What a Doctor can "Do"

The next morning, I awoke to Twilight’s side of the bed empty. I looked at the clock. 12:30.

I had about 30 minutes to get ready as the flight to Canterlot was around an hour long.

“Morning sunshine!” Twilight’s voice greeted me as I got out of bed, 2 cups of piping hot coffee in her magic aura.

I took one with my wing and made my way to the bathroom. Putting my coffee on the vanity, I turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up to the right temperature. As I washed up, I tried to get the stress out of my head for my own sake. I stepped out of the shower, dried up and stepped out into the bedroom again. My suit was pressed and on the bed for me.

“I thought it needed an iron and a press” Twilight said

“You really are the most perfect mare in Equestria” I said and incredulous look on my face as I took another long draft of coffee.

This made her blush almost maroon.

I put on my suit and combed my messy mane into a more presentable fashion.

“My, my don’t we look handsome?” Twilight said looking me up and down.

The suit did exactly what it was supposed to do, accentuate my very muscular body in a way that is not too showy.

I looked at the time. 12:58.

“I better be off.” I said.

“OK, I’m sure you’ll nail it. Don’t get worked up about it.” She said

She gave me a long kiss and sent me on my way.

The flight was long and tedious. I saw Canterlot on the horizon, and began my descent.

I walked through the streets to the castle gates, where 2 guards let me through, probably because of my outfit. I was stopped by the 2 guards at the large, scratch that, HUGE main castle doors.

“Stop right there!” The guard on the left yelled.

I froze at the top of the stairs.

“Identify yourself or face arrest!” The one on the right barked while glaring at me.

“My name is Doctor Stanley Do. I’m here to see the princesses for my veterinarian evaluation and certification.” I stated to the guards.

They both looked at me, then each other. The looks on their faces were odd, as if they felt sorry for me, but I shrugged that off. The guard on the left opened the door and lead me to the throne room.

“You are to wait here until you are summoned by the princesses.” The guard said to me

“Yes sir” I said

I waited for what seemed like an eternity. Sitting in the empty throne room, I decided to let my curiosity get the best of me and look at the magnificent stained glass windows that lined the hall. I was staring at the one of Twilight ascending to royalty, thinking about how beautiful this piece was. I was roused from my thoughts by a female voice coming from the far corner.

“Doctor Do? Hello?”

“Yes, I’m over here. I’m coming.” I said grabbing my saddle bags of research and walking over to the door. The fuchsia colored alicorn that had called me was standing there in a semi-formal dress.

“Princess Cadence, it is an honor” I said bowing

“Follow me, the Celestia and Luna are through here.” She said guiding me

The door shut and locked behind me. I stood in a fairly well lit room with 4 thrones on a higher platform. 2 of them filled with the Princess’ of the Day and Night, the other being filled shortly by Cadence.

I bowed low and deeply to them.

“Hello your majesties. I presume you already know why I am here” I said

“I would like to present my research from my journeys abroad to you. They are most of my life’s work.” I said humbly as I reached into my bag and pulled out the papers. They were soon enveloped in 3 different auras.

“I must say,” Princess Luna said breaking the silence, “These are absolutely beautiful drawings”

“T-thank you y-your majesty” I managed to stammer.

“Your notes are phenomenal as well. You’ve perfectly translated Tuskimo to English” Celestia said with a grin

“I’m honored” I managed to get out.

“And...Oh my...” Cadence said stopping as she turned a page in my journal.

My journal shifted auras as Celestia and Luna looked at it as well. All three princesses faces turned into wide grins.

What were they looking at?

They left the room for a little while but returned shortly.

“Doctor Do, we have decided to grant you your certification to practice veterinary medicine in Equestria.” Princess Celestia stated.

A document with all three of the Princess’ signatures was put on the table in front of me by a navy blue aura.

“Before you leave however, there is one thing we’d like to discuss.” Princess Luna said

“Yes your highness?”

“Oh enough, can we agree to have him call us by our informal names?” Cadence said to the other two.

“Yes, I see no issue” Celestia said

“Very well then, Luna, what do we need to discuss?” I asked

“This” Celestia said, holding up my journal.

I looked in horror at the page she had opened. That page was the poem Twilight had written me last night while helping me prepare. It was quite a steamy and “lovey-dovey” poem from what I can remember.

“I...uhm...don’t know what to say.” I stammered my eyes nearly bulging out of my skull.

“I think she will though.” Celestia said

A faint *pop* that I knew all too well echoed throughout the room.

“Princess Celestia, you needed me, you said it was ur-” Twilight Sparkle said, trailing off as her eyes fell on me.

“Uhm, what’s going on?” She asked.

“I think you know Twilight” Cadence said holding up my journal with the page with the poem still showing and practically beaming.

Twilight’s eyes turned to pinpricks and she froze up.

“Well Twilight, when were you going to introduce us to your lover?” Celestia said, no longer being formal in any way, shape, or form.

“Well how about now?” Twilight said trying to diffuse the situation, “Stan, could you come up here please?” she looked at me with pleading eyes.

I stepped up onto the raised platform, nearly as embarrassed as Twilight was.

“Cadence, Luna, Celestia, this is my coltfriend, Dr. Stanley Do.” Twilight introduced me again

“Very pleased to meet you again” They all said in response.

“Well now that is dealt with, why don’t you and Twilight head home?” Celestia said.

“Yes, that sounds like a good idea,” I spoke up, saving Twilight from any further embarrassment.

I took my framed document and grabbed Twilight’s hoof as she teleported us back to the castle.

“I had no idea she would find that,” Twilight said, her cheeks almost blood red.

“With all do respect, I’m glad it happened then and not later.” I said

“Why’s that?” She said looking at me with a confused expression.

“Well since Cadance knows, I’m expecting your brother to pay me a visit quite soon. I know how much he cares about you.” I said matter of factly

Twilight looked at me surprised.

“I should confront him alone if he does show up, after all, I don’t want to drag you into stallion drama.” I said

“Alright I trust you. Just don’t say anything stupid, alright?” She said jokingly.

“Will do” I said as we headed off to bed with only the intention of sleeping.
