Short Stories of a Dad

I stood there in front of the mirror that was near the door, trying to make my blue bowtie look perfected as possible and let me tell you, it's not that easy.

Inside of the living room was Sarah playing with the same toys last night. I looked at her with happiness as she was pretending to be a heroic knight saving the day from monsters (which was a big teddy bear called 'Willow T' and I don't know why she called it that, she just did)

I looked back to the mirror and finished with the tie while looking at the two tickets to The Grand Gala sent by her majesty, Princess Celestia. Now we Brits really like our Royals and when I was invited by one. Well... Let me put it this way: AWESOME!!

"Honey?" I shouted up the stairs "Are you nearly ready?"

"Almost" Octavia answered. Soon I heard the sound of the door bell ringing and so I went to open the door. To see the babysitter for the night.

"Hey it's George the man" came the voice of Vinyl as I let her in with a smile on my face. "I thought that you and Octavia would be gone by now"

"You can't rush act" I answered as I looked back to the stairs "And Octy has a very good taste in it"

"I can guess" Vinyl said as she turned to face the living room and saw Sarah playing "Hi Sarah"

"Auntie Vinyl!" Sarah shouted in delight to see her favour auntie as she ran to her and give her a huge hug. I smiled at the site of the two hugging each other.

"Oh Georgie" I heard my beloved wife calling me. I turned my head to the stairs and was blown away at to what I was looking at.

There at the top of the stairs was Octavia, wearing a pink dress with ripens across the top row of the dress and she was wearing light blue shoes that shined so bright. My face was all in awe at this as she came down the Stairs ever so graceful.

"How do I look dear" Octavia asked lovely.

"You look like a angel that came from the very heavens honey" I replied as I went up to her and gave her a kiss on the lips. As you can guess Sarah put her tongue out and Vinyl giggled to that. We both looked at them and laughed as well to our daughter's action.

"Well we'll be off" I said happily as I walked towards the door to open for my wife to go through. "Now you listen to Vinyl and don't stay up late just because we're gone to the Gala understand?"

"Yes daddy" Sarah answered happily as she waved her hoof goodbye to us. And soon me and Octavia went off to the Gala.

The travel from Ponyville to Cantorlot was nice and peaceful.

We were at the entrance to Cantorlot castle and it was magnificent. Me and Octy couldn't wait to see not only the princesses but to see if any of our friends from Ponyville was here and let me tell you that there was some eyes watching me from the other guests.

Finally we were at the top of the royal stairs and there was Princess Celestia herself.

"Ah welcome Octavia and George Rowland" Princess Celestia said friendly to me and Octavia. "And welcome to The Grand Gala"

"We are grateful for the invitation Madam" I replied as I bowed my head at her.

"Madam?" Said the princess "I haven't been called that before, is that how you greet your royal then?"

"Yes, we don't really say 'your highness' that often to our current Queen"

"Well that is okay by me" Celestia said with a nod and smile "Please enjoy this year's Grand Gala"

Me and Octavia again bow our heads and walked into where the party is being hold. There was a lot of nobles and ladies walking and talking to one and another, Classical music playing in the background and a nice place that hold food and drinks. So this is what Buckingham Palace must looked like when it throws a party like this.

"So what do you want to do?" I looked down at Octavia.

"I don't know" Octavia whispered to me "let see if any of our friends are here"

To that I nodded in agreement. But before we even moved, a blur of pink came right in front of me. It then turned into Pinkie Pie (we all saw this coming)

"Hey there" Pinkie Pie squeak in delight to see us "It's the happy couple George and Octavia, we have a table on the other side of the hall, come come"

There no arguing with Pinkie and so we followed her to this table she mention. On this table was the rest of Pinkie's friends, there were all talking to each other until our arrival.

"Hello everyone" I said smiling to them as we were at the table and took a seat.

"Ah darling" Rarity answer with joy and somewhat angry as she was looking around for something or rather someone. "It is good to have you here with us"

I lifted up a eyebrow to this as I turned to the rest of the gang "What is she looking for if I ask?"

Rainbow groaned "She is looking for prince Blueblood. He's not very liked among the royal and he was rude to Rarity the last time we were here"

"So a King Charles the first type eh?"

"Who?"

"Just a king that some really, REALLY didn't like"

We had a nice chat we the Mare 6 and had a lovely time as well. Soon Octavia went off to find a drink for herself leaving me with the girls. But soon I saw Twilight's face went from enjoying herself to a shock face.

"Oh no" she said all worry "It him"

I turned to see that my wife was standing next to some jerk that looked like he was trying to hit on her.

I grind my teeth together with anger "I take it that is he"

"Yep" Applejack angrily replied back "That's Blueballs himself"

I looked back at Rarity and saw that her face was all red in our anger "Oh why the ne-"

"Hang on Rarity" I interrupted her while having a evil smirk on my face "I got a plan" I went to her and whispered  my plan to her and she nodded in agreement to my plan. Then I started to walked up to my wife and the jerk. I then can hear what he was saying to my beloved.

"You know nopony would notice us being missing for a couple of hours" he tried to flirt with my wife and I'll not allow that to happen.

"I'm married and even if I wasn't I wouldn't be with you" Octavia said venoms to him in disgust.

"What makes your husband better then me?" Blueblood said angrily at her. That is it.

I was now behind him and I tapped him on the shoulder, he then turned around and saw me.

"Well I have thing call fingers which can to many great thing that you cannot don't" I answered with a sinister grin on my face.

Blueballs jumped in shock "What in Tartarus is that!?"

"Nobody expected the Spanish inquisition"

"And does that mean?"

"This" I then step aside to let a charging Rarity heading Straight towards Blueblood. He then gasped and ran away while Rarity continued her charge.

"Just you wait until I get my hooves on you!" Rarity yelled at him as the disappear to another hall. I then went to my beloved wife.

"Are you alright?" I asked her In concern for her health. "Did he hurt you?"

"No" Octy replied "He just said bad pick up lines and that it" I then hugged her and we went back to table with some of then laughing at what just happened.

We then return home after having a great time (part from the Inquisition bit) at the Gala. Soon we arrived at our home and I open the door to the house.

When we entered the building we saw Vinyl sleeping with a book over her eyes and Sarah sleeping on her with her teddy bear.

"Well" I whispered to Octavia's ear "This is definitely something new"
