I need a drink

Jack POV,

Have you ever felt so awkward that you basically want to die right on the spot? Well that’s how I felt for the last couple of hours.

Lying in my own bed is fine. Lying in my own bed with 4 alien Princesses beside me is a little……Weird I guess.

'Come on Jack just close your eyes and sleep.' I thought while trying to get away from Celestia’s grasp, only for her to pull me in closer. Jesus! She’s going to break my back if this continues to go on. It had been 2 hours since Celestia dream dragged me over to her, currently she was using me as a Human teddy bear.

'Great and now Twilight has decided to snuggle up to me.' I thought while looking at my chest. Yep there was Twilight nuzzling my chest while mumbling something about Starswill the Bearded.

Alright Jack come on, you’ve been through worse. You had to share a room with bloody Steven for god’s sake. I tried everything to fall asleep. Count sheep’s, think about happy things, everything. But nothing worked.

*sigh* Might as well *yawn*…..Oh my fucking god that was a yawn! Meaning that I’m getting tired. Alright body please work with. I closed my eyes and started counting sheep’s again. I lost count at 481. Eventually I felt myself drift away to the land of dreams.Sweet dreams…..Or fucked nightmares here I come.

Second person POV,

09:00 AM.

Celestia was awoken by the sound of birds cheerping. "Oh sweet Faust! I overslept!" Celestia started to panic. She wanted to get up, only to feel something against her chest.

'What’s this?' Celestia thought while looking at her chest.

"What is the meaning of this!" Celestia shouted; hereby waking everybody else up. (Except for Jack.)

"Wha? What what happened?" A sleepy Cadence asked.

"Why does thou screamed sister? We were in the middle of a pleasant dream." Luna added.

"What’s going on?" A sleepy Twilight asked.

"This." Celestia said while pointing her wing at Jack. "Is what’s going on."

"*gasp* What is Jack doing here?" A very confused Twilight asked.

"And why are you holding him like a pillow auntie?" Cadence asked while lifting up the covers.

"Yes, it appears Jack has sneaked in this room and decided to sleep with thee sister." Luna added.

"Well I will need to have a serious talk with him." Celestia said while nudging Jack with her hoof.

"Steven be careful with that fake tit, you know transvestites don’t like it when you mess with their titties." Jack mumbled.

"Jack.Wake.Up!" Celestia said angrily.

"Steven for the last time, Harry Potter is not a girl." Jack mumbled in response.

"Let us try sister." Luna said while getting out of bed. "JACK THOU WILL WAKE THIS INSTANT OR WE SHALL BANISH THEE TO THE MOON!" Luna shouted in her royal Canterlot voice.

"AAAAAAH Steven what the fuck! I told you to stop playing with the damn……..What the fuck's going on?" Jack asked while wiping away the sleep from his eyes.

"I could ask you the same thing." Celestia replied angrily.

"Huh what do you……Oh shit." Jack said while looking at the position he and Celestia were in. "Eh it’s not what you think."

"Really? Because from the looks of it you" Celestia said while nudging him with her wing "are sleeping with us." She said while pointing her hoof at Cadence, Luna, and Twilight. (Who had currently got out of the bed before Celestia’s outrage by the way.)

"Oh that, now listen this is what happened. You all fell asleep on my couch, so I decided to put you all to bed." Jack said while pointing at the bed. "Then when I had placed Luna in bed as well I started to walk towards the door." Jack said while pointing at the door. "When all of a sudden you" Jack said while pointing his finger at Celestia "decided to drag me in bed with your magic!"

"I would never do such a thing!" Celestia replied.

"Do you honestly think that I would be stupid enough to sleep with the 4 of you? Not to offend you but we barely now each other." Jack said.

"Well….No. But how can I be sure that you are not lying?" Celestia asked while letting go of Jack and getting out of bed.

"Well first I still have my clothes on." Jack said while pointing at his clothes. "Second, I didn’t let you sleep on the couch, and seeing how big my bed is; I decided to place you all in it. And third, Celestia do you remember the dream you had last night?" Jack asked.

