The Only Chapter

I scurried down the hall of the hotel I would be staying in for a week. Having recently ascended to the role of an Arstrotzkan Political Officer, I was one of the few to represent my nation in the current Global Summit Of Nations along with all the other royal and political dignitaries.

Political Officers from the Arstrotzkan Republic were known for their stoicism and deadpan discipline, but I was sure the expression on my face right now was utterly dumbfounded and ridiculous.

Walking right next to me was none other than the alicorn of love and close friend of mine, Princess Cadance of Equestria. If that wasn't enough, she had chosen to hold hands.

I didn't know if it was a girl thing or not, but she wouldn't dare let go of her grip. It was obvious that the other representatives, especially the younger ones like me, found the sight of me and Cadance amusing. It was a rare chance to see an Arstrotzkan Officer or an Equestrian Princess up close, much less seeing them hold hands.

I was certain the sight of me and Cadance together was humorous within itself. On one hand was me wearing my drab officer uniform, boots and commissar cap while Cadance wore an elegant pink dress, regal elbow gloves and her royal crown. It was quite the stark contrast.

Such a sight would largely be unthinkable given the radical collectivist nature of my nation, but I had known Cadance personally for a long time. Growing up, the two of us had consistently been shining examples of exemplary citizens from our respective countries, so we were always invited to summits of grandeur.

It was during these international gatherings where I met Cadance and where we became unlikely, but very close friends. Even though we only saw each other a few times per year, the weeks we would spend together would be some of our favorites.

However, the years had passed by and Cadance had matured into the stunning Princess she was. Needless to say, her magical royal allure and beauty could now easily turn me into a nervous wreck.

Still, Cadance was one of my closest friends regardless of global politics and how much she recently seemed to enjoy teasing me with her arousing charms. I wasn't going to be in a rush to let go of her hand.

Smiling brightly, Cadance's angelic voice grabbed my attention. "We're almost at our room Levy."

I twitched at being called my nickname, especially when I heard a snicker.

"Levy?" I cringed, mentally cursing in Arstrotzkan all the while.

Cadance grinned. "Yeah? You don't like being called that now?"

"We're twenty now." I muttered.

"Lev!" smirked Cadance, speaking with a playfully scolding tone. "You let me and your friends call you that a few months ago."

"Well," I stammered. "It's just that I'm now officially a Political Officer in the Ministry Of..."

Cadance cut me off. "Oh, I get it. You want to be called..." Cadance squinted at the name tag on my uniform and read out loud. "..Mr. Lev Vissarionovich Ulyanov?"

I gulped. "Eh, Levy is fine then."

The two of us crossed passed the large ornate hall until we finally reached the door of the suite we'd be sharing for a week.

With so many high ranking officials in this summit, it was no doubt that the place was packed with security. The ones guarding our room however, really stood out from the rest. As my country lacked the magic most others had, we needed to make up for it in technology. As a result, the four Arstrotzkan troopers geared in drab combat armor standing by the door clutched rifles instead of the usual spears and swords.

Wearing balaclavas and helmets, the only part of the soldiers that were visible were their piercing black eyes, no doubt focused on Cadance. She held my hand tight, a look of unease on her face customary to encountering intimidating Arstrotzkan infantry.

All tensions were immediately relaxed however as a soldier stepped forward, lowered his rifle and extended his hand to Cadance. Arstrotzkans didn't bow, so handshakes of solidarity were the only acceptable greeting.

Sensing his lack of ill will, Cadance smiled and extended her other hand to return the shake. The other dignitaries would cry scandal at a Princess shaking the hand of someone considered a commoner, but the Equestrian Princesses were far too humble for that.

The soldier greeted us in Arstrotzkan. "Zdravstvuyte. First Sargent Dragunov of the Arstrotzkan Second Division. My squad will oversee your safety for the night and any other time during the week deemed necessary."

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "Alright then, but weren't there supposed to be Equestrian guards here as well?"

Dragunov's piercing eyes didn't even blink. "The Premier was very adamant that we Arstrotzkans be the only ones to guard you two."

In other words, it Dragunov's way of saying the Equestrian Royal Guard was useless. Despite their rather undeserved reputations of bravery, they seemed to be incompetent at best. If the Ministry Of Information was right, the Royal Guards probably couldn't recognize a threat even if it was singing how evil it was right in front of them.

Cadance complied and sighed. "Well, if that's the case."

"We can send two men in if you'd like or get Sargent Molotov's squad from the lobby for reinforcements." offered Dragunov.

The next thing I knew, Cadance let go of my hand and placed her palm on my stomach while her other hand clenched my elbow.

"I'm sure we'll be alright." She assured. A blush flourished on my face the second Cadance pulled me in close, something I would rather not have happen in front of the military. I was relatively young though, so I was sure they wouldn't hold it against me.

Dragnov nodded. "Very well then."

He glanced at me and spoke in Arstrotzkan. "Vy znayete, ne nazvali by vas reaktsionnym izmennikesli ty vstretilis' s printsessa segodnya noch'yu."

"Chto?" I blurted back. Before I could say anything else, Cadance giggled and gladly pulled me by the arm into our room. I really hoped she didn't understand that brief exchange.

At last, me and the Princess finally entered our quarters for the week. Once we were through, I hastily closed the door behind me and pressed my back against it.

I took a deep breath to collect my thoughts and took a look at the hotel room we would be staying in for the week. It was a special suite with all homely accommodations and room with two plus sized beds. The classical and modern aesthetics that decorated the room were to be admired.

The sheer beauty of this luxury however, paled in comparison to the Princess standing before me. More then ever before, my eyes couldn't be taken off of Cadance.

My country had a rather aggressive opinion towards royalty, and the royalty of Equestria weren't spared from the occasional scornful remark or condemnation through propaganda. Needless to say, I was shocked to discover that Cadance and her aunt Princess Celestia turned out to be some of the brightest and kindest people the world had ever seen. (Cadance's cousin Prince Blueblood was another story.)

I didn't see Cadance all too much due to living in separate countries, but I was frequently awarded the chance to represent my country as a delegate of our nation's success during numerous global gatherings and festivals. As Cadance was an Alicorn Princess, it was her duty to represent her country as well and those times I spent with her would always be some of my favorites.

Over the years however, Cadance had transformed from a sweet little girl to a beautiful and wise woman. Needless to say, it was hard not to be reminded of this fact constantly. Everything about her right now screamed royal allure and magnificence. Cliched as it sounds, but she was as beautiful on the outside as she was on the in.

Her bright pink dress hugged her form nicely and helped to reveal the voluptuous curvy body Cadance grew into. It traveled down her body like a pastel pink waterfall with regal patterns on it that symbolized dress making of the finest quality. Said dress complimented her hair, tri colored pink and purple with streaks of blond that Cadance now let flow loose rather than tying it up in a knot to restrain its majesty.

Her regal beauty was a guilty pleasure of mine, even though I was taught to hate everything royal from a young age.

Cadance brought up her gloved hand and took off her dangling crown as she took a moment to compose herself as well. She then glanced at me with her bright purple eyes.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" she asked.

"Sure are." I replied, still gazing at Cadance. I then quickly bit my lip as I realized that Cadance was talking about the room and just let out my private thoughts about her.

"Oh the room!" I exclaimed, trying to save my ass. "Yeah it's nice and all, but you know us Arstrotzkans, no room for fancy things."

Cadance noticed my light distress. "Are you holding up alright Lev?" she called out.

"Um, yeah. Sorry for acting like a complete idiot back there." I sighed. "I'm normally more controlled than that."

Cadance formed an uncertain expression. "Don't blame yourself, as Alicorns get older we tend to project small doses of our magic and this leaves unprepared people acting strange." She then eyed me naughtily. "And, since I'm the Alicorn of Love, it could explain how you're feeling right now."

"Wh-what, love?" I yelped, cursing in Arstrotzkan under my breath. "Where did you get that from?"

Cadance grinned. "Lev, it's okay. We've known each other for long a time and I know I've...matured." She ran down a hand down her dress suggestively. "Besides, you're just adorable when you look all nervous and shy."

I blushed furiously and desperately tried to change subject. "L-long day ri-right?"

"Tell me about it." said Cadance, stifling a giggle and rolling her eyes as she admired my awkwardness. "The opening ceremony was great, but it's not like anything out of the ordinary happened during our conference."

"True." I smirked. "The delegates of Hoovoslavia threaten to remove the Trottoman Empire from the planet, the Griffon and Germane Empire delegates claim to be the strongest military power in the world, Saddle Arabia flaunts its wealth, Blueblood makes a fool of himself and you stop the younger Arstrotzkan delegates from teaching him a lesson in class war."

I chuckled at that last point. "Same old politics."

Cadance let out a laugh as well. "Look, I knew my cousin is a jerk, but you need to restrain yourself."

"I know. Courtesy and avoiding international incidents and all, but you know its telling when Equestria would side with Arstrotzkan Commissars over one of their own." I pointed.

"I can agree to that." nodded Cadance.

"Speaking of surprises though," I remarked, chuckling like a nervous maniac. "I...can't believe we're actually rooming...together."

"Why?" replied Cadance. "Your friends Kalashnikov and Mikoyan are rooming together and Blueblood begged for his own room. Apparently, this is his favorite hotel."

"Yeah," I croaked. "I just didn't know that Celestia and the Premier were okay with this kind of...arrangement."

Cadance placed a gloved finger on her chin and grinned. "Oh, I get it!" She ran her other finger down her dress, skidding around her sizable bosom and curvaceous hips she was blessed with. "Don't worry, girls don't bite, unless you like it a little rough."

"That's not what I meant!" I hastily exclaimed. "I just didn't think this would slide by our Conference's policy."

"Something tells me this is entirely my aunt's doing." guessed Cadance with a playful nod. "She thinks we look cute together and that you'd certainly appreciate the view." Cadance motioned her chest a bit up.

"C-cute together?" I blurted.

"Well, of course," chimed Cadance, walking towards me and sashaying those hips that her dress hugged tightly. "We've known each other for a long time and we've been the best of friends. Heck, I still have a picture of us when we first met. You were so cute."

"Thanks." I gushed. I took off my Commissar hat and nervously scratched my jet black hair. "You've always been amazing and beautiful yourself."

I quickly bit my lip. "Did I just say.."

"Aww," cooed Cadance. "That's so sweet."

"Sweet? Commissars are supposed to be efficient and ruthless!" I joked while swinging my cap of political authority.

Cadance laughed under breath. "I'm sure you'll make a great one. Your one of the smartest and hard working individuals I know, even by Arstrotzkan standards."

"Much appreciated." I thanked, Cadance making her way towards me.

I let out a sheepish grin. "Soooo, I don't think we'll have anymore interruptions."

"I hope not because it would get in the way of tonight's plans." purred Cadance, squinting her eyes in a suggestive manner. Her gaze traveled down my body in a slow manner, as if she was inspecting my body.

I bit my lip. "What plans?"

"You'll see." cooed Cadance, her tone playful.

She lightly twirled around and headed to the window in the living area. She then pulled the curtain and took a look into the night. Instinctively, I crept up to join her and admire the view myself.

The night sky shined brightly with stars gracefully scattered throughout it like bright flashing candles. The moon shined brightly as well and one could easily see the mysterious 'Lady On The Moon'. No one knew what that image meant, but the Arstrotzkan state largely believed it had something to do with an Equestrian myth.

Now was not the time to ask such questions however, as I felt Cadance's gloved hand clench mine as we gazed at the sight before us.

Cadance had a dreamy look in her eye. "You wouldn't believe how happy I was when I figured out the summit would be held in the Marediterranean islands. It's one of my favorite places to visit of all time."

I grinned. "Oh, you didn't like Stalliongrad? Is that it?"

"What?" chuckled Cadance, sensing my obvious tease. "Arstrotzka's advanced cities are wonderful in their own way, but you can't deny this place is beautiful."

"I'm not one for nature, but that's true I guess. I heard the beaches look their best in the morning." I agreed.

"I'm sure you'd love it," insisted Cadance. "Especially with the sight of me in a bikini."

"What?" I blurted.

"Relax, I wouldn't mind you staring." giggled Cadance. "You're cute when you're nervous."

I took a deep breath. "You...really seem to enjoy teasing me today, don't you?"

"Guilty as charged." she shrugged.

It was at that point when I realized how close Cadance was standing next to me, with her amble rack lightly pressing on my chest. Our eyes were once again locked in a situation I felt to be awkward, but extremely comforting at the same time, actually creating a pleasant feeling inside me.

Cadance broke the small silence. "I think we should get changed for the night."

"Right." I nodded.

I quickly made my way to the bedroom of the suite and closed the door of the room behind me. I took a deep breath to contemplate the rather intimate moments I just had with Cadance. She was filling my mind with warm and pleasurable thoughts that I just couldn't get out of my mind. I would have been lying if I claimed that most of my fantasies didn't involve her.

I shook my head and took a look at the room I would be staying in for the week. There were two large beds, one for me and one for Cadance along with some additional furniture I didn't pay much attention to.

One by one, I took off my Commissar uniform, removed my shoes and socks, and reached night clothes folded on my bed. I put on a comfortable white shirt and blue pants and headed out the door.

Cadance hummed a tune of amusement as she looked at me in my pajamas. "Wow, it was hard to picture you without your uniform."

"Eh, we enjoy the dark coats and caps." I playfully shrugged.

I expected Cadance to go into the room and change, but instead she took a step towards me and ran her gloved hands down her luscious vibrant hair.

I was about to ask what she was doing, when Cadance slowly grabbed the straps of her dress, winked at me, and quickly pulled them down. My eyes widened and followed the dress down as it gracefully fell to her feet.

With the sound of a snap, the dress was engulfed by light and teleported away.

Slowly, my eyes hiked back up the body of the Princess before me. Cadance's legs, oh those legs, went on forever and were hugged tight by a pair of bright violet thigh high stockings that concealed their endless firm frame. My eyes finally got passed her knees to her curvy thighs where her stockings ended and led to her glowing luscious skin. Cadance brought a leg forward, giving me more room to admire her thigh's toned flesh.

I finally reached to her hips where Cadance wore pair of purple shorts so small that I could easily see bits of her Crystal Heart cutie mark on her curvaceous hips. A light tug on those shorts would easily reveal the most scandalous parts of her body.

Continuing upwards, I glanced at the bright pink negligee Cadance wore that was split right in the middle, giving me a nice peek at her stomach. Suiting the rest of her royal curvy body, her belly was fir, firm and silky smooth.

The negligee only covered the sides of Cadance's stomach and just enough to cover her nipples, revealing a large amount of her perky supple breasts. A bow at the center of the garment kept it in place, but appeared to have been tied so loosely that I honestly expected it to fail and allow Cadance's plentiful bosom to plop out free.

Coupled with her thigh highs and elbow gloves, Cadance's lingerie was a recipe for instant arousal. She revealed just enough skin while still leaving anticipation for more, augmented by the fact that her clothes looked like they were about to fall off any second.

"So," said Cadance, her voice ever so sweet. "What do you think?"

"Um, I, uh." I was at a clear loss of words. No matter how awkward I acted before, my current state took the cake.

I struggled for words that first started out as gibberish, then Arstrotzkan, and then barely comprehensible Equestrian. "It, uh, looks amazing. Like, really really amazing."

"Levy!" exclaimed Cadance. She twirled her hair and gently swung her hips to the side. "We've known each other for a long time, I'm sure we can be honest with each other."

"So, you're going to be sleeping in that?" I muttered, thankfully not sweating. Although Cadance and I were roughly the same height, her beauty was imposing and I suddenly felt pretty small.

"Yeah, sleeping in lingerie is bit of a royal princess thing." she happily explained. "I hope this tradition won't be a problem ."

"OF COURSE NOT THIS IS AMAZING!" I yelled. I quickly bit my lip and hoped the guards outside didn't hear me.

Cadance rocked her hips to the other side, clearly finding my awkwardness adorable. "Well, nice to see you can finally handle me." She glanced at clock, pointing at eight. "We don't really have to be asleep for another three hours. Anything you have in mind?"

I found it hard to formulate an answer as I stared at Cadance and the shining body exposed by her revealing garments. Expecting the lightest breeze to knock of her loose top or for her shorts to slip between her legs, I slowly looked back at her face where I was greeted by her bright purple eyes.

"Uh, h-how about a-a movie?" I stuttered.

"Great!" beamed Cadance. She spun around, giving me a good view of her backside. She then sashayed her way to the table of the living area, drawing my attention to her bouncing hips, and then did the unthinkable. She bent down, giving me an amazing view of her perky ass, two shining cheeks of her love butt teasing me with their size and firmness.

I looked down and noticed a forming bulge in my boxers which I quickly covered up by pulling up my pants.

Cadance hummed a merry tune and looked through some of the things I had set up on that table when I first arrived. Purposefully to tease me, she slowly rocked her hips and ass while looking through my stuff.

"Oh, how about this? I heard it was amazing." Cadance faced me again, the sudden motion freeing me from the trance I was in by staring at her bottom.

Cadance had a copy of Your Papers, Sir. It was a drama about the heroic Inspector of the Ministry of Admission and the adventure he faced while manning a checkpoint for a month.

I nodded sheepishly. "Da-er-yes, we can watch it."

"Awesome!" cheered Cadance. She made her way to one of the couches, making sure to emphasize her swaying curvy hips all the while. As she sat, she lifted her gloved hand and conjured a spell that levitated the CD out of the box and into a movie player.

Like nearly every Arstrotzkan movie in existence, the film was also blatant propaganda for the state. The first thing we heard was the distinct menacing Arstrtozkan anthem.

I didn't pay attention to the movie, as my eyes were firmly glued on Cadance. Not because she was surprisingly enjoying the intimidating song and nodding her head to it, but because of how wonderful she seemed to be in every way.

Never before had I this greatly admired how much of an amazing friend she was to me over the years. She was beautiful on the inside and outside as well with a new fondness for teasing me with revealing as much of her body as possible. Her fit stomach, her supple thighs, the mounds of her plentiful breasts and thelovely complexion at her face were all driving me to a state of intense arousal.

It seemed obvious that Cadance knew I was staring, which is what she seemed to want. I tried to focus on the movie as it depicted a rather humorous scene of the Inspector fidgeting with his post on his first day, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Cadance. I wanted to blame these feelings on her Alicorn magic swaying me to gaze at her, but I knew this wasn't the case.

After a few moments passed, Cadance lifted her stocking covered leg towards her on the couch and looked at me. Saying nothing, I watched as she reached for the tip of her thigh high and slowly peeled it off of her long majestic legs. My eyes widened at the sight of every bit of Cadance's leg revealing its shining firm skin as Cadance stripped the bright pink stocking off.

She finally removed the thigh high from her feet, flexed her freed toes, and gently dropped the garment down before it vanished in a trail of magic.

Cadance repeated the act with her other sock, exposing more even more of her perfect skin. I was in an utter trance as I stared at those long curvy legs glistening in the light as they were freed from the stockings that contained their perfect form.

"So?" chirped Cadance, bringing me back to reality.

"Huh?" I muttered, trying to look at Cadance's face in light of her even more exposed body.

"Aren't you gonna keep me company Levy?" she innocently asked, as if she was oblivious to the arousal she was causing me.

"Oh, um.." I knew it was no use, but tried to hide my boner with my shirt as I walked up and sat next to Cadance.

The tension between us was so thick that experimental Arstrotzkan chain swords couldn't cut it. Never before had I ever sat this close to a beautiful woman in extremely loose lingerie that looked like she wanted to cuddle.

The two of us looked into each other, completely missing the scene in the movie where the first terrorist from the Griffon Empire nearly killed a guard with a suicidal combustion spell.

I gazed deeply into the twinkling purple eyes of Cadance that filled me with happy feelings. I didn't know how stupid my expression was at that moment, but Cadance still wore her warm smile as if she wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world.

"Can we lie down?" she asked.

"Huh?" My pale face turned a deep red.

"I'm kinda tired, maybe we should lie down while we watch." clarified Cadance.

I nodded and lied my back on the arm of the couch with a pillow to cushion my head. Cadance calmly rested her back on my chest as she lied down as well. Bits of her bare back came into contact with my upper body while her huge love butt pressed onto my hips. I bit my lip in hopes that Cadance wouldn't feel my erection touching her ass, but a light hum from her indicated that it wouldn't be a problem.

She locked her bare long legs with mine, trapping me in place as her tall body rested and spread across mine. Her head nudged against my neck, where I could get a full smell of her wonderful perfumed scent while she continued to watch the film as if the tension between us wasn't there.

The next thing I knew, Cadance gently grabbed one of my hands with her gloved grasp. Her other hand pressed on the top of my free one and landed the palm right on her bare stomach. My eyes widened as my hand felt stomach's her perfect skin. Her belly was firm and tonned, a testament to her fitness, as well as smooth, silky and plentiful.

I didn't want to get out of this position.

The film was truly a masterpiece, although why people considered it a 'tragedy' that the Inspector stayed with the Arstrotzkan government rather than joining the terrorist EZEK group was beyond me. Cadance herself was pretty invested in the movie, while I was completely focusing on the feeling of having a nearly naked princess lying atop of my body.

Having already watched the film and knowing of the real events, I was busy stroking her toned belly with one hand and lightly rubbing one of her thighs with the other. How I got away with caressing her was beyond me other than this being what Cadance wanted me to do.

"He's a Changeling! Guards!" yelled the Inspector in the movie, whose detector unmasked the disguise of a Changeling.

The sight of the Changeling in the film caused Cadance to yelp and nudge her body back against me. She grabbed both my hands and squeezed hard as she watched the security troopers in the movie dispose the Changeling spy.

Once the scene cleared, Cadance calmed down and loosened her grip.

"You alright?" I asked, moving my face away from her tri colored hair.

"I'm fine." assured Cadance. "It's just that..."

"Changelings." I nodded. The creatures fed on love, which was Cadance's main power. Needless to say, Cadance was terrified of them.

"Being the Princess of Love, I'm gonna be their favorite source of food." she uneasily chuckled.

"Hey, you're an Alicorn Princess; one of the most powerful magic users on the planet." I encouraged. "They'd have to be foolish to attack you before you hit them to the other side of the world."

"Thanks for the compliment." beamed Cadance.

I smirked. "And if they attack, we have a platoon of Arstrotzkan special forces protect us."

"And Equestrian Royal Guards?" added Cadance.

"Yeah, the Arstrotzkan troops will protect them too." I dryly remarked.

Cadance redirected my hands back to her top where I welcomed the feeling of her smooth skin again. The tension between us was at an all time high, but for once I didn't feel awkward around her. Rather, I felt calm and happy that I had such a great person beside me.

Still, there was one question that had always been bothering me since Cadance and I had entered our mid teens. So close and intimate to her, I decided now would have been a good time to ask her.

"Uh, Cadance. Can I ask you something that's a little personal?" I inquired, trying to remove any sense of unease in my voice.

"Of course Lev. Don't ever think otherwise." replied Cadance, eyes still facing the screen.

I took a deep breath and gently stroked my fingers across her firm stomach, drawing a muffled giggle and smile on her face. "So, we might just see each other every few months, but we've known each other for years."

"Mhm." hummed Cadance, enjoying having her belly caressed.

"But, despite you being the Princess of love, have you...ever..." I hesitated to continue.

"Yes?" said Cadance gently, wanting me to continue.

"Have you ever been in love?" I finally let out.

I bit my lip, hoping I didn't blow a fuse. Cadance turned her head towards me with a grin and raised eyebrow.

She lightly chuckled. "Levy! Are you asking me.."

"Nyet-er-no!" I quickly responded. "I was just curious."

"There's no need to be embarrassed." shook Cadance while laughing. She raised her hand to magically levitate the remote and pause the movie. "I've....never really had a true special someone before now that I think about it."

"Really?" I replied.

Cadance brought her face closer towards mine, lips distance apart. Coupled with me looking into her purple eyes and stroking her belly, I honestly expected her to kiss me at this point. Not that I would have anything against it.

Cadance continued. "As much as I want to find that right someone, I don't think I've really found anybody even with all the fake boyfriends I unofficially got set up with."

"I beg your pardon?" I said.

"You know," muttered Cadance. "The most popular girl has to date the most popular boy, so I got stuck with whatever guy was at the center of attention. Jocks, noble kids, and all."

I rolled my eyes. "Typical teenage bourgeois drama. No room for that back in the Republic."

"You're gonna make a great Commissar." giggled Cadance. "Still, there is one person that..." Cadance trailed off, looking unsure before resuming. "...You know that I babysat a girl right?"

"Da, you told me she was an aspiring magic student." I nodded.

"That, and she has an older brother our age." added Cadance. "He can be a lot like you actually."

I grinned. "Really?"

"Yup. He's nerdy, awkward around girls and just really adorable." cooed Cadance.

"I'm taking all of that as a compliment." I chuckled.

"So anyway, I did have a bit of a crush on him as he did on me." told Cadance. "Long story short, he tried winning me over from this jock I never even liked, then there was the prom where we danced and..."

Cadance blushed. "And we kissed."

I grinned. "So, it's official?"

"Not really." sighed Cadance. "I haven't really seen him after graduation, but something tells me I'll be the will change soon." She hummed sheepishly. "I heard he joined the Royal Guard."

"Well, good for him." I stated.

"It was a complete accident though." explained Cadance. "He was out doing a live action roleplay with his friends in the woods and let's just say there was a big misunderstanding. I think the 'Shining Armor' in his name might not refer to role playing as a warrior class anymore."

"Eh, you never know. He could make it to captain and you'd get to spend time with him all day." I shrugged. It wouldn't have been too hard anyway given the questionable competency of the Equestrian Guard.

"That would get rid of a few of my problems." agreed Cadance.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

Cadance sighed. "Now, that I'm an adult, I've been getting...suitors."

I groaned. "Ugh, some reactionary practices are intolerable. Let me guess, they're like the stuck up royal and noble brats straight out of Arstrotzkan propaganda?"

"Walking caricatures." sighed Cadance. She immediately felt better when I lightened the mood by rubbing her belly and moving a hand across a thigh.

"So basically, they don't see you as anything more than a Princess and pretty face? If those brats spent a second to figure out who you were, they'd realize someone as kind and generous as you would never spend a second with them." I scowled.

Cadance brought her face close to mine and nuzzled me, sending a wave of shock down my body.

"That's so sweet." thanked Cadance, making eye contact with me again.

"I-I'm sure your wish will be granted." I nodded. "As for me, Political Officers of Arstrotzka aren't exactly the ones to look for love ."

"That's a shame. Because you'd make a great boyfriend." winked Cadance.

"Gahehe." I blushed before regaining composure. "The life of a Political Officer is hectic as it is. Our oath to the collective already transcends all personal relationships."

"I understand," smiled Cadance. She pushed her body back to me, her ass pressing hard on my crotch. "But you're smart, really hardworking and so amazingly adorable. Any girl would be lucky to have you."

The two of us were silent for a minute, just smiling and looking into each other's eyes. My hands continued to massage and rub against Cadance's stomach and thigh, savoring the feeling of her perfect skin.

We had never been more intimate with each other like this. We had revealed so much and were essentially in each other's embrace. I decided now would be the time to reveal the truth.

"C-Cadance..." I gulped. "Look. I might not be looking for a relationship, but if I were to consider it and..I..if the situation was any different, know that I would choose you in heartbeat. I guess I really do love you, but.."

"Aww, that means a lot to me." thanked Cadance, her warm voice filled with tenderness.

"You're amazing." I let out. "You're kind, you're smart, lovely both on the in and outside, and.."

I was unable to finish, cut off by Cadance's beautiful face beaming at me with a bright smile. I clenched her supple skin and lost myself in the moment. Right when it looked like Cadance was about to move her lips towards mine, a flash of magic appeared on the table and an envelope was dropped. It had the Equestrian royal seal on it.

Cadance glanced at the enveloped, sighed and got up. She opened the enveloped with a rip from her magic and levitated the letter towards her.

She read its contents before turning towards me. "Um, Celestia wants me to go over somethings. I'm gonna take a bit, so I'll join you in the room." she concluded with a suggestive wink.

"Alright then." I shrugged. I took one more look at her revealing lingerie clad body before making my way to the bedroom.

Ten minutes had passed since Cadance got the letter. I was tucked in the covers of the bed and reviewing (obviously state sanctioned and biased) political theory to prepare me for the rest of the week.

Although saying that I was 'reading' would be stretching it as I was thinking about Cadance the entire time. We had basically revealed our feelings for each other, even if I wasn't exactly looking for a relationship. She had essentially gone out of her way in arousing and teasing me as well, something she wouldn't have done unless she had certain emotions for me.

Still, the situation as well as our personal paths made it clear that we wouldn't officially be an item. Did that make us lovers, friends with benefits or the second thing closest to romantic true love?

Speaking of which, the door to the room opened and Cadance crept in, looking as bright and cheery as ever. There was a slightly devilish look to her eyes though.

"Hey Levy." mused Cadance in a suggestive tone. She took a step in the room, emphasizing her long beautiful legs by sliding her gloved hands across them.

I was just about to ask what she was doing when she shut me up by placing both hands on her thighs right where her cutie mark would be and swung her hips to the side. The pose she struck nearly made my jaw drop.

Cadance formed a naughty grin, squinting her sparkling purple eyes. "So, what are you up to?"

I was too busy staring at her curvy figure to reply quickly. "Um, uh I was just brushing up on standard protocol."

Cadance lifted a gloved finger, right after she had slowly dragged it all across her fit stomach that shined in the room's light. "Oh, you're just like Twilight. Always reading on material you already know perfectly."

I sheepishly laughed. "Well, it's not like there's anything else to do right?"

"What ever do you mean Levy?" remarked Cadance playfully.

My eyes widened at what came next. Cadance reached for the loose knot of her negligee tucked right in her cleavage. I knew Cadance enjoyed teasing me, but what she did made me realize I was in for the real deal.

All it took was light tug from Cadance and the cloth barely holding onto her chest loosened and her two voluptuous breasts plopped out. Cadance reached for the strings with both her hands and slowly began to pull up the piece of lingerie. I could feel a tightening in my pants as the top was lifted and the endless perky mounds of Cadance's breasts were revealed.

With a wink, Cadance turned around as she finished the job, giving me a great view of her sizable rear and flawlessly shining smooth back. The only pieces of string I could see on her back vanished as Cadance stripped herself of the nightgown, no doubt completely topless.

Cadance faced me once again, a brilliant smile on her face with her two gloved hands pressing onto her buxom tits that were incapable of restraining their full form.

Cadance raised an eyebrow in approval and extended a knee forward, clearly savoring every second of my aroused anticipation before she revealed herself any further. Ever the devil, she began moving her hands in a circular motion, jerking and flexing her bountiful tits from side to side.

"Would you like to take a look what lies behind these hands oh great commissar of the people ?" teased Cadance, continuing to rub and grope her own breasts.

"Da-I mean yes!" I quickly replied, desperate to see her full curvy frame.

"Well, I can't deny a political officer now can I?" chirped Cadance. She continued rub her breasts' plentiful perky flesh for a few more seconds, the titillating motions hardening my manhood once again. She finally took her gloved hands off her pair and ran them down her hair as I admired the view.

Without anything to conceal them at last, I could finally confirm that Cadance's pair was perfect. Her breasts were large and round with bountiful perky mounds and two erect nipples waiting to be sucked.

"What do you think of the view Levy?" beamed Cadance with a bright happy smile as I stared at her topless frame.

"It's, it's, it's b-beautiful." I stammered like a broken record.

"Aww, that's so sweet." mused Cadance, extending her knee further and forcing my eyes to choose between staring at her legs or giant tracks of land at her chest.

Hesitantly, I forced myself to look up at Cadance's face, where I was greeted by her sparkling eyes once more. "Um, what's going on?"

Cadance laughed sweetly, causing her breasts to jiggle.

She placed her gloved hands on her hips and spoke like she was explaining a joke. "Oh Levy, please don't tell me you didn't see this coming? You honestly didn't think I'd take the opportunity of you rooming with me to consummate everything between us?"

I grinned sheepishly. "Um, no. I just thought you were being a tease."

Cadance giggled again. Oh how I loved when she did that. "You're still adorable when you're nervous. Me stripping down? Cuddling with you over the movie to talk about our feelings? All just as planned."

My heart's beating accelerated from what came next. Cadance seductively made her way towards me and placed both her hands on my bed. I gulped as I watched her lift herself onto the mattress and crawl towards me on her hands and knees, like a tiger approaching her prey.

The grin on her face was both naughty and her usual friendly self. I was then hypnotized as I gazed at her bosom that drooped down Cadance's chest where the impressive full length of her mounds was revealed. I was aroused just by staring at perky flesh of her breasts bouncing and jiggling from side to side as Cadance crawled closer.

What seemed like an eternity was only a few moments, and Cadance's beautiful face was right next to mine. All nervousness in my body was immediately quenched as I stared into her assuring eyes and her warm kind expression.

Cadance got on her knees and placed her gloved hands on my face. After an intimate pause, she reached in for a kiss.

Fireworks of bliss immediately went off in my head as Cadance's lips met mine. Her lips were perfect; smooth, firm, and soft. I closed my eyes where there was nothing but the feelings of passion and tenderness as we embraced each other.

There were pleasurable feelings inside me that I couldn't possibly describe, no doubt all from embracing the Princess of Love herself. We held the kiss for a few more moments before Cadance finally parted her lips from mine while still keeping our faces touching.

"Cadance..I...uh.." Locked between her knees, I was nearly at a loss of words.

She spoke with her calming voice. "We've been honest about how we feel for each other emotionally and romantically. Just because we might not end up together, doesn't mean we can't be honest about how we feel physically for each other."

Cadance brought her face down at me for another kiss. This one was deeper and far more passionate, with Cadance driving her tongue into mine. Her embrace was powerful as it was captivating and I savored every second when her lips were planted onto mine.

Cadance held the embrace tight, her tongue swirling inside my mouth while her hands held my face in position right next to her's. I motioned my hands behind Cadance and was met by the smooth feeling of her flawless back. My hands slid with immense ease across her back's endless surface, exploring every inch of its skin.

The kiss she held with mighty force and passion began to dwindle as I tenderly rubbed her back, never running out of the smooth surface to probe and sway my hands across. Like she was getting a massage, Cadance relaxed and lost herself in the sensation of my brushing hands and lightly broke off this kiss.

"Mmm, you know your stuff." mused Cadance, closing her eyes as I worked with her back. She moved her hands away from from my face and reached for the blanket.

I knew the where this was going. Cadance peeled the blanket off me and was met by my still clothed body.

She bit her lip seductively. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to care of a little problem here." Cadance grasped the end of my shirt and slowly began to take it off. I finally let go of her back and relaxed as Cadance disposed my white top.

I had a completely average build along with the signature pale Arstrotzkan skin, but that was disgraceful compared to the fit curvy beauty of Cadance. Luckily, she didn't judge and eyed me with desire.

She sat up straight and tossed my shirt to the bed she was supposed to be sleeping in. As she stood, her two massive tracks of land smacked my face with their firm supple goodness.

I found my vision obstructed by Cadance's voluptuous breast, her erect nipple poking my face. Cadance reached for the back of my head and pulled me into her chest where I greeted her bosom with a passionate kiss. Her mounds were too firm for me to really sink my face into, but the supple flesh provided me a great base to embrace.

My lips held onto the smooth exterior of her breast, her firm mounds feeling just as good on my lips as the rest of her body did on my hands.

Cadance let out a groan of pleasure as continued to hold the embrace on her, sending a tingling sensation from her chest throughout her body. She finally let go of the back of my head and placed her gloved hands on my bare chest. She gave me a light rub, returning the favor of me massaging her back.

I fastened both my hands on the sides of Cadance's stomach and continued to kiss her breast. I altered my approach to keep things interesting for her. Some of my embraces were quick pecks on her firm mounds that bounced her breast and tickled her with ecstasy while others were longer and passionate that made her moan with delight.

Cadance closed her eyes and lost herself in the feeling of having her chest loved by my lips while she continued to rub her hands on my top, the texture of her gloves that giving me a rough feeling I relished.

I hardened my grip on the sides of her stomach and accelerated the pace I embraced her bosom, mercilessly assaulting her tit with my lips. Cadance let out a cry of of both passion and laughter, tickled and pleasured by my lips. She forced her gloved hands down on my chest in the midst of her joy and forced her breast closer to my face, smothering me with its supple frame.

My lips pecked her chest in a clockwise pattern, a difficult task to accomplish since there was too much of her large breast to get to. Finally, I engulfed her nipple into my mouth.

"Suck it." Cadance playfully commanded.

I nodded with the nipple in my mouth and fastened my lips on it tight. Slowly, I began to suck her nipple, puckering and contracting my lips back and forth.

Like a candy, I sucked her nipple and tugged it tight with my lips. Cadance clearly enjoyed the tugging sensation on her bosom and ran her hands down her hair in delight, clearly waiting for more.

I nudged the tip of the hard nipple between my teeth with my tongue tongue and lightly nibbled it, tickling Cadance. I alternated between the tip of my teeth and the soft exterior of my lips as I sucked to both excite and comfort her.

I quickened the pace at which I sucked her nipple, my lips contracting as fast as humanly possible. In response, Cadance moaned faster and faster and lightly shrieked with bliss.

I pushed my mouth further into her breast, taking as much of the endless perky mounds and nipple as I could. I sucked as hard as possible for a few seconds before I used my tongue to push out the supple flesh.

It didn't just end there however, for my tongue was still on her nipple. Slowly, I swiped my tongue across her nipple, playing and flicking the erect goodness.

"You naughty animal." teased Cadance.

I dragged my tongue away from her nipple and back to her mounds, tracing the massive breast a clockwise pattern as before. Cadance shivered at the wet texture of my tongue that rubbed across well endowed breasts, hungry to feel its excess.

My tongue brushed across the endless breast like a treat. Every few seconds I'd probe the mounds by driving the tip of my tongue into its firm perky exterior.

One my tongue had finished traveling a circle around Cadance's breast, I found myself right at her cleavage. Cadance innocently smiled and placed her gloved finger on my chin and darted it to the other half of her voluptuous chest. Knowing what she wanted me to do, I licked my lips and went for the second round.

After a few minutes of making out with her other breast, Cadance was ready to take it to the next level.

"You really like my boobs don't you?" she teased, bouncing both of them with her hand.

I smiled and nodded sheepishly.

She stuck a bit of her tongue out. "Well, I think it's time we introduce them to someone."

Cadance gave her breasts another squeezed before she gracefully moved her hands down to the big bulge in my pants. Knowing what was going to come next, I bit my lip and watched as Cadance reached for the elastic of my pants. She motioned one of her hands over the bulge and lightly tapped it, the slightest touch nearly making me bounce.

"Mmmm, feels nice and hard." Cadance chirped.

I braced myself as Cadance pulled my pants down and felt a tingling sensation of freedom. My erection immediately shot up in the air, released from its restraint. Cadance pulled the rest of my garments off before they vanished in a flash of magic and materialized on the bed she was supposed be sleeping in.

"So, what do we have here today?" beamed Cadance, eyeing my erect manhood.

I gulped as she nudged her face closer to expect my member, her breath tingling it with anticipation.

"Looks good to me." Cadance purred.

She brought one of her gloved hands forward and extended a finger. After a small pause to be keep me on my toes, she quickly brushed her finger up the base of my member.

I gritted my teeth as a jolt of pleasure immediately traveled through my body.

"You like that, don't you?" winked Cadance. She continued to rub my shaft up and down with her gloved finger, not taking a single break.

I kicked my head back as Cadance quickened her pace, massaging my hard boner with the tip of her finger. She spiced things up by adding another digit to the mix every few moments, multiplying the pleasure I felt until she used her palm as well. The texture of her elbow gloves wrapping around my dick only added to the wonderful sensation.

The pace at which she stroked my dick quickened like she was rubbing lotion on her beautiful body rather than treating a delicate object as before. All the while, she was smiling innocently at me as if there wasn't any sexual intercourse within the room.

Kicking it up a notch, Cadance went from merely stroking my manhood to wrapping her hand around it and giving it a good squeeze. Being caught off guard, I nearly jumped at the feeling.

As she loved seeing me squirm, Cadance continued to squeeze my base to elicit a yelp from each time. Her pattern wasn't consistent, so I could never tell when she'd give my manhood a good tug and drive me into ecstasy.

For a brief moment, Cadance didn't squeeze and instead stuck a bit of her tongue out and gave me a devilish smile. Before I could ask why she stopped, she clenched her hand with all her might and held that grip for a good few moments.

I let out a loud gasp as Cadance pulled hard on my shaft, finally letting relaxing her fingers once she decided I had enough. She didn't let go of my gender however, and then began to rock her grip from my base to my head in an up and down pattern.

"F-faster." I muttered as Cadance began jerking me off.

She nodded and picked up her pace, her grip travelling towards my sex with immense fury like it wanted to pop out my load of semen instantly. The feeling of her gloves caressing me was soothing as well and made my cock dance with feelings of arousal.

Cadance continued her handjob by dragging my dick in multiple directions from one side to the other. Never once did she let her grip falter when masturbating me.

The quick feelings were so intense and arousing that I doubted anyone could top the Princess of Love at her own game. After a few heated seconds of Cadance jerking me off, she let me go and gave my member a few seconds to breathe and relax.

It wasn't long however for Cadance to notice that a drop of pre cum had escaped the head. Licking her lips, Cadance moved her face towards her prize.

Once again, I could feel her breathing caressing and tickling my member as Cadance closed in on my boner. She flashed a lovely smile before she closed her eyes and gently struck her tongue forward.

I shivered in delight the second I felt the tip of her tongue probe my head. The wet texture of her tongue sent a tingle of arousal down my dick that ceased once Cadance quickly scooped up the drop of pre cum and retracted it back to her mouth.

"Mmm, tastes amazing." mused Cadance as she swallowed the drop.

She opened her eyes again, puckered her lips and planted a sweet kiss on the helmet of my member. Her smooth lips felt just as good on my sex as they did on my lips.

Cadance lowered her face, kissing my erection from tip to shaft with embraces that were quick and ticklish or long and arousing. Nearing my base, she ended it with a big juicy embrace on the shaft.

She progressed to the next step of her blowjob and slowly extended her tongue and wrapped it around my shaft. I could feel the texture of her tongue engulfing my shaft and coating me with its wet embrace.

Her tongue stayed wrapped around my erection for a good few seconds, Cadance never breaking eye contact all the while. Even when committing such dirty acts, she still looked fair and lovely.

Cadance then dragged her tongue up my rod like it was a popsicle, savoring the taste running down her mouth. She then slowly dragged her tongue back down my base and brought it up once more while I shivered in ecstasy. She repeated the motion multiple times, coating my dick with the wet embrace of her tongue.

She played with my manhood by flicking it back and forth with her tongue for a few moments before she delivered one final long lick from base to head.

Just as I thought she was going to start sucking, Cadance pulled her head back and raised an eyebrow. She grabbed both of her busty breasts and sunk her fingers into them, or at least tried to given their firm and large form.

"I think we're going to need something bigger for this job." she said as she rubbed the well endowed pair against each other. Cadance spread her breasts to expose her cleavage and darted it towards my erect manhood.

She looked looked up at me as the tip of my member poked at her tits. "How long have you been waiting for this?"

"Quite a while actually." I hummed.

I gritted my teeth as my erection began to disappear in Cadance's cleavage, fastened in place by the mounds of her breasts. The feeling of having my dick sandwiched between her bosom was a sensation I couldn't describe.

It was definitely tight between her breasts, but the feeling of her supple firm mounds beating against my dick sent more pleasure than pain throughout my body. Given the immense size of Cadance's bosom, there was no trace of erection inside of her, just two large breasts concealing her prize.

Cadance herself had her eyes closed with a sensual smile on her face, no doubt aroused by the feeling of my hard dick fucking her chest. Her tight cleavage and large breasts were more than good enough to hold my dick in place while she used her free hands to fix her hair.

"Mmm, my boobs just love your cock." mused Cadance. She opened her eyes and shot me a naughty smile.

"I think they ought to give it a little hug." She placed her hands on her breasts once more and pressed them together.

A jolt of both pain and pleasure shot from my waist through my body as my dick was assaulted by her chest. Her breasts engulfed my cock with all their might, their voluptuous form being too much for my erection to handle.

Yet, there was also a great feeling of pleasure as well. The pleasurable feeling of my cock fucking pair of boobs was only multiplied as Cadance sandwiched her mounds onto them with all her might. All the while, Cadance was giggling. She obviously amused on what had to be a stupid expression on my face as I submitted to the strength of her well endowed tracks of land engulfing my manhood.

Just as I felt like my cock was about to break, Cadance relaxed her hands, in turn loosening the grip her breasts had on my sex.

"Feeling better?" she playfully asked.

"Yeah." I sighed, breathing deeply. "Could we do that again?"

Cadance raised an eyebrow and grabbed her breasts once more. "What was that dear?"

"Could you do that again?" I nervously requested.

"Of course Levy." smiled Cadance, who once more compressed both of her breasts on my dick.

I kicked head my back as Cadance's bosom fucked my erection with all of its well endowed might. This time, my body was ready and I hardly felt any pain at all.

Moaning furiously at each tug of her breasts, I closed my eyes to lose myself in the voluptuous feeling encompassing my dick and spreading throughout my body. Cadance herself was groaning cries of pleasure that intensified as her breasts hugged my boner harder.

Cadance began to slide both of her breasts up and down, massaging my shaft with the perky skin of her mounds. Waves of arousal overflowed through my body as my sex was caressed and squeezed by giant tracks of land.

Cadance quickened the pace at which she dragged her breasts up and down my base and head, wanting me to shoot out as much of my cum as I could. As I opened my eyes, I felt that her desire was about to come true.

I gritted my teeth at the overwhelming feeling of my dick being both compressed and caressed by Cadance's chest. "C-C-Cadence, I think I'm going to..."

"Say no more." replied Cadance. She spread her breasts and gently guided my dick out of her cleavage, still erect, if a little red from being titfucked hard.

Giving my manhood a quick moment of rest, Cadance gently brought her face towards my cock once more and licked her lips, her breathing on my dick far more intense that it was before.

Unable to wait for her treat any longer Cadance wrapped her tongue around the base of my dick once more, giving me a much needed wet feeling to cool off after her breasts assaulted my cock.

Cadance puckered her lips and began to descend her mouth onto my erection. I shook in ecstasy as she guided more and more my cock into her mouth, a moist feeling slowly encompassing it. Soon enough, her lips reached the bottom of my dick's base, and she promptly sealed her lips tight around it.

I jumped back as I felt her firm lips enclosed my boner and Cadance began sucking. With my dick in her mouth, she used her lips to tug my dick back towards her as she enthusiastically waited for it to fire its contents.

She picked up the pace at which she contracted her lips, caressing and tickling the base of my shaft while the rest of her mouth pulled my dick forward. All the while, her tongue remained firmly in place to support my erection up.

Cadance's suckings became harder and harder and longer longer, each tug from her mouth eliciting a moan arousal from me in response. Sensing I was close to my orgasm, she began lightly nibbling my shaft with the tip of her teeth.

"Cadance!" I cried. "I-I'm going to-"

Finally, I came into her mouth. A stream of cum shot from my dick that was happily swallowed by Cadance. She closed her eyes and focused on running semen flowing through her mouth and down her throat, savoring the taste and the immense quantity coming out of me. Cadance's lips remained firmly enclosed on my dick, the insides of her mouth sealing my cock tight as to not let any cum escape her.

Just as the last burst ran down shot through her throat, Cadance gracefully retracted her head and licked the remaining semen off her lips.

She twirled her hair with her gloved fingers and opened her eyes. "Hmm, that was amazing, huh Lev?"

"Y-yeah." I gasped, my head knocking back against the frame of my bed.

I looked back at the rest of my body, still seeing that my dick was hard. "Wow, I didn't know I could last that long."

"Actually, you can't." Cadance innocently. "It's one of the perks of making love to the Princess of Love."

"What?" I frowned. "How.."

I was cut off by Cadance planting a kiss on my cheek and moving her knees and waist towards me. I relented and moved my body accordingly to where Cadance was directing me. The two of us adjusted our positions until I found Cadance standing up straight on her knees with my mouth right in front of her shorts that were soaking wet with her arousal.

From the position alone, I knew where this was going. My expectations were confirmed when I heard a loud *RIP* and saw Cadance twirling her ripped shorts on her fingers.

Cadance tossed the shorts to the side bed and finally took off her gloves, leaving herself completely naked as her curvy body glowed in the light.

She brought a finger on the top of my head and nudged my face down where I found myself staring directly at her moist womanhood, leaking wet with her fluids of arousal. A strong scent was emitted straight from her passage that filled my nostrils. I couldn't describe the smell, but it sent me further into ecstasy like never before.

