Author's Note

Please keep in mind for now and the future that anything in blue text as so is Luna's thoughts and anything with yellow words like this are Derricks thoughts. This is going to make things much simpler and make it to where its not just saying "Luna thought" or "derrick thought" through the story. Sorry for the inconvenience of a Pre Read guys. Hope you enjoy!

(Ps.- you can expect the next chapter by about Friday of next week, if not Saturday of this week!)

Chapter 1

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I woke up to an annoyingly familiar beeping. Ugh. I just want ten minutes for myself after twilights special "Poker Slumber Party" last night. Glad I could sneak out of there...even if I don't remember how...All well. Note to self though...avoid alcohol and Rainbow Dash at the same time. Derrick thought to himself as he slammed his fist down on the alarm clock, effectively silencing it, and turned back over to his stomach before closing his eyes and trying to drift back to sleep.

He was invited to Twilight's library last night at about two in the evening yesterday for "urgent business" as Twilight called it, however when he arrived he found all of his friends completely shit-face drunk and found a certain purple scaled assistant of twilights getting frisky on Rarity. This was a bit of a shocker to me because Rarity seemed to be egging him on and NOT trying to stop him in any way, shape or form. After wondering around for a bit and finding twilight hiding in her room trying to sleep, she said that she thought I should try to make some friends. I tried to tell her I preferred the solitude of my humble abode, but she quickly shot down the idea of me being a loner for the rest of my life and even called me a hermit. I might like to not leave my house unless I need to for food or something or maybe to go to the local gym, but that didn't mean I was a hermit. We argued for a while, but ultimately twilight had a point when she said that I was probably going to die alone. She then tried to tell me to get a special some pony, but I quickly shot that idea down considering that I'm not into being in a relation ship after what happened last time. She tried to convince me, but eventually threatened to turn me into a balloon and give me to Pinkie Pie if I didn't at least get a roommate. I agreed and then I remember Twilight asking me if I wanted a drink, but everything after that was a blur.

My thoughts were stopped when I heard a loud knocking. Someone was at the door, but I couldn't be bothered. At least I wouldn't have been before a purple bolt of magic shot through the window and almost hit me in the face. That got me up real quickly seeing as I bolted to the closet and yelled "I'm up! Cease fire! CEASE FIRE DAMNIT!" Then I heard a voice that I hoped I wouldn't for the day.

"Open up Derrick, we need to talk. Now!" It was Twilight.

I sighed and slipped on some light green sweat pants and a tight black muscle shirt, courtesy of Rarity, over my form and made my way to the door. As I unlocked it, Twilight bolted in and slammed the door into the only thing in the way, my toe. Needles to say I might have screamed a few.....ok a lot of obscenities to the world as my toe throbbed in pain before Twilight used a spell and the pain was instantly gone. I let out a sigh of relief and glared at the purple unicorn mare with a dark purple mane and tail that was accented by a light purple and pink stripe down the center of it. She just smiled sheepishly at me and scraped a fore hoof at the floor boards.

"Heh...sorry. Thought you would be up considering that it's about four in the evening." This made you glare harden at the unicorn.

"That's not why I'm upset Sparkly butt. Your paying for the window...again. I mean how hard is it to just tap on it or something? Come on Twi! This makes the third time this week."

This caused twilight to raise her head and look at me with an expression of glee on her face as she responded. "Well if it makes you feel any better I have some good news this time! And I don't mean the type of news like last night...well kinda." Turns out that I found out a pony who is looking for a roommate like yourself and I told her you would let her stay with you for maybe one or two...maybe three....years...at least."

As she said that, my eyes grew to the size of golf balls and my breath caught in my throat. "T-twilight....did you just say......t-three years....at -least?" She responded with a slow nod of the head. "T-twi...I'm just want you to know....I'm going to get payback while your sleeping..." I said as I rubbed my temples.

"What!? You cant do that! We had a deal! You said you would get a roommate last night! Not fair Derrick. Your breaking your promise!" She said with a huff as she plopped down on the floor and crossed her fore hooves and made an adorable pouting face, even for a pony.

"Yes twilight. I said, and I quote, 'I agree to find a roommate by the end of this month.' I never said that YOU could find me a roommate. Besides twi. Your version of a 'cool' roommate is princess Celestia. You like people who study all the time. In short, you pick egg heads."

Just as I finished with a smug grin and a huff to show that I had won the argument, I heard another voice behind me that made my heart skip a beat. It was a sweet voice that had a soft, maternal glow to it.

"I don't think I'm an egg head, and surely I do more then study." Twilight had a smug grin plastered on her face as my eyes shrank to pinpricks and I slowly turned to see Princess Celestia standing right in front of me with a similar smug grin on her mussel. "Anyways," She started as her grin started to fall back into her usual soft hearted smile. "I hear you have been looking for a roommate, correct?"

Uh oh.... Ok. Just keep cool. This is all just a prank by Pinkie. She always seems to be pulling these sort of things. Yea, that's it! Any second now she will jump out and yell 'gotcha!' or something. Derrick started to worry when no pink mass had erupted from thin air as she usually does.

"Well?" Celestia said with a knowing look. "Would you like to meet your new roommate?"

"S-s-sure." Derrick stuttered. He was nervous. He didn't know what to think about the princess showing up at HIS doorstep and asking if he wanted to meet someone. Let alone a new roommate. "S-so...where is he?" He asked after a moment of silence.

"She will be here in about three...two...one..." Celestia said with extra enthuses on the "she". Then, out of nowhere, a bright blue flash momentarily blinded me. After my eyes had stopped burning from the flash, I opened them to see a thought I thought would never happen.

Standing in front of me was Princess Luna. Princess of the Night and Co-Ruler of Equestria. Now if your wondering why this is such a shock, let me enlighten you. I am a gamer. Naturally I am a nocturnal person. I like to stay up late and binge while watching all kinds of movies and playing video games that I acquired after Discord, the god of chaos and disharmony himself, had set me up after he was reformed so we could play together considering we were two of the three who had the consoles. The third owner however, Discord had chosen to keep a secret out of a request.

"Hello Tia. Twilight. And...other." said the midnight blue alicorn with a starry blue mane and tail that seemed to flow in the non-existent wind that was blowing through the air. It was speckled with what looked to be small white stars. She had beautiful blue eyes and stood at about my hight while most of the ponies were about to my chest or neck, and Celestia was about a head taller then me. My jaw completely dropped at the alicorn's appearance. She. Was. Beautiful.

She must have noticed my dumbfounded expression because she covered her mouth with a hoof and let out a small giggle at my expence which was quite possibly one of the most adorable things I have ever- Wait a second! No! I do NOT think of ponies that way! Taboo I say, TABOO!!!

Then there was a hard thud as I might have fainted and fell backwards which would have been okay...if twilight wasn't standing there. She yelped as my unconscious body pinned her to the floor and struggled to get away, to which the two princesses just burst out into a full on giggle fit. That was all I remember as the last of my control was sapped away by the soft caress of unconsciousness...along with a small temper tantrum from the purple mare trapped under me. Eh, I'll worry about it later.