"Well kind of. But why do you ask?" Celestia asked.

"Well, sometimes dreams can be so realistic that people start to do the things they do in their dreams in real life. So may I ask, what was your dream about?" Jack asked.

"That is….None of your concern, and I will forgive you for this because it seems you are not the type that is fond of lying am I right?" Celestia asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Yes that is correct." Jack replied while getting out of bed as well.

"*sniff* What is that awful smell?" Luna asked while holding a hoof to her muzzle.

"*sniff* It smells horrible!" Cadence exclaimed while holding a hoof to her muzzle as well.

"I think I’m going to throw up." Twilight added.

"*sniff* I don’t smell…..Ewl Jesus, I smell like shit!" Jack exclaimed.

"That smell is yours?" Cadence asked while stepping away from the bed. The others soon followed her lead.

"Well I haven’t showered in 2 days so….Yeah the smell is mine heheh." Jack replied sheepishly. "I’m gonna go and take a shower if you girls don’t mind."

"Go ahead." Cadence replied.

Jack walked towards the door of and opened it, he stepped outside and walked towards his bathroom. He stepped in and got undressed. Lets just hope curiosity doesn’t get the better of them. Jack thought while putting away his clothes and stepping in the shower. He turned on the shower and the water came flowing out. 'Aah this feels amazing.' Jack thought while grabbing the shampoo.

Meanwhile the 4 Princesses were talking about something very important.

"What do you mean with I am worried about Equestria?" Cadence asked Celestia.

"We are not in Equestria, meaning that I can’t raise and lower the sun, Luna can’t raise and lower the moon, Cadence you won’t be able to rule over The Crystal Empire, and Twilight wouldn't be able to continue her duties as The Princess of Friendship." Celestia explained.

"You’re right, what do we do now!?" Twilight exclaimed while hyperventilating.

"Easy Twiliy, everything is going to be alright." Cadence said while giving her a comfortable hug.

"Sister." Luna whispered.

"What is it Lulu?" Celestia whispered back.

"We could try the teleportation spell again." Luna suggested.

"Maybe, just maybe we can combine our magic and maybe then the teleportation spell will work." Celestia said.

"We hope so sister, for we fear that if we don’t return to Equestria soon; our subjects will live in eternal daylight." Luna said.

"I know sister, I know." Celestia replied.

Their conversation was interrupted by Jack singing a song.

"Is he singing?" Cadence asked.

"It appears he is, and quite frankly he is not bad at it." Luna replied.

"I can’t really hear what he’s singing though." Cadence said while walking towards the door.

"Cadence where are you going?" Twilight asked.

"I’m going to try and hear what he’s singing about." Cadence replied while opening the door with her magic.

"Niece Cadence, We do not think that Jack would appreciate it if thou would just walk in his bathroom." Luna said.

"Well a little listening wouldn’t harm anypony." Cadence replied while walking towards the bedroom the rest of the Princesses soon followed.

"Niece Cadence stop this instance!" Celestia whispered.

When they got closer they could hear Jack singing.

"Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking

When you fall everyone stands

Another day and you've had your fill of sinking

With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold

These hands are meant to hold"

"Wow, that’s not bad at all." Celestia said.

"Yeah it’s like somepony’s emotions are told in this song." Twilight added.

"Sshhh ,We are trying to listen." Luna snapped at them.

"Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along, Move along"

"Move along? What does he mean with move along." Cadence asked.

"I don’t know Cadence, it probably means that something happened to somepony, and that he need to move along." Celestia replied, unsure of what to think of the song.

"So a day when you've lost yourself completely

Could be a night when your life ends

Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving

All the pain held in your

Hands are shaking cold

Your hands are mine to hold"

'Could he be singing this because of what he told me yesterday?' Cadence thought while remembering the conversation she and Jack had.

"He’s dead Cadence." Jack’s words echoed in her mind.

'He must still be devastated about the loss of his brother.' Cadence thought while listening to the rest of the song.

"Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along"

"Is it just me or does this song sound like a really sad one?" Twilight asked.