Cadance brought both her hands on my elbow and brought her waist forward, the tip of my nose nudging against her wet sex. I took a deep breath to take in whatever smell was being emitted by her pussy, whether it was a normal feeling or another aspect of her love magic was no matter to me.

"Clean it." said Cadance.

"What?" I replied.

Cadance emphasized her dripping womanhood and sweet voice. "I got oh so wet from giving you a blow job, so it's time you return the favor and clean me up."

I said what no Arstrotzkan Political Officer was allowed to say. "Anything for you, my Princess."

I stuck my tongue out and after a brief moment of hesitation, slowly dragged it top to bottom all across Cadance's pussy. Her leaking juices coated my tongue while Cadance shivered in delight at my tongue's wet rough texture. Finally, I retracted my tongue from her sex and ran the fluids of her arousal down my throat, savoring its great taste.

Wanting to hold Cadance in place before I cleaned her sex further, I brought both my hands around Cadance's waist and did what I had always wanted to do. I finally moved my hands down her hips and grabbed her huge round lovebutt with all the force I could muster.

"Oh!" squealed Cadance as she jerked her hips forward upon being groped in the ass. Her glossy pussy smacked against my lips which I returned with a long firm kiss.

Cadance rocked her head back and moaned she felt my lips embrace her womanhood. I sunk my fingers into her perky ass as my lips kissed her vaginal ones, delicious fluids of ecstasy sticking all over my mouth.

As I made out with her pussy, my fingers decided to explore her plentiful behind. In a repeating motion, my palms slid across the supple mounds of Cadance's ass to her her hips where her cutie mark was and back to her rear once more. Her voluptuous ass was plentiful with so much space for me to explore and my hands reveled in the feeling of her smooth perky bottom.

Overwhelmed by my tongue driving into her pussy and me massaging her ass, Cadance let out shrieks of bliss. She closed her eyes to revel in the sensations scattering from her waist through her body. Her arousal intensified and her pussy dripped more and more, strengthening the scent of her seductive aroma.

Cadance's love juices coated my lips, leaving them sticky and nearly shutting them closed. With her pussy so close to my face, there was little I could do other than deliver it long passionate kisses. All the while, my hands alternated between sinking its fingers into Cadance's firm ass or rubbing its palms all across the bountifully endless butt cheeks.

Cadance retracted her hips, giving me a quick second to breath and lick off any of her fluids that stained across my face. Once I had gotten a hold of myself, I knew it was time to finish the job and go in. I groped Cadance's ass with all my might and dragged her hips forward to me.

Wasting no time, I delivered a long passionate lick all across are womanhood to make sure the entrance to her passage was nice and clean. I used the tip of my tongue to lightly spread apart her vaginal lips to open forth the rest of her passageway.

Cadance's hips vibrated in anticipation as she felt my tongue poked against her sex and part her entrance. She increased her grip on my elbows as my tongue began to work my way inside of her.

Holding onto her ass for support, I finally managed to penetrate my tongue into her vaginal folds. Her inside was tight, so it was best to ready her for the inevitable penetration by opening her up with my tongue.

The passage of her inner vaginal walls made my tongue explode will flavor as the fluids inside of her stuck to it. I tried to burrow as much of my tongue into her as possible, but it wasn't long before it got strained by its tightness.

I hastily retracted my tongue and swallowed Cadance's liquid arousal down my throat. Giving my tongue a few seconds to relax, I placed my lips around her pussy once more before I drove my tongue into her moist womanhood once more. This time, I my tongue manged to burrow deeper into her and explore more of her insides.

Back and forth, I moved my tongue in and out of Cadance's pussy, each time my tongue being able to go in deeper and stay inside of her longer. All the while, I tightened my grip on her voluptuous ass to keep her hips in place as each penetration from my tongue caused Cadance to shake and moan in delight. Even her cool exterior was beginning to be cracked.

Finally, I manged to penetrate a significant portion of my tongue into her and held my tongue inside of her for a pretty considerable time. So deep into her, Cadance let out a loud cry of arousal and nearly rocked her body backwards. Multiplying the arousal she felt, I tried swirling my tongue inside of her tight walls, tickling her on the inside as well.

Right as I felt that Cadance was about to cum, I felt her retract her hips back. Hastily but gently, my mouth pulled out of her womanhood. I looked up at Cadance to see what was the deal, where she was panting furiously with a tender smile on her face.

She looked into my eyes and winked. "I think it's time we wrap this up."

She nudged her body back a bit to readjust her position, her hands still on my elbows. Her hips moved moved away from my chest and towards my waist, where my still erect boner poked at her damp pussy.

Always wanting to look as graceful as possible, Cadance fixed her hair so I could get a clear view of her face as entered the final stage of our love making.

Not wanting to strain my elbows, I hesitantly moved my hands from from her well endowed ass up to her buxom chest where her giant pair of tits waited for me. I traced my fingers across the perky firm mounds and played with her nipples before I finally gave the pair a good old squeeze and pulled Cadance down.

Cadance rewarded me with a kiss as her head jerked forward and tightened her grip on my elbows. As I looked into her warm purple eyes, Cadance adjust the position of her waist until I could feel the tip of my cock brushing against her moist vaginal lips.

Having lubricated each other's sex, I figured the penetration go smoothly for however long it would last. With one final kiss from Cadance, she lowered her waist forward, feeling my manhood's helmet rub against her entrance.

She bit her lip in hesitation, which I quenched with a reassuring smile and a relaxing massage on her breasts. Feeling soothed, Cadance continued on with the penetration and let out a cry the second my tip was finally submerged inside of her. I myself jerked my head to the side as my the tip of my dick was grasped hard by Cadance's walls.

Her expression quickly changed from one of mild discomfort to something of relaxation and bliss, embracing the feeling of my manhood inside of her. It took a slightly longer time for me to adjust as well, but now I felt pure ecstasy from being inside of her rather than sharp pain.

We took a few more seconds to adjust before Cadance continued to lower her hips. Every few seconds, more of my cock would be engulfed by her vaginal folds and our arousal only intensified. We took frequent breaks in between to make out and relax before the penetration would be furthered.

Any pain we we felt had finally vanished as the majority of my length had finally entered her. Waves of pleasure traveled from my cock through the rest of my body as it was squeezed by Cadance's contracting vaginal walls. All the while, I helped her relax by caressing her breasts with the tips of my fingers.

Cadance was groaning furiously with arousal as she felt the near entirety of my cock sink deep inside her vaginal passage. The feeling of having something big and hard inside of her sent fireworks of ecstasy up her body as she closed her eyes to revel in the feeling. It was tight inside of her, but it mattered little and I returned her the favor by sinking my fingers deeper into her breasts as their firm frame would allow me.

Finally, the full length of my shaft had made its way into Cadance, who let out a gasp of ecstasy as she reveled in my erection's size. She took a moment to adjust herself as her insides of her womanhood contracted furiously onto my cock to send sharp waves of pleasure through ourbodies.

Sensing I was about to fire my load of semen, Cadance's suggestively smirked, deciding that she would finish this off with grandeur flare.

Cadance reinforced her grip on my elbows and I reinforced the grip on her breasts. After a quick peck on my forehead, Cadance began rocking her hips back and forth. I clenched my teeth as my cock inside of her began to be jerked back and forth by her tight vaginal walls.

Cadance picked up her pace and rocked her hips in multiple directions with all her force. I let out moans of bliss as my cock was squeezed and jerked hard by Cadance's insides while she too cried at the hard boner penetrating her.

I held onto her voloptus breasts for dear life and to keep her steady in place as she shook her hips and bounced her ass onto my legs. I could sense my climax coming soon and tried to keep it in for as long as possible.

Desperate to milk my cock of its seed, Cadance didn't stop rocking her hips for a second and continued to send ecstasy down my body that only the Princess of love could send.

I gritted my teeth and squeezed Cadance's buxom chest with all my might. "Cadance...I think I'm gonna.."

Cadance jerked her body forward and sat up straight. Held up by high by her vaginal walls, my cock twitched and we finally came. A burst of semen ejaculated from my cock and coated her insides, coating them with my seed while Cadance's own fluids glazed my own boner as well.

Filled up with love juices, Cadance let out a large moan and relaxed her body, allowing me to pull her well endowed mounds down and bring her closer to me.

A few more spurts of cum were fired from my cock for a few more seconds, and finally began to relax inside of Cadance.

The two of us gasped for air in the midst of our climaxes. I finally let go of her large breasts to give them some air after holding onto them so tightly. Freed, Cadance pulled her body back to get a hold of herself.

My erection began to falter, but was still hard enough to cork Cadance's entrance and prevent any cum stored in her from flowing out. Calming down, I finally looked looked up at her face, still as cheery and lovely as ever even after the intense love making.

Cadance looked at me with a smile and calmly spoke. "T-thank you Levy."

She brought her face forward once again and pulled me into a simple, but passionate kiss.

We held the kiss for a long moment before our lips unglued from each other. Her face still touching mine, I looked into those purple eyes I adored oh so much.

"I don't know what to say." I chuckled, still making eye contact with her.

Cadance nuzzled my cheek. "Mmm, how about the best night of your life?"

"Definitely." I grinned.

Cadance brushed her face across my cheek to my mouth for another kiss. She finally slid her knees back to lie down on me, her bare long legs locking with mine while her breasts descended onto my chest. The large perky pair was a little heavy on my top, but it wasn't a problem at all.

Taking the opportunity to do what I wanted throughout this ordeal, I raised my hands and spanked Cadance's sizable lovebutt with full force.

Caught off guard, she broke off the kiss and yelped, but quickly laughed it off. At least I got that temptation out of my system. She used her magic to bring the blanket over us and tuck us into bed.

My dick still penetrating her, we adjusted our position until we comfortable. Cadance wrapped her hands around my neck and gently held onto me while I continued to rub her back and rear the was she liked it.

Cadance glanced at a clock on the side table. "We'll have more than enough time to sleep and get ready for the conference tomorrow."

"I never thought I'd end the night like this." I added, still brushing my hands across Cadance's behind.

She winked at me. "We're here for a week, so we'll have plenty of time of love making."

Cadance kissed me for the final time that night. As we held the embrace, I continued to caress her back until she drifted to sleep.

With her beautiful face and body on top of mine, I quietly fell asleep myself.

Actually Not The Only Chapter

6 months later

My comrades and I walked out of the Commissariat, chatting on and on about our usual business. As typical for the average Moscolt Winter, we were all blasted by a wave of cold wind that flapped our uniforms and blew straight into our faces. Thanks to our heavy coats, ski masks, bullet proof goggles as well as our people's natural hardiness against the freezing weather, we were impacted very little and simply continued on.

"I can't believe I'm going to go back to border duty in Maredlovsk soon." shook comrade Commissar Georgy Kalashnikov Jr, referring to our Easternmost city. "Those damn southern Yak tribes still act like they own our country like they did before the revolution. And that's nothing to say about those smugglers who think they can ship in contraband they stole from Neighpon or Ponsia."

"Didn't your dad, Georgy Sr. once try to trick the famed Inspector years ago by pretending to come from the fake country of Trobrastan?" I smirked.

I could tell Georgy's pale skin was turning red under his balaclava. "Yes, and I have to endure his role as a dumb comic relief in every adaption of the EZIC fiasco. Trust me, I'm only in the Ministry Of Admissions to restore our family's honor."

"Come now comrade." said Commissar Tigran Mikoyan. "You're serving the Arstrotzkan collective good. That's the greatest honor you could achieve."

"Easy for you to say Tigran." muttered Georgy. "You got deployed to Marevan to oversee feuds and squash corruption in the brandy making collectives. I would have killed to get that job if it weren't for me trying to redeem my bumbling father."

"Sorry Georgy, but I'm afraid you don't know the old dialect or alphabet those in the southern Coltcasus regions still use. Better leave it to an expert like me." bragged Tigran.

"At least be glad you weren't deployed to Maremasnk." I remarked. "Nice city northern city and all, but Ice Giants, Changelings, and Vikings jacked up on dark Scandineighvian magic make for a pretty depressing military garrison."

"Oh please, that would be a blessing." laughed Georgy. "I'm no psychopath, but it would be amusing watching those Ice Giants and vikings go down effortlessly against our artillery and tank battalions."

"That, and we'd be in the presence of some of the loveliest lady Commissars ever, like your cousin Lev." added Tigran.

"Or your sister." I snapped back, causing Tigran to chuckle.

I sighed at the mention. My older cousin had made a name for herself in both her high achievements in the Commissariat academy and on the Northern Peninsula's battlefields. She, like most other female Commissars, were sent to the northern regions as female Arstrotzkans could handle the cold better than the men due to their stronger bodies. As Arstrotzkan foot soldiers in north were mostly young, unmarried and heterosexual men however, it didn't take a genius to know how their political officers boosted morale in the frigid regions.

"If anyone is going to keep morale high in that remote hellhole, it's those fine beauties." smiled Georgy under his mask.

Suddenly a voice called out to me.

"Commissar Ulyanov!" snapped a voice I knew all too well.

We faced the direction of the voice and immediately raised our left hands in a clenched fist salute, the official sign of solidarity among the people of Arstrotzka.

"At ease comrades." greeted the figure otherwise known as Major Commissar Ivan Rykov, a respected officer and student of the fearsome M. Vonel during the EZIC crisis. "I trust you had good things to say in your reports to the Commissariat?"

"Of course Comrade Major." nodded Tigran. "The Brandy collectives have been producing faster than ever since the beverage finally exploded in popularity in the North."

"Oh, but I bet the workers in the Vodka collectives won't like that." laughed Rykov. "We better hope they don't start hiring mercenaries to beat out competition." He wasn't wearing a mask, thus exposing his mustached face and streams of saliva onto our masks.

After I wiped his spit off of my goggles, he finally calmed down.

"Is there a reason you called my name Comrade Major?" I asked.

"Why yes Ulyanov, or can I call you Lev?" replied Rykov.

"Whatever works." I shrugged.

"Well Lev, me being a Major Commissar in the Ministry of Information in our glorious capital of Moscolt means I have the honor of being forwarded information sent in from highly ranked individuals." told Rykov.

He took out an envelope. "This morning, I happened to be forwarded a letter to you from a very prestigious individual."

"A letter?" I muttered, grabbing the envelope. "Who here still uses tho......."

My mouth hang agape upon seeing who sent the letter.

Tigran and Georgy took one look at the letter and I could tell they were smiling haughtily under their balaclavas.

"Princess Cadance?" I muttered. "I haven't heard from her since..."

"You betrayed the working class by soliciting with royalty?" joked Georgy.

"I didn't betray the working people of my nation and a Commissar like you should know better than to invest time in some petty bourgeois gossip." I retorted.

I remembered that week thoroughly everyday. The week I had spent with Cadance in the world summit where I first made love to her in our hotel room. While my passion was in politics, it seemed all I could remember about that week was whenever we had sex during our private hours. Those thoughtful and intimate instances on the beach, in the shower or in bed made me somewhat regret never trying to pursue my relationship with her further.

Although we did those deeds in private, it didn't take a genius to know that's how me and Cadance spent our nights during that summit. In our defense though, we hardly the only diplomatic couple there. Thankfully only my friends seemed to tease me about it.

"Ah that banter of yours." shook Rykov with a grin. "You remind me of me and my friends when we were just young comrades ready to make the world a better place."

I opened the letter and read its contents.

"Does she want you to defect to Equestria in the name of love?" teased Tigran.

I ignored him and finished reading the letter. I looked up at Rykov. "She wants me to have dinner with her, Princess Celestia and a few other Equestrian nobles tomorrow night in Canterlot."

"Well I don't see why we should deny her the opportunity to dine with a Commissar like you." smiled Rykov.

"But sir, don't I have to go back to working in Moscolt in the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs in a few hours?" I replied.

"Comrade Sargent," sighed Rykov. "Your role is to do whatever is necessary for the sake of our glorious People's Republic in the sphere of foreign policy. There is no reason whatsoever for you to deny a relationship with a foreign Princess."

"Relationship?" I gulped as my friends snickered. "Major Commissar sir, this is probably just a dinner and we haven't actually gotten there even though we've...you know...."

"Well, you better get to it and this dinner should be the perfect opportunity!" beamed Rykov.

"But isn't having a relationship with a Princess from a semi feudal nation considered class treason?" I questioned.

"Think about it like this comrade." pointed Rykov. "Equestria might not be a huge global power, but not only will you be bridging that gap between our two nations, but you will also have access to information about the Equestrian crown that we may need and will be further legitimizing collectivist and egalitarian ideals to the Equestrian public."

"Not to mention we won't have to worry about Cadance producing a new royal line of Equestrian monarchs." added Tigran.

"Right you are comrade." nodded Rykov.

"Wouldn't I be somehow using Cadance for the sake of national goals by doing this?" I inquired.

"Not at all." answered Rykov. "There was obviously something between you two and a good Commissar ought not to suppress possibilities especially when they can greatly benefit our public."

I blushed underneath my mask. "Very well then."

"Good!" exclaimed Rykov. "We've prepared a train ticket for you that will depart tomorrow morning for Canterlot. You should arrive in the royal palace by 7 and have some time to settle in the castle before you have dinner at 7:30."

"I'm guessing I can't opt out of this right?" I grinned under my balaclava.

"Not unless you don't want to remain true to yourself and deny our nation this important opportunity." inferred Rykov.

I smiled happily. "Well, Cadance is without a doubt the greatest girl I've ever known....for a monarch."

Tigran patted me on the back. "Do us proud lover boy."

"And please stick it to whatever Canterlot snob you encounter. Raise some class consciousness while you can." encouraged Georgy.

"Will do comrades. Will do." I assured.

"Just so you know, we've sent the tickets to you via mail and are prepared to send in an Arstrotzkan Security Vanguard Detachment member for your safety." noted Rykov.

"I'm sure I won't need an ASVD member sir. It's Equestria for crying out loud." I insisted.

"Eh, you never know what that bourgeois paradise of Canterlot might turn up." shrugged Rykov.

"Plus, the Ministry Of Information was probably just going to send an agent there to collect information anyway." muttered Georgy.

"Well that settles it. Now if I were you three, I'd get out of this freezing cold all up in my face." said Rykov.

"Sir, you know you can wear a balaclava right?" pointed Tigran to his mask.

Rykov looked insulted. "And what? Deny people the opportunity to gaze at this?"

He began twirling his mustache and made his way. "Glory to Arstrotzka!"

We raised our left fists. "Glory to Arstrotzka!"

My friends shared their parting words with me and headed their own individual routes. I began making my way to my Moscolt apartment, re reading Cadance's letter the entire time in the snowy streets.

It had been a while since I last saw her, and never before had I considered fully entering into a committed relationship with her. A part of me thought it would be a fruitless effort to try and start up a relationship with her considering I was a die hard collectivist and she was a Princess. Or there was the fact that she probably didn't see me as a true romantic interest and I was about to go make a normal dinner awkward.

Still, a part of me felt that I wanted this more than anything.

Two days earlier

Cadance took a deep sigh, lying on her bed face up and staring aimlessly at the ceiling of her room. She was clad in her usual night clothes; a pink shirt, elbow gloves, knee high socks and blue shorts. After a long day of managing Canterlot policy, it felt like a blessing to slip out of her dress and lie on a soft mattress.

Although her productivity never sank, she now found herself thinking about a certain Arstrotzkan political officer for the past month during her free time and work.

It all started when she came back from that world summit where she made love to Lev in their hotel room for the first time. During that erotic and eventful week, they had made it clear to each other that they didn't see each other as romantic partners, but rather as really passionate and close friends.

When she returned to Equestria, she expected to continue dating Shining Armor again, only to discover that he had been redeployed to Hoofington. One final date later where they agreed to break it off at that point, and Shining boarded a train away from Canterlot. Last Cadance had heard from his parents, he had already begun seeing another girl.

On one hand, Cadance felt happy that Shining would be able to find love and move on from her. Not to mention, she wouldn't have to explain losing her virginity to an Arstrotzkan Commissar to him. On the other hand, she felt a sense of disappointment that her fling with Shining didn't go past being a brief post high school crush. She had since accepted however, that it was all that was going to amount to now.

Now in her arms she clutched a toy bear, clad in a green Arstrotzkan cadet uniform. She remembered receiving it as a gift from Lev when they were just children, who explained that the bear was one of their national symbols and made for a popular toy among the youth.

It was a sweet gift, albeit one that caused some concern among her friends, almost all of which were part of the elite Canterlot background. The Arstrotzkan government no doubt despised every last one of the aristocracy, and Cadance had to always think of ways to change the subject whenever someone would find out about her relationship with Lev.

She took a deep sigh as she continued to think and stare aimlessly at her ceiling, clutching the teddy bear tight. A large part of her was regretting not pursing her relationship with Lev, which she was now beginning to realize was motivated out of a fear that he would reject her out of his sense of collective duty. Cadance wondered what would have happened on that passionate week had she just asked to officially become his girlfriend.

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door, the pattern of which instantly brought a smile to her face. She sprinted to the door and opened it with her gloved hand.

Cadance greeted her guests with joy. "Hi auntie!"

In front of her was her 'aunt', Princess Celestia, the Alicorn of the sun and leader of Equestria. She stood at an impressive height and as usual, was clad in a brilliant white dress that hugged her voluptuous form, with silk white elbow gloves and her golden crown to match. Being a naturally born Alicorn, her tri colored hair sparkled and waved in an ethereal manner.

Celestia spoke with her warm motherly voice. "Hello Cadance, I think there is someone who wants to see you."

Cadance smirked. "Oh, but of course."

She looked down and next to Celestia was the most precious little girl in the universe, Twilight Sparkle. The little sister of Shining Armor who had a heap of magical talent inside her. It was funny to think how the girl she babysat would end up becoming Celestia's protege, but the world did indeed work in mysterious ways.

"Cadance!" chirped the young Twilight. Cadance wasted no time in crouching down and hugging her favorite little girl in the world. When they met in the mornings, they'd break into their little handshake, but in the nights greetings were kept simple.

Twilight let go of Cadance and started talking rapidly. "You won't believe happened today! We were practicing freezing things and so we started out with me freezing tiny little things like pins and plants, but at the end of the day, I ended up sealing the entire throne room in ice!"

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "The entire throne room you say? I hope no one was hurt."

Twilight defensively shook her head. "Nu-uh. Safety first. No one was in the room except for me and Princess Celestia."

"That's my girl." giggled Cadance. "I'm telling you auntie, Twilight is destined for great things."

Celestia folded her arms under her impressive wrack. "Indeed. Things beyond our imaginations may soon become a reality with her."

Twilight wrapped her arms around Cadance once more. "I'm so sorry, but I have to go to bed now. We'll see each other tomorrow right?"

"Of course we will." assured Cadance.

"Yay!" squealed the young Twilight, bouncing up and down. She was a genius, but still an utterly precious child as well.

The next thing she knew, Cadance saw a maid come to Twilight and start escorting her to her room. She and Celestia watched the pair until they moved out of sight, where Cadance turned her attention to her aunt.

"Auntie Celestia, may I share something with you that's on my mind?" asked Cadance.

Celestia smiled and nodded affectionately. "Of course my dear."

Cadance ginned and she and Celestia walked into her room. She lifted a hand to cast a spell over the door to magically seal it tight.

Cadance took a deep breath and grabbed her pink shirt before slowly peeling off, leaving her voluptuous top with just a pink bra. Ever since she became of age past 16, she frequently slept in lingerie, both because she couldn't comfortably sleep fully clothed and because it was allegedly an old Princess tradition the same way Princes slept only in their briefs.

Sure enough, Celestia followed suit by taking off the straps of her white dress one by one, causing her silky white garment to fall to her knees and leaving her in lingerie too. Celestia's pale white skin glowed under the light and her tall buxom figure was something to be admired. Her lacy white bra looked like it was about to break free with the largest breasts that Cadance had ever known while her thigh high socks complimented her impressive legs greatly.

Had they been actual blood relatives, things could have been super awkward, but Cadance had since seen Celestia as both a trusted friend as well as a family member at the same time.

"So," said Celestia picking up her white dress and teleporting it away, no doubt to her room. "What is it that you have on your mind?"

Cadance sat on her bed and sighed. "You remember Lev right? The Arstrotzkan I met when I was just a kid?"

Celestia placed a gloved finger on her lip and nodded. "Ah yes, Commissar Lev Vissarinovich Ulyanov. You know, I always pictured that you two would end up getting together, even amid our nations' ideological differences or your fling with Twilight's brother."

"Well..." Cadance trailed off as she reached for the Arstrotzkan teddy bear and hugged it close to her chest, causing Celestia's eyes to widen in surprise.

"The thing is," remarked Cadance. "I've actually been thinking a lot about Lev ever since I came back from the world summit."

"Well of course you would." laughed Celestia, placing two gloved hands on her bare belly. "You and him spent an interesting week during that trip, no thanks to me of course."

Cadance blushed. "It's not just that auntie. When I got back from the summit only to find out that Shining Armor was leaving for Hoofington, I expected him to be on mind the entire time."

Cadance took a deep sigh. "It almost seemed perfect. An inspiring royal guard and brother of Twilight....Shining really seemed like the person I'd eventually get married to."

"But now you find yourself thinking about Lev." Celestia hope onto Cadance's bed and sat down next to her, causing her breasts to wobble and jiggle with the sheer speed at which she moved.

"At first I thought I only saw Lev as a passionate friend whose priorities meant that it was impossible for me to pursue a relationship with." explained Cadance. "But now, I'm beginning to think I actually loved him this entire time. Even more than Shining."

Celestia flexed her ethereal her and stretched her body forward, causing her bra to nearly burst and free her voluptuous pair. "It makes sense, you two knew each other since childhood and have been there for each other despite massive national and cultural divisions. On the other hand, Shining Armor, even if he was Twilight's brother, was just a high school sweetheart crush and those relationships tend to burn quickly."

"Lev's been on my mind for quite a while now." muttered Cadnce. "I should have figured that he meant something a whole lot more to me when I decided to have sex with him on that night."

"So why don't you write him a message expressing your feelings? I'm sure that ought to help your case." suggested Celestia.

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "True, but do you really think he'd even accept me? I mean, he's probably massively into Collectivist ideology and won't even consider romance, much less with a Princess. What do you think?"

Celestia smiled. "First, I think that's the luckiest little bear in the planet."

Cadance looked down and saw the head of her Arstrotzkan teddy smothered by the cleavage of her under boobs. Blushing, she set the stuffed plush bear next to her on her bead.

"Second of all, I think it's pretty clear that if no one batted an eye when you made love to Lev," Celestia blushed. "Or whenever I got intimate with an Arstrotzkan Premier over the decades, that no one from their side will be against you getting together with a political officer."

"Well, your encounters weren't exactly meant to go anywhere right?" pointed Cadance. Indeed, she knew about her aunt's promiscuous relationship with many of the leaders of the great powers, the only men ever who seemed to not either fear or be unsettled by her enough to not mind screwing around with her during diplomatic visits.

In fact, Cadance got the idea from Celestia to even have sex with Lev in the first place. Not as something meant to be taken too seriously, but as a sort of thanks for being with her throughout her life. Now, she wanted something much more out of that.

Celestia playfully stoked a lock of Cadance's hair. "Come now Cadance, I'm sure you and Lev were just scared to admit your feelings. I on the other hand was just making the most of my immortality with leaders who would otherwise settle into proper relationships after their term."

"Do you think that starting something with Lev is worth a shot?" asked Cadance.

"Of course it is. I might not know him as well as you do, but I'm sure he probably feels the same way about you deep down." replied Celestia.

"You do know how much attention this is going to attract though right?" noted Cadance.

"To be honest Cadance, I believe that you getting into a relationship with Lev would be a God send for the Arstrotzkan People's Republic anyway." suggested Celestia.

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "How come?"

"You remember Equestrian law right?" reminded Celestia. "No one can become royalty or an Alicorn unless they are born an Equestrian into the monarchy or have ascended to alicornhood. As Lev is not a national Equestrian, he can't marry into legal nobility. As he's also a non magical Terran human, any child you would have with him would be a non magical Terran human as well."

"Oh, so now we're talking kids huh?" chuckled Cadance. "It does make sense though. If Lev did get with me, the Arstrotzkan Collectivist government wouldn't have to worry about a new line of royals to deal with."

"And even though Arstrotzka is a world power, their people for some reason still see us royals as some sort of global elite, so I'd imagine they'd find a way to propagandize your future relationship as some sort of class victory." inferred Celestia.

"I suppose your right." agreed Cadance, thinking about the amusing implications. "But what about the Equestrians?"

Celestia's face sank. "To be honest, I think our own people might be the bigger issue to deal with."

Cadance shook her head. "I've already gotten some heat with my friends for being close to Lev and a few of his 'comrades', so to enter an outright relationship with him, or even to get married with him would provoke some notable negative reactions."

"Well, why don't we start building a bridge right now?" suggested Celestia.

"And by that, you mean dating Lev to reduce tensions between our countries?" replied Cadance.

"Exactly." answered Celestia. "If things were to work out between you and Lev, a lot of the common people of Equestria will no longer see Arstrotzka as a looming threat representing radical ideas and technological supremacy over magic. True, the tiny Equestrian elite will still most likely be against it because you will be dating a Collectivist and non Equestrian, but I vouch that they won't attempt to do anything rash to enrage a nation that hates them for their class status alone."

"So, I guess dating Lev will be a good thing for our country as a whole too right?" smiled Cadance.

"Indeed. We'll have improved relations with a superpower and Arstrotzka won't have to deal with a new royal hereditary line." summed up Celestia.

"To be quite honest, I'm not too excited about starting a new hereditary line myself." chuckled Cadance. "I've seen what being born into power and wealth can do to people."

"And that's why I'm happy my son will be getting a normal childhood as well." beamed Celestia.

"And by normal, you mean being the assistant to one of the most powerful magical users we've seen right?" chuckled Cadance, referring to Celestia's son Spike, a dragon born whose father she only knew as some warrior Celestia met two years back. As he was born with non Equestrian genes, he wouldn't receive any privileges of nobility, but at least had a great mother and future sister to take care of him.

"Well then, I see no reason why you shouldn't be asking Lev out right now." noted Celestia.

Cadance formed a sheepish half smile. "I don't know auntie. For all I know, he might not feel the same way."

Celestia wrapped her gloved arms around Cadance and pulled her close. "Cadance dear, you're the greatest girl anyone right now could ask for. There's no way based on your history with Lev that he doesn't truly have feelings for you. Besides, you won't find out until you ask him."

Cadance found her face near Celestia's cleavage and chuckled. "Whoa! That's motivating and all, but I don't need to buried near your chest."

Celestia let go of her niece and Cadance sat back up, a blush on her face. "How about you invite Lev over for a dinner here in the castle and finally tell him how you feel? It ought to put these questions to rest."

Cadance thought about it deeply before coming up with an answer. She looked up at her aunt and smiled. "Sounds like a plan. I really hope it works out."

"Oh, I'm sure it will be utterly romantic." teased Celestia. "And it will open up a whole new chapter in Equestrian foreign relations."

"Right." blushed Cadance. "But auntie...is it alright if...well..."

Celestia raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Is it all right if the dinner isn't one on one? I'd like for you to be on my side." said Cadance, finally mustering the courage to say it. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

Celestia hugged her niece from the side again and gave her a peck on the top of her head. "Of course my dear. I'll make the arrangements myself. You just worry about contacting Lev and figuring out what to say to him."

"Shouldn't be a problem." replied Cadance, blushing due to the feeling of her nearly bare breast asymmetrically docking with her aunt's.

"Splendid!" chirped Celestia. She stood up quickly, causing her breasts to hypnotically bounce again. "Although I will note that word of us getting together with Lev might mean some people will feel the need to invite themselves over for company."

Cadance sighed. "I know what you mean." She then smirked. "Although if it means giving Lev the ability to give them a piece of his mind, I'm sure he'll be even more tempted to come."

Celestia formed a devilish grin. "It will be amusing to say the least. I'll go write up arrangements for Friday at 7:30 in the royal dining room and you can start writing to Lev now. Got it?"

"Got it." acknowledged Cadance.

In a nearly blinding flash, Celestia teleported away.

Cadance wasted no time heading for her desk and taking out a quill and paper. She thought for a good 10 minutes on what to write before finally jotting her invitation down, trying to sound formal, but not trying to make her true intentions clear either.

Once she was satisfied, Cadance put down her quill and took a deep yawn. It wasn't too late into the night, but she needed to turn in now to get up early for royal policy management. She figured she would send the letter during her first break in the morning when the post office was open.

Cadance headed to her bed and picked up the Arstrotzkan plush bear, taking a good look at it as it reminded her of the person who gave it to her. She then proceeded to levitate it towards the night stand next to her bed which she crept into.

She used her magic to dim the lights and then reached for her bed's blanket. She covered herself in the sheets, but couldn't just fall asleep yet.

"What if Lev doesn't feel about me that way?" whispered Cadance to herself. "What if I'm wasting my time......"

She took a deep breath. "No. There's no way he would just..."

Candace's voice trailed off as she reached for the Arstrotzkan teddy on her night stand.

She hugged the stuffed bear close to her bare belly under her blanket as a sign of good faith and crept to sleep.

Arrival

For hours, the only sight outside the train window was endless sheets of snow.

I had gotten up sharp in the morning, having packed my things the night before, and headed straight for the train station to catch my ride on time. We departed at around 7 in the morning and the train made its way through the Northern regions until we finally crossed past the north pole and headed south into Equestria.

Across the journey from Moscolt, to Mareingrad and to Arkhayngelsk, the number of Arstrotzkans on the train dwindled until we finally crossed into the arctic where it was just me and a few dozen people. I normally enjoyed the outside view, but staring at white snow got boring after a while and it didn't help that there was barely anyone to talk to.

I remember reading old tales about an old arctic Equestrian city that vanished a thousand years ago. If so, I would imagine there would have been at least one stop in the bleak and freezing environment that wasn't a tiny military garrison whose sole purpose was to protect the trains.

When the train crossed the border and stopped in the Equestrian city of Vanhoover, a few Arstrotzkans finally disembarked after hours of waiting. They were probably hired technical experts to aid the local municipal government.

As the remnants got out the train, I got out my phone and opened up my photo gallery. I gazed at pictures of me and Cadance that were just reminders of friendship before, but now would probably mean something more. I looked at the photos fondly, with more than just nostalgia encompassing my thoughts. Cadance and I looked so happy in those photos, and in pictures where it was just me and her, I realized that there was something in our eyes and expressions conveying feelings we couldn't just get out.

Then another hour passed and the train finally arrived on time. I glimpsed outside the window and sure enough, we were in Canterlot's train station. I had to restrain myself from laughing upon seeing Equestria's ridiculously designed trains, because while I could forgive them for looking archaic due to their technology level, I didn't understand how anyone could justify the frilly colors and heart decorations. Those trains were just screaming "bomb me with artillery."

I got up and gathered my luggage from its compartment and headed out, giving a quick farewell to the workers on the train before I made it out.

I stepped out the train and took a good look around me. Sure enough, the familiar architecture of Canterlot laid before my eyes. Unlike other parts of Equestria where I could probably see a Pegasai or two flying around, the skies were rather clear, probably owing to Canterlot's predominantly unicorn population.

The weather was rather cold given that it was in the middle of winter, but it wasn't snowing heavily like in Arstrotzka. My uniform alone was decent enough to give me some needed warmth.

I looked back down and a sea of colored hair exploded before my face. Countless Equestrians were waiting to board their train to wherever they needed to head to, dropping odd looks at me and the other few Arstrotzkans disembarking. Our jet dull colored hair, eyes, pale skin and lack of magic always attracted stares, but I would be lying if I didn't say the opposite was true for the rainbow that was Equestria's populace.

Most of the citizens seemed to be clad in rather expensive looking coats, the kind you'd see on advertisements outside Arstrotzka. They looked rather impractical and silly from my perspective, just symbols of wealth rather than a suitable way of keeping warm. Their ridiculous outfits sure did compliment their posh accents and snobbish ways of speaking however.

Damn, I was only out in Canterlot for a few seconds and I felt like I already wanted to wage a class war on these parasites.

Suddenly a voice called out to me in Arstrotzkan. "Hey! Comrade Ulyanov!"

I turned around and saw another Arstrotzkan political officer approaching towards me.

I smiled wide and hugged my fellow Commissar close. "Ah, good to see you comrade Gelovani!"

Commissar Dmitri Gelovani was our ambassador to Equestria stationed in Canterlot. Like most men from Fillisi, he sported tousled black hair and a boxed beard to match.

He let go of me and looked at me with a proud expression. "So, dinner with the Princess huh? Doesn't take a genius to know why they invited you."

I laughed. "Oh it's not a big deal. If I get together with Cadance then it happened, and if it's just a casual outing, so be it."

Gelovani chuckled like I just told a big joke. "No big deal? This might be the first time an Arstrotzkan Commissar has gotten into a serious relationship with an Equestrian princess. And I don't just mean flirting, dates and casual sex comrade, but something fully committed."

We heard a scoff and turned to the direction of the Canterlot nobles waiting for their train to arrive. It didn't take a genius to know that they despised us as we did to them. In a way, we Arstrotzkans were an anathema to every Canterlot elite and it was easy to see why. We were non magical, favored technological supremacy and consisted solely of a working class that saw equality as a virtue. It certainly didn't help that we were talking in Arstrotzkan, but we were honestly didn't care for what they thought.

Gelovani motioned me to move forward and I tagged along.

"So how is it representing Arstrotzka in Equestria?" I asked.

"Eh, the pay is decent if that's what you mean." he smirked. "Celestia is also...really...really wonderful once you get to know her."

Based on his fawning, I could tell Gelovani had some rather intimate encounters with Celestia from time to time.

"I didn't think that Equestria would even need an Arstrotzkan embassy considering there are barely a few hundred of us in the entire country." I inferred.

"Well, all four great powers have an embassy in pretty much any country you can think of." noted Gelovani. "Trust me though, with the disputes Arstrotzkan professional workers get into every day, you feel like there's over a million of us in this place."

"Disputes huh?" I muttered. "I thought our expats refused to work for bourgeois private firms."

"Oh, but that doesn't stop some Canterlot manager or business owner from bursting into our embassy and demanding to know why some Arstrotzkan was trying to radicalize his workers." told Gelovani. "Just two days ago some noble who owned a fancy restaurant got mad at us because some Arstrotzkan who ate there almost helped the workers unionize and last week another comrade shut down a theater by leading the staff on a strike until their wages increased."

"Nice to see our comrades trying to spread class consciousness while they can." I chuckled.

"And that's nothing to say about all the accusations thrown at Arstrotzkans working in government firms." smiled Gelovani. "Every week or so, we get a complaint from a Canterlot governor claiming that some Arstrotzkan bureaucrat is secretly an ASVD spy plotting to launch a Collectivist revolution from within."

"Oh man." I laughed. "Why would we even need to send in an ASVD agent disguised as a worker when we can just send in an infiltrator?"

Gelovani shrugged. "I tell you though, if Celestia was asked to step down in a working class revolution, I'm afraid I as an ambassador wouldn't get to spend any special time with her."

"I'm pretty sure you and the other great power ambassadors and leaders have had some rather intimate escapades with her huh?" I replied.

"Well, it isn't too different from that week you got to spend with Cadance in the Marediterraenian." winked Gelovani.

I noticed that we were approaching Canterlot castle. Many nobles were looking at us with suspicion, as if we were about to line them up against the wall for their crimes against the working class any second.

"You sure we can move into Canterlot without protection?" I whispered.

Gelovani smirked like it was nothing. "Don't worry. If these bourgeois parasites know what's good for them, they won't lay a finger on us unless they want this nation overrun and razed in a night. That's why most Equestrian supremacists can't get too far when brewing racial hatred against the expatriates."

"I guess so, but I honestly don't feel safe with Equestria's failure of a royal guard being in charge of our security tonight." I muttered.

"Well, I'm afraid our treaty with Equestria prohibits us from having anything other than a platoon guarding our embassy." sighed Gelovani.

"Then how do we ensure safety for Arstrotzkans in the other Equestrian cities where the embassy isn't around?" I inquired.

"The ASVD is very persuasive and subtle." chuckled Gelovani.

The two of us finally stopped at the gates of the Canterlot castle, our entire conversation having distracted us from the sights of the city. It was at that point where I realized I never even stepped foot inside the castle, or even the entirety of Canterlot for that matter. Growing up, all of my encounters with Equestrians, namely Cadance, happened in the middle of the Mareopean continent or an Equestrian city that was rather "neutral" in culture like Manehatten.

A royal guard, wearing the usual primitive and ineffective golden armor while clutching a spear, walked towards us. I followed his teal eyes down to Gelovani, who I noticed had a pistol holstered on his waist. At least the royal guard knew where to watch out for, as it's been said that one man with a gun can control a hundred without one.

"State your business!" yelled the royal guard in a gruff tone, although with his ridiculous get up he couldn't even pretend to look intimidating.

I looked up on the castle walls and noticed that the guards had their spears and crossbows pointed towards us, with some pegasai guards flexing their bright angelic wings. I wondered if they were to repeat such gestures if I was an ethnic Equestrian, but then I'd be a hypocrite if I stated that guards ought not to always be weary of visitors and trespassers.

Gelovani smirked and spoke Equestrian with a heavy accent. "Whoa there bourgies, let's not get hasty here. I'd be able to draw my pistol faster than any of you could throw your spears at me and miss."

The guard in front of us tensed. "Ambassador Dmitri Gelovani....what is the purpose of your visit?"

Gelovani pointed towards me. "I, am just merely seeing off comrade Lev Vissarinovich Ulyanov who has been invited to dinner by your princesses Celestia and Cadance. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Commissar Ulyanov now do we?"

"If this is a trick to assassinate the Princesses or start a revolution, there will be consequences." warned the guard.

"Oh please." I muttered. "This country doesn't even have enough class consciousness for us to even start a moderate democratic liberal revolution here. There is literally zero incentive for us to act up right now."

"Well then," sighed the guard. "I must see to it that your belongings are searched and that you are disarmed."

I handed my suitcase to the guard and raised my hands. "I'm completely unarmed. It's probably for everyone's safety that no firearm is in your or your compatriots' possession either."

The guard ignored that comment and opened my luggage. After fumbling with it for a minute and casting what I presumed to be security spells, handed the luggage back to me.

"You're free to go wherever you must in the castle." nonchalantly uttered the guard.

Gelovani winked and extended his hand. "Well comrade Lev, I'm about to head back to my post."

I took his hand and asked a question that was itching on my mind. "Wait Gelovani, where am I even supposed to be sleeping? There was not a mention of living arrangements in my invitation."

Gelovani gave me a toothy grin. "Well Lev, that's because you're going to be sleeping right next to Cadance once you finally decide to go dating with her after dinner."

As Gelovani said that in Equestrian, the face of the royal guard next to us burned red and scowled.

I chuckled nervously. "Let's not get too ahead of ourselves now."

"Come now," encouraged Gelovani. "It's almost an unspoken tradition that the young foreign representatives from the great powers, sans Neighpon of course since they only date other Neighponese, shares Princess Celestia's bed during visits. So, the same ought to apply to you and Cadance."

The royal guard was fuming. "You dare speak of the Princesses with such a demeanor!"

"See, this prudish attitude is why none of Celestia's past lovers have ever been an Equestrian." retorted Gelovani. He faced me. "Oh, and since Cadance is an alicorn, keep sucking and rubbing on her tits, because let's just say you'll get a little treat."

"Oh I know." I replied with a grin. "I did sleep with her for a week after all."

Now the guard was clutching his spear tight as he boiled with anger.

Gelovani paid him no mind. "Well, I guess I will be seeing you around comrade Lev. Alert me if anything goes wrong."

"Eh, I'm feeling much better about this right now." I smiled.

Gelovani waved and began making his way, leaving me to enter the castle as enraged royal guards stared at me. I didn't pay them or any of the other bourgeois onlookers as I made way in. As far as I'm concerned, they weren't the ones I was trying to please.

Still, that didn't shake off the feeling that this place was utterly alien in many ways, as if I was in the middle of a fantasy land or 200 years down Arstrotzka's history. The sense of magic was captivating and I could feel a rather regal and classical atmosphere around me. This place was a far cry from my industrialized working class homeland.

I took a deep breath as I found myself inside the castle, already hearing the muttering among servants and dignitaries directed at me. A sea of Equestrians with multi colored hair and archaic outfits were going about on their business, all evidently done with a work day and heading back home. They all seemed to break into a rush the moment they glanced at me, like I was about to draw a pistol and force them to accept collectivist hegemony.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ulyanov?" whimpered a voice.

I turned to my left and saw a maid clad in a black uniform. She seemed to be in her late 40s and had curly hair that sported a stripped red and orange pattern. She looked incredibly nervous, which I didn't blame her for considering I seemed to be a full foot taller than her and came from a land utterly incomprehensible to her.

I raised my right to greet her. "Good to see you comrade...."

"Eeep!" The maid closed her eyes and faced the other direction, only to slowly turn around once she realized I wasn't about to beat her down.

She blushed nervously. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. It's just that I get a little shy sometimes and that no one really greets me with a handshake."

"Well, in my land everyone is entitled to the same amount of dignity." I assured. "So what was your name?"

She nervously put on a smile. "Oh, um. My name is Straw Broom."

Of course she was named Straw Broom.

"Well, it's nice to meet you comrade Straw Broom." I greeted.

She placed a hand on her lip and twitched. "Comrade? Oh my. We don't use terms like that here when referring to maids Mr. Ulyanov."

I sighed. It seemed the tale of the servant being depraved of respect by an aristocratic society was all too true here.

"Okay, but then you just have to call me Lev heh heh." I chuckled.

Straw Broom gulped. "Oh no no no! I can not absolutely do that here Mr. Ulyanov. That would be most disrespectful."

I knitted my eyebrows. "Disrespectful? I have no right to claim dominance over you and treat you like something inferior, so we are going to refer to each other either with casual prepositions or formal ones. Which is it going to be?"

Straw Broom yelped and the voices in the entrance grew louder. At that point I panicked and realized that my efforts were utterly futile.

"I'm sorry!" I remarked to Straw Broom. "I'm not exactly used to how things work in Canterlot."

Straw Broom grinned and stopped shaking. "It's not a problem. We have similar incidents with all sorts of foreigners all the time. It takes a while to get used to someone else's culture."

I was a little ticked that trying to get Straw Broom to treat me as an equal was an 'incident', but I remembered my Commissar training and just accepted that Equestria wouldn't have the same social norms as Arstrotzka, for now.

"So what was the reason you wanted to see me Ms. Straw Broom?" I inquired.

"Why, to show you to Princess Cadance's room of course!" chirped Straw Broom.

"Then let's get going." I nodded.

Now the younger males in the entrance near us were growing mad, that one utterance being indicative of what was likely to go down tonight. It must have really pissed them off that a non royal, especially a foreign collectivist, would be bedding with their Princess tonight. I wondered how many of them were part of the failed suitors Cadance told me about.

I walked down the hall with Straw Broom, passing by the various onlookers that shot us glances either of suspicion or disgust. I couldn't really blame them to be quite honest, as the people of Canterlot believed in their norms while they were the target of our own government's propaganda that detailed the oppressiveness of the reactionary systems.

"So, it must be really nice to have dinner with the Princesses." said Straw Broom, trying to break the tension after a few minutes of silently trekking through the castle.

"It definitely is," I replied. "I've had dinner with her on multiple occasions, but those were during mass gatherings with friends and nowhere nearly as formal as this."

"Well, there's a first time for everything." mused Straw Broom.

I bit my lip. "I don't think too many people in Canterlot are excited about this are they?"

Straw Broom hesitated for a second. "I wouldn't worry too much about it. Foreign dignitaries are almost always treated with suspicion, especially if they're from a great power like Arstrotzka."

"As someone that works in a Commissariat that deals with our relations with the other great powers, I guess I can see why many wouldn't trust us at first glance." I acknowledged.

"Princess Celestia and Cadance do seem to enjoy company from the Great Powers though," encouraged Straw Broom, before her face fell. "Well, maybe a little too much."

"I guess you can see why I'm going to be rooming with Princess Cadance tonight." I joked as we began to climb a pile of stairs.

"Indeed. I've escorted multiple leaders and ambassadors from the Gemrane Reich, Arstrotzka and Haylexandria to Celestia's quarters." hinted Straw Broom.

"Of course you'd leave out Neighpon in there," I smirked. "I don't think any of their people are capable of seeking out a relationship with a foreigner."

Straw Broom nervously laughed only to quickly lighten up. "Oh my! We've reached her highness Cadance's room."

With the exception of a golden marking that bore Cadance's crystal heart cutie mark, the door to her room looked rather generic, if a little on the big side. I thought that this was it. That this was where I was going to greet Cadance and decide once and for all if I was going to kindle a loving relationship with her. My mind was racing at the thought of making a decision that would change my life, and possibly the Arstrotzkan foreign policy, forever.

