The OC Theory

Chapter 10

As we sat down in the dinner, we heard a bell chime. One of the hundreds of servers came up to us wearing a cute little black vest, and holding a notepad and pen in her magic.

After retrieving our order, she ran to the back. Cadence and Shiny apologized again for the misunderstanding.

“Again, I am so sorry this happened.” Shining lowered his head in sorrow as his wife continued voicing her apologies.

“Don't worry too much about it! We're both fine now! No harm done.” I tried to comfort them.

Just then, a shriek was let out by one of the guards. We all turned our heads to find Captain Prism floating off the ground, her eyes a pure white. Soon enough I saw Shining Armour do the same.

“Behold, by the light of sun, and serenity of night, we pronounce thee, Prism, to be the Alicorn of light.”

Suddenly a horn sprouted from Prism’s forehead and she was lowered to the ground, unconscious. Then Shining Armour seemed to glow brighter, presumably due to the attention of this cosmic force being on him now.

“And thou, Shining Armour. Thou art to be the first stallion Alicorn Equestria hath seen, in two millennium. We pronounce thee, to be the Alicorn of protection, the guardian of all of our dearest ponies. Both thou, and Prism, shall receive titles, befitting of royalty. Thou can come and claim them, later in the day, from Celestia and Luna, Alicorns of Day and Night.”

Suddenly Shining was unconscious on the ground as well.

“And of course, Chase, don't think we hath forgotten thee. Hm…. Chase does not suit a changeling….How about Reminiscence? It shall work marvelously. Thou, and thy companion, needeth not envy the apotheosis of thy friends. As changelings, thy power lies in a similar field as to alicorns. The only real difference is that Alicorns must have a set skill. Thou needst not bind thyself to only one skill. Thy companion, as well as thou, hast been bestowed a title befitting of royalty. We hope thou cometh and claim it from the Alicorns of Day and Night. Alas, we hath more business to attend to. Farewell.”

And with that, the mysterious, voice that seemed to have been there only to act as the exposition to a really bad fanfiction plot, vanished. Cadence looked at us and smirked at the sight of her unconscious husband. He actually looked really cute, the way he was just sprawled out, and drooling, mumbling things about pancakes and waffle monsters, and by the first egg, that sweet flank of his! My, my, so round, and tight and…..uhm…. That did not just happen.

Indeed.

Why hello there convenient mental construct that explains the story as we go along.

<~=O=~>

A while later, once all the party was awake, we decided that the best decision would be to get on a train to canterlot, and find out what this was all about. Equestria just gained 4 new Royals, two alicorns, and the first male alicorn, in 24 hours. (Technically three royals, one was already Prince by extension, but regardless.) There has to be some explanation, right..?

As we left the diner, we grabbed our food and brought it with us to the train. As we boarded, we were provided with a deluxe cart, just for us. Of course, this was only because of Cadence. Shining and Prism both had to conceal themselves. As for me and Kate, well, we just chose to disguise ourselves as Royal Guards.

“I wonder what titles they have in mind for us. Surely we won’t all become Princesses/Princes?” asked Kate

I shake my head, just barely listening as I stare out the window contemplating the recent events.

The train kept moving, and shaking, moving, and shaking, and

I passed out.

<~=O=~>

I was standing in a field, watching the moon rise. As the moon rose over the horizon, Princess Luna approached me with a smile on her face.

“Ah, Chase, thou art quite the changeling.”

I blush and look at her, “You are quite the mare yourself~”

She blushes and looks back at me, smiling with a mischevious grin as she approached closer. She stands right next to me, her head against mine, her tongue stuck out, and her hoof playing with a tuft of fur on my chest. (Since when do I have fur….?)

“How about we, go somewhere more…. Pleasant~?”

I blush greatly and notice that the scenery has changed and that we were now in a bedroom of a log cabin. A nice yellow glow of a fireplace, warmth that could put you to sleep...it was perfect. Gently she stepped in front of me and pushed me back into the bed, sitting ontop of me. The warmth of her flank on my lap, made me blush even harder. She then leaned in with a goofy, almost drunk grin, her lips puckered as her face grew in my vision. She reached my lips and gently planted a kiss on then, eliciting a gentle gasp from me. She took advantage of this and nibbled on my lower lip, gently massaging it with hers. With a small pause and a breath, she dived in, kissing me deeply, mouth right against mine, almost as though she were trying to eat mine. Her tongue, reaching into my mouth, feeling for mine, as her eyes were sealed tightly, nervousness leaking from her aurora.

Something about this whole situation, the mood of the room, her aura, and the setting, sent my mind into a frenzie. I was lost, in this state of absolute confusion, yet bliss. Not knowing what to do, I leaned in deepening the kiss, my tongue joining her, wrestling hers as we both closed our eyes out of nervousness. As our tongues danced, Luna gently pushed her hips into mine and slowly-

<~=O=~>

With a start I woke up, my head sore from hitting the window of the train as it pulled into Canterlot. Feeling myself quite….bothered… I excused myself for a restroom break before we got off the train.

What was happening to me? Why did I just dream about making out with Princess Luna?
I really need to keep myself in check...

Shining Armour, Cadence, and Prism were requested to visit Celestia’s personal chambers. Kate and I, as I suspected, were summoned to Luna’s quarters.

I could already tell this was gonna be justttt greaatttt

Shut up, you know you’ve always had a thing for Luna.

As we entered her quarters we found the room empty, and upon looking around we discovered a note on the bed instructing Kate to go to the Library, and me to stay here.

With Kate now gone, I took a look around, not noticing much about the room, other than the fact that it was almost completely dark. I did however notice a fireplace in the corner, and I ran to go light it. With that done, I looked round and what I saw both flustered me, and left me speechless.

THIS WAS THE SAME ROOM FROM MY DREAM.