"No Twilight, there is defiantly a lot of emotion put into this song." Celestia replied while looking at the bathroom door. 'Could it possibly have to do something with him?' Celestia thought.

"When everything is wrong we move along

When everything is wrong, we move along

When all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is goneMove along, move along just to make it through[x3]

Right back what is wrong

We move along"

"Wow his voice is beautiful!" Twilight exclaimed.

"It sure is something." Luna added.

"The poor thing." Cadence said.

"What was that Cadence?" Celestia asked.

"Huh? Oh n-nothing really." Cadence replied.

"Are you sure? You know that if there is something troubling you; you can tell us right." Celestia said.

"I know auntie, it’s just that…..It’s not about me." Cadence admitted.

"Not about you?" Celestia asked.

"Promise me you’ll keep this to yourself." Cadence said.The Princesses looked at her before nodding in agreement.

Cadence then started telling them what Jack had told her yesterday. After the story the Princesses were shocked and felt really bad for him. They didn't know he had lost something so dear to him.

"I can’t imagine what he must be going through." Twilight said while looking at the bathroom door with a sad expression.

"We can imagine it a little, but at least We knew we would see thee again sister." Luna said, giving her sister a hug.

"Yes, it was hard time but we pulled through. For him it is already too late." Celestia said returning the hug.

"He told me not to bring it up again auntie." Cadence said while looking at the door.

"Then we shall not bring it up." Celestia replied.

Cadence gave her aunt a warm smile. Suddenly the singing stopped and the water stopped flowing.

"I believe he is done showering." Luna said.

"Let’s go back to his room before he finds out we heard him singing." Twilight said.

"Yeah, let’s." Cadence said.

With that said they all walked towards Jack’s room.Luckily for them Jack didn’t hear their conversation, he was to busy singing and….Crying.

'Come on Jack! You’re a man! Don’t go and cry over your little brother who has been dead for 4 years! He's dead and there's nothing you can do about it! .......No matter how much you wanted it to be the other way around!' Jack mentally shouted. He wiped away all the tears and regained his composure. His little brothers lat words still echoing in his mind. "Don’t waste the life you have left fighting."

"I’m sorry I didn’t keep that promise little bro." Jack said.

Jack quickly dried himself of and got dressed, he put some hair gel in his hair and walked out of the bathroom. Let’s see what the 4 Princesses have been doing. Jack thought while twisting the doorknob of the door that led to his room.

He opened the door and was greeted with the Princesses eyeing his posters, Halo collection, and photo book.

"Like what you see?" Jack asked snapping them out of their trance.

"Huh? Oh Jack! Uhm yes We were just…..Inspecting thine room." Luna said sheepishly.

"I must say that these pictures of this big green Human are quite…..Intimidating." Celestia said.

"He looks kinda cool." Cadence added.

"Is he a hero or something?" Twilight asked.

"Well he’s a video game character, his name is John but everybody knows him as Master Chief." Jack replied.

"Master Chief huh." Twilight said.

"Video games?" Luna asked.

"Yes Luna video games. They are kind of like the TV, but they are just for entertainment and fun, all video games have a story line, when you progress through the game you get to know more of the story." Jack explained.

"So it’s like the TV shows, but only if you make progress in the game you get to know what the story and game is about." Celestia said.

"Well yes that is basically what a game is." Jack replied.

"Well We must see this video game of yours Jack!" Luna exclaimed.

"Uhm sure Luna, I’d be happy to." Jack replied giving her smile.

"Who is this?" Cadence asked while pointing her hoof at an old picture.

"That is me." Jack said while pointing my finger at the kid with the blond hair. "And that’s my *sigh* little brother."

Cadence looked at Jack with a sad expression on her face.

"Jack I need to tell you something, it’s not because I have to; I just don’t like keeping secrets from anypony." Cadence said.

"Well what is it then?" Jack asked while closing the photo book.

"I told my aunts and Twilight what you told me yesterday." Cadence admitted.Her head hang down and she started to sob?

"Why are you crying Cadence?" Jack asked while getting down on one knee to meet her on eye level.