"Is Princess Cadance going to be in her room?" I questioned.

"Uh, I'm afraid not," told Straw Broom. "She's currently overseeing preparations and discussing things with her aunt."

I closed my eyes and nodded. "Okay then. I can make my way inside right?"

"Definitely," said Straw Broom. "I can help unpack your things while you get dressed."

"Ah, no need," I insisted. "I can handle it."

"You sure Mr. Ulyanov?" checked Straw Broom.

"Yeah, I just need to take off this cap and put on a tie to get into 'dress mode'." I stated.

Straw Broom nodded. "Okay then. You should have around 10 minutes before you need to head to the dining hall. So, you get ready while I see off the remaining guests."

"Take care Ms. Straw Broom." I beamed as she made her way down the hall.

I took a moment to compose myself before opening the door to Cadance's room. I expected there to be some sort of magical charm or jinx that she placed to guard her room, but I walked in undeterred.

There was some sort of tense feeling twitching inside of me considering that I was walking into her room. I hadn't prepared training to raid people's homes unlike some other Commissars, so needless to say, I kinda avoided walking into a girl's quarters. Perhaps it was the little boy in me that had yet to see past divisions in gender.

To be quite honest though, Cadance's room was pretty well designed. It had the same flair of Canterlot luxury in its furniture and accommodations while not being too excessive with decorations or trinkets. The colors were dominantly white with lots of pink and purple objects in between. The walls were painted a blended shade of magenta and violet. Just being present in this room for a few seconds was already enough to fill me with passionate feelings, a clear sign that this place was the quarters of the alicorn of love.

Cadance had a large bed, clearly big enough to accommodate a few people. A small sitting area with books and a coffee table stood at my left and a desk perched on the wall was onto my right, the perfect place to depose a few of my things.

I walked on over to the desk and unzipped my suitcase, taking out a few papers I would probably work on when possible and my laptop. It was a good thing that device could be solar powered because Equestria most certainly did not have the electrical infrastructure needed to support charging it.

I finally reached for a pair of deodorant spray and cologne, the latter of which I never actually bothered using in my life until my dad suggested it for this occasion before I left. I eyed what appeared to be various Equestrian sprays on the table and decided to lay mine next to them.

While settling those two cans down, I couldn't help but glance at a series of pictures that Cadance had laid out on the table. Two of those photos I had recognized as her graduating from middle and high school. Then there were photos of her and her aunt Celestia together or with some of her friends from Canterlot. One photo depicted Cadance alongside a young girl with purple hair, probably the girl she mentioned babysitting to me.

Then there were three photos that really caught my attention. The first two were photos of me and Cadance holding hands that were taken during two dances that were held at two respective global youth summits. Those 'dates' didn't really mean anything to us back then, but in hindsight I guess they were early instances of our true feelings for each other surfacing. I remembered those two nights far more dearly now; how passionate the scene was, how beautiful Cadance looked, and how just how comfortable we felt in each others presence. Hell, I reckon we nearly kissed on both instances.

On the other hand, the third showed Cadance in what I assumed was a prom dress alongside another young man with electric blue hair. The guy next to Cadance seemed to be rather nerdy, but clearly from an upper class background. This must have been Shining Armor, the brother of the girl Cadance babysat. He really didn't look like someone that would be enlisting in the Equestrian royal guard, but given their poor performance in anything combat related, it wouldn't have made a difference.

I couldn't help but keep starring at that picture. So this was Shining Armor, Cadance's first kiss apparently. I pondered if they had sex in the six months after Cadance lost her virginity to me, not that it would have bothered me. It was just that Cadance had told me the last time I was with her, that Shining Armor was the one she had a true crush on and was probably going to see a full relationship with him.

I hastily sat down on Cadance's bed, feeling like an idiot. How could have I forgotten Shining Armor? The royal guard that was Cadance's first love and kiss, not to mention the brother of the girl she baby sat. It sounded like a match made in heaven. As far as I was concerned, all I was doing was getting my hopes up by assuming Cadance would take things steady with me. I thought I was foolish to think that an Arstrotzkan Commissar and Equestrian Princess could ever amount to anything.

But then...I stood up and brushed those thoughts away. Based on everyone's reaction this whole affair, this dinner really did seem like Cadance's attempt to tell me that she was in love with me and wanted to be my true girlfriend. Hell, it would explain why I'd be sleeping next to Cadance tonight. Of course, that would mean that Cadance and Shining Armor would have broken up in the 6 months that I last saw her, which I figured was entirely possible.

Then, that's where I saw it.

On Cadance's pillow was a plush teddy bear clad in an Arstrotzkan uniform. Suddenly a wave of flashbacks flooded through my mind when we were just children. I don't exactly remember the specific instance, but I had given this very specific plush bear to Cadance as a token of kindness while Cadance had given me a plush stallion in return.

The other guys teased me about it (we were kids after all), but I really appreciated the thought. I didn't really make much of the plushy itself however, so it filled me with immense guilt that Cadance had still kept that teddy bear around despite the remarks she would have received.

I smiled at that plush bear, as if I was meeting an old friend I hadn't seen in over 10 years. Not to mention, it was probably the luckiest teddy in the world if it got to cuddle next to Cadance every night.

Feeling much better, I hastily transformed my uniform into something a bit more suitable for formal dinners rather than representing the will of the Arstrotzkan Collectivist political party. Of course, all that meant was unbuttoning the top of my coat to reveal my white collar shirt to slap on a tie. It also meant getting rid of my beloved peaked cap for the moment.

Once I was confident, I sent a message to the Commissariat and parents via phone that I was prepared and headed to the doorway. Having already made a trip from the entrance to Cadance's room, I figured all I'd need to do was retrace my steps back from where I came. I took a deep breath, assured and ready.

I walked out and closed the door behind me. All I needed to do now was-

"Lev!?" cried out a voice I knew all to well.

I turned to my side and for the first time in 6 months, in front of me was Cadance, standing in all her beautiful glory.

To say she looked magnificent tonight was an understatement. The strapless dress she wore was a beautiful pink garment that flowed down her body majestically. I couldn't help but notice that dress was the perfect combination between revealing and elegant as well. It gave me a great look at Cadance's buxom breasts doing a good job holding the garment up while a slit that began at her thigh gave me a peak at her long, bare leg. The dress hugged her voluptuous body tight, perfectly outlining every curve that Cadance had.

The high heels she wore put her a few inches taller than me, making her beauty even more imposing. I simply didn't know what to say to say to Cadance right now as I aimlessly stared at her, herself with a similar expression of awe with a regal gloved finger at her lip.

I took a gulp and tried to focus. "Cadance, I uh..."

Cadance immediately cut me off by quickly walking towards me and placing her gloved hands on my elbows to pull me in for a deep, passionate kiss.

My brain immediately melted the second her lips met mine. I closed my eyes as a sea of emotions traveled down my brain, relishing at the comfort of Cadance's presence. I had kissed her multiple times before during that week we spent together in the hotel, but this time it was different. Now, the kiss actually meant something a whole lot more. If I still had doubts about Cadance's feelings towards me, they were gone at that instant.

Cadance lifted her leg up, free by the slit in her dress, and I instinctively grabbed her bare thigh and back to hold her in place. While my fingers delighted in touching Cadance's bare skin, it was a bit of a struggle to hold her up considering that she gained a few extra inches with her heels as she kissed me.

We held the embrace for what may have been a half minute, my hands sliding across her exposed back and thigh all the while, before Cadance unglued her lips from mine while balancing herself on me and her leg. She still kept her hands on my shoulders and I still kept mine on her thigh and back. She looked into my eyes with a warm smile and I returned the favor, knowing full well what this night was about.

"So," said Cadance, finally breaking the silence. "Glad to see that you could make it."

"Of course I did." I replied. "Why would I miss the chance to together with my favorite girl in the world?"

Cadance let out a giggle, only to be cut off by the sound of a young child.

"Hi Cadance!"

Cadance's eyes shot open and the two of us turned our head to the sound.

Looking up at us was a little girl who couldn't have been more than 10. Her hair was entirely purple save for a pink stripe down the line and I immediately recognized her as Twilight Sparkle. Other than a backpack, she wore a white shirt and blue trousers with a purple sweater vest. Unlike her brother whose skin was rather light, Twilight's skin tone was little bit more dusk shaded.

I glanced back at Cadance who had a massive blush on her face. I almost formed one myself considering that Twilight was innocently seeing Cadance in a revealing outfit with my hands suggestively holding her bare thigh and back after we embraced.

Cadance quickly stepped down on both feet and let me go. She glanced down at Twilight and formed a sheepish grin. Twilight was still smiling at us childishly, unaware of what just went on between me and Cadance. A part of me really hoped that Twilight wasn't feigning that smile, as I myself wasn't that oblivious to what teens and adults did as a kid.

"Twilight," nodded Cadance gleefully while trying to focus. "I would like you to meet my friend, Lev Ulyanov."

"Privyet." I nonchalantly greeted in Arstrotzkan, trying to hold down my embarrassment.

"Lev comes from Arstrotzka. It's a country not too far from here if you take the train across the arctic." explained Cadance while tugging down at her dress to cover a part of her exposed leg, hoping Twilight wouldn't notice.

Twilight shot me an inquisitorial look and placed a finger on her chin. "Hm, I know it's a really important place, but I haven't really heard of Ar...ty..trotka."

I almost winced at her butchering the pronunciation of the People's Republic's name, but I let it slide as she was a kid. Wouldn't surprise me that someone of an elite Canterlot background didn't received no education about Arstrotzka, especially if they were receiving state sponsored education.

"Isn't it really cold and scary where you come from?" asked Twilight.

"You get used to it." I muttered, deciding to toy with her. She seemed to be a smart kid, but I doubted even a prodigy would understand where I really came from if they were an Equestrian child.

Twilight placed both of her hands on her cheeks in disbelief. "Oh really? Life must be terrible! How do you all get by every day."

"Guns. Lots of guns." I deadpanned, causing Cadance to nearly giggle and break my facade.

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "What's a gun Mr. Lev?"

"I'll tell you when you're older." I replied, finally getting a chuckle out of Cadance.

Twilight pouted and slammed her foot on the ground. Even being a prodigy couldn't escape their childish instincts.

"That's not fair!" complained Twilight.

Cadance sighed and gave Twilight a motherly look. "Sometimes Twilight, life isn't as fair as we think it is."

"Da." I nodded in agreement. "That's why we in Arstrotzka like to grab life by the throat and shake it hard until it becomes fair."

Cadance bit hit her lip with a smile at my remark.

"Well, I hope I can make life better." said Twilight. "Princess Celestia says I'm destined for great things."

"You're named after a time of day which corresponds to Celestia being named after the sun. I would say that's an accurate assertion." I agreed.

"Really!" lit up Twilight with an adorable smile.

"Da." I assured.

"YAAY...Da!" cheered Twilight, probably figuring out what that translated to just now.

"Twilight is studying pretty hard under Celestia in the art of magic." said Cadance in a proud manner. "And she had the best babysitter a while back in the whole world!"

Twilight stopped jumping at gave me that quizzical look once more. "Hey, are you and Cadance having dinner together?"

"Yes we are." smiled Cadance.

"Oh my gosh! Are you two dating?" asked Twilight.

"Ideally." I replied. I glanced at Cadance and saw another blush on her face with a surprised look, but one of pleasant surprise than shock.

Twilight's face somewhat sank. So did mine. I knew where she was about to go with this.

"It's really weird," sighed Twilight. "I thought Cadance was going to be dating my big brother best friend forever Shining Armor."

Cadance said nothing and looked down. At that moment I could feel my body starting to tense up. I really hopped that whatever Twilight would say wasn't going to ruin this chance for me to get together with Cadance, the woman who I had truly loved all this time.

"I mean," continued Twilight. "We went over so many plans before Cadance's prom night just so we could set her up with Shining. Then for the next two years they started dating, but those boneheads in the royal guard assigned Shining Armor to Hoofington. I barely get to see him now and he and Cadance had to break up. I tried to beg Princess Celestia to intervene, but Shining decided to follow orders."

I looked at Twilight's sad expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. For starters, I knew that my family missed me when I had to start working in the capital city of Moscolt away from to start my job. I also couldn't help but feel that some perfect plans of her were ruined. I mean, why wouldn't she want her royal guard brother to start dating a princess that was also her babysitter? It was a perfect combination, and now I had to get my collectivist ass in the middle of this.

I glanced at Cadance, who seemed to be down for the second. I really hope she wasn't reconsidering this.

"Twilight," I stated, trying to sound as empathetic as possible. "I'm sorry that the circumstances couldn't work like you wanted."

"Oh no!" interrupted Twilight, suddenly cheering up. "It's great that Cadance found love again, so she can still be happy. You two crazy kids should go have fun!"

I actually let out a smile at that remark, and so did Cadance. "Well, just to be clear, we haven't really committed anything yet."

Suddenly a new voice called out.

"Twilight dear!"

Me and Candace looked up and saw two figures approach Twilight, one a man with brighter skin and bluish hair and a woman with darker skin and purple hair that carried a white streak. Given their resemblance, it didn't take a genius to know those were Twilight's and Shining Armor's parents.

Twilight squealed with delight and hugged her parents close, the two more than happy to see to their daughter. I glanced at Cadance trying to muster a grin, but only forming the 'How am I going to explain this?' look.

Mr. Sparkle held her daughter tight. "We've missed you a lot kiddo!"

"I miss you too daddy!" chirped back Twilight.

Mrs. Sparkle glanced up at Cadance. "How are you doing your self Ca...."

Upon noticing who Cadance was standing next to, Mrs. Sparkle's smile turned into a frown. Mr. Sparkle did the same the moment he eyed me, not paying attention to his daughter's remarks.

The two parents stood up and gave me an inquisitive look, the same kind I was used to receiving around here by now. I could definitely tell that there was a feeling of disappointment within them, upset at the fact that Princes Cadance was probably fancying me at the moment rather than dating their son Shining Armor. Had their son himself shown up here, I would have probably filled the entire Sparkle family with distraught within a few minutes.

"Oh hey guys!" cheered Cadance, trying to brighten the mood. "Twilight just came here to say goodbye for the weekend while me and my friend Lev Ulyanov go have dinner."

"Dinner with Mr. Ulyanov huh?" muttered Mr. Sparkle, noticing the Arstrotzkan in my name, as if my dull black hair and eyes weren't already a dead give away. He clearly was wondering what Cadance saw in me.

"Well," nonchalantly said Mrs. Sparkle, breaking the silence. "You guys can go have fun. We'll take care of little Twily for the weekend."

"Be careful, I heard her magic has gotten pretty powerful as of late." chuckled Cadance.

"Oh, we'll see." grinned Mrs. Sparkle.

Twilight let go of her had and waved to us. "By Cadance! Bye Lev! I'll see you once the weekend is done!"

"Take care." smiled Cadance.

Twilight's parents shot a final suspicious look at me and without me having ever said anything to them at all, headed off with their daughter on the opposite side of the hall.

Cadance watched the couple leave with their child, who was musing on and on about what she had learned that day. Cadance's expression was a little uneasy, considering that she basically showed off her new boyfriend from an entirely separate society to the parents and sister of her first love. I wasn't too concerned about winning them over, they were neither my family's nor Cadance's, so I figured that they'd just need to get over Shining Armor not being Cadance's lover anymore.

I bit my lip and decided to ease the tension. "I'd say Twilight is going to end up as someone pretty damn important in Equestria."

Cadance smiled and raised an eyebrow. "You think so?"

I scoffed jokingly. "I know so! I mean come on, her name refers to a time of day while Celestia's refers to the sun. It's a dead giveaway even if we don't factor in the fact that she's apparently a prodigy."

Cadance rolled her eyes. "Come on Levy, it's not that obvious."

"Seriously?" I replied. "Face it, you ethnic Equestrians almost always grow up to do something related to your names. The Germanes get around that by naming their kids something vague but intimidating in their language so they can ensure their destiny is more to their control while still being able to put up a fight."

"In my defense, my name is Cadance and I'm an alicorn of love, not singing." replied Cadance.

"Yeah, but you have such a beautiful singing voice as well." I complimented.

Cadance blushed and glanced at me appreciatively.

"Besides, your actual name is Mi Amore Cadenza, so that still relates to love." I noted.

"Touche." admitted Cadance.

"You know, the great powers have a contingency plan that should we occupy an Equestrian nation indefinitely, we'd force future children to take embarrassing and pathetic names to ensure that succeeding generations would grow up to become people ineffective at fighting back." I remarked.

"Let's hope it never comes to that day." Cadance formed a seductive look that made me catch my breath and moved towards me.

"Now forget about that," she whispered, right before she embraced me with a long and passionate kiss.

Once more my brain melted in ecstasy. I didn't care if it was a side effect of Cadance being the alicorn of love anymore, for now there was no other feeling in the world that could compare to her lips meeting mine. I placed both my hands on her bare back once more and hugged her close, feeling her busty chest squeezing against mine. It felt like her strapless dress would fall down and plop out her breasts as we kissed.

Cadance unglued her lips from mine and looked at me with those beautiful purple eyes I adored. "Come on, let's not keep the others waiting."

"Most definitely." I smiled as we affectionately grabbed hands and walked down the hallway.

Dinner

Author's Note

Oh boy, this took a while. This chapter is longer than I expected, so I hope it is worth it.

Dinner

I felt like the happiest guy in the world right now. Cadance, clad in her beautiful (and revealing) pink dress, walked down the hall with me in my contrasting pseudo-commissar suit. We didn't say a single word to each other for the full minute, but that's because our faces did all the talking for us.

Two whole worlds were walking down the royal Canterlot hall and clasping hands. Where I would have been embarrassed to do so with Cadance a year ago, now there was no other place I would rather be.

The woman I loved was by my side, and tonight, I knew we were going to make things official once and for all. This was no longer some fling like whatever Celestia does with the Great Power's ambassadors and leaders or that one week I spent with Cadance in the hotel, but something that was going to last a lifetime.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you Cadance." I said, trying not to blush.

"Same," replied Cadance. "It's certainly been while since that...wonderful week."

"Yeah, um, that was something." I chuckled, nearly at a loss of words. "I've thought about that week a lot."

"I'm sure it kept you busy at night." winked Cadance.

"Well in a way," I admitted. "But Arstrotzkan don't exactly..er..pleasure ourselves like that. That's what our partners are for."

"As long as I'm on your mind, I don't care." giggled Cadance.

"And you always are kotenok." I assured.

Cadance raised her eyebrow playfully. "Kotenok?"

I bit my lip. "Oh, it's Arstrotzkan for kitten. I just...thought it sounded pretty cute."

Cadance smiled approvingly. "It does sound pretty sweet....Levy."

I winced. "Oh, haven't heard that one in a while."

"But I still get to call you that right Mr. Commissar?" teased Cadance.

"Of course kotenok," I sighed, but in a positive way. "So, know exactly who we're going to be having dinner with?"

Cadance smiled sheepishly. "Other than my aunt, not exactly. All I know is that some people were coming over and I can't turn them down. You know, just to address any 'concerns' they might have."

"Pfft, concerns." I scoffed. "That's just code for them not being okay with you dating out of your race and class."

"To be honest," remarked Cadance. "I think Arstrotzkans themselves are only okay with this because they know that we'd be killing off an alicorn bloodline. I mean, any kids that I'd have with you would be non magical and illegible for royalty."

I blushed at the thought of having kids with Cadance. "That wouldn't be a problem though right?"

"Of course not," assured Cadance with a nuzzle on my cheek. "I don't care how much magic you have or don't have in your blood. You'll always be my little Levy."

"And I don't care what class background you come from, because you'll always be my little kotenok." I replied.

"Is that the highest compliment a collectivist can give out?" sarcastically asked Cadance.

"Yes, right next to 'don't worry, we see the monarchy as a temporary necessary evil'." I snarked.

"I guess that if Arstrotzkan officers like yourself get to have nice flings with Princesses, they won't be complaining." laughed Cadance.

"But this is more than a fling right?" I checked, sounding kind of nervous.

Cadance kissed me on the cheek to immediately dispel any doubt in my mind. "Of course. I feel like our lives have been building up to this moment. Nothing can stop that right now."

Suddenly, Cadance was cut off by a loud voice.

"Her highness Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and her companion, Commissar Lev Vissarionovich Ulyanov!" cried a squire dressed in a ridiculous flashy outfit.

Before I knew it, Cadance and I had found ourselves on the top of the grand staircase in the entrance hall. Before us stood two columns of people separated by a long red carpet with golden trim. At the front of the two columns were the usual royal guards clutching their spears and before them were people that appeared to be nobles or members of Celestia's court.

Instinctively, the columns before us bowed down to greet their princess as loud instrumental music played. Being a collectivist, I obviously hated the sight of seeing people bow down to someone. I couldn't put in words, but I was disgusted by the idea that one person, through arbitrary circumstances, was deemed superior to the masses. Of course, Cadance was an exception since she earned her position and that she and Celestia weren't brats about their status. Still, I knew these reactionaries thought of their alicorns as omnipotent autocrats.

I knew that they were only bowing to Cadance and not the collectivist political officer opposed to such a practice. Still, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if someone started treating me as a king.

The crowd finally stood up straight and many directed their eyes towards me, looking at me with utter suspicion. I honestly could not fully blame them given their own class interests, but that didn't mean I had to submit to them just because I was in love with Cadance.

With my free left hand that wasn't clutching Cadance's, I smirked and raised my left hand in a clenched fist salute. As expected, this triggered a few scowls and mummers from the crowd. The clenched fist salute was the official greeting gesture of my nation as it was used by Arstrotzkan revolutionaries as a sign of solidarity against the bourgeoisie.

"Was that really necessary?" muttered Cadance under the music.

"Why, of course." I quietly replied, triggering a muffled laugh from Cadance.

Holding our hands tight, Cadance and I walked down the stair case and across the carpet. Cadance, ever the optimist, kept a bright smile on as we walked passed the crowd. I on the other hand kept a smirk not because I was trying to please them, but because I knew how infuriated they were finding out that Cadance and I had fallen in love.

We approached the end of the carpet and Cadance tugged me to turn back and face the top of the staircase to await our guests.

I felt Cadance squeeze my hand hard and whisper in my ear. "Not matter what happens, we'll get through this."

The Squire took a deep breath before shouting the newly arrived guests. "Introducing Captain Of The Royal Guard....Primus Hurricane and his fair wife..Lady Opulence Equites!"

At the top of the stair case stood a well built man who was obviously Primus Hurricane. He was tall, slightly taller than Cadance and I, with a muscular body, a shining bald head, piercing orange eyes and a thick brownish red beard that accompanied a matching pair of wings. Primus looked like he came straight out of a body builder magazine ready to give you some useless life tips.

Had I not known what type of guard he led, I honestly would have been intimidated.

Opulence on the other hand was an average sized lady, albeit with a clearly athletic build. Perhaps she spent a lot of her time sporting in some fancy country club or her husband held her to some standard. Her skin was a darker shade with a brunette hair style tied into a bun and pale blue eyes. Indeed, were it not for blue stripe that flowed in a lock of her hair, she was probably the most 'normal' looking Equestrian I had seen thus far.

The two of them, walked down the path towards me in Cadance. A royal military march tune played as they moved through the carpet, the couple holding hands and standing proud as if they were ready to accept some sort of victory.

Primus was clad in a red military dress uniform while his wife was clad in a poofy white dress that she held up on one side with the hand that wasn't holding Primus'. Although strapless like Cadance's, Opulent's dress was a lot more conservative, but her lack of a noticeable bust made it harder to see any skin other than the tip of her chest.

I was a little anxious, but this place was right up Cadance's area of expertise. I knew I had to make an effort to prove myself, but I was confident that Cadance knew what to do to get ourselves out of this.

Opulence and Primus finally stood in front of us. Without even blinking, Cadance merely stood tall and confident, a smirk on her face. I couldn't replicate her exact demeanor, but I smirked myself and stood tall. I had met with other dignitaries from the great powers before, so I knew how to posture and present myself, but these two probably hated my very existence and that changed everything.

Primus shot us a piercing glare, as if he was a father scolding his daughter for dating a boy he didn't like. Opulence, who Primus had comically towered, had a look of disappointment on her face, clearly wishing that Cadance had chosen someone else.

The Squire raised his voice once more. "INTRODUCING....Countess Avarice Puddinghead!"

"Oh boy," I whispered.

"What?" muttered Cadance.

"She's a countess named Avarice."

"Oh."

Now at the top of the stair case was a woman with green hair and magenta eyes wearing a plain sunflower yellow dress. Avarice's demeanor was pretty conflicting, being both once of anguish and one of boredom. She reminded me of some angry stoners and I reckoned that she had a pack in that golden purse she carried.

In fact, my suspicions were confirmed at that instant when she took a joint out of her purse and smoked it with a lighter. All of a sudden, her eyes appeared to glow red and her expression was calmed, but not brightened.

Avarice moved pretty quickly down the stairs, saving no time to look graceful or proud unlike Primus and Opulence. Cadance and I were still clasping hands, but we merely shot her a confused look as she continued to stare at us.

Avarice was around the normal height of a woman, so she was looking up at me and Cadance, but her suspicious stare could probably turn most giants into sobbing fools. She was looking at Cadance as if she had some sort of disease and was trying to identify the cure, while she looked me as if I was the virus.

Another announcement blazed. "NOW PRESENTING...his highness and fellow majesty...Prince Blueblood Platinum and Ms. Sassy Saddles!"

"Oh you're fucking with me." I hissed, nearly face palming.

"Relax. One night." whispered Cadance.

Now at the top of the stairs stood perhaps the closest thing to a well recurring nemesis in my life. Prince Blueblood was Cadance's 'cousin' despite the lack of blood relation between them. Blueblood, unlike Cadance who was adopted and earned her alicornhood, was born into royalty as his name implied. Let's just say in a nation that more or less outlawed and vilified nepotism and inheritance, this was not okay with our population.

Blueblood wore an extravagant white suit with a black collar and blue tie that he seemed to favor for most occasions. His hair was a slick blond which I'm sure he wasted hundreds on cosmetics to maintain and his posture stood tall and proud.

Blueblood's expression on the other hand was atypical of him. He seemed very clearly lost in thought, a process I didn't think he was capable of attaining, as if he was looking for something he had lost. Perhaps his humility or empathy.

At his side was a girl around his age that sported orange and blond hair with hazel eyes. Sassy wore a dress I could only describe as designer, being long, fancy and sporting a rich violet color with frilly ends at the sleeves and collar. It wasn't revealing at all, but it certainly helped bring out her features that I had to admit were beautiful.

Unlike Blueblood who looked like he was solving a mystery in his head, Sassy had her arms crossed and was staring at Blueblood with a raised eyebrow.

The crowd had bowed before Blueblood as they did for any other royal, but their motion was quick and hasty unlike the more graceful kneel they gave for Cadance. Of course, I didn't bow for shit.

Blueblood grabbed Sassy's hand without hesitation and proceeded to drag her down the stairs to join us. Blueblood stood up proud and haughty like he always did, but he was clearly rushing to get towards me and Cadance, and the smirk on his face made him look like he was about to pick a fight with me. It wouldn't have been the first given his history with me, my friends, and pretty much any other non Equestrian young person who met him.

Sassy on the other hand struggled to keep up with Bluebloood, whose fast walking pace was clearly throwing her off.

As Blueblood walked towards me, I began to notice a pattern among the last names of our guests tonight. I lightly squeezed Cadance's hand and she instinctively turned her ear towards me.

I whispered my realization into her ear."Platinum? Puddinghead? Hurricane? Aren't these 3 of the 6 families that found Equestria?"

"Why do you think they're the most powerful families in the country right now?" quietly said Cadance, hoping that the others couldn't hear us whisper over the music.

"Blueblood, slow down!" yelped Sassy, who was promptly ignored by her date tonight.

Blueblood stood next to the Hurricanes and Puddinghead, who shot them a smug look, evidently hoping for a mutual feeling. Primus merely stood with his arms crossed, glaring at me and not even shooting Blueblood a glance while Avarice merely focused on her smoke. Blueblood in return let out an exasperated sigh.

Cadance and I were ignoring the other nobles in favor of her cousin, who looked like he was about to say something pretentious before the Squire made one final announcement.

"HER HIGHNESS...ALICORN OF THE SUN AND SUPREME MONARCH OF EQUESTRIA...PRINCESS CELESTIA!"

The music exploded with fanfare with the most upbeat and glorious melodies the musicians could muster. Everyone in the room with the exception of the musicians bowed down immediately at the sight of their ruler.

While Celestia was someone that I still respected as an individual, I still could not bring myself to bow down to her given my beliefs and upbringing. Thus when Cadance herself bowed down before her aunt, I still stood and our hands immediately disconnected, prompting me to look down at her and up again.

Needless to say, my mouth dropped upon seeing the Alicorn of the sun on top of the staircase.

Celestia stood tall and mighty as usual, her very presence reflecting a bright aura I could only describe as heavenly. The dress she wore was very similar to Cadance's, strapless, regal and pretty revealing. The only difference was that Celestia's dress was a pale white and she still had a lot of her royal regalia such as her crown on, emphasizing her nearly god like demeanor.

The dress hugged Celestia's formed tightly and perfectly outlined her curvy and amazonian body that was very well endowed at her chest and hips. I could see a significant amount of her breast's cleavage and mounds, the rest of her tits struggling to hold that strapless white dress up. A cut at her dress revealed her long pale leg and just the beginnings of her thigh where I could spot a bit of her sun shaped cutie mark. Indeed, her voluptuous body was pretty was essentially the bustier, curvier and taller version of Cadance's perfect form, which I thought was impossible to pull off.

Like Cadance, her hair was tied back in a long ponytail that sparkled an ethereal green, magenta and blue, a sign of her being a naturally born alicorn. Everything about her just screamed 'ruler of this place.'

Indeed, it was easy to see why no ambassador or world leader from the great powers could resist her.

Celestia placed a white gloved hand at her hip and nodded towards me, evidently not ticked off that I wasn't bowing down like the others. With a simple wave with her other gloved hand, Celestia gracefully made her way down the stairs, her hips swaying seductively and always flashing more of her ample body.

I couldn't help but gaze at her wonderful vibrant body even if was obviously pissing off every Equestrian in the room by not bowing down. I had seen Celestia in bikinis before, but I was still drawn to her nonetheless, wondering if her buxom breasts would fail to hold her dress up and reveal her voluptuous body. Her movements were hypnotic and the bobbing of her thighs, hips and breasts were nearly driving me to arousal.

"She's beautiful isn't she?"

I nodded. "Yeah I..." I finally regained a hold of myself and glanced to my side, seeing Cadance also gazing at her 'aunt'.

I blushed, realizing that I was just lusting after Celestia while the woman I loved was right next to me. This wasn't good. There was no way I could risk losing Candace's affections after coming so far.

I gulped. "Well...she's not as beautiful as you are kotenok."

Cadance clasped my hand again, evidently not taking offense. "Don't worry Lev, she's the most beautiful woman on the planet. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to admit that."

"But you are the Princess of Love. It's your job to be fairest of them all." I smiled, thankful that she wasn't mad at me.

"Oh come on, I'm sure that disqualifies me from competing for the title." joked Cadance.

Celestia finally made her way across the hall, facing me and Cadance. Although she was around as tall as Primus, she did manage to make me feel slightly intimidated. It was not by trying to be ferocious or threatening however, but the very fact that she was over a thousand years old despite looking and having the demeanor of a 30 year old demi goddess well into her prime.

Celestia beamed at me and Cadance happily and placed a hand on both of us. "How are you two doing?"

"Pretty well auntie." gleefully replied Cadance, ever optimistic.

"I'm doing fine too Celestia." I nervously said. It was a little hard to focus with two curvy women in revealing dresses having their bodies touch.

"Were your rides and accommodations sufficient?" asked Celestia.

"More than enough." I replied.

"It's wonderful to have you here Lev. You would not believe how happy I am for you and Cadance." assured Celestia.

"Thank you so much auntie." cheered Cadance.

Celestia looked at the nobles to our side and then back to me. Her sparkling pink eyes were too captivating for me. "I hope you don't mind our guests, they insisted on inviting themselves over once word got out that you and Cadance would be on a date tonight."

I smiled sheepishly, trying to form coherent words and not ,look at her legs or cleavage. "It's no problem Celestia..I..uh..."

Celestia giggled. "I don't mind if you stare Lev, I know us Alicorns are inherently alluring."

"It's all the more adorable when you get nervous anyway." chuckled Cadance.

I could hear the heavy breathing from Primus amid the fanfare. Oh how he must have wanted to pulverize me. Equestrians were intimidated by Celestia because they saw her as an infallible deity that shouldn't be consorted. Those from the great powers saw her as human, but immortal, wise, magically powerful, charismatic and beautiful. Obviously, those two visions of Celestia clashed as Equestrians had to deal with Celestia having affairs with non Equestrians who respected her, but still wanted Equestria kept in its place amid the balance of power.

Celestia faced the crowd raised a hand, causing the music to die down. "Rise, my most wonderful subjects."

Everyone from the guards to the nobles rose up and stood still, proud to be before their Princess. I really hated the word "subject" for obvious reasons, but it was technically accurate for Celestia to use it.

"Thank you all for coming here on this fine evening and making what was supposed to be a simple dinner a spectacular event." greeted Celestia, clasping her hands together. "Tonight we are honoring a very special guest, so I would like to give Mr. Lev Vissarinovich Ulyanov a round of applause for coming here all the way from the People's Republic of Arstrotzka."

The crowd, even the 5 highly ranked 'guests', very reluctantly started clapping their hands solely because Celestia said so. If a smirk on Celestia's face was anything to go by, I'm guessing she found the sight rather amusing.

As the applause immediately died down, I once again raised my left hand and clenched it into a raised fist. The collectivist salute of solidarity might as well would have been the middle finger to the people of Canterlot since many of them replied with sneers and scowls or fumes of rage in the case of Primus. I found bowing to be equally abhorrent as well, so sue me. Cadance meanwhile seemed to find the situation rather funny like her aunt, finding the mutual frustration me and the people of Canterlot had for each other hilarious.

"Our chefs have prepared a wonderful dinner for us tonight," continued Celestia, her voice magically enhanced to be heard across hall while not sounding mechanical like one speaking through a microphone. "It is my hope that tonight will be absolutely magical."

There was a clear bit of snark in Celestia's voice in that last line. She knew how this whole thing was going to play out tonight.

"Anything you would like to say Lev?" asked Celestia.

I bit my lip and glanced at Cadance who was looking at me encouragingly and to the crowd and nobles that were looking at me like a witch that needed to be burned.

".......By any chance are there nobles named Chester Bum or Poor E. Broke?" I finally let out in a rather nonchalant, but still audible to the entire hall, way.

For a second there was silence, and then Celestia let out an adorable laugh at my quip followed by Cadance's chuckle escalating as well. On cue, many others in the crowd started slowly laughing, but their's wasn't genuine and lacked enthusiasm.

Celestia caught her breath and tipped her face a bit forward to me. "Well, I guess our names do go hand in hand with our destinies and cutie marks. I'd imagine we'd be doomed as a nation if all future children were named 'Mess Up' and 'Oblivious Failure'."

Celestia then placed both of her gloved hands on her hips and slightly swayed them to the side, her voice and tone somewhat seductive. "Is there anything else you'd like to say Mr. Ulyanov?"

I looked at Cadance smiling at me, patient for me to say something. Normally hesitating before speaking was a big no no for a Commissar, especially one involved in embassy work. However, my work was with other great power nations, not going on public and extravagant dates.

I formed a naughty grin and Cadance returned the favor, evidently predicting what I was about to say.

I cleared my throat. "Why yes, I would like to thank Alicorn of Love, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, for inviting me over and making this all possible. I love my People's Republic, but I'd never pass the opportunity to meet with her in Canterlot, for now she means the world to me."

And then it happened. Cadance and I hugged each other closely and without even wasting a second, kissed each other passionately, making sure that everyone could see it. I didn't care about all the gasps and cries of shock and anger that permeated the room, for all that mattered was that I was embracing the women that I loved.

If any of these reactionary blokes had something to say about Cadance kissing a foreigner, they remained silent out of fear of being chided by their Princesses. I still expected someone to come lashing out at us violently as we embraced, but nobody dared lift a finger against an alicorn and someone whose nation had agents and secret police all over the world.

Cadance and I finally parted our lips and looked lovingly into each other's eyes, trying not to laugh at the reactions we just provoked. We eyed Celestia, who looked more than happy for her 'niece' finding love.

Celestia quickly raised her voice before someone could cry scandal. "Now isn't that just lovely? What lies before me is a love that our country has never seen before. Truly, this dinner is something...revolutionary. Now that we've had our introductions out of the way. I will be escorting our guests to the dining hall. Thank you everyone who had come here just to welcome our most esteemed guests for tonight, I regret that you could not stay longer."

And just like that, the band and the other nobles standing in the two columns on other side of the carpet dispersed. They headed to other parts of the castle or exited through what I presumed would be alternate entrances.

I raised an eyebrow. "That's it for these guys? They're just heading out? What was the point of showing up?"

"Hey, gotta make every little thing Celestia and I do some grand spectacle." chirped Cadance.

And then that was when Primus and Blueblood began approaching me, the former with a scowl and the latter with a sneer. I really didn't want to get into a shouting match this early.

Thankfully, I felt Celestia's hand on mine and Cadance's elbows and sure enough, she was standing right behind us with grin.

"Now that we're all here, I think it's time to head to the dining hall," pointed Celestia. "I don't want to keep our chefs waiting."

Blueblood raised his voice and pulled Sassy close. "Heading to dinner with those garments? You two might as well be in lingerie with all that skin you're flashing."

Cadance and Celestia both raised an eyebrow.

Cadance sighed. "You're not entitled to decide how we choose to dress Blueblood."

"True, but I am entitled to an opinion aren't I?" defended Blueblood. "And surely you two shouldn't look like you're whoring yourself out to these foreign jackboots. I mean, what would the public think of two women acting and looking like prostitutes for our adversaries?"

Celestia remained calm. "First, our sex lives aren't your concern. Second, our law is that women are free to do as they please with their bodies with whomever consents as is everyone else. "

I chimed in. "And third, what you said was really bordering on slut shaming. I mean, there is nothing wrong with being a prostitute for they can be vital parts of our econo.."

"Oh my gosh, there you go with the social justice ravings." interrupted an annoyed Avarice, who had been occupied with her joint. "Do you Arstrotzkans ever shut up and stop butting in the second you hear something you don't like?"

Cadance answered for me. "Well, if their intellectual thinkers had shut up 250 years ago, then I guess they wouldn't have had the revolution that made them a superpower on the first place."

"Oh, and what a better world that would be." muttered Opulence, speaking with a bit of a high pitch. "No 4 authoritarian lands from Tartarus with subversive ideas to infuriate us."

Celestia rolled her eyes and took her hands off mine and Cadance's elbows and took a step to the entrance of a hallway. "I believe that this dinner will be the perfect time to discuss what will be a very important night in the history of Equestria, so let's get going."

"Finally!" sighed Sassy, who I'm guessing didn't want to get involved in the politics.

Primus raised his hand and a contingent of around 12 royal guards that were still standing in two columns approached us. I figured that he wanted them all close on me to either harass or intimidate me from getting to close to Cadance.

Celestia rolled her eyes. "The guards will be unnecessary tonight Primus."

Primus cursed under his breath. His voice was posh like all others from Canterlot, but was pretty deep. "Are your sure your majesty? Surely with the most powerful Equestrians in the land gathered here today, we'll need all the security we can get."

"Believe me," I chimed up. "Whether we have royal guards or not will literally make no difference to our overall security standing. Besides, we have two strong and lovely alicorns here to take care of anything antagonistic."

I also figured any threats to me here in Canterlot would be terminated by whatever Arstrotzkan secret police were stationed here, but that quip was worth it just to see Cadance blush.

"It's decided then!" cheered Celestia.

Primus and his guards nearly turned red, losing almost all of their composure. How they must have wanted to chuck their spears at me and miss, because of course they would.

With a whip of her glowing hand, Celestia magically opened a grand doorway that rivaled the main entrance in terms of size. In front of me, the path to the royal dining room was in sight, but we'd have to walk through a long hallway first. That would be joyous.

With Celestia at the lead, the group moved forward and followed her to the dining room. Celestia's walking pace was pretty quick, so either she was really hungry or knew just wanted to distract us long enough to delay some dickering.

The hall we walked through was large and grand, with old stained glass pictures of Celestia and some other important historical events for decoration. I recognized works depicting events such as Hearth's Warming Eve and the sealing of Discord. I personally wondered if a marriage between Cadance and I would be worthy enough for a stained glass picture.

Speaking of Cadance, I found my gaze drawn away from the glass paintings and onto her form. All that skin her dress exposed was more than enough to drive me crazy already, but seeing her bare legs and breasts sway from side to side was just mesmerizing. That was nothing to say of the view I had of Celestia's bare back and rocking rear.

THUD

Primus had suddenly bumped his elbow into mine and nearly through me off balance. Cadance and I immediately glared at him with an annoyed expression, only for him to do the same directly back at me.

I shrugged it off and went back to admiring Cadance's and Celestia's form with nothing better to do, but was distracted by Primus' heavy breathing that wouldn't end until I eyed him or the stained glass. Again and again, every time I glanced at Celestia and Cadance, he would either bump into me or make his breathing really loud.

I rolled my eyes. He really was like some father from an outdated era, not letting his 'daughters' be admired by their dates and keeping their whole affair as prudish as possible. Luckily, Celestia eyed Primus with a look that effectively said 'stop it' and Primus relented in defeat. Much to his chagrin and my pleasure, I proceeded to continue taking my peaks.

All the while, I could here Sassy struggling to keep with Blueblood, who was dragging her forward relentlessly as he continued to stare aimlessly at the sky with his inquisitive look.

Sassy finally hit her breaking point. "For crying out loud, could you please slow down?"

Blueblood didn't even bother facing her direction. "Come now, we must get this event through. You should feel lucky that I invited you along for something as important as this."

Avarice let out a dry fake chuckle in the midst of her smoke. "I wouldn't call a date with you lucky Blueblood."

"I thought we were going to have a romantic dinner for two in a restaurant!" protested Sassy.

"Well, this is a dinner and surely you understand the importance of not wanting our livelihoods threatened by jackbooted armies?" defended Blueblood.

"You're overreacting to this," groaned Sassy.

Primus knitted his eyebrows and looked straight at me. "That reminds me Lev. I know you hate our ways of life, but I don't want any trouble from you or I'll have to send in my guards to escort you out or worse."

I spoke with the highest amount of snark I could muster. "Oh noo, I'm sooo scared by your Royal Guard." My tone shifted to normal. "Your own men are a bigger safety hazard then I ever will be."

Opulence scowled. "How dare you respond to my husband in that tone you.."

"Oh here we are!" interrupted Celestia, whose voice clearly had some sense of annoyance to it.

The dining room was huge. The ceiling stretched far high and was decorated with more chandeliers than I could count.

The actual dining table itself was comically small in comparison. It was neatly decorated with ornate kitchen utensils, assorted alcohols, flowers and a white cloth. It really helped contribute to the empty feeling of this place.

"Normally, our tables stretch much further than this," said Celestia, who might as well would have been reading my mind. "But for now it is just the seven of us."

Cadance clenched my hand tighter and pulled me quickly to follow Celestia as we all began to take our seats. Celestia and Cadance quickly sat down with Cadance nudging me forward to sit between them before a jackass drove as apart. Unfortunately for me, Blueblood grabbed the seat directly facing me on the other side of the table, meaning that I had to stare at his pompous face for the next hour.

Avarice meanwhile looked at her smokes and sighed, knowing she probably wasn't welcome to smoke a drug during dinner. She looked up and glanced at me with her inquisitive gaze. "I have to admit, your Equestrian is pretty good for a foreigner, if heavily accented."

I didn't exactly take that as a compliment given what I believed to be racist undertones in her remark, but I answered nonetheless. "Well, Equestria might not be a great power now, but for centuries it was a cultural capital. That's why in Arstrotzka and I'd imagine other countries, we learn Equestrian alongside our native tongues."

"If I'm not mistaken, you work in an embassy right?" checked Opulence, her tone indicating that she thought my profession was bore.

"Yes, for the Germane Reich's." I nodded. "My Germane is a little rusty, but I can hold conversations when I need to. Most of the time we just converse in Equestrian or they may even know Arstrotzkan."

Cadance eyed me. "How is your Tromance by the way?"

I smiled sheepishly, having promised Cadance a while back that I'd learn her native language. "I'm getting the hang of your Haytalian dialect, but the Prench form is awful."

"Oh, but it's the language of love." said Cadance in an exaggerated girlish tone.

"And a language the Equestrian elite from all over knows well." added Opuelence. "Since you work in an embassy and wish to romance Cadance, I trust you will know how to behave yourself in the midst of highly important people right?" checked Opulence.

"Perhaps, but the Germanes are a very different ethnic Equestrian people from you...well...Equestrians." I replied.

Primus scoffed. "Those Germanes aren't Equestrian. They're an artificial population made up of magic-less barbarians uplifted by that queer Kaiser Krieg in his war against the Troman Empire after he betrayed them. They don't even have Earth People, just highly messed up Pegasai and Unicorns."

Cadance and Celestia shot their eyes open at that remark, considering that Krieg was Celestia's uncle. However, since Krieg was flamboyant and responsible for breaking up what was considered by many to be a great, but really corrupt empire, he wasn't popular with the elite.

I raised my voice. "For starters, you might want to play down the innate homophobia. Krieg might bean effeminate homosexual, but he's also an incarnate of war. Furthermore, the Germanes consider it both offensive and literally politically incorrect to refer to the fall of Trome as a betrayal, as Krieg had been exiled by his pantheon and had to wage a revolution to..."

"Oh what do I care for their feelings." snorted Primus. "Germaney is already the most militarized nation in the planet and..."

"Enough!" interrupted Celestia, who immediately formed a smile. "Now that we're all settled, I'd like to make a toast."

Celestia simply swayed her gloved hand which now glowed a yellow color. In conjugation, the bottle of alcohol glowed yellow as well and were levitated off the cloth. One by one Celestia magically poured the drinks into the wineglasses and them fastened them back down. Everyone stared at their cup greedily, with the exception of me.

"For you all, I have the finest champagne available in Canterlot grown from our farmland's most delectable grapes," mused Celestia. "For Lev however, I have brought his favorite."

My eyes widened to a pleasant surprise. In front of me, Celestia levitated a bottle of Smarenov Ice Vodka, produced by the first vodka making collective in Arstrotzka after the revolution. The bottle magically tipped over and the clear white fizzing liquid filled up my glass.

"Hmph," snorted Opulence. "That's such a working class beverage."

"Why do you that's all we drink?" I retorted, grabbing my glass once Celestia was done pouring it.

Cadance and Celestia held up their champagne glasses and the other nobles reluctantly followed.

"A toast," called Celestia with some smug satisfaction. "To our guest Lev Vissarinovich Ulyanov."

Without saying a word, the nobles took a sip of their alcohol while Cadance, Celestia and I cheered ours. The vodka tasted just as good and sweet as it did back in the People's Republic, a clear sign that this was an export and not a local knock off. Since Arstrotzka pretty much cornered the market for Vodka, I'd always think that we could win over workers in all nations with this cheap, yet tasty, drink.

"Thanks for the surprise." I beamed to Celestia who returned the smile.

"I just hope you don't expect us to surprise you with meat on your plate," interjected Avarice. "I hope that won't be a problem for you."

"Oh, not at all." I smiled, making sure that my canine teeth which weren't present in herbivorous Equestrians mouths were showing. I managed to somewhat freak out Avarice with my Terran teeth, which I called a success.

"Don't worry Lev," assured Cadance. "You'll really like what we're going to be serving. I handpicked it myself."

"That's good to hear Kotenok." I nodded.

"Kotenok?" smirked Sassy.

"It means kitten in my dialect of Arstrotzkan." I explained.

Sassy grinned evidently thinking it was cute,, but Blueblood of course had to speak out.

"Kotenok?" he spat. "Oh my, it's getting worse than I feared."

"Well, I for one think it's a adorable." defended Celestia, her voice both dry and happy.

"Adorable?" frowned Blueblood. "What is adorable about this abomination sitting before us? How did this happen?"

I raised my eyebrow in offence and as did Celestia, but it was Cadance who spoke up against him.

"Oh boy, here we go," sighed Cadance. "I foresaw that I'd have to defend my relationship from the likes of people like you."

"Well, we wouldn't be having dinner right here if you had just chosen your boyfriend more wisely." scowled Blueblood.

"I doubt that," laughed Cadance in a sarcastic manner. She really had this whole thing down. "I'm sure that had I chosen Shining, you'd still be ticked at me and we'd be having this chat about he's not 100% perfect for me."

