The Return of the Prince?

As Fluttershy and Starbound made there way into Ponyville many colts and mares stopped and stared at the two ponies. Just as Starbound and Fluttershy noticed what was going on, all of the ponies started cheering them on. Starbound was sheepishly smiling and Fluttershy was starting to blush.

"We'll be late if we don't hurry" said Starbound

"I understand" replied Fluttershy

So Starbound and Fluttershy trotted to Twilights castle and at the door was Spike and Twilight.

"I'm so sorry, I need to find a book really quick" said Twilight

"But Twilight I already told you, the book your looking for is in the castle library in the Starswirl The Bearded section" Spike reminded her

"Oh... hehe right" said Twilight emberassed

"In that case lets go before we miss the train to Canterlot" Twilight concluded

"Pardon me but what is a tra-" and before Starbound could continue two mares busted in through Twilights front door and one of them crashing right into Starbound.

"So what's this about Fluttershy having a colt-friend" said Rarity as she looked around the room and finally spotted who she was looking for.

"My My, your friend is... hehe rather handsome Twilight" said Rarity as she fluttered her eye lashes at Starbound

"WHAT'S YOUR NAME? DO YOU LIKE PINK? ARE YOU HERE FOR TWILIGHT? ARE YOU FLUTTERSHY'S SPECIAL SOMEP-" and before Pinkie Pie could continue Twilight used her magic to pick Pinkie up and put her on top of Rarity who was lovestruck by Starbound.

"I'm sorry girls but we are in a hurry, if you want to talk you'll have to come with us to Canterlot" said Twilight as she trotted out the door.

"Hehehehehehehe" giggled Rarity and Pinkie as they stepped out of Twilights castle.

"Oh my" said Starbound and Fluttershy at the same time

As everyone made there way to the train station Pinkie Pie and Rarity kept asking Starbound questions about himself.

"Are you from Ponyville?" asked Rarity

"What's your favorite color" asked Pinkie

"Do you like purple" asked Rarity

"GIRLS! We'll explain everything when we get back but right now it's very important that we get to Canterlot castle to see Princess Celestia" explained Twilight

"OK then, seee ya later" said Pinkie just before she hopped off

"Well alright, I'll see you later handsome" said Rarity as she trotted off

"Soooo... what pray tell does this train look like?" asked Starbound

"Well... there it is now actually" said Twilight as she pointed to the approaching train

As the train pulled into the station Starbound could hardly keep his balance and was also very frightened be the large machine. Spike and Twilight got onto the train first but before Fluttershy could step onto the train she noticed that Starbound was standing behind her almost as if he were hiding.

"What's wrong Starbound" asked Fluttershy

"I... I'm frightened... I do not trust this... this contraption" answered Starbound

"Oh, there is nothing to be afraid of... here, hold my hoof" said Fluttershy

Although Starbound still did not trust the heavy metal machine he felt comforted by Fluttershy's gentle touch.

Once Starbound made it onto the train he sat down and the train took off. He was nervous and on edge the whole time until Fluttershy sat next to him and leaned on him. A little while into the train ride Spike walked over to Starbound and started a very awkward conversation.

"Sooo uh Starbound is it? Do you... uh you know... like Rarity at all? I'm just asking... so uhhh... if you do I don't accidentally steal her from you with my great looks hehe" said Spike avoiding eye contact

"Hmmm, please try to keep quiet young dragon, Fluttershy is napping. Was Rarity the mare with the purple mane?" whispered  Starbound

"Yep that's the one" said Spike quietly

"Hmmm no, she was nice but to be honest my heart is with Fluttershy young dragon" whispered Starbound so as to not wake up Fluttershy

"Oh thank goodness, I-I mean" but before Spike could continue his bumbling

"Shhhh, Spike. He just said Fluttershy was sleeping" said Twilight

"Oh right, sorry" Spike said as he walked back to his seat

"Hey Spike" Starbound called out quietly

"Hm?" Spike said as he turned around

"I won't tell Rarity you like her" whispered Starbound.

"Hehehe thanks" replied Spike

A little while later the train stopped and the gang arrived in Canterlot. After a little while of walking through the castle the gang came upon the princesses grand hall doors.

"I have to go to the castle library and get a book that may help us, I'll be back in a moment just go in without me" said Twilight as she trotted off with Spike following behind her.

"Are you ready?" asked Fluttershy in a saddened voice

"Yes" answered Starbound confidently