"You trusted me with your secret and I just spoiled it to my aunts and *sob* Twilight, a-and now you probably hate me for it." Cadence said.

Jack looked at her for a brief moment before putting my arms around her and pulling her in a hug. "Hey I wouldn’t hate you  for that, that would be stupid. And besides Tim would probably kick my ass if I would hate you for it." (or at least try to kick my ass.)

"Tim?" Cadence asked.

"My little brother." Jack replied.

"Tim, that’s a nice name." Cadence said while breaking the hug.

"You really don’t hate me for it?" Cadence asked.

"Nope not one bit." Jack replied.Cadence gave me a warm smile, Jack got up and looked at the other Princesses.

"Do you want something to eat?" Jack asked.

"That would be nice yes. "Celestia replied.

"Well then, get yourself cleaned up and I’ll prepare breakfast." Jack said.

"Jack how are we supposed to get cleaned up if we don’t know any of your Human technology?" Celestia asked.

"Well do you guys have showers in Equestria?" Jack asked.

"We have showers yes." Celestia replied.

"Well we Humans have them to, just follow me." Jack said while walking out of the room.

The Princesses followed him towards the bathroom.

"Wow this bathroom is big!" Candace exclaimed.

"It’s something alright." Twilight added.

"Is that the shower?" Luna asked while pointing her hoof at the shower.

"Yep that’s it." Jack replied.

"It’s made of metal." Celestia said.

"Yep. What are your showers made off then?" Jack asked curiously.

"We shower under clouds, and clouds are not made of metal in Equestria." Celestia said.

"Clouds? Wow now that’s something I would have never expected." Jack said.

"How does it work?" Luna asked, inspecting the shower head with her magic.

"The right handle is for cold water, the left is for warm water." Jack replied.

"Aaah We see, and what is this?" Luna asked while levitating a shampoo bottle.

"That would be shampoo, you can use it for you ha—err mane." Jack replied.

"Shampoo, we have that in Equestria as well." Luna said while opening the shampoo bottle. She took a sniff from the bottle and let out a soft hum. "Hmmmm, coconut one of our favorites." Luna said.

"You have coconuts in Equestria?" Jack asked.

"Yes, it appears our worlds have a lot in common." Luna said.

"Yeah, well here are some towels." Jack said while handing each of them a towel.

"Thank you Jack." Celestia said.

"Alright, ehm good luck with showering." Jack said.

Jack said his goodbyes and walked outside of the bathroom. He walked downstairs and began preparing a fruit-based breakfast for them.

'The shit I do for them.' Jack thought while slicing an apple.

Princesses Pov,

"Aah We really needed that." Luna said while stepping out of the shower. She levitated a towel towards her and started to dry herself off.

"My turn." Celestia said while stepping inside the shower, she closed the cabinet ans started to wash herself. "Aaah this is indeed very pleasant sister." Celestia said while levitating the shampoo over to her. She squeezed the bottle and some shampoo fell on her mane. "*sniff* I've never tried coconut before, but maybe I should; because this smells amazing."

"Yes sister it does." Luna said. "But could thou please hurry up?" Luna asked.

"Sister please, a mare needs her time." Celestia replied while grabbing the shower gel.

"Yes but We are really hungry." Luna whined.

"Then go downstairs and eat." Celestia replied.

"Alright! We will see thee downstairs." Luna said. Luna opened the door and walked downstairs.

'She can be such a little filly sometimes.' Celestia thought while stepping out off the shower. "Alright, your turn Twilight."

"Thank you Princess Celestia." Twilight replied while stepping in the shower. "Aaah, you were right Princess, this is really nice." Twilight said.

"I know Twilight." Celestia said while drying herself off.

It didn't take Twilight too long to shower herself off, it only took her 4 minutes.

"Alright, your turn Cadence." Twilight said.

"Huh? Oh yeah, right!" Cadence replied while stepping inside the shower. She closed the cabinet and started to hum.

"Jack has been nothing but nice to us, I feel like we have to give him something in return." Twilight said.