"Ridiculous!" yelled Primus. "Shining Armor is a fine young man who has been excelling quite well in the tasks assigned to him by his superiors. Why, I see a future for him as my successor as Captain, so imagine a union between the Alicorn of Love and Captain of the Royal Guard. He's adept at magic, comes from a noble background, very well mannered.."

"And not who I've chosen Captain Primus." deadpanned Cadance, her voice very authoritative. She made Primus catch his breath but, he did not let down his position.

"I just don't get it." shrugged Blueblood. "I mean I expected everything between you and Shining to amount to marriage. He starts out as this dorky kid nobody would give a rat's ass about only to win your heart at prom knight. Then to top it off, he mans up by becoming a royal guard while his sister trains under Celestia's wing. A perfect, but tacky love story if you ask me."

Blueblood shook his hands to the side, nearly hitting Sassy. "Like seriously! Did fate decide to just rewrite itself in the midst of a perfect progression? It's like we were focused on this perfect union between a Guardsmen and Princess only for the Collectivist Jackboots from across the arctic interject themselves in this narrative like they always do at the worst times."

I smiled and shrugged, prompting a few angry stares from people.

Cadance seemed to be enjoying the argument herself. "Well cousin, I'm afraid like doesn't always work like we think it should. If you, and for the matter all you other nobles, truly respect me as an Alicorn Princess, then I'm afraid you'll have to learn to not dictate my love life."

"Respect?" shook Opulence. "How could you possibly respect yourself as the peak of human and royal perfection by dating HIM?"

Primus backed up his wife. "Dozens of perfect Equestrians to choose from and yet you go with an Arstrotzkan Political Officer! Arstrotzkan men are nothing more than ballsless cowards that have forgotten their place as a race of ghetto dwellers masturbating each other on deluded ideas of equality."

I knitted my eyebrows. "Okay, that was simultaneously racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and classist...so bingo?"

Cadance and Celestia audibly snickered from that remark.

At that moment a few servers bustled into the room, carrying plates and trays. Each of them were clad in a white uniform and wore hats that obscured their multicolored hair. Some of the servants were clearly unicorns, given that they were levitating their glowing plates with magic.

One by one, the servers sat plate after plate on our table and even refilled our drinks. I had the liberty of noticing however that I was served last and only received my dish by magic. When a server came to give Cadance her meal, I noticed that he had shot me an uncomfortable look.

A rather plump man clad in a chef's uniform stood before us. He took off his giant white hat, revealing a set of short magenta hair. His eyes were closed and his expression was haughty, which I assumed was normal for his profession, being a chef for the Princesses and all.

He spoke with an accent that was posh, but clearly not Equestrian. "Today we are serving our most beloved Princesses and her noble entourage one of the finest dishes from Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's homeland."

I noticed that he had left me out of his introduction, but oh well. With a whip of his fingers, the silver coverings of on the plates were lifted, revealing some pretty fine and fancy looking food. Not what I ate normally, but this was a formal occasion.

The Chef continued. "Presenting you Spring Pasta with cherry tomatoes and carpese salad on the side. Please enjoy!"

"Thank you Chef." nodded Celestia. "You are free to leave if you wish."

The Chef bowed and left while I looked at my food, ready to dig in. Celestia took the first bite and the rest followed suit. I took a bite of the pasta, admiring its taste. I normally preferred flesh with my meals, but the Equestrians were vegetarians and good food was good food.

"Are you enjoying it Lev?" asked Cadance. "You're eating pretty quick."

I swallowed what was in my mouth. "It's pretty good. I haven't eaten anything for the entire day."

"Oh dear, another food shortage in Arstrotzka?" snarked Avarice.

"Haha very funny." I sarcastically remarked. "You may have had a point a hundred years ago, but food production in Arstrotzkan collectives have rapidly increased and stabilized. Besides, even if our collective farms don't work your cousins in Mareope aren't willing to turn down our technology in exchange for their crops."

"Sometimes I wish they had bigger balls to stand up to the scrawny worms in tour country." sneered Primus. "Look at you. You look like nothing more than a common city boy yanked from the street. Hardly any noticeable muscle in you and you probably spend your days doing nothing more than filling in papers and settling your arguments with bullets and informants rather than brawn and honor."

"Sorry Primus," sighed Cadance. "But I think their advancements have rendered your brawn and honor obsolete at best and suicidal at worst."

"And I admit," I piped up with a chuckle. "Arstrotzkan men aren't exactly what others would conventionally call masculine. Our girls though, oh man...they might have a lot of traditional feminine beauty in them, but with their height and strength they might as well be a separate race of Celestias. Besides, Arstrotzkan men had to do something after the revolution rather than just staying at home while the women worked in fields and factories, so bureaucracy it was!"

"Huh, an entire race of me." purred Celestia while twirling her fork, delighted in the idea.

"Still, I believe Cadance deserves to have a real man, not some scrawny authoritarian thug." huffed Opulence after swallowing a bite.

"The irony of a noble calling me an authoritarian." I countered.

"Seriously though!" yelled Blueblood. "How did you end up with an Arstrotzkan amid a ton of more viable candidates?"

Cadance sighed. "If there's anything I hate, it's people telling me how to live my love life."

"With all due respect cousin, you do know that your love life as a Princess has a massive effect on all of us?" noted Blueblood.

"He has a point." I admitted.

"Yes, but you do know that as the Alicorn embodiment of love, I should know my own path in this better than anyone?" countered Cadance.

"She has a point." nodded Sassy with a laugh which I returned.

Cadance took a deep breath. "For the past few years I've gotten suitor after suitor from Equestrian nobles to princes from the Mareopian kingdoms all asking my hand in marriage. However, not only were the vast majority of them absolute jerks devoid from anything going on in the real world outside their luxury, but all have been interested in me solely because of my alicornhood and title as Princess. Those who've approached me are more interested in being the patriarch of the next line of alicorns than truly forming a meaningful relationship with me."

"Oh, I know you feel about that!" assured Blueblood with a gloat. "You went through the typical 'Princess rejects snobby nobles in favor of the man who loves you for who you are' story. What I didn't expect, was that man to be a Collectivist enforcer that hates what we stand for."

Sassy slammed her fist on the table, startling the crowd. "For the love of all that is pure Blueblood! Life isn't a story book, so how about you just accept Cadance's decision and move on?"

"Move on!" scowled Primus. "How are we supposed to move on as Equestria when the only alicorn who can produce a royal line and rebirth a nearly extinct pantheon chooses someone who cannot claim royal titles and rejects them anyway? Someone whose very genetics will pollute Cadance's and result in a child devoid of all the magical wonder in Cadance's blood?"

Normally, Artrotzkan Commissars would be lashing out right now at the abhorrent displays of racism with no relent, but this humored me more than angered.

"Do you really not see the importance of continuing your royal line my Princess?" questioned Opulence.

Cadance paused for a moment. "To be quite honest, I kind of like the idea that alicornhood and royalty should be earned rather than something passed down by arbitrary bloodlines." She turned to Celestia. "No offense auntie!"

"Oh well, I didn't get to choose my parents." shrugged Celestia, taking a sip of her drink.

"Great," muttered the normally quiet Avarice with her stoned expression as she shoved her picked clean plate aside. "The Arstrotzkan has been infecting her mind."

Opulence shook her head. "Your highness, you must abandon this idea that lineage does not matter. Hierarchy is and has always been, the natural state of life and the commoners need powerful Alicorns to lead and inspire."

"Oh, pure ideology!" I sniffed. "That's just the bullshit excuse you nobles have to stay in power. Granted Equestria doesn't progress through class struggle and dialectical materialism like Arstrotzkans do, but to say your power is natural and not the result of interlocking institutions backed by tradition and force wreaks of ignorance and privilege."

"And to take that away, I suppose the solution is revolution and force?" snorted Primus. "Where does that barbarity lead you?"

"Being a great power and the most industrialized nation on the planet?" I smiled, prompting another chuckle from Cadance and Celestia.

"A great power that wants nothing more than to spread its ideals and disrupt our natural order." argued Blueblood. "Really, am I the only one here who knows what's really going on? This entire relationship is just some ruse by the Arstrotzkan People's Republic to get Lev and Cadance together to cut off an alicorn bloodline."

"Oh, because that must be it." sarcastically said Cadance. "Lev couldn't possibly love me for any reason right?"

"Come now, do you really think that a hardline Collectivist government is just going to let one of its political officers just date a Princess without some ulterior motive?" noted Blueblood. "If Lev's blood didn't overwrite an alicorn's, they'd be prying him away from you as far as possible if they didn't exile or execute him first for having feelings for you."

Cadance didn't reply to that and neither did I. In a way, Blueblood was right. The Arstrotzkan government did have a clear interest in my relationship with her, because a family of Alicorn royals and their succeeding generations would be a problem for the balance of power in the long run. Not to mention, we just straight up hated the concept of royal bloodlines and would do anything to diminish them.

"Blueblood," I finally said after a pause. "Perhaps, my government does have an interest in what I'm doing with Cadance and maybe they wouldn't let me date her in another scenario, but I for one am only striking a relationship with her because well...I love her."

Cadance and Celestia, heck even Sassy, smiled warmly at that. The others responded with either scowls or eye rolls.

I took a deep breath, taking a sip of vodka to cool my nerves and continued. "I know that my relationship with Cadance seems out of the ordinary and perhaps I'm being backed by an ulterior force, but I choose to be with Cadance I want to, not because of some grand conspiracy that others would want to come true."

Avarice raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? You, an Arstrotzkan political officer that believes fully in Collectivism, dating a Princess because you love her. Are you sure you're not under her love spells?"

Cadance chewed down a bite of her salad and cleared her throat. "You do know that it would simply be easier to make Lev fall in love with me rather than keep up some complicated spell right?"

I blushed at Cadance admitting her feelings for me.

"And," interrupted Celestia. "Using a love spell on Lev would be very bad for us diplomatically. I mean, 'invade and bomb our country into oblivion for charming a foreign officer' bad."

I spoke up to defend myself. "Look, I might be a collectivist that believes in the dictatorship of the proletariat, but that doesn't mean I can't love a Princess. Equestria is not ready for our form of governing, so I'll make do with the Princess until Equestria progresses."

"You speak of it as an inevitability." glared Opulence.

"Well, that's what I believe." I shrugged. "Until then, how could I not love Cadance? She's smart, we both love to chat up on politics, really kind and considerate...why should I care that she's a Princess?"

"Trust me, an Arstrotzkan must really love you if they don't care about your class background." assured Cadance, blushing with delight.

In that case," uttered Avarice. "I guess Lev really does love her and I must thus stand by my Princess, but consider me disappointed."

"Disappointed?" frowned Primus. "Color me and my wife furious at this betrayal of our ideals."

"I'm just surprised and concerned." stated Blueblood. "I mean a Collectivist and Princess falling in love? Are you aware of the repercussions?"

"What repercussions are you talking about?" inquired Cadance.

"Don't be blind your highness!" hissed Primus. "That nation of Arstrotzka is teeming with secret police, criminals who actually have the capacity to kill and a population that might lynch you for your own existence."

"Oh don't worry, Cadance will be safe." I countered. "Nothing ever bad happens to the beautiful ones in Arstrotzka."

"The beautiful ones?" frowned Opulence.

"Yeah. I don't know what it is about our People's Republic, but there's literally a correlation between bad luck and looks, so I guess we have some latent magic that prevents beauty from being tarnished." I explained.

"Then I'll be your good luck charm when I visit." winked Cadance, nudging her chest towards me and flashing me a peak at her cleavage.

"Oh keep your eyes where they belong." muttered Avarice, having trailed my gaze. "Don't make me sick."

"And what do you make of this Princess Celestia!" cried Primus, expecting Celestia to chime in and throw me out.

Celestia, having just finished her alcohol, put down her glass and grinned. "What do I make of this? Why, this is some of the best entertainment I've had during dinner."

There was a massive look of betrayal in the eyes of the nobles, sans Sassy who seemed occupied with checking her make up. The ruler who they looked up to to preserve their way of life had found their pleas and concerns dismissive which would have obviously been massive blows to their bourgeois egos.

Blueblood gulped and took the silence. "I honestly wish you weren't walking this path auntie."

Celestia's smile broke and she raised her eyebrow. "What path?"

Blueblood knitted her eyebrows. "Well, the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree. I know for a fact that Cadance's push towards romancing Lev was fueled by your consorting of the ambassadors and leaders of the great powers."

"Someone's jealous of the attention his aunt receives." muttered Sassy.

Blueblood ignored her. "The tabloids might not report it because they respect you too much, but I know that every non married ambassador and leader from the great powers...well sans Neighpon since they only consort other Neighponese...has had their first sexual encounter with you. Forgive me for using that term once more, but you need to stop whoring yourself out to such men, and sometimes women."

Sassy groaned. "Oh for heaven's sake, why do you care what our Princess does in her private life? She knows better than you of all people?"

"Well excuse me for being genuinely concerned about our nation's pride and welfare." defended Blueblood.

"By that, you mean your privileges and power right?" countered Sassy.

Opulence finished her drink. "Our privileges and power is what has kept this nation stable for over a thousand years."

"Yeah, and you've been lagging behind the great powers for centuries by now." I said.

"Then what does it matter?" sighed Avarice, looking like she was about to fall asleep. "Either we collapse from within because we adopt your way of life or you eventually decide to annex us."

"Your highness, I plead with you." called Primus to Celestia. "You and Princess Cadance must reconsider your relationships with the authorities of the great powers for the sake of your people. What could you possible see in them?"

Celestia smirked. "Besides the fact that their ambassadors and leaders are bright and cunning young men that treat me as a human better than any suitor or noble with predisposed ideas about me?"

"Or the fact that they all look really hot in a uniform?" added Cadance, causing me to start gushing like an idiot.

The jaws of the nobles dropped.

"So that's your excuse for sleeping with great power officers?" frowned Avarice.

"That, and it's just adorable to see young men get nervous when they're in the presence of someone powerful, smart, beautiful and with hundreds more years of experience in Politics than they can hope to muster." bragged Celestia with a flick of her hair. "They may be in charge of the world's superpowers, but I guess being in the presence of an alicorn is still overwhelming."

"Yeah, but they're so cute when they're overwhelmed." chirped Cadance, making me blush further.

Primus gulped. "Your majesty, those young and adorable flamboyant men that lust over you are still in charge of nations that would rather see us wiped out instantly."

Celestia crossed her arms. "Well, it seems that your prejudices have gotten in the way of what is reality. While it may be true that the great powers can be quite imposing on the international scale, for the most part we have benefited from them immensely."

"Benefited? Oh do enlighten me." stated Avarice.

"For starters, how about the fact that their advanced industries have kept our economies functioning live and well?" smirked Celestia. "Or the fact that whatever serious threats to our planet are located only within their nations and are easily deposed by them whereas a non great power would struggle?"

The nobles stared at their Princess with looks of defeat, not understanding how she could have been defending us.

"Also," continued Celestia. "How about I debunk this idea that they're all coming to get us? Each great power might posses the armed forces, industries and populations needed to conquer this planet, but what happens when there are 4 of them?"

"They form a quad hegemony to keep us in line?" frowned Blueblood.

"Perhaps diplomatically, but where are their massive armies and tanks?" countered Celestia. "Where are the wars they haven't declared on us for the past few hundred years when they all signed the binding Order Of the Corvid? As far as I'm concerned they're too busy with each other to pay real attention to us."

Primus' face turned red. "Your highness, I hope you're not suggesting that they're doing it out of pragmatism for surely they fear you and your personal guard."

I laughed, catching everyone's attention. "Us? Fear the royal guard? You do know that there is a massive manpower and technology gap between us? Not to mention your poor records in handling the daintiest of tasks."

Primus slammed his hands on the table, nearly knocking his food over. "You will not speak of my guard like that!"

I was about to speak up but Cadance grabbed my hand under the table, signalling me to let him finish.

Primus gritted his teeth, which I wish he hadn't because I could see bits of food. "Even if you possess military superiority, I know for a fact that your country and its 3 partners in crime are too cowardly to attack the land where our deity controls the sun and moon."

"Actually, we have multiple contingencies involving an invasion of Equestria wherein Krieg or Germane arch wizards take control over the heavily bodies should we depose Celestia for some reason." I explained.

I shoved my plates to the sides, having eaten every scrap of food offered to me. "Speaking of people turning the sun, aren't 3 of you descendants of 3 of the founders of Equestria?"

Avarice, Blueblood and Primus glared at me.

"What's it to you?" inquired Avarice.

"Blueblood Platinum, Avarice Puddinghead, Primus Hurricane...you're all descendants of the 3 Equestrian nations that nearly froze their people to death because they couldn't get along." I recounted.

"And they learned the true value of friendship and harmony," corrected Blueblood. "Therefore learning their lesson and forming our beloved land. Again, why does this matter?"

"Because isn't it ironic that you all haven't learned from your ancestors by isolating and being highly suspicious of me?" I noted.

Cadance nodded. "Indeed, it seems that the apples have fallen far from the tree."

Opulence rolled her eyes. "Oh please elaborate as to why the lessons of harmony and friendship should apply to an Arstrotzkan. I thought you were all..dialectical materialists or some other thing."

"While I do disagree that ideas shape the course of history and not class struggle, and note that Hearth's Warming Eve is still a feudal fairy tale where the lesson applies to only a privileged class, I do believe that everyone should abide by its central message." I inferred.

"We'll be ready to apply it to you when you are ready to apply it to us." shook Blueblood. "Until then, all you'd want to do is subvert every single thing we believe in."

"And how is my relationship with Lev going to do that cousin?" asked Cadance, emphasizing they weren't blood relatives.

"It's simple," said Blueblood. "Lev gets together with Cadance, Arstrotzka's ideology gets legitimized more and more and then before you know it we're all being lined up to be killed by revolting workers and peasants."

"Come now Blueblood, the revolution doesn't have to end in bloodshed." I remarked. "Some old feudal Arstrotzkan guards stepped down quite peacefully."

"Tell me Lev," snorted Avarice. "Do you really think that nobles and guardsmen who fully believe in their cause are just going to stand down and give up their property without a fight?"

"No, but I understand that it is in your class interest." I answered. "Also, you all realize it's easier for Arstrotzka to just invade this land or spark a revolution from within to spread collectivism without a complicated plan involving me and Cadance in a relationship?"

"Oh as if Equestrian people would give in to such a false ideology." glared Primus. "We are all too loyal to our Princess and edicts of harmony to ever consider going collectivist or forming a military junta like in Neighpon, Halyexandria and the Germane Reich."

"And for a while, Arstrotzkans were loyal to their imperialist overlords and local Tsars, but look how that turned out." I pointed. "The masses are what truly make up a country, and there may be a time where they turn against you."

"But what if the masses reject you?" questioned Blueblood, smiling like he had just laid out his trump card.

"Then I suppose we must leave you to your ways, but I do believe that if reforms in the other great powers are anything to go by, the status quo is bound to change." I replied.

"Honestly guys," added Cadance. "Your duty as nobles is to your people. I get the feeling you all care more about your luxurious lifestyles than genuine concern about harmony and our people's well being."

"Oh I do love this country, but it's this country that has granted me this way of life and that's the way people would rather have it." defended Blueblood.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh shut the fuck up."

The nobles gasped while Celestia and Cadance shot their eyes open.

"What did you say you pathetic rat!" roared Primus.

I took deep a breath. "You guys are not people, you are caricatures. Fictional characters. A statistic. A stereotype. I've been exposed to the stereotype of petty nobles in propaganda back home, but never did I think that it was this bad. You parasites have just invited yourself over to this dinner just to scare me away from Cadance, but all it has done is strengthen my resolve to be with her."

Cadance grinned at that remark and I continued on. "You know, I really did think at times that you were all legitimately concerned for your country and believed that the masses getting exposed to new ideas would threaten stability. But no, it seems you guys are just reincarnations of your ancestors that nearly froze their people over. All you care about are your privileges that you act like you deserve or justify through some natural order without realizing you just won the fetus lottery."

The nobles were burning mad, with even Avarice being forced to display some emotion. Sassy, Celestia and Cadance on the other hand continued to listen on intently.

I filled my glass with more vodka and took a sip, enjoying my rant. "You know why we never put in Cadance and Celestia in anti bourgeois and anti feudal propaganda? Because they're too nice. We don't agree with their class position and role, but at least they have the decency to legitimately care for their people and the way of life they legitimately support."

I glanced at Celestia. "Princess Celestia, if the people of Equestria wanted to move onto to a new system of government that didn't involve you, would you comply?"

"Oh, but of course." answered Celestia, a proud look on her face.

"Ditto." chirped Cadance. "My duty is to my people."

I then turned back at the Nobles. "See? If every royal was like Celestia and Cadance, our Ministry Of Truth would have a hard ass time trying to demonize them. You people on the other hand are the perfect, and in the case of Blueblood and Primus, the literal caricatures to mock because you're all essentially one."

Primus raised an eyebrow. "Your wretched propaganda machines dare to speak ill of me and his highness Blueblood? Why not start with yourselves?"

"Hey, at least our people can depend on our People's Republic to follow our will." I smirked. "As for you? What would you do if the people demanded you dissolve your government?"

Opulence stood her ground. "Do you really expect those in charge to listen to the lower classes who area easily swayed?"

"My thoughts exactly." I falsely agreed. "And do you know what happens when peaceful revolution is made impossible by the likes of you? You make violent revolution inevitable."

"Are you threatening us?" scowled Avarice.

"No, but I will tell you this." I replied. "When the Arstrotzkans were vying for independence from their foreign imperialist overlords, they never made any attempts to consider our demands. Sure some royal figure would make sympathetic remarks, but was good is that when they are ineffective? Their failure to recognize the ever changing Arstrotzkan political and industrial scene eventually came at a price when the people had enough and used their advanced weaponry to revolt against the occupying powers."

"And for that you murdered the fair Princess Snowfall of Scandineighvia and her sister." wailed Opulence. "They were perhaps the kindest souls to ever embrace our planet and were even sympathetic to the Arstrotzkans."

"Well, they still supported the occupation and were ineffective at opposing our second class treatment." I sighed. "I'm afraid the revolutionary Vladivostok had no choice but to try out his new revolver on them to send a message to our people that the only way out was revolution."

I looked at both Celestia and Cadance. "Of course, I say this not to undermine you two."

Cadance looked a little hurt, but she seemed to understand. "Well, I never really knew Snowfall, so..."

Celestia closed her eyes. "I won't forgive Vladivostok for murdering my relatives, but Snowfall was naive. I...really thought she would go the extra mile for your people before it was too late."

"But sadly she didn't and the Arstrotzkan workers were forced to revolt." I replied. "We know the rest, about how the imperialists mustered a 7 nation army to bring down the revolutionaries, but couldn't take down a technologically superior foe in their motherland. A force which happened to include Equestria no less."

Celestia opened her eyes and grinned. "In my defense, I knew it would have been hopeless to march an army across the arctic to fight people demanding self determination, but Primus Hurricane's ancestor kept pushing me."

Primus was getting angrier. I could tell this was personal for him.

He furiously stroked his beard and growled. "We would have won had the Germane Reich not betrayed us in favor of the revolution just so they could have some stupid guns. One border into Arstrotzka was gone because of their treachery and now we have this!"

He said that last sentence pointing his finger to me, like I was some sort of giant mess that needed to be cleaned up.

"Regardless," I muttered. "The Arstrotzkans also fought against their feudal tsars, half of which surrendered peacefully to the revolution. You know what became of them? Heroes. They played their part and surrendered their rule to the people and in turn we have statues, memorials and honors named after them."

"Heroes?" spat Opulence. "More like cowards."

"It isn't cowardly to listen you your people Opulence." shot back Cadance. "It takes courage to abandon your privileges for the common good."

I continued on. "And to those Tsars that didn't listen, well they ended up shot or stabbed and no one can give a rat's ass about them now."

"Are you threatening us with violence?" bluntly stated Blueblood.

"Oh, I can't and won't." I answered. "But your people might if you prioritize being a jackass rather than someone who ought to be love."

"And that's what you fail to realize Lev, the commoners DO love us and our way of life." countered Blueblood. "Take Sassy for example, would you hate her for following her destiny which our country encourages?"

Sassy's eyes widened. "What are you getting at?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What might that destiny be?"

Blueblood pointed to his date. "Tell him Sassy."

Sassy's mouth hung agape, pissed that Blueblood was using her to further his arguments. She turned towards me and bit her lip, not sure of what to make of this situation.

Sassy sighed. "My destiny is in working the fashion industry, preferably making and marketing designer clothes to nobles."

"I suppose you intend to get rich?" I guessed.

"Co...correct." whimpered Sassy.

"Off of your own labor?" I checked.

"My clothes, my designs, my money." answered Sassy.

"Then I don't hate you." I assured.

Blueblood raised an eyebrow. "What! You were just going on a tirade about privilege and revolution!"

I rolled me eyes. "Yes, but the revolution is between workers and the owners who exploit them for profit. If you get rich off your own labor, you aren't being exploitative and I don't hate you."

Sassy looked uncertain. "But I do believe there need to be owners of companies and I'd hope to one day have my own."

I shook my head. "Well, then I guess...I kinda hate you? Sorry, but if you start owning companies those workers are going to be entitled to your profits."

Sassy frowned. "How? I'd imagine they'd be working for me making designs I put forward."

"Well, they won't be your designs once you make others actually do the work while you sit on the side." I responded.

"Oh, what's next? They're entitled to my inheritance?" remarked Sassy.

"Inheritance?" I repeated. "Okay, now I really..."

"No need to finish that." interrupted Sassy who stood right up.

"Wh-what are you doing?" questioned Blueblood.

Sassy groaned. "First, you drag me here because you don't approve of Cadance's relationship and next you use me to fight your stupid arguments. I'm leaving."

Blueblood was nearly at a loss of words. "Oh-oh, come on! We-we still have much to.."

Sassy began making her way out of the hall and after a moment of dumbfounded hesitation, Blueblood began to follow her.

Right before he exited, Blueblood shot me a final look. "Great! It's bad enough that you had to steal away my cousin and perhaps my country's entire future, but now you have to take away my date."

Cadance answered for me. "She's not an object and you brought that upon yourself."

Whatever was left of Blueblood's cool exterior was gone. "I swear, when we're all being lined up against the wall tomorrow to be killed because we're enemies of the working class, you'll all be sorry."

"Yeah." I agreed. "Sorry that you had to prioritize your luxury over your people."

Blueblood stormed off, calling after Sassy. Man, did that feel good.

Avarice herself got up. She checked her purse and glanced at Cadance. "I'd love to stay for dessert, but I'm gonna make way out and make the most of what could now possibly be a very short life. Princess Cadance, I fully support you in any decision you make, but I'm not going to like any of this. I truly wish you'd see it the other way around."

I shot my arm around Cadance and pulled her close. "Well Avarice, I'm sure we could say the same about you."

Avarice puffed. "Oh get your hands off of her before you make me sick!"

"I will when you get your hands off of those joints." I pointed.

Avarice looked down at her hand and saw herself clutching a joint. She shook her head and slung her purse around her arm before lighting up the cigarette. Once again, her eyes turned reddish and she made her way out, probably to drown her sorrows on weed.

At that point it was just me, Cadance, Celestia, Primus and Opulence. The latter two however, didn't look like they had any plans for making their way out.

Primus clenched his knuckles. "So this is it? Our Princesses have sold their lives bodies to wretched men."

"Women aren't objects Primus," I interjected. "They have agencies of their own."

"Oh shut up!" yelled Primus. "You can sound as politically correct as you want, but all you're doing is setting us on a path of cultural and national suicide. Thanks to you, we have yet another royal line cut off now that Cadance is incapable of producing another alicorn or Equestrian for that matter!"

Cadance knitted her eyebrows at that remark. It seemed all Primus, and most of the other nobles for that matter, only saw her as a tool for reproduction to continue the crown and keep the system in charge. It was pretty despicable, to put it lightly.

I bit my lip. "Again, not...an...object."

"Spare me!" roared Primus. "I bet all you see her as is an affront to your nation's ideology. An affront that you can get rid of by fornicating and producing bastard half-breed children like Celestia produced over the centuries such as that dragonborn Spike she just birthed."

"PRIMUS!" yelled Celestia in the royal Canterlot voice.

The loud noise she generated nearly shook the room and I could have sworn I saw a plate and glass slightly crack. I never heard it up close, but from what Cadance told me, it could be pretty loud, and it was.

Celestia simply closed her eyes and sighed. Her tone was pretty bitter, which would be obvious given that Primus just insulted a child in front of his mother. If Arstrotzkan documentaries on what mother bears do to protect their children were any indication, Primus was screwed.

"Primus," hissed Celestia. "You and your wife are dismissed for the evening. We may be having a little chat afterwords."

All color drained from Primus's face. Being dismissed by a Princess would have been an obvious blow to his massive ego. I wondered if he had realized what he had done, or rationalize it to blame it on me. Given his class interests, I guessed the latter.

I was proven correct as a red color returned to his now furious expression. He jolted up and walked towards me, prompting me to stand up in self defense. Cadance tried to get up too, but was blocked by Primus's massive muscular body.

Primus was fuming mad. "Listen here. I don't care what Cadance sees in your pathetic little face. You are to realize that she is way out of your league and I highly suggest that you know your place before I am forced to cast you out."

"Primus stand down now!" ordered Celestia.

"Yeah," I complied. "If you hurt me right now the Arstrotzkan secret police who are probably watching us right now might make very short work of you."

Primus stomped his foot. "SEE WHAT I MEAN! These idiots have eyes and ears everywhere! This is just their next step in destroying our culture and nation!"

Primus kept tapping my chest in a furious manner for every word he spoke. "You! Are! Not! Worthy! Of! Us!"

He prodded my chest one final time and all I simply muttered was...

"Ow.."

Cadance got off her chair and yelled in the royal Canterlot voice. "UNHAND MY LEVY YOU CHAUVINISTIC BEAST!"

Primus's eyes shot open. "But..but..Cadance I hardly touched him. Are Arstrtozkan men that weak and.."

"Eat this macho man!" yelled Cadance she kicked the Captain Of The Royal Guard right in the crotch.

Primus whelped and fell onto his knees, sadly not screaming like a girl like I had hoped. On the bright side though, I at least knew Cadance would be a pretty formidable opponent for my enemies to deal with should they get physical with me. Military and technological power aside, Alicorns truly were the most powerful on the planet.

Opulence got up and tended to her husband.

"Are you okay dear?" screeched Opulence.

Primus gritted his teeth. "They...hurt...steel...rod..."

I raised an eyebrow as to what he meant by 'steel rod', only for my mouth to hang agape upon realization.

"You named your dick?" I blurted. I kicked Primus in the same location once again, causing him to recoil back.

"That's for perpetuating a false and cringey form of masculinity. I say this on behalf of all men." I remarked as Primus struggled to get up.

Celestia raised her voice. "Since Primus had provoked you Lev, I'm going to let you off with a warning, but please don't that."

Primus finally stood as his wife supported him. "But...I barely...touched him..."

Without saying a word, Opulence and Primus took their cue to leave, Primus's wails still audible.

After a pause, Cadance and I sat down back in our seats, Celestia sitting buy our side almost as if nothing happened. There was a silence among us, the nobles leaving being an unexpected turn of events. I honestly thought they were going to keep hounding me for the night, but I figured it wouldn't be the last I saw of them.

And then the 3 of us just laughed at the same time. I didn't know why we did that, but it felt really good.

I got a hold of myself. "Oh man, we weren't too hard on them right kotenok?"

"Hey, no one hurts my little Levy." giggled Cadance.

"To be quite honest," interjected Celestia. "I expected this to end in some sort of food fight."

I put a finger on my chin and pondered. "Is anything going to happen to Primus considering he insulted your son and well, 'hurt' me?"

Celestia sighed. "Unfortunately, all I'm afraid I can do is give him a stern talking to. The least I could do is not make him an obstacle to your and Cadance's love life."

"But you're the Princess!" I noted. "Shouldn't you have the power to change things considering that that they all fear and respect you?"

"True," nodded Celestia. "But at the same time the nobles you sat with today are descendants of the founders of Equestria. Of course, they're descended from the ones that were pushing for conflict, but in the eyes of the common Equestrian, they are still the blood of our idols. Therefore, I'm afraid nepotism still applies."

A bad taste formed in my mouth. "Hopefully it only remains like that for now. I'm not saying you all need to adopt our system right now, but.."

Celestia had apparently read my thoughts again. "I understand. I mean, I'd like a complete meritocracy too where people earn positions of greatness by following their own talents and destinies like Cadance."

Cadance brightened up upon hearing that remark.

Celestia took a deep breath. "Unfortunately, as you as a collectivist already know Lev, we don't exactly all start out on the same playing field. True, my background as Princess might give me leverage to ironically even things out, but even the highest up noble can be an obstacle. They might fear me, but they'll do anything to stand up for their privileges as demonstrated tonight."

"Not to mention sacking people descended from the founders will cause a lot of commotion and confusion." added Cadance.

"I see, so it's a greater good kind of deal right?" I realized.

"Correct," answered Celestia. "It's annoying, but it isn't more than a nuisance."

"I just hope that if change does come to Equestria, it wont be violent," I said. "I'd hate to lose you two."

"D'aww," purred Cadance. "A Collectivist caring about royalty. Now isn't that sweet?"

I blushed. "That and I'm sure Celestia's boy toys wouldn't mind her staying around."

Celestia smirked and shrugged. "What can I say? Generation after generation of Great Power officers love me."

"And so does Spike." assured Cadance.

Celestia's grin remained, but there was a small look of regret in her eyes. "I only wish I could be a better mother to him. Having him raised by specialists rather than me just doesn't feel right."

"He's a months old dragonborn auntie," pointed Cadance. "He'll need a special upbringing since he's away from the rest of his kin. Besides, you see him every weekend and will have fully custody once he becomes a toddler."

I placed a finger on my chin and eyed Celestia. "A dragonborn? I know you've mothered a few famous people from the great powers over the centuries, but the Dragon lands? Who was Spike's dad?"

Celestia formed a dreamy look in her eyes before snapping back to reality. "He was an archaeologist studying the ancient dragon languages. You see, dragon powers are summoned through specific shouts, and some of these shouts can be used to summon pretty powerful spells. However, the words to some shouts are written in darkest depths of caves."

I took an educated guess. "So I'm guessing your story involves searching for a lost dragon shout and bumping into him on an archeology adventure."

"He was my guide!" confirmed Celestia. "He was such a lovely young man. Physically average, but a powerful magic user and quite handsome to say the least. While we were exploring the old cave, we ran into a grotto glistening with pure water. So as we both needed a bath at that moment, we stripped our clothes and...ah..."

Celestia's dreamy exterior returned.

"Does he know about Spike?" I inquired.

Celestia bit her lip. "I'm afraid I haven't had contact with him after our encounter. I don't think he'd be able to handle that kind of pressure anyway."

"Well," smirked Cadance. "You can always rely on your 3 ambassador boy toys as daddy figures."

The three of us broke into laughter yet again. Just then, the doorway to the kitchen opened and the chef from before peaked out.

"Um," he said. "I heard a disturbance and some of the guests leaving. Is there a problem?"

"No, not at all." answered Celestia with a smile.

"In that case," muttered the Chef. "We were about to prepare desert for you all, but only have two plates ready. I guess I just need to make one more for tonight right?"

"Oh, I won't be needing any for right now." mused Celestia. "Just bring the two over for the lovely couple for tonight."

The Chef complied and immediately levitated two plates towards me and Cadance. I didn't see what we were having at that moment, but the smell made my mouth water with hunger.

The Chef lifted the silver platter and announced the desert. "For Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and her date, we have two freshly prepared slices of Red Velvet Cheesecake topped with a chocolate drizzle. Enjoy!"

He made his way back to the kitchen and I stared lustfully at my desert.

"Sweet, my favorite," I chuckled. "You know Red Velvet describes Arstrotzka perfectly, white and snowy on the outside, but red and proletarian on the in."

"Aren't you going to have some auntie?" inquired Cadance.

"I'll be having some dessert alright, I'm Red Velvet cake lover myself." assured Celestia.

Celestia's voice turned sultry. "Hm, yes. Some nice Red Velvet cake with some whip cream from the side which I'm sure an ambassador would enjoy licking off of me."

Cadance and I giggled, knowing that Celestia wasn't going to be sleeping alone tonight.

"Remember when we did that for a night in that hotel Cadance?" I recalled.

"Oh yeah," remembered Cadance. "You licked chocolate and whip cream off my chest and belly right before you washed it off by sucking my tits dry."

Celestia put a finger on her lip. "Hmm yes...whip cream does sound good. It'll be even better when I'm enjoying a cake slice myself while my companion licks it off."

Cadance smiled warmly, a relieved look in her eyes. "Thanks for sticking around auntie. I didn't think I'd be able to get past this night."

"Anything for you my dear," replied Celestia. She placed both her hands on her curvy hips and swayed them to the side. "Well, I'm going to head back to my room for the night and call over some company. Good luck you two, I'm very proud for you both."

"That means a lot to me Celestia." I chuckled.

With a nearly blinding light, Celestia magically teleported away to make a literally flash exit.

My eyes got a hold of themselves and I found Cadance lovingly looking at me with her beautiful eyes. At that point I realized it was just me and her in the dining room with no other company. It certainly felt a little more awkward than I thought, with the 'company' we had at least providing me with some entertainment and a medium to focus my thoughts on.

I smiled sheepishly and blushed. "So, how was I?"

Cadance giggled. "You were great. I'm sorry that you had to go through that."

"Sorry?" I repeated. "I'm sure I was being a little insensitive back there. I mean, I love my country and it's way of life, but I can't be hateful to Equestria right?"

"Don't worry about it," assured Cadance. "Those weren't the people you had to impress. Tomorrow, I'm going to show you around Canterlot and give you a real taste of what Equestria is like. I'm sure you'll find it easier to fit in."

"I'm sure of it," I nodded. "With you at the lead, I'm sure you can turn the opinion of the entire city, or at least the non noble population, in favor of us."

"And if I don't, we'll still have each other." beamed Cadance.

"Of course, " I agreed. "Oh, and Cadance? I've said this a lot, but I don't know if I've said it directly to your face."

"What's that?" asked Cadance.

"I love you." I smiled.

Cadance squealed with delight and pulled close for a deep kiss. I hugged her back, feeling every exposed inch of skin on her body without a care about who was watching. At this point, politics and opinion didn't matter. All that mattered was that I had Cadance in my arms and that she loved me back.

Cadance broke of the kiss, her breathing quick and excited. "I love you too Levy."

For the next few minutes, we said nothing, just digging into our cakes and enjoying each other's company.

Canterlot

My eyes slowly began to open and I finally woke up. I was brought back to reality as I took note of my surroundings, namely the naked woman in my arms whose back and ass were firmly against my body and whose perky breasts where scooped up by my arm.

I felt like I wanted to remain in this position forever, with the women I loved eternally by my side, but I knew that we had to get up to get through our day. Cadance herself was beginning to wake up as well, and I decided to help her out by rubbing my hands across her buxom tits and curvy legs for one final time.

I heard Cadance giggle and she finally got up. She sat on her bed and gave out an adorable little yawn. Her eyes still closed, Cadance raised her hands stretched her body up which gave me another good view on the full size of her bust.

Cadance finally opened her beautiful eyes and smiled at me. "Good morning Levy."

My head still on the pillow, I smiled and greeted my girlfriend. "Good morning kitten, sleep well?"

"With you around, of course." beamed Cadance, her body glowing luminously under the morning light shining through the curtains.

"I slept well knowing that the Princess Of Love was there to protect me from the terrors of the night," I joked, eliciting a laugh from Cadance. "And I'm relieved that the events of last night weren't a dream."

"Believe me Levy, my love for you is as real as the world we live in," assured Cadance. "No force on this planet whether it be politics or supernatural threats is going to change that."

"And I couldn't be happier," I mused, captivated by Cadance's form. "So are we going to wake up like this a lot from now on?"

"Hopefully," smirked Cadance. "Not every night obviously, but let's just say I hope you like sleeping in boxers."

"Haven't really tried it, but anything for you kitten." I said.

"Thanks. Besides, you'll be waking up to a pretty nice view every morning." winked Cadance.

"So will our resident little pervert." I added, glancing at the Arstrotzkan teddy bear that was still placed on the nightstand by Cadance's bed. It was facing our direction, and had full view of Cadance's naked body.

Cadance laughed it off. "Oh, I don't mind giving my little teddy a peak or two." She jokingly grabbed the teddy bear and hugged it close, smothering the plushy with her well endowed breasts. I would've gotten hard at that hot scene had it not been for the exhaustion I felt from the night before.

"So know what we're going to be doing today?" I asked.

Cadance grinned. "Oh yeah I do, but first I think we'll need to clean ourselves up."

"Yeah, we're going to have to get used to morning showers if we fuck and fall asleep at night." I noted.

"Perhaps," nodded Cadance. "Which reminds me, did I ever...er...blow you in hotel when we showered together during that week?"

I finally got my body up and thought. "Um, I don't think so."

Cadance formed a seductive smirk. "Well what are we waiting for?"

Holding hands tightly, Cadance and I scurried down the hallway once more with happy looks on our dumb love struck faces. This time however, we weren't preparing for some sort of grand formal event, we were just like any other two young adults in love getting hyped and prepared for their day.

For once we were clad in completely casual outfits, fitting for our weekend off to enjoy each other's company. I just wore plain red polo shirt and tight navy blue jeans while Cadance wore a pink t-shirt (because of course it would be pink) that hugged her form nicely alongside a yellow short skirt that gave me a nice peak of her legs. Although it had been snowing yesterday, the Pegsai that controlled the weather in Equestria were creating a temporary spring styled day to grow some magical crops or something. It seemed odd to me since we couldn't control the weather back home, but at least it let me and Cadance go about our day in light clothing.

Our hair however, was still noticeably wet and any onlooker who could put two and two together could immediately figure out what we were up to in the past half hour.

A few more servants and staff members of the castle shot us looks and good mornings, with Cadance doing all the replying. Thankfully most of the elite were probably out enjoying themselves, so not one of the reactions against us were hostile.

As we made our way down the hall, we saw another man walking towards us, heading the way we were coming from. What made him really stand out at first was the uniform he was wearing, a beige and tanned officer uniform with white gloves and was carrying a sandy brown military cap in his gloved hands. Like us, his smile was big and goofy and his curly brown hair was drenched wet.

Had it not been for his military uniform, I would have guessed he was an Arstrotzkan, but his pointier facial features gave him away as Haylexandrian. His skin color was also darker than mine and Cadance's, but brighter than the average Haylexandrian's, indicating that he probably came from a cooler region like Neighrut or Mareusalem.

The Haylexandrian quickly stopped in his tracks and called out to us. "Hey! You must be Lev Ulyanov right?"

Cadance and I stopped walking as well and faced him.

I smiled to and extended my free hand. "That is me alright. Pleased to meet you sir."

"Salam and allow me to introduce myself. My name is Emil and I am the current ambassador to Equestria from the United Haylexandrian Republic." he greeted, shaking my hand.

Emil, like Gelovani, seemed to have only been a few years older than me. It figured, considering that working as an ambassador to Equestria was essentially training and child's play given how few people from the great powers were present in this country.

Emil glanced at Cadance and extended his hand towards her as well, which she gladly shook. "Salam and nice to see you to Princess Cadance of Equestria. I'm sure yesterday was quite the night for you?"

"Nice to see you again Emil, and yeah, last night was pretty....magical I guess." beamed Cadance.

Emil put his cap on and crossed his arms. He looked at me and Cadance while quickly nodding his head. It was like he was inspecting us for security reasons, albeit with a goofy grin on his face.

"Well," he chuckled. "Has science gone too far? Because I never thought anything would make a champion of the proletariat date royalty."

Cadance and I laughed, knowing that it was just a harmless joke.

Still I felt a need to defend ourselves. "It's not a huge issue Emil. We're willing to look past Cadance's alicornhood and royalty for the sake of greater things."

"Yeah, like preventing Cadance from creating an alicorn bloodline," winked Emil. "Seriously though I'm really happy for the two of you."

"Thanks." smiled Cadance. "That means a lot."

"No problem, it's just that since I came over here from Neighrut, I've been seeing stranger and stranger things." laughed Emil, confirming my earlier suspicion about his origins.

Emil then raised his right hand and did that weird cross motion. "I know you two don't believe in the savior, but may he bless your relationship with good fortune and prosperity. Ma'a Salam." he waved.

Emil took off while Cadance and I waved good bye to him. At least there was someone else who supported us in our relationship. I could only wonder how the other governments of the great powers would react to us. If Emil's reaction was anything to go by, Halyexandria seemed not to mind it, so that just left the Germane Reich and Neighponese Federation.

A voice called out to us. "Good morning you two!"

Cadance and I turned to the source of the voice and found ourselves facing the doorway to Celestia's room, with Celestia greeting us with nothing but a wet towel on her body. The towel was just long enough to cover her belly, waist and most of her breasts, but small enough to give me a great peak of her cleavage, buxom mounds, curvy thighs and long endless legs. The knot that tied the towel seemed to be so loose that Celestia was using a hand to hold it up less it fall loose and expose her voluptuous body.

Celestia's smile was sly and imposing, knowing well how I felt about her get up while her hair ethereal sparkling hair was wet and flowing downwards. Since Emil's hair was also drenched, I easily figured that Celestia and him had the same idea as Cadance and I after we woke up.

Celestia leaned on her doorway and placed a finger on her chin with her free hand. "Did you and Cadance sleep well Lev?"

I gulped and nearly struggled to speak. "Da...er...yes we did. It was comfortable."

"I'm sure it was with Cadance next to you," smirked Celestia, prompting a blush from me and Cadance. "So Cadance, what are your plans with Lev for the weekend?"

Cadance smirked confidently. "Well, Lev hasn't actually seen Canterlot, so that's something I just have to show him right now."

"Why of course," replied Celestia. "It would be a crime not to show Lev around, but do you know exactly where you'll be taking him?"

"There's a lot to see in Canterlot," noted Cadance who then pointed to her head. "But I have it all planned out here."

"That's just great," nodded Celestia, who glanced at me. "Are you excited Lev?"

I gulped, Celestia's tall and nearly exposed body and powerful magical aura still overpowering me. "Of..of course..I..I am. I'd love..love..love to see this city."

Celestia giggled and nearly let go of the hand that held that small towel together. "Don't worry Lev, I know that you can't help but look. I'd love to show you a peak if it was okay with Cadance, but I'm afraid I have to get back to managing a country. And let's just say holiday's are trickier to manage."

Cadance maintained an innocent expression, purposefully ignoring her aunt's sultry nature for humor. "Oh auntie, you work really hard. You should make sure that you have some fun this weekend. Good luck anyway."

Celestia laughed, causing the mounds of her breasts to noticeably jiggle. "Come on Cady dear, you know that I've been doing this for a thousand years. I know all the ins and outs of everything, so I guess everyday of work is entertainment for me."

"That's cool," acknowledged Cadance. "Well, we'll see soon."

"Indeed you will," responded Celestia. She turned around and her tone turned seductive. "Have fun you two."

Celestia whipped her hand and the door magically closed.

Cadance turned around and laughed at the sight of me having my mouth hung agape, paralyzed by Celestia's captivating nature. She gleefully used her index finger to lift my chin up and wake me back to reality. She glanced down, eyeing an erection in my jeans that made her glad that she convinced me to wear such a skinny garment.

"Don't worry, you'll probably get a glance at her sometime soon." assured Cadance.

I took a deep breath. "Perhaps, but I don't care as long as I have you."

Cadance grabbed my hand, her eyes still glued to my jeans to make sure that my boner died down. "Come on Levy, let's go get breakfast."

"Right behind you kitten!" I cheered.

Cadance and I had taken an alternate route out of the castle, just so we could leave unnoticed and without a heckle. It was kind of weird to be doing all this, as if I was some sort of celebrity that had to worry about the media being all over me. Then again, it would probably be the type of fame that could get you lynched when you least expected it.

The two of us headed out the confines of the castle and into the city. The scene was a far different view from what I had witnessed yesterday, a testament to the power of magically controlled weather. The sky was a clear sunny blue and the temperature was warm and pleasant. The only sign that there had been a snowfall yesterday was the fact that there were wet puddles of water all around the city, which filled the air with an aroma of morning dew.

Holding hands, the two of us admired the beautiful scene before us, happy that we wouldn't be hindered by snow on the day that I had arrived at Canterlot.

"I swear," I shook. "We in Arstrotzka would kill just to get weather services like this if meant not having depressing winters for most of the year."

"Yeah, but that would disrupt your non magical ecosystem and that wouldn't be good for my little Levy and his friends right?" mused Cadance, her tone treating me like a cute little puppy.

