Dealing with the Sisters

     Your name is Sgt. Jeffery McCullen. You are in the front lines of the first real battle ever in WWIII. You are in east Germany, fighting with your German allies. You serve for the U.S. army. The year is 2033 and you are 32 years old. Everything is going perfectly. The Russians are retreating, they deserted their ground forces it was all perfect. Too perfect. You then hear a rocket, and look up to see one coming straight at you. At least I'll go out in flames. You thought. The missile hits the ground and you are enveloped in a nuclear blast. Instead of everything going black however, you find yourself in a very clean throne room. You look up to see a white horse you vaguely remember from that kids T.V. show that you liked. What was it... oh yeah! Celestia! She is happily chewing on a piece of cake. Well that clears up whether or not Celestia is addicted to cake! you thought. She looks up from her food, swallows, and calmly says, "How did you get here?"

     "Well you see, um..." You trail off. She nods for you to continue. "I was on the front lines of WWIII in east Germany. I was fighting against the Russians and a nuclear bomb landed right in front of me." She looks shell-shocked. (No pun intended) She probably doesn't know what a nuke is, or where Germany is. As if reading your thoughts, she says,

     "Fighting with you own kind? I remember another like you. Also fighting in Germany, although during WWII. His name was anonymous. Very kind. It's a shame he died. He as one of my best friends." She looked down, as she stuffed another colorful piece of cake in her mouth, on the brink of tears. You gulp.

     "Of w-what?" You stutter. Suddenly a blue mare walks in. You recognise her as princess Luna. She looks at you, then turns back to her sister.

     "Sister, we are out of lemonade. Who is this human whom you summoned?" So they knew what a human was. One more thing not having to explain. "And why does he have a machine gun strapped to his back, along with a pistol on his hip?" How did she- oh yeah. Gamer Luna. Great. Celestia finally found her voice.

     "I did not summon him, he just appeared after a nuclear bomb exploded in front of him. His name is..." She trailed off, realizing you had not told her your name. You snap to attention with a salute.

     "Sgt. Jeffery McCullen of the 501st legion for the U.S. army at you service." You took a bow.

     "To answer your question... Jeffery... Anon died of old age." She said, yet again stuffing her face with cake. "I suppose you'll be stuck in Equestria for the rest of your life, so I'll have Luna show you to your new room." She quick whispered something to Luna, who nodded, then trotted to you.

     "Okay Jeffery, follow me. I think you and I will get along just fine when it comes to war games." She trotted past me, forcing you to follow her to wherever it was she was taking you, using her magic to push you along if you slowed even the slightest bit. "You'll probably receive clothes from the fashion designer from Ponyville, Rarity. You seem to have Anon's exact measurements." She finally stopped at the first room at the very beginning of a dead end hall. She pointed to the far left door with her hoof. "If you need a snack, that's the kitchen." She then pointed to the door on the far right. That is my room. Whenever I summon you to play video games, that's where I'll be." She then pointed to the door directly across the hall. That is Celestia's room," she then turned to the door we were at. "This is where you'll be staying. Any questions, soldier?" I was thinking and was about to say no, when a thought came to mind.

     "The bathroom?" You asked. You really had to go. She pointed to the only visible door in the hall we came from.

     "That door right there, is the washroom, and the bathroom. If you need me, I will be in my room playing video games." she trotted off to her room. You smiled. How cute. You tuned, and went into your room. To your surprise, there was an empty gun rack, a buzzer on a table connected to an outlet, and a badge marked, Col. Anonymous it was his room. You went and placed your badge next to his, saluted, put away your guns and took off your helmet, then landed on the bed with a soft thud. You remembered something very, VERY important. You had to go! You ran as fast as you could to the bathroom, nearly ramming into Celestia in the process. Before it happened, you quickly ducked and rolled. You stood up and burst into the bathroom. Strangely, the stalls and everything were built for a human. You then remembered again that Anon had lived here, so it was made for him.

     After you relieved yourself, you went back to your room, to find several of each kind of article of clothing. Twelve pairs of socks, twelve pairs of shoes, twelve shirts, and twelve pants. You folded them up, and put them on the table next to the buzzer. You then once again flopped back into the bed, wrinkling a parchment. It read,

Dear Sgt. Jeffery McCullen,

after a short debate, Princess Celestia has decided than you, although 32 years of age,

• HOW DID SHE FIGURE THAT OUT - Your mind screamed.

have been adopted by the royal sisters of night and day. You are granted access to anywhere and everything you want. You also have been granted a new title. Prince Jeffery McCullen, protector of Equestria. You have been granted by princess Luna, a enchanted helmet. It shall never break, nor be unable of protecting your cranium. Signed, Prince Shining Armor

Well then. That settles it. There attached to it by wax, is a older looking helmet. You picked it up, and placed it atop your head. This is going to be a looong life. You think. But hey, at least you have family.
