This story has been canceled.

Ok, so this is going to be a huge skip but don't worry! There will still be some recap in the future which will go over what exactly happened in that time period.

3 months later

Getting used to having a marefriend who wasn't royalty and wasn't so needy took some time. No offense to Twilight and Dream but a man needs some space.

...

I open my eyes because of the sound of knocking. I get out of bed slowly, making sure that I don't awaken Velvet before walking through the hallways of the house to the door. "Who could have found out where this is anyway?" I ask myself out loud.

Once I get to the door I grab my police flashlight and strap it to my side as well as a Glock 21sf .45 auto pistol. I load a 36 round magazine into it before sliding it back and holstering it. "Ok." I assure myself and then open the door.

I see two burly earth pony stallions in royal guard armor standing at the door, one with a letter and the other with a broadsword. Totally not suspicious at all. "Sir, can you open this letter please?" I take the letter in my hands and rip open the envelope so I can read it but don't take down my guard.

Please look down and turn around while you are knocked out and transported to Canterlot.

"I'm sorry but I can't read this." I lie proceeding to hand it back to them. The stallion on the left who gave me the letter starts talking.

"Oh, It say-" I stop him with a uppercut to the muzzle, knocking him out immediately. The second stallion tries to swing their sword at me madly which shows that they have absolutely no training. I block and then conk them on the head with my flashlight. Once I have confirmed that they are knocked out I start dragging their unconscious forms into the house until I'm at the basement. I throw them in there and lock the door but not before restraining them magically.

Perspective: Velvet Majesty

I feel a shuffling in the bed as I lay there. I open my right eye halfway and look through the corners to see Brandon walking towards the front door. I get out of bed slowly and land on my hooves. Once I'm sure he isn't paying attention I see what he's doing. I note two stallions appear when Brandon opens the door but I focus on what he is doing at that moment. One of the stallions whom is slightly shorter than the other hands him a letter which he reads. Brandon hands it back but not before hitting him really hard in the face. Oh my god... Is the royal guard after us?! Brandon then slams his flashlight onto the remaining pony's forehead when they miss their slash, effectively knocking him out. I think I've seen enough.

"What have you done?!" Velvet screams in my face as I turn around. I flinch instinctively but don't look down. "You just knocked out those stallions." She adds.

I look at her a little irritated before saying, "They wanted me to turn around so they could knock me out and transport my unconscious form to Canterlot. That's literally what the letter said. Would you have complied?" I sigh and put my head in my hands. This has been a weird way to start my day and I don't think I'm going to be getting sleep for a while.

"How did they even track us here?" I add. Velvet looks at me before brightening up.

"I think they may have followed your aura to here. Took them long enough though. Being a prince gives them the authority to track you I think." She sighs. "But you still shouldn't have just knocked them out."

I start to go back to our bedroom so I can get some well deserved rest. "I'm still tired and it's too early for this shit." I plead her.

She stops me by running in front of me. "Look, I know you're tired but you just bucked up majorly. How can you just ignore this?" My marefriend asks me rhetorically. I just stare in silence, occasionally rubbing my eyes. "Ok! I get it. But can you please just try to help me here?" Velvet pleads.

"Ok."

"No I- Wait what?"

"Ok."

"Not even an argument?"

"No..."

"Okay..."

Oops, a quick recap here for you guys that don't know. As with any relationship Brandon and Velvet would sometimes argue over the stupidest things but that happened over the past few months. To fix some of the issues Brandon or the protagonist in this case decided to just listen and stop being so childish. So yes he has matured a little more from being around her. Anyways, back to the story.

"I know, I'm just sick of arguing. But anyways. What is your plan?" I ask her curiously.

"Well, we can go off the grid for a while or we can take the obvious approach. But knowing you, you would probably take the obvious one anyways even though I would advise against it." Velvet Majesty says with a shit-eating grin.

"Hey! I'm not that predictable..." I say in mock hurt. She playfully punches me with her hoof as I allow a smile to take my features.

A loud bang sounds of in the distance which causes the two of us to turn around. The door immediately goes flying and there standing are five very angry looking princesses. Cadence, Twilight, Luna, Celestia and Dream.

Oh shit. A cliffhanger! Just kidding.

"Did you think you could truly hide from us any longer?" Celestia asks me rhetorically with a sort of calm fury.

"I wasn't hiding. I was taking a break." I retort.

"Oh please. Tell that to your marefriend." Luna points an accusatory hoof at Velvet who is just standing there in the middle of it all.

"Hey! That's rude." Velvet yells back, getting in a defensive stance while the rest follow.

"What you both did was even worse." Twilight says before lighting her horn. "You can't run away from your responsibilities!" She adds. Dream and Cadence look like they've been forced to come as they just stand on their hooves avoiding eye contact.

"Ok. What do you want?" I ask bluntly. The three alicorns are taken aback by my bluntness. A blank expression plays across Celestia's face while Luna looks hurt as well as Twilight.

"Actually, you know what? Fuck this. I'm hungry." I say as I walk away from the scene. I hear the pounding of hooves as everypony comes into the kitchen with me.

Celestia looks like she's about to say something rude but I raise a hand to stop her from going any further. "Can we call a timeout? I can't do this on an empty stomach." A few sighs are heard but they all nod in defeat after my stomach growls.