I laughed it off and the two of us continued into Canterlot, finally arriving at the downtown. Luckily, the local citizens were so busy with whatever festivities and activities they were doing that me and Cadance managed to walk for a while unnoticed.

I think it certainly helped that Cadance's outfit allowed her to blend in as an ordinary young adult. Without any royal dresses or crowns, she was just another Equestrian girl rocking a tight t-shirt and a revealing short mini skirt. Then again, I began to doubt that her 'disguise' would hold up for much longer, since the other women around her age were sporting the same old ridiculously frilly dresses and accessories. I figured someone would look at her for dressing "vulgarly" and then notice her familiar hairstyle.

Then there was the fact that I did not look like an Equestrian at all with my physical features. Finally, there was also the notion that Cadance emitted a powerful magical aura around her while I was essentially a psychic blank whose presence would make Equestrians notice something was up.

Until then, the two of us were slightly in the clear.

"So where are we heading to?" I asked.

"One of my favorite places to get breakfast at." replied Cadance.

We passed by a few people in the street, finally attracting a few stares, and stopped in front of a small modest looking shop. A sign read out the name of the store, "Doughnut Joe's."

I smirked. "Oh, what's a Princess gonna do in quaint little doughnut shop?"

"Come on Lev, surely you know I love the little things in life." chuckled Cadance.

As we were about to enter, we noticed more and more Equestrians looking at us. They began to mummer among themselves in confusion, but I didn't think they knew who we were just yet. I didn't think any of them could fathom their Princess wearing a completely casual outfit and taking an Arstrotzkan boyfriend out to a small doughnut shop.

Cadance pulled me by the hand inside the doughnut shop before anyone could follow us. Thankfully, the other Equestrians preffered to stay put as I turned back to find them content in their positions.

I took a look back and observed the doughnut shop. It wasn't too different from something you could see in a generic Arstrotzkan city like Moscolt. There was a nice checkered pattern for the floorboard, a set of windows to provide a good view and a fresh set of doughnuts and bagels on trays being displayed, waiting to be eaten.

One thing that caught my attention was the fact that the place was pretty much empty with the exception of me and Cadance. I figured that a doughnut store wouldn't attract much attention from the nobles in Canterlot, but I at least expected a cashier.

"No one here." muttered Cadance. "Maybe we should turn around?"

Suddenly, a weary male sounding voice called out. "Hold up! I'm coming!"

Through an employee only door, a tall man clad in an apron and chef hat who I assumed to be Joe rushed to the counter. Upon taking a closer look at him, I was amazed to find how much he looked like someone from the Germane Reich rather than Equestria, being pale with brown hair and greenish eyes. It was quite a reserved look to say the least compared to his more colorful peers. Hell, even his name was something you could find in Arstrotzka, Haylexandria or Germaney quite easily.

Joe cleared his throat. "How may I help you today Ms....."

At that point, Joe's voice began to die down and he took a gulp. Instinctively, he immediately bowed down before his Princess and it didn't take a genius to note that he was mentally cursing himself for being a second late to greet her.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" cried Joe, still bowed down. "I am so happy to see you here again! I swear didn't mean to be late! Please forgive me!"

Cadance laughed. "It's okay Joe. You weren't doing anything wrong. You can rise."

Joe got up and fixed his greasy hair and attire. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, only to have his mouth drop upon seeing me.

"Um," croaked Joe. "Princess Cadance, who may I ask is accompanying you."

Cadance hugged me close. "Joe, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Lev Ulyanov. Lev, I'd like you to meet Joe, the best doughnut store owner in all of Equestria."

"Privet." I greeted.

Joe's face turned red. "Ulyanov? So you're an Arstrotzkan."

"Da."I confirmed in my language.

Joe's voice began to falter. "Isn't that the really large country with a really large army who control really large and deadly war machines?"

"Da." I said again.

"Don't you guys hate business owners like me?" he whimpered.

"Is this store a one man operation?" I asked.

"Every little facet of this store is handled by me and my magic." he nodded.

"Then...I take no issue since you are exploiting no one's labor but your own." I nonchalantly stated.

"But you're still a Collectivist right?" checked Joe.

"Mhm." I hummed.

"And...you're dating Princess Cadance?" said Joe with a hint of disbelief.

I kissed Cadance on the cheek and the two of us smiled warmly. "I couldn't believe it either, but here we are! It's about time after knowing each other since childhood."

Joe took a moment, and much to my surprise he smiled. What he said next really warmed my heart.

"Now that's something you don't see everyday, but any boyfriend of her majesty Cadance is a friend of mine!" exclaimed Joe. "So what can I get for my favorite customer and her significant other today?"

We walked on over to the counter and took a look at the menu items. The store had a bunch of breakfast bagels, albeit nothing with what I would usually get considering I ate a lot of pork and chicken.

Cadance took a moment to decide and went first. "I think I'll just have a cream cheese sesame bagel with olives, lettuce and tomato. I'll get a cappuccino to go for my drink."

"Excellent," nodded Joe, who took the order. "And what for you kind sir?"

I placed a finger on my chin. "I don't know. Anything here you'd recommend?"

Joe's face turned red for a moment. "Say, don't you guys eat flesh in Arstrotzka?"

I shrugged and smiled, which wasn't the best thing to do I guess since I revealed my canines. "I mean yeah, but it's not like we eat it with every meal. There are plenty of vegans and vegetarians back in the People's Republic."

Joe took a sigh of relief. "Well, that's good since we don't serve any of that stuff here. Personally, I'd recommend the breakfast bagel which is plain bagel with fried egg with cheese and tomato."

"Yeah, that sounds like what I get back home." I replied.

"That reminds me," muttered Joe. "How would a doughnut store operate where you're from."

"If it's a one man stand, than pretty much like this. Otherwise it's still similar, but you know, the motive is feeding comrades rather than profit and decisions are made collectively." I explained.

"As I thought," nodded Joe. "Anyway, anything to drink for ya?"

"Just a mocha to go with whip cream and extra chocolate if that's possible." I said.

"I see you like it sweet," winked Joe. "Anyway, that will be 5 bits total."

I was about to go reach for my wallet, but I then felt Cadance place her hand on mine.

"No worries Lev, I got it." winked Cadance. She snapped her fingers and a small pouch materialized from the air. She got out the a 5 bit coin from the sac and handed it over to Joe.

I raised my eyebrow. "Has this country seriously not considered paper money yet?"

"We would if we could charm paper with the same security spells the bits can take." scoffed Cadance.

She snapped her fingers once more and the pouch vanished in a flash. "Otherwise bank robberies would be pretty easy."

Cadance took a seat at the table while I remained behind the counter. Before he got to work, Joe looked at me curiously as I tried muster the words I wanted to say to him.

"Aren't you going to join your girlfriend?" pondered Joe.

"In a second, but..." I muttered. "I just wanted to say thanks."

"Thanks?" frowned Joe.

"Yeah, so far you've been one of the few Equestrians I know of that's approved of me and Cadance being together. I know it's our happiness that counts in this, but it really does feel nice not to be met with scorn."

Joe smiled and shrugged. "Hey, how can I deny two love birds from being together? I take it that your last night went rough."

I sighed. "Yeah, we met with the Captain of the Royal Guard, Prince Blueblood and some other nobles last night. They were really insistent that I back off from Cadance."

"And I can tell that failed since you two are here." smirked Joe.

"That's true," I chuckled. "To be honest, even without my upbringing, I've never really liked nobles or the bourgeois, even if no such classes exist within my homeland."

"They're definitely a stingy bunch," nodded Joe. "I wouldn't say I really dislike them of course, but I can see where you're coming from. Just between you and me though, I'm kinda glad they don't walk in here for snacks."

"Really now?" I laughed. "So that reminds me? Ever served anyone from the great powers in your store?"

"I'm lucky to get two or year great power citizens here a year," answered Joe. "The embassy workers like to stay put."

"I could imagine." I nodded as I made my way to Cadance. "Again, thanks!"

"No problem!" called back Joe as he prepared our breakfast.

I sat down at the table next to Cadance. She was beaming brightly with a happy smile, she too admiring the fact that someone was cool with us and that I was making progress with another Equestrian.

I took a moment to compose myself and raised my voice. "So do you know what we...."

I was cut off by the sound of what appeared to be a dozen voices suddenly mumbling and tapping feet marching towards our position. I cursed and knew that the inevitable had happened even before I turned my head around.

Cadance sighed. "Oh boy, here we go."

Outside the shop were a group of Equestrians looking at as through the window, completely mesmerized and baffled at the sight of their Princess with an Arstrotzkan in the middle of a lowly doughnut store. Among the crowd were haughty looking adolescents who were delighted at the latest sight of gossip while the older ones were either saddened or angered by our relationship. A good number however, did not harbor any negative feelings, too busy yelling or chanting praises for their princess.

Joe sat down our food and shook his head at the crowd. "If they're going to stare, they might as well come in and get something to eat while they're at it."

Cadance's face sank. "Ugh, here they come."

I raised by eyebrow to decipher what exactly she meant by that, but then my face sank as I saw the answer. A group of Equestrians in tench coats and journalist hats were carrying or levitating cameras with them, ready to take pictures of us.

I felt time slow down as I saw the damn paparazzi ready their cameras, excited at getting photos of the latest scoop. Not only was I going to have my face plastered all over Equestrian magazines, but bourgeois Equestrian magazines that obsessed over trivial gossip and shallow trivial news. I braced myself for the photo op, at least giving a smile, but it seemed my silent prayers were answered when not a single camera flash or click went off.

The crowd had glanced to the side and had immediately stopped chatting as two figures approached from the right. I recognized those figures instantly and my mouth hung agape.

As the onlookers and media scrambled to the other direction, into the doughnut shop walked in two soldiers in greenish tundra camouflage, bullet proof vests, and helmets that sported a balaclava and goggles. Arstrotzkan soldiers.

They weren't carrying any visible weapons besides two pistols which knowing international customs, were probably unloaded. With their height and get up however, that was all they needed to send a Canterlot crowd in the other direction. What got me though was the fact that they weren't looking all stern and aggressive, but rather joyful if their movements and eye expressions were anything to go by.

"Ah! Pryvet comrade Ulyanov!" called out the first one to walk in.

I raised my eyebrow in confusion. "Um, pryvet comrade....?"

"Pavel!" answered the solider. "And this over here is my friend Artyom."

"Nice to meet you." greeted Aryom, whose voice was much lower than Pavel's.

Pavel extended his hand to Cadance. "And to you Princes Cadance. I trust your date is going well?"

Cadance seemed flabbergasted for a moment, but she resumed composure and gladly shook Pavel's gloved hand. "Nice to meet you sir, and yes, things have been going quite well."

"Haha that's amazing!" cheered Pavel. "I swear to all that is pure, you made the right choice dating an Arstrotzkan. I guarantee that he'll treat you right like a person rather than a means to get some fame or prestige."

"No need to guarantee me that," laughed Cadance. "Lev has been pretty amazing."

I put a finger on my chin. "By the way comrades, what exactly are you all doing here? Did we happen to have the same idea for breakfast?"

"Actually," answered Pavel, who was far less expressive than his partner. "We've been assigned by the embassy to keep an eye on you."

"Come again?" I frowned.

Pavel laughed like it was no big deal. "Ah don't worry, we keep tabs on all Arstrotzkans here, lest something bad happens and we spark an international incident you know? We figured there would be a bunch of snobby fucks trying to get into your business so we decided to make a move to the castle and saw you walking inside here."

"Good call since we dispersed that degenerate paparazzi mob." added Artyom.

"Are you guys armed by any chance?" asked Cadance, pointing to some holstered pistols.

"Oh these?" remarked Pavel. "We might be carrying these pistols around, but we are not allowed to bring ammunition outside of embassy grounds according to our treaty with this country, so they're effectively useless."

"They, don't know that however." muttered Pavel.

"Well," shrugged Cadance. "I guess it will be up to me save us all if things get violent."

"Yeah, I wouldn't cross you without an entire battalion at my disposal." chuckled Pavel.

"Seriously though," panned Cadance. "Are you going to be following us for the rest of the day?"

Pavel innocently raised his hands up and his eyes widened. "Listen. We've watched and read enough chick flicks and romance stuff to know that no one likes it when the bodyguard starts obsessively hounding over you and ruining your fun."

"But it's either us or the hordes of paparazzi." interrupted Artyom, crossing his arms.

Cadance and I looked at each other.

Cadance bit her lip. "Given my experience, I'll try you guys out."

"Ditto." I nodded. If the presence of two men in scary masks was enough to drive away elitist pricks, sign me up.

"Excellent!" chirped Pavel. "Trust us, you won't even feel or see us for the rest of the day unless you give us a call."

"That reminds me, we should go get brunch." noted Artyom.

"Right you are tovarisch!" exclaimed Pavel. "But before I go..."

Pavel reached into a sack and pulled out something that made my eyes widen. It was an organic low fat salami stick wrapped in biodegradable and environmentally friendly plastic. The best kind ever.

Pavel left it at the table and winked while he and Artyom walked over the counter. Joe however, had just arrived to bring Cadance and I our food which he had placed on a tray and sat down in front of us. Joke looked back at the soldiers and gulped, before taking a deep breath and returning to the counter to take their order.

"Well, I guess we won't have a mob after us today." I joked.

"That's true, because I'd for any misunderstandings to happen." pointed Cadance.

"Speaking of which,"I sighed, glancing at the piece of salami. "You don't mind if I eat this right?"

Cadance giggled. "It's okay Lev. I might not be an omnivore like you, but I understand."

I cut up the salami into pieces and added it to my bagel before taking a bite. My taste buds danced with delight upon tasting the food, the bagel, the egg, the cheese and those salami bits all blended together nicely. Arstrotzka had great local cuisine, but the generic international delicacies weren't anything to ever get excited for. Cadance herself was pleasantly enjoying her cream cheese bagel.

I glanced on over to Artyom and Pavel, who had gotten their food and sat themselves on the other side of the shop, giving me and Cadance plenty of breathing room.

"Are you enjoying breakfast?" asked Cadance.

"Definitely," I answered, swallowing another piece. "So know what we're going to do after."

"Yep!" chirped Cadance. "After this, we're going to go check out an air show and then meet up some of my friends!"

"Your friends?" I checked.

"Mhm," nodded Cadance. "That's not going to be a problem now is it?"

"Oh no. Why would it?" I frowned, hoping I hadn't struck a nerve.

"Because I get the feeling you may be a little more suspicious after last night." pointed out Cadance.

"Eh," I muttered. "You clearly aren't the type of person to hang out with people that would hate me and want to destroy our relationship right? I could totally get along fine with them if we met. You got along fine with some of my friends."

Cadance smiled. "Excellent. Trust me, you'll love them. I've booked lunch somewhere we always used to eat on a day off. You'll love the food."

I finished the last bite of my bagel. "Well, if these bagels are anything to go by, then I ain't going to doubt you."

Cadance finished her food as well and wiped her mouth with a levitating napkin. I did the same and threw away the waste in the appropriate containers. Young Pioneer training wasted no time drilling what to recycle and when in my mind.

The two of us got up and said goodbye to Joe (I had especially thanked him for being accepting of us) while our two 'bodyguards' claimed they would catch up soon enough.

We stepped out the door of the Doughnut shop and once again, the beautiful scene of Canterlot presented itself before our very eyes. Thankfully, there wasn't a major crowd or press group waiting to ambush us outside, probably the sight of Pavel and Artyom walking into the shop being the major factor.

We held hands and walked down the street, heading to our next destination for the day.

"So what's the airshow about?" I asked.

"As is probably the case in your country, airshows aren't exactly done when the weather isn't ideal," noted Cadance. "Normally we would get around that by having our Pegsai clear the area, but playing too much with the weather in winter would disturb some imporant processes. So on this day, which is pretty much the one day of 'Spring in the Winter', the Wonderbolts take advantage of that by putting on their only winter airshow for us when the skies are clear."

"I see, take advantage of the day," I nodded. "Haven't I seen the Wonderbolts perform?"

Cadance bit her lip. "Once I think if my memory serves me right. It was definitely at some sort of global event, but air shows performed by great power personnel take priority."

I sheepishly grinned. "Well those Germane Valkyrie fly pretty magnificently. And I thought you liked our planes?"

"Oh I do," insisted Cadance. "But would it kill you guys to let someone else perform?"

"Hey, who says it's us? Maybe your performers need to find the courage to stand up to the coordinators to get a turn or not brush off performing for the Great Powers?" I remarked half jokingly.

"Yeah right...as if the Arstrotzkan choir would ever consider playing in Canterlot." retorted Cadance.

"Touche." I replied.

The two of us laughed it out. Just a few quips here and there didn't hurt anybody.

More and more people were beginning to stare at me and Cadance as we made our way to where the air show would be held. Thankfully, none seemed to get too close and I didn't hear a single camera go off. If that meant Pavel and Artyom had secretly caught up behind us, then I wouldn't be raising my voice. We tightened the grip we had on each other's hand as we moved, lest we get separated in a mob.

It was kind of weird to have all this attention thrown at you to be honest. It was like I was a celebrity of some sorts, which considering I was dating Cadance, I might as well would have been. Whenever me and Cadance were this close to each other, it was in the presence of dignitaries and student representatives from other countries that didn't have that much of an attachment towards Cadance as much as the average Equestrian did. Then again, it wasn't like we were dating back then.

Regardless, I straightened my expression and held my head up. I felt that these sorts of things would be happening when you dated a Princess, but I wasn't going to let it get in the way of being in a relationship with the women I loved.

But I guess everyone had their limits however, I felt like I was about to tremble any second as more and more nobles in stupid outfits and makeup swarmed in on me and Cadance to get a view. I could hear all the muttering among the crowd and the things they had to say about me. No one dared speak up however, lest they provoke the wrath of their beloved alicorn Princess.

Just then I felt Cadance place her hands on my elbows to spin me around to her direction. As if we could read each other's minds, I hugged her back and pulled her in for a deep kiss. Hardly a second in later, she raised her leg and I got to hold her up with one hand on her bare thigh as well.

Not only did it calm most of my nerves, but it sent out cries of scandal and bewilderment among the crowd watching us, almost all of whom had been nobles. There were the odd mummers of approval however, mostly from the younger voices that cheered us two on and a few laughs from the more average looking Equestrian.

If there was anything we Arstrotzkans loved, it was being subversive against old tired orders, and our interracial kiss was most certainly that. As much as I wanted to furiously make love to her at that moment and scrape my hand against her lap, I knew I couldn't act like that in public.

We unglued our lips and bodies from each other and Cadance turned to face the crowd. In return, a few of them actually began to bow down once they realized just who they were making remarks about. The rest seemed to be paralyzed by confusion.

Cadance innocently twirled a lock of her hair. "What's the matter? Never seen two people kiss before?"

Quite a few genuine laughs were elicited from the crowd while the rest stood silent, daring not to voice their disapproval. I also enjoyed the glorious scene of a few male nobles, some my age and some older, having looks of jealousy on their face. Oh, how they probably felt entitled to Cadance only to have their dreams of royalty and wealth shattered by a foreign collectivist.

Cadance's expression was that of a proud smirk. She was going to be in this relationship with me no matter what and Equestrian society would have to deal with it. With that, she took my hand and we continued onto the site of the air show.

We took a detour on a paved pathway and made our way into a forested area that concealed the location of the event. I was expecting a sort of stadium or air strip, but instead found myself looking at a large grassy field with a massive track runaway. A large row of bleachers housed a wide array of onlookers, average people in the front and the more bourgeois folk in the VIP sections.

There was a bit of a line to a gateway where tickets were being collected for average participants, but no such thing for the VIP booth. Cadance dragged me over to the VIP section, zipping past all sorts of comments from the line parallel to us.

The Ticket Manager in the VIP section almost fainted upon seeing Cadance, but his expression turned into a wince upon seeing me. Whether it was me simply being her boyfriend, or him sensing my lack of magical presence and putting two and two together, he looked like he was in a state of distress.

The guy took a gulp and focused his attention in Cadance. "Your...your majesty! You don't need to stand in line! You can just go!"

"Oh, come now! I have to have my ticket ready like everyone else. It's only fair!" insisted Cadance.

Cadance snapped her hand and summoned two VIP tickets, both of which had a stamp of approval to show they were legitimate.

I put a finger on my chin. "Are you Equestrians really sure than no one can just summon a pair of tickets that aren't really their own?"

Cadance sighed. "Lev, I know your people don't have much of an affinity for magic, but surely you'd know that if you were to summon something, you'd have to know where it is in the first place. I could summon my tickets because I remember what they looked like and where I kept them."

"I swear, you Equestrians make magic feel like just another field of science rather than some fantastical arcane power." I grinned.

"Why not both?" joked Cadance.

The gate to the field opened and the two of us walked over to the VIP section. Luckily, the section was at the top, so we emerged behind the bleachers and didn't get spotted. Unluckily, it didn't take too long before people started looking up and noticing us.

Once more the crowd began to mummer and speak among themselves, with some special glances thrown directly at me. Cadance merely smiled and waved and I did the same. It calmed some of the crowd down while the rest that were more suspicious of me kept their glaring faces on.

"Do they ever get sick of seeing you?" I whispered half jokingly.

"Nah," shrugged Cadance. "I'm like a walking pot of gold to them. Surely though you'd understand why everyone would be excited to see their leader."

"Fair enough." I replied.

Another accented voice called out to us. "Huh, you should see the Kaiser back in the Reich. Other than autographs for first timers and cheering his name when he walks into a bar, he just another sight for us."

Cadance and I looked down and found ourselves looking at a row sat by people with brownish blond hair, fair skin and hazel green eyes. The uniforms they wore were similar to Arstrotzkan officer ones, albeit of a darker grey color and with a more pronounced coat. Their suits carried a distinctive patch that bore a white flag with a black cross at the center, in the middle of which was an emblem that depicted a 6 pointed black star. Normally these men would have worn either peaked caps or spiked helmets, but those were on their laps for some reason, probably so the row behind them could see.

"You guys are from the Germane Reich right?" I asked, a small grin on my face.

"Ja freund!" nodded the one turned back to us. "My name is Avraham. Ambassador of the Germane Reich to Equestria. I trust that you are Arstrotzkan Lev Ulyanov, Cadance's new....boyfriend."

Avraham and his men lightly chuckled and so did Cadance and I. I got a better look at his face and noted that he was a bit older than us, but still definitely under 30.

"Right you are!" I replied, getting excited.

Avraham turned to Cadance and extended his hand. "Princess Cadance, it is an honor to see you once more!"

"The pleasure is all mine Avraham." greeted Cadance, who shook his hand. David and I shook as well.

"I trust you two have met right?" I checked.

"Of course Lev." answered Cadance to my obvious question. "I have to know and meet all of the ambassadors to Equestria especially in the case of international incidents."

"I mostly meet with Celestia though," noted Avraham. "Mostly for diplomatic reasons and..."

Avraham blushed and gushed. "Sometimes not so diplomatic reasons."

The other Germane embassy workers next to us laughed and the ones next to Avraham patted his back.

Avraham's blush turned really red. "Hey! If you guys were boyfriend material like I am and studied hard enough to become ambassador, you'd be dating her too!"

Cadance and I laughed even harder at that remark.

"So what brings you guys down here to this place?" I asked.

"Today marks the only day of spring in the winter," answered Avraham. "And since our country is ethnic Equestrian and controls the weather with magic unlike your homeland, today is our holiday as well."

"That reminds me," spoke up Cadance. "For a place that loves central planning, you guys are really laissez faire with nature."

"Well excuse me Princess, but we weren't born magic," I defended. "Until then we're at mother nature's mercy."

"Huh, you guys can develop computers, but still haven't figured out how to manipulate clouds yet?" remarked another Germane embassy workers. "Seriously, this is why you guys are the ones who love terrible climate in Germane jokes."

"I think you're really underestimating how tough it would be to develop terraforming technology!" I replied.

"Is it really any harder then developing surface to air missiles specifically designed to kill Bug Bears?" smirked Cadance.

"Yes!" I yelled, prompting Cadance and the Germanes to start laughing out of an enjoyment in roasting me.

My faced turned red for a moment, but that subsided when Cadance hugged me close and kissed me.

"Don't worry Levy, we're just teasing you out of good fun." assured Cadance.

"It's okay kitten, I know you'd never try to hurt me." I smiled.

"Isn't that adorable?" remarked a Germane. "Reminds me of my girlfriend back in the fatherland."

"Yeah," said Avaraham whose attention turned towards to people sitting around us. "The other Equestrians seem to think otherwise."

"Ah, why should Lev and Cadance give a fuck about what they think to be honest?" said another Germane. "These are the ones that will hate anything that isn't a wealthy Equestrian noble."

Cadance and I glanced at each other upon hearing his remark. Truth be told, the two of us really didn't care for pleasing a bunch of bigots and elitists, but we didn't need to become public enemy number one. The Germane Reich was the most militarily powerful nation on the planet and its entire population was united as a single military class even in civilian life. As my observations in the Reich's embassy in Arstrozka proved otherwise however, the Germanes tended to think mostly in terms of military strategy, not always seeing the importance of international image and foreign support.

Heck, the very reason why they abandoned their traditional Mareopean allies during the Arstrotzkan revolution is because we promised them firearms in return.

I raised my voice. "To be fair, the last thing Cadance and I need is Equestria's elite actively trying to bring us down."

"Bigots or not, they still have the power to turn the public against us." added Cadance.

"I honestly doubt that given you're an alicorn," shrugged Avraham. "Until then, we've essentially bought out the VIP place for us and our guards to enjoy."

Cadance and I looked across the bleachers and noticed the VIP section was crowded with Germane embassy workers with a few seated and some standing Germane soldiers nearby. I easily recognized the Germane soldier with their grayish coats, steel helmets and gas masks that pumped them the scent of some sort of magical herb that let them operate for extended periods of time. With their menacing appearance, it was a wonder the Equestrians weren't running in the entire direction given they were the best the planet had to offer.

"Huh, I was wondering why there weren't any Royal Guards around." stated Cadance.

"Believe me when I say we're doing us all a favor by bringing in our embassy's security contingent instead of relying on Equestria's," scoffed Avraham. "No offense Princess Cadance."

"As long as no innocents are harmed, I'm totally fine." smiled Cadance.

I placed a finger on my chin. "Speaking of which where are.."

As if she could read mind, Cadance tapped my shoulder and pointed to the bottom row of the VIP section, where Artyom and Pavel were sitting. Evidently they could move faster than we could predict.

"So I hope you guys like Germanes, because you're stuck with the embassy today." laughed Avraham.

"I work at the Germane embassy back home!" I exclaimed.

"So you have the best job ever!" beamed Avraham. "Cadance, you picked a great guy."

"You don't need to tell me twice." replied Cadance, hugging me closer.

I raised a finger. "Although I will say you guys way less loose back at home."

"Eh, today is a holiday, so tomorrow we'll go back to being stern military brats." joked Avraham. "Celestia thinks I'm way cuter that way anyway."

"Yeah," agreed Cadance. "Jackboots that act tough, but are really mushy and considerate underneath are just the best...and totally hot."

Suddenly, the sound of music playing hit our ears and we all faced forwards. A woman with a flashy outfit, flashier and more ridiculous than the ones I've seen so far, stepped up in front of a microphone.

"That's Sapphire Shores, she's one of the top teen pop singers in this country." whispered Cadance.

"You a fan of her?" I asked.

"She's so bubblegum pop, I'm more pop rock and dance pop." replied Cadance.

"Pfft, thought you would have been a classical music and techno person like me." I retorted.

"None of you are jazz fans?" muttered Avraham.

The introductory music died down as Sapphire Shores tapped her microphone for a check up. Her tone of voice was rather haughty, but fun and excited as well. "All rise for the Equestrian anthem!"

We did as told and out of respect, placed our right hand on our chest where our heart would be. In that moment, music once again played once more as Sapphire sang Equestria's anthem with impressive talent.

Equestria, the land I love
A land of harmony
Our flag does wave from high above
For everyone to see
Equestria, a land of friends
Where love and hope do roam
They say true friendship never ends
Equestria, my home

I could feel the passion in her eyes and tone as she sang. The love of her country and singing was reflected in her voice greatly and I could tell there was no other place she would have rather been. Those feelings of her's certainly resonated with the rest of the Equestrian audience, especially with Cadance given that this was the country she ruled.

The song ended and we all burst into a wide array of applause while one of the Germanes blew a loud whistle of appreciation, which Sapphire certainly noticed.

"Well," I remarked. "That anthem sure was..."

"Nowhere near as long as the ones you and the Germanes are used to?" interrupted Cadance.

"Hey, quantity is good when your anthem is of superb quality." fired back Avraham.

Sapphire smiled and took a small bow before she spoke in the microphone. "Thank you! Thank you! You guys are just the best and always make my day. It warms my heart to see that I can make all of you oh so happy with my music."

Another round of applause was given to Sapphire before she continued on. "Today we celebrate yet another special holiday where we have a single day of warm spring amid our cold and rainy winters. I don't know about you guys, but performing in this kind of weather really beats accidentally slipping on snow or a rain puddle."

We all laughed, mostly from that image of her just tripping over in the middle of a song.

Sapphire finished chuckling herself. "And to take advantage of this day, what better way to celebrate than by having an air show by the one and only Wonderbolts!"

We all cheered as we witnessed 5 figures clad in blue body suits fly down from the sky at immense speeds to one end of the field. The Wonderbolts were obviously all Pegsai, and were Equestria's non mechanical equivalent of Arstrotzkan airshow pilots. Although I had seen plenty of airshows back at home, seeing an actual human fly as opposed to using a plane made for a unique experience.

Sapphire took a deep breath. "But before we begin, I'd like to make three special announcements. First, I'd like to announce my new album will be coming out in 4 months rather than 5!"

The crowd erupted into applause while I rolled my eyes, remembering that Sapphire was still an elite that loved her money. I brushed off the sales pitch by acknowledging that in fairness, now was a pretty decent time to advertise.

"Second," continued Sapphire. "I would like to give a big welcome to our guests from the Germane Reich embassy who have...rented out pretty much the entire VIP section."

The Germanes in front of us burst into patriotic cheers and raised their hands into the Germane salute.

"Kaiser mit uns !" yelled Avraham.

I could tell that many of the Equestrians weren't too enthralled out of a combination of the Germane embassy taking up the VIP section and the fact that they were a reminder of the most militarily powerful nation on the planet. Even Sapphire's smile was kinda cracked in that it looked like she expected the Germanes to start magically blasting her. Couldn't really blame them to be quite honest, as even a tiny contingent of Germane guards was like having a few dragons among a flock of sheep.

Sapphire Shores regained her composure. "And finally, I'd like to give a big round of applause to her majesty Princess Cadance and her new boyfriend...from...you look Arstrotzkan?"

I closed my mouth and gave her a thumbs up, hoping she could see.

Sapphire nodded and smiled once. "As I thought! So how about we wish our Princess and her new BF the best!"

For a second there was a pause and it made me tense. Were they really going to applaud Cadance and I, or was xenophobia and classism going to win out?

Suddenly, the Germane ambassadors, their guards and Artyom and Pavel broke into thunderous applause. Sapphire squealed girlishly and began to clap herself. Before I knew it, the rest of the crowd and the Wondercolts themselves did the same, Cadance and I getting a few whistles of appreciation as well.

Cadance and I glanced at each other and blushed. It really was something to have nearly a stadium of people cheer you on. Wanting to test how genuine their feelings were, we hugged each other and embraced fully on the lips. Thankfully, we weren't met with any scorns and the enthusiasm of the crowd audibly grew as well.

Avraham raised his voice loud. "Good job! With the Equestria's biggest teen pop sensation on your side, you've basically won over this country."

"Oh yeah! We've totally got 100% support on our side!" sarcastically exclaimed Cadance.

"I'm going have to be dealing with this kind of my attention for the rest of my life aren't I?" I yelled amid the fanfare.

"If you want to date me, I'm afraid so," smirked Cadance. "If I can get used to it, so can you!"

"Anything for you kitten." I laughed.

Finally the applause died down and Sapphire took the microphone one final time. "Aww, you two are amazing! I'd play you both a really sweet love song I know. Heck, I might write one just for you two. It doesn't even have to be my usual brand of music, I'm adaptable!"

Cadance and I laughed at her offer. I honestly was considering it.

"But alas," concluded Sapphire. "We must go on with the show. And with that, I present to you....the one...and only...WONDERBOLTS!"

The VIP tent was pretty expansive and was bustling with press. Besides the Wonderbolts, the only ones not working with in the media were us and the Germane embassy. That was what happens when an entire department bought out the passes.

The Germanes were taking their turn to line up for photos with the Wonderbolts, who had earlier put up a stellar performance. There was something just magical about seeing them fly so ferociously and majestically in the sky, and not in the obvious literal sense. The show went on for two hours with 10 minute breaks in between, which was necessary given that it was them putting on the performance rather than machines.

On the line to see them, journalists were asking us for photo ops and we gladly accepted. I got the feeling they were going to end up on some famous magazines pretty soon, but they were probably going to be published by the time I left. Although I could tell that Cadance. being the person that she was, would send them over and insist I read them anyway.

A few photographers were turned down by Artyom and Pavel, who insisted that they would have used our images in less than respectable publications. Considering that they apparently read lots of magazines and gossip in their break time, we trusted their expertise on this.

Right in front of us, Avraham and two of his colleagues took their photo in front of the Wonderbolts, the latter of whom looked pretty nervous given that the Germanes were wearing unnerving outfits and were pretty threatening if provoked.

Finally, it was mine and Cadance's turn to go. The Germanes had managed to impatiently rush over to the line, so they all got to go first.

There were 3 Wonderbolts, who were taking photos, all of whom looked to be around our age and were clad in those blue jumpsuits. The first was a woman with flaming orange and yellow, the second was a man with dark blue hair and eyebags under his eyes (probably from stress) and the third had white hair that reminded me of a cloud (rather fitting for her).

The woman with orange hair glanced at us and gave a small semi squeal of delight! "Oh my gosh! Princess Cadance, it's such an honor to meet you again! Soarin and Fleetfoot were so excited to have you here."

Soarin and and Fleetfoot nodded in agreement and alongside Spitfire, bowed before Cadance.

"It's great to be back Spitfire!" exclaimed Cadance. "You guys are really improving."

"Hehe thanks," gulped Soarin, both out of fatigue and nervousness. "We've only been at it for a few years, so sorry if we didn't impress."

"Didn't impress?" frowned Cadance. "No way! You guys were amazing. Even Celestia admits she can't do some of the stuff you can."

"Oh, that's impossible!" blurted Fleetfoot. "We can be good, but I doubt we'll surpass an alicorn Princess like you."

"Aw, stop being so hard on yourself," insisted Cadance. "They were amazing, right Levy?"

"Damn straight kitten!" I agreed. "I loved every moment of it. You were like these badass angels just sweeping everywhere."

The Wonderbolts looked at me hesistantly for a moment and I flinched. I really hoped that they weren't going to disavow me at that moment. For starters, I didn't want that kind of drama right now. Second, having some famous and well loved people in Equestria hating you wasn't going to be a good thing for your love life. Finally, scorning me wasn't smart for their safety with the Germane Embassy and two Arstrotzkan guards were around.

Much to my pleasure however, there looks of confusion cleared up and immediately they formed smiles.

Spitfire extended my hand. "Pleasure to meet you Mr....Levy?"

I took her hand and blushed. "Er, it's just Lev. Levy is Cadance's pet name for me."

The Wonderbolts chuckled and Cadance smirked.

"Oh, so that's why you called Cadance 'kitten' huh? Talk about an actual pet name." laughed Starefire.

"Feel free to call him Levy when you want though. He likes it." mused Cadance with a haughty grin.

I smiled and sighed and shook the hands of the Wonderbolts, stopping only when a journalist wanted to take my photo.

"So have you been in Equestria before?" asked Soarin.

"Eh, once or twice if I recall correctly, but that was for international events I got invited to. This is the first time I am actually seeing the country besides a hotel." I explained.

"So are you enjoying it here?" asked Fleetfoot gleefully.

"I'm having lots of fun if that's what you mean." I smiled.

"That's great to hear," said Spitfire with a small pat on my shoulder. "How do we compare to your airplane machines back at your home?"

"You're all special and daring in your own unique ways." I joked.

"Isn't that sweet?" cooed Fleetfoot. "The Germanes kept telling us their Valkyries back home were more reckless and daring."

"Hey!" called out Avraham. "That doesn't mean you guys aren't brave and awesome yourself!"

Spitfire laughed out loud and turned back to us. "Man, I should tell you that you're probably the luckiest guy in the world by dating Cadance. I know a lot of dudes and some girls that want to be her lover."

"Huh," hummed Cadance as she pulled me closer to her. "I'd say I'm the lucky one by getting to date this handsome hunk of an Arstrotzkan political officer."

The three Wonderbolts collectively 'awed'. I blushed and tugged on my shirt with a goofy grin. Unfortunately a journalist took a photo of me at that moment, and I could already predict that photo coming back to haunt me later.

"Seriously though, I didn't think anyone expected a foreign government dude to be the one dating Cadance," pointed Soarin. "Everyone was expecting it to be some noble or at least someone from Equestria."

"Trust me, there's a lot of high ranking guys in Canterlot that wanted Cadance for themselves. You better watch out." warned Spitfire.

"Eh, with the blessing of the Arstrotzkan government, I'm sure we're fine." I assured.

"But really though, when you two have your big cross cultural wedding, you have GOT to let us do the airshow for you," offered Fleetfoot. "That would be like, the gig of the lifetime."

Cadance and I glanced at each other and blushed. We had just started officially dating, and now we were talking about marriage? Especially one that would probably have some grand wedding given Cadance's status. The reassuring smiles we gave each other though helped melt away the anxiety though.

"You'll have to compete with the Arstrotzkan air force for show time though. They'll fight you for the opportunity." I joked.

"That's not fair! We can't shoot bullets and missiles out of our bodies. We'll get shot down." laughed Spitfire.

"I really would like to pilot one of those airplanes however. They seem fun." said Soarin.

"Good luck fitting in a cockpit with your wings handing out." retorted Fleetfoot.

"Until that time comes, how about a photo?" smirked Spitfire.

"Of course! Come on Lev." chirped Cadance.

We got together in front of the Cameras as multiple flashes took our photo. I handed my phone over to Artyom so he could take a personal photograph for myself to remember. We followed it up with autographs and readied to make our move to our next destination.

"Thanks so much for watching our show your highness." beamed Spitfire.

"No, thank you for putting on such a great show." replied Cadance.

"And to Lev, good luck with the rest of your day in Canterlot. wished Spitfire.

"Thanks comrade." I chuckled.

Artyom and Pavel walked up to the Wonderbolts.

"You two go on ahead. We'll get our pictures and autographs in the mean time." stated Pavel as he and Artyom got into position with the Wonderbolts.

Pavel got out his phone. "Okay, we'll do two shots with my front camera and two shots with my back."

"What's the difference?" frowned Fleetfoot.

Artyom and Pavel laughed as if she just told a joke as Cadance and I exited the VIP tent, saying our final goodbyes to Avraham and the Germane embassy as well.

There wasn't anyone to greet us outside the tent, the journalists and paparazzi being occupied with the Wonderbolts.

"So I guess it's lunchtime now huh?" I noted.

"Yep, I cant wait for you to meet my friends!" smiled Cadance, gripping my hand tighter.

We managed to successfully blend into the downtown crowd. It was apparently lunch rush time for the Equestrians, and so the streets were cramped with people trying to get their favored restaurant. Knowing the folk of Canterlot, they all probably had reservations in some fancy locale which they just had to get to before it expired and someone waiting in line got it.

There were a few looks at us, but no one bothered to stop us for any reason. Either they could tell Cadance and I didn't want to be bothered, or because getting their meal was a higher priority for them at the moment.

"So what's the place we're eating at kitten?" I asked.

"You'll love it Levy. It's a pretty fancy restaurant, but I swear the food it what they prioritize the most," said Cadance. "Anyone who is anyone has dined here at least once Canterlot. Back when I was in high school, me any my friends would come here once every few weeks."

"Since I'm a someone, I can't wait to try." I smiled. We had our fine dining areas in Moscolt which could get expensive, but not too expensive for the average workers. The really elite stuff was in hotels, and mostly for foreign guests and banquets.

"What's the place called?" I asked.

"The Blue Ribbon," answered Cadance, dragging me forward so that we wouldn't get caught up in a crowd. "Annnnnnd we're here."

The exterior to the restaurant was dressed in a sort of ancient Troman style with wide glass windows to give a look inside, which I really liked. It didn't seem to be big on the outside, but there were quite a few people waiting to go inside.

We zipped past the line of people waiting to take in a reservation and made it straight for a waiter operating a booth for people who had already reserved in advance.

The server was checking a sheet before looking up at us. The second he glanced at Cadance, his violet eyes widened and he immediately tried to fix his appearance.

"Princess Cadance!" cried the waiter as he bowed down. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

Cadance tried to read the waiter's name. "Hi Mr...Dinner Date?"

"Of course he's named Dinner Date," I muttered in Arstrotzkan. I immediately regretted doing that as Cadance squeezed my hand so hard that I almost thought I was about to lose a limb.

"That's me," nodded Dinner Date, whose earlier exclamation attracted the gaze of the line next to us.

The people by our side were mostly our age and maybe a little younger and older. Thankfully, this meant most of them weren't hating on us and I heard quite a few people whisper that Cadance and I were 'cute together' and 'lucky'. I smiled and waved. Only a few people were jealous, and oddly enough a few seemed to have been envying Cadance of all people. I guessed I was a more of a looker than I gave myself credit for.

"I have reservations under my name for four. It should be valid in about five minutes." said Cadance.

"Yes yes yes!" squirmed Dinner Date. "You're right on schedule madam, I mean, Princess Cadance!"

Dinner Date opened the door behind him while me and Cadance followed suit. The inside of the restaurant was pretty lavish to say the least, with a simple, but elegant design. Despite being crowded with people chatting and eating at their tables, the decor of the area wasn't boisterous at all. I guess those that dined hear had the great manners one could imagine.

As expected however, the restaurant fell dead silent for a moment as everyone took note of me and Cadance. Once the initial shock was gone, everyone began to do the usual by expressing and gossiping their disbelief at the site before them. I guessed I was getting used to the attention since I didn't hesitate this time.

Just then Dinner Date's mouth and chin began to glow as he lit up a spell that magically enhanced his voice like a megaphone's. "Attention! Princess Cadance is here to dine with her...boyfriend...so I expect her to have the peace she deserves. I will not hesitate to remove each and everyone of you that dares to disrupt her or give her a hard time!"

Without a moment to spare, the crowd in the room went back to their normal lunch routine as if nothing interesting just happened.

Cadance tapped Dinner Date on the shoulder. "It's alright. I come here often so regulars are used to seeing me here."

"Often?" repeated Dinner Date with glee. "Well, I'm new here, but I am surely looking forward to serving you and your lover Ms. Cadance. Soon to be Mrs. I assume?"

"That's a few years from now." I chuckled.

We sat our table and Dinner Date handed us 4 menus.

Cadance tapped his shoulder right before he left. "By the way, my friends are named Diamond Rose and Lemony Gem. If the two of them are asking for me, just direct them here."

"Will do your highness!" exclaimed Dinner Date.

I took a look around the area. "I'm liking it here. Reminds me of some of the fancier places I dined at when we in the embassy commemorated some holiday or birthday."

"Well, I hope the food meets up with your expectations as well." shrugged Cadance.

"Too bad the lack of flesh limits my options." I pouted.

"I'm afraid you're gonna have to get used to it in Canterlot." remarked Cadance.

"Don't worry," said a familiar voice. "The menu has some amazing stuff."

Cadance and I looked behind us and found Artyom and Pavel sitting at their table, looking at the menu. Their masks and helmets had been taken off, so we could fully see their facial features for the first. Artyom was probably a western Arstrotzkan with his green eyes, fair skin and moderate brown stubble while Pavel was more on the northern side given his blue eyes, pale skin and shaved, but clearly blond, hair.

Both of them had clearly been inside for a few minutes.

"No fucking way," I shook. "We left the Wonderbolts' tent way before you did."

"Our training covers many things comrade." explained Pavel.

Cadance and I laughed as we looked into the menu.

"See anything you like Levy?" asked Cadance, looking down at her menu.

"I wouldn't say like kitten, more like I see something I love." I replied.

Cadance frowned. "What do you mean...oh...." Cadance looked up and realized I was looking at her with a blush on my face. Her face turned red as well.

"Come on Lev, that's sweet, but it's one of the oldest tricks in the book." she smiled.

"But it seems to have worked right?" I chirped.

"Definitely." confirmed Cadance.

"Hey there!" cheered a new girlish voice.

Two hands were suddenly placed on my elbows. "Oh my gosh, are you the lucky guy?"

Cadance clasped her hands together and and looked at the two women behind us. "You guys made it!"

"Of course we would!" replied a girl whose hair was two shades of greenish and grayish blue with her eyes beign a similar shade. She wore a simple yellow t-shirt and long blue skinny jeans.

"Lev I'd like you to meet my closest and best friends." said Cadance in an excited tone. She pointed to the girl wearing yellow. "This right here is Lemony Gem. And the girl holding your shoulders is Diamond Rose."

"Hey there!" greeted Diamond Rose. I looked up and saw a Pegasus with gray wings looking back down at me. She had a red blouse topped with a gray jacket and brown bell bottom pants. Her hair was 3 stripes of red, purple and pink while her eyes were simply blue.

"So how are you two doing?" asked Lemony.

"Just amazing," responded Cadance. "Please, sit down."

The two took the seats in front of and facing us. The grabbed and opened up their menu, but immediately turned their faces towards me, both eager and dying for questions.

"So you're Cadance's new boyfriend huh?" checked Diamond Rose.

"The one and only." I grinned.

"And things are official?" added Lemony.

"I sure hope so." I answered.

"Good, because the last time something happened that was official, it didn't work out." noted Diamond Rose with a concerned look.

Cadance and I bit out lips, knowing she was referring to Shining Armor.

"Like seriously," remarked Lemony. "On Prom Night we basically went through a whole ordeal just to get Cadance, the most popular girl in school mind you, and the total geek Shining Armor, together."

"We know, but things can take unexpected turns." I inferred.

"Seriously though," muttered Diamond. "Believe me when I say it wasn't easy considering she was supposed to already be on a date with school Polo captain Buck."

"Who is Buck?" I frowned.

Cadance sighed like it was no big deal. "Oh just some popular jock who thought he was entitled to me. He was a pretty big asshole who thought he was sweet and cool to date me and couldn't believe I'd reject him."

My frown grew. "Uh, that sounds like a caricature out of some bad Arstrotzkan propaganda about non collectivist school life. Hell, the name Buck sounds like some generic bully name from a kids' cartoon. Like seriously, an asshole would never win that much popularity. Cool and confident guys yes, but jerks and bullies have always been ostracized where I'm from."

"Well, we're not you...and was totally hot though," smirked Diamond Rose. "And he won a lot of glory for our school in Polo."

"I...can get the first part, but not the second," I stated. "Come on, some people aren't worth it just because they're pretty."

"In our defense he was an asshole behind closed doors. He revealed his true colors at Prom Night and got booed." defended Diamond.

"Oh," I muttered. "Those people exist I guess."

"And he's been cleaning up his act." added Lemony. "Like seriously, he's still got the whole cool Polo guy thing down, but he's so much kinder the last time I saw him."

"Believe it or not Cadance, I really think your rejection of him really helped him out." told Diamond.

"Yeah, I think Prom Night was the wake up call he needed to get get a grip." speculated Lemony.

"Then that's great to hear!" beamed Cadance. "Tell him I wish him luck on being a better person the next time you see him."

"Okay!" blushed Lemony.

I smirked and pointed my finger at Lemony. "Ohhh, your face is turning red!"

"Yeah." blurted Lemony.

"You still like Buck don't you?" teased Cadance.

"Yep," admitted Lemony. "Athletic, confident, hot and not a jerk anymore. What's not to like?"

"Then go for him!" I encouraged. "That's what I did with kitten and look how happy we are."

"No other place I'd rather be than with you Levy." mused Cadance.

Diamond raised an eyebrow. "Kitten? Levy....Oh my gosh you have pet names for each other already!"

"That's so cute." cooed Lemony.

"And speaking of cute and handsome boys, you really lucked out on Lev Cadance," complimented Diamond.

"Oh I know," smirked Cadance, who grabbed my arm affectionately. "A down to earth, smart and total hunk of a foreign Political Officer. What's not to love?"

"Extra emphasis on hunk," mused Diamond. "I have to say Lev, your body might be a little average in the physical department, but your handsome face is just to die for."

I blushed and blubbered like an idiot. "Oh, um, thanks...that means a lot."

"Come on, didn't you get a lot of requests for dates back in school?" insisted Lemony.