"Didn't we give him a hug yesterday?" Celestia asked while putting on her crown.

"I know but it's just that he has done so much for us." Twilight said while putting on her crown as well. "He's given us shelter, he shared his personal life with us, he helped Cadence get over Shining Armor.....Kind off, he's--."

"Yes you are right Twilight." Celestia cut her off.

"So what are we gonna give him?" Twilight asked.

Celestia held a hoof to her chin. "Hmmm perhaps we could give him another hug?" Celestia suggested.

"We could do that, he did seem to enjoy it." Twilight replied.

"How about we prepare dinner for him tonight?" Cadence suggested while stepping out off the shower.

"I'm not good at cooking Cadence." Twilight admitted, remembering all off the failed meals she had prepared for Spike.

"Well I for one know how to cook." Celestia said.

"You do?" Twilight and Cadence asked in union.

"Yes. Is it that hard to believe?" Celestia asked

"N-No, it's just that I never would have expected to hear you say that." Twilight replied.

"Well I do know one or two things about cooking." Celestia said.

"I could help to." Cadence chimed in. "Remember how I used to bake those chocolate chip cookies for you when I foalsitted you Twilight?"

"Remember? I can still taste them." Twilight said while drooling a little.

"*giggle* Twilight, you've got a little something on your mouth." Cadence said while holding back a giggle.

Twilight was snapped out of her trance. She quickly whiped her drool off her muzzle.

"S-Sorry." Twilight said sheepishly.

"That's alright Twilight." Cadence replied. "How about I make you those chocolate chip cookies when breakfast's done" Cadence suggested.

"Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes!" Twilight replied with much joy while bouncing up and down.

"Girls! Breakfast's ready"! Jack shouted from downstairs.

"We're coming!" Celestia shouted back. "Let's go down shall we?"

"Wait just one more thing." Cadence said. Cadence levitated the towels over the shower cabinet. "There now those can dry off while we get breakfast."

"Smart thinking Cadence." Celestia said.

"It's the least we can do for our little hero." Cadence replied.

"Our little hero? Is that his new name?" Twilight asked mockingly.

"What, no it's just that uhm.....Let's just go and get breakfast." Cadence said while opening the door and trotting towards the living room.

"Let's go down as well shall we?" Celestia suggested.

"Lead the way Princess." Twilight replied.

Celestia nodded and started to walk downstairs; Twilight following her lead.

'Jack really has been nice to us. But why did I forgive him so quickly? If somepony else woukd have done that; I would not have been as forgiving as I was to him.' Celestia thought while walking down the stairs. 'And why did I not let him go when I began to scold him.'

When they entered the living room they were greeted with a pleasant sight, Luna and Cadence were happily munching on the salads Jack had prepared for them.

"Sister thou must try the salad Jack has prepared for us. It has apples, peaches, coconut, and pineapple in it." Luna said while taking another bite from her fruit salad.

"It's really good auntie." Cadence added.

"Is that so?" Celestia asked curiously.

"Well the only way for you to know is to try it." Jack intertwined.

Jack was wearing his blue jeans, a Halo 4 t-shirt, and his red Adidas shoes.

"Here you go." Jack said while handing them two bowels of fruit salad.

"Thank you Jack." Celestia said while grabbing the bowl with her magic.

"Thanks Jack." Twilight said while grabbing the bowl with her magic, and giving him a warm smile.

Celestia and Twilight sat down on the couch on the far right. The TV was already turned on, it was set on Star Wars The Clone Wars.

"You will be remembered captain Gregor. We will take your heroic story back to the Republic. And we will watch for your return."

With that line; the episode ended.

"Poor captain Gregor, he just got his memory back and he makes the most heroic sacrifice We have ever seen." Luna said while wiping a tear away from her eyes.

'She should see commander Thorn's final stand. Now that's badass.......Not as badass as Gregors final stand.....But still pretty badass.' Jack thought.

"Well that was a good episode." Luna said while putting her bowl down on the salon table.

Celestia and Twilight were already munching away on their salads. They just sat there, listing to the conversation.

"So what do you girls want to do now?" Jack asked.