At that moment, as if to make it worse, I noticed Princess Luna, laying on her bed, her regalia on the nightstand beside it, and her hooves covered up, by black and blue striped socks.
She was laying on her stomach, her flank facing me, and her hooves crossed, her front hooves under her chest, her hind hooves, crossed perfectly so that, combined with her tail, it perfectly concealed her more…sensitive...parts.

This of course sent me into a stumbling, blushing, and HIGHLY confused mess. My wings buzzed and my disguise dropped instantly, as I just stared at her. I started breathing heavily as she got up and approached me. She immediately closed her eyes, puckered her lips, and neared me, inches away from my lips. I closed my eyes and started sweating, my heart beating WAY too fast. I braced for impact and then…..nothing came?

I heard laughter and opened my eyes to find both Kate and Princess Luna on the floor laughing. She was still wearing her socks, but she no longer looked like she wanted me. Kate too was wearing socks, matching her Pegasus Disguises colors.

I puffed my cheeks and sat on my flank, fore hooves crossed, and a very unamused face.

“Ha ha very funny…. Now stop..”

After recomposing themselves, the two of them got up and Luna looked serious.

“To make this quick, as we would like to speak to thee privately Reminiscence, thy titles are now Prince and Princess of Equestria. We expect thee to use these in public, and act as moderators to Equestria, and the rest of the world. Alas, Kate, could Reminiscence and I speak in private?”

Kate huffed before walking out, retreating to the library.

“Finally, I can drop this dialect. So annoying…”

I blanked as I realized she didn’t actually speak that way, and only used it in front of people she was uncomfortable with. Speaking of…

“How come you can speak normally around me?”

She shifted weirdly before looking into my eyes.

“From the moment you entered this Universe, I’ve been watching you and Kate, and as I entered your dream-scape I noticed you had a thing for me. I decided to look into your memories and what I saw, shocked me. Your Magical potential, wasted on a planet in which no one can use magic. You academic genius, unused, so that you may satisfy your hunger for amusement. And lastly, your heart, open and warm, the only potential that you seem to have realized. You welcome everyone into your heart, no matter their age, sex, personality, and appearance You are friends with everyone and treat everyone well. These traits have led me to find you...more than perfect for a companion. And well, being a changeling you are one of the only companions I could hope to be with for the rest of my life, as both of us, possess immortality. I know it’s too much to ask, seeing your feelings for Alex, Kate, and Amos, but I ask you, would you please consider, me, or rather, us, being together?”

She pulled out a box from her nightstand, and opened it, as she bend over, almost as if she was a human, prostrating for me, looking up, with wide eyes, and a gentle, kind, warm smile on her muzzle.

“Will you Reminiscence, Prince of Equestria, court us?” she said, slipping back into her Early Modern English(Equestrian?) Dialect.

I began to shift uncomfortably but got it under control. Although I was HIGHLY uncomfortable at the moment, I didn’t want to send mixed signals, or signals that I didn’t mean. I took a second to consider it and weigh the pros and cons, which judging from her patience, and continued pose and smile, she was willing to give.

She was a beautiful mare, an amazing body, but in the end, the personality matters more, doesn’t it? She was kind, loving, caring, and she knows what isolation and loneliness feels like. If anyone knows what if feels like to be ignored, or lacking love, it’s her. She always respects her ponies, and will do anything she can to keep them safe. She has patience, and she has wisdom. She was the perfect mare. And she loved me.

But do I return these feelings? Do I feel love for her? I mean, I’ve always had a thing for her. I took a second to think back on my love for Alex and Kate, and I realized that my love for Alex, was merely my changeling form craving love. However, my love for Kate was slightly deeper rooted. She was the first changeling I met, and having been in her body, she felt the same way I feel for her. But...I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be with her. What if it was just that? Nothing but love for the first changeling I met?

I settled. I was going to ask Luna to invite Kate into our relationship, if at a later time, I felt this way for Kate.

I looked down at Luna, her eyes brightening as I looked down into the box. Inside lay three things. A book of ancient magic, dark magic, light magic, and all other kinds. On top of said book, lay neatly folded socks, in a color scheme that I could help but enjoy. Black and lime green. And on top of that, lay a crown. Neither wide, nor tall. It was around the size of a small Tuna Can, made of solid Onyx, and it had a white moon, similar to Luna’s cutie mark, only it seemed to fade every now and then almost like a memory…. Then I looked at the box it self. It was a wooden one, made of a dark oak, with intricate designs and Luna’s cutie mark on the top.

I lifted the box in my magic, and put the socks on, and wearing the crown on my head, with the book, on my back, the box, in front of me in my magic.

“I, would be honored to court thee, Luna, Princess of the night sky and the Moon~”

She smiled widely and stood at her full height, which now that I thought about it, I had grown to be equal size with her, and she leaned forward and kissed me. The kiss seemed to last forever, her love flowing into me and feeding me passively, as my mind was fuzzy and distracted, by my love, and my spouse, kissing me.

After a perceived eternity, she pulled away, smiling at me.

“Very well Reminiscence, I will send you an invitation to Canterlot in a few days, so that we can plan our Wedding, and our future. For now, go, meet the others in the Library, and get something to eat.”

She hoofed me a small bag of bits, and I realized… do Royals have a salary? Soon I’ll have bills to pay and a family to support!

“After you and your friends eat, I have bought you a house in Ponyville. It’s more of a small mansion, and it’s right next to Twilight’s Castle. Go, settle, and I’ll see you in a few days, my love~”

She planted a soft and warm kiss on my lips, and I smiled in return. I didn’t care to remove these socks and crown. I put the book in the box, and placed it on my back, as I walked out of the room, the doors closing behind me.

Maybe Equestria won’t be that bad….