"Well, I was consistently told that I was the prettiest boy in high school." I recalled.

"You mean handsomest?" checked Diamond.

"What? No. I meant what I said." I frowned.

"And I for one think they couldn't have been more right." agreed Cadance who pulled me into a kiss.

"Awww." chirped Cadance's friends.

"Your relationship is something magical, I can tell ya that," beamed Lemony, before her expression showed some concern. "There is no magic involved in this right?"

Cadance and I laughed.

"Oh come on, Lev can't physically use magic." giggled Cadance.

I raised my hands slightly. "And if I was under a love spell....this place would have been turned to rubble by now."

"And I for one like being whole and not charred pieces of ash." joked Cadance.

Dinner Date came back to us while levitating a notepad and pen. "Now that the whole gang is here, can I take your orders?"

"Do you three need more time? You barely looked at the menu?" I checked.

"Heck no, we come here all the time. We know what to get." said Diamond.

"You can order first lover boy." offered Lemony.

"In that case haha..." I chuckled. "Yeah, I'll take the Ramen please."

Dinner Date dotted it down. "Excellent choice since you're...Arstrotzkan right?"

"Da." I nodded.

"See, the tofu we use with our Ramen is said to taste similar to chicken by the other Arstrotzkans that have eaten here. You'll enjoy immensely," he explained. "And for the ladies?"

"Just the Lasagna with Parmesan cheese." ordered Cadance.

"We'll take a cheese and vegetarian pizza." ordered Lemony.

"Are you sure you wanna come here just for Pizza?" checked Cadance.

"But we're BFFs that need to share! And besides, it's so good." defended Lemony.

"Excellent choices." wrote down Dinner Date. "I'll get you all some bread to start and for drinks?"

"Is Canterlot Red wine okay Levy?" asked Cadance.

"Uh, sure yeah." I shrugged.

"Then that's what we'll take for the four of us." told Cadance.

"Good good." nodded Dinner Date. "It'll be ready soon."

Dinner Date took off, Lemony and Diamond's gazes following him, causing them to glance at Artyom and Pavel behind us. The two Arstrotzkan soldiers were in the midst of eating a spaghetti bowl they were apparently sharing. After taking a good look at them, the two girls glanced back at me and Cadance.

"Are they your friends by any chance Lev?" asked Diamond.

"I guess you can say that," I said. "The two were sent by the embassy to protect us."

"That's it? No Canterlot royal guard protection?" questioned Lemony.

''That's an oxymoron." I muttered, causing Cadance to roll her eyes, but then subtly nod in hesitant agreement.

"I have to admit, they're kinda cute." smirked Diamond.

"Think you can introduce us to them? We can go on a six way date together." offered Lemony.

Cadance and I glanced at each other and then back to the two of them.

I cleared my throat. "Um, I don't think that's going to be possible."

"Why not?" frowned Diamond. "You and Cadance get to be an interracial couple that transcends class and politics."

"Uh, that's not what Lev meant." blushed Cadance. She slowly raised a finger and pointed it up and forward, prompting Diamond and Lemony to look back at Artyom and Pavel.

The two Arstrotzkan soldiers were passionately locked in an embrace.

"Ew..." shook Lemony which made me clench my fist as a gut reaction. "You can't kiss while eating spaghetti. The sauce gets everywhere." she continued which made me loosen my grip in relief.

"At least they look cute together." shrugged Diamond.

"And speaking of cute, I really like your outfit Cadance." complimented Lemony.

"Oh, thank you! beamed Cadance.

"A little on the suggestive side though," noted Lemony while looking under to glance at Cadance's long curvy legs and thighs that were revealed by her short skirt. "Gotta flash some skin for your man huh?"

"I ain't complaining." I smirked.

"That and you gotta take advantage of the only day of spring in the winter," added Cadance. "Tomorrow it's back to heavy jackets."

"Didn't stop you from wearing that stripperific strapless dress yesterday night," I reminded. "Again not that I'm complaining."

"Oh how was last night anyway?" asked Diamond.

Cadance and I smiled sheepishly and glanced at each other.

"Uh, want me to explain it kitten?" I offered.

"Go ahead Levy." granted Cadance.

I tried to lower my voice. "Last night, we were interrupted by some guests. Let's just say that they didn't really approve of Cadance dating outside of her race and class. We ended up booting them out."

Diamond and Lemony bit their lips.

"Ohhh man," frowned Diamond. "Sounds rough."

"Yeah, but I think they won't be a problem anytime soon." said Cadance who affectionately put her arm around me and pulled me close.

"Seriously though, there's a lot of bad apples in the Canterlot elite that would rather you and Cadance not get together since you wouldn't be eligible for royalty or nobility." pointed Diamond.

"Ah, I'm still not a fan of the whole becoming a royal thing," I shrugged. "They'll have to accept it eventually."

"If you wanna know about all the people you need to watch out for here, we're your girls." suggested Diamond.

"Heh, I can tell you two would know a lot about Canterlot just from your names. I mean Diamond Rose and Lemony Gem? Doesn't take a genius to know you two are probably from some powerful families." I replied.

"Our names are weird like that," agreed Lemony. "But we're not that powerful honestly."

"It doesn't even matter," noted Cadance. "I chose to hang out with you two because you're both awesome and not stuck up like a certain group of people I had to grow up with."

"And I certainly agree with Cadance on that one." I nodded.

"Aw, what are best friends for?" chirped Diamond.

"Seriously though, if there was some sort of union or collectivist revolution in Equestria, what would happen to us?" asked Lemony.

I tensed for a moment and looked at Cadance. She bit her lip and nodded, giving me permission to answer the question. "That depends. What do your families exactly do?"

"My family runs a few gem companies while Diamond Rose's family owns a bunch of flower plantations." answered Lemony.

"In that case," I began. "For starters I do not belong to a royal family, so there will be no political union with Equestria if Cadance and I got married."

"If? More like when, Levy," winked Cadance who looked back at her friends. "And regardless, I trust you two will be providing the decorations for mine and Lev's wedding."

Her statement caused me and her two friends to blush simultaneously.

I caught my breath and continued on. "Anyway, if there was a massive change, I'm sure you two would be fine letting the workers run your family's industries, right?"

Lemony and Diamond looked at each other, smiled and shrugged.

"To be honest neither of us are exactly in line for running our family's firms. I guess you'll have to ask someone else in our family." stated Diamond.

"I hope they'll let us be their flower girls." joked Lemony.

"By the way are you guys going to go to the fireworks rally tonight?" asked Cadance.

"Totally," answered Diamond. "Gotta end the one day of spring in the winter with a bang eh?"

"It will be really crowded in the city center though," noted Lemony. "You and Lev can blend in, but I think the second you two get spotted, you'll be overwhelmed by a huge crowd."

"No worries," replied Cadance. "I planned to see the fireworks with Lev on top of the castle."

Cadance glanced to me and smiled. "It's more romantic that way anyway."

Our waiter arrived and levitated our dishes towards us. Without wasting a second of time, we all began to dig into our food.

The taste was worth the cost.

Night had finally fallen. After we ate, we took a small tour of Canterlot, got some coffee and now headed back to the Castle. As we approached the Castle grounds, we said goodbye to Cadance's friends and dismissed Artyom and Pavel, leaving just me and Cadance together. The cover of the night had well concealed our path, so much to our delight, we didn't get harassed or noticed by any sort of onlooker without our guards for the moment.

The night sky was beautiful and I could make out many of the numerous stars that glittered in the dark. Unlike the urban metropolis that was Moscolt, there was very little light pollution being generated in Canterlot

Holding hands as we walked, the two of us were pretty tired after a long outing, but we sure as hell weren't going to miss the fireworks.

Cadance yawned lightly. "Quite a day huh?"

"Indeed," I replied. "But I was really glad that I got to spend it with you kitten."

"Likewise Levy." chirped Cadance.

I got out my phone to check the time. "The fireworks will be in a few minutes, so we better head up to a castle tower quick."

"Don't worry, we'll make it." assured Cadance.

We finally reached the gates of the Castle, which glowed magnificently in the night time with various chandeliers and candles illuminating what was going on inside its walls.

"Are we going to meet up with Celestia or something?" I asked.

"I don't think so," answered Cadance. "At this time, she goes to the city center where the fireworks are lit in front of a large crowd as per tradition. We can turn back if you want, but I felt that being in front of such a big crowd would...you know..."

"Ah, say no more," I nodded. "It would be a pain to walk back anyway. Tonight, it will just be the two of us. No crowds, no servants and no government agents, although I can't guarantee the last part."

Cadance laughed at that last part. "Your interesting form of humor always gets me."

"Well, I guess I have a knack for being funny." I smirked.

"Funny? Nah, I'd say your quips are more absurd." winked Cadance.

"Says you!" I chuckled. "So are we going to walk up to your tower or what?"

"Walk? How about we take the shortcut?" suggested Cadance.

I raised my eyebrow. "Shortcut?"

"Mhm," hummed Cadance who let go of my hand. "Just stay still and stand tall."

"Okay?" I frowned, doing as she said.

I stood completely still as Cadance walked behind me. I wanted to turn around to see what she was doing, but that would have violated her orders. After a pause, I heard the sound of magic summoning something and felt Cadance's arms wrapping around my body.

Cadance raised her voice before I could react. "Just relax,"

And at that moment, I felt Cadance pull me off and found my feet no longer attached to the ground as I took off into the sky. I cried out in surprise and turned around to see Cadance with two pink wings sprouting from behind her back as she swooped around and flew us over to her castle tower.

Every part of my body was pulsing and I was fighting it tooth and nail to stop kicking around, lest I hit Cadance and find myself falling to my death. Even though it was a short distance to her tower, I felt like the ride there was lasting an eternity.

I closed my eyes, hoping that would ease the tension as my body soared through the air and finally felt both my feet land on a solid surface.

"You can open your eyes now Lev!" called out Cadance, as if she hadn't just lifted me up.

I opened them and turned around, finding myself staring at Cadance with her two wings prodding from both sides of her back. She had her arms crossed and was biting her lip, trying not to laugh.

I took a deep breath and calmed down. "Right, I forgot that you could do that."

"Fly?" checked Cadance. "You know I was a Pegasus before I became an alicorn right?"

"Oh no, I know that," I assured. "More of the super strength part which I haven't seen you use a lot."

"Well, when you have powerful magic or guns in your case, physical combat more of a last resort," smiled Cadance as her wigs glowed and then vanished. "Although I can still show you what I can do with a sword and bare fists if the need arises."

"Let's hope it doesn't," I laughed. I was never really too bothered by Cadance's powers. Sure they could be overwhelming, but I never felt she would use them against me or the innocent. Hell, there were always battalions of great power soldiers to keep a rogue alicorn in check.

Cadance snapped her fingers and a sundeck chair materialized in the terrace. She looked at me and pointed her and towards it, presenting me with a seat which I gladly took.

I made myself comfortable. "Are you gonna grab one yourself?"

"Now why would I need to do that?" chirped Cadance.

As I expected she brought her self down and lied down on top of me, prompting me to wrap my arms around her waist and belly. We looked passionately into each other's eyes before we closed them to embrace in a deep kiss. After a long day, the feeling of her lips on mine was more than welcome.

Suddenly, the sound of a soaring object and it setting off forced our eyes open and onto the scene. Our mouths both dropped and our eyes widened at the fantastical display before us. Dozens of fireworks were being set off at once and were exploding in a wide array of beautiful colors. Magically enhanced fireworks or not, it was something I had never seen before.

"That's amazing." I gasped.

"Gets me every year." added Cadance.

For a continuous minute, the two of us remained silent as we watched the fireworks display, the sound of them setting off and the cheers from the Equestrians down there drowning out the scene.

Finally, we raised our voices to each other, and I mean really raised since the whole scene was pretty loud.

"Great scene, right Lev?" said Cadance, still looking in front of her.

"Totally!" I exclaimed. "So was I good today?"

Cadance looked back at me. "I'd say you handled yourself pretty well. You really seemed to get along well with the people I introduced you to."

"Well, it's way easier to get along when they don't want to destroy our relationship for silly elitist reasons." I defended.

"So I take it that you enjoyed your day?" checked Cadance.

"Way better than yesterday if that's what you're asking." I replied.

"That's good to hear. I really think this will bring our two countries closer." remarked Cadance, her body further onto me.

"I hope so to," I replied, rocking my hands up and down her body. "So do you know what we're going to be doing tomorrow?"

"We'll be taking it a lot easier," noted Cadance. "But it will be a lot colder tomorrow."

"Ah, I'm from Arstrotzka, I can handle the cold." I bragged.

"I'm sure you can, because next time, we'll be in your place." winked Cadance.

We kissed one more time and went back to gazing at the magnificent scene before us.

The People's Republic Part 1

I woke up with a jolt, breathing heavily from my mouth before getting a hold of myself. I looked around at my surroundings, reminding myself that I was still on a train to Arstrotzka. I might have only been asleep for a few hours, but I couldn't help but notice that the train was getting cramped with people, which made sense since we had likely stopped by the Arstrotzkan capital Moscolt.

"Are you okay Levy?" asked Cadance, holding my arm for comfort.

"Yeah, I'm fine kitten," I assured her, keeping my voice low. "Just a bad dream, is all."

Cadance looked concerned. "What bad dream?"

I bit my lip, knowing Cadance wouldn't leave me alone until I told her.

A few months had passed since I visited Canterlot for the first time and while Cadance and I kept in touch, she had yet to visit Arstrotzka and meet my friends and family. We decided to wait until early summer, so the Arstrotzkan winter would die down, but not to the point where it was blazing hot.

While I did feel confident bringing Cadance to Arstrotzka, specifically my home city of Hoovograd, there was still a little bit of doubt that something would go terribly wrong since she was a Princess from another country.

I took a deep breath and told her. "I was just thinking about what could happen if we got arrested or worse here."

"Why's that? You said that the higher ups were fine with us dating?" pointed Cadance.

"Yeah, but...I get this feeling that someone isn't gonna approve of us and draw a gun or that the secret police have set a trap for us. I mean, they haven't done that to people other than those who really deserve it, but I just hope that the other hardliners like me aren't thinking about brutalizing us." I explained.

Cadance grabbed my hand like she always did to assure me. "Come on now. If your government didn't want you with me, you would have been dead a long time ago."

I smirked. "Yeah, that's actually reassuring."

"Besides, I'm sure attacking a foreign ruler would look bad for you guys anyway and would get in the way of your country's goal of ending an royal alicorn bloodline." added Cadance.

"That is also true," I nodded. "But still, you never know what a great power can do to get rid of its enemies. Let's just say the Commissars and Secret Police have likely made deaths look like accidents at times. They could pull that off you know."

Cadance chuckled. "And if the worst case scenario happens, what do we do?"

I placed my other finger on my chin. "We get out of this train and escape into the Arstrotzkan wilderness to live as lovers in exile until our inevitable death via an artillery or rocket strike or by a commando or secret police raid."

"And how long would inevitable be?" asked Cadance.

"An hour or so until they'd track us." I said.

We both laughed at that unlikely event for some reason. I guess a lot of it had to do with the disbelief that a political officer from Arstrotzka and a Princess from Equestria were in the midst of the People's Republic.

Just then, we got a glimpse of a few Arstrotzkan border guards entering our side of the train past the door. Most attention turned towards them. The border guards looked similar to their soldier counterparts, ski mask, goggles, helmet and green fatigues and all, but didn't even seem to be armed. They didn't pay us much attention however, and simply moved past us to the next section of the train. One did shoot us a glance and a nod however. Either the border guard had known who we were, or was congratulating a couple.

Cadance had noticed that one of the border guards was carrying computer screen with faces on us as he passed by.

"I'm guessing that's normal?" checked Cadance.

"Sorta. The border guards just track trains to make sure there are no suspicious individuals on board. I've only seen an arrest happen one or two times." I explained.

"Suspicious huh? Okay, Mr. Political officer, are there any other potential dangers for us?" inquired Cadance semi seriously.

"Well, there's the mafia and private military collectives that we're cracking down on, but you'd have to actively try to get on their bad side before they try to put a hit on you," I noted. "We usually stop them before any killings can occur, and besides, it's not like we're in debt to any shady shit right?"

"I don't know Levy, there may be a side to me you don't know." teased Cadance.

I shook my head with a grin. "Then there's the Tromaneian separatists, Coltechian nationalists and EZIC. They're an anarchist group."

"Oh yeah, weren't the last two the bad guys in that movie we watched together a year back?" checked Cadance.

"Yeah, that incident was one of their biggest uprisings against us, until the heroic border inspector saved us," I said.

"I know Coltechia hates you guys after you intervened in their war against the Maresians and crushed them, but what's EZIC's beef with you guys anyway?" questioned Cadance.

"A few years back during the revolution, there were two strains of revolutionary collectivist thought. One belonged to the revolutionary Vladimare, who advocated forming a new central government headed by loyalist intellectuals while nationalizing strategic industries, which gave rise to the Commissariat and the Collectivist Party. The other belonged to anarcho collectivist Troponkin, who wanted to get rid of the government immediately without nationalizing anything, even if it meant no army in the long run."

"Let me guess, you all fought together bravely against the seven nation imperial armies until ideological difference led to a civil war, which Vladimare's faction won." stated Cadance.

"Correct," I confirmed. "You didn't even study about it did you?"

"No," shook Cadance. "I'm afraid magic and flight class came first. Besides, teaching students about a collectivist civil war wouldn't sit well with the educators, and would even be just an after note compared to the initial revolution."

"You're right on that last part I guess." I shrugged.

"Any magical threats I should know about?" continued Cadance.

"Well, this country is essentially a psychic black hole," I noted. "But there are still gonna be the Changeling infiltrators, ice giants up in the north, and whatever monster crawls out of the woods that we haven't bombed yet. Honestly though, they're just nuisances at this point."

"The last two I can relate with Equestria since some monster terrorizes a city every week or so until they go down in a half hour," chuckled Cadance. "I just hope that we don't run into any Changelings because, well...."

I kissed Cadance on the cheek. "Don't worry kitten, we won't let anything harm you here. That's another worst case scenario."

"And what's our best case scenario besides not dying?" asked Cadance.

"We get to visit my family safe and sound I guess." I smiled.

"I can't wait to see the city of Hoovograd," replied Cadance. "The last time I was in this country, we were in the fortress city of Stalliongrad. Nice and all, but you get used to seeing the military blockades outside the hotel room quickly."

"Hey, we gotta protect the city limits somehow." I laughed.

"Still, I would've liked to see Moscolt," inferred Cadance. "The ride to Hoovograd is really long."

I snorted. "Oh come on, I had to ride all the way to Moscolt to Canterlot just to pick you up without a single break and I'm on the ride back home. It's a miracle I didn't get train sick just for you."

"Oh Lev, you know I appreciate you doing that." teased Cadance.

"Yeah, it doesn't feel like it." I joked.

"Oh, a kiss ain't good enough for you?" replied Cadance.

I stuck my tongue out. "That's just what couples are supposed to do all the time."

"Then have another one if it will shut you up." responded Cadance who then pecked my lips.

We laughed together. I looked back to see the other Arstrotzkan passengers, who were mostly having a conversation with each other or were asleep. There was one girl who had glanced at us embracing, and shot us a thumbs up before going back to her newspaper.

"And for the record," I added. "Moscolt is like Marelin, Manehatten, Shanghay or Ceighro. It's an international city that's sacrificed culture for politics and economics. You'll get a true feeling of Arstrotzkan culture in Hoovograd, which is like our fifth largest city anyway, so there's still plenty to do."

"And family comes first of course." noted Cadance. "I really can't wait to meet your family Levy."

"Neither can they kitten." I assured.

The train finally stopped a few moments after that. Cadance and I headed to the luggage compartment so she could get her things. I already had my stuff ready back at home and didn't really need to bring anything with me other than essentials in my pocket.

We hopped out of the train, attracting a few glances since Cadance's candy colored hair was essentially a fire in the dark, and headed to the check in. There were different lines for Arstrotzkan citizens, immigrants, foreigners without magic, foreigners that could use magic and a single line reserved for security forces and political VIPs.

"Look familiar to you?" I smirked.

Cadance bit her lip. "Yup, this is the whole plot of the Papers Please movie isn't it?"

I laughed. "Don't worry, with computers going mainstream, we've sped up to process. Do you have all your necessary documents?"

"For the dozenth time Levy, yes I do." replied Cadance, in a semi joking and exasperated tone.

"Hey, we in Arstrotzka might believe in an inevitable border-less utopia, but until then, we can't take any chances." I shrugged with a grin.

Cadance rolled her eyes. "Oh, you guys. I'm guessing this is the part where we're heading to border inspection now?"

"You guessed it kitten!" I exclaimed. "And since you're a Princess from Equestria, we get to go to the VIP section!"

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "And what benefits does going through a VIP section entail?"

"Absolutely nothing other than a shorter waiting time!" I smiled. "Come on, we'd be terrible collectivists if we did otherwise."

Cadance stifled a laugh and we headed in line. There were only a few soldiers or VIPs in suits up ahead of us in the line.

"I have to say, the scene looks a lot less depressing in the summer." noted Cadance.

"Duh, a lot of things look bleak in winter," I muttered. "That's why it's eternally winter here in enemy propaganda."

We had specifically planned the trip so Cadance would arrive in early summer, when it wasn't the usual freezing cold in our country or particularly hot either. This meant that waiting in line in the open wasn't daunting by a long shot.

The stereotypical image of Arstrotzkans in coats and ushankas didn't apply this time in the summer. People just wore casual outfits that were a little more formal that what could have been seen in an Equestrian city like Manehatten, but nowhere near as pompous as what the people of Canterlot wore.

I on the other hand, was stilling wearing my Commissar outfit, sans the cap in my bag, since I had gone directly from work to pick Cadance up on the train once my holiday started. Cadance on the other hand, wore a (you guessed it) pink collar shirt that she didn't really want to button up and some knee high denim shorts.

Despite dressing like a normal civilian however, the feeling of her powerful magic abilities and her multi colored hair still made her stick out even for those unlikely few that didn't know who she was. There were some glares of suspicion directed towards her and I, mostly from border guards.

The guy in front of us turned around and his eyes widened upon seeing us.

"Chort!" he swore in Arstrotzkan before switching to Equestrian. "Are you Princess Cadance?"

Cadance smiled. "Why yes I am!"

"Hoovograd party representative Dmitri Tarkov," he greeted. "Well, never thought I'd see a royal visit this part of the country, but I was informed of your arrival before I left Moscolt."

"Well, it is the home of my boyfriend!" exclaimed Cadance who grabbed my hand.

"And you're obviously comrade Lev Ulyanov," pointed Tarkov. "You're the lucky love boy I heard about."

"Yeah," I blushed. "I'm getting famous aren't I?"

"I wouldn't call you a celebrity just yet Lev," said Tarkov. He glanced at the other lines where a few people were still glancing at me and Cadance, but mostly out of amusement. "But most of the people are obviously aware that you are dating a Princess for the greater benefit of both our nations. Don't worry, we have the media under watch not to ruin your time here."

"That's a relief," chuckled Cadance.

"You better not be here to spread some monarchist propaganda though." chided Tarkov half jokingly.

"Wouldn't dream of it," replied Cadance. "My only care is if the people are happy."

"And they are!" stated Tarkov. "The last thing we need is some false propaganda of reaction seeping into the masses that drives this whole place apart."

"Relax comrade!" I stepped in. "She might be a Princess, but that doesn't make her a threat to our collectivist ways. She doesn't have any class interests. Besides, I wouldn't have really considered bringing here without the Collectivist blessing in the first place."

"True true comrade," shrugged Tarkov. "I just don't want a couple to break up because of petty political reasons that could have easily been avoided."

"Thanks, but you have to give her credit." I insisted.

"He's right you know." mused Cadance who pulled me a little closer.

Tarkov shook his head. "Oh, I remember bringing my first date home. Hope you'll enjoy this country and the people's collectivist ways."

"Hey, if Lev can stand my place, then I should be able to stand his." chirped Cadance.

Tarkov grinned. "Eh, you know what? You two can come up ahead in front. There's barely anyone before me anyway."

"Thanks!" I cheered.

Cadance and I took the offer and stepped in front of him, only to be caught off by the bark of a border guard.

"HEY!" he yelled in Arstrotzkan. "Are you cutting in line?"

"Settle down comrade!" yelled Tarkov. "I let them pass me, I swear!"

The bark caught the attention of the people in the other lines. A huge part of me began to start sweating because the last thing I needed right now was for the Arstrotzkans to think Cadance was a pompous trouble maker and brat.

The border guard was clutching a carbine rifle, fit for someone who had to be mobile and deal with trouble makers up close, but thankfully he didn't seem to be ready to lift it up just yet.

He squinted at Cadance and I with his piercing black eyes behind his balaclava and goggles. "Sorry, but taking someone else's place in line is against the rules and can screw everything up. A political officer and a princess don't get special privileges."

I raised my hands up. "We wouldn't dream of it! I thought we were just taking a friendly offer."

The border guard calmed down. "Fine, I understand. I just hope you two have your papers ready because I'd hate to arrest a foreign Princess and her boyfriend on a casual visit."

Cadance smiled like it was nothing. "Oh don't worry. I know how you guys run things and Lev gave me multiple practice trials."

"Good choice in boyfriend," nodded the border guard. "Maybe we won't have any drama today after all."

"Too late for that," whispered Cadance to me, causing me to snicker.

"Anyway," said the border guard to Tarkov. "I would advice against letting an Alicorn in front of you considering the amount of documents she has to fill out."

Tarkov lifted his hands up in innocence as the guard walked away.

"Wow," muttered Cadance. "I know Arstrotzka's border guards were powerful, but this is just ridiculous."

"Tell me about it," I replied. "These guys could probably hold the nation hostage if they wanted to if they weren't hard line collectivists."

A few more minutes passed by and we finally got our turn inside the processing VIP room. The inside was just like all other processing rooms with wooden walls and floors, a rug in the center to wipe snow off our boots in the winter, and a few chairs just in case. What stood out was the processing desk separated from the civilian area by a bullet proof window.

Guarding the exit was a border guard with a shotgun. His piercing eyes through his goggles paid me no mind, and were squarely focused on Cadance. A small screen that was tied to a security camera tracking signs of a Changeling disguise was right next to him. Thankfully for us, there weren't any negative readings.

The Minister Of Admissions Inspector wore a Commissar uniform like me, except he kept his cap on and his badge was different. Like most bureaucrats, he seemed to be middle aged as opposed to the younger Commissars that made up representatives and leaders. Whereas the younger generation brought in new ideas and life to govern the country, the older generation had the experience to make bureaucracies run faster.

"Papers please!" barked the Inspector in accented Equestrian, whose name tag read Victor Andropov.

I took a deep breath and did what I always did. In the small opening behind the glass window, I submitted my passport, my ID, my travel documents and my Commissariat membership card.

Inspector Andropov checked through the documents at a lightning pace, a sign that he had done this hundreds, if not, thousands of times, and quickly scanned everything via a computer. I thanked whoever thought of that invention, because I remember standing in line for nearly hours at times to get through.

Andropov handed me back my things which I placed back in a backpack sans the cards I needed in my wallet.

Cadance stepped forward for her turn. Before she did anything, Andropov hastily pointed towards a sign that read in multiple languages 'All documents must be physically present. No digital or magical substitutes.'

"Comrade Inspector," I interjected. "She has everything present with her. I walked through this."

"Do not interrupt comrade Ulyanov!" responded Andropov. "We already know she will take a while to process. Lucky for us, we won't have another train arrive today, so we have until closing time."

"Ye-yes comrade." I stuttered.

I wish I didn't hesitate at that moment in front of Cadance, but I couldn't help it given how intimidating border inspectors were especially after EZIC's latest attempt at an uprising. Cadance herself seemed to have been at least slightly intimated herself, as her usual aura of confidence wasn't exactly up.

Cadance handed in the same documents I did to the inspector. I noticed that he took a longer time to check her documents, evidently paying more attention for a discrepancy. It didn't take a genius to know that he was going to be less trustful of Cadance given her background, albeit for class and not racial reasons. He wouldn't have made it far in life if he held prejudices in this country.

Given the absurd power of the ministry of admissions, I guess he was either trying to avoid a scandal if he let Cadance in with a discrepancy or felt that ordering her out would satisfy his ego.

Amid all this, I grabbed Cadance's hand as we nervously watched Andropov check Cadance's documents. The tension in this room was pretty damn tense.

Andropov submitted Cadance's documents to a computer for scanning and to check if they had been magically tempered with. That last part came in thanks to a cooperation between Germane scientists and Arstrotzkan engineers. With things like Changelings or warlocks disguised with a transformation being an issue at the border, we needed everything we could to root out those using magic to bypass our systems.

Once that was taken care of, Cadance had to hand over her travel visa and permit to enter the country, all of which was taken care of without haste. Then, the interesting parts kicked in.

Since Cadance was technically a politician due to being a royal, she needed proof of her diplomatic status. In my back pack, we reached for a years old document containing the decree that declared Cadance an Alicorn Princess of Equestria. It was written with a feathered pen on an old parchment document, which by Arstrotzkan standards was hundreds of years old.

Andropov frowned at the old document, but merely shook his head and continued his job. Since Celestia and other nobles or royals had visited this country dozens of times, their declarations were already within our database. Sure enough, upon scanning the document, no malpractice or magical interference was detected.

Andropov handed back the parchment and spoke up once more. "Okay, you are an alicorn, we just need proof of your abilities and status."

I raised an eyebrow. "Comrade, I don't think anyone can exactly fake being Princess Cadance."

"Don't argue with procedure," muttered Andropov. "Cadance, please show us your wings which you should be able to spawn."

Cadance took a deep breath and nodded, not wanting to get on Inspector Andropov's bad side. I stepped behind her so that I wouldn't get flicked by her wings once she brought them up.

After a small pause, two pink wings materialized from her back which slightly startled the Arstrotzkans in the room. The Inspector nodded and jotted down that Cadance indeed had Pegasai blood.

"Retract them please." ordered Andropov, to which Cadance complied.

Andropov looked back up at her again. "Okay, now to prove that you have unicorn blood also, please use a simple levitation spell on this one tiny pen here and lift it up gently. Do not....again...DO NOT, use any other spell or lift the pen more than 10 centimeters off the air, or else there will be some major consequences."

Cadance and I glanced to to our side to see the Arstrotzkan border guard squinting at us, his finger hovering the near the trigger of his shotgun, as if he expected Cadance to just start blowing up the place with spells.

Cadance gulped, evidently nervous, and lifted her hand. Her hand began to glow an ethereal color that soon spawned over the pen. The pen was picked up by her telekinetic force and was gently levitating just above Andropov's desk.

Andropov hastily snatched the pen and jotted down on Cadance's documents.

"All right then," he nodded. "Since you are obviously the real deal and not an imposer, we just need to know about the full extent of your magical capabilities. Our secret police do have a file on you, but we better be safe than sorry as you know yourself better than anyone else."

Andropov slipped a paper that all foreigners with magical abilities had to complete, which required the applicant to list out all their magical capabilities.

"Can I help her through this?" I asked.

"By all means." granted Andropov.

Cadance and I glanced at the document.

The first question required her to outline what type of magic she could use. There was a box for pegasai, unicorns, earth types, Halyexandrian elemental magic users, tribal magic users etc.

Finally there was a final box to select that read alicorn, that stated one should not tick it unless they were Kaiser Kreig of Germaney or Princesses Celestia and Cadance of Equestria. Since Cadance was right here, she merely checked the box.

Next she had to check a box that asked her about the level of her magic proficiency. Level 1 for instance would be someone untrained, level 2 would be an unicorn with only the average telekinetic ability (or an Equestrian royal guard because they might as well would have been the same) while levels 3, 4, and 5 were for Halyexandrians or Germane soldiers with varying levels of training or really talented scholars.

Level 6 was reserved for alicorns, which Cadance once again checked. She then had to fill out boxes regarding how long she had been studying magic, how long she had her powers, where she learned them and so on.

Next came up a box that mad her mouth drop.

"Do I have to list every spell I know right here?" blurted Cadance.

Andropov merely nodded.

"Let's get writing then," I muttered. "You obviously know telekinesis."

Cadance jotted that down. "And not to mention every love related spell. I'm also pretty well trained in barrier magic."

"Can't forget any of those energy blasts you were taught." I pointed.

"Eh, I mostly learned defensive magic. Last thing I need is for me to go bad and use my powers for evil." joked Cadance, whose grin quickly dropped upon starring back at Andropov.

Cadance and I took a few minutes to list out everything she knew, which almost ended up filling the entire damn box. Once that was taken out of the way, we handed the papers back to Andropov. Andropov took a look at Cadance's forum and opened a Ministry Of Admissions book on what spells were forbidden in this country. After a few minutes of reading, Andropov took out a highlighter and marked some magic Cadance couldn't use in pink.

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "So, I guess all of my love magic is out of the question?"

Andropov sighed. "While I am aware love magic doesn't always create artificial love and may just be a rekindling of existing feelings, we still cannot have you interfere with people's personal lives like that. Not only would we have to send in the secret police to deport you for that, but you wouldn't want any accusations that you brainwashed comrade Lev into loving you with a spell right?"

Cadance formed a nervous smile. "Funny you say that, because some Equestrians back home think I did that to Lev since they can't comprehend that a Commissar would want to date me."

"And let's prove them wrong, shall we?" questioned Andropov.

"Right," nodded Cadance.

"Just one more question from you if I may ask," requested Andropov. "Do you, by any chance, attract some sort of negative forces on a routinely basis?"

"I beg your pardon?" replied Cadance.

"You know," shrugged Andropov. "Something awfully strange happens to Equestria every week that's resolved in 30 minutes or so whereas some bloke tries to mess with the border guards or check ins at roughly the same pace. We tend to resolve that with a bullet, a tranquilizer or an arrest. Some people however, tend to bring with them a little extra ounces of drama."

Cadance placed a finger on her lips as she thought. "Hmmm, well my aunt does joke that the fate of Equestria has hung in the balance during my visits with someone beloved."

Andropov quickly jotted that down. "So let's see. If we combine the results for that statement, plus the strange stuff that happens to us and your country every week.....um....there's gonna be a terrorist attack in a few seconds by my calculations."

"Oh come on! We just got here!" I yelled. The last thing I needed was for Cadance's first day in Arstrotzka to be greeted with a terrorist attack. I thought about everything that could go wrong with that, especially if it resulted in Cadance deciding that dating me wasn't worth it,

Andropov got out a tranquilizer pistol. "I'll have to alert guards. You two just watch for any suspicious looking people on your way out."

Cadance looked outside the doorway. "Would oddly shaped vests count as suspicious?"

"Yes, why?" asked Andropov.

"FOR COLTECHIA!!!" yelled a voice outside that belonged to a man running straight at the check in zones.

Right before the Coltechian terrorist could set off his explosives, a pink bubble suddenly materialized around the bomb in his vest. Stunned by the sudden use of magic, the Coltechian watched as the bubbled explosive was pried away from his body and detonated within the bubble.

While the explosion was generally contained, there was enough of force to completely smash the barrier bubble and shock wave the Coltechian flying back.

Immediately, two Arstrotzkan border guards swarmed in on the terrorist, pointing guns down at his stunned body. The Coltechian shot up his hands as he was picked up and cuffed.

"Well, it's off to the gulag with you!" scolded a border guard.

"You were lucky that alicorn intervened or else we would have shot you dead the second after." added the other border guard.

Cadance and I watched as the Coltechian terrorist gritted in anger as he was taken away. Forced labor was going to be defining his life for a long ass time.

Cadance turned back to Andropov and smiled sheepishly.

"I'm impressed," nodded Andropov. "First day in here and you're already a hero. I don't think we were in any true danger since we've done this before, but at least you spared us a bullet."

"Uh, no problem." nervously chuckled Cadance.

"I tell you, that bubble barrier magic could be a pretty effective defensive spell. The bomb squads and missile defense units would love it!" pointed Andropov.

"True, but there's my spell and then there's facing hundreds of high yield explosives at once." replied Cadance.

"Ah, that's true." noted Andropov.

"So do Coltechians do this every week or so?" inquired Cadance.

"Coltechian terrorists Cadance. Coltechian terrorists." inferred Andropov. "Stereotyping people is racist and looked down upon here."

"Right right, I wasn't trying to make an offense." apologized Cadance.

"Anyway, I think I know what's going to be in tomorrow's headline in the The Truth Of Arstrotzka," said Andropov. "Good thing we didn't have any more arriving trains or else that would have been a massive inconvenience. You two are free to head into Hoovograd now."

Without saying anything, Cadance and I grabbed a hold of our things and progressed to the other side of the station while the guards and officers did a check up on the area.

The main road was right in front of us and we could see the outskirts of the city and the Pon river. There were quite a few cafes and a booth to hire a taxi cab at the exit, but I had things worked out in advance.

Finally, Cadance broke the silence. "Well, that was something."

"Tell me about it kitten," I said bitterly. "Arriving and departing in and out of places in Arstrotzka is just way more dramatic than it should be."

"Are you okay Levy?" asked Cadance.

"Honestly," I muttered, not bothering to hide my feelings. "Out of all the things that could have gone wrong, we just had to have had an attack on the border at this day! Seriously...I...I just don't blame you if you want to turn back right now."

Cadance smiled reassuringly. "Hey, it might have been a little tense, but it's not like Equestria is problem free."

"Sure, but that was a terrible first impression you had right there!" I pointed.

"Well, your first impression of Equestria wasn't that great either now wasn't it?" noted Cadance.

I bit my lip. "Yeah, but a few snobs aren't exactly comparable to a suicide bombing."

"Eh, you just happened to arrive after the latest giant monster attack and before the next dark wizard tried to turn everything to Tartarus." pointed Cadance.

"So, you're not gonna turn back?" I said dryly.

"I can't exactly turn back with train service out of Hoovograd now being cancelled can I?" joked Cadance. "Seriously though, I came here to see your family and what your whole life back home is. Nothing is going to change that."

She walked up to me and kissed me. "Even if I'm not impressed by this place, that's not going to mean squat in my decision to be with you."

"Thanks kitten." I grinned, now feeling better.

"Besides," continued Cadance, hugging me closer and pressing her full bosom on my chest through her shirt. "I doubt anything will happen to us while it's in your country's interest to keep us alive and in love. You did after all say that the beautiful ones tend to get off just fine in Arstrotzka right?"

"There's that too." I nodded nervously as Cadance kissed me with her breasts smashing my chest.

We continued on to the section where government issued taxis were ready to drive people into the depths of the city. In front of one certain car was a middle aged man wearing a tracksuit with an athletic build and graying hair. He looked like he was lost in thought until he laid eyes on us and smiled with relief.

He approached Cadance and I with his arm stretched out. "Ah! Good to see you two in one piece! I thought you two were goners when I heard that explosion."

"Good to see you comrade Rupenian!" I cheered as I hugged him back, nearly having my upper body explode given how muscular he was.

Rupenian turned towards Cadance and smiled widely. "And you must be Princess Cadance. You might be a royal, but it's an honor to have you here in Arstrotzka."

"It's nice to meet you too!" beamed Cadance, who hugged him back. In a twist of turns, now Rupenian looked like he was the one struggling. I guess Cadance was overcompensating with her super strength.

"Cadance this is Rupenian," I introduced. "He's been driving me around the city for as long as I can remember."

"Seriously!" interjected Rupenian. "What was happening there?"

I sighed. "Another Coltechian terrorist suicide bombing."

Rupenian squinted his eyes. "Bastard nationalists. Was anyone hurt badly?"

"Not at all!" I gladly shook. "Luckily for us, Cadance managed to bubble the guy's explosives before he had the chance to detonate them. He was taken away by some guards off to the nearest gulag."

"A fine fate for a scoundrel like that," nodded Rupenian, who later turned towards Cadance. "And look at you! Not even here for a whole day and you're already material for Hero Of Arstrotzka. Make us proud."

Cadance giggled and twirled her hair. "It's...it's the least I could do."

Rupenian clasped his hands together. "So, are we heading into the city or what? I'm sure your parents are waiting Lev."

"Actually," I replied. "My parents are still out of town and won't arrive until a few hours before dinner. Since my brother is just home, I figured I'd show Cadance around the city by foot before we got to our apartment."

Rupenian raised an eyebrow. "So why get a taxi?"

I smiled sheepishly. "Um, we were just wondering if you could drop off our luggage back at home? You can call my brother and he'll come down to pick it up."

Rupenian spat. "Oh, using me huh?"

Cadance and I tensed, until Rupenian started laughing like a maniac.

"Just kidding! Of course I would help you out. Just put your things in the trunk!" said Rupenian.

With a sigh of relief, Cadance and I got a hold of our things and placed them in the trunk after Rupenian started his car.

Before he left, he opened his taxi's window and called out to us. "Good luck you two! If you need anything, I'm always a call away!"

"Of course comrade!" I beamed as Rupenian drove off.

Cadance clasped her arm around mine. "So Mr. Commissar, care to show a Princess around?"

I smirked. "It would be mine and the People's Republic's honor!"

BONUS Intermission 2: New Year

Author's Note

So this is the second part of the holiday themed intermission of Princess Of Love, and the third Holiday themed sex "fic" overall. Since it's Valentine's week, this will be a sort of two in one. After this, the main story should resume. If you wanna figure out what Celestia was doing at this time, PM (wink wink NSFW)

BONUS Intermission 2: New Year

The train arrived in Moscolt without any sort of delay. We had planned the trip so that Cadance and I could spend a good 8-9 hours of sleep on the train and wake up only a half hour before reaching the station.

There wasn't any drama after Hearth's Warming Eve. The major events were the two of us having lunch with other people mostly connected to charities who couldn't have given less of a damn of where I was from. Anyone who probably did have a bone to pick with me kept their mouth shut either out of respect for their Princess Cadance or a visit from the Arstrotzkan secret police on "racial tolerance".

Now that had been gotten over with, we would proceed with our usual trip back to Arstrotzka to celebrate new year's day. If Equestria put any nation to shame when it came to celebrating Hearth's Warming Eve, Arstrotzka took the cake on New Year's day.

Many Arstrotzkan regions had their own holidays they held dearly, but the New Year was universal and inoffensive to anyone. It was the perfect time for everyone to get on their holiday cheer.

This time however, was a pretty damn special occasion. Now that my girlfriend was going to be the official ambassador of Arstrotzka, we were going to be seeing each other a whole lot more. There was practically nothing that could make me after hearing that spectacular news.

Cadance looked outside the window, captivated one more by the scene of Moscolt. The city was our capital and quite obviously our largest. Like all capitals of the great powers, Moscolt was constructed in the so-called "International Style". The massive amounts of finance buildings and concentrations of other ethnic groups from the great powers meant that the city would grow larger and larger via glassy skyscrapers and towers that symbolized the future and global unity. Of course, there was still the old town that had the traditional realist baroque.

The closest thing Equestria had to this was the city of Manehatten, which by all means was pretty large, but the 4 great power megacities of Moscolt, Marelin, Shanghay and Neighro were more than even triple the size. Not to mention, Cadance didn't exactly spend most of her time in Manehatten, so it was always cute seeing her reactions to the city.

She turned back to face me. "Read that there won't be any snow or rain this New Year's eve. We should be able to do everything fine."

"Let's hope at least." I shrugged.

"Well, if you all could control the weather like us Equestrians could, there wouldn't be any room for doubts." joked Cadance.

"Who needs weather control when you have a girlfriend that will use her magic to ensure her boyfriend has a good time?" I retorted.

"Come on Lev, we've been over this." pouted Cadance jokingly.

"Oh fine, kitten." I groaned back playfully.

The two of us laughed and kissed, the train's speakers announcing we were approaching the station.

"So by the time we get back, we should have more than enough time to change." I noted.

"That's a given," remarked Cadance. "What we really have to do is make sure I get all my stuff moved in."

"Right." I sighed.

When Cadance visited Arstrotzka, she normally visited and stayed with my family in the fairly large, but not enormously cosmopolitan, city of Hoovograd. When we visited Moscolt, she'd book a fancy hotel for the two of us to stay in which we would fuck around with while we enjoyed our vacation with each other.

As Cadance's move to Moscolt was more or less permanent at this point, she needed a proper home. Despite the cries and insistence of some of her friends and aunt, she opted to live with me in my apartment. It was a pretty good decision if you asked me. It would have been a little too much for Collectivist Arstrotzkans to take in a Princess ambassador living in some fancy mansion in their People's Republic.

My apartment had also been upgraded to be one of the higher end ones anyway, owing in no small part due to savings via frugality except for special occasions. There wasn't really a massive drive for me to consume everything.

And yet, I couldn't help but ask.

"So you're sure you'll be fine living in my apartment?" I asked Cadance.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" asked Cadance.

"Because, well uh, it ain't exactly going to be as fancy as the Castle you live in." I noted.

"Come on Lev, surely you know that I'm not some vain snob when it comes to where I live in. I can adapt." reminded Cadance.

"Sure sure," I chuckled. "Just don't go missing your old home too much."

"Pfft," snorted Cadance. "My home isn't what matters, it's just having you around that counts."

"Thanks, kitten." I smiled.

Cadance raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Besides, if I can handle living with your family during out summers in Hoovograd, then it should be easy just dealing with you."

"I'll take that as a compliment," I muttered. "And any new word on the embassy? Forgot to ask."

"A week after New Year's day, the final preparations for the whole thing will be set up. The day after that is when they want us to check it out." told Cadance.

"Can't wait to see it," I beamed. "It's only a few subway rides from home and the Germane embassy anyway."

"Yep. So you don't have an excuse not visiting me everyday." smirked Cadance.

"Oh kitten, you know I wouldn't dream of not seeing your wonderful beautiful self." I mused poetically in a camp tone.

Our train finally came to a stop and passengers began getting off. Cadance and I put on our winter clothes and backpacks that we needed for the visit to Moscolt.

We stepped out of the train, a few passengers asking us about our noteworthy relationship all the while and headed for the massive luggage compartment where everyone was scrambling for their things.

As Cadance preferred the color pink, like how any Equestrian seemed to be fascinated with a certain absurdity, her suitcases stood out nicely. Cadance first used magic to take out the suitcases, enveloping her belongings in an ethereal glow to bring them to her via telekinesis.

A few looks were shot at her, not out of scorn, but out of bewilderment.

I tapped on Cadance's shoulder. "Um, kitten. I think it sets a better example for morale if we were to carry those things manually."

Cadance widened her eyes before nodding her head in agreement. "Alright then, I have super strength anyway."

I grabbed a hold of two of Cadance's suitcases and she grabbed the other two. It definitely was quite a bit to carry since we were only two people, but I was at least sure that Cadance chose to carry the heavier stuff.

Near us were quite a few other Equestrians that were going to be Cadance's fellow embassy workers. They had been specifically chosen after intense background checks by the Arstrotzkan government to ensure that they wouldn't hold any anti-Collectivist sympathies and actually make an effort in living in their new stations.

Like Cadance, the Equestrian embassy workers were rather captivated by Moscolt and seemed to be enjoying everything, the cold clearly being the only thing that kept slightly uncomfortable.

Given our backgrounds, we were all waiting in the line reserved for diplomats and other dignitaries or officers. We didn't have to wait too long in line as only a few Arstrotzkan commissars were ahead of us. When we headed inside, we filled out all the necessary paperwork in a quick and timely fashion, so as not to keep others waiting too long.

The inspector in charge took a look at our paperwork and stamped everything with approval. There was no way that Cadance and I would let any discrepancy get through on this wonderful day. It would suck to get interrogated after so long.

Just as when we thought we were in the clear, the inspector flicked up his pencil and pointed to a back room.

"You two are inspected inside there! Leave your bags at the front of the door!" he barked.

My heart raced after he pointed to, what else, the room where they used to interrogate people. I grabbed Cadance's hand, who didn't look as nervous as I was but seemed to have a grasp on the situation.

I took a deep breath, saying something was not wise in situations like this before your interrogation and made my forward to the interrogation room with Cadance by my side.

Just as I expected the worst, my jaw dropped as to who the supposed interrogator really was. Standing behind a 4 personal bodyguard team was none other than Secretary General of the Collectivist party Stepan Sevag Bagramyan.

Bagramyan stood at an impressive height, perhaps only an inch shorter than Cadance and I, and had some rather dashing features. His black hair line was well maintained, his young gaze was haughty yet calming and just by looking at the outline of his body that was hugged tightly by his Commissar suit, you can tell he took good care of himself. He was a Secretary General easy on the eyes, a great help to the charisma that won him his position.

I gulped and nervously shot my left fist up in the clenched fist of solidarity. "Comrade Secretary General Bagramyan! It is an honor!"

"No need to worry Comrade Ulyanov," assured Bagramyan with his soothing East Armaneian Arstrotzkan accent, which he surely had given his roots from the city of Mareinakan. "And it's good to see you your Highness Cadance."