"Sister We have been thinking about what thou told Us." Luna said.

"And?" Celestia asked while putting her bowl down.

"We think that We should try the teleportation spell now." Luna said

"Now? As in right now?" Celestia asked.

"Yes sister." Luna replied.

"Well......Ok then." Celestia said.

"Wait." Jack interrupted. "Didn't you try the same thing yesterday?" Jack asked.

"Yes we did, but I think that if we would combine our magic; we could be able to get the teleportation spell to work." Celestia explained.

"Well if you say so, I'm not stopping you." Jack replied.

Cadence looked at Celestia, she eventually got up and walked towards Jack. "Jack I-I just w-want to say that that--." Cadence couldn't even finish her sentence, she collapsed on the ground and started to cry.

"Wow Cadence calm down." Jack said while getting on his knees and pulling her in a comfortable hug. "Sshhh it's alright, hey your gonna go home." Jack reassuringly.

"I *sob* know but it's just that *sob* I am afraid to g-go home." Cadence said. While burying her head in his chest.

"Afraid? Why would you be afraid to go home?" Jack asked confused.

"Because I've got nothing, I'm the Princess Of Love. But I'm divorced with the one I loved so much." Cadence said.

"Hey don't worry, you still have them." Jack said while pointing at Twilight, Celestia, and Luna.

"That is true niece Cadence, We will  make sure that thou will be the happiest mare in Equestria." Luna said.

"I'll make sure to make you as happy as possible." Celestia added.

"I'll visit you everyday." Twilight added.

"Really?" Cadence asked while breaking the hug.

"Really." They all said in union.

"I-I don't know what to say *sniff* thank you so much." Cadence said.

"Your welcome Cadence." Celestia said. She walked towards Cadence and wrapped a wing around her. Luna and Twilight soon followed.

Jack got up and watched the scene.

Heh reminds me of the time when Steven and I got stuck in an elevator, and when we had to snuggle up to each other to keep ourselves warm......Actually this is nothing like that; forget what I just told you.

Celestia looked at Jack before using her magic to pull Jack in the hug.

"Woah!" Jack shouted.

He suddenly found himself in the middle of the hug, his face inches away from Cadence's.

"Uhm........Hi?" Jack awkwardly said.

Cadence looked at Jack before blushing. "H-Hi." Cadence replied.

Cadence looked in Jacks eyes, they looked at her with compassion, he truly did care about her didn't he.

'Those beautiful eyes.' Cadence thought. 'Wait what am I saying? I can't possibly be.......' Cadence thoughts drifted off.

"Cadence are you ok?" Jack whispered.

"Huh? Uhm yeah I-I'm fine." Cadence whispered back.

"Ok, and don't worry; if you ever need help, my door is always open." Jack whispered.

"Thank you so much Jack." Cadence said while giving Jack a nuzzle on his cheek.

Jack blushed a little, but he didn't stop her.

'She's really nice.' Jack thought. 'No all of them are really nice.'

The hug was broken and Cadence stopped nuzzling Jacks cheek.

"Alright, it's time to leave." Celestia announced.

"Let's hope it works this time." Jack said.

"Yeah, let's hope it does." Twilight said.

They stepped in the middle of the living room. In a matter of seconds; they closed their eyes, their horns started to glow. Jack could feel a certain aura coming from them, like a strong power or something. 'I'm actually kind of sad that they have to leave.' Jack thought.

Their horns started glowing much brighter, suddenly a big flash blinded Jacks vision, he covered his eyes. A few seconds later the light dimmed.

Jack opened his eyes and looked at the spot the Princesses were standing in.

Well that is that, I guess I better start telling Steven what happend and.......Oh shit.

"Did it work." Luna asked.

"I don't know." Celestia replied.

"I didn't even say goodbye." Cadence said.

"I have to tell my friends what happened!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Girls, the spell didn't work." Jack said.

The Princesses looked towards the voice was coming from.

".........Oh no." Celestia said.

"I'll prepare some drinks so we can discuss this." Jack said.

"Because we're all gonna need one"
