she here? Why did she want me alone?

Did I do something wrong? Did she know all about humans? Was this even Celestia, or a twisted replacement? What if she was Molestia?! I have to get out of here! HOW THE FUCK DO I RUN FROM A FRICKIN ALICORN!!!!!!!

"Are you all right!" I heard her ask, she looked at me with concern apparent on her face. I finally began to calm down. I was just freaking out is all. No one expects to be givin a personal moment with a god, never mind royalty. I pull up the courage to speak, using all of the manners I could think of.

"My apoligies your highness," I began, kneeling down, " I am fine. Just a little suprised is all. One, does not expect to be visited solely by a pony of such high rank as yourself. I am honered to be in your presence."

"Please, David your embarassing me!" She said, stifling a couple giggles, "Formalities such as those are not needed. I just wanted t have a quick chat, mainly about where you came from. From what I could find in Twilight's letters, you were not very descriptive about who you are and where you came from. As co-ruler of Equestria, this is information I believe is important for me to know."

"Umm...Uh...." I didn't know what to say. Should I tell her the truth or lie? No, if she asks I will have to deliver. She can't just let some strange unknown creature run around with her subjects. I'll tell her, but only what I deem necessary she should know.

"Well then let's start from the beginning." I say, standing up. "I am human, as I am sure Twilight had mentioned. My race is an advanced species that have created technoligies far more advanced then your world's. This is only because we lack something your world is abudant in, Magic. Without magic life was harsh, till science rose and eliminated all but the worst of our hardships. However a harsh, 'everyman for himself', lifestyle had made us into a greedy race. We would constantly steal from and hurt eachother to get what we wanted. Some smarter people were able to rise above this greed, and attempted to enlighten the rest of our race. Sadly as some were smart enough to think better, there were others who  used the intelligence they had to fool others into doing their bidding. Soon these people saw what others had, and decided that they wanted that as well, be it money or land. They sent there own people to do the dirty work themselves. It was the beginning of war. In order to protect themselves, people assembled into their own armies and fought back. Some times the bad guys won, sometimes the good guys won. But eventually you start to forget who were the bad guys and good guys. People were easy to manipulate if you know how. My people have been at war for the last decade, under the banner of spreading equality to the rest of the world by defeating 'enemies of freedom', but who knows if this is really true? What if it was just a cover to seize yet another resource? I don't know...."

I faded out of my long rant. I  had let what was suppose to be a quick explanation of the human race turn into a vent of my frustrations toward my own kind. That was embarrassing.

"Sorry, for goin-"

"Don't be." Celestia cut me off. "I am impressed that you were this honest with me. You have told me many negative things about humans, however I can tell that these things don't apply to you."

"You can't be sure of that." I say darkly.

"Oh, but I can. You said yourself that some humans were intelligent enough to see the world's evil, and chose to rise above it. I believe you are one of those people. I also believe that your world is not as bad as you make it seem. Surely for people such as you to arise, there must be more good than you say. I now know I can trust you to avoid trouble, should it arise. I, as Princess of Equestria, bestow upon you the citizenship you rightfully deserve."

I could barely believe it. Not even one day and I was already givin a true spot in Equestria. Screw going home, this place had welcomed me with open arms and hearts. How could I ever leave?

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be returning to my palace to retire."

"What? Surely you can stay and party a little?"

"I have eluded my guards long enough, they will be searching for me and I do not wish to make them look long."

"I won't hear it! Your gonna have fun whether you want to or not!"

I then committed what could easily be treason, not thirty seconds after becoming fully applicable to pony law. I grabbed her around the middle, lifted her to my shoulders, and walked her straight into the party. If that wasn't treason, then obviously no one has ever attempted to lay hands on royalty. I may have indirectly made a new law. I'm so dead.

I kicked open the door and threw her in.  I ignored the shocked looks on everypony's faces and grabbed a roll ofducktape, as well as a large, empty bowl. Time to kill two birds with one stone. Human culture and tech in one spicy enchilada. I taped my i-phone on the inside wall of the bowl and mounted the improvised amp on a table. i turned of the record player and turned to look at the bewildered faces of everypony in the barn. Twilight, however, was actually giving me the death stare, probably because I man-handled her mentor and idol.

"I am about to show you all an example of human style fun. Enjoy!" I then played my party playlist. Which started with the best party starter. I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be be a good night, don't you?

"Let's get this party rocking"

As the song plays I grab Celestia's hoof and began to dance. Her face was full of shock, but it slowly turned to joy as I lead her through the steps of all my moves. As soon as she warmed up to the party everyone else joined in to the festivities. As the song played out its last lines, I pulled the Princess into a spin and dropped her like a bomb, catching her at the last second. The song ended, and all I could here was Celestia's and my breathing. I stared into her light magneta eyes, basking in their shine. Then I heard giggles, and I realized how close my face was to her"s. I pulled her onto her own hooves and stared in the direction of the giggles. I locked eyes with the offending mare.

"You think dancing with me is so fun to watch, wait till ya find yourself in my arms as well. Then we'll see who's laughing."

The expression on her face was priceless. I played the next song and started the only dance that could be done with beats like this.

"Mares and Gentlecolts, who wants to shuffle?"

I watched as David dove into another of his strange dances and lead the whole party into a frenzy of dancing ponies. I just watched from one of the tables staring in awe at the splendor of his movements. I hadn't expected him to do all this when we first met. He had seemed so calm and collected. Then he does something as crazy as force royalty against her own will. No one has done such a thing to an alicorn, ever. It was unheard of.

Yet he had done it. He had done it, seemingly, without a thought of the possible consequences. He had acted, so boldly and rashly that I couldn't help but, well, stare in wonder at this unique creature. His actions brought a kind of, excitement, that no one has given to me in a long time. I almost didn't recognise it. But I have lived to long to not know this feeling. I was falling for him. Not even a full hour has passed and this, human, has taken my heart. I knew not the how long humans last, but I feel that if I let love run its course as I have before, it will omly lead to pain.

"Are you okay Princess?" I heard from my faithful student.

"I am fine Twilight, your new friend just, interests, me is all."

Time for a little fun of my own.

"Time for a little Karoke!"

I turned on my favorites playlist to replace the pop. With a press of play I set a beat in motion.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those kicks were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown

They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down

It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part

From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those kicks were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung

He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on

We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand

The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those kicks were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they did it with expert timing

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those kicks were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

Make sure you have expert timing

Kung Fu Fighting, Had to be Fast as Lighting

The song played off. The welcome sound of appluase hit my ears.

"Thank you, thank you." I say, "Your all to kind! I would like to say-"

CRAAACK!!!!!!

I look up to see a huge pinata falling on top of me. Instinctivly I throw my hands in the air as if to catch the monster. I knew better, and prepared to be crushed. Only it never came. I look up again. The over-stuffed, pony-sized pinata was frozen in place. I would have put it off to a unicorn's magic if it weren't for one thing. It was shrouded in a black aura, the item itself completly visible but surrounded in a halo of light-absorbing shadow. Only two other items in the room were glowing in such a way. My own two hands.

"I....I...I can use MAGIC!!!!"