Cadance took a breath of relief. "Nice to see you too Secretary General Bagramyan."

Bagramyan and Cadance shook their gloved hands, and for once there was no one to cry scandal at the fact that no one was bowing to Cadance. I shook Bagramyan's hand a little too wildly, but thankfully he seemed to find it amusing rather than a grievance.

"Please, sit you two." he offered.

"Da tovarisch." I nodded as I quickly sat down on one of the interrogation chairs, as Cadance and Bagramyan did the same.

Cadance still looked a little perplexed. "If I don't mind asking, what are we being interrogated for?"

"I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO IT!" I pleaded. "I've been a good politically correct comrade my whole life!"

"Easy there Tovarisch Ulyanov," laughed Bagramyan. "If you two were convicted of something the secret police would have taken care of you two by now."

"Right. Right..." I sighed in relief.

Still, the presence of Bagramyan's security detail was a little intimidating. The special forces assigned to him were rather tall, generally well built (for Arstrotzkan standards), had rather glaring riot shield helmets with a pitch black balaclava underneath and looked like their submachine guns were literally glued onto their hands.

Cadance wasn't as phased as me in this scenario, but she had a better chance of surviving than me in the event shit went down.

"Just to be clear," announced Bagramyan. "You two are not here because of any sort of infraction with the motherland. In fact, I'm rather surprised that Comrade Ulyanov's relationship with a monarch has not relieved him of his Collectivist loyalties. That would be a worrying scenario for us, but it hasn't happened."

"I'm not foolish enough to start a war." joked Cadance.

"Indeed you're not," smiled Bagramyan. "You picked a wonderful person Lev."

"Thank you, Comrade Secretary General." I beamed. Having the Secretary General praise your relationship was always a good sign.

"So the real reason why I am here has to do with the obvious fact of the opening of the Equestrian embassy." noted Bagramyan.

"Yes, it's to completed soon, is it not?" checked Cadance.

"Indeed," nodded Bagramyan. "It's actually amazing. Before the rise of the 4 great powers, Equestria saw itself as the world leader for hundreds of years. And yet, we never bothered opening an embassy for Equestira here despite all the treaties we've signed."

"Well, I can probably count the amount of Equestrians here by one hand only." laughed Cadance, which Bagramyan and I did too.

"That is true of course," chuckled Bagramyan. "It seems all of our attempts at diplomacy involved us coming to you, especially with the few dozen workers we have in your local offices."

Bagramyan turned to me. "But thanks to your's and comrade Ulyanov's relationship, this is about to change."

"Tell me about it," remarked Cadance. "We've got quite a few more cooperative works going on in the arctic and I heard quite a few Pegsai and Earth People are working as climate and farming consultants."

"You're not wrong," confirmed Bagramyan. "It's amazing when one considers that it was generally just the Germanes and Halyexandrians we'd ask for such a task. Unfortunately, our coming expansions beyond the Hayral mountains need more magical support, so that requires some diversion of our Great Power forces and the need for Equestrians to fill in the blank."

"Glad that we can be of help." nodded Cadance.

"And you will all be of greater help once this embassy opens," continued Bagramyan. "The embassy will be open the week after the New Year's holiday, so should all have plenty of time to enjoy each other's company."

Bagramyan winked at us. "Which I'm sure sure you both so closely and intimately."

Cadance and I gave out nervous laughs.

"Do you have any plans for New Year Secretary General?" asked Cadance.

"Nothing besides the usual." shrugged Bagramyan. "I'll be in Commissariat celebrating with the rest of the senior members of the government and collectivist party, wishing for another productive year."

"And I'll be sure that happens with my job here." noted Cadance.

"I don't doubt you will," chuckled Bagramyan. "It's amazing, though, you and Comrade Lev got together under the previous administration but it was under my representation of Arstrotzka that this embassy was built. At least I'll have one claim to fame."

Cadance kissed me on the cheek, which thankfully didn't faze anyone. "Just another good reason for the two of us to be in love then."

Bagramyan grinned at me. "You must be rather excited to have Princess Cadance work next to you, isn't that right Comrade Ulyanov."

I nodded. "Da tovarisch, I mean, er, it's really great to not have to take long train rides just to see her."

"Well, that is a sign of a devoted lover, which means you did choose someone faithful Cadance." remarked Bagramyan.

Cadance and I looked at each other and blushed, warm feelings in each of us.

Bagramyan leaned forward. "But you still work in the Germane embassy, don't you? Still a metro ride away from the Equestrian embassy?"

"It's not an issue at all." I shook.

Bagramyan rolled his eyes and smiled like he was hiding a secret. "Well, I have some bad news for you. You won't be working in the Germane embassy anymore."

My eyes widened and I almost shot out of my seat until Bagramyan launched his finger forward.

"Because you will now be working with Princess Cadance in the Equestrian embassy. Side by side. Everyday. No delay." explained Bagramyan with a smirk.

My eyes remained widened, but this time not out of a regular old shock, but on of joy. Even Cadance's mouth dropped.

"W-w-wait a minute. You mean, I am going to work with C-Cadance, m-my girlfriend, in the new embassy?" I stuttered.

"Exactly." nodded Bagramyan.

Cadance clasped her hands together and smiled wide. "Lev! This is amazing."

Two of us cried out in delight and gave each other a hug while Bagramyan laughed loud like a clown. Even his security detail seemed to be silently laughing under their masks.

"Thank you! Thank you!" beamed Cadance. "This means so much to us!"

"H-how did you get me this job? I didn't event apply for it." I said in confusion.

"We needed an assistant for Cadance, and therefore someone who knew her well would be the ideal choice." explained Bagramyan.

"This isn't just because we're dating right?" I frowned. "I-I-I can't accept something out of nepotism."

"On the contrary Tovarisch," replied Bagramyan. "The fact that you remain loyal to us despite your own personal loyalties to your monarch girlfriend is proof enough that you are competent for this job. Besides, you probably have enough insider information on Equestria anyway, so consider this job an order."

I gulped and smiled wide. "Thank you Comrade Secretary General! This means a lot."

"I'm sure it does." stated Bagramyan, who extended his hand to me which I gladly shook.

Bagramyan then extended his hand to Cadance. "And to a new era."

"To a new era." repeated Cadance delightfully as she and Bagramyan shook hands.

Cadance raised an eyebrow as she retracted her arm. "By any chance, did you come here just to tell Lev personally that he would be working with me in my new embassy?"

Bagramyan let out a haughty scoff. "Why of course! As Lev demonstrated earlier, being assigned such a position could easily be confused for nepotism which any good Arstrotzkan comrade worker would resist. A direct order from me is convincing."

There was a pause before Bagramyan sighed and spoke again.

"That, and today is incredibly boring," he groaned. "Seriously, the weird 30-minute event of the week passed by in Maremansk and was just a cult of Ice Wizards that were easily put down by aerial fire bombs and a mechanized assault. I figured I might as well have stopped by to see Princess Cadance and her boyfriend with all my other paperwork done."

"Eh, I know how that feels." chuckled Cadance.

I sat up, proud of my new position. "I shall not disappoint you Comrade Secretary General!"

Bagramyan smiled haughtily. "It is not me you should be concerned about Comrade Lev, but rather the good comrades of the Arstrotzkan People's Republic and the Equestrian people you are now working with."

Cadance placed a finger on her chin with a little snark on her face. "Even the Equestrian people that are nobles and bourgeois?"

Bagramyan thought about it for a good a second.

"No."

We finally approached the outside of the apartment building I was staying in. It was rather tall, about 24 floors, even though that was minuscule compared to the massive skyscrapers in the downtown of Moscolt. Unlike the building my family in Hoovograd stayed in though, this building was not in the baroque realist style, but rather a glassy building reflecting the post-modernist internationalist character of Moscolt like the other 3 great power capitals. I didn't truly care for that part though, as it probably felt less ideologically imposing on Cadance.

I turned towards her with a sheepish grin as she was looking up and down the building.

"Um," I muttered. "So what do you think?"

"It looks nice," chirped Cadance. "Why wouldn't I like it?"

"It ain't a fancy mansion or castle. Just another average Joe's building," I said. "Well, on the higher end of the average Joe's building, but nothing even compared to some of the other stuff in the city and..."

"Lev!" interrupted Cadance. "For the dozenth time, it doesn't matter. I'm not shallow."

"I'm not accusing you of that kitten!" I swore. "It's just that when I stay in your castle, I feel like a fish out of water and I don't want you to feel these things since this is going to be your home for the next few years."

"And I don't care that it is," replied Cadance. "It looks nice and modern, kinda like Manehatten. Well, a little more advanced than Manehatten, but it isn't an issue at all. It's a new experience, and that's what I'm here for."

"Huh," I nervously chuckled. "Surely my boss doesn't find it degrading to be living with her assistant in a random apartment."

Cadance placed her hands on her hips. "My boss huh?"

"Yeah," I jokingly insisted. "What's the deal? I thought we were supposed to be an even team, but now I'm subordinate to a Princess? This is totally oppression I tell you."

"Oh very funny...comrade," replied Cadance with sass. "I thought these things didn't count for government positions."

"You never know," I said with emphasis on the last word.

"Says the one who owns a so called higher end apartment." retorted Cadance.

"Hey hey hey," I replied as I shot my finger up. "I got this through a shit ton of savings and overtime. Besides, you should see the class 3 and 2 apartments some of the generals, scientists and collectivist party heads live in. Now that is what I call opulence, even though they hardly use most of it and actually lease it to squatters a lot."

I mumbled the last few parts while shoving Cadance playfully and gently, which still proved to be a bad thing as Cadance was still stronger than me and accidentally shoved me a back a foot or two. I luckily didn't slip on any ice.

"Oh, sorry about that Levy." frowned Cadance.

"It's no problem kitten," I assured while hugging her. "What's important is that we are together now."

Cadance hugged me back. "Of course Levy. Now let's head inside before we get cold."

"Cold?" I spat. "Hah, this is nothing in Arstrotzka."

"Oh boy." joked Cadance.

The two of us grabbed a hold of Cadance's luggage and headed inside the building. I greeted the receptionist who proceeded to hand Cadance a few additional documents on living here in this Arstrotzkan apartment complex.

After about a half hour of more paper filling, we headed up the elevator to my apartment.

"My new apartment here is class 4, slightly better than what the average Arstrotzkan generally has, but it's more than enough to accommodate two people since they're usually meant for whole families." I explained.

"Well it's nice to see you were thinking ahead." winked Cadance.

I blushed. "Haha....yeah."

I wasn't too keen on thinking about the whole marriage and after part with Cadance, there were still plenty of things that needed to be done if we were going to make our unique relationship work.

The elevator stopped and the two of us hoarded out our luggage down the hallway. Luckily there wasn't anyone else here so we were able to walk around without much hassle. Once in front of my door, I took out my keys and opened the doorway for the two of us.

I stepped inside and took a deep breath. "So, this is home now. What do you think?"

Cadance placed her hands in her pockets and took a good look around her. The apartment was pretty spacious for a single person, but then again these class 4s generally counted on spouses pooling their money for a dream home before the children arrived.

The interior didn't have a very crowded design. Although I was a fan of-of the grandiose baroque nature of our realist architecture's exterior, on the inside, I was more of a fan of the simpler designs. The kitchen was a simple walk in and most of the furniture was white and black alongside a pine wood or marble floor.

It could have passed for any old postmodernist apartment like the ones Cadance could see in Manehatten, were it not for the fact that I had taken the liberty of decorating my walls with a shit ton of Arstrotzkan collectivist propaganda posters. It added to the charm in my opinion.

Once she took a good look at the kitchen, bathroom, and living area, Cadance decided to take a peek at something a little different. Cadance looked outside the building through a window, and as I was only a few floors below the top, she could see practically anything. Once her sight got passed the other buildings, The downtown, the Colty Park, the university were all within view.

I was taking Cadance's nods as signs of approval, which relieved me quite a bit. She moved onto my bedroom and expected the insides. It wasn't too different thematically from the rest of the building, just a bed with a white wooden frame, a rank blanket on top and a few matching shelves over a beige carpet and tied up nicely with my favorite propaganda poster.

She glanced towards my side drawer and noticed that photos I had of her and my family next to me, just like she did back in her own room in Canterlot castle.

"How sweet of you." mused Cadance, eyeing the small framed photo of her in her favorite dress next to my bed.

"Just something to wake up to everyday kitten." I chuckled.

Cadance then raised an eyebrow and reached towards the frame of the poster I had in my room. I could have sworn my heart skipped a beat at that moment.

Cadance flipped the frame of the poster off the wall and nodded upon having her expectations confirmed. On the other side of the frame was an erotic painting featuring her and Fleur that had been painted in front of me a while back. I decided to keep the painting in my room, but disguised behind a nonsuspicious looking poster. I did recall telling Cadance of my plan regarding that.

She wasn't done inspecting my room to confirm her suspicions however because the next thing I knew, Cadance opened the bottom part of my side drawer. Sure enough, a series of nude selfie photos she had sent towards me on my phone which I printed were all stashed there.

"This is amazing," laughed Cadance while looking at those nude photos of herself. "Have any photos me like that in your office?"

"Nah, too risky," I shook. "I just keep the safe for work stuff featuring you in my office."

"Right, it wouldn't be that good if someone in the embassy found these scandalous pictures." nodded Cadance.

"Oh common, don't act like you don't have a stash of nudes featuring me laying around in your room." I defended.

"Well, they're no longer technically in my room now that I brought them all with me." smiled Cadance.

I walked up towards Cadance. "I had those around as inspiration to keep my dreams nice and sexy. Now that you're here however, we're going to have the actual person in front of us."

"I like the sound of that." said Cadance who kissed me on the cheek.

"So," I shrugged. "Liking the place so far?"

"It's pretty simple, but it has a really nice comforting and futuristic tone to it." replied Cadance.

"Well, that's a relief here," I sighed. "So I guess we better start unpacking your stuff now huh?"

Cadance rolled her eyes and with a grin, snapped her fingers. Her hand suddenly glowed its magical ethereal color and her suitcases glowed the exact same color as well.

In an instant, her luggage shot open and articles upon articles of clothing flew out alongside other utensil Cadance packed alongside her when moving. Before I knew it, the entire apartment was littered with flying items that were even arranging themselves in a proper fashion in their new home. Clothes were making their way in my closets and other objects were nestling in the drawers or stands. I could only wonder what was happening in the other rooms I wasn't in, but I'd figure that out when I stepped outside.

Right now, it was a bit of a hazard to walk outside, to say the least.

I had to sit down to admire the sheer scale of work that was being done so quickly and so simply with magic. I knew about Cadance's powers, but I was never not taken back by some of the things she could do, especially stuff I hadn't see he do before like this very spell she was using. Even more miraculously, I didn't get a single thing thrown into my face despite all these items flying around.

Cadance herself was simply sitting on the bed next to me, her hand still raised and waving around nonchalantly. Cadance's expression didn't seem to think too much of what was going, but I dared not disturb her until she got everything done, lest I wanted everything she was controlling to suddenly drop down.

After what felt like an hour, but was only a few minutes. The last article of clothing magically tucked itself in one of my drawers. Through sheer magical might, Cadance was officially moved in.

My mouth was still hung agape until I felt Cadance's finger close it shut and tug me towards her face.

She bit her lip a bit. "I know it's that not that fair to other Arstrotzkans that I can use magic to complete stuff you could in hours, but hey, we're not in front of anyone now aren't we?"

I shook my head and snapped back to reality. "Eh, I wouldn't ever count on that last part in Arstrotzka kitten. Seriously, though, you Equestrians could put the entire industry of mover collectives out of the business."

"Eh, it takes a lot of skill to master that spell actually, so don't worry about it," replied Cadance. "Besides, it's not like you guys aren't inventing machines to replace conventional labor and magic soon."

"Well, fully automated luxury space collectivism is what we hope to achieve in the People's Republic." I shrugged.

I lied down the bed and yawned. Cadance lied down too to join me.

"So what do we do now?" I muttered.

"I thought you had everything planned out." teased Cadance.

"I did, until SOMEBODY forgot to tell me they could use magic to unpack their stuff and finish an hour of work in a minute," I replied.

"Oh my, I'd really hated to be that somebody." teased Cadance.

I checked the time on my phone. "Uh, it's pretty early and we've got a few hours till new year's eve."

"Maybe we can get some work done?" proposed Cadance.

"Working on a holiday is considered bourgeois exploitation of the proletariat, unless it's an emergency thank you very much." I retorted.

Cadance didn't even bother to try stifling her laugh. "Any ideas, Mr. Wise Guy?"

"Uh," I shrugged, still staring aimlessly at the ceiling.

I gave it a moment of thought. "We could watch TV or something. See what state propaganda has to say or watch the New Year specials."

"Sounds good to me, we don't even have TV back home, so I'll take the offer." agreed Cadance.

The two of us were fastened on the couch facing my TV, in our usual position of me lying down on the couch while Cadance lied on top of me.

Half an hour had passed after we turned on the TV and a New Year special had just concluded. It was a pretty nifty feature about an Arstrotzkan diplomat desperately trying to deliver a message to a meeting between fictional great power leaders to clean up a ruse before a war could be declared on the New Year. Some good acting and special effects later, the message gets delivered and everyone learns the true meaning of New Year's day.

"That was pretty nice," said Cadance. "Well acted even with the simple plot."

"Yeah, but I wish the film gave us an answer as to whether or not those rogue Neighponese cyborg ninjas were real or hallucinations," I noted. "Because I still think they were allegories for protagonist's inner struggle fused with heavy drinking."

"They were clearly real Lev," replied Cadance. "I mean the damage they do is still visible after the fight is over and people seem to notice their corpses in the background."

"Maybe that was just an error. The average viewer wouldn't notice that." I remarked.

"It doesn't matter," yawned Cadance who then kissed me on the cheek. "So, we still have a lot of time. I was thinking about taking a shower after we got back from our outing, but I figured I might as well take one now. We can head straight to bed when we get home that way."

"We can do that." I agreed.

"Cool. I gotta do something first and then you can go in when I'm done." chirped Cadance who kissed me on the forehead and then hopped out of my grasp.

I slightly recoiled back once Cadance leaped onto her feet, as due to having super strength, she occasionally didn't know just how much strength she was really exerting on me. Once she left the small living room, I turned the TV back on and resumed watching.

A part of me was feeling a bit of confusion as I watched however. Normally, Cadance and I usually showered together as it was a sexy bonding experience and more importantly, saved water. I didn't expect her to go at it alone.

Regardless, it didn't bother me and I felt that she was going to call me in anyway.

After a few more minutes of aimlessly watching TV, I heard Cadance's voice cry out.

"Hey Lev!" she yelled from across the hall. "I need help something. Would you mind?"

"Yeah sure." I nonchalantly replied, wondering what the issue was.

I walked down the rather small hall and called out to Cadance.

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"Something is wrong with this shower here. I need your help!" told Cadance.

"Come on, it's gotta be like the shower you have at home," I said, right in front of the bathroom door which I began to open. "What could possibly be the prob.....lem?"

And as soon as I opened the door I was taken back once again by the beauty right in front of me.

Cadance was standing in front of the bathroom sink and cabinet, clad in nothing but an extremely loose bath towel draped over her and that headband she used to tie her hair into a ponytail.

Cadance placed a finger on her lip innocently, while simultaneously smirking at my surprised expression. It really did never get old for her when it came to teasing me.

"My problem is that I haven't made love to you in this specific shower," whispered Cadance seductively. "Care to fix that?"

I got a hold of myself and lightly chuckled. "Oh come on kitten, we shower together every time we're together. This isn't a surprise."

Cadance's lustful gaze pierced deeper in my soul. "Is it now? You were awfully startled back there."

"Huh, well that's because you have a thing for driving me crazy with your sexy body," I replied.

"So let's cut to the chase shall we?" smirked Cadance.

She proceeded to undo the tiny knot on her towel and quickly tossed the garment aside. I got a great view of Cadance's voluptuous body, which was still as beautiful and curvy as always.

Cadance beamed me an amused smile as I admired her seductive body. She then walked up towards me in her slow but seductive manner, which emphasized her rocking hips and jiggling breasts to an admirable degree. Cadance just knew that I was just dying to make love with her at that very instant.

Still clothed, I placed my hands on Cadance's elbows and worked my down her body, something that she seemed to really admire. As my hands slowly moved down, Cadance and I locked our lips into a deep, but still passionate kiss.

With our eyes closed, Cadance cast her stripping spell on me and sure enough, I felt that tingling sensation over my body before feeling absolutely no clothes on me at all. I didn't care about where my garments were magically placed by Cadance right now because I was too busy focusing on making out with my naked girlfriend.

My cock was now freed with no clothes to restrain it, and its erectness was immediately grabbed by the fingers of Cadance's hand.

I laughed a bit when Cadance grasped my dick and as did Cadance when my fingers started skidding on the mounds of her breast and tickling the tips of her nipples.

Cadance pulled my shaft harder with her palm and fingers, while I gave her breasts a good squeeze as well. We both cried out in pleasure which broke her kiss, but once we got a hold of ourselves, we laughed and resumed making out.

Our kisses grew deeper and deeper while I continued to tend to her breasts and she continued to play with my member. I let one of my hands off of Cadance's sizable breast and closed the door behind me, which we had forgotten to do since we were so wrapped up in our embrace alongside each other's arms and bodies.

After a few more moments of kissing and playing with each other's well-endowed assets, I broke off my lips slowly from Cadance's and looked down. I had two giant tracks of land in my palms to embrace.

I moved hands down to Cadance's toned belly and lowered my face onto her tits. I nuzzled my cheek on the mounds of her perky breast, embracing her supple skin and licked my lips to start suckling her nipples.

Before I could however, I felt Cadance place her fingers on my chin and pull me up.

Cadance smiled and shook her head naughtily. "Not yet Levy."

I was about to protest until Cadance stepped back and pulled the shower curtain aside and stepped in the bath. I quickly trailed behind her inside and watched her reach for the shower gauge. Cadance bent down to reach the knob, giving me a great view of her perky ass that started sliding across my dick and turned on the faucet.

A stream of hot relaxing water poured down from the shower head and started to flow down on Cadance. In an instant, I watched my girlfriend get doused with water that started making her body shine as she got wet and drenched.

Cadance wasted no time rubbing her hands across her body, reminding me of how her buxom breasts, her toned belly, curvaceous thighs and long legs glowed beautifully when submerged in the water.

Cadance extended her hand forward and I grabbed it, allowing her to pull me in for an embrace. Soon enough, I too felt the relaxing sensation of hot water spraying all over my body, which went nicely with the feeling of Cadance's wet naked skin hugging mine.

The two of us continued to kiss under the shower head, not worrying about slipping since Cadance's strength could easily hold the two of us in place, and furiously rubbed our hands across each other's naked bodies.

And speaking of rubbing, Cadance extended her hand behind me and levitated a bottle of soap towards her grasp. We temporarily broke off the kiss as Cadance held and shook the bottle in front of me, playfully rolling her eyes all the while. I nodded as this was the part where we actually needed to clean each other up. I opened up my palm and Cadance squirted a dab of soap onto it and she did the same. Once we were ready, she levitated the bottle back to bath's side.

We stepped out of the shower head and in an instant, we immediately began rubbing the warm bubbly soap all over each other's bodies. As if feeling each other up when wet and naked wasn't enough, try to imagine what it must've felt like when soap was added to the mixture.

As my soapy hands traveled across Cadance's firm skin, more and more of her luscious body became covered in a bubbly white foam, cleaning her up nicely.

Half out of keeping my girlfriend clean and healthy and the other half out of enjoying her voluptuous body, my hands made sure to travel across each and every part of her figure to cover her with soap. I did pay a lot of attention to her supple rear and breasts, but to my defense, they were pretty large and needed to be tended to. Cadance herself did enjoy it when her perky tits and ass were rubbed by me anyway.

That wasn't anything to say about how Cadance was treating me personally. Her palms loaded with soap lathered and tended to my every need, not leaving a single spot on me unchecked. Her hands really had a majestic flow to them as they traveled across my body to the point where I frequently found myself moaning in pleasure as I embraced her grasp.

Cadance and I also enjoyed it when she started feeling up and lathering my erect dick, making sure it was nice and clean, but also to make sure that it would remain fully erect to fuck her later.

Of course, we did occasionally struggle with our arms as we covered each other in soap, but we had such a harmony with each other that it didn't even matter.

This entire time, the two of us were locked in an embrace with our eyes closed. Somehow, we didn't need to open our eyes to properly rub each other with soap, but that probably went down to practice. All we truly needed was the feeling of each other's embrace in the form of our kiss and moving hands, which was strengthened with our eyes closed as it allowed us to fully immerse ourselves.

Soon, Cadance's entire body from her majestic arms, buxom breasts, firm belly, perky rear, to her curvaceous legs and thighs were absolutely covered in soap. The exact same could be said about me.

We opened our eyes and laughed upon seeing the foamy white bubbles all over each other. The best part about making love in the shower, besides letting the running water wash your sex fluids, was that you took your time cleaning each other since lovers wanted to ravish each other.

Cadance guided me back to the shower head and soon enough, the familiar sensation of hot running water encompassed our entire body. The soapy bubbles flew down from our body and into the drain, leaving the two of us shining brightly with the running water again.

We hugged each other once more and kissed. Cadance's embrace was so tight that I the familiar sensation of her firm sizable breasts pounding my chest returned. Our kisses alternated between faster and faster pecks or slow and deep kisses.

After a minute more of just making out, Cadance shot me a smirk and decided to head onto the next phase as she got on her knees while I instinctively stepped back.

Cadance found herself facing my cock which she greeted with a kiss on its head. Instantly, a wave of pleasure traveled up my spine from the tip of my erection all the way through my ecstatic brain.

Cadance placed a few more kisses on the head of my drenched stiff member while clutching and squeezing her own boobs. Soon enough, those kisses grew longer and more passionate as they began moving down from head to shaft. Once she had reached the base of my dick, she topped it all off with a long lick that sent a shiver of arousal throughout my body.

Like she was tasting a lollipop, Cadance flicked and licked my dick with her tongue in a rapid succession until she wrapped my entire member with the roof of her tongue and the roof of her mouth.

One my dick was fully inside of her mouth, she started the oral with a little nibble on my shaft with the tip of her teeth. That tingling feeling was always welcome.

Fully fastened in the grasp of her mouth, Cadance began sucking my dick, ready to drink down my cum. Her lips pulled tugged on my dick and each suck made me nearly moan out loud full arousal. She began driving me crazy with pleasure once she sped up her pace in a manner that clearly still wanted to savor the feeling of my cock, but get out its cum too.

All the while, Cadance was flapping and bouncing her own boobs, keeping her hands occupied while she sucked on my dick. My hands meanwhile were up against the shower wall to make sure I didn't accidentally moan too hard and trip while Cadance continued to jerk off my cock with her lips and tongue.

Soon, it was clear that Cadance had some plans to kick it up a notch.

Cadance slowly, but gently pried her mouth away from my cock. Right before she would even let a second of my dick go untended to, she lifted the perky breasts she was playing with and sandwiched my cock between their bountiful folds.

My erection found itself caught between Cadance's huge tits, mounds so supple that only the tip of my dick was visible, and that wasn't even Cadance using her entire chest to begin with.

As my dick was fully engulfed between Cadance's drenched and plentiful tits, they were trapped with no way of escape. Not that I would ever complain. She bounced her breasts, which in turn jerked my dick in between the firm skin. Seeing that I liked it, Cadance grasped her tits harder and continued to assault my cock by constantly jerking and rubbing it against her pair.

Cadance jiggled and shook her wet breasts faster and faster as if she was giving me a handjob with her tits. Soon enough, she started squeezing her breasts onto my cock, and the pulses of pleasure from my sex to the rest of my body grew stronger.

Cadance showed me no mercy as she squeezed hard. She also started tugging her breasts upwards, wanting to get my semen out of me at that moment.

I gritted my teeth and braced myself as my erection took the maximum amount of force it could handle from Cadance's huge and supple tits.

Sensing I was close to ejaculating, Cadance licked her lips and began to secure her prize when she brought her head down to the tip of my cock. She enveloped the head of my dick with her lips and licked the bulb furiously with her tongue.

One final tug from her perky mounds later and I let loose a stream of semen that shot up from my wet rod and into Cadance's mouth. With a huge amount of delight, Cadance gladly ran the semen down her throat.

I let out a moan in pleasure as my cock burst another shot of semen. I was impressed how much was apparently stored in there. Cadance had fully sealed the head of my dick in her mouth so that not a single droplet would get by her and get washed away by the shower water.

Once it was clear that I had spent that round, Cadance finally motioned her head away from the tip of my dick and finally let go of her own breasts. With a plop, the mounds of her breasts jiggled down and freed my dick from its perky buxom prison.

Cadance stood up and let the shower water fully engulf her once more while she fixed her ponytail.

After a giggle from the two of us, we wrapped our hands around each other and embraced on the lips once more. Cadance certainly gave the best oral sex in the world, and I was about to reward her with a good fucking against her pussy, as was the tradition.

While we kissed, I let my hand slide down Cadance's wet firm backside to approach her bottom. With a good spank for a greeting, I welcomed the feeling of Cadance's huge wet perky ass in my palm.

Cadance wrapped around my backside tighter as we continued to kiss under the shower head, my still erect cock pointing and prodding at her entrance. Her grip was tight for she wouldn't dare let go, lest her supple that were pressed against my chest break free and shove me back against the shower wall.

However, we did find a way for me to fuck her directly without her breasts being too much of an issue.

With the head of my cock needing some space to prod Cadance's entrance, Cadance moved a hand to her breast assaulting my chest. Sliding my hand from her wet back, my other still gripping her ass, I did the same.

We slowly pried apart our bodies and lifted the respective breast we were grabbing.

With Cadance's buxom tits lifted up, I used my other hand on Cadance's ass to guide her waist to my member. The bulb of my wet cock prodded Cadance's equally wet entrance, although it was clear it wasn't just the shower water that was making her moist.

Slowly, but gently, the head of my cock began to enter her inside. Cadance's vaginal lips were spread apart by my erection, which caused us both to moan in delight and ecstasy. We both took a second to relax before I went any further. I didn't want to shove my entire length in her all at once and instantly cum. That wasn't fun for either of us.

I turned to the breast of Cadance that I was holding to point upwards. Her mounds were so large and firm that it was a wonder that my single hand could even hold it's heavy build.

I licked my lips and then turned my tongue to Cadance's erect wet nipple. I greeted that nipple with a little kiss, which made Cadance giggle in delight and then took it up a notch with a tiny prod with my tongue.

Cadance's nipple danced and bounced against my tongue, growing more and stiffer as it expected to be suckled. I wasn't about to deny its wishes, so I puckered my lips and poked the nipple against my lips. I had to double down on holding Cadance's breast to make sure it wouldn't fall down and on my grip on her ass to make sure I wouldn't fall down.

All the while, my other hand was pushing Cadance's huge ass forward, which caused her hips to sway closer and closer to me. The tightness of Cadance's insides caused a shock of pleasure to pulse through my erection once more.

It was deep inside her, but tight too. As Cadance's vaginal walls closed in further on me, I gritted my teeth and nibbled on Cadance's nipple.

Cadance let out a moan of pleasure as my cock burrowed further and further into her. Inch by inch of my shaft made its way inside of her entrance, getting jerked by her pussy's tightness all the while.

Cadance and I began panting further and further, especially now that my cock had fully been engulfed by her sex. We were almost trembling in pleasure, so I had to chalk it up to my grasp on Cadance's ass and her super strength holding my back down to keep us on our feet on the wet bathtub.

As she exhaled and moaned in sheer bliss, I finally began sucking Cadance's nipple, which caused her cries to be longer and more relaxed. It was a soothing feeling for Cadance to have her nipples tugged on by my lips, so I was happy to oblige.

My lips rocked back and forth with Cadance's nipple in my mouth, supported by the hand that was trying to keep her breast onto my face. To spice things up, I'd occasionally flick her nipple with my tongue, ready to drain Cadance's sizable boob of its contents. My turned attention also helped me thinking too much about the vaginal penetration I was committing, preventing me from cumming too quickly.

"Keep sucking!" cried Cadance in delight.

"Of course kitten." I replied, nipple still in my mouth.

The spurts of milky goodness flowing from Cadance's nipple began filling up my mouth which I began running down my throat. As Cadance's walls were assaulting my cock with no mercy, suckling on her nipple was a great way to keep me from crying out in pleasure too much.

I also doubled down on my other hand's grip on her ass, just to make sure the taste of Cadance's lactating goodness didn't turn me away from reality.

Apparently, Cadance seemed to have the same idea too, because I noticed a distinct lack of moans from her.

My eyes looked up and sure enough, Cadance, who was holding up her own breast with her hand, was suckling her own breast too. Like me just a moment ago, Cadance had her eyes closed and was furiously tugging on her own nipple, which successfully reached her face due to her breasts’ buxom size. She seemed to be enjoying pleasuring herself if the light shaking of her body was anything to go by.

Cadance seriously had to be overwhelmed with a pleasurable sensation at this point. Her ass was tended to with my grasp, her tits were being sucked on and my stiff erection was deep inside her.

I took a few more suckles out of her nipples before smirking and looking up at Cadance.

"You like your own taste do you?" I laughed.

Cadance lowered her own breast from her mouth and opened her eyes, panting furiously. "What can I say? My boobs are well endowed in more than one way."

We both chuckled and resumed sucking on her tits, draining their contents dry as my cock pounded and pounded her pussy. Had we not been suckling Cadance's lactating goodness, we would have been moaning furiously by now. Or at least Cadance would since I always kept my mouth occupied with her nipples.

At that point, it was pretty clear the two of us were close to cumming. Like any good couple, we were practically able to synchronize our bodies at this point so that we could start and end at the same time.

I gritted my teeth further in response to Cadance's clamping vaginal walls jerking my dick for my cum and proceeded to suck her tits even faster. My lips tugged and pulled furiously, draining the plentiful milk stored with Cadance's breasts.

A tense moment after, and the last drop from Cadance's lactating nipples ran down my throat. Given that female alicorns like her had a pretty large surplus of milk in their already massively sized tits, it was a wonder that I could even finish tending to them.

Cadance meanwhile lowered her own breast as she finished suckling her own tit a moment after. She was blushing hard, evidently aroused by her own suckling and lactating.

Cadance got a hold of herself, or at least the most she could as I was about to cum in her. "My milk....tastes....so good."

We kissed and wrapped our arms around each other while we shoved our waists forward. Eyes closed and locked deep into a kiss, waves of pleasure were erupting everywhere as we approached our climax. Now that Cadance's tits were drained of their milk, it was time for my erection to drain its sticky white sex juices too.

"I'm..ready.." I whispered, to which Cadance gave a muffled response I translated as 'me too'.

Finally, my cock unleashed everything within it as I cummed inside of Cadance's tight vaginal walls. Loads and loads of semen spurted from my erection and filled her insides.

At the same time, I could feel Cadance let loose her vaginal fluids too, which collided and mixed with my own cum inside of her.

We both moaned at the same time and panted furiously as our sex juices clashed, filled with bliss and arousal. Cadance's vaginal lips were clutched rather tight, so I only felt a tiny trickle of semen trickle down from her pussy and onto the running drain.

We grabbed a hold of ourselves, still holding our each other's bodies tight, and glanced at each other.

"Another shower, another amazing fuck." I joked.

Cadance smiled, hugging me closer to double down on squishing her giant tits on my chest. "And we'll be doing this pretty much every day now that we're living together."

"Yeah, I hope we don't get bored of it." I mused.

Cadance smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Bored? You're gonna get bored of making love to an alicorn? Yeah right. Besides, I'm the Princess Of Love, so this is as natural to me as raising the sun is to Celestia."

"Then this is going to be a great life." I chuckled, which was interrupted by Cadance's kiss.

Although our shower didn't last too long, taking only slightly longer than the length an individual would spend in here on average, the sheer bliss we felt made our time together in the tub seem like forever.

Slowly, but hesitantly, I pulled my softening cock out of Cadance, causing another stream of sex juices to leak out of her pussy and into the drain. Cadance turned off the shower head and we both stepped out and began to reach for the towels.

"Come on," said Cadance, opening a towel. "We gotta get dressed."

"Right behind you kitten." I replied, spanking Cadance's supple ass before she put her towel on.

Cadance chuckled and rubbed her perky love butt. "I'm looking forward to this new life."

We got out of the subway station and looked at the scene before us. All across the streets of Moscolt were gigantic crowds heading to the city center, for only a fool wouldn't be in this part of the city on New Year's day.

The weather was cold as usual for an Arstrotzkan winter, but it mattered not because the sheer energy and movement of everyone were enough to keep them warm. That, and out winter gear was good enough to always keep us bundled up and warm on even the coldest days.

"Hectic huh!" I yelled amid all the fanfare.

"Yeah! You're all really into this!" exclaimed Cadance back at me.

"New Year's kitten! New Years!" I cheered, half laughing at the entire scene before me. It was pretty hard not to just get excited at the prospect of another new year with joy and wonder.

The two of us were locking hands and both dressed up in our generally casual winter attire. No formal dresses for tonight, as the club and bar collectives pretty much shut down in for the night. Only a few self-employed vendors were open trying to make money, and those were mostly the Germane expats selling Wurst, Schnitzel, and Beer to party goers and their Halyexandrian or Neighponese counterparts. Those that wanted to throw massive indoor parties generally had to rely on their own home or a friend's.

The scene was so hectic with Arstrotzkans, some drunk on vodka and watched closely by security details, yelling patriotic and New Year's Slogans and going absolutely wild. It was a pretty stark contrast from the rather industrious, busy and faced paced life that normally dominated Moscolt.

Everyone was so busy that they failed to notice that Princess Cadance and her dashing boyfriend were among the crowd, or that they knew but didn't think much of it beyond amusement. Only a few couples did and that was just a quick hello. That was for the better honestly, given the hordes of celebrators everywhere.

Cadance and I took a few photos on the way, mostly in front of the statues and post-modernist financial skyscrapers littered with lights and decorations as part of the tradition.

We even had enough time to get some food from the aforementioned vendors due to showing up early. I got myself some Neighponese pork rolls made in a special way that was only available on the New Year's, which was weird since the Neighponese tended to have their own New Year celebration a lot later in February. Not that I or the vendor complained. Cadance meanwhile happily munched on a Haylexandrian falafel. All that went down nicely with the Germane beers we chugged down, Cadance reminding me of her enhanced endurance by ordering 3 cups instead of 1 like me.

After our dinner break, Cadance and I finally made it to the city square. The Revolutionary Army Choir was singing its typical array of Arstrotzkan songs both new and old and the official state broadcaster reporters were enthusiastically covering the scene.

Lights were all flashing on the gigantic Palace of the Collectives, the official city hall of Moscolt. It was a grandiose structure constructed in a mix of styles, realist neoclassical and post-modernist alike, with a statue of the revolutionary hero Vladivostok perched on top. It was as if his figure was pointing to the enemies of the revolution that needed to be conquered, and that his ideas would live on.

Cadance and I clutched hands as we waited patiently for the main event to come to fruition.

"Here's to another great year." cheered Cadance.

"Hah! And it'll truly be one full of change too now that you're working here." I laughed.

"And as long as you're by my side, there's nothing we won't overcome for the next 12 months." added Cadance.

"That's the power of love I guess," I joked.

"Hey! That's my line." teased Cadance.

"Hey there!" yelled a voice.

Suddenly, Cadance and I found cameras flashing blinding us and a microphone pointed at us.

At that point, I realized I was on TV. The state news channel really loved interviewing random people during the New Year's Eve, so if you weren't careful, they'd pick you out. A part of me thought that they chose us on purpose for an interview given who we were, but I figured that the crowd was so hectic, that it had to be by chance.

Oblivious, the News Reporter looked at the camera as he spoke.

He had an accent that hinted he was from Hoofia, a place where Arstrotzkans spoke in a rather boisterous dialect, perfect for news reporters. "So comrades! Here we have a lovely couple that's....AH WOW!"

Suddenly, the Reporter realized who he picked for an interview upon glancing at us. "Hey, it's Commissar Lev and his girlfriend Princess Cadance of Equestria. How are you two doing on this fine evening!"

"We're amazing!" beamed Cadance. "I swear, you Arstrotzkans really know how to throw a New Year's party."

"Well I don't know about Equestria, but tonight's a huge deal here." chuckled the Reporter.

"Oh no, we Equestrians loved the New Year too!" insisted Cadance. "But you guys take it to the next level!"

"That's very true," laughed the Reporter. "And I heard that the Equestrian embassy you will be working in will open soon no?"

"Yeah it is!" confirmed Cadance. "I'm so excited about it and that I got to move here."

"The glorious People's Republic is honored to host you. It will be the best time of your life." insisted the Reporter.

Cadance kissed me on the cheek, on national television. I blushed, but thankfully didn't do anything stupid.

"I'm sure it will now that I get to work with him all day." mused Cadance as she pointed the camera to me.

"Ah, comrade Lev!" greeted the Reporter. "How do you feel now that Princess Cadance, your girlfriend I might add, is now living with you?"

"Um," I muttered. Cadance was really better at public appearances. "I couldn't be happier to be honest. Getting to be with her every day, and not taking a long train ride to do so is really just spectacular."

"Haha! I'm sure it is." laughed the Reporter. "So how do you...."

The Reporter's voice and gaze were cut off before he started smiling like a fanboy. "Oh my...it's the Secretary General of Trojava! Come comrades, we must greet him at once!"

The Reporter and a lot of the crowd suddenly had their attention turned to a guy in a political officer suit with the skin tone of a Haylexandrian, but with more Arstrotzkan facial features. The Secretary General of the Trojava Collectivist party, one of our allies, was apparently on the scene. Obviously, a fellow comrade rather than a lowly Commissar and his Princess girlfriend would be a bigger deal.

"Secretary General of Trojava?" frowned Cadance. "Aren't they an Arstrotzkan puppet state?"

"Details," I muttered, feeling sorry for the Sec Gen as Arstrotzkan fans began swarming him, forcing his bodyguards and Arstrotzkan security to pry them off.

"Well, they are comrades." laughed and shrugged Cadance.

"Yeah," I simply said, turning back to Cadance. "Did you really have to kiss me on live TV?"

"Oh, you don't like it?" teased Cadance.

"NO NO NO!" I defended. "I love it when you kiss me kitten, it's just that..uh..I don't handle..."

"Live things well?" finished Cadance for me. "I know, but you gotta start getting used to this. Now that I'm an ambassador here, we'll probably be questioned a lot by the news now, so you have to start working up the courage."

"I know, I know," I sighed. "Thanks for reminding me."

"Hey, that's one of the perks of dating a Princess," chirped Cadance, who kissed me on the cheek. "Besides, I think you handled it pretty well."

"Really?" I checked.

"Really." confirmed Cadance.

Before I could say anything else, the Arstrotzkan national anthem played. It was time for the main event.

We all gazed back the entrance to the Palace of the Collectivists. From the doors emerged a sharp dressed man looking sexy in his dashing Political Officer uniform, but thoughtful and cunning too.

He approached a podium before him and took the microphone, but didn't start speaking until the anthem died down. After a short period of time, the Arstrotzkan anthem concluded and there was nothing but silence.

Said silence was broken by an announcer. "Comrade Citizens of Moscolt, Mayor Vladimir Malenkov!"

The crowd cheered and gave the raised left clenched fist salute of solidarity, or at least the Arstrotzkans did as we did not really expect non-collectivist peoples to do so.

Malenkov spoke with his energetic and proud tone. "Comrades! How are you all doing on this fine night?"

The crowd cheered in happiness and delight.

Malenkov smiled. "Well, I can tell you all had a great year just like me. And of course, this should be no surprise since my administration was the one ensuring all that."

The crowd laughed.

Malenkov continued once the chuckles died down. "No no no. I kid. What am I but the extension of your will? It is really the workers of Arstrotzka that really make this city great with their hardworking and compassionate ways of solidarity. You all are responsible for Moscolt's, no, Arstrotzka's magnificence that makes it the best place in the world!"

Everyone went wild.

Malenkov resumed. "With a new year comes new challenges. Challenges that can, and WILL be overcome with the collective might of the Arstrotzkan workers. A new year also brings many joys and hopes that will come and go, but be cherished and remembered forever. But most of all, another year means another year of the Arstrotzkan workers living in triumphant glory in the People's Republic their ancestors fought hard for and descendants continue to protect!"

Cadance and I shot each other glowing smiles. Malenkov's statement was especially true for us. There were going to be new challenges with our new roles in the Equestrian embassy.

Malenkov fixed his tie and shot the crowd a seductive wink. "Now comrades, the time for this year is fading, and the time for the new year is approaching. If you will, lead the way!"

Malenkov and the audience looked up to where the beams of light pointed towards an old fashioned clock. The minute and hour hands pointed to 11:59, and were seconds away to the new year.

"3!" yelled the crowd.

Cadance and I moved our bodies facing each other.

"2!"

We brought her faces together.

"1!"

We gazed in each other's loving eyes.

"Happy new year!"

Our lips were joined together in a loving embrace. As our eyes closed while we kissed, the sounds of fireworks and cheering crowds littered our ears. We wouldn't have it any other way.

As the music kickstarted once more, the two of us pulled our lips apart for a second to look at each other lovingly.

"Happy New Year Levy." said Cadance with a warm smile.

"Happy New Year kitten." I grinned.

We resumed kissing and hugging each other affectionately. All around us, the city was going wild with celebration.

There were going to be challenges on the road ahead now that our relationship was going to be taken to the next level. We were officially going to be living together like a true couple, and actually working together at that.

Being in senior positions in Arstrotzkan diplomacy, the ambassador of Equestria and her assistant and all that, also brought a whole new batch of responsibilities. We were going to be in charge of representing Equestria, an important, but lowly country compared to the great power that was Arstrotzka.

Still, as we kissed and hugged, we could each feel a large degree of certainty and security in each other. Cadance was the Alicorn Princess of Equestria and I had broken norms by being her Collectivist partner. We were game changers bringing forth a new era and we were going to do our best at representing Equestria with our new careers.

There were going to be millions of eyes on us, okay maybe not literally since everyone was focusing on the partying to pay attention to us kissing, but we were taking up a position of representation that was hundreds of years overdue now that I thought of it.

We were the first Arstrotzkan Commissar and Alicorn Princess to be a pair of lovers, we were going to be the first ambassadors of Equestria to Arstrotzka, and we were going to be the first to do a spectacular job at it. We needed no proof of that other than each other's loving embrace.

The outside to the Equestrian embassy in Moscolt didn't stand out too much. It was constructed in the mighty neoclassical style that set it apart from the glass skyscrapers exclusive to Arstrotzka or baroque apartments favored the nation has a whole. The only thing that was truly making it stand out were the Equestrian flags next to the conveniently bigger Arstrotzkan ones and of course, the decorations, statues, and engravings that represented symbols of Equestria.

Cadance and I were right outside its gates, admiring its view before stepping in.

"Doubt it's as big as the Germane embassy you used to work at huh?" asked Cadance.

"Nor as distinct. Sorry Cady, but you all are dealing with Arstrotzkan architecture for this one." I chuckled.

"It's the whole great power thing isn't it?" joked Cadance. "We're just a backwater for you all."

I gave a fake scoff, knowing that Cadance was just messing with me. "Oh come on, the Germanes have a massive role to play ever since they practically invented our country. By not invading Esponia, Latneigha and Lithumaneia during the revolution, we can easily crush the allied invasion of Arstrotzkan lands. You all, on the other hand, tried to stop the whole thing from happening."

Cadance rolled her eyes and spoke in a sassy tone. "Face it Levy, they only wanted your guns. And besides, Celestia didn't even make the order. She knew better than to invade a massive set of lands with advancing technology and a large determined population."

"Yeah? Well, then that's reason 100 why your guard shouldn't mess with us and isn't getting the honor of guarding you." I laughed.

Cadance joined me in the laugh, but there was truth to my last sentence. The entire embassy would be guarded by Arstrotzkan soldiers clad in their usual camo and clutching their usual rifles. As per a global treaty, the 4 great powers always reserved the right to choose what soldiers would guard embassies in their own countries and their own embassies abroad.

That, and we were practically doing a service for Cadance's safety given their odd habit of never actually being the ones to solve a crisis. The soldiers of the People's Republic were not bound by such a strange phenomenon.

A security trooper approached us.

"Everything is ready for you to enter Princess Cadance." she said.

"Excellent." chirped Cadance who grabbed my hand as the gates opened and made ourselves in.

We were accompanied by a few other security troopers who would be guarding the place and the rest of the Equestrian delegation and the Arstrotzkan officials. The Arstrotzkans stationed at this embassy were pretty young, as working in an Equestrian embassy wasn't a difficult task as it wasn't such a hectic or powerful nation to begin with. The Equestrian officials were slightly older, and while there was clearly a sense of enthusiasm within them, there was also a bit of uncertainty as many of them were now working in a nation with clashing ideals as them and in an embassy not exactly constructed to their tastes.

The front yard outside the embassy did invoke the gardens of Canterlot a bit however, which I felt was a bit of a nice touch.

Inside, it was clear that the Equestrian embassy was using the same cookie cutter approach to all other non great power embassies as the layout was roughly the same. The furnishings were in the neoclassical style just like the exterior was.

The only difference however was that there were a few facilities that catered to Equestrians specifically such as an entirely vegetarian or vegan cafe, a vanishing quilt writing station to communicate with friends back home and a few stationed "magic support" officials to handle any sort of magic related disaster. Those officials were clearly Germane rather than Equestrian however.

"What do you think kitten?" I asked.

"It's amazing so far," replied Cadance. "It's actually pretty cozy and relaxing. Not too hectic like the castle back home."

"Well, with so little actual Equestrians here, you're entire job might as well be a free ride." I joked.

"That's easy for you to say," countered Cadance with a smirk. "Imagine being the one on the receiving end of having to deal with a great power. One wrong move and it's bye bye Equestria."

"Oh don't worry Cadance, there is no way we'd see your country as invasion worthy." I laughed.

Cadance raised an eyebrow. "Was that an insult?"

"You figure it out." I mused.

The two of us laughed and hugged each other before kissing. We quickly pried ourselves apart however, given that this was a professional environment and all.

Still, I couldn't help but look at Cadance and the amazing outfit she wore. It was a standard Equestrian officer uniform, that was (you guessed it) pink and went along nicely with some boots she was wearing. It obviously wasn't revealing like her summer casual clothes or the dresses she wore at formal occasions, as it was a work setting and it was cold enough already, but it did hug her form nicely. I could see a nice outline of Cadance's body through her officer's uniform, the same way a tight Arstrotzkan male's commissar uniform did a splendid job hinting at our toned bodies and firm rears.

Just then we heard the sound of heavy boots marching and turned to our side.

"Nice to see you two are enjoying it so far." greeted General Secretary Stepan Bagramyan, accompanied by his 4 special operations guards.

"I'm awfully pleased," nodded Cadance. "It'll be easy for me to get used to here."

"Well, I hope," chuckled Bagramyan. "Because this is where you're going to be working in the next few, perhaps most, years of your life."

"And I have no complaints about that." assured Cadance.

"Of course not," smirked Bagramyan. "We Arstrotzkans make sure our guests are accommodated and pleased, not to mention I'm glad your loved one will be by your side throughout this ordeal. We can't even order you to replace him unless you or he desires."

"And I'm for sure standing by her," I affirmed, grabbing Cadance's hand.

"Come," waved Bagramyan. "You should see your actual office."

"But of course." remarked Cadance.

The two of us, Bagramyan and his security detail made our way up to the third floor of the embassy, where down the hall was a large door that would lead to Cadance's office.

"Allow me," offered Bagramyan as he opened the door while Cadance and I walked in.

Needless to say, the office was pretty breathtaking. It wasn't too large, but definitely spacious. There was a large desk assorted with paperwork Cadance could easily fill out later on, all very neatly arranged. There was a sitting area that held a set of couches, a mini kitchen and a warming fireplace to wrap it all together. Next to it was a large bookcase that contained a lot of Cadance's personal favorites and any sets of information she would need.

"Have to say, it doesn't feel too different compared to back home." beamed Cadance.

"Glad to hear that." replied Bagramyan.

"Huh, and I just get one of those generic office spaces," I muttered sarcastically.

"And would you have it anyway Comrade Ulyanov?" inquired Bagramyan.

"Not at all Tovarisch Bagramyan." I snickered, which Bagramyan did as well.

I took a look around me and nodded. "Yep, this is going to be a great time together eh kitten?"

Cadance sat down on her desk. "Indeed it is Levy."

Cadance took a look at a grand painting that was hard to avoid. It contained a scene of ragtag revolutionaries clutching the Arstrotzkan banner over a won battle where the enemy flag and forces remained in ruins. It was an enormous moment in Arstrotzkan history.

"Just one question." requested Cadance.

"Yes Princess?" replied Bagramyan.

Cadance grinned in amusement. "Was it really necessary to have a painting installed here depicting the Arstrotzkan victory over Equestrian forces in the arctic during the revolution?"

"Yes."

BONUS Intermission: Hearth's Warming Eve

It was a cold night, as usual in the middle of Arstrotzkan winter. The streets of Moscolt were littered with snow and everyone was wearing heavy clothing to keep just the slightest semblance of a warm feeling. It wasn't unbearable and fatal, but the snow could get even on an Arstrotzkan's nerves after it went on for months.

The worst part was that we were hardly half way there. We still had a long way to go before we would see the snow melt. A part of me wondered what it would have been like if Arstrotzkans had the magical ability to control the weather like the magical races, but I figured we were doing fine enough.

I had just got back from a long day of work, which was standard before the Holidays would begin. Hearth's Warming Eve, one of the many Equestrian celebrations that transcended to a worldwide phenomenon, was coming close. Decorations were everywhere and buildings for once were blasting carols rather than patriotic proletarian music. Of course being Arstrotzka, we personally treated it as a story of overcoming racism for it was quite a feat for the Tromance Unicorns, Trottingham Earth People and Hayzantine Pegasai to come together to form an utterly new nation amid magical threats and mutual hatred.

That said, the Equestria aspect of it was played down.

Regardless, that didn't mean I couldn't get into the mood. I had one final task to complete for the night before my holidays could officially begin.

Three years had passed since I visited Cadance in Equestria on that winter night where we made our love for each other official. Every winter since that day, I would visit Equestria frequently to see her and then we'd retreat to Arstrotzka for the New Year, which honestly was the bigger holiday around here.

I had already gotten her a present and when I arrived to Canterlot she'd give me mine. And then of course we'd have our greeting sex next to a cozy fireplace while sipping caramel coffee. The weeks we'd spend apart would only make our passions stronger.

I finally arrived to the destination of my assignment, a Germane bar in the midst of an Arstrotzkan strip mall, and by strip mall I obviously meant a federation of worker co-ops with no single parasite profiting off of their sales. As I was a Commissar in the Germane embassy and had been notified by them for this task, it was obvious that I would have to be the one to go through with this.

I took a deep breath and burst through the door.

SLAM

".....Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I am sick and tired of letting kids getting away with saying all sorts of crazy shit. I mean, if we don't teach them now, it'll bite us and them in the ass later on." I announced as I walked inside. Small talk, albeit one I'd imagine any true Arstrotzkan worker would be with in agreement.

The scene was that of a typical Arstrotzkan bar, albeit with all the Germane writings and characters given its nature. The Germane immigrants who were here distinguished themselves with their multi colored hair or wings.

Some of the Germanes and Arstrotzkans looked at me with confused expressions, while some of the Germanes appeared hostile.

I pretended not to make much of it and continued inside, overhearing the conversations playing before me.

"Ist er es?"

"Ja es ist er...Kommissar Lev Ulyanov."

"Er is mit Prinzessin Cadance?"

"Ja."

I sat down the bar and ordered a Smarenoff Ice which came quick in a bottle. The bartender seemed to be confused like a few others were, striking him off the list of suspicion.

I took a few sips and sat my bottle down as I heard people come towards me. "You know? I hate it when one Arstrotzkan thinks their dialect is superior to others and that they deserve to act like a privileged snob over it."

Just then, I heard and felt a figure behind me leap in my direction with a bit of a grizzly voice.

I instantly turned around and kneed my assailant in the gut, just as he was within an inch of me. He stumbled back and when he drew forward, I pulled out the pistol that had been given to me and fired 3 shots in his direction which surely killed him instantly.

Another attacker charged me with a pool cue which I grabbed and yanked in my direction. The pseudo spear man was knocked off balance, giving me time to kick him down and stab the pool cue down his chest.

A third charger rushed at me from behind with his wings flailing about, but I managed to reach behind me with me free arm and threw him into the bar, his body pierced by dozens of alcohol bottles. I figured the government would pay for that in my place.

Two more came in both directions. I managed to pull one on the right into a choke hold and used my gun carrying arm to elbow the one to my left back a few feet. The latter was promptly shot in the head as I immediately leveled my pistol to his face. The one in the choke hold struggled to break free, but firm squeezed from my army promptly broke his neck.

I heard a bunch of foot steps behind me, so I turned around and brandished my gun at a guy who promptly shot his hands up and started blabbering about like an innocent.

"Don't shoot! I'm Arstrotzkan like you!" he begged.

I raised an eyebrow, as he clearly was trying to charge me a second ago. I decided to test him out.

"A gay Arstrotzkan man calls a Germane bisexual a queer in vain without knowing of the latter's sexual orientation. Has he committed hate speech in the name of the motherland?" I quizzed.

The man dropped his jaw and his eyes darted from side to side.

"I knew you weren't a comrade." I gritted.

He proceeded to confirm my suspicions with an inhuman screech as he blazed at me, but was quickly gunned down by 3 bullets to the head. Each shot, as with all other wounds afflicted by my assailants, caused a greenish blood to splatter about.

All figures who were downed immediately transformed as a bright light encompassed their bodies, revealing not Arstrotzkans and Germanes, but rather males with dusk colored skin and a penchant for black body suits. Corpses who had their eyes opened revealed bug like characteristics.

"Have to hand it to the Changelings, they know how to take even us by surprise." I muttered.

The bodies soon vanished where a sickly green essence materialized from where their corpses laid. They vanished into thin air, probably returning to the lake of evil the Changelings spawned from so that they would be reborn. Changelings were abnormally easy to defeat with their Queen, to the point where a child with a knife was a bigger threat, but their reincarnations were a haste to deal with.

What didn't vanish was the green blood everywhere, especially the stuff still on my jacket.

"I gotta wash don't I?" I muttered, with every human in the bar nodding in agreement as their disgusted expressions focused on destruction around the bar.

"Filthy filthy filthy..." I whispered to myself in the shower, furiously scrubbing my body with soap as I tried to wash away the smell. The warmth of a good shower was a welcome feeling after my outing in the cold weather. Water drizzled down my body, every droplet making sure it could feel every possible inch of me before it flowed down the drain.

As I quickly, but carefully rubbed bubbly soap over my top, I could hear my phone ring on the counter just right outside my shower. I quickly rinsed my soapy hand, opened the shower door and dried it on a towel before answering it.

"Da tovarisch." I answered without seeing who was calling.

"Pryvet Levy," greeted an alluring feminine voice that could only belong to one person. How happy she must have been when I bought her the first phone she'd ever have last year.

I smiled. "Ah, hey there kitten. How are you doing?"

"Pretty good, especially now that we're talking," said Cadance. "What are you up to?"

"Uh, let's just say I kinda felt what you and Celestia must feel every week once some random threat shows up. Handled it, but now I gotta hit the shower." I explained.

"Hm," muttered Cadance. "That's funny because I just had to deal with something and...well...just listen."

I listened intently over the phone line and sure enough, I could hear the drizzling sound of water too.

"So you're washing up too huh?" I smirked. "Wish I could be there just to see you."

"Oh come on Lev," mused Cadance. "We shower and bathe everyday when we're together, you've got to be tired of that by now."

"With you? Nah," I replied. "I'll never get over the sight of you..."

Cadance interrupted me and spoke with a seductive tone. "The sight of me in my royal shower, my body slumped back and hugging the wall with my perky ass, wet and naked save for a band to fix my hair into a drenched ponytail. The sight of water rushing down my body from my beautiful face, to my soapy perky breasts, through my belly, my well endowed thighs and finally my legs that just go on for miles. All of which ties up to a nice picture of my body glowing with wet shinning beauty."

I sighed with pleasure. "Yeah, that's the sight. And it's making me really hard."

"Do tell." requested Cadance.

"You know, my member just stiff and pointing in the shower, rock solid as water drips off from balls, to shaft to head. It's a shame my length isn't there to penetrate your well endowed body." I told.

"Hmmm," moaned Cadance. "Now I'm getting wet down there, and it ain't the shower water."

"Yeah, I'd jack off to this, but you know...Arstrotzkan conditioning and all," I chuckled. "But wait, isn't using a phone in the middle of the shower pretty dangerous?"

"Only if you haven't charmed it to be waterproof like I did," responded Cadance. "Besides, it's gonna take more than a phone's discharge to get rid of me."

We both laughed and Cadance resumed the conversation, her voice a little more serious.

"So what did you have to face?" asked Cadance.

"Um," I stammered. "I...uh..had to enter a local Germane bar and let's just say some of the patrons weren't Arstrotzkans or Germanes."

"Changelings?" sighed Cadance.

"Pretty much." I nodded.

"I get the feeling this might not be the last time you'll see them?" remarked Cadance.

"Nah, your hero of the people managed to take them down." I bragged.

"Riiight," giggled Cadance. "Taking Changelings out huh? Do you want an award for making a peanut butter sandwich next?"

"Oh come on," I defended. "They almost got their claws on me."

"Well that's embarrassing for a Commissar." teased Cadance.

"Hey, all that matters is that I defeated them and that I learned from the best when handling myself." I replied.

"I can't disagree with that," bragged Cadance. "Have to admit, you're doing better by yourself when something goes down."

"And you're taking the news of Changelings much better." I noted.

"Yeah, I guess they're not too hard to repel after all, even if I am their favorite snack." joked Cadance.

"Well, after this encounter, I think it's clear that they'll start reconsidering going near us," I said. "So what entity did you face this week?"

"Oh nothing much," yawned Cadance, as if that reaction couldn't have been any more appropriate. "Just some couple Diamond Dog bandits that were trying to steal some Hearth's Warming Eve presents. A few apprehensions and some cliche lectures on Hearth's Warming Eve being about friendship and not material possessions later, and they stood down."

"I'm guessing those detentions weren't too hard were they?" I guessed.

"I broke a bit of a sweat, so that's why I'm taking a shower to wash my curvy voluptuous body that you love to have sex with." told Cadance.

"Oh Cadance, my cock can only get so stiff." I mused.

"We'll see about that when you come over tomorrow for Hearth's Warming Eve," hummed Cadance alluringly. "I've got quite the gift for you."

"Likewise kitten," I nodded. "Happy Hearth's Warming Eve."

"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve Levy." said Cadance.

I hopped out of the Arstrotzkan train, wearing plain winter gear for once since I wasn't on any sort of diplomatic visit, and found myself in Canterlot once more.

The scene in Canterlot was certainly more festive on Hearth's Warming Eve than in any other place I'd been to on this day. It made sense, considering that Equestria was where this holiday came from and Canterlot was the richest city here.

So many families were being reunited and friends were cheering with each other as was normal for the holidays. It got me even further in the mood to reunite with my girlfriend for this festive day.

With Cadance's gifts in my gloved hands, I made my way to Canterlot castle. All around me, music was blazing loudly full of carols and choirs. Ads were also everywhere, telling consumers to buy the latest product that was probably going to be obsolete in a year.

I stopped by a coffee shop that was famous around the world for its holiday drinks, grabbing me a ginger latte that tasted amazing despite my convictions about it being overpriced, and even stopped by the embassy to say hi to Gelovani and his friends. My train arrived earlier than expected, so it wasn't going to be a problem if I arrived late.

I finally made it to the castle, getting in without any haste since I was well known as Cadance's boyfriend by now. I asked a maid where Cadance was and she said that she was preparing my gift inside Celestia's room while I was to depose my belongings inside Cadance's room. When I asked about her gift, I was told to leave it in her room too.

It seemed a little odd, but I followed through with it. I headed inside Cadance's room, which as usual was decorated with Hearth's Warming Eve trinkets as well. I placed my things on the side until I was clad in just my regular attire.

Before getting out of her room, I took a look at Cadance's desk, noticing how it was filled with photos of her and I on our various escapades over the past few years. I had a pretty similar thing going on in my room back in Arstrotzka as well.

I headed out the door and made my way through the halls to reach Celestia's room. I recalled having only been there twice at that point, but I was able to memorize my way there nonetheless. I wondered why it was necessary to meet with Cadance in Celestia's room, but I figured that whatever she wanted to give me probably involved the latter.

It was at that moment of thought where I began to suspect what my gift from her was going to be.

I passed by various servants and nobles within the castle going about their Holiday business, which involved more merry cheers and caroling. I was pleased to note that at that point, I was never obstructed by anyone to go see Celestia and Cadance, either out growing respect for me or the realization that I wasn't going to fuck off.

Regardless, I finally found myself in front of the door to Celestia's room. There was zero chance that I could miss it, given how big and ornate it was. There were no guards in front of it which seemed odd, but it's not like they were exactly useful in guarding two alicorns.

I took a deep breath and opened the door, as I was essentially a welcome guest. If I wasn't supposed to be inside, I would have either been deterred or faced a look door.

I crept inside Celestia's room, with no side of either her or Cadance. I closed the door behind me and raised an eyebrow.

"Um, hello?" I called out.

"Nya!" purred an all too familiar voice.

I felt something run up behind me and pull me into a hug. Unlike the Changelings before, this one was too fast for me to react too and clearly had love on her mind rather than assault.

I smiled wide and turned around. "Hey there ki....tten?"

My eyes suddenly widened at the sight before me. There was Cadance, clad in pink cat lingerie, one of the two gifts I got her for her birthday.

Cadance winked at me and waved her clenched hand as if it was a cat's paw to beckon me towards her. Her lingerie consisted of a pair of fake cat ears that fit nicely with her hair tucked into a ponytail as usual. She also sported transparent pink elbow gloves and socks, which seemed to be customary for her whenever she wore lingerie. What was really captivating about her though was her cat bra, which while not as revealing as her normal bras, had a cat head shaped key hole right in the center to give me a great peak at her cleavage and side boobs. Then there were panties which consisted of a thin string and cat head shaped front that covered her pussy.

My mouth was hung agape as I tried to take the pure sexiness that was radiating from Cadance...or Catdance..if you pardon the pun.

"Do you like it Levy?" winked Cadance, who gave me a quick twirl to make me eye a fake pink tail which had to be plugged into her butt. The thin strip of fabric that was her panties barely covered any inch of her ass, and looked looked like it was about to fall down at any second thanks to the tail.

"Fucking amazing kitten." I laughed, my pet name for Cadance taking a whole new meaning.

Cadance walked towards me slowly, appropriately like a cat seeking its prey and hugged me close for a kiss. I wasted no time placing my hands on both ass cheeks of her massive love butt and started fondling them as we embraced.

Because of old habits and the fact that I was probably getting lazy at this point, a familiar pink light encompassed my body and magically stripped of my clothes with the exception of my boxers.

Finally, I could feel my nearly naked body brushing alongside Cadance's savoring the feeling of her smooth skin and the fabric of her lingerie. Our kisses grew deeper and deeper while my hands traveled across every square inch of Cadance's backside, even occasionally feeling up her fake tail a little.

After a few more kisses, we pried each other apart and gazed into each other's loving eyes, my hands holding Cadance by her hips.

"So isn't this a great surprise eh kitten?" I chuckled. I looked down at my boxers. "Sorry that my choice of lingerie is a little plain."

"Nya..I mean..that's alright." laughed Cadance, who pecked me on the lips once more.

I raised an eyebrow. "Nya?"

"That's how cats meow in those weird Neighponese cartoons I watched with you in Arstrotzka." reminded Cadance. "Do you like it?"

"Totally!" I smirked.

I was caught off by another feminine voice.

"Well, I'll prefer to go with the traditional meow." called out the voice who belonged to none other than Princess Celestia herself.

I squealed and hugged Cadance tighter in response to seeing Celestia, also clad in cat lingerie the same way Cadance was. The main difference here was that her get up was white colored and that she decided to forgo the stockings and elbow gloves, giving me a nice look at her naked legs that just seemed to go on forever.

I drove my eyes up to where Celestia's breasts were, and surely enough, her bountiful chest was barely contained by her kitty bra.

She certainly had the largest pair of tits that I had ever laid eyes on, even larger than Cadance's or a blonde girl from our cities in the Scandineighvian peninsula. It certainly fit Celestia however, given that she was probably the tallest woman that I had ever laid eyes on, sporting an amazonian body that was insanely voluptuous and athletically toned. Her proportions screamed goddess and could pass for either a supermodel from another world or a sports star.

Celestia's height became even more apparent as she walked towards us, placing an emphasis on her hips. The closer Celestia was, the larger my erection within my boxers grew which Cadance could certainly feel given how tightly I was hugging her. In fact, my crotch began to feel a bit of a wet sensation poking at it, which had to be coming from Cadance's arousal.

Celestia stopped just a step away from me, enough for the tips of her large breasts to start caressing my arm through the fabric of her cat bra. It was an even bigger revelation to how tall she was up close, as while I and the pretty tall Cadance stood eye to eye, Celestia was always looking down on us.

Placing her each of her hands on the two of us, Celestia gave us a smile both motherly and seductive as she spoke. "So what do you think of this little kitty Mr. Lev?"

"HOT...I...er.." I struggled to speak.

Celestia closed her eyes and giggled. "Don't worry, you performed better than half of my partners when they saw me in a state like this. I might have a limited selection of people to have intercourse with, but even I got used to reactions like that by now."

I could feel Cadance taking a step back, making me let of my grip on her. I turned my head to her and back to Celestia few times, wondering which I girl I should focus on. Cadance was my girlfriend and the Alicorn of love, but she wasn't kidding when she said Celestia was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

Celestia placed her hands on my elbows and lowered her head towards me. It was a miracle that it didn't stop sweating, because her beautiful face was captivating beyond all belief. I knew Alicorns had a bit of a natural allure to anyone that could experience attraction to them, but it almost felt like Celestia was using a spell on me to keep my captivated.

I instinctively moved my hands from Celestia's curvy thighs up her body, travelling through her toned belly, making out the shape of her breasts and finally relaxing one hand on her firm ass cheek and the other on her back.

It didn't feel that right to me however, since I was Cadance's boyfriend. I glanced towards her, but all Cadance did was smile and nod, she too captivated by Celestia's voluptuous body. In that moment, all doubt vanished.

I pressed my lips against Celestia's, the most powerful and beautiful woman in the world, and my brain melted in pure bliss. I strengthened the grip of my fingers on Celestia's back and ass cheek, but they were as firm as the were smooth, so I couldn't really sink my digits in deep.

After what felt like an eternity, Celestia and I pulled apart from each others' embrace. I looked up at her mesmerizing eyes while my hands found so much of her backside, ass and legs to feel up.

"I guess this beats and Hearth's Warming Eve gift I was about to give Cadance." I muttered, hugging Celestia tight to feel the full weight of her giant tracks of land of my chest.

"And what would have that been?" asked Celestia, as we both turned towards Cadance who crept her body right next to us.

"It was a pink jacket and matching white sweater that I ordered directly from Prance. You know Cadance, the one you were eyeing?" I said.

"Aw," chirped Cadance who kissed me in the lips. "Thanks so much for that! I can't wait to try it on."

"Yeah well," I sighed placing one hand against Celestia's ass and another against Cadance's. "Nothing is going to beat the gift of fucking two adorably sexy kittens."

Celestia laughed and kissed me on the lips. "Anything to make your fantasies come true."

Celestia pushed her chest forward to press her breasts onto me, assaulting my body with her perky goodness. The next thing I knew, she turned around to face Cadance and tend to her needs.

Cadance wrapped her hands around Celestia and the two pecked each other on the lips. They pulled their bodies closely, causing their breasts to start smothering each other for dominance.

Celestia and Cadance felt each other up as they kissed and giggled for a minute. Their fake cat tails waggled in excitement, almost as if they were really a part of their bodies.

I on the other hand, stood there while watching the two kiss with intense arousal, to the point where my hardening cock almost caused my boxers to fall off. There really just was something about the two alicorns of Equestria, the hottest women in the world, kissing each other passionately while rubbing their bodies together.

The two paused their embrace, and still hugging each other tightly, turned to face me.

"What do you think Lev?" winked Cadance.

I wanted to yell about how sexy the scene of Cadance and Celestia kissing was, but another part of me caused me to shake my head, considering the two were aunt and niece.

"I...I...aren't you two related?" I blurted. "This is hot, but so fucking wrong on other levels."

Cadance giggled. "Lev, you know Celestia and I aren't actual blood relatives right? Aunt and niece are just formal titles."

"But still," I shook. "You grew up with her and saw her as an aunt! You...shouldn't exactly be feeling or be able to do those things even after more than a decade."

Cadance's smile didn't drop as she faced Celestia. "Actually, this big kitty right here didn't really show up a lot to raise me as her kid. We only had each other in big ceremonies only."

Celestia rolled her eyes. "You insisted Cadance dear. You wanted a slightly more normal childhood, so I opted to stay out to until you were mature...which by the way."

Celestia kissed Cadance on the forehead and moved her hands towards the latter's cat bra. I gulped as Celestia untied the knot behind Cadance, which caused Cadance's breasts to immediately burst free with a supple plop.

Cadance's breasts were just as large as always, engorged and perky with her arousal. Cadance blushed as Celestia began feeling up her breasts, enjoying her supple mounds.

"My my," whispered Celestia as she jiggled Cadance's tits. "You sure have come a long way Cadance. Of course, an alicorn female after 18 will enjoy large breasts engorged with loads of milk as a symbol of fertility, but yours seem particularly well endowed."

I gulped as I witnessed Celestia skid her hands across the mounds of Cadance's breasts like it was a doctor's inspection. The smell of her arousal only intensified the longer Celestia continued to feel her up.

Celestia began to softly jiggle and bounce Cadance's breasts, laughing at their buxom nature as two continued to embrace. Celestia then proceeded to start squeezing Cadance's tits, sinking her fingers into the supple flesh from base to the nipples, the last of which she teased and twirled with her thumbs.

As what always happened after a good squeeze of Cadance's tits, droplets began to leak out of her nipples, to which Celestia responded by licking her lips in thirst.

"It's time to see what this little kitten is made of, wouldn't you agree Lev?" whispered Celestia seductively.

"Da...er..yes." I stammered like usual.

Celestia kissed me full on the lips before doing the same with Cadance. She crouched down a bit and placed her hands on Cadance's panties, which she then proceeded to pull down in a slow and passionate manner.

The room soon became scented with Cadance's arousal.

"Such a cute little pussy you've got there." laughed Celestia, who greeted Cadance's womanhood with a quick peck.

The star here wasn't Cadance's sex however, but rather her tits, which Celestia and I instinctively nudged our heads towards. We used one hand to latch onto the breast of Cadance that was on our side and the corresponding ass cheek to keep us balanced.

Cadance gave us a bit of a loud yelp as she felt the mounds of her tits and ass clutched by Celestia and myself. She immediately calmed down however, when we began embracing her buxom breasts.

Celestia and I started by greeting the supple mounds of Cadance's pair with kisses that gradually grew quicker over the second. Soon enough, we would then alternate by kissing the firm skin with either slow and long embraces or quick pecks. Regardless of what the two of us did, we still managed to elicit moans and meows of pleasure from Cadance. Funny enough, her fake tail shot up every time she moaned as if it really belonged to her.

Speaking of said tail, mine and Celestia's other free hand would tease Cadance's fake add on when we weren't slapping her ass. With the combined feeling of her tits being kissed, an explosion of pleasure had to be overloading Cadance.

At that point, Cadance was fake meowing and panting heavily, so Celestia and I decided to soothe things up a bit by suckling in Cadance's dripping nipples.

Cadance rocked her head back, playing with her ponytail as she moaned heavily upon being nursed, which seemed to take over the feeling of having her ass squeezed hard.

Celestia sucked a few time on Cadance's breasts before looking up at the former and wiped her mouth. "Your fluids taste delightful Cadance. Lev is really lucky to have your bounty all for himself. So would any child if breast feeding was still the norm for infants."

"Nya...nya..hehe." giggled Cadance with a deep blush.

I accelerated the rate at which I sucked Cadance's breast, my lips tugging furiously at her nipple to squeeze her dry. Drop after drop ran down my throat and while I wanted to savor the taste as usual, there was no way I could stop suckling once I started.

My hand holding Cadance's breast had skidded off her all the while, feeling up other part's of Cadance's front like her moist pussy or toned belly. At that moment however, it had been tugging on the straps of Celestia's cat bra, which dared to still be on her.

Not turning our heads away from Cadance's leaking breasts, I undid Celestia's top, which caused her cat bra to fall down and release the largest tracks of land known to man kind. Celestia silently noted my intentions and then pulled the string at her cat panties, which dropped down and freed her glorious sun butt.

At that moment, I was torn by what I wanted to continue paying full attention to. There was Cadance's lactating breasts I was happily sucking on, her perky ass my fingers were dancing on, but now there was the back of Celestia's body. There was a lot of naked skin from Celestia to enjoy, but she was crouched down a bit so I couldn't reach her ass. Her gigantic breasts on the other hand were teasing Cadance's mid lower body, and I began inspecting their fullness, taking delight in the perky flesh.

As Cadance's breasts were obviously about to expend their contents for the day, I finally brought up my hand to squeeze her tit hard, making sure that I could get every single straggling droplet out of her.

The force at which I grabbed Cadance's breast seemed to overwhelm her, as she cried in a mixture of pleasure in pain, or more accurately, let another one of her catish squeals loose. Celestia herself had the same idea, but she herself was using two hands to squeeze Cadance's tits, filling her mouth full.

Celestia and I took a step back after sipping from Cadance's emptied breasts, giving her a moment to take it easy and relax. Cadance took a deep breath, and lightly massaged her own breasts and nipples, relieving them of their soreness.

Celestia gave me a hug and kissed me on the lips, which I responded to by pressing my lips tight on her's and grabbing her glorious sunbutt, which was large and as full of perky goodness as her breasts. Her large tracks of land herself were pressed fully against my chest, smudging it hard and prodding me with her erect nipples.

I gave Celestia's ass one massive squeeze as we kissed, which caused her to chuckle and break apart the kiss. We didn't let go of our hug however, and in fact Celestia pushed her gigantic breasts closer onto me as I held her ass tight, occasionally flicking her fake cat tail.

"We seemed to do a good job with Cadance didn't we?" purred Celestia, fittingly enough. "I think it's time to see what you have to offer these two little kitties, is that right?"

"Definitely." I nodded.

Celestia gave me a missive kiss on the lips and I gave her ass a final squeeze. The next thing I knew, Celestia, bent down and pulled down my boxers, finally exposing my erection that had a drip of pre cum leaking from it.

Celestia expected my member with a hungry gaze and lightly dabbed the head of my cock with her tongue, running the drip of semen down her throat. She proceeded to give the head of my cock a few more kisses, eager to taste my semen.

Before she could proceed further however, I could feel Cadance hug me from behind, pressing her massive wrack against my back and greeting me with a kiss on the lips.

"Come on Celestia," purred Cadance. "I'm a little thirst myself and you already got a drink from me."

Celestia sighed and rolled her eyes playfully. "Fine, you may enjoy my offering."

Standing up to tower Cadance and I, Celestia brought her hands towards her breasts and began rubbing them seductively. She jiggled the mounds of her breasts and teased her own nipples with her fingers, emphasizing how stiff they were.

Cadance walked towards Celestia and slightly knelt to one the latter's breasts, and I did the same. I placed both of my hands on Celestia's breast, it being so large that not even two of my hands could fully engulf their perky goodness.

The skin on Celestia's giant track of land was firm as fuck, and I enjoyed sliding my fingers across her barren mounds. I played with Celestia's erect and firm nipples with my thumbs, twirling and prodding them.

My fingers danced around Celestia's breasts for a few more moments before I started to squeeze her breasts at the base of her chest, gradually working my way up. Sure enough, tiny droplets began to drip from the tips of her pointy hard nipples and started to trickle down her breasts. Aroused, I prodded and swallowed the droplet before it could descend further.

A moan from Celestia caused me to glance to my side and notice that Cadance was already making out with Celestia's tit, sucking her dry.

I licked my lips and brought my face towards Celestia's amazingly bountiful chest to reap what had in store for me. All the while, the tip of my cock was prodding her curvy thigh, tickling my member's head with her firm skin.

As I had done with Cadance moments earlier, I retracted my lips back and forth on Celestia's nipple, sucking her loaded breast like a candy sweet for kids. Every time I pulled my lips back towards me, a stream of milk would fill up my mouth and run down my throat.

I savored the taste of Celestia's lactating tits, which tasted awfully sweet as if it was the best cup of milk I'd ever have. A stranger sensation crept through my body the further I drank from Celestia, as if everything in my body felt refreshed and aroused. Considering that the breast milk of Celestia and Cadance would probably have been used for other alicorns, it made sense that I'd feel insanely splendid upon drinking it.

All the while, my hands were squeezing Celestia's gigantic breast hard, trying to make sure that every droplet from her wouldn't go to waste. I noticed that Celestia had a lot more in her chest to offer me and Cadance as we had been sucking for a while now, but that made sense as obviously Celestia was a cup size larger than Cadance.

"Uhh...you two are wonderful." moaned Celestia in pure arousal.

My hands hesitantly abandoned feeling up Celestia's breast for a while and I brought them towards Cadance's and Celestia's asses, feeling the firm skin of their rears and occasionally flicking their fake cat tails. For whatever reason, every flick that made Celestia giggle only made her seemingly protrude milk from her chest.

I tested how far I could have gone by giving Celestia's ass another good old squeeze followed by a spank and surely enough, Celestia's moans of ecstasy doubled and as did the contents of what Cadance and I swallowed.

Unfortunately for the two of us, my spanking and grabbing of Celestia's ass only did so little to extend the time Cadance and I had sucking Celestia dry, for it seemed Celestia was about to run out.

I brought my hands away from the two's asses and fake tails and gave Celestia's breast one final squeeze, swallowing the last stream of milk, making sure I savored the taste. It took a while, but all good things did have to come to an end.

I finally got up and wiped my mouth while Cadance did the same, giving Celestia a kiss on the lips with her still milk covered mouth.

It was a beautiful sight to see the two princesses kiss each other passionately. Their eyes were closed to signal just how deep in the moment they were and how much they loved each other. They hugged each other tightly while moving their arms up and down each other's backs, feeling the smooth skin of their voluptuous bodies. Best of all, their gigantic breasts now drained of milk docked and squeezed each other in a battle of dominance, mushing the plentiful skin of each other's mounds and pointy nipples together.

The two forgot one thing however, and that was to feel up each other's asses, as I broke them up by giving the two a pretty big spank. Celestia and Cadance turned faced me with a smile, still hugging each other and squeezing their full boobs together.

"You two had a lot...to offer." I chuckled.

"Well of course, an alicorn has to have plenty if she's going to be the perfect embodiment of fertility." mused Celestia seductively.

"But with the whole commercial dairy thing, we now just save it to seduce our lovers and make them feel aroused." added Cadance.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I thought." I nodded.

"Now Lev, you were on the receiving end from Cadance and I," noted Celestia who eyed my erect cock. "Therefore, you must thus have something to offer us in return."

"And since he's my boyfriend, I get to go first." cheered Cadance.

Celestia rolled her eyes playfully. "Fine, you get to take the bed first."

Cadance giggled and kissed Celestia one final time, this time the two also using each other's hand to feel the other's respective breasts, admiring their fullness. After playfully bouncing and jiggling them, Cadance walked up to me.

After she and I hugged and embraced just once more, I took Cadance's hand and accompanied her to the bed that had yet to be used by the three of us.

Before I could do anything, I could feel a strange force take over my body and a glowing ethereal force glowing around it. Suddenly, I was picked up by a telekinetic force that obviously belong to Cadance and was laid down on the middle of the bed, resting on my back.

I looked behind me and saw a smirking Cadance hop onto the mattress and start crawling towards me, fittingly like a cat stalking its prey. On all fours, Cadance approached me, purring seductively.

My erection somehow elongated even more upon seeing the way Cadance moved like cat. Her large breasts were drooping and flapping as she crawled while her thighs and arms swayed slowly and gracefully.

Soon enough I found Cadance and her fake cat ear headband starring down at me playfully.

"Hey kitten." I smirked, before Cadance proceeded to kiss me on the forehead and then on my lips.

We held the embrace for a solid moment before Cadance began to nudge her arched body forward. Cadance first held and dangled her large buxom breasts over my face, which I kissed and sucked, even though those were obviously dried out by now. Next, Cadance proceeded to start kissing the bottom of my chest and belly, to which I did the same. Cadance's firm belly was a certainly a pleasure to kiss, especially her cute little belly button.

After Cadance licked my chest a few more times like, what else, a kitten and eyed her prize. My erection was pointing upwards, ready for Cadance to take start embracing it.

Still arched over me, Cadance started out by giving my dick a long wet lick, her tongue travelling from the base of my shaft all the way to the tip of my cock. I could feel her heavy breathing tickle my member as she placed lick after lick on it, treating my dick like a candy. Each lick from Cadance sent a shock of pleasure that traveled up my spine from my cock to the top of my body.

I was so mesmerized by the sight of Cadance's blowjob that I forgot her moist sex was practically up against my face.

I got to work to embrace the pussy's little...pussy and grabbed both of Cadance's firm ass cheeks, squeezing them hard and sinking my fingers deep into it. The pressure I applied only caused Cadance to yelp and break her blowjob for a mere second before resuming.

I brought my nose forward to smell Cadance's dripping pussy, the scent of which filled me with arousal. As Cadance continued to kiss and lick my cock, I greeted her sex with a long lick like she did to mine to grab a hold of her vaginal fluids.

My lick caused Cadance to shiver in delight, enjoying the texture of my tongue scrapping her pussy. Once my tongue had been loaded with her fluids, I swallowed those juices down and instantly I wanted more. I probed and kissed Cadance's pussy at an accelerating pace, and each time I embraced her pussy, droplet by droplet of her juices found its way down my throat.

The 69 position we were in was driving me crazy with pleasure, as Cadance and I performed oral sex on each other masterfully while also enjoying the full feeling of out bodies touching each other. I'd even take a second or two to flick her fake cat tail.

Cadance began licking and sucking my cock faster and faster and I did the same while embracing her pussy. Clearly, the two of us were in a bit of a race to see who could make the other cum first as we mutually gave oral to each other. Since Cadance was the Princess Alicorn of love of course, she would obviously be the victor.

I could feel drips of pre cum leaking from the head of my dick as Cadance sucked and licked. I had made love to Cadance so many times that I had built up an especially long endurance with my sex, but Cadance was obviously eager and impatient in trying to get me to cum. I too was feeling streams of vaginal fluids leak from Cadance, but her pussy was tensing and tightening just yet.

I hardened my fingers' grip on Cadance's ass cheeks, but it was to no avail. My kitten was holding out strong.

Just when things were getting hectic, Celestia reminded us that she was in the room and had already been laying down on her stomach in front of the two us 69ing.

Although my vision was blocked by Cadance's glorious pussy and thighs, I could feel Celestia's breathing nearing my cock too. The next thing I knew, Cadance nudged her head a bit to kiss and suck the tip of my cock while Celestia started kissing and licking the shaft.

My heart was racing, the two most beautiful women in the world were giving I, allegedly the most handsome man from Hoovograd, a dual blowjob. Words couldn't describe how I felt as the two worked on my member, enjoying my stiff rod. I even had to hold a giggle or two when they started using their teeth to tickle my member.

I spread Cadance's ass cheeks wider and nudged her fake cat tail, hoping to get more of her pussy's juices, and drove my tongue into her. I could finally feel Cadance's vaginal walls beginning to tighten as my tongue explored the depths of her sex. Bit of bit of my tongue vanished into Cadance's folds, sending the two of us in an eternal bliss despite the whole 69ing thing having only gone on for a few minutes.

Without any pun intended, our race to make each other cum first was getting to its climax, only for me to suddenly feel Cadance and Celestia stop sucking on my dick's base and tip for a moment.

Right as I was about to wonder what they had in store for me, I felt two large breasts from Cadance nudge forward and plop themselves right onto my dick. My cock was sandwiched between two loaves that were Cadance's giant tits that had no hope of escape.

"Come on Cadance," sighed Celestia. "Don't hold it for yourself."

"Nyaaaa," teased Cadance, and I could have sworn she stuck her tongue out at Celestia.

My already close to cumming cock was throbbing as Cadance rocked her chest from side to side, causing her dangling breasts to start shoving my cock around as well.

Jerking me off with her giant breasts, Cadance's hips began swaying as well, which caused my mouth to retreat from her pussy. As if Cadance's wild movements weren't enough to shove my face away from her sex, I began moaning loudly in ecstasy.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the awfully comfortable bet, gritting my teeth as Cadance's jiggling breasts assaulted my dick with their buxom goodness. There was no way I could focus on giving Cadance's pussy any sort of embrace now that she was swaying her hips and upper body so wildly. The fact that she pointed her ass up to mush her breasts onto my dick didn't help.

Cadance gave my cock one more final squeeze before she rocked her hips back to envelope my entire erection in her mouth. With a few hard sucks, I finally lost myself and let loose a stream of cum into Cadance's mouth, which my happy kitten drank happily.

Another burst found itself in Cadance's mouth, but rather than hearing her swallowing it, I instead heard the sound of what had to be a cum kiss between Celestia and Cadance.

"You taste sweet Lev." purred Celestia.

I made barely audible sounds as I rested my head back and panted for a second, catching my breath.

"I wonder how that will feel inside of me." mused Celestia.

I raised an eyebrow. "Wha...MMMMFFFF"

Before I could respond, Cadance got off her elbows and sat up on her knees. As a result, her juicy lovebutt slammed into my face, enveloping my face with it glorious ass cheeks.

Just as a I struggled to make sense of the situation, Cadance lifted herself up a bit, flicking my face with her fake tail and readjusted her hips so that she wouldn't be completely pounding my face with her ass. One again, I found myself looking straight at her pussy which had not yet lot out its vaginal fluids yet given her endurance. I raised my hands in the nick of time to slap and hold onto her ass in a position I was comfortable with.

On the lower end of my body, I could feel my legs touching Celestia's as she too got on her knees ready to make love to me. I barley was able to make out Celestia's hips swaying towards mine, knowing what she wanted to do.

Celestia lowered her hips down and I could feel the tip of my cock brushing against her moist pussy. My erection was slobbering wet from Cadance's mouth and had spent a round of semen, but the innate magical allure of making love to Celestia prevented my cock from going limp just yet.

"Now that your dick is all lubed up, it should be an easy fit in for me." mused Celestia.

I gritted my teeth and shot my face up to Cadance's folds as I felt the tip of my erection rub against Celestia's entrance.

"Hold me tight dear." whispered Celestia to Cadance as they began to fasten onto each other.

I nudged my head up a bit to the side to take a glance at what was going on while I felt my erection entering Celestia. The two Princesses were feeling up each others' breasts for a few moments before their hands traveled up to each other's elbows which they pulled each other by.

My body jerked as the two women on top of me pulled each other closely and began embracing each other. I didn't need to see it, but I was sure that as Celestia and Cadance were holding each other by their elbows, their breasts had enough space fully rub against each other and compete for dominance.

My dick meanwhile was experiencing all sorts of pleasure that was travelling up my spine as inch after inch entered Celestia. She was already moist inside from her arousal, so my cock didn't have too much trouble moving inside her deep spaces. That didn't change the fact that Celestia's walls were apparently contracting to hold my dick in place, jerking it raw inside my body.

All that needed to be accounted for now was to finish what I had started with Cadance's pussy that was rubbing against my face. I shoved Cadance's fake cat tail aside, grabbed her two ass cheeks, and started embracing it once more.

After a good minute, the entirety of my cock from base, to shaft to head, was entirely engulfed inside Celestia. My member was already dripping bits of pre cum inside of her so I knew I didn't have long before I ejaculated for the final time.

With everyone's sex being pleasured either orally or through penetration, the three of us were rocking our bodies hard. I had to resist every urge to shoot my legs above the bed because Celestia was jerking her hips wildly to pound my dick. Cadance meanwhile finally looked like she was extremely close to cumming.

Celestia let out all she got as she rocked her hips faster and faster than ever. The same could have been said about her kisses to Cadance. Their breasts were surely hugging each other tightly, and I wondered how their buxom chests did bounce each other back.

"I love you two!" yelled Celestia, albeit in a rather calm and still seductive manner.

"Nya...." was all Cadance could let out as the sexy Princess dressed as a kitten was reaching her limits.

I gripped Cadance's ass tighter and forced it down on my face, somehow resisting the smother pain as I burrowed my tongue deep inside of her like how my cock was buried deep inside Celestia. Trickles of Cadance's vaginal fluids were coating my tongue and I knew it was only a few moments before we all climaxed.

Both Celestia's and Cadance's walls tightened for the final time to secure the erection and tongue buried inside them respectively. Their bodies certainly didn't want any last second pull outs from the feel of it.

After what felt like an eternity of Celestia pounding her tightening vaginal walls down my cock with all fury, and my tongue exploring Cadance's pussy, we all let loose. As if it was by magic, which it probably was given the nature of the Princesses, we practically came at the same time.

I could feel my semen coating Celestia's insides whose juices also engulfed my entire cock. I felt our fluids mix and splash into each other in what was a very deep, but tight space.

Meanwhile, Cadance's climax of pussy juices flowed down and coated my tongue. I finally retracted my tongue and happily swallowed the fluids that were latched onto it. Since my tongue was now back in my mouth, an entire stream of her fluids began running down my mouth. I had to Prench kiss her pussy just to control the amount that was leaking from her and make sure that every last drop was inside my mouth and finally through my throat.

My final burst of semen ejaculated in Celestia's walls and finally began to go a bit limp inside her. Trickles of cum flowed down from her entrance which I could feel spilling onto out laps. Cadance's sex mean while had been drained of its juices too, which I could tell by the absence of that distinct aroma and taste inside of her.

The 3 of us remained in our position for a few more seconds, enjoying the feeling of our bodies exchanging sex fluids.

I decided to bring things to its conclusion by raising my upper body forward, causing Cadance to lose balance and fall onto Celestia. The latter was rocked backwards by Cadance and fell off my body, freeing my dick from Celestia's vaginal folds as fell on her backside on her bed. Cadance quickly joined her aunt by laying down on top of her, causing their breasts to smudge against each other and lips to greet.

I chuckled at the site of the two embracing and hugging their tits as I got on my belly and crawled towards them. I licked my lips to make sure any drops of Cadance's vaginal fluids were not clinging onto my mouth.

Cadance sensed my presence and nudged her body to the side, giving me half of Celestia's voluptuous body to lie down on top of. I rocked my head a bit back to kiss Celestia's breast one final time while she and Cadance made out.

We were evidently two tired to go on though, as I decided to quickly end it by bringing my face up to the girls for a final kiss from each of them. My erection meanwhile had softened, but found itself in a nice place smudged between Celestia's and Cadance's thighs and pussies.

We all took a deep breath and chuckled. I relaxed by placing an arm around Cadance another around Celestia's neck, giving the former and I plenty of room to embrace Celestia as well as each other. Cadance and I rested our heads on Celestia's huge breasts, which made rather comfortable pillows.

"Thanks for the gift kitten." I said with a light yawn.

"Actually Lev," smirked Cadance. "This was Celestia's idea."

"What?" I laughed in surprise.

"It's true," confirmed Celestia. "Being aware of your nickname and cat lingerie gift for Cadance, I had gotten myself a pair of as well to spice things up when I have sex."

"Well, I certainly enjoyed it." I remarked.

"That's good to hear Lev," said Celestia softly. "You now know what it's like to make love to a women who has had hundreds of partners by now."

"Hundreds?" I grinned.

"I don't like to consider myself that old Lev," whispered Celestia. "But when you look young and are over a thousand years old, you're bound to attract a lot of people to your bed. Because they don't worship or fear me, the Great Powers tend to provide the best lovers, and I had yet to rectify not trying you out up until now."

"You should have asked sooner Celly." remarked Cadance playfully.

"I feel amazing right now if that's any help," I smiled, nuzzling my cheek against the mounds of Celestia's breast. "So what's your gift Cadance, if you don't mind answering right now."

Cadance beamed at me while rubbing my cheek with her gloved hand. "Since we didn't have a proper diplomatic mission in Arstrotzka for over a thousand years, but are in the midst of closer ties thanks to our relationship, I've decided to be head of the first mission opening up in the new year."

My mouth dropped. "What?"

"Lev," chuckled Cadance. "I'm going to be the official Equestrian ambassador to Arstrotzka. I'll be living in Moscolt with you and setting up office once we get there in a few days."

I smiled widely. This was amazing beyond all relief. My girlfriend, who I had to take long train rides to visit, was going to be living with me in the capital of Arstrotzka. And we were now both technically embassy officials. A double win.

"This has been magical." I said sarcastically.

"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve you two." laughed Celestia.

"Happy Hearth's Warming Eve Celestia." chanted Cadance and I in unison as we all drifted to sleep, enjoying the feeling of each other's bodies.
